Hello,
I have a problem with my LG G4. (It is no longer under warranty)
One day I loaded it with a 0.2A LG charger and there and a got some kind of sizzling and charger no longer working.
This occurred during recharging.
Since, my battery can represent a bad percentage, at each restart it shows me a new one.
It loads super fast which is not normal, and goes down in free fall. There is also a weird thing is that the battery goes up by itself without any recharging, for example, lately I was at 18%, 5 minutes later to see the time, I turn on the phone, I find it 25 %.
This is not normal at all.
In short, I went to see a repairman, he changed the connector, and then in my turn I changed the battery and the charger.
Nothing.
The phone always turns off at 25% by saying that the battery is empty, and it does "BIIIIIP" when it goes out, no message like "Battery empty".
Please help me, thank you.
PS: The charger that I currently use is 1.0A, I am desperate :/

I have a wierd issue on the new purchased TP2.
I am recently I owner of Tytn II, just switched over to TP2. Once I received the TP2, it came in a full battery status. Then I used it all up and then proceed to my 1st charge ( over 12 hours, with phone off)
Things happened after I woke up in the morning.
1. No lights on for charging ( I assume that's a new feature when battery is full, instead of charging when red )
2. once I turned on and shows only 45-50% of battery status.
So I used it all up again, and see if it charges on the this time.
I am just wondering if anyone have this charging issue.
Dude, you are not treating your battery correctly. The below link has some useful info. Especially the link in post 3 by Sjuust.

Btw, when it's charging, the status light will be a solid amber. When fully charged, it's a solid green. If there's no light, check your wires and stuff. Perhaps it's a bad socket.
Just doing a follow-up on the issue, the 2nd time not successful too
I tried and it worked only when I turn the device on to get a full charge.
Anyone think it's weird
Seems you mini usb does not connect propper. Try another cable, if this works you know the problem.
Or: press the male side of the mini usb each direction until you see a light burning. If this happens the usb opening in the phone is broken and you should get it fixed.
If this all does not work, still get it fixed. It's probably not the battery, but the usb opening in your phone.

that is very unusual as when phone is fully charged it stays on constant green light(led). at no time should it go off. unfortunately your battery may just need a few more normal charging cycles to achieve its full potential. if the led light goes off that is another issue! have you added any battery customizations?
Same problem here
I have - more or less - the same issue as D810Noob. My TP2 came fully charged out of the box. First time I charged it, the amber light was on during charging. Next morning no light was shown. I am not sure, but as I recall it, the battery was 100% charged. In the recent days, after one night charging (phone switched off) the green light is being shown but battery meter shows 89% (yesterday) or 91% (this morning). I have the 1% increment battery driver installed with the greenbatteryfix-icon installed.
This morning, after having switched on the phone and after having been confronted with 91% charge status, I reconnected the phone to the charger until it reached 100% (left the phone on during charging). With only two calls of two minutes in total and gprs (no hsdpa) running for two mail accounts, battery status dropped two 80% in 5:30 hrs. Never had such a drain with my TYTN2 that had (more or less) the same configuration.
It may very well be that my battery is not (yet) calibrated correctly, albeit that I fully discharged it last night. I will redo this a couple of times before returning to the shop, but this needs to be improved otherwise I will go back to my TYTN2.

Still having this issue. I have drained my phone completely yesterday evening until it switched off itself. Ten restarted until it switched off again. Then had it charge for forteen hours (phone switched off). When I switched on the phone this morning, battery meter showed 96%. A bit more than an hour later it shows 80%. Had no phone calls, only receipt of six emails and half an hour drive in my car with BT connection. BT is on continiously, BTW.
This does not look good, does it? Anyone who can shine a light on this?
Cheers, Dela
PS: the charging light was green when I took it off the charger this morning, whilst the battery meter showing the 96% charge status right after the startup.
My first day with this new battery. Bought it off eBay, it's a 1600mah (instead of the Desire's 1400mah), but not HTC brand.
I let it run dead the first time, by accident (forgot to plug in the charger). But then I charged it for 8 hours. It works, but I've been getting some really weird readings all day. ie. One minute it's at 21%, a few minutes later it's at 47%... while not in the charger! One app tells me the battery's at 7%, another says 21%? What the fuh? Wait, there's more. The percentage slowly decreases... while it's in the wall charger! Then I realize.... there's a big battery icon telling me that I should plug my charger in! What the hey-hey?? I figure maybe the power bar's off, because I *know* this thing worked yesterday.... So I try different outlets to no avail. Battery is still declining. Then I pop in the HTC battery, charger works fine in the power bar!
Also... I don't know if this could be related to the weirdo battery problem, but I have had great difficulty all day, getting the Connect To PC options to show up in the Notification screen when the USB is plugged in. They just wouldn't come in, whereas they always have before on my system. It'd start to work only after a reboot, but even so, not always. Any of this sound familiar to anyone?? I'm worried I might have screwed up the battery by letting it discharge on the first go... but, I consider that it might have been pre-screwed already.
For some reason my battery is acting like it barely wants to charge. It'll take hours just to go up by 4% and once it reaches a certain point, it no longer moves up in percentage. Sometimes it stops at 14%, sometimes it stops at 32% and sometimes it stops at 8, it's completely random. Also when I restart it, the battery percentage is completely different than what it was before. The weirdest thing is that the battery percentage actually decreases sometimes while it's on the charger. Even when I cut the phone completely off and it's showing the battery charge icon, the phone drains in percentage. This just started a couple of days ago, maybe a week after I flashed a kit kat rom.
Did you even check your port or chord? I would flash back to stock to make sure that it isn't the ROMs fault. Though it could be the battery?
? Powered By My Moga Pro ?
This has happened to me with third party batteries so try another battery and another charger. I'm running kit kat on my S2 and battery usage is quite a bit better.
I had the same problem, I tried different USB cables, flashed back to stock, nothing fixed it. I finally figured out it's charging port was going out. I took it to a place they had it replaced in 30 minutes, I'm now able to charge my phone fully and my battery life is back to being great.
Hey guys, I've had my phone for 4 or so months now and I always charge it while my phone is off and never had any charging/battery issues until today, I decided to charge my phone while it's on and it charged up to 25% and I restarted my phone without removing it from the charger and after it booted back it it's showing 50%, I restarted a few times, tried a cold boot, it's still 50%.
Is this a known issue with this phone? does anyone know what's causing this? I've never had this happen before.
EDIT: After this happened I ran my battery to 0% so I can attempt a battery calibration and when I poped it on the charger it showed my battery was actually 0% and showed a yellow hazard triangle thing (normally it only drops to 1% and there has never been a yellow triangle before)
Sometimes the Android system can incorrectly report a battery charged. I have had it happen to me on my Nexus by about 10%, but have not had it happen to me on my G3. I would not worry about it too much if it only happened to you once. If in continues you to jump around in battery percentage, then I would suggest getting a replacement battery. Keep in mind to try not to leave it charging for very long after reaching 100%, from my experience it can effect a battery's ability to hold a charge if that is done repeatedly. Which means do not leave it charging overnight while you are sleeping. Also I would not suggest running it until 0%, I would imagine a sudden shut down of the Android Operating system is not a healthy thing for it either. Just like it is not good to go up to a computer and just pull the power cord.

Thanks for the input.
I never leave my phone on the charger while I sleep since it only drops 1% while I sleep. My phone actually only goes on the charger like 3 times a month
I know it's not good to fully drain the battery very much, I was just draining it to attempt a battery calibration in the os. And when I do this my phone usually only drops to 1% then dies, but all of a sudden it dropped to 0% this time and showed a big yellow triangle with a big exclamation mark in it
Anyways I reflashed my rom in hopes I can flush the problem out. In 4 months of owning this phone I've never seen this warning before.
This is almost exactly what happened with my old phone (Samsung Captivate Glide). If this continues to happen, it is one of the first signs of the battery failing. But if this is a one time thing, I wouldn't worry about it.
In my case, the battery was going bad. It started going from any % battery, down to 0 instantly, forcing a shutdown. After rebooting, It would show a decent charge (~60% most of the time), but would do the same thing within 5 minutes. At first it only acted up like this once a month, but it became more and more frequent that it happened every day, after using the phone for only 15 minutes. The only fix is to get a replacement battery.

tyvm, This is extremely helpful info to keep in mind. Now that you mention it I have seen the battery kinda swollen up a couple times when it got hot, only ever so slightly but I did notice it.
If my issue persists i'll defnitly try a new battery, thanks for the tip
Context:
My dear LG G4 started having some battery issues this summer: it would sometimes turn off at around 15%, usually if I tried using the camera app. It would turn back on, at <10%. Left idle, it would actually increase the battery %.
About 1 month ago (maybe a bit more), the problem started to increase: it would turn off at ~40% - but not always, rarely. Last week, this happened everytime. Sometimes it would turn on back with ~5%, sometimes with 30%. Anyway, weird behaviour.
So I decided to buy a new battery. Can't be sure it's 100% genuine, but reviews say it should be fine (looks 99% like the old one).
Hoping it would finally solve my issues, I put the new battery in the phone. 5% charged - well, it's new, ok, np -> charge it to 100% and then go out to lunch.
The drain was awful, in less than 30 minutes it was at 75% (moderate usage at most). When it hit 74% it turned off. Problem is, this won't even turn back on. Got back to the office, plugged in charger - battery still reported 74%, phone turned on. Disconnected the charger, 1 minute later, phone turns off.
It's like when it hits 74%, it stops working.
Any ideas? Phone is still in warranty for a month, but not sure if this kind of problem is covered.
It's also my second G4, first one was replaced due to bootloop in summer 2016.
Download Accubattery app from Play Store, for the old battery , check it's health, repeat for the new battery.
My 2.5 year old LG G4 still has bad battery life because you know the SD 808 heats up quickly specially on hot summers or while charging, the battery's no1 enemy would be heat! So with the help of the app , I found the battery health had depreciated to 69% of it's 3000 mAh (that is 2069 mAh ) If your battery is new , I think your battery health should be 90%-100% in the Accubattery app!
