EDIT: Skydragons kernel was the culprit. Not saying everyone who flashes his kernel will have battery drain. My phone just reacts to it differently than yours. But Flashing stock kernel or xdabbeb's Rom will fix this issue if you have it. I'm Currently running xdabbeb's Rom getting over 5 hours Sot again. I uploaded my new battery stats with gsam. CHEERS! :highfive:
Ever since I updated to 35b I've been experiencing terrible battery life compared to cloudys Rom where I went 20 hrs on battery and 5-6 hours sot. Now I can barely reach 3 hours sot. I've been trying to fix the battery problem for about a week now to no avail. Usually it's the android os eating the most battery. How can I fix that? I was running jasmine 9.1 Rom but battery life was terrible then I went to skydragon 6.0.1 and the battery life is still terrible for me. I'm currently running skydragon 6.0.1 any help is appreciated.

Sorry, didn't realize I posted in general
Back to cloudy i go until the 35b modem is fixed. It Seems that I'm having bad signals. Never had that problem before. And the 35b modem doesn't even work. It could also be the Rom so back to cloudy until further updates I guess..
The 35B modem won't work on JasmineROM 9.x and SkyDragon 6.x because in order to use it you need to have the 35B bootloader. The problem is for rooted with custom recovery that so far, you can't get into custom recovery with anything but the 12B bootloader, which is the reason why they have the 24B modem to begin with.
Sorry to hear you're having battery time issues. For what it's worth, my phone really likes JasmineROM 9.1, screen time and all.

Did you do a full factory reset? I'm running Jasmine 9.1 and I've ran both the normal kernel and SkyDragon kernel (for 35b) and battery life has been excellent. Did you dirty flash 9.1 over 9.0 or some other ROM? The instructions specifically state to do a full, clean flash. When you flash Jasmine, it states to first wipe system/data/cache/dalvik. Then, after you flash the ROM and boot into it, do a full factory data reset (it's required).
If you haven't done that, I'd say that is your problem.
You could also try going into TWRP and wiping cache and dalvik to see if that fixes your issue. If not, I would suggest an FDR and see how that goes and then finally, reflash it all, following the instructions I listed above.

but android os wasnt eating your battery in the first shots you posted and you said battery was bad.
now is about 30% which is high, the 5% from your first pics is about normal.
couple things,
-get gsam battery monitor, that stock monitor is garbage and wont help determine anything really.
- frequently, roms can take up to a couple days to settle in. so any battery issues you have in the first day or 2 carry Little merit.
- its good to reboot a few times each day for a day or 2 to help things settle.
- different modems can affect battery life a lot, because weaker signal is a big battery drainer. when you upgraded to 35b it got changed, then got changed again when you flashed jasmine. it would be helpful to put the one back on you had before all that, if you know what it was. if you dont know, because you never changed it, it likely was from whatever stock you had on before trying 35b.

Tyvm for the detailed response! I also thought it would be the modems as well. What I did after flashing back to skydragon from Jasmine was flash the 35b modem then seen that I had no signal lol. I knew it would happen but wanted to test my luck. Then I flashed 24b modem and all was well again. Idk tho. Shoudl I flash different 5.0 modems and test the battery life? I will be getting gsam and testing for a couple of days and report back to you. Thank you again.

sure, its a good idea to test the modems. everyone reports different modems working best for them, so advice on this is useless really. you will have to do your own tests to see which is best for you.
right or wrong, i have always judged how well a modem works based on its performance in the worst signal area i commonly visit. thats really where you will use the most battery on a bad signal, so making that better if possible always helps.

No. I can get a full day and half depending on what I'm doing.
Now, here's my question. During the 4 hours of screen on time, what are you doing? If you're constantly playing games, etc, that's going to drain your battery no matter what. Games especially will drain the battery.
Otherwise, you have another run away process or a bad battery.

i rarely ever game. im a heavy web browser and facebooker lol. thats mainly all i do. with occasional snapchatting. it cant be the battery as i bought my device new. and i only had the device for 6/7 months. and on cloudys rom and gabriels kernel i get over 5 hours sot everytime. 20-30 hrs on battery. but once i flashed 35b im getting high battery drains. and it looks like android os is killing it. android os uses 32% of battery. and it was never that high on cloudys rom. i tested the modems and i never drop down to 3g with any of the modems i flashed. i always have 3 bars of 4g or higher everytime....
@bweN diorD @iBolski I'm starting to think it's the kernel. My phone never liked skydragons kernel. In fact, when I first owned this phone back in April of this year the first Rom I flashed was skydragons kit Kat Rom and I could barely go over 4 hrs sot like I'm experiencing now.

Try the stock kernel, I believe the SkyDragon ROM installer gives the choice.

Hey guys. Just saw this article stating that the G3 has less battery life with lollipop: http://www.techtimes.com/articles/3...alaxy-s5-htc-one-m8-nexus-5-lg-g3-results.htm
Are you guys running LP seeing a drop in battery like the article??
Im not on stock but I am on Lollipop and the battery life for me has been about the same. I feel like Google really dropped the ball with Lollipop as far as battery life is concerned... like they were talking up project volta and how it was supposed to make battery life 36% better on lollipop for certain devices. Yet most devices seem to be struggling to keep the battery life they had before the lollipop update. I know there is a lot of factors and development isn't necessarily going to be perfect with such a new release but still...
I get at least the same if not better battery use, for me typically 80+ hours before charging, my record, 124 hours.

One thing everyone must remember. Not all apps have been upgraded to utilize any new programming APIs, etc based on Lollipop. Lollipop under the hood is a different environment. No longer is Dalvik around. It's now ART. Some apps still do things that are only available under Dalvik, hence they do not work under LP.
Also, APIs go out of date, also known as deprecated, as OS'es mature. Apps that continue to use old, out-dated API calls, or were improperly programmed from the beginning but could get away with it in older versions of the Android OS, are now showing their issues. This can result in either the app not working at all, or the app could drain the battery.
Android apps are a different beast from your normal PC Windows application/program. They should not run in the background if minimized/when a user switches out. They usually go into a suspended mode so that they are not consuming resources. Out of the box, when an app is written, all of that handling is set up automatically. However, it can be circumvented due to someone not understanding the Android app life-cycle, or they know it and don't care, and just do poor programming. Either way can result in an app that misbehaves and drains the battery, as well as consuming resources (memory, CPU, etc). That also leads to battery drain.
So, I think part of this is Google, but I also believe that most of it is due to apps that are not optimized for Lollipop. I would like to see, or know, if these tests were run on straight stock with NO user downloaded apps. That would give us a clearer picture as to whether or not LP truly does gain better battery life for certain devices (I read that as newer devices).
No battery life difference for me.
Only difference I've noticed would be the stock LP gives better battery life than AOSP

Yeah I keep forgetting about the out of date API's but I practically use only Google Apps, I pretty much have everything I need on Google's platform. I only have a handful of apps that aren't google but I rarely use them. Still haven't noticed a change in battery. Not that the battery is bad per say my battery is actually pretty good especially compared to my S3 back in the day. Ive just been seeing other people complain in different forums. But you're right they are probably not using fully optimized apps for lollipop if they are having battery issues.

My wife and I aren't that popular, so we don't talk on the phone much. She does use hers a LOT for games. When we got our G3s, I picked up a Verizon LG G Tab 8.3 VK810.4G as well, so now I spare my phone battery a lot for music in the car, GPS, some gaming and quite a bit of TapaTalk or other web browsing. About the only time I do any of those on my phone is when I'm at work killing time sitting on the toilet, or waiting for my lunch to heat up in the microwave.
gosh one of the main reason i was going to upgrade to LP and reading this it doesn't seem worthwhile anymore. are there any reasons to upgrade to LP other than maybe material design? it seems sort to just be a ui makeover now...

ART instead of Dalvik. It's much smoother now.

Another thing to do is give it a few days after upgrading. At first, you might see poorer battery life but give it a few days and it might stabilize after that and you might see better battery life.
Also, once you've done this, start monitoring the battery section to see which apps are consuming the most battery life. This should give you an idea as to what is going on. That can help you pin point better misbehaving apps.
Also, I use the Snap Dragon Battery Guru app. That can also help pinpoint apps that might not be behaving correctly, plus it can do some managing of things to help preserve battery life. Not sure how much it helps, but it hasn't hurt, so I continue to use it.
Just some helpful hints that I've observed with this phone. I used to use Greenify, but I have found that I can get just about the same battery life without it as I did with it (at least on this phone), so I've since removed it. But, it's still an option to look at it, and it doesn't require root any more, which is nice for those that don't wish to root. And it has helped me in the past with other phones. I just haven't found that it helps that much with this phone.

Note that stock LG Lollipop builds 23A & 23B result in the SnapDragon Battery Guru app claiming it's incompatible when you go to it's Play Store page, although I haven't tried sideloading/restoring it from Titanium Backup.

Ahh. Since I haven't upgrade to LP (still on stock and happy as a clam), this is good to know.
Battery life does not change whatsoever. The display is always the culprit. Can get 5hrs of screen time sometimes 6 per stock battery.

Which is why I believe, as I stated earlier, this points to misbehaving apps that are not "tuned" correctly for LP. It's always better to just wipe clean (FDR) and then start restoring apps one by one to see what might be causing it. But also, give it a few days to settle down too.
I'm still waiting for the "official" release and then, will wait to see if either root can carry forward or else, the latest root still works on the official release.
T-Mobile users can now upgrade via the software tool on their Windows machines (not available as an OTA yet for them). Seeing how the G2 is getting it already, I have to imagine the G3 is not far behind. I'd much rather they just give us 5.1 to fix the memory leak.
I have noticed much better battery life on 23B Lollipop. I'm not rooted or anything, but for example I can listen to Audible for my daily drive into work that takes me 1.5 hours and the battery will only drop to 99%. I got 23B following another thread here, but my wife got a replacement G3 and it offered the update to 23b before the SIM card or SD card had been put in the phone. My son has a G2 that got the official Lollipop and it actually required two updates to get there. 1 just installed some system prereqs.
I'm in stock 23c and battery life is the same as it was under kk which for me is a good thing as I got excellent battery life under 12b. I'm not rooted because I want to wait and see if/when another ota comes out to fix the Wi-Fi sync issue.
I just finally updated to 23c. Seems wifi works fine for me thus far. I'll see how battery life is tomorrow after a full charge /discharge. Everything seems pretty snappy so far. I didn't even do a factory reset. Hopefully I won't have too.
My wife has a T-Mobile Galaxy S5 running 4.4.4 kitkat and it's not rooted. She's getting horrid battery life... think ~ 30% battery left after 5 hours off-charger, without much screen on time... according to gsam, it's "always" the Kernel (android OS) and Android system that are the top 2 under app usage.
I'm tempted to suggest a wipe and reload... but I don't know what she should be experiencing for battery life...
What can I check to be better informed? Should I push her to move to 5.0 or 5.1.1?
4.4.4 was never released for the TMO S5.

Your right - I should have actually looked at the phone before posting... however, she rarely lets me touch her phone for fear that I will corrupt it... (root) and that I'll somehow screw it up... (was in the doghouse for a week last time when I simply updated a previous phone without letting her have a voice in the matter...)
Whatever the case, it's 4.4.2...
This is bizzare stuff where it will significantly drain while the screen is off, and the phone's not being used... but when you look, the top two are kernel and android system... (sorry for the crappy screen capture...)
usually 4.4.2 is good with battery but make the push for 5.0 the best between 5.1.1 and 4.4.2
root it install twrp then flash twi5ted rom or my andriod 5.0 rom

I have been experiencing some issues on my LG G3 (VS985). I have had this phone since its release date, 2014 I believe, and it has been rooted since I got it with several roms.
I had stuck with Skydragon rom for the longest time and all had been working great until about a month ago. My phone began to randomly start crashing and rebooting. One thing to note: when my phone would reboot, the battery life would show a HUGE drain of like 50%+. For example, if I was at 80% battery life and it crashed and rebooted, it would then be at like 10%. It began occurring more and more often to the point where I couldn't even get my phone to boot up completely.
During this whole period of crashes, I noticed that apps seemed to maybe be cache'ing? Or accumulating in the background process perhaps? I did have Greenify always running and I constantly manually closed apps using the process menu just to be sure, and this would indeed help a bit but not enough. I assumed this was a hardware issue of some sort.
Last week I completely wiped my phone and it restarted while installing a new rom. I ran into an issue, long story short, I hard bricked my phone. I restored it by flashing stock kdz, and when running stock (10b) it worked perfectly fine. I didn't get any crashes or reboots no matter how much I used my phone.
So all is good right? But I was on android 4.4, which I guess is fine, but I kind of wanted the latest and greatest, android 6.0 Fulmics Rom. So I flashed this rom and did all necessary steps and all was well (and full wipe as always). Until I started loading up apps again, and now I am seeing this issue once again. I have been going through all the settings trying to limit my background processes and continuously closing processes as I use my phone (even with Greenify). It is working as long as I keep doing this, but I feel like this is an extra step I shouldn't have to be doing.
I was hoping you guys may be able to weigh in on this issue I am having, or maybe you have experienced it too? Please let me know if you have any tips or suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated!! Worst case, I can always revert back to stock =/. Thanks for reading!

If you're using the original LG battery it is time to replace it. I've had my G3 since Aug 2014 with an extra battery & cradle & started to experience the same symptoms you describe with one of my batteries, but the other works great. If you can't get an original LG replacement - or it is just a ridiculous price - try Anker for a decent replacement. My wife has a d851 & had random reboots and massive battery drain too but then she bought a couple Ankers and the phone has worked great since.
I would try flashing the 10B TOT first, and then go for the battery option as @startswithPendswithOOH says, if the TOT doesn't fix it. TOTs fix problems that KDZs can't - they flash more partitions than KDZs do.
Also, once you flash any non-stock VS985 ROM, in other words, CyanogenMod/AOSP and international stock-based ROMs like Fulmics, some people's phones haven't behaved right again until they flash the 10B TOT.

Update:
It's Monday, and I received my battery on Saturday. Since then, my phone has not had ANY issues no matter how many apps I open/run without closing.
I must have had some fake OEM knockoffs that I ordered before =/.
Anyways, if you run into this issue, try the battery first!
I'll update in case of any changes.

HEY guys please post your battery stats and let me know the comparison from 7.0 --> 7.1.1 update did you guys see an improvement and how much. It was pretty evident that it was bad on 7.0 except a rare few cases of some people increasing in battery life.... well whatever post your screenshots please!!!
i notice battery was drainning fast after update.. so i did hard reset tru recovery and wipe data cache . now its seems back to normal. ill post sot later .. using stock 7.1.1. non rooted.
Could be placebo but standby time seems to be taking an improvement over the DP2. But of course, just had the 1st full battery charge will wait it out to post the outcome.
I'm on 7.1.1 Dp2.. Stock and rooted..

Not bad for a nougat update but I was hoping to see 5 hours sot.....if nougat can't get 5 at all at this point I believe it can't I'll clean flash the new update and if that doesn't work I think I'll downgrade to mm to get the once great 5hrs sot I used to get im getting like 4hrs as well on cortex Rom 7.1.1
First day on 7.1.1 and I am pretty disappointed. Have been getting around 4.5 hours SOT on average on 7.0. I am stock rooted with ex kernel. At times today battery was draining fast when on even with basic interaction. This is a dirty flash through FF.
Will try another day or so before doing a clean flash.
Was getting 4 and half hours of SoT on dev preview 2 but got reduced to 4 hours with the final release and somehow Google Play Services is taking up way too much battery. I dirty flashed stable 7.1.1 over dp2
I am on Stock+ custom ROM and kernel is elemental X.
My stats are attached.

HEY guys please post your battery stats and let me know the comparison from 7.0 --> 7.1.1 update did you guys see an improvement and how much. It was pretty evident that it was bad on 7.0 except a rare few cases of some people increasing in battery life.... well whatever post your screenshots please!!!

Thread is in place, already. Use it, thanks.
i have spent the last few hours looking for some info regarding battery life on the mi pad 4 and am about to just throw myself out the damn window! i keep reading about issues with the kernel and custom ROMs with no fix. some users report a 2% drop with custom ROMs while others swear MIUI is better or worse.
can anyone please give a clear answer as to what to do to conserve battery life? i currently on the latest arrowos and have a 12-20% battery loss over night and dont mind switching to a different rom.

Well I don't really use my mi pad 4 often, so basically it sits there idle. I lose around 4% per 24 hour in idle using carbon rom. Not sure which xiaomi build I used for firmware /vendor.
No battery tweaks, Bluetooth /WiFi /data always on

Well, sorry dude, I have no idea!!! Just spent ages goign through my pc files - newest xiaomi.eu rom I have is xiaomi.eu_multi_MIPAD4_8.10.25_v10-8.1.zip which has a file date of 07/11/2019, but I would assume I have flashed newer than that - vendor security patch is from 5 April 20
Latest MIUI xiaomi.eu I can see is here
I think you should try out crdroid. I've been a long time user of miui, from eu website. I tried most of the custom ones, was on bliss as daily driver before i finally settled on crdroid. It's got pretty decent battery life. The miui is very clunky in comparison and not worth the extra battery life (if any). Haven't tweaked any kernel parameters on this rom and device goes 2-3 days easy before needing a recharge. I use it mostly to read, browse, occasional video, check mail and occasional whatsapp video calls. I'm pretty satisfied with the battery
