it's an older phone at this point. maybe it's losing power faster than it can figure it out? hopefully one of you out there knows a fix for this. thx

The G5 isn't THAT old, geez.

Anyway, my V20 was doing this, and it was just a ****ed up battery, misreporting it's percentages.

You can also try to do the battery stats cleaners if you are rooted, but I don't know if those even work anymore.

What I would recommend, is let the battery die, then charge it with a 900mah charger.(Something from an older phone) and let it sit without touching it.

Sometimes letting it charge with the slower chargers helps get it back to life

thanks. I may try that. though i charge my batterIES in an external charger that I guess is standard speed. definitely not as fast as charging by phone itself

The battery being kaput isn't exactly true I don't think. I have 3 different batteries and without fail at 15% it will tell me the battery is dead and it will then proceed to shut down. No bettery saver, just a black screen. Phone has been doing this since I got it. Stock rom or custom doesn't matter. Not sure if this is the right place to post, I have a H850.

This is the third phone I've had it was just replaced about 3 months ago I should say third replacement... Gets really hot messes up here in there... Recently I updated with the new 8.0 software... Now my battery cuts out at about 24% like clockwork so I replaced it with a new factory battery bought a T-Mobile for too much money... And it does the exact same thing... The bloody unit used to be able to do maps I could text and do other stuff at the same time and it would last you know for a while now if I do maps and a couple of emails or mean or text it's dead within an hour dot-dot-dot all since I've gotten that new 8.0 software

Definitely get a new battery, I had 2 batteries for my phone and both were doing that, ordered a new one off Amazon and it drained all the way to 1%

I'll second this. My main battery did start to swell a little besides the sudden shutdown at 15%. I also know that this swelling can eventually cause the fingerprint sensor to malfunction. Beware. Anyhow, I decided to use the "almost dead" battery to game for long hours while charging (PUBG:cowboy:). My healthy new battery was used for normal usage besides gaming. Hope this helps!
