![]() ![]() If this works for you, consider paying for the full versions of GSAM or Greenify. Use Greenify to hibernate the apps you need to keep but are killing your battery.For apps you have to have, remove all the permissions they don't need (e.g., IFTTT doesn't need Location for me). ![]() Decide which ones you have to have and which ones you don't need/use.Make note of the apps that have a ton of wakelocks (for me, it was IFTTT, Pebble, and Twitter).From the 2nd menu option at the bottom, select "Num Times Waking Device".Check the graph from the first menu ("Others" graph) to see if it is going into Doze for long-solid-periods of time or if it's constantly being kept alive.Use it for a few hours / most of the day.Download GSAM Battery Monitor and set it up (Do the adb command to take full advantage of all the stats).It's gotten me to about 2.5 hours of SOT, ending the day with about 5-10% battery. My battery has been driving me crazy for months, so this is what I've done. If you are still having issues, refer to the RAM manager to see what might be slowing down the device (or murdering battery): Tap Settings > Apps > Application Manager > Options (3 dots) > MemoryĬan't hurt to use a second app, such as gsam, to monitor app usage as well and look for discrepenancies. Once the system cache is wiped reboot the device. Use Volume to select Wipe Cache Partition and press Power to confirm. Hold down Home + Power + Volume Up to boot into recovery. ![]() The new Nexuses\Nexii look promising and I doubt you'll get a laggy experience on the Nexus.Ĭhecked my trusty sources (xda, at&t, and of course reddit) and couldn't figure out what exactly this update was for but just wanted to remind everyone in case it is a performance update of some sort, you might want to clear app cache and system cache after updating to potentially get the most out of whatever particular issue that may or may not exist this update may or may not have been made to possibly address:Ĭlear the app cache: Settings > General > Storage > Internal Storage > Cached Data > Delete Storage upgrades are pricey, but again - if you can afford it then definitely do it. Everybody's hoping it at least has 2GB of RAM this time around though. If you can afford to buy a new phone - I say do it. Not sure what to tell you on fixing that :\ This phone seems to get as hot as my old Galaxy S3 or my girlfriend's Moto X. The only instances where I experience freezing\lag is when activating the Dual Window pane.Īs for heat issues. I can't say I've dealt with freezing on my LG G3. >Issues: - freeze on chrome - freeze on Maps - freeze out if nowhere - painfuly hot Take GSam for a spin to maybe determine if this is the source of your poor battery life (and consider getting a fresh battery). If apps aren't the problem, then another area to be looked at is battery health. If you hardly used the phone and the screen was off for nearly the entirety of the 3 hours then I would start looking at whether you have any abusive apps. It seems like people average 3-4h SOT with the LG G3. If you were using your phone continuously (Screen ON with high brightness ON), then these stats aren't unheard of. >I use my phone to work and this phone just isn't reliable. You should have discovered more quickly whether or not the device was botched. So you bought the phone in February, this was 7 months ago. >I'm starting to think that I got a broken product. Temporarily uninstalling a top offending user app and then observing how or if the battery is now draining might tell you if that app was indeed consuming more resources than you would like.I like how the two alternative phones you list are polar opposites in terms of price-range. So, the top of the list that WLD presents to you is a good place to start with your candidates, again, bearing in-mind that wake locks are not "bad" but are a tool used by apps to keep some resource (like the CPU) alive and kicking so that it can do things like syncing in the background, etc. Then, you'll see the top apps, in descending order (highest up top), of the apps using CPU and presumably only the ones using a wake lock. When you run Wakelock Detector it will show you the awake percentage (in red) in the status bar at the top of the screen. So, I'd use GSAM Battery Monitor as your first step (which you've done) and then "dig deeper" with Wakelock Detector. Yeah, GSAM Battery Monitor will give you a heads-up that there might be apps that are keeping a system resource awake (CPU, screen, etc.) more than you would want or expect (I don't want to characterize apps as using "too much" or "too many" wake locks since that would be dependent on the app and it's normal usage). ![]()
