Hello guys, i just found the solution for the problem! This works to every phone, no need to root or unlock bootloader!!
Just follow the following steps:
1) Open Dialer app
2) Type the hidden menu code. For example, h815 international model: *#546368#*815#
for other models and more info go there: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/3yn1kw/self_test_hidden_menu_of_marshmallow/
3) You will see the following 4 options: Device Test, ELT Test, SVC Menu, Field Test
You select SVC Menu
4) Then you select Log Service
5) You will see that the Kernel log will be enabled and all the other options disabled. On my stock LG G3, i checked the same options and all was disabled from the day i have it.
So disable kernel log and check the others too! Everything has to be DISABLED
6) Exit the hidden menus and reboot your phone. After that if you check your stats with an app like GSAM you'll see that ''logd'' process is going down to 0%! (Check the picture below for proof!)
If this helped you, press the Thanks! button :good:
just a heads up for those who are voting , you should go through a few battery cycles before noticing if the battery life has improved or not , voting few minutes or hours after applying the fix is not accurate
AT&T Android V6.0
If you're on Marshmallow using an AT&T LG4, it appears that you can also kill "logd" by using the settings menu. Go to settings > general > about phone and uncheck Activity logs. That seems to have disabled the "logd" functionality on my G4. When I opened the Service Menu using the code *#546368#*810# as posted in #1, all the log activities were disabled.
My battery life has improved somewhat, but it still isn't great. At least now "logd" isn't at the top of the list for battery usage!!
My phone is totally stock, with developer option enabled.
Hope this helps.

I made this change about 10 days ago. I've gone through 7 charging cycles since then, so I think the general battery life trend is going to be representative going forward. At first I noticed a significant change. I could get through a day with about 1/2 - 1/3 battery left. Much better than before where I'd be a 10% by 7:00pm. Now, I see about 1-2% battery drain per hour. The phone never seems to go into deep sleep, even at night when I leave it on, based on battery stats.
My usage profile is about average. I use the phone for business, so lots of email, SMS and Skype. Bluetooth is on all the time for my smartwatch as is WiFi.
IMHO, I don't believe the Marshmallow (V6.0) battery life on is nearly as good as it was on Lollipop on this phone. Hoping it gets better with another update....

any other app or process that prevent your device to go into deep sleep maybe ? apart from logd of course
@touns_j
Haven't found one yet. The #1 on the battery usage is "Screen" at the moment. Will need to do more investigation.
No luck man. logd is still active after disabling everything from service menu. I am at second charge already.

Check again the settings guys make sure all is disabled. Also you need to disable activity logs option from About Phone in settings. Then reboot. I don't know guys but for me that worked. 3rd day now and my battery is better than ever. Also logd usage is at 0%

I some how feel that GSAM triggers the logd process. Can't confirm but I find G4 battery performs better in absence of GSAM battery app.
I also thought of it... I am wondering whether logd appears in any other battery stats apps.
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
On my unrooted H-811 all logs were disabled by default:
I disable log in phone info and even in the hidden menu provided here but logd is always there and waster more than 10%. Is onl root my chance?

This definitely worked on 3g connection. However yesterday upgraded to 4g Sim and the logd process again shows up on the gsam stats. How can we solve this?

I've contacted Lg about it. Took 10 days for a reply and it seems I have to go through a tedious process. I was asked to try safe mode despite explaining it's not a specific app. I did it anyway and of course battery life was better because I had hardly any apps running but it was only about 10%. If I find out anything useful from LG I'll let you know but it looks like they're either unaware or don't care.

Hello everybody,
the LG Optimus G Pro just arrived in Germany a few days ago and I was a lucky one who received his device 2 days ago. Before the LG Optimus Pro I have used a Samsung Galaxy Note II a couple of month.
Yesterday, first time I noticed something which really bothers me. I have noticed an increasing battery drain when I have activated the WiFi, over the night.
Normaly the device used to have 10% over 10 hours over the night, but with activated Wifi there are over 20-30%. I don't know why it so massively drains the battery, but this is something, which I did not had with my Samsung Galaxy Note II.
Does anybody noticed the same problem? Anybody who already fixed it?
Yes I know, I can deactivate the WiFi while the device is in Standby Mode, but this is not what I want.
Thanks for you help and feedback advanced.

Root
Install BetterBatteryStatus
Wait overnight and see kernell wakelocks, copy the tops on google
Also, may deactivate syncing
Go into your Wi-Fi settings, hit your menu button and then go into advanced settings. Check for if you are set to avoid poor Wi-Fi connections and also if your Wi-Fi is set to always on. I set mine to always on only while charging and that seems to do a lot better on my battery life.

- Thanks for that tips. I will try and keep an eye on that. But I hope they are going to fix that.
Are u sure its the WiFi?
I also had this problem and for some reason i found out that by freezing quickset SDK and generally all the apps that belong to the quick remote,saves a lot of battery but REALLY A LOT
Also check the advanced settings on your wifi menu... see if something is going wrong.
Lastly check your battery health, and install battery callibration - believe it or not it fixed my battery showing wrong percentages by almost 6%.:laugh:
I have owned this phone for about 3 days, but I have some battery issues.
I attached 3 pictures, and on the first picture, you can see there appears to be no wakelocks, but on the 2nd picture, the Android OS used the vast majority of my battery life, and the 3rd picture, Android System has a lot of "Wake Up Device" (i don't know what the number means is it minutes?)..
I have uninstalled/disabled most of the apps I don't need, and have the brightness set to low, and on airplane mode with all sync off, and zenmotion turned off, and this still happens. I lost about 11% battery overnight with this problem. It seems like when I am using the device, the battery drops a percent every minute even when I am just scrolling through the Settings.
I only used about 1 hour screentime on this phone and the rest on idle.
I already installed both system updates.
Does anyone know why this happens? I know there is a memory leak problem, but I saw on another thread other people don't have that bad of a drain anymore...

Battery drain issue still not fixed with updates???
Disable PC Link and Party Link default apps, worked for me. They're default apps using cpu all the time like they're SO Android... Disable all default apps that you don't use too
I've got here two brand new models, which differ only for touch and battery version (Z2C3 01040005 1525 and ... 1526)
The 1526 doesn't show any drain. The 1525 does, as of its very first boot. I tried keeping same settings of course.
I'd like to point out that when connected and charging it shows big steps like going from 63 to 72% and it also reaches 100% in less than 60 mins.
When disconnected the discharge path exhibits about 1:15min of operation.
May I suspect the battery is defective?
PS: after a factory reset from recovery seems have fixed the problem for now at least...
Asus Zen phone 2 laser battery drain ?
I made an account with this website and took the time to write this, so I can let users who own this phone know one of the

When you tilt your phone app icon adjust to the tilt, yes looks cool until you realize how much battery you could save by leaving then static and not constantly running a fDucking tilt sensor.
hello，my zenfone ze551ml might be going to upgrade to mm 6.0， please tell me is it marshmallow stock rom camera better than 5.0？ is it 6.0 have setting sd card become internal storage？ is it 6.0 have mass big storage not just mtp when connected to pc ？
Sent from my S660 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
So after upgrading to MM, I noticed that a process called "logd" was always in the top few apps of battery hogs in GSAM Battery Monitor. Instructions on the Internet on how to fix this all don't apply to the Verizon G4, so I am sharing here how to do it in case someone else runs into it.
So first of all confirm you have the problem. When you open a terminal and run 'top -m 5', if you see a process called logd spiking up to 16% frequently every few seconds then you know you have the problem as well.
Now in order to address the issue,
1. Type ##228378 in the dialer and press call. It should bring up the hidden menu
2. Select "Log Enable"
3. Select "Disable"
4. Reboot the phone
Now the battery hogging of logd should be history. You can use the terminal method above to confirm, the frequent spikes to 16% CPU should be gone.

It will help battery life, how much exactly and if you will notice it depends on your individual usage pattern. But I have noticed a great bump in battery life since doing this tweak (and also debloating some apps). My battery life with MM is now at least as good as it was on Lolipop, while it was noticeably worse than Lolipop before.

According to this, has something to do with logcat: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/42au1r/psa_how_to_fix_60_marshmallow_logd_battery_drain/
No clue why it eats up that much CPU on the LG G4 though, that looks like a bug or bad configuration. Every few seconds it spikes up to 16% CPU for several seconds, which means it utilizes one core (probably high-performance core) 100% for that time. I have another LG tablet where this process is running too, but nowhere close in battery usage there.
Can anybody that has tried this report back whether they saw an impact on battery life?
I have been having the 'Logd' problem for some time, with terrible battery life as a result. I have tried this fix, and at first it seemed to be working. However the Logd process has returned to consuming between 20-30% of my battery life despite Disabling the Log function in the hidden menu.
Has anyone discovered any other fixes for this problem? Seems as though there are limited options for VS986 owners who experience this problem.
Thanks,
I have been having these kinds of battery graphs since very long time. Using stock oos 4.0.3 without root and have locked bootloader.
I tried cleading data of google play & service' apps and even cleared cache from recovery. Disabled the hibernation feature in battery settings and enabled doze from developer options. This made no effect. So switched back to default settings again.

Phone doesn't doze' properly. It stays awake even when am not using it and drains battery a lot. I have seen phone getting warm several times even when it's just lying. SOT is very poor considering i have not changed my usage scenario and have given a lot of time for the OS to settle properly as well..
Here's another screenshot just after i woke up. Phone was chraged upto 98% when i went to sleep and it came down to 65%

Your phone is awake most of the time. Install BBS from its thread in XDA, learn how to produce idle logs in BBS and post one in the BBS thread.
Mind you, on Nougat, there is not much option for controlling alarms/wakelocks except using Greenify and MyAndroidTools. No Xposed and so no Amplify.

Yes i have enabled the aggressive doze and about the facebook draining, i think it is not from facebook because i rarely use it and it appears rarely in battery stats.

Custom one is when in the evening i had set the custom ref. after clearing all recent tasks. Check these if get something from these. I don't see any deep sleep stats any given time

You need to get an idle dump of at least 6 hours along with screenshots of the battery and battery history page of Settings. These screenshots are not going to help anyone to analyze your issue.
install logcat and see if it spams same error message over and over.
Ever since I updated to 8.1.0 with December security patch, I've noticed my battery draining faster than normal. I was getting 4-5 hours of SOT with around 45-50% battery left. This was after being off the charger for 12-16 hours. Now I'm getting about half the SOT at similar numbers. Anyone have any ideas?

Excuse my stating the obvious, but you need to find what process or app is using the battery. You should be able to get a rough idea just using the new features under Settings>>Battery. It will identify which apps are using the most juice. Run the phone in Safe Mode to see if your battery life goes back to normal. It could also be a service like Google Play Service which sometimes wigs out and starts chewing battery. Are you rooted? If you need more detailed information there are battery drain apps available to help isolate the problem (BBS and GSam). These apps require root to give the best results.

Not rooted and currently locked. I've downloaded GSAM and have adb permissions and it simply says things like Chrome, RCS Phone and Play services. If you see from the photos below you can see what I'm talking about. Chrome currently isn't that bad, but yesterday and the past couple days it's been like 9% or more of the battery.

Two things: I've never seen phone or kernel use that much battery. On one page phone usage is 33 seconds, yet it used 9% ? I think RCS is running the background all the time. See if you can toggle it to not run in the background under Settings>>Apps>. High kernel I'm guessing is a kernel wakelock or multiple. You've probably loaded app(s) that are creating the problem, but you need to find out which one is causing the wakelocks. There is a wakelock detector "lite" app that doesn't need root but I don't know how well it works. I know the root version works well. Lastly, on the first screenshot with the battery, scroll to the bottom of the page and see which apps are listed there. I'd be willing to bet if you ran the phone in Safe Mode, your battery drain would disappear, meaning your user apps are causing it.

Well in safe mode my drain is gone so I'm not sure which app is doing it, but to directly answer your question about the RCS it is an overall app meaning it is related to several Google play services. I'll upload a photo of it. I have to reboot into normal mode.
Edit: I'm wrong about that it was the play services.. I'll have to start uninstalling the apps to determine which one is draining the battery I guess.

RCS can be a real battery hog, but I don't know why. I don't have RCS on AT&T. Do you use Messages as your primary SMS? Open Settings>>Advanced and see if you can toggle off "Enhanced Features". Open properties and check if it is using battery optimization. If it is not, set Messages to battery optimization. You can always turn these back on later if the battery drain remains.
My battery life has been restored to pretty much the same as it was with 8.0. I also noticed poor battery life after installing the 8.1 update, even though they changed the way battery life is estimated with this update (supposedly). Something just felt off, but now everything feels great! I am fairly certain what changed is installing the Greenify Magisk module and/or the Google play services doze module (this enables battery optimization on the Google play services app). Not sure which one really made the difference because I installed them at the same time. However, there is definitely a major difference!!

My battery life has been restored to pretty much the same as it was with 8.0. I also noticed poor battery life after installing the 8.1 update, even though they changed the way battery life is estimated with this update (supposedly).

In my experience that's really good.
Before 8.1 I noticed about 11% per hour during screen on use and about 0.33% per hour while on stand by in my pocket or a little bit better if it's just sitting on my night stand not moving while I'm sleeping (I think doze is more extreme in that situation) which seems to match what you are getting. Based on that screen shot I think that's like 8 hours screen on time over like 35 hours for a full charge. I've done a little bit better but not much. That's excellent battery life.
Since 8.1 it has dropped. Best now is maybe 7 to MAYBE 7.5 hours over maybe 26-28 hours. In my experience battery life always drops after an update but this case is far from the worst. I remember when my Nexus 5 updated from KitKat to Lollipop. The battery drop was awful and to make matters worse the battery life of the Nexus 5 was pretty bad to begin with.

So in my last reply I thought I was wrong about RCS Phone app being a conglomerate of several apps in the phone. For some reason I couldn't find the information I needed at that time. I wiped my phone and started over after posting this thread. I was trying to isolate the misbehaving app. I thought it might have been greenify actually, but no the drain has returned to a lesser extent though. Here's some photos of this RCS app from GSAM.

I'm not sure what is causing the drain at this point. I've installed Better Battery Stats to locate the wakelocks so I can ignore them through ADB.

Have you tried disabling RCS ? (Post #6). BBS is good for idle drain, active drain not so much. It's best run overnight without touching the phone for 8 hours or so. Pick the phone up in the morning and create/save a log file as quickly as possible. Post the log to the BBS thread if you need help deciphering.

I cannot disable it since it is comprised of multiple apps. You can see it in the pics on my last post.
