So i got my g6 h870 10 months ago, and the battry life has been pretty solid. I've read about a lot of people having problems with the battery life on their g6, but i haven't had the problem on my phone, until now.
The past couple of days, my g6 has had horrific battery life. As you can see on the screenshots, netflix drained 42% of battery, while only being used for 20 minutes. I've only got 3 hours of SOT and I've had to charge my phone twice today.
It was also hot.
I've tried searching the web for answers, but they were all outdated, or not specific to my device.
Why is my battery life so bad on my g6, and what can i do to stop it?
Sorry for the question, but what theme are you using on your lg g6 ??

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)
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.
VS995, Rooted, been running WETA since last January.
------------
About 2 months ago I noticed whenever my phone got to 15% battery left when I plugged it in it would reboot. I ignored the issue for a while because I rarely let it get that low.
Recently though I notice my battery life getting very bad. Insanely bad. Not even 2 hours of SOT, dying in 3 hours just using hotspot with no SOT. Losing 10% in a few minutes of active use sometimes.
So I tried some battery calibration apps, tried recharging to 100% and draining again. Tried wiping battery stats. Tried different ROMS.
I flashed desolation ROM tonight and the battery life seems to be really good on it but it ended up shutting off at 24% left.
Battery apps say my battery is in good health, but I'm wondering if the battery itself is bad? Any tips or advice or help of any kind is appreciated. Thanks

I just wanted to make sure because I've never experienced this issue before. I even hand my smartphones down to my mother and they tend to get over 2 years of use and I've never had to buy new batteries. Thanks for the feedback
If it drops from 24% to 0 then im pretty sure its a damaged battery try it ypu can buy it for less than 20 dollars on ebay
If it drops gradually in standby you could have also a battery drain bug but this is not the case here
So I finally went through it and bought a G6. It arrived 3 days ago and since I booted up, I immediately got an update to 1st January security patch; V10u-IND. So it's been 2 whole days since I've properly started using my phone (how I used to, on previous device) and the battery life sucks balls. I can barely get through a day with maximum 2.5 hours of SOT. Even the charging is so slow. Takes about 2.5 hours to charge from 10% to 100%; Ampere shows 820mA.
I ordered a QC 3.0 Aukey adapter+Cable to see if my charging improves using that. Can someone help me with this disappointing battery life? I see so many other users getting such good battery life. I don't know what it is with mine.
I've attached some screenshots below.
Anyway, thanks a lot.
Edit: Even with a single SIM, battery life was same.

Use BBS for some days and post results.
Looking to the graph it seems that you used the phone under mobile network, is it true? G6 and V30 suffer of huge battery drain on mobile network when the signal gets weaker.
That's why you see G6 with good battery life, under WiFi is always easy to reach 4+ hours of SOT even with gaming, but under mobile network it drops to 2-3 hours.

I am a college student so for around 6 hours my 4G is on. I still don't get it why LG hasn't worked on improving the battery under weak signals. This same problem was on LG G3.
Anyway, I'll post some BBS results after a few days. Thanks a lot.
Hello.
So i have had this issue for that past 6 months or so.
I bought my galaxy s8 upon release and the battery was great at the time. After some time of course i can expect the life to degrade. But it is horrible now.
I experimented with custom roms and stuff and it just got worse and worse and i tried a lot of different roms. My expected screen on time was 5 hours which is pretty normal.
After some time i only get like 3 hours a day and the standby drain was awful. Once a time i tried to go with stock rom and i got like 2 hours sot and a standby drain that was crazy. I use greenify to close apps in background.
My usage is normally messenger, facebook some times. Its mostly closed by greenify. I watch youtube browse the web and play simple games that doesnt need a lot of processing power to run.
Is it my battery thats very bad? I also experienced in the cold like 0 degrees celcious that my phone just died when it had like 25 percent.
Should i get battery replacement or whats the best option here? Currently running teamexykings lightrom for my galaxy s8 exynos
Same issue, I replaced the battery when fixing the cracked screen, didnt see any improvement even with the new battery
You can try if you want replacing the battery, but I believe its the software issue.
