battery percentage

Hey guys, just wanted to ask you if any of you had had a smilar problem. Mainly, my battery percentage goes for example to 95%, and then after a few minutes it goes back to 97%-.. is this normal, or is it time for me to change the battery ?

hasn't happened to me yet. You'd better let the battery discharge completely once and charge it fully. Then see if it works or not

Apart from enoromous readings battery works fine.

stock or cm or aosp rom?

Stock 4.1.2

i didn't have that on stock only on cm and aosp

Heeeeey I started to notice this on my stock rom 4.1.2 yesterday after reading your thread :| But you can be sure that it's not a problem since I've bought my g last week so it can't be because of your battery age. It's natural. I think it's impossible to show the correct and exact battery percentage in any OS. To test, you can let your battery discharge to the end and you'll see that the end is sometimes 3 percent (the device goes off when it has 3 percent or more left) and sometimes you get 0 percent but the device is on Maybe that's why percentage is off by default.

I contacted LG and they said it's normal. Is it normal?

Yes it is, it happens on my device from time to time and I believe it's guesstimation technology :highfive:

What can drain battery faster on this phone?
Browsing the internet through Wifi or 3G?
Thanks.

3G!

Roms which improve battery life?

I am soon getting an LG G4, as it is one of the best phones which meet my needs. Out of all the features its noticeable that the battery life isn't that great compared to other competitors. So I was wondering if there are any good roms for the G4 which improve the battery life while also having the features of stock G4. If there are any can someone name them?

How much SOT do you need ?

I get 5 to 6 hours SOT on stock rooted lollipop. 7-8 if I disable sync, push notifications and have Wi-Fi on only when screen On.

You want 8-9 hours of screen on time ?
runtime is how long it lasts, sot is how long it lasts while you're actively interacting with it.
So what is your minimum sot figure ?

Moto G5 battery life

The Moto G5's battery is absolutely dog s*** can't believe that people are getting over a day with this phone. When the phone's screen is off that's when it great. When it's on it's crap!! Help?

Could you share your screen on time? I am still satisfied with battery performance of my moto g5, even though the battery is not large enough and the chipset really consume a lot of power,

Don't know what you're doing but I use my phone non stop all day and right now after I unplugged it at 7am this morning I still have 66% left at 4pm
Obviously if you are playing high demanding games it will drain quicker but Iv been using wifi and apps all day no problems

Actually, the battery is quite good. Even with stock ROM. Even with .15 ROM (that's what I have right now).
But I have disabled Moto Display and few other things, perhaps this helps a bit.
You should try to find out what eats your battery. In worst case, try Factory Reset.

Looks perfectly normal to me

With some routers my battery goes down when display off. Solution: wi-fi off when at sleep.

How does this looks?

Unknown as you have pulled the stats just after unplugging the phone from power

Don't know if any one noticed but the moto g5 kernel has performance as the default scheduler. Not really the best for battery life at all.

Broken? Arasthel's LOS 15.1 is running very smoothly for me with decent battery life, not much worse than MIUI for me.

I'm running RR 6.0 now, never have that kind of battery drain.

Half of the calls had no audio for me wit LOS 15.1. I definitely did not do anything wrong, I did your flashing sequence with total wipe. It was also draining battery and getting hot. I have no clue how it can work for some people and not for the others.

Maybe you should properly calibrate battery once new rom is installed. That helped me before.

I don't have a battery screenshot right now. But I definitely don't notice much drain when the phone is idle. I get 3-4h SoT per day with 20-30 percent left. I use bluetooth in the car a lot and always have it on, almost always on wifi. Don't notice any drainage when on LTE though.

I found out where the cause is.It's the location setting.Default location setting is high accuracy,which costs a lot of battery life.I turned it off and it's all fine now.9 hours idle,4 hours SOT,40% battery left.Really satisfied with that.

I really dont know the reason. But one thing is that because I came from MIUI, after flashing the RR, i do the "format user data" just to make sure everything is clean for a different kind of Rom. It would be a bit hassle to copy things back to the phone, but I just have to do that format thing once.
Also I use greenify with aggressive doze. That's it

I have no audio on calls - again. This is really starting to piss me off. If no one else has this, then it must be a problem with my phone. I have never tested it with miui to be honest, I flashed custom roms right away. I guess now I need to go back to stock to see if the issue persists.

It helped me. I am not getting any drains. Give it a try you got nothing to lose. Just discharge your phone fully and then leave it turned off to fully charge.

Mi A2 Lite Battery - Unloading Very Fast

Good Night, some good soul to help me on the Mi A2 Lite, before upgrading to the Pie its battery lasted up to 40 hours, today it lasts no more than 4 hours / day, as I do a lot of use of the device I have to recharge it, it 02 or more times a day. Would anyone know of any solution to this? He is losing 3% of battery every 5 minutes, that is, in 1 hour he loses 36%, lasting at most 3 hours. The eight processor cores are constantly in 2016 Mhz, I no longer know what to do to try to solve the problem

Did you reset after the upgrade from Oreo to Pie? You might want to install AccuBattery to pinpoint the possible cause.

I did the hard reset as explained, but the battery drainage is something very strange, since without use it has already dropped 32% one hour after being recharged.

Maybe you have an app installed which had bad update recently. Track usage without installing any apps, just the clean os.

May I aware you about a fingerprint scanner bug that is supposed to be causing this issue. Are you having trouble with the fingerprint unlocking? I had an at some poit it showed a message as if the hardware was unavailable. Since I've hard reseted the phone, the scanner was back to life, but sometimes is simply doesn't unlock and I have to use the pin. Many users say that the fingerprint keeps persistently alive and using every core of the processor, causing battery drain. I do not have this problem, but maybe you would like to google it.

After Successfully Ported Stock ROM Then Just Check Battery Without Installing Any App. If Its Okay So Enjoy. If Battery Performance Doesn't Good Then You Should Have Changed The Unit Battery.
Greetings !

My smartphone is still under warranty, I contacted the store that sold me, they asked me to post it so that it could be analyzed, they suspect that it is a battery addicted, I doubt it very much, because in previous moments like I said, before the update to the torta it lasted almost a day and a half of charge without much use and with use it lasted all day, I'll send it, if you do not give me a solution, try the suggestions offered by you, regarding the digital sensor is not.

You could try this after the baterry is charged and with the charger still plugged in, keep vol and vol down plus power pressed for at least one min, all snapdragon cpus have this feature but whether xiaomi have messed with it who knows, supposed reset battery stats, after a around say 40/50 seconds wait for the longest power off cycle before you let go.

Good evening, after sending my Mi A2 Lite to the technical assistance came the first opinion that the battery was "swollen" and that they would replace it with a new one, as I researched, batteries addicted or "swollen" are not covered by the warranty of the phone what left me with a big doubt, is this even the problem of my smartphone ??? Well, he returned from the assistance last Friday and to my surprise, putting him on the load off, he did not hit 100% load, always stopping at 97%, I made two other loads with him on and at most 96 % of load, I am with more doubts, some say they can be bugs, others advise me for the request to change the device, I do not know what to do ....

You maybe could try battery calibration, using an app from playstore

Batteries are not digital. 100% is a guess. If you get over 95% that's effectively full. It may not even charge from there to avoid overcharging the cells.
Bad batteries can happily report 100%, then quickly drop when you put load on them.
