When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the LG V30's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I've noticed that the standby uses up quite a bit of battery compared to others i've used. Its right up there with my SOT percentage wise. Still has plenty of battery left though so not a huge concern. I also have the Always on Display turned off to help it along as well.
I noticed that standby drain is increasing when you choose 4g mode but the coverage is not good, or when you are on the move it keeps switching between 4g radio and 3g radio and that drains a lot. If you don't need 4g or the coverage is hit and miss you can just switch to 3g for better battery. I get around 20 mbps with 3g and it is mostly ok.
No drain. Battery life is incredible. If you have drain, I suggest you install Wakelock Detector Lite and find the app responsible.
Disable Volte. Problem solved
LG V30 US998 ( Converted from H931)
HI,
So I converted to US998 from a stock ATT H931 using ChazzMatt process from another thread. The reason I went this way was because I could not use wifi calling on my new carrier, T-Mobile. After a fair amount of difficulty getting LGUP to behave, I now have an incredible phone.
After 48 hours off the charger, I still show 79% battery remaining. Now, I do not make or receive a lot of calls and I am not on the phone all day as I have a regular job. I also don't know if there is a battery calibration issue here. All I can say it lasts way way longer than it did with all of the AT&T bloatware installed.
Gie it a rip. I think you will find the same results.

Battery life is very good on this phone both standby and SOT. But there is a catch. There is a huge problem with doze mode and notifications not comming in time. This actually is a very common problem with all manufacturers. As I have two apps that recieve alarm notifications both from work and home systems, it is crusial for me to get this notifications on time. As it turns out this is mission impossible. I don't know if the problem is in the apps or the os, may be both. So I had to completely disable doze mode from adb with this command - adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
The problem is that it survives till next reboot on non rooted phones but it is still something and solves the problem. But it increases slightly standby drain.

You can exempt any apps your wish from the LG battery optimization. It's in the interface. You don't need ADB.
Go into Settings and search for Power Savings Exclusions.
Tried that first. Not working properly. Sometimes was ok sometimes I was getting notifications when I unlocked the phone.
45 hrs on standby
US998. No drain. The key to this is simple. I have my phone set to turn off Always on display from 10pm to 6am. It's too bright at night and causing the phone to lose battery needlessly for 8 hours.

Why is your phone screen on during those hours unless you're using it?

And there's nothing I can do about it. I only have a gear s2 connected at all times and wifi and mobile data off whenever possible. Before I leave to the gym battery is at 44%. After the car ride there it drops one percent. I unlock the phone, connect my powerbeats, and open youtube and there go another 5%. After a YouTube video there is 7% drain. About a 10 minute video too. Leaving the gym and hour later and I see a maybe 20% battery loss. I don't know how people with regular S7s get 4-5 hours SOT because I get only 3.5 maximum. I bought the edge looking for better battery life but it's practically no different than my S5. If anyone knows a magic trick to this, I need to know now because this is extremely annoying.
IF you got the device from an official retailer, just return and get a new replacement. Losing 7% watching a 10' video is not right even with max brightness. You can fix the standby drain by using Forcedoze (which helped reduce my standby drain by 50% to about 1% every 2 hours). 3.5 hours SOT is terrible even with max brightness. Just get a replacement please. It's not worth the time and frustration.
IF you don't have the option of getting a replacement. Forcedoze can help with the standby drain. Factory reset, set up normally (personally, I just turn off bluetooth NFC location and turn them on when needed), and hope that your terrible screen on time is software related.

Do you think it might be my location by any chance? Maybe the service in my area causes this drain. I also have gps on because of my gear s2 but I can turn that off and see what happens. GSAM tells me the in the past 30 minutes the drain rate is 15% per hour. I browsed the Internet a bit and have been using it the whole time. I'll try to also do a full battery drain test on geekbench with full brightness and see what it tells me.

It's a good possibility. I have a fairly weak signal where I am most of the day and only get about 4-5 hours of SOT. I have all radios off except WiFi and data when needed. Still with my usage I only charge every 2 to 3 days. I don't get the drain like you do from watching youtube though.
My battery life also sucks. I barely use my phone during the day and it almost dead when I go to sleep. Most of the day I am connected to wifi between my work or home. My old htc m8 one could last 40 hours. I think part of the problem is because I do not have root on this phone. I kind of regret switching because I cannot get root. I cannot use applications to adjust cpu or control my wifi, data and to turn off apps from starting automatically. I think tonight I am going to try and calibrate my battery.
I had horrible battery life after taking the 2 OTAs. BetterBatteryStats would not report the device going into deep sleep at all and I was losing about 10% per hour on standby. I did a Factory Data Reset and all the problems cleared away. BBS is reporting deep sleep after about 5 minutes of the display going dark. I have Wifi, data, Bluetooth, and high-accuracy Location services turned on at all times. I lose about 2.5% per hour now with AOD turned on on standby.
Guess my advice would be to due a FDR after every OTA....
Guys, I had terrible battery life when I first got the phone. Off the charger at 6am, under 20% by 5pm... Follow my steps below and I bet your battery will do a 180 and be very nice. Mine gets me 35-40+ hours on a charge.
Disable the bloat apps you don't want in app manager.
Turn off Google usage and diagnostics reporting for the Google app, and if you use the Google keyboard, there too. This and the next one were the biggest improvements by far.
Turn off Samsung "Send Security Reports," and in the same place, turn off auto-update Samsung security updates.
Turn off device/Bluetooth/WiFi scanning.
Set keep WiFi on during sleep to while charging.
In permissions, I turned off location for any app I didn't think needed it. I went from 30+ to about 15. If an app requires location to work, you will get a popup warning when disabling location for it.
Lastly, I did a Restrict Background Data on several apps I didn't think needed it.
My phone started dozing and the battery drain dropped way out.
I keep AOD and Bluetooth on at all times and connected to my smartwatch all day, and my car about an hours a day.
Hope this helps! Apparently out of the box the S7/Edge battery life is terrible...

I installed forcedoze and did the adb non-root command and now my phone's battery is holding up better. I think the phone was just sleeping.
It's ridiculous one has to do all this to get closer to acceptable battery life.
Google and SEC should be ashamed of themselves!
It's not just VZW devices either. AT&T are just as bad.
I've given up on trying to get acceptable standby drain and just let the device live on a wireless charger.

You need to turn off all radios when you go to sleep for the device to enter deep sleep. I had the same problem and when I started turning off wifi and mobile data for the night GSAM reported deep sleep and I was only losing 3% per night.

What runs under "Phone Idle" on the V20. It's been the largest battery consumer for the last week of use that I've noticed. My wife's V20 is the same and I had my brother check his and his wife's V20.
I'm only asking because I'm not see great battery life like other have been reporting. I don't have live wallpaper, have only two widgets on the home screen. GPS is set to battery save, screen is set to auto but that doesn't even come close to chewing up the battery.
Sadly I feel like I'm still using my old 2.5 year G3 where it'll need a charge mid way through the day.

I agree with you. Although my phone is just beyond a week old and does have all my apps installed, a factory reset can't be the solution here. This is the typical "I don't know how to fix this" answer always given by manufacturers and carriers.

In the roughly 3 weeks I've had my V20 I've only seen this once where phone idle was higher than Screen. I started looking thru all running apps for 'keep awake' time being high and noticed Android OS had keep awake of over 2 hours when it's normally less than an hour after a full day use. I power cycled the phone and it stopped.
The weird thing was Android OS didn't show high battery usage even though something was triggering keep awake. Looks like the keep awake was causing phone idle to be high.
I'd look at everything in your battery usage to see if you have any high keep awake times.

Sorry did not mean to be short in my response. When you set up your phone did you restore it from another phone using the nfc bump thing? I did the same and my phone battery was the same way. Wouldn't last even half a day. After i factory reset and set everything up manually i get 18+ hrs with 7 hrs screen on time sometimes.
If this situation doesn't apply to you then maybe a reset won't help. But you have to understand your situation isn't normal.
Make sure Google now features are all turned off and not running in the background.

I'll have to go through the apps one by one like I did previously on my G3 and see. Now within the battery stats there is only a handful of apps like hangout, play music, chrome and camera. The rest is OS related so that's why I was curious what ran under Phone Idle.

No and sadly I was looking for that feature a week ago but couldn't find it so I had to individually install most of my apps I had on my previous phone...made for a long night along with the additional emails and configuration or icons and such.
I'll keep digging away at the phone...I really want to like this phone ?
Has there been a definitive resolution to "phone idle" battery drain? I just got a V20 2 weeks ago on sale for $360 and its a fantastic upgrade over the One+1 I've been rockin all these years, but I'm also suffering from mediocre life due to whatever phone idle is. Some forums (for other phones) say phone idle is related to your wireless signal. I'm still with the same carrier and frequenting the same locations and had no such battery drain with that old One+.
i finally discovered whats was goin on with me..
i had the same issue..
phone idle was topping my battery usage list
it turns google plays have this "locationmanager service " and locationwhatever" that kills your battery over wifi even with location button off
Go to locations/ 3 dots in top right corner/ turn off WiFi scan. See if that helps.
My phone has been suffering from poor battery life for quite some time now, here are the screenshots, Android OS has been this high on almost all battery cycles.
I disabled wifi scanning as suggested above and will watch the performance, does the community have any other inputs to fix this? View attachment 4212978View attachment 4212979

Phone idle is always the biggest battery draw on my phone too. I have minimal apps too. No Facebook or similar types of apps. I'm on a Verizon V20 stock with the latest security update. Is this normal V20 behavior to have phone idle consume more battery than everything else?
how about doze mode , isnt that meant to help with this sort of problem ? ( my phone is currently on a ship )
Any update. İ have the same problem

So what did you do?
Would also be grateful if anyone shared a solution.
I specifically have a SIM-unlocked Sprint model (LS997) which am using in Europe with another carrier.
Using it in LTE preferred mode drains about 10-15% overnight.
Using it in WCDMA preferred mode drains up to 5% per night (yes, wifi and cellular data OFF and many apps greenified) . So I'm really interested in how this can be fixed and achieve 0% battery drain across several hours.
Or maybe it's SIM-unlocked Sprint ROM related?? I can't root my phone since it has the Feb 2017 patch and is a ZV6.
I suspect rooting it and using another ROM would solve this + the annoying issue of not being able to send images via FB Messenger and Viber while on cellular data (I imagine the Sprint guys placed some kind of restriction to deny media transfer for these apps when using cellular data).
I have noticed this too.. wondered why "phone idle" takes most battery... any suggestions would be great!
I am also curious about the solution. Phone Idle is at top. Even without SIM card. 30% drains during a night (everything is disabled, but no airplane mode is on). I tried factory reset, reinstall older ROM, replace battery, use no app but still sucks.
hi
my v20 phone battery draining was about 1% per hour before (about 7% totally ) and recently increased to 2% during sleeping time overnight. (draining 15% overnight in sleeping state)
it seems that during day either performance off battery is decreased.(about 5h with wifi and screen on usage)
Fast charging while second screen is On , is slower than when it is off therefore when second screen is Off , fast charging goes better . exactly , first 30 mins fast charging makes about 40% battery charge(instead of 50%) and after 60 min leads to 85% and full charging taking place after about 100 min instead of 80 mins.
another important thing is that sometimes shades have been seen on the LCD that many users have complained about it.
phone information is :
Android security patch level: September 1, 2017
BASEBAND : MPSS.TH.2.0.1.c3-00045-M8996FAAAANAZM-1
KERNEL : 3.18.31
BUILD NUMBER : NRD90M
SOFTWARE VERSION : V10g-AME-XX
MODEL NUMBER : LG-H990ds
my actions are as follows :
phone is factory reseted. No third party apps is installed. [especially social media apps.]
battery calibration steps for not rooted phones is taken place.(turning off the phone and charging several times repeatedly).
testing battery drain in safe mode in done and didn't change results
turn off location services and location scanning for WiFi and Bluetooth scanning
turn off WiFi being On during screen is Off.
turn off auto sync, NFC, GPS etc.
not using auto brightness.
not using comfort view .
turn off location services and location scanning for WiFi and Bluetooth scanning
second screen is off during test overnight. (either with second screen is ON with faced down to lower brightness in other day test )
phone is in Air Plane Mode and all data services is off.
system apps like Google services and Play and Assistance is limited by permissions.
following are some advanced battery drain overnight figures of my phone for more analyzing.
any help with this issue is appreciated.
I've recently bought the LG G6 and while many things works very nicely to me and overall it feels like a solid device I still have problems regarding battery drain overnight. Besides a relatively high drain I also noticed it to be very inconsistent draining from 3-4% to 10%-16 in periods of 8-10 hours under about the very same conditions. I've tried to track down the causes using multiple methods so I have a lot of bugreports going thru Google's Battery Historian tool and dumpfiles from Better Battery Stats app. I can post them if it helps but so far they didn't helped much to understand the reasons for the drain and the inconsistency as well. I though it was coming from a weak WiFi signal or poor mobile signal but it's not related. My settings are: WiFi always on, Sync on, AOD off, data on, Do Not Disturb on overnight, VoLTE is always off, Location turned on (high accuracy + iZat on but wifi and BT verification off) etc. Suggestions are welcome.
Do people not leave phone on charge overnight anymore?

I used to but I don't think it's the best practice. Probably will have an impact on battery lifespan and since we have quick charge is also unnecessary I guess. Also, losing less battery while stand by provides more SOT.

It will 'cut off' once fully charged. Doesn't cause any real issues. Unless you keep the phone for 4-5 years.

Yeah but I'd still want to improve stand by drain to have a better performance during the day.
I can confirm an issue with very high overnight drain. I turn off all radios and typically use the app switcher to close all running apps. Despite this, on a couple of occasions I woke and found that battery had lost about 25% overnight. Looking at the battery drain history it was clear that the phone had entered a very low power doze state, stayed there for a few hours and then often around 3AM would kick into some kind of high power usage state wherein the battery tanked. I don't know what the cause is, but it's not something I like to see. I often use phones on backpacking trips where there's no ability to charge and managing charge is important. With reliable doze, there's no need to turn the phone off, but with this behaviour, it would be critical.

That's really worse than what I'm reporting. My device still goes into full doze after a while on light doze. My drain is significant but never over 16%. I'd suggest you to run Better Battery Stats and look for wakelocks.
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the OnePlus 6's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
This is my first op phone. Since what i ve heard and what i recieve is comparitively low
For me it's quite high as it was with the 3t. Feel like there is almost no difference to when using the phone
at night its 1%/h yet i am after first charge
For me 9hrs sleep = 18% battery drain
7h Sleep = 15% battery drain. Consistently.
Wifi ON and Dual SIM with good network on both.
Sucks....
From what's being said here, it sounds similar to my OP3. Probably the biggest weakness of One Plus phones. If only they could poach the battery wizard from Huawei. :angel:
Yeah this is my biggest concern right now.
I've had around seven hours SoT during the weekend which is OK, but using it sparingly at work today has resulted in around 1hr SoT and yet 48% battery drain.
That just doesn't add up, right?
I'm within my 14 day return window so may just cut my losses rather than hope OP improve matters somehow.
Shame, because I liked the phone otherwise.
I haven't measured exact numbers, but standby drain is higher than I expected
Zero drain over night with the airplane Mode.
It has been around 3-4% per hour for me today.
I am extremely happy with my OP6 standby drain. Here is my graph with 2 days and 5 hours of stand-by while also getting 6 hours of SOT (mostly web browsing, no games though). It's insane, really The phone was never in airplane mode or other abnormal things. Not rooted, 100% stock, with some disabled apps like Google Drive, Google App, etc. (not using them).

That seems incredible to me...can I ask if there any settings such as location or screen brightness you changed? Surely it can't just be Google apps causing battery drain?
Admittedly I have two Google accounts hooked up which can't be helping!
Well...I have posted another screenshot, maybe this makes it more credible ? I also have 2 Google accounts that are syncing normally. For me, turning off data, turning off sync or turning on airplane mode doesn't count as a method to save battery.
Here are some things that I do to improve battery life:
- I opt out of all "send diagnostic information" checkboxes. It's easy to realize how these reduce battery
- For Google accounts, I disable all syncing except "Gmail" and maybe "Contacts". Google Drive, Google Photos are disabled
- No OnePlus account entered (who knows what and how often they send if you use this...)
- I do not use any social media apps (but do use Whatsapp), I only use Facebook from the browser
- Location is off
- I deny access to Location for all apps except Waze and Maps.
- Face Unlock is off (I have noticed it drains battery, turns on front camera very often - obviously). I am using Smart Lock with my Bluetooth Pebble watch to keep phone unlocked.
- I use Microsoft Apps instead of Google apps whenever possible (Outlook instead of Gmail - it's better anyway)
- I use Samsung Internet Browser (beta) instead of Chrome (I have very good experience with this browser - it's really fast and efficient).
- I have specifically chosen the 6GB of RAM model thinking that there are less chips to power.
Thank you, some very good tips there. I'll give some of them a go and see what happens.
Surely the 6Gb can't make that much difference to battery life? Interesting to see what model other people with decent battery life have.

but quite restritive, don't you think?
I wonder if the users who have a good SOT have restricted all the applications and the syncing that you did.
I send my diagnotics because I think and hope that they might be useful to get better OSes and better hardware.
My location is set to on, but only the basic one.
I allow some apps to have my location because sometimes, they give me good advices
Face Unlock is on, it's such a great feature, can't live without it now
I really don't think there is a difference between 4/6/8 GB RAM. RAM doesn't eat battery life, the apps/OS do, but not the RAM.
Now, my battery on my O6 seems quite good. I say "seems" because I don't have any standby drain, I lost 4% during the night, so I think it's pretty good. But yesterday I lost more than 20% just using 5mins the GPS and reading a webpage in the subway. Weird.
Now I think it's because I still haven't done enough charge/discharge cycles, my O6 is only a week old, so... We'll see.
7 hours sleep = 2% - amazing! wifi/bt/sync on
I can add to the list WiFi scanning, black Mode, reboot from time to time, get tile extension from Google Play and add manual Sync button in quick settings to choose, when to sync manually. I blocked usage access for Google Play, Google etc as well.
Having dual sim is also using more battery, so if you dont need it, dont use it.
In bad reception area switch from 4g to 3g - the connection should be fine and battery will Thank you.
From time to time - take a look at running processes in developer settings. Should give you an idea, what might cause you a problem.

7h Sleep = 15% battery drain. Consistently.
Wifi ON and Dual SIM with good network on both.
Sucks....

Update from my last post:
With WIFI + Network ON (Dual SIM), overnight idle = ~15% in 7hrs drain.
With WIFI OFF + Network ON (Dual SIM), overnight idle = ~12% in 7hrs drain (very similiar).
Notice the screenshot I'm attaching:
1) Wi-Fi is saying on, when it was disabled!
2) Awake time is minimal (OK)
3) Network is at yellow.. but when I had WIFI + NETWORK I got green. Exactly same location by my bed.. weird.
Turn off WiFi scanning. When its on, during the day i can get to 7% of battery use because of WiFi on. When you Turn off scanning, it goes down to 1-2%. Check - might be good solution.
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
When i go to sleep and put my galaxy note 10 lite on the table at the morning when i wake up i have lost 18% of battery. I keep only the wifi on and it is full bars. No apps are draining the battery on the background and have it on mute and only s pen air and auto rotate are turned on. I do not know what the problem is. Any advices please?
Hi, same for me all is disabled except the bluethoot and the battery loses between 30 and 40% per 24 hours and it goes well into prolonged sleep. Sorry about my English.

I had the same issue. I did a reset within 5 days of buying, and it does not have the battery drain issue anymore.
I made sure to switch off all the (optional) services at the fresh boot of the device. Most importantly, do not switch on the customisation service. It is the biggest battery drainer and quite a useless feature if I must say.
Moreover, do not switch on the inbuilt antivirus software in the device status menu (present with the battery stats and all). It keeps scanning needlessly thus draining the battery.
Make a backup using the Samsung account (especially your Notes and contacts) and reset your phone. It helped me and hope it helps you and anybody who encounters the battery drain issue.
The reset didn't fix anything for me, I noticed that if I move the sim card the consumption is minimal but as soon as I reinstall it it's about thirty percent per day with almost no use of the phone.

Did you switch off the Customisation service, because it uploads your call data and other private data in the background.
Try switching off sync (button in the status bar). It should help pinpoint the issue.
One more way would be to go into safe mode and see if the battery drainer is the system or any app.
Everything is deactivated, there is only normal consumption in airplane mode.
I have already reflash the rom to start again on a clean basis without effect.
thanks

hey i did everything u said last night and together with the july software update i feel like battery consumption went down a lot. thanks mate
Can I ask for specific functions?
Great battery life. No complaints here
I never had any issues with my battery life. I don't give it much down time but when I do very little battery drains at all. I can use it heavily all day and I usually only have to charge it once a day at most and that's using apps like flstudio mobile which would drain my battery in two hours at most with any other phone I've used before, galaxy s5 and note 4 specifically and the s5 had a custom rom that managed battery life quite well. If you're having battery issues you may want to do a reset or check your power settings. I always keep power saving mode on myself which makes a big difference. Also I don't keep things like Bluetooth, scan for nearby devices or nfc on and my location services are usually off or on low accuracy mode. But yeah, great phone with awesome battery life!
One more thing I noticed. When you press and hold AutoSync in notifications panel, go to Google account. Open the syncing items. Press the drop down menu (3 dots) on the top right. If it says Cancel Sync, press it. It initially got stuck on my phone and was the biggest culprit. Secondly, open the Samsung Cloud sync settings and check for the same issue of sync being stuck on Cancel Sync. You could check for other accounts as well.

Glad to hear that
I have disabled more than 100 applications (system, samsung, bloatware, etc) via ADB AppControl and now I am losing 2% overnight only.
normally i got this problem when i restore backup from another samsung phone.
if you restore your settings try to wipe clean your phone and set it up as a new normally this solution solve my battery drain
Another Solution
If the standby battery drain (most probably with WiFi ON) problem still persists, go to an authorized Samsung Care Centre and get the software installed by them. It will iron out any bugs that might have crept in during original installation. As it stays official, so it's worth a try.
As I said above, it is when I put the SIM card that I have my problem of discharge, I do not think that Samsung will be able to do more than what I have already tried ! Unfortunately, I dropped the phone, there is a knock in the chassis, so the warranty is dead.
@ parvizchitsaz, I knew the trick, it didn't solve my problem!
Please excuse my poor English.
With my G6 Play, if I charged it to 100% and left it on at night it would be dead in the morning.
With my Note 10 Lite, if I charged it to 100% and left it on at night, when I wake up it might be at like...90%? The battery life is bananas (well compared to the the G6 Play anyway). I actually can't think of the last time I owned a phone and it wasn't dead in the morning. Maybe my S4?

You, my friend, have been coned multiple times or you just leave your porn running in the background when you go to sleep. No smartphone ever dies when you wake up in the morning with 100% battery in the night unless you have been sleeping for 20 days.

LOL To be fair, this is the first flagship-esque phone I've had since the S4. Before I've had cheapos: two ZTEs, a Huawei, and that G6 Play. All way under $100, in fact the G6 Play was $35 cause they (Target) were trying to get rid of them to make way for the G7/G7 Plays and the G6/G6 Plays weren't moving.
So a full night of sleep (8 hours) if my phone wasn't plugged in...dead. Nothing running in the background except the alarm and data. I only ever get phones that can be rooted so updates in the background weren't possible (and I always disable auto-update in the Play store).
For now: during sleep time 7-8 hours goes down approx. 6-7%
