This happens when the bootloader is unlocked..
I have another issue though: 100% battery, watch says update ready to install, I touch yes to install, it counts down from 10 until reboot, but at 1s it either says Charge the watch to update (battery is still 100%, watch sits on charger) or it simply returns to watchface as if nothing happens. This is update version ending with 007 I think..
happens while under charger
This occurs even while it's charged to 100% and still on the charger.

Hey there,
So, for some reason my phone was acting weird. I wasn't recieving any messages or calls.. So, I decided to reset it by using the Sony Ericsson Updater. When I connected my phone in flash mode, it checked for updates and said that there is a new update available. So, I decided to go with the option to "set back to factory default and upgrade to the latest one." It started to update but in a few mintues. It came up with an error saying "update was unsuccesful, check and see if the battery is full."
After that now my phone doesn't boot up. It gives a white screen then "A yield sign and a picture of a phone" appears on the screen then the phone shuts down. It keeps doing the same thing. I tried to update it again, but no luck.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

percentage battery must be at least 50% before you start to update
try to charge your battery and then start again maybe will help

That's what I am trying to do. the phone is put to charge, not on the computer, but through an outlet. However, the phone starts up and shows that same yield sign and a phone picture then it shuts down. When it shuts down, a green led light comes on, as of it is charging, but the same process of restarting keeps happening.
I am not sure if it is even being charged.
Thanks fo the tip though.
update with SEUS, follow the instruction on a screen until you will see "phone connection" then connect your phone in flash mode and update with seus, for me always working in that way
I believe that your phone SHOULD be charging even though it has the exclamation mark boot screen. Just let it site there and try again in a little bit.
If anything, download flash tool and flash to latest firmware.
Thank you all for trying to help. Really appreciate it.
I had to take the battery out for a while, then i left to charge for a while.
Then I flashed it through SEUS and went with "Factory reset + Update" and thanks God it is working now, soo happy to have my phone back.
The few hours on iphone were just a headache. lol..

For the past few weeks, I have had a weird charging error where the phone would be charging on the ac charger for a while and then suddenly show 0% battery. When you remove the device from the charger, it immediately shuts down. However, restarting the device clears the error and it will show 100%. This occurred right before the 4.3 update, but has persisted after the update as well. I have tried a factory reset but that hasn't fixed it. See the screenshot below.

Did you try to change the kernel?

No, haven't tried that. Never flashed a kernel or ROM. I have rooted, but that is it.

Oh, I asked because I had a similar issue, but it was related to a custom kernel.
It could be also a hardware problem/failure.
I've experienced some problems with a bug from in systemUI under 15% and 1% of battery level but it didn't affect the charging process and battery level in any way.
Hey there,
i got my Truesmart, tried booting it and it worked. Battery was at 45%
I started the OTA-Update that was suggested after 10 minutes, it shut down and started the updating process, after which it remained black. I then put it into the craddle and tried charging it. Here is what happens now:
When charging, the omate spash-screen pops up for ~5-10 seconds and then blackscreen. This process repeats itself every ~30 seconds. I've already tested the spare battery with exactly the same result. Charging over usb gets the same results and a faulty usb message on my pc every blackscreen. I think, there is enough charge on the battery but I cannot test it.
What can I do from now? Is there a possibility to restore/flash the watch?
Help greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Kostronor

Looks like a bootloop to me. You should try to go back to stock rom. Most people use "sp flash tools", there are tutorials on this forum. (If you made no backup, you may find one also on this forum)

You interrupted the system update, so you've probably soft-bricked the watch. I'd take the above poster's advice and use SP to flash the stock firmware.
In the future, just as a point of advice on any device you own, don't do any OTA or recovery/backup processes if your battery is less than 60-70%. It probably won't make it.
My watch updated to 5.1.1 last night. Everything seems fine except when I place it on the charger it doesnt start charging. If I restart the watch on the charger it starts charging ok (confirming the base and cable are ok) until the next time I use the watch and I put it back on the charger and it wont charge until I restart it again. In other words I need to restart every time I put it on the charger.
Has anyone else experienced this?

If you have problems after OTA 5.1.1, do a factory reset on watch once!
This solves most issues after update!
Thankyou for the suggestion Bitstra.
I bit the bullet overnight and did a full reset (now called a factory reset) on the watch. Sadly the watch is still the same. I put the watch on the charging dock and it wont start charging until I restart the watch..but restarting seems to work every time.
I can live with the problem but I cant help feeling I should have bought the Sony SW3...and then I wouldnt have also been let down by LGs crappy decision not to build the wifi hardware into most of their models.
I see I am not the only one with this problem.....

Can confirm issue...woke up this morning to a battery level of 44% after putting it on the charger before bed (don't recall what it was at last night) had to restart to get it to charge... Will reset today as I was planning to anyway..
Hi:
I have 2 chargers because I use one for travel. After updating to 5.1.1, one works and the other does not. I swapped the components and found it was the cable. I hope that this helps.

Nope. Something is wrong with your watch configuration. Have you tried another plug for your charger? It shouldn't do that and I don't have problems and I am on 5.1.1.

Considering the fact that there are many people experiencing the same issue, it is most certainly NOT his watch configuration..There definitely is something wrong with the update on our watches.
For me, the problem is intermittent so it maybe only a matter of time before you or others see it creep up. Luckily, one can tell right away whether a charging session will work or whether a reboot is required. As bugs go, this is only a minor inconvenience..albeit one that LG needs to address..
Same here, watch was charging wen I went to sleep but charging stopped at around 60%

Well now mine isn't charging unless I reboot it on the cradle. Will investigate more later.
I had the same issue with cable from another device.
With genuine cable charging starts well.
I also had something similar. The watch doesn't always start to charge, but reinserting it into the cradle seems to fix it every time. This began to happen a few days before the 5.1 update (so no direct link to 5.1. but maybe something is wrong in Play services. I also sometimes had an issue with a battery drain the few days before the update).
There is a slight corrosion (discoloring) starting on the second charging pin
Both my brother and I noticed the same problem after receiving the 5.1.1 update on our G Watches. For me, taking it in and out of the cradle does not fix it. If the battery is low it will not charge until it is rebooted. In the morning when it has a full charge I can take it on and off and it will go into charge mode reliably, but at the end of the day it will not.
Happens here too. I have to shut down the watch and then put it at the cradle.
Funny, had the same issue. Tried switcing cables, connecting it straight into PC and reseating the watch on the charging pad. Nothing helped. It started to charge the moment baterry died and it shut down. Also running 5.1.1. Thought it was some charging contacts on the watch issue but seems to be software indeed. Still have some battery left but putitng it on the charing pad does nothing at the moment. Nice bug!
Another G watch user here with the same charging problem after updating to 5.1.1... I guess that I am not the only one.
Same problems here with 5.1.1
Any solution to that? I wiped the watch recently and the bugs still stays. It's a bit annoying to force restart the watch everytime i need to charge it.
For me charging works after putting Watch a few Times on and off the docking

Your problem seems to be different then. I tried to plug it few times, cleaing the connectors, using charger instead of computer that powers the charging station. Nothing helps. It starts charging the moment i reboot the watch and only then.
Hi guys
I noticed that after receiving the latest update and installing it about a week now, my phone is overheating a lot while charging, a problem which I never encountered before this update for about 6 months of usage.
Is it just me or everybody?
Every phone is getting hot while charging it, but if you are using it while charging it gets hot. Also it matters if you have QuickCharge charger or Xiaomi charger that comes with your phone.

Hi thanks for answering
Yes I have been using quick charge and I always turn off my phone before plugging it to the wall. But this happened exactly after the update. I hope that it'll settle by its own or receive another update to fix this issue. Maybe a Factory Reset will solve it, but I don't want to do that yet until I am sure there is nothing else I can do.

I think factory reset won't gonna solve that problem. Mayby try installing custom rom or change kernel if you have unlocked bootloader or just download Stock rom and install it using fastboot (also needed to unlock bootloader)
Btw I'm using quick charge and my phone gets hot but im not using it while charging due to safety and destroying battery life. (im on stock rom 10.2.1.0)
