this is exactly my situation.. phone works wonderfully in the city and on the way out there, it's literally (figurative? I always forget) as soon as pull in the driveway you can almost hear the battery being sucked dead. Reminds me of a car commercial years ago when the guy pulls up in the...

just a quick update regarding Accuweather, I took it off the phone, but alas, no improvement :(

Try switching your network mode to "GSM Only", this is what Rogers told me regarding this situation where it's overheating due to the antenna struggling to get and keep LTE service where the towers either don't support it or are far away. I too have had my phone replaced with the exact same...

Upgrade to MM killed my phone when I'm at a location that the towers don't support LTE. I'm on Rogers and after the upgrade to MM from LP and even on the replacement phone they sent me, when I'm at a location that does not support LTE, my phone gets very hot and the battery life tanks to about 3...

Jayell.. Try switching your network to "GSM Only". In my discussions with Rogers on this exact subject, they said it's because the towers by our cabin (where I get ****tastic battery life) don't support LTE and the phone is struggling for a signal. When I switch to GSM Only, my usage goes from...

Yes, switching to "GSM Only" does extend the battery life back to what I see in the city. it just sucks that I have a fancy cutting edge phone with the latest and greatest software, and I have to cripple it back to 1980's technology :(

Re: Battery Life is very poor when in location with weeker signal will take off AccuWeather and replace with Weather network. Accuweather was sort of useless with it's silly comments like "it's cold out side, bundle up", I live in Winnipeg.. IT'S ALWAYS COLD OUTSIDE IN JANUARY!!!!

Re: Battery Life is very poor when in location with weeker signal tried that, made no difference :( even turned it off and the battery life was still horrible

Just to clarify.. This is on an LG4 running Marshmallow. My wife's LG3, sitting right next to it, running Kitkat is getting the exact same single strength and is having absolutely no issue. That and my LG4 was just fine when I first got it when it was running Kitkat, but since the upgrade, it's...

Yes. Ever since the upgrade on the first phone and the replacement phone came with marshmallows on it. Does anyone know if this is just an LG issue or are other brands experiencing the same issue? LG just wants me to send the phone in agail so they can reset it for the sixth time 😬

here is a screen shot of the battery life. Note the flat spot, that's when I switch to GSM Only, the rest of the time it's on the other network modes as I cycled through the options
