Massive Battery Drain On My LG G3 topic

Hello guys,

I came across many topics about battery drain on the G3. I am using the international 16GB version of the phone with a software version of 5.0. I get the same battery drain as everyone is complaining about. Its just intolerable. Still even going through every topic on xda, I dont seem to find a solution. Today i am leaving my country for 4 months and wont have time to deal with getting a replacement, so i really hope it can be from the software. I tried everything like factory resets, all battery tips like switching off location and sync.... Believe me everything. Some says it can be kernel wake, but I really dont know what to believe. It starts to become a major issue for this phone and more people are getting that problem. Please if someone has a possible solution that would be great!

Lg G3 Massive Battery Drain from bam_dmux_wakelock (Pics Included) topic

Alright everyone,

Some details about my phone before we begin-

I am a moderate user. I play some games, check emails, text and that's about it.

My phone is NOT rooted and obviously I am not running a custom rom, or a alternate launcher, and I haven't really modified many if at all any settings.

So, that being said I am experience some sever kernel wake lock issues form bam_dmux_wakelock for the past week or so. As you see in my picture, 6 out of my 7 hours of up time (off charger) has been kept from deep sleep, therefore destroying my battery time.

Today I have maybe 30-40 minutes total of screen on time, but not nearly the 6 hours of non deep sleep time.

I've turned off "okay google" detection, disabled wifi when screen is off, restricted background data for youtube, disabled google + (I don't use social media) and my brightness is on auto mode, typically around 35% when the screen is on.

If google can see this I would like to offer them a huge F you for changing the permission architecture so that gplay apps cant detected whats causing the wake-lock without root. They are pretty much forcing us to root our phones to access features locked meanwhile continuing to call android "Open Source"

Can anyone give me a recommendation on what are my options? Or should I really just root my phone, which I don't want to do (I have in the past but I haven't needed too with the G3 since it has everything I want without root)
