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.

Same issue here

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.

WiFi stays on in Stand By with Cellular Data Off

This week I noticed something really great... Normally I charge my phone during the night, but the other day I charged during the day and it was at 75% when I was going to sleep so to save battery I turned off Cellular Data but left WiFi on (I knew it would turn off in stand by).. I forgot battery saver LOL...
But in the morning my phone was all up to date, Weather, News, Emails.. Everyting...
The past days I've been doing the same and I noticed that as long as cellular data is off.. If I lock the phone with the WiFi connected it stays on and connected, if it's not connected or the router restarts during the night it doesn't connect.. Nice..
I'm using Omnia 7 with 8107 update...

Yeah... Tested it just after reading your post.. Wifi stays on

No
Wifi stays on only if the phone is charging.

yeah it stays only on if charging and 1/2h after you see your lockscreen before you go to sleep. i get sometimes email but all they arrive only 1/2 after the lockscreen, not during the night. and at the morning i get all the other emails, that arrived 1h after the lockscreen during last night...

I've been confused for 1.5 years what people mean by WiFi turns off with phone locked. If I start a download a file and shut the screen off it still downloaded it. When I plugged my phone in at night, all the things I selected to sync on my PC were on my phone in the morning. Are people just not setting up ' Wireless Sync ' via Zune phone settings? 10 minutes after my phone is on charger if I'm at the PC a message pops up showing a connection to my phone, and it syncs with Zune.
I'm sure I must be overlooking something, but what other reasons do we need the WiFi to work with the phone sleeping?

Even if we don't need WiFi to work with the phone sleeping, but every time I unlocked the lockscreen, it will reconnect to WiFi for seconds, I have to wait a moment till I use my WiFi again, it's really inconvenient, and I cannot keep the phone charging all the day. IOS and Android have no such problem. I really think this is someting need to be improved.

I agree.... I think it's done this way to save the battery.

[Q] Bizarre charging/USB problem on my HTC One X

I'm hoping some of you wise heads on here might be able to help me out with a problem that has got me totally and utterly stumped!
Last week I was using my One X and noticed the battery was down to aorund 14%. I plugged it into a charger and nothing happened...no light...nothing. I tried various different chargers and cables to pc etc and nothing seemed to do anything.
After leaving the phone plugged into the mains for a few hours, I noticed that a very slow/long flashing red/amber light appeared. It kind of stays on for 5 seconds and then off for the same amount of time. I left the phone in this state for about 14 hours and when turning on it would say battery was somewhere between 0%, 1% and 2% and would promptly switch itself off.
I messed about for hours on end trying many different button combinations, sim in/out and came to this bizarre conclusion.........If I plug the phone into the mains for a few minutes, then press power and volume down to get to the HBOOT menu then hold power in again to reboot, the phone reboots into the OS and is functional. It still reads as having 0% or 1% battery and shows as not charging, but it must be getting some juice for it to be working. If I leave the phone in this state for a while I can then unhook it from the charger and use it as normal, even though battery is displaying as 0%. I can use the phone like this for some time, although the battery does not appear to last as long.
Also, the phone is not recognised at all by the PC when plug in via usb when in android os - nothing at all shows in device manager, but it is recognised from the fastboot menu and tries to install device drivers.
Has anybody got any clue if I can save my HOX or am I without a paddle?? Many thanks in advance

[Q] Can't boot up SmartWatch 3

Guys,
I've updated my SmartWatch 3 to 5.1 yesterday via OTA
Everything worked fine.
When battery was low, I charged it up from 9% to around 80% (I switched it off though)
It stuck charging at 80% as it was very hot I removed it from charge.
After 2-3 hours I charged again to complete from 80% to 100% even after 1-2 hours of charge It would not charge.
Today morning I did the same I wouldn't charge. I switched on the watch I got android wear logo and it directly switched off.
Now it's not switching on.
Any help I can get?

Yeah same issue here but it is harder than that ...
I installed TWRP on my watch, and when I received the 5.1 OTA, it seems that it did not want to install the update because I was not on recovery stock. Then, my SW3 started to lag, I was not able to install the ZIP via TWRP, and it was superhot, I was unable to boot Android Wear..
That's so ****ed up, man. I can't even know what should I do. xD

I've got the same (or really similar) problem my watch was out of battery, I put it on the charger, it showed normal charging battery icon, then when I tried to turn it on it doesn't show anything, the display is black and when I held down the power button it vibrated once. The problem is that it isn't only display fault because I can't connect to the watch with my mobile phone. Wat do?

edit: Well that was weird, I unplugged it from the charger and put it there again and now the charging icon is back and when I pressed the button it started to boot. Weird.

Me, too.
After OTA today, my watch is dead. Even long press power button can make freeze screen reboot.

Okay guys, here my solution, it worked for me :
If the screen of your SW3 is completly dark:
1) Just let it plug. In fact, the watch is charging, it's just not shown up (I dunno why...)
2) Let it like that for 1 hour, and then unplug it and let it cool down for 10 mn.
3) Install the Sony Companion App on your PC.
4) Keep ressing the power button of your watch til a screen with the watch and USB appears.
5) Plug It to your PC, open the Companion App.
6) Somewhere in the menus, you can resinstall the OS of the watch, RESET it, find the menu.
7) Let your watch restart.
And you're done ! It worked for me, so try.

I left it aside from morning to evening. Didn't even touched it. It completely discharged. So I kept to charge once again and it magically booted up and now working fine. Seems pretty weird. ?

As I read in other post, I can confirm there is some kind of bug when you are charging your SW3, if you turn it on with the usb cable charging and the screen showing the battery %, the smartwatch gets like frozen and doesn't do anything.. In case you have this problem, you should wait until the battery goes to 0%, start charging your sw3 BUT when you are going to turn it on again first unplug the usb cable and wait until the battery % display dissapears.. I did it after I read it in other post in XDA (I don't have the link here.. I was searchig for it on another computer) and worked for me.
I hope it works for all.. sorry if my English it's not perfect hehe

I was a die die hard fan of LG, using from G Pro to G2, G3 and now G4. but these issue really annoying and changing my mind from LG. Please help me to solve this.

I had almost the same problems a month ago and they started from nowhere (slow charging, no connection with PC). I tried cleaning the port that didn't help. As strange as it sound all problems ware gone when i flashed a fresh KDZ with LGUP. At first my PC wasn't detecting the phone in Download mode so i tried like 10/15 times and it installed the drivers eventually. So yeah ... go figure ..... i hope this is helpful

Try replacing stock battery or stock charger/cable or the poster said about flashing fresh kdz via lgup
