Phone heats up without even using it - LG G Flex 2

In the past 2 days, my phone has been burning up in my pocket. Nothing is on. Recent apps are cleared and it runs at 42 C by itself. And its running my battery down before I even get halfway through the day. Any help?

I think the battery is messed up too. I turned battery saver on at 11%. Then next time I look at it it's 4%. Then for the next hour it stayed at 4%. I then plugged it in and it went down to 3%....

It is not normal maybe you installed an app that cause you this wakelock. Try to identify what app cause you this problem. Also you have 5.1.1 (latest firmware)?

No. It's at&t. So 5.1 probably won't happen.
I started deleting all apps that I wasn't sure about. It's still hot and destroying my battery. I needed a quick solution, so I factory reset. It seems to be fine now.

Battery prob is now worse!

I'm rooted first of all.
Well, wifi, all GPS, and bluetooth off.
my battery was okay, it lasted for a day mostly. and I think about 2 days ago, the battery suddenly getting worse. Everything remains same. I haven't changed any option, but the bettry is suddenly worse.
I don't use my phone that much. like I got a phone call yesterday and today? no texting, no internet, no app uses.
I charged my battery full(til 11am or til noon), then it dies before 5pm.
(Today I charged my phone til 9:40am, got only one single phone call lasted 1-2mins, and my battery is already 47%.)
It's just terrible! Anyone has same prob????
I'm in California BTW.
are you rooted?
what rom/kernel?

I'm rooted and I think it's stock rom.
I just followed the manual perm root process.
It's weird because under same conditions, battery got totally worse than before. It lasted at least for a day, but now, it lasts only 4-5 hrs with same amount of usage under same conditions.
ever figure this out?
Just rooting will not change anything to your battery life. You need to install a rom or a different kernel in order for it to change anything.
Mine too has gotten worse in the last week. I am not rooted. At this point my battery is draining roughly 25% per hour with little or no use. Spare parts shows the most usage on my phone is 0. I have tried getting rid of weather bug, Pandora and sirius. I tried looking for something to explain exactly why 0 takes up 10x more battery than Android system itself and I have came to the conclusion that I am lost. Any direction to the correct forum topic would be appreciated.

Have you tried the "Blockbuster" mod?
1) open the Blockbuster Application, it should ask you to update.
2) once the update has finished open the application back up and
3) navigate to Menu>Settings> "Disable Movie Updates"
Users have reported better battery life.
Thanks for the reply. Yes I have updated and disabled the Blockbuster app. Better yet even I just rebooted my phone and it drained 12% on the battery. How is that possible. I am using my stock battery now and not the extended, so the % would be different with the stock compared to my extended but really I don't think it should use 12% on a reboot.

I guess you and I are on the same page! I charged mine til 9:40 am and went to work yesterday. I got only one phone call that lasted 1-2mins. The battery was already 52%. All GPS was off, bluetooth off, Wifi off, everything off except 4G. I sent a text and received a text, and the battery drained to 46%. After a few mins with no use of the phone, the battery warning sound played. So I had to charge my phone at that point. It is just totally weird. Under same condition and same usage of the phone, the battery lasted for a day at least. (4G was on at the point.) I don't know what cause this problem. Anyways, I just unrooted mine and got a software update via OTA. I don't know if this will fix the problem. Any luck to you yet?
I am going to charge tonight and try current settings tomorrow and see how long battery last. It is to the point if I have to turn all this stuff off, doesn't it defeat the purpose of having a smartphone?

Try ZD Box
Try ZD Box, and use its task killer to stop any programs your not using right then. Pandora is another app that loves to stay on and chew at your battery...
My phone just started doing this as well. I've been using the TBolt for a couple of weeks now.
Just yesterday my battery life took a serious nose dive. I've adjusted all the settings I can and the battery is dropping like a drunk girl's panties...
I'm having to charge it all the time now just to keep it from giving me the low battery warning.
Ok well here it goes . Off charger for 30 mins 7 text ,this post and a restart and down 10% already. Wtf

That's about what mine took on average to reboot. 10-12%.
I'm at 72% after 11 hours of idle usage and that's on the 2750mah extended battery. That would put me at 46% after 12 hours having not touched the phone once. I literally fell asleep as I took it off the charger...
Something is jacked up and I don't know what.
Rooted, Virus ROM B3, 1.8G kernel (forget which).
I've gone to Imoseyon's Sense lean kernel, special edition.
We'll see how that goes...?
Wanted to report back as I think the culprit may be the wireless tether app.
I turned GPS, WiFi and all my sync's back on and the phone is back to giving me decent battery life.
I did some changes with the tether app and I'll report back to see if my suspicions are correct.

Battery drain

My desire s battery drops from 100% to ~15% after about an hour of surfing with edge mobile network.(with different roms) And my friend tell me that this is unusual. I have tried calibrate the battery with the battery calibrate app and it didn't help . It's there anyway to solve this such as flashing baseband?
Thanks for helping.

first open battery usage and investigate which app eat a lot of power.
sometimes just restart the phone will clear out the issue.
The app which eat many power is the browser but I have tried other browsers too but same problem happened.
I have restarted and flashed tons of times and ROMs but same happened.

- which rom are you using? official or custom ?
- try to restart phone, donot open any browser and see if the battery still drain?
I tried cm stable, miui stable , HTC sense ROMs. It only drain when I surf with my edge mobile network. If I use WiFi its normally draining , about two to three hours.

if problem with different radio, may be bad coverage in your location?
Try to move to another place with good coverage and give it a try

serious battery problem
OK, I have a serious problem. I updated official RUU, and my phone is running smooth. Battery lasts 1-2 days, everything is working fine. But last night battery was on 17% and I put it to charge at 12pm, woke up at 6am and it was on 33%. I'm charging it right now and it's up to 41% then drops to 39% and so on. Tried another charger - same thing. It won't charge! No new apps, no new settings, battery stats shows the same power use,.... Battery health is good, Auto sync is off,.... I have Go Power Master, Juice Defender, shows no problems. 3G is off, it's on GSM only, Wi-Fi is off, GPS is off and so on, my phone is fully optimised and this happened last night. I charged it while off and now it's on 37%! So I guess it's not a software issue. Anybody has an answer or a clue what could be the problem, please? Is my battery dead (year of use)? Thanks in advance.
try to restart your phone?
Tried that. I'm currently charging it power off, turned it on and it's still draining. While it's off!
i guess it's battery problem. Borrow another battery from your friend and try again.
Well, it was a strange thing... I've noticed that GO Power Master is killing like 25 apps and prolonging time for some 2 and a half hours when you hit optimise button every 2 minutes. So some apps are running in the back and draining the battery. So I uninstalled some of them (clock widget, Noom, Zoner antivirus,...) and restarted phone and by the end of the day it was all stabilised like before. I don't know what happened. I'm still testing it but I've managed to charge it to 100% and there was no drain over night. We'll see.

Noom
I have a S2 and every day, at 20:00 the phone starts a process and gets very hot and also drains the battery.
I discover that if I freeze the Noom app, it doesn't happen.
So, I blame noom for your draining issues and mine.
Does anybody else having this problem?
Regards
I didn't had a problem since uninstall, but it happened again later, I think it was from Firefox. While it was on charger, I got popup note saying something like "phone is using more than current can deliver, try to kill some apps or turn phone off while charging." First time I see that note. Probably because it was on Sense, not on launcher. I've noticed that Firefox is using a lot of memory, uninstalled it and it was all normal like before.

I had this problem, but svery time it was solved with rebooting. It showed normal percentage. I think, you just need to reboot device sometimes, may be once in two days. I suppose to think the couse of ghis problem is a kernel) it can be engaged with not an exact process, so battery drains. Try to change kernel, or rom, or battery)

[Q] phone shuts down after battery goes from 40-50% to 0%

Today I had my AT&T One X at around 40% charge when I went to sleep. After getting up the phone had shut itself down and when I try to turn it on using the power switch nothing happens. I charged it then it starts charging from 0%. I am on stock 4.04 rom and have rooted the phone. This is the third time in a month that this has happened. I am attaching the battery curve that I got after today's incident. Please Help! Thank you very much for any help in advance.

I have installed betterbatterystats and will update with results next time it happens..
I too am having this problem. Though it started happening after my phone drained and wouldn't restart after charging (boot loop). After I fixed that, it's been dropping dead.
I'm on a stock rom with ElementalX 3.0 kernel. Was v2.0 when it initially started.
Any luck finding information? I still get about the same use out of it (sometimes). I'm thinking that maybe the battery's level is getting reported incorrectly?
This is a known bug, whatever the hell is causing it. Just about everyone has had this happen at least once.

How often are you having this problem. I have had this happen about 3 times in the last three weeks or so. Since my post last week, I haven't had it happen to me yet. I now have the betterbatterystats app installed and will update with results the next time I have battery drain.

It happens quite often. Happened today, then three days before that. I really don't have much on this phone either. After the initial bootloop I did a factory reset and didn't really add much.
This happened to me once on stock rom and kernel. I think it has something to do with the network trying repeatedly to connect and draining the battery. But the phone is asleep and not updating the battery percentage. When the phone finally awakes, it instantly updates the batteryfrom whatever it was before to 0. It seems to happen to people in the early morning.
There is a pretty sizable thread on this already.

I have contacted AT&T and HTC. Neither knows whats up. Went to CM 10 though and haven't seen the issue. Although, the last 2 weeks with CR Dev I didn't see the issue either. It used to happen every night.

Thought I remembered seeing a thread but couldn't find it via search.
I wonder if it's a sense based issue if you haven't seen it with CM 10. Though I didn't have any issues while using the stock kernel. -edit just read flar2's post about using stock and seeing the issue
Most likely something is draining while the phone is asleep and the battery doesn't update. You can see in my history details that when the phone wakes it jumps. Especially the ending death jump lol
I know if I have fast boot enabled and then it off, it'll drain around 10%. It only loses around 3 or 4 if the phone is shut down. I've never left it on overnight, but then again I am an avid task-killer

Oneplus One dies at 20% battery charge rate

Few days back, my phone died even if it showed that battery has about 20%. Since then, my phone dies always near 20% charge state. Before it does, screen is flickering a little bit.
But so far I've observed, my phone runs about 1 hour and it still shows 100%. After that, it starts to drop. I've tried some calibration, but it never worked.
Do you know, how I can repair this or it's a subject for official repair? I would've tried to buy new batteries, but since it's OPO where batteries cannot be changed, or can be, but it brakes warranty so...
Thank you guys, appreciated.
How old is your OPO? What ROM did you use? Any custom kernel / details etc?
My OPO works fine on CM11 nightlies, stock kernel but rooted.
It's max 5 months old and I've never experienced such an issue. Down you have screenshot. I'm running stock ROM and everything. Hope it will help

Same issue started happening with me too. Phone touched 25-27% mark and goes off suddenly. It was fine from last 3 weeks and from last 2 days, it is giving me this issue. I will try doing factory reset. Hope it works.
PS: I am on stock 38R without root.
has factory reset worked?
Reset doesn't work. It's software problem. A lot people having same issue.
Mine even worst. switched off about 35%. and lasted about 12 hours stuck on 100%.
I've done flash to stock 33R, 38R. clear everything. same. doesn't help.
Open up the phone dialer: type *#*#4636#*#*
This should bring you up to a "secret" settings page. Click on battery information. There you can check battery health!
Replied to a similar thread. I experienced the same issue where it stays at 100% for hours and died around 17%. Happened twice. What I did was turned off the phone and charged it full. Turned it on, waited a couple of minutes or so before unplugging. Had to make sure all apps in the background are up. So far it it fixed the problem for me.
Hope that helps.

After using it. it seems okay right now. 100% no longer holds up few hours. drop 2% about 1.5 hours usage.
Looks neat. still waiting for the battery depleting .

Not really. Only did it when it died at17%. There may be some app updates that causes it. In my case I think the culprit is Gsam. Cause when it updated, it messed up the calibration. But then again, it could've been other apps that updated at that time too ☺

I faced this previously. Phone died around 40%. Install battery calibration app from play store. Calibrated my batt and all ok till date. Rooted and on fk kernel back then.
here's the fix. no need to install additional app. no root needed.
NOTE: do this at night, just before you decide to go to bed.
1. let the device turns off itself. no matter at which battery level.
2. while the device is powered off, charge it for at least 6 hours. do not interrupt the charging. do not turn on the phone. and do use the original charger and cable.
3. once the phone is charged for at least 6 hours. turn it on and use it as per your usual way.
4. repeat step 1 to 3 for another 2 times. then the phone's battery calibration will be fixed.
I see you are on 38R .. Have you updated to 44?

Xperia L Extreme battery drain

I have a serious issue with my Xperia L running 4.2.2 stock, rooted rom. The battery drains extremely quickly without me using the phone. Today I took the phone off the charger at 7 am, and at about 12 pm with only 20m screen on time the phone had already shut itself down. During this time only my mobile data was turned on for about 40 minutes. Also the phone gets very hot in my pocket doing nothing (40 degrees C). I really have no clue what do, now my phone is practically unusable. :crying:

Oddly enough now the phone works normally. I think it is something to do with the stock rom, because i have 2 batteries and with both the situation is the same.

Sent from my Xperia T using XDA Free mobile app
Okay, so I did a clean install of the stock rom yesterday and the problem persists. It drains a little slower now, but still - I don't think that from 74% to 10% in 3 hours is acceptable. I noticed something really weird - the drain happens only when i'm not at home. Even if my mobile data is turned off, once I go outside the phone starts to get REALLY hot (~41 degrees) and battery starts to drain extremely quickly even without using it.
I really have no clue what is going on. Can it be a hardware problem or something?
