Hi guys!
I have a problem with my brand new g3, so any help would be much appreciated.
So hear me out.
I bought my lg g3 32 gb around five weeks ago, everything was flawless, i mean, lightning fast, no lag... just perfect. But after around ten day or so something happened... One evening i put it in charge and after a couple of minutes i received a message. So obviously, i wanted to reply, but after a couple of seconds i felt in my hands how my g3 started to heat itself... i didn't manage to finish the mesage because it restarted by itself... At the moment i didn't thought its that bad. The next day i noticed that is full of lag, UI, apps... Everything.... I did many factory resets, the problem persists. I made a update to lollipop, no matter how much i hate it, the problem persists. I've instaled some custon roms like cloudy, CM... nothing... same problem. I took it to a service center and told the guys to do a full test, hw and sw... After a couple of days the called me and said to me that the "device has no problem"...
So... here i am wondering if there are other solutions...
Any help, thoughts, ideas would be much appreciated.
Sorry for my bad english.
Thank you!
Anyone? Please?...

Hi,
For two days I have had a serious problem with my HTC P3300 Artemis:
There are actually 3 different things that happen:
1. The phone freezes while working. No idea what causes it. Happened at different occasions.
2. The phone doesn't wake up when I hit the wake-up-button.
3. Often while rebooting the screens whites out or whites out and gets green or purple vertical lines.
In each case only removing the battery helps.
I use Mossisrom as my OS.
Can anybody tell me how to fix the problem? Is it a hardware or software problem? Please help me!!!

I get the problem about waking up too. Sometimes it won't for a while. I leave it a couple of seconds and then try again which usually works.
Have you checked how much free internal memory you have. WM seems to still be very sensitive to low memory.
Hi,
I am rather sure that it's not a memory issue. The system freezes completely, not just for some seconds. I can't call the phone either. I think its either a SW or a HW problem and hoped, someone could tell me what to do.

I can only suggest resetting the ROM back to a standard one and seeing if you still get the problems. If you do, it is probably a hardware problem and you should get the phone replaced.
I had the exact same problem with my P3300. It's a malfunction in the Motherboard. I've called the dutch helpdesk and because a hard reset didn't do much good the PDA was picked up later that day to be sent to Eurotwice, the repair station in Belgium. I got my phone back 2 weeks later, I started it and it froze again! So I immediatly called HTC Netherlands and again, the P3300 was picked up by UPS that afternoon. The second time I wrote a letter to the repair station and sent it with my phone. In another topic on another website I read that some other phone with the same problem had been fixed by replacing the motherboard. I got my phone back today and it works great! It hasn't crashed today, and I have confidence it won't in the future. So my tip to you and anyone who experiences this problem: Call the HTC helpdesk in your country and ask them to sent your PDA to a repair station. It might take a while but they fix it well! By the way, you have 2 years full garantee so it didn't cost me anything! Great service from HTC!
Wow, you had a great experience from HTC . I didn't. I had the exact same problem as posted. HTC claimed I broke the phone myself and wanted to charge me. They claimed something broke behind the screen and that I must've pressed it too hard, despite the screen still being intact. After three months of phone calls to the UK and a lot of empty promises (promised to get a manager to call me back, never got them. promised to discuss with repair dept and call me back, never got them) I finally got my phone back , fixed. No explanation as to why they changed their mind. I had asked them to take a picture for me of what was broken and to how they came to the conclusion that I was the one who broke it. Maybe they were too lazy to do it.
Hi,
my Artemis turns off every now and then and I'm getting a bit pissed off by the phone. Because it happens exspecially when I'm talking to someone. The error occurred first about two weeks ago and i tried to fix wit an hard reset, but that didn't worked out. I also don't think it has anything to do with the battery, since it also turns off while being connected to the charger.
If anyone knows help, I would be grateful.
i had the same problem and the solution is ......
a new battery
My XDA Orbit is doing the same thing - randomly switching off when in use (either phone call or browsing the web). Its being doing this for over the last two to three weeks and I, too, am getting pissed off with it. My Orbit is over two years old so I'm suspecting the battery although the battery meter states everything is OK. I've just purchase a new battery on-line and, when I receive, I'll let you know if it cures the resetting issue.
Alistair
thanx, that is at least a problem with an easy solution.
@ ajmcfarlane: thx, I'll wait for your post.
Received battery on Saturday and early indications look as though it has cured the problem of the phone resetting. If anything changes, I'll keep you posted.
Cheers, Alistair
great, I'll order a battery right away
i also got same problem in my p3300 so did changing battry really solvd problms?
It will cure it.
awesome.. i think most of us have purchase this amazing handset more or less the same time..
all of our devices loosing out on batt.... no bad..
can any one please update the price of a new battery ?
i am in india now.. will be going to singapore this month end to watch the formula 1.. are there any options to buy it in singapore to save some money on it ??
how much is the new batt ??
I have over 200 of these devices in their various guises, and I can tell you that this is a very common problem. If you are lucky you only need change the battery and the device will be fine. If that does not improve matters then good luck as I am yet to find a solution when the problem is not simply the battery. At the moment my best effort is to flash the device with an upto date original ROM and change the battery. It seems to help but I can't say it fixes them as I have not monitored how the reflashed devices perform yet. I will post when I have used the reflashed devices for a few months and see how they go on

Hi radcarash,
do you have any findings? I got the same issue with one Artemis, and it seams the battery change doesn't help at all. I'm just wondering if you found already another solution to cure this world wide problem.
cheers,

Hey all, I've had my G2 for over a year now and I love it. A few days ago, the phone started going haywire. The screen has become unresponsive in some cases, while in other cases, it seems to have a mind of its own. It literally starts typing and keeps typing by itself (it seems to like typing the number 4 a lot). I tried installing another rom (CM7), but to no avail. Sometimes if I have the keyboard open, it helps a bit, but it doesn't totally stop the phone from doing things on its own.
If anyone know why this is happening and especially how to fix it, please give me a heads up.
Thx

Lets just say your device has come to an end or you probably overworked it during its "youthful" days is quite common but for the time you have used it, it should still have alot of life in it i've had mine for over a year and its still cool. For the solution i think you should send it to the technical guys maybe an HTC service center or any good mobile service center cos i totally think this has nothing to do with software its hardware.
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED

It's very likely that the screen digitizer has been damaged somehow, as this random touch signal behavior is a typical telltale. As you have verified that it's not a software issue by testing it in another ROM, a screen replacement would be likely needed. Send it back to HTC for a repair/replacement if yours is still under warranty, otherwise there will be third-party repair shops that you can consider.
Thanks for the responses guys. Sounds like dtt hit the nail on the head. I'm gonna look into replacing the digitizer myself. I think I can do it without a problem, and I don't have much to lose anyway if it goes wrong since the phone is unusable right now.
Hi guys, I really need the power of the internet now. My googling powers have let me down, and now there's only you guys left to help me!!
I got a Lg g3, and i've enjoyed it for a while. I have experiemented a little with it (rooting and installing roms) and it's about 2 years old i think.
And now, the wierdest problem that I really can't understand, i'll try to explain as good as i can!
It all started a couple of days ago, my phone just rebooted as soon as I started up Snapchat. After a day, this reboot appeared more frequently, and yesterday I gave up. The thing is, as long as it's charging, it works fine, all of the programs. But when I woke up this morning, it's completely ruined.... i see the LG startup screen, and then the lock screen. As soon as i touch the screen, it restarts again!
I've tried factory reset and wiping data and stuff.... If any more information is required, i'll provide it as soon as possible!
I believe in you guys, help me out!
I thought about overheating, but since it works while charging, i ruled that out, right?

u sure it's the battery? cause it works a bit better right now. How can i check if it's the battery that's the flaw? it's so wierd that it just got more and more random reboots....
That sounds like the battery as it was the expect problem I had 6 months ago with a battery that was about the same age as yours. I found that my battery had started to swell, very big problem with lithium batteries when they go bad. If you take your battery out and look at it side on there should be no bulging anywhere on the battery, if you see any bulging then stop using it until you can get a replacement.
At the time my phone would work fine when plugged in but would constantly reboot when on battery power.
It seems like that's not the problem, right now it's working fine. I checked the battery and no swellings at all! Could there be any other reason for my phone to act out the way it did/does sometime still?
Did the rebooting start at a particular battery level? Reason I ask is that my spare battery is now showing the same symptoms, but only when lower than 55%, phone will reboot and immediately be at 15%. I pulled the battery out and could feel slight raises along it, not enough to see but I could feel it when compared to my other battery.

Dear Taynor, Try flashing stock firmware of your device. If you suspect your device battery, then first replace it and check whether rebooting issue is still there. Otherwise, flashing stock firmware resolve many issues. Use kdz with LG Flash tool 2014. It is easy to flash firmwares with LG Flash Tool 2014.
Hello. I just made an account here my friend told it is the best site ever made for android users.
My problem starts with that, i own a smartphone called HTC Desire 300, last time i used it was like 5-6 months ago, then it all worked, display and stuff. Then i put that in box because i got another phone and now, today i took it out from there again and saw a weird thing, i have a grey circle around my display, i add a screenshot, and now if i put it on display aint working. Does someone know what can cause it? Do i have to buy new display ( last time it worked, 2 weeks before i ended relationship with that one 5-6months ago then i got a new touchscreen changed ". Does anyone know what is the problem?
So sorry about my English, i hope you can understand.
Much love XDA!
