I've bought this phone a little over a month ago from Metro PCS through the $100 promo and was liking it's useful features. However, like a week later, it started to randomly freeze almost daily for almsot a whole minute. It got so bad I couldn't use the phone at all and has to do a quick reeboot (Holding down Volume down and powerbutton). This worked the first few times to fix the freeze. One time for some reason when I tried to quick rebbot to revcover from a freeze the phone actually got stuck on the LG boot up screen :confused. It took me almsot 2 hours to get it back on and when I did it was freezing horribly and stuttering. I decided to do a factory reset to see if that fixed. It fixed the horrible stutters and frequent feeezes, but as of now I still have issues with random freezes. It'll freeze at the strangest times and annoys the heck out of me especially during YouTube binges. Is my "new" phone actually refurbished, or is this a software/hardware issue. Has anyone else expericed this?
my q7+ freezes all the time in games. some are unplayable because of it

Has anybody noticed occasional and pretty annoying lags with the phone? I have owned the phone from Saturday and haven't noticed any issues in the past couple of days. But this morning, noticed lag on several occasions, many for 10+ seconds.
Noticed lag:
- When trying to update gas price in the Gas buddy app: The whole phone froze and didn't come back up for 20+ seconds. Restarted the phone and everything went back to normal.
- When receiving a call when the phone was asleep: First, I couldn't swipe the 'answer' button. I tried the swipe action, but nothing was happening. After few tries, the answer button went to the right of the screen, but the call still didn't start. It was few seconds of agony before the call connected and I was able to talk.
- When trying to send a text message: Started typing the recipient's name, got list of names from the drop down and selected the recipient. The phone froze for 15 seconds at least. Tried to press the home button frantically did nothing for several seconds. Finally I was able to get to the home page.
- At this point, I killed all the apps and services from the task manager.
- Tried to send the text message and was able to reproduce the lag.
- Restarted the phone, no lags.
Earlier this morning, I enabled flash on a website for the first time and visited a flash intensive website. Not sure whether that has anything to do with the lags.
I tried evo 3d couple of times before giving up on it for good because of build issues in both the phones. I'm desperate to like this phone because I dread going back to TP2. Hope this is not a recurring issue.
ive never experienced ANY lag with this phone. And I consider myself a power user
I have experienced this on two occasions. I've had the phone since Friday. Once was before I rooted, the other after I rooted. I didn't have to reboot either time, just waited for about 30 seconds. Hasn't happened enough to see a pattern. But, the one after I rooted occurred while using Gas Buddy. Hmmm.
I don't know what's happened lately, but in the past few days my nexus has frozen during completely random tasks. Once while typing a message in google voice, once while browsing the web. It freezes, completely stops responding...nothing at all happens, then the screen turns off. It doesn't even reboot. And I cannot wake it up. I have to do a battery pull.
How can I find out what's causing this?
My issue is similar, but not the same.
My unlocked (but unrooted) GNex randomly turns off during use. I'll be listening to a podcast and browsing XDA, or listening to music and browsing the Market, and without warning, the phone will shut off instantaneously.
I don't need to pull the battery; it turns on normally by holding the power button. I've had absolutely zero problems with this phone, until this issue happened to me several times in the past week.
Not very optimistic about finding a solution. I'm gonna flash CM9 once it's completely stable and pray it wipes the slate clean.
Wow. Didn't see this thread. I posted above with similar problems.
Mine (LTE VZW 4.02) never did this the first week i had it, but since rooting via ODIN, it has randomly rebooted several times, in addition to completely dropping 3G a few times in the past week.
This is with a full stock but rooted/unlocked LTE GNex.
Stock rom and no modifications
I have similar experiences. First fiends complained that Im not at gtalk so either wlan or 3G had some problems. Few days later came random boots and after half a day the phone cant even boot more than few seconds to the bood animation.
After paying 650e for a phone I would like it to work more than 3 weeks. The pending repair.... .. I waited 1.5 months for my Nexus One. It broke almost as fast. How hard it is to make phone that just works?

I had similar freezing when I was stock rooted on 4.0.1. After flashing a custom rom on 4.0.3 more than a month ago, not only have i not had a single freeze but the multitasking button no longer lags (which was my biggest complaint)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I've had my G4 for a few months now, never had any problems until recently. The phone just freezes, sometimes just a 'normal' freeze, sometimes half of the screen turns to black/noise. Occassionaly it reboots on its own, but most of the time the power button doesn't respond and I have to take out the battery.
The freeze occurs at any given point, typing a text, being on FB, playing a game, ..
Last sunday I did a factory reset and everything worked perfectly fine until today..haven't installed any new apps or anything..
I hope someone can help me.
Cheers.
Now it's just freezing/restarting every two minutes or so..

maybe its abou to get the infamous bootloop.. need to send it to LG to fix.
Mine did that and went into the bootloop a couple of hours later. It now is at a LG partner for repair. Better safe all data you need right now, just to be safe.
Hello everyone, I just recently got a G3 and it was working fine for the 1st 2 days, no issues. I was sending a text to a friend earlier today and after it sent, it completely froze. After doing a soft reset it took forever to boot up. Once it booted up, it seemed to be fine. about an hour of operation, the screen looked as if it was freezing because it wasn't recognizing any of my touches. i decide to flip the phone sideways to see if it was actually frozen but it changed to landscape just fine. Sometimes it comes back to life then goes off again shortly after, and other times, i have to soft reset. I've tried the following to no avail.
Took the phone apart and cleaned both connectors.
Re-flashing the rom.
Trying 4 other roms.
Returned to lollipop stock.
I can't figure this out for the life to me and worked my ass of to be able to buy this phone. Any help would be appreciated as I can't afford to spend any more money on it!
I also have this issue, it's been ongoing for a few weeks. There will be short periods where it can work just fine, then it just freezes up and does not register any inputs. The content on the screen continues to run as if nothing happened (videos and games keep playing). Turning the screen off, waiting a couple minutes, then turning it on can sometimes give me another minute of use until it freezes up again. Also of note, when the screen is unresponsive and I press the power, it will dim to very low levels for a few seconds before going fully black. When the screen is being responsive and I press the power, it goes straight to black, as is normal and expected. From my testing, I've concluded:
1. This issue is not app dependent. It can occur at any time, and is not caused by alarms or overlays, such as blue light filters.
2. The issue is not from the specific battery I use. I've switched out between multiple batteries and used different chargers, none seem to affect the frequency of freezes.
3. Temperature may have something to do with this. When waking the phone after it's been sitting out in the cold, there seems to be a higher likelihood that it will be unresponsive. This is not always the case, which makes concluding that the issue is hardware related difficult, but some correlation seems to exist.
4. This issue started occurring shortly before I began having the popular "SIM Card Removed" issue, which I've yet to resolve (though can sometimes get the SIM card to work)
I am running stock 6.0 D85030p AT&T. I will post here again if I figure something out, but I have been trying for weeks without much success.
Hi there, first of all I've seen some other threads which kind of have the same problem but not quite. So here is my problem my touch screen isn't responding most of the time, it started happening like a week ago when it froze while trying to send a picture in messenger, after 1-2 reboots it started working again but after that the same thing happened while I was typing in messenger, so I thought it might be software problem and made hard reset and installed new stock android(that didn't help). The last couple of days most of the time it's not working and I'm using it with a mouse, but there are periods when it works for some time. I've entered the hidden menu(without updating the touch firmware because I saw that it might kill it for good) to try and test it and had 2 different results
- The touch screen firmware version on my phone is -1
- And the one from the photos that I've attached(obviously during this one it actually worked for a couple of minutes)
Something else I've noticed while the touch isn't working when I turn off the screen from the power button first it dims the light for 2 seconds before really turning off.
Other things that I've tried are changing kernel, opening the back of the phone and reconnecting the screen to the motherboard(which helped the first time and it worked for 1 day or so but doesn't help since then) .
There is one more strange thing for some time now may be 3-4 months the phone has problems connecting to WiFi)
And one last thing after the screen problem the phone started booting quite slow some times and showing "Process System Not Responding'"
The phone is running on Stock V30b MM and hasn't been dropped for a long time
The problem is that I don't know is it software problem, screen problem or motherboard so any Ideas will be appreciated.
