Lg g3 wont turn off/shut down completely - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I currently have a problem with my g3. 60% of the times when I try to restart OR turn off/boot the phone doesn't boot at all until I remove/insert the battery which is annoying.
The phone is rooted and on cloudyg3. I had the same problem on Blisspop rom. Is it a hardware problem or software what do you think? The phone does not seems to completely shut down.
Oh, a time when battery ran out of juice, I charged the phone for 15min and noticed that i had to remove/insert battery to see the Red LED/Battery screen and make it turn on. An empty battery cannot keep the software running.
Thanks

Battery issue

The other morning I woke up and unplugged my phone and the "Unplug your phone" notification wouldn't go away and the phone thought it was still plugged in. If I rebooted it would just turn off and keep going from the green batter charging icon to a black screen and back. Only way I could turn the phone on would be to actually plug it in again. Problem fixed itself that evening and the phone was fine for a couple days. Today the phone started with the same thing.
I've tried searching but couldn't find anything on this specific issue. Any insight? Thanks in advance.
Brand new ept4g and I got 6hrs of battery life its so lame I have hack so much bad luck with this bad boy but I'm not giving up.

This isn't a battery consumption issue...
Anybody have this problem yet?

I'm having the same problems the last few days. Also when I unplug my phone I get a red exclamation point over my battery widget, when i open the widget it says that the battery is over voltage and the red led light won't go off. Think i'm about to go see what best buy does for me. Been dealing w/ this problem for a few days now.
Did you get a replacement? I haven't had any free time to go to sprint with my problem. It is still happening often though.
I had a similar issue the other morning. Though my phone would only boot back up in recovery mode. I reflashed it to out of the box stock but that didn't make any difference. When it did boot up it would show that it was connected to the usb port but it would not be plugged into anything. I plugged it into a usb port on my computer that I hadn't used with the phone before and it reloaded the drivers on my computer and "that" issue went away. After turning phone off it would start rebooting itself immediately or with in a few seconds of turning off. I let the battery die completely and then recharged it and the automatic reboot went away, at least for most of the day, but last night I turned the phone back off and it rebooted itself. I did reroot and restore my phone after I got it to not show the usb connected or the battery charging while the phone was off icon. Just wish I could figure out why it wants to automatically reboot itself when I shut it off.

My Battery Monitor Widget shows a max of 1500mah? Wtf? And a measured of under 1200?
No wonder my battery life is crazy low...

I figured a way to shut the phone off and not have it automatically reboot. If after shutting the phone off the normal way and once the screen goes black but before the capacitive lights go out, if I again press the power button, the phone finally shuts down without rebooting itself. Not sure why this is happening but at least I can get it to turn off now.
I found better battery life by determining which app or apps drain the battery. I used Battert spy, cpu spy and system tuner. My problem was Touchdown exchange for Androir 2.x. I switched to Moxier Mail. I would get hours on moderate to heavy use. I got 22.5 hours yesterday on moderate use.

[Q] Phone wont turn on after battery depletion

I am having troubles booting my phone after the battery depletes and the phone shuts off. My Optimus G is rooted with lifeless Rom v14 and I have TWRP recovery.
So once the phone dies, I plug it in to charge, and the phone screen automaticaly comes on and the LG logo flashes for a second, but nothing happens. The phone doesn't actually charge. If I remove the phone from the charger, the display still stays on until I hard reset it. I cannot access recovery mode or download mode for some reason. Usually when my phone dies, and I plug it in, it will flash the LG logo, keep the display on for a few seconds, and then shut down and restart and show the battery logo charging. I am not getting that this time, and I can't seem to do anything to get it operating again. There also isn't a red LED light to represent charging either. If anyone has had this issue before or knows how to fix it, I'd really appreciate the information right now.
Thanks

I had the exact same problem last night. (weird) I held down the power button for ~15 sec, and let the phone sit for about 15 min. I booted it and got it to load into TWRP and then put it on the charger. Let it charge in TWRP to around 10% and then booted into android and let it charge overnight. I had a mild panic attack at first but all is good now. Stupid software dependent charging.

Ok, that's definitely weird... I came to XDA because of this, it happened to me 2x and I did the same as you, let it charge in CWM till 12% ( shower time) and reboot the system. I'm not sure what exactly is causing the issue, it shouldn't be a software problem.
To try to find what's going on, lets talk about what we have in common:
ROM: Houston stock international (stock 4.1.1)
Charger: Non LG charger (htc)

GN not booting - screen flickering

Hey guys, I guess I have my first serious problem with that phone now...
Last night I was just writing in WhatsApp and suddenly the screen flickered like hell and the phone shut down. Couldn't boot up since.
Sometimes I manage it to boot into recovery but I can't really do much because the screen starts flickering again and it shuts itself off. Also I managed to boot the device twice but it started flickering instantly and shut off...
Also I noticed that it just turns on when I connect my charger - even though the battery should be full as I charged it over night and it wasn't even empty back then.
Is it just my battery or is my GN dying? Or is it just some software thing? Pls help me...
GN GSM
Carbon Rom (KitKat)
DirtyV Kernel (23.4.)
TWRP (newest)

[Q] Battery, touch and power off

Hi guys,
starting from about a week ago I'm experiencing some problems with my Galaxy Grand Duos.
All has begun with the touch screen: when I try to trace the unlock sequence it seems to lose the contact with the finger so I've to try more and more times. Also with the normal use of the touch with other apps it is not working as before.
Now it's from a couple of days that the phone, with a battery charge of more than 80%, suddenly automatically power off.
When I try to turn on the phone it turns off again and again, and the battery level of charge seems to be randomly generated each time.
If I'm connected to a wifi network, after a random times of reboot it restart to work, always with battery level and touch issues.
Otherwise if it's using 3G data battery lows down to 2-3% and the phone can not stat anymore on and turns off.
Battery consumption app doesn't show anything strange: screen 29%, multimedia 18%, play services 14%, Android OS 13% and so on.
The Android version is the original 4.2.2, kernel 3.0.31-1226815. The phone has never been flashed or customized.
I'm thinking about replacing the battery, but I'm in doubt how it can be related to the touch screen issue. Can you help me?
Can I use EB-L1G6LLUCSTD battery, which is for SIII but is 2100mAh as EB535163LU?
Thank you all in advance!

Touch screen issue is directly related to your battery. Take a good look at your battery to see if it's swelled. When the battery is swelled the phone tend to bend a bit because of the pressure, hence the touch sensitivity goes haywire.
Remove the back cover while the phone is turned on (don't remove battery) and see if touch issue is still there. My guess is, you have to replace your battery, If mentioned battery fit's your grand and voltage is the same, there's no doubt you can use it.

Phone turns off randomly with low battery warning

Hello everyone! Recently my Note II started to behave differently. Whenever I charged it completely, the battery abruptly fell to sometimes 60% sometimes 40% immediately followed by low battery warning indication and shutting down. I tried changing ROM and calibrating the battery again but nothing worked. Finally I replaced the battery with a new one and also clean flashed another ROM in a hope to see if the problem is gone or still there. But to my surprise the problem is still intact. Now, when I turn on the phone the battery is 90% and when I keep using it, it drains normally, but as soon as I put it idle it turns off randomly. When I turn the phone back on the battery is still at the same percentage level at which is turns off. I believe there is not an issue with the battery. Please help me what to do, I am using TWRP recovery that doesn't gives the battery stats wipe option too. Should I flash a new ROM again? I would greatly appreciate if someone please helps me in sorting this problem.
What I have already done!
1. Replaced the battery
2. Changed the ROM
3. Re-calibrated the battery
