So I noticed this odd dialer battery behavior on stock, which disappeared when I moved to viperROM. But since flashing Calkulin's ROM, I noticed it come back again. I saw it on battery usage yesterday, so after charging overnight, I pulled the phone off this morning and about an hour later, after not making or receiving a single call, or loading the dialer app at all, I see the attached battery usage.
Thoughts?
Now that I've been watching it, I wonder if it's somehow tied into "Cell standby". Both labels are always the exact same %.
Hello,
Facing this issue a number of times per week.
The phone was fully charged and kept as it is. Saw the charge left as 95%. After few hours of no activity on the phone, I try to unlock and find that it has switched off. Power button press won't start the phone. Had to take out the battery and put it back and then on power button press, phone starts.
Checked the battery level and found that there was a vertical dip of battery level from 84% to 0 and it was like that - till i booted the phone again.
After boot, again the battery level shows at 83%!
This sudden drain of battery to 0 although when phone was sufficient amount of charge has been happening quite a number of times.
Please see this screenshot. Is this due to a bad battery or my phone is "dying"!
Please help and let me know if any more information is required.

I also had the same problem. In order to avoid it I am forced to reboot it on my own! Even I am working on my phone it is shutting down. This happened from the first takju update to 4.2. when I was in yakzu for previous versions I had no problem. If anyone has any idea please let us know.
Thanks in advance...
There have been multiple reports of the phone crashing which is likely causing your battery drain, its not randomly shutting down, its just unresponsive but using more power than if it were running normally.

What do you suggest to do? Have anyone found any solution. Some people suggest a "reset to factory". Will it fix anything?

Hi,
Only one solution I have found to the problem - are you using any app which is using Google Location service?
I was using HD Widgets - uninstalled and found that the problem was gone.
Then found at HD widgets page in Play store, that the problem was with Google location service itself and not any specific app - HD widgets since then, have released a new version compatible to 4.2.1 and there haven't been crash reported.
Now I have disabled the setting of letting an app use Google Location service - that way , no random shutdown, no instant battery drain for me till now.
Additionally you can install Franco kernel on your rooted Nexus - it doesn't have any Sleep of Death issue (unresponsive lock screen).
I can not seem to clear my Issue of the battery always showing 80%.
I have reflashed back to Stock, but still the same problem.
Even when I had TWRP recovery installed it showed as 80%.
Any ideas how to fix this please?
you have infinite battery, be happy!
I wish
Fixed it by flashing Open EU H815.kdz file once again and now the battery use is showing correctly.
Edit: The problem is back again!!!!
After several hours when it seemed okay, I put the phone back on charge and Bingo.
Stuck back at 80% again, even on my other original LG Battery, and to top it all i have a stuck LED on faint green.
WTF???
I had the same problem before, how many apps do you have installed? Does it charge in safe mode? If not, does it charge to 100% when the phone is powered off?
Tried Safe Mode and the same problem persists.
The battery seems to charge fully but the OS is not showing it correctly
Hmm, in my case, it was always stuck at 74%/75% and it doesn't charge more regardless what the indicator says. What about if you powered off the phone and charge, does it actually go past 80% and to 100%? I fixed my problem as I had 739 apps installed incuding system apps so I greenified everything except for those I needed and that fixed the problem, not only am I getting more than 2 hours of battery life regardless if the screen was on or not, it's now 12 hours or so of battery life with a few hours of screen time but the charging is fixed. Before I used to also have problems installing in Google Play Store, it would actually sit there doing nothing after the download and install when it feels like it even after a hour or it can install fast.
Tried charging while turned off and still gives the same reading.
Last night I reset the phone and left the battery out for 30 mins before re-inserting and setting up the phone once again.
So far it seems to be fixed and showing correct battery %.

Sure, see attached.... Please note that I am including the system apps in the app count as this is what's reported by Titanium Backup *root. I was wrong, I seem to still be getting the stuck battery percentage indicator which can happen at 73/74% or even 97%.
It seems the stuck battery charging % problem came back when I changed the brightness to 100% Auto but went away when I changed it to 0% Auto. I had the problem at 38% Auto too.
Is there any workaround? I just flashed my LG G4 from 10a to 10e and Rooted it. And It happened exact the same.
After a reboot I didn't have Service IMEI Null . This happened twice in a row, after that it magically resolved and now I have Service and IMEI... But after some reboots I started noticing that LED green turned on and the 80% Stuck Battery....
Im experiencing the same issue battery stuck at 80% and green led stuck on. Issue went away however battery life was appallingly bad, went from 1.5 days battery life to struggling to last a day. Battery stuck at 80% has come back today.
I have tried factory reset, upgrading from 10c to 10e.
i'm having the same problem: battery level stuck at 80%, network set to 3G but not actually connecting, and the inability to charge the battery when it is in the phone - even though it says "charging" the percentage kept dropping (tried different chargers, cables, batteries, and even wireless charger - i can only charge using a separate charger). the battery not charging started about a week ago. the 80%/3G issue started this morning.
no root or any other mods, very few apps installed. i've had the phone about 6 months. verizon. 13B. 5.1.
i did wake up the other day to a frozen "firmware update" screen, but it has not come back, and i've checked for updates (to 6.0 maybe) with no success. this "firmware" screen was after the battery stopped charging, but before the 80% problem. i had to pull the battery after it sat there a few hours (it said "don't disconnect USB" even though USB was never connected, and there was a progress bar at 0%).
UPDATE: this thing may be falling apart in front of my eyes. now my service is disabled and I have no network connection showing up at all.

Try taking the SD card out, if that doesn't work take the sim card out and then back in. That normally gets the service working again for me.
I had this same issue and sent it back to the supplier, they than forwarded it onto LG who couldn't find any issue with it. Im now waiting for it to be sent back to me.
Are you using a 3rd party (non-OEM) battery by any chance? I ask because I had the same issue occasionally when using a non-LG battery. It would fix itself after a few reboots or by installing the LG battery that came with the phone. I truly believe based on my experience, and others (there is another thread related to this exact problem) that the issue is purely battery related. Even the service disabled symptom.

I don't have a 3rd party battery so I don't think that's my issue
OEM battery for me. I did remove SD card, and reseated the SIM: no help.
This is my current work around: Turn off phone. Charge battery to 100% with phone off (overnight). Turn phone on.
It seems to charge fine (and have accurate %) when the phone is off. Then it powers up with accurate battery percentage and 4G coverage. Note, I've only tried this twice, but it worked both times.
I'm having the same issue. Battery stuck at 80% and green constant notification light. Not rooted BTW.
I assume LG will investigate the issue while I am stuck with no phone for weeks.
I should have never bought a non nexus phone...
Hi all
I've been trying to solve this problem for a few months now. Basically, the majority of the time this happens is when my phone is under 55% battery.
- When opening an app the phone will restart itself. Sometimes it restarts at the exact same battery percentage level, other times it restarts and it is sitting at 3% battery.
This has also happened when the phone was at over 75% battery.
I notice that a lot of the time when it restarts all of my widgets are gone. I have animations turned off in developer settings and occasionally when it restarts these are turned back on again. I'm using a custom keyboard and occasionally when it restarts it will reset to the factory keyboard with vibrations and sounds turned back on.
My phone is not rooted and I'm not using a case. The phone is 1 year 4 months old, although since it started a few months ago it was around the 1 year mark. So no warranty. My software is up to date and all apps are updated. Play store says none of them are corrupted.
I contacted HTC support and they suggested testing the battery by charging to 100% then turning it on airplane mode with the screen on full brightness and leaving it for 1 hour to see how much the battery drains. It only drained 2% (he said it could drain up to 25%) so it is not the battery. He then said I should test the apps to see if one of them is causing it. Unfortunately there are no HTC service centres in Sydney (only retailers who double as service centre) so I'd have to send it away for HTC to check it.
Yesterday I thought it could be the htc flip clock, as since the last restart that was the only widget I had and it disappeared on the restart yesterday, so I removed it and kept using the phone to see what happened. The battery was able to still be used without restarting down to under 15% which has not happened for months, so I'm thinking it could be that widget causing the issue. I've since added a different clock/weather widget but I hate the look of it and it doesn't open the stock HTC weather app when clicked.
So I guess my question is, is anyone else having this same issue and if so, did you find the cause of the issue/have you managed to fix it?
I'd rather not do a system restore unless completely necessary as I'm about to go overseas for a month and I don't want to risk losing anything so close.
Thanks in advance for any help. Hopefully I've added all relevant info.
So after removing the flip clock widget and replacing with another and all day use my battery is down to 27% and has not restarted once. I may have solved my own problem, although it doesn't explain why the battery drains so fast but I guess I can work that out on my own.
Hopefully anyone else with this issue will find this and solve it too.
Cheers
Test it with some battery drainer first, if it reboot then it is the battery.
My 10 just got the battery replaced by HTC had similar issue, it will reboot when high cpu usage and battery level under 40%, it will seems working ok if there is little cpu usage and will only turn off at about 3~5%
Hello everyone! Recently my Note II started to behave differently. Whenever I charged it completely, the battery abruptly fell to sometimes 60% sometimes 40% immediately followed by low battery warning indication and shutting down. I tried changing ROM and calibrating the battery again but nothing worked. Finally I replaced the battery with a new one and also clean flashed another ROM in a hope to see if the problem is gone or still there. But to my surprise the problem is still intact. Now, when I turn on the phone the battery is 90% and when I keep using it, it drains normally, but as soon as I put it idle it turns off randomly. When I turn the phone back on the battery is still at the same percentage level at which is turns off. I believe there is not an issue with the battery. Please help me what to do, I am using TWRP recovery that doesn't gives the battery stats wipe option too. Should I flash a new ROM again? I would greatly appreciate if someone please helps me in sorting this problem.
What I have already done!
1. Replaced the battery
2. Changed the ROM
3. Re-calibrated the battery
