I bought a used but mint LG V30 on Swappa several months back, which replaced a Note 3 that I bought brand new basically the day it came out (so yes, I was using a 5 year old Note ). Battery life was excellent (obviously, compared to the Note, which had gone through three batteries in its life). Lately, however, I have hit a snag. When I'm outside in the daytime using the phone, the battery drops very quickly. Inside, in the evenings, on an airplane, it's seemingly fine. It also does amazingly well on stand-by. It seems like it'll stay charged for two days if I don't touch it.
This daytime thing though... Here is an example from today, just a few hours ago.
This was after not charging it at all last night, and then leaving it on a wireless charger at the office for a bit (the two spikes). You can see that any use causes an immediate drop. This is autobrightness on, and it's at 100% outside
At 83%

2 min later, 82%

Then I took it off auto-brightness and stuck it on 48%. I was able to get 6 min out before a 1% drop.
Unfortunately, outside, anything short of 75% or so is essentially unreadable.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? Here's everything been running (and yes, I lost another 5% with 10 min of use.

Like the subject said. I've got an unrooted (my lazy ass haven't gotten around to it yet....) TFP running .14, went to go update yesterday morning only for it to fail after looking at the poor guy lay on his back with his panel open for half an hour. Not a big deal in and of itself, but my battery life has increased drastically since, with no change of use or settings. Same start up programs, same power settings, nothing uninstalled/reinstalled, nada.
Not that I'm complaining here, but any thoughts? I'm kinda scratching my head here...

I'd hardly call an average of an additional 2 hrs of life a placebo effect. With WiFi on for duration, moderate internet use for video conf, and heavy note taking I would avg ~7 hrs from 100%-dead. Since yesterday morning, ~9 hrs between charges.
placebo effect my ass.

The absolute most it did was 'bump' charge your prime, nothing more. You'd probably get the same result from fully charging, powering off, then let it charge for a while again.
I considered that, but that's exactly how I charged it for the first week I had it last month (since I'm old school and still condition my batteries). Literally nothing has changed in the last month as far as use goes. I dunno, maybe it's just a damned fluke.
The 1620 battery is ok, its not the best but its not the worst. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with like, a slim fit extended like - http://www.mugenpowerpdabattery.com/zaspx/product_details.aspx?file=default&productno=1351 - or maybe a 3rd party battery that has a mAh above 1700.
Im sure the original extended is beast, I have one, but it makes the phone a damn brick and I dont feel like carrying around something thats an inch thick lol
I've only seen the mugen so far. Some people say its way better than stock and some people say it's worse. I would see what their refund policy is and then decide if you want to take the plunge
I use the Mugen 1900 and it does make a 2-3 hour difference in battery life for me. In my case, that's the difference between needing a charger before the end of the work day and making it all the way through.
I just received my battery yesterday. This is my first full charge. This screenshot the battery was at 17%.
Display: 2 hrs 1 min
Voice Calls: 25 min
Wifi was only on for 5 hours of this and there was a good amount of texts, about 30 minutes of Pandora, and a few YouTube videos. So far I am pleased with the results. Ill post back if I see anything else to pass on.

So far I've had horrible experiences with my SM-G925T. I got it a month ago. First, the SIM got stuck, and I went to the LA Samsung store which was an hour away from me and they said they couldn't do anything. Naturally, I was furious since I spent all that time to drive over there, but eventually I just ended up sending it into the service center in Plano, Texas. That experience was surprisingly pleasant as the whole thing took about a week and I got my phone back fixed. So now, on to the current issue. I always leave my S6 charging overnight on the table next to my bed, with the night clock on. I always use the stock adapter fast charger. So, when I got up today I went to check my phone and strangely, the night clock still said 3 a.m. I went to touch my phone, and it was so hot that my hand immediately retracted as a reflex. Unfortunately, I did not have a temperature gun or anything, but it felt similar to a boiling kettle. This could have caused serious injury and / or a fire if I had not checked it when I did. The phone is completely unresponsive with the night clock stuck at 3 a.m. as mentioned before and I try to connect it to my computer via USB and it did not recognize it at all. There is no physical damage at all(see pics). I plan to contact Samsung and will update this post when I receive a response.

EDIT: The battery just died, I plugged it in to a charger, it booted up, and now everything is fine!
Hello guys, i recently bought a Galaxy S6 Edge and I'm like at about 3rd charge. I've unplugged the charger at 100% (after all night charge), I got 95% left after 19min (on screen time) browsing the Internet on Wi-Fi. What to do?
That seems normal to me. The battery life on the S6E is pretty poor compared to other phones I've had. The Marshmallow update has made it a little better but it's still not amazing.
its not normal ,,, get rooted and save battery

I have had my S6E for about a week now and I've also noticed that the battery drops fast.
What benefits to battery life is root going to give me, I have no incentive to root anymore.
I've rooted every device I have owned and I come from Android 2.1, so i am seasoned in root and the benefits that it used to pose.
Get rooted and save battery? I am rooted and haven't yet found a battery saving con, I mean app, that actually does anything. Even Greenify was greatly disappointing.
Having come from an Xperia Z1 it was quite a shock to see how bad the battery on the S6E is. I used the Z1 in exactly the same way as the S6E but the Z1 battery would last around 2 days. My S6E needs charging twice a day, minimum! Sony's Stamina mode needs porting lol
Hello I need help to reduce battery consumption when the phone is idle the device is an ASUS Zenfone Max M2 (ZB633KL) I bought the phone on March 30, 2019 it's first month in April was good and it only consumes 1% when idle the whole night sometimes it doesn't and then around May 17 until now the battery consumes more around 12% - 15% like last night it was 86% at 10:20 pm then I woke up it was 72% at 5:48 AM I don't think this idle battery consumption is pretty normal since batteries go bad after 2 years or so.
PS sorry for my bad grammar and I hope you could help me. Thanks
Do You use app like Smart View??I have this phone and never have this issue. You must have something installed and this drainbattery.

I don't have that app installed, only had facebook, messenger, and youtube. I might also ask if i could use my phone's 1 year warranty to replace the battery or the phone itself, the battery might be defective at all.
A little update on this issue a week ago after updating on Android 9.0 Pie the battery consumption became worst it consumes 15 - 20% maybe the update was buggier I found a lot of complaints from different users I will link a screenshot from last night and this morning.
last night
