It looks like the update pushes are on a daily limit right now. But regardless, it's here!
Downloading it right now!
LG G6 ThinQ. Nice!
never thought we'd actually get it, updating now!
Updating now. Odd that it is still unavailable via Bridge.
So far nothing really noticeable besides major changes to the setting menu. They also added a square dot on the navigation bar so that you can hide the bar per app. Battery life still unknown. I do wish we have 8.1 instead, but I think this is the end of this phone. I will check if the Bluetooth stuttering issue is resolved for my car.
Is someone willing to grab the KDZ from LG Bridge?

Battery life doesn't seem good. It appears to be noticeably worse although I don't remember the old battery life. Today is weekend so I am mostly at home connected to a very good wifi signal. Phone has NOT been reset. It was upgraded last night so today was the first full day use.
Total time 10 hr since removal from charger at 100%.
Battery is down to 34%. SoT is 3 hr even as of now.
About 25 min of YouTube and everything else is web browsing and using Relay Pro (reddit app).
Feels disappointing. I wonder if we'll ever see 8.1, which has more battery life optimization. My bet is never.
My wife's T-Mobile G6 feels more laggy and chop on this new update.
Man I miss the old days of all carrier phones being able to root and ROM, I'd love install Lineage 15.1 on this phone.
Oh well, I'm happy as a clam on my Pixel 2 XL which is smooth as butter.
Updated my G6 yesterday. It became really smooth and lag-free, whereas on Nougat my G6 was constantly microstuttering. So far, I like the update.
THE BATTERY DRAIN HAS BEEN FIXED FOR ME. Go to settings >> storage >> internal storage >> Free up space. Then select everything, including the various cache memories and delete them!
It doesn't delete your data, just some temporary cached memory that's used for efficiency which really isn't all that important. My battery on-screen time used to be 3 hours after the Oreo update, but now it's been well over 6 since freeing up space.

Thanks, gonna give this a try.
Welp, that didn't work for me this drain is crazy getting tops 2 hrs of SOT. I've read on the net that resetting it to factory helped for some any confirmation on this?
I found the culprit which was Fitbit. I deleted the app and I'm at 4hrs SOT with 65% left. Will reinstall the app tomorrow and see how it goes.
Bad news the Oreo update broke my BT with my car head unit. It was working well enough with 7.0 but 8.0 causes the audio to cut in and out about every 2-4 seconds. My other phones playing the same content perfectly without any issues. I haven't factory reset the G6 yet, but BT on this phone never worked well with my car head unit. It does work flawlessly with my Sony WH-1000XM2.

Mine is exactly the opposite. Slow, laggy, awful experience.
I HATE LG's ROMs. Just way, WAY too stuffed with bloatware.
Android Auto is broken. It won't connect to my car.
This phone is brand new to me, I just got it as a certified refurb from Amazon. This is very disappointing to me, since I used it daily with my last phone.

Hi... I've had a LOT of battery issues after installing CM 7.0 RC3 or whatever that last one was. As the Nightly builds got higher - battery got worse. I have the latest radio for this Phone, and I've even replaced it. Battery life is horrible lately. I have two batteries (thought it was my battery) - I've cycled both of them a few times, and it still acts odd. I've wiped / reloaded, same thing. When I changed the radio from Euro to US, it seemed to be a bit better. But I'll be walking around my office with 99% battery, go out, smoke, talk to two people (20-30m) and it'll drop to 88% like it's nothing.
After changing the radio to US, the Cell Standby lowered, but Android System has crept up. I have TweetDeck set for 15m refresh, Google+ is set to push sync or w/e, I have two email accounts and I've disabled the FB/Twitter apps. I'm not overclocked at all either.
Anyone have any insight on this? I'm currently on Build 153. It seems like when I play Music it dies insanely fast. I used to get 12-24 hours on this, even playing music.
Screen shot coming.
Screenshot:
And I haven't done anything today. Sent a few texts, few G+ posts, and talked on the phone for like an hour... And I charged today from 0% to full (6 hours) when I was sleeping. No music, no games.

I have noticed weird activity from "android system" lately too. I run the latest build of MIUI... but I don't notice any crazy battery drain. I'm only down to 90% with it being unplugged for 5 hours, texting a bit, figured out a route with google maps, and some minor XDA browsing.

I agree. The latest miui build is great on battery life even with the optimized ui.
I text from morning until night, every 5 minutes or so a reply is sent. Also wifi is on and using the xda app every now and then.
I woke up at 9 EST and it is now 12 EST. I haven't reached 50% yet.
I have brightness turned all the way down, screen timeout to minimum, and kill apps once they are closed.
It's all about the rom and how you use it really.
You may want to install something like watchdog and have it monitor phone processes. I had something like this happen on stock froyo and it turned out to be the media scan process.
I cleared out my media dirs on the sdcard, and things went back to normal.

+1 on watchdog. I love that app. Its not a blatant task killer, it just gives you good information on your processes and alerts when one regularly comes above your set threshold.
guys, people have reported that updating google maps drains battery. try uninstall the updates, or temporarily remove google maps, then report another day of battery. even if gmaps isnt even showing there, its said to drain battery recently.
My V20 sucks electrons faster than a Hemi sucks hi-test. I am very diligent about shutting down apps when I am done with them and making sure the screen stays off. What I have noticed, though, is that, when I look at the "Apps" to see if there is any single one that seems to really be the biggest offender, I find that Quick Memo + (which I have NEVER even opened) accounts for, sometimes, up to 10% of the battery drain between charges... I always Force Stop it when I am there, but, in a couple hours, it will be reporting that it has used 5% - 10% of the charge. Is there any way to shut the damned app down permanently without rooting (I don't have the time to get that far into the phone...)?

Which v20? If the H918, flash my 6.5 ROM.
If H910, wait for the new update tonight (hopefully).
If US996, flash my 5.5 ROM. (update coming at some point)
If VS995, flash my 5.5 ROM. (update coming at some point)
Each device mentioned has its own thread and ROM+kernel.
It's an H910, locked to AT&T.
You can uninstall quick memo+ though I find it weird that it takes that much battery.
You may also want to look into using greenify which can shutdown apps when the screen gets turned off. Made a huge difference on my son's g4.

i had a really short battery life also until i finally switched to a custom rom now my phone last 12+ hours and that's with being on it a lot. including games,streaming music, video's, and calls,text, and lastly web surfing sometimes. Using a custom ROM really fixed my battery problem maybe you guys should try this also. just a friendly suggestion.
Checked on my h910 and quickmemo+ is indeed taking up a crazy amount. I don't think you can disable or uninstall through system either, going to try Greenify. I really want to root my phone but I'm going to be trading it back to ATT in a year and I need to be able to go back fully to stock.

Capture+ is part of Quickmemo+ so it's probably always loaded and ready to take screenshot. Maybe try removing the shortcut on second screen if it is there?
Hi all,
I am very satisfied with my device except for the battery life. I always had like 3-4 hours SOT. I was not happy but it was OK.
Lately I started charging the device every day after work (I would come home with dead phone after only 8-9 hours of it being unplugged).
So I thought the battery is defective, I must change it... and I did change it yesterday. The thing is that even the new battery behaves almost the same. It approved somewhat and now I will return home with 10% battery instead of dead phone 1 hour ago. But still the battery is terrible...
Can anyone help me, share some advice on how to improve it? I have disabled many software (even facebook), disabled location... did everything I could think of.
I am thinking some app is drawing the juice but cannot put my finger on any of them.
Some screenshots are attached that might help with your tips/advices.
Thanks!

Are you rooted? On nougat? If so get background restrictor APK here on XDA and kill background apps and tasks so they can't run if you do not open them. Lower screen brightness. Install kernel auditor and shut off cores 4 and 8.

uninstall chrome. Then try accubattery (better bcause after android 7, they join all in android system to mask each app consumption. If after this you still can't find out where's the problem, start the phone in "safe mode". Even the consumption is better in this mode you must do a full wipe in recovery mode (vol up+power+home) and after this, reinstall one app each time and see after reinstall the second one and so on until you find out in which app is draining the battery
If you want you can starting by disabling background data in settings but I think isn't the clearer way to find out
This is going to surprise you.
I've had this phone for years and I've tried everything - and the BEST result is when you DON'T DO ANYTHING except disable Facebook and Instagram, and any Google Apps you don't use.
Do not tamper with anything else.
I figure that Samsung tunes this phone so tightly that if you leave it alone it operates as it should.
Anytime I disabled anything else, battery life suddenly and drastically reduced.
The phones runtime software kicks in and if you have disabled something it checks routinely, it will keep the phone awake constantly looking for a ping back from that process.
I just went through the whole process again meticulously, App by App.
Also DO NOT enhanced messaging OR the device antivirus. If you have, you must reset and then train yourself not to engage these too regardless of how hard The phone tries to persuade you!
Then - the battery life becomes like a normal phone which means you'll still need to charge everyday but it will take you through a full heavy day... And this is fantastic!
Honestly try it and you'll see what I mean. The S6 edge plus is so finely tuned, anything you block will start a feedback loop.
I had similiar problems , the way i fixed it, i disabled/uninstalled all samsung applications what i dont use, i disabled/uninstalled all google applications what i dont use. Cold weather (like -20C) will affect the battery life too.
Disable / uninstall apps you dont need. That helped me a lot and got even more battery life while at stock nougat rom with all updates installed.
try wiping cache from recovery and reboot your phone.
I hope this helps you
Apperantly the update to Oreo has come around. How stable is it though, should I wait.
What's your experience?
From a few hours of work with the updated phone i do not see any problems. Performance is the same like on nougat and i am yet to see any bugs. If you like to work with new tch like me - go and get the update. If you are more cautious - wait for a few days and see the feedback before updating.
go ahead buddy, its good, no bugs, same as it was on nougat, 3-4 hours SOT..
Boy, we already waited too long, I just hit update
Are you on 2.21.401.1??
Same Sh1t... Different Day
I updated on my single SIM and there are no problems. Battery life is the same (around 3 hours of SOT). On nougat I had problems with fingerprint reader lately (when turning on the screen, sensor didn't work - when I turn off smartlock, it worked) but now on Oreo there is no problems. Also, automatic "do not disturb" didn't work (worked just first time after reboot) and on Oreo it works.
So I've upgraded and no problems so far.
I didn't reset or anything, just upgraded.
Notification badges however don't really work for any app except for some that came with the ROM.

well, the phone didnt have any major bugs or alot of stuff that are not working i did notice a major hit in bench marks like geek bench the single core score droped to nearly half of what it was before oreo lol but i managed to solve this by unlocking the bootloader which did do a reset for may phone and made it as fast as brand new a normal factory reset from the settings didnt change a thing so ya you can try factory resseting but it didnt work for me. another thing is that when rotating the phone while watching a video on youtube or something there is a bug where the phone takes about 5 to 6 seconds to respond that can be fixed by just restarting your phone . it is a really stupid bug. oh yeah and one more thing if you open the camera app and then press the home button the second screen will still have the camera zoom slider on it until you close the app also there alot of instances where the phone goes from the app to home screen without an animation but again nothing too big all of them are small little bugs
here is a post where is explain how my phones performance got way better after unlocking the bootloader https://forum.xda-developers.com/u-ultra/help/htc-lagging-problem-t3777187

I think it's safe to say the update on single SIM is much better than the one for Dual SIM, right.
My Ultra performs now much better, almost never stutters, consistant speed, and normal battery life. I hoped the google camera worked better on oreo, but it is still slow and unstable. i think the camera 2 implementation is not perfect. tested the gcam ports also on the old lg g5 and there it is almost like on a nexus/pixel.
All in all i'm very satisfied with the update, especially the improved outdoor visability is a nice surprice. but it came way too late and a half year without security patches is a nogo. hope tehy will come now at least every third month again.
So what about the badge notifications for Oreo?
What apps don't get them right?
My battery lately has been draining really fast from doing minor tasks. 2-3 months ago I upgraded to the latest MIUI 11.0.4 and noticed a slight increase in drainage but nothing too concerning. For the past few days though, it has become really bad. An example is how today I charged my phone to 100 percent and within 8 hours it is now already down to 75 as I am writing this post.
What I did:
Charged it.
Left it idle for 4 hours
Browsed some Facebook feed for around 15 minutes
Watched YouTube videos for a total of 15-20 minutes
Left idle again for another 2 hours
Just now spent another 20 browsing some Reddit posts
I usually keep my mobile data as well as the WiFi connection turned off all the time and only turn them on when I need to use the phone. I don't have any IM apps running in the background all the time syncing messages except Kik and Snapchat for whom I've set a battery saving modes to close whenever not in use but again, like I said my internet connection is always switched off. I keep my screen brightness low all the time as well btw.
I usually charge it as soon as it goes down to 30-40%
Pretty sure tomorrow after a whole day of work having it sit idle and then doing some minor internet browsing its gonna drop to 30-40.
Here's a screenshot of my battery stats:

Not sure if this is normal as I remember it draining way slower than it does nowadays. I know that this phone is known for having a good battery life. Any suggestions on what I should do? Is there warranty for the battery in case it turns out to be faulty? I've been using this phone for a little over 6 months now.
I have terrible wakelock on 11.0.4.0.
Non rooted and I want to keep it like this.
Is it a common issue and should I go back to MIUI 10?

Hi, bro!
I had this wakelock in all versions (Android 8 or 9) I tried several times to find out which app does this, installing monitors made for it and so far nothing ... But yesterday I reset my RN7 and the wakelock didn't come back. I imagine it is an app that has not yet performed the initial configuration.
switch aosp(no gapps recommended)
i get 12 hours plus sot

Multiple apps. Of course I tried to fix it by deleting a couple of apps such as restricting the background activity in the most of the rest but I only succeeded to reduce the wakelock from 98% to 50%. The bad thing is, that if You do hard reset it's a temporary solution. Wakelock will return in maximum one month. So what is the solution? Returning to Miui 10 or AOSP rom if You want to run latest Android version?
