That as well. They received the phone back from the couriers on 1 July, a week later I trace the phone to the store...

Anyways the repaired phone works well for now.

You want to give us some more info we might be able to help you detect weather its a hardware or a software issue.
1. When you say not lasting long a) does the battery drop at a very fast pace ? b) does it jump from lets say 85 to 76% and then again all of a sudden 43%.
2. What does your battery monitor say ? Any battery consuming apps? Google Services ?
3. What have you tried to so far to try and detect fix the problem

Was that under warranty with your provider or directly with LG or with a third party?

Afaik the provider sends it to a LG repair centre. They come with a 2 year warranty from what I can gather.

Its a standard indication that the battery has been stuffed up. You will have to replace the battery. There are a couple of things you can try before going for a battery replacement. But in my experience it rarely has an effect on phones that the software hasnt really been tempered with.

Try booting on bootloader mode and clear the devices cache memory. That procedure also cleans the battery's cache resetting it as well. After you are done with that try and discharge the phone as much as possible. Even when a phone shuts down it still keeps some battery in backup. Try and boot the phone until it no longer tries to boot. Then leave it for a couple more hours to deplete the backup battery as well. Fully charge and see if it had any effect. If not then I am afraid your only option is to replace the battery. 9/10 times when the battery starts wrong indicating shuts down when its not supposed too and then boots up with a wrong indication again, then the battery is damaged and needs to be replaced as it no longer holds the right memory.

Hope it helps. Let us know :)

Ja, I have to sort my issue out now rather than later. I was overseas and had to do some data roaming for a short while before I got a local sim card for where I was. I restricted data usage on a per app basis within Android. Even though I later removed the data restriction on the same list of apps, they don't eff'ing connect on their own while on data, only if I open them to check/refresh or if I'm on wifi. So apps like Whatsapp, my email app etc just aren't giving notifications until I'm in wifi or I manually check them. Uninstalling and reinstalling effected apps with fresh settings hasn't helped. It's obviously a problem with an Android setting not being checked/unchecked internally, but I'm done with trying to figure it out. I'm starting fresh again and will never ever fk with data restriction settings again!

Regarding LG I honestly have no idea. Try your networks provider service centers, they have the most useless service but at least according to my knowledge they have original spare parts. You can try the cell repair shops usually they stock generic batteries. Personally I never had a problem with a generic battery. But thats me. I actually had a very good experience with my Iphone 4s. No problems whatsoever. But maybe I got lucky. I would prefer to go the original way.
