My phone(e973) can't detect GPS signal. I tried to flash different ROMs(ICS,JB,CM10.1 ...) but it still doesn't work. I installed GPS Status app to support for getting GPS signal but still can't detect any satellites. I tried to hold my phone and my father's phone(HTC One X) and stood outdoor. the phone of my father detect satellite very quickly while mine is not. 2 days ago, I flashed Liquid Smooth 4.2.2 rom at AT&T Optimus G Box. Now, It shows like in the screenshot.

have you tried going back to stock (or latest official) with the KDZ?
Can it see the GLONASS satelites?

No. I can't see any satellites.
any body help me
Since the issue seems pretty specific, I'd go for an RMA, you might have an issue with this phone specificaly.
If you do, don't forget to return to locked/stock/unrooted and remove the traces

I did KDZ to return to 4.0.4 stock and I also made a hard factory reset but the problem still isn't solved.
I'm not sure whether or not it is related to baseband because I heard that the baseband manage radio and GPS signal. Do u have any solutions.

My solution, as I told you, is to return it for an RMA, the Optimus G has a 1 year waranty so it must still be covered since it came out not even a year ago!
Sorry to see this thread this late,but i have some questions:
1.where from did you bought your phone ?
2.was new?second-hand?
3.is your phone a demo/pre-unit?
I'm asking this because i tested alot of demo/pre units and many of those had gps hardware disabled.
In uour case,i'm 99% surr it'd a hardware problem,has nothing to do with the software.

well, a man sold it to me. He've been studying in canada and when he returned for holiday, I bought it from him. It is a second- hand phone because he was using this phone before selling to me..
I don't know wether or not it is a demo but front face and rear face has a LG logo and rear face has the following information:
- LG-E973 FCC ID:ZNFE973
- IC:2703C-E973
- Made in Korea
But when I check IMEI on the Internet, it shows that my phone model is LG E970
2 013287000006856 LGE970 null 101KX001186 20010101 GLOBAL/GLOBAL N N
You should try to contact LG and explain the situation, I'm pretty sure you do have a waranty even if it's second hand.
Only if he has the original invoice and the warranty certificate.if not,i'm afraid there is no good news.
He can talk to the person who sold it and ask if he has them,but....

Are you sure of that? Have you tryed it yourself?
IMHO, as long as the IMEI has not been reported stolen, you can have it serviced. I have done many RMA over the years (I've been working in IT's for more than 10 years) and never once I was asked for the "warranty certificate", and only some times I was asked for an invoice (didn't even needed to be original)
Try it, if it fails, then contact the dude and have him scanned/emailed the things to you.
If you can't even try this out, there's no point trying to solve anything else.
Yeah,i'm sure.But i didn't made myself clear. I asked about papers so he could send the phone to WARRANTY.
Without those papers,it won't be worth the price. Let me tell you why.The mainboard needs special tools to work on.This special tools can be found only at LG or official services.I will look further on the service manual to see if the gps module can be replaced.If it's soldered to the mainboard, without the possibility to be replaced,then he needs the whole mainboard and this will cost about 200 euros as spare.Again,the replacement can only be done in an official service,because the imei will have to be re-writen.
Not to mention the callibration of the screen to work properly on the new mainboard.It is more complicated than it seems my friend,believe me.
I don't know how can you replace components without proper papers,without the warranty certificate.It's the basic in service .
You said it yourself, if you can't prove the origins of the product,how do they know it's not stolen and not out of warranty?The IMEI is registered at the operators,not at LG.
Why don't you just let the OP contact them and explain the issue
http://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/contact-customer-support
They can check with the serial number to see if the waranty is still valid. Many company does.
And I'm not talking about sending it for repairs at his expenses, but under waranty. As I already stated, many companys can service a device under waranty only with the serial number.
At least in Europe this will not work.
Why?because you need to prove you are the rightful owner of the device.besides,in Europe we 2 yrs warranty and it's stated clearly:in order to benefit the warranty,the product must be shipped in the original box,with all accesories,along with the invoice(or any other payment proof) and the warranty certificate.simple as that.

I brought my HOX about a month ago, no issues at all after updating to 1.28, no built issues zero software issues, it was perfect.
But today morning i installed a game and tried to touch the menu bar(the vertical bar with 3 dots just above capacitive buttons) and it does not work.
Not only in the game but everywhere you try to touch that area nothing happens.
This problem is not only limited to the menu bar, but also till very slightly above it.
The 1.29.7 update for asia just came out, i thught this would fix it but it didnt.
Tried to factory reset but still doesnt works.
Is this a hardware problem? Should i take to htc?
And do you think i will get a replacement or a repair job done?
Also, i have never dropped the phone even once, it was aways in soft silicon case away from any rough use. In fact, it has hardly been used.
Thanks
I would send it right back to HTC for a replacement.
Exchange it. I had a simular problem with mine but it was the top of the screen that stoped working. In the end I had to get a exchange.

I am expireincing the exact same problem, except the non working part of digitizer is just above the middle of the screen. Is flashing a new ROM would fix it? I think i have nothing to loose, since i cannot send my phone to AT&T because i bought it used on ebay and i live in Canada. I guess it could be 50% chances ROM issue, my old Sensation was having a speaker issue, witch was playing very weak, i sent it to HTC and they flashed a new ROM, it got is spaeker fixed.
I too had this problem although it was intermittent. Sent my HOX to be repaired on Thursday, waiting to hear back.

Hi I do have same issue as same in screen shot shown I have at&t which does not warenty please help
My G4 was given Free to me by LG USA MOBILE on the LG G4 Trial. I received the device on May 22, 2015. Its one week before its started selling here in the US.
I am a die-hard LG Fan.
This device has been running this sudden bootloop issue till sometime after New Year 2016 it can never boot up again. Its Stucked on LG logo. I never thought this could happened to my beloved G4. Called LG USA was told this is a free phone so no fix. I was so pissed. The accessories I brought are all useless. Those leather backcovers cases batteries and charger.
Since LG not going to fix for me. I decide to bake the main board on my Oven.
Instructions
1.Disassembled your G4 and remove your main board. (Check YouTube for instructions)
2. Turn on your Oven and pre heat to 385 degree F.
3. Place your main board on the Aluminium foil stand onto a cooking sheet or aluminum foil with the EMI shield Up.
4. Once Oven has reached the desired temperature, place it into the Oven and bake it for 7 minutes.
5. When time up, leave the Oven door opened and the it stand or cool down for at least 60 minutes. Do not touch it or move or eat it. Patient.
6. Finally, reassemble your G4 and pray that the LED start blinking.
Seriously ...Credits go to @csjneek who provides the link and videos.
@Skedgy sky who have me the idea of doing this fix.
@johnyute who give me the audacity to bake it since he uses the heatgun method.

Let's hope the fix is permanent, it should be.
We are lucky because g4 is one of the easiest phone to disassemble. So this fix should be easy to do.
Good luck and keep us updated

This probably won't be a permanent fix. I have used this same method on desktop graphics cards. Basically the same theory applies and which the heat will "reseat" the improper flash memory in hopes that the device will return to its normal function.
Mind you, much like the use of this in fixing graphic cards, PlayStation 3's, etc. there is a high chance of failure. It really should only be used as a last ditch effort in terms of trying to fix electronics. Sometimes it's better to simply pay a professional be it LG Out-of-Warranty service, or a 3rd party repair company who has the tools needed to proper desolder / resolder flash memory chips.

Seriously, I already gave up on LG USA mobile. Its a free phone and they denial me several times to fix it just because its not sold on US carriers. But its given to reviewers and media to test. I got nothing to lose but they lost a LG Fan. I move on and got myself a Honor 5X. Getting the Mate 8 too.

You are correct, but i I'm thinking there must be a very very small point of loose soldering because it's being triggered only by heat expansion. Maybe there is a chance that by melting a bit too create a bond.

Just an update, I decide to disassembled the G4 including the heatsink. I dipped the contacts between the SD808 and the logic board with a conductive wire glue. Since the heatsink already removed, I also applied some Artic Cooling MX-3 thermal compound on the chipsets. Will keep this thread posted.

Worked for me also (I assume not for a long time, but nice to be able to backup a few things). H811 Serial starting 507, manufacture date 7/2015, hw 1.0
I used to do this on a Dell Inspiron GeForce video card that was plagued with a similar problem.
"Baking" the video card in the oven would make it function again for up to a year.
There were shops that were offering a service to re-flow the video card professionally for ~50-60$.
I am sure they could do the same for the G4 but IMHO ATM we don't have enough exact information about what it causing the bootloop.
For a G4 that is out of warranty, paying 60$ to have it brought back to life seems reasonable.

Everything worked normally for a few hours, but it didn't even last the night (less than 8 hours total uptime). It wouldn't even show the LG Logo at first, but after switching the battery it did again - back to the original bootloop behavior.
Hello,
so my device died (bootloop) on 5th dec, got it back today after warranty.
I sent in a rooted 5.1 lollipop (bootloader locked) and got the same thing back with mm 6.0
IMEI same, serial number, same.
Repair report:
http://i.imgur.com/xwU33uZ.jpg
They claim to have changed the main pcb, wouldn't the IMEI have changed then?!
There's even a dedicated "IMEI Nr." and "IMEI Nr. New" field on the report...
Does anybody have a clue what they actually did? Did they replace the motherboard and put "my old" IMEI in there?
Is there any way to check what 'serial number' the new mainboard has had before? Sticker behind the battery still sais 506....
I sent back a Canadian G4 for repair 2 times. After the second repair I still had the same phone both times it was rooted on lollipop a d came back with marshmallow.. I have no idea what they do but whatever it was they didn't do it right the first time.

Mhh, thanks for the info. I was hoping to get a new motherboard with a new serial number (610 is the newest i think?) since i haven't read much about bootlooping issues with those recent ones...
But then, they also could start bootlooping in a few months from now.. who knows.
I wanted to unlock the bootloader on my repaired device, but when the "repair" might just be temporarily and the phone is still vulnerable to this issue i wonder if thats a good idea.
But then, some ppl got their phones "repaired" with bootloader unlocked?! Meh. Decisions decicions.
This folder "zarządzanie" is in Polish language that means "management"

If they have replaced the whole motherboard your IMEI must have changed and you would have had new sticker behind the battery with new SNxxx. My guess is that they may have found cheaper way of repairing bootlooped LG G4 and instead of replacing the motherboard they might be just replacing the affected components or just re-soldering the old ones. Generally LG issued repair guidelines to their repair centers to keep the costs down and just to replace what is only a must to replace.

Thanks, yeah it's just a folder with stock LG settings shortcuts...
Something else, on the repair status it sais the used replacement part (logic board) is "EBR81224301" - and i found it here in this online shop https://north.pl/karta/plyta-glowna-do-smartfona--ebr81224301-,1C9-XK-CL2S-X36.html
Since my repaired phone has the same IMEI and S/N as before, i have no idea what production date this replacement part has.
Maybe a kind soul with a S/N 6xx (609, 610) wants to dissassemble his phone and take a picture of what part-number their main logic board has?

You're right, that's why im curious. As the repair report shows, changed main board, EBR81224301 replacement part.
Perhaps like this
But that doesn't fit the repair report either as the replacement part is seemingly the whole main circuit.
If you would like to raise that with LG I would suggest doing it. If they said they replaced the motherboard (which they didn't as you IMEI hasn't changed) then I would doubt if they did anything else apart from maybe re-soldering the components and that would make their repair report false. I would understand LG that they don't want to spend anymore money on this bootloop disaster with LG G4 but they have to ensure that they provide the best service to the customer which from my LG bootloop repair experience is a lot to be desired...
They do the same thing in the US too. When I sent my phone in for repair, it also came back with same IMEI, serial, and everything, but the repair report stated that they replaced the motherboard. Since all my data was gone and the phone is working fine again, I assume that's what they did. They probably have some tool to set the IMEI number back to the one of the original board's to make the whole process as smooth as possible.
Yep, same as me..report says they swap motherboard but when do the checking,everything is same.
Since yesterday I have a problem...
My LG G4 reboots independently.
It happened the first time after I updated some apps in PlayStore.
So far I could always rely on my G4 and was very satisfied with this device.
Does anyone have similar problems and knows a solution?

Most likely battery issue or hardware failure remember with the G4 it's extremely common and usually ends up with a complete boot loop

That would not be good. I love my G4.

I have the same issues but only when I am on Imperium rom. All other roms work great without reboots. Maybe try switching rom (or a clean stock rom)

Not other than trying a factory reset. Unless your running a custom rom or something. But if your all stock, tried a factory reset it's most defiantly a hardware issue.

I think I have found the solution to my problem.
As netanalyzer, I have encountered the problem of the board.
It is known problem and LG offers a free repair.
My G4 is hot exactly where the board is, which has a defective contact.
I have sent my G4 already to the repair to my mobile phone provider.

LG admits G4 bootloop problem is a hardware fault, will repair affected devices
After several months of LG G4 owners complaining of a bootloop issue to no avail, we picked up the story and confronted LG. The official response has come through and it should make G4 owners happy: LG has acknowledged the LG G4 bootloop issue is a hardware defect and will repair affected devices.
According to the numerous posts on various social platforms and YouTube, the bootloop problem potentially affects all regional models and carrier-branded LG G4 units. After a prolonged investigation, LG has identified the source of the problem as a “loose contact between components” and vowed to repair it, with apologies to LG G4 owners that have been suffering from this problem with no resolution in sight.
Here’s the full statement LG made to Android Authority:
LG Electronics has been made aware of a booting issue with the LG G4 smartphone that has now been identified as resulting from a loose contact between components. Customers who are experiencing booting issues with their LG G4s should contact their local carrier from where the G4 was purchased or a nearby LG Service Center (www.lg.com/common) for repair under full warranty.
Customers who purchased their G4 devices from non-carrier retailers should contact an LG Service Center with the understanding that warranty conditions will differ. LG Electronics is committed to providing the highest standards of product quality and customer service and apologizes for the inconvenience caused to some of our customers who initially received incorrect diagnoses.
If you have a LG G4 with bootloop problems, you should now be able to get the troublesome connector repaired and get your phone back in working condition. LG confirmed that earlier attempts to fix the problem were misdiagnoses which led to the wrong parts being replaced. With the problem properly identified, it should be smooth sailing for repairs from here on in.

Hii have a zfold 4 f936b bought from eBay.
It says IMEI is 00000000 and when I insert sim nothing happens.
Any idea what are my options ? Some people say is a demo phone but it don't look like some other says the user trying to root it but failed. Obviously eBay seller won't take any responsibility
Look forward for your comments.

I waited to long can't do it now . Now my only hope it's to find a way to make this work more than using it as a tablet
when you bought the phone. was it specified in the ebay description that the phone is faulty/locked/imei probelm/etc? was it ":buy as is"? if yes, then you might be in a bit of a pickle of trying to complain/return it. however, if the description said the phone was fine and had no issues: how long ago was the purchase? if you paid by paypal, i believe you have 45 days from the day you paid to lodge a dispute.

Will take a look
Sorry, meant to respond but was in out of service area..
Yeah, you were ripped off... Someone has done something that has wiped the IMEI number. Unfortunately it is a mother to fix, if it can be (Might lose IMEI everytime the phone is reset).
Been years since I had to play around with that and the programs I used to use probably don't work anymore, if I even had them backed up anywhere...
Unfortunately this is the risk of buying off Ebay.
May be a demo phone, all demo devices sent to retailers have no IMEI ie 00000..
Probably snatched from a TMO or VZW and reflashed.

That's neither here nor there.
All retailers (Best Buy, Walmart, etc), cellular providers, and the rest are sent demo phones with no modems to try and alleviate the chance of a snatch & grab.
Chances are extremely high it's one of those devices.

Lol, it's not here but it's there... return it. Otherwise you have a parts queen or play Android roulette and buy a used working mobo. Or buy a new mobo.
Even your 2 imei is 000000?
because sometime the 2nd remain at that point u will use an esim
therefore, Ive been in this situation in the past and the device was mine for some reason i lost the imei.
check if ur device was rooted if it was this could be one on teh reason
I paid someone he fixed it remotely at that time it costed me 20$ .
Are you from Honduras?
