Yes you heard me right! I got a new battery for my arc and I am trying to charge it discharge it so it lasts longer before I go travelling tomorrow.
I currently have it set to everything on, and watching a .avi film on screen brightness max. anyone got a suggestion for something to run?
thanks
If your phone is rooted you can set the CPU governor to performance.
Use a torrent app and start downloading a Linux distro on 3g.
That'll kill your battery in a few hours

Try watching one of those ten hour videos on youtube?
Activate everything, max luminosity, download a big file with Wi-fi, launch google maps navigation to launch GPS in background and watch a long .avi movie with sound set at max.
Remove the battery and cross all the terminals

The quickest way to drain your battery is removing the battery and tossing it down the drain
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
use touch screen intensive
The quiqest way is to play a high demanding touch screen game (like fruit ninja or jewels star) with cpu set to performance. But what are you trying to do is not a solution, quik discharging your battery will not prolong your battery life, you have to let it to fully discharge slowly and then charget it again at low courent (USB port is excelent). If you force your battery to discharge faster, you can seriuosly damage your battery.

Cheers for your little condensing speech, the battery instructions actually recommend you charge/discharge 5 times from new to get it working fully and at its best. Not that stupid a question and yes pretty obvious batwingnz was joking...
@all thanks for your advice, leaving it on standby the whole day seems to do the trick.

Yes it say`s to discharge and charge 5 times, but not to discharge it as fast as you can... that is wrong. They actaly mean that after 5 full discharges and charges your battery will work as optimal ... that doesen`t mean you can overload the battery. If you do not want my advice it is your choice... but just for your knowledge i have finished a university and i`m working for 8 years now in field of electronics and automatizations....
Hello All,
I saw every one talking about a very good battery life for their g pro.
Some people also posted their battery graphs screenshots with 30 or 40 hrs of battery time.
I bought the phone some 10 days ago (E988-Indian version). I get battery backup somewhere around 10 to 12 hrs from full recharge with normal use(no gaming or heavy internet usage, only whats app.)
Is this everyone is getting but they are making hype or is my phone faulty??
an 3140 mah battery and only 12 hrs of battery backup is a big turn down for me !!!!!!!

Check out battery discussion thread in General. I'm running custom ROM Vanir android 4.3.1, I'm getting a full 2 days of battery on moderate usage and 14hours on wifi and 5 hours of screen on time which is btw amazing. I'll be posting my results in battery discussion thread in general.

And also I lose just 1% for every 6 hours standby time. :laugh: that means I have a standby of almost 600hrs!!! :victory:

FYI I was getting about 1 and a half day usage on stock (moderate). The problem on your device may be due to incorrect battery stat reading.
Try this:
1. Discharge the phone completely
2. Recharge to 100% without any break! after reaching 100% leave the charger on for another 15 mins.
3. Use battery calibrator if your phone is rooted, if not don't worry skip this step.
4. Do a soft reset by pulling out the battery with the device "on" and leave the battery out for about 7 to 10 mins.
5. Install the battery and use your phone and post your results later
Hey thanks for ur reply.. i dont want to root my fone.will prefer stock rom. Will just try the method you suggested…if still it doesn't improve then i wll come back again

Hi To All I found This Battery For Our Belloved G.
The Good News is That The Battery Is internal.So Get some Looks At This:http://www.aliexpress.com/item/free...OR-LG-E960-E975-brand-battery/1303639873.html
Bigger capacity doesn't always mean better performance and battery life. I've read many opinions that custom batteries are in 99% of cases are worse than original even if they have 500 or more Mah than stock. So it would be great if someone shares his opinion about this model but I don't think anyone will want mess with opening phone etc.
Believe me or not, You'll never find a battery better that LG original one. LG 800 charge cycle itself makes a big difference.

yeah maybe you are right but the battery is a big problem so i want a bigger battery capacity and stock battery is not the best.

as you wish. But I suggest you to do a factory reset and with a bit of simple settings you can have a battery as great as mine. I've had calls, text messages, wireless connection, taking about 50 photos in a party, sending over 100 megabytes via bluetooth, calculator and... with 63% of screen brightness. Eco mode was first off for a day and on after.

well, gaming and watching videos can easily drain the battery. This is true about every phone. considering the hardware, LGOG benefits from a OK battery. With similar specifications, Xperia ZR has a 2300 mah which doesn't make that much difference although it has a 0.1.5 inch smaller screen.
Yeah I would also like to have a better battery in this phone, I'm regularly killing the battery at the end of the day even though I charge it every night. Granted I work in a bad reception area which cranks up my radio and drains the battery, but still I think it should last the day...
If there is a third party battery that last longer I would love to know about it.

There can be but the one introduced here in the OP is not of high quality and may be dangerous for the device. Besides, it may not provide a better battery life. The best you could do is to request the mugen team to provide an alternative battery fo LGOG. They're really expert in their job.
I'm a bit worried about my battery drains and wanted to compare with others. With max brightness and power saving off my battery drains about 1 percent every 2-3 minutes with basic web browsing (no videos)
Is this fairly typical or is there something I should do to find out if an app is draining resources more than usual
Advance thanks
Sounds normal. And what kind of test is that? Lol
Screen as dim as you can handle is how to run for good battery.
Sorry, but I don't see the point of this test? There's far more to battery life than the screen brightness. ?

Also... No one can give you anything but guesses without useful screenshot. From gsam or something similar. ?
Ok thanks for advice, I heard Skype doesn't play well with 4.4.3 update at the moment and can cause battery drain so I have uninstalled it to see if that will make a difference...
Battery life comparisons with others are not going to yield a heck of a lot of useful info. Aside from screen on time, network reception in your specific location has a big impact on battery life.
I wonder if there is a list of apps that are known to drain the phone...when I factory feet the phone with all my apps my phone was working really great with long battery life...and then I started putting some apps back on and it started draining crazily again
Gsam will tell you what's draining you. Or what wakelocks you have. No need for a list. ?

How is the battery? Should I buy this phone?
I usually get 17 to 18hrs, heavy usage but no game play
Battery life is very good with custom Rom, custom kernel, some disabled services...
I love battery life, I can easily get 2 days with a single charge, wifi or 3G all the time. No games though. What is more strange is that 3G doesnt drain my battery at all.

Most people get about 4-5 hours of SoT on a charge. I find I can only achieve this when I have the backlight set on a low setting. I usually have it somewhere between 0-30% and the phone can last me about 30 hours on a charge. I usually charge when I'm around 15-20% though so I could technically go to about 36 hours but I don't like waiting until I'm fully depleted to recharge. If you're a daily charger, the battery life on this phone will be completely fine for most days.
(The 4-5 hours of SoT is for when the battery gets completely depleted, not what I get around 20% battery left)
If you're planning to play games most of the time, than this is not the phone for you. Games just drain the battery, I don't think it will last for more than 2, maybe 3 hours while gaming. For everything else, battery is very good.

Battery gets winged about on this phone alot.
Myself i find it amazing - if im just using basic stuff on it every couple of hours i could easily get 3 days out of it, on standby it drains about 1% every 7 hours - that was after i used greenify.
Wifi and 3g just sitting on dont seem to affect it at all

Not at all for gaming. Maybe just one lite game once a day.

So battery is ok?
With sync on, brightness on auto on around 50%, some gaming, mostly low usage you can get 24 hours of the thing.
The battery is not "excellent" but it's good enough.
The battery has always been really excellent for me. Most days, I can go without charge at least until 10:30 at night, and I am a very heavy user. I have gotten over 6.5 hrs on screen time on multiple occasions. That said, my brightness settings are usually quite low, 0-30% range, and the screen still consumes about 57% of my battery usage.
The best was 112 hours, but it was a week with a lot of stuff to do and little attention paid towards the phone...usually I get 3-4 days, so 70-90 hours with medium usage, wi-fi or data used during day and all communication turned of at night. I am very pleased of the battery life of G3
I'm mostly through the day in a 4g environment with 50-70% signal strength (unscientific on what the phone shows). guess that accounts to the battery life, most likely on 3g I would squeeze more out of it, but it's not all "dandy" and "overwhelming".
---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------
This was today, good, but low screen on time... I should reach the 24 h mark with that usage but if I would stress the thing more...
It depends on the service your getting. If I'm in a good service area it lasts forever. It's comparable to my m8 and m7 and Galaxy s3. Not much more or less.
If you do decide to buy this amazing piece of tech, download deep sleep battery saver. I noticed about a 20 percent increase in standby time.

I myself have the G2 and it's excellent from the specifications, everything amazing. It should even have better battery life than the G3 because of the resolution.
Anyhow I would say never LG again! The software is a mess. It's slow, laggy, bloated and has an awful design. Of course you can use Aosp roms but guess what? LG has closed sourced drivers so using an aosp rom will ruin your camera quality and battery life. It's really sad. Such an amazing phone, but ruined by the software

I ran the G3 port too, but the difference is marginal. And it's very slow, loading caller, contacts or settings shows that LG can make one of the fastest snapdragons as "fast" as the smartphones four years ago lol. I think in the end nexus devices are the best, as they have clean and updated firmware as well as tons of good and usable custom roms.
