Day 10 on G3 - A Few Problems

[HollyDolly]

Screen is just a complete battery muncher, and it's only set to 42% brightness

I only just put the SD card in, but the battery issue has been ongoing since day 1. As for rogue app, what other ways can I discover it without resetting phone? I've been on Chrome for the past hour and my charge has gone down 30%. Crazy.

Delete it Uninstall the Facebook app, that is a known battery killer. Better to login from a browser.

Get gsm battery monitor and do a hard reset

I just installed GSam battery monitor and here's what it looks like. Seems, aside from the screen, Android is hogging resources...WTH?

I wouldn't get worried about the Android system usage. The battery monitor only had 3 minutes worth of data. Even the battery monitor app took 13% (the most) in that 3 minutes. You need an average days' of use to gather good data. And depending on your 'screen on time', any screen will be a battery hog. Some phones are just worse than some.

Thanks, but never had this issue on my Moto X. I don't want a phone where all the major apps have to be deleted so that it'll live up to its promise of "great battery life," you know?

I'm assuming this phone is worse than others, for sure. I haven't charged my Moto X since yesterday and I still have 30% battery left on it (and I use it for everything else BUT calls). My LG G3 is down to 23% and it's only been unplugged for 7 hours with minimal use. I'd never last out and about with this kind of battery life.

Try using DU Battery battery saver. It has many options to help you monitor and manage battery drain, 1 of the best battery apps I've found. Also try keeping your screen at 25% or less while indoors. All the issues your having point to an app issue, hope you find the culprit!

Yea, no problem in trading it out but that gives me 3 days under 14 day return policy and I'm traveling next week.

I think Verizon and Sprint stores do it for a year.

With at&t after 14 days, you have to go to a Device Repair Center.

So after some tech stuff with Sprint for the past 45 minutes, it seems my phone might be faulty or it's just LG in this area. No idea, but I've tried everything else, except switch out the phone for another, which I won't have time to do now as I'm traveling in 2 days. Thanks, everyone, for the help.

I use CM Browser in full screen mode just for Facebook. It works a treat and feels just like the Facebook app - no address bar, just pure Facebook. Add m.facebook.com to the home screen via the CM Browser menu and it will always open in CM Browser rather than Chrome. I tried Tinfoil but couldn't get check-in to work at all.

The low memory warning refers to RAM, not storage space. You may have a rogue app/apps that is/are using up your RAM.

Just swap the phone for another. Simple

Really bad luck. I have my new LG G3 for one week and I can say is a great phone. Impressive screen, good battery, fast... I agree with the opinion of one rebel app causing some kind of trouble or incompatibility with another one.
