[Q] Is my battery life normal?

I have an office job that does not provide me with wifi. So when I'm on my phone at work I generally stick to 3G. I got frustrated with my poor battery performance using stock + root greenify. So, yesterday I changed to Elementalx 1.0. I was running 4.4.3 yesterday and was surprised that the results using the new kernel weren't much better. I then decided to compare using 4.4.4. This showed about a 30 minute increase in SOT but obviously my usage wouldn't be exactly the same as it was yesterday.
Android 4.4.3, ElementalX 1.0, and Greenify (root)

Android 4.4.4, ElementalX 1.0, (no Greenify)
So in summary, the first scenario gave me 3 hr 9 m of screen time. The second gave me 3 hr 44 m.
Other things to note, I run location tracking set to battery saving mode. I also do not disable wifi poling. Both of those are going to ding my battery life but I would imagine that the lack of wifi and relying on mobile data is what's really killing me. Any advice guys?

If you turn location off and disable the WiFi polling, you'll get better battery life. Also your signal is weak at the beginning of those screenshots and that'll drop your battery life quite a bit.

Are you aware of any apps / xposed modules to handle turning off wifi polling, or is this something that people do manually?

your battery life is fairly normal. there are ways to improve it, but it wont be a huge improvement. anyways, with what i see from your signal, and with a little tweaking, between 4-.4.5h should be your norm. what brightness do you keep it at? the percent will make a significant impact in battery life. i keep mine around 20-25% usually.
anyways, kernels dont really play much of a role in battery life, despite what many say. battery life is mostly determined by how you personally use your phone, how you set it up, whichbapps you use, and the quality of data/phone connection that you receive. everything else plays a very minor role in battery life.

go to the phones main settings, wifi, press the 3 dots on bottom right, advanced, niw disable scanning always available. that should help a little with battery as well.

[Q] Battery life.

Okay, I just transitioned away from the Note 3 about two weeks ago.
I got S-Off and Root without issue. Currently running Viperone on my device. I love the ROM and features, so that's good.
My qualm is battery life. Without fail, I might be lucky to get 6 full hours on battery. Truth be told, I am a heavy user and seldom use Wifi since I have unlimited data. What have you guys done to improve your battery life on this device?
I have brightness turned WAY down and make sure I don't enable radios while they are not in use. Beyond that, I do use greenify and wakelock detector to make changes via Greenify accordingly. I even went so far as to put a darker theme and wallpaper on my device to reduce battery drain. Ideas?
Thanks to anyone with any shinfo.

1. That's abnormal times, I have yet to drain the device on 12 hours (with normal usage)
2. Greenify works fine, I use it too
3. Don't bother using a dark wallpaper, it doesn't save energy on this type of screen, only amoled screens.
4. Try a clean flash, I'm running clean ROM and my battery life has been fantastic, much better than my note 2

Good looking out on that, I totally forgot about the display not being AMOLED. I will try a clean flash and see what happens--perhaps I will run CleanROM for a week and see where it takes me. Thanks again!

Tried a clean flash and I am still running down quickly. I seriously hope this is not an issue with the equipment, but it's looking to be more and more true.

Hmm. Strange, but I still doubt it. Make sure GPS, bluetooth, and NFC are disabled when you aren't using them. Also try enabling art by first enabling developer options by going to settings, about phone, software information, more, and tapping build number repeatedly. Then back out to the root of the settings app and enter the newly found developer options. In there, click the box that says runtime, and select art. This will reboot and take quite some time to convert all the data. Not that xposed modules and a good portion of third party mods are not compatible with art. Sorry if you knew this info, but I didn't want to risk it. Art gives me significantly better battery life than dalvik.
Here is my battery usage today with art and power saver

Help with Battery life

I recently got one of this phones off ebay deal. So far the phone has been really good (after going to 5.1.1) other than the battery life which is super terrible. I leave for office at 8AM and by the time I am back around 6:30 in evening its already down to 8-9% with barely 1 hour of SOT. While using the phone I can clearly see battery going down by 1 percent every two minutes.
One of the other things I noticed is it takes a while to charge battery. Almost takes 4 hours to charge it.
Have done everything listed in various thread on XDA to fix battery drain but nothing is helping. To summarize I have
- Rooted my phone
- Disable AT&T enhanced 4G LTE
- Tweak setting with kernel auditor
- Disable ATT bloatware
- Install greenify and amplify
- Installed CF.Lumen to control brightness
Not sure what I am missing here now. Any help is appreciated from you guys.

Does the phone feel warm on the back when it's just sitting?
If so, you probably have a runaway app. You can check the battery section in options and see what's eating battery.
I had this a while ago on nexus 5 with the ebay app, the same also happened to a friend of mine with the same app.

hello, there.
i had the same problem, it seems that your phone is not going to deep sleep mode.
i fixed my problem with Nitro X, you can find it here on xda.
now i am very happy with my battery, for example now it says on battery for 2 days 15h 29min 22s and still 60% battery remaining.
hope this helps.

It only gets warm when playing some games. I will look at some of the apps as you suggested. Thanks,

Thanks. I am gonna give it a shot. I see they have 2 versions - X86 and Non-X86. which one should I flash? Also since flex 2 doesn't support any recovery (twrp etc) should I just flash it with Flashfire app?

hello kunalmalviya,
i downloaded the non x86 (=the arm version).
i do not know about flashfire, you should ask on the forum.
Please click the thanks! button if that helped.
PEACE.

Try reflashing latest software via LG Flash Tool.
I have no issue with battery life. It is slightly better than on LG G2 which is awesome. (3-4 hours SOT without any problems, no tweaks, no root, brigthness on 100%, Wi-Fi, NFC and LTE enabled all the time, Google Now enabled, Google Location Services enabled and lot of apps running in background).

Question Anyone already debloated his Phone?

I asked myself, if debloating the P7P is worth to increase Smoothness and Battery Consumption and get rid off the Bloatware.
Any Advices?

I haven't disabled or uninstalled any of the apps that came with the phone and the phone is really smooth and I am getting really good battery. My overnight idle drain last night (9 hrs) was .45%/hr and it sits now at .53%/hr.

I wish my standby was that low. I'm at 1.1%/hr right now. Not in a super strong signal area though.

It's a Google phone. Not much to debloat, is there?

Nope. That's one reason people get Pixels

I uninstalled a couple of apps I will not use, and was only able to disable one or two more. But if you really need to you can use ADB, or a GUI app utilizing ADB to do the same. Remember that in most circumstances when you "delete" an app it is really not deleted but just made unavailable to user number 0 (zero) which is the main user = you!

Debloating a pixel for smoothness and better battery life? Ugh... This isn't the early 2000's dude. Placebo is awesome though.

I always turn that off but let me double check.
EDIT: Yeah, it's off.

Damn seeing all these issues really makes me reconsider getting a Moto Edge 30 Ultra instead :/

Is this thread a prank? This is a Google phone, not a Samsung.

Lineageos for microg if it matters at all. 1440p/120hz

The latest Lineage is based off June firmware release, if I'm not mistaken and there's complaints of battery drain plaguing us Pixel users again. Myself included!
Hmm though you're using microg which may make a difference, but perhaps not!
Some Google Pixel phones have excessive battery drain after June Feature Drop
A few people also face connectivity issues following the update

LoS is one of my favorite roms to run on my non-flagship phones..Is stock bad on pixels?
I have great battery life on stock and now on beta android 14.I average 8-10 hours of sot..
Reason why i ask is i only hear negative things about custom roms on pixel 7 pros in which im running. What benefits does a custom rom have over pure stock pixel exclusive android?
Im curious..anyone running custom roms on pixels please chime in..

On the rom I use we have all the Pixel exclusive features and a few extras I enjoy. Mostly, volume button skip track, network traffic monitor, better QS tiles with some theming as well. There are other things, but I don't use them.

oh ok as long as the same features and timely updates i guess i see now why one would flash a custom rom.. I still wont i love stock.. I do want a custom kernel though..

Why u need to start a new thread?
We already have LOS20 ROM thread, where u can post anything related to it

True, I am on the May version of Evolution X with Kirisakura Kernel, and it's getting excellent battery life, and with customizations; it's well worth it. Plus the camera work as it should like stock firmware. I know there are some problems with the June version of Evolution X, so it seems it a firmware problem with the June firmware itself. Glad the update is put off, cause with stock, there not much of choice to put off an update, google just bothers with update notification, hated that even more with Samsung.
