I've been having this problem for a month.I usually would use my phone for awhile with 70-8-0% brightness and the phone would stop for a couple of seconds and turn off. I've been using CM 12.1 ,Aospal ,and LG stock 4.4. Usually when I turn my phone on, it'll boot up to the LG splash screen and turns back off. I tried to remove battery and turn it on, not responsive. Try to plug in phone without battery, no battery symbol. When I leave the phone to charge with battery, it heats up. The only solution I tried that works is to put in the refigerator ( I feel pretty dumb). I have sent my phone to LG before and never water damaged or dropped my phone.

Hey Guys,
I am running the Cell Pro 9.5 ROM and since yesterday my phone doesnt turn on.
So this is what happened, I never got a chance to recharge my phone yesterday and so I used it to the very last bit of juice. The phone kept switching itself off with the critical level battery warning and I kept turning it back on. So it got to a point where it wasn't switching on at all. So I pluged in the phone to the computer to charge and left it there for approximately an hour (the orange charging light was on), came back and tried to switch the phone back on and it didnt respond at all. Took out the battery, tried the soft reset button etc and everything else I thought of with no luck. So I plugged it back on and suddently it turned back on, did the boot up, loaded the touchflo and I saw the battery level was at "0" and then suddenly it turned of with a "tuck" sound (similar to a PC when you hold down the power button or turn the power off without shutting down). This has been repeating since then, I have left it plugged in and every 5-10 minutes or so the phone switches on by itself and shows the boot screen, go all the way till HTC animation and powers off suddenly. I have had no luck in turning the phone back on, I dont what is causing the issue - wether its the battery or the phone.
Please give me your thoughts....I am completely lost without my phone...
- issue was that the phone kept restarting as soon as the battery stored enough charge for a reboot. I pulled out the battery at one of the restart cycle as advised below and stopped it from repeating it. After that the phone let the battery charge without a restart, did not mess with it for a long while.
Never let the battery drain all the way down to 0%. Not sure if it affects the battery, but it sure will give you enough hassle that you wont repeat it.

The same thing happened to me last night... but mine works now. what I thought it was is that it kept turning on as soon as it had enough battery to do so then it would die and repeat... So every time it would turn on
I would take the battery out and let it charge some more and then when it quit turning back on I left it overnight and now its on...

Ok....I will try that and report back....
Sorry you pull the battery then the cord then put the battery back in then cord. Also it will take a lot longer if you charge it on the computer.
Never mind mine quit working again...

I managed to get it charging after pulling out the battery and putting it back again. Charged it through a computer cause i dont have my charger with me.
I turned it on and the battery said 40% and now every second or so it is dropping by 1%. I can literally watch it dropping down sitting here. The phone doesnt want to charge when it is on. I plug in the usb and the LED turns orange and then turns off. Now the battery is at 25%, This is litterally in about a minute or less. I dont know whats wrong, is it the Battery?
I had this exact same thing happen to me twice on previous HTC hardware (wizard). The first time I couldn't save it and just had to buy a new battery. However, the second time it happened I was able to resurrect it once I got it plugged into a higher-current charging source, like the wall charger it came with, or even most car chargers (that's how I saved it when I couldn't get to my wall charger). I had to let it sit on there for about an hour before it held enough charge to stay on, and another 2 hours before it was fully charged, but it worked just fine after that.
You battery may indeed be toast from what you describe. I have had the experience of totally discharging the battery and the device not coming on at all. I recommend that if you do this, you should fully charge it using the wall charger NOT the computer (if the computer works at all. it didnt in my case). I have done this a few times now and the battery turned out fine each time.

Thanks.....
My issue seamed to be fixed. I had to rely on a computer as I didnt have access to my charger and by the time I did my phone was at approximately 65% charge. I plugged it in and charged it all the way to 100%. Replugged it and left it for a little more while to make sure it got charged completely. I have been using it since today morning 9am and now it is 2pm at 73% after couple of calls, messages and emails.
Few more charging cycles with the wall charger and I am hoping it will be back to normal.
Last night power went off in my neighborhood so i depleted the battery to 0% since i wasnt able to charge my phone, power went back and i plugged the charger but the phone was dead, i thought battery was totally depleted so i left if overnight , when i woke up it still didnt turn off, i swapped batteries with my friend , the phone booted, i placed my original battery again and surprise! it was charged ... funny,
Quickly i realized that if i stop using the phone and the screen turns itself off the phone turns down without vibrating or anything, if i plug it to my computer it shut downs abruptly too, if i try toi turn it on with the battery plugged in it wont turn on, i manually deleted the batterystats thinking they could be messed up, no luck, i did a factory reset , no luck, i tried booting in recovery mode and as soon as the android image with the android bot lay down appears it turns itself off, now im really scared , i dont know what to do, i live in Venezuela and the warranty does not apply here, also the repair centers suck, i had my motorola milestone butchered here
Having major problems with my G3; started last night. I noticed that my phone was on the LG boot splash screen and was unresponsive. I reseated the battery and it seemed to be working fine after that. However a couple hours later it was completely dead. If I reseat the battery and turn it on now, The LG screen comes up for a couple seconds, then shuts off. Never get the Verizon screen. I tried to do a factory data reset on it, and get the menu but once I select Yes, the phone goes back to the LG screen for about 2 seconds then shuts off. I got it to go into TWRP once, but it shut off before I could do anything with it. It'll boot into download mode, and my system detects the COM port, but almost immediately the phone shuts down. The phone was running fine before this happened. Any thoughts? I'm really scratching my head over this one.
TLDR:
- phone rebooted last night, won't boot now. Keeps shutting off before I can get anywhere.
Sprint too
Same thing happened to my Sprint G3 on Saturday. Had over 90% battery and was texting a friend back and forth. I put it in my pocket and about 20min later when I took it out it was dead and wouldn't power back on. I took the battery out and put it back in hit the power button and the LG splash screen comes on, then phone dies and can't get a response from the power button. I can do that over and over, but it never gets past the splash screen. Tried to get into recovery, but when I do, buttons are unresponsive and then it just turns off.
Stock ROM, never rooted.

I don't think this is a battery issue. I have 2 batteries and the problem persists using either one. The first is the original battery that came with the phone and the second is an LG stock battery purchased through LG in April (only 3 months ago).
Update 7/12
I followed kp263's advice and ordered a new battery. Put it in the phone and plugged the charger in for a bit and..... same problem. Won't boot past the splash screen. Just turns off.
This is more than just a battery issue. Hopefully I can return the new battery I purchased.
Hey everyone,
I was using facebook while my G3 was charging and it suddenly turned off and since then it's not turning on. I've tried everything I could but unfortunately nothing has helped. There is no display and it seems like my phone is dead. A positive note is, when I put it on charge, display comes for just 2-3 seconds and it shows the phone is charging but then it disappears too and nothing happens. One of the repairman suggests that it's motherboard is not working anymore but to this I disagree cause if that was the case, the phone won't show a display even for a second? Please if anyone could help me. Thanks!
DId you try leaving the phone on a charger for a few hours? Maybe the phone needs a new battery?
Yeah I've tried 3-4 new batteries too, still it doesn't work. But one thing that's happening now is my phone is turning on, but it reboots (or turns off sometimes) when reaches the home screen or just before that. Same is happening when I enter into download mode.
I have a LG G3 D851 from T-Mobile. I had it from about two years now. It upgraded to Android M about a year ago and now the phone won't charge or turn on. I tried everything. First I tried to hard reset' but nothing. Next I tried refrigeration. The phone would start up and go to homescreen, but then freeze and shut off. I even bought a new battery, but it would still have the same problem. Sometimes tne phone would start and shiw that screen on but nothing on it, and it would also turn on and turn off then show the led flash red and blue. When I charge it, it would show the battery loading up and shut down, then the phone would keep restarting. Like I said, tried every thing. If anyone could help me that would be great.
Thanks

I would start with replacing the battery. It has been a wbile since i have had a g3 but this was a common issue. The batteries were known to bassicly just keel out
The solution is a simple one.
1 remove battery
2 connect charging cable (I am not kidding)
3 power in the phone
4 the phone will try to boot
5 it will fail to boot or maybe it will boot
6 insert battery while the charging cable is still attached
7 power the phone
8 the phone will boot and show 100% battery
9 reboot phone
The next video shows my phone working without the battery...
