Whenever my phone goes to sleep, and I try and turn on the screen again, it simply reboots. This occurs in airplane mode with nothing enabled as well
Unlocked, CM7. I flashed different roms and they all had this, I don't think it happened on stock.
Any fixes? All the threads I've seen have no real info
Seems like your system files might be corrupted. Wipe system partition from fastboot or cwm then reflash your rom. Any time I had weird stuff happen on a rom, I wipe the system then it goes away. Hope this helps you get rid of this issue. Good luck!

Doesn't work, just wiped system, cache and dalvik, then flashed rom and sod's still happen.
I have also tried flashing several radios, all with sod's. Any suggestions?
wakelock
I had this problem on stock and every rom I tried (this was actually the reason I unlocked) I installed wakelock app from the market. I set it on partial wakelock. I think it keeps phone from going into deep sleep. It worked for me. I think it may make battery life a bit worse but having to pull battery sucks. Since I also have the issue on stock I am prob sending it in on warranty

So you've had SODs since you got the phone? Wakelock seems to work, but kills the battery.
For anyone who does NOT have SODs what modem/radio are you using?
Yes had them since I got the phone. Wakelok fixed it for me. Battery life is not horrible. It still last me like 14 hrs moderate use. I have tried radios and everything else I could thing of. Think mine is hardware related. That is why I am sending it in. I was surprised to find out it was still under warranty
I've just noticed that when mine shuts down, it gives a green notification first, then when I try turning the screen it, it reboots.
Unfortunately, my phone is out of warranty, I bought it used
SODs still happen in airplane mode.
Try wakelock and post if that fixes it.
Call Motorola directly. I bought two used. Had the same problem. They replaced them both with new units.

Just don't say anything about buying it used.
Good luck.
As posted above, wake lock works but uses battery.
I live in Canada and am out of warranty, would I still be able to call?
It's worth a try. You have nothing to lose.

I had the same problems.. but mine happens when phone gets above 35°C.. So I activate wakelock at this time until i see temp is lower than that.. after that I disable wake lock.. it's a pain in the ass.. but it is better than pull the battery out once every 15 min..

Is there something specific about 35C, and are you sure it is exactly that?
I have installed 2.3.6 Bell and I still get reboots, anyone have a link to stock 2.2.1 Bell SBF that I can try?
sometime 35 sometime 36.. but above that temp.. sod kills me.. under that temp phone runs smooth..
I'm a system enginner but I haven't program in years.. I'm thinking seriously in create just a services to read temp and launch a wake lock when temp reache some level..
I'm pretty sure I will help lot of people but aint sure when i can start doing some work

my phone would not actually reboot but in went into SOD (sleep of death) so every time this has happened to me i installed a new kernel or reinstalled the one i had.........always rectified the issue.
Same issue
I had the same problem when I flashed CM9 and then when I downgraded back down to CM7, I tweaked the kernels I used and changed my UV settings and it hasn't happened since. Perhaps flash a different kernel and see if that works?

Tried several of them, this seems to happen on stock 2.3.6 as well.
I flashed a stock sbf to return to stock. Still had the sleep of death. Reboots after and during phone calls, and touch screen problems. I believe it is hardware related.
I thought I was alone but there's a thread for this for another carrier (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/lg-g3-d855-shutsdown-t2803292). I was charging my phone and it randomly shut off twice without any warning. It had plenty of battery so not sure what the issue is. It's as if I installed a bad ROM that needs tweaking. Anyone else?
**Update 7/18/14**
The issue was due to ART being enabled instead of DAVLIK. Looks like we'll have to wait for LG to address that later.

I've been following that also but it appears to be only the D855 International version, although there are 3 at&t posts and 1 guy with sprint who posted once, but none of those 4 posted the version. One of the guys that said his was on at&t after being asked said it was a D855 which is still the international version and doesn't make sense LTE band wise, so for now those 4 posts may just be trolls.
Yea it happened several times again tonight so I'm going to get a replacement unit tomorrow morning. No explanation. I just leave it on my desk while working and it dies so I have to take out/put in the battery to start it up again.
Did it shutdown or freeze? Mine froze 4-5 times since I got it today. When it happens I can't even power it on/off. Had to pull battery.
All these started after I switched to ART. And I've switched back to dalvik it has been OK for about an hour now.

This is the exact thing I've experienced with the device today. It froze on me about 3 times with ART. Going back to Dalvik is no problems though

Ye I'm pretty sure it's ART now. I've been on the phone (with dalvik) for about 2 hours and no freeze. Before that (with ART) I had 4-5 freeze in less than 3 hours. I can't say ART is noticeably faster either.
Anyway, I may switch to ART one more time but will run back to dalvik at the first sign of trouble.
I'll try switching to Dalvik cause I'm also on ART. My unit wouldn't respond to any button as it would remain a blank screen until I pull the battery.
It's definitely ART people. I can confirm this, because I originally started with ART and experienced random power offs, force closes and freezes. I did a factory reset and tried again with ART and same issues.
I factory reset it again, stayed with dalvik and NO problems. I have 2 other friends go through the same situation and still had issues with ART.

Is this a Verizon specific issue, e.g., one of the VZW apps doesn't like ART? I've seen many people say switching to ART improves performance with some minor app compatibility problem. but nobody mentioned freeze or power off.
I wonder if disabling VZW bloat may help.

Should this be a concern whenever the G3 is updated to Android L? (I'm assuming that will happen at some point...)

I thought ART will be the default in L. So hopefully they will test the hell out of it and whatever bug they have now will be fixed.

not sure what issues you are referring to. I've had zero issue other than the ART problem. pretty sure that'll get fixed with L, if not earlier.
No issues other than with ART in the last 2 days. I really have nothing to complain about on this phone especially with root, xposed, and tweakbox

ART Shutdowns
I deleted all lg/vzw bloatware and phone was still shutting down after switch to ART... Until I deleted Google Search. No shutdown since.

I'm referring to the many people who have mentioned problems with their G3s after switching to ART, which is what L is based off (as far as I know based on my limited knowledge of it). So, I was asking people, who have more knowledge than I do, if that indicates a potential problem whenever the G3 is updated to L. I know that sometimes updates don't play well with previous versions (like KitKat messing with my old S3).
Only thing I did when I got the phone was
Very first thing I did was add my google account
I turned ART on and rebooted
Installed Titanium backup
Attempted to restore my apps from my former phone.
During this whole process I had 3 hard lockups and about 6 reboots. (I spent the day trying to get my phone setup)
After 5 hours of hating the G3, I figured it had to be ART.
So I factory reset my phone and repeated all of the above EXCEPT for enabling ART, and did not get a single lockup or reboot.
Anyone else have problem with ART. I really want to use it, Android L everyone will, but I have it on my HTC one m8 and man does help with battery.
Let me know others who have tried this...
Anyone have any thoughts on the matter...
I'm going to be completely honest. I had A LOT of problems when I enabled ART which is weird, because I had it on my m8, g2 and nexus 7 and never had problems, but on my g3 i had Random powering off, constant freezes, force closes and incredible battery drain. I did a factory reset and kept everything on dalvik and everything works great.

Yep, sucks! Having a clear understanding of how ART works, I really want it, when implemented correctly your battery lasts much longer, and programs load quicker. A shame LG didn't spend any time testing their implementation of it. There are only a couple phones that support this, you would think LG would test, i bet LG didn't bother making sure their own software was compatible. Like turning ART on, on a ROM that doesn't support it. So this pretty much confirms that the LG G3 stock rom does not support ART.
Another reason I can't wait for a bootloader unlock or loki. I know the developer community will be able to get it right. LG did such a bad job it makes me wonder if they're developer team even heard of ART, it looks like they just grabbed the lastest version of KitKat which has ART in there, and they didn't bother doing anything at all to their ROM to coincide.
I spoke with my friend who just got it and he confirmed similar problems on art.
Can confirm, spent 3 or so hours troubleshooting the problems (which I thought were due to an accidental system app restore via Titanium Backup), but it turned out to be ART.
It also might have been the reason for some issues I ran into with downloading/installing apps and updates from the Play Store (usually just taking an extremely long time to install, occasionally freezing and automatically rebooting, occasionally giving an error code), though I can't be 100% sure ART was the cause.
Whatever the case, seems to be stable now on Dalvik. I wonder what's causing the issues on our phones, the other carrier versions reportedly work fine on ART...

i noticed a few of you have said a factory reset back to dalvik. Does it still lock up if you just switch it back in Developer Settings and reboot? Id rather not factory reset after i have my phone set up now. Thanks!
I've been on ART with no issues yet. Maybe I'm a fortunate one. It converted 249 apps, took around 20 mins to do so... But once it did, I had a little stuttering issues. Once the apps settled in, I've been smooth sailing.
I had 4-5 lockups (deep sleep / coma / battery pull) yesterday after flipping over to ART. Last night I did a factory reset and left things w/ Dalvik. No problems yet. Really glad to hear it isn't just me!

Switching it and rebooting should work in most cases, although if you still get lockups and crashes or issues downloading Play Store apps, then I'd do a factory reset too.
Ok, thanks!
when i switched to art I got some massive battery drain, factory restored and it went away. Gonna stick with dalvik for now, until i can figure out what is causing the problem.
I thought my unit was faulty when I switched to ART cause I had random shut downs and high battery drain. It seems though that the G3 (VZW) is not ready for it yet until a firmware update.

I enabled it, but it was a disaster making the thing way more laggy than before--brutally slow with apps crashing.
It's clear we all had similar problems with ART and dalvik is the best option.

I experienced much the same thing.I've pretty much been on ART since I got the phone. I was having a lot of lockups like the rest of you. Last night I factory reset then enabled art again. It seemed ok last night, but this morning it was rough again. Eventually Google play stayed upgrading a bunch of apps. There were some issues while the updates were happening, but when all the updates were nearly done the My Verizon app "unfortunately" closed. Since then it's been golden.
I'm at 40% battery left after 10 hours on battery, 2.5 hours screen on time. Not quite what I was hoping for but much much better than I had yesterday.
I guess I'm a lucky one. Over 250 apps optimized and no issue or reboot. Yet.... In fact I've no issues at all. Worth reboots,heat,wat not..

I switched over to ART but it was shutting down anytime I would have it locked for more than 5 minutes. Then i would have to pull the battery because it wouldn't turn back on. Now I'm back to davlick for now.

I wont even bother with ART once I get my G3, I never found the difference to be all that noticeable, but I noticed a huge difference on Android L, just wait for the Android L update to the G3 and itll be fully optimized.
Good afternoon-
Great phone, but has anyone else had bad operating system luck? Seems like my phone is freezing and/or locking up daily, and needs to be re-booted. If it were windows I'd call it a BSOD incident. My S3 running Paranoid Android nightlies was even more stable than this.
Tim
I am not having problems like you report at all. The only lockups I had were during the brief period when I ran under ART, and they went away completely after I switched back to Dalvik. Note that under ART my G3 got really hot...
That is what I think is causing most of these phones troubles. I think they were designed in a way that is prone to overheating issues. I also think the designers tried their best to avoid overheating through throttling - which causes some performance degradation, and doesn't always work anyway.
Minor assembly differences could be causing major differences in how different G3s heat-load. This could explain why some owners who have reported lockup issues like yours have gotten much improvement by exchanging their phone, which is what I suggest you do if you can.

I agree with Trent. Seems some G3s just don't run well. Mine runs great. I have it rooted with xposed and have removed the bloat and no issues at all. I couldn't be happier.
I've even played some games for the first time on my smartphone including Asphalt 8 and I've played it for about an hour non stop the other night while I had time to kill and still no issues, the game played great, phone didn't heat up and get laggy.... Nothing. It just played.
Hard to say really what's causing the issues for some, could be a funky device, maybe a factory reset would help... Maybe people also should take a look at what apps and widgets they have running as well prior to thinking the phone is junk lol not saying that's you, just an idea

It's a pretty random problem, hasn't happened for a couple of days. I run a pretty lean system, not a lot of apps or widgets. Maybe getting rid of some bloat would help. Thanks all, nice to know it's not something everyone is going through. I'm enjoying the phone more than I thought I would, been on the S series since the first Galaxy Fascinate, so this was a bit of a leap. The combo of Knox and Touchwiz did me in...

I'm wondering if the accessibility service has anything to do with these random shutdowns. I've never turned on ART, but with several xposed mods, tweaksbox, and some debloating, my phone seemed stable for the first few weeks I owned it. One day I had a random reboot. It didn't happen again for a week or so, and then it happened once more. A few days later I noticed one of my tasker scripts (which reroutes gmail notification sounds through the headset iff the headset is connected) wasn't working. I checked the tasker accessibility service and it had turned itself off. After re-enabling it, my random shutdowns soon returned.
Anyone care to try ART with all accessibility services uninstalled? This would include talkback.
mdm_hsic_pm0, the battery killing wakelock I have witnessed on every rom I have flashed lately.
Now it has come to this point where Im really asking myself why do I still use this phone when it can drain out the battery at any given time in my pocket without me noticing it until its too late...
I have tried every possible fix and at this point Im really about to give up and go back to my old Windows Phone which atleast worked.
Am I alone with this problem? I just cant be the only one who has to deal with this :crying:

I feel your pain. About a year ago, I traded in my beloved Note 2 solely due to this wakelock, and got a Oneplus One. I will never buy another phone without an unencrypted bootloader, so that rules out any further Samsungs, it appears. But I otherwise loved the Note. I had the 1 and the 2, my wife still has the 2, and I have a 10.1 (which does not suffer this wakelock). But I could not stand my otherwise stellar Note 2 due to this wakelock appearing out of the blue and destroying my battery on a regular basis. I researched this for A YEAR and never found any solutions, and got to the point where I put a wakelock detector widget on my homescreen and whenever I noticed the wakelocks over 50%, I rebooted, which usually solved it for a day or two, but sometimes for only a few hours or not at all.
My wife still has a Note 2, though, and trying to renovate her phone, I put a Slim rom on it. thinking that perhaps the problem had finally been solved. These are the best battery roms for the Note, but they still suffer the wakelock, like every other rom and kernel I tried, and I tried all of them. But it seems the AOSP roms get the wakelock about twice as often as the Touchwiz roms - at least once per day instead of every other day. So she's stuck with a Touchwiz rom, and also has the wakelock detector widget on her homescreen and has to reboot every other day. My advice is to give up - if you are getting this wakelock, there is no solution, so don't think you are going to fix it.
