LG G5 Idle Battery Drain FiXED after V20P Update!!!

[SergiuStatache]

Hi to everyone,
I just one to let everyone know that the wakelocks problems seems to have disapeared with the V20P update (I made it with LG Bridge, not with OTA).
My phone, like others, was NOT dozezing at all... and geting a max of 1.5 - 2 hours of SOT.

V20P for which variant?

V20P for which variant?

For the H850, European version. I live in Romania, if it helps. Like I said, I made it with LG Bridge, since the KDZ for Romania isn't out yet (on lg-firmwares.com) so I can flash it with LG UP.

Hmm. Thought the 20p is only for at&t variant, different models shares the same update code name, that's new for me.

I've attached some ss with software info and battery usage.

Hi!
I've checked for software updates with both LG Bridge and by going into the settings and checking for them, both have told me I'm on the latest version of current OS. I'm on h850, v20k-EUR-XX right now and I live in Sweden.
Very grateful for any help!

Yep, checked at lg-firmwares too and as you said, only GB version is on there. Guess I'll have to wait a bit. Thanks a lot though

No only G5, my dead G4's battery drained quickly when bluetooth is on, even when there is no BT connection at all.

flashed 20p on my Netherlands EU H850 which had 20k version. Please note that I could not successfully upgrade it so had to wipe entire phone (sd card data was fine).

as for me.... i see at the SS that the phone still drains the battery while not being used at night...

How can i get this upfate on my H860?

battery drain at night is also possible due to your cell signal reception quality, especially in a bad reception area this variable can drain your battery quite a lot.

nevertheless I noticed a significant improvement on this new 20p, I ordered a new battery a week ago and decided it was a nice point to start fresh with a new firmware.

was worth the couple hours I invested.

fingers crossed

They pushed out a 20n version, again in UK. Does someone know the difference to 20p?

Is it for different carriers? I just got 20N on my 3 UK phone

I'm on 20p and still have same problem. However I did update ota. I'll find 20p firmware and start a fresh. I had no issue on marshmallow. But nougat is smoother and nicer to use. I'd love to keep it. I'll try what you suggested and use LG up.

No I'm not. I'm on s firmware following more updates. Don't tell me s broke it again. Maybe I should just flash brand new firmware using LG up. The problem could be caused by updating ota.

So i installed latest 20s firmware using lg bridge and battery drain with screen off was 3 percent an hour. That means over 1/3 of your battery is lost with phone doing nothing. With my collection of apps phone only sleeps 40 percent of the time. I downgraded back to marshmallow and it's 90 percent asleep with same apps. Battery drain only 1.5 percent an hour. Can cope with that as using Bluetooth smart watch and lots off syncs. Interestingly the battery life of my garmin smart watch drops to 2 days when using nougat from 7 days when using marshmallow. But uninstalling garmins app and turning off Bluetooth only improves standby drain by 0.1 percent on the G5.

Nougat ok if you set location to GPS only

Back to nougat. It's just much smoother than marshmallow and heats up less. Seems the problem is the location settings. With this on GPS only and no WiFi scanning I get much less wakelocks.
It's made a whole day with 4 hours 30 screen on.
Can't complain at that. About what I'd expect given screen and battery size. Some of that transferring photo's over WiFi and playing games. Rest browsing the web.
