My LG G3 is having the issue of the Sprint Spark screen just popping up and there's nothing I can do. I can't turn the phone off and whenever I plug it into a charger the Sprint Spark screen never goes away (usually has a break with a blank gray screen). This happened after I opened the facebook app, is there a way I can fix this? Has anyone else been having this problem?
Have you pulled the battery to reboot? The Sprint spark screen is the boot logo, so your phone is not booting up. Did you root before this or anything else?

Sounds like you're in a boot loop. Did you root? If so, try this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...de-how-to-restore-sprint-lg-g3-ls990-t2852042. If not, you may need to take it to a sprint store. Before you do either though Definitely pull the battery and see if that helps. Next option might be to do a factory reset: http://solverbase.com/w/LG_G3:_Hard_Reset_(Factory_Reset)

Anyone getting several random reboots a day from their Evo3D? I am having that issue including the screen not turning on and then rebooting.
Nope. Turn off Fastboot. Turn off the phone. Hold Volume down + Power. Reset.
When I hold the power and volume down do I do a factory reset from Hboot?
Still getting random reboots after turning off fastboot in settings.

weird, no problems here.
I got a similar problem here except mines happens whenever I try to run a couple applications at the same time.
mine was doing it, it would lock up too and have to pull the battery to reset it
I returned the phone after all the TS'ing failed, and my 2nd one's not doing it
Yep. Mine just did 5 reboots in a row. No joke. All I did was try to go into Skins. That's when it completely froze up, restarted and it won't stop. I just bought the thing not more than 3 hours ago. I can't figure out what the problem is. It sometimes goes past the boot screen but after the HTC Splash screen the screen goes black with nothing but the Hot buttons at the bottom on.

Perform a Factory Reset. That will likely solve the issue. You can search the forum or google the instructions.

Can I get into recovery if I'm not rooted? The phone goes passed the splash screen then goes blank.
Edit. I didn't know hboot had that option. I'm trying it now. Thanks.
EDIT
Thanks, that did the trick.

Nope. Even after a factory reset it continues to reboot.

This may or may not work, but pull the data off your sd card if you have any, if not, don't worry about it. Pull it from the phone, format it on your computer (just a quick format should work) put it back in your phone then perform another factory reset. See if that helps. My first one reboot randomly several times when I first got it and that seemed to help for a while. If it happens again, call Sprint and tell them what's happening and have them send you another one. I had to do that. I have 35 days before I have to send my old one back, that gives me plenty of time to play with the new one and see if I can recreate the issue. So far...it's working perfectly. This is an awesome phone, but getting new technology when it first comes out, I expect bugs.

Have you tried running the RUU? I'm trying to convince myself that it's a software problem because I have a perfect screen.

I had the same problem with one of my 3Ds. I took it back and they exchanged it no problem.
Took mine to the store and they gave me a brand new one since it was in the 30 Days. This one works perfectly
....i'm on my third one now, sprint told me this was the last time they will replace it...im having the same issue....black screen, low reception, restart, and battery life sucks on this one the other ones were perfect on battery life....hope they fix it.
i have the issues for several days. fixed without hard reset
1) uninstall all 3rd party app killer. ATM, ATK, juicy defender
2) use evo task manager to kill apps when memory below 100m
3) restart the phone, and turn off the phone again.
4) if your phone restart within 20sec, then your phone is in good condition
the reboot can be caused by
1) 3rd party app killer
2) low memory or extreme CPU usuage(3d camera and music play and lot of background app sametime)
3) hot battery
4) bad cache and improper restart. if reboot once, it will continue reboot, the memory seems have bad cache, you need to manualy turn if off safely and restart again.
i cannot be more satisified with the battery. don't use any atm atk or juicy defender, they are battery killer.
decrease display brightness, disable GPS.
i play online stream music for 8hrs on wifi and still have 40% battery left. no other phone can do this.
Happened to me as well, after 5 random reboots within the first 4 hours of having the phone and then not being able to boot it up at all I returned it and got a new one, fine so far only 1 random reboot in 3 days.
My reboots are very different and never when I'm using the phone but rather when I try to use the phone. With my phone obviously being on, I would press the power button but the screen would stay black. I would press it again and still nothing, then immediately after the screen would flash the lockscreen and then go black and immediately after that it reboots to the HTC screen. This happens everyday, sometimes 4-5 times a day. Anybody else seeing this exact behavior?
i've had the phone for about 7 days and everything was fine until tonight when i tried to use my phone. the phone won't power on anymore.
i plugged it in for a couple of hours and it still didn't turn on. the battery wasn't low when it died. i also tried holding the volume down button then powering on. I even tried plugging it into the usb. i don't know what else to do.:crying:
is it rooted or unlocked? if so which freegee is it unlocked with? you could always join the irc channel for some help. it may be faster through that

My brother actually has a completely stock one and is complaining if the same problem to me. I just told him to return it for a new one. Mine is rooted + unlocked and not suffering from any problems. Possibly a hardware problem or overheating?
My friend just had the same issue this morning,
the phone was very hot and wouldn't turn on.
we tried pressing pwr+voldown and nothing happened. then tried pwr+volup and it then showed the LG log but as soon as we let go of any of the button the logo disappears and nothing else happens.
charging also didn't help
*his phone is un-rooted. So i told him to contact Rogers wireless.

Sounds like a soft brick. Happened to me a few times. Tell him not to worry. LGNPST would fix this.
Edit: didn't see that it was unrooted. Yeah I think you told him the right thing. That shouldn't happen if he hasn't done anything to his phone.
I have had this happen several times.
If you press (or hold) the power button, do you see a cheap white "battery charging" animation?
I can't say exactly what, or why, it works, but keep at it. I think the magic trick is to hold the power until the LG logo has appeared and the boot animation is about to (or has) started.
Sorry I can't be more specific, but I was panic stricken every time. If this is happening to you, then you understand what I mean.
I hope this helps someone. This phone seems to be full of issues... I'm just hoping the software it's the cause, and not the hardware.

Same problem for me, phones stops responding unexpectedly, could be that it's power-off by itself but in order to power-on it I need to press power button for a long time ~30 sec. I was thinking that it's because of SnowJB custom Rom but it seems not, the strange thing that it starts only few days ago and appeas almost every day. May be it's needed to format internal or external SD card to fix it?

I'm completely at a loss here. I was running a 4.3 rom for the past week or two with no issues. Pulled my phone out of my pocket 30 min ago, hit the power button and the screen wouldn't light up. I tried it again and still no go. I tried swiping to unlock, even with the black screen and i felt it vibrate.
Ever since then my phone is non responsive. I can't get it to boot, can't hard reset it, nothing. The vibrates stop when I'm holding down power and down volume but that's about it. I timed the constant vibrates and they happen every 34 seconds according to the Win8 clock (which i've heard in inaccurate).
I'm gonna let the battery drain and hope that it will boot back up after it dies...but until then, any ideas?
Try plugging it into your computer and see what comes up. Which 4.3 ROM were you on?

That's the first thing I tried. I get nothing when i plug it into my comp. Nothing pops up in device manager. The comp doesn't detect it at all.
And I was running the 8/23 release of carbon 4.3 and I didn't have one problem with it until this happened :\
EDIT: The phone's battery finally ran out. It stopped vibrating and after a bit i plugged it in. After a few min it just starting doing it again.
I disassembled the phone and removed the battery for awhile hoping it would somehow help. Didn't do anything. It showed the flashing charge light (like when it's really low) for maybe a minute then it stop lighting up at all. Sometimes if i leave it unplugged for a bit and plug it back in it will flash the light again. That's about all I'm getting out of it now.
I'm thinking something failed internally. It happened while it was on and I was using it so there's no possibility that it was from a flash or anything like that.
Took my phone to the sprint store. The tech wasn't sure either but he thought it might be the screen that died. The vibrating could be the phone trying to boot then realizing there's no screen. They took it apart to check for moisture/damage and said I'm good to go for the $50 replacement.
So my new Evo will be here Tuesday.

did you resolved it i'm having same had same issue as you mine is htc sensation but think is the same thing ive replacet the digitizer some day ago and it was working very good untill it start to vibrate and than died, now it flashes an orange light when i try to charge and after a while stops but i cant power it on nothing hapens when i press power button
Did you resolve the issue?
Did you ever resolve this issue? My Evo LTE started doing the exact same thing this evening and all of the Sprint stores are closed until tomorrow. I figure it's something internal that died and I can't see what it's trying to do... I guess you just got the replacement and didn't ever get it resolved with that particular phone?

Starting last night my 3 day old V10 has begun rebooting itself randomly. It happens when I text, look at images in the gallery, reading Facebook or Reddit, taking pictures.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? What could be the cause of it? And how do I stop it from happening?
Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk
I'm looking at the V10 for a upgrade from Verizon now that I'm off contract. Haven't seen this discussed as a V10 issue from my research. My current phone has a removable battery that started randomly rebooting. Maybe the battery is not seated properly. Try shutting it off, take off the back cover, pull and re-seat the battery after checking the contacts.
I'd take that badboy back to the VZ store for an exchange
Try uninstalling any sketchy apps then do a factory reset.
Take it back, get a replacement
Hey what did you do to resolve this? I have the same issue
also maybe it was just me but i noticed it when i was charging my phone. On a side note have you noticed when charging the phone and the screen off, the second screen maybe every 25 seconds blinks for a split second?
I am also having the same problem. I just got off the phone with LG product support. The lady I talked to said she had not had any calls regarding this issue yet. She recommended putting the phone in safe mode to see if its a downloaded app that is causing it or if that does not work to do a factory reset on the phone. She really didn't have any idea though. I don't think the safe mode approach will be any help but i might try a factory reset.
Factory reset doesnt work either it still reboots on its on. Mine is off and cant come back on
So, for summer reason my phone has locked up a few times now. I wake up in the morning at like 10 but my phone says 3am. I try to go to home screen but its frozen. I reboot and when its done rebooting, its still frozen. I can't do anything. I've nandroided back to stock w/root and it works OK. But sometimes it locks or freezes again. It's becoming frustrating.

About the subject line - I'd briefly describe the actual issue, like 'Phone is frozen after hours of standby'.
About the issue - I haven't had the issue you're describing, but almost every morning I have to check if the phone actually boots upon powering up, because sometimes it just stays on either LG logo or Tmobile logo, but does not boot. In case it does not boot, I hold the Down + Power for a few seconds, it reboots and goes fine afterwards. At first I thought it has to do with the battery getting too warm for its liking, but I shut the phone off for the night.
Currently root methods are for the t-mobile model v10. Are you by chance att/version?
No, hence the reason I put TMO in the subject line

I used to have an issue with notifications and led locking up the G4.
We dont have LED, but might it have something to do with notifications?
If you reset your phone and leave it without syncing / restoring anything, see if it still locks up?
