Our phones are not inefficient. No not at all. If you think about it, on a 3000 mah battery we get good battery life compared to other phones with the same or bigger battery. But here is my gripe, and it pisses me the hell off. The G2 had a 5.2 inch 1080p display with a 3000 mah battery. Now how the heck can LG be dumb enough to not upgrade the battery when they stretched the screen size by .3 inches and more than doubled the resolution? Thats literally the dumbest thing ive seen come from lg. Albiet everything else is top notch on this phone, and the battery life is still pretty darn good. Its just a stupid move by lg that makes no sense whatsoever. Its like giving a mustang a gas tank the size of a 4 cylinder prius. [emoji57]

Because the battery in the G2 was not removable. It is removable in the G3. That's why.

It is still a stupid move they could not anticipate that allot of people would not want to remove the battery all the time.
Simple concept: Increase the battery capacity with every generation to accommodate the more juice needed. Look at samsung. Their batteries always increased.

The battery is fine,the lag and stutter is the problem.

I really think its about choosing the right phone for you.
I had my LG for my first day today at work (day 3) and after 14hrs I still have 68% left. OK admittedly its been a very light day in terms of usage but today I am a happy user because I have an awesome display with a great phone with all the features that I was looking for and it was able to get through my day with a great deal of battery life left.
The question you need to ask yourself is have you bought the right phone for your needs?

Lag and stutter? Ohh you mean thw decreased frame rates to save battery life. Yeah you do know that stems from the battery issue correct?
And i dont notice any lag or stutter. Everyonce in a while. But hey its a stock rom. Pretty much expected. The Gs5 is worse...

Their batteries also are always removable. I'm not saying they shouldn't have tried to go with a 3,200 removable. However so many people complained about the sealed in battery, they thought they were giving the people what they wanted. Their battery size technically did increase. The Korean G2 with a removable battery was 2,600 mah and now the international g3 with the removable battery is 3,000 mah. If they would have kept it embedded I'm sure the battery would have been around 3,500 mah.

Decreased frame rates when your playing a game is a problem. Its annoying and ruins the game.
Personally i'm liking the phone so far. The battery life isn't all that bad unless the screen is on most of the time. I'm actually quite surprised that the battery life is that good. My phone usually lasts me a full day even if I leave my house without it fully charged (80% or so).
But of course I have a spare battery with me just in case. Doesn't hurt to be prepared

Yes I love my G3 and i chose it over the m8 and GS5. It's just this one thought that grinds my gears a bit. It is a logical step and it seemed they cheaped out on it.

I was thinking more like a 3500 mah in this phone. It would help allot. Yet they didnt think that they would kill 2 birds with one stone if they increased capacity and added the removable function.

I mean I would have loved more juice too, I'm just going to give them benefit of the doubt and assume, they couldnt keep the bezels as slim as they are and making the battery removable and adding microsd card slot while increasing the removable battery size more than from 2,600 to 3,000.
But i agree 3,500 would probably have been the sweet spot.
Fair enough that actually may be another reason i never thought of. Silly me.
Do you guys think a battery manufacturer might be able to produce a 3500mah battery the same size as the stock one? Its okay if it a tighter fit.
Life is about compromises for most people and sadly the same is true about our choice of phone ......

Are you not understanding the fact that it's easier and much more possible for a manufacturer to include a higher capacity battery by making it non-removable? The battery is as good as it's going to get with the current form factory and removability. And LG makes great batteries, so don't expect some eBay store to beat them. You can buy a second battery, get a portable charger, or get a new phone.

A guy on G+ in the G3 community bought a 3500mAh battery on I think Ebay. Yes it's the same size but I think when he took videos it locked or something. Personally I would never buy a cheap battery or a non LG battery for a $600 phone. That's one reason why they catch on fire.
I've owned the G2, Flex and now the G3. I think LG is doing great with the battery life, camera, and design. The Flex had great battery life with the 3,500mAh battery but is noticeable bigger then the G3.

And the sharpening
I can deal with the battery....what's unacceptable is the lag.
Its almost putting me on the verge of never buying an LG ever again.
The HTC M7 was blazing fast compared to this and made the phone a enjoyable experience.....optimize the software you F*ckwits.
I hate lag, I hate it I hate it........the saving grace which is starting to wear thin is that its so pretty to look at, that is untill I turn the thing on and the lag infuriates me again.
No problems here with battery life with my kind of use, 2 days of normal use till charge
Never ever had that with my other smartphones
:good::good::good:
Lag, lag lag...All these posts about lag. As a former Nexus 5 owner, these lag complaints are what infuriate me. Change your animations to .5, switch to ART. Install nova or another 3rd party launcher. Personally, I have the 3/32 on Sprint and I don't see the lag. Again, I'm coming from N5 so you'd think I'd notice, right? Well, I don't. I switched to nova for about a week and then I switched back to stock. With animations at .5, I think stock is just as fast. Seriously people, if the phone disgusts you that much, return it. There are plenty of others, like me, even professional phone reviewers, who think this is currently the best android device available. Also, I know you're all entitled to your opinions as am I, not trying to start a flame war here. :end rant:

New phones don't come with fake batteries.
And even fake batteries should work normal for a few months.
Put it on a flat table and try to spin it. If it spins, the battery is bulged and bad.

It is hard to tell. Usually fake batteries don't have an NFC antenna. That means that NFC will peobably not work on your device if the battery is fake.

Hi everyone.
Thinking of getting either the international version of the S4 or the OnePlus One.
Will save some bucks if I get the S4.
With a new battery and MM custom ROM (are there stable ones?) I was thinking this might be a good device.
Or as owners would U say I should add a few $ and opt for the OPO?
Thanks a million!
don't know the battery size of oneplus but the s4 benefits from carrying a spare or using a high capacity battery. opo has a much better CPU. always go newer for me...

Thanks for that input. The OPO has a 3,000 mhA battery and since I am a light user, lasts me 2 days (running stock CM 13 MM).
I guess battery wise the S4 would be a downgrade then. Carrying an extra battery is not an option for me as I will lose it within a week
it's hard to judge but if you're getting two days usage out of 3000mAh then you should be OK with 2600mAh to get back to a charger again. roms with alucard's kernel can be underclocked and or undervolted as well as being run on a power saving profile. that said I'm sure opo has similar options available...
You can also get a 3000mAh battery for the S4.
That being said, it really depends on how high the price difference is.
I personally would go for the OPO, because of the better specs. But I dislike the fact that it has no card slot. This is pretty much a deal-breaker for me.
Is this true that s8 port roms doesn't have good battery life then stock based one mm***???
Haven't heard of this issue. And I don't know any statistics in this regards.

Hello everyone,
Anyone observed a drastic loss of the battery capacity after only one year?
My Moto X Style has fallen from 4 hours screen to 2 in one year
Mine is 2 1/2 years old and it has held up remarkably well. I limit the use of quick charge to once or twice a week. Most days I charge it on my desk using an old 5W charger, and it stays waaay cooler than quick charging it. I don't know if that has made the difference or if I just got lucky, but a lithium ion battery not getting hot as often can't hurt.
The same for me! I used very few times the quick charge, but I had the same problem also with another Moto X Style bought before and substituted by the vendor with my actual one. This is strange, normally I use a 1A charger
My phone is over 1,5 year old and it has average battery life of 1 day with 3h of sot (reported by GSam) using 4g/wifi all the time so it's not that bad. I think it was better with standby times on 6.0. Also I use quick charge most of the time and I don't think it makes any difference.

Good luck with that. Have you ever unlocked your bootloader? If you have, the warranty is void but let me know how it goes. My battery is complete garbage but I've unlocked my bootloader so I'm SOL.
My condition is the same as yours, I barely get around 2hrs or SoT now, it's lesser with 4G turned on. It was ~3.5-4hrs before. I noticed the drastic drop in battery life, especially after the nougat update.
I'm waiting for the camera fix in Lineage 15.1 unofficial, I'm hoping I might get a bit better battery life with that. I don't flash ROMs that often, so I need something solid to use as my daily driver. Is there any solid ROM that I can update from my Nougat 7.0 stock??

The 4G issue may be radio related from the nougat update. I remember reading somewhere that the radio was more prone to battery drain in weak signal situations under nougat.
My Moto X Pure is almost 2 years old and the battery is pretty much useless now. Have to charge twice a day. I'm giving up. I have my eyes on the Nokia 7 Plus for its replacement.
Guys I returned back my phone and I got a refund. Better than I could ever think

Okay. I didn't understand what you meant by 'radio related'. Do I need to keep my cellular 'preferred network type' to 2G? Will that bring about any difference?

No, it means since stock nougat on this phone, the radio hardware consumes more battery when the signal is poor. So if the phone is in bad network area, it would consume more battery than it did while on Marshmallow.

I've only seen people's "experiences". But regardless, there has been a lot of discussion that the SD808 chip has always been more battery hungry when on weak signals than the SD810 and such. I can't verify with any hard numbers if nougat has made it worse or not.

Thanks! This might be true, not sure about it. Definitely saw a drastic drop in the batt. life after the Nougat update though.
Eagerly waiting for the Lineage 15.1 camera to work. Not too hopeful but some people reported to have better batt. with the 15.1 in the Lineage thread.

I agree with the bit about the 808 not being the best chipset for power usage, but I'm highly skeptical about the version of Android having any kind of an impact on it. I feel that the spreading of these types of unsubstantiated myths doesn't do anyone any good.
