No Deep Sleep? - Verizon LG V10

Trying to figure out why my battery life is relatively crappy (usually averaging >8% drain/hour under typical use), even when I'm not using the device.
Anyone on Marshmallow (Android 6.0) able to experience the 'Deep Sleep' processor state? I cannot, and I'm trying to determine if there's a particular app (or more) that's causing wakelocks, or if this is just something I need to live with. Without root, it's nearly impossible to tell what's causing wakelocks directly.
If it is an app, I can try to find it, but I really don't want to uninstall and then selectively re-install hundreds of apps only to find out that the device doesn't sleep anyway (if rooted, I could freeze all user apps and then slowly unfreeze, but that's not an option without root).
To be clear, I'm NOT talking about the Doze feature that comes with Android 6.0. I'm talking about the Deep Sleep processor state that is below the low (384Mhz) processor state.
On all my other previous devices, I've achieved this state - granted, most of these were rooted, and I had custom ROMS and custom governors. This device seems to use the Interactive Governor. Maybe that governor doesn't sleep at all?
Anyway, if one or more of you confirm that you're achieving this state, then I'll burn some more time on it, otherwise....
thanks!

I'm getting deep sleep. The battery drain could just be the phone itself. My battery life on the v10 is also pretty bad.

Thank you. Here's mine. Notice zero deep sleep in many, many hours. I feel like this is something that has changed.
Confirming - you're on Android 6?
I guess I'll (reluctantly) do a factory reset and add my apps back. Thanks.

Yes I am on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. I'm assuming your also on 6.0 also? Try check your wakelocks on your v10 and see if there is anything unusual.

Yes, Android 6. Unfortunately wake lock info is all but useless without root, unless the offender is really obvious.
I uninstalled almost 130 apps, and this far have reinstalled a little over half. The good news is that she's sleeping again. The bad news is that I'm still not sure which app was causing the issue.

A factory reset helped me out after the update

Be thankful you aren't me right now. I just rooted and put xposed on my phone and my battery is draining from 100% to dead in about 2hours 45minutes...with no screen on time. Granted I'm using wifi tether but still that isn't good, nor normal. When I'm using the phone it's dying at an extreme rate; Like phones from 4 and 5 years ago would. Battery usage says android system is causing most of the drain. Something is seriously wrong ><

That's just wrong. Did you change out the ROM for a custom one, or just root? You might want to try a full wipe and start over if you haven't already.
Truthfully, a couple months ago I debated not taking the MM upgrade so that I could root 5.1.x. - ostensibly to give me more control over battery-related information and activities. I took the upgrade, and - now that my device is sleeping again - I'm kinda glad I did - Android's getting better at controlling rogue apps and with other battery saving methods (e.g., Doze mode). I guess what I'm saying is that if you can't fix your massive drain issue, you could always unroot and take the upgrade ...

I got it sorted. Back to normal battery life.
I was actually on MM for a while but I had to get another phone because my old one started having some screen issues and the one they sent me had 5.1.1 on it so I decided to go ahead and not upgrade this time so I could root and have xposed. For now I'm sticking with 5.1.1 Now that I have everything setup I'm getting great battery life. I got over 4 hours of SOT time yesterday and today 6/6/2016 I got over 3 hours of SOT and 2 hours of tethering and about 10 hours overall before having to plug in.

Once I wiped after OTA my battery was WAY better.

I'm having a serious battery drain problem that i cannot figure out. I'm on mm 6.0 and the phone won't doze nor deep sleep. I did a factory reset several times and it's still eating battery in a ridiculous manner. Any help is appreciated.

Did you try it after the factory reset but before adding back your apps?
Got any screen shots to share (e.g., from a battery monitoring app)?

[Q] Battery Drains, Kernels and Modems

Hey guys. I've read and learned a lot from XDA, but there are some things I can't really understand or test by myself. So, I'm experiencing some trouble right now, and I need your help.
So, I've been testing roms since I bought my GS2. Almost 2 years later, my battery lasts 4 hours. I used to think the problem was the battery, so I bought a brand new one (sammy brand).
Well, it also lasts 4 hours, with CM10.1
So, I tried installing DorimanX kernel. The battery lasts longer now (not much)
I also searched a lot about Modems, and I read somewhere that changing modems would make the battery last longer. But I can't really understand why. Can someone help me? I'm really lost, I can't put everything together and understand this thing.
Please, help me answer some questions.
tl;dr
1- What is the best Modem out there? Can I install it using CM10.1, or is the modem bind to a ROM?
2- Why the battery won't last longer as the Android upgrades? My brother's GS3 (stock JB) saves much more battery than mine GS2.
3- What is the rom that saves most battery out there? As CM improves, the battery drains faster. Should I go back to stock? Does stock ROMs cosume less battery?
Thanks in advance.
(sorry about my poor english)

1. as far as i know using specific modem depends on the region & network. changing modem sometimes solves your problem, sometimes not. you need to try which suites.
2. install cpu spy, better battery stats and gsam battery monitor. check whether your device is going to deep sleep or not. if not see which app/process is consuming too much battery. 1- try callibrating the battery and then monitor it. 2-if that does not fix, enable aeroplane mode, then power off, power on after couple of seconds and disable aeroplane mode. monitor the battery. 3-if that does not fix check the battery stats log and post it in BBS thread so that some expert may analyze the log and provide you with feedback. make sure for each solution you give ample of time to monitor in order to narrow down the problem.
3. you need to try different ROMs one by one and use it for some time to know which suites your better on your need.

1. Modems are location dependant, so try to find the stock modem or one for the carrier you're with.
2. Battery depends on a lot of things. The apps you use, screen time, wake locks, signal strength, size of the battery, os version, how recently you flashed something, how many email accounts are syncing, apps that sync.. The list could go on forever.
3. As stated above, cpu spy to see if your device is deep sleeping and better battery stats to check the wake locks. If you flashed something recently give it at least 3 battery cycles before judging the battery life. You can also try to underclock your device if you are rooted and have a rom-kernel combination that allows it

There is an issue on JB that enables the media scanner nonstop. It has been draining battery like crazy. In some cases it drains 2% per MINUTE.
In my situation, I think that it's not my problem.
I'll check all your tips and give a feedback later.
Thank you very much!

I've got the results of the apps running
App usage -> 72% (50% is Kernel)
Cpu -> 48% 200 MHz and 39% on Deep Sleep
Partial Wakelocks -> NetworkLocationLocator (45min), etc
Kernel Wakelocks -> vbus_present (7h), PowerManagerService (3h), Multipdp (1h25min), etc
So, what are your suggestions? Should I downgrade to stock rom with siyah kernel?
Nowadays, I'm focusing battery. I want it to last a full day with moderate use. Today I didn't use the phone (at all) and it last 12h, with 20% remaining.

Done with Nougat

Was hoping that 7.1.2 was going to fix the battery issues. Alas Android OS remains #1 or #2 battery drain item even after the most recent update. Going back the Marshmallow. Google should study the hippocratic oath - first do no harm.
Just use pure Nexus. I get 4-5hrs SOT on LTE. I use whatsapp, snapchat, facebook, twitter. Just make sure you disable location services, else Google play services will eat up your battery fast
Does anyone else get like 5 hours SoT and good standby time as well even though Android OS is at the top of the list? I feel like sometimes this "issue" is massively over exaggerated...

If you haven't changed yet try not using Gmail , Chrome and google backup at setup since I started eliminating those three things my stats never show drain from Android and play services I know it might sound strange but trust me
Nougat calculates battery differently then MM. It's even better at measuring.
I have better battery on N then MM.
This is why I'm excited for android O, to see if they actually do what they're saying about stopping apps from being able to run rampant in the background. My iPhone will not even lose a single percent overnight while I'm sleeping. My 6p drops 10-15%. I'm getting pretty tired of having to manage my phone to be honest. For a smartphone, it isn't very smart.

There is something severely wrong with your setup. I lose 0.1% idle, overnight. 10-15% is way too much and I guarantee it's not the Android OS which is causing it. Something else which may be reported under Android OS in battery settings, but 15% is not normal lol. That's on your end 100%

So using a phone normally makes it my fault? Interesting. As I said, I don't want to manage my phone. I shouldn't have to worry about what rogue apps are draining my battery. It shouldn't be so inconsistent. If anything you're making my point for me, and placing the blame on a user for using the phone as a phone and not installing stuff like greenify and naptime, expecting them to micromanage what the os should be doing in the first place is both hilarious and sad.

Also, wakelock detector and better battery stats can't give me a clue what it is other than "Android os". I've been at this too long, since 2008, and really I'm just at my wits end. I want something I can use and let do its thing. I don't have time to be doing the work the os needs to do itself

You can argue about it all you want, but being a closed minded fanboy and refusing to even think about what I'm saying is going to harm Android if anything. They know it's a problem themselves

Android OS is 15% of my battery consumption. Google Play Services is another 15%. Android System is 12%, screen is 11%. This does not sound right any way you cut it. I have tried greenifying every app that I don't need to be updating in the background, there is little difference. I don't use Facebook and WhatsApp, but I do use Gmail and MailCal quite a bit. Not much SMS either.

I deleted them and wanted to run android without tweaking it. A lot of my reasoning was to see what it was like to just run it as is.
The point is, the average user does not root or tweak their phone. They expect it just to work. I can't count the number of times people at work have gotten me to help with their phones since it was draining in a few hours while not even being used. I'm glad they are trying to attack this issue, for most people, this is the downfall of android.
I have tried every kernel on here, and while I did get better battery life with greenify and other things installed, it seems like after this long it shouldn't even be necessary for the user to be occupied with that stuff. A phone is supposed to be a tool, you shouldn't need to disable settings, freeze apps, and everything else just to have it work how it should in the first place.
Honestly... it all depends on the user. I've read through the comments, and like you, people ask me for help with their phones as well. Majority of the people I'm surrounded by are always on their phones,max brightness,etc, so it's normal for their battery to drain as fast as it is. I'm at 20% battery right now, with 3h 30m SoT and I have 232 apps installed. I don't do battery tweaks, and I use the full package GApps package(Aroma) only not using Google Photos and all the other language keyboard related stuff. I'm a heavy texter and audiophile (V4Arise is installed).

Massive Battery drain and crazy wakelocks on H850 aka the insomniac phone

Hey everybody
So I've been losing 30%+ a night (6-7 hours) since I got my G5 (H850) a few weeks ago and it's really getting to me.
On stock Nougat my phone would just about get through the work day (barely being used, bit of twitter and some whatsapp) and after trawling the internet for answers found a lot of people complaining that LG's Nougat update had slaughtered their battery life. So I decided to root and install a custom ROM (RR 5.8.3) instead to see if that would fix the problem. I've been installing custom ROMs, rooting and fixing android issues etc since my first Galaxy S1 so was pretty confident I could fix whatever problem I found from the knowledge on these forums and elsewhere on the internet.
Turns out I was very, very wrong.
I've found out my phone is a total insomniac. It will NOT SLEEP. EVER. Light doze, sure. But not a good old fashioned kip. Literally always wide awake. Have a look at the wakelock detector screengrab - I've never seen anything like it on any phone. 94% awake with seemingly every app just doing as it pleases.
"Anx_wlock" seems to be the main culprit, but I can't find any info on it. I've tried changing kernel, done 2 or 3 factory resets with no success at improving it. Tried turning off location, turning off wifi. Nothing makes any difference. PowerManagerService.Wakelocks comes in a close second, and I've turned off NFC in RR's inbuilt wakelock blocker as I'd read that could be an issue in 7.x.
I have scoured the forums for any solution but now I either have to consult the collective hive mind or just accept ****ty battery life forever.
Luckily I have 2 batteries - but this drain just seems crazy and I would dearly love to fix it! Can any of you wonderful people help a brother out and help my phone get some much needed rest?
Any help or suggestions very much appreciated
Cheers

Can you go back to stock marshallow (maybe using lg flash tool?) or is antirollback preventing this? If xposed is out for nougat, you can try force doze, which should help with standby. Maybe flashing a custom kernel might help?

Thanks for the response! I've yet to try going back to Marshmallow (my H850 came with Nougat pre-installed) but will give that a go next. No xposed for Nougat yet, sadly, so no Amplify either to force doze. Although the phone seems to doze okay, it just doesn't sleep.
I installed Fulmics last night (having already tried SpeedyKernel on RR) and I still have exactly the same issue. 0 seconds deep sleep and my battery died overnight. 100% to off in under 8 hours while I slept. So the problem has now been consistent across 3 kernels.
Whatever this bastard "anx_wlock" is, it seems to carry across different kernel/rom flashes as it's there again in better battery stats at 100% wakelock. Any ideas how I can track down what this is? Doesn't seem to be related to any process and no info about it on the web.
As always any help appreciated!

Sorry, im not sure how to track it. Im assuming that when you flashed the custom rom, you cleared the data, system, and caches?
Same thing on my lg g5 ls992 unlocked. 80% battery drain in 10 hours while I was asleep. Got this phone a few days ago, this really disappoints me. According to betterbatterystats anx_wlock is draining it. Hoping for a solution...
i am also getting too low battery life in stock 7.0
Try this, it will solve your problem.
1) Remove your Google account
2) Wipe Play Services, Google, and Play Store data
3) If rooted, find an app which can clear cache and dalvik or use TWRP, if not then send ADB commands
4) Reboot
5) Add your Google account back again

Hi, yes - wiped everything as normal with every flash. Haven't had time to try and fix this with a rollback to stock MM yet. Looking increasingly like the last viable option, unless this wakelock blocker gets ported to the G5...
Did u freshly install your apps from the Playstore or did you restore them from a Backup? How does it behave with only the stock apps installed?
Ofc it doesnt make it easier being on a custom rom and kernel.

Hey there, cheers for getting involved!
From the moment I got it the batteries (I have 2) were both draining far faster than I expected. That was stock only for at least the first few hours (I had to drive home before I could set it up but had it switched on in the car), and I think it lost about 4-5% in the hour it took me to get back across London.
I got this phone to replace a Nexus 5x that took a swim. The battery life on that phone was nothing to write home about, but from reviews I'd read I expected far better from the G5. It's actually proving to be significantly worse. I should add that I never have 100s of apps installed. Bluemail, Whatsapp, Dark Sky, Amazon, eBay, Twitter, Player FM, Keep, Citymapper and Waze is pretty much it (and subsequently all the wakelock detectors and battery stats, but that's only been since I've noticed the problem). And none of these seem to be the reason for the wakelock.
When I first got the phone I couldn't restore from Google backup for some reason (didn't come up as an option) - so I installed everything fresh. Battery was bad then.
Full factory reset to unlock bootloader and install twrp, allowed backup to replace apps. Same problem.
Wiped System, Data, Caches & Installed RR - fresh installed apps (as I'd read this could be a problem). Same problem. Had a look in their onboard system wakelock blocker but couldn't find anything reference "anx_wlock".
Wiped System, Data, Caches & Installed Fulmics - fresh installed apps again. Same problem.
I'm absolutely stumped. I've also been tweeting at LG UK with better battery stats about this "anx_wlock" problem to see if it's a known issue to them. So far getting resoundingly ignored.
P.S. Yes Vulfpeck.

From your post I cant tell if you tried it 100% stock. I dont know citymapper but waze should be continuously scanning for location. If i was you, i would factory reset without installing any apps and see if the problem still persists (or maybe at least uninstalling waze and citymapper).
the bad battery after your first start after unboxing it doesnt count as the phone is building up caches and doing other stuff

Hmm, I really wouldn't try LG UK; I had a half hour debate with their customer service manager on why monthly security updates should be regular but they insisted nothing will come out... next month the update comes through.
I still think you should try just running barebones for a day; maybe allow for WhatsApp but do not install anything else. I have an issue with the G5 too with standby times but to a lesser extent (I have had 30% drops over 11hrs when the phone was on flight mode...).
Also, I'm assuming that they will known that you've unlocked your bootloader so you can't get your phone exchanged via LG?

I live in Ukraine, I took the phone to the repair service. They told me that the phone is not properly activated (using HiddenMenuCall) and because of that it is constantly trying to connect to Sprint servers to activate the device. Without unlocked bootloader it is impossible to do anything. That's their version. Maybe they are right about my device
lol, i have 2% battery drian when i sleep 8hours

How I solved my battery issues
I had massive and unusual battery drain issues like described in this thread. After much reading and detective work, I’ll describe my situation and what worked for me.
Bought unlocked LG G5 RS988 to replace my LG G4
The phone arrived with Android 6 installed. Immediately upgraded to the latest Android 7 security patch
Transferred my apps and settings over from my LG G4 to the G5 using LG Backup to wirelessly transfer between the 2 phones
After G5 was set up the battery life (in Doze while not using the phone) was great. It might drop 2 – 3% overnight on Wi-Fi
After a few days the battery would drop between 5-12% per hour while in doze. There were no rogue apps running in the background. The main culprit was Android OS and Phone Idle…
Rooted the phone and tried every battery saving setting I could find and used Greenify and CPU throttling as well. This resulted in no improvement.
I had a second RS988 I could test (long story). Followed the same steps as listed in 1-4 but again after a day or so the battery life would crap out.
Took the rooted phone and downgraded to Android 6. Reinstalled each app from the Google Play Store (did not use the LG backup as in #3 above). Made recommended battery settings changes in the Android OS and installed Greenify. Did not make any other changes (e.g. CPU throttling)
Now after 2 weeks overnight my battery drops between 1 – 3 % per night. This is the performance I expected.
In a nutshell – not using a LG backup file and installing everything fresh solved my battery issues.
I’m going to wait another week and then reinstall Android 7 to see if that makes a difference. I will update this post with my results.
Update
After a few weeks on Marshmallow software version RS98811d and getting good / expected battery life, I decided to upgrade to RS98821d (Android 7 with latest security update). The battery drain I originally described returned even after a complete wipe and reinstall of all my apps. Kept the configuration for about a week hoping for an improvement in battery life but there was none.
Went back to RS98811d and have no plans on upgrading to |Android 7 again with this phone. The smart lock suggestion in the post immediately below did nothing for me.

I'm having the exact same symptoms on the same device. Sadly no information is available online for this kernel wakelock. Will report back if I find any solution
I had / have this issue myself so i had to go back to my oneplus one again ubtil i fixed the drain.
My g5 just refused to go into deep sleep and didnt make a whole day even without touching the phone. Also tried stock rom no apps installed.
What i found out:
After removing my simcard the g5 is deep-sleeping again like it should. It wouldnt do that even when i went into airplane mode.
Maybe my simcard is defective... I'll try it with my wifes sim later and we'll see what happens
Gesendet von meinem LG-H850 mit Tapatalk
Thanks for all the posts everyone. Still no joy on solutions though!
Nchantment - I tried getting a new sim to no avail. Still the same crazy drain.
Just seen that xposed is now available for nougat - has anyone tried nixing anx_wlan with that? (I've never used xposed before but I gather you can get right inside your kernel/os in this way...)
Refuse to believe this is a hardware issue!

Extremely mediocre battery life?

Hey everyone,
The battery life on my S9+ seems extremely mediocre. After not even 2 hours of SOT I am left with less then 25% battery. Also, Google seems to be using the most battery.

Is this a recognizable and fixable problem or should I send it back?
Thanks for your help!
That could be due to not-so-optimized software.
My device is still stuck on the January update, so I'd guess that there will be an update soon.
Future updates might very well fix / improve the SoT, so it's basically down to: do you want to wait for updates or are you willing to use custom roms down the line?
If you answered "no" to both, then feel free to return it and get a different device.

You can pretty much be confident it'll be a software issue and nothing to do with hardware. There will be fixes and optimizations coming. Naturally the battery burns down a lot faster in the first few days.

I'm now on 2 percent after 2 hours and 10 minutes SOT. Surely this must be more than unoptimized software? My S8+ lasted way longer and software wise it seems the same.
For me it's decent, this is my first charge (s9+ duos)

@YoungStarDC
That's not normal at all. Do you use the Google app regularly? Perhaps for voice searches or something like that?
I'ts not supposed to drain anywhere near that much.
The March security patch OTA was released for some countries today, check for an update, and after installing it, I'd recommend a factory reset and then start from scratch.

I don’t use the Google App at all I think. I do have Google Assisant and “OK Google” on, but surely that cannot be the cause? I haven’t used it once today.
I’m letting it charge back to 100% after which I will see if there’s an update. If it’s the same thing tommorow, i should probably return it, right?

No, don't return it just yet. This isn't a hardware problem.
Check if there's an update for the Google app, if not, here is the latest stable APK for it:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...le-app-7-22-24-21-arm64-android-apk-download/
Once you install this. Clear cache and data for the app, reboot your phone. Charge it fully to 100% and then go about your day and see if the battery life changes.
If it doesn't, give it one last shot by doing a factory reset (and/or updating to the March patch), and then observing battery drain.
If all that fails, then yeah sure, return it.
You have some weird thing going on
As you can see the battery is great it might be that its downloading all of your email attachments you should disable downloading email attachments via wifi on your gmail account. Reset phone and dont install it see how it goes first

I installed the latest Google app using the link you provided and cleared the cache and data. There weren't any software updates available yet, however.
I do have a suspicion. Normally I always set my phone up from scratch but this time I used Samsung Smart Switch to quickly move things over from my S8+. I've got a feeling that this may be the cause but I'm not sure. I'll see how it goes first before I reset my phone.

Mine still going strong; January 1 security patch.
But this is with wifi and indoor use, LTE and day light will be another story... And almost no real standby today.

Betterbatterystats
It can take at least several charge/discharge cycles for the metrics related to discharge levels to home in an a reasonably accurate curve, and this also depends on your particular app usage pattern. For now, as the HGTTU says: "Don't Panic!"

bad battery life

i've countlessly reset my phone, even tried a custom rom (lineage) and still, my phone is draining and heating up like crazy. if anyone could help, i'd be grateful.

What variant do you have?
Since battery on the V30 series on stock firmware is excellent, it sounds like you have a rogue app. There's been a spate of apps that got into Google store which have ad malware running in the background. The draining and heating up like crazy sound exactly like what others who had installed those apps complained about. You need to investigate if you have any of those apps, and uninstall them. Look in battery app usage, see if any thing stands out.
Besides that, even for normal apps, you can also Greenify all which do not need background permission (which do not need to be running when you are not using them). When you click to use them, they will open, and when you close them they will go back into hibernation. I don't want my calculator app running in the background when I'm not using it. Obviously you would not use that on email, weather widgets, etc.
Last, you can always use LGUP Refurbish mode to rebuild your stock firmware. You will have to unlock bootloader and root again, but you'll have a new foundation again.
If you want to find out which app is draining your battery, there is only one app I'm aware of that can help you: Wakelock Detector Lite.
Download, follow the instructions.
sorry, i had added some screenshots from gsam but idk why they weren't posted as well.
so in the midtime i've tried another 2 custom roms, havoc os and dot os, and they were better with the battery, but not great, and had performance issues like stuttering while scrolling or lag in animations, so i decided to go back to stock hoping battery would be better. turns out it wasn't the case, i'm still getting something like 5h sot (which is quite bad for me), but at least it isn't heating up anymore, just a bit warm to the touch. it's draining in standby also, and system os and kernel (and also google play and services)
here are some screenshots:
https://ibb.co/4VGbKzd
https://ibb.co/gw5HXrN
i have to mention that i'm also rooted with magisk, but all i'm using is ainur sauron and jamesdsp (audio mods), and i can confirm that they are not the cause
will try using wakelock detector as well and post screenshots later, as i cannot at the moment
thanks for responding though, thought this tread would go by without anyone answering
edit: i've also reinstalled a lot of times using lg up refurbish, and it's still did the same. this time i did it with twrp
also, i'm on h930

Those audio mods are garbage. They disable the quad dac.
Now for the lag and battery drain that you experience. Did you flash rtcd and verify?

I don't know about you, but these mods do not disable the quad dac whatsoever. Actually, sauron activates high impendance mode, giving me flawless volume (my headphones are low imp but still aren't fully driven by the normal audio)
Anyways, i will try flashing rtcd and see what happens. Will post an answer afterwards.

I don't know about you, but these mods do not disable the quad dac whatsoever. Actually, sauron activates high impendance mode, giving me flawless volume (my headphones are low imp but still aren't fully driven by the normal audio)

It's not real HIM. Also it does disable the quad dac. Not going to debate it when the Dev even said it.
Need to flash rtcd due to the logs it creates while being rooted.

make it stock, make sure you don't install any mods or unusual apps then compare.
if you still got bad battery life or overheating, perhaps the faulty one is your phone itself

He never flashed RTCD. So that's the main problem.

Why didn't he? It's clearly in the bootloader unlock and root Instructions.
Every time you flash stock KDZ you have to fully re-root. The only exception is when installing TWRP-flashable zip, which already has that removed.
(Just read where he says most recent time he used TWRP flashable zip.)

I think that rctd is quite obsolete for detecting magisk/systemless root. Rctd is on default state in my H932, it will report my device as official (via LGMENU), and no logs/traces that proof rctd is active behind the 'scenes' (via "ps | grep rctd" in terminal). I don't notice any difference with or without rctd enabled, and I believe, LG won't update its rctd algorithm anytime soon (perhaps you're already know why )

Actually, i did try RTCD Disabler, but it didn't make a difference whatsoever, it even told me, before flashing, that no activity was found. Also, the twrp zip that i had flashed had daemon removed. Maybe i'm not getting the right version or something? I got it from XDA Labs.
What i could say is that i flashed a older kdz, 21o, and it worked fine, but after updating to 22j it just ****ed up. Maybe that could be the cause? (i didn't install anything btw, just ran it full stock)
Also, sorry for being a noob, i'm kinda new here.

Im using Havoc OS earlier also have battery problem, but follow suggestion to install 4.4.169_orion_II_WIP3-perf-1555775897
resolve my battery problem, I also restricted background process for vance you tube since got notification that programme drain phone battery.
(Go to app info > battery > Background restriction)
Please refer my battery usage attached, I'm not set battery saver on my phone.
i finally did fix the issue, i don't know what it was but anyways, battery is very strong now, at least when i'm actively using the phone. it could get me to 8+ hours of use, but another problem now seems to be standby drain, which kills my battery way too quickly than it should. i usually lose 1-2% per hour, or even more, and it gets even worse when i'm in motion. like, let's say i'm outside right now, hanging out with some friends. i open up the phone for few secs, close it, open it again after 15 mins and i lose a percentage. i was even running naptime so i don't know what could be wrong.

That's 25 hours standby time. You're phone is fine.

yeah, you're right. maybe i'm just too nitpicky about the phone, it may have to do with the knock on as touch screen is always on and stuff like that, but i love that feature so i won't turn it off. anyways, it'd be cool to find a way to reduce the idle drain, as it's bigger than on most other phones.

Every phone I've owned, you can never rely on the reviewed standby time. I've had some junkers in the past (mostly time reduced by poorly made custom ROMs), but I'm on stock with this V30+. Best battery life I've ever had by far.

So SRTC
com.tmobile.pr.adapt
Also flash RTC and no verity

Edit, no need for com.tmobile.pr.adapt since you don't have an H932. But SRTC does drain a bit in stand by. It sends info to LG as I understand it.

thanks for the tip. i disabled srtc with lg package disabler, but i don't quite understand the rtc no verity thingy. also, i think i found out what could be actually draining the battery in standby for good, and that has to be the sensors. i don't know how or why, but when i activated the mode which disables all motion sensors on the naptime app, my phone discharged really slowly in idle. however, i could not keep it like this because it was buggy and my phone would take 5 seconds to wake up, and touch didn't even work, only the power button. maybe if there was some way to stop the phone's sensors in idle, like the motion sensor or the accelerometer, or whatever is draining the battery.
