I can't imagine she still works after this! She was under there first for three seconds, but when i tried to rescue her i accidently dropped her one more time. So she was under there for even three more seconds.
After she had dried up under a 50 degrees Celsius fan for a couple of hours she actually worked flawlessly.
I pulled here apart and it seems she is completely dry on the inside.
Hope she stays in this working condition for the future also.
Anybody else experienced this with their beloved ones? What have you done to bring her back to life?

experiment
A few months ago I deliberately submerged my i9305 in water whilst playing music
screen flashed and music playing, so took battery apart
surprisingly after drying for 30 min. it was working flawlessly no problems at all:victory:
so I tried 1 more experiment, this time charger plugged in music playing.
screen flashed led went crazy. Again took battery out, but this time put it in the preheated oven.
again it worked perfectly, checked inside all parts were intact no damage
I did make a video I'll see if I can find it to upload
I wont suggest trying this but rest a sure that if it drops in water it'll still be OK:good:

I'm sure you had lots of fun, but why on earth would you do such a thing to your phone?
Mine got a little unstable the last day. Some strange screen
behaviour. So i got some money from the insurance company, and i bought a note 3. I think that may be a good path to go from now.

I was using a wifi tether on my phone running PCForce's CM7 and my phone restarted (it was connected to my PC via USB) and when it came back on it said "Charging 0%" and whenever I unplug it it switches off, never seen this before but it seems, to me, like the battery has been fried anyone think the same.
I also have a spare battery that works fine, which also tells me that it is some problem with the battery, and running a wifi tether can heat things up a bit which brought me to that conclusion.
Anyone wanna throw any ideas on if its possible to fix it, I am now using the battery that came with the phone but it has a crack near the contacts which doesn't fill me with confidence.

try with 600 mHz it solved the problem for me
With mobile data and Wifi tethering enabled, my phone can get up to 52 degrees celsius in some cases without charging. I usually turn the phone off and take out the battery for a few minutes for it to cool down. I guess a temperature that high is caused by overclocking. I'm not sure if its damaging or not but I do prevent progression of operations in that temperature.
I also have a crack on the battery. Had it for a few months now and no problems so far
How 'cracked' is it?

I don't think the crack will be that much of a problem. If you want, you could take it to someone experienced just to be sure.

Also setting to 600MHz didn't help, guess i'm stuck with my stock one for now.
wow, good job. Yep, mine charges up to 100% before the crack. After that battery hardly charges up to 97-98%.
I have crack to, but battery go to 100. Btw, i glue mine with tape.

My battery cracked as well, but it has been dropped a few times...
It is a real shame because my previous LG phone was the LG Viewty and that was an amazingly well built phone. Cost ~£100 and came with an amazing camera and 3G front facing camera too. Shame it didn't have android. So I don't know why LG decided to go really cheap on the build qualities - you'd think having cracked batteries would have come up in their design tests but they probably didn't care...
I got the same trouble...

my battery drop very fast :crying:
My batery works about 1 day with deep sleep and oc 744mhz ;d
About a month ago while hiking I had my Mexus 6 in a zip lock hoping to keep it safe from water (I now realize how stupid that was). With ziplock in my backpack I waded through chest deep water. Later on I opened my bag and to my dismay there was water inside the zip lock. The phone was operational.
I took it home and tested it. Worked fine for the most part. However when I shut it down it would not bit back up for a day or so. And after charging it for 24+ hours it would randomly boot. Basically I couldn't let it run out of battery or it would be unresponsive for a day or two.
Somehow over time this issue was not valid anymore. My phone could now reboot normally.
A couple of days ago I noticed the phone going into shutdown claiming 0% battery even when battery was 40%. It kept galloping numerous times. Open the camera, phone shuts down showing it's out of battery. The battery saver also makes to kick in as it makes its come and the top and bottom bars turn red/orange.
This has happened more than 20 times now. I did not get the battery shutdown when phone has 80%+ battery. But it started as I dropped below that. At 48% it got so bad that after a shutdown, if I restarted phone, it would, then immediately shut down. When battery was 60%+ it would at least start back up and let me use it for a bit.
Now I know I messed up with the zip lock thing but it's there any thing I can do now? Should I try to change the battery? I have changed battery on iPhones before by myself.
Can I somehow calibrate the battery using software?
Attached are screenshots of my battery stats.
I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance!

Sorry to hear this is happening, mine started doing the same thing after three months of use. I tried everything, including a trick someone posted of letting it die and charging it only using the quick charger. I use a QI charger and it was completely unacceptable to think that feature couldn't be used. So I contacted Motorola and they just did a warranty on mine and sent me a new one. I had it the next day.

I got my S6 Active 2 days ago, it came with around 60% battery, which of course I burned to the ground messing with the phone. I left it charging overnight (first full charge) so yesterday morning it was at 100%. I used the phone for quite a bit during the day, didn't charge it at night so this morning it was at 40% when I woke up. So, summarizing, in around 24 hours the battery went down 60% with moderate use (around 4h 30m SOT).
The weird thing happened today. For some reason, the battery has been going down much faster. In around 5h, with pretty light use, it's gone down 27%, with around 40m SOT. I haven't installed anything new, changed any significant setting, anything...
Don't get me wrong, 5h SOT is pretty good, but I'm just curious if this is something that has happened to someone else, maybe a problem with my battery, or maybe I just need to give it more charging cycles? I've attached a couple screenshots of battery usage from before starting to charge it again, and another one while charging it for a bit because I forgot to include the usage of other apps. I can see how Google Play Services is second after Screen, very close, while yesterday I believe it wasn't as close... maybe that's the problem? I'm not sure why it would do that though, like I said I haven't changed or installed anything this morning...
Thanks in advance for any input!
Use it for a few days before you freak out about how long the battery lasts. AoN

Yeah I'm aware of the need to wait a few charging cycles, it's just that I've never seen a battery behave like that. I'm not really bothered by how long it lasted, it's more about how there was such a sudden drop in its charge for no apparent reason. Thanks for the reply though
I know Samsung claims the usb port is waterproof but I am telling you right now DONT get water in that port, itll **** it up..
I was naive and thought this was the best ever....until I got water in that hole... i made a thread about it.. its beyond ****ed up we should sue for false advertisement.
Perhaps you got a defective unit? I've had mine in the pool, taken underwater pics, etc. and have no issues. Although I did let it dry out for a couple of hours before plugging it in again.
i updated my post, that may be the issue..letting it dry longer...
but im a distance runner and in the heavy rain i never had a problem, i even dunked it in the sink and it worked.. ive had this phone a month and it was great up until yesterday...however..it seems to be fine now.

I have had mine in the ocean as well as the pool almost a dozen times and haven't had any issue as of yet. I use the Qi charger so I don't think drying is an issue at all.
If you plan on it regularly getting wet, it may be worth investing in a Qi charger.
I never use the USB cable. I always use a Qi charger never had trouble after being in rivers and rain. Using USB only scratches up the phones USB port anyway lol.
i have a QI charger but never use it
Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the LG V20 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
What heat? The battery gets a little warm while charging. Once charged it reverts to room temperature.
i did a test. now the file got corrupted (because i used both, horizontal and vertical mode) so,, if i get to fix it i will upload it IT last about 3 hours playing 1440P videos, but the battery warmed upto about 41-42C. If the corrupted file doesnt fix, then im going to do a 1080p video and see how long it last.
Warm, similar to S7 Edge
I know Samsung is getting heat right now, but the LG did get warm when doing the initial download and setup. Not hot, just warm. During charging using AIDA64 I saw temperatures around 50c at times, and the battery temperature was up to 36c. This is similar to the temps on my S7 edge. I was not doing a fast charge, just using a regular wall charger with the included cable.
This phone is perfectly fine, and does NOT heat up any more than the average smartphone does. No need to worry about anything here...
I haven't noticed any heating at all, Even when setting up.

Mine got a little hot when gaming for a while but that's any cell phone.
Mine didn't hear heat up using lg backup surprisingly. Mine barely has any noticeable le temperature increase during charging. Haven't tested a heavy duty game yet. Done some heavy file transfers over wifi and screen mirroring. No heat.
Just got my v20 a week ago and this thing runs cold all the time. Im coming from a HTC 10 and it's quite nice. My HTC 10 would get hot enough while charging it or playing a intensive game it needed to be stuck in a case or it would almost burn me.
My V20 was running hot, over 102°f
I had 32% battery life when I pulled the battery and waited 2 mins before I turned phone back on. When I turned phone back on, I was at 18% battery life and it's still declining as I'm writing this. WTF???

Same here, had it since it first came out and never had any heat issues with it. I swear these manufactures release updates and cause our phones to start acting up wherever they release a new device. It started happening after the G6 was announced and I received an OTA update for bug fixes! Bug fixes my ass, they just want us to buy a new phone!

Actually I had this problem a week ago. I had an LG V10 before that did the same thing then a few days later fried. I had to return it for warranty repair then sold it. Fast forward to an LG V20, love it had it for a few months then suddenly it was draining battery fast and getting hotter then normal. I downloaded a few battery apps to help me trace the culprit but to no avail. Finally one day I just powered it off for about 2 hours and it has been back to normal since then.
Very strange and got me a bit worried about another chipset frying or another bootloop... lets hope not.:good:

I've had a v20 H990N for a little over a week, coming from a G3 (3 years without any issues until it died, i prefer to keep phones as long as they work). I have played asphalt extreme for at least an hour straight a few times on wi-fi, with the screen between 60-70% brightness and have not experienced anything except minor warming.

Need to follow your update cycle, getting phones and keeping it until they stop working. I have so many phones that I've collected, I used to switch out just for sake of changing phone shape etc.
I'm on v20 and intend to use it until it dies.
I does heat much more than expexted
Hi I encountered recently 2 weird issues with my OP. It is around -10 C degree outside and I was out for a walk, took the phone, it was charged to 65% and wanted to take a photo but after pressing shutter the phone shut down and I couldn't turn it on, first it was trying to boot but shut down again and then only information about very low battery and to charge it first.
This situation happend already 2 times.
Is it normal? I cannot operate the phone in -10C? My HTC and Nexus were all fine even in lower temps, i was just getting inforamtion that I cannot use flash for camera as the temperature was too low but otherwise it was working fine.
Where are you keeping the phone when not using it? Try a pocket close to your body, to keep it warm. Li ion batteries (and most battery types) discharge much more quickly when very cold.
I had my phone on me while skiing. Probably close to the temps you are talking about. I kept my 3t in a chest pocket, under my jacket, and took it out occasionally to take photos. It worked fine, and the battery kept charge all day, no problem.
I keep it in my jeans pocket and sometimes at down jacket pocket so should be fine. Either way I never had a problem with low temperatures. It shut down also when I was skiing the other time. I understnad when it discharges, the status should just show lower battery, not just shut down from 65% and why it was after I press the shutter? I am on stock so there is no firmware crash probably due to modding.
