Marshmallow Battery life discussion LG-G4

Hi! Can you share your personal experiences of battery life using android 6 on G4? With details like, SOT, network used and signal strenght, tweaks applied on phone, background running apps? And it improved over Lollipop?
Thanks!
(And sorry for my bad bad english)

I'm upgrade today to marshmallow so i will post my opinion in day or two. So far i'm hapy with upgrade.

Not sure Doze is working on my Marshmallow build.
I just switched from a Nexus 5 on 6.0 to this LG G4 and the Marshmallow ROMs don't hold a candle to the Nexus 5 in battery drain overnight.
Nexus 5 lost 1-2% overnight Dozing with a 2 year old tiny battery...the G4 lost 5-6% last night with a bigger brand new battery.
I suspect there's bugs to work out still.

I also switched from N5, 1 year and 9 month old, and had the initial feeling that the battery is not that great, but it was a placebo, N5 was super optimised, using Elementalx kernel, doze, Tasker, greenify vs G4 barely rooted and some bloatware removed. Actually G4 gives me 5 to 6h of SOT, while N5 was 3,5 to 5h. So if I look at the numbers G4 has the better battery life, even not being optimised for that.

Don't know how much to expect with Doze. the G4 has very good standby as is.

Should be half that.
Give it a few more charge cycles for battery to get conditioned.

I m more and more happy with battery life. On lollipop i usual have 1 hour less screen time. My setup is wifi and 3g are always on sync, bluetooth and gps today are off all the time. My SOT is 4h 50 min with 8% battery left. So far so good.

How can i install marshmallow on my G4? Also if I was to manually install it does that mean i wouldn't get OTA updates?
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

You can install like me with lg up you dont need root or bootloader open. Search general on forum. Its like upgrade and its so to easy. Yes OTA will work later when upgrade is out.

the signal seems to be worse at where I'm (Singapore)

For me signal is maybe even better also sound over network slightly better. I'm from Serbia. Btw sorry for my bad english.

It's roughly the same except for doze maybe. Today, my phone was lying done all afternoon long (4 hours or so), it lost 0%.

nope, I don't use stock kitkat, but kitkat based roms, just like you're sharing your personal experience similarly I've shared mine bro.

I'm very surprised with my result. This is stock 5.0.2 with stock everything and relocked bootloader. All I have done is disabled background data for a few troublesome apps like Google play services.
I have 2 email accounts setup push. Bluetooth is always on and was on a 50/50 mix of WiFi and 3g data. Display brightness is auto.
Disabled most of the Google syncing stuff though. Overall I'm pretty happy. I want the 3rd generation Moto G now though.

I'm getting a 4 hours & 58 minutes Screen on Time with 5% battery left. Still a good battery performance for a phone that would turn 2 years old this coming april. I'm pretty much contented.
I'm on a 7.1.1 Resurrection Remix ROM with default kernel, Greenify was installed, wifi was on all the time, 1h 30m of surfing the web with Chrome, streaming videos in YouTube for 2h then browsing Facebook and Instagram with the remaining hours.

My result, i am on AEX rom v4.6
the phone is only 2 week old i bay it for 50$ ?

I got mine today.. Successfully flashed developer rom miui 8 on locked bootloader.. Still waiting for my unlock privilege bootloader..... For the first cycle its not bad..
Like you see i got the Mi Max Pro 4gb Ram 128 gb memory.
Its perfect... Screeen amazing and browsing experience is just wow

Here are new screen shots.. I got manage to install everything i need... Look at these sot.. I will get with easy over 7,5 hours sot... I did play few heavy games like you can see on the screen ****s.. I am pretty impressed with the phone... Just love it

There are some results of mine. 1st cycle.
5 days of usage
9h 30m SoT
Today I turned off the MIUI optimizations.
Still got 15% of battery (should be enough for a next day with my usage).
MIUI 8 global, Mi Max 3GB/32GB.
I believe that next cycle should be even better (maybe up to 11h SoT with 5 days of usage).

I am only getting like 6-7 hours sot?
Any tips? should i disable the miui optimization? I am on rooted/twrp/dev global.
My 7 hours amaze me but i could take 10+

Miui 8 Global Beta

with the Multirom (from multirom.me) i have after 2 full days 56%
Wifi always on
BT always on
GPS always on
Memory Optimation off
Battery Optimation off
Hangouts, GMail and Viber with background priority
(the last 3 points for super fast notifications and it works!)

Hi, could you please send me the link of your current rom?:fingers-crossed:

In RR I have 11 hours of SOT equal to 6-7 days of use. Miui ate my battery like hell. I recommend everybody to switch if you don't care for the Miui "bling bling"...

Yes apparently there is (version V8.0.2.0.MBDCNDG)
I flashed it yesterday on my helium, and seems ok.
On miui.com they only have a China Stable, so maybe the multirom v8 stable is just a stripped down version without chineese and other stuff - this is my assumption at least.

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite before depleting the battery.

Solid

Second day, almost 6hrs SoT and still 35% battery left.

Can we maybe also add what apps we're usually using (what apps use most of the battery)? This would be pretty interesting to know.

The sot's doesn't look really well. Or are you guys only played games? For a 4000mAh battery with Snapdragon 625 should be more possible.

Bit different, but I did an hour test of streaming youtube on WiFi (everything else closed, sync off, stamina off, etc) with medium brightness and medium audio through speaker.
It lost only 7%, so looking at 14 hours watching YouTube in this way
Pretty good I reckon.
In general use the couple of days I have had it the battery seems really good.
Edit... After a couple more days use my typical Screen On Time is approx 10 11 hours for general usage (mainly on WiFi)

Hi guys , this is what I've got in 2 days of use
:silly:

Less 3G/4G, more WiFi

Thanks to Greenify and Magisk, and low brightness when indoor.

Lol, I really am a light user, I've only charged it once in 7 days since the initial full charge. I get 5 days between charges so I'm loving the big battery, it's surprisingly light too.

11hr15m SOT. Coming from Pixel this is unbelievable.

3 days, amazing

Third charge. Stock system, running Octobre update.
Brightness set manually during usage, everything ranging from 5% to 100% when outside.

Hi, May I ask you how do you manage to get 6-8 SOT because I have the phone since a week with global ROM installed and I get around 4 hours ( the same I had also before with Chinese ROM)

4 hours is reasonable, person with 6-8 hours SOT will highly likely have different usage to you.....
Turn brightness down, install another kernel, don't use high demanding apps as much, close and turn things off when not using, use power saving apps etc

I can't believe that my mi mix 3 has only 3200mah battery

I'm getting 8-10 hours of SOT
~Global Rom No Root

Kiwi Browser with Night mode

Google APK ports from the Pixel with dark mode.
No GPS, No Data, No Bluetooth, WIFI only
Solid Black wallpaper.
50-75% brightness

I also had battery issues. Sas barely.using phone and in half a day telephone asked for.charging. whaat i did was disxharge to shut down then charge to 100% without turning on the phone. It helped a lot. Ove read aomewhere that this method is food once a year for phone battery because it helps to calbrate the energy levels in the battery.
Also it.is good. to use as dark pixels.as u can becausw.the.brighter the more.energy ia going to be used.
Also disable.services you dont need(wifi,gps,mobile data,nfc, bluetooth background processes, anything thhat is using your battery energynto.work.
With advices in this.thread you can prolong your battery by like 40%. Can confirm that it.helped me.
Just do.some reasearch on enerfy saving in a smartphone.

Battery
I've got mine for around 3 days and the battery don't last even half a day, it usually lost 10% in 2h. while in idle, I have AoD, Bluetooth and data, but I'm quite sure that it's not normal.

I have MIUI 10 Global Stable, last update.
In the meantime I turned off AoD and now it's fine, I've found out that the screen never turn off even when inside the pocket.

I was able to get 6 hours of sot

I recommend disabling the option to use adaptive battery, at least it improved here after I deactivated it.

On PE I was able to get 8 hours of SOT right now I'm testing out AEX seeming it was March security patch I'll keep you guys updated on it
Edit: same with PE around 8 hours of SOT
