Good afternoon everyone!
My LG G4 has been experiencing large battery drain for several years that I have been trying to track down the culprit. I’ve posted about it before, but have not been able to figure it out. This time I’m posting again with more info hoping to finally nail it down.
My battery was at 35% when I started looking at this, brightness is at 50%, Screen on Time is 38m 57s. I have a standard 3000mAh battery (technically this one is 3rd party I bought from Best Buy in December but the original behaves exactly the same way, if not worse). Based on the comments I’ve read in other threads, the 35% battery life remaining means that I have used 1,950 mAh (3000*.65). However, when I look at my Battery Use Details I see the following figures:
Screen – 18% – 98mAh
Voice Calls – 12% – 65 mAh
Google Play – 8% – 45mAh
Android OS – 8% – 42 mAh
Cell Standby – 7% – 41 mAh
Chrome – 5% – 26 mAh
Words with Friends – 4% – 22 mAh
Phone Idle – 3% – 19 mAh
Instagram – 3% – 18 mAh
Android System – 3% – 17 mAh
when I add everything up, it looks like my phone has actually only used 393 mAh (not 1,950). If this is correct, my battery life should be at 87% instead of 35%.
What else can I try? Replacing the battery had no effect in December and LG is out of stock anyway.
Info: Android 6.0, VS986, 2BA, Not rooted
