LG G4 battery life

How are you guys experiencing the battery life? I had 100% at 12 PM now it's 3:23 PM and it's on 64%. I haven't even used the phone that much, 1 hour screen time only. I don't feel like this reflects the size of the battery (3000mah)
I have it on lowest brightness, I always kill the apps right after use and it just keeps draining fast.

Hard to say. Personally, I'm struggling and I can't get over 3 hours SOT. I own other phones and I do that routinely. Other people are getting ridiculous SOT, so I guess its all subjective. This thread should help answer your question.

I switched to the G4 from the Xperia Z1, I loved the battery life of the Z1. Now 3 hours of SOT is really a struggle, I don't think that's good at all..

This is my first day off use after a full charge, I'm pretty happy so far.
I've been unplugged for 7 hours and I'm at 46%.
2.5 hours of screen time
With the screen off:
1.25 hours of phone calls over Bluetooth
1 hour of listing to music over Bluetooth
Connected to my Moto360 the entire time

I got 3 hours and 46 minutes of SOT from 100 to 0, I had 0% brightness most of the time and only had wifi and 4g on, nothing else. This kind of upsets me, those are not good stats at all...

The battery needs a good few days and a few cycles of discharge and charge for it to become most effective. Wait a week before making any conclusive decisions on battery usage.
Bear in mind this is a large hi-res display, so watch your brightness if you want to save battery.
For me battery life has been great. I easily get a full day out of it with around 3 hours SOT and medium usage.

Wow. I'm pretty jealous of you. When i got my LG G4, on my second day, it only lasted for about 8 hours!!! Even though i had Bluetooth off, data off, 3/4G off, location off, battery saver on and brightness on auto. I am so disappointed with my phone as i am having to charge it in the day and sometimes through the night and i've only had it for a month.

Screen on
Can LG G4 screen on over 4h?

I am having great battery life

Good battery life
Getting through a working day easily. It could even last longer if I was more careful about closing the apps and all those usual battery saving tips. I just leave most of the stuff on... Bluetooth, WiFi, Location... Screen brightness is set on auto and it's plenty bright for my use even outdoors. :good:

Did you even look at screen shots posted in this thread? And SOT varies greatly depending on usage. One person may get 4.5 hours, while another only gets 2.5.

Impressive screen in time!

I'm very impressed with the screen on time so far on this phone! I am getting on average 7+ hours of SOT which is so much better than any Android phone I have ever used. Anyone else having great battery life on this phone?

Wuuuuuut, 7hrs is astonishing

I also got couple days ago almost same. It was 6hours and still 28% battery left. WiFi & BT off, GPS at battery saver mode. Power consumption mode was performance and using LTE/4G. Lot of better than example Huawei P9.

I dont know either. Im really suprised. Havent ever seen phone with 3000mah battery and this great battery life. Dont know how much better is Li-Po battery than Li-Ion. Manufacters started using Li-Po's on this year after Q1/2. Ofcourse i think that newer battery type (Li-Po) would be also better but questions is how much better it is on paper?

This 1% drop overnight was in ultra mode? Or did you leave everything ON and just locked the screen? Because I'm dropping more than 1%, but that's with wifi on. Next night I'm gonna see how it goes in ultra mode overnight.

Battery life is good yes I most often get 6 hours screen on time in 1½-2 days usage.

I am also getting really really good Battery life. 5-6 hours of screen on time with 20% battery remaining. I will post pics later. Last night i took a screen shot and had 3:28mins screen on time with 48% battery left. I am also amazed. some reviews stated battery life was great, but others only average. I can say for certain this is GREAT. I am in the middle power mode. There is so much autonomy on app controls that you can create your own battery life destiny pretty easily. So for so awesome

how you get this great battery time i usually only get between 4-5h of screen on time. Awesome tho for you guys, might be some app i'm using

Battery life discussion

Let's see how that 4000 mAh battery, EMUI optimization, and Nougat stack up! Post your screenshots, of graph and screen on time.

4th day with my mate 9, it isn't as good as the mate 8 but still very decent. Hopefully emui will be tuned better by huawei. Mostly on wifi today. Lots of WhatsApp and watched some NBA highlights.

Pretty good I think, WiFi on almost all the time

Hi ! My battery life : chrome, YouTube, vidéo and music player, Facebook, greader, tapatalk... No gaming, gps, camera...
Coming from Sony Xperia z2 with 5h30 -6h30 SOT , I am very happy with this phone
View attachment 3957838
View attachment 3957840

I get an average of 7.5-8.5 hours of SoT depending on my signal. I heavily use email, social media apps, messaging apps, and other internet browsing. GPS navigation usage as well. Most of the time on 50% brightness.

Hi my mate 9' battery consumption level for the software section is way higher than you guys do, escpecially for the android system, over 35%. Can anyone help me?

Can you tell me if the B135 firmware already have the camera improvements? Thank you.

One mistake I did was to use Google Backup restore from my previous phone. I ended up with a heavily battery drained phone. Google Cal Sync killed the phone, and many Samsung, CM, and Google apps that were not needed (Dialer, Contacts, Calculator, Calendar, Camera, etc..) ended up in the phone, causing a huge drain. I had to do a factory-reset and start fresh and only install the really needed apps. I highly recommend against doing a full restore from google when moving between phones.

Well, I was verry happy I did.
So it's not the same for everyone.

i updated to B135 out of the box, so no comparison to earlier version.

I'm finding excellent battery life. Yesterday I used it frequently throughout the day (email, text, FB and interweb) and listened to music wirelessly and still has 30% remain at bedtime. Superb phone.

After updating my MHA-AL00 to B137, I am getting even better SOT about 8.5h with 18% juice left after a heavy whole day use, including 4-hour youtube streaming. very happy with the battery life now.

This phone is ridiculously ridiculous! 7 hours sot with 50% remaining. Mostly on wifi though. All the time on 4g gives me over 11 hours sot.
This includes overnight sleep where I lost 2%
Great thing about the phone is the awake stats look exactly the same as screen on stats, that's excellent, phone is fast asleep when screen is off. GPS on all the time.
Finally, this is the phone I've been waiting for. No longer afraid to use it

This was my in normal use, no games, only read email, web browsing, tapatalk etc.. Really good for this great display and shows again, that Huawei make it right to use an FullHD instead of a QuadHD display.

Today not as good battery life. 5 hours sot with 60% left, so probably 6 hours at 50% left.
That's nothing to complain about at all. Have to say I don't game much at all. When I do battery plummets. Still good though

Battery Life

Hey guys,
how's your battery life going? I'm rather pleased with it so far. This is my first day with the phone on stock with no mods or special battery apps.
Can you guys recommend a battery app to restrict background leeching?
Cheers

Screen-on time? I got on my first charge 30hrs. off the charger and 5,5 hrs. SOT with 7% left.

From 92% to 10%, with hardcore installing, making nearly 100 photos and some videos, and gaming, running tests, im get more than 4 hour SoT.
Stock OS, no mods.

On wifi or 4g?

60% left, 3.2h sot, only wifi (no sim card), location on

First full cycle. Im pretty pleased with the battery. Stock rom and kernel. Magisk as root and no battery saving apps. Didnt even use battery saver once it hit 15%.
7hr sot with moderate usage. A little bit on clash of clans. quite a bit of web browsing on chrome. Used facebook, messenger, tandem and other apps quite a bit. Also used wifi 90% of the time and LTE the other

Naw, normal day, mix (wifi and 4g).
It's about the same like 3T but I will sell it.

Very impressed with battery backup.
First charge (full) since I received the device, everything stock.
Medium to high usage over 36-38 hours, setting up, installing apps, gaming a little, videos, browsing. Mostly on WiFi, maybe a couple of hours on 4G:
15% battery remaining

After today's oxygen update my battery has gotten significantly better. It may also be a case of the battery settling in after a few days. I went from losing 30% in 2 hours idle in my pocket yesterday to losing 30% in 9 hours using it throughout work today. Color me impressed. And this is coming from the Moto Z play. A battery beast!!!

Screen on time

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 Poco X3 NFC before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

the battery of the phone is garbage... imho
5000 mah and the screen time is 5-6 hours.
trhe problem is the display that drain all the charge. i see the battery information right now 6 hours of screen , 92% of display battery usage, all the rest are applications and system. hope that xiaomi and poco will fix something.

That's really disappointing. I had a oneplus one with a similar display and similar on screen time. But with a much smaller battery. I expected at least 8 hours of screen time for poco x3.

Guys yesterday I achieved 4.15 hours of sot with 50% battery left. 50/50 WiFi and 4g, heavy usage. With 120hz.

yea, exactly... on pocophone f1 i pushed around 9 10 hours.. easily .. i gues more optimisation is needed, i dont believe that 845 ifs more efficient than 732g .. cmon its 5000mah battery this thing should last at least 11-12 h sot

i get now 81 % and 1:30 sot on wifi auto brightness 120 hz its not bad but battery its 5k check it in accu and it show 5160 so its not the battery maybe its that 120hz
But some ppl are reporting really nice sot around 10h is there any chance to check our screen manufacturer maybe Xiaomi use few different panels in poco 3 in check hw info app form gp and service menu but i can't find this info.

Usual for me is 6-7 hrs sot with 50% left
120hz activated
So the battery is awesome

According to AccuBattery I got about 12h SOT, thats about what I expected.
Medium usage, 120hz activated, energy saving off.
I guess the adaptive refreshrate helps a lot to save energy, e.g. it quite instantly drops to 30hz if watching a normal Youtube video.

It's strange this problem, 90% of display battery usage, it's a bug ? a global problem ?

After the update I have better battery endurance, 51% left with 5 hours SOT and just a tiny charging time during the day.

If someone has a battery issue you can try what i just did yesterday. Go to about the phone and update click in the right upper corner and click download newest update or something like that it will download full 2.4 gb rom and after that just do the update, maybee that 240 mb was quack
Now i have pretty decent sot i think but its only the begining

Battery for now seems really good
Played some light games, wifi always ON
edit:
120hz OFF
sync OFF
MIUI optimizations OFF on dev settings
I was indoors alot so brightness was probably low
I'll post again with 5-10% battery

Hi. What kind of usage?
---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------
I'm a little disappointed for the battery life of this Poco X3. At least for me: with normal usage, under wifi, social and messaging apps, with 60hz refresh rate I get maximum 6/7hrs SoT. I hope it will be optimize in next updates.
