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.

I backed up some things and im factory reseting right now. What would be a good rom to flash? A while ago this phone was soft bricked and I flashed kitkat and reupgraded to lolipop and this just happened.

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

Yea Ive been a month without WiFi on it and I've taken it to 2 phone repair shops and its been said to be a motherboard problem and lg would have a big fee to fix it. I'm going to get a new phone soon because this problem is happening a lot right now with lgs

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.
Hi all, ok tonight/this morning at work while on my break i went to do my usual thing of having food and watching a tv show via cartoon hd about 2mins in and my phone switched off.....now i thought it was dead so plugged in the charger but no led light, or screen on to say its charging.....i did a bit of googling and find out about the bootloop thingy buuuuut mines not looping, its swtiching on to the LG logo [i did the bootloader unlocker thingy etc so it says tha in the top corner] then it goes off.......i also get pulsing blue led lights too.....if i press, hold the power button after i get nothing, i have to take the battery out and then its rinse and repeat
Hi,
Same thing happened to me today. I was taking a shot and it switched off and same scenario.It seems that we had encountered an bootloader brick in which our device enters in some special bootloader mode in which when you connect it to the computer in the device manager it shows up as Qhsusb_bulk. I read the whole internet and there is a similar brick with G3 the guys were able to fix it. Even there is a tutorial on how to do this which I think is applicable to our device. I was able to install the required drivers and etc. but there is one big problem - I followed the guide and came into one serious problem - we need a special mbn file so we can recover our device and the sad thing is nobody on the internet doesn't have it still. There are many people like us who got selfbricked G4 and cannot fix it without this file. Please if somebody can help us please share the file so we can fix our devices. THANK YOU !
Link to the g3 unbrick guide
ive seen lots about the bootloop issue, but the thing is mine isnt doing a loop [i have to take the battery out/ pop it it back in, to switch it on then after 10-20 seconds on the LOGO it turns off

on G2 you get security boot error phone is detected as QHUSb_BULK. on G2 the fix was to enter download mode. in G2 vol up then plug usb.
using TOT method and flash tools . flash stock firmware fixed my soft brick.

I have the issue. I don't do anything special but my phone reboot and stuck on lg logo. But now my phone doesn't want to boot. Sometimes he detect when I'm trying to charge it but often not. Yesterday I boot on download mode and recovery but today it's impossible... I think I have some hardware issue ? Or software with the bootloader...
I don't know how to fix that without access to download/recovery mode :crying:
Same here. Sometimes it boots into recovery/download but most of the times it doesn't. It's a hardware problem I think as LG officially confirmed that there were problems during the building proccess of the first G4 series. I don't want to sound bad but soon or later all phones built before october last year will get into bootloop. I was hoping it won't happen to me - I'm very light user with only light standart apps with no games and other heavy stuff, so the problem wasn't caused by overheating by heavy multitasking. Anyway it happened and I'm pretty sure it's harware related but if somebody can provide the tot and mbn files I will be more than happy to try the g2/g3 unbrick method. The main problem is that these files are not available for h815. I found on other forum tot files for other variants than h815 So if somebody have the tot filesfor h815 please share so we can try to unbrick our G4. Thanks!
same thing heppened to my g4 this week. i called lg last night and they agreed to repair it. i'd just gave them a call.
I sent mine for repair today. I hope they will agree to repare it even that it's with unlocked bootloader and with rooted custom rom !!! What you think ? Will I have problems with them because of that ?
Happened with my phone as well. It was rooted so i was hella scared if they didn't accept my phone. But soon they told me phone's motherboard has gone bad and will be replaced. Got my phone with a brand new motherboard after a couple of hours.
P.s. all your data will be gone

So the same problem just happened to my lg H815 with unlocked bootloader, am really f***ed without my phone, gonna call LG UK tomorrow, anything in particular I should say? also looking for solutions I saw many people are starting to have this issue now too - any official comments from LG?
P.S. if you have an LG G4 you should start backing up all your data now
This literally just happened in the last 15 minutes to me as well. Random reboot right after I woke up the phone and now stuck on the LG splash screen. Light user here, never did anything with the phone that would have heavily stressed it physically or computing-wise, so I also concur it's an inevitability for earlier runs of G4 phones.
Luckily, I backed up everything through TWRP last Thursday by chance because I was updating Xposed to the latest version and swapping to a faster 128GB microSDXC. At worst, I might have lost a handful of unimportant text messages.
Not worth the time to try to figure out any cheap fixes myself, I just got done submitting a repair request to LG.
I ordered LG G4 H815 and I hope to not see any kind of these issues

Got mine April 1st. Worked great until May 9th. In the morning it hung and went into a boot loop. After 7 or so reboots (at various stages of boot cycle) it came back. A few hours later it did it again. This time 4 or 5 times and went dead. I tried battery pull, SD card/SIM card pull, and even swapped to my fully charged spare battery. It will not power on.
Called Sprint and they offered to sell me a used phone or fix it for a fee. Called LG. LG said they would take care of it but I would have to send in the phone for repairs and it would be about a 2 week turn around.
It's too bad because I really do like the phone but It'll take a while to regain my confidence in it...coupled with the locked boot loader...I don't know. It has the potential to be a great phone but LG may be shooting themselves in the foot.
Yeah I've had the same issue. For some reason sometimes it would get itself stuck in a boot loop. I would wonder like what the heck is going on... My camera also stopped working functionally and I couldn't make phone calls. I tried factory resetting it and issues were still there. I had to send in my phone which was super dumb... Not only is my phone not working but I have to be without it for like two weeks.
This used to happen with G3... I went back to Samsung. But now i got G5 and i havent had any problems.

my boot loops all happened in the same area, my wife's work. First time when I dropped her off on my way to work and again when I picked her up on the way home. I've noticed before there's a spot where I get really bad reception in the driveway of work and the phone switches to 3G or worse. Both loops started when that occurred. It may have just been a coincidence...and I've certainly been other places with various degrees of worse reception...I was at a datacenter inside a faraday cage just the week before and didn't have any problems.
Since these phones can't be rooted yet I haven't done anything that any consumer wouldn't be able to do. I DID disable some services and installed adguard, but anyone can do that and none of it requires elevated privilege or voids the phone's warranty.
The status on the LG web site is now "repair in progress".
Fortunately I use GV so I can answer my calls and texts from any phone and just went back to my G3 while thr G5 is out for repairs.
Interestingly, when I called LG they didn't even ask me for details. They immediately said "send it back and we'll fix it". Either they have really good no-hassle customer service (they might, this is my first experience with LG customer service so I have no frame of reference) or this is more common than they let on and they know about it.
phone is on the way back. the fault on the repair order is listed as "power management IC".
Let's see what others with this problem get....if you sent your phone to LG for repairs the diagnosed problem will be listed on the email from LG notifying you the phone has been fixed. Looks like the PMIC problem was present in the G4 as well.
I wonder if there was a manufacturing defect in the first batch.

How long did it take LG to fix your phone once they received it? How long was it actually at LG before they shipped it back to you?
11 days

Nothin to do with first batch g4s even repair still doing it. They said any g4 aft sept 15 was good. Nope even more are looping everyday.
I haven't experienced this issue. I have had the screen ghosting issue, and my volume-down button just stopped working altogether a month ago. I've debated sending it in for repair, but I have been able to manage with the on screen controls. I really cannot go two weeks with no phone in my line of work.

Woke up last saturday morning, grabbed my phone on the way outside and it was off, dead battery, went and grabbed the spare from the charger popped it in, and hello infinite boot loop death.
Ive tried the freezer trick, but waiting 15 mins for 63 apps to optimize each time is death.
I called LG spent 2 1/2 hours on hold, disconnected 3 times, and when I finally got a supervisor to speak with I had to convince them the boot loop was a known issue and they would call me back on Monday. Never got a call.
Following day went into Best Buy where I purchased the phone and it was 11 months old, 505, they advised me to go to Verizon, Walked over to the verizon store a few doors down and had a great customer service experience, they took everything I said for face value, offered to send me a 'Like New' replacement, got that phone 2 days later, started up, and its a bigger piece of **** than my boot loop brick. Wont stay on for more than 5 mins, sometimes it boot loops, other times it doesn't, locks up harder and faster than a frogs bhole ..
once again went back to Verizon, again amazing customer service, now on my 3rd LG G4 in the mail, 2nd Like New..
I am pretty done with G4 completely.. and I can't just upgrade because I'm on the ULD still.. so I'm going to try and press for my replacement credit if/when this phone fails again and try the BB trick again.
My question to XDA users is what VZW phone are you looking at after your G4? I really need something that can have the hotspot unlocked. the Galaxy S7 looks decent, but looks like boot loader unlock is not coming, and worse camera.
here is a highlight of my conversation with LG Supervisor that has made others laughed:
Me: Based on LG's faulty manufacturing and after this phonecall process bad customer retention, can you give me one reason to ever buy an LG product again... just one?
Supervisor: umm come on *my name* you know why
Me: no please, tell me, you have a poorly constructed phone, and you're arguing with customers over the fix, and now you're telling me there is nothing you can do to make me the customer happy so I purchase another LG product..
Supervisor: I understand, but, but, LG is... well because they're good.
Me: ahh yes good. what is good exactly the products or the customer service?

I called LG spent 2 1/2 hours on hold, disconnected 3 times, and when I finally got a supervisor to speak with I had to convince them the boot loop was a known issue and they would call me back on Monday. Never got a call.
Following day went into Best Buy where I purchased the phone and it was 11 months old, 505, they advised me to go to Verizon, Walked over to the verizon store a few doors down and had a great customer service experience, they took everything I said for face value, offered to send me a 'Like New' replacement, got that phone 2 days later, started up, and its a bigger piece of **** than my boot loop brick. Wont stay on for more than 5 mins, sometimes it boot loops, other times it doesn't, locks up harder and faster than a frogs bhole ..
once again went back to Verizon, again amazing customer service, now on my 3rd LG G4 in the mail, 2nd Like New..
I am pretty done with G4 completely.. and I can't just upgrade because I'm on the ULD still.. so I'm going to try and press for my replacement credit if/when this phone fails again and try the BB trick again.
My question to XDA users is what VZW phone are you looking at after your G4? I really need something that can have the hotspot unlocked. the Galaxy S7 looks decent, but looks like boot loader unlock is not coming, and worse camera.
here is a highlight of my conversation with LG Supervisor that has made others laughed:
Me: Based on LG's faulty manufacturing and after this phonecall process bad customer retention, can you give me one reason to ever buy an LG product again... just one?
Supervisor: umm come on *my name* you know why
Me: no please, tell me, you have a poorly constructed phone, and you're arguing with customers over the fix, and now you're telling me there is nothing you can do to make me the customer happy so I purchase another LG product..
Supervisor: I understand, but, but, LG is... well because they're good.
Me: ahh yes good. what is good exactly the products or the customer service?
**dead air for about a min.**

Im worried that by doing that I'll void the warranty and LG won't accept my claim, i've also rooted the phone, and i've read negative feedback on that also.

NO they won't find out I did it all & got my phone replaced they want to keep there customers so they'll do whatever it takes to make the customer happy
My phone is a 510 build. Still rev 1.0. If I were looking right now for a phone on Verizon, it would be the S7 or the wait for the next Note or Nexus. If you were to not use Verizon anymore, which is what I'm contemplating, I would either get a Nexus or OnePlus Three.

access adb with usb debugging on but dev options off
sooooooo.... i have a verizon g4 thats on 13b and rooted . i tried to edit a line in the build.prop file to allow ANY 2 apps to open at the same time and i did something wrong and now im stuck in a boot loop. i would normally just use lg root tool to reflash the rooted system img to my phone to fix this, thats not too big a deal. my real problem is i have usb debugging on but dev options off so usb debugging prob is too so adb will b useless if thats the case sooo i guess i just need to know if usb debug will work if dev options are off?

Are you wanting to get data off of it or just reset it? Or are you wanting to just try to fix the build.prop? How far does your boot get (LG screen or Verizon)? Will it boot into download mode?
EDIT: I just turned on debug and turned off dev mode, and it automatically turns off debug. I couldn't connect to my phone via adb. The way that I escape from bootloops, at least when it makes it to the Verizon screen, is using LGUP in the same way the downgrade is done. I can't post links, but it is at this post: forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/downgrade-mm-to-ll-lgup-t3322616
