I just got my G3 yesterday but the battery drains so quickly. I rooted and added BBS and there are so many sensors and such kept awake. In just wanted to see if anyone has a clue,what I should do to contain these.

Kernel wakelocks don't keep the device awake per se. Those are processes that run when the screen is on. That's why the duration of all of them is almost the same. There's not going to be much you can do about those until/if custom kernels come along. You can try a factory reset, though I don't think it will help.
You should focus on partial wakelocks since those keep the CPU on when the screen is off.

This list for kernel wakelocks goes on for a while. The partial wakelocks are minimal, but whatever is causing these kernel wakelocks is whats causing the device to get warm, and subsequently draining the battery at an accelerated rate (roughly 7%+ per hour with minimal usage.)
I have never before seen such an extensive list from BBS on any of my other devices. Usually its the accumulator of all the partial wakelocks at the top of the list of kernel wakelocks by a large margin.

I'm with you. Been searching around for things I can freeze/hibernate to minimize wakelocks. Like stated earlier though we really need a custom kernel to get rid of a lot of those Kernel ones. The Partials aren't really that bad.
I have only had this phone since earlier today though so I'm keeping my eye on BBS like you are

This phone does seemto have a ridiculous abou amount of activity going on. I had the dreaded (nlpcollectorwakelock) battery drain my first day but a reset took care of it. My battery had since calmed down and I'm getting good sot now. My android os stays at around 14-20%as well but a long as my sot is decent I'm not stressing anymore

Yea mine is only draining at around 3% am hour with my use according to BBS.
That's just on WiFi and doing some browsing + Tapatalk+ a little YouTube.... So I can't complain.
It'll take a few charge cycles plus keeping an eye what else I can freeze and hibernate.
Considering the display on this thing that's pretty good I'm happy.... Be a little happier with a SaberMod ROM and Kernel though [emoji2]

My battery life is just as good as on my G2. Under normal (moderate/moderate-heavy) use I can get a day out of it easily. Yesterday I went to bed with about 44% left after over 13 hours use (with 2.75 hours of screen-on time).
I would recommend using CPU Spy to make sure the phone is going into Deep Sleep. There might be some process keeping it at a higher functioning state and not allowing the phone to hit Deep Sleep. For the most part, the phone should be in Deep Sleep longer than any other processor state.
I think a factory reset is in order. If that does not help you might just have a bad device, or a bad battery.

My phone is showing a huge number of sensors wakelocking the phone, and it was only in deep sleep 17% of the time since I unplugged it 6 hours ago. That kernel wakelock for the sensors needs to be fixed and then our battery life will be stupid good. You can't get as much screen on time on the G3 as I do on my G2. I was getting up to 10 hours of screen on time on my G2 the best i've managed was 3.5 on the G3. However, custom kernels will probably help there.

The Sensor WakeLocks are quite ridiculous indeed, but what is your phone showing for Partial WakeLocks and Alarms in Better Battery Stats???
Only way I could get mine under control was to use App Ops to limit Google Play Services to NOT keep my phone Awake.
Then I located COM.LGE.IMS and disabled its Receivers then froze it.
Then I Greenify everything possible lol
That Com.LGE.ims thing was waking my phone like crazy, maybe 50-100 times an hour if I remember correctly and I don't even use the feature its tied into... WiFi Calling

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 Moto Z'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!
Pretty good
Lost 3% on standby during 8 hours through the night.
Now that I'm on nougat, I'm losing about 8% over a 7 hour period
Not all cores stay in deep sleep when the screen is off.
I am seeing about 50% at 652MHz and 50% Deep Sleep when the screen off. I am not sure if this is expected.
I am also losing about 1% / hour in standby with the latest Nougat Update.
I just got it so I can't compare before & after.
1 percent per hour can be completely normal depending on someone's setup, apps install, signal strength, etc.
Most phones I've ever owned are about that or just under. Only my Nexus 7 2012 was way lower. About 0.4% per hour.
1 percent per hour is definitely not anything to be too concerned with honestly.
I'd start with CPU spy or a similar app, to see if your phone is actually in deep sleep when not used. If not, then you could have an issue.
i am extremely satisfied with stock(everything stock unrooted,locked bl) standby drain. I don't use Approach, Attentive Display and Notification Display in Moto app.
Wifi ON : 3% over 7 hours sleep
Wifi OFF : 1% over 6 hours sleep
Data(3G) ON : 7% over 5 hours sleep
Since N7 update, getting very bad idle drain.
Losing 28% during 7 Hrs overnight (>4%/Hr) and the BBS logs don't show any major issues.
Posting my logs here hoping a fresh pair of eyes can locate any anomalies I missed.
You might have bad reception in the place you have your phone. Check settings>battery> click on graph>cellular network signal. If the bar is red/ orange or has many small red lines you might be located between two towers.
Try switching to 3G or 2G overnight and if there is a dramatic difference it will confirm its signal-related battery drain.

Just an update; I used a Tasker profile to disable WiFi and Bluetooth when Display is off between 11 PM to 6 AM (my approx. sleep window). This has brought down the Idle consumption during night to 0.8%/Hr suggesting at-least one of them to be the reason for abnormal drain. I think the WiFi or Bluetooth modules in the Nougat update may not be fully optimised. I intend to test with only one of them turned OFF alternatively over next two nights and locate the real culprit.
Of course this does not help me during the day when both WiFi and Bluetooth have to be kept ON as I can't be bothered to turn them On/Off frequently whenever I start/stop listening to music or connect/disconnect to work WiFi. I'll explore if I can write Tasker profiles to switch them On/Off based on location, proximity to work WiFi AP and music steaming status.
Also, as suggested by @Vcek above, I can see some orange bars in the battery graph overnight indicating signal issues at my home location which may also be adding to the increased drain.
Overall I am sufficiently comfortable now knowing what is causing the increased drain and having at least some level of control over it.
My phone still open when i asleep .
Hmm..
I've been thinking about this as well in the first week of owning the phone. I leave out at 530am and get back around 6pm and am sitting around 50% (not bad, don't get me wrong). But the 2 year old phone it replaced would still be at ~40% in the same day.
It's better, don't get me wrong, just not as much as I figured.
Hi guys, I don't know what's going on, but my phone's battery has just turned to crap recently. Today, I left for work at 7 with a fully charged battery, and hardly used it aside from a few texts. By noon it was dead in my pocket out of nowhere (my battery saver mode never came on any of the times I did check a text). After that, I threw in my second battery at 12:30. After browsing on my phone to 87% on my lunch break, I started checking on my battery from there:
Within a half hour, my battery life went down 7% to 80%.
Another half hour passed, and it was down to 77%
After another half hour, 74%
By 4:12 PM, my phone was at 68%
54% at 4:45 after reading and replying to one email
Looking in GSAM, I see that 57% of my battery is used by apps, with Android System taking up 18%. OS Services is also my highest data use today, at 16.9 MB. Screen wake is only 1%, so it isn't a wakelock issue. I have sync, bluetooth, wifi, and NFC turned completely off, and am on LTE throughout my work day, with a good connection.
Strangely, even though my phone is in my pocket for most of the day and GSAM says Android System is #1, the built-in battery usage setting shows Screen as #1, followed by Android System, then Android OS.
I'm honestly at a loss right now. I can't think of anything new that I've downloaded. My phone usually makes it through an 8 hour shift fine and then some; the thing has pretty darn good screen off life normally. Please help me figure this out!
I think, because it happens to me at work, that is something related to marshmallow amd wifi, Try to go in the advanced wifi settings and select only when connected under the second option in the menu, Then See if it is better.
Another person that works with me has the problem with his s7 edge so i thougth that it could be related to the wifi bug of marshmallow

try to see if disabling location is doing anything
I always disable it because google services is calling it a lot of times (I know that it's for "lost my phone" feature and so, but still disabling it anyway)
Yeah, battery is bad. I have to G5 for a week. Its a great device but tge battery sucks.

Try turning off Always on Display. That batters battery life.
I get a full day, minimum 4 hours SOT at 75-100% battery.
Fingerprint also wastes battery.
I got an LG G5 2 weeks ago and the battery has been outrageously bad. I bought it used and the owned has owned it for 2 to 3 months. There is very little standby drain and the phone is cold to the touch within minutes. Overnight drain is around 10 to 12 percent with always on display which is normal considering the 1 percent per hour loss plus the normal overnight drain. However when I turn the screen on the screen on time is very poor only about 2.5 hrs to 3 hours. The screen brightness is set 20 to 40 percent no auto brightness. There appears to be nothing draining the battery with the screen being the biggest battery draining. I have location nfc Bluetooth and LTE turned off. Along with touch sounds and touch vibration but toggling these settings makes no difference. Its impossible to find out more because I have no root. If this battery continues to be this poor I'm going to be selling it because I cannot stand having to charge twice a day even with quickcharge 3.0 old xiaomi redmi note 3 lasted 2 to 3 times longer on the battery. Any ideas what could be eating my battery?
Hi
I get 4 to 5 hours screen on time and I use my brightness at 75% to 100%, never as low as 20-40% it's too dark.
What apps do you use when you do have the screen on? Maps and games will drop you to 2-3 hours screen on time like all phones, but normal apps (excluding snapchat) will give you 4-5 SOT.
I would turn off always on display, you won't miss it.
Eeeeh , your Android system and android Os are high , screen should consumpt most of the battery about 30-40% mine does 34% with 35% brightness and Phone idle 22% my android system at 9% android Os 6% , if you dont game you get nearly 1 day life from your battery but if you do you need 2-3 timers charging per day , also if you use Data it just sucks the battery like vacum. So there is a drain in your system but its true lg g5 consumps a lot in order to give you performance in priority and not power saving. Dont forget G5s are the only high range phone that you can swip your battery with no deal , they are giving you that feature , Use it!!! You can grab up to 3600mah (2800 stock) extended capacity battery with a wall charger from ebay really cheap and never again have a battery problem. Also this batterys are lithium ones , i saw in your pic 10% i suggest not to go below 20% you are killing really fast lithium batterys if you decharge them!!!

Always on display barely drains any battery. I use apps such as facebook, text messaging, messenger, instagram, chrome, etc. I rarely play games because the second I open a game the battery life is only about 1.5 hours sot.
Well Facebook and messenger should be a couple of alarm bells when talking about battery life surely? Also, you bought it second hand, you have no idea how the previous owner treated the battery in the time they had it no matter how short a period it was.

Hello friends
I have a problem with battery and also unable to turn on the WiFi after update.
I just bought my brand new G5 H860 TWN and updated it, which cause the whole device to malfunction.
please correct me if I'm mistaken. An update is meant to improve the functionality of a device not to destroy it.
Apart from this problem the interesting thing is that non of the LG customer cares know whats causing the problem,
A word of advice to LG. Please Do not make something that you don't know **** about.
yours sincerely
have nice day.

Thanks for your advise my friend, factory resetting the device was the first thing i did, but i did not solve the issue.
i have tried the following:
-Flash other ROMs from different countries for H860
-booted the device into safe mode and tried to enable the WiFi and etc.
my WiFi MAC is set to 02:00:00:00:00:00 and it means that WiFi has not been detected by android. Also the Bluetooth address is defined as "unavailable".
and the worst of all is its battery drain issue which kill my battery within 5 hours in standby mode, while i can not notice any abnormal battery consumption in "BATTERY USE DETAILS" section in Battery usage setting. this probably means that some other consumer(perhaps the WiFi) uses the battery without being listed.

H860? H860 haven't got root nor custom ROM yet. Bootloader of H860's still locked.
I've got a brand new LG G5 which I have been using since Thursday and I honestly can say it sucks big time compared to my 2 year old Z3 which can easily get me 4 hrs SoD on mixed usage. Using the exact same set up of apps, location and wifi/mobile use, I am struggling to see more than 2.5hrs SoD with the G5. Honestly, it just drains battery like no tomorrow and this is fresh battery... I dread to think what it will be like in 2 years. Sony made a lot of mistakes but the Z3 really excelled...
Hello fellow Z5 Compact owners,
I am having a weird battery drain after cracking my screen on 26/9/2016 (and rendering the bottom half of my screen useless in the process).
I left the phone alone (turned off) for some time as I was looking for a screen replacement, but about a month later I downloaded an app called "Set Orientation" which let me use full rotation, including reverse portrait mode. Since that time my phone's battery has become much worse when idle (it wasn't much better before -- around 3%/hr, and 1,6%/hr with OM5Z kernel). It started losing around 8-10 percent every hour on .253 firmware (6.0.1 MM) and also getting hot if left alone for too long. The drain was less on Nougat (about 5-6%/hr) and now the famous Xpower patched kernel again on .253 (about the same, maybe 0.5-1% less sometimes).
My question is -- what is the cause of my drain? The cracked screen, the orientation app (it has been replaced by Rotation Control for per-app control btw), or something else? I have eliminated most partial wakelocks, kernel wakelocks are practically nonexistent on this kernel, I use Powernap and Amplify to block alarms/wakelocks. The phone sleeps normally, although Android System CPU time is around 1-1,5 hours per charge (background).
To clarify, I think it may be the Rotation app because my Android System sensor usage is very high - around 2-3 hours every charge. An average charge lasts around 11 hours for me, with 2 hours avg SOT (not a very heavy user).
I'm running 32.2.A.0.253 firmware with rooted/patched Xpower5 kernel.
If you need any info, please tell me and I will provide.
