Hello,
I've bought my LG G2 about 2 weeks ago, and suddenly, a few days ago, it started to charge real slowly with the original charger (about 4 hours approx. 10%). And today I charged it overnight with a different charger, it did go to 100%, but the battery is draining really fast.
*Maybe I should mention that the importer of the LG G2 who supplies the device to the store where I bought it from, is flashing their own "stock ROM" to have my country's language (It's basically the stock ROM just added language)
Is it a known problem? Is covered by the warranty? Your suggestions?
Thank you!
Once I had similar problem, but it was allways good after reset or two ( In my case the SLOW CHARGING was HIGH LOAD so it was using the battery, and was realy hot)
In the end I went to replace the motherboard and the problem was gone.
So it is a known problem with the LG G2 ? some of them come with defective motherboards ?

Hi to all,
i've a big problem with my Touch HD.
about 1 month ago batteries of my phone starting to degrade (i've 2 battery : the original 1 of 1,350mh and a second bought from ebay of 1,500mh).
At the beginning, even after a full night of charging, the battery charge was at max 70%, with the phone lasting no more than a couple of hours with low usage.
Suddenly the thing get worts and even after 1 or 2 full days of charge the battery gain max 5% of charge, with phone lasting 10/15 minutes!
I'd think about some battery problem (strange to both at the same time, but who knows?) and I've bought another original battery.
Well, THE SAME EXACTLY PROBLEM, with the battery not charging more that 5%, even after 3 days!
The salesman where i've bought the phone (an electronic superstore) said me that probably it's a Phone Software failure... It really could be? and what can i do to fix it?
Obviously, I've also the problem that at the moment a not-original bootloader + rom is on the phone, so probably HTC will say to me that warranty is now broken... Any possibilities to reload the original fullpack in any way without the battery?!
thx
You can try charging your battery with a universal Li-ion battery charger and then put it back inside HD and remove the 'illegal' stuff, before sending to HTC
I have an external charger and I've tried to charge all the 3 battery..
After few mins charger led turn from red to green... so I've checked the battery with a tester and i've found che all the batteries are fully charged...
So the phone could be totally f***ed up?!
is there someone that could have any idea on how much it will cost to change the motherboard (i've read somewhere in internet that it could be my problem) out of warranty?
thx
Need to share this, I posted this under T-Mobile but it should be under GT-I9050
My Galaxy S4 (GT-I9050) is turning itself off randomly, the battery indicator show it is more than 70% full. I did all sorts of factory resets and changed different ROMs, I even reverted to stock ROM but it still happened.
I noticed that it never turns off while it is connected to a power supply, which indicated a battery issue.
I checked on the net and some reported battery problems with S4 – bulging - due to keeping it charging overtime. My battery appeared OK until I compared it to a new one; it is notably swollen / bulged so I think I need to change it – it only 4 months old.
I owned many phones over the years and most of the time I keep it charging overnight without a problem, my understanding is that phones stop charging when the battery is full; does the S4 continuously charge?
I had the same issue. I just got mine back from the shop 2 days ago with a new battery and the latest firmware. The batteries are managed, there is no such thing as overcharging anymore. We were just unlucky to have a crappy battery. Mine died after a mere 2 months...
Update:
I replaced my battery with a new one and it is working fine, it is actually lasting almost 2 days.
It is interesting that the shop were I purchased the batter told me that they noticed higher demand for S4 batteries as they are failing more than any other phone.
Not sure of this is related to issues with the batteries or the charging software of the phone.
I have two months from the S4 and I noticed recently that the phone after plugging in the charger charges up to 100% and never stops charging.
After 1-2 hours, the phone is warm but still indicates that this is charging.
After disconnecting the charger in a few minutes the charge status of the battery drops to 80% and later is "normal", the phone works for a few days.
I tried the charger from HTC, Xperia Z but still the same problem.
In S3 there was no such problem.
He met someone with something like that?
Clean your usb port. Probably it got wet somehow.

Well now that you've charged it with a different kind of charger that may have less or more required power rating, time for a new battery... But for your situation you needed a new one anyway if it was doing that. My S2 did the same thing (replaced it with a new battery now it's running normal). But yeah never use a different charger unless it has the same power rating or whatever its called. Since your S4 is only two months old claim it under warranty and get a new one.
Other chargers tested just as soon as you notice problems with charging the.
Before taking the warranty will test a different battery.
A new battery will cost less than anything related to the warranty...
fter many wipe on the original firmware looks as if the problem is gone.
But change the firmware to another, such as Omega causing the problem comes back: (
Hello,
I am using One Plus 2 for a few years already. Lately I started suffering because of battery drain and long time charging. Problem is quite serious because while charging and using phone battery % is getting down. It takes whole night to charge it to 100% and in the midday I have 20% left.
I tried to use different chargers and cables. Didn't help.
Today I changed battery to new one. Didn't help.
Wiped out unofficial rom, installed official stock one. No addtional apps installed. Didn't help.
I am charging it with charge monitor app and while on AC charging I get very unstable charging graph. I need to turn off screen and leave phone untouched to charge it.

Where else to look for a reason?
Usually LTE connection drain the battery. Try disable it and try for few hours.
I tried to charge it with airplane mode. Didn't help neither.
Hi
Did you resolve your issue? I have same situation but I think that happened after when I do update Oxygen, now charger my battery is really slow and drain battery really quick. I can just leave, not touched my OP2 for all day and the battery after 8hrs got 30%. I buy original battery and still nothing change for better.

Hi
Have you tried to change the charging cable. I had the same issue and changed the charging cable. It worked for me.

Another problem is with a cable because original cables for OP2 can't buy anywhere right now, the company OnePlus has stopped production this cable for this device so I buy original cable Dash Charger from site oneplus.net
Three possibilities (at least):
* The charger is not working
* The cable is not working
* The battery is failing
Solutions for the first two are more obvious than the last one. Pick up a new or working used charger/cable. But the battery is a little dicier. And frankly, it is also more likely the cause for this than a bad cable or charger (esp. charger). But re the battery... No direct sales from Oneplus are available except via an official Oneplus repair job, which requires you sending your phone to them and them replacing the battery. Obnoxious, eh?!
The unofficial route? This is frowned on by many here, but not me. Buy a cheap ebay battery for the oneplus 2. Look for one that at least promises the battery's power matches the phone's specs. I bought one for $12 from an American seller (because I wanted a bit more accountability if it didn't work). They do work. They also take a while to start reporting their voltages and charges correctly, and must be charged / discharged completely a few times before things start getting accurate.
That's no official answer... just one guy's experience. Hope it helps.
Hi guys, about a month ago accidentally I dropped my phone, when I picked it up it was a bit thicker than usually so I opened it and the battery was a bit swollen and one of the corners from above was broken imgur.c om/a/KMLiaG2 . I knew that the swollen batteries should be changed because the risk of getting on fire or explosion, so I bought a new battery from a Telekom Shop, the only shop with batteries from my city imgur.c om/a/GOCQktK . I noticed that the new battery made in china is suddenly draining fast when reaches 37% and dies when it reaches 30%. I did numerous battery calibrations, deleting batterystats.bin, letting it in charge over night, factory resetting my phone but it was useless. It was still dying at 30%. I was going back to that shop and they ordered a new battery to change the defective one. After 3 days it arrived and guess what, this battery is draining fast as well, when reaches 25% till 5% and dies. If I use my old battery it still working good. I can use it 6-7 hours with no problems, but the batteries made in china are keeping about 3-4 hours till it start to drain fast. What's the problem? My phone has become accustomed to the old battery? For real now, 2 new battery in row and both of them are defective? Also, I noticed today that the new battery was 20% while charging, so I restarted the phone and it was 52%. Also, how is possible that my phone with new battery shows that the apps that use my battery are only 50%? I know that about 15% is used by phone background, but what is using the rest of 35%? imgur.c om/a/DEvd4F what's the problem??
That's just typical of cheap batteries. Unless you order an original online than your wasting your time.
Look up other manufacturers aswel with a good reputation.
