LG G4 SOT

[dieselhazza]

Hi guys what SOT hours are you achieving. I cant seem to get 3.5hrs and at most about 4hrs. I have seen some say they get around 6 hrs of SOT. i have my brightness on 35% all the time. 2 emails sync, snapchat and tapatalk. My standby times seems to be fine. I lose about 9% in 13hrs so that is goodz for me. However SOT is poor. What have you guys done to achieve 6 hours SOT

4.5-5.5 SOT, 1.5 hours or so phone time, tons of text and a bunch of photos (for my job)...go to bed with about 35% each night if not more. Off the charger to at 6am back on at 10am for the most part.

I get 4-6 hours SOT every single day. If I need my phone a lot on a given day, I can get 6 hours SOT with about 13 hours up time. If I don't need it as much, I can get 30 hours up time and still get 4 hours SOT.

Lux helps for sure.

I have 1 gmail account on sync, 2 exchange accounts, Twitter widget that syncs every hour, and between Twitter, slickdeals, AC, XDA, and a few other apps I probably get over 100 notifications a day.

You guys achieve these results with Mobile Data on or off? Wifi?

Mine is a mix of mobile and WiFi for data. I never turn the radios off and WiFi is on 24/7 even if I'm not using it.

Same here. I don't stream movies or play games though, I'm not a heavy data user.

This is unfair. I am running my phone with minimum apps so i can get best possible on screen time. I dont even use the facebook app to minimise syncing apps. I have snapchat, whatsapp and 2 email accounts that sync. Why arnt i getting good results. I have my brightness set on 35%.

I installed gsam to do get the full stats of usage. I will post it as soon as i get to 20% or so

That's fine but you really didn't need gsam. We could have learned plenty from the built in battery stats.

Ohk i will upload both stats so we can have better understanding

I ran it at 23% brightness and still got really poor SOT performance.

Well Gsam is saying 5 hours of SOT so I wouldn't call that bad at all.

Its actually 3.33hrs if you check it again

I'm looking at the average per complete charge at the bottom.

 

[dieselhazza]

So with another 18% its going to get 1.5hrs SOT

Doubtful but that's what Gsam is currently saying so far. Gsam will keep adjusting as you keep using it to monitor.

How long were you talking on the phone? Voice calls showed it used 9% battery.

I talked around 45 mins to 1 hr all up. I dont see why i am not getting good SOT hours like most. What am i doing wrong?

There's nothing wrong with your SOT. Gsam shows the average at 5 hours. Your screen shot at 18% was 3 hr 33 min. You could easily get to 4 hours maybe 4.5 SOT before the phone was completely dead. You also talked on the phone for an hour. Hardly anyone posting screenshots of battery life actually has voice calls in their battery usage. I had a 26 minute call today; that's more than I talk on the phone in a week sometimes. That 1 hour voice call chewed up 9% of your battery.

Internet (which I assume is your web browser?) used another 9%. Snapchat used another 4%. Apps all use different resources to function. Not everyone uses the same apps.

I don't see anything wrong with your stats. Nothing is running rogue. It's just the way you use your phone.
