So, a few weeks ago my phone started randomly saying that my Sim Card wasn't installed. I think nothing of it and just restart my phone each time. Then, the night after that started happening, I was laying in bed at like 8 pm, and my phone starts playing this random ass 80's song I've never heard in my life. The second I turned my screen on, it stopped.. So I went in and uninstalled literally every app that wasn't essential. I also checked to see if I had any processes running that could've caused it. Nothing. A few days later, sometime in the middle of the day, it starts playing ANOTHER random song. But this one was spooky as **** sounding. Samething happened, stopped as soon as I opened my screen.
Skip 2-3 weeks to today, nothing has happened, no sim card error, no music.. my phone is working as normal, I'm out riding on my motorcycle with my phone mounted on it. I decide to stop and turn on some music (connected to my Bluetooth headset) and the second I unlock the device, it freezes up. So I start just pressing the screen, trying to swipe. Then it says "Google App process has stopped responding" (or something along those lines), then says "System process has stopped responding". So I hit the power button, the screen turns off but it won't turn back on. I finally take the battery out and put it back in. I boot it up and I notice it says "Custom" and has a unlocked symbol underneath it. My phone seems to be working fine now, but what the **** is going on.
Halp
I'm just doing a full wipe when I get home. I feel as if my phone may have been compromised.

i use AuraxTSense 8.0 with matching kernel and radio. Today I tried to "fix Permissions" using the ROM manager app since my friend brought it up. about 3/4 ways through it said there was an error and could no longer continue with the process. So i just exited the process and decided to just restart my phone, when i turned it on i no longer had any contacts, on my text messaging app it only showed the numbers of the people i was texting and when i went to my contacts it kept loading non stop. I then did a TitaniumBackup and after that restored a backup that i had done 2 days before. I went upstairs when the phone was restoring and when i came back downstairs i found the screen off, and it was vibrating nonstop. i immediately removed the battery and put it in again. when i did that it started the vibrating again. i waited 5 minutes with the battery out and decided to put it back in. it did not vibrate this time and is showing that it is charging. i am yet to turn the phone on but are these signs that the phone is bricked?
Thank You.
Turn it on and find out
Recently my Captivate glide has been having many issues. Originally it started when my phone would just randomly turn off for no reason, I attributed this to overheating and figured maybe it was a normal thing. Eventually it got to the point where the battery would hold no charge and I could not power on the phone. I replaced the battery after noticing that it was swollen and this seemingly fixed the issue. Though after a week or so I noticed there were still a few problems with it in regards to it going off randomly and coming back on but nothing major. Last week though I was at the gym and it dropped from my pocket I picked it up, put it back on but a few seconds later it turned off again. I just figured it needed to charge. I tried later to turn it back on that's when I noticed that the phone would keep randomly going on and off constantly and the lock button no longer worked when it was on so the only way to unlock it was to slide it out. I figured it was just a matter of replacing the button but it got worst and now the phone wont stay on, It comes on for a second, boots up then turns off, the battery has 0% at all times and even if it's on the charger and shows the charging icon, it won't stay on. For the few minutes that it is on for, the lock function spasms and the phone keeps locking and unlocking itself, eventually showing the lock button menu then finally going off and coming back on. I gave the phone to my friend to check out as he fixes a lot of phone, he took it apart but there was no damage to the button or anything holding it down that would cause the problem, he used a tester to test it and found that it was working fine. He thinks it might just be a software issue and suggested I reinstall the OS. Does anyone have any insight as to what might be the problem and a solution?
TL;DR Lock button on phone acts as if it's constantly being pressed and won't remain on for longer than a few minutes and even when it is on, just keeps locking and unlocking itself before shutting off.
So, my 3 yr old was watching what does the fox say videos on my i317, (yes that's the first problem, I know) and he apparently did something to my phone, but I have no idea what he could have done to get this to happen. The phone doesn't boot loop, it actually boots up just fine and gives me the 'apps upgrading' notification and then continues to my lock screen. Sometimes I am able to get past the lock screen and my notifications start popping up then the phone will auto reboot. It just does this over and over again. So I popped out the battery and put my backup in. Used my backup for about 2 days before getting sick of the phone shutting down at 25%. I believe this battery issue was caused by falling asleep on top of my phone while it was plugged in and screen on for about 6 hours.....verrryyyy hot when I pulled the battery after this. Anyhow the phone acted fine except for it shutting off when it's showing a fairly high percentage. So today, I pop that battery out and put the good one back in and the phone started doing this...for lack of a better term....reboot loop again!!! How can the battery replacement put the phone back into whatever state of error it was in?!?! Bottom line is, what does the fox say will kill your devices and Ylvis are the spawn of satan.

Could it be the batteries aren't connecting to the terminals tightly?
Hello there. I have to write this again becuase the last topic I wrote didnt get posted...
I have a big problem with my G3 and I have tried everything I could but nothing helped so I hope you can help me.
First of all my phone is only stock. I didnt try rooting it or installing custom roms on it.
Heres the whole story of what happened:
A week ago my phone started to act strangely. When I tried turning the wifi off it restarted or froze for a bit and then went on normaly as if nothing happened. I didnt even have to input my pin. Then one day I got home and the phone simply started reseting itself constantly. Always loaded up to the pin screen but I didnt even have time to input the pin and it reset it self again. This went on for like 15 reset before I lost patience and pulled the battery which didnt help at all since after being turned back on it went back to the reseting. I found online that it was probably a battery problem but I was impatient (shipping to my country is over 2 weeks and buying a battery in stores here costs twice the normal price of a genuine battery but only for a "fake" battery) so I factory reseted it via power button+volume down. After that it worked normally but I lost all my data.
The day after this I spilled ice tea on the phone. I opened it, cleaned it and let it dry out. Turned it on after an hour of drying and it worked but after maybe 2 hours it began freezing. When I tapped on the screen it didnt react, when I pressed the power button it took more then 10 seconds to react to it. It turned on, didnt react to touch and then in mere seconds it went dark and then turned off. I couldnt even unlock the screen. Tried pulling the battery but then it wouldnt even turn on. It stayed on the LG logo. I left it on the logo and on the charger and after an hour or so it turned on and worked normally so I took it apart and cleaned it once more even under the screws and such and it worked after that. Until today.
The freezing problem returned. I was playing a game on it and chatting via messenger when the phone stopped reacting. I had signal, wifi, I got new notifications and basically everything on it worked but the screen didnt react to touch and when pressing the power button it took over 10 seconds to light up the screen, then it went darker and then it shut down. Couldnt do anything. After I pulled the battery it would get stuck in a boot loop for maybe 10-15 minutes and then load but the phone couldnt be used. Just as before the screen turned on with a delay but no reaction to touch whatsoever.
I tried factory reset, downgrading to a lower android version (from 6 to 4) with LGUP and lg flash tool, and I bought a new battery. Nothing worked. I managed to get it to android 4 but that didnt help either. I though it was a problem with 6 because the problem started after the update, before that I didnt have a single problem with my phone.
Now its in a state where it doesnt work. The phone is running, apps are upgrading after the factory reset and all that but I cant do anything with it. Once in a while it will work normally as if nothing but that is rare.
Could you please help ? I love this phone and I dont want to have to sell it for spare parts.
EDIT: I left the phone running to see what would happen an after several hours an error message appeared saying "Process system isnt responding". After pressing ok it worked fine. How can I fix this. I googled it but all I found was a problem with sd card (none is inside), with battery (I have a new one) and with rooting (mines not rooted).
The thing is becoming increasingly unresponsive when something tries to wake it from deep sleep. A few weeks back someone tried to call me, and the screen turned on and flashed the dialer app, but the touchscreen was unresponsive. I'd click "Answer" and it wouldn't register. Clicking it repeatedly, clicking anywhere on the screen, trying to turn the screen off and on, nothing would work. The phone basically froze, only not exactly, because the sound was still playing. Like a minute later, I held the power button down and got the shutdown pop-up which seemed to rouse it out of whatever infinite loop it was stuck in.
This morning, it happened again when my alarm went off. I could not get the damn thing to stop. It happened again an hour later. When I tried to hold down the power button, the phone reset.
When it came back on, a bunch of my settings had been reset. It reverted to the default keyboard and started showing me tutorials like it thought this was my first time powering on the phone. Additionally, the System Updates menu shows I'm on the latest version, but all history of past updates has been wiped out.
I'm getting really concerned that this thing is gonna die on me any day now.

How about factory resetting the phone, starting from scratch re the software installed? Yes, you'll need to reinstall your apps and reconfigure it, but it's like starting fresh. If it still malfunctions, then you can look deeper.

Thanks for the advice, but I ended up grabbing a Galaxy S8+ off a friend for very cheap. So, not really an issue anymore.
