Really need help with my fast draining phone!

A month ago I posted this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650113
And I still cannot fix the problem. I sent the phone back to repair but it didn't help at all! The repair description said that they did a 'software update'. It took about 3 weeks for my phone to return so I don't really want to do it again. Unless I really have to.
I have tried many stuff to fix this problem:
Bought 2 new batteries
Clean ROM install with NVFlash
Installed different basebands and rils
Formatted the batterystats
Tried different kernels and ROMs (custom and official)
Pulled out SIM/SD Card
Please does anybody know a solution for this problem? I really want my phone back!

Wow your battery drain (Screenshots from your first thread) is really huge. Let's try to solve that mystery together
But there is a chance that your phone really is faulty after all you tried already.
Please insert the original battery and fully charge it.
I don't use stock roms but think you should flash an official kdz first without any custom kernels. V20q or V20s (maybe with flix tweakpack). DONT use titanium backup etc, leave it stock.
You should install battery monitor widget by 3c to get information on your mV consumption.
In your Screenshot your reception wasn't good, please set it to "2g only" for now (or even consider to disable data totally and check how it behaves with wifi only).
Use your phone normally. How is your battery?

Thanks for responding.
I have tried to install the latest firmware with the LG update tool and the drainage was about the same. I did not install anything else on the device then.
Currently I am on the latest CM7 kang by temasek and baseband version v20s with 420 ril (also v20s daemon, I don't even know what this is).
I'll try battery monitor widget.
The reception at where I live is not so good even with 2g only. But I don't think that's the case becuase I tested with airplane mode activated and have also removed the SIM card.
Thanks again.

Just wanted to report that battery monitor widget is showing a power consumption of about -130 mA while on standby.
I think this is a very big number. And I think I had about -10 mA before this problem.

I had the v20s deamon installed too and I also had a pretty huge battery drain.
So my suggestion : remove it (by installing clean rom again).
As Tonyp already mentioned : try to install an original LG rom with it's default BB en RIL (use NVFlash to flash it). Don't use any other kernels or tweaks. Just the default.
Also don't restore anything (for instance with Titanium Backup or other program).
And set your phone to use 2G only, because a bad reception can indeed drain your battery (and fast too !), because it constantly seeks the network. Setting it to 2G only (it's mostly the strongest signal) can avoid battery drains.
And finally try to recalibrate your battery, there are tools available for that in the Google Play store.

Recalibrating the battery is a hoax. At least if you mean to wipe the battery stats (what most tools do). Real recalibrating would be to completely drain the battery (till the 2x turns of - not more! A completely empty li-ion battery would damage it!) and fully charge it again. But that doesn't improve the battery life, it will only improve the battery reading precisness.

Same results with stock based roms too?
CM roms are battery hungry

Yes, I got the same results on stock ROMs. I tried to 'cleanly' install the v10b firmware via NVFlash without installing else on my phone many times. And the problem still persist.

[Q] Mobile network crisis after flash

So, I'm having some issues regarding my recently flashed XSP C5302.
Model: C5302
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband version: 8960A-AAAAATAZQ-40031007-18
Build number: 12.1.A.1.201
I'm on locked BL.
Thing is, I flashed it as soon as I got my hands on it due to that annoying flickering screen, tried to downgrade it to 4.2.1. It was the first time I did that, so I went through many tuts to get it right.
At first I flashed a .254 rom, and when I entered the About screen, model had switched to C5303. What I did was follow DoomLord's guide to root it, instal CWR and flashed a deodexed .254 rom for C5302(this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423625). Everything back to normal.
But then I noticed my mobile data wasn't working, so I thought it may have been fault of the deodexed rom. Sooo, I upgraded it AGAIN to 4.3 using PC Companion, just to find out that the mobile issue was not having the APN correctly configured. Sigh.
And well, I'm now stuck again on 4.3, but at least my mobile data package is working. However, it's extremely slow. I mean, I can see the H and H+ icon, but even on H+ it takes ages to send messages and connect. At first I wondered if the baseband had anything to do with it, but when I flashed the rom I checked everything but Kernel and System, so...
So my question is, is it possible that I did something that "damaged" my mobile data connectivity? If so, could somebody please suggest any solution? I must say, my service provider sucks, so it could be their problem too, and I'm just here crying over spilled milk with no reason at all.
Thanks in advance!

Probably your service provider - I must have tried 100's of custom roms and whilst some have meant that data didn't work, this was caused by buggy software, never damage to the phone.

[HELP] No IMEI and signal

Hello guys,
Short version:
My O4X suddenly lost signal and IMEI, look likes hardware problem. But when I reflash with V20A kdz, it works then after few restarts, It happens again.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Detailed version:
- I was on CM11 nightly (20140923) for some time, it was smooth and no problem but then suddenly lost imei and signal.
- Tried to flash and wipe the latest nightly without luck
- decided to try the V20A kdz and it works again for few restarts (root and stuffs)
- Tried kdz without doing anything, just restart. After 3 restarts, lost IMEI again.
Thank you for your time and thank you in advance.
Also the friends here have similar problem but mine is still flashable... not sure for how long

I have your s problem and dont know what i will do. If you can. Please help me/

i have the same problem with my p880

I had the same problem...
In my case, as far as i can tell is hardware related.
The connection (imei and baseband) returns only if i use brute force, and start to press the phone very hard near the edges, near the the sim. .But they disappear if i turn off or reset the phone...

Is hard to take pictures because this is not a tutorial, i press different parts every time i lost my imei, until it works. What i do is pressing really hard (even bending a little the phone) everything above the battery, especially the sim card holder. Sometimes take 5, 6 , 7 attempts until the signal returns. When the phone turns on wait a little, because takes a few minutes until the signal returns.

I have kind of the same problem, but with slight differences: if I restart the phone, most times than not I get the signal back (at least for a few more hours) and using Zaiben's RC17 ROM it manages to get the signal back by itself after a while, no reboot needed. What I've found to be a "hack/solution" for this problem is to use the app Tasker to change network mode from 3G to 2G when the screen turns off. It appears than while in 2G this problem doesn't present itself...

@sergiohinniger apparently your brute-force method kinda works for me as well.
My phone started losing IMEI and baseband version after I replaced the audio jack and "small" PCB (the one with USB - now I'm back with original one). I then re-chcecked all connectors and coaxial cable, but the issue persists.
I think it works after few reboots with pressure on the back, so I believe that most likely it's caused by some bad cennectors. I have no idea though what to do with that Help, anyone?

It's true, with Zaiben or any stock roms the signal returns far more easily and sometimes resists the reboot. But now i have a new problem, the mac address, even when the signal returns, stay 00:00:00:00:00:00. I can only fix with a mac spoof app. This problem doesn't happen when i use custom roms, but the 3g signal is harder the return.

Some news, bad news
I have asked some repairers and here is their answer:
It's baseband file problem, if you have original Nandroid backup then it might help otherwise you can say bye bye to it

basically, the baseband/IMEI file is damaged due to flashing rom, if you dont have origianl file, there is noway to save it
Sorry for bring back a dead post, I think it's a good infomation for people

Need Help "LOST IMEI and Baseband Unkonwn"
I was using Euporia 5.0.1 on LG 4x
I received update notification and I downloaded Update.zip ( which included to 5.1)
By mistake i flashed the zip directly from CWM ( without Formatting any partition )
after restarting there was no IMEI
Following things I have tried
1) Trying to flash Original V20C KDZ. via LG Flash Tool. ( I think it checks for IMEI , and that's why stuck in between)
2) Use LG Software Update tool. ( also can't progress with IMEI)
3) Flashed Original V20c Flashable zip from CWM (But it didn't restored my IMEI)
4) Contacted LG Service Center, and They say You need to change whole Motherboard. ( I was Shocked to know that )
:crying:
If anybody went to same problem. and resolved .
Please Guide me.

A repairer told me that some rom might contain RIL or baseband bugs that accidentally **** up our IMEI partition/files, so if you have NANDroid backup then try to restore it

Can I use Flashtool to flash 4.4.2 in a D955 Flex?

Hello.
I got a brand new D955 (European) Flex with 4.2.2.
I rooted it, but now I cannot install a recovery.
Freedom Flex 2.0 (current versiona) only works for 4.4.2
I searched for a previous version and found one from May 2014:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=6046
I installed this version but when I hit TWRP (or CWM) something pops very fast (I cannot read it) and then dissappears.
If I try to boot into recovery, a blank screen appears although if I boot normally, telephone works fine (phewwwwww)
Any advices on what to do to upgrade from 4.2.2. to 4.4.2?
Could I use lg flashtool?

It's happened to me also and I have AT&T d 950 I used freedom flex 2. 0 and it did worked however you must make sure that you are on strong wifi connection otherwise it will not work try turning the radio off put it in airplane mode and then turn the wifi on. Only wifi and lock into strong wifi source with good speed connection. I had to try couple of times but it did worked. I hope that Will work for you.

You used freedom flex 2.0 on a 4.2.2 Rom?

Yep but I tried couple times and it did worked I also had the same symptom of message disappearing while I was using freedom flex. Just keep trying with airplane on but wifi must be turn on and locked in the strong fast Internet. At least that worked for me.

You were right.
Even though I was discouraged by the message advicing me that I was running 4.2.2 instead of 4.4.2 and kept advancing and at the end it installed correctly TWRP (I like it more than CWM).
Rebooted into recovery, wife clean (I mean wipe clean) and flash 4.4.2
Everything perfect. Thank you very much.
OP you should update the warning message. It was a fuss for me...

I'm glad that it works for you

Random Reboots [Stock 6.0]

Hello,
My brain is collapsing about this reboots, I have stock android 6.0 on my XT092 device.
Wipe cache + reset doesn't resolve anything. Wipe backup data and unmark auto-restore apps on google auto-backup. After wipe cache/reset I put on this device "configure as a new phone" , then I unmark auto-restore on settings then I install my apps (whatsapp dropbox, cant install more without problem solved..), what I can do more or what im doing wrong?
Thank you all :good:

Hello guys
I have stock android 6.0 [24.11.18.victara_reteu.reteuall.en.Eu retfr] on my Motorola Moto X 2014 [XT1092] after OTA update to android 6.0 I have always random reboot's on it. I search for all internet about a possible fix and I think I tried almost everything but I have hope can solve this problem.. Put on Moto X 2014 forum too but is a old device without much visibility!
I have try to hard resed and wipe caches (don't know how many times I did it, probably 100 with various configurations). Last time I do it I just reset/wipe and initiate the phone without sim-card and internet (always skip) after that I put the sim-card without 4G and WiFi and didn't install or update any type off app (Google's backup is disable and I clean everything I could about old's data) and the phone always reboots (think we never could stay 24h on without a single reboot, this is so frustrating).
Hardware phone problem? System operating problem (is stock and didn't see nobody like me)?
Any one have suggestions what I could do more or someone have this problem with your stock device?
Thank you for the time dispend reading this :good:

I had about the same problem (happened maybe 5 times) on my xt1096 while I had 5.1 verizon stock.
Since I installed the stock xt1095 6.0 marshmallow (about a month), I didn't have that problem again.
Maybe you should try that too? Just a suggestion.

When I bought this phone (2 months ago) he have 4.4.4, I think he update to 5.0 or 5.0.1 and after that updated to 5.1 (he stays about 2 weeks in 5.1) after that he receive 6.0 (problem apears)..
I think I couldn't downgrade the 6.0 to 5.1 (without touch on root's etc etc) right? Could I reinstall 6.0 in boot menu with all stock and no-rooted?

You have to have root and unlock bootloader to change roms as far as I know.

I too am experiencing this issue since day one with a XT1092. It happend across several ROMs, including stock. Like previously stated, it happens only when the phone is not connected to a charger and in standby, seemingly randomly.
I suspect the radio to be the issue, since it is the same regardless what ROM one uses. Maybe certain frequencies (I am constantly connected to LTE; mostly Band 20, 800 MHz) or something similar could be the cause. That would explain why it is such a rare issue and so hard to reproduce. Or maybe it is simply a hardware malfunction, I guess I'll never know.
Edit: Got a soft reboot without a SIM card in the phone. Usually it's a hard reboot, but this time it was "only" a quick soft reboot.
