What to fix?
At least post some details so people can start thinking about some resolution.
What's draining your battery? Misbehaving apps? Apps not updated to MM? etc.

Terrible battery life on Lg G4 after marshmallow update! Help!!!
I'm very angry and very unsatisfied with this update. I ruined a perfect phone! From 20 h/ 4 h sot to come 12h/3h sot is a big difference. I was expecting a better battery life but I get the opposite. In the meantime I make some research and I noticed that the biggest drain is on mobile data ,especially background. Gsam battery monitor chart show me a thing called " system logd" on top. This thing is on 35% and android system or play services only 7%. Wow!!! On WiFi is there too but something like 8-10%. OK...I said I can rid of this... After 3 days no way! I clean the cache, factory reset ... Nothing changed. I think is a misbehaving app, I go in safe mode...the battery still the same ,location off...the same thing. I don't know what to do...root my phone? I hate marshmallow
Off topic: is the last time I make updates. Is the second time I break a perfect device with this, first a flawless HTC m8 running KitKat with lollipop, now my lg with marshmallow.

/me too.
Same apps as before updating to M. No changes except battery draining fast. Before update at this time (12pm Spain) usually 80-85% after full charge during night, now 65% with same use, same settings...

you guys are doing something very wrong, my H815 battery life is insane, with heavy use, I cannot run down the battery in a 16 hour day! - I go to bed and the phone is still on over 40% - running stock newest marshmallow 20B with a few tweaks

what tweaks you use WTF? are you rooted? i plan on staying stock

If you kill most of not needed Google apps, you're pretty fine with overall lifetime. See screenshot - it's awesome & I am using 20B.

As I said earlier. 2 G4's in house consumption has increased. 1 became normal update, on the other with full wipes before and after installing marshmallow and reinstalling all applications and games.
In the 2 I had to re-lollipop for battery after several cycles, if it is true that improvement but fails even to match the performance they had in lollipop.
In Marshmallo barely exceeded 2 G4 screen 3 hours, with very little lollipop exceeds 5 hours of screen

(TIP)Possible battery drain solution for LTE devices.

Like many here I've been having battery drain issues since the day I purchased the Galaxy Nexus. I also purchased the extended battery since day one. I've been reading through every single forum on how to reduce the battery drain and none seems to have worked for me. I've tried switching to wifi, 3g only, no email push, no google+, etc and my phone at 100% battery would lose almost 30% within 2 hours idling. Then I was looking at the settings and I came across the Developer Options/Background process limit and limited my background process from Standard to At most limit to 1 process and my battery has improved tremendously. Prior to making the change the Android OS was using 80+ % on idle (Wifi or 3g didn't make a difference), now it's uses around 20 or less. On idle I'm seeing around 4% or less an hour vs 15% battery drain.
Please remember this may or may not solve YOUR battery drain, but it has definitely helped mine and I just wanted to share with the community on what else you can try.
I've had pretty good results with my battery. I think some of ya'll are either just playing around with it too much or have some energy-sucking apps out there.

Or that you don't have a connection to the data network.
Just say'n. (I do the same thing at night)
I had Wi-fi enabled for 12 hours, and the battery only dropped to around 85%. I have been on 4G for 5 hours now, and the battery is now down to 13%. I'm going to use a Wi-fi/3G combination tomorrow. Oh and I also have my phone rooted/underclocked to 900Mhz.

I've been using it for 3 days and have had no issues. Anyways its as easy as checking the standard limit if you ever wanted to revert back.

[Q] Is the battery life real bad compare to G2?

Or is there any battery optimizations, both software and hardware that actually helped in giving more juice per usage? I'm thinking between G3 and G2 now and battery life is the deal breaker.
Came from G2, Z2, M8. This is the worst. Getting 3-4hrs SOT only at 60% brightness.
Yeah, I'm getting it sorta bad as well.. 3-4 sot on a daily basis... I find myself charging it twice a day lately.. But then again, I'm a heavy user.
On the other hand, my brother in law is getting 4 hours sot as well but over the course of 2 days... His usage is a low to moderate one.

The G2's battery life "out of the box" is significantly better than the G3. However, by using Greenify I've been able to get pretty close to the battery life I had with my G2. The deciding factors that pushed me toward the G3 was the ability to add memory via external sd and have a removeable battery.

Don't let them fool u. This was with 5+ hrs SOT. Rooted.
Scribed hence forth from thy LG G3
Or you can go the distance if need be
Scribed hence forth from thy LG G3
I've done a factory reset, tried zonerom, tried both kernels for the 851 and yes. Overall I would say about 30% less than my g2. Standby time is great, if not better than g2 but the sot time is significantly worse. I ordered a 2nd battery/charger so hopefully that makes this a non issue but kinda a pain to deal with.
Please post questions in the questions and answer section.

Fast battery draining

Hello everybody!
So I bought this phone about a week ago, and it is fantastic. I got used to those back buttons really fast, and the performance is pretty good. Not the best, but it's good considering the fact that I had a Galaxy s2 before.
Anyway.
A few days ago I decided to test the battery, so I charged it at 100% and played San Andreas for 30 minutes.
When I checked, it was at 91%. That was pretty good for me.
...
Yesterday morning, I woke up, unplugged it, and started browsing 9gag.
I was shocked to see that the battery was around 85% after only 10 to 15 minutes of browsing.
I thought it was the app, but when I checked the battery stats, it only consumed 1%.
You can see in the screenshot that the screen is taking a lot of battery.
I always keep the brightness at 40 - 50%, never at 100%.
I also don't have any "memory cleaning" apps or crap like that.
So. What can I do?

if you want good battery life
first start with the software:
root the device install greenify and amplify
if you've changed roms or dirty flashed ones just remove the current one and reinstall it i prefer cloudy 2.5 cause it's awesome with some basic simple kernal
you can underclock the cpu and gpu
remove useless apps
try changing the battery if it 2 years old with a genuine one from LG
for me am rocking cloudy 2.5 with greenify and amplify installed with 90% brightness and wifi always on and it get's me 4:30 to 5h of SOT
good luck mate
Well I just bought it and I don't want to lose the warranty.
I know that I can root it and flash a better rom, but I am wondering if I can do something with this one.

Simple answer: No.
Long answer: No without root you're not going to come out anywhere.
And judging from your posts / questions you don't bring the skills necessary to customize and debloat
(no offense but it takes time and is really easy to mess up resulting in the opposite as in more battery drain)
your stockrom properly that 's why it would be simpler to just flash an well prepared Rom instead.
Simple solution: 1. Root it, 2. Install TWRP, 3. Backup, 4. Wipe, 5. Flash Fulmics or Cloudy.
After that you have a solid base (a properly debloated rom) you can search for guides regarding Maximizing Battery life.
Or you could just skip flashing Fulmics / Cloud and move straight to this point and keep your Stock Rom.
Anyway - root is a must have for getting battery under control (and there are countless threads regarding battery savings around).
Cheers
Thanks for the answer. I am going to root it and flash a proper rom.

Okay, I am back again.
So I tried a lot of methods to root the device, but no luck. I've the 855 international model with lollipop.
Apparently, this model is patched. Can someone help me out with this?

Too fast battery drain

Hello,
I have my Nexus 5x since 2016 and I change the battery 3 months ago. Despite this, all days I have to charge the phone before the end of the day. In settings, I see that the screen is use approximatively 2 hours before shutting down. So that's not enough ! Do you have an idea about this issue ? I repeat that my battery is a new one...

It does not have to be battery related, it could be a software or hardware issue as well.
It is possible that some app keeps the phone awake.
One possible solution to that is to use an app ( I use GSam Battery Monitor Pro) to find out what is draining the battery.
If that does not give a clear answer then you could factory reset the phone and see if that improves the situation.
If that also doesn't help then you could have a hardware issue. It happens on some phones, I have a (spare) Nexus 5X here that also drains the battery while sitting idle.
I just use it for experiments and keep it on the charger all day
what SoT were u getting when u first changed the battery?
considering normal SoT time for n5x is around 3-4 hours, plus (im guessing) cheaper 3rd party battery, these numbers wouldnt surprise me.
also, we know nothing about what apps you have installed or what android you're using.
Hello,
I installed a new 2700 mAh battery like the original. I don't us many apps just have social medias, web browsing and youtube... I confirm : today shutting down at 5 PM, less than 2 hours of SoT

I'm not sure if it's specific to lineage os, but if you scroll down on the battery settings page, it may show the battery use % for each app at the bottom. If that's there, try using your device as normal for a day, then check that when it gets down to 5% or so and see what's eating all your battery.

I am in the United States and I feel the 10.0.8 update had a negative impact on battery life. At this time I don't have any hard data, but rather I've noticed that I am charging more often (once every 24 hours) when I used to go close to 48 hours between charges.
same. i wouldn't say that i have drastically worse battery life, but i notice it is a tad bit worse. like i could easily go a full day before. now sometimes i have to top off a bit later in the day if i'm going at night.
Here too have European Rom and after Update drain more fast.
I upgraded my US TMO phone to global 10.0.8 last weekend and actually the battery life has been better for me.
just to update, i have noticed my battery life improving since my last post. perhaps its my phone getting used to the new update? My battery life is now about the same as before the update. overall i am satisfied with this version.

After the first week I'm starting to notice more drain, maybe 5-10% more than usual. It might be figuring things out but it is annoying that I haven't used my phone a lot today and I'm at 53% remaining. That seems excessive when on Saturday I was above 70% for the same amount of usage. I'll go back through settings and make sure my changes are still applied.
Even i agree there i something in background that is draining battery and does not allow phone to sleep. Issue found after 10.0.7 and 10.0.8 that is latest version.
Normally, pre 10.0.7, my US/T-Mo 7T was around 25% by end of day. After 10.0.7, I would be at 40% around 3PM. The update also made my phone run hotter. Now, after the 10.0.8, my phone battery is actually DEAD by 3PM. Battery has gotten progressively worse, and unless there's a critical issue with the battery itself, the OS updates seem to be at fault here.
This is my first OnePlus phone, and pre 10.0.7, I absolutely loved it. Now, I'm really frustrated by the horrendous battery life and questioning whether to commit to the brand.
hello i am based in india using ONEPLUS 7T purchased on mid may hardly 3 months old updated to OXYGEN OS 10.3.3 HD65AA version since then experinencing 20-25% battery drain in one hour where as previously Battery Consuption per Hour was around 3-5% Per Hour on normal usage
upto that on updating Onplus Forum its not accepting my post on site and dosent reply to tweets even
