Help Terrible LG G2 Battery

Hi,

I am a proud owner of the LG G2.

I only have one issue and it's about time I get some much needed help. The battery barely lasts me until 5 pm every day. I don't normally wake up until 1. I am running Lollipop. Which before I had a severe overheating problem, and I thought it would help the battery. So I did a factory reset the other night. Everything is fine, like the overheating. But the battery is still a piece of crap. I am a heavy phone user, but I read other people are even heavier phone users and have their battery last 2 days even on one charge. I look under the battery settings and everything is only taking up like 3% or less battery, but the display takes up 50% when it's not even on high brightness the whole day. I normally keep it around 30% brightness. But I have my phone sleeping a lot of the day and simply use it for texting and the occasional scrolling through social media. I woke up at 11 today with 100%. Its 5:30 and I am down to 17%. Please help me as to how I can get my battery better. Any help is appreciated.

If the phone was used,Then its possible that if was well used.
If the phone was new when you got it,Then the battery might be defective or going bad.
In any case I would either check with where you got it(if purchased new)if you purchased insurance and see about getting it checked out.
Or take it to your local phone repair store and have it checked out.Maybe they can replace the battery.

I got the phone new. And I think I might consider that. I just don't know what else to try. It's very frustrating how fast this battery dies on me. Thank you for the suggestion. Anything else I could at least try?

I am having the same problem. Had full charge this morning, went for coffee with friends, hardly used it and an hour later it was at 50%! And everything is slow. I was thinking of upgrading to the G4 but a after this I think not.
