Battery life

[Jmathewg]

After being on the phone with tmobile for 16 mins and 9 seconds my battery went from 99% to 81%.
Any thoughts?

You have a weak signal.

It's not normal to have that high battery drain, no matter what you do with your phone..

You may be able to achieve that kind of drain at 100% brightness, 10+ push services enabled and running with a very weak LTE signal using GPS in Ingress or a 3d game like that.

Under "Battery Use Details" list the top 3 or so. For example, mine:
Screen 40%
Android OS 10%
Phone Idle 8%
and Usage on Battery 6 h 52 min, 6% use

My battery seems working OK but suddenly there is huge drop in no time....

Is someone else having such issues?

My phone has recently started doing horribly on battery life. It's not the 5.0 update because I've been running it since sprint ota.

Tomorrow will make a week since I bought my g3 new from T-Mobile and battery life has been disappointing. In standby, my battery life is great but when the screen is on, it just drains quickly. I keep screen at 40%. I'm not doing anything resource intensive. Ibe performed a factory data reset and it didn't change anything.

Hows your signal - data and voice? My guess 5.01 is using way too much resources when a signal is marginal, and/or with certain routers.

My battery has tanked since lollipop on verizon.

If you installed the Lollipop update and haven't done a system reset, you should. Just back up your settings using the LG tool in settings and it will be easy to get your phone back to how you had it.

It cleaned up the battery drain and few other glitches on my G3.

My signal is always decent but the sprint optimizers are what is causing my troubles I believe.
