I just heard about this app elsewhere...and found the dev's thread on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-dns66-source-host-ad-blocker-root-t3487497
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.jak_linux.dns66
Running it now. Quite fast and elegant. Runs fine so far on v20. Adguard for example seems to interfere with LG's firmware updater, whereas this app does not.
I just uninstalled adguard to give this a try, my bigger concern is battery drain. I'll run it over the weekend and see how it does. Thanks for this
Used this all day today. Does a pretty good job at blocking most ads, I still see some here and there. Biggest disadvantage to this is the battery drain. It seems my phone is being prevented from going into deep sleep.

I just did basic homework with the built in battery stats monitor and GSAM. I haven't even looked at wake lock readouts.
I'm just chiming in to say that I used this adblocker for the past few days and my battery has been rather unimpressive. I'm going to try tomorrow without the ad block turned on to see if there's any noticeable difference compared to today at least.

Notice anything?
Thanks for the suggestion.
I'll use it and post if I have any particular issues (battery drain, etc.)
I used this on my G3 for like 2 weeks and it worked pretty great. Going to put on it my v20.
Thanks for posting this, going to try it out.
Just installed this. Works great on my Verizon v20. So far has blocked all the ads in apps that were driving me nuts!!
Those who try it, please update with any battery drain info! I would love to use it if it didn't decrease battery life and/or keep my phone awake. This also seems like a common concern among many.
I'm been running it for a day.. So testing the battery life but for people already using it.. Does it stop YouTube ads?
Doesn't work on ads with YouTube, battery seems good and normal from before installing DNS66.
Issues I'm running into is with ChompSMS, it has issues receiving MMS. I tired changing the settings from Legacy to System but still won't work.
I've been using it for one day now. I am running a completely stock unrooted V20. I'm not a power user, so I'm not running a lot of apps that have ads. I did test it on all of the apps I have that run ads and it seems to be about 95% effective. This is great for unrooted users!
As far as battery life goes, I let it sit for about 5 hours with all apps closed and greenified. It was still at 100% 5 hours later. The day went on and I mostly just took some pictures and did minor amount of web browsing. It's now been about 10 hours since charged and I'm at 93%. App info in settings says this app has 0% battery usage since last charge. It looks to me that if you aren't using any apps that have ads it won't drain the battery. That's good news if you are worried about battery drain in standby or while not using apps with ads battery life seems normal. If you are worried about battery drain while using apps that have ads, then you have a choice, see the ads and preserve battery, or don't see the ads and charge more often. I can't confirm at this point if drain is higher with it activated and actually blocking ads versus not blocking real time ads. I'll try using some apps that have ads with it activated and with it off and see if there is a difference and report back.
Thanks @Skripka Nice work!

I have noticed my battery sucks lately. I know the battery isn't the greatest but I was able to get easily a day of use out if it. Now I can barely go a day. I purchased beautiful Widgets, battery indicator and xda app all last week And it seems after that is when my battery went to **** .I used launcher pro for a bit too but started having lag problems so I removed that. Today I uninstalled beautiful Widgets. I'm on wifi and in airplane mode. As I'm typing this I've lost %2 already. Wtf is going on? I have GPS Bluetooth and usually wifi off. I have use only 2G networks, sync only gmail and screen manually set and set to low 30sec TO.
Any suggestions?

Quick question, which ROM are you running? Ever since I switched over to leaked JI2, every couple days I notice that after running one of a few apps, the CPU just seems to go into overdrive. The phone gets really warm and the battery drains ridiculously fast. So fast that even plugging into my car charger won't charge the phone, even on idle. If I reboot, the phone cools down and the battery drain goes back to its normal, slow self.
I haven't narrowed it down to any specific app yet, but it seems to be either, Foursquare, Great Land Grab, or Bubble Blast.
Foursquare I have, I don't remember when I installed it. I am actually just running stock TW.

I get 15hrs... I am not ROOTED! I did the drain battery life process twice. This is with moderate usage. I am planning to do the drain battery process once a month cuz I hear it helps with battery life. Possible that u install something that's killing your battery.
Solution do the master reset if that doesn't help then it can be the battery is no good. I know that this is with the stock rom. If u are using another rom that's maybe the problem. U can try switchig roms to see if this is the problem. I hope this information has been helpful.
Does the master reset remove everything ? I have all my pics/videos on my phone meM. I have music and avatar on SD.

It seems as though it drains faster in standby with nothing running. I removed FourSquare last night and have nothing running as far as widgets. I'm going to reboot and see. I've had it unplugged since 7am this morning, after a little over an hour I lost 2%.. not that bad I guess..

I've had this happen a few times. For me, it's usually because my battery status gets thrown off somehow. The phone would read that I have 55% battery life left, but it really only is at 25 or 30% and it always feels like it's draining fast. I usually turn off the phone, pull the battery out for a few seconds and then put it back it. When I turn on the phone the battery percentage is corrected and the phones seems to be back to normal battery use. I don't know why this happens.

This was suddenly happening to me today -- my battery started draining very quickly, mostly on standby (I usually have quite good battery life). No new or unusual apps installed in the past week (I don't use Foursquare).
I gave it a power-down/battery pull; no adjustment in the % as described in the post above, but it seems to be draining more normally now. Weird....

Same thing happens to me every couple days. Rebooting the phone fixes it every single time though, so it's not a big deal if I catch it in time. If I didn't catch it, I'd estimate my phone would be drained (even in standby) within 4 hours or so.

Same here, I rebooted after removing FS and some other apps/touitur and got 1day 13hrs on the next charge with pretty moderate use. So whatever it was, it's gone now. If it was FS hopefully it's fixed soon.
Had a similar experience, with battery % entering freefall every time I turned the phone on. Two things helped:
1. I did the drain cycle. Drain the battery completely till it shuts off and charge it to full while off. This does not 'fromat/form' the battery in any way it just helps the phone to calibrate the meter.
2. I uninstalled few apps that I suspected were draining the battery.
I advise you install JuicePlotter and see the graph of battery drain. You'll be able to tell if the phone is entering standby or not. Thanks to some culprit apps (still figuring out what it was exactly) my phone was not entering standby at all hence the crap battery life.
Is there anyway to reduce the amount of battery the Android OS uses? It is currently using 61% of my battery, which is quite a bit much. On my previous phone, the Android OS would only use about 10%. Are there any solutions to fix this? On my other phone I shut off the "Back Up My Data" setting and it solved it, but on this phone, it doesn't help. Any help is much appreciated
Have you tried the fast dormancy disable app in the apps section?
I don't even know what that is Lol Is that pre-installed on the phone?
Look in themes and apps in these forums there's a thread. Install the app disable fast dormancy
Isn't there a way to naturally stop it? I mean, the Androis OS shouldn't be using that much battery. it must be something in the setting, right?

my wife's is around 30% and her standby time is obnoxiously good. 48+ hrs between charges
There were some funky reporting bugs in ICS on the SGS2... they didn't really hurt battery life though, there. Are you seeing fairly decent life, or not? Can you, for instance, get 18 hours off charger with 3 hours combined screen on/calls? If so it's probably just reporting errors.
I was seeing high numbers like that on stock ICS on the LGOG, but was also getting zero deep sleep. I just went to JB to fix both that bug and fast dormancy problems... not sure if those 2 were related or not, but got them both gone.

I'm not seeing bad battery life. The phone will go 20-30 hours on the battery. I just know that the OS isn't supposed to be that high on the battery usage, so I was just wondering if maybe I'm not getting the battery life I could be getting. Maybe it is just a reporting bug.
That is a well known reporting error with ICS. Android OS isn't really using that percentage of battery.

Today I woke up and the battery was at 26% after unplugging it at around 11:30 pm. I usually wake up with around 93%. The Android OS had used up 91% of the battery for whatever reason -.- I finally installed that fast dormancy thing. Hopefully it helps.
When the phone has higher than normal OS %, it's because of wakelocks that is preventing your phone from going into Deep Sleep State (CPU). Install Better Battery Stats to see if what is keeping your phone away under Partial wakelocks and/or Kernel wakelocks and also what other alarms might be affecting your phone. You can also use the same app to see how much time your phone is at each CPU State.
Yeah. If your phone is draining by 70% over night that's a bigger problem than just Android OS

When I was on stock 4.1, I was using around 15-20% overnight then I flashed CM stable 10, happily saw the overnight usage drop to 3-6%, then I flashed to CM 10.1 M and now losing 11-16% overnight. Running "deep sleep better battery pro" in slumber mode with little success. Have had issues with that but that's another story. Still in experimentation mode. Starting to use "best battery stats" in hopes of getting more info.

if you install snowjb it already comes with fast dormancy fix. on that rom, android system doesnt use much battery at all. here's a pic to show what i mean.
I think what we are seeing is that kernel wakelocks -- which can be caused by apps -- get lumped in under Android OS.
For example, I was seeing about 9% sns_async_ev or something wakelocks that went away when I froze Smart Wifi Toggler. This made no sense to me but it turns out they were caused by the app accessing the barometer, and turning that feature off virtually made them go away. Overall this was just a small amount of time awake, but all of these add up in that category. It would have been nice to see that under the app itself but there's no way to differentiate that.
I'll start off with my zerolemon 7500mah which is killing it right now its all stock kernel conservative row setup just check out this thing man

I found the thread, only thing I put back was the option to keep WiFi on all the time not just when charging, I noticed later that it didn't matter, so I put it back as default.
Here is the thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2734356
I actually just finished going through it. I had done a large number of those tweaks, I did the same as you with the Keep WiFi on, didn't notice a difference when I toyed with that setting a while back. I did turn off hotword detection, so we'll see if that helps. I also saw someone mention the pedometer was draining theres. As I use the pedometer on my Gear, I didn't realize the device still had the pedometer running as well, so I disabled that. Can't think of too much else to mess with, but we'll see if those few small tweaks knock that Android System and OS drain down.

How is the battery life on everyone's LG V10 VS990? I've got two batteries, a 3000mAH and a 3800mAH battery, but I find the battery life seems poor on either battery, both only lasting about 6-8 hours, sometimes a bit longer if I'm not using my phone a lot that day. Is this just me or everyone? I know a friend of mine with the T-Mobile variant of the V10 gets almost two days of battery life, but I'm not sure how heavy of a user he is.
A non power user can make a battery last forever on this thing. Weekends, I am not tethering or running Pandora, or getting blown up with group texts, so I can unplug at 8 am, and plug it in at 11pm with 30% or more. Week days, with all those things going on I can just get through the workday from 7:30am to 8pm or so and have to plug it in asap.

See, I unplug at 7:30am and can only get to about 3pm before I need to swap batteries if I'm not careful about how much I use my phone. Though I do a lot with my phone, it doesn't sound like as much as you do. I've checked the battery usage and it always says the Screen and Android System are using the most battery, which seems to be normal on most phones, so I know it's not a particular app. These two batteries are also only about a month old.
Don't know, I got mine at release, I do have two batteries, but only carry one unless I travel out of town. I often click to close all apps often throughout the day and use Wifi whenever possible and whenever not tethering to my iPad.
After root, I get roughly 2 days on a full charge. Greenify and freezing apps has increased battery life dramatically

How about charging? I found using anything but the supplied quickcharger, even if I charged to 100%, I got less than good sot.

I haven't tried another charger I'll give that a go.
Verizon location services app eats battery at a crazy rate even when the phone is asleep. Now when phone is sleeping it eats about 1% per hour instead of the nearly 10% it was eating. The stock battery is small to. 2800MaH for a phone this size is not a lot. GPS also eats battery. If you have location on try turning it off. Also if you live on the edge of a cell zone and your phone has to constantly keep talking to the tower it can use a lot of battery. You can test this by putting your phone into airplane mode, if your battery suddenly gets better... then the cell radio is killing you... unfortunately not much you can do for that.
I haven't been using the second battery yet, keeping it around as a replacement because we know what happens after the first year of using them.
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the LG G6's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I have been on and off mine all day without heavy use due to being at work, and by the time night came without me charging I was around 79%. This is from 5AM to 11PM. But I must admit... I went into the sttings and set EVERYTHING as inactive that I was able to do so and recommend everyone do it. The apps will never turn on or activate unless you manually open one in which case it will then stay active. It's great for apps that do crap in the background which you never use anyway. Oh, and I use Greenify as well, and always keep my tasks clear. So yeah... I'm used to saving battery by habit so my experience is different from most.
My standby time has been brutal... Would not be using my phone for around 1 hr and then id see my battery drop from a 36 to 30.... I closed all apps and even used the smart cleaner to get rid of some.. I dont know whats the problem to be honest. If they can fix the standby drain i could honestly reach for 5 to even 6 hours of screen on time
My standby has been really good, I can leave it off charge overnight and can only go down 2% or so, but once I start using it the % drops heavily after 5 minutes or so. I've got to go through the settings to turn off notifications because I've noticed apps like candy crush giving me notifications

I agree with jaeyo, my standby time is amazing. Off the charger overnight for 8 hours i only lose 2%. I do have AOD scheduled to turn off from 11p to 5a.

Did you hook your phone up to a computer and use the ADB commands to enable Greenify's aggressive doze? That really helped me, Nougat's built-in doze is still crap compared to Greenify. Also, setting WiFi to inactive while display is off, as well as enabling data saver in data management to restrict mobile background data for all apps helps greatly with wakelocks. Also everyone should consider disabling certain notifications from apps like Maps and Assistant which can create a lot of wakelocks.
I wrote a few tips to help with battery life on Nougat in the G5 section, but it should apply here as well:

Standby time wears on you depending on what apps you got running
?????
I found the culprit. Apparently one of my skin apps was causing wakelocks keeping the phone awake the whole time. Deleted it and installed greenify, will see how things goes

No I did not. Heck, I didn't even know I COULD do that. That'll be my objective before tonight though, thanks!
I love Greenify's aggressive doze

Does Greenify help? I get some seriously terrible standby drain going. Is it LG software that's so bad?

What exactly did you set to inactive? Which apps?

Me too
Honestly dont know how to fix this standby drain.. If ibhad root i would easily find the culprit through betterbatterystats but since i dont have that, cant seem to figure out why my standby drain is so high. I would leave my phone on the desk at 30% not using it all and come back 2 hrs later to 16%. Horrible standby time means losing precious screen on time sad sad

Use Greenify to force Hibernate Quick Memo+. Seems to have solved my standby drain issues.

The problem is Quick Memo+ isnt the problen because i dont even have that application. I did a factory reset and it got rid of the app so I dont know what to do

Do you need root for Greennify? I would like to start using it.

You can use greenify by plugging your phone into your computer and use adb commands

You must have it. It's baked into the OS. Look in the essentials folder of the LG (iOS) Home it'll be there

Don't really know how to use ADB commands. But I will try to figure it out
