hi all, this is the first time i come here
I am using LG Optimus G, i have tried many rom(event stock) for my phone, but in standby mode my phone drain 2%-3%/1h.
When i set Screen 100%, listening music via 3G and use camera(with flash on), my phone lose 85% baterry energy for 2h 30minutes, so i think my battery phone was fine.
I have tried many ways to improve batterry life, but nothing change.
I also use Greenify and Titanium to freeze some app and service, but the problem still come
Please give me some suggestion, thank you :fingers-crossed:
I also tested in "Airplane mode", my phone still drain 2%/1h
Opening another thread with same issue will not get you a faster response,on the contrary,will get you a report. It's forbiden,haven't read the rules?i told you on the other thread what you should do. I don't like repeating things.

Does someone know if the CyanongenMod is working for our G3? And if it will take long? I really need Custom Rom like it, I've tried v10h, v10i, v10L...and I never got even 4 hours SOT in my G3, brightness 50% , no bluetooth, no nfc, no nothing, I've tried with root and greenify, just stock and no succeed, I see the % of tasks and everything looks ok.
Some pics of yesterday of my first charging with V10L i used Wi Fi 75% of time.
You must have some sort of wakelock. Check out wakelock detector i playstore and se ir there is a app that cause wakelock.
yeah, that battery drain is not normal. Maybe faulty battery?

Fast Dormancy dosen't work in Brasil, and this can be a battery consumer !!
I have a SM-T800 on CM12.1 that averages a current drain of around 60 mA during deep sleep. I also have a OnePlus One that averages around 9 mA during deep sleep.
I'm using Battery Monitor Widget Pro with the "Android mA" setting to get my readings on the SM-T800.
Obviously, there's quite a difference there. The SM-T800 draws almost 7x as much current while it's doing nothing - no screen on time.
It makes me think that there must be something I can do to reduce the current drain, especially with a rooted device. But, I haven't been able to figure out what.
Has anyone been successful getting their battery drain lower? If "yes", what have you done?
Thanks,.

Did you forget the thread you made 2 weeks ago.

Yeah, @Tinderbox (UK), but since the title was messed up I didn't think folks were looking/responding/searching to the older thread.
I think this is still something we can all benefit from, if someone has figured out a way to get our power consumption down. And if someone does respond back to this thread, other folks will be able to find it when they search now.
I use Euphoria OS and debloat it, that gives me a few weeks of standby if it's just sitting on a shelf. Ensure you delete Trebuchet (replace with Nova/Apex/etc) as it sucks a huge amount of CPU power when idle.
If you can run without GApps you'll maximize the savings.
As i said last time my T800 only used 1-2% in 16hours what ma does that work out too, the battery is 7900mah
7900mah/100 =79/16*2=9.8mah
Every time you install an app, it can make an huge difference, if it stops your tablet from sleeping.
You need to check your wakelocks to see which apps are keeping your tablet from going into deep sleep, auto check for emails, sync, alarms will cause your tablet to come out of deep sleep.
John
Thanks, @Tinderbox (UK).
As a test, I decided to wipe out my current installation, and just load the latest Nvertigo SM-T800 ROM and the very minimal nano Open GApps. I had to load a few minor things beyond that to get functional (KeePass Droid, Opera, MyBackup Pro, Wakelock Detector). I disabled all Google account sync items.
I disabled Trebuchet wake-ups, and set autostart off (Thanks, @fraser.dk)
I'm still seeing about 1% drop every 4-5 hours.
Nothing stood out from Wakelock detector. After 24 hours of the tablet sitting idle, the wakelocks were all less than 30 each.
Are you running a specific ROM or Kernel?
I am on the Stock UK v4.4.2 kitkat rom, I have never flashed though i am rooted.
If you are rooted, try the app in the link below, it link to XDA and you can download a version of cpu spy reloaded, it works great at spotting wakelocks it`s the only wakelock detector i use now.
I am running an Sony App that is supposed to stop all wakelocks, it`s in standby mode, you can whitelist apps if you like, I am not certain if it`s doing anything at the moment, you need root and exposed installed.
http://www.xda-developers.com/optimize-battery-life-with-this-useful-app/
A 1% drop over 5-6 hours is not bad.
John.
So i have an result on the Sony Battery App, I put my Tab S into sleep mode at approx 12:30AM it was at 69% , I woke it up at 6:50pm, it was still on 69% after 17hrs.
Click the link below, to see an screenshot of GSam Battery Monitor.

for me i have downgraded back to stock kitkat 4.4.2, debloated, rooted and xposed installed, and use powernap, i can use the tablet all day and still have between 45% - 60% battery left depends on if i am playing games or not... i have tried so many apps and custom roms in lolipop and none of them have good battery life....
PowerNap which is the Sony app i use, only reduce battery drain in sleep mode, by stopping all wakelocks, it does not reduce the power that games or other high drain app require, so how does you battery last longer, how much power were you loosing overnight when you tablet should have been sleeping it must have been immense.

on kitkat i had no major battery drain, i just like having powernap on my device... on LP like i say even just using the tab battery would drain like 1% every min... just doing typical web use... i have tried everything to get good battery life on LP but nothing works for me at least.. but with KK i have no issues...
A lot of people say they have had no problems with lollipop, but there is an significant number that have reported problems after upgrading, I decided to stick with kitkat and await android m.
1% a minute just browsing that`s bad.

I think I'll try going back to KitKat, and see how things go.
I have been frustrated on how fast the battery drains when doing minimal tasks, like reading an ebook (about 1% drain a minute).

I installed the Canadian stock KK ROM (T800XXU1ANJ6_T800XAC1ANI1_HOME.tar.md5) onto my US SM-T800, and it's boot-looping.
I thought I should be able to load the Canadian version without any problem.
Is there a way to turn the tablet off when it is bootlooping? I don't want the battery to drain while I'm downloading another ROM.
Try this to stop boot loop.

Out of the bootloop now, and setting up KK.
What do you do to prevent OTA updates? I have TWRP installed via the All-in-One Auto Root.
If you are rooted you will not get ota updates, if you are not freeze the updater an tab s owner did that with an app called "package disabler" it works without root but the free version keeps being removed from google play store, the full version is £2 (£1.50) just reduce.

@Tinderbox (UK) WHAT KITKAT ROM YOU ARE USING ????
stock UK kitkat rom v4.4.2, Lollipop has been out for my T800 10.5" for an couple of months, but it is full of bugs, and quite a few people have went back to kitkat.
Kitkat has been solid for me, I ran it for 164 days continually, I never rebooted or shutdown in that whole time, no problem at all.

Hi guys,
I have updated my phone via LG flashtool, i did a full wipe, and installed a totally stock Marshmallow.
I have used Fulmics ROM based on Lolli.
I feel like the phone's battery doesn't last longer, maybe even worse but maybe it should need more time with that ROM.
I watched a 10 min youtube video and the phone got really hot, unlike on 5.0.
Is that normal, should I wait (second or third time i charhed since the update), or should i look for another kernel maybe?
I rooted and have twrp, should i remove some apps? Already killed Mcafee.
Despite that the phone is fast.
Thank you!
i think its mm issue. every mm rom that i tried always has that bug. no matter what its( custom rom or stock mm). i am using miui 7 for now. waiting for that issue solved first.
---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------
and btw few days ago i flashed stock mm from autoprime. flashed with twrp and i think battery life is better than lollipop. i can get 6h sot easily. but theres overheat issue. idk if thats bug or our hardware created for that. jajaja
6 hours sound so great. I have 2 hours and 45 minutes and 32% left which is about 4 hours sot, but i use wifi only.
i also noticed that even if i close the apps via close all, settings says f.e. facebook is still running.
i will wait, maybe it just needs some time. i read a hungarian forum, everybody loves MM, but i feel bad about the heating problem.
Maybe LG changed throttling settings and this is the simple reason. Maybe it is ok with the hardware but i also read that a lot of people have battery issues (i have abrand new (couple weeks), original battery now).
Idle battery drain seems to be significant, on Fulmics it was close to zero.

Yes I use it.... I just want my phone to do what I say, not what it thinks. If i close the app I want it to be closed. Hope that it will get better.
here is my phone temp while browsing
My phone is usually on idle and not used due to my job. But Im noticing extreme battery consumption even when Im not using it. Never had this issue with other phones. Last night I checked the batter before sleep and it was at 67% at 1 AM, today its 62% at 7 AM so there must be an issue because it should only drain 1 or 2 percents during idle.
In battery settings the top app using the battery is phone idle.
Im on xiaomi.eu 12.5.6 rom but I had the same issue with stop 12.5.3 so I dont think it's because of rom.
I had great battery life with my last phone which was poco x3 nfc with the same settings and apps so it's not because of any third party apps either.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
With AOSP ROMs, I even had worst experience when I installed one of the custom kernels because they somehow didn't put the phone into deep doze correctly. But yeah, the idle consumption is quite high - even on stock Kernel.
Currently I use HavocOS and its stock Kernel - and SuperFreeze (from F-Droid store) to freeze most apps right after screen lock. Idle consumption has dropped to 0.1-0.2%/h as a result. I made a thread some days ago regarding this topic... see here.
Thanks. Im gonna try your guide but it's not the most noob friendly guide I've seen
Just Kidding, thanks for your time.
Oh, my thread wasn't meant to be a guide... I did put it in "Question" like you did, but a mod seems to have moved the thread to "General"
My "solution" is only temporary - at least I hope there are still developers out there who value a low idle drain more than fast charging and benchmark numbers...

Sorry for the OT, could it be that the app. is called SuperFreezZ?
Have you noticed any good battery life gains with this app.?
Yeah, sorry, SuperFreezZ: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/superfreeze.tool.android/
For several months I had the problem that from a certain moment, the consumption at idle suddenly increased enormously (from 0.1-0.2 % to 2-3% per hour). Even if I manually forced all apps to stop, In Android's battery info "Android OS" and "Android System" showed up with double-digit percentages. I could only get the phone back to its previous behavior with a restart.
To date, however, it is not clear to me what triggered this. I suspected GCam for a while, then Osmand+, but I couldn't ever confirm that because the problem didn't start whenever I used those programs, just sometimes.
I never found a real solution for this, but SuperFreezZ did.
The best thing I've used for years now is Greenify, its hasn't received an update in more than a year but still works perfectly
Do we need root to use these apps? I remember using greenify before onmy older devices with root but havent used it for a while. Gonna see how much it drops tonight and then try to tweek some things and recheck it tomorrow night.
Weird thing is, I was getting an awesome battery life out of poco x3 nfc, could it be because of the cpu idle? Because that's the only thing that seems different between the 2 devices. (X3 even had an lcd which is supposedly less battery friendly)

Unfortunately, hardly anyone notices this because most users do exactly what the F3 was designed for: Playing games.
I came from a 2.5 years old F1 and it lasts easily longer than the F3 although it has a smaller battery and a LCD screen... The F3 behaves anything but fully developed. These latest high-end SOCs (870, 888) are really powerful, but unfortunately not equally power-efficient. That's the reason why I throttled the CPU and undervolted the GPU. This dropped the active drain from ~8 %/h to <5 %/h on my device and my usecases.

Yeah. I used to underclock the cpu on my old phones but I dont know about undervolting. wouldnt it cause issues? I just used 3c toolbox app to set a lower max clock and a lower min clock for cpu cores. I read somewhere that rooting xiaomi.eu rom breaks some functions so I havent rooted it yet. do you have any info on that?

Konabess doesn't need root, afaik. Extract the boot.img of your ROM and copy it into a folder of your device. Then use Konabess to modify the settings and repack it into a modified boot.img. This file you can flash with TWRP. No guarantee that it works for xiaomi.eu, but it works for AOSP (at least it worked for me).

I'm ont he same rom as you and let me explain my experience.
My battery has been insanely good. Even with heavy usage over a period of 4 hours, which included 1.5hrs of SoT and pandora playing though bluetooth all 4 of those hours with dolby and viper enabled. Was at 100 and dropped down to 94%. So It may be an app or setting that you have installed causing problems and draining battery. The only battery saver addition I have installed is Universal GMS doze. Idle time for me It takes me about 5 hours to drop down 1%.

Well if there is an app that is causing this, it should be shown in the battery settings. But the only thing that is eating up my battery is phone idle. So it might be a service or something. Im out of options right now unless I find a way to root this rom without facing new problems.... Worst thing with miui is that you cant do things like rooting as easy as other roms.
Btw, would you please tell me the settings and xiaomi.eu version you are on? Im on 12.5.6 stable and using 120hz + vivid color scheme and most of my apps are on blcok background activity except my messaging app. And Im losing battery on phone idle not the screen on time!
Ss below.(dropped from 92 to 82 woh only 30mins screen on time doing nothing but checking xda!) And 7hrs of those 9hrs I was asleep and the phone was on airplane mode + gps off!
You could try BBS or similar apps. Maybe it's an app which prevents the phone to go to deep doze (wakelocks).
BTW: MIUI sucks

I switch my screen refresh rate down to 60hz but since your phone is idle it really shouldn't come into play unless you have always on display or turn screen on for notifications.
Rooting this phone is amazingly easy. Takes like 5mins if that. My Mi 9 lite took longer to root then this phone.
As far as an app draining battery, It more then likely not it since you saying phone idle, which in the past people have said if you phone has problems with signal this can drain a battery. For me this has been a major issue. With AT&T service I would loose double the amount of battery over night (I play pandora through out the night when sleeping). Also if you have apps that are heavy internet usage (unsure where you at but things like facebook and messenger drain tons and yet don't register battery drain on most analytics. And since you using a xiaomi.eu rom I know alot of those bg services are disabled or removed.

Yeah thanks for the info. I used to root my devices easily by flashing magisk but it seems they have changed the method, though I found the method on a post on xiaomi.eu website and rooted my device.
Tried to lower cpu frequencies a little and use superfreez app. It seems better now but not as good as what you say...
Gonna play with settings a little bit more and wait for another xiaomi.eu stable update to see if it's a bug on this version.

Someone made a auto script for it, but you will have to reflash rom and factory reset data. You really shouldn't have to change cpu feqs. Also uploading a screenshot of my last 2 hours. I know its only 21min of SoT but also 2 hours off charger but playing pandora as well as some other app usage but still at 100%
