What in the WHAT!!! My battery life has been up and down since I've had this phone. I sotpped using the GMAIL email app and am using Type mail for all my accounts. That seemed to help out with a small bit of the battery life, I didn't do any specific tests so it could actually have not changed anything at all. I'm having a very strange issue yesterday and today. I'm at my new office, signal strength is very low, but there's still 4G and a tiny bar of service. Additionally, I have WiFi available to connect to so the data shouldn't be straining to use the cell radio. I have my phone plugged into the wall (it's not the fast charger, just the regular Samsung plug) and the battery IS DRAINING!!! How is this even possible, what is chewing up my battery life? I've also seen the phone slow in it's responsiveness lately? I am considering a soft reset to factory, but I don't do anything really crazy with my phone. I email, facebook, text, and have Nova Prime and a weather widget. What is going on with this thing?

Take a look at your battery status. Post a screen shot when you experienced a bad drain again.
Try not to use wifi at all
Did you install one drive during setup. Check the camera upload setting which is turned on by default. So all ur pics upload to cloud on wifi. See if this setting helps

I looked at it yesterday before I posted...and I should have taken a screenshot...but the top two were Cell Standby @ 14% and Android System @ 13%. I will have the opportunity to grab a screenshot later today. In contrast though, this morning in the last 10 minutes since I've left my house I've gone from 95% to 90% and this reply and an uber was the only thing I've done on it since taking it off the charger.

That's not an option. I have a low data plan, 3GB, because it is SIGNIFIGANTLY cheaper and I live in DC where I have free Wi-Fi almost throughout every inch of the city. Plus when at home I have my phone on my network to take advantage of Wi-Fi and corporate resources.

It wasn't installed during setup, I have AT&T, but during the install after I made sure to disable all those features and verified it was still disabled. All the cloud apps I have disabled any upload features.

I can't post it on XDA yet due to the external link limitation since I am new to the forum. Just copy and paste the URL removing spaces in the URL beginning.
I am regularly seeing Lag free performance with five hour screen on time. I started with less than 2 hours SOT and constant lag.

hey guys, I have both the Flyer 3g, and the EVO View TAB. And i noticed the battery life on my Flyer sucks. it will not last half as much as the view. I think the View has a 4000mah battery, does anyone know if its the same for the Flyer 3G?
if not does anyone know if i can maybe buy a replacement battery for my view and solder it on my Flyer(assuming its soldered on)?
I haven't really had a problem with battery life... 8+ hours of work use (you know, youtube, note taking, checking email every 5 minutes...)
I don't know if anyone would bother creating an extended battery for this, since the battery is not removable... not saying it's impossible, but I haven't found anything...

I wish i had 8plus hours. I wonder if its the phone calling thats been draining my battery.
Well ... i use battery monitor all the time. What I found out is that with 3g disabled notetaking plus audio recording consumes an average of 600 mah. With 3g enabled it jumps up to 850. With 3g enabled i get 4h 30m display enabled. Without 3g but still using wifi i get 6 hours of display enabled
Think about getting a battery pack like the treckstor dual port. It can charge the flyer up to 80% battery life.

This is the Q&A section of the board. You made a statement.
Apart from getting roughly 3 hrs of screen on time with around 63% of battery (this based purely on your screen shot & may not be entirely accurate given the complete lack of detail you've provided), this tells us pretty much nothing about your usage.
Well you've probably had about 3 hours screen time + 3g + Bluetooth on and connected as well. Seems fair to me.
Anyway, with so many battery related threads why not just post there instead of starting a new thread?
Sent from my GT-I9100T
Really, what for new thread?
Not clearly...
Turn on GSM-only in the network settings. Turn off bluetooth and auto-brightness. Sync and background data also sucks the hell out of your battery ^^
this is my usage. the battery keeps reducing even during idle, with no wakelocks, by around 3% an hour. i've set the setting to gsm only, turned off wifi & bluetooth, turned off auto syncing, but its still like this.
and in the 2nd attachment picture is the rom i'm using
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
looks good but how is your on screen time?
is that considered good? cause i've seen a straight line (only losing 1 to 2% over 8 hours) during screen off time. i don't quite like it now cause i always fully charge before sleep, and when i woke up it only remains 70%....
on screen time, i've never fully use from 100% to dead, so cant be sure...
Try the JuiceDefender application (Market). The free version is good enough to help you out. I use the ultimate version and using my phone all day long (3g, internet, sync, gps) I can easily got 40% to 50% left at night (full charge in the morning).
i dun think i'll need juice defender...i always do everything it does (i.e turning off 3g, wifi, bluetooth, sync, gps) when not in use...
You need autostarts, I paid for it and its made having my phone possible.

Don't use Juice Defender. Unless you want to use more battery. It uses far more juice than it claims to save if many people on XDA's experience using it holds true. Plus, as Thonney quite rightly pointed out, many (most) of us already do the things it does manually which takes all of a few seconds & costs zero battery.
Bought the wife a 920 to match mine and after three charge cycles we still get this

You could try to reset the phone but you will have to reinstall all your apps so I would use the backup feature before you try it. If that doesn't work then you would be better off exchanging it if you are within the 14 day return policy.
the est time remaining is a dynamic estimate, it will change depending on use. i've read that it could have something to do with google accounts constantly syncing if you are experiencing poor battery life. a reset seems to fix it for now, i would try that, and if it's still poor, exchange it like bjd223 says..
Well, it hasn't been charged since but it's showing 9 since last charge and 9 hours remaining with 35 percent left. That initial amount was disconcerting though.
like i said, it's all dynamically changing and is based upon the usage pattern of the last poll, so if you were using the device heavily and then went to check the battery saver stats, it would base the est time remaining on as if you were using the phone in the same way until the battery died. if you start using it less and then go back and check (like i'm assuming you did) it will give you a new estimate based on that usage pattern. i've had it tell me i have 50% left and like almost 2 days of time remaning.
android's battery graph works in a similar way, it just shows you more detailed information of what's using your battery.
Agree with @adiliyo that the phone battery status will keep changing on how you are using your phone. I get around the same time as my lumia 900 and sgs2 which is anything between 13 -19 hours depending how I use it ( I am used to overnight charging).
Some Battery Culprits
Nokia Drive Beta + ( If you open this when closing it is suggested to keep pressing the back arrow key until you reach homescreen to exit it properly
Background Tasks - Disable whatever you don't need to in the settings menu
Email Sync - Try using a longer duration ( I use one hour for four email accounts )
and I always switch WIFI or Bluetooth off when not in use.
And Poor Network Signal will always drain your battery as the phone as to work harder to get a proper signal also resulting in the phone getting hotter especially during browsing
Are others having this? i mean i go through a full battery about twice a day.... I cant figure out what is draining it so bad. i have used WLD, greenify, and bootmanager to try to figure it out..... None of my apps are ever on the battery list, and screen is around 50% usually with android system and android OS always being up the list. I always thought it was my bad signal strength at work but i had two weeks off and my phone NEVER lasted even close to a day.
I have factory reset once but loaded my same apps backup.
I heard someone else mention that the sprint has this weird battery drain that is explainable and was wondering if others see that also.
I am on the search for a 6000+ mah battery i know it will have a replacement back plate but i don't want the whole case thing like the 9000 zero lemon.
Sounds like kernel wakelock
As of the last two days i have also been experiencing much faster battery drain. Have had the phone since launch and never had this problem.
I do not use the device in excess. Very few if any phone calls per day, some texting and gmail, occasional skim of xda, huffpo, phandroid apps and very light Twitter use if bored and not near the computer.
Battery has dipped 5% since writing this post...that's all of 1-2 minutes in use.

That's not normal for a Sprint LG G3. A couple of questions:
Have you looked at the battery stats page to see what app(s) are using the most battery? I'd suggest taking a screen shot of that page and posting it here.
Have you tried rebooting the phone? If there's an app or process running out of control that will often clear it up.
Are you rooted? If so, install better battery stats so we can get a better look at what's eating the battery.
Finally, you might want to take a look at this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...android-system-eating-your-battery-check.html
While it's unlikely you have the same problem I did, the tools and techniques I used to debug it might be useful for you.
Gonna wait for some custom roms to see if the problem just goes away.

Dude the battery app should show you what is causing it. Something has gone rouge!!! I just had my weather app running in the background using GPS for 5 hours, yeah my battery went way down. Freeze some BS apps. I routinely get 30 hrs plus on a single charge. Not the phone itself something you are using is causingi it.
As requested, my craptastic battery info. Brightness was 83.

bought BBS, phone is up stairs charging... imagine that... will post those screens next drain...
Does anyone know if these numbers are correct? They look really low to me. After coming from the nexus 6 and it's quick charge capability. I've noticed this is taking waaaay longer. Where are these numbers supposed to be? Of course this is with the lg V10 quick charger that came with it.
I'm grateful for any assistance anyone has. Thank you

I'm pretty sure quick charge variates the closer you get to 100%.
Its odd...I feel the same way and I came from nexus 6 lol
Hell, I feel plugging it to my laptop is faster...might just be my charger.
Ditto -- seems very slow.
280 seems crazy low. 740 isn't too bad although it's much lower than the charger can output. Mine isn't much higher now, either...
940. For some reason the screenshot won't attach.

Mine charges insanely fast 14% to full in just over an hour last night. My proximity sensor on the other hand is driving me freaking batty. (off topic sorry).
I got my LG V10 yesterday and it ran very warm and would not charge quickly at all, even with the fast charger and screen very dimmed. It was actually losing charge even when connected to a decent charging source, and barely held its ground with the LG fast charger. I poked around and one thing consistently was reported that I had not checked - LG's email app and Exchange privileges as a big source of battery drain. I use the Gmail app, so I had not even put my email address into the LG Email app (and I don't use Exchange). On a lark, I put my Gmail address into the LG email app. It was like night and day. Once the LG app had downloaded the emails, everything cooled way down and charge rate went way up. My battery app showed that the temp of the battery fell from the low 40's down to 35 - 36 C, so I'm guessing the CPU activity had also fallen off dramatically. The battery app also showed charging current going from 100 to up over 900 to 1100. I was also able to consistently raise my screen brightness back up quite a bit.
