650 and 652 are both 28nm, 810 and 808 were both 20nm. The 650s are also clocked a bit lower.

Yes, it can. 1-2 hours SoT is Nexus 5 territory, absolute garbage and can't be normal for the G4. Can you check the battery stats?

Yes, but the A57 was a such a mess power-wise only Samsung and their 14nm process managed to control it. Both Mediatek and Huawei didn't even bother with A57.
The A72 is such an improvement that even with a lower clock and older process it should be much better.
It's a month old phone.
I would do a factory reset and try using the phone with just the stock apps for a day or two before going that route.
LG's software sucks though, hard. I have CM on my G2, it's such a huge difference.

I have g3 and it lasts 3.5 hrs of sot some times.
remove the battery. turn off the phone charge fully for whole night or for long ass time and see how it works. have screen brightness to auto. hope something helps.
I have to disagree with that. what part of software is bad? It is normal software. you can turn off smart notice and stuff after that there is nothing there that is out of ordinary.
This is what's currently running in the background.
I've no idea if this is far too many or normal for Android. Feels like a lot.
Tried the factory reset route but didn't go with only the bare essential apps, a lot of apps I need installed.
Screen brightness is on auto, and LG's system for measuring what it should be is awful.
Try uninstalling Facebook. It pings the GPS a lot. Same with Speed Test.
Use the mobile site instead through a browser.
Cheers I'll drop SpeedTest. More reluctant to drop Facebook though, it also doesn't have Location access on my phone. We'll see how removing SpeedTest goes.

Those pics look like my nexus 9 where tablet idle destroys the battery life for some reason I can't even grasp (even with no apps post factory reset). Then android system. Then screen. lol. Gotta dump this shit for an ipad but them canadian prices with our dollar ugh.
That's just how android is. It's totally random. Could literally be ANYTHING. Try uninstalling every single app on the phone and slowly begin adding them back. Definitely don't add facebook back that's a killer on this OS.

Troubleshooting Android battery drains is literally one of the worst tech nightmares I can think of.
In Kharma's case, there doesn't seem to be anything outrageous draining his battery. I also suspect he got a bad battery out of the box. Barely 2 hours of SoT when the screen is taking up the lion's share of battery usage seems to point towards that.
It'd be easy to test this since the G4 has a replaceable battery.

Yeah I think I'll stop in with Vodafone when I get a chance and see if they'll do a swap for me. I am now leaning towards dodgy battery as someone else mentioned earlier.
One thing at a time.
My findings are from a Galaxy S3, which I've had for 3-4 years with the same battery.
Nexus 5 gets way more than 1-2 hours.
Massive drain. Here's what I suggest: root and custom ROM your G4, or at leastleast put on a debloated stock ROM. I'm using Amplify and Greenify to handle wakelocks. I'll post a guide for Amplify thst reduces wakelocks almost entirely. Also stock G4 ROM is bloated as fuck with random software.
What are you currently using?
I'd rather not get back into custom ROMs again. Had enough of it back when I had my HTC Hero and Nexus One, plus certain apps I have won't run with root nor do I want to invalidate my warranty.
HTC one m8. It's been a good phone. Starting to wear out and get dinged up some.
That's still a good phone and it should get Marshmallow. I would stick with it until the next Nexus refresh as the 5X is not that much of an upgrade for you.
Okay, good to know. Thanks

People, use a wakelock detector.
Battery drain is not "random".

Wakelock detectors normally require root in modern Android versions.

oh Christ , lol
All this wakelock stuff is just something you have to get used to with Android. Its kinda keeps you on your toes, one day you get through the whole day the next you don't get through the evening. One day Chrome is eating battery like a man going down on a chick the first time, the next day Google Play Services plays with your emotions.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
It doesn't work like that. Good luck figuring out what drains Google play services.

Does the phone have normal battery life? If so, relax.

It's not about completly denying wakelocks, but restricting their frequency.
And I agree, play services is a mess, but you can restrict it without breaking it.
Amplify is a godsend.

So now Xiaomi is locking their bootloaders and will manually approve unlocking it.
Yeah that's going to help them. Dumb decision over dumb decision.

That page says the screen should be 5.6" (I guess maybe they just calculated it using the diagram as reference). Also maybe the whole detachable bottom could be adding more height?
Do they exist for non-root users?
Will do
Edit - Will look for the APK since it won't let me do it this way.

Picked up the 5X and really liking it. USB-C is great and the lightness of the phone is a godsend. It does feel a bit cheap, but the design is nice. The standby is unholy compared to what I get on my previous 5.1 phones. Main issues I have are:
32GB
Screen is mediocre
External speakers is ass
Cheap feeling
Not really getting any huge noticeable stutters yet although I don't use Snapchat so...

So s7 in the middle of the second week of March. G5 in the first week of April give or take a day.
You're welcome.

Do you have anything useful to contribute?
Anyways... For those of you with root that want to minimize idle drain and get your wakelocks under control, follow this guide. And also follow the testing section if you want to find any wakelocks the guide missed.

Note: Amplify requires Xposed and root access.
I don't need to, I imported the UK version months ago
my man!
