So I don't seem to be the only one that has battery issues with the i9505.
It's randomly rebooting and then stuck in bootloop until i connect it to the charger. Once it reaches the homescreen I can disconnect and the battery % will slowly creep up to it's original percentage which is VERY frustrating when you're not near a charger.
Problem is the phone is rooted so going back to the shop is probably not an option plus I can't be without a phone for several weeks because I'm guessing they will send the phone back to Samsung for tests.
Should I buy an original battery or are there good aftermarket ones? I'm kind of weary of buying some cheap eBay battery since I heard they have bad performance or can even be dangerous.
Suggestions?
Hi Guys,
I'm new to the LG G2; so new I don't even have it yet. It's coming from Sprint soon to my doorstep. This will be my first non-removable battery device so I'm thinking and thought about this: What if while the phone was on the charger, there was some kind of a mod to bypass the battery and go straight to powering the phone? Then, it wouldn't degrade the battery and the lifespan of the battery would increase. Driving in our cars or sitting at home would just stay plugged in and not wast battery longevity. Pie-in-the-sky? Probably so, but I had to just put it out here to find out what folks that certainly know more that I, have to say.
Every modern piece of technology does that already.
It's not that charger that is causing damage to the battery. It's the charging itself.
Yes, sir, that is what I am saying also. So, what I am wondering is, is there a way to stop the charger from charging the battery, but still let it supply power to the device so the device works - basically bypassing the battery?
Idk i still charge my battery over night.

The phones coming out now-a-days sometimes have some work-arounds implemented to help alleviate this condition. Some of them will switch off charging at, say 95-99% of capacity instead of charging to completely full. Others will charge to a certain high value and then switch to battery only for the first 5% or so and then start charging again.
Also, FYI, the back cover is removable on this phone if you pry where the hole created by removing the microSIM is. Supposedly it comes off rather easily. Now I know removable back and removable battery are two different things but it is at least looking up!
Does the LG V20 Quick Charging work on spare battery when it's not in the phone? Such as in the charging pod/cradle that LG sells if I use the quick charging plug? I would think the cradle would need some intelligence to do that. If that's not quick charging, is there a way to quick charge a spare battery without using the phone?

There are batteries all over the web for this phone but I want the closest to factory as possible. I recall in the past on my LG V20 all the aftermarket batteries weren't as good as stock and you couldn't rapid charge them either.
My back case is already cracked and I've replaced it before and my battery is pretty much shot so I plan to do them bother together.
This is my favorite phone of all time. Recently bought a brand new one for the nostalgia of it but can't find a Zerolemon extended battery + case. Emailed Zerolemon but they're discontinued.
Does anyone have one they'd be willing to sell?
