v20 Pie - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Does anyone have any information on the progress of the v20 pie update?
I'm on a vs995 patiently waiting for the update but seeing no light..
Is the pie update just for the korean models or will it be for others in the future??
Thanks.

I never really expected it to come to the carrier version's of the v20 (vs995,H918,H910), but they could have at least did it for the US unlocked version US996.

I really hope it does.. Since others have been saying it improves battery life.. Oreo has really done a number on my battery.. My OEM battery gets roughly an hour under light load, I got to the point of where i made my own battery for my phone, i took the board from an old v20 battery and attached a 7000 mAh Li-ion battery to it to get at least 9 hours of heavy load.. i'd really love to see better life out of the battery and hopefully better system performance too

that is really off i get like 8 hours of medium use out of mine light use it goes 12 hours i just have a standard 4200 mAh battery and im on OREO...

I have it on my F800K, it's working fairly great. I even managed to root it.
We know that it's possible to crossflash with LGUP developer edition. If someone that is confortable with all of that (and knows how to go back if a brick happens) is motivated to test that out, it'd be neat.
I can't since I only own a Korean one.

Oreo came several months after it was supposed to. I'm giving it until summer 2020. If not by then, then I'll throw my hands up and say that it won't come.

It's a fairly involved process. You have to downgrade to Nougat using LGUP, root using DirtySanta and then upgrade back up to Pie without flashing aboot and abootback (using LGUP "developer edition" in PARTITION DL mode). Finally you have to flash the correct Kernel.
Only issue so far is that the camera can't autofocus anymore. I do not take pictures with that phone so I don't care, but could be a deal breaker for you.
I'm not sure yet if it's a Kernel issue or a root issue. I need to re-downgrade and upgrade again without root to make sure the camera works with the same Kernel but without root.
I might make a detailed guide when I get the chance.

They have a new battery out that is a 4380 milliamp hour battery. I'm using it now with Alpha Oreo 1.3.1 with MK 2000 2.2 kernel. Using greenify. And a fresh install a few days ago. Battery life looks even better than it was.

i just got a perfine battery first 100% to 18% charge lasted me almost 2 full days

Do you have a link to the new Perfine battery please? I stocked up on their 4200mah's - I have 3 in rotation and 3 new ones in the drawer - I'll keep using the V20 for watching media while travelling when I eventually get a new daily driver. I get 6-8 hours SOT over 36-48 hours on Nougat.

I jumped from the V20 to the A71 . I added a 4000 battery in the V20 , but she is stock still on 8... ill see what plops down but its a good back up phone !! still works fine ..

Battery Life is Horrible on the T-Mobile Note 4 After Updating to Lollipop

Battery Life is Horrible After Updating to Lollipop, Its been only 4 hours and I went from 100% to 34%. Seriously, did T-Mobile upload the wrong update or are they expecting us to "upgrade" to an S6 / S6 Edge? I'm about hop on ODIN to revert back.
Seriously, :crying:
Battery life much improved, here.
^^^ Are you referring to the T-Mobile Note 4 or International?
Either I downgrade and wait for the next update which might take as little as two weeks to up to another 6 months, or I pay developers to get this sorted out, haha.

Never judge battery life after an OS update. You just flashed 15000 files or so. Come back in 4 days then we'll see what battery life really is. There's a lot going on under the hood after writing over 1 Gig of Code.

I cant say the same, battery looks just fine to me even that have passed only 24h from update. And was on full brightness 70% of the time On, and not to mention 1h30mins zynga poker.
If you're rooted, even after the update, you may need to get SE to Permissive. I did that previously when I had bad battery life on a stock (but Canadian) ROM and suddenly, magic.

It's odd that some say it's better and some say it's worse. For me battery life has gone down, not a huge amount, but a noticeable decrease. I'm all stock, not rooted.
Amazing despite all the warnings from the actual AOSP 5.01...all the warnings from sprint, verizon, and ATT users...we are STILL acting like this is some huge surprise and blaming Tmobile...

Our predictions came to life. Endless bug threads. Most of which are user error. And only one day or even a few hours of use. Sigh. O well
I tried Canadian port and my battery life was way better than KitKat. So far TMo Lolli seems just as good. I am very happy with Lollipop battery life.
38 hours of battery
Mine seems to be working incredibly well, even better than it was on Firekat. I have had it on for 10 hours and it says I still have 1 day 3 hours left.
Steps I took
Updated
Factory Reset
Set up as new device
Formated SD
Rooted and installed TWRP
Setup Greenify
Success
I had terrible battery life when I updated my Note 3 to Lollipop. Tried every trick listed on the Internet. Finally did a factory reset and everything was perfect. Did that from the get-go with my Note 4 and battery life after Lollipop is great. I don't know why the OTA update seems to cause battery problems, but a factory reset was the answer for me, at least on the Note 3. It would be interesting to see how many of those with problems did an update without a reset.

Is it worth updating to Nougat from 6.0.1 ?

The phone starting to feel laggy after a year and a half of use without factory reset. Today I am on 6.0.1 stock and rooted.
Wanted to know if it worth updating it to 7 or even Oreo ? Possibility of brick ?
I just need it to work smoothly and to be rooted.
Thank you for helping.

I would say update it to Nougat for sure. Why have you waited so long to update? Is it because of Xposed?
Before with Nexus 5 I updated to every new version. With 6p i read about brick in Nougat and decided to stay away. My phone sits on 6.0.1 for more than a year and now need to be restarted at least once a 24 hours because it is very laggy especially after updating few apps within Google play.
I decided to backup everything and at least do a factory reset. This is also an opportunity to upgrade so I came here to ask if it worth.

I think nougat is good. I tried update to Oreo stock no root. And now my freaking phone shut down at like 15% I think. Might just go back to nougat.....

Your battery is probably toast, because it is *not* the OS. Oreo is rock solid with great battery life. My family has 3 with the same result. Always on the latest security update. Why else would you buy a Nexus? Haha!
 @Lior84- Just get the latest full Oreo image from Google and follow the instructions. You'll be glad you did. :good:

Yes. Accubattery. Read the docs.... after a few full charges from empty it will give you the estimated remaining capacity in mAh compared with a new battery (3,450 mAh) . Check the health tab. :good:
Edit:
Check the link here for how to do a manual calibration. Easy. Just make sure you leave it on the charger until the APP tells you your phone is fully charged. Sometimes the phone will continue to charge for 45 mins to an hour after the phone says it is full.
Ok, and if the battery toasted, is it really difficult to replace the battery?

Idle Battery Drain

Hi All,
From Past 2 weeks... am Facing Phone Idle Battery Drain...
I have tried everything.... - Factory Resetting, etc....
The problem even persist in Safe Mode also...
Is it a Hardware issue ? or A Clean system Reflash might help ?
PS: My phone is not rooted.
For me after I'm uninstalling the snaptube, all it's turns normal... Maybe you use some app has draining your battery ?(software)

I also thought the same...But I didn't install any new apps other than Pixel Launcher.... And Now...I Uninstalled it.... Still facing the same problem.
I guess it is just the horrible LG software. I also experienced extreme battery drain in standby and could not figure out why.
I decided to flash the Resurrection Remix ROM onto my LG and look at that... Amazing battery life with the same usage and same apps installed.
My battery now drops 2% over night. With stock it was 9-10%.
I know it might not be the answer you are looking for. All I am saying is: maybe the Oreo update will help for Stock solutions.
There are reports out there that show amazing battery life with stock but they often disable a lot of services which in my eyes is not the purpose of a phone. Other than that... Try your luck with Greenify or something like that (could be hard to reach real results here without root though).

Hmm.... But I hav paid 760$ to buy this phone.... Why Should I settle for less ? If its a budget phone...then Ok...but this is a Flagship Device.... I am going to take this to Service Center. These Battey Problems are irritating me.
As far as I remember, that idle battery drain is known issue in Android 7.0 and our precious G6's have 7.0 and probably will never get 7.1 which has this problem fixed, LG rarely releases incremental updates, mostly only releases new devices with newer software (V30 has 7.1, Q6 also has 7.1 and their battery life is great).
7.0 bug causes "Phone Idle" thingy popping up in battery stats almost always on top, sucking up to 1000+mAh of battery in my case so I have to charge the phone almost every single day which is a little bit frustrating considering phone's battery and that it lies unused for around 8 hours every day as I have to leave my phone in locker room when I'm at work. This is the only thing that I hate in this phone.
We have to wait for Oreo... which also makes me a little bit nervous because 8.0 also has many bugs... Yes, 8.1 is right behind the corner but that strange LG update policy will probably halt our phones on 8.0...

Being able to have numerous apps for different purposes downloaded on your phone is what makes our smartphones so good. However, there may be a few that are resulting in rapid Android OS battery drain., without you even knowing about it.
Try These
Stay in Power Saving Mode
Reduce Display light
Try using the App Greenify, helps you identify which apps are causing battery drain, and put these into hibernation when you are not using them, to stop them from lagging your device and leeching the battery

Horrible battery life

https://imgur.com/a/uw1yr
I'm running Resurrection Remix on the latest build and have been having horrible battery life (about 2 hours sot) since quite a while now. I now charge like 2-3 times a day and overnight...
I recently did a clean wipe and reinstalled all my apps while only restoring Google authenticator and wifi passwords with titanium backup. I'm rooted with Magisk. I bought my Axon7 quite exactly one year ago. Have I fried my battery?

No, not really... I mean I can set a power profile, but that doesn't really do much.
I have to confirm that again, but if I turn on Airplane mode, my battery is a beast. I think there's some sort of drain coming from the kernel or something

You could try flashing a different modem for your model.
Maybe an app or two also keeping it awake and trying for a network? Not getting a deep sleep in doze.
Stock ROM has power manager and I suspect that is the only reason I get a day from mine.
If you're still suffering I suggest you go back to stock or reflash properly as in step by step and make sure nothing has gone wrong.

Where would I get that? I believe a friend helped me flash one a few weeks ago, but I don't remember where it was from. (I've had the issue before too, though)
I get this too. Absolutely horrible battery life. Well this started happening after I flashed the B32 bootstack and stock system to fix my camera issues. At first I thought it was the stock rom but I flashed candyrom and the llama sweet kernel EAS version and I still get it. I do think it's the phone signal but I'm not sure yet. I used to drop to 98% in about 10-20 minutes with WiFi on and screen on. Now I lose 10% in that time. I went from 98% (it doesn't even want to fill charge anymore but I think it's the kernel) to 92 in 10 minutes.

I feel you... I really hope it's just basically a software issue... If you have any solution, please, please update me and the others here - i just flashed the kernel that got recommended to me and I'll try if it makes things better. Otherwise I'll wait for Oreo, I guess...
I'm not even that sensible to bad battery life in phones because i always carry a powerbank, but if the phone barely makes it to work in the morning and I have to recharge it at work at 25% or so, it gets a little annoying ^^

True that...I don't believe it to be the battery. It could be software. I noticed that my battery usage spikes up to 1140+ mAh and stablizes at 460 mAh which is way too much. I remember only getting up to 430+ in worst cases and stabilizes at 200-300+
Here's what my battery usage looks like:

Candyrom 6.0 Android version 7.1.2 and Llama Sweet Kernel EAS v.02 10-02-17 release
I hope you find a solution too. If you do, please let me know.

Where would I get that? I believe a friend helped me flash one a few weeks ago, but I don't remember where it was from. (I've had the issue before too, though)

Check out the download center or the LOS thread.

Download center is all A2017G, unfortunately not for me as I'm on U and in the LOS thread the latest modem is from February so I'm almost certain I have that already flashed. Too bad. I guess we'll figure out what the problem is.

My bad. Check out post #6 here. Not sure about the versions there.
Edit: you could also flash the full stock b32 system and then go back to whatever

Fullstock is how I got into this mess i think, since this started happening as soon as I flashed B25 bootstack and stocksystem. But the new baseband, I'll try that and see how it goes. However that's B25, we're on B32 so hopefully someone posts the new modem. I have not tried flashing an older bootstack as I somehow doubt that will fix it. Granted, i noticed my battery life starting to wear while I was on an older bootstack while on DARK rom.
ediit: it seems i'm already running this modem version. https://imgur.com/a/8jeEh

Battery Life with Pie, heres my experience.... let's hear yours?

MAJOR Increase here in Battery life with Android Pie... Anybody Else?
Or is it just me? I'm getting at least 2 additional hours (if not more) of screen on time per day after taking the OTA to Pie on Monday... For Example...
Yeah, that's not terrible I reckon?
Which theme is this ?

Meh...they're just numbers my brother, in the grand scheme of things, it really doesn't matter. I've got the DW app,, just haven't installed it :laugh:
Battery life seems better after I flashed Nathan's 3.0 kernel!
My battery life is quite a bit worse. Nothing has changed in my use of apps. On 8.1 July I would have just under 50% battery remaining. I use a slow charge dock at night next to my bed with Sleep as Android running, and back to 100% in the morning.
Now on 9.0 I am at less that 30% end of day, with the slow charge dock sometimes it just maintains charge, but often it decreases. This morning I was at 12% with 24% showing last night at bedtime.
When I plug into the dock, I check that charging shows on the lock screen and led light. I manually turn of always on display and enable immersive display with tiles in the pull down menu to insure the screen being blacked out at night, even though Sleep as Android runs.
Was everyone's great battery life with OTA or Full Image?

My Battery life has gone for worse after installing P all fresh.. Battery life was good when i was on beta, once i moved to Final release of P and wiped everything for fresh start.. battery life been worse.. need to charge battery every 8-9 hours.. usage is same as i had earlier . I have even uninstalled many apps which were present on 8.1 and P beta...
Pretty disappointing.. Not sure if its only mine Pixel 2 XL.

Battery is def worse for me. I did OTA at first and then clean install. Same result. My battery life is better in 8.1 with always in display vs 9.0 WITHOUT always in display. Idle drain is worse also on 9.0 for me. I downgraded back to 8.1
Battery life for me has been better overall as well. Not a dramatic increase, as it was already pretty good on O, but it is noticeable.
Battery is not good for me on 9.0 why are some getting good and others not? Same hardware and software?

Hardware yes, software no, we all use different apps.
I'm trying to track it down, but the Battery section is showing nothing. I just installed BBS and granted the adb permissions hoping that will show me something.
And even if two people have the exact same apps installed, everybody has different usage of each app.

How are you getting this kind of battery. I used to get that on my galaxy S8+ but can't get 8 hrs sot on my pixel 2xl. I usually get maybe 7 max. Any tips?
Im not seeing any difference with the new feature adaptive battery, its neither worse or better
So in other words... Some ppl the worse than before, some better than, and others are getting about the same, all to varying degrees... That's nuts for real...
