35% Battery Left, Only 1.5hrs Screen On Time

[scoutconnor]

I do not know if I am doing something wrong, but whole others here are reporting 5+ hours of screen on time, I am getting significantly less.
Is this something I should be concerned about?

Can you post battery stats? Hard to know what the issue is if we can't see what it is you're doing. SoT highly depends on what you do with your phone and what settings you may have on or off

This. We would need to see the stats before we can have an idea as to what is causing your drain.

It is on the low side, how many hours of sleep during the 65%?

Isn't that what the guy you quoted pretty much said?

He is just further emphasizing the importance of battery stats.

Pretty much yes -- But I was just explaining we need those to help troubleshoot his issues since other things besides SoT could be eating up his battery.

Tiny battery combined with untested lollipop = major problems.

Well, this tiny battery has been outperforming my new G4 all week long and that's with a 3000mAh battery.

I bought the G4 last Friday and I'm giving it just a couple of more days, if it doesn't get better it will go back to T-mobile, best battery life since last Friday has been 5.25 hours of SoT with same settings, apps and syncing apps than my S6 edge and with same conditions my S6 Edge has always giving me no less than 6 hours of SoT on Weekends for 2 months now, and averaging 5.25-5.5 of SoT on Weekdays when I use my Android Wear and have the Bluetooth on All day. Best SoT with the G4 during this past days has been 4.75 but averaging about 4-4.25 SoT, with the worst day in years this Monday when I was all day on the road and I got 3.5 hours where my edge has always giving me around 5 hours.

I like the G4, but it is slower than the S6 using same apps, has shown some lags where the S6 has nothing and the battery is the main thing that is making me considering getting it back, no sense for me to pay for a phone with less battery having the S6 collecting dust. It has been best LG to date, but still short compared to the best Samsung phone to date.

Back to the battery life, this experience with tons of others around all the Forums of all devices with Lollipop confirms that this is not a Samsung problem, this is Google's (lollipop) problem and yes, the battery on the S6/edge could have been bigger, but for me it has shown enough proof that they were "almost" right and their processor, Memory and display combo are a killer and even with that "tiny" battery it's outperforming other devices with bigger ones. (If you are not suffering from one of the infamous Lollipop battery bugs)

My use from yesterday is not representative of my usual battery drain (down 80% in an hour with less than 5 minutes of use thanks to email trying to sync).
I'll post my battery stats after it fully charges (which it struggles to do on my qi charger, even more so if it has a case on) and I am able to use it for a day.
My phone does get unusually warm if that makes any difference.
