N7 Shuts after 15%

I did a search here, and most issues ive read similar to this is because the battery is old, and can be recalibrated.
however, i noticed mine shuts down and turns off at around 13-15% and its just a week old.
anyone else having the same problem? or is this a problem at all?

There was another person on here, his was shutting down at 25% but he was rooted and unsure if the issue lie with the rom.

I did saw a battery calibration tool here but it needs to be rooted and need to reflash rom,
don't really want to reflash rom,
although battery does last about 7-9 hrs of active usage before it goes to 15% then it dies after that.

My unit does something similar,at when it hits about 7%. It shuts down and won't boot or do a hard reset, as if the battery is dead. I'm already going through with an RMA however for the screen. When the replacement arrives (any day now) I'm going to see if that one does it too.
Hopefully a software update will be ale to fix this.

Thanks
Anyone else having the same issue? want to know if i'll ask for a replacement, or just stick with it.
Im actually overseas, and sending it back will be expensive.

Mine does this too at around 11-12%. Was watching a video, got the low battery warning at 11%, then it just turned off. I'm already RMAing it for ghosting and screen separation - think mine was assembled at 4:59pm on a Friday.

10-20% (+/-) battery drop after a reboot

I've already tried doing a battery calibration as recommended by many people on the V20 threads, buts this is still happening to me. If I reboot my phone, when the phone comes back on, my battery level has dropped 10-20% (give or take). I know reboots can consume battery, but this is quite a large consumption.
Last night, for example, my battery was at 60%, but after I rebooted, I was immediately at 25%.
Again, I've down the whole calibration thing at least 5x now, and it hasn't helped with this. So now I'm wondering:
1) Is anyone else having this issue, especially with the same variant as me (see below)
2) Is this a Nougat 7.0 issue
3) Is this a battery (hardware) problem. I ordered one of the spare battery kits that come with an extra battery. I figured that I'd try the new battery, but if it doesn't help, then I have a second battery anyway.
ATT variant (h910)
Running on ATT
Battery life has been mediocre to poor, and I've disabled so many features by now that it's gotten kinda ridiculous.

Yeah, I didn't think it was normal. I was hoping it was a Nougat 7.0 issue, but I wasn't hearing anyone else with this issue. And as stated too, my battery life hasn't been great. I make it through the day, but only of the phone isn't used much. Otherwise, the battery will drain pretty fast.

What was your calibration method? Running it down to zero once should be good enough then charge with phone on or off without using it to 100%. If still doing it try your other battery. If still doing it exchange.

I pretty much did as you just said.
I ran the battery down until the phone powered off. Then I kept attempting to power it on until the LG logo stopped showing up and the phone said that there wasn't enough power to turn on. Then I charged the phone to 100% while phone was still off. Once it hit 100%, I left it charging for another 2 hours.
Overall, it helped, but once I reboot the phone, the battery always drops quite a bit as stated in my first post.

Do you have twrp intalled? I think Lg has a problem with it's battery stats because of the removable battery. On my v10 I had two spare batteries. When one got to like 4% I would power down and pop in the new one. When back on it would read the battery at like 19% or something to the liking. I had to leave my phone off for about 30 secs between changes. I was having similar issues to what you're describing with my v20. I ended up formatting data in twrp and then set my phone up old school style with manual app installation and no data transfer whatsoever. I let the phone die completely and then charged while on uninterrupted. I then at 100% unplugged it and plugged it back in for 20 minutes. My battery has been perfect since. I would also note similar issues on the G4 too. I think this is the cause for the notorious Lg bootloop.. My G4 did it right before the battery drained out and so did my V10..

I had that problem on an old note 4. But not a drastic a jump in percentage. Brought it to Samsung and they just changed the battery and the problem went away.

I heard similar issues when I had my Note 4, but in this (using a new Android OS that not many other phones have yet), I wasn't sure if this was hardware or software. I really hope the second battery fixes the problem!

I'd rather not since I don't have the time to re-setup all the programs I need for work. It takes several days to get everything up and running again, and after having to do this 2x already this past month thanks to the Note7, I don't want to go through it all AGAIN. Its too much of a hassle and shouldn't be necessary since this is a new phone. I mean, w y reset a new phone that's only a couple weeks old?

Is your 6p affected by the early shutdown issue?

Hey all,
I'd like to get a better view on how much 6p's are affected by this issue. I really have no clue what % we're talking about. So.. Is your 6p affected by the early shutdown issue? If not, could you tell us when you've bought your phone and, if you have accubattery installed, the capacity (health) of your battery?
Thanks in advance!

Sure am, and it's died at as high as 45% and as low as 15%. Accubattery pegs the health at about 60% and I've only had the phone about 15 months. Wanted this to be the first one I kept for two years.... Not looking likely with my 2 hours of SOT.

Yeah this is really bad. Fortunately, I've got a new battery in it thanks to warranty. But now I'm really afraid to use the phone. I'm waiting on a response from Google on all this before using my phone again. I've used it after repair for a couple of days to see if the problem was fixed: it was.
Can't wait for the oneplus 5 to be released.

It infuriates me because I love the phone and don't want to buy a new one.... But I can't have something that is going to die on me. I'm pretty pissed off with the state of Google hardware in general right now. Both the 5x and 6P are bootlooping and dying for no discernible reason, the Pixel and 6P have battery issues, although the Pixel, so far at least, doesn't seem to have them nearly as widespread. I feel like my phone is a ticking time bomb and that's really, really not cool.
Plus the supply issues with the Pixel all but rule that out as a replacement anyway.
I've owned three of the last four generations of Nexus phones, and while I was elated with the 6P when I got it, that glow has faded significantly. .

Yeah that ticking timebomb feeling is really annoying. I don't even dare to use the phone now it actually works, because I'm afraid that I'll f*ck up my new battery. I'm trying to wait for an official response from Google, but it's hard. I really want to know if some software f*ckup is causing these batteries to degrade faster.

I had the issue also. I bought mine in October 2015. Accubattery was showing the battery at 60% and was shutting down at random once it got below 40%. Google sent me a refurbished phone even though it was out of warranty. So far this one hasn't shut down early and accubattery shows 95%.

I got my phone mid February (Best Buy) last year and do not have the problem. Accubattery shows my battery health at 93% (3220mah). But I also protect my battery as much as possible with when to charge and never let my phone stay plugged in when topped off either.

Never had early shutdown. Had my 6p for a few months. Accubattery shows 99%.

Does the battery life itself seem to be better as well? Part of my problem is that with the screen on I'm looking at an obscene drain. According to accubattery my average drain with screen on is 1100ma/h. Hell it dropped two percent in the time it took me to type this.

Yeah the battery life is a lot better. I was doing good to get 2 hours SOT on my old phone. Same setup on this one is getting 4 to 4.5 hours SOT. I don't recall what my average drain was before but now it's about 450 ma/h. Here is a screenshot.

I may have to give that a shot then. Buying a new one really isn't in the budget right now. Did you flash back to stock or relock the bootloader before you sent it in?

Never had early shutdown, and have had my 6P since launch.... Mostly custom AOSP roms....

I'm not sure it was necessary but I flashed back to stock and relocked bootloader. I didn't want to take any chances especially since they were replacing it out of warranty. Worst case I could have used Nexus protect either way. They tried to get me to do that when I called. I refused and once I mentioned the Reddit thread they agreed to replace. Saved me the $79.00 deductible.

Nope
:good::good:We have two in our family and neither one is affected. One was purchased Late 2015 and another early 2016. Both show over 95% capacity in Accubattery (mine is 97%) and I can run the battery down to 1%. Both are stock 7.1.1 one is unlocked and rooted, and the other has never been unlocked. Although I could not vote for each phone, it will be interesting to check poll results a few months down the road.

Google's official position is that the early shutdown problem and boot loop of death are both hardware issues. People are experiencing both problems on stock Marshmallow and Nougat as well as on custom ROMs.

Just as an update, I got my RMA last week and it has behaved flawlessly since. Accubattery is actually reporting 101% battery health, and It's taking a little getting used to having a phone that the battery doesn't die in two hours.

Is the Android O beta FIXING the sudden shutdown on 6P ?

Hi.
Many of us has sudden shutdown on Android 7.1.1/2...
May be some one knows will the O version fix it ?
Thanks !

Unlikely. The "sudden shutdown" issue is believed to be a battery problem, not an OS issue.

The same we said about 7.1.2 and nothing happened and since Google is still silent means they can't ever fix it or they don't want to bother. I think Huawei just used very crappy low quality motherboards/batteries in all 6Ps or just in some.

Replace your battery...

Nobody knows FOR CERTAIN if it's software or hardware related. Seeing that it has tackled the issue on the pixel, they could have looked into it for the 6P. You can try reaching Google support about that since that kind of issue would be a defect whether it be softwares or hardware related.

Well Pixel had the same issue and they fixed it with 7.1.2. The 6P appears to be something entirely different. Most probably bad quality batteries.

I don't understand how early shutdowns are batter related. Degraded batteries just hit 0% quicker, but to have it just shut down at 30%?

1.) Only effects a tiny amount, even though all are using same software
2.) Not fixed by installing any software, even custom versions
3.) Would not need to be a degraded battery, would more likely be a faulty motherboard

Too many people changed the battery and solved this issue.
But still there could be also to many people that changed the battery and still have the issue (I'm not sure of the second part though)

Offtopic: For the 5X there is a theory about not controlling max temperature when it's booting android and this could had affected the bad soldering of the logic board (specially when it's applying a complex OTA like the one updating from Android M to N..this is why I think many people blamed N to introduce the bootloop in the 5X many phones died hours after this update...but mine died from 7.1.2 beta to 7.1.2 beta II an smaller OTA/update)
As for the 6P I don't really know...this issue started with N? If it's the battery maybe the Huawei battery is very sensible to heat and degrades quickly?
My theory so far (as a new 6P user with terrible battery life and early shutdown) is that the Huawei battery is terrible.

how many have used aftermarket batteries with no issues?

I have 3 aftermarket batteries and over time have all showed the same issues. they may/may not boot, but even if they do, randomly for no reason whatsoever just turn off, like if I were to pull the battery out. it will boot but then keep bootlooping.
as soon as I put in the oem battery, its all fine.

Not the same issues but I have a supposed OEM battery which boots but then then phone screen show “Invalid battery” and it shuts down. My V20 is the V995 Verizon model. The battery look the same as the original with the exception that on the top next to the contacts there is a small area, which on the original battery has a white spot, whereas the spare has nothing.

Same thing here with OEM batteries, it's rare but it's happened a couple of times after inserting a new battery. I just hit the power button again and it boots properly and works OK. My wild guess is maybe the battery didn't make proper contact? Dirty contact, maybe? Don't know, it never fails a second time and it's been weeks since the last failure so I'm not worrying about it and if your phone reboots OK after the error and shutdown, I wouldn't worry about it either.
Oh, FWIW, both my batteries have the white spot you mention.
Update, just did it again, hit the power button and rebooted with no problem. It's mildly annoying but not worth worrying about IMHO.

Hi
My battery still shows as "Invalid " on reboot, every time. Have ordered another and hopefully this one will be ok.

They were sold as official OEM but the markings on the back have small differences
I also have a zero lemon but it's no where near the quality of the others.

These days batteries lasts only two years. After that one day battery will stop working suddenly. This happened to my one plus one which was having normal battery but started rebooting suddenly one day. The service center guy said these modern batteries have some kind of kill switch which will trigger after a number of charging cycles.
The reason I bought lg v20 with an extra battery was to use it longer that two years.

I'm using this one since several months and had no issues. It took a few charges before getting my usual 4-hour SOT though. https://www.amazon.ca/Perfine-BCK-5200-BL-44E1F-Replacement-T-Mobile/dp/B06XTYCXJ5

I've had 6 different varieties of battery, including the IPossible 6600 (?) and the Li-Po. I've gotten the invalid battery message a couple of time but I just reboot and everything is fine. I've had the phone since 10\16 and I'll think about getting the LG V50 a year after it's released. I love this phone\Audio-God!

Still getting "Invalid battery" and shutdown, reboot and the same thing happens. Still waiting on my replacement due 18th. Original battery is now not lasting a full day but then I have had the V20 since Jan 2017. My main problem is that Amazon will not send batteries or liquid items to here in N. Ireland so have to try and source elsewhere.

I bought the Powerbear 3200 MAH, haven't received yet. but do you guys recon it's good?
