LG G6 - Battery Life after April/June/July Security Patches

Has any noticed the reduced battery life after updating the phone with these stupid 500 Mb+ security patches?

I got two updates in the past. I was getting nearly 6 hours of SOT when I first bought the phone. After first security patch it reduced to 4.45 hours and after July patch its gone further down to just 4 hours.

Please share your experiences. Plus, how many signal bars do you get? I always have 0 to 2 at home (3046, Vic) and it goes to 3-4 when I am at work(Vic 3000).

  • I had been having huge issues that came to a head last week. Then I cleared the system cache, OMG the improvement for me is mind blowing. I get over 35 hits out of it now.

    I think you clear it in one of the storage menus from memory

    • What do you mean by 35 hits? Yes i cleared system cache.

      • Sorry that would have been autocorrect killing me, 35 hours!

        Shame that doesn't fix it for you. I had been having battery issues for years. I guess to that end then with the most recent update that hit the other day I don't have any problems at all now.

        • Whats your build and firmware?

          Mine is v10e-twn-xxn…

        • @Braintrain1000:

          Close, v10e-twn-xx, no n on the end of mine.

  • signal bars mean nothing, they can vary going to a different room of the house.

    It maybe you need to restore the device and make it back to new - then install the apps you want.

    • You mean by resetting the whole unit? Nah man thats lot of work.

      • yeah, I know. But sometimes ya have too.

        My sony Z5 doesnt stream right since the last update, reading online a system restore is needed. I have been putting it off as its a pain like you say.

        • Whats the easiest way restore system

        • @Braintrain1000: connect to a pc and use the phone makers software.

        • +1

          Worth noting too if doing a restore to not allow it to restore settings that were backed up to the cloud upon restore. Pain in the ass but it's the only way to be sure, otherwise something that was screwing your phone could just get put right back again.
