What are your average SOT numbers and does it get you through a day?

My battery life is 3 hours on my new LG V10. I have the same apps that were on my Note 4. It got about 8 hours. Something is going on with the software on my phone. It gets real hot while draining fast. I suggest people contact LG by email or phone to make them aware of the problem. The more people that contact them the more likely it is that they address it in the next software update. Battery life is the only downside for the V10. The should of added a Ultra Power Saver Mode like in the samsung or extended mode like in HTC phones. The battery saver mode in the LGs don't do anything and don't make a difference.
I spent about an hour on the phone with T-Mobile trying to return this phone because of it's horrendous battery life, and at the end, when I didn't feel like pulling the trigger on the restock fee, I sat down and looked at some things running. I turned off the T-Mobile Notifications and the battery life has improved a huge amount. Seems like T-Mobile is making the T-Mobile variant horrible. I really like everything else about it.
If your phone gets hot and is draining that fast, you have a rogue app. Try using safe mode and see if the phone gets hot.
Also post some screenshots of battery life. Probably be able to identify the issue.
There's nothing wrong with LG's software causing the problem. My V10 gets 5+ hours SOT every day and never gets hot.
Thanks for the suggestion. I did a screenshot and noticed a T-mobile app using 15%! Sure enough, after I disable the "T-Mobile My Account" app, my phone is now cool as ICE! You would never believe how bad it was. 3 hours was overestimating....maybe 2.5 hours. A regular phone charger couldn't barely charge it. Only a fast charger could and that was a slow charge! geez. Looks like my problem may finally fixed. I also had the apps notification unchecked and 2 widgets created. I don't know what exactly about the T-mobile app, but my phone hasn't got warm since i shut this app down and cleared everything in it! Thanks!
