Wondering if anyone else is having a problem with the g5 rebooting? I got a new phone and it lasted about a week and it started rebooting too.

The first unit I got in August was in sad shape; it rebooted many times just updating apps, then it glitched out several more times trying to use Bluetooth in the car. Then it finally died trying to run the GPS.
The second unit does better, but I do notice that if I run the battery too far down (less than 5%), the phone will overheat and reboot if I try to use it at that low battery level. It rebooted tonight while some apps were auto-updating at a low battery level; the phone was also noticeably warm.
I really don't know how else to replicate the problem except to run the battery to near-death. At that point it seems almost anything will trigger the overheat + reboot sequence.

Phone was on full charge, just woke it up and hit a widget and it froze. I wasn't updating anything I haven't had any other problems so far
This just started happening to me today. The sad thing is this G5 replaced a G4 about this same time last year when I had reboot issues. The lesson here is that LG phones will last about a year and then just constantly start rebooting on you.

It all depends. I have had a G2 forever, and the G Flex 2 since it came out, both work great. Actually starting to think my Flex 2 is smoother, but ATT left it for dead with no updates since last year. So, while a few may have troubles, not all do.
My reboot issues seem to be getting worse... Twice now within the past month I've had the G5 go totally berserk, reboot looping like crazy for hours on end; then all of a sudden it stops looping and carries on like it never happened. It's always triggered by letting the battery run down to near 10-20%.
I'm starting to suspect this is a bad battery and considering getting a replacement. (Maybe it's also just a flaw in the modular design; at least this battery doesn't explode, just drives the hardware bonkers.)

My G5 used to reboot often when using the Chrome app. I cleared the cache and installed Chrome Beta and made it the default browser app. That seemed to fix the reboot issue. My G5 has been very stable for months and doesn't randomly reboot. The Smart Doctor app does remind me to reboot to improve performance. Maybe deleting suspect apps and corrupted cache files could fix your reboot issues.
Is this an issue with rooted or unrooted phones...

I don't know what the heck is going on with my HTC HD2, but the reboots are getting quite annoying.
Furthermore i noticed it happens when i utilize the cpu heavily.
Mostly with streaming video or playing games.
Have done multiple hard resets, rom updates and even custom roms but nothing seems to work.
Sometimes my phone even reboots(soft resets) after watching 5 whole seconds of youtube
So even directly after a hard reset the problem persists.
I'm totally confused right now(because i have tried everything i could do to fix this problem).
I am thinking could it be the battery not giving enough juice for the task? overheating ? or just faulty hardware?
what do you guys think?
because i noticed that the problem is happening more frequently over time.
Edit: it rebooted even in idle a moment ago (1th time) ???
Similar issue with youtube freeze and reset
I can validate your frustration. I am having problems with my HD2 freezing up as well and doing a soft reset on it's own. So the YouTube app opens up the HTC player and then it will play a few seconds and then freeze up. I also opened an MP4 movie file and view it with the HTC player and that also froze it. Last but not least, I have TomTom and that froze it after 15 minutes last night.
I have seen some postings that Tmobile and HTC will be releasing a new rom to fix some memory leaking issues so perhaps that might be it.
It started happening about a week ago for me. Please post any solutions you might find.
I am on:
OS v.5.2.21889
Mania v.2.5.20121412.1
ROM v.2.10.531.1 WWE
Radio v. 2.08.50.08.2
I have done some trail and error, played around with coreplayer and i noticed that when i set the video quality to FLV medium quality in the buildin youtube app in coreplayer i won't reboot that quick anymore, but after a couple of seconds it will eventually still reboot. If i set quality to high quality/high bandwidth i will reboot much faster (so this let's me think about some kind of memory leak/buffer overflow).
Furthermore luckly i don't have any problems with playing mp4 videos in coreplayer, i have tested this especially because of the youtube reboots, and it will keep playing for 1,5 hour without any problems, so maybe you could try coreplayer and see if that's a solution for your mp4 problem ?
But eventually it would be nice if these problems where sorted out so that the device will work like it is supossed to be
Already tried a TASK29 and a flashing a stock ROM from your SD card?
Ye, have tried task 29 (between each roms, i do use task to make sure that the phone is empty.) and when i went back to my 1.72 stock rom i did flash it from SD, but still no luck.
this happened to me today as i was logging onto the net. it did a full master reset.
Same thing happened to me after the unit froze. I pulled the battery, put it back in an it went into this continuous loop of starting up, going through the first couple of screens and then rebooting. What I eventually found to be the problem was that I had inadvertently bent one of the battery pins when I put the battery back in, not much but just enough to where it wasn't making contact. After I carefully straightened it out the issue was gone and it fired up as usual. I love simple fixes, of course this was after I task 29'd and reflashed which didnt correct the problem.

hmm i only got the problem while i'm watching streaming video through 3g and on usb > active sync > pc data connection / some (cpu intensive) games
with wifi no problems at all, it plays youtube for more then a hour without a reboot, and i tested it multiple times to make sure), and booting is just fine without a single hickup

Hey, thank you @thompsd. This was driving me crazy on my phone. I finally took it back to a TMobile store for replacement and they put me on the phone with support before they would issue a replacement. Of course I was bewildered when they had me take out the battery and put it back in (which I had done a zillion times) and the phone suddenly worked. The person on the phone told me that it was fixed because I had to keep the battery out for at least 90 seconds. This made absolutely no sense, but it was hard to argue with success. I walked out of the store with my head hung low in shame.
Tonight, sitting in an airport lounge waiting for a flight, I noticed that my phone was hung so I pulled the battery to reset it. When I put the battery back in and started it, the phone went into the reboot loop -- displaying the boot screen for a couple of seconds and then shutting down and rebooting. I pulled the battery for 90 seconds. 120 seconds, 5 minutes. No joy. Realizing that this solution made absolutely no sense in the first place, I decided to search around again.
I found your reply in this thread and looked at my battery contacts. One of them was bent. I straightened it out, put the battery back in and the phone booted right up. Now I realize that when I was on the phone with TMobile, I must have put the battery back in that one time in such a way that inadvertently straightened the pin.
Hi all,
I have (maybe) the same problem with my HD2 i.e. when it is "doing something", well not idle, it sometimes restarts itself and then usually will not get out of the cycle of crash/reboot untill I remove the battery and wait for a few minutes before starting it again.
This is always more frequent if I am using a serious application such as sat nav. It also has only happened when the unit is connected to power, either on my desk or in the car (different power sources), but disconnecting it from the power after the cycle has started doesn't help.
I have assumed from the symptoms that it is caused by overheating and so leaving it switched off for a period allows it to cool.
I have got a return packet from Vodafone to send it for repair but I am loath to do this as it is likely to take 10 days and I suspect I might either get a recon unit back or "no fault found".
Does anyone think this could be battery related? If so I would buy a 2nd battery and test it.
Cheers, Gordon
I can confirm having the same problem.
Using BattClock (which shows a.o. the battery temperature) I was able to establish that the resets and reset loops happen once the battery temperature exceeds 31-32°C.
Contacted HTC support and received reply that the phone qualifies for repair.
PS. My wife just suggested providing me with a cooler bag, so I can enjoy reset-free phone during summer heatwave...
I had similar behavior, but it was due to the new ROM release (4/28/10). I loaded the official T-Mobile release date ROM (2/19/10) and the problem went away.
L.B.
Yesterday my battery charge got very low and shut the phone down. When I turned the phone back on without charging it kept rebooting time after time. I tried plugging the charger in but that didn't help. I took out the battery and put it back in and that still didn't help. I finally caught it when it was rebooting and pressed volume down and got the phone in bootloader to at least stop the constant rebooting. I left the phone on the charger and after about 1/2 hour I pulled the battery and put it back in and the phone was fine.
I am not wanting this to happen again. Maybe I will go back to an older ROM.
if i have some luck i will receive my phone tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
i will let you know what has been repaired and if this solved the reboot problem.
today i received my phone back from the repair center.
The repair letter says that the display has being changed because it was not functioning anymore? (but when i sent the phone in the display was working like it should).
And the youtube problem is still there
Im having the same problem! i figure it was the battery overheating...or the rom or even probably a not compatible radio.....try to change all of these and is still restarting when ever it tries to connect to any data or internet usage. Ex. youtube, downloading of files from the internet, Remote Desktop even Microsoft My Phone still restarts.
even when i used to make/receive phone calls it would restart as soon as i picked it up to talk. but for this i had a solution witch as of now is working fine with out a problem.
if anybody else has this problem with the Receiving/making calls this should work.
1. Go to: Start/Settings/Connections
2. is the "TASK" tab choose "Manage Existing Connections"
3. In the "Modem Tab" has for options to choose from, normally is on "Auto", this was the problem. you would want to get it OFF AUTO.
4. Try all the other " voice Stream options Shown" and see witch one works for you without giving problems, and save. Im currently using "wap.voicestream.com." witch is the second option after Auto.
Well i hope this works for you guys if ur having similar problems, its actually work for me. GooD luck! hope this helps.

I will keep you informed
OK my Atrix just rebooted 2 times today. This is getting pretty annoying.
I saw few Threads on the forum about reboots already but couldn't find an answer weather or not replacing the phone fixed the issue for people who had it. And thought the pool will be useful to see what the current situation is. Should i replace mine or it is software related and all phones have same issue??
Some of the reboots are can be missed bu user as they happens when phone just idles the good way to check is to: do dial
*#*#4636#*#* and go to "battery Information" -> Time since boot:
If you see that this time is less then what you think it should be(you know when you last rebooted).
On the side note i saw few threads where people where complaining about the battery life, an it might be connected as those reboots do reset the battery timer.
What about an option for something like
Had random reboot issue, didn't do anything about it and haven't had another one
I vote for that one..
Was it completly random, or you where installing something/playing game/using app etc.
Also is it possible that you didn notice it? Mine rebooted atleast 3 times where i found out that it did only after checking service menue (battary information->Time since boot)
i have been using it for 2 weeks and not a single random reboot
Have had mine for a few days and have not seen or felt one random reboot...

It was completely random although I'm sure something was running in the background that made it reboot. I've kept a very close eye on the phone since I got it so this was the only time it happened.
I'll vote once i've had my phone longer than a day lol
Had it since feb 22, no reboots so far. I would change it under warranty.

i exchanged a phone due to a faulty usb port the other day, had it 2 weeks and it just stopped working. never had a random reboot.
got the replacement on sunday, and noticed today as i was putting it into the locker at the gym it rebooted. only time i've noticed.
I'll check some more this weekend, but I did have an issue while in the music player in car dock mode. Music would stop playing, the phone appeared to lock up, then it rebooted itself. Happened a couple times in this situation. I thought it might have been tasker (as that was the last thing I installed). I did a factory reset, loaded up pretty much the same stuff as previous, minus tasker. It did the same thing once. Hasn't done it again. Will know more later this week when I have time to force the issue, if it's going to occur again.
So, this wasn't really random, as it occurred during a specific activity (car dock, music player). Right now, too many variables to pin it down.
My reboots have only occurred during music playing...ive done numerous searches to find a fix to no availe...i'll give it til the end of the week, do a factory reset, see how it does and go from there...what the hell i'll keep it until the 20th and take it back if it still occurs
Interesting, vote break out almost evenly, as half of the voter have reboots and the other half doesn't. Also i thought a lot more people exchanged their phones but looks like most people (including me) with reboots are waiting on some kind of confirmation of what is causing the issue. Is it software or hardware???
Mine rebooted also today while I was using the music player and the last app that I installed was an app killer watchdog lite. this is the first time I've seen it but it might have rebooted by itself without me noticing it
The culprit might be the music player but I wanna make sure if it will happen again during music play
I forgot where I read this but apparently there's supposed to be a fix for this but they weren't sure why it's not being pushed out yet.
I got my Atrix on Friday night and had it reboot several times, before finally freezing, then crashing while running an app. I took it back to AT&T the next day and switched it out for a new one totally free. With the second I have been having no problems at all, so I think it is just a problem with certain, random, handsets rather than a problem for all of the phones.
Atrix random reboot
Have had my Atrix for one week. The first 24 hours it rebooted 2X, the second day it rebooted 6X. I have been reading these and many other posts. Uninstalled Advanced Task Killer and phone stayed alive for a day. Opened the back and double-checked the insertion of the SIM card and it's been up for 44 hours without a reboot. I will be near an AT&T store on Sunday. Think I'll try a new one. I love the phone otherwise.
still haven't experienced any reboots..
Audible's app (version 1.1 from the market) FC's like crazy and finally caused a reboot last night,the first one since buying 10 days ago. There is a beta version of the audible app that is much more stable than their piece o' in the market.
SIM Card
So... After complete insertion of the SIM card I'm up 66 hours now without a reboot. Others should check their SIM card and post if it helps.
I haven't had a single reboot until today; it rebooted twice on me. I've had the phone since Feb 22nd.
The only thing that's changed is that 2-3 days ago my 32GB SD card came in. I'll do what the above poster said (reinsert SD card) and see if that fixes it.
EDIT: Maybe it is due to heat? I've noticed that, since I got my car dock, anytime I remove my Atrix from the car dock (while in the car dock I use Slacker Radio, Navigation, and a car dock application) its always around 58-60C. I have a SetCPU profile where it underclocks after 60C, but still that is extremely hot.
Alright, so this phone is becoming extremely frustrating.
The very first day i got the rezound I had it for literally five hours right from the store and I figured i would restart it to freshen things up after messing around with setting up my home screens.
Upon my phone turning back on, it booted up to the lockscreen... froze... turned itself on and then restarted itself and it LOOPS... it does NOT get past this point it bootloops the process
So I pulled the battery a few times, then did a factory reset in hboot and the problem fixed itself, so I gave it the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe it was just a fluke so i reset everything back up... now three days later... I restarted the phone... upon turning it back on... SAME THING... BOOTLOOPING for no reason
I have never tried to temp root my phone or do anything whatsoever. This is a 100% legit phone but its becoming extremely annoying. Im returning this thing to VZW tonight and exchanging it for another one but im torn between exchanging it for a different rezound or just straight up returning it and waiting for the nexus december 8th to come out.
There have been ALOT of reported problems with this phone from my bootlooping... dead pixels... horrible battery life... etc
Dont reboot it anymore. There is an app in the market called fast reboot.when you need to freshen the phone just push the icon and it wiill get all the free memory in about 10-15 seconds.

im supose to be locked into a phone for the next 2 years that i cant reboot because it bootloops?
I have seen several people with boot-looping issues.
I'm not one of them and I don't think it is rampant with this phone. As for dead pixels and horrible battery life - those issues are even fewer and far between.
I wouldn't say there have been ALOT; probably a normal percentage of definite defective units mixed with people being unfamiliar with "how things work" on a phone like this.
..... my $.02
yeah im returning it at VZW tonight for a new unit... if the second one has any issues at all that have been described on this forum so sorry i gave them two chances... returning and waiting for nexus
You also gotta realize your hearing about a ton of issues with the phone, because only people with issues are posting about it. The other 90% that dont have issues arent posting.
Anytime a new phone comes out about 10% of them are duds with the same problems you are describing. When the nexus comes out their forum will be full of threads about problems with that phone. Read thru the android forums and no matter what the phone, you will see complaints about the phone. i have been reading them for years.

I had the phone for about 7 hours three have been fighting loops. My temporary solution is to disable LTE and put my standard size battery in the device ? I don't know why, but I have a hunch that my specific device may be verry sensitive to heat issues.
I called Verizon and they show the boot cycling a known issue and that it was submitted to HTC.
The phone does not seem overly hot to Me so my hunch could be wrong

Bootloops = Heat
In my experience, Bootloops are a result of heat. The phone heats up (or the radio heats up), the phone reboots on the thermal warning, but the bootup time is not nearly long enough to cool down a phone that hot, so once the OS (or kernel) loads to the point where it starts checking for thermals, it sees a heat issue, and reboots.
I have this on my DInc which I was hoping to replace with a Rezound because of these bootloops, but of course I am going to have sit and see if this subsides (or what the Nexus people say) because ...
... you are right, you do NOT want a phone for 2 years which bootloops when you use it for 15 minutes. It is hell.
What is causing all the heat on your phone ??

I asked and called Verizon again. I found someone with a little more info.
it seems that an above average amount of devices where sent out with a corrupted OS.
The corrupt Rom is having issues with its signal acquisition and causing issues.
its heating up from consistently trying to cycle thru signal acquisition etc etc.
I kinda believe they have nailed the issue- as we booted up the device with no back cover on,and bam!- a perfect phone that functions without the reboots ( Obviously no signal),but it works.
I have a replacement coming Tuesday.
Hmmm i think mine has something like that. BUT i dont do it so much.
Had the same issue with mine last night. Removed Sim disabled all network services and replaced Sim and it worked when I enabled networks again. Mine has been set to cdma only also. I think it might be an issue when authenticating with Verizon that somehow crashes the phone.

Let's hope that is the problem since I haven't had it and would hate to see it be a hardware problem. That is something that can be fixed with an update. I think phones are getting to thin for their own good. Cases problem don't help either.
For what it is worth, my phone is charging, streaming music, and I'm on the internet with auto brightness on. The temp is reading 100F. When I first got it, I was trying to kill the battery so I streamed Netflix over 4g and it got warm but never rebooted. Hope they figure this out for y'all.

I got stuck bootlooping related to the fb chat widget. As soon as it would load, sense would restart and after 10-20 the phone started rebooting.
Non stop. I got it to boot with battery cover off (no reception).
Cover on, it would restart as soon as the lock screen was up.
Battery pull, no help.
So I did a battery pull, guessed volume down +power and choose factory reset.
No fb chat widget and no issues so far

They may be able to do something in software, but it is really hardware. the radio struggling to get a signal is not a software issue.

Hi everybody,
i've owned my Lumia 920 for about two months now, and i am (used to be) in love with it. Great hardware, great software, all those issues other people had, with the freezes, the random reboots... i had none. my phone was perfect.
Then i got Portico delivered OTA to my phone last week, and i thought 'great, this is gonna make the phone even better'. i was especially looking forward to the 'keep wifi on when screen is locked' option. I updated my phone (took maybe 20 minutes?), and my brilliant phone was gone. What i'm stuck with since is a collection of all the problems i had been reading about:
random reboots
random freezes needing a soft reset to be usable again
the phone is constantly warm, sometimes really hot, even when i'm not using it
battery life is about half of what it used to be pre-Portico
data connection is constantly dropping, be it 2g, 3g, or lte. if have to switch flight mode on and off again to get a data connection every hour or so
i was playing a game the other day, while charging the phone (original charger and everything) when the phone suddenly died because of an empty battery. so, the phone was using more current than could be supplied by the charger. that never happened, even with the exact same game, before portico
Again, i had none of these issues before the update. Right now i regret having updated to the "bugfixing release" of WP8, because all that did is to introduce all the bugs it was supposed to fix.
Does anybody else experience the same behavior, or maybe have some ideas on what i could do to try and fix them? I didn't do a hard reset yet, i am hoping to fix my issues without wiping the phone.
Thanks in advance for any help or tips
I havent been having the reset problems etc, but I have noticed that since updating, I have had probably half as good battery life. It is really annoying me cos I was so happy that it would last for ages even under heavy use, now it will only make it through the day comfortably with minor use. Im doing a complete discharge, and then recharge and see how that goes. So glad im not having the other problems that people are having though. Actually also disappointed that the camera is still not very sharp. Video is great, stills are average. Why have such lame performance on such a (supposedly) good camera
I haven't had experienced these issues yet. It might be something wrong when update comes OTA.
Only my problem is crackles in the case. I can live with them for now...
I've also been having problems with Portico, I haven't had issues with reboots, but my battery life is terrible. It used to go 15-16 hours on a charge, now I can barely get 7 hours.
Also, weird problem I've been having, when the battery gets too low that the phone automatically shuts itself off...when I plug it in, it takes about an hour to turn back on. It's really worrying me, because I never had this problem before. If anyone else has noticed this, please let me know.
Is there any battery diagnostic for the phone?
Thanks!
Has anyone started or has had issues with the V10 becoming progressively non-responsive?
My wife and I both have the V10, mine being recently replaced due to what looked like memory corruption as icons started showing as grey blocks randomly even after a restore from my pc. Hers is starting to exhibit multiple of the same issues plus more even after a restore from pc:
Not powering on requiring battery pull
No longer accepting double tap to wake/sleep
Icons starting to become grey blocks
slowness to responses
Phone calls are not coming through at times
Verizon has replaced my phone but the fact that hers is starting to show the exact same issues has me wondering if there is a bigger issue to these phones. My new phone has started to show the issues of double tap not responding, there is not an app that is causing wakelock or draining battery. I don't have unusual apps loaded on either phones and have tried going a few days fully stock and it is still exhibiting the issues.
If there is, is there anyway to get Verizon to move us out of these phones if it continues as I'm not going to have a phone that is going to constantly have issues.
after they replace it 3 times you can generally negotiate a different model.
My family's two V10s are starting to show their age. Okay, my wife's crapped out last week so it is definitely aged. The phone got really hot, drained the battery, and kept rebooting. Then it got locked into an eternal bootloop. The only way I got it to boot was to put it in the freezer. I had connected a cable to it and was able to get most of the data off running the cable out of the freezer to a laptop. I still have some other stuff to recover. Hopefully the freezer trick works again.
But now my V10 is having radio issues. It switches between 4G, 3G, and 1x constantly. I'll be in a location that I know has a 4G signal and pull out my phone only to see 1x. The other day it wouldn't find the GPS signal if it was plugged in. Time to backup my data and see if Vz will replace it.
Sad thing is that I declined the insurance coverage. So once my 1 year warranty is up I'll have to buy a new phone. Easy come, easy go.
You can still add insurance to the lines it's never to late. When one customer service rep says no hang up and call again and it doesn't hurt to play stupid and nice. For some reason they do what you ask if they feel smarter then you and I.

My v10 started running hotter than normal and my battery drain was more. I replaced the old battery with a new one and the problem seems to have gone away. In my case I think the battery was getting too hot and was making the phone run hot and unresponsive.
Kickin' it on my VS990
