Usage on Battery - 47h 26min
Estimated Remaining - 31h 45min


No complaints. I might add I don't use my G4 like a Gameboy and run totally stock with only the Apps I need installed.

Started experimenting with greenify, amplify and appops xposed, and the results seem good till now. 4 hours sot is still good compared to other flag ships, but getting 5 or more hours screen on time isn't harmful as well :)

I don't any compromise in performance etc...

Not all people can get 5 sot out of the box. I believe it depends on cellular coverage and other factors that are not necessarily specific to the device.

Battery life on MM are terrible compared to Lollipop!

Before update I reach 3 SOT, now only 2 hours!

*excuse me for my bad english
That's what I'm seeing too, but maybe I'll give it four days then I'm going back to lollipop as it was great for me. Minimum 4hrs SOT everyday on LP but now i only see 2hrs 30min Max on MM

Try clearing cache in recovery. Little less extreme than a factory reset.

How are you using xposed on marshmallow when it doesn't work for the LG G4 yet?

Excuse my english

Do you speak about

Factory reset using the option "Factory data reset" in setting menu of G4?

No i'm saying try to clear the system cache and then observe. You have to boot into the recovery menu to do it.

Not factory reset.

This way your data is preserved and it will rebuild cache. Sometimes old cache and new cache can cause conflicts.

Just want to add my stats in as well after a few days of flashing,best result is 4 hour 52 min screen on time with 11% left. Mostly on wifi and on lte here and there. Almost all Browsing Web, 1 hour of podcast with screen off.

Make sure you do a factory reset upgrading to marshmallow I had really had Google play service drain without wipe, now it's all good

Oh! it seems its depends on the variant. See this

The 'clear cache option' should be listed below factory reset. But it seems its not there for non-sprint variants.

I returned to LP where I can end the day with 40% battery while in MM was at best 10% and the end of the day.

LP v10e.
MM v20b.

Both upgrade and downgrade were done by LGUP using kdz.
That doesn't really matter how it was upgraded. I feel it's always best to do a factory reset whenever there is a major update although in "theory" you shouldn't have to. Better safe than sorry, I can spend the extra hour at the end of the day setting back up my phone.
