Battery Readings Are Off the Charts. Literally. Is there a fix? - AT&T LG Optimus G

I don't mind it if it's off by a couple percentage, but to be way off like this is just stupid. It rushes down to the low battery warning, then it stays there for the longest time. Today, it said there was 2% left for roughly 3 hours. How do I know? I was playing a game till around 4:45pm when it said 2% battery life remaining. Then, see the screenshots.
During this time where it said my battery life was at 2%, I did nothing but text. I must have sent and received around 100 text messages or notification ringtones.

battery stats. did you just flash a rom?
if so, give it a few days. let it discharge, charge it back fully. problem solved.

I've had this ROM for 3 weeks. Since October 18 or so to be exact. It happens on every single day.

unsure it's gonna help, but try wiping battery stats. You should be able to find an app on play for that.

It supposedly gets wiped every time you charge the battery to 100%... But I guess I'll get it another try.

Inaccurate battery readings?

Can anyone think of why my battery consistently, every time it gets low, jumps from 24 to 14%? Never 23 to 14% or 24 to 13%, but always 24 to 14%. And it always jumps. It never goes 24 to 23 to 22, but 24 to 14. Every damn time.

Ugh to the above posters. Battery stats are not used for reporting battery percent. Calibrating the battery is also BS.
Do you have a 1% battery icon? Most 15% battery icons jump like that. Have you tried battery monitor or something similar to track your actual charge over time?
To check if it's just an icon problem ... you can pull your framework-res.apk(/system/framework/framework-res.apk) and unzip it. Look in res/drawable-hdpi and/or drawable-xhdpi. There are a series of files stat_sys_batteryXX.png where XX is a number. Do you have anything in between 24 and 14?

It's not about the battery icon, I don't think. I use battery monitor, and I waited until I had 5 instances of this happening in battery monitor (I can post the logs) before posting this thread. It happens every time in both the icon and battery monitor.

Google Services battery drain

Just wanted to see if anyone else has noticed that Google services is causing a substantial drain on their device? For me its using more than my screen (2-3 hours screen on). I've noticed it on the stock deodexed and CleanROM (both clean installs)
Heard updating the Play Store helps, but I'm already on v4.1.10
Thanks

I have the exact same thing on CleanROM as well. I would get about 2 hours and 10 minutes or so of total screen on time, yet Google Services would be sitting up around 65% of total battery usage. I would get idle drain that was terrible. I switched the Hyperdrive this afternoon because of that. I don't know what was causing it but it was absolutely a nightmare. I could watch my battery drop about 20% in an hour which is unacceptable.
Hopefully someone else can chime in on this and to why it's happening. It was only five packages that the system reported as being part of the Google Services as well but I don't remember what they are at this point.
update your google play to 4.1.10 http://phandroid.com/2013/05/29/google-play-store-4-1-10-update-download/
I thought there were other threads about this, but I'm not finding them where I thought. Anyway, make sure your Play Store version is 4.1.10. If it isn't, install that version. Version 4.1.6 has a location bug that consumes more battery than it should - not a lot, but more than necessary. You can find the Play Store version at the bottom of the Settings menu in the app.
Edit: damn chrismyu beat me to it.
OP specifically stated he was on 4.1.10 already. I am also on 4.1.10 but it isn't helping.

Seriously? Read more than the first sentence of the original post before replying.
OP, the screen on-time is useless without knowing total on-battery time. If the screen on-time is 2 hours and Google Services used the same amount of battery but the device on-time was 30+ hours...that would be acceptable.
The way the phone reports battery usage is quite odd. I've experienced this Google Services bug a couple times. But now, its near the bottom of the list, whereas this morning it was at the top of the list and had drained 10% in two hours with almost no usage at all. Gsam reports the same results as the OS when checked.

When it happened to me, I was losing roughly 20% an hour with MAYBE 10 minutes screen-on time in that hour. It curved off here and there, but I would lose an insane amount extremely fast. Ten minutes should net me maybe 3-5% loss on medium brightness. However, I was losing the other 15% simply from it idling in my pocket.

I've used GSAM as well to try and figure out some wake locks, as well as using BetterBatteryStats, and I can't seem to narrow it down.

Are these statistics starting from a full battery? Or a partial charge?
The reason I ask is that if it was a partial charge (like it was at 30-40% and you charged it up to 80% and then it was dropping quick) that might not be an accurate read either. It might not have ever been at 80% charge when you unplugged it, and then the meter is just catching up.
20% in 10 minutes is completely impossible to actually do. You could be streaming at full speed and playing the hardest-rendering game on the play store and still get like 3+ hours of battery (which would equate to like 5% every 10 minutes).
Assuming your memory is correct on the figures, there must have been something wrong with the metering of the battery. It's just not possible to burn through that much juice that quickly.

Didn't see your post before I replied a few minutes ago. I charge my phone nightly. I took it off the charger at 545 AM, and by the time I reached work at 7 I had reached 90% battery. Reported under three minutes of screen time but over ten minutes of awake time under Google Services and several minutes of GPS time.
Is it doing something when I am driving? It doesn't happen every day though... My maps app has location reporting off, history is checked, but I haven't had issues with keeping it on before.

I may have mis-typed that, or maybe you misunderstood what I was saying. I mean that in an hour time, with 10 minutes of reported screen-on time, the battery was down 20%. I woke up this morning from having my phone on the charger all night, responded to a few text messages as well as checked my email. That took up about 10 minutes of screen time. Throw my phone in my pocket and head off to work. Look at it again about an hour later and I'm sitting at 81% left on my charge.
I looked at my battery usage at that point, and it showed Google Services sitting at 85% usage, above screen usage as 7 or 8%. So within an hour of being off the charger I had dropped 19%, and only 10 minutes of screen-on time had occurred. The rest of the drain came from Google Services.

Coincidentally you only read the first sentence of my reply too lol the second paragraph of the reply he quoted was asking for the total device on-time and such, so he was right to quote it and reply to it.
OP...your case might be alright. 10% in 1:15 with 10 minutes of screen on-time isn't great...but it's not super abnormal. There's the possibility that the drive involves a few places where the phone is searching for a good signal, or constant wifi spots along the route, or even something to do with bluetooth. I wake up at 7:30 every morning and get out of bed around 8:30.I spend that hour checking email and reading the news (on my phone). At the end of the hour I'm generally hovering just over 90% battery, and that's with constant screen on and WiFi use.
That being said, chrisjm: yours is definitely bad. The phone literally shouldn't be able to burn through 20% battery in an hour unless you're actively playing an online game at full brightness and volume. That's extremely excessive. In your case, there might be something wrong with either the phone or Google Services. It could be an app that's running on the system that's just being reported as Google Services (like a sync, or even a Samsung integration app). Narrowing it down though would be tough.

Yes, and for that...we thank you!
I just started noticing a giant drain due to Google Services. I'm stock/unrooted, and using a 5800mAh extended battery. Until two days ago, I was easily getting a full-day's heavy use with 40-60% still remaining after ~15 hrs, with no supplemental charge during the day.
Monday and Tuesday, battery was down to <20% after ~8 hrs. Today, it got down to ~50% after 5 hrs, and I put it on the charger.
I figure the drain is probably due to an app that I've installed, but it's a new phone and I've been installing apps like crazy, and nothing else in the Battery Usage list really jumps out. Right now, I've got my eye on Waze, since I figure it might be a big Google Services user. Also had installed the Facebook app around the same time. Just uninstalled both; will see if that changes anything. Will report back here if I can identify the culprit app.
A brief followup to my previous post:
Yesterday, battery was still draining quickly and biggest hog by far was Google Services, After deleting Waze and Facebook, battery drain is back to normal (after 6 hrs of typical use, extended battery is still ~75% charged), and Google Services is 3rd biggest battery user, way behind Screen and comfortably behind Maps. I really think it was at least one of those guys doing my battery in...maybe both.
I may not be motivated enough to reinstall Waze and Facebook to see which is the main culprit, but for others wondering about battery consumption, you might try paying some attention to those two guys.

Worse battery on Official Pie

I'm on pie and haven't noticed any battery issues so far.
But i did factory reset my phone before I upgraded to pie.
So if your experiencing battery issues you'll might want to factory reset your phone. Backup first though!
Or you have a bad app draining your battery.
I am also on official Pie and it does seem like my battery life might be a little worse than it was on beta 1. My battery life was outstanding on beta 1, where I did a "dirty flash" from Oreo. Doing a factory reset before flashing official Pie, it does seem a little bit worse, but still well within in the realm of being manageable.

Mine is SM-N950F so we got the official pie sometime in Feb/March.
I just put a new battery in mine as I always do around the 2 year mark. Previous to the pie update my battery would last 10hrs easy. Now it's pretty ****, I find myself recharging the phone at lunchtime.
But otherwise everything else is smooth and fast.

I am in the same boat as the battery is performing poorly in recent times. I have two questions for you
1. Where did you buy your battery from? I don't trust Amazon ones, I don't think they're reliable enough and are mostly fakes.
2. How did you install the battery since Note 8 doesn't have removable back panel? You took it to a service center?
Thanks,

First time ever that I didn't do it myself, I just put it in to have a new screen, frame and battery, charge port replaced so it's like a new phone again.
I normally do it all myself and just buy a decent or own Samsung battery but I didn't have the time.

Also, I use it with my gear watch so bluetooth and 4g is running the whole time and I'm getting half the battery life I was with oreo with the same setup. I personally think the adaptive battery is garbage doing nothing just an smoke and mirrors.
Having it on medium power save it says gives extra battery life but actually timing it..... It doesn't.

FWIW after performing the latest update this week, I noticed yesterday that my battery performance seemed improved. Obviously it's early days, but perhaps something has changed in the April releases that has improved battery consumption?
I only just received the March security update so ok, looking forward to a change
I'm in the US on Verizon. My battery life has decreased, but not in a significant way that makes me feel that something is really, really wrong. For what it's worth, I never did a factory reset.

[Q] GPS fix and ridiculously huge battery drain on GTR 47MM

It's been almost a week I changed my Verge with a brand new 47mm Amazfit GTR.
I was so happy to have something with long lasting battery like a Bip (which I still have), but more elegant than it or a Verge.
But now comes the problems, the battery consumption is 20% per day and I can't fix the GPS.
Now someone told it's because the AGPS in the SmartWatch is stuck and I should force updating the AGPS from the phone.
Honestly I don't know, but I'm really disappointed.
Can you guys help me?
Have you tried resetting? When I set mine up it was stuck missing and update of one if the libs and the app wouldn't resume the update.
Try factory reset

Amazfit GTR 47mm battery drain
Hi, I received Amazfit GTR week ago and since then I noticed extremely short battery life. I'm not using any gps, just notifications and battery last barely 5 days losing about 20% per day. Also I tried shutting down the watch with around 70% of battery and after 24 hours I tried to switch it on and the battery was completely empty! I tried factory reset, didn't help. I really like the watch but this is not ok since manufacturer stated battery life up to 24 days. Could it be ROM or battery damage?
Same with me. Losing more than 10 percent a day (24h) without GPS, heart rate, notifications. Reset didn't help. Hopefully just a Firmware issue.
The last 24h even needed 24 percent of battery...

I'm more and more convinced that the battery is damaged or some other hardware problem related to battery.
If the battery drains fast after a couple of factory resets and full charges (let the watch charging for about 45min more after it shows 100%) using default the configuration, then probably it is damaged. I would claim warranty ASAP...
Amazfit Support told me to make a Support Ticket in the amazfit app, so they get the watch log. And Also i should claim warranty. They said if you turn off Bluetooth, use the Stock watch face and activate do not disturbe the Power consumption should He around 2 percent in 24h (starting with 100 percent).
Mine lost so far 4 percent in only 8h.
I raised ticket to gearbest for replacement or refund since battery life was horrible, 30% in 12h usage, notifications on only! Today they offered me a free exchange or full refund. I chose free exchange of watch.
I also had problems with battery drain. I tested it with a charge meter, so can tell a full charge would put about 400mah in the battery.
I did it between a couple of factory resets...
The problem is it's discharing about 15-20% per 24h with no use, just time and some notifications. In nitght it's loosing 6% resting unused, with saver mode.
I think it's not a hardware problem but a firmware problem (for global model users) because I don't think such a lot of watches could be shipped broken...
Hope Huami realease and update in a couple of days or I will also have to return mine.....

I doubt it's a firmware issue since battery draining happens even when the watch is powered off. I lost 70% battery in 24h with watch completely powered off! Returned to gearbest yesterday and waiting for free replacement.
Best regards.

I haven't noticed that....I will test it tonight. It could be a hardware fault then.
In the other hand, I had similar problems with a Tablet (not Xiaomi); with 2 identical tablets, with different roms, one drains battery when powered off and the other don't. So, in some devices, the "power off" function is relative, it could be a firmware failure at the end, maybe not disabling some hardware, like the GPS module.
Please told us if you get similar draining when you got new one.

Yeah, could be. I found thread on reddit with same problems, people complaining battery not lasting as intended. On the other hand, others reported excellent battery life with global same firmware.
We'll see after receiving new one.
Best regards.

Can you share serial number of your watch? It's on the back side of the watch.

Mine is 19021929013867.
I have only HR ON continuous and sleep
Bluetooth and everything else off.
I run 2-3 times a week for 30'.
After 9 days had to charge it.

Terrible battery life?

My battery life is pretty terrible at the moment, I also had to turn a setting off in the battery options to get it to charge above 75%. Anyone having battery problems? I am thinking the battery might need a good calibration.
Mine been good lasted a while day

Mine seems fine as well. Ran all day yesterday under heavy usage, and was at 40% at 2am when i went to sleep. So far I've been running all day today under moderate usage, and am at 77% (~11pm)
seems pretty good so far, if you use the dual screen you will see decreased battery life..been two days since I got it and it is still in the "analyzing usage" mode for determining battery life. but a normal days of Microsoft teams chats since we are working remote, and moderate use of the mail and web browser with some (15%) dual screen usage was only down to 65% at the end of the day yesterday. Probably will take a week while is adjusts itself and we can see true battery life. Have not seen any way of getting an additional dongle for the dual case charging, just one is supplied in the dual screen box..
Well, it isn't like there is some foolish electron sucking device (like a 120 Hz screen) in it.

Did you set up the phone from scratch or use some switch app like lg switch? I had to reset mine to fix app instability and battery issues due to the restore.

I got around 9 screen time on yesterday full charged.

I'm getting pretty great battery life. I have been pleasantly surprised.

How is the total usage 16h 29m with over 6brs SOT, but the phone was idle for 16h 30m? Does the idle just refer to radios?

I think it means that it's 16h 29m from the last time it was plugged in

If that's the case, that means the phone was partially charged during a 23h period, meaning these are not accurate battery statistics. No biggie, I'm just trying to get an accurate idea of how long the battery lasts

It wasn't. That was off of the first overnight charge after getting the phone. I was at work the whole day and didn't put it back on the charger until I went to bed last night. I'm getting similar results today.

I'm not sure why it reports idle time as the same as the usage time
---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
It shows the same today

K thanks. I must not be interpreting that stats correctly. I think the 16h 30m idle must be referring to the LTE radio. Otherwise the numbers don't add up. Were you on WiFi this whole time? I know I am since we are locked down ?

I am assuming the same thing. I'm also just amazed by the battery life because I've been using Galaxy phones for the last few years and I have always had terrible battery life. It seems that the reporting in this phone is rather vague as well. I'm going to use a different app to track usage

It was mostly wifi, but with some spats of LTE

I'm pretty sure this will be my next phone. I just might be a few weeks, since everything is kinda crazy right now. My last LG was my V20 which I loved

My phone idle stat nearly matches the time since a full 100% charge was completed. Bad name for the stat if you ask me.

OK that makes me wonder. I used the app to reinstall everything, and I'm getting pretty sucky battery life.
If I reinstall from scratch, is there a way to restore settings, emails, and messages from my previous phone?
I'm getting awesome battery
I just pulled some awesome battery life! I've never seen it this good in my life. 1080p screen you are just fine for me. I don't miss my 1plus 7tpro McLean at all.
