How many of you did receive a dead battery on arrival? Some people in sweden did and they claim to have terrible batterylife according the themself. This units dosen't seem to survive a day with easy use. Could it be a connection here with a dead/over-discharged battery and the terrible batterylife that some experience?
How many of you did receive a dead battery on arrival and does it perform worse than avarage?

Uhm I got a normal one but a dead battery could be a bad sign considering this kind of battery technology doesn't like being on low % of battery. If your battery had 0 % from the start it could really damage it.
There could be a link between an empty battery and bad battery performance.
(Just my 2 cents)
My phone didn't arrive dead, but they turned it in for me in the shop and it died on me on the way home. Plugged it in to power and it took ages before it displayed a flashing orange light, then another good 15 mins before I got a solid orange light and it was charging to the point where I could turn it on.
That said, here are my stats today.

I would expect to get over 4 hours screen on time, which seems ok to me, considering we should get further improvement with updates.

Hi all,
I was just wondering what everyone's else's battery usage looks like, because ever since I got the phone I've been having very poor battery time (it only lasts 7 hours with barely any heavy usage; wifi on only when needed). I want to know of it's something I'm doing wrong or if my battery is the problem.
I've disabled some annoying apps from running constantly (e.g. Photobucket) and am running Launcher pro with some widgets (manual refresh only). I don't know what else I can do to save my battery... screen brightness is low as well.
So, what does your Battery usage thingy look like and am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
P.S. Is the 'Android' supposed to take up that much battery?

I get fairly good battery use throughout the day. I'd say with moderate to heavy use I get about 15-20 hours before the phone is dead. Right now after six hours unplugged it's at 76%.

Definitely look for juice defender, it saves battery life by turning off your data plan when the phone is on idle (screen is locked) and it automatically turns on when you unlock your phone. I had the exact same issue you're having now and only originally getting on avg 8 to 9 hours on my phone while I was only at school for 6 hours.
After a day of installing juice defender I can honestly say I can comfortably have my phone on for 10 to 12 hours of use with mild usage (1 hour of pandora, 1 to 2 hours of angry birds, and some web surfing) and the battery'll still be at roughly 50some odd %. Trust me you can definitely live wihout having your internet one when your phones in your pocket.. just my preference.

As the graph shows... Not connected to the charger yet it increases 5% in battery life, went from 29 to 34...

Same
Mine does the same actually. Everytime I look at it when its below 50% life it always has a part of the graph as it charged a little bit. seems wierd
The battery usage and percentage in the notification panel is more of a guess of where your battery really is based on usage. A lot of usage will cause it to guess your battery is at a certain level, and then less usage will lead it to believe your battery is at a higher level.
It also has to do with the charge going to the battery, but that's a bit more involved.

This is normal behavior for a battery, i've had this with all my android phones (HTC Magic/Galaxy S/Galaxy Nexus).
I have that too. But I believe Tesla hasn't died and is currently working with Google or Samsung on some sort.
Poorly calibrated battery or a big change in ambient temperatures?
For example here in Finland, it can be like -20'C outside during wintertime and the battery seems to take a hit when using the phone outside and after coming inside to +20'C (or more) it could suddenly (when warming up) load the battery magically
Mine does the same and I love it!
this is normal for this type of battery fuel gauge because it's based soley on voltage. and you pressed the phone hard during that steep slope, then went idle, and voltage tends to rise and bounce back up when in a relaxed state. when this bounce is large enough it moves the SoC as well. it's all normal.
So, I have an LG G3 D855 for about 2 years now, it has the original firmware, never rooted, never flashed, all original...
And, recently it has started to turn off by itself randomly, when I turn it on again, it shows much less battery percentage that it had when it shut down...

Does anyone knows what could be causing this, and how to fix it?
I really want to avoid buying a new battery, since it's price is much above average on my country... A replacement one costs around $46 here

You need a new battery definitely ... You could try to calibrate the battery, factory reset and see if that lets you get by ... But slowly it will definitely get worse

Hi everyone,
This is my first post and it's because lately my baterry on lg g4 h815 is dropping from 70% to 3% or sometimes turns of and then the battery % starts to go back up. Does anyone know what's going on? Why this is happening?
It first started with the original battery. I bought a new one thinking it could be a dieing battery but it is doing the same thing.
I will leave so screen shots to illustrate what I am saying.

You bought a fake lg battery
Invest in a power bear battery
I have same problem a couple times. The battery has been original, for couple years have phone, i think battery counted his cycle, but read a lot who buy a new one big change don't see. And now with a two year old battery charge 100% scroll down instagram, facebook, play game ~10min, the phone is getting warm already, and battery gave ~70% veryyy bad :/ 60-20% have phone restart, some times just restart, some time restart and battery have 3%.. 99% I get restart when I turn on instagram, when the phone battery is less than 50%..
It's difficult to buy a legitimate battery. I've twice bought them from Amazon and they ended up being fakes that would fall out of the sky randomly.
Anybody know a good source for the United Kingdom?

Buy a zerolemon or powerbear battery
So, huh, my Z2P is dead (the screen broke) and I guess I won't be able to even pay the cost of the new replacement screen.
They are charging 75$ for a GENERIC, non-original replacement screen in my nearest repair phone store.
Seems like a bad deal to me, so instead of paying those 75$, I got this nice used phone in 100$ called Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite.
I have one question, should I disconnect the battery from the board?
And if disconnected I don't have to charge it again? Or should I charge like every once in a month?
I know that having lithium batteries totally discharged for a long time isn't good at all.
So I guess I won't be participating in this forum anymore. Was pretty fun while it lasted.
BTW, it seems that this battery isn't 3000mAh at all, it says 2820mAh.

Sorry LEo. I guess I don't understand why you want to charge the battery if the phone is no good?

The phone can be repaired but some batteries die when they aren't charged in a long time, and as long as the battery is connected to the board it will keep it draining very slowly even if the phone is not turned on, this may cause the battery to be completely drained out, and if not charged every once in a while it can die pretty quickly and never charge again.
