At 5% or lower, the screen is forced to go dim and I loose the ability to set brightness. Both in settings and by pulling down notif. bar. Is there any way to turn off this force-to-go-dim?

Forced dim for battery level below 5% is normal. If it automatically dims when it is over 5% battery then that's a bug. I never experienced the dim bug.
You really shouldn't let your battery get that low anyway, lithium batteries don't like being discharged that much.

Sometimes I can't help it but I'm using third party battery so I'm not too bothered. I got them for less than £5 for 3500 mah, been using them since I got my Mega (over 5 weeks now) and never had problems.
The advice I gave is valid but with batteries so cheap these days I'm not sure it matters any more.
Do you find your 3500mAh batteries actually last longer or about the same?

Can't tell as I've never used the battery that came in the box. I'm keeping all accessories pristine for selling it on. Anyway, I get over 24 hours for light use and 10 hours with heavy use on the third party battery.
Cheers, that sounds much the same as I'm getting.

I can see the caution of using lithum battery. But at the times when I am out of immediate reach of a charger and a replacement battery, and I need an extra minute to finish an email or text, it becomes counter productive.

Not bad for a battery you can now get for £3.45 with free delivery on eBay.

When I used NT unrooted, it's still battery level while unused 3-4 days, but when I root it with Indirect method and install some apps, the battery remain 60% after 2 days unused :|, I've tried some "kill process" app but it's seem didn't work . Any suggestion? Sorry because I'm newbie
Im afraid one or some apps waste your most of power
you should check it one by one yourself
once time, I got a theme of go launcher from market
but I found power droped 20%-30% per hour(just unused)
when I uninstalled it , it came back to normal
I've got a question about strange battery behavior.

There is no mistake, charge level raises when my NT's screen is switched off, is it a normal behavior for NT, or just an app glitch?
Can it be somehow connected with that after I plugged my NT into PC via generic microUSB cable charge level jumped from ~80% to 100% in a minute?

Most batteries will recover a portion of their apparent charge if given the opportunity to relax. {Electrons are able to move from deeper within the battery media and gather near the surface.} (There may be an algorithm issue as well, not sure.)

Thanks for the answer, but it still seems strange, I am used to self-discharging batteries, not to the opposite. Also I didn't see something like this happening with Nook Color or mobile phones.

I did have the same with Nook Color, but I still have no idea why it happens and what the consequences are.
I would try to see which app is keeping the tablet "awake" when the screen is off.
(I know you don't have CM7 installed, but if you ever do...there is a utility in CM7 spare parts in battery history that lists apps by Partial awake usage that I check to see whats keeping it awake.)

Just wanted to share a funny screenshot I have taken a while ago while using a JB/ICS rom (Can't really remember which), the screenshot is of the battery status in settings showing some seriously odd info (BTW, I haven't charged the mobile at all during this):

Pretty weird, eh? :cyclops:
Did you switch battery?

Dafuq? That's the weirdest I have ever seen!!!
Had similar experiences..
Not at this scale though!
uhnmmm... better you check your battery (it is flat?), it don't looks right.

Nah, didn't switch battery nor charged it, I simply unlocked my phone to find it at 0% and shutting down, when it turned off I tried holding the power button again (because I was sure it was charged) and then it turned on with 1% and then kept increasing till it reached the flat level and then proceeded to decrease again!

The battery works perfectly normal now, and during that day it continued to work normally after it reached the flat level (it decreased as usual after this). I know, it's crazy!
mine did that too. till 13% to 94%. I removed the battery and put it back in.
I guess sometimes the battery sensor goes cuckoo haha.
Even my battery on ICS increases sometimes

we use a lithium ion battery and so when sometimes u just keep your mobile stable for 15 mins the ions generate itself and the battery increases
I have seen my battery from 76 to 85 (in 1.5 hrs )

Soi saw the hyperion 5200mah with back cover on amazon for $19.99. Anyone have this battery and if so is it actually a huge step up in terms of battery life? Its double the stock battery but we all know what that can mean though so is it an actual good increase or no?

I have an Anker 5200 that I got off of Amazon, came with back cover as well. Cost me the same $20. And mine made a huge difference... Definitely twice the battery life for sure and the 5200's are nice because there not too too big.
I'd imagine the Hyperion would bring the same results.

So you like it? Gets you through a day and some orno? Right now if I manage to forget to charge it over night from the following day its dead by 10am and it sucks not having a phone at work in the prisons.

Oh Yea! It gets me through the day... right now I have 60% Battery left with 8 total hours on the battery and 4 hours screen on time.
And usually it's better than that... Just today I spent some time in recovery and flashed a few things so these stats are not even the best.
With my use I can get like 10-12 hours screen on time. This on an AOSP ROM running a custom kernel + Greenify.
It's definitely the perfect battery for me. Only like 2 times since I've had this battery ( about 7 months ) have I had to charge the phone during the day. And that was only cuz i used Navi + Listened to music + Some other apps all day non stop.

Wonder how much different the Hyperion would be to the anker. I remember seeing the banker on sell but didn't recognize the name so didn't jump on it.
Here are my stats right now. Cm11 and stock kernel.

You know I don't know how much different the two batteries would be. Both are very good companies and from what I've read both had very good reviews. So you probably can't go wrong either way.
I have Hyperion battery in my girls S4 and that one seems to hold up pretty well. It's not a big one however so I can't compare...

My G3 is at 45% and it says it's gonna take over 7hrs for it to fully charge.
Before anyone ask, yes..i am using the OEM charger and cable that cane with the phone.
I'm on my second G3 and really don't feel like exchanging this one for another one...

Are you using your phone while it's charging? Is it at a high brightness?
When my G3 is charging and I'm using it (redditing, XDA, Clash of Clans, etc.), my charge time is pretty insane as well.

THIS plus if your outlet is weak or not getting enough power it will take forever. I had a surge protector and mine was plugged into the last slot and was taking forever to charge until I checked it with a meter and found the last slot was weak and under powered. Tossed the whole thing out and have had no issues at all.

Yeah i was using it checking email and forums, but still didnt think it would take this long to charge. And in reality it didn't. I mean it took a little long but nowhere near 7hrs to charge. Maybe like 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hrs to charge...and thats with me using it. So i guess that would be normal in all actuality. The time estimate that the phone displays is just off its mark.

Hmm...this also interesting because i do have the charger plugged into a power strip. When i charge it today, i will plug it directly into a wall socket and see if that makes a difference as well.

Are others having this? i mean i go through a full battery about twice a day.... I cant figure out what is draining it so bad. i have used WLD, greenify, and bootmanager to try to figure it out..... None of my apps are ever on the battery list, and screen is around 50% usually with android system and android OS always being up the list. I always thought it was my bad signal strength at work but i had two weeks off and my phone NEVER lasted even close to a day.
I have factory reset once but loaded my same apps backup.
I heard someone else mention that the sprint has this weird battery drain that is explainable and was wondering if others see that also.
I am on the search for a 6000+ mah battery i know it will have a replacement back plate but i don't want the whole case thing like the 9000 zero lemon.
Sounds like kernel wakelock
As of the last two days i have also been experiencing much faster battery drain. Have had the phone since launch and never had this problem.
I do not use the device in excess. Very few if any phone calls per day, some texting and gmail, occasional skim of xda, huffpo, phandroid apps and very light Twitter use if bored and not near the computer.
Battery has dipped 5% since writing this post...that's all of 1-2 minutes in use.
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
That's not normal for a Sprint LG G3. A couple of questions:
Have you looked at the battery stats page to see what app(s) are using the most battery? I'd suggest taking a screen shot of that page and posting it here.
Have you tried rebooting the phone? If there's an app or process running out of control that will often clear it up.
Are you rooted? If so, install better battery stats so we can get a better look at what's eating the battery.
Finally, you might want to take a look at this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...android-system-eating-your-battery-check.html
While it's unlikely you have the same problem I did, the tools and techniques I used to debug it might be useful for you.
Gonna wait for some custom roms to see if the problem just goes away.

Dude the battery app should show you what is causing it. Something has gone rouge!!! I just had my weather app running in the background using GPS for 5 hours, yeah my battery went way down. Freeze some BS apps. I routinely get 30 hrs plus on a single charge. Not the phone itself something you are using is causingi it.
As requested, my craptastic battery info. Brightness was 83.
