Battery life thread

After update to Nougat 7.0 my H850 is losing battery very fast. 1:30h SoT -_-. Any solution? Already done a wipe...

Have you done a factory reset or two since the update?

That seems to help with the rapidly draining battery.

My battery drain issue seems to be completely random; just today I had a bad case where it was barely achieving 1 hour SoT with 50% drained over 3 hours. The main culprit, as I don't have root, seems to just be Android OS which is wakelocking too much.

Yeah, i have done 1 reset, just after update and drain is horrible!

I remember my Galaxy S6 and my brother's Nexus 6P wouldn't go to deep sleep until we disabled Google Backup feature (the one that backs up app data, settings, etc.) and restarted the phone. Try that.

Thanks for the suggestion, tried it and observed for a bit, didn't seem to help..

I found that I solved any drain issues by clearing all app preferences which removes all the permissions

This worked!!! Now I have to understand why charging the phone triggers the problem and what specific process within the android system it really is...

How many % do you lose per hour in IDLE ?
Apparently, N makes us losing TWRP. It's taking a great risk to upgrade before TWRP is present for G5/N.

How could a battery drain resist a flash ? Could it be caused by something in /firmware or in /sys ?

Right now, i'm working with the App "Disable Service" to try to find a culprit.

Right now I'm losing ca 5,6% an hour on standby, running a de-bloated stock ROM.
On CM I was up at almost 12% an hour, so stock has been fairer for the battery,

But how a drain can resist a flash is beyond me and my knowledge of this. I even tried to format everything except ext sd, which did not help either.

Didn't solve my problem. But I observed that I have this extreme battery drain since Facebook and Messenger drained hard the battery because of a bug. And then I remembered that I installed Greenify on my Nougat ROM. I removed Greenify : no more battery drain !!!!!!!

I'm quite surprised with this. I was on wifi most of the day keep in mind, but did go out for a bit around noon. Maybe 2 or 3 hours.

This is an entire day on one charge so I'm pretty happy with this battery life.

It's certainly worth trying flashing different firmware using LG up. When I got this g5 2nd hand it was losing 7 percent an hour on standby. I installed programs (accubattery is useful) and found phone never sleeped. Factory reset did not fix it. So knowing I was on O2 I flashed the O2 UK firmware and now I lose under 2 percent an hour with always on display activated. I've had the phone off charge from 7am to nearly midnight, used the screen for 4 hours 15 and still have 13 percent left which according to accucheck will get me an extra hour of screen on time. So that's 5 hours screen on! Not had many phones that could achieve that.
