I am soon getting an LG G4, as it is one of the best phones which meet my needs. Out of all the features its noticeable that the battery life isn't that great compared to other competitors. So I was wondering if there are any good roms for the G4 which improve the battery life while also having the features of stock G4. If there are any can someone name them?
How much SOT do you need ?
I get 5 to 6 hours SOT on stock rooted lollipop. 7-8 if I disable sync, push notifications and have Wi-Fi on only when screen On.

I don't have a certain number in my mind but 8-9 hours should be good enough

You want 8-9 hours of screen on time ?
runtime is how long it lasts, sot is how long it lasts while you're actively interacting with it.
So what is your minimum sot figure ?

did you remove any apps? are you using greenify/amplify or any tweaks?
yes, I removed some LG apps, the ones that could be removed via UI, not a complete debloat. I use xposed with PowerNap and Amplify and also tasker. 3g always on and sometimes wifi (at home), location is off, screen is auto between 30 and 70% indoor

PS: I have more than 6 hours SOT on marshmallow.

It was 45 sec by default and now 30 on MM (Freedcam still offer 45 second exposure on MM ). well if you are getting 6 hrs SOT on MM then you must have magical tricks to tell us . Why don't you share ?
Well, no magic tricks, and I'm surprised reading about other people's SOT of less than 4 hours. Phone is stock. Only things I can say is I have auto brightness, logd disabled, and this 6 hours SOT is mostly Internet browsing, email, tapatalk (so no games).
The new marshmallow builds (with the may security patch) are really good battery wise. I also get a really high sot

i get 4 hours .. using videos. facebook app and whats app, no games... LP rooted and many services disabled.. can you take screenshot of battery and apps that are running.?
the battery on my nexus 5x is very poor. battery saving apps do not help, neither does a custom kernel and using powersave mode, etc (that only made performance worse, no improved battery life). I'm always worried about my phone dying when out and about, even if i don't use it much (and sometimes i really need it!). any suggestions?

There's nothing that will dramatically increase the battery for you on this phone. If your achieve poor battery statistics with the stock rom, it's time to move on. Get a new phone.

First things first. What do you consider poor battery life and what good battery life?
I noticed that my nexus's battery life got worse. I bought it 2 months ago, on chroma + franco kernel i was receiving about 5h SoT, currently on stock /N/ latest chroma + franco i get max 2,5h....
What to do guys? What may be the cause of it?

Disable Google and it's hot word, disable Google now. Install Greenify and greenify only Chrome and enabling auto hibernation, while using the donation pack and use Aggressive Doze feature, as well as the disable sensors while moving feature.
Disable Bluetooth and wireless scanning!
I got the same setup as you and I got from 2.5 hours SOT to 4:30+...

Why was your phone constantly awake while the screen was off? Wakelocks, my friend. ...Unless you listened to music for 14 hours straight.

You probably have "Wi-Fi scanning" activated in the scanning options within the location settings (in the three dot menu). I'm not sure if it actually has a big impact in battery life, but I usually disable it, because, as far as I know, as long as I enable Wi-Fi, it will still use it to improve location.

Yes I looked at it too, I downloaded when i caught WiFi connection wakelock detector, and here results:
Screen wakelock (camera, because double power to run, So thats not weird)
And cpu wakelocks
Music was only about 2-3 A.M, later about 3-4 hours, but thats not on battery usage, but on wakelock detector already is noticed
P.S WiFi scanning in 3dot menu i had turned off, but it still on battery usage is as on, but took not so much battery (13 mAh) so I would keep it away
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA-Developers mobile app
i also had massive wakelocks, seems like apps like facebook and viber has wifi modes that override the phone ones.
for viber its in general settings of the app, while i have deleted pos facebook and use chrome notifications for it. if you use the non mobile site you can receive/reply just fine without messenger

I am using a stock firmware (3.2.8) not rooted, bootloader unlocked, i get max of 3 hrs 50 mins of SOT.
have replaced the battery from an authorized service center. nothing helps.
my usage: -
mostly single sim activated.
always connected to 3g or 4g or on wifi
3 mail accounts synced (only for mails, contacts, and other stuff are unchecked)
GPS off, only when needed
not many apps installed
a bit of game (max 30 mins)
if its normal kindly let me know, coz m really confused how come people are able to achieve 6hrs of SOT.
Depends usage, franco kernal and ghost pepper cpu tweak made a good diffrence for me.

If your bootloader unlocked why not root? If you really want the best battery life then like I do I'd suggest stock based rom, root and xposed then install greenify and amplify.. both of those will control apps and wakelocks to reduce battery use and I always have positive results from that combination.
Edit - I get 5-6 hours sot

So I bought this phon about 3 weeks ago.
One of the primary reasons was the battery life since I'm not usually near a power supply.
But I've been struggling to get past 5 hours of screen on time on light to medium use.
Standby time is great though. No battery drain, but the moment I start using it, it starts tanking and like 1% every 3mins or so. I struggle to get a full day of use.
I'm running the May uodate, I updated while it was new so I don't know the performance before the update.
I've already reset once and wiped cache. Even in safe mode battery is still weak.
I need help fixing this.

It's decent 3G. Usually 3 bars when I'm at home, 4G at work but I use wi-fi there.
I wake up around 5am and by the time I leave at around 7 I'll be at around 80%. After just reading articles and scheming through social media

I have now after 9 hours where I played the last 2,5 hours music and now 55%. Screen on time is 2 hours
yes battery life is not good for 4000 mah .for exemple redmi note 7 with same 4000 mah get way more battery life than a50 . for me i get 7 to 8 hours sot mixed wifi and 3g in one day ( 18 hours to be exact) .it drain 10 % in 9 hours when screen off .samsung need to improve battery life in future updates
Here's a quick tip
Samsung devices tend to drain a lot of battery because of app background usage
try to put apps to sleep ( apps that you need them only when you open them)
Also activate medium power saving if you need more battery
With normal use am getting around 9-10 and sometimes 11 SOT
With games and heavy use i get 6-7 SOT
all of this without any power saving option .
I debloted and now getting almost 9 hours of sot on normal usage on 4g always and dual sim on.. I mainly use for watching videos on youtube. Chatting telegram and whatsapp and calls 1 hour per day

How was the battery life before debloat. My phone didn't come with that much bloatware. It's not the Indian version and still on May update and there's virtually no stand by drain. Battery is significantly worse when using 3G

Battery life has taken a hit with this update. You know how I know? It's because I have Accubattery history of my usage as well as GSAM screen shots to compare it with. SOT seems to be similar but standy times are now greatly reduced. It was like this on beta also.
