I'm facing horrible battery drain after marshmallow update. It drains (in idle mode!) around 5-8% per hour which is just unacceptable for me, especially that everything was great on lollipop (0-1% per hour).
I uninstalled every unuseful app (including system apps like google bloat). I'm not using facebook or other battery drainers. It drains even in flight mode (I tested it this night)!
I thought that my battery is just worn out, so I bought new one (original from LG). Of course, it doesn't help at all. Of course I tried full wipe (3 times).
Screenshoots (85% after ~10 min screen on and rest - ~2h) in idle - phone faced down = second screen was not turned on):
As you can see, my apps are not draining the battery.
I'm out of ideas, I tried greenify + amplify and ... nothing (I have galaxy s3 lte with cm13 + xposed and amplify, it's running 16 days and it still has 34%). It happened right after update to marshmallow (july). Now I'm on newest version (september - v20c).
Downgrade to lollipop with unlocked bootloader is not possible, right (it would be a pain comparing to MM's performance, but sometimes I need a phone which can stay in idle more than 2 days...)?
Did you factory reset after upgrading?

Yes. As I said, 3 times
Did you try flashing v20c with lgup and option to clear everything? You can also try v20a - it has best battery life from all MM based firmwares. Also did you try booting in safe mode to see if the drain will be still there? Here is how to enter safe mode:
Ensure the device is powered off.
Press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power button until the System recovery screen is displayed then release both buttons.
Select Safe mode.
Note Use the Volume buttons to highlight the option, then press the Power button to select.
The device starts up with Safe mode displayed in the lower left.
Note This may take up to 1 minute to complete.

Well, no, but I wiped /data /cache and /sdcard in TWRP so it is basically the same thing.

I had all versions installed and tbh all of them were the same if it comes to battery life. I don't expect something spectacular, but when my phone is draining 50% of battery when I'm in work (or by the night), then it's rather very irritating, especially when I know that on Lollipop everything was OK.
PS. It only affects standby mode. When I'm using my phone a lot, then SOT is same like one lollipop (4-4,5h).

I had a similar issue when I switched from G4 to V10. My cause was restoring from a G4 back up. Well fixed the issue by resetting the phone, not using LG Restore, and installed minimum app at a time. Now Im getting acceptable battery life. I also notice restoring Waz or Whatsapp makes these apps not fiction correctly, they should always be reinstalled from plat store.
So if you restore again install from the play store not from backups few apps at a time. I know its a pain but worked for me.
when did you update? Sometimes it take few days for MM to ''blend in''

It's definitely not the case
I think that I found the reason of draining. It's memory card. I have Sandisk Ultra 64GB, when I put it off from the phone for a night, I lost only 5% with full sync, wifi and LTE. They changed a lot of code of memory card management in MM. I will try with Adata 64GB later.

I'm using titanium backup, but it's not a case too, because it was draining before restore too.
Remove SD card and check.
I saw with "adb shell top -m 10" that android.process.media used 10% of cpu ...
My V10 was not only draining battery fast but also getting very hot after ROM upgrading. Give it some days and everything will be fine again. Try: full charge - full discharge until it cannot start anymore, and full charge again (only one round not more).
had the same problem after update to 20c - also had sandisk 128gb sd card. I removed it restarted telephone and now it is 3-6% at 3 hour use at standby. After update with sd card i had 20-30% of battery down at 3 hour.
Before update i did not have this problem.
OK, it's 100% MM fault.
Downgrading to LP is possible. I downgraded, restored all apps, installed xposed + amplify and now battery is dropping, well... 1% per 3 hours in idle. Performance is worse than on MM, but... battery is perfroming A LOT better.
Anyway, I will wait till 7.0 update.

I have an Unlocked AT&T LG V10 and I use another carrier SIM on it. I have not received any software updates via OTA even when LG Bridge shows that am update is available to download via OTA. Currently I am on 6.0 MM H90020J and I am experiencing severe battery drain both when using and on idle. Losing 20 to 30% overnight 8 to 12hrs.
I would like to know that if I flash the latest update manually from LG UP or LG flashtool, will my V10 get locked back again or will it continue to be unlocked like now and get updated?
This is the first time I have got an LG smartphone and have not much idea about it. Help me out.

Sorry for mistakes, hope it's not hard to understand
Looks like i have smth like this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515020 but on my RAZR XT910
When i bought my RAZR, everything was ok it was on 2.3.5 droid, when 2.3.6 released everything still was perfect, but when i started trying to setup custom ROMs, this issue started... I tried to get back to 2.3.5 through RSD - its not helped. Now i'm on T-Mobile 4.0.4, everything is the same.
Fully charged phone, idling, some calls, it goes to 80%, then it jumps to 20% then to 5%(during this, voltage drops to 3.5, but then goes up to 4.1-4.0 as it must be!) . Phone works well, it took about 4 hours for battery drainer to drain this "5%".
I tried to fully charge\discharge without using phone, i tried any tutorials that will help to "calibrate" battery. Nothing helped.
I think it happens when Voltage drops to 3.5, OS thinks that its discharged, but when it goes back to 4.1, battery lvl is still low.
Maybe someone can help me with this issue...
Now i just added battery info widget, which shows me Voltage, so i can understand charge lvl... thats annoying
And i cant go to Motorola Service(No official service in Russia) and cant return my phone, it will took a lot of time... and i think this issue must be fixed..
have you tried like the battery calibration apps in the app market?
i tried a lot of apps from market, and nothing helped.
Try do this:
Manual Calibration method:
A) Charge your phone to 100% (and let the phone charge for half an hour after the 100%)
B) Install bootstrap recovery
C) Reboot your phone through the bootstrap recovery program
D) In recovery go to advanced>wipe battery stats>Yes, wipe battery stats
E) Reboot your phone
F) Do 2 or 3 full charge/discharge cycle (100% - 15% < X =< 0% )
If this won't do, flash the stock rom and send it to RMA.
Never let the phone to reach 0% and die, your battery will take damages 'cause of that.
i think bootstrap cant be installed on T-Mobile 4.0.4
If you're rooted, you can install this
I've used it on the T-Mobile Leak without problems. Flashed the overclock.zip with it (But no overclocking on the Leak, the script won't work)
The risk is the wipe. I'm not sure, if it messed up with your Phone

That is true, but I wonder if Android seriously lets you drop your cells to 0%... It still has enough capacity to shut itself down without interruption. So I guess there might be an internal protection against reaching "real 0% charge".
Still it is not too healthy for your battery

thanks! razr is rooted, so it works!
now i'm going to test what Syriochan said
@sekall: yeah it is possible that 1% (or maybe 5%) remains, but it is also true that no developers noticed something during kernel developing for any android device. So it may be true but it's better to not let it drop under 10% or 5%
@amletika: Not sure if calibration app do the same (never tried one, always used this method) but i've had 7 android phones so far and battery life was always at it's maximum after wipe and cycles. (I believe battery stats are kernel or data related so i don't know if this will work for you, consider that maybe hardware is at fault in this case)

I have setup ics bootstrap. And made battery wipe immediately, when my phone was about 3.9V and was saying its 5% of battery. When i rebooted it was saying that this is 30%. Then i charged to 100% waited a little more and unplugged. Its about 24hours of using with normal load, and there was no battery lvl jumps!! Thank you guys!
P.s. i dont know what battery calibration apps does, I tried a lot of them, but only wipe through ics bootstrap recovery helped!

Hello,
I wanted to get your guys opinion as I believe my phone may have turned defective and I really don't want to go down the Warranty Route as I'll loose the phone for weeks. And willing to try anything suggested.
So here's the problem:
Battery Draining at very high rates. On stock battery, I am draining about 12% an hour, after 6 or so hours my 15% battery capacity left warning turns on. I figured it was the battery, so bought a double capacity 4200mAh Hyperion Battery. Now my battery drain is at 6% an hour (which is equivalent to the factory battery considering the double capacity).
I am currently on XXELKC 4.1.2 Stock ROM. When I first noticed the problem, I was on 4.1.1. Figured I would ODIN, Wipe all cache's, and start clean. This has made no affect on battery life.
Here's what I've tried:
- 4.1.1, 4.1.2 Stock ROMs from Wipe - High Drain
- Airplane Mode with Location Services Disabled - High Drain, but 4.5% an Hour instead of 6% an Hour.
- Disabled all Samsung Apps - seemed to have little impact
- Disabling Google Now has made zero impact on battery life.
- 4.1.1 BBS revealed nothing - may need to try again on 4.1.2
Any ideas? Or is this sounding like the phone? Is it possible after a wipe the phone, when I re-enter my Google Credentials it is restoring some data which is defunct and causing high drain?
Note: Screen shots are with the double capacity battery taken right after a clean Odin upgrade to 4.1.2. Only ran Android Activation and thats it.
It looks like your phone isnt going to sleep properly. Try a custom rom/kernel.
Have you done a full whipe ?? If not, do so, and don't forget to make a back up first. It worked for me !
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I had similar issues, I factory reset worked, and I also download rescan media root app to disable the media scanner which was my main battery killer.
WHen you do the factory reset make sure your phone is connected to the internet, so it will prompt google to store the apps you have and remote install when you sign back into the phone.
I have performed a full wipe but that had minor impact on battery life but I wounder if the Google Restore possibly restored an invalid setting. I will try this again without entering my credentials and see if there is a link with a restored setting. I will have to give the rescan media app a try as well.

Any specific kernel in mind. From what I've been reading no kernel seemed to stand up to magically solve battery issues without voltage drop or cutting services like Google now from the rom.
use better battery stats app to determine what is causing those wake locks.

I have attached a run with BBS for 1 hour. Nothing is really standing out. The phone was in deep sleep for all but 2 minutes. I did have Google Now and Location Services Disabled as that was eating away an impressive 10 minutes / hour from deep sleep. But my battery life only increased from 6% an hour to 4.5% an hour. An improvement but weak IMO considering the larger battery.
Results from BBS is attached.
I once had that kinda issue too
What I did was Factory Reset and that did the trick for me
How about trying the app CPU sleeper?

I've had this issue before on the i9100 Galaxy S II, where it didn't seem to matter what I did, it chewed battery just as soon as I put my Google account back onto the handset. I believed it was caused by the Samsung calendar bug. So absolutely; try it without putting your Google account onto the device.
Also, your WiFi signal looks low, although this has less of a difference compared to having low mobile coverage...

your first post has a huge amount of wakeocks that arent going to be reflected with an hours run on BBS. If i were you id charge it to 100%, unplug just before going to bed and then show us the BBS log in the morning so people can see whats happening over an 7-8 hour peroid

its not wifi always on, my wifi is always on too and i lose 2% over an 8 hour standby period.
Its more what apps are using the wifi connection and waking the phone up, thats what the op needs to look into
I have to say ive had pretty bad battery lately aswell. If op doesnt mind I might post my bbs log tomorrow sometime

More information can't hurt. Post in and Maybee there is a correlation.
OK. So I went ahead with your suggestions and did the following
Factory Wipe again from Settings Menu
Went back to factory Samsung battery for consistency in reports to other users
Took out both my sim and sdcard to eliminate those possibilities
Put into airplane mode
Disabled a bunch of apps (ss on next post)
Still bismal results but better than before. 7 percent an hour drain. Attached all the files. Ideas? Google says phone is awake but bbs doesn't seem to shed any clues for me...
And here are the disabled and installed apps
your phone isnt going to sleep at all....something is keeping it awake..try a stock rom ( any will do) with full wipe. Dont restore anything with titanium backup. Disable auto sync on everything. Set wifi sleep policy to always. See if the problem persists.

That last run posted was stock 4.1.2 XXELKC firmware and Factory Wipe from Settings Menu. I also performed Wipe and Cache Wipe in the Bootloader (Power Up + Center + Power). All I did was install bbs and never put in Google or Samsung credentials and disabled some stock apps from running.
If your not referring to factory Wipe, can you please explain further? Thanks.
Hello people,
most of the time, during the night, I left my phone in Airplane mode and usually loose around 2% (~7 hours).
But since some weeks, I find my battery lose approx. 1% per hour...and I don't know why.
I tried to find wakelocks but nothing really evident -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42248819&postcount=14809
So I'm wondering, if like me you're using sometimes the Airplane Mode, how much battery are you losing per hour ?
Thank you
I can use AP for about 10 hours (never tested longer), without losing a single percentage. Did you check for wakelocks?
1% if I hit snooze on the alarm 5-6 times over half an hour, 0% if I switch the alarm off as soon as it goes off (This is over 8-10 hrs).
Edit - Battery could be on the way out if you've had the phone for a while.

As you can see here there's nothing really obvious, for my part I do not see wakelocks
However, in normal usage, when I make some calls, I can see the battery draining much more than before.
I had some doubt about the open source RIL implemented in CM but I recently flashed an older nightlies (prior to open source RIL commits) and get the same drain in Airplane mode...around 1% per hour.
Anyway the small draining you get with your respective is showing that there's really something wrong on my phone.
The question is: What's wrong ?!
Thank you for replying
Quite weird, because I can't detect any bad wakelocks in that post either.. Maybe try another rom (Samsung based) to test it out? I don't use CM anymore so I can't say anything about it, but Samsung-based roms work really good.
No, you did not mention a new battery in your OP. This is the first time you've mentioned it.

My bad, sorry. I was sure to have mentioned that my battery was new. That being said, now you know that I changed the battery
Yesterday, I made a full wipe (again) ...factory reset, format /system, run GS2ROMNuke script then flashed the latest CM nightly.
After the first boot I just configured the Wi-Fi access point, my mail account and disabled location services. Nothing more than CM installed.
Then I waited the phone was in full charge (~2 hours),then disabled sync, Wi-Fi, switch in airplane mode and unplugged the power supply.
The phone has been left in this state for ~11 hours, believe me, the phone lose around 11% of battery.
I'm losing it
Anyone with an advice ?
Could it be due to the phone itself, some hardware faulty component ?

Same problem here on Cm. Just charge your phone until 100%,calibrate your battery by deleting batterystats.bin via twrp or with a battery calibration app. I did calibrate my battery two days ago and besides phone was charged 100%, after calibration shew 87%. After this you will see just an improvement.....

Try vova vafin cm12.1
Flash this twrp, it's just perfect: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwdRTuyj12_yR2xMREVkZnBacDA/view
In order to calibrate the battery via twrp you have to:
boot into TWRP recovery
/advanced/File Manager/
folder /data/system/
click batterystats.bin
click Delete
reboot system
If, after all these, problem with battery still exist, then consider of buying a new one

This is similar to what is happening to my RN2.http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/help/uptime-recovery-shutdown-0-battery-t3497868
With last charge it did ~1:45 SOT on normal usage.
After it shut down, I restarted and it was at 2% and I watch a video for 45 minutes before it went off again
Finally I did 30 minutes on TWRP with 50% screen brightness.
Which ROM are you using?
EDIT:
can you do the test with recovery?
After it shut down:
- boot into recovery
- set the screen brightness to 50% if you can
- time how long it remains on

If you can do 3h SOT, well I have to say you are very lucky compared to me.

Hii!
My LG G2 mini D620r is 2 and a half years old, and most of that time everything was ok. But, since two months ago, I noticed that the battery is draining much faster than usual. And also discharge wasn't happening continuously, but it had sam jums i.e. I would use phone for some ammount of time, and the battery gauge would show decrease in capacity of only a couple of percents, and then suddenly it would drop couple of percents more for no reason. Also I noticed that phone wouldn't charge up to the max. It would show that it is 100% full, but after only couple of minutes of idling it would drop to 97%.
After all that I thought that there was a problem with the battery and bought a new one. But it din's solve the problem at all. Problem just continued to apper so I came to conclusion that there was no problem with a battery.
I read somewhere that Android battery gauge can go crazy after certain ammount of time, and my phone in quite old.
So my question is:
Does anyone know what is the solution to the aforementioned problem?
Does this problem have anything with battery gauge?
And if it does, can it be solved by reflashing the stock ROM?
I forgot to mention that I'm using stock Android Lollipop 5.0.2, software version V20b-EUR-xx. Phone is rooted.

A few options you can try, cuz i had the same problem on my d620r:
- Calibrate your battery;
- Uninstall/rootuninstall bloatware by LG/google, and apps you don't need;
- Use Facebook Lite;
- Use Greenify and Amplify (ideally with xposed framework);
- You can try reflashing stock after full wipe, but i dont think it will fix your problems;
- Best solution > Flash a custom rom and do all the things above.
I didn't have that problem on stock, but on CM13. I was running xposed framework with lots of modules, V4A in the background and a custom kernel, but still, i don't think that was the drainage problem. I'm still using the battery that came with the phone, and flashing Resurrection Remix Nougat 7.1 by mobiusm, governor on ondemand and greenify almost doubled my battery life since cm13!

In september, I flashed CM 13 snapshot from august, and I noticed some bugs with it so I returned to stock Lollipop. I think that's when the problems started. Since then I have used Battery Calibration app (if you know some better apps of that kind please do recommend), installed Greenify, but not Amplify and removed some of the preinstalled LG/Google bloatware, but not all. I do not use Facebook app at all. After all that it came to my mind to do full phone wipe and maybe that would eliminate the problem.

I'd still recommend custom rom tho, preferably RR 7.1
And if you don't want a custom rom, make sure you are calibrating your battery correctly. By deleting the batterystats.bin file you dont really calibrate the battery, rather you reset the battery percentage meter. That is important of course, but before using the calibration app, make sure to do these steps:
Preparation: Hard reset the phone, root it again, install greenify (and amplify if you want), uninstall bloatware, charge to 100%. DON'T USE THE PHONE DURING THIS PROCESS FOR BEST RESULTS
1)Download Battery Waster and Battery Calibration from Play Store
2) Turn on battery waster (turn off flashlight option, it heats up the phone, turn on data, location and other battery consuming settings)
3)Drain battery to 0% until phone shuts down by itself.
4)When it shuts down, turn the phone back again for about 5 times
5)After those 5 or so times of turning on, put your phone on a charger without turning on (use wall charger if u can, and please use correct voltage of 5V)
6)When your phone shows full charge, unplug it and turn it on.
7)When you get to the homescreen, if you have less than 100% battery, plug in your charger again (without turning your phone off)
8)When it shows 100%, unplug your phone
9) Turn on battery waster
10) Let it turn off by itself
11) Do steps 4,5,6,7,8 again
12) Launch battery calibration app (root), and press calibrate
13) Restart phone
14) Greenify your apps and enable agressive doze in settings
NOTES: If on step 4 your phone sucessfully boots again without immediately shutting down, just continue draining your battery until it shuts down.
TIP: Keep between 40% and 80% battery
Hopefully your battery is like new again and free of its problems, but again flashing a custom rom other than fixing your battery, might even boost it, and custom kernels might boost it even more! (If configured right, that is).
IF YOU DECIDE TO FLASH A CUSTOM ROM, PLEASE DO THIS REGARDLESS
I hope I helped you!
Thank you very much @kasa ssg!
If this doesn't help, then there's no way to help me at all.
EDIT: Finally I found some time to do a recalibration of my phone's battery, and I think it worked. It definitely lasts longer now than before calibration. Also I returned to my phone's original battery that came with it first time it was bought.
