No need to wait till 100%. Press that and change it to calibrate any time. Now go ahead with calibration. All the best.

Battery Problem
Guys
I updated my GD to 4.4.4 CM11 and everything is working ok except for one detail.
I carry my cell phone and start using normal, if not shut down or restart, but if I turn off or restart
sometimes ends when rebooting the battery for example was 74% back to 39%.
This has happened to me a few times, i already reinstalled the ROM, calibrated the battery but the problem remains.
Do you have any experience or story about this behavior?

In standby overnight, maybe 3-5% battery drain. A lot of things come in play though such as what apps you have installed, if your on LTE, or 3g, or wifi, or even go into airplane mode at night, etc.

first of all , I'd like to thank you for your reply ..
I've bought a new desire 816 two days ago and I can notice something wrong with the battery as it drains faster than normal
and it gives false percent as it increases after restarting the phone ..
I've tried to calibrate the battery by letting in turn off by itself then recharging it to 100% but then I realized It's still giving me false number
I don't know what to do ... It would be great if you can help

Have you tried a battery calibration app such as the one by NeMa in the PlayStore? It requires root but it basically asks you to charge your device to 100% which is done from empty to max in about 3 hours. At this point you go in the app while its still plugged in and "clear" the batterystats. This is the file that tells the device how much charge it can hold and on some devices this file gets buggy/glitched. It will wipe this file away and generate a new one based on the charge the battery holds at max. It then asks you to use the device as normal until it dies and recharge to full afterwards. This has worked for many and I hope it will work for you as well.
If you have excessive battery drain look at the Power settings and review the usage. If it shows a green line on awake and it doesn't show the same matching the screen on time then you have a background app sucking battery from the device. Facebook and its Messenger are known to be the culprits but if you download Greenify from the PlayStore. It will allow you to hibernate practically every app so there is no battery drain when your device screen is off. In combination with this app I am able to get an average day and a half of use with no charge and normal use with Videos, Music, Facebook, Messenger; etc. I average I use about 6-10 hours on this device with pure stock w/ root & Greenify with battery calibration via app done.

Yes, Greenify does require root in order to work but it does work flawlessly.

I fixed my battery issue. the exposed software killed mine relating to the same issue i believe you had or have. reporting wrong percentage. once had 50 percent, took it back out of my pocket and within 5 mons i had 4%. wouldnt charge.
Power it off... hold all 3 buttons (power+volume up+volumedown) after 15 seconds it will boot back up. this calibrated my battery. hope this works for you.

Wrong battery percentage report is fixed by HTC on 1.58 rom update. it works fine on 1.58 Rom

My battery on my htc is draining fast I think it went from 100% to 83% percent in like 20 minutes is this normal? I have disabled everything that I'm able to disable on this phone but once it gets to 70% the drainage kinda slows down

TAB S 8.4" Very Very Weird Problem need help

So my TAB S is a few months old like 3 months now
I only installed few top rated APPS and everything is working fine, i use it to facebook and youtube and reading and some emails, i rarely game on it
2 days ago something very weird started to happen when battery reached 30% the device slowed down and froze up and rebooted on it's own, when it boots up , it forgets the wifi password, and the battery is like 15%
freezes up again after 30 seconds of using , and again reboots, forgets wifi password, battery level is 10% , a minute later same thing battery like 4% HOWEVER
IF I TURN IT OFF ,AND PLUGGED IN THE CHARGER IT SAYS 29% AND CHARGING.... so the battery level from within the OS is not true and it freezes and reboots and upon that forgets the password of the wifi
I DID NOT ROOT IT , I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF IT
now i tried draining the battery all the to 1% and 0% then full charge , and it wroks untill it reaches 30% - 25% then problem all over
if i plug it in the charger and use it , it seems fine
what could be the problem and do i have to factory reset?

[POSSIBLE FIXES] Battery drain 5.1.1

Ever since updating to new Android 5.1.1 I'm having sudden battery drains while on stand by it will often start to warm up and I'll would see a drop in 20% battery in like 5 - 10 mins. And reboot fixes this. But this has been happening for a few days. Its not the WiFi as I have toggled the WiFi off the watch and locations are also off. I have done am factory reset a few times but no use. Any ideas? Or is it possible to reflash the update similar how you can do on android devices via adb?
POSSIBLE FIXES/ SOLUTIONS
I have summarised possible fixes and solutions to the battery drain
1. Uninstall Battery stats app
2. Re install android wear using Sony PC Companion (this worked for me)
3. Disable Google fit (credit to @maniusng)
4. Install previous version of android wear companion app
5. Fix by @Bender_0
Bender_0 said:
My fix:
I think I stopped battery drains, but not discussed in the XDA option.
Settings> Wi-Fi Settings> Wi-Fi Disable
And then in Wi-Fi settings> Advanced> Energy Saving 15 minutes.
See if you solved this to you.

EDIT: POSSIBLE ROOT OF PROBLEM
after doing loads of testing i think i may have found the cause. its the WiFi and its drivers because i have noticed that when my phone gets disconnected and then reconnected later on, during the battery cycle i will have a drain. and if i dont allow my watch to loose connection with my phone and then i would not experience battery drain during that battery cycle.

Try turn off Cloud sync on Android wear app on the phone if you didn't do that. Maybe this is the problem.

Mine has been draining too, cloud on or off

I had this too. The last 20% drained very quick during night in a way it never did before

Had similar issues this weekend. Even tried to use it during a half marathon run and the battery died on me during the race. Even the day before the watch just died on me after maybe 4-5 hours.
Haven't tried disabling cloud sync yet, but have turned off Location and Wifi for now. I also uninstalled a few apps I really wasn't using just in case in the background they were draining battery (even if the battery usage monitor wasn't listing specific apps.) The other thing I did was change back to a stock watch face in case the one I was using was draining battery (it was Minimal and Elegant.) Drain has slowed down, so I need to keep playing around with settings.
My guess is it's tied to apps that weren't ready for the 5.1.1 update, so we'll see if I can determine what I was using that started the drain.

yes checked its off in my phone as well

there is a similar thread of a user seeing what is causing the battery drain and he found out that it is "wear battery stats" as it kept waking the watch. i have unistalled this app and the watch battery seems to be ok. after another battery cycle ill let you know what happens

After receiving the update and it killing my battery from 100% to dead in 6 hrs I charged the battery over night took it off charge at 11 am yesterday and at 4 today I'm at 3 % which is 29 hrs with sync and wi-fi on and I'm using Wear battery stats.The funny thing is my battery before the update would not last even close to what I just got.

Are you using wake screen by wrist movement? It could be a bug in the accelerometer

Yes I do.My battery died around 6:30 I'm going to charge it and see what happens.

Wake screen off.

Have tried the below all while Never having the phone and watch apart more than 2-3 meters:
Wifi off , cloudsync on
Wifi off cloudsync off
wifi off, clousdync off, gestures off
wifi off, clousdync off, gestures off, GPS off
wifi off, clousdync off, gestures off, GPS off + Factory reset (twice)
wifi off, clousdync off, gestures off, GPS off + Factory reset (twice), Cinema Mode
The problem still keeps coming back.
As far as i can tell nothing i do is triggering it.
My next thing to try is to uninstall anything that i can that has a wear app in it, though that's going to be very annoying.

I think most off problems are related to Cloud sync and turning it off will be good for battery. But there is something alse that is draining battery. I had problem with some watchfaces and had to uninstall them day after updating Android wear to 5.1.1. They were killing my watch. Now I am still looking what is draining battery. I'll post my results when I am finished.

Has somebody Google Fit installed and no battery life problems?

I think it could be due to the fact that I have greenifyed the watch faces and watch apps on my phone. I de greenifyed them and I'm gonna check out the battery and keep it updated.

Ok weird.
Uninstall Google fit, battery life is better but I'm still getting Google fit notifications.
It looks like there is a version that ships with the watch by default.... Maybe that's the issue..?

I see no difference but use it like I always have no WiFi

Same here.. I have wear battery stats installed on my computer and I've seen sharp spikes with the battery, up to a 20% drain, that's from 2.33% to 3%. I've done the following with the same issue happening:
1. Went into recovery to clear cache
2. Factory Reset from Watch
3. Removed Wear Mini Launcher
4. Removed all additional watch faces
At first it seemed like it was back to normal.. but then I would get another sharp spike... and at times when powered back up from being dead it would act like the cache was cleared and would start the updating applications before the watch would fully start up. So I went ahead (out of anger) and did the following:
1. Removed all unnecessary applications (Stay Lit Wear was one of them.. possible suspect)
2. Reimaged with Sony PC Compainion 2 (Watch was initially upgraded through ADB)
3. Setup the Watch.
4. Uninstalled updates to Google Play Services on my Phone and reinstalled them back on the phone (thus disconnecting the watch... forcing me to.... )
5. Factory Reset the Watch again.
6. Now that I'm back up and running it seems that my battery is lasting a lot longer... at a drain rate of 1.88%.
Crossing my fingers something in there fixed my issue, and possibly helps someone else.

even after uninstalling wear battery stats, still getting sudden battery drains on idle ambient mode in 10 mins there was a drop of over 20% and it still warms up a lot. I am going to reflash using Sony pc companion.

I hope you guy with battery problem figure it out.Mine is the best It's ever been.

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...
