Hello G6'ing Canadians!
I noticed the only thread on here relating to Canadian models of the LG G6 on here was specifically for Rogers, so I thought I'd start a more general thread for us.
I'm really liking my (Koodo) LG G6 so far. The screen and size of the phone are amazing, the camera is the top-notch quality I expect, and the battery life has been better than my G5 or G4 before this one... That is until today. I'm running the software version H87310d and just got an OTA update. I noticed that my battery was draining quickly after the update, so I cleared my cache and reset, but it still seems to be draining quickly even when it's just sitting on my desk.
I know this was an issue for some others at launch, but mine has been fine until today. I'll have to see what it's like tomorrow after a full charge, but still a little worried.
Anyone else experiencing this?
What do you guys think of LG's latest?
I just switched to the G6 after returning TWO defective S8+. I like it so far. Camera is a little slow for my liking though.
*Edit* Oh look, just getting an update. V10d.

Yeah, the camera is a bit slow, but how can you beat dual 13mp shooters and full manual control on video?
Re: the update. I let my battery drain out after getting it yesterday and it's working great so far today.
hows the new update? im wondering is it safe to update? just got an update

My battery has been far better since the update. I swear the camera quality has gone up also.
Hi guys, I also have a Koodo Black G6 and got the H87310d update yesterday as well... haven't tested it enough to say it's made a difference yet. So far battery life has been decent, although it seems to slowly be using more and more battery (I'm assuming degradation of the battery capacity, eventually will settle)
What exactly did the update have? this is the only thread so far that I could find on it, so I joined up XDA finally.
The only gripe I have is with wireless charger... it's just do damn slow! I think it's about 2% for 10 minutes of charge. I'm using a Samsung Fast Charge base with the LG fast charger that came with the phone. I tried a Samsung charger from the wife's S5 and was even slower.
I noticed various reports on the wireless charge, some people get fast charge with non-major branded chargers, others get better results than I do with the same charger, etc...

I read somewhere that the update adds "safety features" like your phone telling you if the charging port is wet, but I'm not certain that was for this particular update or not. So, who really knows? At least they're supporting the handset so far.
Regarding wireless charging, mine is super slow, but better than that. I'm using an Aukey wireless pad (not fast charging) and it does about 1% every three minutes. Perhaps their Fast Charging version will work better. I didn't get it because you need to use a fast charging base for it to work and I'm using all of mine already.
I'm going to pickup an Insignia Qi Fast charger at Bestbuy (last day of sale today at $19.99) and see how this works, I don't know if it's maybe the Samsung Qi Pad not supporting Fast charge 3.0 on the LG charger maybe that's causing the slow charging issue... will try and find a Samsung fast charge 2.0 adapter and hook it up to the wireless base and see if that improves the speed.
Seems like my issue was with the Samsung base... I bought the Insignia Qi wireless base, popped it up overnight with the LG Fast charger attached rather than the one that comes with it, and when I was up at 5am the phone was already at 100%.
With the Samsung base I would be lucky to hit 80% with or without a case.
So far I've been loving this phone. I had the G2 and Nexus 5 and the G2 was one of my favorite phones I've owned. The G6 is a fantastic device, fast, and the battery lasts pretty long even with the screen on and gaming. My last few devices have been Nexus phones, and coming from the 6P the main thing i hate about the G6 is the lack of root. I've been so used to getting a new phone, going home and rooting it before doing adding my accounts and apps onto it. I was at the store and i saw they had an amazing deal on the G6, so i did a very quick google search for LG G6 Root, and i saw a few threads about it. I thought NICE! they have root for it already so i pulled the trigger. Got home...and read through the threads to realize they didn't lol. Still like the phone and i'll keep it for a few months and if no root comes out i'll give it to the wife and maybe grab a Pixel 2 when they launch. Overall though if you don't need root, this phone is great!
Yup, just picked up a G6 the other day. It's nice.
The software lacks a few features, and I have to retrain myself to handle it since I was so used to my previous phone and had it all set up just right.
The battery life seems ok, nothing special, but still early days.
I'm also hoping for root, not particularly for custom roms (which would be nice) but mostly to delete some bloat, and maybe customizing the nav bar. On that note:
Can we customize the navbar? Making it a bit smaller would be nice, but particularly changing the icons or something.
And is there a soft lock screen solution that works? Regular solutions don't work on nougat, the time out solutions also don't work (I suspect because of aod) and I use a custom launcher, so no double tap to lock.
Works with Nova Launcher Prime.
Edit: I refer to DTTL

Did you set it up using nova launcher? I use action launcher, and while it supports a double tap gesture to lock, it doesn't work on nougat.
I know nova launcher has a time out setting.
Yep, had it set up on several phones from Kitkat to Nougat. Works every time, I import the same Nova backup.

Makes sense. Do you use the timeout unlock?
The regular lock version blocks you from unlocking with the fingerprint password.
If I use the stock launcher it works fine, but just like nova, action launcher has a double tap option, and that disabled the stock one.
Oh well, I'm sure I'll figure it out.
Lock timer > 15 seconds after screen timeout.
I spent very little time on the stock Launcher so never tried many settings or options.

That's interesting. I've tried several types and for longer than 15 seconds, but didn't work.
Although greenify lock did, but takes too long.
Anyway, this battery life. Damn.
I've just realised, maybe you can't see my sig...?
I have a V20 not a G6 although for the purposes of our posts I don't think it would matter?
And yeah you're doing great on battery.

Yeah, I'm on the xda app, so I dont see sign.
I don't think it should matter though, the V20 launched with nougat.
But maybe there is some small hardware difference with, and that makes up the issue.
I can lock by double tapping the status bar, it's just a little.. Sloppy.

As far as I can find, I have not seen this issue come up for anyone else. I recently jumped in with the temp root to clean up the bloat and to de-sense. Process went great and everything that I attempted to freeze is froze.
To my dismay, the last two days (since I performed the clean up) my battery life has taken a severe turn for the worse. With screen off I'm losing about 10% an hour, which is way more than before. I used to easily get a day at the office, but now a morning is a lot to ask.
I've checked the usual suspects, and have gone as far as uninstalling any new apps that I've installed since the root. All to no improvement.
I suppose my next step is to re-bloat to see if that brings me back to where I was. But before I go that far, has anyone seen or heard of this problem? If I'm the only one, I suspect my cause and effect is off. I fully expected this to help the ol' battery... But its been the opposite.
I have the exact same problem, I am going to factory reset mine as soon as I have time to set everything up again.
My battery life has literally dropped in half.
~John
Bummer, exactly what I was trying to avoid. Oh well, that's the risk we take I guess.
With all the memory and speed this phone has there is no reason to freeze anything. I can live with bloatware until I get s-off.
When you go freezing apps you alter the way the phone operates. You could have frozen something that the system needed to operate using less
Power. Now your phone works harder and uses a lot more power. This phone is faster and smoother than any rooted phone I ever owned.

True statement. One of the reasons I have not updated my temp root script to include de-sensing is because every time I try it it runs like crap. Seems like it just struggles looking for things the framework expects to be there.
Ah, the voice of reason! You are right, I was tottaly content until I started f'n around with the insides. Ill unfreeze it all tonight and keep my fingers crossed that I don't end up needing to reset.

Agreed... This phone is a beast with an OEM extended battery. I used %40 in 14 hours with my standard usage, which includes about 30 mins worth of calls, receiving emails and texting.

+1, i'm very satisfied with the stock battery on daily use.
When I travel, I throw in the extended battery and I'm watching an entire season of Arrested Development, no problem :x
I haven't desensed, and I only froze some of the bloatware, like the friendstream, nfl mobile...etc. that were in the app's folder, just to keep it clean, but I've learned I just crowd it up again as soon as I start downloading apps No task killers either, just use the one that shipped with it to kill some lingering apps now and then.

I was actually using your tool... appreciate your work on that, it's flawless as far as I can tell. Was going to thank you over on the development board but being an XDA noob I was not allowed!
I thawed everything out and will see tomorrow if I'm back to where I should be. If so, I may give your recommended list a try and see what that brings. I was really liking not having to see all that crapware everywhere I turned.
That is the reason I didn't use the de-sense option. I only froze some of the bloat that i really didn't use. I was afraid that if I de-sensed, it would cause more problems than it fixed.
I started a thread where I gave a long list of freezeable apps, it's linked in one of the stickies in the dev section, and I have left them all frozen. Something like 30 apps frozen. I have NOT de sensed though. I lose 1-2% an hour while idle, though the first 10% from 100 to 90 lasts much longer (complete opposite of my old Dinc which would drop the first 10% in ten mins!)
Well, I bit the bullet and factory reset tonight. We'll see how my battery fares tomorrow.
I had ADWLauncher installed before with a theme and custom icons etc. I left all that out this time.
I do like Sense quite a bit (I love the widgets) so I'm sticking with that for now.
I have two extended batteries I bought with the phone and originally my battery life was outstanding. I could stream audio all day at work (switching between iheart and Sirius) and still have battery life on my way home.
This is outstanding, no other phone I have owned could do that. Lately, my battery life is in the toilet however. I killed an extended battery in a half a day.

definitley looking forward to hearing about the results to the factory reset. i haven't had great battery life but i've also temp root and cleaned pretty soon after getting the phone, so i don't have too much to compare to.

Let us know how it goes, I'll do the same. I used my freeze script to thaw it all out... hopefully I can leave this thing on my desk for a couple hours tomorrow so I can get some good data on idle usage. Fingers crossed it goes back to the way it was.
I have actually been using Go since day one. I never really tried sense, but it drives me nuts not having a dock bar... I think we can all admit the bar at the bottom is a waste of space. Anyway, I played with it a little tonight and it seems super smooth with good looking widgets (as you mentioned). I may have to get it all set up sometime and see if I can get over my dock bar hang-up.
I had the same battery problem as you and I have yet to even temp root my phone(I run Windows 8 Dev Preview, drivers are unsupported). I don't even play games on my phone and had the same issue. It isn't a root/bloat/de-sense issue.
AtL, that battery chart looks painful. Read the issues list if you haven't already... Some folks have reported battery life like that and ended up trading in and getting one that behaved a little better.
As for my issue, after half a day it looks like thawing everything out was the ticket. This chart vs the one in the OP clearly shows a much slower idle draw. I think I'm back to only charging once a day.
So let that be a lesson to everyone... Be careful of what you think you don't want.
The factory reset seems to have helped some, but it's still not back to where it used too be. I have been streaming iheart all day on 4g using an extended battery. I got probably 6 hours out of the 1st battery & I'm down to 80% on the 2nd battery now.
I think the 4g network may be partly to blame in that I think my higher battery useage started almost exactly when the national 4g outage occured.

I have been here a while bud. I was just posting to show that I had the same issue while NOT using Temp Root or anything you had used in your experience of the problem. This has only happened to me 1 time.
Debloated with no issues
If you know what your doing and have exp with this debloating / desensing will have only positives on your battery. Im pretty sure that horrid battery life had nothing to do with debloating. And as the OP stated it only proved mild imrpovements aftyer hard reset. Unlikely debloat caused that.
Took phone off charger this AM
would explain why when I had the rezound, the battery life started out great, then get beyond terrible.
So no one who owns a G5 has at least tried one of these supposed bigger batteries??

There are some pretty decent receptions of the brand, and then a couple not so decent, but in general it looks more positive than negative and so far no catastrophic failures to note.

https://www.amazon.com/Best4Power-Extended-Straight-Tracfone-SCH-S738C/product-reviews/B00Q2PL222
It may tickle you a bit wrong to know Best4Power no longer sells anything on Amazon. But I hope someone steps up to be our Guinea pig - there will be much thanks for the brave soul first to take the plunge and post their findings here.
I've got one similar to this, I ordered from Amazon, well actually a site called Amazon review trader where I got a promotion code for the battery. It's a 3500mAh battery by the description, yet the same physical size as the original. What I can say about it is any time you reboot the phone and the battery is at 100% you are greeted with an invalid battery warning and the phone powers down. The only way to get it to remain on its trying to reboot it a few times and once it uses a couple percentages of the battery it's fine. I contacted the seller and they sent me a new one but it also does the same so not sure.
The battery appears identical in size, feel and shape to the original one, just wrapped differently. The first day of use I ended with over 4hrs screen time but I was in an area with little to no signal, the next day I was home most the day and got 6 and a half hours screen time. I literally ran the phone till it was at 2% then powered down and replaced the battery. I use the phone for browsing, emails, text and phone calls, location is generally set to wireless network etc.
The question on if I would buy another..I don't think so, reason being is the invalid battery warning message, batteries are just not something to play with, the actual battery tho outside of the rebooting issue stated does work fine and seems to last a bit longer when compared to the stock one.
a guy said its this phones software is so buggy.is it true?and just a second question:how is the battery charging speed from 0-100?plz answer me ty
Well I have yet to see any problems and I use this thing heavy. Battery is getting good after 3 days use ,battery life always seems yo wear in on new ROMs so a new phone I guess the same. Charge with supplied charger is fast , 70% in 30 mins easy.
A lot of bugs I read about seem to be more user issues or environment issues , I have no WiFi, LTE, camera , screen, battery drain issues at all.
Greenify, amplify, xposed, rooted , latest update , nova launcher, nify, substranium, all up n running nice.
Tested several big games, smooth and quick to load, phone feels snappy, in comparison to my HTC m10 (broken screen hence I buy this) this phone is smoother, screen nicer, sound the same, camera better, in fact very impressed by this phone.
I guess so long as you know android you won't have issues , only if you are new to android you may miss the hand holding the big boys phones offer.
All in all buy this, read and learn, have patience and enjoy a great bargain.

oh oh an important question.is quick charger included or not?if not,where to buy one?ty
Quick charger comes with phone , mediatek quick charger is called fast charger, phone charges fast with a qualcom quick charger from my HTC 10 also ...
So I just bought a G5, updated to oreo yesterday. I used it for one day with nougat, it seemed to charge very quickly on my Aukey Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 charger, along with some nice usb c cables I have. I also have a nextbit robin, checked Ampere on the Robin and I see 2300ma of charging current. On another generic 5v2a charger, the robin sees 1600ma current.
On either charger, my G5 is topping out at 970ma. Ampere lists the Qualcom Quick Charger as "turbo" speed, and I get a 'fast-charging" notification. But it is definitely taking a lot longer to charge than it should. I tried restarting the phone to no avail.
I guess I should have stayed on nougat, **** me for expecting them to quality control software updates.
It took an hour to go from 5% to 50%, which is definitely not fast charging, as can already be determined from Amperes current reading.
"The LG G5 supports the latest Quick Charge 3.0 standard, but there seems to be a bit of confusion about how it works. It's designed to charge your phone quickly, taking it from 0 up to 80 percent in around 30 or 35 minutes.
I've had my G5 for about six months. The fast-charging worked fine, I downloaded the update yesterday and it's still seems to charge up just as fast as it used to. But my battery life has gone down dramatically even after going through all the new settings and features and optimizing everything. Also my mobile hotspot no longer works. I knew I should have waited but I just couldn't help myself.

I seem to be getting 2-3hours of SOT over the course of a day. Standby drain is fine, it just sucks the battery down when in use for web browsing.
Yesterday the phone seemed to start charging faster again. Ampere still shows only 500-900ma charging rate, but the time estimate to complete charge is now in line with full fast charging.
I didn't run nougat long enough to get an idea of how the battery was before unfortunately.
I also had an incident yesterday where my battery was at 50%, shut down the phone and removed the batttery, upon reinsertion and booting up the phone it dropped to 2% and the phone shut down immediately. wtfbbq
Cant find an OEM battery anywhere, all chinese fakes. LG is sold out for direct purchases, of course. Phones are built to be thrown away these days, such a shame. Was looking at some batteries on amazon and it looks like a crapshoot. At least 20-30% of reviews state that after a few weeks/months the batteries either fail or start holding less charge than the old OEM battery they replaced. Even saw some amazon reviews with pics of exploded batteries that destroyed the G5.

Try using foxfi for hotspot, if the built-in one doesnt work anymore. It costs a couple bucks but its worth it for the USB tethering function. Saves a heck of a lot of battery life vs wifi or bluetooth.
Mine has never been that fast to charge, even with certified QC3 chargers and cables....its not anywhere close to the time they say it does....that is with nougat and oreo, charging speed is about the same for me

Ive had this phone for 3 mths now... I have the at&t version and im not in a region that uses its service so im basically stuck.
I think we should start working on some roms for our device. It seems no developer will come to our aid. I miss Roms like RR AOSPE etc. It can really be nice if we saw them here. Instead of continued waiting, its time we used google and come up with some roms for ourselves. Build fron sources? Or porting? Whatever works. We can port Roms from devices with similar processor or from the android one HTC U11 life. I have a feeling it will be easier to port the HTC u11 life android one rom as hardware is the same, so porting kernels only should be able to get it booting. I would have gotten porting but then am off pc at the moment.
This takes lot time to do the more people we have it will make things lot easy to bring out
Hi guys! I agree with you. I believe we must make "roms".
I have 2 "Life", the first is T-Mobile while the second is Android One.
Above the T-Mobile, I mount a US 8.0 stock rom with unlocked bootloader and root. I removed a lot of stock apps and mounted the stock gapps!
Instead, Android One received the "Pie" update. This device, for now, let him stock!
It would be nice to have "pie" in T-Mobile too, but the system partition is completely different, and without "s-off" we are dead!
Excuse my bad English.

Only 5/7 hours? It's too little!
I get two days of use with both Oreo and Pie.
WiFi and mobile data always on. Position off.
If I use the position with Google Maps navigator things change, lasting one day.
I'm afraid your battery went friend! but cheer up, in this phone you can change the battery without breaking the display like in the HTC 10.
Obviously, you need to check the chargers!
I have noticed that: depending on what charger and use it changes the life of your battery. I have two chargers, the first is an old 700 milliamper charger, the second is a new generation 2.4 amp charger and QC 3.0 port.
When I charge the phone leaving it all night with the 700 milliamper charger the phone lasts me two days. When reloading the phone using the 2.4 amp charger the phone lasts for a day.
Slow charging is always the best!

I did what did you said, still not getting more than 5 hours SOT, using only instagram, chrome, whatsapp, and a little of facebook
I updated google play services but still using more than 30%
I charge my phone with the classic htc charger(not QC) 5V/2A
I did also 2 days charge up to 80% and then a full charge
Still nothing
RIGHT NOW
Android- alarm: intent job deadline and intent job delay are HUGE. Android in Alarms using 65%, and play services 15%, report from BBS
Report from battery usage in settings, play services using 110% of my battery
someone managed to find a rom with android 9?
