Hey, about two months ago I purchased an open box T-Mobile LG G5 from a reputable eBay seller. The first month, I didn't notice any problems, but the past month my phone battery is losing juice much faster. The stock battery setting is saying the top culprits are "phone idle", Android os, castbox (which I do use a lot), and kernel os. I have since downloaded system monitor, better battery stats, and gsam battery monitor. I will post all the screenshots I took of my last full charge down to about 14%. The gsam app is saying the phone is being woken up hundreds of times by Android os. Also, better battery stats is saying there are hundreds if not thousands of alarms being sent to my phone from Android. Overall, it just seems my phone doesn't get into deep sleep much but stays in the awake with screen off category. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you would need any more information. Also, when my battery drains a lot it gets very hot and the screen lags when you type on the phone.

Hi Feini,
Yes same for me. I did this google/android update a few days ago and finding my battery drains before my eyes. Kind of hard when I'm trying to do my job and now worried if my phone is drained. I will try your suggestion. I noticed I now have an app called 'Exchange' on my phone since this update. Never had this before and I would like to remove it but all these dire warnings make me wonder if I should.

Thanks
