Hi All,
so i finally got to unlocking the bootloader and install a custom rom. I've read that some people had issues with QC not working any more and i thought it wouldnt be such a big issue but it is! Ampere says it's charging with 400mA with screen on or off it doesn't matter. Sometimes it shows 1900 for a second but it doesn't stick. It takes forever to charge the phone and it's really sad as i like to be able to customize my phone the way i like it with a custom rom etc.
Iv'e installed Charging Tweaker by Revantis via Magisk, but it's not working at all..
I'm on the standard LG Fast Charger with the standard cable, these issues didn't occur when i was on stock rom.
Anyone know more about this?
Thanks
Like I already said in the RR thread: That bug is in ALL custom roms for the G5 starting around August because something got changed in the kernel upstream.
If you do some reading you'll find tons of mentions in every G5 custom rom thread, it's not just RR but anything that isn't based on stock.
That's crazy, there's no known solution?
It charges about 5 % per half hour so it's totally useless now

It charges full speed in recovery and if booted up it usually gets a full charge overnight. I have a desktop charger I just leave it in when I'm home.
It's in the kernel and there is no proper solution. I heard rumors that it'll be fixed in O, but it looks like LOS (where the change(s) came from) doesn't seem to want to fix it on N
Thanks for the info man! For this reason i will return to my S6, QC has really spoiled me and i use my phone a lot, hope there will be a fix in the future
try doze-gms+ mod for gms sleep for better charging

The charging current is locked, no sleep or mod can change that. It might work under normal circumstances, but this is different

I've gotten a Galaxy S3 for 2 years now, and I've always flashed different roms as I wanted/needed. But now, my battery drain is enormous. Even when my smartphone is plugged in the charger, the battery goes down faster then it charges. Right now I use CM 11, ParanoidAndroid or Ressurection Remix, and I've got the same problem with all the three. And I've changed the kernel but I can't remember to which one, I had a problem with the IMEI and had to change to test the solutions. So, I would like to ask if you guys have the same problem and if you got a solution or same countermeasure to increase my battery life, if you know a better kernel or idk. (The most important thing I would like to solve is the charging one, I can't accept the battery charging less then consuming, and I don't even use it with the wi-fi on, but it continues that way.)
Thanks for everything!
Hope i help

Try to charge your phone with a different usb cable maybe thats the problem(i had broken usb cable and used to charge my phone to 100% for 6 hours). About the kernel try boeffla kernel or agni (choose the right one cause there are different ones for CM and stock rom) and choose a battery friendly governor
Yup I had same With some USB kabels its look that he dont give right V :good:

I've tried using other chargers but it is almost the same thing. But, thanks anyway . I will continue to try changing the kernel and I'll try to buy another new original charger, or maybe it is time to say bye to him ://. Thanks guys.
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.

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.
Hey
Does anyone else have serious issues with this in every Oreo ROM? My battery will drain %1 per minute while playing even the most basic games, and the phone will get so hot it becomes uncomfortable to hold, it's top left of the phone so I presume CPU heat and not battery heat.
I have read about fixes for this after Oreo updates, but they're for other phones, but things like flashing older baseband, modems, and things like that.
I'm definitly not a noob when it comes to modding android, but I'm also not an expert.
Is it possible I could have some baseband or modem miss match? Would it be safe to flash an older version, and where would I find it?
Also is newer firmware included in ROMs? As I have seen some that say a certain version firmware is required or recommended, and I've never that I remember, flashed anything to do with firmware specifically...could I maybe have an older firmware? And could that even affect the battery in this way?
The battery isn't just bad, it is really bad, I took it off charge last night, slept 6 hours and woke up to %85 battery, with less than 1 minute SOT, every single battery savings feature is enabled, performance is set to battery and all that stuff.
Is this a problem that just I am having, or is this the same for everyone on every Oreo ROM? If it is just me, I hope someone can help me solve it.

Hello, you probably have the same problem as me, keep charging the phone until it says Charged in the Configuration > battery (not the lock screen!) takes about 1 extra hour for me, because the phones takes about 2500mah as the 100% (you can search my post history for more information) or download accubattery to see the charge current and when its 0 or -1 it means that the battery its fully charged
test battery life after doing that

I don't think that is my issue as my phone is left charging for 3 hours + after it says %100 until I actually go out.
It also wouldn't account for the overheating.
Thanks for your reply though

Then you have some serious problems with your phone, because im getting about 5 hours of SOT in last AOSiP build, gaming drains battery faster, but not 1% per minute, i don't game that much, and i also do it when the phone is charging so i can't give you my feedback there, sorry
and also about the firmware, im using 30s from the LineageOS thread, i don't see differences in battery life, but phone signal is a little bit better
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

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!
