I have two V60s on A11 and noticed for the past two nights one of them will reboot while charging. Only way I notice is because I have to use my PIN in morning to login in instead of fingerprint and one app indicates a restart. This is a replacement V60 that I have had for two days.
Any thoughts?
Are you sure that it's a reboot? I noticed that if I leave my phone idle for a couple of hours (not sure how many, maybe 4 or more?), some kind of security kicks in requiring that I enter my pattern instead of using the fingerprint reader. Pretty sure this has happened both on Android 10 and Android 11. I don't commonly leave my phone idle for 4+ hours during the day, but it has happened just enough for me to notice it. And it definitely wasn't a case of the phone just randomly rebooting itself on me in the middle of the day. THAT, I would have noticed.
Positive it is a reboot. I actually saw it happen this morning. Phone will just shut off and T-Mobile reboot splash screen comes on. I think it is not related to fingerprint reader bug as I have disabled the fingerprint reader on my lock screen/AOD.
Actually been noticing it happens now even when the phone is not charging. I wish there was a way to see which app is causing the problem or get some kind of log to know what is going on.
Hmmm, other than trying to isolate which app is causing the problem, I'd probably suggest a factory reset.
I actually removed all apps and left with factory defaults and it still rebooted during a charge. I have sent the phone back and awaiting a replacement. (This one was the 2nd year promise replacement for a dying G8)
I had to ship the phone back and get a replacement. Everything I tried did not work to stop reboot while charging.
My LG started to freeze, then reboot several times a day, while in use as well as overnight. Sometimes boot loops directly after the logo, so not OS or app related, also without SIM or SD. I had the battery changed (still in warranty), but that behavior continued. So I got a replacement phone yesterday, since it was obviously a hardware issue (I guess it is a RAM failure).

Ive been lurking around this site since the shadow was the new thing on the block, and ive never had a problem i couldnt figure out by just searching the forums... well, now i do...lol
I have a 17 day old g2, completely undamaged, unscratched. for some reason, intermittently, and with no apparent cause, it will shut off completely. it does not go through the shut down process, give any warning, or restart on its own, it just turns off like you pulled the battery out. (ive checked batt. voltage and amperage with a multimeter and ensured that the battery isnt loose in any way. also, it will shut off exactly the same way while charging which leads me to believe that it cant be a power problem.)
Also, though im not sure its related, sometimes the touch sensitivity in the screen will shut off (not the screen itself, still displays beautifully). Only way to restore touch functionality is to restart device manually.
Ive tried a master reset, and called T-Mobile tech support (which was useless).
Hopefully someone will have some idea whats going on here because i sure dont
Where did you get the device from, T-Mobile?
Have you flashed a new Recovery to the phone or hacked it in any other way?
G2 Randomly shuts down
I've only had mine for a week and its doing the same thing...no hacks, tampering etc.
Have you got the OTA update ? If not then you should find it online and update your phone. HTC has fixed the issue of random reboots for the phone
Guys, need your help. I've had this phone since launch day and am way beyond my 30-day return/exchange policy. Completely stock w/ 3 downloaded programs (bank apps) and all updates applied. Here are my problems:
1. Random rebooting or dead phone. This doesn't happen often, but I think I've narrowed it down to the GPS navigation. Sometimes after using the GPS I've witnessed the phone continually reboot every 15 minutes or so. Just laying on the table and it'll spontaneously reboot. The only way to stop it is to pull the battery. Earlier today I used the GPS for a quick trip, ended the program, then turned the phone off. About 1hr later, I tried turning the phone back on... but couldn't power on or anything. The only fix was to pull the battery.
2. The damn GPS program takes SEVERAL MINUTES to lock on. I have to pull the car over or just wait until it locks on. I thought one of the updates was supposed to fix this. WTF?
I've tried factory reset w/ no apps installed. Even took it to the Sprint store but the rep said he couldn't do anything for me since I'm beyond 30 days besides resetting the phone.
I'm really frustrated since I upgraded my plan and renewed for 2 more YEARS.... Any suggestions?
Check out the thread on battery tips. I also posted a thread about how my phone would randomly reboot or shutdown. The problem was the battery was not making full contact all the time, so I put a piece of rubber band on one side of the battery to make a more snug fit and haven't had a random reboot since.
My S3 is about 10 months old, and over the last week I've experienced a problem where the screen will not wake up. The first time I thought the phone may have shut down, but then I noticed that in some cases the notification light was flashing, but pressing the home or on button didn't do anything. I tried calling it, and it appeared to ring (from the phone I was calling) but there was no tone and the screen remained off (with no missed call recorded). Only solution is to remove/replace battery and start it.
Tried to search online for a solution but all I could find is that either it's dying, or some app is causing this, with one entry mentioning chrome. Uninstalled chrome and the problem has not reappeared but it was quite random before, first happening once and then again after several days, and yesterday several times in one day, so I need more time to see if chrome was the culprit (I'm not too convinced otherwise there would be more mention of this).
If anyone has any idea please let me know. Phone in unlocked from purchase, not rooted, stock, fully updated.
This comes at a time when I want to buy a dual-sim android phone as I have 2 numbers for work/travel purposes. Annoyingly none of the top manufacturers produce high performance phones that are also dual sim. Closest I found is the Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos, which seems not bad bit lower spec than the S3 and a bit larger (S3 about as large as I'm prepared to go). Again if anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it.
just to add, I did a factory reset a short while ago as the phone felt a bit laggy compared to earlier use, and after reset was behaving better until this problem appeared
My S3 has behaved similarly 4-5 times since summer. Only removing battery helps. Few days ago it happened two times in row. Screen is off, no way to make it wake up. Removed battery, reboot. When screen went off again, same story again. Had to remove battery again. And in the night phone was making complete restart with PIN asking (usually it makes only android starting again without asking PIN code for SIM). I woke because of that Samsung starting sound. Next day phone just ate battery while being "idle". Basically from 100%-5% within workday just lying on the desk. After several reboots and charging to full battery it behaves as usual, -0,5% per hour.

Thanks, will see if the problem goes away for me also. I normally charge it fully quite often, since I usually keep it on charge overnight, and I have a second battery with a battery charger so I often swap batteries to put a fresh one in. I rely on my phone a lot for work so not sure I can afford to wait much longer, I think I'll buy the Grand and just put up with the lower specs...
Hey guys,
Last night I plugged in my LGOG right before I went to sleep. About seven hours later I woke up, woke it up to check the time, then fell back to sleep. When I woke up again a few hours later, my phone was completely dead. No lights go on when charging, nor does it go into the charging mode that happens when the phone is off but charging. The power button does nothing at all. Connecting it to a computer does nothing. I have tried two different wall chargers and a USB plug, and have tried different outlets. The phone is rooted and unlocked. I haven't put any new apps or anything on the phone recently, however I have had a slight overheating issue lately. I don't think that that's what caused the issue though, as when I woke up for the first time and woke it up, the phone was not noticeably hot, and seemed to work fine. Any ideas or suggestions?
Edit: As suddenly as it stopped working, it has started working again, about two hours later. The notification sound buzzed, my phone turned on, and usual on start things happened. However I'm still extremely worried about it. Now that it's on, I assume there's more I can do to figure out the issue- suggestions?
These phones are terribly buggy when charging/when they die, IMO. Worst Android device I've ever had in that respect.
Probably just a fluke, tbh.
Unfortunately it happened again- sent a message, put my phone away, when I tried to turn it on again nothing happened and it stopped working for five minutes.
Apologies for not mentioning this before, but I am using carbonrom, not stock. I've used it for several months with no issues, and have used the latest build for a week or two now without this issue.

Reboot into recovery and wipe cache+dalvik
Maybe the rom needs a little cleaning

Tried wiping cache and dalvik, but didn't seem to solve the issue. Then my phone started having an issue it's had once before- it turns on for a few seconds, then the screen goes grey for about a minute, then returns to being on. After returning to being on, it acts like it's just started up- ie, there's superuser grant notifications, cpu set notifications, and all sorts of other stuff I usually see on boot. It essentially rendered my phone unusable, so I restored an earlier backup. This seems to have resolved it for now, I may have to wait before updating carbon again.

Either you have a bad phone (possible, LG seems to have some QC issues based on some of the crazy reports Ive heard fm other people on this forum [Mine's fine]), or it's all the startup **** that you have going.
Do you usually let it discharge to below 5%?
that's a stupid idea with any device, and seems to be especially damaging to our LGOG.

Have mine 2months been careful not to let the battery shut down on its own but thirds past Monday my car charger weren't bad and the phone shut down. Would not except a charge after that. Went to att and they sent me to a service center. They could not charge it either. They replaced it, now making sure my external battery backup its always charged. Do not want to do that again.

That sounds like that could actually be the issue. On the previous iteration of carbon I almost never allowed it to go below about 10%. However the new update seemed to be harsher on battery life and it slipped into the 1% range several times...
same thing happened to me running root box with no tweaks or anything. I woke up and the phone was off, been that way for two days now. it wasn't on the charger so its definitely possible that it died. I actually found this thread because I could've sworn there was a report of someone who had to do a battery pull. I'm thinking that's my only option now.
My HOX+ is less than two years old. My phone used to get incredibly hot for the past 6 months. So, I uninstalled most apps and disabled many; keeping only the necessary one enabled. For the past two weeks my phone would automatically get switched off when I am using Snapchat. I thought of factory resetting it but was heavily occupied by my studies. Yesterday my phone finally got switched off and refused to get switched on. It only switched on when I put it on charge (It was already charged, so it wasn't like battery had drained out). I switched it on and disabled almost all but half a dozen apps. But again after few minutes it got switched off.
Whenever I am trying to switch it on, it just boots till HTC screen not even the HTC One screen and gets switched off. Sometimes it boots properly showing the homescreen. I backed up all my data and went for a soft reset. It did take place after few attempts. But the problem persisted so I went for a hard reset using the boot menu. But the moment I select FACTORY RESET it just shows the HTC screen with the slider (yellow) on the top right corner filling up and then again shuts down.
Please help. I have never rooted my phone or used any apk outside Google Play store.
Are you sure that your battery isn't going empty? After 2 years this may happen to a battery (rarely, but can).
