I had been getting awesome battery life on my extended battery and had 4g coverage almost constantly. A full day 8-11pm no charging. Now I'm getting 8-9 hours depending on use and even turned off 4g and it hasn't helped since I started to not see 4g often.
Anyone else noticing a difference?

Install GSam battery monitor. See what apps are staying awake. Google maps likes to stay awake a lot

I'll give that a shot. Downloaded it and going to check it tomorrow and see.
A friend mentioned maybe my radio is not catching signals right and constantly searching for 4g but confused since I was constantly at 4g and I have not seen much 4g on my phone lately.

I keep background data off, I turn it on and off when I need it, I hate constant notifications.
Anyone else using it? I've used it since OG Droid, and it's always the first app installed on any phone I get. It claims to be giving me 2.01x battery life, and with any other phone I believed it but I'm seeing people post 2 days no charge and I get about 1.25 days with very heavy use, unless I'm at work (12hr shifts 4 days a week). Thoughts? Some people claim it's junk, and I'm not so sure with a battery as big as ours we need it, or if there is a better alternative? I mean we already have a Battery Saving Mode...

I'm using it,I think if you configure it with the right settings it can save you a good amount of battery.

I personally don't think it's needed on this phone because how long the battery already lasts and I like my smartphone to stay smart. But on my lg spectrum I used deep sleep battery saver, it was pretty good.
Also on a side note time up isn't as important as screen time. I could get days if I didn't use the phone, but if you are always on it 12 hours is pretty good

I think battery saving apps are obsolete now because phone's are becoming more battery efficient and batteries are becoming larger (Mah). I don't see any need for a battery saving app anymore especially with this phone. Just uninstall it and some more RAM
I use deep sleep battery pro. very easy to set up

Thanks! I had a red evolution x that I sold that was well modded. I still miss that car lol. I use deep sleep battery saver with the profile set to balanced.

I'm currently at 32% since last charge. I'm at one day 3 hours, with five hours of screen time. I use one power guard.

I'm used to phones with poor battery life, so bad that I have to charge at 50% or I lose my phone quick. I'm trying to train myself out of this, but it is difficult after so long. The LGOG is so much better that i don't have to charge until 15% or so to be safe. Anybody else having similar 'problems'? Used to bad batteries and panicking at 50% or so on your LGOG?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Lol. This is exactly how I would describe my relationship with my phones, both current and previous. The GS2 had abysmal battery life. I'd always get nervous if I got under 50% and knew I wouldn't be near a charger for a few hours. The iPhone 3GS I had before that wasn't any better.
The OG has been great now that I've got it set up properly. No worries now.

IPhone 4S was similar, but the G2X and especially the OG Evo 4G were way worse.

Coming from an HTC Inspire I still have a habit of putting my phone on the charger at 30% battery life on that phone was horrible for me.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Battery life has been about the same since I started using android phones. I can't really decide which of those I have owned was noticeably worse than my OG. Nothing really stands out.
Had the HTC vivid for a little while in between my atrix and LGOG and by far worst battery ever. Carried a spare on me at all time. Glad those days are over.

My Atrix 4G had pretty scrappy battery life. Loving the battery life on the LGOG. Although it pales in comparison to the Atrix HD with the EB40 battery mod that I used to have.

My battery life has been solid with this phone actually. I'm currently running GinSix 1.5 with sk8's kernel with the Conservative governor.
I have to say this battery is killing me. Anyone else seeing heavy battery drain?

Coming from a One x, I have to say no. I've been very pleased with the battery so far.

Been using this since full charge watching directv, plex, vevo, YouTube and battery seems decent. Still no match with my buddy's Note 2. But acceptable.

I had some issues with my battery when I got it. Turns out the stock clock/weather thing on the lock screen couldn't get a lock on my position (just kept saying "current location"), and would run GPS for 10 seconds whenever I unlocked my phone. After fiddling with GPS and the weather settings themselves for awhile to no avail, I said F it and just let it happen. Eventually it got a lock and since then battery life has been fine.
Battery is fine for me

Battery has been surprisingly good after the first day. Unplugged over 10 hours with about two hours screen time and at 60%.

WiFi Performance mode kills mine fast.
just returned a Note 2 and although its not right up there with it, its still pretty good.
I have been incredibly happy with the battery life. It's solid and wonderful.

Battery has it's ups and downs for me....like today I had less the 6 hours off the charger and got like 2.5 on screen time and battery was down below 30%...haven't been able to get over 13 hours on a charge with moderate usuage....turned off lte which helped some but not a lot

It has a non removable battery. How do we swap the battery if it dies?

Buy a new phone.
I started this morning around 75% and got to 8% in about 8 hours of heavy usage. I must have sent a few hundred texts today along with a bunch of snapchats, took a bunch of pictures, web browsing, some Navigation use, an hour or so of Skyping, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Battery saver was on, but I had data running all day, Wifi and LTE per the situation. It actually said that Messaging was the main battery hog at 32%.
What I've taken from it is that if you're going to be using the phone heavily, it doesn't hurt to have a charger.
Where do you guys see how much screen time is used? I don't see it with sense
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Weird, my battery just went from 8% to 32% from being on the charger for a few minutes.
I guess it's not calibrated very accurately yet.
It was at 54 percent out of the box. So it's had one full charge already.

You're all on WiFi. WiFi uses so much less battery life... real measurements would be LTE.

Real measurements are whatever YOU use the phone for. I don't get LTE at home so wifi is all I have. If you want a "real" test turn the brightness up all the way and steam videos. Your statement makes no sense.
Makes perfect sense. I have unlimited like tons of other people. Its a phone. Not a tablet. You're not going to be 24/7 on WiFi. To measure real battery is to be on a tower. Not your home internet.

After 5hrs I am at 60% remaining – LTE, Sync off, Falcon pro widget with hourly updates, 2 hours screen on with brightness @ 20%, about 1hour youtube, 1 hour music, 1 hour Streaming music (Tune in Radio & Pandora), 30 minutes browsing, 10 minutes calls.
GSam estimates 9 hours remaining with similar usage pattern.
My GS3 would have been 20% remaining by this time, very happy with the battery life.

Looking at some of your stats it seems like Chrome is a battery hog
It's used 15% of my battery so far compared to 26% for the screen being on 3 hours.
Im impressed with the quickness of the charging time. All results below consist of 40% of the time screen at full brightness, and 40% of the time at min brightness and overall average at about 60% brightness.
Drain:
Total use: 13h 52m
From 5% to off went about 25 minutes 4G streaming the Avengers from Netflix at min brightness. A rate of around 5 minutes to each 1% of battery life. (Image1)
Also impressed with the flatline seen here, that was sleep time from 3am to 9am, glad to see it consumed no power (coming from Thunderbolt so this is new for me) (Image2)
Charging:
Total Charge: 2h 20m
With the phone off, from 0 to 61% took 1 hour:laugh:, from 61% to 100% the phone was turned on and mostly idle with the display off other than missing a call and having to make a call - all on 4G took 1 hour and 20 minutes. (Image3)
I had about 4-5 hours of Pandora streaming during all this as well.
Wanted to embed pics but new here so cant post outside links. Overall happy with the battery and power managment with heavy use.
Put it on the charger. Great battery life.
Ended the day watching Captain America with Plex on the N3.

I was actually wondering the exact thing a month or so ago.. After just thinkin about it and testin out a couple of things, I figured out why it's there. It's actually "embedded" into the bottom right of each image that is uploaded to the forums using the Tapatalk app. :good:
