Screen On Time - What does yours look like?

[benjamin19]

You guys are lucky. I get about 4 hours SOT. And that's with FB lite installed too. Oh well. Zerolemon battery case will be here soon

My Zero Lemon was just delivered. Man this thing is gargantuan! Feels like i can go a month on this thing.

mine should be delivered today as well.... ordered specifically for travel but I don't like the chin. I wonder what kind of SOT you would get with that beast.

Well with what I'm getting now, I'd be happy with what YOU are getting now without the case!

To be honest, I have huge hands. The minimal bezel actually has been a learning curve for me. This huge chunk now puts the keyboard and on screen buttons at a more comfortable level for my thumb.

I remember enjoying the feeling of a bigger battery on my v20.. Let us know with and update when you can.

Lucky man. I won't get mine till Thursday.

Do you think you can use it daily, or only on special occasions?

Also it's not just the size but the weight. With previous Zerolemon I've used, it was always the weight that made me stop using it and not the actual size. Is it as heavy as you expected ?

It is without a doubt as heavy as i expected. Honestly using the phone in hand does not bother me. Wearing it in my pocket is where I feel i may get tired of it. In pants it may not be a big deal, but in my coaching shorts at practice I can definitely see an issue where it literally is pulling my shorts down. I'll keep y'all updated. This is my first battery case.

I can see that. With my previous Zerolemon i had to be careful with any basketball shorts lol.

Sometimes I wished the LG G6 had a removable battery. But that's a whole different topic...

How did you like the V20? I considered that before getting the G6, mainly because it has a removable battery

I liked the v20 but the in hand feel, and battery life for me on the g6 is way better... With add you don't get the in feel though.

I am incompetent today.

It is probably not the app specifically, but wakelocks and/or alarms, so you will not see them directly related to the app in these statistics.

Wakelocks are a tool apps or the OS can use to keep your device from deep sleeping. I have used 2 bluetooth devices lately that cause excessive battery drain and in both cases I noticed huge amounts of wakelocks, so my device was sleeping only maybe 1/4 of the time that the screen was off. I want my phone to be sleeping as much as possible (without sacrificing functions I need)!

Alarms are a way that an app can wake up your device if it's sleeping, and it's likely that your app would wake up the phone periodically to take a measurement. If it's only every 5 minutes, that would not be significant, but sometimes you will see an app with hundreds of wakeups per hour.

A good tool to see alarms and wakelocks is better battery stats. There is also a non-root version of wakelock detector. In either case you need to use an adb command to give them access to your battery stats, so digging into this level of battery usage is not going to be for everyone, but it was one of the first things I learned about when I got into android because I couldn't understand why my battery didn't last longer on standby.

The other unfortunate thing is there is not much you can do about this nowadays. Back in the days when I was rooted and using xposed, there was all kinds of work being done to "tame" excessive wakelocks and alarms.

oops, screwed this one up!

I have no idea what I was trying to say... Hahah

Haha you had me with the first part, but then totally lost it with the closing remarks lol

Probably a result of using Fleksy.

Thanks for the info. You are definitely right about everything. At some point I am going to factory reset my phone and completely start over without downloading the app to confirm it.

Attached are the wakelock info from gSam. I downloaded better battery stats but it needs root to see wakelocks.

Yeah I didn't really care for Fleksy

I remember knowing a fix for the googleplay services sucking too much battery, pretty sure it was clearing the cache in recovery mode. No idea how to access it on the g6 though......

Whoa, I have consistently gotten 4- 4.5 hrs screen on time since I've had this phone. I downloaded the LG package disabler yesterday and disabled a bunch of stuff and today I'm at 5.5 hrs sot with 22% battery remaining. Don't know which application it was but this is pretty good for me.
