I have attempted a few times to encrypt my stock verizon G2. Every time I have tried it goes to the white android screen then goes blank. After about a minute the phone reboots and the phone is NOT encrypted. I have the phone at 100% charged and plugged in every time I have tried this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I think my wing is beyond saving at this point but I wanted to check here and see if anyone had any suggestions. 100% of the time that I send a text and slide the face closed right after I do that the phone will shut itself off. If I recieve a text or a phone call about 15-20% of the time the phone will just lock up but not reboot. It is totally hit or miss when I reboot it, some times it'll boot back up then freeze, some times it'll boot up and work for a while til it reboots again, some times it'll get stuck in a boot loop. Every once in a while when I boot, the screen will go all fuzzy, almost like a computer with a bad video card. Now I have flashed the rom back to factory, I have done a hard reset, and none of this has fixed it yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Before you give up. Try something first. Does the Wing have this behavior if it is plugged in to its charger. If it behaves well when plugged in, then most likely you have a bad battery.
cant believe i didn't think of that already. plugged it in and everything has been fine for a couple hours now. I just ordered a new batter for like 12$, good lookin out, thanks.
I've been on Passion since it dropped with no problem, but it shut off today and wouldn't stay on like a dead battery. I charged and the problem persisted so I odined to stock, flashed bionix but it still does the same thing. It usually doesn't get past the vibrant screen but will stay on for sometimes a couple of minutes at most. Any ideas?
Factory Reset, format sdcard, and reflash your Rom of Choice

The first time I odined it stayed on long enough to set the phone up, the second time I odined I tried the factory reset afterwards, also did not work. Out of a dozen times of
powering up, it will only make it past the vibrant screen once, then it shuts off with no vibration. After it turns on the first time after Odin, it won't turn back on until I Odin again. It won't go into recovery by 3 button, but the power menu works on the occasion it stays on long enough. It even powered down while in recovery. It stays on indefinitely in download mode and goes right into download mode
Sounds like hardware. Can a battery be so bad it kills phone even on external power? I would look at battery contacts and the battery itself. They are pretty cheap on ebay.
Pretty sure it is an internal issue, it looks like an exhibit for me until May upgrade. Tried everything I know to do and it won't pass odin now, fails on factory rfs
If it is constantly powering down even while charging, it sounds like hardware. You might send it to the Unbrickable Mod guy.
for the past two years im using note4 n910g 32gb. with out facing any problem and it was also rooted. In the past week suddenly the phone got stuck and went off. i tried to power on it but nothing happened, so, i removed the battery and tried again, power came back but when to odin mode saying " could not do normal boot ". i tried several times and same thing happened. i removed the battery again and kept it for several minutes then tried again but only the black screen appeared. after several tries phone opened but few seconds later it got stuck again. so i reinstall firmware after that it was good for 2-3 hrs. so i installed a higher version but same thing happened again. same thing happens allover again. so i unrooted it but its the same. phone got so slow it wont open an app and get stuck and turn off. i tried to restart the phone but after restart it wont turn on. so help me to get my phone back. now it keeps showing odin mode sometime, black screen and sometimes startup to phone logo stuck for hrs. have to remove the battery for several time otherwise it wont power up. please help me.
TLDR: are there any diagnostics I can do to verify that my battery needs to be replaced?
A few days ago, I turned on my phone to check the time and a half-second later it suddenly and instantly shutdown. I was not able to restart it at all. When I got home and plugged it in, it began a continuous boot loop, with only the motorola splash screen displaying, then nothing for a few seconds, then back to the splash screen over and over.
Fortunately, I was able to get to the"AP Fastboot Flash Mode" menu. I couldn't do anything from there on the phone itself though; every option just went into the boot loop again. I was able to get a fastboot connection with my PC and so reflashed the phone successfully.
After reflashing, it went into the boot loop again. I began looking for more solutions online and wasn't paying attention, but sometime in the next 5-10 minutes it made it to the login screen! I re-set up my phone and all seemed to be working fine!
Until the next day. I tapped an app and instead of opening, the phone immediately shutdown and went dead again. Took it home, plugged in, and it went into the boot loop again.
Anyway, I've read a few threads on here and elsewhere that the culprit may be the battery. I would like to have more than just a hunch before I shell out the money and time to replace the battery -- is there any way I can verify that the battery is indeed the problem? I didn't seem to be having any battery problems before - charging and usage seemed fine. I did drop the phone rather hard a few weeks ago, but didn't seem to effect anything (short term at least).
Also, could using a non-Droid Turbo 2 charger affect battery life? I actually got the phone used and didn't get the official charger with it, so I've been using just a random leftover one for ~6 months.
TIA!

Try the apps such as Ampere which shows battery info.
I don't think so Non-Turbo charger can lead to affect the battery life but using a cheap charger does.
My phone was acting normal until now. Today after completely draining the battery I went to plug it in at home. The usual battery charging picture appeared and I thought nothing of it. Then when I tried loading the phone, it loaded as normal till it got to the lock screen, where it showed the battery at 0%. If you leave the phone for a while, it goes back to booting and does the Android Animation for a long time before going back to that lock screen, showing 0% and repeating itself. If you try and login, by the time you get in, it will go back to the booting Android Animation.
I can't seam to get beyond this point. I tried turning off the phone completely, then turning it back on. I tried clearing the cache. Nothing. I am stock standard, not unlocked bootloader. I am on Android 8.1.0 Security Patch January 2018.
Any help would be appreciated.
Update:
Just letting you know it is.. 'fixed'. After unplugging the phone and letting it bootloop few times, it finally registered a battery level that wasn't 0%. It was 96% and as such ran like normal again. That being said, I am worried about this happening again, so I hardly think this is fixed, but just leaving this here for anyone else that comes across this problem. Also would love to hear any suggestions to possible fixes. Incase this was related to the other bootloop issues that cropped up last year, I have set my phone for OEM unlocking.
Save yourself the trouble and just unlock your bootloader now.
