Screen on time - LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the LG V60 ThinQ before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Well nobody else has posted battery stats so I guess I will and I must say I'm nothing short of blown away with the battery life of this phone! 50/50 wifi and data. INCREDIBLE!

I have 5g disabled because it's very spotty in my area. This was 50/50 wifi and lte. I'm trying this still on the same charge. The phone was at 39 percent when I went to bed and it's at 39 percent now ...it laterally didn't drop at all overnight this battery is insane!

Here are my stats currently. Gonna take it down to about 5 to 10 percent and see what I get before I throw it on the charger.

Finished the 2nd day off charger with these stats. I'd say the last 39 percent was all lte and no wifi. Crazy good battery even on data!

Did you restore data from an old device?

No, I installed fresh. I hadn't turned off 5G though even though it's not available in my area. We'll see if that makes a difference

that was with the single screen only. I ended up doing a factory reset out if desperation. I've installed some apps but left othersb out and do far it's vastly improved. I'll have to install a few apps at a time and see which one was doing it.

I used LG package disabler and greenify with non-root permissions granted by adb, and this phone loses less than 1% per hour with the screen off. I woke up at 4:30, took my phone off the charger... Then went back to sleep until 1pm. 98%. That's pretty good.

Includes dual screen usage (about 20%.) I do use auto brightness. Android 11. Heavy
User.... No social media.

Facebook or any other silent data miners will eat your battery. I forcibly disable it on every phone and device I have.
Look for anything with run at startup permissions. Those all eat your battery because 9 or if 10 times they are data mining your device.

Uptime: 40hours :D

didn't use it that much the past few days but atm my battery is at 90%, uptime says 43:42:18, and awake time is around 6 hours. 14 hours since unplugged.
Sent about 30-40 texts, browsed around for some stuff, got 10 or so calls, and was on the map for 15-20 minutes.
Gonna charge it overnight, and use it extensivly tomorrow. See how long it can last.
14 hours and batt is at 90%? I smell fish around here

actually its ~13 hours, taking a pic. sec.
edit: give me a minute, have to figure out how to take the screenshot on a non rooted phone.
had to take it with my laptops camera, so yea, soz about bad quality.
So what are you running that you are getting such amazing battery life? At this rate you will get 117 hours of battery usage which is 4.8 days....

nothing, just stock everything. It might of been the charger in my car that charged it better than the wall plug, but idk the past few days it's been like this. the days before it would die after 12-14 hours, but now it just like started working better all of a sudden. I was rooted, but had to go back to stock cause of warante deal.

A USB charge always gives me longer life than wall charger. Haven't tried the car charger deal. Anything special you did in between a charge?

That's damn good. I actually just flashed to an almost basic stock rom, with minor tweaks and it has the new unreleased update included, and it's doing damn well.can't wait till the source gets released. They did something that's really helping battery. Itll really be something when the devs get ahold of that source code.
What rom did you end up using. I would like to try and find a rom that isnt using sence. It seams to be the real life of the party and eatting away at the battery life.
your best options are to either go with CM6 for a true AOSP rom this will have no sense wont be based on sense and will have nothing to do with sense. you will however lose 4g, HDMI and FM radio currently; or to use a sense based rom and remove the sense launcher and HC wdigets. this will keep 4g, HDMI, FM radio and will help some on battery though you are still running a sense based rom so not as good as AOSP
As for the battery usage. this isnt bad though i am surprised with the usage you listed that android system isnt in the top 2 and neither is dialer for the phone calls. Looks like the calls where very short if you received 10 of them so i will point out again that this must be with very light usage.
I assume you're not killing any tasks either?

this.
in all fairness, I made it to about 15 hours unplugged and still had a good 85% left on my battery with similar usage. I ended up with maybe 23 hours total before I plugged back in at around 30%. That was with baked snack 1.5, btw.
And isn't uptime just the time since the phone was last rebooted? If you don't reboot the phone that number would get into the hundreds, and has nothing to do with battery or charging right?

Correct.
Uptime = time since last reboot
yes uptime is since last reboot, but last unplugged is still 13 hours with 90% battery. It went down to 80% last night, after it reached 13:40, and i watched about 30 minute video on it.
and the phone calls were mostly to customer service. Called sprint for insurance and stuff.

my uptime is at 52 hours, battery at 10%... Its dying!! lol Havent used phone much other than texts, some facebook and taking pics here n there. Low 3g useage, mostly wifi.
total bs. no way you can use or even have the phone on standby for 13 hours without draining past 90% on the stock battery. no way.

After being skeptical

After being skeptical about the G3 after seeing the reviews, my preordered Verizon G3, came in.
The phone doesn't get hot as I heard so much. Maybe just warm but not to the point where it could even be a problem. The brightness is not bad at all as people said it was.
I can't really call it a lag, but on the optimus launcher that came with the phone seem kind of stutters. When I changed it to nova or Buzz, it was super buttery.
I rarely see lag, but it seems like simple graphic games like don't touch the white tiles, which I love, lags.
The screen is absolutely beautiful.
The camera is either hit or run most of the time. Pictures of my dog looks nice, but it has some blurr to it. It was taken indoors at night time.
I also took pictures outdoors, which was fairly dark with,no that much light. It actually looks darker in real life, but the performance in dark was very good.
I don't know why there are so many complaints about this phone. Maybe I just luckily got the one without defects, but I'm loving this phone.
I will post the camera photos soon. Tomorrow I'll probably take some outdoor photos and upload them as well
The battery lasted about almost 5 hours of videos, browsing, and heavy customization with avg brightness at 70%, frequently going to 100% to show off my screen to my friends.
I would like to see some battery results. I will do the same, today is going to be the first day of full use from a full charge (Verizon variant also)

Screen off time is ridiculous. My nexus 4 was off charge for 2 hours (mixed wifi and hspa+), playing local music for 40 minutes and 10 of minutes checking email/apps/web browsing and my battery dropped to 88%. When doing the same with the g3 my battery dropped to something like 97%.

The only way the battery gets calibrated properly is to perform several full charge/discharge cycles. It is not however, advisable to fully discharge the battery.

if u are not rooted then use this method..the phone knows what u are doing and it should re-calibrate any phone
1. once ur phone dies..charge it..dont turn it on
2. let it charge fully until u see the light turn green..unplug the phone
3. turn the phone on..go to the display settings and select the option which makes the screen not turn off..now plug the phone back to charging and charge to full 100% again
4. once thats done unplug the phone and let it drain the battery to 0% let the phone turns off it by itself
5. once loaded to 100% unplug the charger again and do not load until the phone turns itself off after reaching a 0% battery level.
6. once off fully charge it again and it should work properly..the screen setting can put back to normal again
it is a long process but it has to be done this way for the process to work properly

yeah that's not good at all. I did one charge cycle, and most of the time i was on 4g not wifi (from 97% battery down to 33% battery). Hopefully i can pull off more than 4 hours of SOT while on wifi. My old Evo LTE could get 4 hours of SOT when on wifi and 3g and airplane.

Without a poll it is hard to judge the satisfied rate.
I'll take a stab. Reading posts for about 2 weeks, I'd say10% or so flat out hate this smartphone, returned it or will before the return period expires. 25% like it but not without some concessions, i.e., battery, display or whatever.
Pretty much I think a much larger percentage of folks keeping it rather than dumping it. I started a thread about what was your previous smartphone so if it was something rather older then the G3 is a no brainer upgrade. BUT some have rather current flagships and a very good percentage are keeping the G3 regardless.

I think the auto brightness is much too dim so I ran min of 50% brightness, no battery calibration aside from 2 charge cycles.

People have been reporting that when dropping from 100% to 99% it takes longer than normal, and afterwards starts to drain fast again.. Could you confirm it please?

That probably has to do with the overcharge. When coming off from full charge, it is more like 110%, so it doesn't show that it had dropped below 100%. Same with g2.
Make sense?

Post Your Battery Stats So Far...

With the couple of reviewers stating the battery isn't that great. Let's see if it they're right..my "screen on time" was a little over 5 hours*...
This is mine after a full 100% with auto brightness with moderate to heavy use..
Edit. remember to include "screen on time screenshots" unlike my OP.
Sent from my DROID TURBO 64 GB
After running down the out of the box battery to 20%, gave it a full charge. Since then, sitting at 6.5 hours off battery, 2 hours 1m 46s of screen on, mostly surfing the web, facebook, a handful of texts, using the Moto Display, Wi-Fi on half that time, off the other half, and about 10 pictures, 79% left.

Screen on time is the most important battery stat. Any chance you can edit your OP to include a screenshot of it starting from fully charged?
Yeah please post screen on times when reporting back.
I picked mine up yesterday, got it all setup, and charged over night. I'll be able to report back later this afternoon once it's had some significant uptime. I also have my LG G3 and Moto X 2013 next to me, and I'm trying to keep the usage uniform across all 3 to compare.

Got mine and it was at about 44% out of the box. Ram it down until it shut down and have been having baby use with it since (except for about 7 hours sleeping). And yeah, that is totally a rogue app. Never had problems with it before though. :/

This is comparing a Verizon G3 and Turbo, as well as a T-Mobile Moto X 2013. I've always had issues with the wireless keeping the phones awake, so the battery life isn't what most of you would probably see, but it's still a fair comparison.
DROID Turbo:
LG G3:
Moto X 2013:
So basically it's doing better than the G3 and way better than Moto X 2013. I agree with you though I think the poor Wifi reception is causing the phone to be awake more often or spend more battery maintaining signal. I'm at about 5 hours with 1 hr SOT and 80% battery. Seems reasonable but I thought it'd be better.

That's my conclusion as well, I will run these through the night and I'll have a better comparison, then this weekend will be real world use.
It has something to do with our wireless infrastructure at work that causes devices to stay away 90% of the time, at the end of the work day I'll have 6-7 hours of it being away with very little SOT.
I'm surprised that it's only a slight improvement over the G3 though, I was expecting more.
Still trying to get through my first few cycles. So far this morning my phone is at 90% with only 25 minutes of screen on time. I did run google play music on the drive over here. But still, those are rather terrible battery stats, hoping to get through the first few cycles and get better battery life.

You gotta give it more than the first 10% of one cycle to get an accurate representation. Let us know after the battery is down more.
Still gonna let it get lower before charging again. This is with a full charge. I am coming from the G3 and batt life seems way better on this, but can't tell since not even 1 charge cycle

Exactly, it takes few charging cycles for the battery and the phone to calibrate and maximize the battery life.
Alright here's mine.
Bought yesterday, charged to 100% overnight, used all day at work.
Thus far appears much better than my previous phone, an LG G2, but battery life has never been a problem for me.
Did well in phone arena tests though:

SOT isnt the only thing that shows how a battery is good or not. Like I said, I streamed a lot...with my G3, it would have crapped out long before going a full day, and the battery is only about 20% bigger. I got more than that out of the Turbo. Also note, this was the full first cycle. If you dont know already, the battery will get better after a full cycles. So Im loving it. I only have one true gripe and that is the low call volume, but I know that can be fixed through an update, which I hope they do soon.

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Nokia 8's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Definitely a pattern here. Battery very consistent with best SOT I've experienced. Nokia has nailed it in this respect from a relatively small battery

Wow! Nine hours and it didn't drop a single percentage? What a quality doze
I suspect it was a one off, it would be nice if it did it all the time that's for sure.
Have had my phone 5 days - 4 nights.
1st night was 0% loss - but past 3 nights has been 3-4% overnight in Aeroplane mode.
So I guess some apps I installed since are doing something or trying to do something overnight.

Spoke too soon. Saw another 0% drain last night...
Only difference I can think of is that earlier in the day I had disabled 'Push' on my corporate email client 'TouchDown' and set to never sync.
But the weird thing it that the push/sync was only ever scheduled for office hours. So, unless it has been doing something behind the scenes - it does not make sense that it was using 3-4% every night..Pretty sure it did not show up in the usage breakdown figures.
Will check again tonight.
I remember that my Z1Compact used to get away with 0-1% overnight and even my Z3C in the early days - until an Android version upgrade removed the Sony battery optimisation feature.
Update: Another night of 0% drain!
I got the phone on Saturday, and in two nights I'm losing 2-3% in 7-8 hours. I guess this shouldn't happen since my old Galaxy s5 on 7.1.1 had 0% drain. Also today at work battery drained 2-3% while doing nothing on the phone the whole day.
Anyone else with the similar problem?
Has anyone spotted that after Oreo update battery life improved? I managed to get two days out of it with Location/Data on all the time using maps almost all the time pretty impressive.
Hi! If you're only using mobile data (4G/LTE) for internet access the whole time, how much SOT are you having while doing some chats and Facebook?

I got the phone on Saturday, and in two nights I'm losing 2-3% in 7-8 hours. I guess this shouldn't happen since my old Galaxy s5 on 7.1.1 had 0% drain. Also today at work battery drained 2-3% while doing nothing on the phone the whole day.
Anyone else with the similar problem?

Losing 2-3% in 7-8 hours is not even close to being a problem.

yeah, but it's not normal.
Also, it can be 7-10% or 10-15%. Phone and kernel sucking battery, still haven't found the solution.

Battery life.

So far how do you think about the battery life on the phone is with heavy usage considering the fact that phone Comes with 5000mAh of battery?
As for me I think the phone can do better than what it's doing right now.

With light usage i get around 11 n half hours SOT.
With moderate usage it's around 10 to 11 hrs.
During extensive use i get from 8 to 10 hrs SOT
Pretty good. It will last throughout the day. No doubt.
On moderate or light use cases it will last more than that. You just have to charge on alternate days. Its the best thing i noticed about this phone, you don't have to carry a charger or search for a charger in the middle of a movie. :good:
With custom roms theoretically it should do better as we can opt out of all these google services constantly running in the background.

After new update, it's holding up well and good!

I had actually called Asus hotline and they asked me to 1.)Turnoff the Zenmotion in gestures.
2.) Use the phone in safe mode for 3-4 hrs
3.) And always charge the battery to 100% and drain it till 20-30% (or even less if possible) instead of charging intermittently.
Now I donno y they asked me to this...but im giving it a shot. Moreover I have also installed Greenify app as stated above & one point to be noted is that a lot of Youtube techies have mentioned that low network coverage in your area affects battery usage to almost 40-50%.
Now maybe that can be the reason too..but im not convinved for such low SOT coz people above who posted screen shots also show low network coverage.
LETS SEE! How it goes

Yes it does. And 4G means more battery drain.

Poor LTE network does drain the battery like anything. I get more battery drain at office because LTE network is poor. At home its good so battery drain is very less. What i do is switch to 3G instead of LTE. That helps a lot.
