How To Fix Bad LG G5 Battery Life

Reboot or Reset LG G5

Sometimes when the LG G5 battery is dying quickly, the best option is to factory reset the LG G5. Another great reason to factory reset a LG G5 is to get a fresh start on the device. Follow this guide on how to reboot & reset the LG G5.

Disable Wi-Fi

The WiFi kills the battery on the LG G5 if it’s turned on all day. Most people don’t need to be automatically connected to each Wi-Fi network that is available, and it’s a good idea to turn on Wi-Fi when it’s not in use. Also, during times that either a 3G/4G/LTE connection is being used for the Internet, turn off WiFi because there is no need to have it on when it’s not being used.

Disable Or Manage Background Sync

When opens are being used, these apps are still draining the battery on your LG G5. The best way to help fix the fast draining battery on the LG G5 is to close these apps when it’s not being used. This can be done by pulling down the quick settings and swiping down with two fingers and tap on Sync to disable it.

Another method is to go to Settings -> Accounts and disable sync for the apps you don’t need. You’ll notice when disabling Facebook background sync, the LG G5 battery life will be much better.

Use LG G5 Power-Saving Mode

The “Power saving mode” feature has some great options to help fix a dying LG G5 battery. There are options to restrict background data. There’s another option to limit performance, such as turning off GPS and the backlit keys and lowering the screen frame rate, as well as governing the phone’s processor. You can choose whether to start this mode manually, or have the phone do it automatically.

Disable LTE, Location, Bluetooth

Using the Internet for things like location tracking, LTE Internet and bluetooth really drain the battery fast on the LG G5. Sometime you need these services, but during times that it’s not needed, try turning them off and see how much longer the battery life lasts on your LG G5 and sacrificing battery life. For those that don’t want to disable Location (GPS), put the smartphone into power saving mode. It will only wake up when necessary – like for Navigation. Bluetooth is another big silent battery killer.

Reduce Tethering

Reduce the amount of tethering that is done with your LG G5. Yes the tethering feature is great for connecting other devices to the Internet, but this feature drains the battery of the LG G5 fast. The best way to fix a fast dying battery on the LG G5 is to just turn off the tethering feature, or reduce the amount of time it’s used.
