LG G5 Battery drain.

[dmarco]

Have my G5 for a few days now and I absolutely love it. The only issue I have is with the battery drain overnight. I charge my phone to 100% then unplug it and leave it overnight, when I wake up in the morning, usually 7 hours later, the battery drops down to around 70%. Any ideas why this happens? Is anyone else experiencing these results? Anyhe help would be greatly appreciated.

I got mine yesterday, and noticed it drained faster after using quick charge, I charged it with a normal charger, and stayed at 100% for about an hour of use

Mine came with the standard LG charger, not the quick charge one.
What type of charger did yours come with?

In the battery stats page what app is using the power?

The screen when I'm using the phone, but it shouldn't be draining it when the phone sits overnight. Right? Am I missing something here?

Maybe you have always on display enabled?

 

[dmarco]

I do, but it is only supposed to use .08% of battery per hour.
Do you suppose that's the culprit? Perhaps I'll shut that display off tonight and check the results in the morning.

I believe it's .8%, so basically 1% an hour. 1% over 1 day is nearly 25% of your battery if you don't touch it - that is ONLY the screen - behind the scenes you also have the processor, radio, etc. The processor is also working harder to show the AOD. I see it as a plus, but I'd turn it off myself because I don't need it. I'd rather turn the screen on once an hour rather than having it always on.

My wife says she fully charges her G5 and I'm the morning it's 100%. She says if she gets numerous texts and phone calls (from me while I'm out working on cell sites), then it's 95%.

So I think maybe you may have a renegade app running.

Thanks for the help. How would I locate this renegade app? LoL

I just don't see the point of having an always on display if it's not worth using. WTF LG?!

The only non stock apps she installed were 2 banking apps, Netflix, and Panda Pop.

What apps have you added?

Oh man, I have 103 apps installed on here already. It'll take me a while to figure this out.

Get a wakelock detector, that's should help you see what is doing the drainage

Yeah, what Veliion said ^^^^

@dmarco First, I see that you have a very weak signal. What settings to use network mode, GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto? Try to GSM / WCDMA auto.

It is optional

Thank you all very much. I'll get a wakelock detector. And then try using different network settings. Hopefully that'll work.

I have actually been surprisingly happy with the battery life. Thinking it was going to be bad because of smaller battery i am pretty happy so far

I'm going to take a photo of my wife's screen after full charge (or mine since I will be activating my new G5 in a few minutes, once I finally decide whether or not to use Google cloud restore or the NFC feature to restore my old phone contents), and then another photo in the morning..
