I was working on a friends phone today and ran across this wierd issue...
After getting into the main screen of the phone at exactly 2:14 min the phone locks up and vibrates 5 times, screen goes black and the green LED blinks.
Ive searched all over and cant find what the issue might be. He is going to take it to sprint tomorrow, but I thought i would ask here for suggestions before he does.
Anyone seen this?
it was happening on a rooted build and unrooted stock build

I tried turning it on a couple more times last night and today and it only varied a couple of times from 2:14. I had it turn off at 2:13 and 2:15 once. I did notice that the battery would charge if the phone was off but it wouldn't charge if the phone was on.
Do both phones have s-off?

No, my phone is the one that is doing this. It has s-on.
Went to sprint today and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with the phone. So they are ordering me a new one. Should be here by Monday.
That sucks...the phones they're sendin out are remanufactured and barely up to par

They told me they were ordering a new phone. I hope it's not a reman'd phone. I didn't pay for one of those... I paid for a new phone. We'll see what happens though.
Hello, my Verizon One won't seem to charge. The other day I woke up, used my phone till it was at about 85%, then topped it off back to 100% before I left as I was going to be on the road most of the day. When I took it off the charger I noticed it was a bit warm, not excessively so but noticeable. A couple of minutes later (it had been off the charger) I noticed it was getting hotter. I restarted it hoping for the problem to sort itself out. Maybe 30 minutes later the battery had dipped to 25% and the phone was very warm. I started to get worried and turned it off. Hoping that would at least postpone the problem I put it aside and didn't mess with it. About another half hour later I picked up the phone to see if it had cooled off, only to find that it was even hotter! I got very worried and actually had to hold an ice cube to the back of the phone because I'd heard of bad things happening to overheating phones. That seemed to solve the problem and the battery seemed to have finally run out because it didn't heat up anymore. I got home and tried to charge it to no avail. The thing seems to be completely dead. I was running CM 11 but I hadn't messed with any processor settings. I thought it would be a software issue because of the beta version of CM but idk after it continued to overheat after it was shut down. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Also, if I should just send it to HTC support let me know. I've been reluctant to contact them since the phone is rooted and all...
I have heard to place the phone under a light with the charging cord hooked up. I know it sounds weird but people says it works. I have heard nothing but horror stories about cm11 and refuse to run that Rom. From issues that you describe to it breaking the lte radio and having to flash an ruu to get it working again. There are so many other Roms that are real good.

Before all this CM11 worked great. No lag and everything seemed to work fine minus a couple occasional glitches. Could it be the ROM as it continued to heat when turned off?
I've had the phone on the charger for about a day now, no sign of life. What will happen if I send it to HTC support?
Where did you get the phone? Most likely if from Verizon you can contact their customer support line, tell them it isn't charging and they'll send you a refurb. I just don't mention to them that the phone is rooted and they have always exchanged mine without issue.

I got mine from Viva Movil as they had it on sale. Would it work the same way since it is a branch of Verizon?

There's no harm in calling Verizon tech support, telling them your problem and asking for a replacement device. The worst they can say is no. But then you'd have other options. I don't see them telling you no. I had an issue with a phone a got off Craigslist and they replaced it. I didn't tell them I wasn't the original owner but it was only a few months old and shouldn't matter anyway. They didn't even ask tho.

The exact same thing happened to me about a month ago and I have been terrified to send it in to HTC or use my Squaretrade replacement program for fear they would figure out it was rooted and send me back my broken device with a voided warranty.
Finally I took it into verizon yesterday and they are now sending me a new one in the mail.
I have to send them my broken one after I receive the new one and I'm afraid they might detect its rooted and charge me the $600 for the new device they sent me.
Anyone gone through something similar?

I bought my HTS One from Viva Mobil too, and it clearly was shipped by Verizon.
Three weeks ago, it stopped booting or charging. I walked into a local VZW store and they couldn't wake it either, so they couldn't see I had rooted the phone. They ordered a warranty replacement for me.
I doubt that they're going to bother to see what ROM is on the returned unit..

Just got back from the VZW store, they took it but said "if any software manipulation was detected" I would be charged $300 for the refurb phone. Better than $600 but I'm kinda worried.
I believe this is associated with running a non sense based rom on the phone. There was another guy who had his phone overheat and speakers blown when he was running AOSP, and I know the overheating thing happened to multiple people. I feel like for some reason it's too risky to run AOSP because of these horror stories so if I want an AOSP feel I'll just run a GPE rom with xposed to tweak it how I like. Never had bad luck since, and I predict I won't have any in the future since these roms are made for our hardware by HTC themselves.

Hey guys,
My note 4 unfortunately died on me last Friday. Yesterday I received a insurance replacement. I believe it was pretty smooth in stock but once I got home and flashed the rom I had on the other Note 4, lag fest. I have flashed different roms 7 times already since last night. I am currently getting ready to flash stock lollipop. Problem is, when you swipe or scroll through screens or menus, even when typing, the lag has become unbearable. Is it possible I'm wasting my time and this refurb is defective? Can't believe I'm going to have to go back to sprint and go through this again,assuming they see it my way.
Is there something I'm not checking?

Well after insisting they did order another replacement. The "techs" there claim the phone is fine but it's not. Aside from the terrible lag, it's a battery hog and I mean I get half the batter life with this POS. Bluetooth is choppy and WIFI never connects automatically. I have to input passwords every time. But no, there's nothing wrong with this refurb. No roms and no amount of resets make the slightest of a difference.
One of the employees there says to me that all phones lag and maybe my expectations were too high. He then asks what was my previous phone. It was a Note 4 :silly:

....idiots. Hope the next one works for you. I just got a refurb also and it seems ok. Touchwiz lags a little on the home screen but after clearing cache it speeds back up.
For some reason this morning for the first time the phone was functioning properly for the most part. Decided to pull the battery and reboot and it's back to it's usual ways. Tomorrow I get the replacement but I wonder if a defective battery could cause these issues?
Try removing the SD card and reboot. This is a known issue with some cards making the phone wonky.

Thank you, I tried that too. In fact I left it without the SD card just in case this phone is so messed up that it may damage my card.

It's a refurb but in great condition. I was surprised to see the bezel scratch-less since it can happen so easily on the beveled edge.
Sure makes work easier with a properly working Note 4. What a great phone!

You received a refurb and it had scratches? I would have flipped my wig and called Asurion real quick. I would have asked for a new phone since your history with refurbs was bad.
I actually starting having problems with my recent received refurbished Note 4. It started after I went to the gym, I put the phone on Airplane mode so I wouldn't be flooded with Facebook notifications and when I turned Airplane mode off the LTE star just kept spinning and wouldn't load any app it just sat there. I rebooted my phone cuz I got tired of it and when it came back Touchwiz home randomly force closed. Then a few hours later I noticed when charging the phone with the fast charger the keyboard and touchwiz lagged pretty bad, but only if I had it charging. Have you seen this lag issue before on your previous refurbished phones? If it keeps up I will be calling Asurion.

Well the refurb before this one lagged terribly in those areas but all the time no matter what. Did you do a factory reset already? If you did and it's still the same then your phone is crapping out.

The phone came factory reset, I HATE doing that all my dang apps get erased and have to start over. If it happens again later I will call and just say Yeah I already factory reset it and still has problems. When your battery gets low later can you charge the battery and surf the web and use the keyboard and see if it lags? I wonder if its just the new Fast charge technology thats making it lag when the screen is on.

Thanks, I checked the forums and couldn't find anyone else complaining about it.
I called Asurion and told them the issues I'm having and they told me I have to take it to a Sprint store and they may fix it or if its unrepairable they will replace it. When I had a claim thru Asurion before it was all thru them not Sprint, I'm assuming this has changed?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but if you use Odin and reflash the stock. tar it won't wipe your data/apps. Worth a try.. That's probably what the Sprint store will do.

Personally I would first delete spotify then reboot see if it fixes it,I personally don't think its the app spotify but worth a try. I would then also backup my data and try a factory reset. If that also does not work consider re flashing a new stock rom.

Nope it may remove the app but not root and service will be able to tell if it's rooted..Best way is to flash a stock kdz to get rid of any traces of it.

Hi, sorry to hijack the thread but my LG G3 d855 is exactly the same. on 29th December i noticed that the wifi wasn't connected to my home network, so did a reboot and still the same. I spent an hour or 2 googling this to find i wasn't the only one. Most had suggested a factory data reset, however said that this doesn't always work. I tried that and still the same so rang my network provider who passed me through to LG UK. It was booked in for a repair and collected on the 5th Jan. I got the phone back on the 26th Jan, and it took me less than 10 minutes to get the same wifi not connecting issue again. On the repair note it states they have changed the ic/pa/filter and updated the software to v20l (although I'm sure i was on later than that anyway). I rang LG again and it was collected the next day. I received the handset on tuesday, and the note this time said software updated, phone tested. I put the battery in, turned the phone on and within a minute found that the wifi would not turn on at all. I also noticed that the build version was V20h, which is a downgrade from the version that was on the phone when i sent it back to them.
I have rang LG again, and was told that they would look at it, but that i might need a new phone. When i questioned the new phone statement and asked why i needed to buyt a new phone, the woman didnt answer me. Anyway, the phone is getting collected today, and i really dont hold out much hope that it will be repaired. I have mailed LG direct to complain about this but i am at the point where i might move away altogether from LG. I am stuck until June waiting for my contract to expire, but am so frustrated with LG and their repair service as they have had my phone over a month now and havent fixed it.
This phone (g3) have bad quality components....my last lg....back to Samsung....I want my S5 again or a new S7 or note 4. Fantastics super amoled displays, great conections, all works. I'm tired of suffering...kkk

Well, update so far is they have "repaired" the handset and its on its way back to me so will get it on monday. I was going to bet a guy at work that it wouldnt be repaired but he wouldnt take the bet. if its still not fixed i think i need to go down the replacement route. I have tried to be polite about this, but the fact that they have ignored 3 emails from me trying to raise a complaint, numerous tweets and facebook messages is making me feel like LG are not a company that can be trusted. I realise that I am a tiny insignificant stone on the bottom of their shoe and am meaningless in the grand scheme of things, but i've never dealt with a company that simply ignores you....
I will update on monday when i turn the phone on
So as a follow up, I got the phone back on Monday and so far it is working fine, WiFi is connecting with no problems. The fix that has been reported is replacing the mainboard. 1 niggle now though is that there is now a hiss in the headphones that comes and goes which wasn't there when i sent the phone in for the million repair attempts. I cant be bothered to go through the hassle of reporting it and sending it off for repair so I'm just going to live with it (its not too bad, just annoying when the music is quiet or paused). I only have a couple of months before I can upgrade, and had thought about a G4 or G5 but after the past 2 months i don't think i'll bother.

so sorry for late reply, didnt know you had asked a question. Mine was done under warranty (apparently LG have a 2 year warranty with Three) so mine was fixed under that. I would guess that it would of been about 100 quid though for the work that they did, if not more. It took them far too many attempts to fix it though, which has left me with a bitter taste towards LG, so not sure whether to get the G5 next, the G4 or move onto a different make altogether

I actually havent got it repaired and im still using it. I called lg and they told me there was a one year warranty on the g3 so im just keeping it until i decide on a new phone to get
my phone is rooted i'm on 13B everything was fine since i got my phone back in august till today i was listening music and was gonna skip to next song that moment is when my phone froze completely after pressing the power button the phone reboot by itself but got stuck on the lg screen i removed the battery after a few attempts it turned on. after 30 minutes or so it rebooted it self again but now even removing the battery it won't pass the lg screen. any ideas? suggestions?
probably the same problem a lot of other people are having. I also had the same symptoms as you, on rooted 13B.
you can try resetting or reflashing your phone but most likely you need a replacement.
theirs a problem with the motherboard going bad, i just had the same problem and lg sent me a replacement under warranty but i wasnt rooted

I put the phone in download mode and flashed 13B KDZ. But unfortunately my phone got back in the bootlop. Good thing I'm gettingmy replacement
It's a hardware issue, not software. A lot of the earlier G4s have "loose contacts" that cause the bootloop to occur. LG has acknolwedged it and are replacing any affected phones without incident. Just call verizon and they'll ship a new one.
Yup, happened to me just his week. VZW shipped another one to arrive the next day. FWIW, I strongly recommend everyone backup their phone to removable SD card using LG's on board Backup utility. If this challenge happens to you, getting back up and running quickly will be much easier if you have this backup ready to go.
...my $.02.
Happened to me as well last night. Took it back to Verizon today and they are sending me another one. I didn't have insurance and no questions were asked. Obviously they recognize the problem. Last LG phone I will own! Unless the G5 is insane. Hehe
Happened to me as well, yesterday. Interesting how this is happening to everyone at almost the same timeframe. I'll take it to Verizon to get a replacement shipped.
I had the same problem, and contacted LG support and they said it will take 9 business days to repair the phone. This seemed like an awful long time to be without a phone, I asked if there was any way to speed the process up and they said no. Thankfully I was able to borrow a phone from work for the duration of the repairs. Considering how this is a major problem with many handsets, I think LG is handling the whole situation pretty badly.
