Latest update Android 6.0 is killing my battery...again!

My LG G3 updated this a.m. and my battery died within 12 hours with no use. I am tired of doing factory resets to fix this problem as this is not at all acceptable! I had the same problem with the last update...In addition the phone gets smoking hot...I guess it's time to look at other providers...SO FRUSTRATING!!!!

J3773ry, we never want phone issues to drive you away from us! We want to get things resolved for you as soon as possible. First, I need a little more information.

Was your phone on the charger while going through the update? What happened the last time you did a software update? How long has the phone been getting hot?

Marcus,

The phone was charging while it updated. The last time the phone updated the battery died as well. I had to uninstall the update and factory reset the phone to get it to work properly again. The phone has never gotten hot before until this update.

Reset without auto restoration of apps and data.

I am also having battery problems since the upgrade last week. Upgrade was fine, but battery drains in less than 5 hours to nothing and if I keep it charging, it barely holds its own... It will charge full, but takes 8 10 hours. The heavy user is Cell standby is 47% of battery usage... I work in an area with spotty cell coverage and it comes and goes as I walk in the building, but it no different than it was prior to the upgrade... Phone is almost not usable unless I am plugged into power...
