So I bought an LG g4 yesterday and it should arrive here shortly - the price is good now and in my budget and my S4 was old and everything.
I hope I made the right choice but I'm terrified about the poor battery life reports I seem to find everywhere, specially since I will have to keep the brightness quite high or I can't see anything
I've always rooted my S2 and S4 so I think I will root the G4 as well.
But all the reports I read say that with MM the battery got even worse. I was excited to try MM and Doze
My question is: those who have MM and have already rooted the G4, are you also experiencing poor battery life? Or it's only those who haven't rooted?
I use an app on the S4 which I kinda like (Purify) and it does save me a lot of battery, and Greenify to block most system apps, plus it's debloated etc.. so you need root to do all this.
I'm torn between rooting Lollipop and ditching MM update, or rooting MM..
Those of you who have rooted MM and use Doze + Greenify + other eventual tweaks, how is the battery life? (I will be doing some gaming but nothing too intensive and not for long time anyway, just the time to finish the energy in your typical energy recharging games).
Eventually if it's that bad I might consider a brick of 6000mah extended battery.. Already have a 5600 on the S4 so I'm kinda used to it even if it looks bad
I have MM on my G4, sometimes i do 4 /5h on SOT and other times i do 3 or 3 and a half hours on SOT, it depends, if im using 3g, playing games... i only can get 5h with watching movies (i do it on the way to work 2h to work, 2h to home).
But, i have already bought a 6500mah battery, just waiting to came
PS: i dont have root
PS 2: if the movies are in .mkv the battery goes really fast lololol

Hehe
Phone arrived and it turns out I don't have a choice, it already has MM.
So I'll root it anyway and see what will happen hopefully I don't break it the first day of purchase
have you rooted already your G4 ?

Congratulations to your new phone. I got mine two days ago and I am in the same situation. My phone runs with MM (Android Marshmallow 6.0 stock rom).
Please let us know your result and the problems of rooting the h815.
Greetings,
Ponder
I haven't rooted it yet in the end.
I find it has great standby life thanks to Doze probably. However the battery drains quite fast when the screen is on (and by fast I mean 1% every 2 minutes! which is a bit too much). Everything is disabled and I've tried all the possible tricks I've found here and there. There's nothing to do I think, the screen seems to be the most power hungry thing on.
I've ordered an MPJ 6000mah battery but it needs to come from China so it will be 15-30 days. Sure it will make the phone big but I don't care much as I'm used to my old 5600mah galaxy s4 battery, and being a girl I carry it in my purse anyway, not in the pocket.
If the battery is good I think I won't need root cause tbh there aren't that many things to disable and I'd rather keep it stock so in case MM gets better updates I can jump on them immediately without having to reflash everything or remove root etc...
If when the battery gets here I see the situation is still so-so I'll consider rooting again.
Thing is I'd like to root at a stable version of MM and I'm not sure 6.0 is that version. ;P Plus maybe it will get 6.0.1 soon (even though from what I've read it's even worse )
Apart from this little (?) issue I love the phone, screen is great even not being AMOLED, and camera is great!
By the way this are some of the screens I've taken if someone is interested.. sometimes it has decent SOT like the day I achieved 4h, and sometimes not so great.
At times phone radio is a bit high and at times it's not..
Anyway it's been about 10 days so I dunno if the battery needs to stabilize more or not.

Just curious, did you get the 811 (t-mobile US) or 815 (EU International) version? Those are the only two that can be rooted with MM since all others are locked down.

I have a pretty hard decision to make and I would really like to hear your opinion. I have a chance to extend my contract and replace my Galaxy S i9000 with the One X, but I'm not entirely sure if that's a good idea. First I'd like to state that I love the size of both the device and the screen. Now I don't really know how the battery is gonna do for me. I usually listen to music on my earphones for about 2 - 3 hours a day and I don't use any kind of data connection, just Wifi. Do you think it will get me through about 13 hours? Now I've read about the screen flickering issues and that part concerns me a lot. I understand that HTC released some updates. Did those updates completely remove the flickering problem? And I have one more question. How hot does the device get when you push the Tegra 3 to its limits? I would really appreciate any kind of feedback from you, the One X users and please let me know if there are some other problems that I didn't mention (I don't count the rainbow effect as a problem, since I won't be trying to crush my device). Thank you
13 hours sounds like a lot, but turning off wifi when you don't use it and the carrier data connection would save battery. there's only 1 other phone to pick from for Android and it's not out until about June, so if you can't buy at full price and go month to month and you don't want to wait until June - then get this one. there are also a bunch of threads about all of this. i would hate to have to mod this section.
i'm getting mine next week, but i'm paying full price because i'm on contract from the GS II until Oct 2013. after that, i'm switching to Red Pocket or something like that.
I know, I read all about the problems but I would just like some opinions on the worth of the device and how it does on a day to day use. I really don't want to spend so much on a device and then be sorry for that decision for 2 years. I have to have my decision ready by Monday and the opinions from you guys would help me a whole lot. I read literally dozens of reviews but that's just the first look, I need some information about the daily usage.
I reach 13 hours with 2.5hrs screen time on a daily basis

1day and 14hrs with 3hrs screen on time and that is with wifi on all the time...go for the phone mate. or wait till the s3 gets released and then make your decision. both great phones and great in their own rights....build quality of my phone no issues..minor software bugs but waiting for the update to come so it should sort it
So you guys are satisfied with the phone and it's the best phone on the market now, right? I guess I'll buy it on Monday then. Thank you very much for helping me with this decision
Get one infact if u can afford them get 2

Sorry for coming in late, but I would also highly recommend this phone. Battery has been running now for 1 day and 4 hours without a charge. I haven't used the phone a great deal in the last 28 hours, however WiFi and Bluetooth have been enabled throughout.
Battery showing 60% charge.
It's a great phone!
+1 for the One X. I listen to music from the phone easily 3-4 hours a day, half of which is in the car. I noticed that if I turn the wifi off when I'm out and about, the phone can last a damn long time playing music. I haven't tested exact usage, but from memory, a forty minute drive used about 1% of battery or so.
Also, I have no hardware issues at all. Absolutely perfect phone. Only time when the battery really drops fast is if you are using it heavily with say a game, or internet with brightness set above 65% or so
Thank you guys, you have been really helpful. I just wasn't sure about the overall quality of the device and how bad those "problems" are, but you made it clear that the One X is worth the money

With constant music?
Anyhow, the Tegra 3 is supposed to have the support core which may improve battery life significantly when the screen is off (even if listening to music?)
Maybe I can try some tests!
I only just got mine.
Then there's always SetCPU (and it's profile functionality).

Here's a screen shot of mine 3G streaming a couple of hours of Rhapsody over BT today with not much display on-time. From my experience, Wi-Fi drains the battery less than 3G. The display is the big battery eater so for music with the display off you should make your 13 hour goal.

I say yes! go for it!
My batt is now in 51% and has been used for 13 hrs with screen on 1.40hrs
I have no issues with screen or anything else.
Can't complain about battery life but my use has been light so far.
That's why I love the XDA community, it's always ready to help Thank you once again and wish me luck in getting a problem-free One X
Had this phone for a week now and it's a perfect device. No issues at all, build quality is awesome, software could be a bit more tuned and optimized, but really, this is the best smartphone on the market at the moment. I'd give it 9/10. Sretno

Worst fears realised.
The Kit Kat update has delivered drastically worse battery life.
Could often work with 10% per 45 min - 1 hr screen time before on WIFI, that has now gone out of the window.
1 hr 44 min screen time with 68% left now.
That is quite a bit worse I would say.
Anyone else feel the same?
I would rollback, but the camera improvements are just so much better.

I had about 5 hr screen time and almost 2 days of usage. I am using stamina and greenify though since I don't need emails and notifications pushed, I just manually refresh it.
Nope, I just managed 7.5 hours OST on my last charge on WiFi without Stamina Mode, so quite a bit better for me than JB where 5/6 was more usual. Standby power is also noticeably better, averaging ~0.4%/h.
Sadly the KitKat changes make most battery stat apps useless without root now, or I'd suggest you run one to see what's up on your end.

Cant find anything that stands out. Going to drain and do a charge from fresh.
Did anyone try to calibrate the battery after flashing?
Calibrating battery gives exact battery reading.
There is no real calibration in android and for everybody pls alow 3-4 full charges before reporting your battery life on kitkat(same when flashing new kernel)
same here.
Done full drain but no change. moreover the phone gets heated quickly..

This is obviously a sign of some rogue process running intensively (compare performance after booting in safe mode to confirm). You should be able to figure out pretty easily which it is from the basic battery stats page, sadly no partial wakeleock listings anymore on non-rooted phones though.

I have done factory reset>>installed 4.4.2 via PC companion>>full factory reset incl internal storage.. heating problem is somewhat solved.
But it gets heated up when connected to charger..which on JB doesn't happened!! strange..
Draining seems to be normal but takes too much time to charge..
I got a great battery life on kitkat.

May I ask why you suspect a drain, like how long does it last and also what's wrong with the built-in bat-stat?
My biggest recommendation is to avoid DL'n every single app and keep it to a minimum.
Mine last roughly 2days with a screen time of 3-4h without charging (was away a weekend recently and took my chances and left the charger at home, used the camera alot incl. 4k shooting and alot of music videos playing and made all the way home with 1 percent )
Best phone in terms of battery I've come across yet.
on the stock rom and kernel?
Hello, what's your android version and firmware build number? I would like to use it because i'm on 4.4.4 build 14.4.A.0.108 and I'm experiencing fast battery drain.

Changing ROM will not help in most cases if you won't discover what is eating battery.
I am on the same above ROM and kernel and I don't complain.
Term 'fast' is not much precise, either.
BTW:
1.3%/h is pretty reasonable if phone was in use from time to time.
Base rule with BBS is to check batery over night, when it is not used at all.
Under those circumstances you should see 0.1-03%/h and that is completely fine.

As always - check that all automatic synchronizations are off.
google, pictures, facebook, whatsapp.
Hope you don't use WiFi all the time, nor you scan for available networks.
BetterBatteryStats is really helpful, read corresponging thread.

i dont think using wifi and auto sync will drain my battery from 60% to 6% in just a second. Anyway, i ordered a replacement battery from witrigs. Hope this fixes my problem. Ive tried factory resets and repair through pc companion. still no improvement. Turning stamina mode improves my battery. It no longer drops 50% in a second, just 10%. Still way too low compared to my excellent battery life with kitkat. Before lollipop, i charge my phone every 2 days with heavy use. Now, i need to charge it twice a day with moderate use.

If so - I'd come back to KK before replacing battery, if for no other reason then to prove LP is guilty.
BTW:
Long ago I decided not to upgrade to LP.
Looks like evey step ahead is in real life step back.
Everything is more complicated, wants more maintenance, yet works worse than old simple tools.

And removed alot of bloatware and sony apps I don't need.
Hello guys,
I came across many topics about battery drain on the G3. I am using the international 16GB version of the phone with a software version of 5.0. I get the same battery drain as everyone is complaining about. Its just intolerable. Still even going through every topic on xda, I dont seem to find a solution. Today i am leaving my country for 4 months and wont have time to deal with getting a replacement, so i really hope it can be from the software. I tried everything like factory resets, all battery tips like switching off location and sync.... Believe me everything. Some says it can be kernel wake, but I really dont know what to believe. It starts to become a major issue for this phone and more people are getting that problem. Please if someone has a possible solution that would be great!
Try doing factory reset and not installing any apps for 2 days and then see the battery life.
It might be some app you always install and probably use.
I am currently flashing a stock lollipop all over again, thanks to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089..... Gonna report on the result ))
Awkwardly, today i am getting that type of battery usage with the v20a version of lolipop, i suppose probably its bugged.

I have installed chupachups modified stock rom based on lollipop version 20E and also chupachups custom stock kernel and i am experiencing better battery life, but im not sure how much better than being on Kitkat, for your own testing, downgrade to kitkat and do not upgrade to lollipop, see what your battery life is like? or try a stock custom rom and kernel like me.
Yeah i might get back to kitkat but all my backup wont be able to restore on a different version.
I'm going to quote part of Ironass Lollipop Update Problems - Dummies Guide
#1.6 Battery re-calibration
Sometimes, after receiving an update, users complain that their battery is being eaten up. This is quite common as the update can affect the battery chip in the phone, causing it to give unreliable readings. These readings usually self correct over a number of charge cycles however, you can re-calibrate your battery by downloading, free from the Play Store, Battery Calibration and following the simple instructions in the app. This should not be used on a regular basis as the battery should never be fully discharged normally.
After upgrading to 20f, I had massive battery drain on my 855 so I recalibrated the battery . I can say that it helped me a lot.
This sounds good man, but the problem is that i am on lollipop and i am not rooted. So basically i am not able to use that program. Are you rooted on 5.0 ?
I'm not rooted. I'm using lollipop 20f stock. I resetted my phone twice after upgrading. By the way, I upgraded flashing a kdz not an OTA.
here you can find the apk :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dc.batterycalibrationpro
Yeap, I did the same thing and updated by flashing a kdz file, so i believe than this erases everything on your phone and its not like factory reset, which leaves some data. Battery calibration means that it will delete a system file, but if you flash a kdz this is already done, its not like flashing a custom rom. Weird things are happening to my phone .....Starting to regret that i bought it. Just loosing my time to fix sth, which is not my responsibility, instead of enjoying my device. : ( Sad life
On a side note, do you remember what were you getting as a battery life before calibration and what you get now after calibration ?
after calibration : my screen is set at 65%. just a daily moderated use.
before calibration android Os and android system used above 30 percent of the battery.
But whats your sot time and total time on battery before and after ?
after calibrating:
I have no screenshots before calibration.
Thats some really nice stats...but can you remember what was your sot at lets say 50 percent or when you reach 10 5 percent....
I only remember that my battery drained at a rate of 10% in 3 or 4 minutes. To stop this I would stop manually some apks , like android system or android Os. Doing this helped me a bit until I read about calibrating the battery.
I dont use much my cell. Some calls, checking email, music , YouTube, texting , Facebook, reading the news. No games, no taking pics or shooting videos.
Well, thats look to me like e moderate use )
P.S I did the calibration, hopefully will solve something , cause right now i get a sot of 2 and 30 minutes to a full discharge and i cant stand this anymore.
You can downgrade to kitkat and wait till lollipop gets free bugs.
Good luck.

Did this just start for you?
I've owned my watch for years, and last week suddenly started having issues. I can't help but wonder if there was a software change that is causing excessive drain.

Not really no.
I've not got any software update over a year I think.
The watch was off for a while, about a month.
But since then it's got really bad.
I've faced similar issues with android phones, where wiping the battery stats makes the battery life as good as stock. If there is a way to achieve this it would be the ideal solution.
Get your battery replaced. I did mine and now Im getting full day outof it compared to half day before.

Did you go to the service centre?
or purchased the battery online and fitted it from outside?
if you did purchase online a link would be helpful
I did get this battery some time ago on ebay. Im in uk. It wasnt genuine battery but VHBW brand which for my experience is reliable.
Replaced it by myself. There is some guide on the web for doing it. Hardest thing is to get back cover without breaking it. I actually broken my one being carefull, its so fragile.
after another phone side android wear update my battery life is back to normal. Off the charger at 7 AM, and at 7 PM I still have 40% left in the tank.

yes, now on 2.7.0.177669439
I've had these issues for about a year now. No updates have made a difference for me. It's not that my battery depletes quickly though, it's that the watch powers off with plenty of battery left and doesn't come back on until charged, usually at the 50-60% mark.
It's nearly 2pm here, been off the charger since maybe 8am, still at 69% battery but I bet it'll be gone in an hour or so.
Is it possible to get a custom ROM for these in case it's a software issue?
UPDATE: couple of minutes later, at 67% it has died.....

use this guide! Its so easy to replace the battery!
I also replaced my battery but I used this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1as_h5jnBM he explains very well and some steps explained poorly in the ifixit guide are shown here detailed. The hardest part is removing the backcover without cracking it. I failed and cracked mine but battery is perfectly fine now, for the cracked backcover there are some replacements for about 20€. However I own a 3D printer and will print me a new backcover by myself, I hope it will be fine, i will provide some pictures at the end of the week just in case someone is interested
Battery is dead

Than try to replace it, if it's already dead you have nothing to lose except the 9€ you have to invest in a new battery
