Help Battery drain issue with my LG G3

I have a LG G3 D855 (not rooted) and i have been facing battery drain issues regularly.

I dont use WiFi (may be a total of 10-15 minutes because i m active on laptop all the time). this means i dont use browser, facebook and other stuff too much.

No bluetooth ON
No NFC ON
No GPS ON
No Data ON
Screen Brightness is 0 percent as i m mostly indoors.

But still i get only 1.6 hours of screen time, i dont text too much and dont listen to music. I dont have any game installed.

I have installed Greenify to hibernate apps but it does not helps.

When i use Facebook at 0 percent brightness the battery drops 1 percent every minute. My experience is getting ruined.

Need your help guys!!
 
I do a Factory Reset every few months with mine and it always solves my battery issues. Just did it this past weekend. Was only getting about 8-10 hours a day. After Factory Reset I'm back up to 18-20 or more hours on 1 cycle. I have the Verizon variant, but can't imagine there's much difference relating to this matter.

Have you used the app Wakelock Detector as you recommended to a member here?
 
I have only had my LG G3 for about a week now. The first few days I was so mad with the bad battery life that I was going to take it back. Well after I did a factory reset, my battery life has greatly improved. If you have your brightness at 0 and hardly use it and you are only getting 1 hour of screen time then I would say something is wrong. Have you tried a factory reset?
 
yes

I also think that's a faulty battery, you need to get it replaced and then practice energy saving tactics on your device like switching off wi-fi and limiting your hours of gaming if you do do.

Is your greenify the donated version or the free version? The free version requires you to manually hibernate the apps before shutting off the screen. The donated version will constantly auto-hibernate apps when the screen is off.
