Juggling two batteries - T-Mobile LG G2x

I just got a second battery, but when inserted, it shows the last battery percentage from the previous battery. The G2x is designed to be used only with one battery? Or is that a feature of Android? that's just stupid.
Anyways, how do you guys and girls do it? Do I have install Battery Calibration and calibrate everytime I insert another battery?

I've had this happen to me, I think that restarting after inserting the new battery does the trick.

Just leave the battery out for like 20 seconds. It'll then recognize the new battery.

This was brought up before by me and this is indeed the fix.

Sooo, does that mean that if I let the phone run on one battery until it gets down to 0%, if I put a charged battery, will it turn on?

Yes it will it. If you just wait a little bit before putting the new battery in it will act like normal tho

overheat battery

My battery was overheating so I just took out the battery. It was at low battery before so it said connect to an AC charger. If I take it out and put it back in to charge when its done will it turn on?
I think you should put the battery in but not charging, and see if it's heating up again. Could be a one 1 time thing.

Nah I got it I just took out the battery for a while to cool down and put it in to charge. But thanks

[Q] Did I break my battery??

I flashed weapon onto my g2x and like it...used it for like 5 days,then I was calibrating my battery by charging it fully, using a battery calibration app to reset the stats when it was at 100%, and I drained the battery to 0%.
I was playing a movie when it hit 0%, it showed t-mobile's goodbye screen, but never shut off. I let it sit there and walked away. 30 minutes later t-mobiles goodbye screen was still on the screen, and I removed the battery...put it back in, plugged in the charger, then couldn't get it to turn on. I let it charge for 3 hours (the plug was surely live, it would charge my evo 3d when I tested the charger), but still can't get the phone to do anything!
I'm guessing something went wrong with the battery, so I ordered a replacement...but I can't understand what or why. What do you guys think? I'm a little worried that it was something more than the battery but I won't know till the battery is here in a few days.

It is possible the Battery is fried. Today's batteries should never be drained to 0. There are charge circuit's inside that can be damaged.
solved
taking the battery out and putting it back in didn't work...but it did finally come on once I removed the sim card.
wierd...oh well, glad its back up and running. I saw someone in a comment somewhere say they couldn't get theres to power back on until they removed the sim card...and it worked for whatever reason.
It has been said by a Google developer for android that battery calibration doesn't do anything for the battery.
Battery stats only tell you what's been running and using battery, not anything about the capacity of your battery.
Not sure but I think your battery is just very dead. I suggest to keep trying to charge, but make sure the phone isn't getting too hot.
Here it is.

And just for future reference the g2x has issues with turning off due to a dead battery. So if it ever dies like that again just pull the battery immediately. Also sometimes it won't even make it to 0%, I've had mine die at as high as 4%.

The phone's charge circuit can't be damaged by a "dead" battery, the charge circuit is self-monitoring and protects itself, the phone and the battery.
The battery can be damaged by its voltage being too low or being charged improperly. A cheap battery with no or fake charge and temperature monitoring can overheat and cause damage to itself and the phone.
Cheap external battery chargers, or those which aren't meant for the type of battery being charged, can/will damage the battery. Overheated batteries can catch fire and/or explode.

HUGE battery drain problem

I'm using a Verizon SIII rooted with the bootloader unlocked. This problem just showed up today. I put the phone on the charger at 13% then, more than 2 hours later still on the charger my phone drops to 8%. I want to restore to from a Nandroid but I'm afraid the phone will die out before it can finish. What should I do?

Sounds like either your phone was not charging at all, your battery has gone completely bad, or your phone is not reporting the battery stats correctly. Try a different outlet? Use an external charger? Different cable?
What all have you tried? I.E. changing wall plugs, doing a battery pull that kind of stuff.

I got this phone quite recently. I hope the battery isn't bad. But the battery is charging, or at least the phone thinks it is because my red LED is on indicating the phone is charging. It may be data related as I turned airplane mode and power saving on and its now charging. I'll be able to restore to a Nandroid soon and hopefully whatever is causing my problem will go away. Anyway have any other idea what could have happened?

Well it really depends what your charging it with. If its not getting enough power from a certain outlet or power source then it might burn juice faster than its taking in.

I used the same outlet I always have. I'll try another one.

I took this for you guys if it helps. Normally my screen is what takes the most of my battery. Now however, its the android system. Any ideas?

I got my GS3 Tuesday and i had to replace mine Friday because it was dead and wouldn't take a charge so it might be your battery.
Why don't you shut the phone off and then charge it. Then restore your back up.

First off, I agree with Anumunir. Replace the battery. It's a used phone. The slow charging is an indicator that the battery is old and worn out. Good batteries are cheap (Search for Anker on Amazon or eBay and that's what you want)
However, the issue with the phone jumping to 100% is adding to your problems. That's kind of normal....but it can be minimized. The problem this creates is that the phone thinks it's at 100% so it shuts off the power circuit to the battery so it stops charging. But it's not at 100%. It's at like 70%. So after you unplug, it quickly starts dropping to what the actual charge is. So it looks like it's draining fast.
Here's how you minimize this...
Frist, get the new battery..because why not?
Second, drain the battery until the phone shuts off. Restart it, plug it in, and let it charge all the way. Don't reboot. Don't mess with it. Just let it charge. When it gets to 100%, keep letting it charge more for another hour.
Third, use the phone until it drains all the way down and shuts off again. Play videos or a graphically intensve game if you need to in order to burn the battery down. Don't reboot it until you use up the battery.
Fourt, plug it in and recharge it all the way back up again. Now it should be smoothed out a bit so you don't get those big battery jumps on reboot.
Don't bother with 'battery calibration' apps or wiping battery stats that someone will repond to you thread with. They don't do anything. It's an urban myth.

Ey mate, I have the same problem. My battery is fully charged after ten hours or more. I cant afford to buy a new one, so, what did you do with yours¿?

problem with battery or motheboard?

Guys, suddenly with 100% charge, the phone shuts off and restarts alone, and it's like bootloop, then I put it in charge and go. I noticed that while in bootloop, if I go in twrp I do not see the battery charge. I'll put him in charge and go. The ROM is not the problem. Another thing I noticed that sometimes when I do this problem and I charge it, I see the battery while it is charging, as when charging it off and it ranges from 1% to the% where it was actually knocking on second, or every second increases by one. Motherboard or battery problem?
the problem is not every day.
Help
