Extreme battery draining after lollipop update - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been on KitKat for a few months and the battery was amazing until I updated to Lollipop. Any idea why?

You have updated to Lollipop via LG PC Suite?
If yes, have you performed factory reset?

I 'm on 20f(flashed with the LG Flash Tools 2014) . I resetted my phone twice and installed Battery Calibration Pro. Battery is getting better after that.

Try to figure wghich app/process is causing drain. Its hard to figure without root that.

If you are experiencing drain then yes. Factory reset is welcomed when you upgrade software version.

Hi.
Sorry about the question but can anyone tell me what is the amperage used on the original charger/adapter for the LG G3 D855 please?
I need to know it because I lost the power adapter that connects to the cable. I want to buy one but with the right amperage so I don't damage the phone or battery long term and also not to be waiting hours for it to charge.
Thanks for the help.
They are quite small letters to read lol.

I also updated to lollipop and i did a factory reset , and still every 1-2 minutes the battery drop 1% down !
i noticed that the screen cause the problem, it take more then 50% of battery usage.
what should i do?

A 4A charger will do zero harm :good:

Since 7 am, it is not 10 am, so in 3 hours I am at 76% with barely a few instant message sent and one single call. This is not normal.

I'm on the same boat. Phone is draining battery very fast after update. Any news on this??

[Q] Help!! Xperia Z1 Compact battery stuck at 50% and dying quickly.

Hello everyone,
Ever since the lollipop update My xperia Z1 Compact isn't charging beyond 50% and the battery is dying quickly too. My phone was never rooted, never messed around with any settings. I tried factory reset, didnt help. Have done factory reset multiple times. Have discharged my battery fully and recharged it as well. Nothing helps. Kindly help me out.
Hmm...maybe a battery calibration app? Just a small chance but I'd try it.

It requires me to root the phone. Didn't find any app which works without rooting.
This is clear case to go to reseller.
Why to have headache?

Yepp.
You didn't do anything what could mess with original software.
It simply should work or "money back".

Try using a different usb cable. If that doesnt work well, you can try using another charger of similar rating.

Do battery caliberation. That will fix it
Are you using the wall charger? It changes much faster than connected to computer USB.
I am having the same problem as you. I tried 3 different chargers each with different amps. But the phone would always say the remaining time to full was the same (it took 3+hrs to charge). Yesterday chaarged to 100% and recalibrated battery. Will try in a bit to see if that helps.
same problem with me.. just did a soft reset and now using 2A samsung charger and everything is fine now

Hey Sathya
I think the issue could be with the battery but have you tried leaving it on charge for like 16hours. My Swift did that and I left it on charge and when I came home it was on. I guess the battery needed a JumpStart . if not just contact your supplier , they should be able to give you a new one
The issue is batteries not available and we dont knw same design and power where we can arrange alternate. Please if someone know let us know

Swift battery drains a lot after upgrading to CM-13 under OTA upgrade
Can someone advise on the battery problem I have after upgrading to CM-13 via OTA upgrade? The battery seemed to drain 3 times faster than CM-12 which came with the Swift.
Do I have to downgrade or reset to factory default?
Thanks.
NT
Well I just got round to upgrading to Crackling and I am having this problem. The phone used to last easily all day (14 hours) with power to spare. Now it lasts 6-7 hours and it's flat.

Battery draining fast after 10%

My battery is draining really fast (like 3-4 minutes) after it reaches 10%.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any solutions?
I bought this phone 4 days ago.... Don't want to root until there's an easier method.
Any app there can help to calibrate the battery?
Is it worth it to send it to lg in warranty?
Thank you!

My phone's battery used to drain fast before when I bought it for the first time from the store. But after sending it to LG Service Center they reset the phone's software. It works like a charm.
I guess you have mediatek chipset. It's normal for this processor and you can just restart the phone.

Thank you both for your answers, about the service center I'm trying to leave this as my last choice because of my bank apps that needs additional activation...
I never tried restarting the phone, you mean restart or reset? It drops really drastic, like from 10 to 1 in 2 minutes... But I'll give it a try! I'm sad about this being an mediatek thing...
Thank you guys
Any other possibilities?
Hard reset it

Lg G3 constant shutdown

Hey there im turning to the community for a bit of help...
First of all here is my phone info... Bone stock non-rooted
Lg G3 D-852 canadian version with Bell
Running android 6.0 kernel 3.4.0
Build number mra58k soft version d85230h
here is my issue, lately when i do random things on the phone it shuts itself down and goes into a bootloop.
in order to get the phone back on i actually have to plug it in and for some reason seems to short it back out of loop and into boot.
At first when it started it was booting up completely then shutting down 4 times. after that 4th time everything was good.
now it just stays stuck in a look until i shove a wire up its hole.
ive come to notice that most times whe it shuts down it seems to be when i try to do many things at once or load up a video...
sometimes even opening a picture will shut it down... it almost feels like when an overclocked system just ticks off.
im not quite sure where to go from here, phone is 2 years old but id love to figure this problem out
edit: yes i already tried a factory reset
edit 2: i just tried another factory reset.... now it wont even load up. itll boot all the way to the os (if plugged in) then shuts down and just says its charging... completely out of a phone now ffs

Try an Anker battery, worked perfect on 2 G3's I had, while both the stock batteries bootlooped.

sorry for your battery as well but heck ill give it all a try
well sunofagun.... i poped the new battery in and she booted right away like nothing ever happenned.....
have i ever told anyone i love the community thank you so much everyone
Very common. Batteries usually last a little less than 2 years for these then you need to get a new one. Thank God these have removable batteries.
i remember i had once gotten a new battery for my sgs2 but it was crap lol
I'm having problems with my screen, it gets dark and I do not know why, it can be without disturbing half an hour or maybe an hour, please someone who tells me why this may be this fault, I'm in MarshMallow
