Kit Kat killed my battery - T-Mobile LG G2

anyone else having terrible battery life since the 4.4.2 update?
I can't believe how fast my battery drains now with average use. I used to get through the day and would usually be at about 70% left when I plug in at midnight. It's 4pm now and I'm already at 52%.
I've really noticed over the last 4 or 5 days after doing the OTA update on the 22nd.
I am connected to wifi all day, bluetooth is on, gps off. reallly only used for a few short phone calls, some texting and bluetooth streaming on my commute. This is the same usage and settings as was before the update with excellent battery life.
Looked around but couldn't see anything about this... am I alone here.
thanks!

I'm also noticing what I think is bad battery life. But I just got the phone and updated to KitKat before I even played around so I have nothing to compare to.
But I'm getting close to what appears to 12 hours on moderate use. This is my first full day with the phone so I'll know more in a couple days.

Has anybody found a solution for this battery drain? Im at 59% with 2hrs sot . My nexus 4 battery is better than this.

So far my average is around 2.5 hrs screen time at the 50% mark.
Today it was at 3 hrs screen time at 50% (14 hours total). This is my first day being rooted also. I've only had the phone for 8 days now however, not sure if it's normal or not. Coming from my gs4 it's a ton better!

Yup same here. I fixed my deep sleep issue with root, and greenify virtually everything, but screen on kills my battery pretty fast. Getting about what you guys are as well.

Apparently there is a new update that is available to international users that fixed the issues reported. Bluetooth always running, knock code, and decreased battery

Battery life VASTLY improved since update

unplugged 2 hours, wifi on, gps on, auto update on, facebook, played friut ninja for about 20 minutes, 1 game of cribbage, and been getting 4-5 email per hour, battery at 86%, before I would have been at 60% with that much use.
Anyone else seen battery life increases?
This. It's noon and I'm still at 80%. I used to have to set my phone to flight mode all day at work just to make it through the day. Now I can leave 3G on all day and not worry about it. That's the best part of the update in my opinion.
I was about to post this also. Yes, I have noticed a dramatic increase in battery life since I've updated. Now granted, it's been less than 24 hours but it is noticeable. I'll see how it goes over the next few days. But I agree, I am very happy with the update so far.
Which ROM we're you guys running before? FJ6 (stock)? A lot of users noticed better battery life after updating to some of the leaked builds (JH2 onwards)

I'm running completely stock-out-of-the-box since I got it.
I actually have worse battery life since updating. Have background sync off,GPS off,push off and lost 30% from full charge in 2 hours

4h 45min since unplug.
Email push multiple times an hour, text messages, light internet use, light market use and 35 minutes of guns'n'glory. I am at 71%
Glad someone else noticed this
I'm a victim of the partial update but my battery drain has been nearly half! I've actually left live wallpapers on and can make it through the while day at the rate I'm going

6 hours 53 minutes since unplug and I'm at 23% battery. This is roughly on track with previous battery depletion, but today I've been doing heavier internet and Facebook use than usual. I think that, previous to this update, I would have had to charge by now. This is with background data and sync on, over wifi, with a combination of Google Listen, Music Player, and Pandora use.
The telling point is that screen battery use is about 10-12% lower than usual for this type of usage, at 54%. I've seen it as high as 70% on days when I'm playing around with the phone a lot.
I'm ready to call this an improvement.

My phone was at about 75% at around 8:00PM last night. It's currently 2:42PM now and it's only down to 25%. Granted, it was in sleep mode from around 12:30AM to about 7:00AM. But I did use it moderately last night and throughout the day today. So the battery performance has definitely improved for mine (stock with yesterday's update).
For those who have seen an improvement:
- Did you use a task killer pre-update?
- Are you using one now?

Unfortunately my battery life has been greatly decreased by the update. My phone is rooted, but the update installed without any trouble on the first try. Before the update the phone was fine between 9am and 1-2am without charging it at all. That's being on wifi most of the time, and maybe a bit of talking, e-mail, and rss reading. Once asleep I'd let it charge overnight. Typically Display used the most battery, usually about 50%.
Since the update I find that I need to charge the phone in the middle of the day. The first full day of the update I used the audio player for several hours, so I thought maybe that was it, but I've done that before without a major impact on the battery. Today I didn't use the audio player at all, and after 8 hours the battery is down to 26%.
According to the power usage information the largest consumer is Voice calls, at 29%. That was 11m 46s of call time. Looking at Juiceplotter, for a typical day at work before the update my battery dropped about 2% in 2 hours, with the phone on wifi, and otherwise idle. Today the phone lost 6-9% in 2 hours of being idle.
The last time I charged my phone was yesterday morning. I just plugged it in an hour ago at 15%. Thats like, 35 hours on a charge after moderate usage. Not bad. Much better than my old G1 heh.
I'm at 45 hours, still at 29%. Light usage, probably ~12 hrs in flight mode, but music player on for about 5 hrs, 5 min voice call, a few texts, some facebook/web. Still very impressive!
I've had slightly better battery life since the update.

Horrible battery life Verizon model

After 7 hours, I'm at 14%. Screen was on for 2 hours and I haven't been doing anything intensive (3d games or movies etc) just some web browsing. On automatic brightness. Are other people getting battery life this bad?
what about gps, nfc, app update intervals, there can be a lot going on in the background.

How is the LTE signal in your area, if its not strong and swapping back and forth from 3g to LTE all day it can take a huge toll on your battery.
Try it without wifi and 4g. ONLY use 3g. I have a theory...

Mine seems to be doing great. The signal isn't that great in my house either. This is more real time use as I was asleep for a while. But when I woke up at 10am this morning it was at 92. I've been using it moderately ever since. I get about 8 hours with ridiculous use(4+hr screen on time).
Never on wifi.
Edit: I realize its kind of a bad example since it was in standby more than awake. But I'm getting great battery.

Screenshots for those of you wondering
I had the same problem as you did. What made a significant change for me was changing amount of apps to keep running at 4 instead of default. Also I found the xda app runs in the background, continues to drain the battery. I have to manually kill the xda app every time I exit it. For today I'm at 12 hour running, and screen on 1.5hrs and 59 percent battery life.

Ditto on the xda app, it was burning up cpu cycles while in the background, enough to make my phone warm. So I just close it every time I'm done using it.

Woh how are you getting your current draw? The apps that I've tried won't support the s3.

I have the Verizon model of the S3 as well. I have had it for over a week now because I was an early pre-order so I got it really early. For the first few days I was getting really bad battery life. I would maybe only get 8 - 9 hours with moderate usage, that being about 2 hours of screen time. I would play no games, and just browse the web and text. I am a big texter though, but on my DINC as long as I had mobile data switched off I could get plenty of life out of my phone. With this phone for some reason after about 70 percent, mine will start to drain much faster regardless of what I am using it for, even if the screen is is off. Just to test it I left all the radios on while the phone was at 100 percent over night, and the next morning it was at 96. The next day I tried the same test when my phone was at 50 percent battery, and when I woke up it was at 10 . I don't really understand what is going on here either. I keep seeing all of the reviews for the device even the Verizon version to point towards great battery life, but I am just not seeing it. Maybe rooting and a re-flashing the stock rom plus removing bloatware will help. I also got another battery just to see if that was the problem, but it doesn't seem to be. I'm hoping this is just a software issue, because I don't know why some can get such great battery and some can't. I would also hate to have to get a replacement phone.
im getting around 10 hours with Heavy use ... 6 hours of pandora, youtube, email, facebook, twitter, web

non rooted Nexus 5, how's your battery ?

how's your battery doing guys when you go heavy use with this phone ? with or without wifi.

before i rooted i had great battery life. Unless your playing games for a while with the screen on full brightness. I saw about a day to a day and 1/2
Rooting alone does not make a bit of differences to your battery life

so anyone ever reached the phone from fully charged with standard SOT 3-4 hours from your nexus 5 and the battery still runs good ?
For me the key about the N5 battery life is two fold;
1. It loses very little juice on idle, even with all of the radios on.
2. It charges exceptionally fast.
Now, if you run screen brightness up and use google navigation the battery can go fast. Real fast. But for me, what is important is that if I know I am going to be away from the charger for a while I can easily tweak my behavior to get me there.

Battery Life Discussion

Before purchasing, I was a little concerned about the amount of battery time between charges on the S6. I picked up the phone yesterday and was able to get 4+ hours of Screen On Time (SOT) with my first full charge. I didn't think that was too bad. I think the fact that it is a new device, I tend to "play" with it more in the beginning. I'm hoping it will get better as it settles into my routine. I still am a little concerned though as I didn't even have an hour of talk time to go along with the SOT, didn't stream music, play any games or really use any other apps. It's been quite a while since I've had a smaller sized battery in a phone I've owned so I may be hoping for too much when it comes to battery life. I had the LG G2, Galaxy S5, LG G3 and Note 4 prior to purchasing the the S6. I love the phone and don't plan on switching. I just thought I would get others opinions on it.
Battery life is bad. This is what it predicts for me. I get 15 hours basically with only chat and web browsing. I sleep off the charger and the phone loses 10-12%
Gps and playing music during a drive just gave me 4 hours. I'm trying to break the battery in by bringing it to 5% and recharging, but this is laughable.

Here's what I've got for the day
So far I'm not happy with the battery life. I'm coming from a G3, where the phone would stay at 100% for several hours, and by the end of the day would be anywhere from 30-50%. I received my S6 yesterday, got everything set back up and use the same apps as my G3, but within a couple minutes the battery was already at 99%, then 20 minutes later was in the mid 90's.
This is the first full day on a charge, with very light use, and this is what I have so far:
Taken off the charger around 6AM at 100%, and now at 7PM it's at 13%.
13 hours on battery
1h 32m SOT
I installed Greenify and GSAM battery monitor, hopefully that will help.

I think we've been spoiled by the LG batteries and then I went to the Note 4 so that doesn't help my comparison either. Today was better for me then yesterday though. Yesterday I was ready to take it back and tell them to keep it. Right now I've been off the charger for 90 mins. I'm down to 91% with 24 mins of calls and 23 mins of SOT.
So far my battery life is soso. Took off charger at 5:40am Saturday morning Eastern time. Currently at 21% with fairly light usage. Texting, little bit of Web browsing, some reading on Kindle app. I expect with normal usage I'll probably get in the 15-16 hour range. Which is uninspiring. perhaps an update will increase efficiency.
Cell standby is the #1 drain for me, comparible to many of the complaints in the main S6 forum prior to the vzw variant being released.

I think that is pretty good. Over 5 hours SOT and still 16% battery life left. Anything over 5 hours is very....very...good.
Looks to me like if they fix that cell standby bug we'll have a monster of a phone. 5 hours screen on time and its only 10% of the battery drain.... I'm curious to know if this cell standby bug is just a mistake in how battery stats are being reported.

I've seen a big improvement in battery today. No change in use. I have over 2 hours of talk and over 3.5 hours of SOT. Still have 22% and it's been 18.5 hours since the charge. My concerns are starting to go away.
Ok so here's all my info for you guys... I am on Verizon, and turned off the VOLTE calling when I got the phone based on the stuff I'd read. I had high cell standby usage. I turned it back on and it went awY to normal.levels, even with WiFi on all day and crappy signal.
I am using Nova launcher, and no theme. I do use a black background, basically a picture of a clear night sky with tons of stars. The day in the picture was a day of heavy Waze use with screen on, heavy Web surfing and some youtube. As few texts and some bacon reader.
I don't see volte calling anywhere I settings. I see "advanced calling". Is that it?

The problem doesn't seem to be SOT, but standby time. When I use the phone for an extended period of time, such as when I'm in bed for an hour, I only loose a few percent. However it seems to drain nearly as fast when it's in my pocket. This is why some get 5 hours of SOT while people like me who dont use it much are lucky to get 2 hours. Standby time seems to max out around 12-14 hours.

My Verizon S6 (64GB black) also has Cell Standby as the number one drain on the battery. It's significant compared to my Note 4, where Cell Standby is much lower on the list, and which loses a lot less battery power when idle compared to the S6. Doing a full factory reset, wiping cache doesn't change this fact on my device. Good to see that others have this issue, though I wonder if Samsung/Verizon will really do anything to address it. I love some aspects of the Galaxy S6, but the battery life is an issue for me.

Yeah, this is exactly what I see. My S6 lost 11% of battery as it idled while I slept, with Cell Standby as the largest user of battery (by far) during that time. It has to be a bug, as my Note 4 (with Lollipop) doesn't have this issue.
So my first two cycles on Friday and Saturday were pretty normal and the phone idled incredibly. Then all of a sudden the last couple of cycles (and this one I'm on now apparently) are being killed by Google Play Services, even while idle. I hate that app (not really). I wish it was more clear what within it was eating up the battery.
My experience: Got a S6 Edge from Verizon Apr 10. I was having data issues where I couldn't load pages even though it said 4G. My Cell Standby was pretty high 30%-40%. I was attributing the poor reception to the Cell Standby. They finally gave me a new phone yesterday. The data issue was fixed but my Cell Standby is still high at 30% (I turned off Advanced Calling). I'm assuming this isn't a hardware issue unless I'm really unlucky.

is battery that bad?

i read a lot of post before getting Nexus 5 last year during summer about his terrible battery life
when i got the phone i could still run a normal day usage
i was reading this article and i add in "PhoneArena.com's custom battery benchmark" a nexus 5 and the result is
S6 7:14
Nexus 5 4:50
PhoneArena.com's custom battery benchmark
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Batt...flagships-stack-up-against-each-other_id70173
not sure if this is realistic or many users has tons of app that drain S6, but if S6 has 25% more battery life that Nexus 5 i would say that is not that bad
Battery Life on the Galaxy S6 is about average at worse... but it is good... right now I have 10h 30m off charger and 2h 38m screen on time and 49% left... people just say that because it has the most powerful processor and best display on the market but the second smallest battery on any flagship... but it is more than numbers you know... and I have to say this thing charges incredibly fast... Dead to 100% in an hour and sometimes even less...
Battery is at most acceptable for daily use.
Acceptable, but not an issue because it goes from 40% to full so darned quick!
I have no idea how folks get such good SOT. I have never gotten more then three hours on any device. Some of that is that I have bad vision and I like it at least halfway to full brightness. I also have a great aversion to turning off any features. I paid to have a full featured smartphone, not a gimp!

the only way to compare battery performance of different phones is to do a maximum screen on time test with a comparable brightness,everything else just compares software wakelock bugs, most caused by 3rd party apps at that
(edit: or do screen off music playback like this test did)

I have mostly everything on except NFC, Bluetooth and GPS (only on when I need them) and I have brightness always either 50+ percent or 100 percent and get 5 hours SOT every single day. I do stream about an hour a day music through bluetooth and 4g to my car, and the usual, Facebook, Whatsapp, Camera use, Texts, hour os so of calls. The phone lasts a full day.
The only reason this phone will have lower than 5 hours screen time is if you're using your camera, sat nav software, or games all day.

Camera! I'm always shooting... I do use bluetooth a lot, but that doesn't appear to drain it much. I also turn my brightness all the way up if I'm shooting outside. I hear that Samsung has research going that could double battery capacity, but it's a little way off. That would be wonderful. Until then, I am happy to be able to recharge so fast...
It's not great but good (enough?) (and perhaps pretty damn good regarding the battery size), and indeed charges hella fast. I came from the Z3 which lasted very long though so I might be spoiled...
I actually achieved 5hr SOT yesterday (and total usage of 2 days) but it depends so much on use. After recharging to 100% and using whatsapp a lot the battery drained a lot faster for example. Now at 35% remaining with 2:10h SOT (and whatsapp and google services being the top spenders).
But yeah
this fast charging is not going to kill the battery really fast?
The battery is ****. Very similar to the Nexus 5, if not a bit worse. I use my phone quite a lot during the day. From full charge at 7am, I get the 15% battery notice at about noon. I charge it using fast charger till it reaches about 45%.. By 5pm I'm getting the low battery notice again.
I had the G4 for a week. Nearly full day of use out of that thing with same usage patterns I have on the S6.
The battery life was designed as either a secondary device or for people with a boring social/work life.

I decided to keep mine because the build quality on the S6 is on par with the iPhone 6. I enjoyed the battery life in the G4 but didn't feel I got my money's worth in quality compared to the S6. The moment a higher capacity battery is released for the S6 is the moment I'll be completely content.

I was off the charger around 4:15 this morning. Down to 14% already. And it's only 8:40am here

Battery is surely not the best. With email sync using MailDroid, I had to charge the phone twice within the day. I don't use Facebook app, so that's a saviour. I stopped using MailDroid and battery life improved.
My usage is low to moderate, and am always on 4G LTE. Last 3-4 days I'm charging at morning 8 AM to 100%, it comes down to around 45% at 9 PM. I switch off Data at night and battery stays constant (maybe 44%). But again, if I keep screen ON for a while, then the battery is gone!
Battery is about as good as the S4, but worse than the HTC m8. Overall, it's awful considering you cannot swap it out. Unless you don't use the phone much during the day, you will need to charge it overnight and then once more during the day minimum.
This is pretty damn good in my book...
About 30 min of real racing and 10 minutes cs portable... the rest is browsing texting and youtube... half LTE and half Wi-Fi. I also had location services running on high accuracy the whole time sucking up battery life
Is it normal that Google service is always that high?

I have mostly everything on except NFC, Bluetooth and GPS (only on when I need them) and I have brightness always either 50+ percent or 100 percent and get 5 hours SOT every single day. I do stream about an hour a day music through bluetooth and 4g to my car, and the usual, Facebook, Whatsapp, Camera use, Texts, hour os so of calls. The phone lasts a full day.
The only reason this phone will have lower than 5 hours screen time is if you're using your camera, sat nav software, or games all day.
