LG G2 - Android system battery drain

[mount.zed]

I read that there is a know camera bug with KitKat that people with Skype are having KitKat giving you battery drain problems? Try uninstalling Skype, says Google as it prepares a fix | ZDNet

Try deleting Skype if you have it and see if that might be the issue

Here's my latest. Does anybody know what's going with the battery consumption on the model phone since KitKat?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

I haven't used Skype in awhile but it is installed. I'll uninstall and let you know if it helps.

Thnx...

I would try rebooting it and letting the os settle in. My lg g2 did the same thing when I first got it. I'm on 4.2.2 though.

sysopchris,
obviously you kernel and Google services are out of control. I would back up your data and do a factory reset, especially since u say it started after upgrading to kit Kat. sometimes a clean install is best, even with an upgrade.

I was afraid that the possible fix would be to do that. Won't be the first time. I am curious about something. What version will the factory reset install? When I upgraded to KitKat 4.4.2 did my 'restore image' also get modified?

You'll stay on KitKat after a reset

Thank you for the info. but unfortunately since I noticed this change in battery behavior I have already done just that.

Ok, interesting, then I have to wonder if a factory reset will alleviate the problem I'm having. Since reading the suggestion I have been backing up the phone using the PC LG software and also my media.

Finally both back-ups are finished (LG software back-up & media) so after restoring the OS I'll be happy to post my results in the hope that someone can determine the problem that apparently I am not the only one dealing with.

Restore thru LG PC Suite is complete after factory reset. I'll give GSam time to collect data and post screen captures here tomorrow. Is that enough time? If this gets my battery life to pre - 4.4.2 then I want thank everyone who's posted in this thread.
BTW: This was my first (and hopefully last) factory restore after upgrading to 4.4.2 and it's put me at; Android Version 4.4.2 & Kernel version 3.4.0.

Regards,
Chris
