Nexus 4 doesn't fully charge

I have been experiencing this problem the past weeks, maybe months. The phone won't fully charge and usually stay at a value around 80 - 85%. Sometimes, it even reports to be 100%,and at the moment you unplug it from the wall, it drops to these values. Sometimes, however, it does charge to a full value, but anyway, the battery life is horrible.
Here you have a screens hot of the battery stats.

The rom I use is cyanogenmod 11. I always have been using this rom, since the moment I purchased the phone.
Like three months ago, my phone dropped to the floor and broke the screen. My home insurance company replaced the screen, so I think, even the phone is a year and three months more or less, I can't call LG for a replacement, can I?
I'm a bit worried because I'm making a long three week trip in some weeks, and I need to have a working phone.
I don't know if going with battery replacement, if try to flash stock and see how it behaves or what to do.
BTW. just for testing if it was the rom or not, I left the phone charging while switched off and got the same results. The original wall charger has the same results as if I charge it with a Samsung charger.
Thanks

I have the exact same problem, I posted about it a couple of days ago.
I have already replaced my battery once, that was almost six months ago, and now, I'm facing the same problem again.
I'm not sure if is only a battery issue, because this is my second battery with the same problem.

There is an app called batterie calibration by néma. I dont want to give up on your batterie/phone, so at least try this app out

I had the same problem with my old phone. What I would do was let the battery run down to 0% and let it switch off. Then i would charge it to 100% and it would work. Its only a temporary solution though as the battery would soon stop charging above a certain percentage after a few days.
I did change the battery on it but i experienced the same problem,it may be that the new battery was also faulty (if it was the battery's fault in the first place). What I did notice though was that when it did not charge above 80 or 85%, when the battery came to about 20% it would stay on 20% longer to compensate for the "lost" percentages. In essence it does charge to 100% it just doesn't show that on that battery bar.
Maybe give this a shot, it might work well for this phone. No harm in trying. You could also try reinstalling the ROM or returning to stock. For me on my old phone returning to stock did the trick.

same problem
i have exactly the same problem,'ive changed two batteries but there's still this problem.
give me a solution please!! i tried different roms, and flashed factory images of android 4.3 nd 4.4.4

It seems to be a common problem with this phone - not charging to its full potential. The other issue I have experienced - the phone goes dead for no reason. After trying a number of time trying to get it to turn on, it eventually does. I am waiting for the day that it actually does just die and I can purchase a more reliable phone.

Something wrong with your phone. There is no such common issue. I've been using this phone since last 4.5 years.
Instead of waiting for it to die, is it not good go ahead and get a new phone?

Battery life assessment

Hello,
I find the OPT's battery life to be pretty disappointing, and a bit inconsistent over time.
I rooted and installed Amplify with some pretty aggressive settings. I have also tried Powernap, but disabled it when I saw it had very little impact.
Below are today's stats for my battery, which is just about 20% after 13 hours of moderate use.
It looks to me like wakelock should be under control (1% of battery in GSAM), but why is the phone awake so often then? Plus there was some odd GPS behavior: what is your opinion on this?
I hope I am not breaking any rules. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

You're not reading the GSam stats properly, your wakelocks are almost equal to your screen time, and like 28% of your screen off time.. Not good. Your awake time percentage is roughly three times what mine is. You may have a kernel wakelock rather than apps causing problems but can't tell without wakelock detector or similar.

Thanks, will try wakelock detector and report back

Can't confirm your disappointment...
In my opinion it's OK to have roundabout 2,5h DOT and last half battery with an Lollipop rom

Wow, wakelock detector revealed a massive drain from the fingerprint scanner... Probably due to the fact that I keep the phone in my pocket with no case, so it turns on very frequently only to "read" my thigh through the fabric.
I tried disabling fingerprint scanner and had immediate benefits on standby time. I wonder if this means I will be unable to ever use this great feature, or if sensitivity will be adjusted in future OTAs.
Screen on time remains rather poor though, or at least a far cry from the 5 hours everyone else seems to get.

My battery with screen off goes down 52% after 2 days. Have 2.1, latest custom kernel,greenify + amplify. the culprit is mobile standby as there are parts of house with bad reception. airplane mode not an option

Last night I tested battery drainage overnight from around 11pm to 7am.
I lost 3% total.
I set the phone to LTE (WiFi off) and disabled Auto-Sync Data under Accounts.
3% overnight is not bad IMHO.

Hi guys,
The standby time on OPT is very bad, however if I use it I get amazing SOT.
I am gettng these 2 kernel wakelocks in OPT, qpnp_fg_memaccess & qpnp_fg_update_sram.
These are always in top 3 wakelocks. I tried to search about them but could not find anything.
Can anyone tell me what are these and why do they occur and how can i avoid them?

So ... why don't you keep it somewhere else? Or put it in a flip case? That would be an easy remedy without sacrificing usability too much. I never really get it why people deliberately expose their thighs and possibly also their reproductive organs to so much radio waves ... or keep their mobile connection activated over night ...

Actually I have solved this by always pocketing the phone with the screen facing away

I am using Sky dragon ROM and Boeflla v18
Used 70 % battery in 23 hours with around 6 Hrs active. so it is good. Mostly Used in real racing 3 and asphalt. Plus I am running several xposed mods and Layers Themes

Galaxy S3 NEO insane battery drain

Hello,
I'm a new guy to the forums here, at least posting...
My Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo is having huge problems with battery, for example, today I used the phone just in the morning for about 15-20mins and 1h ago, with the phone sitting unused here, it was giving me a 7% battery warning, I went to see it and it looked like this:

NOTE: The wifi was off all along, you can see the phone is on mobile data (really turned off, not just disconnected).
This has been happening for about a month now, the phone is just 1 year old, the battery has no bulge at all, I have uninstalled alot of apps that I don't use in hopes of fixing this and nothing... Even using the Eco mode of the phone that downclocks the processor, its not enough.
Does anyone have any idea of what may be happening?

The
first thing then for you to do would be to check if any apps are
misbehaving and consuming more battery than they should. Depending on
the app and its utility, you should be able to figure it out easily. If
you think any app is consuming more battery, you can report the issue to
the developer and find an alternative in the meantime.
Here are some tips, how it works for you : http://www.syncios.com/android/how-to-improve-android-battery-life.html

Hi,
Yes, misbehavior of apps could certainly be a reason. If uninstalling apps doesn't work, try a factory reset. Remember to backup all your important data first though.

You can try my thread about saving battery for our phone and tell me if it changed something for you!
Good luck

Me too I'm facing the same issue. I replaced the battery twice but the problem persists, I think this is related to the power integrated circuit.

me too but now i'm using galaxy grand battery and it is very fine

The last year I had the battery that was shipped with my i9301i (manufactured and assembled in China) and the power conspution was crazy and the battery dropped with no sense... I then replaced it with the original S3's battery (made in korea) and now it is working perfectly fine.
I think that a lot of Neo's battery are of low qulity for reducing the costs....

Are you using WIFI Direct?

S3 Neo has bogus battery indicator, sometimes my phone stuck at some percent (for example 47) and when I put it on idle after minutes battery is 39%. Buggy indicator, I don't know for the battery. I'm using original Samsung battery and it drains when in AIRPLANE mode (wtf) ...
P.S. Reflash your device using NAND erase all and EFS clear in Odin (I flashed with these more than 20 times and my phone works PERFECT!) I mean clean flashing with wiping all data on the phone. Now my battery is not draining in airplane mode but still have the buggy indicator. Custom roms like Cyanogenmod12.1 are cool but have some bugs, I'm with the stock rom now

sudden battery drain

I installed Resurrection Remix 5.6.9 two days ago and thing have been GREAT until this afternoon.
On the way home from, I suddenly noticed my battery started draining way too fast.
Tonight, I've been monitoring, and it's lost the same amount of battery in less than an hour as it did all last night unplugged 7 hours while I slept.
I installed gsam battery monitor in the hopes it would provide me with more inromation than the standard battery info from Android settings menu, but it's not telling me much more.
Also, in the time from 8:50 - 9:10 that I had the screen off and phone unplugged, the phone is warm like I've had the screen on using a CPU intensive app.
What else can I do to track what is causing this battery drain? (and i'm assuming CPU usage).
The only thing I did today that was any different was to install the Asus Pixelmaster camera app from the play store. other than that, absolutely no different usage today than the past two days.
I have just now uninstalled the Asus camera app to see if that is the culprit, but I don't see how it could be.
This is my first go with Resurrection Remix, but I did use the Asus Pixelmaster camera on CM13 and (obviously) stock and stock rooted ROMs.
Please, any thoughts on this?
@BigBrosMo this might interest you as well.

Craziness.... Not the camera. Something in cyanogen. The flat a section is airplane mode.

i could not track down what was causing the problem. this morning was even worse - about 1% drain every two to three minutes .
i'm trying out the XOSP ROM now.

I noticed if i turn the wifi off the drain is reduced significantly. Bluetooth is on, cellular on, wifi off.

Did you get any further in diagnosing battery loss? It's taking forever for RR 5.7.1 to get released.

I am having this issue to! On a couple roms at that. Anything you have found to resolve this?

No.. I just keep trying different Roms. I use resurrection remix latest and it's ok as long s location is completely off. If on high accuracy or battery Saver it kills battery. So I only use sparingly.

huh... so odd. I was excited about this one but I am getting ADs now and the battery issues. Had the same thing in Resurrection and now XOSP. In my troubleshooting, I installed an original ROM and that seemed to run fine. Going to see if someone deodexed one and flash that...

Take a look at this
It may be with 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' activity. Set it to 'Never'.
OR
Step A: Set 'can modify system settings' of 'Xender' in 'modify system settings' to off.
(But by keeping this off, everytime Xender prompts 'allow changing settings' and you need to allow it to use the app. After the use, you need to again do the Step A)

Anyone knows how to stop phone idle eating battery?

I recently bought the lg g6 h870 for europe and i saw that phone idle is eating like 46-50% and android os is eating like 22-25%.This morning i saw that phone idle ate like 75%.Is that even normal.I have to mention that i am on july security patch due to the lack of updates for europe.Anybody knows how to stop phone idle using that much,or i have to wait untill oreo?

https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg6/comments/72t1zh/idle_battery_drain/

We have to wait. This is most likely because of Android 7.0 idle battery drain bug which causes "Phone idle" to be very high and battery-hungry.

I have tried greenify and i have location turned off wifi off bluetooth nfc all are off and i am still getting like 77% phone idle and 22 percent android os while screen is eating only 20% and other apps 2-7%.I am really getting desperate.

Yeah maybe you are right but still it is not normal

Yes, as I mentioned, 7.0 is bugged and there are loads of similar topics not only here, on G6 forum, but also on Nexus, Samsung, Sony forums.
Most of them are connected with "Phone idle" issue.

That's nice mine consumes over 2000Mah over the same amount of time.

Hi all, got H870DS model a week ago and on the first run used LG Mobile Switch as suggested by the device. Transferred all data and settings from G4, all good, didn't take very long. The first 48 hours were quite bad: 2-3% of battery every hour when idling.
Tried Greenefy, all those things, but with no root - poinless. Tried phone hidden menu as well.
Then I downloaded and applied one of the latest HK firmware - still the same.
Note that all this time the phone had no SIM, but was connected to WiFi with all social apps running on background.
Then I decided to go long way: back to factory settings and update the phone in portions. Log in Google account, basic apps - and leave the phone for 2-3 hours. Another 2-3 apps and wait again.
Last ones - social and messengers: one by one, like on the minefield. Folio used instead of FB.
Result: 0% drain overnight. 1% used in the last 14 hours.
Happy with that.
Not sure what kind of settings were transferred from G4 to G6, but that obviously was the reason (in my case) for the drain.
