[Q] Battery drain super fast! - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I updated to lollipop two days ago and I noticed the battery is draining 1% every 1-2 minutes.
It's crazy!
I checked the battery usage and the screen is causing all these problems.
The screen takes more than 50%!!
I lowered the brightness to 40% and still no improvement.
I'm really desperate and I can't just wait to lg's update and hoping they will fix this problem.
Anybody has an idea what should I do? Can I switch back to kitkat?

Have you tried a factory reset? I know it's a bit of a pain, but I had a similar problem and it's gone after I did that.

Battery stats always resets

Hi guys,
I wonder if anyone encountered a simillar problem. My battery stats keeps reseting after every reboot. Sometimes the battery will change from 98% to 100% after a reboot.
Ive reflashed rom and factory reset but no clue what is wrong. Im on LL7 stock deodexed rom.
Anyone knows a fix?

It's Android's ecosystem. As long as your battery is in between 90-100%, a reboot or a USB plug in will reset the battery stats. When the level reaches below 90% it won't reset anymore.

Well try to wipe all data.
On the stock 4.3 i`m averaging 4h30m display time with 18h of up-time and 15% battery left.
I have: H+ on all the time, WIFI on all the time and location based on WiFi, auto-brightness on max level, Sync on.
Some app may be draining your battery or the battery may be close to it's death.
I tried wiping and factory reset, then I am not only on plain vanilla stock rom and whatsapp and chrome that's all.. I am having problems even with my zero lemon 9300mah Battery that is draining too fast I used to get 3-4 days easily but now it does last even one day.. Also my h+ disconnects and takes time to connect once I switch on the screen.. Any suggestions as to what can be done is it that the Handset motherboard might have messed up?

: Go to settings> data usage> press the menu button of your phone and tick the restrict background data. That's it! You will have a triangle notice on your notification bar but your problem will be solved. I hope it works for you too. If it does not work completely to your satisafaction also disable the great battery drainer Google+. It is usually the main reason for the drain among others.

Did you perform a factory reset after the upgrade? If not, backup and try that first as I have no issues with battery life on Lollipop. Also, make sure the apps you use are up-to-date as it might be one of them not playing nice with 5.0 yet...
same issue here...im stock and unrooted. I dont think greenify can do much. Phone heats up more than before and thus causes more battery drainage... i guess unless we roor the phone, we are stuck with this, or unless there is a software update from htc to fix the issue
I'm with EddyOS on the factory reset. I'd do that, but probably through hboot. I'm running lollipop slightly overclocked with a fairly aggressive custom kernel and I'm not dealing with any heat or undue battery drain. Battery life is actually better than kitkat. I'm running a radically debloated ROM, too, but even on a simply rooted stock ROM with a stock kernel I didn't have such issues.
Thanks for all. Now my HTC One_M8 battery working for automatically after 3 days of update.

I can tell you that it's down to apps and cpu.... I took update from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 ... consumption was massively increased (15-20 mins lost around 10% battery power) ....later ran tr/towelroot/sunshine apps and if I left them running longer I'd have had a new room heater
Turn off after an update, see if that clears it up first, if it continues then do a factory reset

I've had a similar problem since I got the lollipop update, my battery seems to die at somewhere between 20 and 15% and the phone will turn off. Sometimes it will come back on sometimes it won't. I thought a factory reset would do the job so I ended up flashing AR HD (a factory reset was a good enough reason to move away from stock) and its happened again. Anyone any uses what could be causing it?

[Q] Battery drain after Marshmallow update

So I updated to Marshmallow on my LG-H815, and now my battery drain is a lot higher than on 5.1.1. I'm checking GSAM and it seems like Android System (logd) is using up the most battery.
The phone is running quite warm as a result, before, at the end of the day, my phone would be on around 60%, now it gets to 20%.
I can't seem to find much about logd, but so far I've disabled WiFi scanning, and checked to make sure Activity Logs is disabled.
Does anyone know what could help to bring Marshmallow promised battery life improvements?
Cheers.
I had a battery drain because of Bluetooth. After disabling it it's gone. It's only temporary solution because I need BT to use my SW2 smartwach. So LG do your job.

First thing is to do a factory reset after you upgrade to MM, my battery was worse until I bit the bullet and reset it. Now I get 2 days use with 5hrs screen on time, most of that on GSM data.
my experience with MM
Mine just updated to 20c (EU - Latvia) and its flawless! Had some battery drain at the beginning, now after 3 restarts it runs a lot better and battery life lasted around 15% longer! If someone have issue with processes called dex2oat as they running and eating up the battery, you will need to reset your phone to factory settings, reinstall all of the apps you had on Lollipop and restart phone few times. Mine disappeared next morning. I guess they were apps still optimizing for battery! Hope it helps!
My experiences with MM are:
1) Bluetooth drains THE **** out of our devices. If you don´t need it, disable it. No idea why, but with BT off, I have over 1 hours of screen on time time more every day.
2) Disable auto-brightness. Do it. Helped me to get from 2,5 h SoT to over 3,5 h.
3) Greenify really works for me. I know we have Doze, but Greenify affects system apps...maybe thats why. Or maybe it´s just voodo, idk.
Still, battery life could be A LOT better.
Well I've just done a factory reset, will see how tomorrow goes.

No improvement after a factory reset, may roll back to 5.1.1
In my case I did update from LL directly, battery was a disaster, disabled location services improved a lot. Found out how to do CSE installation with LG UP, reflashed the phone and disabled location services, battery is great...I end up the day with 40% with normal usage with WIFI at work.
I updated my H815p (south africa) to Marshmallow 6.0 using the LGup utility the first time I flashed I selected update only option, and I was getting unusual drain so I retried and this time opted for refurbish option which I believe is the fresh install option, and still only get 55 min screen on time. Android OS is keeping the device awake all the time. What can I try to solve this.

Factory reset, set it charge overnight, then goes to around 30% with 1 and a half hour screen on time. That's what I was getting previously. I've reverted to Lollipop.

thank you very much sir !
great solution without root !
Since getting the update my battery performance has been terrible. Its takes hours to charge the phone and when left off charge last night i lost almost 20% with thr phone doing nothing. When i use my phone the battery can be seen draining.
I have restarted the phone a number of times. Dont really want to do a hard reset though.
I have emailed LG and shall keep you all posted.
Hi,
I joined this forum just for this issue. I was all excited about the new battery improvement with MM 6.0 although my LG G4 had excellent battery life before - thought better is always a good thing.
Until I upgraded to MM 6.0 about a week ago. I thought I was just using my phone more as it kept being at 20% by 5pm when I was never less than 75% before?
So I started doing some reading and checking the battery usage and installed Greenify.
Last night I had my phone at 100%. Unplugged for 8 hours with no usage - I was asleep...
This morning battery was at 80%???
So I checked what is using the battery. The issue is that you cannot reset these items to zero but they do seem to fluctuate so this maybe a current usage? I pulled the battery for 30 seconds and the percentages are about the same.
Google Services 15% (I suspect my location services that are enabled but they were enabled under LL 5.1 and never killed the battery).
Next is a weird one com.lge.exchange 12% (I assume the exchange server I get work email on) - have always had it before as well if that is it and have not changed the sync settings which are manual so only get mail when I call for it)
Phone idle 12% - what is phone idle taking 12% for?
Cell standby 11%.
So based on a 20% drop over eight hours with ZERO usage other than standby - my LG G4 will last about 30 hours on STANDBY. No usage - just sitting in a quiet room.
Can someone help what is now sucking my battery dry all the time?
TIA
Trevor
I have the same issue, after I did the V20D-JAN update a week ago. My SOT dropped from ~4h to less then one with "Android System" beeing on top of my battery history with 50%. I really wonder, what happened to my device.
I did a total of 5 factory resets, 2 full discharges (not hard, when your battery only lasts about 30min of continuous usage) and still, nothing changed. It even got to the point, where it discharged while on the wall adapter after a factory reset. I installed no apps, no root or nothing. Full stock after a reset and it dropped charge in no time.
Disabling location, logging, LG health and most other stock apps after a factory reset did not change a thing. "Andoid System" was at 40-50% battery usage in less then 15min after I booted the phone.
Anyone else had this, too?

Extreme battery drain and heating

I can't figure out what is causing this but my phone is losing battery quickly and when I check battery setting it is some app or the other at the top of the battery consuming app-list. If I remove (uninstall) the top app from the phone, another takes it place. I removed 10 such apps and now it's WhatsApp and Chrome who are doing the honors. What is happening to my phone? As I type, the phone is heating considerably. I have just restarted it and only WhatsApp and XDA app is running in the background.
Edit: The heating and battery drain only happens when the screen is active. When the phone is locked, it no longer remains hot and battery drain also subsides.

Batter drain
Hi, since past few weeks my phone's battery is draining like anything. Strangely the built in app ContactsStorage is showing on top of the battery eating apps, can anyone please help me understand what this app is and why it is eating up battery the most. See the screenshot attached. Please help me with the solution.

Hi,
I am facing this issue too from last 2-3 days. Have used greenify to kill apps that seem to use battery but that has been of no help. I only keep my mobile data on and rest all - wifi, gps, auto brightness, screen rotate etc. are switched off. Still battery drain happening and phone is heating on normal usage (No games or heavy apps used - just messaging and whatsapp). I have also noticed that the fast charge is not really charging the phone as quickly as it used to earlier. If anyone finds a solution do post it here.
Not looking at a factory resetting the phone as I do not have the entire backup of my phone.

You should try a factory reset then.

You can try this alternative solution:
Go to settings > Apps > Hit the "Plus" or "more" dots button > Reset by default
It might help to fix and reset everything for each single app in terms of notifications, datas, permissions, specific actions linked to your apps.
Give it a try and let's see what happened for you guys, and it won't delete anything in your phone, no worries,
