Hi!
I got this phone and it does have some issues, the device with the original battery will work until about 60% then boot loop, the battery drains pretty fast, so i get 60% in like 1 hour or so. I got a new battery, tested fine on another g3 without issues, in my phone it shows like "7 hours remaining" but drains really fast and the phone shutdowns in 40% and shows the warning sign for a really low battery.
I have tried a lot of factory reset, downgrading to 4.4.2, updating to 5.0, other roms, but its exactly the same issue, so i think is hardware related.
seeing the service manual for this model, it seems to have a "fuel gauge" IC MAX17048, maybe is related to this? idk just shotting randomly with his, but even when charging with another phone and putting the battery on mine it does exactly the same every time.
Does anyone have any idea of what this can be?

Hey guys, my nexus out of the blue started to rapidly deplete its battery. My charge will go from 100%-0 within 2 hours with the screen OFF. Yep, a total screen on uptime of about 13 seconds. I hoped the problem was with the battery itself so I bought a replacement 3800mah extended battery and it's still having the same problem, except now it'll drain in about 4 hours with the screen off.
I tried all the things I could find via search, turning off all syncs and settings I could but nothing improved it. Also I've wiped several times, there's no additional apps installed or anything, just stock. The phone seems to charge normally, taking about the same time as when it worked fine to get to 100%.
I'm guessing it's a hardware issue, but I'm out of warranty on the phone. Any of you experience something similar and was able to replace a part manually, or is my phone prettty much a brick.
Also I should add that there is no service currently on the phone since I had to switch it out, It's pretty much on airplane mode w/ mobile network turned off so it's not looking for a signal or lte draining. Another thing is that the drain is pretty consistent, meaning I could be using the phone or have it off the whole time and it's still going to 0% at the same time.
When I swap the battery in my note 2, it won't power on until I plug it in for a minute even if the battery is charged. Any ideas?
Edit: some more info: I was having bad battery drain on CM10, installed battery doctor. I thought I'd try a new battery as well for the battery drain and started noticing that it wouldn't power on after changing the battery. I formatted, refreshed and installed slimrom 4.3. It looks like I'm getting better battery life, but I have basically nothing installed. I'm still not able to replace the battery without a power cable to "jump start" it. Its almost like the phone doesn't even detect the battery until I plug in a cable.

Update: I don't have any better battery life with slimrom. I'm loosing about 8-9% an hour in standby. About 5% an hour with the phone powered completely off. I have 3 different batteries that all hold charge when out of the phone.
Are you using one of those crappy GOLD Chinese batteries? That might be your problem, don't know why, or of all of them cause issues, but a co-worker bought one for his HTC and was having a lot of issues.
For the battery drain you should at least try to diagnose what is causing it. Either install Wake Lock Detector (free on Google Play) or Better battery Stats (paid on Google Play, free on xda).
Most of my battery drain are constant and numerous wake locks caused by Goolge apps, including Keep and Google +. Once you know what is causing it, it will be easier to fix.
Update for anyone with similar issue..
I followed a guide on here to get back to factory stock (no root, stock recovery, etc). I had problems getting into download mode at one point and thought I was completely bricked until I decide to try booting without the battery even in the phone (powered just by USB). I was able to get into download mode that way and revert to stock.
Here's the strangest part to me: battery life is now back to normal. Not just regular use and standby, but completely powered off, I now only loose 0.5-1% an hour where I was loosing ~7% when powered off.
I don't know if it makes a difference, but I've also been keeping my wifi off. I'm experiencing terribly weak wifi transmission (still trying to figure that one out) that will cause my phone to loose wifi connection, or it will stay connected but is unable to load anything. Maybe my wifi issues relate to the crazy battery problems. Who knows.
Hi I have the same issue on my Galaxy Note 3 N9005. Battery drain when phone completely off. Can't turn on after swapping battery without charge. Tried factory reset, flash stock rom issue still exists. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Ok so first time i had problems like this was when my battery was like <30% and i take a photo with flash it turns off with no warning instant shutdown , then i had battery fluctuation if battery was like 8% when i offline charge like for 5minutes when i turned it on was 34 - 50 % . Now my phone wont go pass lg boot logo or it passes and get to homescreen it will insta shutdown , this happens even with 100% battery .Im on stock 4.4.2 v20a eu . Can someone help please ? i suspect the battery but i wan to know if someone else had problems like this before
I had pretty much the same situation. Battery was consumed quickly. At 30% it turned off. Charging to 45%'was really quick.
I changed the battery to a new original one, and now the phone is working perfectly.
I had same issue with my phone. i thought i might be due to any software issue but it was battery issue. please change your phone battery and it will be back online.
Hey guys, so for the past few weeks my G3 has been rebooting randomly, at first it was just once or twice a day. But now it's at the point that I can't use my phone anymore, it's CONSTANTLY rebooting. People suggested a battery issue, so I've changed my battery but the issue came back a week later. These reboots started around the time I flashed a thermal mod provided on XDA forums but I've flashed back to stock countless times, I've performed hard resets, factory resets and changing my charger but nothing seems to work.
I've also noticed a new issue today, my phone will show 54% battery life, then suddenly die. When I turn it back on it'll show 3%. If I charge it, it'll go from 3% to 100% in less than an hour which is quite impossible. But after a reboot, the battery will show something around 5-10% again. I really have no clue what todo or what the issue can be. Please help!
I'm currentled running Android 4.0.4 stock, non-rooted and barely any apps or bloatware (Just whatsapp, messenger and snapchat)
I have had the same problem as yours, i got a new battery and all good since. Maby you got a new faulty battery. Is it oem?
Exactly the same issue but I've tried a new battery yet
I ve got same problem then i replaced battery and since then it happened like 3 times (i was pretty mad!) but since then it works great...

Try caliberating your battery. And try changing your battery.
Battery changed and looks a lot better
Ok guys,yeah it's 5 years old already.Few days ago I noticed then when I charge it to 95-100% and leave the tablet turned off,when I turn it on battery looses like 10 % over a day and so on,so battery is draining when the tablet is turned off.
What can I do,I mean I can take it to a friend of mine who is pc technician but what can he do?
Possible hardware failure or battery issue?
If the battery has lost much capacity it will still charge up to 100%, but discharge much quicker.
If screen-on time is still okay, some peripheral component may not switch off when powering down. Some custom rom had messed up an old phone of mine and even after flashing stock rom the battery drained by 50%/day after switching the phone off. I even ordered a new battery to no avail.
If the Note hangs up or freezes during power off, you'd need a hard reset to power it on again and the battery would be completely drained in less than a day.
Self-discharge on my Note is extremely low, about the same as if i would store the battery separately or with a hardware power switch.
Screen on time is terrible like 2h or so...which means battery is bad,right?
Bad battery or bad configuration. The latter if the Note is drawing more than 1000mA when idle with screen on.
My battery still lasts about 7 hours (screen-on) and is the original from 2k13.
Battery lasts for like 6 h,and it's draning power when is switched off...I'm not sure how much but maybe like 5 % per day...
And I also noticed time and date is fuc..d up...
Can this be resolved?
So now even new battery can not last more then 4 hours,today tablet turned off at 30 % battery,I got flashing blinks and it turned off.
When I charge tablet it doesn't charge like in the start for 8-9 hours,usually 4,5 at max and when I check on status I see 70 % and then in a second 100 %.So smth is pretty messed up..
Seems to me it's for garbage only...
The Android Coulometer could be ****ed up. Although that should be more of a database than a driver, you could repair it by flashing the Coulometer driver via ADB. Only for stock rom. And there was only a guide for my old Huawei Mediapad on how to perform this.
A complete factory recovery in Download Mode will have the same effect. Or it may just slowly get better with time again, as it did with said Mediapad.
I once experienced real drain in soft-off state of an old phone, about 50%/day. A new battery didn't help. And the phone did really switch off, otherwise you'd have had to press power for 10s instead of one, for a cold boot. And with even higher drain.
A custom rom may have flashed a wrong firmware into a peripheral chip's flash. In case of said phone i suspected the wifi/BT combo chip, which retained a custom rom's bug even after flashing stock rom in D/L mode.
I was told that this is hardware issue.
What is factory recovery and what will it do,and how do I do it?
2.I can't update to android 5.0 at all.
When I click update manually get msg: you have recent update smth like that...
