[Q] Can not get correct battery reading! Please Help!! - T-Mobile LG G2

All of a sudden my phone started to turn off when it read that there was still battery life left on device. But it will not boot up until I plug it into a charger. Once I do, there are times it reads 100% charge, random %, or completely dead. Since the first time there hasn't been a time it has properly drain the battery with a proper shut down. I have done numerous factory resets and complete wipe/fresh ROM flash. Currently I am on CM snapshot M6. If anyone could please me that would be great. It is starting to become pain in my side.
Thanks.

[Q] Power Issue.. Please Help!

Hi all,
There's this problem with my phone that everytime I charge it, it takes an elongated time to do so. This issue first emerged when I was on stock GB after a minor OTA update which added the power saver toggle to the quick settings menu..The problem is that it takes about 4-5 hours to fully charge the phone, and if I rebooted in the middle of charging when it's about 70% or 80%, it suddenly shows that the phone is fully charged, and the indicator becomes green! But afterwards the battery drains as quickly!
Now I have S-Off and using ARHD 6.6.3 ROM, but it seems the problem persists ..I wiped battery stats as soon as I flashed the ROM as well..Although it's not a problem I cannot live with, it's annoying enough when it happens.
Can someone please help me? And suggest me what to do?

its common thing...the battery calibration is not proper that's all...
also you need to wipe stats once you charge your phone to 100%
then battery will try to calibrate ...and after 3-4 full complete cycles (100-0 and 0-100)
the battery will settle..
the battery drain will be there ...whenever you flash a rom or flash a kernel....battery only settles atleast after 2 full cycles
EDIT: also download currentwidget from market..as the name says its a widget..so you will see it in widgets once you installed it...this will give you more proper reading of battery...when you plug your phone to charge...and when current widget reads 0mah then your battery is charged completely...(it might take a long time to read 0mah...but charge it until you see 0mah)..then wipe the battery stats...so after this battery calibration will be proper
Also the sudden jump of battery percentage is due to improper battery calibration
so dont worry you got no problem
So
I read somewhere that you are not supposed to let the phone go to zero because it could cause your phone to not power back on anymore..is this fact. I couldn't find where I read it to back and read again. Mine has been doing some weird things as well...the led turns green before it is 100% and it goes from 100% and drops to like 89% out of no where.

when i meant 100%-0% means until your phone turns off due to less power..it might not(or won't be) be 0% then
as i told you that kind of jumps are common ...in my case it went to 60% to 100% when i rebooted ...also the dropping used to be in large scale too

[Q] Battery Stuck at 100% for an hour, shuts off at 20%

Hey guys, i've seen some other threads about batteries being stuck at 100% but they were generally with rooted devices so i figured i'd make one here.
The Problem
My infinity will charge fine, usually 1% per minute and when discharging going from 100% to 35% in about 5 hours screen on time, mainly using web apps, no real gaming, maybe dead trigger for 20 mins per charge. However when i take my tab off the charger it will stay at 100% for over 45 mins, and most recently over 1h 20m, causing the battery reading to be way off. Today it randomly shut down claiming i had 20% left.
Does anyone have any ideas? Like i said device is non-rooted and i dont have much interest in rooting it. Problem started just before we got the Jelly Bean update, and i got the tab in mid august, so it was working fine for a couple months.
The next logical step would be to factory reset and contact asus if that doesn't solve anything. I was hoping to avoid that if you guys had any tips or tricks.
Thanks
My TF700T has just started doing this. So your not the only one. I've only just started to search around for a solution.

I suggest you make a backup then do a a factory reset (twice). After that check to make sure this issue is gone, before re install any apps. If this doesn't resolved the issue, you need to reflash the full Asus firmware. This eliminated your software issue, and the last 1% chance is your hardware.(but very rare).

I've done as you suggested. Including factory reseting the tablet twice.
I've had the tablet off the charger for 14 hours and 28 minutes. And it's still showing 100%...
Worth noting: It was fully charged with the dock this morning. I've taken the tablet off the dock and used it for the day and it's still 100%
Anyone else got any other suggestions?
Same problem here, started two days ago, the transformer shuts down at ˜33-35%. Installed battery monitor app and it reports ˜500mAh still availble just prior to the shutting down. After it shuts down it's dead until I plugg it the power chord, it charges to 100% but then the same story again, shutting down at 33-35% remaining battery left. I've tried the battery calibration app which deletes the batterystats.bin file but that didn't do anything. Also tried three factory resets without any success... I'm on stock ROM but rooted.
Any ideas to what to try now? Or should I wait for the next firmware upgrade and see if the reflashing of the firmware will resolve this?
How do I reflash the installed firmware version, want to try that next...

What do your power saver settings show under settings?
Mine are at 10%
Have you factory reset your tablet recently?

Everything in power saver settings is left default, 15%. But the transformer never reaches that level..
Oh, and I also have the same behaivor as the orginator of this thread, the battery shows 100% for good while after a full charge until it stops dropping, forgot to mention that. My tablet is four month old and this just started... Unfortunaltey is feels like a HW issue with the battery reporting the wrong remaining charge to the OS... But I will wait for a new firmware to see if a reflash resets the battery configuration somehow.

My TF700 shut down at 25% battery today. I think it's time to contact ASUS to see what they can do.

Try to poweroff your device and let it stay down for 1/2 hrs, then power it back on see if that resolved your issue.
You need to recalibrate the battery.

This is what I did. except I left it plugged in over night, then unplugged it, turned it on and it is back to normal.

I tried this to no avail. Worth noting the device was off for about 5 hours when the battery went flat. I've also tried turning it off and charging it.
I have a TF700 on a TF300 dock, and I have found that if I unplug the tablet from the dock, while the dock is plugged into the wall, it stays at that battery level until I plug it back into the keyboard. Deleting batterystats.bin, turning it off, waiting long enough for it to get to 8.4V, and then doing a cold boot seems to fix it.

Battery Issue

I have been using Nexus 5 for a year and half now. After upgrading to android 6.0.1 recently, I have been facing serious battery issues, such as:
1. Sudden shut down of the device, from various % of battery remaining. After trying to switch back on, the battery shows empty, or even 5-10% charge remaining.
2. If I charge it fully and then switch to safe mode, the phone works fine, the discharge rate is pretty stable and long-lasting. If I then try to switch back to normal mode from safe mode with a simple restart, the battery percentage again shows drastic change in between the two modes.
3. Sometimes when I keep it in safe mode, the battery percentage shows an increase, even if it's not charging.
* Yesterday I did a factory reset, yet these problems continue. I am confused about this being a battery problem, android bug or something else entirely.
I am a newbie in this forum, so please pardon me if I am missing some things here. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I was about to open a new thread but it looks like we have the same problem, in particular this

Yesterday evening I charged my N5 to 100%, used it 5-10 minutes while in bed and turned it off; this morning I turned it on, used it for other 5 mins (the charge was 86%) and it shut down on its own: when I tried to switch it back on it appeared to be completely discharged.
This happened several times in the last weeks, alongside a way faster discharge of the battery.
Is there a way to check if this is related to some software or it a physical problem of the battery? And, in case, is it possible to change it?
Flash back to stock LP to see if the problem goes away. If the problem continues, it could be time for a new battery.
I've not been playing with roms and stuff for a while and I don't remember that, if I flash stock LP (I'm on stock Marshmallow now, if that matters) will I have everything on my phone wiped?

...anybody?
You could try flashing everything except the userdata.img file. After flashing the other partitions, erase cache before booting the LP ROM for the first time.
I always recommend taking a back up of your data before flashing anything to the phone as there is always the possibility that something goes wrong.
What about calibrating your battery?

I tried to install an app to calibrate the battery but I'd need to root my phone to make it work (as now it's not rooted), and if I remember correctly the root process would wipe my phone (and as right now I don't have much time for that I'd rather try first everything I can without wiping).

Alright, though I'm afraid it might come down to that..
But lemme know anyway if you managed to fix your battery issue without having to calibrate the battery. I had a similar problem but it hasn't gone away yet even after calibrations. Maybe a new battery is in order.

Battery issues (Miscalibrated?)

Hi guys, how you're doing? Hope you're fine.
I'm having some weird issues with my Maxx battery. My phone was showing 80% the last time I charged, when I rebooted it showed something around 74. The most weird part was when I rebooted to recovery right after, and TWRP showed 70%. All I could think by that time was that my battery is either dying or miscalibrated. I did all the battery calibration procedure but the problem persists.
Do you guys know any method to solve my problem?
Also, sorry for my bad English.
I'm not sure I understand the problem. What you're describing is normal behavior...rebooting places a high load on the CPU, which uses a considerable amount of power; you might have noticed that the phone gets pretty hot if booting up takes a long time. It's not uncommon or unreasonable to drop several % doing so.
If you're worried about miscalibration, run the phone until it shuts off, and then recharge it fully. But really, I wouldn't worry too much about it unless your phone starts doing very odd things (such as turning itself off anywhere above 5%).

My Turbo was shutting down at for low battery. Then I plug it in and it would show 20-22% on the power-off charging display. I tried the standard 'recalibration procedure' but it didn't work. I had success with the steps in this post. The app mentioned does a lot more than whatever the re-calibrate feature is, but I only used it for that.

LTE Core Batterylife

Hello guys,
I tried nearly everything to calibrate my battery but for somehow it doesnt work.
I flashed serveral recoverys and roms so i decide to recalibrate it.
I followed the instructions on xda, first without root app.
I charge my phone up to 100% after booting it shows 97%. Ill charge up to 100% again and reboot. I did this serveral times but after rebooting i get always something like 96 - 98%.
So i decided to charge again up to 100% and discharge all the way.
After a while the phone shuts down. Now i plug in the charger. It shows 52% (wtf)
Ill boot the phone. It shows 50% but after a while it shuts down immediately.
So i thought using an app for batter calibration does the job cause normally it does.
But it didnt work. So now in asking if some u guys have any advice how to continue.
If i dont use my phone, just lockscreen the battery lives for ever but as soon as im starting doing something its draining way to fast. Somethings not right.
Thank u very much and sorry for the bad english
