Hello out there,
my LG G3 (Android 6.0, Build MRA58K, V30b-214-07 - non root) died with over 50% battery charge left.
There was no way to reanimate by pressing the power button. The only way to call back to life was, pluggin in the charger: than the G3 booted an everthing was fine again. What is this strange behaviour? How to fix it?
Thank you for reading...
maybe recalibrating the battery will fix this....
i had the same problem, i dont know whats the bug
Try new battery see what happen...

Battery charge indicator 2.3.5 upgrade problem
Hello everyone.This is my first time come to xda-developers form.I'm from china.
Yesterday I update my wildfire S(China mainland Edition)to 2.3.5+Sense3.0 lockscreen(Taiwan Edition)'s ROM.
I charge my bbttery yesterday evening.I turn off my phone.
When charge compalate.I found that the LED light didn't change green.It was still orange.
Why?How to solve it?
PS:Maybe my post have some Grammar problem。I hope that you can Bear with it.
Try factory reset see if it helps.
Backup important information and personal stuff first.
Just try the procedure of taking the battery out, sim card, micro sd etc etc and see if that works...
are you using the stock battery?
i used to notice with my (so called) extended battery 2430mah Gold battery, the software would say it was 100% charge, but it stayed orange for around another hour or two, then eventually turned green...i assume this is because the phone software had misjudged the charge level...so although it THOUGHT it was 100% full, it was actually still charging?
so if you have changed the battery at all, leave it charging for a bit longer (only an hour or so) and see if it goes out?
should be safe, as the batteries themselves usually have an auto shut off safety to stop them from being over-charged.
I get the exact same on ALL custom ROMs, never on Stock though, would love a fix!

Since I unlocked my phone's bootloader, rooted and installed custom recovery I have the same problem too.
If I charge the battery with the phone turned on, the led turns green at 100% and everything is fine.
If I charge the battery with the phone off, the led stays orange forever even when I disconnect the charger. Then I have to remove the battery and insert it again so that the led turns off. If I wait enough time charging the battery reaches 100%.
This is a strange sympton that only started with the rooting/recovery flashing process.
Oh and BTW the way, I use stock battery but now I'm waiting for the arrival of two batteries I ordered on eBay.
One is a Li-Ion 1500 mAh and the other a Li-Polymer 2430 mAh.
Will see if the same happens when they arrive but I'm almost 100% sure this has something to do with the bootloader unlocking process.
Does anybody know how to fix this? I would really appreciate it.

I for example left my phone charging for 8 hours (during the night) beyond the normal charge time. And the worst is that I have to remove the battery in order to turn off the orange led and be able to turn on my phone...

Hi
have you try to wipe battery stats in recovery mode?
perhaps this will help, although I had not previously encountered a similar problem

I've tried wiping battery stats in recovery mode and also with Nema Battery Calibration. Nothing fixes this annoying bug.

Same as, pain in the arse!
Great news! At least on my phone this problem is gone.
You wonder how? Simply by updating recovery to v5.0.2.8 from ROM Manager.
I almost didn't notice it it but a few hours ago I plugged my phone to the charger while still on. After finishing my work I turned it off (no fastboot).
In the meanwhile I needed to use my phone far from the wall plug and disconnected the usb charger cable.
My gesture was to immediately remove back cover to remove the battery but fortunately I noticed the orange led went off.
So I decided to plug it again and wait for the charge to complete and for the green led. It did!
So run to the Market, download ROM Manager and let it update your recovery to the latest version.
I hope this annoying pest won't bother you no more.

thanks, i will definitely try this, ive been having a hard time looking on ways how to solve this problem.. also can i now do battery calibration steps after that?
cause im having battery drain issue on my WFS after flashing of ROM, im not getting 4.219V my only maximum was 4.196V. And yesterday i tried charging my phone in OFF state for 7.5hours and when i open it 100% at 4.077V, and now 87% just after 15mins of use..

sorted it out alright,was using a universal charger for a replacement night hour charging ....thought this is just because of the overclocking.
First of all reset the phone . Am sure that will help.

Not what the problem was or related to, it was an outdated ROM manager app that caused it...
So there is this problem with my HOX.
Every time my battery goes down below 20% my phone switches off itself if i use more than 2-3 apps simultaneously.
I am not able to use phone below 20% most of times as soon as i plug in, I can use it again :/ weird!
This has been occurring for a while a now.
I have tried flashing different roms but still the problem persists.
Is there an issue with my battery? Or is it something else?
Although the Gsam Battery Monitor shows thats battery is good.
Any thoughts?
Any help is much appreciated!
No body?

Don't know if this will help and may be unrelated, but is the battery charging ok? I have been working on a friends HOX which is having battery issues, in a similar problem it keeps shutting down before the battery runs out, and was seming to charge ok, but the battery drained quite quickly after charging. In the end I replaced the battery(as the old one wasn't holding a proper charge) with a new one which seemed to fix the problem and also seemed to charge fine for about a week and then started having charging/shutdown issues. I'm yet to have another look at it but have been trying to find out more about the problem, if it is the charging circuit it can aparently be re-calibrated by holding the vol up, vol down and power button down similtaneously for 2 minutes. Don't know of this will help, but it is the only thing I can come up with that may explain the problem.
Had this today when my phone died and while it was charging on 2% it turned off.
I think it's just the cpu pulling power the batter simply doesn't have though I've never had it on anything about 5%.

Hey guys, my G3 worked over 2,5 years flawlessly. The last weeks, I recognized a strange behaviour of the battery. The device reboots randomly and after that it has around 15% of battery left. I thought, well, the battery is not the best anymore but works though. However, today it did that again and now my screen won't turn on. I tried all buttons combinations, charged via powerbank, laptop, original wall plug with or without battery inserted... nothing helps. Sometimes the screen goes on for a short time flickering and fading back to black. It definitely works somehow because i can access WhatsApp web and see the notification LED working. I simply don't understand if I have a really bad battery that influences the display (is it worth investing 20$ in a new one for testing?) or if both, battery and display, are dead and i should go for a new device
Greetz, deermichel
EDIT: Maybe a useful additional info: If i connect the phone with no battery inserted to power, the display backlight works. If i do the same with the battery, nothing happens at all.

Ok, i ordered a replacement battery. Let's see if that helps... I just can't imagine why the display is affected even with the power plug connected. Hopefully, the motherboard is fine.

If the new battery doesn't help then your motherboard is dead ..
I had the same issues and I've got new motherboard.....

Ok, the new battery didnt help... So i guess its a problem of display/motherboard. I found out that it works perfectly in the fridge. Is the GPU overheating?
And why on earth do battery problems result in that?? I started an app aaaand its gone
i would just get a new phone.

Yeah, i just read a huge thread with all the stuff... Paper trick (which got it back working for now), baking, etc. But since nothing really helps, I might get the new OnePlus which will be released in some days. A sad end cause I loved my G3...

Hi everyone!
Android Pie has improved the battery life, but sometimes the device doesn't charge at all unless I restart it, I always have to check. Does anyone experience this issue?
Thanks in advance

It happened to me twice, I put the phone on the charger and left it. the "Charging rapidly" note popped up! About an hour later when I checked, it didn't charge a single percent... Disconnecting then connecting the charger didn't work... I had to restart the phone too... After that it worked... It did it only twice however since the second time I always wait until it charges at least 1%.... Just to be sure it works... ? I'm on stock rooted pie.
I do exactly the same! It happened three or four time.... And luckily I never let the battery out completely!
My phone isn't rooted, I bought it on April.
Thanks for your reply ?

Yes I make sure as well to have some juice left in the battery before I put it on charge. And I think it must be something to do with the software as it never happened on 8.1 and I bought my phone brand new in June 2018 so it's barely 6 month old...
Hello everybody,
so yesterday my two year old Mi 5s died completely after crashing 3 times in about 30 Minutes.
After the first crash I noticed that the battery status had suddenly dropped from ~60% to 33%.
Now, after 3 crashes, the Phone seems to be completely dead. No Bootscreen, no status LED when charging.
Also, the phone doesn't even get slightly warmer when plugged into a charger.
It's literally just a brick at this point.
Because of the suspicious battery drop after the first crash, I suspect that the battery just died.
Fortunately I ordered a replacement already, about 1.5 weeks ago.
My question is this:
Would you suggest waiting for the new battery (which should arrive in 2-3 weeks) and hoping everything works with a new battery?
Or would you rather buy a new phone?
Even if you are not an expert, I would still appreciate your opinion.
In case anyone wonders, I was using LOS15 with latest(-ish) firmware and magisk, though I suppose none of that matters for the issue at hand.
UPDATE: After removing the battery; plugging in charger; attatching battery and repeated plugging in and out I now have a blinking red LED.
Victory? Not sure .. I still can't boot but at least something is working?
this thread sounds similar to your situation... https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5s/how-to/blinking-red-led-death-t3743795
worth a shot before your new battery arrives. and since you already ordered your battery its best to wait for it and install on your phone, while putting your sim in a backup phone. if it still doesn't work then buying a new phone would be the best option.

Thank you for your reply! I tried the methods described in the thread you linked and updated the OP.
I had a similar problem 2 days ago. I changed the battery, now it works again.
Same thing in my case - new battery helped.
Thanks a lot! I revived my old Nexus 5 (what a great phone!!!) and will stick with that until the battery replacement arrives.

New battery fixed the phone, it's working normally again (and lasts much longer ?).
