LG G3 Amazing battery life!

Re: Amazing battery life!

That's actually not as good as you think.
Add up the usage time and estimated time and you get 24:33
Seems like the LG G3 battery only lasts one solid day.
Trust me I have debloated the heck out of this thing and still have issues with battery drain.
However, before I rooted and debloated I got a solid 3-4 days off one charge.
I had all google stuff disabled though and deleted what I could stock.

I think honestly, most people don't care about charging it every night while they sleep, just during the day while they are out. Up in the morning and to bed, works for most, no one really needs a 2 day battery, though it would be nice. Then again its a point of USB Charge packs.

Battery life is good under steady use

Re: Amazing battery life!

I read most people do leave it on the charger over night.
It is the best way to fully charge the battery too.
 
Re: Amazing battery life!

From the looks of it, you do not have good battery time.
Looks like you are getting about 15:30 hours total.
Not good at all.

Where do you see that? It says he's been off battery for 10.5 hours and he has an estimated 14 hours left. That's more than 24 hours.
 
Re: Amazing battery life!

I think you are confused, I replied to stevovr and his total time is 15:33 hours.
The orginal poster Dark has 24:30 total.
Both of these guys phones are not lasting much more than a day.
Also Dark has not been "off" battery, that's the time he has had the phone on and in use since off the charger.
You need to get better acquainted with android before you or anyone else thinks they are getting great battery life.

I dont claim to be a battery life expert, but stevovr is over 5 hours of screen on time, with 38% battery remaining. I'd say that's pretty good....
 
Re: Amazing battery life!

That's is 5 hours of screen "ON" time during the total 15:33 hours it has been off the charger.
That is not good and anyone can get that SOT.

care to share some screen shots of your screen on time?
 
Re: Amazing battery life!

When I root..what voids my warranty? And if I don't want to root anymore, how do I unroot?

You just flash stock... there's plenty of tools to accomplish that fact. And your warranty gets unvoided at that point. The G3 only has a root checker on the bootloader, not an infernal flash counter like on a Samsung....So if you needed to RMA your phone, or trade it in, you can roll it way back to the beginning... no worse for wear.

Now, there are other reasons to flash back to stock.... say to take an OTA after you've mucked your phone around and it'd fail to update.... then you'd have to use something like Titanium Backup to dump your apps and data and copy that off before flashing stock (it COMPLETELY wipes your phone).

But as long as you can turn the phone on, you should be able to get it back to bone stock.
 
My screen off time is set to 1 minute. If my screen is on the phone is in use emailing, Web surfing, up and downloading, pics, docs etc the occasional game(pocket rally at the mo) watching TV or movie. I certainly don't just set my screen to stay on and look at my lovely home screen.

Re: Amazing battery life!

I will gladly post pictures of my battery stats once I get things sorted out to the best it can be on my G3.
I just ordered a 3850mAh battery and it should be here today.
However I am going to have to do three full charge cycles on it to get normal battery stats.
Once I get things sorted out on the stock battery I will post its battery stats.
Then I will test the new battery and perform its first time charging cycles.
After that I will post those battery stats.
This will take some time as I have not perfected my system settings on the G3 to what I call good battery time.
One day is not good battery use and should be considered normal.
Three to five days is what good battery usage is and is only done by tinkering with the phones setup.
It is not done by just using apps like greenify or other battery savers that do more harm than good.
There is a lot more to the android OS than just closing foreground and background processes.
Things like receivers always restart the apps when you do something on the phone.
Google always listens to everything single thing you do on android.
That is why google services uses a lot of battery.
Right now I am working on finding out what packages I can disable or delete in the android OS.
Android OS and Android system are always at the top of my battery stats.

Will keep all posted.
 
The screen off time you set has nothing to do with anything really.
You got that SOT while you were doing all the stuff you did.
No one leaves there screen on all day, but if they did they would get similar battery stats as you.
 
The battery life of the G3 is really amazing for sure .. but usually the battery life of a phone also depends on how old the battery is ..
 
Shouldn't the batteries be brand new considering how long the phones been out?
The battery life of the G3 CAN be amazing if the phone is set up to be optimal.
Users knowledge vary and phone usage as well.
 
Re: Amazing battery life!

The LG G3 definitely has a huge battery life . A very strong point between the smartphones of the present !!

I'm interested to see what you come up with. I can't imagine, nor do I see any advantage to having a battery last 3-5 days. I have no problem throwing it on the charger while I sleep every night, regardless if the battery is at 30% or 60% when I do. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but all I need is the phone to get me through my day. I generally don't turn things off or mess with settings. I like my GPS on for various reasons, need my Bluetooth on since I'm in and out of the car a few times a day, need to have email notifications pushed, etc.
Based on my normal use, the battery on the G3 easily gets me through a day, which is more than I can say for what my note 3 did. I'm very happy, but again, curious to see what your results are.
 
Re: Amazing battery life!

VW, I'll complain to everyone who'll listen. The most my battery will hold is 8 hours. If you can tell me how to get into the groove, or to look for the rogue app, I'd sure be a happy camper.
