Just got my G4 and it came with Marshmallow. I'm reading xda and apparently battery life is better on Lolipop.

Could you tell me if this is normal:
From 8am->4:30 The mobile data on. Few whatsapp messages during the day and about 20min music playback.
My battery goes from 100% to 45%

Abnormal.

Seems about right, battery sucks for me on MM.

Here is how to disable MLT.
Apparently it is LG software baked into device to track all your activities on your G4.
XDA guys state it can save up to 300mb ram.

I disabled it and the phone feels smoother.

1. Dial - *#546368#*815# (note that 815 is the LG G4 model number e.g LGD815)

2. Tap on SVC MENU

3. Tap on LDB

3. Uncheck "Enable"

4. Restart and Enjoy

OK well I gave it a go, seems innocuous enough and easy to restore if it has negative consequences.

That isn't normal but before I jump the gun what's your screen on time. What radios are on and what network preference are you using e.g. 4g hspa etc. Also what network are you on personally I was using Telkom Mobile and I had insane drain switched to MTN and it perfect.

I'm on MM 20G and been getting between 3hrs to 4hrs screen on constantly. Only variable for me is screen brightness and Clash of Clans. Sometimes need to turn it up to 60% to see clearly. With Clash if we have a war I'm on it a lot to strategize then it drains a lot.

Yeah if you keep Telkom Mobile as it's own network or allow it to switch automatically it drains battery like mad. So far I've done that Disable MLT on my phone will see how it goes.
