I'm on the T-Mobile variant. My battery was amazing the first few days lasting anywhere from 6.6-7.5 hours of SOT. Now Im avereging 5-6 hours of SOT. A lot of Android OS and Android system drainage. I'm not rooted neither. Anyone else?
Did you take the 10i update?

Haven't received it yet. I checked yesterday for updates and nothing popped up. Did you get one?
This is what I have so far
I'm rooted so I'm on 10d for now.
I was hoping you had taken it, because that would've explained the battery. Honestly, though, even 5-6 hours seems like a ton. Maybe you installed something new? I'd recommend GSam, but that doesn't work on Nougat without root.
Screen time, depends on what your doing, and what your connection speed is.
Maybe Google featured apps? Also you may be doing things you weren't doing before on the phone.
Its hard to tell, I wouldn't say you have a drain issue based on previous screen time.
Now if you said, I was getting 6.5 before and now only getting 3 hours, than I'd say there's an issue.
Not sure if it applies. But I noticed some greater than usual battery drain right before my external speaker became all distorted. Since then I've noticed a marked decrease in battery especially standby. Hopefully that will change once I send it in and get it fixed.

Hey guys,
I am having a few bugs with the battery indicator on my Tegra Note 7. It is always freezing up at random percentages and does not give an accurate reading. For example it thinks it is at 81% right now, and if I were to reboot it it will only actually be at like, 40%. I was just wondering is this a bug with only my device? Or are other people experiencing the same thing? I'm at thempst recent OTA, but its something I've been experiencing since I first opened it.
Also, like many others have noted, when I updated to Android 4.4.2, the battery seems to drain A LOT faster. Like, its down 10 percent in 30 minutes on balanced battery. These bugs kind of make me want to refund it and buy an nexus 7 instead. I've only had the thing for about 3 days.
Quick update, I'm just about to do a battery calibration to see if this fixes the wrong reading issue. If not it may be a hardware defect.

That's weird, because ever since the latest OTA, my battery life has been stellar! Sitting in standby, it'll go literally a week without a charge, and during use it seems quite reasonable. I wonder if it's because I did a full factory reset after the update... I've had mine since launch, and after so many updates I figured it might be a good idea to do a full reset, and it cleared up a lot of my issues.

That may be a good idea. The reading issue is something that has been going on since the first day I got it. I had to walk to the library to set it up with all my games and such, and the whole time (about two hours) I was there I thought I had a charge 57%. I went home and rebooted to realize the battery was actually only at 8%! Since the calibration, I haven't seen the issue as of yet, and the battery seems to be working a lot better. I may try a factory reset however because I am having a few unrelated touch screen issues and stylus issues.
Hi All,
From Past 2 weeks... am Facing Phone Idle Battery Drain...
I have tried everything.... - Factory Resetting, etc....
The problem even persist in Safe Mode also...
Is it a Hardware issue ? or A Clean system Reflash might help ?
PS: My phone is not rooted.
For me after I'm uninstalling the snaptube, all it's turns normal... Maybe you use some app has draining your battery ?(software)

I also thought the same...But I didn't install any new apps other than Pixel Launcher.... And Now...I Uninstalled it.... Still facing the same problem.
I guess it is just the horrible LG software. I also experienced extreme battery drain in standby and could not figure out why.
I decided to flash the Resurrection Remix ROM onto my LG and look at that... Amazing battery life with the same usage and same apps installed.
My battery now drops 2% over night. With stock it was 9-10%.
I know it might not be the answer you are looking for. All I am saying is: maybe the Oreo update will help for Stock solutions.
There are reports out there that show amazing battery life with stock but they often disable a lot of services which in my eyes is not the purpose of a phone. Other than that... Try your luck with Greenify or something like that (could be hard to reach real results here without root though).

Hmm.... But I hav paid 760$ to buy this phone.... Why Should I settle for less ? If its a budget phone...then Ok...but this is a Flagship Device.... I am going to take this to Service Center. These Battey Problems are irritating me.
As far as I remember, that idle battery drain is known issue in Android 7.0 and our precious G6's have 7.0 and probably will never get 7.1 which has this problem fixed, LG rarely releases incremental updates, mostly only releases new devices with newer software (V30 has 7.1, Q6 also has 7.1 and their battery life is great).
7.0 bug causes "Phone Idle" thingy popping up in battery stats almost always on top, sucking up to 1000+mAh of battery in my case so I have to charge the phone almost every single day which is a little bit frustrating considering phone's battery and that it lies unused for around 8 hours every day as I have to leave my phone in locker room when I'm at work. This is the only thing that I hate in this phone.
We have to wait for Oreo... which also makes me a little bit nervous because 8.0 also has many bugs... Yes, 8.1 is right behind the corner but that strange LG update policy will probably halt our phones on 8.0...

Being able to have numerous apps for different purposes downloaded on your phone is what makes our smartphones so good. However, there may be a few that are resulting in rapid Android OS battery drain., without you even knowing about it.
Try These
Stay in Power Saving Mode
Reduce Display light
Try using the App Greenify, helps you identify which apps are causing battery drain, and put these into hibernation when you are not using them, to stop them from lagging your device and leeching the battery

Sorry to burst your bubble early, but October Security Update won't change a thing. I've had it for a while and phone idle is still on top of my list for battery draining.
*fingers crossed for Oreo to fix this "bug"*

Hi,
I have been using this phone for a year now. I really feel we got more preformance after oreo. The phone is pretty smooth after all the hassle. I do think we lost a bit screen on time with the os update. I feel that is many times the price of getting more speed. Anyway i tried for a while my G4 rooted + optimized. My conclusion is that optimized + sabs and non rooted s7 edge is really fast phone. I see no lag. I feel this phone has a year left in it and thats actually impressive knowing its 2,5 years old.
I tried Oreo without factory reset. My experience was that some of the apps did not function well. So i did the factory reset and all works now. I think its only smart move after os update. Now i will just clear system cache after minor fixes.
The last as good deal was lg g2 to me. Love your phone still its in the competition with never phones. After year i bet we see improvements that will make many of us consider changing to a next generation of phones.
Btw. Did anyone else get the stability update after oreo? What do you guys think of it? My feel is that now almost 100% is working and smooth as a butter.

I have moved back to nougat and stayed there for now, i did not mind the cell drain as it still lasted me all day, however i had random reboots as soon as i moved to official Oreo or even custom rom with 8.0 base, did not matter what i did the reboots would get worse over time. I moved back to nougat and not one reboot experienced, Oreo for me is good when it worked and would love to use it but drove me crackers when rebooting. SM-G935F

This is actually intresting. My phone did random screen freeze and couple of reboots in nougat, but on Oreo that is not happening to me.
But i do definetly have the cell drain still after the last update. I kind of woke up by the fact that i have lost about 1h screen on time. Yes i am a heavy user so thats the first que for something is eating the battery.
What kind of cycle your battery lasts average and how is your SOT on nougat? My is average 27hours on time hours and sot 5-6 hours

I am unable to advise you on SOT as i don't monitor this, i am running a custom rom with nougat base (Sac23 S8 port) i have a battery life of between 29 and 32 hours, never really goes past 40% remaining at the end of the day.
On 9.0.5 was getting around 8-9hrs SOT now it's down to around 6. Have erased cache in recovery and restarted. I shouldn't have to do a hard reset after every update so I don't know what the issue is. I haven't installed anything else and have the same settings on as I did before the update. I'm unrooted add well.I just curious if anyone else is experiencing a decrease in battery life quality after the 9.0.6 OTA?

I'm experiencing the same thing
Same, checked what is draining the battery but everything seems fine.
Same for me: after update SOT 6.5-7h, before around 9h. No root
Mine was worse on 9.0.6 unlocked bl with magisk.
After that I used the MSM tool just to use it so I can learn.
After the MSM tool full restore battery was life was better.
I was also stock kernel and after the restore I put ElementalX.

That's one of my points though, we shouldn't have to do a full restore every single time when taking an update
Have anyone found solution to this problem? This thread is holding me back from purchase.
9.0.6, drains fast...just wait for update

Honestly, the battery life is still ridiculous, still a no brainier to get this phone, even with this update, but no doubt they'll fix it in the next one, it's just a pain, I'm really wondering if anyone's found a fix, and waiting for the next update is going to be anoying, but patience is a virtue lol

Very true. I'm experiencing worse battery like but I'm still going 6+ hours sot and 30+ hours on a charge. It's like a Moto z play but flagship speed.
My idle drain is amazing still. Drops 2-3% in 8 hours if deep sleep. It's just seems to drain faster while screen is on.
Has this issue been fixed with 9.0.7?
There are no battery drain issues with this device.
If you're expereincing bad battery life, tweak your settings or put your brain to work and figure out why. Stop blaming it on the OS, as it should be common knowledge by now to understand that battery life is completely subjective to the user and their location and usage habits, so it will vary widely from user to user...it is what it is. This device is capable of astounding battery life, period.

I agree.
I have not experienced worse battery on 9.0.6 at all. What I have noticed is my usage has changed over time (honey moon period)
Perhaps your usages /locations have changed?
Switching from WiFi to celullars (especially outdoors when your removing about) make a big difference.
I agree the battery is great.
After being on 9.0.7 since release I feel its slightly better so far.

See that's what I initially thought, but even with the 9.0.7 update, the fact is there is no usage difference at all on my part, no change of location, no change of settings, literally not a single thing different from the day before apart from the cache wipe. I have the exact same app usage and no major apps have been updated. For me personally I don't change my habits at all, and whether I or anyone else use any app 10 min more or less than the day before shouldn't make this big of a difference, especially such a drop. I'm not saying the battery life is bad after the update, don't get me wrong 6-7 hrs of SOT is amazing on any phone, i'm just pointing out that clearly then at this point it does in fact have something to do with a change in the OS right, especially if these minor differences in less then what I would give everyone's 5 most used apps they use daily are causing a 1-2hr drop in average SOT...

Fair point I guess.
I've never gotten 8 hrs SOT, 6 hrs at most and it's always been like that since day 1.

And what if it's an app which got updated and started behaving strangely and sucking battery juice ? I would start with that then use BBS to look for detailed battery usage ...
Since last update I have been noticing phone not lasting a full 2 days sometimes 2.5.
I also notice the Android System is running at 7% in Device care, that is high.
Can anyone recommend a fix? or any ideas?
Thanks

I would try a factory reset if you haven't done so already. If you do that give it a couple days to settle in after that. Also check your cell signal strength, if it's low that will kill your battery quick. I have the U1 model and the latest update is working fine here.
Thank you. I did that and I am keeping an eye on it. So far it does not look any better yet but I will give it a day or 2.
