[Q] Verizon G2 battery life

Hey guys im just wondering if my battery is funky... i just got this g2 yesterday and am running off a full charge since 6:43 AM its 9:51 AM now and its at 91% i really havnt used it to terribly much since im in school but it seems that since it dropped from 100-99% at 8:34 AM it seems to be draining quite fast now even when its sleeping... i havnt messed with the settings to much so is there something bloatware or software wise thats making it run out fast or by the times given am i just tripping and my battery life is fine, i just feel like the 3000mAH should be doing alittle better than this..
THANKS in advance!

I can tell you with my Verizon G2 I get awesome battery life other day I was at 16 hours 8am-12am with 2hrs screen on time 35 mins playing games and 2hs 25min of streaming music to a bluetooth speaker. I was at 52% after all that. Don't know if that helps but that is what it is for me. Since got phone it has never dipped below 50% in up to a 18hr day for me.

are you a heavy user?

Tmobile variant
I have the Tmobile G2. I'm a bit concerned about my LG G2 battery. Can others suggest a test that we can both follow so that I can compare my battery life to yours. The phone seems to be alright when idling for 8 hours as I slept it only lost 3%. When it comes to charging it went from 0% to 52% in about an hour, and was at 90% on its way to the 2 hour mark. But when using it just to browse and stuff it seems like its dying a bit fast.
So let me know things like screen brightness, apps to run and what not so we can compare how long our batteries last. That way I can return it before my 14 days are up. Thanks for your help in advance.

i constantly close all my apps and keep my brightness high enough to see but as low as i can to see... right now my batter usage is at 4hrs and 3 mins and im at 85% currently its saying i should still have 22hrs and 47mins but that seems impossible xD

"I have a theory"
So im going to wing this out for the rest of today and let it run down without charging it agian... if it lasts me all day ill post because im having a theory that the way the battery percentages on this phone are different cause of the new technology in the battery cause it seems that certain percantages last FOREVER then others go through rather quickly i think im just used to how my old phones percentages escilated ill repost when it dies or when i go to sleep

I would say I am medium to heavy user I stream music via Bluetooth everyday talk for 30 plus minutes on Bluetooth a day and play music in car hour a day and play games hour plus a day and I leave brightness on auto never on Wi-Fi lte only and I close all apps.

I charged my phone to about 94% went to bed with it at 89%. Woke up with at 86%, 8 hours later. My brightness varied through out the day from 23-60%, currently at 40%. Mainly did browsing and fb for a bit today. For about an hour while browsing the phone was on airplane mode with Wifi on. As of now at 54%, battery usage 16h 2mins, expected time to use +18h 54mins, last 3 hours in use, used 9%.
My battery use details:
Android System 25%
Screen 22%
Android OS 14%
Chrome 8%
Cell standby & idle 6%

I run near max manual brightness, a live wallpaper, GPS, WiFi on all the time, automatically checking email every 10 minutes, lots of phone calls and texts, and I still have 79%. Off charger since before 7a.m. Software says I have 36 hours left. Best battery life I have ever had on any phone, any Rom.

That's crazy my phone has been on for 19h 29mins without all that auto sync and other stuff you have running and I'm at 35% with an expected
6h 29mins left. You think something is up with my phone ?

Well, that's still not too bad. Are you a gamer? How's your signal most of the time?
Also, I'm on VZW, in case that makes a difference.

Not a gamer, tmobile usually 3-5 Bars 4g lte. I dont get how it just dies so much off of browsing alot but so efficient when sleeping. My phone is at 11% now after alot of browsing and talking on the phone for an hour. As I type this I've been on a phone call and googling info about battery tests for 45 mins.

this is complete BS!

i have a verizon version and compared it to my moms 4s battery running iOS7
heres the deal her battery usage is like 3hrs 7mins mine is 6hrs 23mins mines at 2% hers is at 51% we both unplugged the same time so this means im getting the same battery life as a 4s running iOS 7 plus she keeps her data and everything on i turn mine off when not in use... so did i get a defective battery? cause if my battery is the same as a 4s running iOS7 im not gonna be a happy person i know i should get at least 15-16+hrs of battery use and still have like 20-30% left! UGHH and my phone reboots into the verizon logo alot when i unlock it i think i got a horribly manufactured g2... just my luck what do you guys think?
It feels like i have the original droid razr battery life agian Dx my razr m lasted longer!

Unplugged my phone at 98%, went to bed woke up with it at 95%. Then had the screen on for an hour straight just messaging ppl on fb. Now I'm at 87%, that's not normal right? Screen is on auto brightness nothing else going on.

Can anyone confim that this is normal? i have an LG g2 with 3000mah and i loose 1% of battery every MINUTE while playing games, so 10 minutes of modern combat 4 or plats vs zombies is around 10 %, 60-70% brightness, sound half way or headphones. Some people are speaking about "5h of screen time easily" while i get 2-3h ...

My battery seems fine but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND not using the standard "fast charge" method to charge it over night. At night I recommend either a Wireless Qi Charge or a "Slow Charge" from a standard USB port or a smaller charger like one from an iPhone (the little cubes with a USB port).
There is a HUGE difference on battery life throughout the day between a Normal Fast Charge and a USB Slow Charge.
I only use Fast Charge when I'm out and about throughout the day but I haven't needed to do that with the G2. On my Galaxy Nexus I could fast charge it to 80% and it would be dead in 3 hours just idling in my pocket.

Battery thread for moto E (2015)

Boost mobile variant

too soon to tell for me as i just fully charged last night. so far though it seems its pretty decent.

Yea this was my first charge. So far for the battery I'm pretty happy with it.

On my first 50% out of the box charge, I got 5.5 SOT on WiFi.
Next day I got 5 houts SOT and had 8% left. Had whatlookec like Chrome wakelockz. Was awake nearly the whole time. Two nights in a row of no sleep on the charger too. Only charges up to97%, making it hard to get battery stats. Charged to full with the provided charger this am and is doing great. Guess my 3rxpary charger isn't spec's right for this guy
Currently at 76% battery, off charger for 6 hours, 1.5 SOT. Bought this guy as a backup phone to my LG G2 with a cracked screen. This gets way better battery life than it.

i think with custom roms and kernels this phone will be the best budget phone you can buy. i tested battery life and its not outstanding but its not bad either while on lte.

Over an hour video chatting, over an hour of phone calls. Four hours of web surfing. Misc other use. 17 hours off charger. 18% battery. I love this phone. Can't kill it unless you game like crazy.
Only thing is that I can't get battery stats because it seems like any charger other than official only charges to 97%. So my battery stats are about 3 weeks deep at this point.

Awesome battery duration reaches me for a full day with wifi always on display and 6 hours

Had mine for two weeks. Lte gsm unlocked. Battery life has been subpar on lte. Hopefully custom roms and kernels can fix this.

:good::good:

Got a Moto E2 (2015 version) and battery is holding fine enough when compared to the 1st version !!

Did pretty good yesterday. Was over 24 hours before I put on charger with 9% left around 11 PM. Just over 6 hours screen on time. LTE version.

mostly using plume, Instagram, app updates and a few videos on YouTube. (all on WiFi)

[Q] LG G2 Battery Drain Issue(s)

Hey dear forum members,
I have my G2 (D802 Europe) now for nearly 1.5 years and I've nerver really experienced that "wow"-effect everyone had with the battery life. Soon I rooted my phone and used cyanogenmod instead. It was a bit better but not for long time and now my nerves are at their end (I don't know why this has not occured earlier :?) so I went back to stock by flashing stock and unrooting but nothing helps. I want better battery life but I don't know why it is so bad.
I get about 6-8 hours of battery life with 2-4 hours of display on time with 50-70% brightness. Sometimes i have 100% brightness but i think battery life is still bad even with 100%. I only use it for calls, whatsapp, facebook, youtube and surfing. I am not even playing games on it. Anyone experiencing the same problem(s)? I was disappointed for over a year but now I have enough time to try things or even send the phone to LG for battery replacement (Root Checker is tripped. Hope it will work anyway if there is no other solution).
Here would be some screenshots of the battery life today but XDA don't want me to do that so I will describe it for you:
Time from 100% to 0% was 7 hours.
Display on time was about 3 hours with 1 hour 100% and since then auto brightness.
In the statistics the display used 39%, the OS 13%, the system 10% and the rest is below 5%
Sorry if my english is bad anywhere in the text I am trying my best.
I hope you can help me with my problem and have a nice day
Small additional info:
I am charging my phone when its about to die before I go to sleep where I would charge it normally. As Example if I use it "too much" for videos or browsing I am charging it while going on with that. And I am not the 100-4% and then full charge person. I charge it when it is possible because it drains so quick. Maybe I harmed the battery over time by doing it but it was also bad when I got the phone new so anyways.

Sudden dip in standby battery life on grouper

Hi guys,
I got a 32 gig grouper off Ebay in July 2015. From the get go, I was impressed with the battery life, and it got even better when I went the custom rom route. My main use case is streaming movies or TV in the evening for a few hours, and otherwise leaving it in standby/airplane mode to conserve battery life until the next viewing. Typically overnight, the battery sips power -- maybe 2-3% lost in 7-8 hours.
Over the past month, though, I've seen a considerable dip in the standby/airplane mode time in particular. Now, overnight I seem to lose 10-15%. I realize batteries have a lifespan, but I figured I'd see a more gradual drop?
I tend to only have 4-5 streaming apps on the tablet at a time. Currently I'm running CM11 stable, but I observe this standby battery drop in all roms -- I've gone as far back as 4.1.2 (stock + unrooted) and all the way up to CM13 unofficial. I used better battery stats/GSAM but never really caught any wakelocks that would account for that much power lost.
At a loss for what to try next. I can capture screencaps if it helps, but they never really told me anything (perhaps someone else would get more info from them.) Any help is appreciated!

Also, my on screen time feels about the same. I've drained the battery a few times with some streamed video, and I get around 4-6 hours. It's the standby time that has dropped off considerably.

Get Kernel Aduitor or a CPU managament program and see if your tablet is going into deep sleep or if it's still at another clock frequency or if a program is keeping it up.

Thanks for the reply!
My N7 is in deep sleep about 80% of the time on a typical charge, the other 20% being used for on-screen usage (video streaming and browsing typically). It's maddening -- I now lose 15-20% on standby/airplane mode overnight. I don't see any flags in better battery stats or GSAM battery monitor. Most apps are greenified, too, and location services/other potential draining factors are disabled.
Is it just a bad battery?

Is my battery ok? I expected better tbh and i feel it should be better

Bought this phone 4 days ago on friday. S10plus exynos 128gb, dual sim, but i only use one sim. Android 10 and ONE UI 2.0.
Friday was spent to set up the device. I used smartswitch. Saturday, i fiddled with the device. Battery wasnt that great tbh. Sunday i read some guides and i factory reset it, backuping only messages and photos (contacts are from google). All apps were reinstalled manually.
What got me worried was, i set an alarm for monday at 7.30. When it rang i unplugged the phone and kept snoozing it for another hour. When i finally woke up at 8.30 it was on 94%. 6% from snoozing it?? Come on...
So i reset all three settings (accessibility, network and setting) and cleared cache in recovery mode. Still i was at 6% at 18.00 and i wasnt done with stuff, but i had to go home to recharge... SOT at 6% was 4hrs 50 minutes. I used gmaps navigation for 2hrs and that was the only time i had location turned on.
So today i did some more tweaks and my setup is as follows:
LTE ON all day
Wifi maybe turned on once or twice for few minutes
AOD on tap
Lift to wake OFF
Dolby atmos ON
Sync off
Location off
Bluetooth off
Dark mode ON
Power mode is on Optimized
Adaptive power saving is ON
Adaptive battery is on (altho idk how much it worked in this two days since factory reset)
Bixby is ON and it can be summoned with locked screen
Google assistant is off, but i can "hey, google" when im on home screen.
Screen brightness was most of the time at around 50-60%
Keyboard vibrations ON
Medium resolution
Its 17. 00 right now and im on 10%
SOT is 7hrs 30min but with 9hrs away from charger. I had a day off, so i decided to use it extensively to test the battery.
I have seen peoples results and theyre much better. Like:
-15% left, 21hrs since charged and 7hrs 30min SOT
-15.5hrs from battery, 7hrs sot with 3hrs of youtube and still 10% left
-1day on battery, 7hrs SOT with 2 hrs spent on instagram
-12hrs on battery, 7hrs SOT and 50% left
-7hrs on battery 6hrs 50minutes SOT with 64% left
-the most impressive 1day 12hrs on battery, 13hrs SOT with 4hrs of youtube and 4hours of spotify.
I know it depends on user and his usage, but the results of others are just too much better than mine and i cannot neglect that. And some are using BT, Location and SYNC all day ON with great SOT and standby and come home at night and dont worry about battery. I want it all on too, but mine would probably be dead by 14.00.
I was deciding between S10+ and P30Pro. Huwaei because i know their battery is superb. But samsungs stereo and system convinced me to stay loyal to samsung, and i thought that the battery will be improved and good with a 4100 unit.. But i guess i was wrong. I previously had s7edge and battery wasnt that great either, but i decided not to act on it and somehow got through with it for 3 years with multiple chargers thru the day. I thought this will be a very noticeable upgrade, but its not... And honestly, i dislike night mode and i love AOD always ON, always had it on on 7edge, but im afraid to use AOD and day mode on 10+ cuz of battery. It should be okay from the box for the price it costs. I thought with this big battery i will be able to have Location, BT, Sync, Data Always turned on and get through the day no problem. But apparently not. And I know its possible with huawei and i chose s10+ cuz i thought now it will be possible and i like its UI more.. But well.. Im disappointed..
Can anyone advise me what to do? Is my battery faulty? Should i exchange for a new one? As i said with s7edge i didnt go complain to samsung, but this is second phone with same problem and even more expensive. I feel it should be better. I expected at least 8hrs SOT and to get home at 20.00 (13-14hrs on battery) with still 20-25% left... With most stuff turned on. At least based on this forum and yt tests and what i heard from acquaintances that bought the phone..
I love this phone, its system, features, everything, but idk if im prepared to charge it 2 or more time a day for the next 2-3 years,as i did with s7edge...
Ps: in 16minutes to finish this post it dropped from 10% to 6% already on medium power saving mode...
Thank you for any help

Also those 4hrs of Samsung Internet were 95% news and forums, basically just text and no videos.
Also idk why the new android 10 battery usage doesnt show Android System and Idle. But here is also screenshot of Android system and CPU spy

Disable AOD service for amazing battery life
I disabled the AOD service and my battery life has doubled with Android 10

Your SOT is very good. 7hrs is quite impressive. I'm getting 3-4hrs SOT and mostly I'm losing 15-20% per night. But I have this Standby-Usage since my first Samsung (Galaxy S Advance) and I accepted it as normal.

Yeah today SOT was okay. But you gotta count in the battery since charge time. Yesterday my battery since charge was 12 and half hours. And my sot was 4hrs 50 minutes.
So i guess today would be the same had i not used the phone constantly.
I just dont understand how someone has a phone more than 20hrs since charging with 7, 8 or more hours of SOT. Yet i dont. Same phone..
And yeah i know AOD drains, but still theres sth wrong when your battery doubles if u turn it off. And with 4100, battery unit and 900€ phone this shouldnt be a problem.. Seriously thinking about exchanging it for p30pro. No need to tweak it and it battery just lasts. Ahhhh -.-

I would say your battery life is good..I have Exonys version and I have most of the same settings on that you have on, plus some extra ones...before I installed android 10 I used to get +-12-18 hours standby and a sot of +- 2-4 hours depending on how I used my phone. I never switch off my phone(standby for work). So, when I go to bed the phone just lies there from 10pm till 5 in the morning.... I will restart my phone once a week. AOD is on from 5 in the morning till 8 at night. I never use any power saving modes. The best sot I ever got was 5h54...and the battery lasted 12 hours and most of the sot was playing candy crush...
With Android 10 the sot is still basically the same, but the standby time(idling/sleep) is much better....I get 18-24 hours now, depending on usage.
I know the snapdragon has a better "battery life" then exonys version. In general the battery life isn't the best, but also not the worst compared to other top brands...I had the S9+ and the battery life was worse then the S10+...I get +- 8-12 hours more life out of the S10+
---------- Post added at 04:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 AM ----------
Forgot to mention that when the phone sleeps, I loose .5 % per hour.with aod I loose 1-2 % per hour. When fully charged the first couple of percent drops quickly, but drops slower after 90%. I Have VOLTE and VOWIFI on permanently, I just switch off wifi and data when I go to bed, so for 18 hours a day I'm connected to wifi from home and work...when travelling I have a hotspot in my vehicle. Data connection(LTE) does eat more battery, but some areas our signal is very low and that eats even more battery...Over the weekend I streamed music to my bluetooth speaker for 10 hours and I lost +- 20%....that's including a lot of screen unlocking/locking, checking whatsapp etc.. Was very impressed..

Well thats comforting to hear.. Does it not bother you that some are getting much much more? Like crazy more..? Those examples of high standby time and high SOT are all from Exynos version that i found in the battery thread her on xda

It did bother me when I got the phone and tried all the tricks for better life and still I couldn't get close. The battery optimization took a while to "learn". Battery life is getting better slowly but surely...A longer battery life would be nice, but as long as I can get through a full day I'm happy. There is some days where I get through on the battery with some 40% left...other days I get home with 15%...usage per person and cell reception is a big factor for good battery life

Ahhh i just get real jelly seeing all others with such good results and i dont understand how it varies SO MUCH from one person/phone to another. Seems like a lottery.
I get even more jelly when i see p30pro results its consistent and same for majority of them and its soooo much better... But their system and features to me arent as good as samsungs.. Cant they just make a phone with samsung features and systems and huaweis battery? Hahah

lol...One of my friend has the p30pro and in the beginning the battery was great...He had it from the beginning....now, some time later he has worse battery life then me...

Seriously?? What messed it up for him? Maybe an update, faulty battery, or does this happen to all huwaeis?
My brother has a two year old huwaei and his battery is still amazing..

Same thing to me. Inconsistent battery, one day is good, one day is bad. I am pretty dissapointed, but I do not want a Huawei again. Features from Samsung are clearly better, and to pay 1300 eur to get an iPhone with 512 cause 128 are not enough and they do not support sd card... not worth. So, I will stick with Samsung, use my external battery sometimes but to be honest, it was more than enough how it lasted for me, it is just that obsession to have a good battery like everyone else.
If I am at work I have some wireless charger but I still do not use it cause I am busy, if i am at home i can charge it anytime... so there is no need to bother. I learned to not be that obsessed anymore and enjoy my phone.

What's wrong with 71/2 hours? I don't get anywhere near that?

My friend's not sure what is causing the problem, but he barely makes it through a work day....He bought himself a car charger and charges it on his way home, the trip takes about an hour per day....as he won't make it on a single charge for a day...He leaves work at 5 in the morning, takes the phone of charged and by 5 he has to charge again

7.5 with low standby time. With this standby time, according to others should be much much more. That similar to what i got on s7edge with smaller battery.
I unplugged today at 8.50. Its 10.26 and im on 82%. With hour SOT. With a bit youtube and some forums.. Thats just unacceptable..

Exactly. This dont get thru the work day either like some people do..bought this phone cuz is saw people get great SOT and they get home late at night with still battery left... And thats not what i get with mine.. Srsly dont get it...

Since you had your phone only for 4+ days I wouldn't stress too much...It took my phone 2 weeks to "learn" my patterns and optimize the battery accordingly when I was it was running Pie. When I installed Android 10, in the beginning it was crap, but 10 days later the battery was optimized...I make sure that the minimal apps run in the background/most are sleeping...
---------- Post added at 04:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 AM ----------
The battery was very crap in the beginning, but got better over time

Thanks for reassuring me. Im stressing so much cuz i got a week to replace it if its faulty. The deadline is on saturday.
If i miss it i can only use the warranty. Which is fine, but the seller or samsung has more rights and can make you wait for up to 40days to find your phone.
Within the first 8days you have full right to demand new device or your money back. At least thats consumer law in my country.
I did the warranty fiasco with s7edge cuz it had faulty screen... Never again. Costumer service terrible..

Followed corv0s guide..still not even close to 8-9hrs SOT... This battery is awful and idk how, since its 4100 unit. Not happy.. Today is last day i can still demand new phone or another phone..
