Hmm, well that was written for the G3 so maybe it changed some. Honestly i used LG backup and it brought the shortcut over from my G3 so i just clicked it and it worked. I'll try to find the XDA link.
Attached is what nova looks like where there is suppose to be an activities link

I'm not sure if you've answered this yet on any of the other threads you're talking about the battery.. but have you "factory reset" the phone?
It's not the phone he doesn't like, it's android. He's had 3 flagships and didn't like any of them. That's not the phone, he doesn't like the Android ecosystem.
Ok, got the other way figured out.
Download Quick shortcut maker on the play store.
Open it, change 'incremental search' to ' normal search' and search for Access.
You should get a Settings option that you can expand. Look for one labeled Access Lock and click on it.
You can then try to see if it works out just make the shortcut.
Basically shows poor battery..you used your phone very little in almost a day

It sure has worked for me, on every Android phone that I've had that had an issue. It could be that you have a bad battery, but whatevs
You just taught an old dog a new trick. Awesome, thanks brother.

OP; what else have you done other than adjust your Google sync settings?
BTW, how you adjust how often your Google account syncs? I can find where you can change which apps sync, but I can't find where you set how often it syncs. My work account I have syncing every 1 hour via Exchange, but can't find the same Gmail setting.

I had adjusted my display to Auto, my email syncs to Manual, and only have certain Google functions syncing. See pics below..

Dare I ask... during that 1:29 of screen time, where the screen used up 20% of your battery during the 2.75 hours.... what was your brightness set to? Also, what apps were you running that took up 12% of your battery during that time period? Was it just system or were there high-usage apps such as games, youtube, etc.?
Screw it. I'm disabling my syncing too. Why not. I'm in front of a PC all day anyway with my work/personal email accessible in a browser. Why do I need my phone heavy-lifting, too? It will be liberating to not feel like I have to check my phone anytime a spam email comes through :-\
Interested to see what kind of battery life I get tomorrow.
I have my GPS set to high since I use GPS a lot throughout the day. One thing I notice is it seems like apps get stuck like maps, or chrome or Facebook and I have to go in and force stop it. I have also noticed my phone searching for location a lot throughout the day. I've been getting 3.5 hours of screen time but today seemed to be much better but I wad swamped at work so I had it charging in the car. I love this phone but I think the battery is a little weak or a have a bad unit.
