if the battery life doesnt get better im selling this crap. i love this everything about the phone but the battery life. its just plain crap. can you guess please help try and figure out the problem. i have flashed every kernel and rom and always bad battery life.thanks
Looks like user error to me. There are a lot of times that your phone is awake and the screen isn't even on. Your apps are what is killing your battery life.

most people get between 4-5 hrs of screen ON time, this has nothing to do with ur gnex, it's related to an app u have, try to locate it and uninstall, or mail the developer about the issues u're getting with it.
you have bad signal and your apps are keeping the phone awake.
You can't seriously blame the phone for what is user error.
Your apps are what's causing the massive drain and unless you do away with the apps causing this drain, your battery life will always seem crap. I suggest you uninstall KTREweather and find a weather app/widget that's more reliable.
I take it it's this app you're using? https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rdHJlLmFuZHJvaWQud2VhdGhlciJd
Judging by its features, I'm not suprised it kills your battery. Live radar and storm tracking? Who needs that?
You have serious drain from awake apps, and looks like you're doing a lot of streaming radio/music? And your signal is absolutely terrible. All of these together will absolutely drain your battery.
use this free app called diagnosis to figure out which apps or processes are causing you trouble https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.diagnosis&hl=en

generally, i dont let anything run on my phone that i dont want it to run. if you have root, there is a good app called autostarts that lets pick what app you want to start up when the phone boots. only when you actually open that app itll start up https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts&hl=en

Tbh I let Android do all of the app management. I also only install apps that I'm going to use as well as keeping them running to a minimum in the background.
If you don't like the battery life buy a bigger battery.

Really? Do I need to find one of the few battery life screenshots I have to prove you wrong? 4-5hrs on stock battery, 6 on extended.
Why do people keep saying this ****? Get apps that don't eat your battery. Until then, don't try to claim someone else is wrong.

I just want to make sure that this battery life looks reasonable. A good portion of these images were taken yesterday, and I wasn't really messing with my device all that much, as I was doing a lot of work.
Thanks for your help, I will try to get some better detailed descriptions per image next time I am almost down to no battery.
Nope. It doesnt really. Gtalk is keeping your phone awake a lot.

I don't necessarily agree with the Gtalk issue but I do notice two problems.
First of all, you only had signal 60% of the time (?) and you are using Facebook. I would disable the facebook app or remove it since it's notorious for causing severe battery drain (at least for now). If you're in a low signal environment, you won't be able to really judge battery life very well since the phone is expending a lot of energy trying to maintain or look for a signal.
I read somewhere that gtalk eats up a lot of battery? aint it so?

Its possible. I can't tell from the logs he posted if it was causing problems. Its one of the apps that I freeze or delete cuz I don't plan to ever use it.

Unfortunately, Facebook is a must, all of the notification settings and geo-location stuff is disabled. I gotta be addicted to something right? I have contemplated deleting my account, so when that happens the app will be removed.
Gtalk is now frozen.
Low signal, I can't really help, I work in a brick building.
That isn't very good battery life it also depends on how much you were using it.
Bump added pictures for the past two days worth of battery stats.
I tried having Google Talk disabled for two days, didn't seem to decrease the awake counts.
So I tried uninstalling it, still doesn't seem to have helped at all.
Today, I may have used the phone for an hour and a half maybe. Beyond that, I haven't really used it.
Hello XDA pros!
Recently I got the latest OTA update on my HOX but after the update I'm noticing battery is going down from 100% to nothing during the time I sleep which is just like 5 hours to the maximum.. battery is getting used b android os, please help... it's annoying me
I love my phone it's a masterpiece but also this is my first android, I was a BB user.
HELP ME THE **** OUT !
Install better battery stats app from play store and see whats keeping your phone awake instead of deep sleeping
@Op,
My battery is charging when I sleep, I'm feeling fresh in the morning.
You must be doing something wrong. :cyclops::laugh:

I know it's a pain in the arse, you could also try a factory reset.
If you do? Don't forget to back up any important stuff like phone numbers ect.
Draining battery completly within 5 hours with screen OFF, your device must almost be hot at the end of this!
There's indeed something preventing your device from going into deep sleep and using its specific low-consumption core for it. Tegra 3 can drain battery pretty fast when screen is on and using its full potential, but standby time is pretty good
Do as said above, finf what app is responsible, or if you can't, do a facory reset

Hey guys,
I bought my new LG G3 two weeks ago, so I think I can tell you something truly about the battery of my LG G3.
At first if all, I have to say,as I have read I thought it could be bad at the beginning of the circles, but now I can't understand the tremendous battery drain.
Maybe I just post the pictures and you will help me understanding it.
As you can see I do have 2,66 hours of sot.. And I have never gotten more than this time...
And this is sucks so hard!
It isn't the 2,5k display it's just android os and Android system
Maybe you can analyze it and help me getting out of frustration

One issue I had dealt with on my other phones (not this one yet) is when you are in areas where service is sometimes spotty, the antenna works hard to try and keep (or search for) a connection. I remember having an older phone drain in under 4 hours from a full charge because of where my job site was located.
My LG G3 gets great battery life so far, but I'm also rooted, bumped, and got rid of bloat/carrierIQ which was chewing up some of my battery.

Before posting another battery life post you really should use the search function. Many users, myself included, already provided battery saving tips. On average, users get 4-5 hours screen time with optimized settings. I get on average 5-6 hours with my optimizations. Here are links to my posts to help you.

Hi, i bought one moto z play, almost 2 months ago, and the battery was excellent, you can see on airplane mode, idle, not using it, the phone lates more than 17 days, and had 23% of juice left, after that, i boight another one, both are used, but this one, only last 2 days on the same conditions, airplane mode, even safe mode, not using at all, just 2 days, drains like 2% per hour without even touching it at all, what can i do?
What does it matter what happens when you never use it? And why buy a second phone if you already have one that lasts great?
Just sell the second and start using it like normal people. Nobody can tell you why that difference is and it doesn't matter. They have to last under normal conditions, but what you are doing is pretty much waste of battery. Letting it lie around in airplane mode for days is simply stupid. Then you could just turn it off

Seems like a reasonable test of baseline battery drain to me. I get less than 2% drain per hour with all my background stuff on with my MZP. My old S6 (notorious for bad battery) gets like 3% per day in airplane mode with no screen on time.
Just because his use case isn't your use case, doesn't mean what he's doing is stupid.
OP, I'd be inclined to think you have a hardware issue - you've eliminated all the normal software side stuff that typically is responsible for battery drain.

Exactly, it was just a test, obviusly under normal conditions the drain Is Worst, only 3 SoT and 9 hours of battery, if you compare the two phones, one drains 2% and the other 0.1% por hour, that it's not normal.
If is not hw issue, something is draining battery in background. Have you tried factory reset? Compare settings on both phones, wifi/bt scan, SIM is inside on both, sd card?
Anyway, try to make both phones exactly the same from hw and sw perspective. If you haven't already.

Maybe put a CPU monitor app on both phones, let them both run in the same condition for the same time period, and see if the histories match? Not really sure how else to look, since you said safe mode didn't fix it.

the one with the problem has the december patch update, the good one, the november patch, thats the only difference on both. already tried factory reset, wipe cache, safe mode, even on safe mode, the 2% per hour draining persist.

You can try to upgrade good one to December patch to get the same batter life result
If there's no other difference, then looks like that is hw problem. But I'm still suspecting that you are missing something.

Do not downgrade. It is doable but next upgrade (OTA) and you will end up with brick.

Well, if both phones are the same from hw and sw perspective (except update on "bad one") then most probably cause is hw or update.
Do not try to downgrade, 8.0 is under SOAK (quite long already, but still has issues) and you may try it when is ready (don't flash leaked SOAK, please).
As said above, most likely is hw issue. Sorry for that.
