What is "Battery Fake Mode" ?? - LG Optimus G (International)

Hi guyz. Today I was checking my Optimus G's service menu using 3845#8975#and there I found a something in "Settings>Battery>Battery Fake Mode" which is switched off by default. I just switched it on due check the feature and I noticed when I turn on that feature my battery get stuck at 75% (it was 49% when switched off) and never change that. Upon switch it off I returned to my regular battery percentage i mean 49%. I just want to know what is the feature and what does it actually do?
Pardon me for my bad English. Any reply will be appreciated.

Anyone??

I know this is old but i would guess it would allow you to take the battery out an trick the phone into thinking there is battery in the device, this way you can use the phone on mains power same way you can with most laptops when you remove the battery and leave it plugged in.

battery issue

hi guys,
i just checked out my ARTE160 battery. when i checked out the output voltage, i found that its 3.95~4.2 v when full charged. i jus checked this out with a multi meter. the battery is designed for 3.7v only, so does this mean there is a prob???
thx guys
I'm not a pro, but I think this means that everything is alright with the battery. I would rather worry if the voltage was below 3,7 V - that would definitely mean a problem.
well i find wat u say is logical but still im having some small prob in my phone.....
it keeps working well and suddenly the phone service alone wont work and gets hanged (means no calls and sms) after couple of mins mobile just researches the network and joins.
the prob is when this thing happens and someone calls me the call is ringing but i dont get any ring or alert in my mobile.......
also sms is not delivered kater but is lost completely......
i jus looked out somewhere that these probs may be due to battery........

I had to get a new battery and performed a hard-reset on my phone and all was well after that. make sure you have a back-up on your numbers....

I've just chcecked the output voltage of my battery - when 45% charged - the voltage was 3.82 V.
in my opinion, your problem has nothing to do with the battery. I had same problem that you described - I switched to WM6 from WM5 - it did the trick.
now it hangs very seldom.
I guess that would help you (at least if you're using WM5).
oh but im using 6.1 at present
its TOM'S ROM.....
...
*for battery issue;
buy a new battery and
charge <----- device must be off!...
when green led light shows, its done..
this should sort your battery issue..
* for issue with - ''suddenly the phone service alone wont work and gets hanged..''
try a hard reset, if it still happens, open the device - open through the back of the device and simply give it a clean, ensure all connections are connecting, in other words, scratch the pins inside device if they need it.. assemble correctly and hope this helps..
-use cotton buds, the ones you use to clean your ears with..
-use a pin/needle to scratch connections..
*sounds like a hardware issue, not rom issue so cleaning inside the device is recommended..
*I've fixed my p3300 plenty of times now by just simply cleaning inside it.
- including the ''not charging'' and ''no sim'' issue people have experienced..
Not charging
HI Geeks, I have a problem with my blackstone battery. It is getting charged only up to 50 to 55 percent. I kept on charger for one ful night. But no use. I am using official ROM. Can you suggest any solution for that?
Help PLZ
I tired both the charger and the USB cable. Still the problem remains.
A new problem
Now i am facing a new problem. When i switch off the Touch HD, it will not start. When i press the power button, it shows "Smart Mobility" then it will go off. I tried once and pressed the power button again. It lasted some more time, reaching to the HTC logo screen.
Then I Connect the phone using the usb cable to the desktop and press the power button. WOW. it started without any problem. Can you help me to get around this problem?

[Q] Sudden shutdowns

Hi! I was wondering if this is normal for the GNexus:
When my phone is out of battery, it shuts down in the act, like suddenly the screen goes off and that's it, no "Shutting down..." message or whatever.
I used to have a Moto Defy and it didn't turn off that way... actually... none of my past phones did, but this is happening to me with GNexus since I bought it, with stock ROM, so I never really cared (now I am).
I'm using CM11 now with stock kernel but as I said before, this happens to me since I bought it so I don't think is ROM/Kernel-related.
I don't think it's good for the phone to shutdown that way... so if there's a way to fix it please share it with me.
Oh and BTW... if I hold the power button and then select "Turn off..." it shuts down "correctly" (with the "Shutting down..." message).
And just in case... I'm not saying that my battery drains too quickly or something like that, I'm just asking if is it normal to shutdown that way when the battery is empty.
I don't think it's normal, it should still show shutting down message, but then again I rarely let the battery go down to 7%, usually get it on the charger after the 14% left low battery warning.

Well... is not like I'm doing it on purpose... after some time my battery starts to show the % the wrong way, so sometimes it shuts down before reaching 10 or 15% (for example).
Thanks for sharing your experience!

[Q] [q] Hard bricked? Won't turn on, won't connect, small signs of life

Hi,
I turned my phone off last night before going to sleep, it had 40% battery left. When I tried to turn it on this morning it didn't do anything. Even when trying to charge it the LED did not light up.
the only sign of life I got out of it was a screen with the "battery charging", looked like it was charged around 50%. However, it did not, and still does not respond to the hardware keys...
Any solutions? Or am I simply out of luck.
Extra info:
Stock rom, rooted.
Already had some sort of problem described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/help/phone-freezes-awake-stock-custom-rom-t2908503
Thanks in advance!
May be you should try wiping data (lock screen & stuff) from samsung online site (if you have registered).. Not sure if it work.. Just a suggestion..
Somehow I don't have any registered devices.. (I did register it though, just because of the dropbox storage bonus)
Edit: My device randomly booted up, had it plugged in to the charger all day (about 6 hours), 47% charged right now.
going to make a backup using titanium and flashing stock via odin, see if it helps.
This is reaaally weird though... :silly:

[Q] Battery, touch and power off

Hi guys,
starting from about a week ago I'm experiencing some problems with my Galaxy Grand Duos.
All has begun with the touch screen: when I try to trace the unlock sequence it seems to lose the contact with the finger so I've to try more and more times. Also with the normal use of the touch with other apps it is not working as before.
Now it's from a couple of days that the phone, with a battery charge of more than 80%, suddenly automatically power off.
When I try to turn on the phone it turns off again and again, and the battery level of charge seems to be randomly generated each time.
If I'm connected to a wifi network, after a random times of reboot it restart to work, always with battery level and touch issues.
Otherwise if it's using 3G data battery lows down to 2-3% and the phone can not stat anymore on and turns off.
Battery consumption app doesn't show anything strange: screen 29%, multimedia 18%, play services 14%, Android OS 13% and so on.
The Android version is the original 4.2.2, kernel 3.0.31-1226815. The phone has never been flashed or customized.
I'm thinking about replacing the battery, but I'm in doubt how it can be related to the touch screen issue. Can you help me?
Can I use EB-L1G6LLUCSTD battery, which is for SIII but is 2100mAh as EB535163LU?
Thank you all in advance!

Touch screen issue is directly related to your battery. Take a good look at your battery to see if it's swelled. When the battery is swelled the phone tend to bend a bit because of the pressure, hence the touch sensitivity goes haywire.
Remove the back cover while the phone is turned on (don't remove battery) and see if touch issue is still there. My guess is, you have to replace your battery, If mentioned battery fit's your grand and voltage is the same, there's no doubt you can use it.

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...
