I'm running into a weird problem as of late. Sometimes when I turn on the wifi, it freezes the entire device. Even soft resetting doesn't solve the problem (it freezes at startup). I even had it freeze after a hard reset! So its not a ROM issue (i've switched ROMs too). Any ideas on why this would happen? The funny thing is that it doesn't happen everytime.

Hello, I tried searching but to no avail.
I have an intermittent problem that is getting the best of me with my TP2. The phone application seems to freeze randomly. It seems to usually occur at the end of a call when I go to hang up. I click end, the call ends and the phone just freezes. The call is disconnected, but the end screen is just displayed and my only recourse is to soft-reset.
There is really not a lot of third part stuff on it, in fact, I did a hard reset not 5 days ago.
Can anyone offer any help on the matter...
As always, many many thanks...
Same problem
I also have the same problem. I recently upgraded to WM6.5, but the problem still exist.
Somtimes the light on the bottom remain on as the phone freezes
I'm also having this problem, infact it keeps freezing on the home screen for me..
If I was not so green, I'd consider trying to get more stable by flashing a different ROM but I have no clue how to even begin to find one, select one, and do the operation.
You might try doing a hard reset. That's cured similar problems for me. I wouldn't suggest doing a backup, because you might backup and restore whatever is causing the problem.
Did a hard reset and no backup loaded only 4 days ago.
Any better solution for this problem??
This problem it's becoming more and more frequent - it was once a month, then once a week - now almost daily
The mt3gs starts to vibrate very fast for 5 seconds, black screen with no interaction possibility, and then reboots.
Ever happened to anyone?
I'm running CM 7.2

Cant say Ive had the exact same issue, but have had similar. Could be a number of things. Some ROMs have problems with phones rebooting when WiFi is turned on. Not sure about CM7 though. I would recommend making a nandroid backup, and reflash your ROM. If it stops happening, it is likely an app or something corrupted causing it. If it continues, go back to a stock ROM and see how it acts. If it stops now, then it was probably something wrong with the ROM. If it continues, it may be a hardware problem that cant really be fixed. (try a different SD card too.)
Yes, sometimes when i turn on wifi, the phone reboots, but it is a different behaviour - the "wifi reboot" it's a system crash, so the screen suddenly turns in the mt3gs boot logo.
When this happen, it is starts to vibrate a lot (for example, it happened at 4am, it woke me up, even if it was far from my ear), then "dies" for a few seconds (doesn't respond to any button press), and then reboots
very strange...
Ok here's the deal, I have my device about 3 months and never had a problem. Since last week my phone kept turning off when I'm on the home screen, restarts when screen is off. So I was advice to try and hard reset my device which I did bunch of times and problems still continues. I did not install any apps when I hard reset it and I don't know what to do????

Random restarting can happen with custom ROMs. It's happened to me with CM a while back. With you being on a custom ROM, that may be what is causing your issue.
Only way to really determine the cause is to view your logcat, which is tricky because it is cleared on a reboot. This app: aLogcat (free) might be useful. You can set it to save your logcats to your sdcard in intervals, that way it is persistant through a reboot.
You can monitor that and see what exactly is causing your issue.
You can also flash back to stock and see if the issue persists.
If you are running stock rom then your main board might be going bad. Someone sent me an article the other day about this happening to people. Apparently Samsung fixes it for free.

Is anyone else having issues with the screen not turning on (at all) sometimes? It seems to happen after the device has been in deep sleep for a while. The only solution is to hold the power button until the device reboots.
It used to happen on 4.4.2 as well, but I was using franco kernel and ART then, so I thought it might have been related to that.
Now I'm using everything stock on 4.4.3 and I'm still experiencing this issue at least 2-3 times a week. I even did a factory reset, but the issue persist.
Could this be a hardware issue with my device?
Anyone got a clue? I should also mention that this never happens while the device is charging.
Hi, I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere and yes i know the bootloop issue is a big problem but i wondered if anyone else has been semi-successful like me. First off the other day my phone rebooted and ended up in a bootloop except the screen never goes completely blank it just dims and comes back on. I did a hard reset and it starts working again for a few days. Then when i connect to wifi it will reboot all of a sudden and be fine until it reboots again and i have to hard reset for another few days. sometimes when looping it will get to the updating apps screen then when it finishes it loops again.
Is this the standard bootloop or does it seem like something different?
Sorry if this is just another repeat of an old issue it just seems to be slightly different from what i have read about the bootloop caused by the known hardware issue. Also the first 3 digits of the serial are 507 if this helps.

Maybe yours is jut preparing for proper bootloop maybe the pins on the bigger qualcomm chip still connect to the motherboard from time to time so you manage to get it booting. Though I wouldn't call it a working device so I would suggest you to start working with LG to have it fixed.

flash stock firmware and then try it for weeks if it happens then hardware is damaged..

Dont play around with it too much it might get permanently bricked ur best option now is to flash a lollipop kdz root it then apply the disable core method to working it again ofcourse the phone will be slow ...or u could just send it to lg for replacement or repair...check youtube for disable core method for g4
I have just plugged it into Lg bridge and run the update error recovery. It hasn't rebooted when connecting to wifi yet but if it does I'm just going to phone LG to sort out a repair and buy a temp phone to use while that happens. I just don't want to do anything that could affect warranty although usually, the warranty would be out the window on day 1 with me
It just seems weird that every time I have seen it reboot it was when it connected to wifi.
