[Q] Phone is acting up.

Okay, so I have my Continuum rooted, and had been running ADWlauncher, with a theme, which was running fine and dandy. Then sometime day before yesterday my phone began to go haywire. My battery essentially stopped charging, so I dropped ADW, and went back to the default TW, and the issue essentially stopped.
That is, until now. I had my phone plugged into charge, and had about 6% battery life when I did. I was on the browser, just reading a few articles, when my phone decides to power off as if dead (just straight to black, no power-off screen).
Now I have it still plugged into the charger, but can't get it to turn on again. It just goes straight from the charging screen to solid black, and I have to pull the battery. Can anyone help?
Edit: 26 seems to be the magic number, as well. I have it plugged in, and finally turned back on, and am monitoring the battery life. When it first turned on, it had 26%, but has slowly worked it's way down, and is at 24%. I can't figure this out.

maybe its a defected battery? idk

I think that may be a failsafe gone wrong. I know mine won't let me flash anything (pluggedvinvor not) below 26%. and on some phones, the radios are shut down below a certain percentage. Mayberry wiping your battery stats in cwm?

My nexus 4 refuses to turn on while attached to the charger

I got my nexus 4 on Tuesday morning, plugged it in to the charger, waited until it reached 100%, then inserted my sim card, turned it on, upgraded through OTA from 4.2 to 4.2.2 and then set up my usual things. I discharged the battery from 100% to 16%, then I turned it off and plugged to the charger. I turned it on when it was at 95%, and unplugged from the charger because I had to get out of home. This morning it was roughly at 30%, then I turned it off and plugged it to the charger. Later I turned it on, it was at 93%, so I waited until 100% before unplugging. It stood ages at 99%, so I turned it off. A little bit later I tried to turn it on, and when I pushed the power button it showed that the battery was charged, then the image disappeared and the led began blinking in red until I released the power button. I unplugged it, then powered on, and it booted, everything as normal: but the battery was on 94%. I plugged it in and after one minute it was already at 99%. I turned it off, then pressed the power button, but same behaviour: image, then red led blinking. So I plugged the phone to my galaxy nexus charger, waited for a little, and then same behaviour again. So I unplugged it, turned it on, and when I was in the system I saw that the battery was on 100%.
Now the battery is normally discharging while using it, no strange values.
What should I do now? Should I let it discharge until it turns off, or should I never let it discharge until it turns off? And should I charge it with the stock charger or the galaxy nexus charger? I'll be grateful to everyone makes me know what he thinks.
Excuse me for my poor English and for how much I wrote, I would make things clear as possible.

I am sorry for my lazy, I only skim through your post, but I do read the question.
I read somewhere in this 4rum that the Nexus4's battery can be charged at anytime you want.
FOr me, I usually use the phone until 20-30%, then I turn my phone off and charge.
For my brother, he charge without any pattern, and he doesn't turn the phone off when charging.
For my own opinion, you shouldn't use the phone until the batter is empty.

Notice the same thing 3 times with my Nexus. Have searched for a answer to this but no one has a answer I guess or just ignore it. I just power up without it being plug in ..

R: My nexus 4 refuses to turn on while attached to the charger
Now it's at 13%, i'll plug it in the next 10 minutes, then i'll see what will happen this time. Very strange indeed.. I'm only a little bit scared about the "red led death" i read about here and there over the internet.

I never turn mine off. I charge it all night every night when I sleep. Stays on.
Send it back? Rma?

as above i charge my device every night, its never powered off,. is the device hot while charging not like usual warm temp, but very hot that the device detects an issue?
the battery stats are wiped each time its charged, i guess you have some internal failure, battery not being detected after you disconnect from mains or reported as flat, faulty, unreliable source
its best not to fully discharge the battery but maybe you should use it till it powers off then recharge, any charger is fine, but you dont need anything higher than 1amp
i would return it, would suck to have an issue away from home.

Stuck a 0% Battery / Doesn't charge

I was running CleanROM (doubt it has anything to do with it). Woke up this morning, phone was working fine. During my first break at work, it was off. Tried turning it on but it goes through the LG splashcreen, then the blue loading circle. Came back home and it doesn't charge. Stuck at 0%.
Made a nandroid backup earlier so I factory reset it. I am able to turn it on once in a while and checked the battery settings, it says needs more time to collect battery usage. Still the phone is stuck at 0%.
Hoping anyone has a fix/answer. TIA

Plug it into a wall outlet. Leave it alone for an hour or so . Give it time to charge up

I left it there for 2 hours, still 0. When I use the phone (While plugged in) it works fine. Unplug it, turns off immediately. It doesn't do that when I'm in recovery.
I formatted data in recovery, still getting the same results. I'm trying to unroot and bring it back to stock but I'm having problems with my PC atm.

Battery stats
Hi!
Did you already try wiping battery stats partition?

I remember that on CWM, but I'm on TWRP. I don't think I've seen that option.

Deleted battery stats, still stuck on 0%. I even switched ROMs from nanadroid to see, no changes.

Phone turned on this morning. Risked taking it out with me for work. The problem now is that the battery was stuck at 100%. After 10 hours of usage and wake an hour on screen time. That's not normal.

how did you get to 100%
its better than stuck at 0% coz i cant use it when unplug on the charger

[Q] Nexus 7 (2012) battery issue

Hi, I bought N7 (2012) 16 GB in December 2013 and suddenly it's charging went slow. At times, it just charges 5% after plugging in for 5-6 hours. I've no idea what's happening with it. Any clue?

Same here.
E.g. last night I turned it off at appr. 30%, plugged in the charger and in den morning it was at about 50%.
I am on PACman Rom 22.1.0

there has many issues about fast battery drain after kitkat especially about N7. There is no definite fix for this but you can try not to let it decharge under %30-35 because the lower battery is the longer it charges.. good luck with pluging and unpluging the charger a few times in out in out , it helps they said.

No, my case is something else. Everything was working fine and this problem happened suddenly one day. At times, while charger is plugged in, if I play game, battery starts to drain even when it's charging. There has to be some problem with the battery but I ask why did this happen and that too suddenly.

Get gsam from play store and see what's eating your battery. Or post screens here.
If you're rooted, you need gsam root companion as well. Shows more details then.
Otherwise we're all just guessing.

Mine started doing that just yesterday. I updated twrp today and did a wipe of everything, went to reboot, now it will not turn on at all. Won't even charge. I got it to turn on finally but it won't go back into recovery. Just gets stuck on the part when you first turn it on.

Here's something crazy! I unplugged the battery for a few hours, plugged in the power cable, tried turning it on (didn't work for obvious reasons lol), then plugged the battery pack in. Now it's charging fine and was able to boot into recovery.

[Q] Possible fix for my Nexus 4?

Here is my problem. I have a Nexus 4 that constantly powers off. And by power off, I mean as soon as the Nexus 4 boots up into the OS, the phone starts the power off sequence.
What I've tried so far was:
- in recovery did a factory reset, wiped both the data and cache partition.
- tried reloading the official nexus 4 firmware. Tried the 4.4.4 and 4.4.3 image
- used fastboot to load up a custom recover only to realize there is no rom on the phone itself to install from so that's out of the question pretty much.
- I tried the adb sideload but the computer doesn't see the nexus 4. the computer however sees the phone when it boots into the OS but the phone starts the shutdown operation as soon as it loads the start screen.
If it's hardware issue, then I guess there's no point in trying to fix it. But if it's only software related I want to at least try to see if it can be saved. lol
Any suggestions?

Well I know this happens when you have 0% battery
maybe your battery isn't charging?

Try booting with your N4 plugged and leave it plugged so 5 minutes, check your battery status and if it's ok unplug it and cross your fingers.

I thought about that at first. but according to twrp the battery life was above 70% and can run on battery perfectly fine. The phone doesn't actually belong to me. She gave up trying to fix her problem and got a new phone. I just got curious and want to find out what is causing the issue.

I left the battery charging all of last night just to try it regardless of what the status said. It was hovering at around 70-80% according to TWRP before I plugged it in. It actually made progress today. The phone booted up. So I put in LPV just for the fun of it. The first time it booted up into LPV, it was doing the shut down process as well. Plugged it back into the wall for 5 mins, unplugged it and turned on like normal. Went through the set up process.
Left it sitting there for about an hour. Then decided to shut down the phone and restart it to see if that issue would return. Didn't return until Play Store started doing updates. The phone shut down. Powered it back up and it was fine. lol. Battery life right now is sitting at 78% and battery widget reborn is saying the temperature is 39C. So it coule very well be the battery. But my friend said the guy she brought the phone for repairs supposedly changed the battery. lol. So I don't know.

Yeah, sounds like a possible bad repair. Try another thing, flash a kernel not based on stock, like hell's doctor or hell's core. After 4.4.4 there are several issues like boot loops and shutdowns with kernels based on stock.

Well it's running Android L Preview port so it's not running 4.4.4 based rom. At least to my knowledge. I'm going to see how long this last. I suspect they didn't really replace the battery or it could be an issue on the motherboard side not detecting the proper charge level on the battery? But battery life so far on the phone seems pretty crappy. 13% in the last 45 minutes on airplane mode with wifi on.
