Hey guys, welcome to Gadgets Unleashed. Today I'm going to show you how to significantly
increase the battery life on your G3. So as some of you would already know, the LG G2
had an impressive battery life and the G3 falls short of that. So how to increase your
battery life to match the G2? Or even surpass it? So as you can see I'm having 18% battery
life right now. Let's show you what has been going on to my battery today. So battery...
OK! As you can see I've roughly 12 hours of battery life. It looks very lousy.
But the most important thing is the screen on time. OK, so as you can see, I've used this
phone for 12 hours on battery, and 6 hours out of 12 hours is actually screen on time.
Previously before I did this tweak, the maximum I've been up to was about 4 hours. And I've
2 extra hours and there's still 18% battery life left. So what did I do? OK, so
first thing first, you have to find this app called NOMone.
It's a free app, what you need to do is to install and open this app. What this app does, is that
it actually changes the resolution of your screen. You do know that you are using a Quad
HD display, and that display is actually reducing your battery life significantly. By changing
the display resolution, you're actually saving up a lot on the power used to drive the display.
So what I did was I change the settings to 1080p Full HD display. It's 1080 width,
1920 height, with a DPI of 469. The original DPI was 640 but I change to 469 because after
changing your resolution everything just go haywire. After changing to this resolution,
it matches the previous look of the device as close as possible. So I find 469 to be
the most accurate. Before you apply, I have to give some disclaimers first. After changing
your resolution, some apps will break. Especially LG apps. Those apps that come with this phone,
will break. Because these apps are actually made for 2K display, Quad HD display. But
after changing to 1080p display, they will just crash. So I'll show you an example.
Let's say I open the dialer, the standard LG dialer. It crashed! Another example, not sure if Quick
Memo works. Oh it works. OK how about, let's see file manager. OK, so most
of the LG apps would not work, and some other third party apps would not work. But majority
of the third party apps should work. So what do I do is I actually... Assuming,
let's say gallery. The stock gallery will crash. So I use a third party app for everything, so
I used QuickPic (As a gallery replacement). I used Dialer+ (As dialer replacement). And
so on so forth. For every single app that can be replaced, I will replace it. So this
is a workaround, but driving 1080p display is so much lenient to the battery and is not
hot at all! Your phone don't feel hot at all. So the overheating problems as mentioned by
other people, other reviewers, is gone. There's no overheating problem at all. The battery
life is fantastic. The phone is fast and snappy. Aside from compatibility issue I'm actually
quite liking this device and these settings. So I hope that this might help your G3 to
last as long as you like it to be. And as always, thanks for watching. Please remember
