Phone idle battery drain

[pazzo02]

Is anyone else noticing Phone Idle is draining an inordinate amount of battery? It seems like it's only been going on for a few weeks. It's pretty consistently using 30+% daily, and is always the top of the list. Tried restarting, no change.

It does seem to amount to nearly 2% per hour.

Hmm, that's strange. Perhaps the battery is still taking time to adjust to usage patterns? It'd be helpful to see other users' SOT and standby time to compare.

Do you use the "Smart Cleaning" LG app? I use it once a week to clear out crap that may be causing issues.

That's a really good idea!

I will try that. Thanks.

Just an update - the Smart Cleaning app did not solve the battery drain.

I feel like standby time has stabilized and increased significantly over the last couple of weeks.

Ridiculous battery life yesterday. Check out that screen on time.

Good lord, you're staring at your phone for 8+ hours in less than one day!!?? No wonder battery is draining.

Yeah, terrible I know. Not even sure how that happened.
