[Q] Battery drain - LG G2 Mini

Hello to everyone
I have some issue with battery, camera, ram memory after update to android 5.0.2.
First the battery, my screen light is 40% all the time, i use viber, whatsapp, messenger and chrome about 2h a day. Before the update, my battery life could stand approximately 2 days without charging now is about 4-6 hours a day, Does any of you have the same problem?
Secondly camera, when i shoot a picture from a distance of two meters I realized that the image is blurry in low light, but when i take a picture with flash, phone can't focus the object, in daylight the picture is pretty ok.
And third RAM, after closing down an app, and again open that app i realize that phone force stop that app, but after closing a chrome browser my screen freeze for two seconds..
I lost some Features, smart pause, widget on lock screen, plug and pop, LG Software when plug usb to pc, lost two or three options in connecting method?
I apologise for my bad english.
Thank you in advance

Did you OTA update or flased kdz file?

It's official version for east europe.
OTA.

I used 5.0.2 from first release and I can tell you the truth. It just sucks. LG probably released this update without fixing bugs to make people angry... They did it intentionally to tell us "Sorry, but your phones are aging. They can't handle it better" and forcing us to buy new smartphone. Sad, but It's true. On Lollipop I saw they fixed some things that was broken in Kitkat like GPS, blinking screen on low brightness (in my opinion they just increased minimal screen light equivalent to 10% on kitkat but I can be wrong) and some others. Battery life is worse and RAM management is terrible. I tried to make swap partition or test some settings on Low Memory Killer but without success. Phone started lagging and freezing from sometimes to often. 2 days ago I returned to kitkat and I am on ART. It's faster and more stable. I recommend you to flash good old 4.4.2 too
Some people will probably tell, that fresh rom is always faster. It's truth, but my uncle have D620R too. He's using stock and updated Kitkat on dalvik without root. When I get his g2m in my hand I just noticed that Kitkat is much better compared to my slow Lollipop

Would like to ask which software version you guys have? I have the V20b-esa-xx
Update
I have been testing out 5.0.2 on my D618
Here's what I have noticed:
The image quality from camera is the same, gps is still bad (still tells location inaccurately), speed is the same as it was in kitkat, and I believe battery is almost the same as it was in Kitkat. There are also some added and removed features and added lollipop animations

After checking out for a few more days, I can definitely confirm that the battery is a bit worse that it was in Kitkat. A few days ago, after I woke up in the morning the battery went from 24% to 14% (It went down by 10% just being on standby). Plus, I tried charging the phone overnight but to my surprise the phone is not event fully charged yet? I slept at 10:30pm and I woke at 4am, I checked the phone it's still charging at 98%...

Anyone know's how to fix this? I'm getting terrible battery life and one reason I bought the G2 mini over others is it's battery life...

Battery drain, Cell Standby

Hello, I have new LG P760. First thing, what I've done was update to Jelly Bean. But I experiences battery drain. Everytime, when I look at battery stats, there is Cell Standby on a first place and second or third is System Iddle. I've done hard reset and phone recovery in LG support tool. The problem is still here. Can it be hardware problem? Is there someone with experience like that? Sorry for my english
Exactly same for me. It happened after JB update. I found that device stays active even screen is locked when mobile data are on (battery stats app).
Conditions: factory reset after update, no additional apps installed
I hope just a bug and will be fixed soon.
Hello guys,
According to my experience, I think this is happening with you coz both of you flashed JB rom which is not for your country, there is no any solution to this problem until you got jb update for your own country.
I also faced same problem and got solved after update for my country (india).

well if this bothers you that much then maybe revert back to ICS is the best solution
Its exactly the same problem for me too!

Yeah I've noticed a increase in battery drain on my P769 running V20D.
On ICS my battery would last 2 to 4 days on average, but on JB I can barely get 2 days
Same here
I updated my phone via wi-fi with the official rom. And had the same problem. Battery drain. So i downgraded back to ics. I prefer battery life instead of project butter and google now.:good:
Now I'm just guessing, but it could be the google now app. Try shutting it off or don't allow the google location stuff.
Many were talking about the Google Now service which was a battery drainer. You should try and see the results. I also tried it,and the top 2 consumers were still Cell Standby and Phone Idle.
This thread might help with the battery drain. I think csrow found the problem

This is the same experience I'm having after the recent JB update on my P769. Battery life is now about half of what it was on ICS. Cell Standby at 35%, Phone idle 22%, Screen 20%, Wifi 11%..
Used to have plenty of juice mod/heavy use, was quite impressive. Now I have to carry a charger.
I too experienced crazy battery drains after upgrading to JellyBean (OTA update, P769 T-Mobile prepaid, pure stock, not rooted). I tried turning off Google Now after reading this thread, but it didn't seem like it helped much.
Last night we decided that my wife is going to use the phone instead, so I factory reset the phone before I gave it to her so she can start over fresh with her google accounts, etc. She left home this morning with the phone fully charged, and when I came home from work in the evening I checked and she had more than 85% left! Granted she didn't use it much throughout the day as she still carries her old phone, but she did use the phone to make some phone calls/chat and take some pictures. Just as a comparison, the last time I had the phone with me before the factory reset, the phone was draining battery maybe about 15%/hour just sitting on my desk.
So, for those of you experiencing battery drains, maybe you can try doing a factory reset if you haven't. I realize this is not something most people want to do unless it's guaranteed it will fix the problem, but if it's as annoying as my experience, maybe it's worth to try.

[Q] L9 P768 several problems

I bought an LG Optimus L9 P768 from a friend (my 1st smart phone ever), who has updated it to JB. I noticed that the battery behavior is not usual; I charge the phone about 3 times daily with only minimal 3G internet browsing and few calls. After some googling, found that some people reported the same battery drainage directly after the JB update.
My questions:
01- Has there been any update or patch to solve that battery problem?
- checking from the phone returns "You are using the latest software version for current OS."
- using LG Mobile Support Tool yields " Your device has the latest software available from the LG Mobile Support Tool"
"Software version V20A" (SCREEN ATTACHED)
02- As an Android primitive caveman, the 1st thing that came to my mind to revert the phone to ICS. Using "Update Recovery" in LG Mobile Support Tool.
- After asking me for my IMEI, it downloaded a 500+ file, then failed TWICE at 5%. (SCREEN ATTACHED)
03- I stumbled on [GUIDE] FLASH Any LG Factory ROM (kdz) WITH OFFLINE FIX METHOD [UNBRICK], but I cannot figure out how to get the official stock roms.

3A- Will any rom with the same model, i.e. p768, work regardless to the country?
3B- I also found THIS but the website looks suspicious, doesn't it? tried downloading that one from United Arab Emirates section, as it's the closest to Egypt where I bought the phone with it's working warranty in country, but I always get "Size mismatch after 23%".
NOTE:
- I'm not in love with ICS or even the official roms in general, I just want my battery to last as it should be without any weird application behavior.
- Any suggestion with any trusted custom roms are much appreciated as long as the battery will work properly.

Charge phone to 100 but leave it charging then factory reset and remove cable. Tell me if you see any difference in drainage after a few hours.

Despite of the fact that I did a factory reset before starting this thread, I did it again as you described with the cable on and then removed it. Unfortunately, the problem still persists. Using Opera mini on a 3G connection with 50% brightness drains the battery on the rate of 1% every 3-4 mins.
not sure about the battery problem only being with jb. but i could surely help you with rolling back to ics
and the website you found for lg firmwares is perfect. i guess everybody on the forum uses this website.

I succeeded in reverting back to ICS stock rom (downloaded a random 10A one from that page), followed cmahendra's guide and the unusual Cell Standby percentage is gone. But my impression is that the battery usage is still relatively high; why don't we, L9 users, make a standardized battery benchmark? using Antutu Tester for example, so that we don't rely merely on impressions.
I'll start by sharing mine. (See the attachments)
I know it cannot be that accurate due to different ram and cpu usage, which Antutu cannot control, but at least gives an approximate picture.

Hi, I'm havin the same battery drains after JB update, specially from cell and phone idle (ridiculous). I did the Antutu test: full charge, begin test and I lefted it with no use overnight; and I scored 463 (aprox in the middle of the chart).

I tested with Antutu again and the score decreased; 1st time (on ICS) was 399, 2nd (on ICS) 370, 3rd (on JB) 326. I think we need more users to share their test results.

Yeah, more results would be useful. I asked the LG support for help with this problem, they haven't answered me yet... I'll tell you if they do.
Solution?
Hi, I tried something that worked for me. I did this 2 days ago and yesterday I went from 100% battery at 9 am to aroud 40% at midnight. Apparently the battery needs to get calibrated after the update. Anyways, what I did:
Use your phone normally until battery gets depleted and the phone turns off by itself.
Then plug in the charger and turn it on again (you have to wait until the yellow icon dissapears)
After I turned on I saw that the battery was around 25%, wich was ridiculous considering it was depleted and it was charging only for 5 minutes, so I plugged off the charger and let it reach 1%
When almost depleted and before it turns off again plug it in and let it charge for a while (I left it overnight)
After that the battery estarted to work like before the update to JB. Phone and cell idle are still the most consming apps though, but well...
It's 2 days after that and battery is working fine, I'll update you if anithing changes.
PD: no word from the LG support... -.-

Horrible battery after lollipop OTA

So the wife took the lollipop OTA... Since then she says her battery life is incredibly horrible. After only one hour of normal use it went from 100% to 35%
The biggest problem I'm having is figuring out what I can do. Typically I'd have rooted the phone, flashed a ROM & never worried about OTA. With that being said, she doesn't want her phone modified whatsoever. She wants it left completely 100% stock...
Anything I can do?

Verizon says ...
The Verizon info about the update, mentions that it may take several days for the new release to properly calibrate battery usage: http://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/instructions-lg-g3-4-14-15.pdf
Battery life expectations post a major OS upgrade:
The application memory areas may have to be optimized. This can take time and cause the device to temporarily use more battery while the optimization is in progress.
It can take time for the new software to optimize its performance and for the device’s battery life to normalize, which generally takes 2- 3 days.
Downloaded applications may not be optimized for the new OS version as application developers do not immediately update their applications to support new versions of the OS. This may result is higher than normal battery drain and in some cases device sluggishness until the application is updated or removed.
download greenify, works with not rooted phone too.
I was hoping to not use an app for it lol.
But I talked her into letting me root it so I'll just be doing that tomorrow.

Factory reset helped a lot for 2 g3's in my house.

Those running Lollipop - what are your thoughts?

Now that there are a couple of versions of the 'official' Lollipop update floating around for the Z3v and people are using it, what's the verdict? What are your thoughts? Was it worth the wait? Is it running alright, better, or worse, than KK? Any problems or concerns?
It might help if you let us know which version you installed (.485 or .509), if you're rooted, and if you did a clean wipe and install or flashed over your previous version.

It does not. I don't think it works on either build, but I'm running version .485, FYI.
Multi-user / guest mode also has been deactivated and is missing.
Im actually enjoying the update, fun little things here and there. Im greatful to have the update everything works well.
I have the unrooted .485 build. To my knowledge almost everything is working perfectly. Battery life is the same if not better. I love Sony's take on material design. The only two things missing are multiple user accounts and the ability to do voice over data, but I do not think that will be turned on until Verizon officially releases the update. Since verizon hasn't released it yet, I'm positive they haven't "hit the switch" to turn it on for our devices.
I'm waiting for Verizon to push this to my phone but am a little concerned that pdanet/foxfi will stop working for me when it comes. Any thoughts on this? What are my risks of waiting on not rooting? Wi-Fi hotspots is critical for me.

I'm actually experiencing a dramatic DROP in battery charge longevity and haven't been able to find out what's doing it.
Other than that, the upgrade is "OK", but without the missing features that we're waiting on Verizon for, I'm not sure it was worth all the hassle.
I just look at it as good practice for when 2 have to go through all this crap again when they finally do release the good stuff.
Edit...
After having whittled down some of the background apps that I had done in K.K. (per Gigaspx's list), I am now experiencing much better battery life. Also, now that I have Xposed-lollipop-z3v working to tweak the interface, it's looking less foreign to me and more intuitive.
I had both versions installed and clearly prefer 509. I had WiFi issues with 485 and my phones was overheating while wireless charging. 509 fixed those issues and everything is working fine. Compared to 4.4.4 everything is faster and I rely like the new lollipop interface. I haven't done any testing but I think that the battery life also improved.
I'm on 509 and have seen a few odd things.
My GPS locked up the other day and would not update my location. I had to reboot to fix it. This has never happened to me on this phone before.
Hitting recent apps lags. It takes long enough to come up with the list of recent apps that I start to question whether or not I hit the button every single time.
Settings from Tasker profiles that have always worked without a hitch are not being respected. For example, the screen will continuously turn off after 5 or 10 seconds but when I check the settings for screen timeout it says 2 minutes. Re-applying the profile works as expected after.
Other than that I'm enjoying LP. I'll have to do some testing to see what I can fix.

I'm starting to have a constant wakelock. No idea why and I cant fully charge with a wireless charger.
I have only had lollipop a couple of days now (flashed 509). So far I like it. Battery is about the same, never have had any lag, maybe lollipop is a little faster? Several things I like - BT seems more stable, lock screen controls are now more consistent, and the security features are better (I use a pin to lock my phone). I generally like the small changes to the interface.
Things I don't like. The volume controls is not intuitive (muting etc). Themes don't work as well either. Can't seem to get navigation buttons to change.

I had Bluetooth problems updating to non root 5.02 without doing a factory reset. I switched back to 4.4.4, rooted and then updated with dual recovery and have had no issues for the past two weeks. My sony smartband talk watch was having a lot of problems which prompted me to go back to a clean factory reset 4.4.4 and then root. I used kingroot and installed recovery before flashing the prerooted 5.02. I'm getting 5.5 hours sot and its very stable.

I tested my Z3V on 5.02 with my son's Galaxy S5 and it does work including HD Video.
I was having the notification tray freeze up the whole phone from time to time. Had to force reboot.
Anyone else? It only happens sometimes when pulling it down.

No user apps showing in battery usage.

Hi All
Hope this is the right place to post.
So had my G5 since last Friday (17/06) and it's awesome the best phone I've ever had.
I have one small niggling problem that's not really that big a deal but it bugs me, in my battery usage I only ever have
Screen (56% currently)
Phone idle (32% currently)
Cell standby (4% currently)
Voice calls (3% currently)
Android OS (3% currently)
The first few day it only listed screen and cell standby, it's never listed a single game or app no matter how much I use them, spoke with LG support on live chat they don't have a clue what's up and don't seem to think it's a problem which it's not really but like I said it bugs me.
So I thought I'd see if the best tech support on the planet, the good users of xda had a clue to help me get this sorted, the phone works fine in every other way well apart from k9 mail not polling over night due to doze but sorted that now but that's a k9 problem.
So if you have any ideas please share, I've tried factory reset a few time and safe mode too.
Thank you in advance.
Same problem, tried some third party apps to monitor the battery like gsam and I've discovered that apps, even games, if they don't drain much battery are not listed in the settings, and in gsam are inferior to 1% around 0.X%.
Sometimes telegram and whatsapp pop-up, because maybe they drain the battery.
Happen the same on a S7 Edge of a friend of mine, maybe is a Marshmallow bug?

Thank you, good to know it's not just me and it could just be a bug in Marshmallow.
I did notice earlier after I posted that when I took it off charge for a minute or so it did list some apps, so looks like as more power was used they must of dropped off because they haven't used enough power to then register any usage.

Will see, I'm very happy with the battery life, the only two things that drains are the modem (where I work the signal is weak) and the screen

Same "problem" here. I use Youtube a lot, and it doesnt appear in my battery usage.
Just updated, maybe 10D solved this.
Will report tomorrow

Good to know just got 10d myself a few minutes ago, but strangely some apps started to appear in battery usage list this morning strange goings on with the G5 but I still love it.
Update: Your right it, it does seem to have fixed it all apps that I've used have appeared in the list.
Yep, solved too with the new update.
