LG G2 kitkat SEVERE battery drain and performace issues

After updating my LG G2 to kitkat the other day, my phone performance and battery life have been absolutely awful. Previously I could go 24  hours on a charge with moderate use, and now I'm lucky if I get 4 hours with it sitting on my desk unused with battery saver on. I also get stuttering while navigating, running apps, etc., and it freezes often. I can hardly even use my phone at this point. Anyone else encounter these problems? Anyone know what's wrong?

I'm having the exact same issues along with many others. I can no longer send or receive texts either, answering a call is a nightmare. My phone used to charge to 100% in about 1.5 hours and last for roughly 20-24 hrs. At the moment it's been charging 1.5 hours and it just hit 17%. Within the first hour of the update my phone went from 93% to 15%. Once it died, I plugged it in and it charged decently fast back to 100% so I unplugged it and sat down and watched it drop a percent per minute until it died on me again. I ran task killers and deleted apps and managed to get 3 hours of life off the 3rd charge of the day and now it's not even wanting to charge fast at all. It drains faster than it charges. I plugged it in to charge yesterday at 4 pm. At 2 am it was finally fully charged and I unplugged it to see if it was gonna behave and it was dead by 7:30 am. I was asleep during that entire time frame so it was NOT being used. Oh and it now overheats so badly that it burns me if I touch my face/ear to it.
I want to try a hard factory reset but I have over 1000 photos to back up and now my computer will no longer recognize the phone, it won't install any drivers, it's all errors. So I tried Wireless Storage which I already had set up and was working great and now it won't even turn on on the phone. It's useless. So I resorted to the Verizon Cloud and I can't access any of my photos now anywhere else other than my phone because to activate my account I have to receive the temp password from Verizon in a text  but it wont send or receive texts at all on either wifi or data. Kitkat as good as bricked my 3 week old phone. My hubby's phone on the other hand, is working just fine post update. ARGH!

  • IOS 7.0.2 update causes overheating and severe battery drain

    IOS 7.0.2 update causes overheating and severe battery drain. Before the update my 4S battery life can reached up to 2days  now the battery won’t last longer than 2 hours or less especially when its overheat.
    Apple should release another update to fix their problem ASAP, also Apple should replace our 4S unit because our battery now is degraded and probably some of the parts are damage because of the extreme overheating caused by Apple update…
    Anyone who can tweak this issue please post..
    Thanks

    We also had an issue with IOS 7 refusing to accept the Apple ID and password (not the passcode) and this update appears to have fixed that as well. This problem surfaced on my wife's and my son's ioPhone, but not on mine.

  • Severe battery drain with iOS 8.1.2

    I am having severe battery drain issues with iOS 8.1.2 with all my iOS devices (iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, iPad Mini Retina, iPad Air). I can have my device in DND mode overnight with 100% battery, then the following morning I will wake up to find my device down to 20%. The battery usage graph shows nothing abnormal, just very rapid battery drain. What gives?! I saw a couple other threads mentioning this issue. I have attempted Network Reset and verifying Bluetooth is off, but this is just crazy. Anyone else get a resolution on this or experience this after iOS 8.1.2?

    tldr; Check the secd process on your Mac. If it is consuming greater than 50MB of memory...turn off Keychain sync on ALL your devices.
    The Full Story
    The last few months I've had instances where my iPhone would start getting really hot in my pocket, and the battery would drain at 3x the speed. After much research I also discovered that a process on my Mac (secd) had a vicious memory leak and that single process was consuming 13GB of memory and paging thousands of console messages. After discovering that the process was related to Keychain sync, I disabled keychain sync across all 5 of my devices. Immediately, the battery life on my iPhone was restored to normal.
    After I reenabled Keychain sync across all my devices, everything would run fine for a while, but after a few weeks, the problem would resurface. And I would repeat the process of turning it off on all my devices, to effectively reset the iCloud keychain data.
    Anyway, Apple does need to fix this, as it affects performance on both OSX and iOS.

  • Severe battery drain after AT&T sim card replacement.

    Up to a point, my wife's original iPhone worked fine. A week ago, it stopped connecting to the AT&T network, and after a call, we found out that someone at a retail store made an error when registering an upgrade to a 3g, and somehow started the process on my wife's account, which killed the sim card. I ran to the local AT&T store and they replaced the sim card for free, and all seemed well.
    However, since then, her phone has been suffering from a severe battery drain. I have made sure that wi-fi, bluetooth, and location services are turned off, but it will not last 10 hours in standby mode after a full charge anymore (she makes no calls during the day - just leaves it in her purse on standby). I have tried a full restore of the software/firmware, and she is running the latest 2.02. Is there anyone who can help?

    Sorry, no, that's not the issue. First, it's a 1st gen iPhone. Second, as I said in the question, I've already turned off every other unnecessary service on the phone. Basically, it's sitting in her purse on standby during the day, just as a phone, and draining from a full charge to nothing in about 9 hours. The problem only started after getting a new AT&T sim card. I'm wondering if anyone else has heard of this problem.

  • Upgrade to Server 3.1 caused severe battery drain on devices

    Upon upgrade to Server 3.1, I have noticed that all registered devices managed by Profile Manager -- iPhones and iPads -- experience severe battery drain.  To the point that a full charge of these device would cause complete battery drain in less than 4 hours, even on standby mode.
    Solution:
    On the managed device,
    Log on to My Devices
    You will find that even though the device is Enrolled, it will have a duplicate device
    Remove all profiles on the device
    Re-Enrol the device
    I hope Apple fixes this.  I have device enrolled that's located overseas and it's difficult to inform the users on how to re-enrol their devices over the phone.

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem after upgrading to Mac OS X Server 3.1.
    All the connected iOS devices are continuously communicating with the Profile Manager of this server.
    I have tried to delete all the devices and profiles and then re-enrolled them, at first this looked like the solution for me too.
    Unfortunately after several hours some of the iOS devices started communicating heavily with this OS X 3.1 Server again, so the battery draining problem was back too.
    For now I have temporary disabled the Profile Manager to stop the iOS devices communicating and draining their batteries.
    @Apple: Please fix this as soon as possible!!!
    Kind regards,
    Rene.

  • Macbook Pro battery drained and now it won't turn on

    I have an early 2012 Macbook Pro. A couple of weeks ago my charger broke and I couldn't get a new one straight away, so the battery drained and it shut off. I don't normally let that happen, but there wasn't a whole lot I could do about it this time. I have a new magsafe charger now and the LED is solid orange as normal, but the macbook still wont turn on even though it's been charging for a good 50 minutes now. It sounded like it was booting up a couple of times and the first time the screen lit up grey and the loading animation (grey bars) showed up, but now it's just black again. I know it's going to take longer than normal to charge after the battery being completely drained for so long, but is it normal for it to take so long or does it sound like it's bolloxed?

    Try a SMC reset:

  • Battery drain and error in event log!!!

    So I recently got a curve 9360, but battery life wasn't the 1 and a half days I expected. Doesn't last more than 5 hrs on normal use, and it falls drastically when doing slightly heavy work like now, bridged to my PlayBook like now, it turns of radio at about 30% then blacks out in under 5 minutes. So i did some digging around and most people said it was the OS, so I downloaded the os that most people say fixed there curve's, got a response for 7.1.0.190 and 7.1.0.258, bug still no difference. Out of curiosity I checked my event long and found this error ,
    Name: System
    Severity: Error
    GUID: 97c9f5f641d25e5f
    Time: "the date and time shown"
    JVM:INFOp=mypin,a='7.1.0.190',o='9.6.0.24',h=e001507
    So when I changed the os to 7.1.0.190, still got the same error and it's always at the top of the event log so am guess its what's causing the battery drain. Changed batteries, and wiped the OS and reinstalled but no solution. 
    Any help people!

    Hi,
    The Certificate Chain you installed on the FE server did not have "Enable all purposes for this certificat" enabled.
    Run MMC--Add\Remove Snap-ins--certificates--Local Computer--Trusted Root Certificate Authorities--Certificates, find the certificate chain you installed--Properties--General, check the "Enable all purposes for this certificate".
    Restart Lync FE server and check the problem is solved.

  • Battery drained and will not charge

    the battery on my droid ultra completely drained last night and I plugged it in to the wall charger this morning and it is not responding. Has anyone let their battery drain all the way ans had issues getting it to charge? It has been plugged in for about 30 minutes and the screen is black and the device will  not turn on.
    thanks!

        ddvh, let's bring life back to that device. I recommend that you allow it to charge for approximately 15 more minutes until the battery charging icon populates on your screen. If the device still does not power on, you will need to press/hold the power and volume up button to reboot your device. Keep us posted. We're here to further assist you if needed.

  • IPod touch 5th generation battery drained and restored after app is closed

    I got my iPod Touch 5th generation about a year ago. I noticed it has since had an issue on the battery life that I thought was common so I did not do anything about it.
    The issue my iPod has is that whenever I use an app that requires immense energy to function, the battery drains real quick. But after I closed the app, the battery life fills up again like it has only used a little.  Video recording especially drains the battery the most where after 10 minutes of recording, it pops up saying 20% battery left from fully charged and at one point it even shuts down itself. But when it was turned on, the battery life is still around 75%. Before it runs on iOS 8, the issue is more apparent although it still exist now with the latest update.
    I did not know until just recently that I found out it is a big issue where I could not have a video recording that can last longer than 10 minutes or so. Is there anything I could do to solve this? Are there anyone else out there that has this sort of issue?

    Hey Leowjowee-
    I'm really sorry if I'm about to state the obvious, but have you tried fully resetting the iPod touch and setting it up like it's brand new?
    It's a crappy answer, but sometimes these are device specific issues, and other times, it can happen just because the kinks haven't been worked out of a new upgrade. I work in consumer IT, and the first thing I would suggest to a client with this issue (especially after an upgrade from one version of the operating system to another), would be to restore (reset the iPod to factory specs) the iPod touch, set it up like the day I bought it, only with the upgraded operating system, and see if there's still an issue. Sometimes, doing an upgrade like you probably did to get from iOS 7 to iOS 8, where it keeps all your previous settings from the last operating system, can cause bugs in the new code.
    Here's instructions for a reset: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
    Keep in mind that this will completely erase any content you have on the iPod touch, so be careful to make sure you have a backup of the device before you do anything. You can back up your device to iCloud or your computer with these instructions:  http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203977
    iOS 8 is brand new, and I'm sure Apple is working out the bugs - but these things happen...

  • Iphone5 battery drained and wont open

    I just bought the iphone 5 last year and it was so good everything runs so fine. Until i upgraded the software to IOS 7 , i started having problems on charging , battery drained too fast and it wont open anymore. The most irritating was when the battery left uncharge or drained, it wont open nor charge anymore. I've tried using different original cable charger but it wont work.  I'm so ****** with this phone.

    Try removing the battery to try and reboot the device. It's possible that something else went wrong with the device. If that doesn't work I would contact your wireless service provider.

  • MacBook Air 2012 Severe Battery Drains While Sleeping

    Hi there,
    This isn't any new but I've looked through all posts I could.
    I got a refurbished MacBook Air 2012 in July. In the first 2 weeks it worked fine (or I was noticed).
    Then I noticed the battery drains fast while the system sleeps.
    I have done tests in the past weeks; almost 20% of battery drain after slept a day.
    I have tried everything I could: turn off PowerNap, no wake from BT devices, erase and reinstall OS
    None of above helped.
    I have tried to modify hibernatemode to 25 and it worked ok; 2% of battery dropped after 12 hours.
    I took this to Apple in Taiwan and they told me they couldn't do anything about it because they think it's software conflicts which does't really have a solution but wait for OS updates. They did run a diagnostic and everything turns out to be fine.
    I just did reinstall the OS again and I'll see whats going on tomorrow morning.
    If still not getting better I will just use hibernatemode 25.
    Anything recommandation is more than welcome.
    Thanks.
    My OS version is 10.8.3.

    Tried hibernatemode to 25 and still not helpful at all.
    Battery drained 8% after 10 hours of sleep while mode 25 should put my macbook air into deep sleep and consume very minimal power.

  • Severe battery drain after last verizon update

    After the last update for my phone I have been experiencing around 10% battery drain an hour with moderate to low usage.  I have already done 2 factory resets and formatting my SD card.  I have disabled GPS, WIFI, Global access, Google now and everything else that i can find that could cause a drain.  I have even gone and disabled/uninstalled all apps that I don't use.  That didn't fix anything.  I started to suspect that my battery was bad.  Ordered a new from Samsung and charged it all night on there spare battery charger before using it.  It actually seems to be draining even faster, after 45 minutes I was already at 88%.  During that period I sent about a dozen texts and checked email and the weather.   So I don't believe its the battery.  Any suggestions to help resolve this will be greatly appreciated.

        likegod04, thank for posting. Are you still having battery issues? If so, then next option will be to replace the device. How long have you had it? Is there any physical or water damaged done to the phone?^SP

  • HELP! Battery drained and now, even with a power plug, computer won't start

    My battery drained completely...and I went to charge it. When I plug the power cord in, it shows "green" not "red." When I remove the battery and just plug in the power cord, the computer won't start either.
    Anyone encounter this before after a full battery drain? It's very odd.

    I had the same green light non-charging problem. Turns out, I had to replace my wall adaptor. A dealer will have a good power supply you can try.

  • Ipod touch 2g not used for months, battery drained and taking way too long to charge

    I had an ipod touch 2g that got wet a couple of months ago. They were inside a jacket pocket when the rain started pouring. After that, the screen only turn white when turned on. I just had the LCD replaced, but since i havent used it in months, the battery has been drained. I plugged it into my PC to charge for a couple of hours already, but its still not enough. The lowbatt icon is there, but iTunes still doesnt recognize it despite being plugged in for a few hours already.
    Does it really take this long to charge an ipod touch that has been completely drained and not used for months? I'm worried there might be other problems besides the LCD when it got wet before. Should I have it checked again for battery charging problems? Or am i just being impatient?

    I tried charging it through the adapter, still got the same problem. So i had it checked again and the battery apparently also needed to be replaced. Haven't had any problems with it since then!
