Hi all, my G3 was working fine up until yesterday where the phone turned its self off. I tried rebooting but I got stuck in the LG Logo (Not the animated logo). It would then turn its self off and would do the same thing again if I tried to turn it on. I then thought it could be a battery issues so I turned it off and put it on charge. Fast forward today and it worked fine for about 20 mins but then it starts playing a high pitch sound through the speaker and the system froze. After unplugging the battery I tried to reboot it again but it didn't work and got stuck at the LG logo again. I tried rebooting again and it had a kernel crash. I am on CloudyG3 2.4 and have Twrp recovery.
If this were to happen to me, I think that I would try flashing a different kernel using twrp.

Hello. My G3 has a really annoying and serious issue. It simply is turning off at random moments and booting into a boot loop. Say I am typing a text or watching a video, BOOM. It shuts off, as soon as it's off it boots back up into the FIRST lg boot screen (before the animated boot logo on any rom) if I am lucky it gets past this and into the animated screen. But usually it boots into this screen, shuts off, boots into this screen, shuts off about 16 times before, maybe, just maybe booting up. But it qill even shut off on the animated screen too. It sometimes takes a good 15 minutes to get it to finally boot. (Almost like a car not starting). I have tried multiple wipes and reflashes of the stock KDZ. Nothing is fixing it. I am certain it is a hardware issue, but more specifically the battery. Any input? Thanks!
Here is a video to show what I am explaining, it can happen anywhere at any time.

Certainly does sound like hardware issue if after flashing stock kdz and doing the necessary wipes, out of curiosity does your phone get very hot at all. I mean it could possibly be the battery, have you noticed it draining very quickly or not charging correctly?

Nope. Battery life is as it always has been and the phone isn't overheating. I am very confused haha

Forgot to mention. Every time this happens, the lock screen wallpaper gets reset to stock. Seems like some kind of forced power cycle which ends up wiping data.

Hello everyone,
My G3 Beat (D722) randomly reboots at least once in a 2 day cycle. It reboots while I am using it, or just if it is lying on the desk. Yesterday it turned itself off, and the only way I could turn it on again was by removing the battery first. After it booted, the time and date setting were completely wrong. This morning I decided to manually restart it to see if it would go the day without restarting itself, but as soon as it booted, it restarted again
Android version: 4.4.2 rooted
Where must I start faultfinding the problem?
Thank you !
Boots to logo animation, freezes & the speaker makes a harsh hiss for .5 sec then off
Hi guys,
I've had no problems with my LG G3 since I got it.
I'm running stock 4.2.2 Kitkat, unlocked, bought from a retail store in Sydney (JB HiFi).
No rooting or anything else done to it.
My battery hasn't had any issues, still easily lasts the whole day.
The issue:
Today I pressed send on an SMS, the system froze for a few seconds, then powered off.
Pressing the power button did not turn it back on, so I pulled and replaced the battery and powered it on.
It starts booting, gets to the LG animation screen, it animation continues for a while, then freezes for a second and makes a loud/harsh hiss from the speaker for .5 sec then powers off.
Every time after it powers off I have to pull and replace the battery before I can power it back up
No water contact etc
What I've tried:
I've pulled the battery and left it out for 1/2 hour, then replaced the battery and powered it on, same issue dureing boot up
I've confirmed my battery is fully charged, and have tried powering it on while on battery
Removed the Micro SD card and tried to boot again, same boot issue
I've tried a factory reset, it starts to do the reset and then the same issue during boot up happens
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Update
So further to my original post:
After I left it off for about 5 hours I powered it back on and was able to complete the factory reset and boot into the Android OS and start using it again, after about 20 mins it froze up again and powered off
I took it to a phone repair shop and they advised they didn't think there was anything wrong with the hardware but was likely a LG OS software issue
Oh, and I should have posted 4.4.2 for the OS, not 4.2.2. Is Kitkat.
I'm wondering if I were to use LG software to update the OS to Android 5 if that might help? Or may make things worse...?
Upgrade didn't complete
So I tried to run the update through the LG software.
Got about 50% through and then the phone powered off again.
Subsequent retries don't even get that far, they get to about 2% and then the phone powers off.
Surely this is a hardware issue?
Ok, well, I've put it in for service...
Hi, so a week ago I had this weird problem with my phone. It would just freeze for like 2 minutes, work again for a minute and so on.
Did a hard reset, same problem.
Flashed that 6.0 KDZ, no success. The phone started but I was basically stuck at the lock screen, touchscreen was unresponsive, power menu kept showing up for no reason... couldn't even turn the phone off.
After that, I decided to stop ****ing around with it and send it to a repair store (no warranty). Today, after about 5 days, I picked it up and was told that they tried a ton of ROMs but they have no idea what's wrong with it.
Got home, ran a hard reset again and now I can't even get to the lock screen, phone is basically in a boot loop. LG logo shows up, the "Android is starting... Optimising apps" screen does its thing, restarts and keeps going like this forever.
Is there anything I can do or should I just throw the phone in the garbage and get another one? Any suggestion is appreciated, thanks!
Hi,
Same issue for 2 days...
My G3 was suddently slow and unresponsive so I removed the battery.
I put it back again, as usual, and start the phone. But it get stuck at the LG logo.
Sometimes the animated LG logo shows up, sometimes not.
Sometimes it displays the PIN screen (unresponsive or not), sometimes not.
Sometimes it boots totaly normaly (1% of time) and become unresponsive/buggy after a couple of minutes.
I tried flashing kdz (normal and CSE) 10 times, factory reset, change battery, without success...
Good luck.
Hello everyone.
My phone started having some issues.
When I try to turn it on, sometimes it starts booting, just for turning off a little later (it never went over the LG screen).
I don't even manage to open the recovery (I am using Fulmics ROM), even if the white screen appears sometimes.
If I remove the battery and charge it, the icon of "no battery" appears as long as it is charged.
I tried using another battery, but I experienced the same issues.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Many thanks!
