LG G2 VS980 Battery Drain

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.

Odd battery drain issue that popped up last month

I was previously running andybones' rom from 2.41.605.12 base, then found my way to resurrection remix, great rom, but some update last month killed my battery life and my ability to quick charge, phone was also in constant awake state, but I do not believe the issue was ROM specific. Either way, ran a battery stats report and it appeared that my motion sensors were keeping the phone awake. I completely wiped everything and RUU'd back to 1.19.605.9 (launch firmware), battery drain went away, rapid charging came back, phone would sleep. Performed some OTA updates and everything was fine until it got to the final version of MM 1.85.605.9, rapid charging gone, battery drain back, updated all the way through nougat and nothing changed, still draining.
I am currently back on 1.19.605.9, rooted, twrp installed. Rapid charge and no excessive drain.
What could possibly be causing this? Is anyone else dealing with this?
Here is my post with my last battery stats log

I'm currently dealing with the same thing.

Update: Ran an RUU of 2.41.605.36, then did a full wipe and installed santod40's [ROM][STOCK] 2.41.605.36, chose full wipe, unencrypted install, did some debloating of vzw software... and somehow, I have rapid charging and no wakelock drains...
I have ruu'd before and never resolved the issue. I am not sure what changed in the last RUU for me, but it worked.

...and it's back... lol

So I can't see the full log on my phone, but my phone is having a similar issue. I'm wondering if it's the same as yours. Under partial Wake Locks for BetterBatteryStats it shows NfcService:mRoutingWakeLock runs ALL of the time so my phone never goes into a deep sleep.

To be honest, I didn't even bother getting too deep in to it this time, I ruu'd back to an mm version that I know I don't have this trouble on. 1.85.605.8, and then used santod's debloated 1.85.605.9 after wiping and formatting data. The first time I had the issue, it appeared to be the accelerometer that wasn't allowing the phone to go to sleep... When I looked at the battery stats this time, it didn't seem to be my issue.
If you're s-off, you can downgrade. As much as I would appreciate certain features of nougat, it's not worth it if I have to be attached to a charger all day.
Not sure if it's an issue that carries over with my Google backup, next time I try, I might just do a fresh start and install apps one by one to see if/when it starts.

Battery Issue

So, I have been using the Moto G4 Plus ( Indian Variant -XT1643 ) for a quite few months. Then 1-2 months ago, I rooted it, first with superuser and then replaced it with Magisk. I am using ElementalX kernel. But then after some days , the battery started acting weirdly. It drains very quickly. Also if I charge the phone fully and then reboot in bootloader , it drops to 15-16 . Sometimes the phone switches off at 10% battery. Even in idle, the battery drains very fast. When charged to 100%, the battery page of settings shows something like 45-55 mins left and that too varies. Currently on 56% it's showing 51 mins left. It's just 1 hour ago when I charged my phone to 100%. Is it time to replace the battery or is it a software issue as it drops to 15% in bootloader even if fully charged. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem but only with magisk, wih SuperSU everything is ok ?

Alright, I will try with SuperSu and update you. Thanks for the help.

Its software issue, may be ex kernel, magisk, supersu or any other app is draining it. Use better battery stats or similar like it and see who is sucking your battery juice.
And as you have already rooted your phone then try any custom rom as they dont have its problem (some may have also). And if wanna stick to stock rom then reset your phone and root it and then use for a while you will get the difference from before and now.

Ok. Its good to know that it's a software issue. I already tried factory reset but it didn't help. Strangely, the battery is fine now. I drained it completely and charged to 100%. Maybe that might have reset the battery stats or something. Anyways , if the problem still persists I will try custom ROM. Thanks a lot.

Hmmm, I never had battery drain issues while using ElementalX kernel rooted with Magisk (14.0).
At least not while using Motorola stock Nougat with the above.
Maybe your battery just lost its calibration as you assumed.

i9505 switches off at 30% charge despite changing battery

I was using AOKP ROM. Worked fine for a few days, then my phone would shutdown at 30% charge. Thinking it was a battery problem, I bought a new battery but it still turned off at 30%. So I thought maybe it was rom's fault so now I am running Optimized LineageOS 14.1 ROM. Still it turns off at 30%. What should I do?

Does this happen with a stock ROM?

Haven't tried it. I've been on custom ROMs for a few months now, and it was all fine until last week. It's weird how the phone shuts off exactly at 30% for both roms. And then when I put it to charge, it begins charging from 0%.

If the problem disappears with a stock ROM, then you know it is probably just a software issue rather than being hardware-related.

Battery percentage issue on z17s

Hi.
Yesterday I was using my Nubia z17s as always and before going to bed I decided to charge it, since battery was at around 20%.
When I connected the charger, the screen went off and it didn't wake up, no matter what I did, although I could feel the fingerprint scanner vibration when I used any of the registered fingers. So I decided to hard reboot the phone by keeping the power button pressed.
To my surprise, when the phone booted again, the battery percentage showed 3%. I left it charging overnight and now it's working but the battery percentage is stuck on 3%. I'm pretty sure it's more than that, since I've been using the phone for more than 6 hours and the battery percentage hasn't dropped a bit, and the phone is working (I've made an received a few calls).
A guy at work suggested letting the battery drain completely until the point the phone shuts itself down, and then charging the phone up to 100% while off, so the battery is calibrated and the percentage is fixed. But I've always heard that it's not a good idea to let a battery drain so much. Another problem is that I fear not being able to charge the phone again once the battery gets below 3%.
Any ideas? The phone is running latest Mokee 9 Premium.
Thanks in advance.

Remove "batterystats.bin" in the System folder

I had already tried that. But deleting that file just resets the battery usage statistics. It has nothing to do with the battery percentage

It seems to me that you will have to make a full data backup and perform a factory reset.
ps and which firmware in use?

Hi, I forgot replying.
I finally got the phone up and running again, and the issue seemed to be firmware related.
I was running the phone on Android Pie based Mokee ROM. I finally let the phone discharge until it shut down and charged it while off. Battery got up to 100% and the phone seemed to work fine. But, a few weeks later, something similar happened again, so I reverted to the stock firmware (still stuck at Android 7.1.1) and the battery issues went away.
I recently tested the Android 10 based Mokee and found that it reports battery level very differently than the stock firmware. Before flashing TWRP and the Mokee ROM, the phone was showing 88% battery left. Just after booting Mokee, the phone had apperently dropped to 78% and I also felt quite a huge battery drain. And it had only taken me around 5 minutes to install the recovery and firmware. So I guess the Mokee firmware doesn't handle the battery very well on Nubia z17s. It's a pity, since all the rest works very well, and I quite liked the Android 10 experience. On the other side, I was unable to make Magisk work under Android 10, and Google Pay is a must for me now, so I once again went back to stock firmware.
