G3 Battery Life experience. Whats yours?

[Almeuit]

Will do, but is that a normal thing to have to do?

Not usually. Whenever I saw the Google Play services issue I would reboot my phone and it would usually solve it.

I hear McAfee is a big battery and resource hog. I am assuming you disabled it?

Do you need to root to be able to do that?

 

[bigkevbosky]

At 100% brightness you won't get as much SOT as on the G2. But it KILLS the Nexus 5, obviously.

 

[brewzer]

Do you need to root to be able to do that?

Yes, you will need to root your G3 before you can remove McAfee.

Wow that really kills any chance of me getting a G3, McAfee is one of the worst things that ever happened to security.

 

[JediJesus95]

You might not be able to uninstall McAfee but you should be able to disable it.

No McAfee on the T-Mobile version Lookout Security is present but it can be disabled.

You have to have a hung/loose process running in the background that's burning the juice almost as fast as you can draw it. Reboot.

I had the same issue but I was using my old Samsung S3's charger. When I started using the one that came with the phone, it charges from almost dead to 100% in about 1 hour to 1 and a half. Don't use your old G2 charger (even if it is same amp) if you are and use the one that came with your G3.

Mine is very quick to charge. If it is charging that site check what's running in the background and restart phone.

Slow*

LG wants you to get your nine hours

Figured it out! The charger that comes with the phone is crap! 1.8Amp is garbage, I got into my car at 10:01 with 60% at 10:20 it was at 80% and that's a car charger on 2.4Amp charger! So I ordered now a 2.4Amp charger from Amazon!!!

I get the 4.5 to 5 hours screen time which was the same as my s5 except I get a better screen 3gb of ram and 32gb of storage plus SD support and fifty bucks cheaper. No brainer. I can see running this the entire year. Sammy got cheap on this iteration of the Galaxy and pulled an apple on what you get versus price.

Personal preference always prevails, but how is ip67, better camera, battery, screen, heart rate monitor and fingerprint scanner over the s4 "pulling an apple"?

My sprint s3 lasts only an 30 mins-1 hour on normal usage. When I am not using it, it will last 2 hours. It sucks

We also can't forget, many users are just picking up this phone so they will be using it all the time. 5 hours of screen on time is pretty good considering it's a 1440p screen.

No. You have either a defective charger or defective cable. If your car charger cable is removable please try it with the stock charger. This is a common problem that happens randomly with new phones and has nothing to do with amperage.
