Standby drain

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the LG V10's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Not impressed with the steady drain.

Turn off Enhanced LTE.

I find it drops less than 5% overnight
I recently returned my first LG V10 to T-mobile and have found the battery
life to be greatly improved however on the previous phone it would drop
about 40% overnight!!!

How did you convince them to do an exchange... was battery life one of the reasons?

It was a combination of poor audio and overheating but I did
mention the battery drain was ridiculous!
I knew something was wrong with the phone and I was within my
14 days at T-mobile so they replaced the phone and since then
my battery life has greatly improved!!! and it does not get hot like it did
also I had stuttering before that doesn't happen either

wow lots wrong. my problem is that i'm rooted and have exposed installed so i never know if its the mods affecting the phone overheating and battery drain. Glad tmobile was able to do a swap.

WIFI is stuck on and won't chut-off for dep sleep. How do you turn off enhanced LTE?

 

[Robert235]

is enhanced LTE named volte?

Turn off VoLTE and also look in the advanced setting in the wifi area, press the three dots at the upper right of the screen, and turn off location and passport.

I still have the feeling that I bought a 'red headed step child' and I don't know if I'm liking it.

Coming up on 4 hours on battery (unplugged at home, trip to work, sitting at work) and I am still showing 100%, not seeing an idle drain issue. Running bone stock.

I have both WiFi(not connected to a network for commute or at work) and sync enabled (Google, Facebook), GPS and Bluetooth disabled.

 

[carbon12]

Coming up on 8 hours on battery and a few texts and quick Facebook scrolls... sitting at 94%. Estimated time remaining is around 58 hours.

I think I'm getting mine to sleep now. Unchecking the location and passport options under the wifi advanced settings appears to have helped dramatically.

Excellent!

Some of the ideas mentioned above helped, but rooting my phone i noticed a process kept wanting root. Non stop. Did some research on this process and its tmobile checking for things. I plan on keeping phone, but supposedly it will report back to tmobile about your device being rooted and void warranty. Regardless, i used titanium and froze it. the run away process is "com.tmobile.pr.adapt". My battery actually hasn't dropped in almost 2 hours but 1 % since freezing this application, and that's because of other applications i have going in the background. Hopefully this can help ya'll out too.

Do some research if you want on that process, before freezing it, but i've noticed no changes to anything else. Nor do i use the tmobile account app and such on my phone.

Yes, T-mobile likes to have all their branded devices phone home, including their ASUS router. I unplugged a T-mobile branded ASUS router for two weeks I had connected to my internal network and one day I received a text stating I was being charged a hundred and something bucks for it. I called TMO and they acknowledged not seeing it active so they billed me for it. I sent it back. I'm not surprised that the router phoned home, but no where in the documentation included with the router did it mention that the device would phone home nor did it mention what type of data the router would be including with each call to the mother ship. That really urked me.

It also urks me that I cannot uninstall the t-mobile app, or disable it. What if I wanted to switch carriers? My phone is paid for. How would I go about uninstalling the TMO stuff? blah!

I'm on the Verizon (VS990) variant.

I installed Greenify (as I always have) and was getting stupid battery drain. I noticed that I have an app called 'Restrict Idle Apps', which is a system app that I've never seen before. Hmm. Just for fun, I removed Greenify. I now get 1% or less per hour drain on idle. My guess is that LG made "their own version of greenify" and they were fighting it out, with my battery being the collateral damage.

Does anyone else have the 'Restrict Idle Apps' or is it unique to the VS990?

U can uninstall all the T-mobile bloat ware. Even the PR.adapt ect. I have on g4 and my v10. Don't uninstall the unlock app til 40 days after its been on the network then u can submit a temp unlock remove the app so it doesnt phone back to them that its a temp unlock and unlock your phone from the network without their help. Volte defense decreases battery life on all devices and wifi calling enabled will send all the same information that the my tmobile app does and is also how they are cracking down on people abusing the hotspot/teth feature
