Battery Drain Issues

[SprManKalEl]

Sometimes when I charge to 100% and unplug my VS990 gets hot and drains the battery VERY quickly. I Check the battery usage and I see the graph with a drop that looks similar to King Da Kah and it will tell me that I have 3 hours left. If I pull the battery and reboot (sometimes 3 or 4 times) it will show a more normal representation of the battery drain and tell me I'll have 10 hours or more.

I firmly believe this is because LG has NOT updated to 6.0.1 even though it was available 4 months prior to updating to Marshmallow. Now we are 9 months after 6.0.1 was released and no update.

I literally just went through a factory reset and still the same farm thing.

Is anyone else frustrated with this phone as I am? I keep a charger and a second battery with me all the time. None of these issues in Lollipop and LG and VZW have yet to fix the phone with 6.0.1.

I have zero issues with battery drain. My phone lasts all day with moderate usage. You might have a hardware issue or app draining the battery. Have you reflashed marshmallow with LGUP starting fresh.

I have not done that. That will be the next step. I hate having to set up all over again.

This is what happens after a full charge.

That first screenshot is really weird. Everything looks good for the first hour or so...then bam.

Happens with both batteries I assume? Did you try pulling out some of the apps or their updates? Then reloading them? Saw that somewhere.

I have certain apps that I must have. But I have factory reset the device. Today is not so bad. I'm chalking this up to not having 6.0.1.

Yep! A reflash will help. My extended battery gets me through a day, but never with a standard battery. I have to constantly charge on a standard battery. I am sure it is due to the apps installed which is why it varies from one person to the next. I would also remove all un-used apps to keep all the background activity to a minimum.

I have not noticed much difference on Marshmallow, unfortunately. Don't defer the update for battery reasons. Defer if you want possibility of root, but otherwise, Marshmallow has been just fine for me.

How do I re-flash? I'm not rooted and when I plug into the LG update software my phone appears and when I click it I get no option to Repair the software.

Will it work if I'm not rooted?

I'm having difficulty finding VS99023A software. Can I use the previous release? Can someone point me to the download?

You can flash any marshmallow version then just OTA to 23A

Thank you again. I really need to try it as yesterday I could not download any apps on WiFi. Also, YouTube videos were not loading every time. I've never experienced that.

I tried to use 11B and LGUP said it couldn't do it because it is smaller than the current version.
