random hardware issues? your battery might be going bad!

Hi everyone!
(TL;DR: i had hardware issues - overheating, slow mobile data, crappy battery life on 3G, non-responsiveness, etc. - that all got solved by replacing the battery for a new one)
I've been a faithful N1 user (briefly went to the nexus S, but came back) since april 2010, and my nexus one has been great ever since i got it.
A few months ago, I started having random hardware issues: first my camera led wouldn't turn on, then the speaker and vibrating motor went bad (I replaced all three parts with spares from ebay), and while i thought everything was repaired, I started having serious battery life and other random issues i couldn't really diagnose.
My phone would overheat after around 5 minutes with the screen on (i.e. while reading the morning news), 3G data was spotty and very slow, and the phone would sometimes be unresponsive for brief amounts of time. Also, my battery life dropped from lasting the whole day, to not even reaching 3PM. I managed to solve most of the issues by going 2G only - after all, I said, it's been almost 2 years and the phone was bound to go bad some time - however, the phone never really felt stable again.
In the meantime, I bought an OEM battery and a replacement digitizer (my battery stats blamed the screen for like 90% of battery consumption, so I guessed there was some sort of electric short on the digitizer or lcd, and the battery calibration app said my battery was only 84% fit), so I guessed I could try one last round of repairs before declaring my N1 retired. I even bought a Sensation in preparation to that sad moment.
Long story short, I swapped batteries 2 days ago and all my issues disappeared as if it was magic. Now I'm at 60% battery, with 3G on all day, and it's been 13 hours on, yesterday was similar. The phone has never overheated again since the battery replacement, and has been as responsive as I can remember, and mobile data has been somewhat faster (I blame my carrier for sucky speeds).
So, if you are experiencing weird hardware issues like mine, sudden changes in behaviour or just plain sucky battery life, it might mean it's time to get a replacement!! my battery lasted for about 2 years, and that's a very very good run.
Also, a bad battery was most probably the cause of the other components going bad, since i guess it didn't provide a stable supply of power.
Now I'm in love with my N1 again, and don't know what I'm gonna do with the Sensation I bought in desperation!!
Just sharing my story, maybe it can help somebody get their N1 back on full working condition.

Soooo agree!
I recently got my Nexus from my Dad. He blamed it for many things, included sudden reboot and overheating. I tried a bunch of GB roms, even stock (on which I even can't boot in with SIM on) and then I thought of the battery's fault.
As I can't find an OEM one, I just pick a new chinese battery, a SCUD 1420, the brand is kinda well-known as a decent battery replacement in town. Well, the battery life isn't that good, but now my phone hasn't reboot since then. Especially now when I run ICS, very smooth for an old N1
Still, could you tell me where did you get your battery please? I'm looking for an OEM that has better battery life.
Viva el N1

I bought from this seller on ebay. At least my unit looks ok (not exactly like the original battery that came with the phone, but very close).
it's also quite cheap, considering it revived my phone.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/33046584691...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1849wt_1189

mine gets a little overheat (debug mode even shows "overheating") when charging the original battery.
and since it was new, the touchscreen does not work if the screen is on for a long time while charging.
just got a new 3.2A/H battery, it haven't solved the touch screen the slightest
still not showing overheating though... but the original one showed even when it was new.

[Q] Vertically jerking screen problem anybody?

Had been very pleased with this device in the the three months that I've had it. Until yesterday that is.
Basically the screen is jerking up and down on its own. When looking at the homescreen, the only way I can think to describe it is it's like 60% of the screen starting from the bottom is moving up and down by about 2mm on its own. I can see it eating pixels as it does so (it eats into home screen shortcuts). It also does this jerking motion when in an application or using a the keyboard.
I haven't dropped the phone, it hasn't got wet. It is completely stock unrooted and was bought SIM free in the UK in December and not tied to any network.
Things I've tried to fix it :
1.Numerous reboots.
2. Uninstalling the couple of apps that I'd installed around the time I noticed the problem.
3. Just done a full battery drain and now giving it a full charge keeping it switched off to see if does anything, (can't say I'm hopeful).
Next step is to back up / get my data off it and do a factory reset. Despite the bloatware, the stock ROM isn't too bad.
I was also thinking of just rooting it and running a cyanogen mod also.
Would be great if anyone has any ideas what I can try or if they've seen this issue before and remedied it. I can't find anything in Google and I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a random bad luck hardware problem -- which is worse than it might be on account of living in Southeast Asia -- but the device was purchased in the UK in December. Anybody know if there is such a thing as international warranty for LG phones ?
Thank you in advance.

I wouldn't root it send it to lg it sound like a serious hardware problem the g2 seems to be plagued with problems

Yeah I won't bother rooting it. A factory reset has made no difference and it's actually worse now and totally unusable, the screen just pogo's / jitters up and down an inch at time constantly.
The phone was bought on 22th of December, I'm pretty annoyed at getting little more than three months out of it. It would be understandable perhaps if I dropped it, or it go wet, none of these happened and the hardware has just failed for no reason.
For sure the LG repair centre where I livein Bangkok won't want to know as it was bought in the UK. And no doubt I'll get slammed for import duty both ways together with eating the postage sending back to the UK. I think I'll feel better taking a lump hammer to it and make a youtube stating what I think of £400 phones that last 2 months and carry no international warranty.

Have you dropped your phone?

Yep it is sad I hope my g2 doesn't go through the same thing i will definitely get a backup device sooner than later but like I said earlier the g2 seems to be plagued with problems which means the nexus 5 prob has the same problems maybe maybe not I'm a little nervous now because in the us most of us buy our phones locked with contract in the UK everybody buys there devices unlocked without contract from what I've heard if your looking for a new device I would wait for the xperia z2 looks very nice

Hello, same problem with me too, mine screen starts to jittering (like there is an earthquake inside my phone) after the latest update for kitkat, the updates says for optimising apps and such.
But recently i realize if i block my mobile data, and only using wifi for the data transfer, my phone stabilize much much better than when i used GSM/3G to do internet activity. When i used 3G my phone jittering like crazy, sometimes bottom half of my screen is gray pixels and bottom up of my screen dancing like crazy almost 70-80 % of the time. But when i block my mobile data and using only wifi, 80-90% of the time is OK, still a bit jitterish, but waaay much better.
There is also member of this forum experienced this and suggest to full cycle charger for couple of times. He say his phone stabilize after do full cycle charger (depleted ur battery until conpletely empty, than charge to 100% while turning off the phone). Im trying it tonight.
I also consult with some cellphone tech support (in shopping mall). They say maybe when i did my update, there are some data corruptions, so my phone did not update properly (corrupted). Because when you factory reset your phone, people said that it retain the latest update of software. So if you already did a corrupted update, it will stay even if you factory wipe the phone.

Seizure ?

It's a hardware issue, it's been discussed on this forum dozens of times. If nothing helps (including updating to the latest available version), send it in for repairs.

Does anybody know how much LG would charge to fix this.

Im taking it in on LG Service Center this morning, the tech guy said its Hardware problem, about some sockets loose or something like that, He fix it and because im still have the warranty, so its free, no idea how much if the warranty is expired. And i still retain the KitKat OS (4.4.2). but my data is wiped out.
So far no jitters... I let you guys know if the jitters comeback.

phone automatic jerking
hello my s9380 phone have too much heating problem…during heat my phone is again and again restarting..also my phone is automatic touches screen and automatic jerking….can anyone help me how to solve my phone problem…my phone is rooted phone….

i have this flickering problem 1 week now i try to find a way to remove the rooted status on download mode so i can send it to warranty... anyone can help? flashed kdz with flash tool but rooted still stays red.. i tried to do factory reset using power+volum down but i cant do it...

Op...sounds like you have a faulty digitizer have you sent it in yet?

After 15 months own this phone, now this problem came to me too so unlucky because this happened after my warranty end...
Such a beautiful monster with so many hardware (screen or lcd) defects

I got same issue recently for many days, typically starts after turning screen on. Finally got it fixed by discharging fully and charging back again. No issue now. And I try not to charge phone too often only when battery is close to zero. Try charge and recharge a few times if it doesn't work. Works for me ?
Passing this on so others can benefit.

[Q] Stock VS980 Battey Drain

Hello,
My father has a stock unrooted Verizon LG G2, and is telling me his battery life isn't good he has had for just over a year. When he got his G2 is was running android 4.2.2. and now is running the latest Verizon software. I used to have a G2 but don't have it anymore because i upgraded to the G3 . anyways i looked under battery settings and nothing seems to be hogging the battery! his GPS was off all day, also he turns Wifi off when is is not using it. He had a total time off the charger of 13 hours and just over a hour of screen on time his battery was on 7% when i looked at it, and today we were out snowmobiling all day so he was not sitting in a dead zone all day.
is there any kind of bugs in the latest Verizon Version software that can cause this. If there is that would be great to try. if not i may send him to a Verizon Store, and or try to do a factory reset.

Well we just bit the bullet and did a factory reset. before i did that i charged the battery to full then went on YouTube and found a timer counting down video and let it run for about 2 hours then did some math and figured the battery would have lasted for 7 hours at the rate it was going, so i figured the battery wasn't damaged in any way, then he told me this morning that when he was sleeping his phone only lost 4% of battery so it was software causing it! But for future reference i will try using what your suggested!
When it comes to my phone i am a Flashaholic LoL So im used really never have battery drain issues due to software
i was going to send him to Verizon, but i don't know what they would have done lol i see it this way Verizon may have done a factory reset like me, or try to tell him his phone was damaged, and he need a replacement. in other words suck more money from him! i had a G2 in the past and ripped it apart to replace the screen. so if it was the battery that would have been easy for me to replace
Thanks

What i have noticed so far with the G4

I`ve had the phone for 3 days now and before upgradin from the Iphone 6 ( my first and last iphone) i was really anxious about the many issues listed in the forums especially the touchscreen problem. When i initially got it i started testing everything and I`m glad to say that everything worked fine (sooo relieved) but when i charged it for the first time it charged very slowly, about 3 hours for a full charge, and it got really hot when using lightly the 3rd day a did a factory reset and immediately noticed the the battery charged way faster about 1% per minute ( i dont know how it compares to you other guys) and the phone didnt get nearly as hot. From all this i belive that LG did e very good job hardware wise but i think like many other conapnies fell a little short on the software department and hopefully it will be fixed in the updates to come.

It seems to fix some issues for alot of user so i think its worth a try for anyone whos experiencing any ☺

Mine will start getting hot and eating battery once in a while, but a reboot always fixes that. 1% charge per minute is about what I see on the stock LG charger.

Glad to know its not only me. Have you used a QC with the phone? I ordered a Tronsmart 2.0 QC off ebay hopefully it will work faster without any issues.

I bought the Tronsmart QC 2.0 and its awesome. I go from 48% to close to 100% in the 45min car ride home. I do not notice any heat that is worrying. It does get warm when charging but normal.
My G4 was raging out of the box. Super hot. Brightness was being throttled back between 100, 90, and 80 pretty frequently and it went from 60% to dead in like 15minutes. After I wiped and setup as new, it has been running as one would expect.

Glad to hear that ☺. I actually purchased the wall charger but i guess the performance will be similiar. The one thing i noticed today was the battery life, it seems it is not that great during very light usage but that may be due to the fact that these couple of days the reception has been awful because the carrier im using (Vodafone) is switching to 4G for the first time in my country and ,a little out of topic i know, the download speeds have shocked me, my home connection max download speed is about 400-500kbps and today i witnessed 15-20mbps.

Battery does drain faster in low signal areas. I found that a slow charge at night yeilds longer charges throughout the day. I use fast charge in the car so I can use GPS and still get a charge. But at home and office I use Qi Wireless Charging. I use fast charging at home but only when I am doing heavy useage. I slow charge while I sleep.

How much of a charge do you actually gain in the car with the fast charger while using nav and music with screen on?

Is any of you guys using a micro sd? Im using a Samusng 64Gb class 10 and im experiencing a lot of battery drain even when the phone is on idle and i was thinking if the card has anything to do with it.

I'm using SanDisk class 10 and there's no noticeable difference in my end

It could be the phone is performing media scanning which keeps the phone awake. This should be completed in a day or two.
If you still experience battery drain after couple of days. I'd suggest performing a full format of the micro SD card on a computer. Incase there are bad sectors on the SD card that the phone is stuck on try to read them.

The funny thing is that the the two buying factors for me were the removable back and the micro SD slot, and the only issue I have may or may not be with the micro SD and a slightly loose hinge on the left side of the battery cover but I have experienced that with every phone I had including the g2 and the iPhone 6 without a removable back that had this issue.

Hey,
This is my first LG phone. I'm a bit disappointed, but the camera makes up for everything (mostly).
First of all, the device I'm using right now is the third one within a week. I got it from Vodafone, and the first two had the same issue. When the screen was on, and showing bright things, the front speaker would give out a high pitched whistle sound. You could only hear it initially if you held it to your ear. However in recorded videos it was clear and loud enough to be very very annoying. This third unit is ok it seems, but my advice to everyone is to try the G4 before leaving the shop. It might just be a bad batch that was made for Vodafone, a similar thing happened to me with my HTC One X, that had screen issues, and there too I had to go through several devices.
I did notice lag, Nova Launcher helps, but I'm really looking to root the thing and putting CM or some AOSP rom on it. My S5 seems way snappier with BlissPop on it. The only problem with that is I loose the camera app, the thing I bought it for in the first place.
The battery is ok, but I expect more. I haven't had heat issues. The GPS draines the battery though really bad. If you don't use a charger whilst navigating, you'll go flat within an hour,which is not stellar at all. If you use a normal 2.1A charger, you can keep it on level, or might even add a few %.
The camera is awesome, and the leather back too. Cool that at Vodafone you get the leather and a plastic back in the box.

Thankfully I didn't have any hardware issues, I have the Hong Kong version because there's where most of retailers get the phones in my country, I think there's a lot room for improvement software wise and I'm hoping coming updates especially android M, will refine this device even more. I really hoped my I would get the plastic back cover in the box and I'm really jealous of those who did ??

Im starting to notice two more things with the G4, the battery cover (leather) is making a creacking noise when i press it on some areas, and the other one is the with the vibration motor that makes a little bit of noise compared to other phones ive had, has any of you guys experienced this?

[Q] FIX old LG2, or buy new phone, that is the question??

Hey all!
I have a serious predicament with my phone situation. Currently i own an iPhone 5s that im getting rid of, i have an Old LG 2 (VZW Edition unlocked) with a cracked screen that i can fix for $100.
My question is, is it worth it for me to fix the LG G2 for $100..or should i just buy a different flagship device thats newer...say from 2014 or 2015.
Any help would be so appreciated..

A new phone would be better but like you my phone was broken for a a year and I only got it repaired a week go and I must say despite advances in Camera I'm honestly loving this phone it is still super fast and the battery is amazing. People at school are still asking me what phone this is and say the phone looks fresh. I'm currently on CM12 but having trouble to get to CM13 but I seem to be like the only person.

I really can't afford anything too new right now, and i dont do a whole lot of stuff on my phone, just need a good stable device that is still fast for web browsing, email and some light games. And i also remember this phone having amazing battery life, something i dont have with this damn iphone 5s..
I bought the LG G2 in 2014, summer, and i broke it probably a month after i bought it. Do you think the battery may have degraded over time? it took a LONG time for me to get it to 95% charge last night..over 5 hours. Is this normal for the G2?
Thanks for your response!

the charge seems to be holding normally..we'll see once i reflash and factory reset how things go

I really can't afford anything too new right now, and i dont do a whole lot of stuff on my phone, just need a good stable device that is still fast for web browsing, email and some light games. And i also remember this phone having amazing battery life, something i dont have with this damn iphone 5s..
I bought the LG G2 in 2014, summer, and i broke it probably a month after i bought it. Do you think the battery may have degraded over time? it took a LONG time for me to get it to 95% charge last night..over 5 hours. Is this normal for the G2?
Thanks for your response!

Okay I kept charging my phone when it was broken but Yes the battery could have degraded cause mine has but I'm still getting good battery life.
I would normally switch to Aeroplane mode when I go to school and my battery would remain on 100% until i put mobile data on and start using the phone if I listen to music at school and play the odd game ( Drift Zone 2 is my fav right now ) It will still last me the whole day until I get home and I will put it on charge at 10 or 11 depending on how heavy I use it when I'm home.
I suggest finding some way to see how the battery is performing and if everything is good then I would replace the screen and use the phone.
It really is still a great phone for what you would want it for. Its fast with all tasks and can still handle games. For me The only downfall is the camera. I think it is outdated but that would only be a problem if you are crazy about taking photos.
