Hello,
Suddenly out of the blue today, my phone seems to be acting weird. When I plug it in to charge, it starts draining battery. Goes up 2-3% and then starts falling back. Any ideas?
It is stock Gingerbread, rooted by one of the methods here, not the pre-rooted rom though.
Also, its been pretty smooth and without error till this morning.

i phone is acting weird lately. i'm running tried , AOKP, Voltage revolution, and now running rootbox rom they all seem to have this problem of slow charging time on my phone. The worse part is the phone can never seem to charge to 100% even i leave it charging overnight. And after it reaches to 100% the battery drains quickly by itself. Every time when i reboot the phone 2 % of battery disappears. Is this happening to everyone? or just me?

Try doing a full charge cycle (discharge completely to 0%, then recharge, without stopping, to 100%). This recalibrates the battery.
Started last night after I updated a few play store apps. I put my phone in the charger and it was at 1% at the time. I got it up to about 17% and it just stopped charging. I thought it was just the charger (official LG) so I switched it out and grabbed another (Touchpad charger) and it started charging again.
Skip to the morning about 6-7 hours later. Phone is really hot, 75% battery and not charging even though it's still plugged in. First instinct, restart it. At this point I had to get ready for work. When I got to work I let it slowly drain out and waiting about 30 minutes after it died before charging it, thinking that the battery needed a calibration. So I charged it up to about 35% and had to go for lunch. By the time I get back in a little over an hour it's at like.. 10% I think which is pretty odd for that amount of time.
Anyway I let it drain out again, at this point I also reflashed my current rom (dirty wipe), installed betterbatterystats and another app to check wake locks. I also installed greenify and froze 2-3 things. Drain is still happening although it might have slowed a little bit.
Fast forward to home, I have now completely wiped my phone and flashed the latest stable CM on it (10.1.2). In about 40 minutes I went from 25% - 15%. I DID NOT FLASH GAPPS YET. This is running barebones with literally no apps, no syncing (no gapps, no google signin) with WiFi on. I'm thinking the fast drain has to do with A) Uncalibrated battery (I haven't hit 100% in about 48 hours now almost) or B) battery is dead (or really bad).
TL;DR Battery is draining super fast, no [excessive] wake locks, dirty flashed once, clean wiped once. Drain still happening. All in a period of less than 24 hours. Is this a hardware issue?
have you tried a custom kernel?? .. try Franco's i think it's the best for battery life.

I flashed Franco M3 last night before going to bed. I'm going to see how today goes, but right now I can tell you I don't think it fixed anything.

I'll give it a shot whenever it gets low battery today.
you can' really judge franco kernel until a few battery cycle as it need to settle with your ROM.
So my G2 used to last me a whole day easily, my battery life was incredible, then one day, I went to sleep, with my phone at 64%, and it wasn't charging, so then I slept 7 hours, and when I woke up, it's dead, 100% dead, it wouldn't turn on, well it would but just to turn itself back off again. Anyways, I'm rooted, I have Dorimanx kernel, killed off and deleted all unnecessary apps and tasks, ect. this battery drain has no source, at least I don't think so. My battery doesn't last half as long as it used to, and I noticed my phone is always staying slightly warm now, so you may think, it's running something, that's what's killing the battery, no, nothing is running, i checked with rom toolbox manager, and nothing that shouldn't be running is running. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I just replace the battery myself? My phone would have times (before this battery drain) that it would stay warm, but even then, my battery life was amazing. ANY help at all is very appreciated.
Edit: I fixed it? I decided to reset the phone, to see of it was a tweak messing with the battery, it still dies fast, so then I went back to stock via kdz method, so this way I had no custom kernel or anything. Still the battery drained. Then I just rooted and flashed the backup I made in TWRP right before I went back to stock, that brought my kernel and tweaks all back, and then, idk why, my battery life is fine again? After 3-4 days of dieing very quickly. Idk what happened, but if you have a battery drain, try flashing the stock ROM again and then testing the phone out like that. It worked for me. Also, I had signal problems before I went back to stock, and now I have LTE everywhere I go. I'm keeping this up in case someone has a similar problem.
Hi there,
Since a few days my Moto G4 has been randomly shutting down (instantly) at any given moment. Battery charge does not matter. 100%, 20%, all the same. Sometimes when it has shutten down and i boot it up again, the phone says that the battery is 1% or something low, but when i put it on the charger it quickly goes back to whatever it was. I have tried installing a different rom but that didn't work.
How can i fix this?

Restore back to stock rom, calibrate battery, and if still no better, change battery as it likely is bad

My son's G4 had the same exact symptoms. Random reboots from any battery level. Typically after boot the battery level would drop dramatically from e.g. 80% to 5%. Extremely fast battery level drops after charging. Abnormally fast charging to full etc.
Send it in for repair and got it back after 5 days or so - everything fixed. Very likely bad battery or connection to battery.
If you are already on stock then definitely get it repaired. If out of warranty you can try to replace battery yourself, available on ebay and instructions on youtube.
So, i had this random rebooting issue on stock oreo, after installing custom roms it went away for a while but now the issue is back again, My phone will randomly reboot as if my battery has just died(while plugged in or fully charged).. I can be playing games or just scrolling through my home screen and it will reboot without warning, then starts up like nothing happened.. any ideas on how to fix this?

Hey Texas, I'm not sure how old your battery is. But if your battery is on the fritz it could be losing voltage in your phone will shut down. I think you'll normally get a bad battery warning but I'm not positive. I'm using Alpha Oreo 1.3.1 with MK 2000 version 2.2 kernel. And have not had any random reboot problems. On the contrary. It has been extremely stable and I'm getting extremely good battery life especially with greenify. Normally 24 to 27 hours on a full charge. With anywhere from 3 1/2 to 6 hours of screen time.
