Hi everyone,
Loving my lg g5. Issue is ive only owned it a few days and it just went absolutely crazy after i was setting up some apps. Went into a sort of bootloop. It kept rebooting, then id have 30 sec to 1 min of using it, itd freeze, then reset again, all the while being very warm. It was so weird, happened about 10 times before i factory reset. And so far so good.
But should i be worried? Im still within my 14 days from o2 so could get a replacement. Or do i look at it as a one off? Anyone else had this?
Many thanks.
There hasn't been any reports about bootloop for the G5, I wouldn't worry that much since after factory reset is working because that indicates that it might be a software problem that got fixed with the reset.
If you want to play it safe you can return it and get a new unit, if they accept it since they will see that the phone now is working just fine.
As far as I have seen there are couple of bootloop issues. Hard decision. I'd still take it and if it happens again immediately send it in for repair and I wouldn't bother trying to fix it by myself

Recent newcomer to rezound. 1 month in n bloatfree.
Scenerio-phone bootlooped followed by oh [email protected], Wtf, etc....occurred after I drained the battery and recharged the phone. Thankfully through the miracle of Google and issue being old, I found the solution to be the phone automatically resetting to wcdma? Or something to that effect. I simply changed it back to LTE and bootloop solved.
My question is...should I exchange my rez for a new refurb one or just keep it....I was wondering if it was a hardware issue or software and that I should just expect it to happen?
I am a bit disappointed that this issue has been around since November and my recently new unit wasn't fixed.
I'm on my 3rd rezound for the same problem. My issue is that nothing resolved except sim card pull AND factory reset. I hadn't turned off my phone in over a month because I was afraid of it happening again. I had to pull the battery for some reason, and low and behold, a bootloop. I finally got it up again after a factory reset. I will be calling verizon for a replacement.
I would call if I were you as well.
Thats my 2 cents
It's a known, and fixed, bug. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394659
I am also on third rezound and my past two had bootloop problems the first one was caused by the network bootloop problem (wcdma setting) and it was annoying having to deal with it every few days. The second one I believe was a hardware failure of some kind it would just shut off at random times and eventually became unusable. I'm on number three now for about a month and have installed both the ICS leaks and haven't had a single reset or bootloop problem...
I say return it til they get it right!

LG-P760 stock Android 4.1.2
Only basic apps, FB, gmail etc.
1. Factory/hard reset
2. Works around 3-4 days perfectly, then starts to crash.
By crash I mean black screen, nothing helps, only battery pull.
3. After first crash, starts crashing more frequently. Happens only in standby.
Worst was today: If I start phone, log in, then it wont crash before I put it in standby. First time in standby, within 30 second, it had crashed.
twice crashed when someone tried to call me. Vibrated once, then crashed.
I would like to avoid replacing my phone.
Any ideas how to find the source of this problem? Any recommendations?

I had the same problem with Vietnam Rom and it was the baseband. I changed to the baseband from ICS from a Rom of my country so I have Vietnam Rom+Original ICS baseband and everything works well.
Thanks.
Although, I understand it mostly is problem when you have unlocked bootloader.
I am running stock everything.
And they have problem with rebooting phone, mine crashes and freezes.
Weird is that it starts around third day of normal use.
I think I have to take on a quest with a warranty. Does anyone know, can I contact LG straight without the provider, where I bought the phone?

I haven't unlocked it. The problem was the same: SOD sleep of death, when the screen goes off you can't do anything but pull the battery.
But if you can use the warranty use it. You should find the warranty info in the box to know where send it in your city.

Thanks. I will search into it. Sleep of death is new expression for me.
I only have phone, it came from relatives who threw away receipt + box.
Luckily I managed to get new receipt from provider yesterday (I dont think they usually give out receipts twice), so now I can use local warranty.
Thanks everyone for replying. I will post update when I have final solution.
Since you are stock you might want to consider flashing the kdz to see if that helps. Good luck!

I'm having the exact same issue with mine. I've heard everything from "try a different SD card" to "factory reset," and nothing seems to permanently fix the issue. What I've found kind of sort of works is just reboot it a whole bunch until it finally comes up and doesn't do it any more. From there, I'm good to go until the battery runs out or I need to reboot it because all the bloatware is causing it to glitch. This usually means that I have to reboot my device 10+ times in a row every few days. Hopefully, you found a more viable fix than this.

Hi
I managed to kind of solve this issue. Because I am not sure how, I haven't closed thread yet.
Anyway, I warranted device, they re-installed soft. Came back, same thing. After around weeks use, SOD. Factory reset. After that, things went interesting.
I tried not to leave it idle. Always had something running. I also had noticed by the time it never occurred when it was plugged in or music was playing.
One day it did it again, but I was in a hurry and just disregarded it. I did something(I was busy, maybe just plugged it in automatically?) and it came back up. It took like 10 sec for screen to start, but it did just wake up. And it haven't had crash ever since. I have no idea is this solution or is this just some coincidence and I am not keen to factory reset again, to see will it reoccur. It's my only phone
TLDR: Managed to get out of sleep of death, haven't reoccurred since.
So I recently got my old bricked evolte replaced by Sprint. The one I was given worked fine the entire time the device was powered on. However, once turned off and back on, its screen would not work. It stayed like this for hours, until I finally started playing with it and realized it would come back on after playing with it for a little bit. I also found out that with this error the home screen pops up for a second when powering on your device, and that's exactly what I had. I read up on the error and found out it was a software error, and to reset to factory settings. So, this fixed it, I thought.
So now, after it is apparently fixed, it still does this to some extent. It will do this if the phone has been powered on for a while, and the screen won't stay off for more than like 2 or 3 minutes. Also the home screen doesn't pop up any more like it used to with the other error.
So what should I do? I was thinking of going to Sprint, but my problem is hardly reproducible. It only happens when it's been powered on for a long time, and won't do it twice in a quick succession. I feel that even if I could show them the problem, they might think they've fixed it when they haven't because it won't do it twice. I would like to root my device, but I'm afraid they're going to say that I'm the cause of the problem if I do that. If it's just a software problem though, maybe flashing a custom rom would fix the problem.
What do you guys think? What do you think is the best course of action? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Never mind, I didn't know Sprint would order you a new phone if it was a minor problem like that. I thought they would only repair yours. So feel free to close this thread.
I've had my honor 10 for over a year now,never experienced any issues,not even after updating to emui 10,however recently ive noticed the device restarting itself while not even in use,and these days its starting to sometimes freeze and reboot. Has anyone experienced anything like this, i am considering to do a factory reset however first id like to hear if anyone has any other ideas what could be the cause.
I'm experiencing exactly the same. I had no problem in two years but for the past two days I think my honor 10 froze and rebooted maybe 5/6 times... It's completely random, three times when I had the phone in hand, the other during night or non using period.
I'm also on emui 10 since it was available : currently on 10.0.0.177(C432E3R1P4patch01). @Anubiz_DK did you find any clues ?

My problem was the same, factory reseting it worked.
Started having same problem myself two days ago. I really don't want to do the factory reset, but it seems like it is the only way ?
Update, after the factory reset everything was good for a month, yesterday the issue came back, no apparent reason why
I had a similar problem, but after a couple of days it went away by itself.
Im also seeing visual bugs before some of the reboots, like colorful squares and such
I wiped cache partition yesterday and so far so good. Before wipe it was restarting 5-10 times a day.
Did the same today and it seems to help
Also i how much free ram do you have without an open app, seems to be conected to the issue, both time i had reboots it was around 800mb and 1.12gb,after wiping the catches ive stayed around 1.8-2.0 gbs
About 2 days after wipe of cache partition the reboots started again. No apparent reason why. Sometimes it happens when in use, sometimes it happens when not it use. Some times there are plenty of apps in background, sometimes 1 or 2. Sometimes it reboots 3 times in a few minutes, sometimes it goes 1-2 days without reboot. Heavy use and multitasking doesn't seem to trigger the reboot. Few times it even rebooted while booting and once it booted to safe mode.
Anyone tried checking if it could be a hardware issue, and are you all on emui 10
Im on EMUI 10. I can't think of any HW issue. Maybe RAM related?
The reboots started to intensify for last 4 days. I get about 5-15 daily at various situations. Formatting cache partition doesn't help anymore, i got one reboot about 5 minutes after wiping cache partition.
I just got August security update along with system update 10.0.0.180 (C432E5R1P4). Will report later if it helped with the reboots.
Well I got one reboot yesterday and one today. So no help here..
I have a new theory after traveling last night on a train, for a while there were no reboots, but as i was in a hell hot train last night the phone could not stop rebooting, sooo im imaginine its possible overheating issue

Hi! It's unlikely, IMHO, since my phone reboots too, but it's of ~room temperature, no signs of overheating. Maybe, it's thermal compound bug/lack, but unlikely.
At 4PDA, I've counted around 10 people having the same reboot issue. I've asked some of them here, but we don't know the reason for sure. 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=904618&view=findpost&p=101416402
So, still guessing. One of them said that After downgrading to android 9.1 and resetting , her phone runs just fine. That trick does not work for me...
Important note : for the cases I've seen, it has started ~within 2 months (around Sept 2020)

I can confirm that. And I think it is quite strange. Could it be something with NPU unit?
BTW, I have early unit. I bought it right when the phone was available. In 5/18.
It had stoped. and it started again, honestly i have no idea at this point, there is no good reason for all this, im done with this at this point
I'm angry. I have sent my phone to RMA, the last day of warranty, 31st May 2020. The USB-C connector wasn't able to transfer data and it couldn't fast charge.
They actually accepted it and changed everything except motherboard. So 3 weeks later in June I got basically new phone back, with new battery, display, back cover... And because I wiped it before sending it to RMA, I did clean install and rightaway also a clean install of Android 10. Everything was working perfectly, battery life was great..
And then the damn reboots started, late September or early October. It pisses me of, since the phone has been recently refurbished in official service centre within the warranty. I was expecting to be able to use it quite comfortably for at least another year since the service. Possible up to 2 years...
Cheers everyone,
have been using my Asus ROG Phone 6 (12GB/256GB version) for 2 weeks now and have several issues.
The main issue is that the phone will freeze, especially when using the camera app, then crash and sometimes won't reboot and is stuck in a boot loop.
Happened to me twice already so had to set it up twice now, which takes quite some time until everything is set up again.
Does anyone know if there is already a solution for this? Does anyone else had this problem already?
Baseband-Version is: M2.13.33.16-Dallas_000370
Kernel-Version: 5.10.101-android12-9-00001
Build Number: SKQ1.220406.001.WW_Phone-32.2810.2207.134-0 release keys
Thanks everyone!
Scrutinize your 3rd party apps... especially power management or 3rd party launchers if any.
Likely an app with cam permissions otherwise.
Possible firmware corruption or a hardware failure.
Yesterday, when it happened, I tried and had no other apps installed other than the ones from the factory. Launcher has been stock all the time.
Will investigate further, thanks for your hints! Will contact Asus for an update.
Sent it back. That's not normal...
Yeah, opened up a ticket already, waiting for them to get back to me though.
I thought there was maybe an easy fix for this or that it is a known issue with a fix around though.
Hi GrossmeisterB, i am new here, my Rog Phone 6 keep boot loop as well, when i power on after half way charging for zero %. may i know, do you flash rom or just factory reset? i tried factory reset, but problem still not solved
Hi there, first, short update on my phone: sent it back to the shop and got a new one that is now working flawlessly. So it seems the camera issue was due to a hardware error.
I just did factory resets to not void the warranty.
It seems like you need to return yours, too...
