My trophy started acting up today... during normal use the shutdown screen pop up. I'd slide it back up, it's come down 5 seconds later, I'd slide it back up, then it would reboot. This happened a few times... I pulled the batter then powered back up and the same thing happened. Randomly, after a few more reboots, it stopped rebooting. I used it for a 30 seconds or so to check if I had filled up my storage space - nope, 3.1gb left. rebooted again out of nowhere. After a few more times of this, it shut down and won't start back up. Just a black screen. No lights. When I plug it into my PC via USB, nothing happens... My computer does recognize it and the charging light does not come on.
Thoughts? Dead? Could it be the battery? It was showing about 2/3 full when all of this started... never had a battery issue before though.
I have replacement coverage through Vz but i'd really like to wipe the phone before I give it back to them...

Weird thing happened with my phone today. Was listening to some music and browsing the facebook at the same time and suddenly music changed to this high pitch noise and had pull pull out the headphones cos it was really loud.
Everything on the phone froze and I was not able to do anything. None of the buttons worked etc.
I ended up removing the battery and once inserted it back, and pressed the on button, phone wouldn't come back on. Not even a vibration.
I have just plugged it to my PC and can see the orange light as if it is charging. But still won't come on. If I try and turn it on, orange light disappers but if I take the battery out and back in again, starts to charge - orange light.
I know the phone was fully charged before I left work and this happened almost like 15-20 minutes later.
I will contact HTC tomorrow, but just wondering if they'll repair it as I have used unrevoked about a week ago to root the phone but I have not loaded any roms as yet - Still have the original t-mobile rom.
So the screen stays completly black when you power the device on ?
You might try to Hard reset the device.
I would recommend this anyway before giving the phone away.
Else you can try to boot into recovery.
Or connect to your PC via USB and see whats happening.
Boot into recovery by holding down Vol Down and powering on. Try clearing the cache and rebooting.
If it doesn't boot, I recommend, doing a full wipe and trying again.
If this still doesn't work then put a room on your SD card and flash.
If you can't boot to recovery then its a hardware fault or battery issue. I suggest going into your local Telco store and ask to test with another battery.
Good Luck
Further to this, this morning I have noticed that the battery light was green, so the battery is obviously charging.
I still cannot turn on the device using power + vol down.
Called HTC now and arranged a collection.
My phone decided it wanted to NOT start back up. It started to, but then it went EXTREMELY slow upon boot and froze. I battery pulled, and it did the same. I tried another battery and this time it started going normal then it did the same.
I battery pulled and it showed just the Google logo and froze there.
I pulled the battery and it won't turn back on at all now. I tried my 2 different batteries. I tried directly plugging it into the outlet and USB.
I have it in USB and it shows up as OMAP4440 for like 2 seconds in Device manager then disconnects and then reconnects and disconnects and reconnects.
Can someone tell me what's going on here... please?
I got it to turn back on. It just shows the Google logo and that's it. It doesn't show the Unlock symbol. Then it goes and looks like it's starting up Eclipse, but goes into a boot loop...
And now it's booted up..
I have no idea what the hell just happened, but it looks like I'm going to install a new ROM later tonight and not let this guy shut off or anything! D:
I'm sure whatever was wrong with it, repeatedly pulling the battery didn't help it. You should have gotten the output of logcat and dmesg to see what was going on in the background.
So it's the second time my G3 gets stuck and won't come back to life. 6-7 months ago it was stuck onto the firmware update screen (thou I never messed with rooting and stuff) and I had to send it back to LG Italy since it was still under warranty. They just wiped everything off, replaced something and sent it back to me.
Today's problem: Phone was off this morning and when I tried to turn it on it seemed like battery was dead. Charged it and turned it on after a while, got into home screen and a weird message about whatsapp loading issue because my phone time wasn't correct. On top of that the phone was totally frozen and didn't respond to any imput, so I had to remove the battery and put it back in. From now on, the phone is stuck on logo screen. Tried to put it in download mode, I see the firmware update screen but my computer won't recognize my phone via pc suite. Recovery mode won't even start. Tried to turn it off and just plug it into my wall charger: the empty battery icon with the loading symbol pops up and everything seems to be stuck, even if I unplug it the icon would still be there. I tried with two different batteries getting the same result
Totally clueless about what to do now (the phone is still under warranty by the way).
Hello, i faced a serious problem this evening, just after i finished a call phone, the screen of the phone went Blue and then it went off, i started to put it on again and then it showed the screen with LG and then it went black no boot at all. i removed the battery and i tried again and still the same, so i tried to remove the battery and put it again and plug it with the computer, it went on with charging battery and then suddenly went to blue screen again.
So i tried to put the recovery mode with power down and on/off and it worked i got the recovery mode screen with factory reset but it was only with factory reset, i tried it and then i put yes and it reboot and then after LG screen, it went black again....
so i tried to put download mode with usb cable but it wont, always i got the blue screen. what should i do, where is the problem exactly for people who had the same problem ? the batterye ? the motherboard ?
anyone to help ? i changed the battery and it wasnt coming from it, and the phone showed others anormalies like sometimes u can charge the battery and you see the % and sometimes it goes blue screen and shut down. anyone had the same issue before ?
My LG G3 randomly started giving this problem for 3-4 days till it went completely bad. It just wouldn't get past the Blue Screen. Since I had to take a backup before taking any further action, I have been able to get it up and running for very short durations by keeping the cell phone in the freezer for an hour or so. Yes. I am not kidding. After it freezes, I can get it up on about 5th or 6th attempt. Sometimes even more. Be mindful that the battery is now showing a red humidity marker due to the freezer.
I am thinking of asking LG to repair it. What a piece of crap. Its only 18 months old for me.
I have an idol 4s and last night before bed, around 11:30pm, it decided it was a good time to windows update. I looked over and I saw the reboot and the gear icon, so although I knew I had about 50% battery I plugged it in and continued to read my book while waiting for it to finish.... except after the progress bar got to the end my phone never turned back on.
Despite several attempts at holding the power button to get it to come on, or plugging and unpluggin the power , all I get is the White Alcatel Idol4S boot screen, followed by the pink TMobile Logo.
Then, coincidentally as I'm writing this I plug it in again (coincidentally into my pc at work if that makes any difference) and it finally gets passed the windows logo and it shows the message at the top something about finishing up or whatever.
But as I recall, this happened on the last update, whenever that was too. Any idea what the heck is going on? Has this happened to anyone else?

I cannot tell much from what you are describing, but my best advice is to let it do what it needs to do and finish.
Just plug it in and leave it alone. Possibly you interrupted the update/upgrade process, but who knows? Unless it hangs there for hours and hours I try to never touch my windows phones to force a soft reset unless I absolutely have to.
Yeah, so it happened again last night. Just as I was going to bed, I saw the black and white screen with the gears rotating, so I just plugged the phone into power and went to bed... but making sure to turn on my other device so I'd atleast have an alarm to wake up to. 8 hours later nothing. If I plug in power or unplug power, I'll see the tmobile splash screen and then nothing else.
[edit] Not sure how relevant this is. But when I plug it in to power. The white led near the camera turns on as usual. But after a while it turns off, which leads me to believe that the device is literally turned off because as I recall, genreally speaking, it is not possible to plug in a windows phone device and not have it charge. What makes it interesting though is that even though the led is turned off, I still see the device in "This PC" when it is connected. I just can't browse the device storage of course. So as soon as I disconnect, it is not visible on my windows 10 pc until I plug it in again. I finally long pressed the power button, and unlike earlier when I would just remove and reconnect usb power, this time, the White Alcatel/windows 10 branding showed up, THEN the pink tmobile logo. And finally it booted up.
Mine's been doing the same since the start of the year... I have to keep rebooting till it finally "works" again... takes about 45-60mins of rebooting.
