Hi,
Today I was using my phone as usual, battery was about 75%, then suddenly while I was using Whatsapp the screen went totally black (I have to add that it has happened before, but I haven't been able to identify what is causing it, it might be Android 4.2,franco kernell and maybe switchpro).
I think it has to do with the brightness control becase the screen still detects the touchs, the phone is certanly working, but with a black screen (Brightness to 0% maybe?) so after I remove the battery it boots fine.
But this time, when it was restarting the phone I noticed the battery went down to 20% from 75%! That's impossible to happen (Phone would have melted) because the restart time was under 5 min!
What is more strange is that the phone stayed with 20% for a very long time, it even "autocharged" itself (I know it's impossible)...
What could it be? Help appreciated!
Thanks
Setup is:
Gnex 4.2.1 stock
TWRP recovery (last version)
Franco Kernel 342

yap, I have two gnexs both have had this problem.
I can get a screenshot with vol-down + power
but the screen is totally black.
Yeah I've had this screen of death issue too. I've been trying forever to diagnose what is causing the problem. It happens on any kernel including stock. I factory reset, flashed stock images, everything.
I've narrowed it down to the weather channel app, Adobe flash, csipsimple app, or animations being turned off. Still trying to nail it...
i not have restaert using apk franco updater and set :good:
The sudden battery drop is normal when you pull out the battery. Basically, the phone loses it's calibration on the battery capacity. And that " auto charge" is your phone slowly trying to get a better estimate of your phone battery capacity.

I believe that SODs are a common problem faced by many on 4.2 i personally havn't faced it yet =] running arhd with ak kernel
I was able to reproduce this using Velis Auto Brightness https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS52ZWxpcy5hdXRvLmJyaWdodG5lc3MiXQ
After messing with the brightness it wents black screen.
I'm sure this has to do with the autobrigtness!

the battery losing charge, and the "autocharge", i see often across many devices. that happens to me when flashing different things over a short time period or when benchmarking and crashing its really not losing the charge, it just thinks it did. the batterystats file becomes inaccurate fairly often, maybe it corrupts. and the autocharge or ghostcharge(usually pretty slow btw) is the batterystats slowly becoming accurate again.

I think you just helped me pin it on animation off. I have had the black screen happen to me 3 times in the 3 days that I disabled animations (stock rooted ROM, developer options). I kept trying to find an app that caused it but the animation off matches the start of my problem.
EDIT: Well, animation off isn't the cause since I just had another black screen.

Totally agree with you!happened to me many times too,especially when crashing after tweaking\benchmarking.
Hello,
I installed a few days ago some custom ROMs and I have a huge problem. A huge battery drain. At first it was good almost 2-3 days with only texting, but a few days ago it started to go mad. The bettery fully charged last 17-20 hours turned off(sleep) with EVERYTHING turned off. If i use the phone even for a bit if i get 4h is good.
Tried to wipe and flash different ROMs and the same thing.
Also, if i want to go back to original, what do i need to do? I can't find something around, but maybe i'm just blind.
Thank you
LE: I installed the original soft 4.0.4 (but for Arc S Lt18i ftf ) ... and i still have this huge battery drain .. any ideeas?
Just from my experience, you can try Ultimate HD rom of jader13254 from thread below together with kernel lupus v6. I installed this rom for my arc, with daily use I can get 2-3 days or even 4 days.

maybe your sd is screwed somehow and the media scanner is keeping the cpu busy... try using an app like wakelock detector or betterbatterystats to find out what is eating your battery. try removing your sd and see if it helps, to exclude an sd problem.

since u tried different roms and the problem still exists then its not rom/kernel related issue ,, I guess (like keen36 said) that its probably sd card related problem , i had this problem some days ago and it turned out that some corrupted files were the problem so i just deleted them simply and then the problem was solved ,, see if you have some corrupted files or if u're not sure just format your SD card << hope I helped
any update in this thread? i have the same problem

install stock ics ftf (dont change , no mods , no root & use for atleast 1 day), if still battery drain its some HW issue (try format SD & dotn put old files on it, also may battery is dead)

So hey just a quick question if someone could help i'd love them forever...
So my Xperia S(lt26i) is having issues with draining its battery completely and utterly in a very short time. It loses 50% overnight(8-9 hours approx) and it didnt really do it before. I have a brand new battery in it, i did a factory reset and i just cant seem to figure out why its draining its battery like this. If i restart it, it instantly drops like 3-5 % on the spot. I'm running Carbon rom beta10, i havent overclocked it or anything. Can somebody tell what causes it? Is it some setting, or what?
Thanks in advance!

The v10 has some battery issues. You could try v11 but it has fc issue. You can temporarily solve the battery drain problem of v10 by using this method.

Thanks for the quick reply i'm already trying it out btw what is "fc"?
Edit: The software you linked doesnt seem to find anything, its getting crazy, it only sees the same analogclock-widget thingy receiver for all the running stuff.
Edit2 : installed beta 11 did the service kills(somehow dropped my battery from 50 to 1%) i hope now its going to work properly, im starting to rage here. But thanks for the tip and the help, much appreciated!

Fc means Force Close" . It happens to apps when they suddenly stop responding and give an error.
Huh! Weird! It worked fine for Me on beta 10!
You didn't need it on beta 11 because from what I read, that problem was solved in this version and even I'm getting much normal battery life. And that is one massive drop! Did You check in settings what caused it?
Thanks again for the reply, somehow even beta 11 didnt solve it for me but the fresh install cleared out that buggy service so i could do the service kill, it works now properly, battery dropped ~10% overnight, although it did just drain itself for no reason in a few hours(just turned itself off again after some chrome update-.-) i hope i't wont start to do it again now, im gonna go nuts.
Hi guys,
I have updated my phone via LG flashtool, i did a full wipe, and installed a totally stock Marshmallow.
I have used Fulmics ROM based on Lolli.
I feel like the phone's battery doesn't last longer, maybe even worse but maybe it should need more time with that ROM.
I watched a 10 min youtube video and the phone got really hot, unlike on 5.0.
Is that normal, should I wait (second or third time i charhed since the update), or should i look for another kernel maybe?
I rooted and have twrp, should i remove some apps? Already killed Mcafee.
Despite that the phone is fast.
Thank you!
i think its mm issue. every mm rom that i tried always has that bug. no matter what its( custom rom or stock mm). i am using miui 7 for now. waiting for that issue solved first.
---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------
and btw few days ago i flashed stock mm from autoprime. flashed with twrp and i think battery life is better than lollipop. i can get 6h sot easily. but theres overheat issue. idk if thats bug or our hardware created for that. jajaja
6 hours sound so great. I have 2 hours and 45 minutes and 32% left which is about 4 hours sot, but i use wifi only.
i also noticed that even if i close the apps via close all, settings says f.e. facebook is still running.
i will wait, maybe it just needs some time. i read a hungarian forum, everybody loves MM, but i feel bad about the heating problem.
Maybe LG changed throttling settings and this is the simple reason. Maybe it is ok with the hardware but i also read that a lot of people have battery issues (i have abrand new (couple weeks), original battery now).
Idle battery drain seems to be significant, on Fulmics it was close to zero.
double

Yes I use it.... I just want my phone to do what I say, not what it thinks. If i close the app I want it to be closed. Hope that it will get better.

Hi
After quite a bit of hassle, finally managed to get 15.1 and Gapps running on myZ2, latest lineage 17 November
Battery life is worse than awfull, 10% down in about 30 mins, with almost no apps running, greenify on for checking, just reddit and browser basically
So what's up? As with such a bad drainage i would have thought people were screaming, but haven't seen any posts on this
I have a motomod battery fixed a, sadly hadn't realised these weren't used by lineage ot i wouldn't have flashed....
Any ideas?

Battery mods should work on all ROMs built for Nash. My screen time is double what you're saying. I get roughly 6-7hrs screen time

I get great battery life on every ROM I've ran on this phone. 15.1 now for weeks with an average of over 8 hours of SOT
Hi
Your answer made me think
I unplugged the battery mod. Straight away the phone showed me that my internal battery was empty, strange...
Tried charging it, always showing empty... Stranger still
So I switched off the phone and started charging it, a couple of mins later, it showed 100%, bug in software somewhere....
I also charged the battery mod while unplugged, and then plugged it to the phone
Went into motomods in settings and restarted the mod
All seems perfectly normal now
It seems when flashing the rom with the mod plugged in confused the settings, might be better to unplug it so that the soft doesn't get confused
Many thanks
Minty95
PS : running the 18 nov update, the LED (white colour) sometimes on, how to switch it of or modify the settings ? haven't found the notifications settings yet

There is a known issue. Don't reboot the phone with your battery mod plugged in. The system will recognise it as the main battery. Plug it in after fully booting.

There is. Motorola didn't utilise it. In aosp, it is enabled.
Seams like I got to install a custom rom then,but first I got to read a lot about this device and how-to's before I try. Would like to get the led
The Z2 works far better with lineage than the stock rom, though it was a hassle getting it up and running
Still haven't managed to get trwp to stay
Sometimes the led is in though not for long and haven't figured out what switches it in
Battery Motomod works great, am very pleased with it so far

for twrp to stick, after you flash the rom, and before you reboot.. You need to flashthe twrp.zip.. The reboot into recovery, the boot system...
Think I tried that and got stuck in trwp, maybe I'll try again, though tired of reinstalling everything
Especially now all is just great, (exept the trwp)
I've got magisk installed but haven't learnt how to use it yet, as apparently it can install trwp also
