So I'm having a problem where I drained my battery and the phone shut itself off with 1% to 2% battery life remaining. I've left it charging for a good 45 minutes now. Turned it on, and it reported 1%. Thinking that it was just a reporting error, I unplugged it, and the phone promptly shut itself off. Now another 30 minutes has passed, unplugged it, turned it on. The phone refuses to turn on! It will however show the battery charging animation, so I know it's not bricked or anything. I guess my only solution is to leave it charging while it's off overnight, even though I need to use my phone right now... That important person will have to wait :crying:
Edit: Works again... Though it does not show my battery life correctly. It says 15% when it's probably more like 2%.
Make sure it's plugged into a wall and not your computer.

Might want to use a different cable.. i have read that the cable and possibly even the wall adapter can be flakey.. if you have a spare cable try to use it instead of the lg one..
Original LG cable is fine. It's ever since I drained the battery it's started to act weird. I plugged it in at 3% in hopes of "calibrating" the batterystats and it was charging fine. Up till now. I caught a glimpse of my phone turn itself off while charging.
Now it's randomly decided to turn itself on and bootloop... And back to charging animation while off we go. What the hell? The battery isn't charging... Switching cables didn't help btw.
Found a third cable. Temporarily working..

Hmmm maybe the charger? Sounds to me like its not getting proper power hence the shutting down while plugged in.. but what do I know heh
I have the same problem. Plugged the phone in at about 3% and walked away. Came back an hour later to find it stuck in a loop of the LG logo and a black screen. I can sometimes get it into recovery, and from there see that the battery percentage will go from 0% to 15% and back to 0%. It's like the battery is bad.
I think it's a problem with the ROM/firmware where we can't drain it and hope to charge it up again..
I'm still running v1 of the jb release and last night I used my phone until it shut down at 2%, charged it up fine, and its been ok, knock on wood. One weird thing is that if I use the phone while on the charger, and I mean light tapatalk usage, the phone will drop to 99%, even while plugged in. Weird.

That's normal. When the phone is charged at 100% it stop charging to avoid the battery to be overcharged thus reducing it's durability.
Not charging again... My phone maintained a charge between 10% and 25% or so according to the battery usage graph. So I switched cables again. I went into the service menu and got a screenshot of the charging test this time. First pic is with the LG cable. Second is with a Samsung cable. Third picture is back with LG cable after the battery successfully got charged past the "low battery zone" with the Samsung cable.
I have a similar problem with the stock charger. After a few weeks of working perfectly, it just sopped charging my Optimus G.
Bizarrely, it charges my wife's Galaxy S2 HD LTE without issues.
And the charger from my Sony-Ericsson Xperia pro charges the Optimus without issues.
It's almost like the stock charger burns out something internally such that it doesn't output enough voltage/amperage/current.

So it happened again... But this time, it occurred in between 20% to 40% battery life while charging. It's probably the LG cable.. Gonna call support and ask for another.

I have a similar situation -- I powered down my phone one time at 5 %, did not wake up until one hour of charge, then last night tried again with about 40 % of battery left, same problem. I was wondering at first if the phone did not go to power down properly, and that the battery would drain through that, but then I just did another test with my battery at 30 %, and the phone did not want to restart until plugged in for 5 minutes.. It's almost as if the booting process is just this huge battery drain, sucking all the juice to start the phone in a peak of electrical rage.. anyway -- I noticed that yesterday, I was trying to restart the phone after a while, it would start to boot but it seemed it owuld just miss a little bit of juice to complete the process, then finally when it made it to screen it was at about 10 %..
Could it be that fix we used in the stock rom to get the screen at more than 65 %, and the cpu at 1512 mhz ? It seems more software related than hardware in my case, meaning I don't beleive it is the cable
Hate to revive an old thread, but as the new owner of an LGOG i just ran across this problem the other day. My phone has been able to go two day on a charge, and last week I forgot to charge it on night. Found it dead the next day. was leaving so I took it intending to charge at work or in the car. Car charger had no effect, but upper portion of phone got hot. plugged it in at home, same thing, charging icon, getting hot, but not charging. Also noted dim screen glow all the time.
tried 2o second hold on power button, vol up and down, got into the download screen and the bootloader screen, but no charge. Finally held the power button and vol. up and red charging light came on. Held it for a minute and the red charging light stayed on, let go out it went. Decided to try a couple of rubber bands around the phone to hold in the buttons, and it worked ---phone charged fully and operates as usual.
Thought I'd pass my experiance on to help anyone else with similar problem. Any idea why this worked?
I don't know, but I do know that getting to android 4.3 roms like the ones in Houstonn's thread have cured my O. G. from that, and from also constant and random camera reboot, and from also maps freaking out when plugged in in the car..

For anybody that runs into this problem
I had this problem and tried for hours and hours to fix it. When you stick the usb charger into your phone, it literally takes like 5 hours to charge 2% when it's in this state
So it never gets to a point of wanting to turn on because the phone gets too hot trying to charge
My solution: Put a bunch of ice in a bowl, then put something over that like a bag, aluminum foil, basically anything that would be a barrier between the ice and your phone to keep it from getting wet
Now let it charge with the phone sitting on top of that ice for a few hours(make sure to add new ice as it melts) and your phone will charge up enough that it can be fully turned on. Then just let it keep charging
This worked for me after trying other things for hours. If this didn't work i was gonna open the phone and pull the battery
After the last update I have not had this issue. I've run my phone dead a few times and now it always charges - no issue.

Last fall. I had to go to the stock rom, do the update, reroot, then all was fine.
Alright, I'll try to be as brief but detailed as I can.
I just got my note II 3 days ago. I used what little charge it had out of the box until it died, and plugged it into my computer to charge it overnight.
I woke up and it was fully charged. I used all of the battery and plugged it in to charge the next night as well. only this time, I woke up to find it hadn't charged a bit.
I tried to plug it in to a different charger, and I saw no charging icon. I rebooted the phone, and I got the charging logo. it only charged for about 10 minutes before it stopped charging. I tried to reboot it again and got the same issue. so I spent a while trying different chargers and cables until it was totally dead.
Now, when I plug it in I get a gray battery icon with a loading circle in the middle, and then it goes away. I tried leaving it for several hours like that, but it didn't charge at all.
I read on several sites, including this one I think, that it might be a software issue. I tried flashing to a stock recovery rom with Odin but that didn't do any good.
the weird thing is, I can get into the recovery menu, and let it sit there for hours, so the phone IS receiving power from the charger. it just wont charge!
I took apart the phone to check out the solder on the connector, everything looks perfect. I even sprayed it out with electronics cleaner spray.
I'm not sure what else I can do besides get a new battery, but I mean, this one is brand freakin' new!
What exactly does this battery icon mean? I can't find any info on it or anything.
btw, I still can boot into android, but it instantly dies.
thanks for any help!
I had the same issue about a month after I got my note II. I ended up having to take it back to the sprint store. They ordered a new one for me and I swapped it out once it arrived. It didn't cost a thing and I had a backup phone to use while my phone was dead. Check with your local store and see what they can do for you.
I bought my phone from ebay (new) so I dont think that will work : (
some updated info though, I charged the batter using a friends note 2, and it charged fine. I stuck it in my note 2 and plugged in the charger.
it says its charging on my phone. I get the charging symbol and everything, but it just doesn't charge. I'm really starting to think this IS a software issue. maybe I should try a custom rom.
Factory reset could help.

Like I said, I have tried many chargers. my Asus motherboard has a header for a 2 amp usb port for charging devices. that doesnt work either.
I have tried my friends note 2 charger and that doesn't work. my battery charges fine in his phone.
my port is working fine for data transfer. my phone shows up in odin as well.

Note that at stock the phone kernel is not written to make actual use of a 2A Usb line. IIRC stock kernel limits to sub 1A.

I have exactly the same problem: phone starts loading..I see a grey battery icon with a loading circle, then just for 2-3 seconds the green icon
and finally it stops. I have tried everything..differents charger, computer, and have seen posts with people with that problem but noone says how it finally was solved. Any help?
Same here
I have Gummy ROM 4.4.4 installed everything works fine except charging the phone while powered off results in the grey battery icon freeze
About a week ago, I flashed to the Beanstalk 4.2 JB rom. And found that while running the rom, I began suffering from real odd battery patterns.
I had two wall chargers and a USB cable to my computer, when I connected my phone to them, it would say that it was charging, but instead, it'd just drain the battery.
Using my 4.1 AOKP rom simply a few days ago, I never had a problem as weird as this. All my chargers worked on my phone, including the USB.
The only time I could charge my battery properly was to have to phone completely off.
So after a week, a few days ago, I flashed the SlimBean Rom in hopes I'd get a different experience from 4.2.
Now things got really weird. The phone would start repeatedly flashing that it was charging and not charging. Battery would still drain, what's worse is after calibration yesterday, I tried charging my phone while it was off. The battery during this charging process, said it was full. So I turned on the phone, and found my battery at 15%.
But this weird behavior isn't all the time, just now I plugged in my phone while on, using my wall charger. And right now it's acting fine. The question is, when and why is it doing something weird?
I'm not sure why this is happening. Everything was fine until 4.2 a week and a half ago, now my phone is acting like there isn't a consistent way to charge the battery, it's pretty much randomnly taking power and using it while it's connected to a charger.
Does anybody have similar problems with their phone after a flashing? Again, everything was fine when I was using 4.1.

Time for a new battery. Take it out and see if it spins. If it does, your battery is bad. If not, you may have a bad flash or rogue app; try clean flashing your 4.2 ROM and manually installing apps from the play store.

What do you mean by "see if it spins?" Do you mean spin it flat on a table?
Also, I have factory reset and flashed both roms each time. Is that a clean flashing?

yes, spin it on a flat surface. if it spins like a top, its bad. if it doesn't spin, its probably okay.
clean flash (for AOSP) means:
Reboot to recovery
Make a nandroid
Wipe data/Factory Reset
Wipe /cache
Advanced > Wipe /dalvik-cache
Flash ROM
Flash Gapps
Reboot.
I have a new related question:
Is it possible that flashing a rom could damage hardware? Like the battery or something else?
The battery sometimes will not recharge EVEN when the phone's turned off ever since I switched to 4.2. It's become a phone that is insanely unpredictable.
Battery doesn't spin, it's still fairly heavy. I'm a little worried something darker might be effecting my phone now.

Not a ROM issue. I recommend using triangle away to reset the binary counter, then Odin back to stock unrooted fl24 or gb27 and seek warranty replacement.

Same Problem
I am having the same problem with my phone. im running ReVolt JB 4.2.2 6/2/13 ...same weird flashing when connected to charger, battery only charges when its turned all the way off and plugged into a wall charger. Battery is still good doesn't spin...for me its only this rom that gives me trouble.
Everyone's has the 3.0 kernel on 4.2.2 or the 3.4 kernel on 4.2.2?
I've never had any issues on Slim Bean, Liquid Smooth, ChaOS, SuperNexus, Carbon Rom, CM10 WFTN.
On top of that, make sure you're using the original charger and usb cable too because using different types of cables
with the same type of usb port can also be the issue. ( Short, Long, MTP or PTP type for PC's only etc )
Also is your FAST CHARGE ( If supported by the kernel ) on?
Or is your usb cable / plug not connected all the way on both charger and wall port.
It could be a ton of different issues.
My friends wife had a problem when she was using 4.2.2 AOKP.
Turns out her original PLUG was the problem and she was using her husbands Note II plug just to charge the battery but
she still is using the original E4GT usb cable.

The cable shouldn't make a difference in how long it takes to charge unless it's an inferior cable. Note 2 and Epic 4G Touch are both Samsung cables, I can't imagine that they would make the Note's cable inferior to ours
Also, search through these forums and you'll find that the recommended cable for this device, actually is a Blackberry cable.
I had to get a replacement phone because my charging port was fried luckily I had insurance so the replacement phone was free. Initially my charging port was lose and the tech support at sprint tightened it up but it was all down hill from there...just an update to my previous post .... It was a hardware issue not a ROM issue.

Hi, I got a problem with my htc desire z. First, i bought this phone, like week ago, no warranty but 100% working. After few days, i noticed that battery sometimes does not charge, but after moving a cable it was ok, i tried few chargers and i appears to be usb port issue. Few days later i rooted the phone and installed custom rom. Everything was ok, but battery life was horrible - after charging up to 100% phone was up for 4-5 hours with no playing, only sms, calls and some wifi. I flashed another kernel, then yesterday flashed that rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163579
But today after charging to 100% it shut down after like 4h of no use, chaged to 100% again. I unplugged the phone, run Flappy bird and screen went black. Cant boot, cant boot to recovery. When i plug in to computer, red led blinks and adb finds the device as recovery. Please help me guys :crying: I made a backup b4 flashing latest rom so i hope there something i can do.. But maybe its battery dead? Cuz as i said, aprox battery life was 3-5h on every rom, even after recalibration. Hope you can help me. :fingers-crossed:

Considering it's age, you probably need a new battery. Try an Ankers 1600mAh, it's still going great for me.

I will try getting new batery, but i think there is also problem with inphone microusb port.. cuz battery was loading properly only when i deflected the plug-in.
The anker battery is awesome and the price has come way down. You can also often find it with an external charger on the cheap through eBay as your USB port sounds cruddy
If you want to replace the port its about $5 so very cheap but it is soldered to logic board and if you aren't comfortable with fine soldering you will need to pay someone to do this, I would guess about $20
But first peek in at it as sometimes you can see a bent terminal and you can bend it back into place with a toothpick but not always
Best of luck!

Thank you so much for help.. I bought a new battery and it works :victory:
Okay I've had my galaxy S3 for some years now. Randomly I started to have a problem with my battery. It started dying faster and faster. After that a new problem popped up where it would only charge up to a certain point, around 35-50% and then stop. Now i did try many things and i feel like theres is nothing left to try. Im not sure if this is a software or hardware issue as i couldnt figure out the problem. I have tried changer the wall adapter, usb cable, and batteries (all official samsung ones). I even got an external battery charger and charged the batteries there and put them back in my phone. What i noticed is even a full charge on the external battery charger would show as a 35-50% same as when it charges and stops charging through usb. The magic number i noticed is 37% for all batteries, chargers, cables. Slowly this started changing and now it no longer charges properly at all. when plugged into the charger the battery drains completely to 0% on charger and if left overnight will jump to 100%. this 100% doesnt last long however and the cycle continues. Sometimes the phone will die and i plug it to charge and it will be at the 35-50% spot. The only thing i wasnt able to do was test with another s3 as everyone i know is S4 and higher. Any help would be appreciated as upgrading is not an option right now financially.

Need more information. ROM/TouchWiz version, have you tried wiping? clean install? etc.
When the problem first started i was on a custom rom but this was a while back so i dont remember the actual name of the rom. I was running that rom for months brfore the problem started so i doubt it was a rom issue. After dealing with the battery issue for a while i started to get annoyed. So i unrooted and reflashed stock firmware hoping it would help but it didnt. I ran stock for a while. After that i decided to try flashing a custom rom again to see if it would help. Currently im running TMS3KK 3.1 TW 4.4.2 and the problem is still there. I have tried factory resets, wiping everything and even battery calibration apps but nothing seems to help. My battery indicator can go from 100% to 12% just by unplugging the charger. Sometimes my phone would die and den turn back on with like 40% or so. Really can tfigure this out i feel like it might be a hardware issue. Also is *#0228# command useful?

I have the same problem. Try using rubbing alcohol and toothbrush to clean out the USB port. Also take a look at this link to remove corrosion from the port.

I dont think its a port issue as an external battery charger doesnt seem to fix the problem either. Problem seems to be with the phone not reading the right percentage.
I used Kies 3 to reload the firmware to KOT49H.T999VVLUFNH2. Battery is more stable now.
Yea i tried flashing back to stock as well but unfortunately didnt help me.
