Thoughts on the Verizon G5 so far?

I took advantage of the BOGO offer from Verizon and got two LG G5 at Costco. I've been using my phone lightly, but I can't help but complain about the major issues that gets everyone else talking: Battery life.
I see other people have screenshots of achieving 6-7 hours of SOT, but I'm seeing nowhere near that. The most SOT I can see is having 3 hours before hitting to a depleted battery. Occasionally as well, the phone feels pretty hot to touch when it idles or have some fair amount of usage. Even right now I have it inside a thick, bulky protective case, and i can feel the heat from the back. Is it the SD820 or is there something off?
Just to make a comparison, I have been using the Sony Xperia Z3v for a year and a half with Verizon since its release and it's a great all around phone. I usually achieve 5 hours of screen on time or even more depending on how heavy I've used it. Waterproof, dual front facing speakers, 20.7 MP camera (although very outmatched by the G5's), and the power saver absolutely works. What I mean by that is that when the power saver is on in the G5, nothing seems to load at all.
So the overall question is, how is this phone for everyone? I absolutely love the camera, but the battery drainage and overheating is an issue for me. I've had thoughts about exchanging for the S7 Edge since it's pretty much a direct upgrade of my Xperia, but I'd like to see what the G5 can really offer. Oh and, how long is it until I get the extra G5 accessories from doing that bundle deal? Thanks.

You know I've noticed peoples complaints about that but to be honest I think its just certain phones that had these issues. I don't know how but mine hasn't been hot since I first set it up. My battery life lasts me a full 8 to 10 hours depending on if I do too much gaming or YouTube. Those are my biggest battery abusers. But I made sure to deactivate the bloatware Verizon wanted to install. I've had a good experience with mine. The only time I've been mind boggled was when out of the blue chrome would cause the phone to freeze up till I reset chrome. Other than that my device has been running so smooth.

I've been one of the people complaining about battery life. In the first week or so that I had my phone, battery life was miserable. I need to be completely honest here though. After getting into my second week of using this phone, my battery life has greatly improved. In my honest opinion, I think it needs about a good week to 'settle' or 'break in'. I've done nothing different done I set my phone up and I have deleted any apps or anything. I don't know if this is the case for anyone else or not.

I like the phone a lot. It is fast and everything works well.
The only things that I want improved are
1) Screen brightness adjustment. Too dark in dimly lit areas and too bright in normal room lighting.
2) Battery Life. This is a strange one. Some days I have really good life, but sometimes the standby use it high. Google Play Services sometimes eats a lot of battery. I have to reboot to get it to stop. There are also people saying that being on wifi causes more drain. I thought this was not true for me, but I am rethinking. It may be higher when I am at home and on wifi.

So far, I've yet to achieve substantial screen on time. It's really strange, I was having my phone used from 330 to 830 tonight, and it went from 100% to 45% with only 50 minutes of screen on time. WiFi and mobile data off, and I wasn't taking a lot of pictures.
One thing strikes me is the Held Awake/Doze clarified by GSam. That's eating the most battery, what exactly is it?

Honestly, I'm not positive. Make sure in your display settings, though, that you have 'screen always on' turned off.

I haven't been able to figure out why sometimes GSAM shows very little held awake with the phone deep sleep for a majority of the time and sometimes the held awake is almost the entire time since the phone has been unplugged. It seems that if the phone gets into the held awake state that you can get out of it by rebooting, at least it seems like that to me. I have not had enough time to come to firm conclusions on this. I am pretty sure that the held awake has something to do with Google Services or Play Services. It would be great if we can get root and limit the wakelocks from these. Just have to wait on that.

Pretty solid compared to the G4. No heating issues, battery lasts longer as well. I'm at 25%, 11h 7 min on battery 2hr 53min screen on time.

I average 14.5 hours total, 3.5 screen on time. I have noticed turning wifi off when I'm not using it saves a pretty decent amount of battery, which is odd.
I'm not upset with the battery life or anything, it's better than my S4 and G4 were, but if the S7 really lasts 7 hrs with screen on.... i don't know. I have another week to decide on restocking. I do love how quick it is, it's beautiful, feels great in the hand, and the option of removable battery.
I like this phone, and while it is better than the G4 in every way (very buggy, lag, missed taps, etc), I now get paranoid about any tiny bug on this thing and wonder if a Galaxy would be more reliable.

My first full charge I got 45 hours of battery life with 4 hours of screen on time. However that was before I had all my apps reinstalled and that 48 hours with 4 hours SOT included reinstalling all of my apps. Screen brightness on auto the entire time.
Since then I've only been getting 4 hours of SOT with 24 hours battery life. That's only 4 - 6 hours more of total time on an no more SOT than what my 2 year old LG G3 was getting.
LG skimping on the battery was a mistake.

Abysmal battery life.

I have run out of ideas. I have uninstalled apps, repaired the OS, done everything I can think of. The battery life of this phone is the worst I have ever experienced in a phone. I can barely get a day out of this phone (2hrs 30 SOT). I'm at my wit's end. Is it just my device or do others experience this. And does anyone have any idea what I can do?

Unfortunately Sony doesn't pack much into their batteries and software does take a toll. I had a Huawei P9 and P10 Plus and I would get a solid day of heavy use, with my XZ I can't make it to early evening with comparable usage. I prefer Sony handsets to all others, but I have to agree with you in that battery life is crap.

Yeah, but it wasn't always like this. I used the Z2 and it had great battery life and I also used a Z3 dual and it's battery life was even better. Compared to those 2, the XZ's battery life is shockingly bad. I used to get 6-7 hrs SOT on my Z3, 2 hrs is a struggle on this phone.

Check for phone idle battery drain it nukes my battery since 7.1

Make sure you do a factory reset after the update.
You will thank me for it later.
Also if you want to seriously see major peeofmance and battery improvement, you need to root and installtlal duality dra4.
People are achieving 5-10hour sot with 24-48hours usage.
The experience in this rom is night and day compared to stock.
Stock ROM is complete turd.
I'm giving you this information from my first hand experience. You need this rom, else you will continue to be disappointed I know this.
Why do I know, well I've been with Sony for 5years and haven't rooted for the passed 2 years until now. It's a must to root this phone else it's merely mediocre.
However the choice is yours

+1 ...man this is all thru... i have same xperience with Sony devices...i had xperia z,z2,z5 and now xz and since z5 everything is going down...less battery life...same speakers since z2...very bad loudspeaker its so low that even a low budget phone beats it.. also OVERHEATING badlly...but the design of the phone is way better then any competition atleast for me...and also xz is very durbale phone it fellt 5 times already on concrete also 2 times fell directly on the screen and nothing is broken yet...screen has only 2 little scratches and of course all corners are beaten up a little bit hehehe over all very durable trust me...this new plastic that they use is so good...and at the end i really must say that rootin is a must for this phone cuz since i got it i had constant problems with stock rom, specialy with ram usage it gave me lags all the time but now i use custom rom and xz is flying like it should.

Install wakelock detector or betterbatterystats and check what's draining your battery. This phone should easily achieve 1 day battery life. I'm getting 3,5-4 of Ingress (AR game that uses GPS+Mobile Data+screen on - so it's hard to drain more)m and about 5sot with normal use

New pixel 3, will battery life improve??

I just got a pixel 3 and so far am a bit disappointed in the battery life. I have on adaptive battery and am hoping that it will improve. I've turned off ambient display as I heard there was a battery drain issue. Overnight it drops like 15 percent!! I'm probably getting 3.5 to 4 hours SOT max.
Can anyone report back if they found theirs to improve after a few weeks or if you have any tips. TIA!!

It's not just your phone or usage, battery performance is just trash in this phone. I was wondering about the same thing when I got my Pixel 3 (November 2018), I think the overall performance of this phone is bad, Multitasking, I see foreground apps crashing which is ridiculous for a $1000 flagship phone from a company like Google. I don't even have heavy usage, I don't game, all I do is average 3 - 5 minutes everyday phone call, texting most of the time and Spotify 2 - 4 hours every day.
I have also gone through a whole defective phone exchange process because the phone which I received initially had freezing and lockout issues. I am not saying the replacement device is any good, I have seen this new one lock-out too, like completely go retarded, touch would stop responding, phone wouldn't come out of deep sleep, I could tell phone is ringing but I can't pick-up because it won't come out of sleep mode or the screen won't come on. I never had such horrible issues with my 4-year-old MOTO X PLAY which died because of my stupidity, even though it was old, I had better battery performance.
I think it's not the hardware but the whole Android Pie feels like its still in BETA. The whole point for me buying this phone was a Software optimization which is seriously poor and Camera optimization which is outstanding. If it wasn't for Camera, I would have returned this phone and bought a OnePlus 6T.
Let's just hope Google will fix everything.

Yeah I actually have a one plus 6t and am giving this a week or so before I decide to keep it. The 6t is absolutely insane when it comes to battery so I think I'm spoiled haha. Easily could get two days out of it

I am seeing a bit better battery after a few charges. I've read it gets better so I guess I'll give it a week or so.
As long as I can get 4-5 I'm OK

Why don't you try and switch off the adaptive battery? Some people complain about battery drain with adaptive battery on.
Coming from the Nexus 5 I find the battery life great! I always left adaptive battery on and don't feel any difference after 2 months...
And can't complain about any performance problems...

thanks for that tip, I'll try it now and see if it makes a difference!!

Yeah it's not great. I've got 5H SOT here and there but mostly 3.5-4.5. It lasts me the day so I guess it's ok. Performance is really great otherwise.
Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Mostly I'm at 3h when I hit 20%.
Overall I've gotten 3-4h SOT over one day (so around 15 hours).
Sleep drain is about 1.25% per hour with AOD off.
I keep location on all the time, BT off, wifi off if I'm on the go.
Other than that everything is at its default setting.
What are you guys doing to get over 4h SOT?
I know it's heavily dependent on your screen brightness, signal strength, how much standby drain and general use/settings.
Maybe you can give some tips.

Android needs time to adapt all for your personal usage. Battery get better and better in couple of days.
I had Galaxy S8 before and Pixel3 batery life is probably 50% better.
But night drain must be around 5%. Bigger drain is probably from weak network. Or bad app.

I got my pixel 3 at launch, left adaptive battery on for 3 months, non-root, all stock, no special tweaks or mods etc.
With adaptive battery on, overnight drain with screen facing down is about 10% over 7-8hrs....
After 3 months I gave up on adaptive battery, turned it off, overnight drain is now consistently less than 5%.
Can't say I'm not disappointed...

Highly disappointed with battery and heating

So 2 weeks with the phone. I absolutely love it, except for this huge problem. Is this normal??:
- It gets very overheated quickly, specially with camera or videocalls.
- Battery life is the worst one I have ever experienced. It will go from 100% to 15% in around 8h with 2,5h SOT. It's insane. Exact same setup with pixel 2 XL, lasts double
Do you think might be a damaged device? I tried ofc clean flash. Both Android 9 and 10 beta. Same issue...
Thank you

I've been having pretty bad battery life myself. Average of 3 to 3.5hrs SoT. Usually need a pick up charge during the day before bed.
Really annoyed cuz I love this phone. I've been trying out OnePlus 7 Pro and S10+. Don't like Samsung, used to love them, but I just hate that UI and their apps they push on you. OnePlus is amazing in terms of everything but the camera, and that is a big thing for me. OnePlus 7 Pro has been really great in performance, battery, everything, but the camera which is pretty mediocre.

I'm returning my OP7 Pro and going back to my Pixel 3. While I love the speed and smoothness of the 7 Pro, the camera is really bad. Too bad to compromise. Returning it and going back to my pixel 3 which also suffers crappy battery, but the camera is still the best

Yeah the battery life is mediocre, you would think they would have added some kernel profiling for such. Pubg eats battery when I play it and it gets so hot it's rather concerning. But on the plus side, it makes my wife put her phone down when she's riding on empty.

I might not be a power user but I get solid 5h SOT with DP3. Sometimes I can reach 6h SOT.
Standy by is around 14-16h, so it last a day.
As I am using DP3, I dont have any custom kernel not even root.
Signal at home sucks, I use wifi. But leaving home gives me the same result. If I stay in a place with good signal I can get even more.

Exactly the same issues I'm having. Overheating might usage and battery drain is horrendous.
Used the s10e with the same issues unfortunately. So went back to the pixel 3 knowing these compromises.

I think you may have a wakelock issue or a bad battery. I am running q beta 3 and still am at ~50 % after 11 hours

Do you think the pixel 3 is a good value phone today ?
I can have pixel 3 black in 128go for 400 € so I'm hesitating .....
Did the lasts updates improved battery life ?
Or it is more efficient to change the kernel to improve battery life ?
Thanks for your advices ?

Well after some days I have to say battery improved. It's not dramatic now but still being very weak. I changed location so maybe it's related to signal
For me now the dramatic point is the heating. There must be a bug or something, when you use front camera. It gets extremely hot. Videocalls are totally awful then

I think the phone is great in all other aspects. I am currently on Android Q beta 3 and the issues are the same from the time of purchase last October.
Regarding using custom kernels, I'm not into unlocking my phones and rooting nowadays so can't help you in that.
However if you are not into heavy gaming or editing, I've heard the 3a lineup performs better in regards to battery life. Might want to check them out before you decide.

I've been with beta for a while. Battery sucks but no overheating. This is the same with the official pie firmware.
I just got used to this and to be honest this happens with previous pixels.
It's an Android feature ?
I'm loving the size, camera and future navigation gesture.

@butchieboy and others
No complaint here for sure, but have any of you noticed a definite worse battery life vs say S20??
Yesterday and today noticed after just a few hours of use I'm down to 70s on battery
In all fairness I did a full Smart switch transfer from S20 to the Note ,, so maybe something screwed up
Any thoughts?

I didn't move anything over from my Note 10+. I did a full clean fresh install. And my battery life is MUCH worse than my Note 10+. I even have some drain when it's not being used at all. Hoping it settles a bit over the next few days.

I did my standard test with Gsam battery monitor: (use the Widget)
1. charge it fully.
2. go to bed and put it next to my bed.
3. In the morning after 8 jours it had just .7%/hour battery drain which is somewhat less than my Note 10+ which mostly gives me .8%/hour battery drain while sleeping during the night..
Huib

First day after overnight change. Almost 6 hout SOT. 4% left at the end of the day.

In my subjective view, so far seems to be definitely worse than my S10+ both with and without adaptive refresh.

We were talking about this on Discord. Granted I only charge to 80% and don't let it drop below 20%. But have noticed that my 10+ battery seems better. I know it usually takes a new device or new firmware once flashed or ota a couple days to calibrate but right now it hasn't been great..not really bad but I thought it would be better. I did noticed that after using that crap out of it then doing a cache wipe and starting my charge cycle to 80% it is a little better. But battery usage will vary depending on how each person uses their device. I switched to 96hz to see if I get a little extra time on battery. And for me...and its just me because I'm kinda OCD..lol I never restore anything, I always start fresh.

I posted a thread on this in general discussion. It doesnt appear any of these cores sleep.

3rd day today. Not bad. 2% left at 9:45 pm. Charged overnight.

No complaints on my end. You guys should give the phone a week to learn your usage patterns and then report back. Be sure to keep performance mode on optimized.

I know it usually takes a new device or new firmware once flashed or ota a couple days to calibrate but right now it hasn't been great..not really bad but I thought it would be better. I did noticed that after using that crap out of it then doing a cache wipe and starting my charge cycle to 80% it is a little better. But battery usage will vary depending on how each person uses their device. I switched to 96hz to see if I get a little extra time on battery. And for me...and its just me because I'm kinda OCD..lol I never restore anything, I always start fresh.

I started out fresh too my OCD will not let me use smart switch or anything else lol.. My battery is doing great but then again I have tons of stuff disabled that I don't use in package disabler and 96hz refresh rate locked in.

Mr Mike glad to see you here bro. I did disable my usual and since my last post, battery is much much better..my complaints have been retracted..lol

The standBy drain can be really bad. It seems to be losing 1 percent after every 5 min. Similar to while screen is on. Did a restart still the same. Google photo somehow keeps using battery while I had it killed and no uploading. Never transfer from my note 10+. Manually installed all apps and data.

Battery's been great for me so far. Looks like about 7 hours of screen time, can't complain about that.

are you on snapdragon?

The first rule of "new phone club" is to not talk about the battery. For at least a week after having the phone. It's pointless. Phone adapts after being used.
