Hey guys, I've been having a really weird issue for a couple of days now. For your better understanding I'll list the things that I did with my d855 (Including some stupid ones)
1. I was on a cm 13 nightly rom, I was getting pretty bored so I decided to try out the fulmics 4.2 . So, I did. I flashed it without any hiccups. Everything seemed to be going fairly well. (I did make a TWRP backup and i also checked md5 of the zip file. It matched out)
2. I installed all of my apps that i use, Set up my wallpapers, nova, etc. I used it for a whole day and i noticed that the sot improved quite a bit from cm 13.
3. I'm in my bed, obviously not sleeping, you know how we do. And an incredibly stupid idea came to my mind. I thought "Hey! It's 4'o clock in the morning and i have school tomorrow, BUT WHO GIVES TWO ****S?! why not try out the lg g4 camera app ?!? Now, I had tried it before a long time ago, The camera didn't work, But the phone definitely did. So I wasn't paying too much attention on what the thread said about which version of android it was for. And just like a complete moron i downloaded the thing and proceeded to place the apk and 'libs' folder on my phone. I did give them proper permissions.
4. After that I went ahead and rebooted my phone. It booted just fine. I tapped on the camera app and it gave me an error. So i rebooted again, same as last time it booted up just fine but the camera didnt seem to work. Then suddenly it just shut down and then the lg logo flashed. It booted to the homescreen just fine. Then it turned off again and rebooted again. This loop started to go on and on forever.
5. So I decided to boot into twrp and wipe my art/dalvik cache and normal cache. Then i pressed on reboot. This time the phone didnt turn off, it optimized all of my apps. It took a while but i was on my homescreen and it didnt turn off. So I went ahead and opened up root explorer, located to where i pasted the camera, deleted the libs folder and the apk and also renamed my original camera app from .bak to .apk . Then I rebooted again, and it started the weird looping thing once again.
6. I realized that it boots up just fine if it's plugged in. But it seemed to turn off after 5 mins or so even when plugged in. I thought I messed up my rom or something so i decided to check by entering into recovery. But the result was the same. It just turns off. So since it was turning off even when i was in recovery i thought it was a faulty battery.
7. So i busted out my ZTE pocket wifi router and proceeded to take its battery and hold it up against my d855's battery pins with my finger. (Probably not safe) And the phone seemed to work just fine. I could use it for days without any issues. So at that point im like 110 percent sure its a faulty battery. Fair enough.
8. But, just to be certain i thought lets try doing a factory reset and flash the fullmics again. Result = Wank.
Then I wiped the cache again. Result = Wank. Then i decided to restore to the backup i made earlier that day. Result = An oreo to be given to the one with the correct guess.
9. At this point i wasn't 110 percent sure that it was a faulty battery. I KNEW it was a faulty battery. I was feeling it in my left testicle. So I decide to finally sleep cuz you know, gotta get some sleep, got a big day ahead of me tomorrow. Cuz I dont have my phone. So, I prepare myself and go to sleep.
10. The next day I decide to give it one last shot. I was thinking about wiping it clean and restoring to the backup again.
11. This is where the interesting thing happens. Bear in mind, I am NOT plugged in. Im on my G3's battery. I hold down the volume down and power button. The lg logo shows up. I let go of the buttons. I press them again. The white factory reset screen shows up. Now, I left my phone on that screen for legit 20 mins ladies and gentlemen and it didnt turn off once. But as soon as i click yes for twrp to launch the phone turns off before the twrp logo can show up. I tried the same thing with the ZTE battery as well, and it worked just fine. Only this time it actually booted to twrp. And it booted into the system as well.
Now, wtf is this? Wouldn't the phone turn off in the factory reset screen if it was faulty? And if the battery isn't faulty, then why does it work with a different battery but not with the lg one?
Now, My question to you guys, WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?
Help me out people. Expert help needed. TIA
