Re: Battery Life Continues to Diminish
The only thing I can suggest is a tip from one of your prior posts. - Reboot phone. Specifically turn off while charging then restart. Why does this work? Not a clue (can't think of any logical reason), but since I have been doing this at least once a week, I have noticed a big improvement in battery life, especially standby time. The Verizon update had no effect on my battery life, but had major improvements. Specifically no missed taps, sound settings improved.

I did that yesterday, but also have done it periodically (usually with a cache partition wipe at restart).
One thing I'm currently watching is related to Location. While it's completely counter-intuitive, I'm wondering if my toggling Location completely off by default may have hurt battery life.
The hourly drain rates I had yesterday were noticably lower than I'd been seeing for quite some time. I routinely see 6-7+% and even higher in overall hourly drain since the FDR more than a month ago. I saw those before FDR, too, but has seemed more frequent and consistent lately.
The dip (improvement) in hourly drain rate yesterday coincides with my flipping Location back on as default (set to GPS only). I also did the charge while off thing, but as I said, I'd been doing that periodically without significant improvement.
Now, it's only one day, and I have seen absolutely nothing over time in the battery stats to suggest this is the issue (obviously GPS wouldn't be running with Location off and there have been no wild Keep Awake stats or unruly app drains).
If I see more reasonable drains moving forward I think I can say that either this Location thing is the issue, or it's just a big coincidence and still a mystery.
I know it doesn't seem to make sense.

LG G4 battery drain HELP!
When I first got my G4 I was getting approximately 25 hrs per charge. I'm not a heavy user by any means. I check facebook, twitter, and instagram periodically throughout the day and don't really do any video streaming or gaming. After about a month, I started getting about 7 -10 hrs. I bought a new battery from LG and the same thing happened. A few weeks of 25 hrs then 7-10 hrs after a few weeks. I then went and got 6000 mAh battery which was awesome. I was getting 50+ hrs on a single charge. But now, 3 weeks later, I'm at about 12 hrs per charge. What the hell is going on? This doesn't seem normal to me especially since I'm not a heavy user. Does anyone have any insight to what might be happening and how I can fix this? Also, everyone once in a while my phone will be in my pocket and I can feel it heating up even though no apps are running. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Re: LG G4 battery drain HELP!
Combo of battery drain and heat (especially when not in use) screams rogue app or apps to me. However, the delayed response of 2-3 weeks per battery makes it a head scratcher.

Re: LG G4 battery drain HELP!
Any chance you have Lookout installed? That POS app took my battery life from 25-30 hours to less than 12. Removed it, and problem went away.
It is odd, though, that it isn't immediately apparent on a brand new battery.

I don't have Lookout installed. And if I go to battery usage the highest app is google services at 5%. Android OS is 53%, android system is 11%, screen and phone at 9%.

Re: LG G4 battery drain HELP!
How many apps are running in background syncing? IE: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. That will drain the battery life also.

Every time I'm done using my phone and put it in my pocket I clear all apps.

Android OS 53%? That's the problem right there. Can you post screenshots?

Re: LG G4 battery drain HELP!
Wow that's really high, mine only uses about 5%, and my screen is the highest at 31% but I guess that comes down to having a great display. There must be some kinda syncing going on in the background. I know FB is a killer on the phone. I disabled that on FB and instagram

Re: LG G4 battery drain HELP!
Is there anything I can do? With no apps running I'm losing 10-15 percent per hour with a 6000 mAh battery.

There is your problem. Keep awake is 51 minutes. Phone isn't sleeping at all. Now we just need to figure out what it is.
