First I wan't to apologizes about my English - it's not my native language.
My girlfriend bought the phone before 2 days and when she turned it on it has 50% battery. Yesterday before she went to sleep she has like 5-10% battery and put it on the charger. Today it wasn't charged even a percent. She try other plug and it was the same. Finally when the device turn off because of no battery she said that it started to charge.
Is that normal or we need to replace it?
No it's not. Replace the phone by warranty.

I had this problem: my phone (Arc S) died saying it had low battery (even though I had checked it just a minute ago with 25% still left).
I tried to charge it but nothing happened for 30 minutes.
I knew that taking out the battery and reinserting it after a while usually fixes this but this time it did't help. The phone could not be started and it wouldn't charge either.
Solution: Borrow a friends battery (if he/she has the same phone ) or buy a cheap one of the Internet (there are batteries for about 4 dollars).
Put the new battery in your phone and start it. Turn it off and quickly put the "dead" battery in again and insert the charging cable and it will charge and function as before!
My humble guess is that the charged battery leaves some juice in the phones circuits that stays there for a while and can help a "dead battery" charge again.

No that's a workaround/patch to 0% battery issue caused by downgrading firmware from 2.3.4 to 2.3.2.
I've never downgraded! This problem is rather from the phones difficulties sensing the batteries power level correctly.
Thanks anyway!
So I've been having issues with battery life and my charging.
When I woke up this morning my phone was at 1%. I went ahead and played with it till it died. I kept it turned off and let it charge for about 2.5 hours or so. I would think that it would be close to fully charge. The battery charging icon when phone was off made it seem that way, but when I turn my phone on it's only at 40%. I turn it back off and let it charge for another 1.5hr while i'm at the gym. Come home to find that it's only charged up to 46% since then.
This is a brand new, official samsung battery. Came with the Samsung spare battery charger. Similar things have happened with a 2nd spare battery i've bought. None of these issues happened when I was using my original battery though.
Do you think it's the phone or the battery itself? I'm leaning towards phone
Hey Guys,
i got my ZL 3 or 4 weeks ago, and can say it´s absolutly awesome, but since ca. 2 weeks, i have a problem with my battery. The problem begun, as i found my battery completely discharged, so i put it on the charger. But it didn´t charge the whole night. In the next morning it startet to charge, i waited till 100% an took it off the charger. Over the day, i watched the battery drain, and it was more than normal, the battery went empty, after a 5 or 6 hours with 95% standby time. At home i charged the phone again up to 100%, ab pluged it off, the next morning, the battery had lost not a single percent off its charge. So i went to work, with the phone in my pocket. A little later the phone got really hot, i pulled it out and, found the battery with only ca. 55%, so i turned off the phone. 45 minutes later, i turned it on again, and the battery had only 27% left. And so it goes on the next days, with more or less battery drain, some days the battery holds 10 hours perfectly, and at some other days it only holds 4 hours and less. And now the charging procedure have problem too, when i charge the phone via USB, it charges unbelieveble slow, and even discharges sometims , but when i charge it with the power adapter, it charges unbelieveble fast, you can watch the percentage rise in minutes. I tried the STAMINA modus but, it didn´t help at all, and the screen is on the lowest brightness.
And i have too say, i don´t have any apps activ, and 3G is only on for a few seconds sometimes.
The phone isn´t rooted, or everything else, it´s completyly stock.
I hope someone experienced any similiar problem, and have a solution for me, because it´s an awesome phone and i didn´t want to miss it.
(Sorry for my not so good english)
Yours faithfully
Tim
Context:
My dear LG G4 started having some battery issues this summer: it would sometimes turn off at around 15%, usually if I tried using the camera app. It would turn back on, at <10%. Left idle, it would actually increase the battery %.
About 1 month ago (maybe a bit more), the problem started to increase: it would turn off at ~40% - but not always, rarely. Last week, this happened everytime. Sometimes it would turn on back with ~5%, sometimes with 30%. Anyway, weird behaviour.
So I decided to buy a new battery. Can't be sure it's 100% genuine, but reviews say it should be fine (looks 99% like the old one).
Hoping it would finally solve my issues, I put the new battery in the phone. 5% charged - well, it's new, ok, np -> charge it to 100% and then go out to lunch.
The drain was awful, in less than 30 minutes it was at 75% (moderate usage at most). When it hit 74% it turned off. Problem is, this won't even turn back on. Got back to the office, plugged in charger - battery still reported 74%, phone turned on. Disconnected the charger, 1 minute later, phone turns off.
It's like when it hits 74%, it stops working.
Any ideas? Phone is still in warranty for a month, but not sure if this kind of problem is covered.
It's also my second G4, first one was replaced due to bootloop in summer 2016.
Download Accubattery app from Play Store, for the old battery , check it's health, repeat for the new battery.
My 2.5 year old LG G4 still has bad battery life because you know the SD 808 heats up quickly specially on hot summers or while charging, the battery's no1 enemy would be heat! So with the help of the app , I found the battery health had depreciated to 69% of it's 3000 mAh (that is 2069 mAh ) If your battery is new , I think your battery health should be 90%-100% in the Accubattery app!
Buy a new battery its done
Very odd ever since the phone died since it was really cold out ( i left it in car for a few seconds and looked at my phone and it was dead ) its been shuting off or dieing around 10% left but drains normally. but can still turn it back on once its plugged into a wall charger. so im not sure on what to do cause i mean i only had it for a year now.
it happens with mine too, 2-3 weeks ago.
I had 40%+ and after few sec, was dead too.
I turn it on with 1% battery lol
was thinking of letting it die once then letting it cable charge not fast charge saw a video for an older phone to do that with some call code to reset the battery gauge

I have the same problem since a few weeks.
The percentage drops from 15% to zero.
Mine was a bit different, I was in 13% and then when I plugged in the cable to charge my phone, it showed I was actually in 6%. My friends, our phone is aging
Since it became cold outside I'm having the same problem
Yes
I had this problem with my Galaxy A5 2016 and now with my Galaxy S9...
Never go under 10% if you can't charge within 1 minute or better less. That's why I have a battery case.
So I think I fixed mine a video is for a note 4 ut I think it worked for mine also. Make sure your phone is almost dead and turn off fast charging then go to the phone dial up (built in app) and dial *#0228# and click the quick start (this will restart your battery gauge) let it die then charge to full might take longer but it's worth it.
