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.

Hello,
Recently my Nexus 7 (2013) battery ran out because I forgot to charge it. Since then, it won't boot back into Android when it's turned on - all I get is the black screen with "Google" written on it. I have searched all over the internet for the past few days, but I'm unable to find a solution. I'm hoping that someone here can help me, because the tablet's warranty has expired and I'm completely out of ideas. Here are the things I've tried or noticed:
I can't boot into Android. The tablet gets stuck on the black screen with "Google" written on it.
I can access the bootloader and interact with the tablet via fastboot.
The bootloader is locked. Trying to unlock it via fastboot oem unlock displays the "Unlock bootloader?" screen on the tablet. After I select "Yes", the command line output on the computer shows the following output, but doesn't get any further:
Code:
...
(bootloader) Unlocking bootloader...
(bootloader) erasing userdata...
Trying to boot into recovery mode from the bootloader results in the tablet being stuck on that black screen with "Google" written on it.
I have removed the back cover from the tablet and reconnected every exposed connector. I couldn't take the battery out because I don't have the appropriate screwdriver. Doing this changed nothing.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated. At this point I'm worried that it is a hardware issue, but I'd like to exhaust all options before declaring it as such, as it would essentially mean the tablet is going in the garbage bin.
How long did you let it sit at "erasing userdata"?
I don't recall specifically on my N7 but I know when I unlocked the bootloader on my 2013 Moto X it seemed like an eternity, which was mostly because there is no progress indicator, it just said "erasing userdata" and sat there for a while. Probably like 5-10 minutes.

Well that is surely too long. Not sure what else to suggest. Someone else with more experience might able to help.. It sounds like your partitions may have been messed up somehow, which I have seen others post about recently with the updates. I'm not sure what causes this or if there are any fixes, but I know there are threads about people being stuck on the Google screen and having issues after the update to 5.0/.1/.2.

Hi,
i had exactly the same problem. I tried everything to fix it and no luck. I had to resort in sending it to Asus for repair. Unfortunately my warranty has expired. I just got a quote from them saying the motherboard has gone and it will cost me £250 to repair!!!!! I almost fell off my chair. A brand new 32gb tablet will cost be around £180. This is surely a joke? I will be giving them a call tomorrow to complain!
I hope yours is still under warranty because it is most likely your motherboard that has gone. I've read a few others having the same issue and its been the motherboard.

Thank you for your response.
I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you. I've been reading around and guessed it's probably a hardware problem based on other people's similar experiences. Unfortunately my tablet is out of warranty as well, and I'm definitely not going to spend more on the repairs than I would on a brand new tablet. I regret purchasing the tablet in the first place, I really expected it to last longer than a year.
If you can, please let me know what ASUS says about this, if you intend to call them. They don't have a subsidiary in my country, but if you get lucky, I might press my chances as well and perhaps I can get this repaired for a reasonable price.
Mine has lasted 5 years more but my Nexus 7 has ended its days the same way as yours. Stuck at google when switched on, and stuck at bootloader when triying to flash it.
Time to go, it seems.
Hello everyone,
My phone has had weird behavior recently . It's suddenly started to turn off when I still have 30% of battery remaining. And then I plug in my phone to try to charge it, it shows 0%. It constantly repeats. I tried to battery calibrations apps and its methods but it doesn't work. Is my phone battery dead? Would someone give me some advice what I can do in a such situation?
The battery is dead go buy a new one make sure its geniune...

You see, I don't think that is it. I had the same issue this month and bought a brand new battery. The problem remains, 30%-35% of battery left and the smartphone turns off. Non-rooted, stock Android 6.0.
Any ideas folks?
Same problem here !
Hey man I'm having exactly the same problem as u and I still haven't found a fix. This prob first started when I upgraded to marshmallow. I bought another battery as well still its the same problem. So bro have u found any fix ?
I got the same problem on my phone, while playing Pokemon. I bought a new battery and problem solved. But I'm still on Lollipop.
Got the same issue, bought 2 new battery, still the same.
Brought back to shop. Got checked and turns out my motherboard has some issue with the battery IC.
Probably too much abuse (overheated quite a number of times, my bad)
Warranty over, quoted RM800 (USD200~) fix (Replace the whole motherboard). Decided not worth it as I bought it for RM1500 (390USD~).
not necessarily, you can try to heat the controlling system for pcb
You can still get a new MOBO for 60$. I got a 3/32gb one for 55$ and its working like a charm

Hi, just bought a second hand g4 with serial number starting 509 will the phone possibly bootloop? Also the phone is the Taiwan model and I currently live in the UK, will having the Taiwan model cause any problems? Thanks
It may Bootloop it may not. There is no definite answer. You may have problems with a non EU model in the EU. They may fix it or may not. You have to ask an LG service centre about this.

If you ask if 509 is prone to Bootloop issue I think it is. Most bootloops happened on 505 though but the general consensus is the newer G4 you have the less chances for bootloop. Again there is no definite answer. We do not know the dirty details. We don't know which S/N is safe and if LG fixed the problem and from which S/N and after they did. We purely rely on public reports to draw conclusions. Up until now 6xx seems safe with only 1 or 2 ppl reported a bootloop on Reddit. Just make a backup and keep your data on the SD card. If you get a bootloop contact LG. They seem to be aware of the issue and fixing all broken phones even out of warranty some times.

Thanks so much for the response!!! So do you recommend I return the phone as there is a risk of boot loop and the phone is from Taiwan so they may not fix it?

yes theres a high chance it may bootloop.. and no UK wont repair your phone.. you must shipped to the country you got it from .. i say return. and get a phone with 6xx serial number.. there less reports with those serial numbers..
maybe @jinderation can chime in... hear hes story.

I'm in the UK and have the same problem - a bootlooping TWN H815. It was purchased used last year, so no receipt or warranty card. I was wondering whether you had explored paying LG for an out-of-warranty repair? At this stage I'm looking at the best way of cutting my losses.

In US cost of repairs alone is 200US$ cuz of morherboard replacement either that or which u can get a used g4 at the same price so even if ur bootloops there is no point of fixing it....all i can say for u is to wait for atleast an year after the bootloop so the prices fall down for repairs....there is no way u can send it to taiwan also there is no warranty n recepit thats only even if u have a friend there...
Avoiding heat
Hi all am in same boat. Got a EU H815 an 506 hw1.0 and until a week ago had never heard about bootloop issue. I've had unlocked bootloader, rooted with custom ROMs nearly whole ownership and as a result have never had any heat up issues. After reading 100s of pages of the issue my conclusion is that it seems to be heat that affects a soldered component which eventually fails. So based on this theory I'm using Kernel Adiutor to control the throttling when CPU temp gets >55degc. It is only an educated guess but does seem logical. Hope it helps others

Seems like the issue calmed down over the winter in the northern hemisphere. And now that the summer is in full bloom people are looping like crazy. Im hoping between being almost as far north as one gets in usa. So like 85 far. Is blazing here. Plus me doing the thermal mod im keeping my device cool enough to make it as i have no waranty so a mb replacement costs me about 200 dollars american.
I have a s6 and a couple other mid range devices. I wont hesitate to toss my g4 in the trash. I got mine on a trade in from my g3 i only paid like 150 for my g4 so nope not me. Unless i get one cheap.
If this was an automobile this would be a recall i dont understand why these devices arent recalled.
I saw a news cast talking about how they make devices so cheap and breakable "for the economy" why would u buy the newest devices out if your old ones are running quite perfectly they say. So this is for economic reasoning. So go ahead lg keep making s****y devices i will buy a new one but not from you.
Yea i want a g5 but i wont give more that 100 bucks for it in the fear of failure.
Like i said keep it up lg seal your economic fate........

Hi, my G4 had bootloop recently, motherboard was changed under the warranty. New motherboard was made in 04/2018. Is it known if newer motherboards still have a bootloop issues?
I cannot found any relevant informations. Maybe because nobody already have this old phone

they are all bad as far as i know. And yes, nobody has this phone as its later revisions bootlooped after warranty and its more expensive to repair this piece of crap than what it is worth even after repairing.
I have my bootlooped G4 in a drawer since 1 year ago.
I have a phone that's never bootlooped

not yet brother. I'm really disappointed with this issue Is this happened to you after update to Android O? What did you try?
I don't know the fix for this. I just kept my phone is my drawer for a few months and when I took it out, it was fixed.
Although I did note 1 thing - The display had started to show white noise as soon as it became hot. I had to keep it on a cold plate to make it normal again. The only thing I can recommend is putting it in fridge or something and then turning it on. Listen to me at your own risk. I ain't no mobile fixer, but just a random guy.

That's literally the biggest no-no with electronics.
When you can't repair something on your own, you would usually seek out a person who can and, eventually, pay for the repair. You do not ask for possible solutions which you would probably not be able to perform on your own.

This certain advice is being given everywhere. (Even I'm a bit skeptical on this). On that repair thing- I literally asked every single repair guy in my local city and not a single one could fix it. This nexus had just become my tinkering toy so I had nothing to lose. If anyone still has the value for it, please take it to your repair guy.
I think this is the same issue that I have. I talked to Larry from India at Google. He had the same issue with his phone and LG was fixing the issue for his phone. He said it was a connector from the board to the screen.
So he hooked me up with LG. I talked to Holly and she sent me an label and repair under warr. They extended their normal warranty. LG previously fixed the bootloader issue by replacing the motherboard, so this issue may have been caused when they fixed the phone. May want to try contacting LG, see if it helps.
Hi, i have the same issue on my Nexus 5x. did you find any solution?
This is the second time happened to my Nexus 5X. but it fixed with no reason after about 3-4 days i put into drawer.
then this happen again since last night.
Did you try to clear the delvik cache or something via recovery mode?
sorry for bad english
