The heat and lack of battery life could be a rogue app keeping the phone constantly awake.06-26-2015 10:08 AMLike 0 -
- No heat issues at all with mine, but enough reports out there to verify something is going on. Only reasons I can think of are:
- I did a factory reset right out of the box, before setting anything up. Don't blame you one bit if you don't want to go there, especially if you've got things all set up to your liking.
- Disabled some of the Verizon & LG bloat.
- I don't have any games loaded.
- Just got lucky...
Hope you're able to solve the issue without too much fuss.06-26-2015 10:34 AMLike 0 - I did a factory reset out of the box as well, and another to try to fix a Bluetooth audio distortion issue (which did seem to resolve itself with the reset). My phone seems to get very warm with Chrome use. I'm happy to try other browsers if they function the same. I tried Dolphin briefly last night and it didn't appeal to me.
I haven't disabled any bloatware. Happy to do so, though. Any suggestions on which particular apps to disable?
Edit to add....this is my first phone without a case, so its entirely possible I'm more sensitive to heat, especially coming off the back of the phone. I can't swear that this phone gets any warmer than my LG G3.06-26-2015 10:48 AMLike 0 - Mine will get warm every once in a while but not to where it concerns me but will do a restart and that tends to calm it down. I'm a fairly heavy user depending on what my day is so I'm not certain it's a app thing versus nonstop usage.06-26-2015 11:01 AMLike 0

I would disable chrome, try chrome dev, and use Access Lock to restrict the keep awake permission. That way it can't run in the background.
I have leather so no case here either but I rarely feel any real heat. Maybe a little when charging or gaming but certainly not when using apps or surfing the web.
For bloat, you can disable whatever you don't use in app manager in settings. For those that don't allow you to disable in app manager, you can try the debloater tool I made a thread about to disable those.KPMcClave likes this.06-26-2015 11:01 AMLike 1 - I did a factory reset out of the box as well, and another to try to fix a Bluetooth audio distortion issue (which did seem to resolve itself with the reset).

Not sure if any of these will resolve your issue, but if you don't actually use them it certainly can't hurt to disable them.KPMcClave likes this.06-26-2015 01:04 PMLike 1 -
My battery life has also been a source of frustration, but in an unusual way. I have had good sceen on time, but bad overall life (something like almost 5 hours average SoT, but only average 11 hours of full battery life). It makes no sesne.
One thing I've been watching is in my battery stats under Android OS. The kept awake time was seemingly way too high. I have a hunch it may have at elast something to do with our phones on Vz, but can't say that conclusively. Check yours and let me know what you have for that. Since Advanced Calling 1.0 is unique to us, I have turned that off to see if that is the culprit.06-28-2015 02:54 PMLike 0 -
- OK, here are some screen shots from my Verizon LG G4. Light usage. Screen on 50%, non-auto. Just 3 hours SOT. Nowhere near what others are getting.

If you wanted 5 hours SOT you could get it but your up time would be about 12 hours most likely.06-30-2015 12:02 AMLike 0 -
Unless you are making huge sacrifices in the way you want to use your phone, then I personally would be satisfied with those results. But that's me.
The more standby time you use, the less SOT you are going to get.06-30-2015 01:01 AMLike 0 - Because I have a slightly limited plan (and I hate Amazon apps) I disabled most of the background data functions. This will cut down on the push notifications, but I don't like them anyway (OK, I'm a dinosaur - I like my phone to talk to me when I want to). It will also cut down on the time the 4GLTE radio & phone processor is running.
I don't have screen shots, but go to:
Settings, Data Usage and it will list the usage by each app for your service period. You can click on an app, and disable background data. For some, you can go directly to app settings. I disabled everything I didn't want a push notification from. Not only is my phone fast, but the battery only gets hot while I'm charging.06-30-2015 06:13 PMLike 0
