Can everyone tell us if the battery life of the G2 is better or worst after the upgrade to lollipop.
Kk better
same for me
5.0.2 better for me
5.0.2 is better, 40h on, 7h sot (my best). 1h more than kk.
for me better 5.0.2. i guess maybe 10%. maybe in some conditions will be kk and in other conditions lollipop
Kk is better for me(cloudyg3 1.3)

For me KK still better.
Lollipop is better for me 30b
kitkat had much better battery stats for me...
Kk better for me
When i am watching the results here from the poll i am wondering to update or not With KK i got 7 hours SOT without any problem , with wi-fi and 3g ... Is it so bad with the LP ?
Stop posting Lolipop battery results if you're running a custom lolipop rom and not the stock one.
I assume people want to know if it's worth upgrading to lolipop.
At least that's what I also want to know.
I'm not sure whether to upgrade or not now
I just got given a new g2 a few days ago. I previously was using a galaxy S4. I'm getting literally double the battery life compared to what I got in my S4. I've hit 7.5 hours screen on time in a days use. With my galaxy S4 I was lucky if I got 4 hours SOT...
The battery life on this G2 is phenomenal. I'm actually really impressed with the G2 as a whole. The tiny bezels make it look sexy. The screen is bigger than what I had before. The awesome battery life. And IMO the camera is better too.
The only thing I miss is the sexiness of the AMOLED display. But overall I think the G2 is the better device. Loving it so far. This thread has made me a bit worried about upgrading to lollipop though.
I could take a full system image so I could go back to the way it was, I suppose. I'll need to do a lot of reading up. I'm very experienced with Samsung phones, but this is my first LG and I've only had it 2 days. So much to learn...
lollipop is better for me. after deinstalling Facebook and Facebook Messenger app the battery is great for me

This. I've tested custom LP roms and they had at best "meh" battery life. The Stock LP update from LG is fantastic, not as snappy as AOSP roms but great in terms of battery. But, you need a few cycles to get things going - around 3 to 5 and it's great.
IMO definately worth the upgrade. No problem going back to KK after (KDZ).
Better battery life for me on D80130b
for me has STOCK D802 20H the same as STOCK D802 30B
i cant say one is better ... i think LP (30B) is cleaner ...
I lived one week with lollipop, then returned back to 20D.
Camera is horrible in lollipop.
Standby battery is also horrible in lollipop.
7h sot on kitkat, 4h on lollipop, I had screen on top 31% and then cell standby 28%, not normal.
Can you guys post a battery stats screenshot?
I have a new G2 (got it on Friday), updated to LP immediately as I'm "in love" with the material design (came from an ageing nexus 4). Compared to the nexus, the battery is amazing, but I think I can do better.
For example, I unplugged the phone 8:30 hours ago, right now I have 81% left. usage:
1. screen - 29% (57 minutes) - automatic brightness, I think that the average was about 60-70%+ (mostly sunny outdoors + fluorescent indoors)
2. Cell standby (15%)
3. Android OS (11%)
4. Android system (8%)
5. Phone Idle (7%)
6. Wi-Fi (6%) - was apparently turn on but I am using it for about 4 hours. Other than that - 3G or 4G.
other than that, some apps (on background I have FB+messenger, whatsapp, hangouts but not heavy usage today).
I can estimate that I'll have about 3-4 hours SOT top. Do you guys think this usage is normal?
I also must say that I've done about 3 hard resets after updating it. I think about doing another one, however It's better to give it 1-2 weeks to see if it's getting better (new phone + new update).

I was thinking about moving over to a G3.
But from the reviews the battary life seems to be horrible on the phone.
Has that improved with the lollipop update? Or still about the same?
Thanks
I have zero issues with battery. Rooted and removed bloat and get all day into the next. Also I love greenify, with nova and a gesture to double tap to sleep and hibernate apps I get sick battery life.
Depending on lollipop. Running unofficial lollipop ive experienced between 5-7 hours of SOT. I've gotten up to 9 hours SOT on kitkat with battery saver apps. Try it out for a few days and see how it goes. Every phone doesn't respond to the same changes.
I've been absolutely impressed with the battery life in this device. Every once in a while, I'll have a day where it seems to drain faster than normal, but I'm sure it's a rogue app syncing. I get about 3.5hrs screen on time, and 17hrs off charger. Average. And it sleeps really well. When not in use, virtually no power drain. All of this is on custom ROMs. Can't speak to stock ROM, never ran it. Closest I've come is modified stock with root and with bloat removed.
Running stock lollipop now. The battery isn't anything special but its not horrible either. The standby time is very good.

Hey,
In common with other Snapdragon 801 devices I've owned (Nexus 5 & Z3 Compact - once latter has ambient standby modes active) and used (LG G3, HTC One), the OnePlus X has bad standby battery drain. The only one I've tried previously that I found *slightly* better was the SG S5 (which I assumed was due to the OLED).
I wasn't expecting any miracles, but I was hoping that the OP X would be better than devices with smaller batteries and perhaps equal to the SG S5, given both have an OLED. However both stock ROM and custom ROMS have epic standby drain on the OP X ... considerably worse than the Nexus 5 with a smaller battery & (old) IPS screen, and in the case of the device I have now a lot of use (friend gave it to me after mine got stepped on).
Is this something others have noticed, and is there any way to ameliorate it significantly?
Are there any kernels people have found particularly good?
I don't want to disable ambient and various standby / wakeup functions as it significantly limits the usefulness of the phone, and power saving modes seem to make the phone very slow - I already find it a lot more stuttery than the Nexus 5 (though it shouldn't be).
A friend who's had all the OP devices said the OP X's battery drain was particularly bad in his experience, so it seems I don't have a lemon so much as typical experience.
Might have to sell it and go back to the drawing board. Wait for custom ROMS on the ZUK Z2 (or Pro) or the S7 Active, if they come.
The best description I can give is that drain on my OP X with no radios active (mobile, bluetooth or wifi), and not touching it at all for 24H, it'll go from 100% -> 82-84%. The Nexus 5 with GSM & WiFi running, will typically go to 84-86%.
Anyway ...

Wow, you have serious drain...My OPX in those conditions will lose something like 7% (it loses 2% at night for about 9 hours on 4G). The OPX suffers a lot with low cell reception, so im guessing you have a weak signal right? If you are using 4g with a weak signal, my advice is to put the phone in 2g/3g mode (or just 3g)
Since I switched to aosp based Roms and poked around for some great kernel settings, I'm getting descent battery and low drain. Overnight maybe 2-4% tops with WiFi on.
Stock ROM: 4% but I'm not sure, maybe more or less
Custom ROM: 2% and for sure it doesn't have any battery drain

What ROMs / Kernels are you using? Do you have ambient display on or off? Also, do you have adaptive brightness set to on or off? It struck me that maybe if you have it disabled and ambient on, the OLED might remain in a powered up state but not displaying anything ...
The friend with one came back to me and said he got about 5 and a half days of standby on his (with no SIM card and WiFi switched off). I've left mine for about 65 hours now and it's down to 54% ... so seems that it will be similar.
My barely used (and therefore good battery) Nexus 5 used to last about 7-8 days iirc. Battery on the replacement that I got given is significantly degraded (though still last longer than the brand new OP X).
I had great experience with turbo and DU ROM. I just use the kernels provided with some audit settings I found in turbo thread. I've tried every cm based ROM and there great but had too many small issues. I must add that I only use 3g some people in almost every ROM report pour reception with mm. It's all trial and error everyone has a different experience.

I'm on DirtyUnicorns ROM with its own kernel, keep in mind I get 4.5h SOT when I use the device mostly of the time under Wi-Fi.
And yes ambient display on, for me it's a great (I came from a Nexus 4) and I've nothing to complain about the battery life.
Maybe I can get more changing some settings on my OPX? :good:
How is battery life? Actually, is oreo good in general? Im between going to stock oreo, or staying 7.0 persian rom.
Positive feedback :
contact and sms have no lag now...
smoother than nought
taking photo faster than ever
negative feedback :
Auto bright doesn't work well
setting ui and notification panel hasn't good ui(my idea)
Battery life is not as good as nought
I want back to nought... last build of nought is really good

You are talking about nougat 7.1.2? Because i am currently on 7.0
Oreo is nice, Settings app aside I have nothing to complain about.
Not a custom ROM guy though and I much prefer being on the latest patch level.
Sent from my Sony Xperia X using XDA Labs
I've being using it since it came out.
My feedback:
- Overly it is good, but the new notification management is pure BS (I want notification as it was on nougat).
- As for battery, for me, it is pretty much the same as on nougat (since I use a lot my phone a data and rarely on WiFi) didn't notice a big difference.
Oreo drains my batttery
15% battery dropped to 1% after 1 hour even my X on Extreme Stamina Mode

1 hour SOT? Or STB?
I think it's quite bad. I get about 3 hours of usage from near 100% charge to 1% charge. That's roughly 1 day usage. Whereas with my XA1 Ultra I can literally do the same stuff I do on the Xperia X and it will last 3 days.
My Xperia X is rooted with XGEN stock based custom ROM installed though and the XA1 Ultra has legit stock Oreo.

Hi
How is the battery life and performance on oreo compared to nougat on tab s3? I'm worried that the oreo update will decrease battery life and performance, so I haven't updated it yet. I read many posts about the oreo update messing up the battery life of Samsung s8 phones, so I'm very sceptical about the oreo update.
Thank you in advance!
In my opinion, the battery consumption is far more worse, than I've expected.
But that's no big news, because it is/was the same with the nougat/oreo update on the galaxy s9.
Got the v8.0.0 April 1 2018 update yesterday. So far zero issues.

But is it significantly worse than with nougat as the os on the tab s3.
A couple of days in and battery life seems to be a lot better than with the previous OS version. I find I don't have to plug in again until well past lunch time where as before I was plugging in at lunch time. So better battery life and the UI is feeling a little crisper and faster.
Sorry long time irregular user here but on my US wifi only S3 9.7 if that's what we're talking about here, the battery usage is waaay worse than it was before the update 2 days ago which I thought previously was excellent. I don't buy tablets to tweak them but it seems like I have to do something, I did try a list of tips I think I found here when I got the device in December I'll try to dig up, assuming that doesn't work I'll be in here asking noobishly how to roll it back.
I did not do a factory reset after the upgrade from nougat to oreo.... It's still lagging.
I have done nothing after the upgrade and continue to have superior battery life than before.

Hi, did you do factory reset?

Negative. Did the upgrade and restarted the tablet. I don't do factory resets.
Oreo improved my s3's speed, minimal lag now. The battery does appear to have taken a small hit tho.
Mines turned into a lag fest and the battery is shocking. Its made a top of the range tablet into a dog.
Upgraded to oreo yesterday (Verizon U.S.). No reset here. Battery life seems worse. 10% drained sitting on my desk for 5 hrs doing nothing, mobile data turned off, wifi 'never' on during sleep.
Battery drain is fine for me. Looks better than before.. Stock WiFi not Verizon.
Update: After a few days of battery drain, things seem to have stabilized now. I seem to remember seeing something in Battery settings stating 'determining battery usage' or something similar. So maybe it takes some time to get straight, but all seems normal now.
That said, why was Oreo even released? I see no serious added features or performance gains. Only a few surface changes. But hey, at least we now have numbered badges. Big deal.
What kind of screen on time are people getting on custom roms?
Please note which version of the g5, which rom, and how much of the use was mobile data or wifi.
I really like the G5 hardware, I have an h820. This particular model is not even rootable. I am getting awful battery life on Oreo, and am considering selling it to get a version that I can flash custom roms on. I was able to get much better battery life out of my G2 on LOS than stock.
Currently I can only get ~1.5-2 hrs of screen on time at the very most, over roughly a 8 hour period, using mobile data. When using WiFi, I can get about 1 hour or screen on time for 20-25% battery use. Standby drain is negligible with wifi.
