I thought a few hours ago the LG V30 Plus, i notice that the battery drain so fast. i'm really worried i spent so much money on this. I also read that the battery drain fast at frist days can come from proccess things or updates.
but i didn't update anything yet.
My question is: did you guys experience the same thing?
Thanks
Which version you have update 8.0 and turn off always on display option
We'll to make your battery last you need either a good rom or use apps like (greenify or L speed) because my battery was draining fast but using L speed last way longer
The V30 battery lasts forever ... find what app is dragging you down and remove it.

Right. If you've got high drain then you have a rogue app.
I have had the chance to use two V30 H932s -- the one that @R800x_user loaned me to figure out root, and the one that I bought from eBay to continue development.
The loaner was new I assume, and it would hold a charge for *days*. The one I got from eBay (which I am returning due to this) will lose 25% overnight (6 to 7 hours).
Both phones were bone stock v20k, and both rooted -- they are identical. When I say bone stock, I mean literally I installed nothing else on either phone.
The only thing I can guess is that someone fried the battery on the one I got from eBay. Every battery app that I have installed all say that it is 100% health (3300 mAh), but something is different.
My V20, which is loaded with crap, loses maybe 2 to 3% overnight.

Thanks for all replays, Second day the battery looks much better now i see the value of this great battery

Its almost been a year since i first got it. Holding up real good ?
Mines almost a year old now as well. After root, the memory usage seems to be better via the LG app and battery needs charged roughly every two days. That's with AOD and couple hours of wifi usage every day.

I've had my Flyer a few months now and in the last few days the battery seems to be draining very quickly. I charged it full again last night and this morning it was at 88%.
I've turned everything off so just the bare bones of the device are alive and i'm using Juice Defender, and still no joy. It's only started doing this in the last few days so i presume the battery is on the way out very quickly.
I've let it drain to 10% and charged it, and it's made no difference.
I'm not going to mess about with settings and more waiting to see what it does etc...., I really just want to get a new battery and be done with.
Where can i buy a new battery? I've had a look on fleabay and no joy.
Any suggestions where to get one, part no. etc...?
Many thanks in advance

happened with me also....10% battery drained overnight...
what app is using most of ur battery?
sometimes push service in some free market apps drains a lot of battery and it keeps running even when app is closed... check running processes... well i uninstalled that app with push service and all became normal
Thanks for that but i've had a look through and it would seem that there isn't anything happening over night that i'm not expecting or that is being very hard on the battery.
I'm pretty confident the battery is the culprit here. Sourcing a new battery however is proving to be a problem. Somebody somewhere must be selling them.
I've just been on to HTC in the UK, they have a service centre not very far away from me and they won't sell me a battery or even give me a part no. for the battery.
Come on, somebody must know where to get one.
I think i might have found somewhere in China...
Battery - BG41200
3.7v - 4000mAh
If the prices were cheap enough how many of you would be interested in buying a battery for your Flyer.
Perhaps do a group buy?
i thought flyers battery is not user replaceable?
It's very replaceable and easy to do.

I'm going to have to look at getting a new battery sooner or later. It's getting to the point hat the battery is always running low by the time I get home in the evening or even running out. With pretty much the same use it used to be good for a day and a half easily. Flyer was purchase may or june 2011 so it really needs to last another 16 months or so.
Well......I ask again. If anyone knows of where to buy an internal Flyer battery please post a linky.
I posted this thread earlier today
"I just wanted to know what people are getting out of their batteries. I unplug mine around 7:30 am when i leave for work. When I get to work i turn on my wifi (rooted thunderbolt) and leave that on all day. I have the setting to turn wifi off (flyer) when screen is off. When I get home around 5:30 i switch to my home network and by 8-10 my battery is pretty much gone. Is this normal battery life or are there any tricks I'm not aware of that will help with battery. My wife has an Ipad 1 and she seems to get days of use out of it before she needs to charge it.
Also, I don't watch movies or video at work... most of my use is surfing, twitter and email."
I'm trying to figure out if what is normal battery life and If mine came with a bad battery. If so Yes I would be interested in getting a new one.
The Ipad battery has much longer life and is a much bigger capacity battery. The new HTC Jetstream also has a much bigger capacity battery as well. I think HTC have learned lessons on how much battery power these flyers use, but unfortunately have used Flyer owners as guinea pigs, rather like the first Apple iPhone but that had terrible battery issues as well although they've gotten better over time.
When my Flyer was brand new the battery lasted for ages and i couldn't understand what people were on about the battery not lasting for very long. So up until a few weeks ago my battery was doing fine and then almost within a day or two the battery started to run down quickly and has been doing so ever since. I've since loaded/unloaded new ROMS and done all the usual procedures for deleting the battery stats etc..., and still no joy.
I think the problem is with the battery not being man enough for the job at 4000mAh, and the drain is such that the battery is being worked hard since September last year (in my case) to a point where it is now progressively failing. I'm not so sure either that it's all that good in terms of quality.
Most of that time it has been charging from one source or another. If my Flyer isn't in the car or in the house it's not often being used battery only unlike most other people probably use the battery only a lot, so i can't understand why the battery is failing when it's not even that old.
This is a big issue with the Flyer and for what the device cost i would have expected a lot better. I think the Flyer in itself is a fantastic piece of kit that i will no doubt keep for a very long time as i did my XDA IIi but i never had problems buying another battery for my IIi. HTC will not sell me a battery, they insist i send the device to them and they will swap it but will cost about £50-£60 for the pleasure. I flatly refuse to pay that!!
What is required is a bigger capacity battery (6000-8000mAh) in the same packaging as the current battery however, i think for now i would happily settle for another of the same battery if i could just get hold of one.
So far it's proving an impossible task!!
Just to add: Once you've made sure there aren't apps being opened at startup that don't need to be opened until you're ready to use them, also make sure wifi/bluetooth, mobile data is all off when not required, and all the usual tweakes to make sure animations are off, screen is on the lowest brightness etc..., then there is not a lot more you can do. I don't know how much use something like Juice Defender will be as that only makes sure your data connections are off at night and other times you specify. I've tried it and it didn't help at all so i don't know what else to suggest apart from turning the radio part of the phone off completely at night if it isn't on charge.
If i leave my phone off charge all night, having fully charged first, i wake up in the morning and it's down to around 86-88% battery.
I know there are million battery threads and I have read through them all and still don't know what to do.
My Atrix is more than a year old - its out of warranty. I don't know when I got it but I have been using it for a while and love the phone.
Issue
Over the last month I have started noticing that battery would not charge to 100% indicator. Initially it would go to 95%, then 935 and yesterday it was 88%. I downloaded the battery app and it would show that the battery is actually fully charged 4205 mV.
I have used the following tempfix:
Delete data/system/batterystats.bin
delete cc_data, cc_data_old and powerup in data/battd
After doing above and rebooting it will show actual charge (100%) at 4205 mV. But in the next cycle same issue happens.
I am on NottachTrix 1.3.1 with N_01.77.37P radio and default US ATT kernel. I actually have great battery life. A single charge usually last 1.5 to 2 days on low use.
Questions What should I do?
Do the tempfix after every charge?
Go back to Stock AT&T from Motorola?
Sell the phone since it will only get worse from now on and there is no solution?
Is it likely that installing CM9 would have caused this? I installed it for couple of days (jokersax) and reverted soon. Did the installation delete/corrupt critical files?
My own opinion, if you can make it through a day with moderate usage, then is it really an issue?
If it's something that's really bugging you then you could probably get a cheap replacement battery off of eBay since you did most of the standard fixes to correct it already...

I read all these thread and they mention that there might be a hardware flaw that starts roughly a year later (no warranty - good job moto ) that results in bricked Atrix. I am worried that the issues I am seeing are related to that. If that is not the case then I will keep Atrix around till SGS 4 is a announced and SGS 3 is a year old and I can buy it for 300
If your phone is fully charged (4205 mV), then it's fully charged. You've done the standard fixes to get the reported percentage back to reality, but there isn't really a permanent solution. It's not going to brick your phone, it's just an annoyance.
Mine caps at around 93% (with 4205 mV) and I get a day and a half with moderate usage. If you leave it alone over several cycles, like a week or so, does your max percentage quit changing drastically?
Hey guys,
I've been lurking in the forums for the past year and lately I've noticed that my battery has been crapping out. I'm running CM 10.1-20130807-NIGHTLY-i777 (I update it once a month), i777UCLE5, with CWM 6.0.3.5.
With the stock battery I get just about 1.5 - 2 hours of active usage. If I listen to music on it for 45 minutes, the battery drains over 30%. This is with JuiceDefender on.
I invested in two Anker batteries which worked for about 2-5 months then started locking up my phone. When I rebooted, battery went from 98% to 13%. Happened to one of my two batteries in month 2, and the second battery crapped out in month 5. Then I got a so called "stock battery" from eBay -- had the same model # and everything but didn't have NFC on it. Crashes my phone and drains the battery instantly too.
I'm wondering -- is there any way I can make these after market batteries work with my phone? I'm guessing it has something to do with not having NFC. They probably have much better life than my stock battery but I just can't make use of them.
Any tips appreciated.

You need to search for the free xda version of Better Battery Stats so that you can take a more detailed look at what is causing your battery to drain.
You can find some great information by reading this thread.
You likely have something (or perhaps more than 1 thing) holding a wakelock that is not allowing the phone to get into a deep sleep and conserve battery power.

Thanks for the tip. I will try that out over the weekend.
Any advice to make non OEM batteries work with the i777?

You can use replacement batteries, but they will render NFC useless. Only OEM i777 batteries have the necessary equipment to make NFC work.
You may want to do a search in the Accessories forum here and see what people recommend.
Hi,
Just to share an experiment I did.
Ive been a heavy customizer of any smartphone I had. From HD2 times to G2 & my recent Z2 (apparently, I am inclined to the 2's). I would say that G2's battery is really solid. One day, I decided to just go back to stock and disabled a lot of things just for the fun of experimenting. I put a sim in my G2 that nobody knows so no one will call or text, left it in my desk drawer & forget about it. Best time to give my other phone a good test drive.
After more than 24 hours, this is what I got from 100-99% discharge: 2271 hours of estimated stand by time!!! That was just sheer crazy stuff. I know you'll never want to just keep the phone idle but its good to know what it is capable of. Anyway, after a day of playing with my new Z2, I missed my G2 so I used it and still was able to get 6+hours of screen on time with a total of 80+ hours of light usage, mostly social and browsing and some wechat dash gaming.
After this, I still want my phone to explore new heights. Its a G2 but it can become any other phone. A body that can have many different souls. In many ways, I just happy to have this phone. Simply capable. Now if I decide to root again & maximize G2, Tasker & Greenify are must-haves.
For now, G2 deserves a rest after a year it made me enjoy tweaking. It will be a secondary phone for now.
For my experience, just calculating the time from 100% to 99% is not accurate. You may find it takes long to drop to 99%, but then the battery will drop faster.

Yup totally agree. I have used devices that take about 10+mins to drop 1% from 100% and then start dropping about 1% every 5-6mins.

I agree to the both of you. I think thats how the battery of G2 works. Thats why I said in my post I used the phone after this experiment and was able to get 6 hours of SOT with a total of 80H standby time. It was very far from 2271hours estimate. Phones are meant to be used anyway thats why its not going to happen unless you dont use it and even leave it in airplane mode. The 100-99% drain of G2 is rather deceiving compared to my Z2 which drops 100-99 a few minutes after I remove it from the charger.
To add some info.. I had a friend buy my G2 for me since it was from another city. He forgot to turn it off so it was left in its box until I got it which took some days. It was in airplane mode but when I got it battery was at 7% and standby time was.... you ready? Over 600 hours. Cant remember exact screen on time but it wasnt more than 50 mins.
This was with stock KK but at that time it was 20B (I upgraded to 20D and never really tested 20B). I was amazed when I saw that standby time!!
Sent from my LG-D802
Battery was epic for me on JB, not so good on KK. Now on CloudyG3 it's great again.
I bought my LG G5 new last November (2017). Ever since last week the battery can't hold a charge for more than a few hours. It goes from 100% to dead two to three times a day. Before this disturbing trend, my normal usage would get a full day off a full charge.
A normal day for me is listening to a music player w/ headphones, making sure the screen in on standby. If the screen isn't off I'm just doing light web browsing, like checking forums, searching eBay, reading articles...just really basic web browser stuff. I make sure to keep the brightness at 40-50% on average; close to zero at night.
Anyone have an idea why this happening and how to remedy?
Thanks.
The battery is most likely no longer able to hold a charge, like you described

Replace it.

After the last OTA update mine suddenly started to do the same thing. I bought 2 batteries online () but they did the same thing. So I got the unlock file from LG and installed twrp and lineage 15.01. Battery improved some. Installed greenify and now i get almost all day. I still swap between 4 batteries. Each lasts about 8 hours and I always take an extra battery with me when i leave home and plug in car charger.

What's the OTA update? If it doesn't download automatically that's not the reason. Plus, this just started happening like 5-6 days ago.
I ordered a new battery yesterday. I couldn't find one that said it was compatible with the RS988; hopefully it works with my model.
Someone suggested I test my battery with a multimeter. I actually have one.. can't belive I didn't think of that. Also, never heard of greenify. I'll have to check it out.
Over the air updates are pushed out by the carrier or manufacturers. I don't know the last version but they can be automatic so you might have it. I found another thread on this https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/rs988-software-update-21c-t3663768
So I got the new battery in the mail and no dice, it still is chewing right through it. It doesn't seem as drastic as it was initially, but I still need to charge it again in the mid-late afternoon.
I think it could the charger. Shortly after i got the phone the battery wasn't holding so well. Then I left the stock charger at a friends. I didn't have time to go pick it up, so I bought a replacement and all of a sudden the battery was holding all day. Then after a while that new charger wasn't holding the battery, so I switched back to the stock one and it was holding it all day again. So chargers have alot to do with battery performance. I ordered another one; hopefully that fixes the problem.
It was the USB-C cable. I bought a new one and I'm getting a full 24 hrs of charge.
