My sister has an LG G2 like I have has upgraded to the new lollipop and has told me battery life sucks. She is thinking about having me redo it back to stock 4.4.2 27A. She is not one of us who rooted or put custom roms on the phone. My question are you guys getting less battery life now that your on lollipop or it is something else. Feedback is needed.

It honestly depends on settings and usage, but in general battery life hasn't been as good as kk. I personally still use 39a but the kdz for 28a is available plus other roms.

She will not use other roms and was getting a whole day use out of the phone with no problems like listening to Pandora.
Let the phone settle down 2 or 3 days before speak about battery

yes, becouse it was very big update
You should check if Google play services has multiple active processes, that is usually the culprit every since Google added services to it. There are probably other background apps like Facebook, emails, and so on.

I just got a G2 (vs980), and I'm about to put Cyanogenmod 10.2 on it (after no amount of crying and screaming before figuring out how to update the 10.2 zip with new loki bits). I was wondering, does anyone know if the CGM knock-on feature eats more battery than the stock rom's version?
knock on doesnt eat any battery

I haven't used the CM knock-on on this phone, but on the nexus 4 it ate 1% per hour, at least double what it ate when off.
Cm is still buggy on the vs980. i would wait out the 5years Verizon will take to finally update to kk first.
I'm surprised that the att and or tmo kk builds haven't been ported yet.

That's because it wasn't supported at a low level like it is on the G2. Other devices it requires a wakelock or partial wakelock.
As for the OP, no, knock-on uses immeasurable battery. Some people say that I believe "Android System" usage drops if you disable Knock On but I have yet to see anyone show any real information that it changed battery life.
I'm not a heavy user but I take my phone off charge at 7am and put it back on at 11pm and it's at 80% or so most days. I could easily go two days, but I'd prefer the more shallow charge cycles to make the battery last as long as possible.

The custom code for CM doesn't take advantage of any of the low level stuff. It just keeps the digitizer on all the time, even during phone calls.

I'd have to assume that CM and other ROM kernels use the same code for knock-on as LG's kernel has, but maybe I'm wrong.

In my specific case, disabling Knock ON/OFF has improved battery life significantly, dramatically, from 49% drop (from 100 to 51) over 8-hour night (doing nothing) to 2% drop over the same period of time, again, doing nothing.

Yes, it's been around prior to it, but that doesn't mean that the kernel for the G2 isn't using something better than the old one that caused wakelocks... I searched the CM gerrit quickly but didn't find anything.

I've seen .4% sustained drop per hour on wifi at my house idle multiple times, on AOKP 4.3. I've never even considered disabling knock-on.

Not my findings at all - any of them. Perhaps you should venture in to the Android Development (802) forum... you could provide a more accurate response then...
For me, on the D802, battery life has gotten better. Especially idle/sleep seems better.

Tried out the G Pro 2 Kitkat port and OMG! Rock stable and battery life... I have no words to describe how good it is. I'm getting up to 10 hours of screen time, 4 hours of music and still have 18% left for reserve. One thing I've noticed on KK is that screen brightness has increased. 40% brightness on KK would be equivalent to 55% in the earlier version but with better consumption and idle. I went to bed with 91% battery and woke up 9 hours later with only 2% lost.
Battery Life is Horrible After Updating to Lollipop, Its been only 4 hours and I went from 100% to 34%. Seriously, did T-Mobile upload the wrong update or are they expecting us to "upgrade" to an S6 / S6 Edge? I'm about hop on ODIN to revert back.
Seriously, :crying:
Battery life much improved, here.
^^^ Are you referring to the T-Mobile Note 4 or International?
Either I downgrade and wait for the next update which might take as little as two weeks to up to another 6 months, or I pay developers to get this sorted out, haha.

Never judge battery life after an OS update. You just flashed 15000 files or so. Come back in 4 days then we'll see what battery life really is. There's a lot going on under the hood after writing over 1 Gig of Code.

I cant say the same, battery looks just fine to me even that have passed only 24h from update. And was on full brightness 70% of the time On, and not to mention 1h30mins zynga poker.
If you're rooted, even after the update, you may need to get SE to Permissive. I did that previously when I had bad battery life on a stock (but Canadian) ROM and suddenly, magic.

It's odd that some say it's better and some say it's worse. For me battery life has gone down, not a huge amount, but a noticeable decrease. I'm all stock, not rooted.
Amazing despite all the warnings from the actual AOSP 5.01...all the warnings from sprint, verizon, and ATT users...we are STILL acting like this is some huge surprise and blaming Tmobile...

Our predictions came to life. Endless bug threads. Most of which are user error. And only one day or even a few hours of use. Sigh. O well
I tried Canadian port and my battery life was way better than KitKat. So far TMo Lolli seems just as good. I am very happy with Lollipop battery life.
38 hours of battery
Mine seems to be working incredibly well, even better than it was on Firekat. I have had it on for 10 hours and it says I still have 1 day 3 hours left.
Steps I took
Updated
Factory Reset
Set up as new device
Formated SD
Rooted and installed TWRP
Setup Greenify
Success
I had terrible battery life when I updated my Note 3 to Lollipop. Tried every trick listed on the Internet. Finally did a factory reset and everything was perfect. Did that from the get-go with my Note 4 and battery life after Lollipop is great. I don't know why the OTA update seems to cause battery problems, but a factory reset was the answer for me, at least on the Note 3. It would be interesting to see how many of those with problems did an update without a reset.

Have you installed a ROM or a different Kernel?
So far my record was 9 days, yup, you hear it right 9 days. It was only sms and call use but still I haven't heard about such thing from anyone with any device (ofc android). But mostly I'm charging it once per 5-7 days since I bought nexus 7 2013, so as for anyone who are looking for for durable android phone - jackpot and bullseye in one time.
Oh, don't believe ? Here are screens made just seconds ago -
Click to view 3 screenshots from standby time, on screen and overall.
It says - 9 days left / 3d 19h standby time (last charged) / 42m on screen time. Also there was few calls, few sms and quick web browsing (most of screen on time). So... maybe 10 days these time ?
My Lg g pad supports almost a week with 15-16 of sot
You'll never get rid of it? 5 yrs from now? Yeah, I had a moto g and battery life was good. But I'll take performance and size (nexus 6) over battery life any day. But hey, that's just me.
I get a phone to have fun with, not to see how long I can go without charging.

I've got a OPO but the Moto G is a still a great device to mess around with. but like you say I'd rather have performance over battery (up to a point that is).
Completely stock, just root that I'm using for greenify, that's all. Now it's almost 8 days, 35% still left.

Let it run to 0% battery and then see if you're singing the same tune
From my observations there is about a 1 in 5 chance of the eMMC being irreparably* bricked if the battery drops to the point of forced shutdown on any Moto G model (2013 or 2014)
*complete partition table loss, requiring the MBM-CI files which are still not available for Lollipop

There is simply a design flaw, discharge your device a few times and see for yourself.
I used to be satisfied with battery life of my XT1032 when I was on 4.4.4 ... Upgrade to 5.0.2 made it quite worse. :/

Battery life depends on so many facts, I already explained this in other forums. You can't compare battery life between different types of usage. So it's to you to test with your own UNIQUE usage behavior & apps+network different roms to find your own.
For example: heavy users(draining battery within 24 hours) don't care about wake locks or Alarms, but people who let their device for hours laying on the desk does

That's absolutely true.
I'm more of the kind of guy who leaves the phone idle a lot. I would love a ROM which doesn't drain battery on idle.
Since I use Greenify and also don't frequently keep my data on either, I'm expecting good battery which I unfortunately don't get on my Nougat stock (it drains about 5 - 8% on idle, which seems bad for me atleast).
Agreed - it's not the final build and all but since there's no Xposed or a custom kernel available, I'm kinda stuck with stock.
I don't wanna downgrade either for the sake of battery as I simply love what Google had done with Nougat!
That's why I am considering a custom ROM [emoji12]

The unofficial nougat is quite good, as I'm also have similar usage behavior and the idle drain is OK. I don't use greenify and amplify anymore cause doze in nougat works even better then introduced in MM where I used it to get better behavior even with doze.
