random soft reboots VS995 - LG V20 Questions & Answers

my phone has been working flawlessly for the past 3 months until now. The phone gets a tad warmer than it used to and also now it randomly freezes then goes to the verizon sign for no reason. Anyone know why/ how to fix? It happens every day/every few days.

Can't Hear

Hi I am having an issue with my Evo where first couple of times the callers can't hear me. It usually goes away after 2 times but then if the phone sits around for about 40-60 minutes then it seems like the cycle starts over again.
I was using Fresh 3.3.0.1, but then I switched to CM 6.1 hoping that the issue would go away, but its still there. Anyone have something similar or know how I can solve this.
That happens to me about half the times I use the updated Voice Search app to call a number. No problems otherwise.
hmm..I wonder if I should get the phone unrooted and fixed by Sprint...its really annoying...

Anybody else getting random reboots?

So this started happening only 2 days after getting my G2. Basically my phone reboots randomly whenever I unlock the lock screen. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens often enough that it really bugs me and I'm considering factory reset, but I dont want to lose my info and have the reboots still continue

**Yes I am also getting random reboots when unlocking the screen. At first I thought it had to do with the lock screen type I used or the lock screen pattern but it is still happening now that I'm using a pin to unlock my phone. I am completely stock and got the phone the day it came out.
The reboot happened a couple times within a few minutes and seems very random upon unlocking the screen. If others are experiencing this I highly suggest posting here.
I came from the LG G2X and that phone had a similar issue involving random reboots but was definitely fixed by LG eventually. My Asus Transformer Prime had a random reboot issue as well and eventually fixed.

Got my G2 5 days ago and have had at least 3 random reboots or shut off reboots the the last three days.
Today 4 times reboot when unlocking with Code unlock.
Actually considering returning the product.
did you try uninstalling some of the stuff you installed? One by one?
Did you try factory reset?
Stock everything?

I don't really have anything crazy intensive on my phone but it's worth a shot.
As of today I have had several reboots when unlocking the screen. This occurs whether I have the lock screen active or not.
I am considering returning the phone too if this keeps happening. I'm absolutely sick and tired of defects/bugs (whatever you want to call them) like these plaguing my devices.
all it takes is bad install of apps, wacked permissions and what have you.
Eliminate all software possibilities before you blame your phone m8 .
nope completely stock
this just started happening to me today, no idea why... I haven't installed any new apps lately. is it a problem with my phone? you think swapping it out will fix the problem?

lol factory reset and wait few hours, dont restore backups and stuff, that eliminates about everything!
whats left, bad rom, but at that point warrantee
I have stock lg g2 doing same thing. A hard reset didn't work and I have only basic apps that came on phone. However I have been able to turn off lock screen and so far no reboots (yet). T-Mobile has given me a runaround about getting it replaced. Still inside my buyers remorse,I have finally gotten a supervisor to give me a new phone. Tmobile supervisor confirmed lg g2 having a lot of issues. So that said I'm saying goodbye to lg g2, going with something else. Tmobile finally took care of me after being on hold for 5hrs and talking to countless people! Lg g2 has issues but T-Mobile has major issues and that's being really polite!!!

i exchanged it
i went in to tmobile last night to exchange my phone. it took two hours because of a some $1.12 price difference but they eventually got it to work with some trickery. i'm a very patient person anyway.
literally while i was typing this response i was going to say i didn't have the random reboot but JUST F'ING NOW it happened again. I'm immediately doing a factory reset and UNFORTUNATELY and using the phone without instalilng a damn thing. hopefully i can get some idea of what the problem is before my 14 day return window is up or else this phone is going back as much as i hate to say it.
I had a similar problem with my phone while trying to unlock it. Once it started rebooting, it would go into an almost endless cycle of reboots. Sometimes as much as 20 reboots in a row.
I had tmobile exchange the phone for me. No issues since with the replacement. I do definitely think there is a bad batch of G2s out there.

Let me start off by saying I'm a jeweler and am used to looking for stress cracks developing inside of stones, well I found this issue with 2 LG G2s.
I am on my third G2, not because of rebooting but because the sapphire glass that covers the camera starts developing micro cracks running across the lense, has happened twice now, I had it in one of those windowed cases, they suck don't bother, no protection. Anyways, had this issue with the transformer tf201, microcracks develop along edge, then bang, giant crack from corner to corner, no mis use needed, was just bad design. These microcracks are all internal, no breaking the surface.
The way you find them is get light to reflect off of the glass covering the camera, now slowly roll the phone side to side and back and forth, now look for lines reflecting light back at you. If you see those exchange the phone, they will eventually grow, like a windshield crack, and feacture ruining the camera optics.
Hope no one else has this issue, oh and this third LG G2 came with the Isis sim in the box, unlike my first 2, I'm in chicago.

Clean Rom 1.0. No problems or reboots. I have had the phone for about 2 weeks.
Picked up the phone day 1, no issues at all. Fantastic device!
The recent update to gmail was the culprit for me. I started getting the reboots immediately after the update. I uninstalled updates in app settings this morning and haven't gotten a reboot in 12 hours. Maybe it's an issue with the gmail lockscreeen widget after the update? I'm on the verizon g2.
same rebooting issue here for my TMO version. thought it was my lockscreen widget from nils, but then it consisted after i took it off, and still consisted after i factory reset it. so I exchanged the device and got a new one.. same day I got it, it started rebooting again. thinking about just returning but its such a good phone, sad if it has to come down to it.
Simple as this. Random 'reboots are bad. If it's uprooted, exchange it. If it's rooted, use a diff Rom or figure out what you did. One random reboot is enough for me to go ape **** lol. My gnexus did it once and I was back at the store that day.

update
quick update. since exchanging the G2 for another G2 I have not had any random reboots. I did take into account the advice from a previous post on this topic that his gmail update may been the catalyst for the reboots. I waited to update gmail until a few minutes ago so we'll see how it goes.

[Q] Random Reboots

Guys i bought my Galaxy S5 on 3rd May. And during that 48 hours almost my phone has been rebooted twice automatically. One time i was browsing through chrome and every thing hangs ups resulting in ramdom reboot. Second time i finnished a call and was removing ear phones when phones was rebooted. After that when i checked phone status from about phone it was showing that phone was up to about 20 hours. I want to know anyone else facing that problem or its just me. BTW i am using exynos version.

Random Rebooting

My LG G2 is randomly rebooting. The phone is stock. I've performed a factory reset and after a couple of hours it just randomly crashed and rebooted.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I've had the same thing happen over the past few days. I restored all the way back to stock unrooted and still have random reboots. Wondering if it could be a recent framework update - or maybe battery related? I've had my G2 for 18 months with no trouble up until the last week.
same thing happened a few weeks ago to my Wifes Verizon G2. They sent her a new one and within a week or so it was doing the same thing. Random shut downs, reboots and lockups. Sometimes even doing a simulated battery pull would not restore it unless we pulled the sim card first. Got the lollipop update and still had the problem so we took it back to Verizon and they replaced it again. First replacement was a refurb, second was a brand new phone. No explanation as to what was the cause.

Galaxy Note 4 recently started having an unusual problem

Hi everyone, I'm new here in xda. I hope you could help me with a very strange problem with my Note 4: I bought it in February and I was surprised how it worked perfectly, even after some months of usage. The problem started about a month ago: when using it normally, it suddenly started becoming slower and slower, it was lagging very bad, and after few seconds it was completely frozen. I left it on a blank screen for about 15 seconds, then it rebooted itself and everything looked normal... but the signal status icon in the status bar disappeared and I got the "no sim card" error. I rebooted my phone once again and then everything worked well. The exact same thing happened 4 more times in the last month, and I solved the problem in the same way everytime. There were 2 updates since the first time this happened, they noticeably improved the performance of my phone, but the problem is still there and it happened one more time few minutes ago. Any solutions for this? It is very irritating, expecially because it happened in situations I really needed my phone to work. Thank you.
