Battery drains incredibly fast - LG G6 Questions and Answers

Hey, so lately I've been experiencing incredibly fast battery drain, I am confused of why this is happening, I rooted my phone and tried doing some things to improve it, but that didn't help. When I first got my phone the battery was extremely good. I've just recently flashed stock firmware but it's still terrible, does anyone know any tips or tricks, maybe the root of my problem? I'll drop some screenshots as well.

Try running "diagnose" under Smart Doctor and see if it comes up with a misbehaving app.

You should try update system apps from dedicated menu.

This does not look THAT bad. Really.
Snapchat... Facebook Messenger... Facebook dedicated app.
Also that battery monitor crap. Anything else similar to that installed?
These are true battery suckers, also try dealing with QuickMemo+ app, as previously mentioned.

You've got a point, will remove one of the battery monitors. I seem to be some improvement after the QuickMemo+ trick.
Although I really don't know any good Facebook & Facebook Messenger replacements. Those I tried were just not giving me full performance and they're not looking good.

Isn't there a way to disable Quickmemo+ without root ?

I'm experiencing the similar starting this month, and seems like the battery drain comes with heating surrounding the power button, are you seeing the same symptom?

Did you try LG hidden menu trick? To do that, you need to type *#546368#*870# in dialer and you'll see a hidden menu. Then, tap on SVC Menu > LDB > Untick "enable" (both options needs to be unticked) close the menu and restart it. Most of the users says that this method is also useable, you can give it a try.

Hey,i have been experiencing the same thing.For me is like android system and android os and phone idle eat battery as the same time as the screen.So that means i am using the phone and three things at the same time are eating the battery.I went down from 5 hrs sot to 3 and a half.I have done a lot of things like the hidden menu,the quicknote,conserve memory thing.I don't know why it does that and the phone is really heating up.I have not experience this level of heat ever on my g6.I use the h870 europe with january security patch.

You all call this bad backup?? Plz get your phone tested. See my phones's backup.. this backup with no in between charge

sounds like a rogue app, install better battery stats from play store and check results (it will ID apps chowing battery).

Horrible battery life after flash of new radio?

How do I restore my phone to original so I can start over? I am getting horrible battery life now with this new radio version and I have tried multiple roms. I made a nandroid backup when I first rooted my phone I just need a little bit of info on how to restore this version and will this version send my radio back to normal? I am not sure that is the problem but it started about the time I did the flash to the new version and I would really just like to kinda "start over" to get rid of any issues my flashing all these different roms may have caused. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

welcome to xda. there is a search thread button on the top right of the forum it will find all the keywords you type so that should help you. always search in the forum before starting a new thread so we can keep clutter down. anyways the radio isnt messed with by alot of things because it is very risky and it is also in a whole different partition so a nandroid will not restore it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644004&highlight=radio
download the stock and flash it. goodluck. be very careful with radio.
I didn't try looking around on the forum for the way to flash it back. I have become very proficient in messing with my phone so I am not worried about bricking it, but thank you very much for your help.
This is really weird, I just noticed my radio version is 2.14.05.02.03, from what I have read it is supposed to be 2.14.04.02.03 and it does not wanna seem to flash back when using the signed version of the stock roms... I dont get it anyone help me?
that is weird. someone made a typo lol. anyways try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644004&highlight=radio&page=3 go to post # 28. DL and try to flash. i made a different update-script so maybe this other one will work for you.

It isnt working though since the flash a week or so ago I have been getting terrible battery life and I cant figure out what is wrong... I have wiped, tried about 4 different roms and nothing changes the battery still drains like crazy. I also tried a rom with like no programs running and made sure that I had nothing running that could possibly kill the battery.
I tried that one as well... Still says the same thing, this is really odd, I really think this is causing my battery issues. I flashed both that one and the one on the main page, do you think possibly that the problem is related to this. The only radio update I ever flashed besides this downgrade was the one that Flipz posted to go with his Android 2.1 rom... This is really weird I am really getting worried that I am gonna be stuck on this radio version forever now =(

I have been using pancake .1 I love the rom it is very basic. Only things I keep running besides what is normally running is official Facebook app, Google Voice, and Handcent, besides that I have killed every app to try and find the culprit of this problem.

in "Battery Info" it gives only basic info on status, current level, scale, temp, time since boot, and a few more unneeded values, nothing about individual pieces of software.

Do you have Spare Parts installed. You should be able to get info from there. Do you have GPS, Wireless, or Bluetooth on? I have the updated Radio and while I am sleeping I am only using 9% of my battery. With my stock ROM I was using 35% I have everything off except mobile networks and when I go to sleep I turn that off. I do not over-Widget my homescreens or have email checked every 5 minutes.
Maybe try Damage Control V1 or Fresh Rom 2.0. I know DCv1 is great as long as you follow soome of the steps on remving one of the applications.

Nothing conclusive in any of these threads, and I am beginning to worry...id really like my old radio back.
It's an issue with the new radio. Your phone is constantly looking for a GSM signal, preventing the radio from sleeping. Either need to flash the old radio, or upgrade to a 2.1 ROM and follow my guide.
Well, I am on Fresh 2.0c now and my battery life seems better. It was literally going down like 10% or so per hour before, it is back to normal now like normal for 2.1 roms. I reinstalled the radio a few times and I read in other threads that even though the versions wasnt changing in settings it was really changing. So I think it is fixed now but I still got my fingers crossed.
Even if your battery life is better now, you still need to follow the guide to change the Preferred Network to CDMA auto (PRL) otherwise your phone will still be wasting a good amount of battery searching for a GSM signal... I'm on Fresh 2.0c with the new radio and I'm only seeing like a 20% battery drop over 7 hours with normal usage.

[HELP] DHD wakes up by itself

Hey,
I have a major problem for a couple of weeks now. My phone just keeps waking up randomly and turns the screen on by itself. I have root and s-off and tried out a few roms. Sense Roms as well as MIUI roms... It does not make a difference at all, so I guess it can't be rom related. I have read a few more posts on the web of users having a similar problem but there was no solution given anywhere.
Also, my speaker automatically turns on when I receive or make a call. These two problems seem interconnected since there is at least one person on xda having exactly the same two issues...
Does anybody have an idea or a solution for this? I would be thankful for any kind of help! Thank you in advance!!!
I've a similar problem a bunch of months ago, my phone turn on automatically, without no logic. I've resolved the problem pulling out the battery for a night, after that the problem disappeared.
I hope that will help you to resolve your problem,
Rodomar705
Thanks, I will try that out tonight and report!
Ok, I tried it out last night, but it did not work
Does anybody have a different idea?

Did you check the date and time once you'd insert battery inside DHD? I think to solve the problem that way, you should leave DHD without battery until the internal battery will be totally discharged. It takes approx. 12-14 hours, and you can be sure only if turning on DHD you'll find time and date set to 12:00am, 1st jan 1980 (or something like that).
Yeah, it definately worked though, time was resetted as well. I turned it in today, hope to be able to pick it up next week. Before, I ran the Ruu to set it back to shipping condition... It still had the same error, so it is definately not rom related...
It is a huge drag without it... Already feeling uncomfortable ^^

Sorry mate!! Just wait for a week, ist not so long time, and you'll get back your phone as new as when you bought first time!! Hope this makes you feel a little bit of joy!!
Ok, I have gotten my phone back on thursday (after one week)...
SO far so good, everything worked again, they even set the proximity sensor right again... Then I rerooted it and put another MIUI on it...
On friday then, I put Vipermod back in and undervolted it by 50 mA... BOOM, the issue came back, I couldn't remove it, so I took the battery out and waited for 12 hours, as you suggested... and it worked... Issue was gone... Then I ran vipermod again and BOOM the issue was there again... It didn't even help to set the mA values back to normal, I had to reset it again by taking out the battery for 12 hours.
So my conclusion is that this issue is directly related to the actual USE (not just the installation) of vipermod... Can anyone confirm? Don't want to put out false information in the vipermod thread without having others to confirm...
need help also

If changing the ROM didn't help then it is an app issue. One of your apps is causing it. Time to look deeper
I have exactly the same issue! Also with the speaker sometimes. Really annoying. If an app is causing it, how can we find out which one? I'm using ARHD 6.1.0, but I've had the issue with older versions of the ROM too (with the same apps installed).

I have the Martian. I haven't tried the weather since I updated the firmware. The old firmware caused a gps wakelock that drained the battery on my phone.

Thanx stelthy77, please let me know.:good:
Looks like it is working so far for me.
I did have to reboot the watch.
Here is what I did:
In the app: Enable weather forecast, go to settings, confirm changes twice.
Reboot watch.
It didn't show up right away, but after I got another notification on the watch it was there.
Just press the lower button once, and it pops up after the status info and date. (6 degrees here, chilly...)
You can also try doing all of the above a second time if it doesn't take (recommended by Martian).

[Q] Huge lag spikes

So i've had my G2 for a few weeks now and it has started acting weird.
I have done nothing to it besides installing some apps, from the play store not from anywhere else.
But now it has started lagging MASIVELY, sometimes i can't even come past the lockscreen, and sometimes the lockscreen is not even there.
Also when i try to type a message or something it starts the massive lag, i have no diea why since i've jsut used it as it is, taking photos and using instagram/facebook/snapchat, no gaming or anything else.
Also, notifications comes after the real message i get, vibration comes on 15 seconds before.
It also heats up when it is in my pocket and drains the battery.
This usually happends when i open up facebook messenger, but i can't uninstall it since i find it necessary to have.
If anyone could i reply, i would be higly gratefull!
@RomWiz I dont know why all those things are happening to you but, you can try to wipe cache,dalvik-cache and flash dorimanx kernel and or switch to another stock based rom.
If you wanna stay stock I suggest to go to settings and see how much the apps are using your memory. Facebook is syncing the whole time so its really an battery drainer. On full stock I also cant suggest much what to do since I never had that phone.
I hope that someone else with real g2 experience could help you more with your issue, goodluck with your problem and I hope you can fix it soon.:good:

How could i wipe dalvik on the stock rom?
And i've had it for a few weeks, and i see no one else complaining about this lag on the G2, so i don't know why this is happening.
tried rebooting?
also check the battery stats in the settings see if it shows what's draining battery, that's most likely causing all the system hogging

I may also think that it has to do something with the thermal throttling of LG stock rom.
The only way to wipe it is in an custom recovery without wiping all your data.
I did a factory reset and it seems to be fixed now, but who knows.
Maby in a few weeks it'll start again.
@RomWiz alrigh have fun with your phone if it happens again I suggest to maybe flash an modified stock rom or the g3 rom port with dorimanx kernel.

Help me solve my Idle battery drain - and better battery stats report posted

Hello,
Been struggling a lot with my battery drain since I bought my 6t.
I am unrooted and now with 9.0.7, I already uninstalled a lot of apps to try and locate the root cause for my battery drain. I never had social apps which I know can misbehave a lot.
I have location, nfc, etc always turned off, battery optimisation settings always on.
I installed better battery settings and what you see is during my sleep, and the phone drained a lot once more.
Another issue I am having is that each time the phone reboots the find my device is activated even after I set it to not do anything.
I need help though, I quite do not understand what I should do now.
What is my problem? What can I do to achieve the crazy screen on time some of you have? More, I would be happy to just solve the screen off battery drain. One day I had over 40% drain without using the phone more than 5 minutes.
Can someone please help me out?

The problem is that you messed up your stock Rom in the process of unrooting. My best advice is to root your phone again and back up everything with Titanium Backup. After that, use MSM download to return to stock ( The same software state you had it in when you first bought it). I can assure you that the hardware is fine, but misbehaving software will only cause more harm to your phone. No one will provide you with a simple fix like a flashable zip and dont panic because its not that big of a deal. I bricked my 6t right after misreading instructions, but it recovered and its heavily modded. Go back to stock and start over

I came up with that answer without checking those screenshots, but now its obvious. By unrooted, do you mean you had root and then unrooted or havent attempted anything? The other thing is obvious, your battery is draining because of google play services. I had the same problem, but i removed my gapps because i use better app alternatives that dont require google play services. The other thing is i use services though my browser than having a separate app for everything. I find it safer and i use Brave browser.

I came up with that answer without checking those screenshots, but now its obvious. By unrooted, do you mean you had root and then unrooted or havent attempted anything? The other thing is obvious, your battery is draining because of google play services. I had the same problem, but i removed my gapps because i use better app alternatives that dont require google play services. The other thing is i use services though my browser than having a separate app for everything. I find it safer and i use Brave browser.

You probably got it right, I already had twrp installed but since it was not working I went back to stock. How did you figure that out?
I might need some help to do as you said since I do not want to brick the phone. What if i do a factory reset? Will it cure the problem?

A factory reset wont really fix the issue, but you could always give it a try if you backup your precious files first. The problem that i am currently facing on my device is that i cant port Google Camera. I realized that it doesnt work without google play services, but i am not going to start over from stock just to get one app (Doing so fixes everything, but there is a workaround). I am planning on Deodexing my stock ROM and installing MicroG. Its really difficult to find easy instructions , but i gotta challenge myself. Anyways, in your case you just need to give the MSM Download Tool a try, its normally used to unbrick devices and return them to stock. You can always use it in case you mess up your software to the point where flashable zips only cause more issues.
# 1 Backup
# 2 Factory Reset or MSM Downloadtool ( Your Choice!) The tool is on the Op6t Forum somewhere.

Accessed stock recovery, made a factory reset from there by erasing everything. In about 11 hours the phone used almost 20% battery and no screen on time! Just standing there the whole time. I think I really need to do something, will try that tool you pointed.
No chance of bricking right?

tried it, it gives me a sahara communication failed. not sure what should I do now.
EDIT: I remember better now. when I got the phone it was on 9.0.4, I updated to 9.0.5. Then I side loaded the temporary and somewhat "compatible" TWRP which I used to flash Magisk. not sure why but root checker said I was not rooted and since an official TWRPO seemed to be far I decided to lock the bootloader (this gave me the official recovery back).
Do you think this is what is causing me the battery drain? everything is working properly to the exception of battery drain.
ANOTHER EDIT: decided to contact oneplus directly and explained the situation (even mentioned I had twrp and that I flashed magisk. they asked me to send the phone so they will see if this is hardware problem or software. not sure if they are going to charge me or not but I think it is unfair to charge (lets wait and see).
Can anyone help me figure out how to solve this problem assuming this is a software issue? I would pretty much like to avoid shipping the phone, never had good experiences with these rma assistance in the past.
Hi Cesar,
Hentai already suggested you how your problem could be solved
Cheers

I know but for some reason I cannot have access, it gives me the Sahara error. What should I do?

The mistake you are committing is this: having installed BBS, you should have taken an idle dump (as described in the OP of the BBS thread) and posted it in the BBS thread asking for help. Screenshots won't help.
Google Play Services by itself rarely drains battery on Oreo and especially Pie. All the apps go through Play Services for their requirements and if there is a misbehaving app, instead of finding it, people blame Play Services (I am not a fanboy of Google).
EDIT: Having said that, I just checked your screenshots. BBS is not functioning properly and the readings are skewed. Which version are you running? From your battery history screenshots, I see that you seem to have about 2% per hour drain. At best it can be brought down to 0.5%. Uninstall BBS, reboot and reinstall it. Let us see whether this time it runs properly.

Nicee!! What firmware version?
I noticed that every time i disconnect the cable when phone is fully charged after few minutes the percentage drops to 98 and few minutes late to 95 and then is more more longer time to drop to 94 and become Solid the discharge.. Someone know what i can do for fix this issue
I am still in 9.0.7.
I think that drain right after disconnection from the charger also happened to me but not sure how it is now after my "cleaning" ! Before when it was draining a lot I had it for sure but the phone was always sucking battery.
