Hello all:
I got myself an LG G3 and I have a Zerolemon 9K battery and when I put my phone to charge and I use it for things like Facebook or Kik, I notice the battery lowers instead of charging more, right now I had 77% and in 2 minutes it is now 74%. I am using the factory charger and cable plus it also happened a few times with the stock battery any ideas? Bug? Still charging even if it says otherwise?
EDIT: Did a reboot...58% now from 70%

Hey XDA, I just purchased a new AT&T SGS3 and I'm having some issues with the battery on the phone.
When I charge the phone overnight it charges to 100% then when I unplug it, the battery drops tremendously in about 5 seconds down to anywhere from 50%-75%. I tried manually recalibrating the battery by charging it 8+ hours, removing the battery, charging again while off, charging it again while on, then restarting. That seemed to work for one charge and the battery acted the way that it would have on my Nexus S.
However charging it again after a full battery drain, the same thing happened.
Also when the phone is low on battery, it displays the normal battery messages, but then the screen stays on, draining the battery faster.
Solutions? I want the root the phone, but only after I have these issues sorted out. (I'm still under warranty right now)

Did you try a reset of the phone through the settings ? After that try charging to 100% then drain completely and then recharging without break then use the phone mormally and try to recharge only when it hits 10% remaining for the next 2 or 3 charge cycles and see if that helps

Good question bro.. LG has Rapid Chargers.. but they shipped only regular one.. I did not look at specs, so thanks for posting. I also noticed it crawls on charging. I fond my Galaxy Note charger charging faster than the stock G3
Heya, so i know there are threads about charging and other battery problems, but mine seems to be different.
My tablet was used in car almost always on charger, and after almost 2 years such usage battery was low capacity, and one day i noticed it wont charge at all, after turning on tablet battery 0% and shuting down. Indicator shows charge icon, but wont charge.
So i purchased new battery, installed it, battery was @ 56%, so i ran battery benchmark and played some games, wow those 56% lasted 2x longer than old 100% battery. So after it was below 10% i pluged in charger, indicator shows charging so i left it for some time, and after checking tablet i saw it wont charge ((
Same problem a with old battery... Anyone have ideas? May it be charging port?
Hi,
Did u charge it when on or off? And did u try other charger?
Yes used original,and lg chargers. It doesnt matter the tablet is on or off.
When turned off, and connect: screen go on showing battery, after that battery shows green at the bottom of battery and turns screen off after few sec. Pressing home button shows battery again. But as it dont charge it always shows green at the bottom of battery. When turned on simply battery shows 0 or 1% and turns off after a while.
Anyways, ordered new charging port as they are cheap. Will post outcome
Afraid that can be motherboard fried or somethink as before that happened tablet was ON with gaming bot running for like 24 hours.
Installed new charging port board, but wont help ((
I'll try to change ROMs and battery and I change cable and battery keeps falling. And when to my brother drain 3% and to me drain 2x or more. What I need to do? Now I have Xeon ROM, before this I'll try fulmics ROM and stock ROM. And battery drain faster Always. And the problem with the charger started just a few days ago. And sometimes it works out, but it has reached the level that it charges 11% in half an hour(The Phone is Turn off) !!! Then I changed cable and it improved a bit, but still makes trouble

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!
