I rooted my T-Mobile LG G2 (D801) and the firmware screen shows the red ROOTED. Also ran Root checker and it says the same. Then I ran TWRP and titanium backup... everything is fine. I then flashed several ROMS (hellfire, paranoid, cm11) all is well.

However, when I ran AOKP unofficial build compiled on 12/27/13 and try to install titanium it says I'm not rooted. Checked the firmware screen - still Red root, but when I run root checker: sorry this device doe not have PROPER root access.

Loaded titantium, because I think this might be the issue. Error message: Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This attempt was made using */system/bin/su" command.

Is it looking in the wrong area?

UPDATE:

Problem was with the build of AOKP. Installed the nightly from 2-8-14 and the issue was resolved... hope this helps someone having similar issues.

Hi!!

I drowned my N5 last week and managed to revive it after 4 days in rice + hair dryer + oven and it worked perfectly fine for 2, 3 days and I reflashed it 15 times in between for testing my rom.. and yeterday I went to recovery and it couldn't boot recovery..

Bootloader works fine and from there I can't go anywhere, it always bootloops on Google letters... also it powers ON whenever I plug in charging cable or if it's connected and I select Power Off in bootloader, it always boots up to google letters until I unplug it..

So I went and flashed factory images with the flash_all.sh script that came with the package and there was absolutly NO errors while flashing, it flashed perfectly fine, bootloader, recovery, radio, system etc...

But the problem remains..

Any ideas are welcome before I drain it completely :D

I'm suspecting on battery or charging controller
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Triversity:
There still could be some moisture inside that moved due to a movement of the phone.

I´d suggest putting it in rice once again or even opening it and then putting it in rice. I mean your warranty is gone anyways :D

But maybe there is someone with better advice, luckily I never had such a problem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Rice was a really good idea. Hairdryer and oven were really bad ideas. So much so that you've undone some of the good you did with the rice.

I wouldn't hold out much hope if I were you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LorD ClockaN:
I left it in rice after it didn't booted but probably too short.. I might put it in oven again :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You know that heat turns water into steam? Puts it in the air and spreads it around? Making even the dry parts of the phone wet?

If you want to ruin your device further, this is easily the best way to do it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Triversity:
Yes don´t put it in the oven.

And don´t use a hairdryer, chance are that you are pressing the water even further in small gaps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
Sounds like it's done for. Since you already not gonna be covered by warranty because of the water damage. I'd do what another poster suggessted and take it apart then soak it in rice in an airtight container for at least another 48 hours. I doubt it'll help since the phone already been booted but it's worth a shot. As far as the oven thing goes good luck. lol If you look online you will find some that have succesfully used an oven to reflow a logig board but they are in the tiniest of minorities I assure you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LorD ClockaN:
it's already in rice..

water turns into vapor and that way easier exits the device also

hairdryer would push the water further, but also evaporate it. all this is a 2 blade sword

I'm getting a new one tomorrow or in 2 days, but still wanted to get this one working. will leave it in rice for a couple of days more
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes

No. Every surface it hits becomes wet.

Yes.

Yes. Which is a BAD thing. Evaporated water doesn't disappear! It is in the air and every surface it hits becomes wet.

Take your phone to the Caribean for a week and let it dry there :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swhackeristahsan:
I admire the physics and chemistry going on in this thread (y)

Taking it apart and then drying it in the rice might work,if it doesnt then you probably have a problem in the firmware, try going back to stock if its possible
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Triversity:
The Carribean has really high humidity. As you can imagine this will not help to dry something...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Whats that got to do with anything?

Ok here is a test for you....

In your non-hermetically sealed kitchen, boil the kettle. When you see the steam coming out of the spout, put your hand over the steam, about an inch above the spout*

If you're right, the steam will change direction and travel around your hand magically.

If I'm right, once your hand has recovered from the scalding, you'll notice your hand is wet.

*DONT put your hand above the spout of a boiling kettle. I AM right. You WILL hurt yourself. Your hand will be wet in the same way the components in your phone would become wet if you put steam inside it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Warranty is gone when the moisture indicators are colored anyway, so stock or not doesn`t matter in this case.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LorD ClockaN:
I get that, I'm not 10y old, but I still think that IF there is little moisture left, while it evaporates I don't think it can make more damage and turn into a wet sword :D

I do think this thread went the wrong way..

[MENTION=5352803]swhackeristahsan[/MENTION]: I already did that as I said in the op
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Ha ha. Ok.

Unfortunately you'd be wrong there. Steam hits every surface it passes on the way out. Water is very corrosive. Even if there is only 1 water droplet in your phone, that becomes a lot of steam and damages everything it touches.

There's one fix and one fix only and its not heat
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LorD ClockaN:
ok, won't be heating it ever again :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swhackeristahsan:
Hahaha we have some pretty genius people up here on xda :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I'm surprised nobody mentioned disconnecting the battery and soaking the phone in 99% isopropyl alcohol. That's the most effective way to save a drowned phone.

Even at this point, opening it up and soaking it in alcohol and scrubbing the internals with a soft bristled tooth brush can help get rid of some of the corrosion that might have occurred from the water. If you want to salvage it, this is the way to go. Just stop trying to power it on before you do this, it is likely you are causing more damage.

I'd actually refrain from putting the screen and its assembly in there, though. Don't want to get liquid in there if you can't help it.

With my Galaxy Nexus after it's drop in the bathtub, I opened it up, and used a microfiber and alcohol to clean all of the parts. Set it to dry for a couple of hours, and it ended up as good as new.

So, I've been battling idle drain battery problems for a while now . I was unable to make much progress because I did not have visibility into partial wakelocks on the system . So I did what any inquisitive person would, I rooted my phone. Bye bye warranty.

Now that I have root, I am able to see the partial wakelocks in better battery stats. To my partial surprise :) , I do not see any substantial partial wakelocks that would explain the significant battery drain at night. I have good cellular signal, and wifi signal where the phone is placed.

Any clues?

Almost 25 percent in 9 hours. Also notice the lack of activity between successive awake blips, and the constant battery drain that occurs between them. Before I even got root and was able to look at the partial wakelocks, I had already suspected that there were no wakelocks going on but yet the battery was draining.

Below are screenshots from the stock battery app showing the top battery drainers and the details of the major ones.

By the way, I would attribute approximately 6 percent of the battery drain due to the screens. I have quite a bit of data that suggests at the brightness levels I was using the screen for those 30 minutes, the drain rate should have been around 12 percent per hour. That still leaves 18 to 20 percent of battery to be accounted for. According to better battery stats, the phone was only awake for around 30 minutes total when the screen was off. And looking at the CPU Lodge, it's clear that those 30 minutes or so were spent in the lowest frequency mode , and that the phone was in deep sleep at all other times.

Attached are the better battery stats logs that shows the partial wakelocks as well. I don't know why the CPU's states are not included in the file but I can assure you I took a look look at it and the 30 or so minutes of awake time were perfectly captured by the 300mhz state.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if0rg0t:
I turned airplane mode on, and left location services on. Battery drain was 2.8%/hr (measured over a 5% battery drain interval) with the phone only being awake for 7min 28sec when the screen was off. There were around 5min of NLP wakelocks, and some other miscelaneous ones. I don't think that explains the battery drain fully.

Then, I turned off location services, and the battery drain has been 1.7%/hr (measured over an 8% battery drain interval) with a total awake time of 5 mins, and of that only 1 min of awake time when the screen was off. Very few to no wakelocks.

What is wrong? Why is the battery draining at ~2%/hr with airplane mode on, location services off, and the phone being in deep sleep pretty much the whole time!?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vkk178:
Hey I'm trying to find if there of a pattern with the battery drain and the battery voltage (mv) .I slightly have the felling the battery is a bit wonky . Could you check the battery voltage while charging just before 100% and the voltage when it has fully charged ? .. Try the code *#*#4636#*#*

I feel the my peak battery voltage has dropped significantly over the last 2 weeks.

Try a Cache wipe in recovery - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2634361
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if0rg0t:
I don't think a cache wipe is the solution. For example, see the updated battery settings screenshot below. The flat line at the end is the result of just rebooting the device (no cache wipe). The battery is no longer draining constantly, even though the same services are activated.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
I'm the OP of the thread that I think first reported this issue. Note that I found that the drain is noticeable in airplane mode as you expect there to be almost zero drain, however it still happens when not in airplane mode as well, you just notice it less as the device is doing other stuff which all adds up to battery drain.

I think there is a driver bug, most likely a WiFi driver bug or possibly GPS driver bug. For example maybe GPS is somehow constantly active but the bug manifests itself in such a way that this is not reported to the OS itself which is why you do not see it active in the battery screen .

I had the exact same issue as reported above, no wakelocks over and above the normal amount but the drain was 3% hr or so. A reboot fixed it but it would reoccur when i connected to another WiFi network.

A factory reset fixed it completely until a few weeks ago when I was on the road and used GPS. That night I had the battery drain issue again.

So whether its WiFi or GPS that's the cause I don't know, and why, for me, did it stay fixed for so long. I also can't remember if I had GPS switched on when I first had the issue before the factory reset so makes it harder for me to determine the cause.

The above was all on 4.3. I've now upgraded to 4.4.2.

I think the only way to debug will to be to pull off all the various logs from android, you may even need to turn on various debugging/logs from the OS to capture more logs. I'm pretty sure you wont diagnose from just looking at wakelocks and battery screens.

If you can recreate this problem, and sounds like some of you have it a lot, then you are in a good position to get the logs.

BTW does anyone use the BBC weather app, I noticed this caused a LOT of NLP wakelocks so don't think its related but I did notice on 4.4.2 that it drained battery fast so I uninstalled. There is a thread in xda that I started about it.

A poster above says to clear cache, this is normally pointless as /cache will usually contain nothing except a few empty folders and a couple of log files. Also clearing cache means a reboot which temporarily fixes the issue anyway.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if0rg0t:
Thanks you very much for your reply Scott.

As you can see in my troubleshooting, I eventually turned location services and wifi off, but still measured a considerable battery drain. Do you suppose that once you use wifi, or location services after bootup, the effect may remain afterward even if they are switched off? If so, do you agree that if I turn off location services and wifi, then reboot so that the phone boots up with neither - that should be able to verify your hypothesis?

I'll go ahead and try that for a few days and see how it goes. Will report back.

Others have mentioned something to do with the cellular radio power management, and how rebooting and clearing the cache helps with that (apparently this came from a motorola rep...). I've included a data point in this thread where I merely rebooted without a cache clear and the problem went away. So, perhaps the clearing of the cache really does nothing at all ...

If this is a software issue, why aren't all phone with the same software version effected? How are people getting 6-7 days of standby time consistently? Maybe they never use wifi or location services? Well, I intend to test the wifi/gps hypothesis soon :).

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twist3d0n3:
if they're system apps, yeah. totally worth it tho cos you can do maps/fb etc too, also you can allow apps that get push messages to still give you notifications whilst greenified.

e: just to note, i have gps (high accuracy) enabled constantly and still manage 2 days.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
Maybe you can help test if you don't mind.

1. Use Google maps with high accuracy when you go out for 5mins or so.

2. Once home use phone as normal on WiFi for a bit, just 10mins will be enough.

3. Take note of battery percent.

4. Switch on airplane mode for 2hrs - DO NOT USE PHONE during this time.

5. After 2hrs take note of battery percent.

6. Report the battery percents recorded in this thread.

If you can do this we would be grateful.

Let us know your phone model, where purchased, ROM etc.

Thanks.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickeyvdb:
Hi,

Following this MotoG thread for some time I have to admit that my MotoG also has the same issue from time to time.

This is the reason now that I joined XDA because this issue is a real pain.

Having my MotoG for three weeks now I had to restart it four or five times to get rid of the excessive battery drain.

My MotoG (XT1032) is bought in the Netherlands, unlocked, rooted, CWM and stock ROM.

I did remove some Motorola apps and disabled some.

Because of the last remarks that it seems to be GPS related, I want to let you know that it also happened to me

without

using the GPS.

Yesterday it happened at school, at first the drain was not present but suddenly it started.

In the between the two situation I only checked my mail through Wifi and checked some news.

My MotoG has Wifi always on, bluetooth off, GPS off.

There must be something more than just GPS which causes this drain.

Hopefully we can find the root cause soon.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
Thanks for your reply, have you confirmed this drain happens when in airplane mode as well and that no wakelocks occur, no unusual statistics in battery screen etc. I ask as some people say they have the issue but then say they have greenified an app etc to stop it which basically means they dont have the issue at all. Im not saying I dont believe you, far from it, I just want to confirm its exactly the same issue as a few of us are seeing. Next time can you NOT reboot but leave phone in airplane mode for a few hours and DONT use it at all, then see if battery has gone down by 2-3% per hour.

Thanks.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickeyvdb:
Have not used airplane mode to check it, but will sure do this when it happens next time.

What I observed in battery stats was a high percentage of android-os.

I have not used greenify so far.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
Doesn't sound like the same issue if android OS shows high in battery stats. That sounds more like a wakelock issue of some kind which still means you may get drain in airplane mode but for a different reason.

This thread is specifically for the problem of ALL battery stats looking normal, so android OS doesn't show up as high.

I think your best get is to root and install 'wakelock detector' app and you will probably see some high wakelock for android OS.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if0rg0t:
Thanks for your post on the Motorola forums Scott. It was well written, and to the point. I hope this issue gets the attention it deserves. I'll be reporting in the next few days with my experiments.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickeyvdb:
Sorry to post this wrong condition.

I had the impression that I was suffering the same problem.

Will have a look with a 'wakelock detector' to see if I can tackle the high android-os consumption since I rooted my device already.

Although the issue seems different I will have a good look this morning since I have to use the GPS.

Will keep you informed if I notice something weird.

I do have the same GPS drain issue which is very annoying as I use Runkeeper almost every day.

I had no issues with US KitKat stock ROM. This problem appeared when I flashed the latest UK rom (176.44.1.falcon_umts.EESL.en.GB).

Maybe I go back to the US stock rom to see if it makes any difference.
