[Q] So what is using my dialer?

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 %.

[Q] Emergency calls only

Hi guys !
Yesterday i bought Galaxy s4 mini LTE - i'm from UK , o2 pay as you go sim.
Everything was fine for all day, on the end of the day i had about 35% of battery , so i decide to check how much bttery will drain during the night .
When i woke up phone was off, my alarm didn't ring at all. thanks God today is sunday
Anyway, battery was empty ( 35% during the night?) but the thing is that i turned off all the sensors, apps ect. before i went to sleep, there was also no apps in background running , no wifi no gps, nothing )
After a while when i charge battery till 20 % i've noticed that there is also " emergency calls only" on the status bar. but when i turned on 3g i can use internet but no calls or texts.
I restarted my mobile few times, then i did factory reset , full wipe , and it's still the same.
I didn't downloaded even to many apps yet, just facebook and skype.
When i've checked battery status there was like normal stats for most of the night but in some moment somehow battery droped till 0% - maybe mobile lost the signal or smth i don't know, , there was just thre things which used battery during the night
Android sys
System iddle
Cell standby
after few resets battery shows me that there is 46% ??? wtf , i did charge just till 20 %. and then on the stats was like red line on the bottom and after restart yellow line in the middle with the gap between red and yellow ?? i don't know how it's possible - some battery stats is wrong - but i didn't root my mobile yet so I can't even reset battery stats.
So if anyone have any idea why battery could drop from 35% till 0% in 7 hrs ??
And why there is "emergency calls only" but 3g internet still working ?
When i'm trying to call somewhere there is " no registered on network"
When i'm trying register to network manualy it says "registered" but still nothing's changed
Also i've check my sim card on different mobile- everything's fine , and i've checked my mate sim card in mine mobile - "emergency calls only"
somehow also on the status bar there is full singal range, so it's not a o2 operator fault isn't ? other way could be "no signal" or smth
I'll be grateful for any help.
NO HELP NEEDED ANYMORE ! 2nd hand shop sold me stolen mobile ! o2 operator blocked this mobile that's why was no chance to call .
ps. I wanted to delete this post but don't know how. sorry

[Q] Battery dead

My phone turns off at 50% (sometimes it's 12% or 60%) and I can't turn it on. It says it is empty and needs to be charged. I tried everything from calibration,wipping everything in recovery,bbstats, different ROMs and even went back to stock and still the same. Any help?
P.S.: Before this all started the phone was in customers service and the back of the phone isn't put as it used it's moving, does that maybe move the battery or something like that?

Do I have a bad battery too?

1. Bought it used - c6502. Phone arrived with around 10% battery, everything looked fine and then it kept shutting off every time I tapped the camera icon. It was on android 4.4.2
2. Charged to 100%, after hard resetting (using the button next to the microsd slot) couple times, it finally turned on, updated to 4.4.4, used it whole day without any problem and then google play services, xperia home, camera common or something simlar and whole bunch of craps stopped working when battery was around 20%. Phone was STILL on. So I turned off the phone and can't turn it back on now. Tried the hard reset button, Sony & the xperia logo show up, then I see the gray screen only. The on screen charging indicator shows around 3 bars which should be good enough to power up the phone, but it doesn't turn on! I'll let charge it fully and try again.
Can a bad battery stop all these services? or is it a software issue? As I said the phone was still on when all these services started crashing.
After reading some other threads, it feels like some kernels have battery drain issues ( I even don't know which kernel mine is running, used it for a day only). Should I try to flash a different kernel? Could you name a few that don't have battery drain issues? Or should I just get a new battery?
Thanks!

Battery Level stuck @80%?

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...
