Thankfully it is relatively easy to fix most LG G6 problems on your own. You might need to spend a few minutes with your phone, but once you know the steps to take, you’ll be back up and running in no time.

There is no reason to panic if you run into an LG G6 problem. First off, most are easy to fix, and second, the phone is under warranty for a full year.

How to Fix LG G6 Battery Life Problems

The LG G6 battery life should last you at least a full day, even with moderate to heavy use. If you experience bad LG G6 battery life, you should explore options to fix it. This is especially true if your LG G6 battery life doesn’t last a full day.

The first thing to do is restart your phone if you haven’t done that in days or weeks. This could solve your problem in less than a minute.

The next thing to do is look for apps that are causing problems. Go to Settings -> General Tab -> Battery & Power Saving -> Battery Usage.

On this screen, you will see how much apps are using your battery.  If one is using ti too much, you can tap on Stop. From there you can see if the problem goes away.

If the battery usage is still bad the next day, you should make sure that the app is updated or look for a replacement to find one that doesn’t use up all your battery.

You can also disable apps and bloatware that you don’t use. Go to Settings -> Apps and then tap on an app you want to get rid of. You will see an option to Uninstall or Disable. If you have no idea what an app is, you should investigate before you disable it, since it could be an important part of another app.

Although this shouldn’t impact battery life much, you can try turning off Bluetooth and WiFi. Phones are battery friendly enough these days that this step is not as important as it once was.

Another step you can take is configuring battery saver mode. Go to Settings -> General Tab -> Battery & Power Saving -> Battery Saver. From here, you can configure how soon you want this mode to come on and you can turn off the always-on display if you want to.

You can also adjust your screen since the display is often the biggest battery hog.

Go to Settings -> Display and then you can adjust the brightness, turn off the always-on display, and you can make the screen timeout faster so that it turns off sooner.

You should also check for updates on your phone under Settings -> About Phone -> Software Update -> Update now. If there is an update it could help with better battery life.

Amazing Display

> 1 / 9

The LG G6 display is absolutely beautiful. The display uses an 18:9 ratio to deliver more usable space in a smaller package and LG chose round corners to make the screen less likely to break when you drop it.  That's not all. The display supports DolbyVision HDR, which means you'll see amazing colors and incredible detail when you stream supported shows and movies on Netflix and Amazon Prime.  LG packs in a 5.61-inch display that the company says is closer to a 5.7-inch display due to the rounded corners. The screen supports QHD+ resolution and looks stunning.  The LG G6 is a cinema worthy display that fits in your pocket. This display puts your TV to shame.
