So I just bought a G5, updated to oreo yesterday. I used it for one day with nougat, it seemed to charge very quickly on my Aukey Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 charger, along with some nice usb c cables I have. I also have a nextbit robin, checked Ampere on the Robin and I see 2300ma of charging current. On another generic 5v2a charger, the robin sees 1600ma current.
On either charger, my G5 is topping out at 970ma. Ampere lists the Qualcom Quick Charger as "turbo" speed, and I get a 'fast-charging" notification. But it is definitely taking a lot longer to charge than it should. I tried restarting the phone to no avail.
I guess I should have stayed on nougat, **** me for expecting them to quality control software updates.
It took an hour to go from 5% to 50%, which is definitely not fast charging, as can already be determined from Amperes current reading.
"The LG G5 supports the latest Quick Charge 3.0 standard, but there seems to be a bit of confusion about how it works. It's designed to charge your phone quickly, taking it from 0 up to 80 percent in around 30 or 35 minutes.
I've had my G5 for about six months. The fast-charging worked fine, I downloaded the update yesterday and it's still seems to charge up just as fast as it used to. But my battery life has gone down dramatically even after going through all the new settings and features and optimizing everything. Also my mobile hotspot no longer works. I knew I should have waited but I just couldn't help myself.
What build number are you on at Oreo?

I seem to be getting 2-3hours of SOT over the course of a day. Standby drain is fine, it just sucks the battery down when in use for web browsing.
Yesterday the phone seemed to start charging faster again. Ampere still shows only 500-900ma charging rate, but the time estimate to complete charge is now in line with full fast charging.
I didn't run nougat long enough to get an idea of how the battery was before unfortunately.
I also had an incident yesterday where my battery was at 50%, shut down the phone and removed the batttery, upon reinsertion and booting up the phone it dropped to 2% and the phone shut down immediately. wtfbbq
Cant find an OEM battery anywhere, all chinese fakes. LG is sold out for direct purchases, of course. Phones are built to be thrown away these days, such a shame. Was looking at some batteries on amazon and it looks like a crapshoot. At least 20-30% of reviews state that after a few weeks/months the batteries either fail or start holding less charge than the old OEM battery they replaced. Even saw some amazon reviews with pics of exploded batteries that destroyed the G5.

Try using foxfi for hotspot, if the built-in one doesnt work anymore. It costs a couple bucks but its worth it for the USB tethering function. Saves a heck of a lot of battery life vs wifi or bluetooth.
Mine has never been that fast to charge, even with certified QC3 chargers and cables....its not anywhere close to the time they say it does....that is with nougat and oreo, charging speed is about the same for me

Okay, I have seen a lot of people having issues with their battery life. This is a couple things that I have discovered and this has been checked with 2 other A7's.
First is wipe your Cache Partition. If you haven't done this. Please do as it helps drastically.
Second, some say it take 2-5 charging cycles to straighten out. As I charge my phone every night because I use mine phone a lot. 2-5 charging cycles is not it. I prefer 2-5 days of use and charging. This is for any device I have ever had. This also includes the tank of all phones, the Nokia 5160.
Third is Dolby. Yes it is nice. 4 Day test -20% battery over 7 hours of use average. This is why I don't use it unless I am in the car plugged into the car charger or wall charger. This is only true when using Dolby. Battery drain from stock music app with Dolby off to Poweramp (what I use) appear to be the same me.
Forth is SYNC. I don't know how many people use it but I saw between 10%-25% battery drop over 16 hours with it on. The reason for the swing is Cell Data vs WiFi. Wifi uses more because it updates more. The update frequency seems to be every 15 mins on WiFi vs ever hour on Cell Data. This battery drop was not seen by me in MM. I grabbed one of my other phones that is on Nougat and it has the same issue. So that is not a phone issues. That is a Nougat issues.
Fifth, now this one caught me a little weird. The power saver that everyone hates it seems like. Turn your power saver to Performance. Run it like that for 2-6 hours. If yours worked like mine. You will see no change in battery life during this time. Then switch it back to Smart power-save. And now watch your battery life increase. This one I cannot confirm on MM. But my battery increased by 25% by doing this.
Sixth and this one is important, Clear All Apps. Yes they load slower when you clear them out. But apps like Snapchat, Facebook, basically any social media, camera, are going to eat battery. This is known by many but often forgotten. I forget to clear all still. See if it helps you.
Seven, ZTE Locker, It is fun to play with but will drain fast the moment you get on WiFi. It will look for all the lockscreen wallpapers.
Now these are what I found out with the way that I use my A7. I know everyone uses their phone differently. What I call "All Day Battery Life" is 6 am to 10 pm. During this stretch of time I could be using my phone up to 13 hours of that. Very few phones can last on a single charge the way I use my phone. A7 is one that beats out the rest. My battery life went from 13% at 10pm to 39% at 10 pm. And it continues to get better everyday. Also this my be a joke but it worked for a Moto G4 and at OP3T. If you have a day where your battery just seems to fall fast. I mean like you are not going to get 6 hours out of it. Find a 5v 2 amp charger and plug in for like 10 mins. Battery fall goes away. It cannot be the factory quick charger either. I hope this little bit helps some of you guys out.
Thanks for this info!
Just an observation I've noticed since having this phone for almost 6 months.
When I use my older Samsung charger (slow charge), my battery seems to die off quicker. If I charge with the stock charger, the battery seems to last longer.
Right now I have not noticed it dying off faster. But I will keep an eye out for it. So far I have not had any fast drain battery days with mine A7 yet. I use the term "yet" because it is going to happen. I have not own a phone that has never had it. Just glad I can help.

I saw this drain you are talking on my Nokia, Blu, and Samsung 1 amp chargers. I have not seen it yet on my Asus or Samsung 2 amp chargers. It is really noticable on the Blu charger. I am going to put my chargers on a test rig this weekend and see if the amp draw to the phone is causing a voltage drop in the charger and cause them to not charge right.
We should not have these issues these days. My Sony Z3 has no issues doing 1.5 days without using battery saver. My Windows 640xl will go 2 days no problem. I don't understand why manufactures can't figure out battery life. I love the Axon7 but its the thirstiest phone I have ever owned.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give them a try.

I can't speak for Sony as the last one I owned was the Experia Play. I had the Lumia 640 XL though. I never got over 20 hours on a single charge. Battery Life is also tied to how a user uses the phone. My father gets 3 days on his OP3T. He also doesn't use it as much as I do. When I only use my Axon for calls and sms. I get 6 days on a charge. But for me that is not real world life. As a thirsty phone, I just don't see it with mine. The other two guys here that have one as well. They get 2 and 3 days on a charge. I know some people are having battery issues. Some are having charging issues with slow chargers. I saw it happen with a few of my slow chargers as well. I hope that my suggestions work out for you. I have been looking at other things to try to see if they help. That is the beauty of having two more Axon's in the area. Right now I have a non-battery annoying issue that I am trying to work through.
I am also updating the OP for another that I found. ZTE Locker.
Hello G6'ing Canadians!
I noticed the only thread on here relating to Canadian models of the LG G6 on here was specifically for Rogers, so I thought I'd start a more general thread for us.
I'm really liking my (Koodo) LG G6 so far. The screen and size of the phone are amazing, the camera is the top-notch quality I expect, and the battery life has been better than my G5 or G4 before this one... That is until today. I'm running the software version H87310d and just got an OTA update. I noticed that my battery was draining quickly after the update, so I cleared my cache and reset, but it still seems to be draining quickly even when it's just sitting on my desk.
I know this was an issue for some others at launch, but mine has been fine until today. I'll have to see what it's like tomorrow after a full charge, but still a little worried.
Anyone else experiencing this?
What do you guys think of LG's latest?
I just switched to the G6 after returning TWO defective S8+. I like it so far. Camera is a little slow for my liking though.
*Edit* Oh look, just getting an update. V10d.

My battery has been far better since the update. I swear the camera quality has gone up also.
Hi guys, I also have a Koodo Black G6 and got the H87310d update yesterday as well... haven't tested it enough to say it's made a difference yet. So far battery life has been decent, although it seems to slowly be using more and more battery (I'm assuming degradation of the battery capacity, eventually will settle)
What exactly did the update have? this is the only thread so far that I could find on it, so I joined up XDA finally.
The only gripe I have is with wireless charger... it's just do damn slow! I think it's about 2% for 10 minutes of charge. I'm using a Samsung Fast Charge base with the LG fast charger that came with the phone. I tried a Samsung charger from the wife's S5 and was even slower.
I noticed various reports on the wireless charge, some people get fast charge with non-major branded chargers, others get better results than I do with the same charger, etc...

I read somewhere that the update adds "safety features" like your phone telling you if the charging port is wet, but I'm not certain that was for this particular update or not. So, who really knows? At least they're supporting the handset so far.
Regarding wireless charging, mine is super slow, but better than that. I'm using an Aukey wireless pad (not fast charging) and it does about 1% every three minutes. Perhaps their Fast Charging version will work better. I didn't get it because you need to use a fast charging base for it to work and I'm using all of mine already.
I'm going to pickup an Insignia Qi Fast charger at Bestbuy (last day of sale today at $19.99) and see how this works, I don't know if it's maybe the Samsung Qi Pad not supporting Fast charge 3.0 on the LG charger maybe that's causing the slow charging issue... will try and find a Samsung fast charge 2.0 adapter and hook it up to the wireless base and see if that improves the speed.
Seems like my issue was with the Samsung base... I bought the Insignia Qi wireless base, popped it up overnight with the LG Fast charger attached rather than the one that comes with it, and when I was up at 5am the phone was already at 100%.
With the Samsung base I would be lucky to hit 80% with or without a case.
So far I've been loving this phone. I had the G2 and Nexus 5 and the G2 was one of my favorite phones I've owned. The G6 is a fantastic device, fast, and the battery lasts pretty long even with the screen on and gaming. My last few devices have been Nexus phones, and coming from the 6P the main thing i hate about the G6 is the lack of root. I've been so used to getting a new phone, going home and rooting it before doing adding my accounts and apps onto it. I was at the store and i saw they had an amazing deal on the G6, so i did a very quick google search for LG G6 Root, and i saw a few threads about it. I thought NICE! they have root for it already so i pulled the trigger. Got home...and read through the threads to realize they didn't lol. Still like the phone and i'll keep it for a few months and if no root comes out i'll give it to the wife and maybe grab a Pixel 2 when they launch. Overall though if you don't need root, this phone is great!
Yup, just picked up a G6 the other day. It's nice.
The software lacks a few features, and I have to retrain myself to handle it since I was so used to my previous phone and had it all set up just right.
The battery life seems ok, nothing special, but still early days.
I'm also hoping for root, not particularly for custom roms (which would be nice) but mostly to delete some bloat, and maybe customizing the nav bar. On that note:
Can we customize the navbar? Making it a bit smaller would be nice, but particularly changing the icons or something.
And is there a soft lock screen solution that works? Regular solutions don't work on nougat, the time out solutions also don't work (I suspect because of aod) and I use a custom launcher, so no double tap to lock.
Works with Nova Launcher Prime.
Edit: I refer to DTTL

Did you set it up using nova launcher? I use action launcher, and while it supports a double tap gesture to lock, it doesn't work on nougat.
I know nova launcher has a time out setting.
Yep, had it set up on several phones from Kitkat to Nougat. Works every time, I import the same Nova backup.

Makes sense. Do you use the timeout unlock?
The regular lock version blocks you from unlocking with the fingerprint password.
If I use the stock launcher it works fine, but just like nova, action launcher has a double tap option, and that disabled the stock one.
Oh well, I'm sure I'll figure it out.
Lock timer > 15 seconds after screen timeout.
I spent very little time on the stock Launcher so never tried many settings or options.

That's interesting. I've tried several types and for longer than 15 seconds, but didn't work.
Although greenify lock did, but takes too long.
Anyway, this battery life. Damn.

I have a V20 not a G6 although for the purposes of our posts I don't think it would matter?
And yeah you're doing great on battery.

Yeah, I'm on the xda app, so I dont see sign.
I don't think it should matter though, the V20 launched with nougat.
But maybe there is some small hardware difference with, and that makes up the issue.
I can lock by double tapping the status bar, it's just a little.. Sloppy.
I run stock 7.1.1 on my Moto Z and lately I have seen that the battery life is terrible. If I take the phone off the charger at say 7am I will be lucky to get to 3pm before needing charging. I don't play games or watch videos using the phone primarily for phone calls (!), texts, email, news reading (I use Google Playstand) and the occasional social media (no Facebook).
The only "customisations" I have are using the Pixel Launcher 3 instead of the Motorola one, the Google camera and the native AOSP dialer rathen than the Motorola one.
I had seen a few posts from folks saying a factory reset might fix it but I want to avoid that if I can with many work apps having quite convoluted processes to get then to authenticate and sign onto to Enterprise servers again,
Thanks
Maybe reflashing the stock ROM via fastboot avoiding the line "fastboot erase userdata" because if you'll avoid this line your personal data wouldn't be erased

HOw did you about that? I went to the Lenovo support forums and a senior agent replied as follows:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-Z/MOTO-Z-battery-life-terrible/m-p/3927759#M4349
Only one day but after deleting the cache partition, today's usage is much better - almost 14 hours.
However battery health is only 90% which seems low.
If you follow accubattery recommendations you should keep your phone ideally between 40-70% or at most 20-80% and don't ever let it run to zero unless you're recalibrating the battery and don't charge it to 100%. My Z Force is from August 2016 is at 95%, but even with that there's been a reduction in battery life.

I went to a local repair shop and paid something about 50$ to get it replaced.
I was playing a Daydream VR game that froze up and had to hold the power button to restart. Battery was around 70%, when the phone restarted it showed around 15%. My battery has been downhill since. This was last week. Today I have my phone plugged in charging with the Incipio battery back on and both showed 100% with the phone on. Powered the phone off while still plugged in and the power off screen shows the mod as 100% but my phone battery shows 78% and will continues showing 78% after 15 minutes of charging. Powered it back on and the mod is still at 100% and the phone battery is at 78%. Not sure whats going on. Accubattery shows 57% health after about a week of use. I have a battery replacement ordered...
First signs of the phone going to catch fire like my Z force did.
Took an update and it caused massive issues. Battery life was horrible and started to over heat. Not long later sitting at the Android set up screen about 1% battery drain per minute. Motorola said it's normal and no issues. Phones frame was getting to 90c again Motorola said ots normal and withen spec. Then other caught fire. Can't comment any more due to legal process. I'm just posting stuff I already have when I first seen the issues.
Be careful. Lucky at that point I was charging my phone in a metal pot. So if you see a huge battery drain and start to see overheating and reboots keep it in a metal pot. The pot is what saved my house from burning down.

I think that the incipio mod is the problem, O noted the same behavior using the mod, some weeks ago I purchased the turbo mod and it works better than the incipio.

I'm having the very same problem and will send the phone in for battery replacement.
Hundreds of users are complaining over there in the Lenovo Forums about this problem that came with 7.1.1.
Motorla recommended one user to clear the cache partition, but I don't think this will finally solve the 7.1.1 problems.
Let's wait for a software fix from Lenovo/Motorola or hope for Android 8.0/OREO
I think It's from some weird bug from 7.1.1
I got this problem after flashed 7.1.1 and now, it's in the warranty for battery replacement :/
and with my experience, nothing will fix if you flash back to 7.0.0

I replaced my battery. Before the battery would give 1.5-2 hours screen on time (57 percent drain an hour). Now I'm getting 4-5 hours of screen on time (17 percent drain an hour). Both measurements are on the same Android version 7.1.1 and same settings
I bought my LG G5 new last November (2017). Ever since last week the battery can't hold a charge for more than a few hours. It goes from 100% to dead two to three times a day. Before this disturbing trend, my normal usage would get a full day off a full charge.
A normal day for me is listening to a music player w/ headphones, making sure the screen in on standby. If the screen isn't off I'm just doing light web browsing, like checking forums, searching eBay, reading articles...just really basic web browser stuff. I make sure to keep the brightness at 40-50% on average; close to zero at night.
Anyone have an idea why this happening and how to remedy?
Thanks.

After the last OTA update mine suddenly started to do the same thing. I bought 2 batteries online () but they did the same thing. So I got the unlock file from LG and installed twrp and lineage 15.01. Battery improved some. Installed greenify and now i get almost all day. I still swap between 4 batteries. Each lasts about 8 hours and I always take an extra battery with me when i leave home and plug in car charger.

What's the OTA update? If it doesn't download automatically that's not the reason. Plus, this just started happening like 5-6 days ago.
I ordered a new battery yesterday. I couldn't find one that said it was compatible with the RS988; hopefully it works with my model.
Someone suggested I test my battery with a multimeter. I actually have one.. can't belive I didn't think of that. Also, never heard of greenify. I'll have to check it out.
Over the air updates are pushed out by the carrier or manufacturers. I don't know the last version but they can be automatic so you might have it. I found another thread on this https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/rs988-software-update-21c-t3663768
So I got the new battery in the mail and no dice, it still is chewing right through it. It doesn't seem as drastic as it was initially, but I still need to charge it again in the mid-late afternoon.
I think it could the charger. Shortly after i got the phone the battery wasn't holding so well. Then I left the stock charger at a friends. I didn't have time to go pick it up, so I bought a replacement and all of a sudden the battery was holding all day. Then after a while that new charger wasn't holding the battery, so I switched back to the stock one and it was holding it all day again. So chargers have alot to do with battery performance. I ordered another one; hopefully that fixes the problem.
It was the USB-C cable. I bought a new one and I'm getting a full 24 hrs of charge.
I think we should start working on some roms for our device. It seems no developer will come to our aid. I miss Roms like RR AOSPE etc. It can really be nice if we saw them here. Instead of continued waiting, its time we used google and come up with some roms for ourselves. Build fron sources? Or porting? Whatever works. We can port Roms from devices with similar processor or from the android one HTC U11 life. I have a feeling it will be easier to port the HTC u11 life android one rom as hardware is the same, so porting kernels only should be able to get it booting. I would have gotten porting but then am off pc at the moment.
This takes lot time to do the more people we have it will make things lot easy to bring out
Hi guys! I agree with you. I believe we must make "roms".
I have 2 "Life", the first is T-Mobile while the second is Android One.
Above the T-Mobile, I mount a US 8.0 stock rom with unlocked bootloader and root. I removed a lot of stock apps and mounted the stock gapps!
Instead, Android One received the "Pie" update. This device, for now, let him stock!
It would be nice to have "pie" in T-Mobile too, but the system partition is completely different, and without "s-off" we are dead!
Excuse my bad English.

Only 5/7 hours? It's too little!
I get two days of use with both Oreo and Pie.
WiFi and mobile data always on. Position off.
If I use the position with Google Maps navigator things change, lasting one day.
I'm afraid your battery went friend! but cheer up, in this phone you can change the battery without breaking the display like in the HTC 10.
Obviously, you need to check the chargers!
I have noticed that: depending on what charger and use it changes the life of your battery. I have two chargers, the first is an old 700 milliamper charger, the second is a new generation 2.4 amp charger and QC 3.0 port.
When I charge the phone leaving it all night with the 700 milliamper charger the phone lasts me two days. When reloading the phone using the 2.4 amp charger the phone lasts for a day.
Slow charging is always the best!
