HI all,
I flashed my Arc last night, and then rooted it.
All seemed to be fine, until I rebooted after the Root had been completed.
Once the phone turned back on, the battery had dropped from 70% to 1%. It was warning me that it was about to shut off, so I tried to plug it into the computer, via USB cable to charge, and nothing!! I thought it must just be my computer, so I tried to plug it into the wall socket, and still nothing! It just refused to charge. Full stop. However, it continued to tell me that I was bout to run out of charge and didn't turn itself off!!! I unplugged it 1000 times, and still tried each option ( computer/wall socket) and it just wouldnt work.
So, basically, this is a well known problem and you can solve this by following this procedure -
" try removing the battery for a few seconds then reinsert the battery whilst the wall charger is plugged in. give it 5 mins before attempting to switch it back on.
if it manages to switch back on, try to put the phone in flight mode until the red light turns a pale green. "
I did this, and turned it back on. Straight away the phone rocketed back up too 77% battery.
And, the usb port worked again.
So my question is this,
Is this a common issue?
And is following the above process ok for the phone? I hope that I wont have to send it back, cause the other people on that link above had too.
Is anyone else had this problem?
Thanks all for your input
Amanda
This is a common issue, no worries Amanda! Same for me when I flashed the UK Generic 2.3.2 to obtain Root..
How did you fix it???
This happened to me also last time after a reflash. You may try to do a complete drain then do a complete full charge (don't turn on the fone while charging at this time).

Just remove the battery and wait a few sec.

The other morning I woke up and unplugged my phone and the "Unplug your phone" notification wouldn't go away and the phone thought it was still plugged in. If I rebooted it would just turn off and keep going from the green batter charging icon to a black screen and back. Only way I could turn the phone on would be to actually plug it in again. Problem fixed itself that evening and the phone was fine for a couple days. Today the phone started with the same thing.
I've tried searching but couldn't find anything on this specific issue. Any insight? Thanks in advance.
Brand new ept4g and I got 6hrs of battery life its so lame I have hack so much bad luck with this bad boy but I'm not giving up.

This isn't a battery consumption issue...
Anybody have this problem yet?

I'm having the same problems the last few days. Also when I unplug my phone I get a red exclamation point over my battery widget, when i open the widget it says that the battery is over voltage and the red led light won't go off. Think i'm about to go see what best buy does for me. Been dealing w/ this problem for a few days now.
Did you get a replacement? I haven't had any free time to go to sprint with my problem. It is still happening often though.
I had a similar issue the other morning. Though my phone would only boot back up in recovery mode. I reflashed it to out of the box stock but that didn't make any difference. When it did boot up it would show that it was connected to the usb port but it would not be plugged into anything. I plugged it into a usb port on my computer that I hadn't used with the phone before and it reloaded the drivers on my computer and "that" issue went away. After turning phone off it would start rebooting itself immediately or with in a few seconds of turning off. I let the battery die completely and then recharged it and the automatic reboot went away, at least for most of the day, but last night I turned the phone back off and it rebooted itself. I did reroot and restore my phone after I got it to not show the usb connected or the battery charging while the phone was off icon. Just wish I could figure out why it wants to automatically reboot itself when I shut it off.
Same issue here

My Battery Monitor Widget shows a max of 1500mah? Wtf? And a measured of under 1200?
No wonder my battery life is crazy low...

I figured a way to shut the phone off and not have it automatically reboot. If after shutting the phone off the normal way and once the screen goes black but before the capacitive lights go out, if I again press the power button, the phone finally shuts down without rebooting itself. Not sure why this is happening but at least I can get it to turn off now.
I found better battery life by determining which app or apps drain the battery. I used Battert spy, cpu spy and system tuner. My problem was Touchdown exchange for Androir 2.x. I switched to Moxier Mail. I would get hours on moderate to heavy use. I got 22.5 hours yesterday on moderate use.
I installed the ARHD 7.0.0 ROM on Monday everything was working fine, I also installed the SMooth Rosie MOD and still everything was fine. But today, I lost my phone signal and though oh well i'll leave it whilst I go to the gym, I came back and the bttery ws at 23% (Was at 91% when I left it).
I rebooted the phone and it would get to the lock screen (with no ring) then it would reboot and it constantly done that. I reset everything and formatted everything, I transfered the ARHD 7.0.0 back onto the phone but as I was trying to flash the image, from windows, the battery died, I can't seem to charge it.
All its doing at the moment is flashing the red LED. I tried resetting the LED with power presses in and Vol but it keeps coming back after a few seconds.
I really just need to know how to charge the phone, once its charged I will be able to sort it out. Oh and I can't even turn the phone on at the moment.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like you didnt instal the boot.img
EDIT: put it in the wall charger for 10-15 minutes and dont touch it...
I put it in a wall charger and its stopped blinking. Cheers
Oh and I did install the boot image on Monday, i've been using the phone for two days, then it just lost the signal and then didn't work. Weird!
Thanks again!
Yeah....just pluggin usb charger and leave it for ~1h and U will see, it's charging.
Few days after buying HOX I was on a party with enabled wifi, async, gps ect. Lately this night my phone goes off and I wasn't able to turn it on. At home I plugged in charger but there was no charging led.

Guys,
I've updated my SmartWatch 3 to 5.1 yesterday via OTA
Everything worked fine.
When battery was low, I charged it up from 9% to around 80% (I switched it off though)
It stuck charging at 80% as it was very hot I removed it from charge.
After 2-3 hours I charged again to complete from 80% to 100% even after 1-2 hours of charge It would not charge.
Today morning I did the same I wouldn't charge. I switched on the watch I got android wear logo and it directly switched off.
Now it's not switching on.
Any help I can get?
Yeah same issue here but it is harder than that ...
I installed TWRP on my watch, and when I received the 5.1 OTA, it seems that it did not want to install the update because I was not on recovery stock. Then, my SW3 started to lag, I was not able to install the ZIP via TWRP, and it was superhot, I was unable to boot Android Wear..
That's so ****ed up, man. I can't even know what should I do. xD
I've got the same (or really similar) problem my watch was out of battery, I put it on the charger, it showed normal charging battery icon, then when I tried to turn it on it doesn't show anything, the display is black and when I held down the power button it vibrated once. The problem is that it isn't only display fault because I can't connect to the watch with my mobile phone. Wat do?

edit: Well that was weird, I unplugged it from the charger and put it there again and now the charging icon is back and when I pressed the button it started to boot. Weird.
Me, too.
After OTA today, my watch is dead. Even long press power button can make freeze screen reboot.

Okay guys, here my solution, it worked for me :
If the screen of your SW3 is completly dark:
1) Just let it plug. In fact, the watch is charging, it's just not shown up (I dunno why...)
2) Let it like that for 1 hour, and then unplug it and let it cool down for 10 mn.
3) Install the Sony Companion App on your PC.
4) Keep ressing the power button of your watch til a screen with the watch and USB appears.
5) Plug It to your PC, open the Companion App.
6) Somewhere in the menus, you can resinstall the OS of the watch, RESET it, find the menu.
7) Let your watch restart.
And you're done ! It worked for me, so try.
I left it aside from morning to evening. Didn't even touched it. It completely discharged. So I kept to charge once again and it magically booted up and now working fine. Seems pretty weird. ?

As I read in other post, I can confirm there is some kind of bug when you are charging your SW3, if you turn it on with the usb cable charging and the screen showing the battery %, the smartwatch gets like frozen and doesn't do anything.. In case you have this problem, you should wait until the battery goes to 0%, start charging your sw3 BUT when you are going to turn it on again first unplug the usb cable and wait until the battery % display dissapears.. I did it after I read it in other post in XDA (I don't have the link here.. I was searchig for it on another computer) and worked for me.
I hope it works for all.. sorry if my English it's not perfect hehe

I have H818p on Marshmallow, everything stock. Yesterday i used the phone until battery goes very low i.e, 3 %. After that some strange things happened, at 2 % battery remaining , it stopped calling feature and then turned off. Later i charged it and turned ON again, from that time i am facing these weird issues, details are as :
1. No more connection with Laptop for data , only shows charging, and there are no options to change it.
2. Charging of phone stopped. now nothing happen when connect to charger. Until i reset the phone everytime after connecting charger then it starts charging. But also Only upto the time until charger is connected. If once i remove it, then again needed to reset phone to start charging. It seems phone pick charging only when its Off. also until its connected with charger.
3. very slow charging. whenever charging start, its very very slow. taking 5 hours now on Original charger.
I was a die die hard fan of LG, using from G Pro to G2, G3 and now G4. but these issue really annoying and changing my mind from LG. Please help me to solve this.
I had almost the same problems a month ago and they started from nowhere (slow charging, no connection with PC). I tried cleaning the port that didn't help. As strange as it sound all problems ware gone when i flashed a fresh KDZ with LGUP. At first my PC wasn't detecting the phone in Download mode so i tried like 10/15 times and it installed the drivers eventually. So yeah ... go figure ..... i hope this is helpful
Try replacing stock battery or stock charger/cable or the poster said about flashing fresh kdz via lgup
My AT&T Note 4 has been turning off randomly, but a battery pull usually solves it. Yesterday, my phone shut off and won't turn back on. The phone is charged, it was at like 60% when it stopped working. I have tried booting it into odin mode and recovery mode, but it doesn't even turn on .When I plug it in to charge, the phone doesn't vibrate and the display doesn't turn on. My pc doesn't even recognize it. PLEASE HELP!
just order a new OEM battery, trust me
