You can either spend time troubleshooting or do a factory reset. Gradually add back your apps and tweaks one at a time noting the impact on your battery.

I recently went 36 hours on a single charge with my typical usage. Streaming Youtube, playing music through GP Music, facebook, twitter, instagram. Then add in emails, phone calls and texts.

Yeah 3000 mah battery sucks! In all seriousness you might need to turn auto brightness on or you have apps running in the background.

Not sure if this was a question or statement.. If your not rooted, root it immediately, then remove whatever bloat you have. I would also greenify everything, and that should give you much better battery life. I went from stock rooted barely getting 3 hours, to almost 6 hours after I rooted.

Try out lux for your screen auto dimming and juice defender or green power to help out.

Battery is comparable with Note 3 if you managed to disable sync when not in use. Mine can usually last one day without changing battery.

You need to do some research and understand what you can do. I have gone as long as 70hrs on a charge.

I don't buy three days almost. Was the phone sitting in a drawer on WiFi? Did you ever use it? I get an average of 15 hours at 50% brightness with mixed usage. YouTube, Netflix, gmail syncing, SMS, calls, a few games mixed in. I average around four hours screen time. I just can't see 70 hours of usage.

I had 3.5 hrs of screen time and like I said that is my record for battery life.....no synching, no wifi notifications...... I typically average over 24 hrs on battery.easily. I'm rooted, running zonerom. People that get 8hrs or less don't have their phone set up right. Plenty of info in XDA how to maximize battery time.

Itchy. Tasty.
I just had to, sorry.

I wouldn't say battery life sucks but it is definitely not what I expected. It lasts me all day without boosting, but I can't go without charging overnight, unlike my OPO. I charge my OPO every other day. The G3 must be charged every night. Not a big deal, because I am used to charging my phone every night while I sleep. But considering the G3 and OPO are essentially the same phone except for the 1440p display, that shows what the G3 battery life could have been if LG had gone with 1080p.

Battery sucks doesn't really present much of a platform for helping you. I get all day usage from my phone on a single charge over night, that's all I ask from a phone. Screen time will vary from just shy of 4hrs to my best of 6hrs. I have 2 email that sync, web browsing, bt all day with my gear, calling and texting with minimal gps usage and turn on and off gps and Wi-Fi as I need.
Post some screen shots and let us know your usage habits, are you stock or have you rooted, what apps you use frequently and what you are doing to conserve battery life. With that information perhaps we could help out some. I will also second greenify. It does help.

Battery at 2.5 SOT?

Hey everybody, as my first forum I just purchased a Nexus 5x. I came from an iPhone 6s, and I'm monitoring my SOT. my battery has gone through 3 cycles or so and it's always dying at 2 hours or so of screen time. Can never get over 3 hours. Is this normal? I purchased it used, so is the battery damaged? Or will properly charging it for some tine bring my batteries health back up and make it last longer?
Im currently at 11%, and I have 2 hrs 17 minutes of SOT of normal usage no games, noyoutube, just social networking and photos . I FEEL like its too low. What do you guys think?

I have a Pebble too and it does contribute to battery usage especially if you're receiving lots of notifications like text.

i had been getting only 1.5-2.5 SoT but yesterday I somehow achieved 4h, which is the best I've ever gotten.
This may be related to the fact that it was the weekend (so I had better reception than at work), but still was way more than recently.
that being said, my idle drain is still less than ideal, at 3-4%/hr, and the phone only lasted from 6AM to 8PM

Battery life

Anyone have feedback on SOT?

Anecdotally, about 3 hours SOT. But my signal isn't great, and I'm a moderate user.

I'll post some screen shots later. But it's above average battery life. 3 hrs SOT usually. Using it with LTE and no Google now service. Lasts around 16 hrs.

Here is the usage. Not that great but manageable.

Actually, I'm getting a pretty awesome SoT: 6 hours, with light-moderate usage (mostly reddit and G+, some Youtube, Hangouts and Chrome). Auto brightness is on, sync is on, 3G on (although I'm on wifi) and NFC is on.
Mind you, I don't use any crappy battery-draining apps like WhatsApp/Facebook/Snapchat/Viber.

So...6 hours SoT but your screenshot shows just over 3?

He has half battery left

Battery seems to be sliding more quickly here. Time will tell.
Looking forward to getting some custom kernel love on this device tbh.
UPDATE: I'd call myself a moderate user as I don't really game much.
I'm getting pretty horrendous battery life. Looking at it dropping a percent near every couple of minutes, maybe less, of use. I left work at 16:00 and I've dropped from 50% battery (minimal use from 06:20 this morning), to 24% while I type.
That's just not acceptable. I'm looking at getting barely 3.5hrs SOT at this rate.
I thought it would settle but it hasn't. I've got Greenify pro and even hibernated Facebook and Messenger but I'm not seeing too much of a difference.
Phone also appears to get hot with certain task very very easily. Particularly when browsing. Might try a different browser, but if the problem, this is therefore only a workaround.

The Robin is my wife's phone. She charges it each morning before work and after 24 hours usually is down to around 35-40% and will have at least 2.5 hours of SOT.
She uses Wi-Fi at home, and I think all of her SoT is in chrome. She uses Gnow and has location set to high accuracy.
This morning she didn't charge it and was at 62% but I didn't check her usage stats. Tonight she'll be at 36+ hours off the charger and I'll check it then.

Yesterday was an incredible day for battery. Hit a magical 5 hours of SOT. Normal usage, but I am a light to moderate user.

Please define light to moderate user if you can? I have emails, Gmail, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc all syncing and use mainly chrome, YouTube and the above apps..I'm seeing close to 3 hours SoT with GPS Bluetooth and wifi always on.

@Wiggz - I use Messenger, Facebook, Bacon Reader, Twitter, Inbox, and Chrome most of the day. I have GPS off since I don't really use Maps too often and brightness was at about 50-55%. I also don't have a BT device, so BT is off as well.

Just wanted to see if anyone else has more feedback

I haven't used it for much more than GPS driving. An hour and a half with screen constantly on used up about 16% of the battery, indicating slightly over 9 hours.

3hrs SoT isn't better than average, 4hrs is average.

So no one is getting good battery life? 4 hours screen on is AVERAGE. You should get that with LTE enabled and using twitter, reddit, youtube, etc.

If you are going to use Facebook and the Messenger app you will never have decent enough battery life on any phone. Those are some of the worst apps developer could have made and consume A LOT of battery in background. If you remove those two apps I can almost guarantee that your battery life will be improved by 20-25%.

One of the better SOT phones I've owned since coming from smaller 4.5 inch screens. I easily get 4 hours on a long day (16 -18 hours off the charger). I watched 2.5 hour movie the other day and did some more stuff. In 8 hours, I had over 5 hours of SOT with 47% battery left.

I don't like gsam because it doesn't read the SOT from the system. It records it's own stats.

GSam battery monitor allows you to see the stock android battery stats and screen on time from there by going to the menu on the bottom right, clicking more and then Battery Use - Built In. If there is an easier way to get to stock android battery stats, I'd love to know.

What settings do you guys have setup? My battery is down to 27% after only 8.5 hours off the charger and not much video watching. How do you have your phone setup concerning gestures and everything? I use the fingerprint unlock and the double tap feature and so far I am not impressed with the battery.

Nothing special, really? It's basically stock, I just disabled some stock apps: Browser, calendar, stock email, Gmail, Hangouts, and stock messaging. Everything else is left alone.... I even installed the actual Facebook app (aka: battery eater) for the first time in a few years, since my battery can keep up now.

No screen on time. I am in an area where I get no service and was using WiFi, so today I turned on Airplane mode and then WiFi and it seems to work a lot better. though I still need to investigate is battery drain is bad when using the phone in normal service area.

This is the best phone I've owned in terms of battery life. With nova launcher and using nova's battery widget I can see my SOT. I average 5:30 which is alot for me. I have gotten as much as 6:40! This is all usually over 12-28 hrs. The phone is just phenomenal, just wish the camera was better.

I would believe it. I got about 5 hours in my last run. What I think ate up about 20% was listening to music through the speakers.. The phone drained faster than normal Witt the speakers on at max volume.. Which makes sense and is 5000% tolerable because how amazing they sound.
Furthermore, if I could get some stronger cell phone signal, that would help with screen on time too. I never have no signal, but I never see over two bars of signal either.

Sorry about double post.. Forgot to include second one..

Ok, I thought this was a battery beast but I think I was wrong. I don't expect any phone's battery indicator to be totally accurate but I've noticed that if I top the A7 up a little the battery doesn't drain *at all* for a long time. I've been letting it go down to 30% then topping it up to 40% where it stays without moving even while I'm streaming music and surfing for half an hour. Fishy.
I thought that as I was on about 3:30 sot at 40% I'd let it go down further to see if it would reach 5 hours. Three charging cycles in a row the phone has hit 19% and then reported that it's empty and shut down.
EU model build B03.

Amazing battery life on the s8+

Battery life has been a bit inconsistent. Usually I get around 4 or 5 hours screen on time, though honestly my habit with all my phone Shas been to charge them whenever possible. If I'm driving, I set it on the mount and plug it in. If I'm at home or work and not using it, I plug it in (or in this case set it on the wireless charger). But I was fairly unimpressed with the S8+ battery life.
Yesterday and today, I turned on the medium battery power setting. It seems to have increased my screen on time dramatically, but I'm also at home and on wifi.
Medium decreases screen brightness by 10%, sets resolution to FHD+, underclocks by 30%, and turns off the AOD. Of these, the only thing I miss is the AOD, but it also seems to make the most difference in battery life.
Either way, my battery life today is much better. So far I've had almost five and a half hours of screen on time and 54% battery remaining. That's all surfing the internet, posting here, texting my wife, taking a few photos, and a little Facebook. I'd say that is fairly impressive.
I'll see how the battery holds out Monday when I'm away from wifi, driving through varying cell tower coverage areas. I'll also check how it is if I turn the AOD back on. I do like the AOD.

Really good for a stock rom

Bat Rom & Noto.
Could of got to 10hrs but was playing with themes which require reboots.
