Hi all,
I recently sent my GN (Running 4.0.2 stock, yakju build) back to be repaired because my phones wifi stopped working. what happens is that the phone's wifi seems be stuck "turning on", but never actually does. No wifi icon or anything appears. wifi hotspot doesnt work either. I had my GN from about a week after it was released (I'm in australia so that was about the 22nd December), and around the 15th January is stopped working. This issue cannot be fixed with a reboot, a hard reset, flashing stock roms, toggling airplane mode or anything trivial like that, as I (and others) have tried.
Now i have searched a while on google while i have been without my phone and I'm finding this problem is surfacing for other people too. From what i have seen there seems to be a correlation between 4.0.2 and this issue. Also, it seems to happen some time into the phones life; they do not have this issue when first purchased. I am concerned that this may be a recurring issue which surfaces over time, due to a design flaw or some sort of software issue. If so, this problem will start affecting a lot more people. If anyone who reads this has the same problem, could you please post when it started occuring and what rom, build etc (and anything else which may be helpful) you are running so we can shed a little light on this issue. which many more users i am sure will experience. cheers in advance
just incase anyone actually reads this Galaxy Nexus was sent back, and it was found that the printed ciruit board (PCB) needed replacing. More forums have surfaced since i last checked up on this problem so numbers are slowly rising. Once again, post here if you get the issue, we need numbers
Hi same issue i have butni solve i am living in turkey and i use habertürk news and i saw this application make notification wifi turning om.i reset my phone i load factory firmware but nothing happen ...always say wifi turning on...you need to change your system language another still write wifi turning on on screen in eglish and a application cause to this like my haberturk app

same problem
Hi,
i had the same problem, wifi mac info was not showing anymore on the Nexus. Reboot and factory reset didn't help. Wifi wouldn't come on anymore.
Ask for a replacement, that's the only thing you can do
Can i ask what version of android you guys had? I'm wondering if this is going to be a recurring problem with hardware due to software issues or if it is purely a design flaw (PCB burning out, etc..) Cheers!
I have the same problem which happened last Saturday and it frustrated the hell out of me, i flashed to different versions of OS....didnt help...
restored to factory firmware and didnt backup the pictures and stuff on the phone!! (FML)
and brought it in to Fido on monday to have it serviced....
talking about bad luck...sigh....
they told me the turn around time is 10-15 business days... (N)
will report back once i hear from them
Before the issue happened, did your phone have any other issues? Say heating up while charging or running the WiFi?
I received a device in for repair with this issue and the customer reported it got really hot before the issue started happening. Everything looked fine on the motherboard - the WiFi antennas were intact. Reloading the software did nothing which means it's a hardware issue..
So very strange. I wonder what's causing this.
i remember when my wifi stopped working i was running 4.0.2. I was actually on holidays in Japan at the time and i was wifi hopping quite a lot around the airport (i was walking around and the wifi would go out of range, latch on again... etc) not sure if that had anything to do with it. Hopped on the plane home and i remember i was on airplane mode using an app called colornote. the phone hung pretty hard and i had to pull the battery. rebooted and tried again and after 10 mins, phone crashed again doing the same thing. Got home and the wifi wasnt working. Not sure if any of this had anything to do with it, but maybe. Didnt notice any overheating, but then again i was around snow haha
hi mrmiklepower
just wondering if your phone has been good since you got it back from repair?
i noticed the phone would reboot itself over and over again after i flashed it back to the stock rom. I just called the third party repair shop that my carrier sent the phone to, they told me its still being fixed.
Oh i hope they will return me my phone soon.
My phone is actually still being repaired also. It's been a total of 2 months since i sent if back! they contacted me and all i know so far is that the phones PCD needed replacing. when my phone arrives i will update as soon as i can. should receive it sometime this week, but its not certain. the majority of my ownership of this phone has been me waiting for its return
Holy mother of lord...
I actually called the third party repair shop that my carrier uses to check on the status of the repair. And they told me its actually In quality control which means the problem was fixed and they're just testing it before they send it back to the store where I brought the phone too. Hoping they'll send it in on Monday so I can either pick it up on the day of or the next day.....keeping my fingers crossed.
Will keep you posted on the status of it too.
Sigh
Ok I got my phone back today.
on the reference sheet I got from the repair shop
it states REPLACED PBA, BGA Failure
I looked it up online and PBA means Printed Board Assembly
which probably means the motherboard was defective and had to be replaced.
and now the phone is working fine. So i guess when this phone was made, there were some flaws with the motherboard on it, thus causing this problem.
Anyways, I hope this information helps with others who experience the same problem
Thanks for letting us know! O got mine back today with the same thing. So looks like there is no way of fixing besides sending it back. Good luck to anyone else who gets this problem

So it seems there's no fix for this?
I've been doing some research and it doesn't seem anyone can fix this.. I tried reflashing, wiping every possible thing, etc.. even flashing the stock software via odin. Still no luck.. It seems that we are indeed stuck with sending it back in for a supposedly defective part which seriously blows.
My other question is.. you guys who already received your phones back, did anyone end up with the problem again?
PLEASE if anyone knows how to fix this.. chime in!!!
I had an issue similar to that with my transformer and to fix it I just flash a new kernel im not sure itwill fix the problem for you but it's worth a try

Since getting my phone back the problem has not occurred again. I don't think there is anything that can be done as a component needed to be changed apparently. Good luck :/

Thanks, when returning to stock it flashes a new kernel. Also tried it again for the hell of it with faux's kernel, still no luck .
This sucks! This very same thing happened to me yesterday! I Odined back to stock.. no luck! Now after finding this thread, it looks like a hardware issue! That blows! I'll have to give Sprint a call tomorrow!
Hmm sucks to hear it's still cropping up around the place, I heard someone say this issue entered quality control. But anyway, if it helps I've had my phone back for about a month and a bit and its still going strong. hopefully it doesn't happen again though. good luck, hopefully it won't take too long for your phone to come back!
Hi,
I'm with Telus in Canada and had the exact same problem and had my GN repaired. It took only 2 weeks and I just got my unit back. I had already read a lot online about this issue so I asked the Telus rep to tell me what the issue was. She told me that the report states that the board was replaced. This is definitely a hardware problem. I'm hoping that the new board doesn't have this problem and my phone won't need to be repaired again,
I run 4.0.1 on my phone. Telus hasn't released an update yet. I was going to update mine by switching to yakju, but that's when I noticed that the wifi is not working and I thought it's not a good idea to change the stock ROM.
Hello guys i've been seeing a lot of boot loop news and lg starting to refund people because they don't have spare parts : http://www.mobilechoiceuk.com/News/...offering-refunds-instead-of-replacements.aspx .
So should I be worried that my 5x will boot loop ? I've been using it for 2 months now on 7.0 september update .
just yesterday happened to mine!
Did you try to fix it or got it refunded under warranty ? Also rooted or stock with update ?
Hi, i guess that nobody could know that, but the problem seems to be the same as LG G4, LG V10, LG Flex 2 (all 2015 devices with almost the same motherboard that the Nexus 5x). You can search on the web "bootloop G4 reddit" "nexus 5x bootloop reddit" and you will find tons of reports, the majority of them (N5x) from last 3 months, and this holds the theory that is a welding issue on the CPU or sometimes on the EMMC chip (apparently LG did not weld very well that year...). The mentioned devices (included ours) seem to last from 9 to 14 months and finally the welding breaks. But now, we know it's strictly a HARDWARE issue NOT caused by 7.0 upgrade, irt's only a question of coincidence between the useful life of the weld and the launch of the 7.0 OTA.
So we all got very high possibilities that this occurs to our devices, eventually. I'm not sure that this is gonna happen to you, it really dependes of many many many factors (heavy usage, kernel profiles, temperature of your country/city/house/workplace, etc etc).
Maybe it never happens to you, but i know what you feel, is not very nice to feel that your phone could die in any moment. It was a low punch for me (i owned a G4 and it bootlooped twice) anyway i am going to sell my N5x due to this problem. Hope i help you with my point of view.
It is solder not weld.
Only Google/LG know how widespread the problem is on 5x.
My guess is it is far more than normally expected for phones but nowhere near as prevalent as posts on forums might make it seem.
So normally you might expect .01% of these types of solder problems. If the problem went up 100x to 1% and you sold 3m phones, that means 30,000 phones with the problem, whereas before you might only see 300.
30,000 people searching google and seeing other people posting about bootloop can start a panic.
If you actually had 10, 20, 30% of people with this problem you would have huge threads.
That's just my opinion.

If you said "It is solder not weld." for me, thanks i didn't know the correct word, english is not my native language (I only learn reading on forums), so i see that you know (or it seems) about solder problems. Look i had two LG G4 both of them die, but not just mine even a cousin had the same issue whit his G4, so i really want to know if you think that the 5x soldering problem is a similar case of high-end 2015 LG Phones G4/V10/FLEX2 (of that magnitude)? or if it's just a "paranoia", i mean we know that the bootlooping issue on this device exists but you would recommend me (i really like this phone) to keep it?
This issue got me really worried due to my bad experiencie with the G4. I just bought the N5x 1 month ago. thank you.
same question how to know if my phone will bootloop...i have my nexus 5x 5 week ago but i bay it not new i bay it used...i upgrade to android nougat no issus right now..ho to know if i will have a probleme in the future iam afraid now

I've been dealing with substandard solder since xbox RROD (red ring of death) where everyone was trying to get their xbox cpu reballed until microsoft admitted the problem.
As I mentioned, I'm sure the incident on 5x is much higher than normal phones, but that might still be a low % (even though it is a relatively high absolute # because of the # of phones that are sold)
I have no idea whether 5x is worse, better, or same as G4 problem. G4 seemed even higher, but could be because more phones were sold. Only LG knows for sure.
A lot of folks in US are finding that their credit card actually extends their warranty beyond manufacturers warranty and people will probably get their money back that way if all else fails.
Of course that doesn't help you if you are traveling and the phone dies. I end up using Google Fi as the service provider for this phone, so if that happened I could just shift all the calls and texts to another phone or tablet and keep going until I get a replacement phone, so I'm not super worried.
I regularly back up the stuff on my phone so the most I would lose is like 1 or 2 days of stuff, which I can deal with.
Personally I wouldn't be super worried this is going to happen to you, but be prepared with backups in case it does, but that is good practice for any phone, because it could always get stolen or drop and break.

Well from what I know if you don't have warranty paper then you can't get warranty by just showing the phone . Its not a 100% chance that it will boot loop I think , but if your not safe with it I suggest selling it working rather than looking for help when broken . Thats just my point of view .

Well I think i have the same point of view to sell the phone working rather that having a paper holder . At least for me its the most logical thing to do maybe the chance isn't high for it to happen but I am not secure with a tought that my phone could die + im a heavy user so i migh make it to the boot loop faster .

Hi all,
so here is my problem.
Day before yesterday i had a perfectly working LG g4 H815 model with s/n 511 running on firmware v20h, when i decided to root it and install some mods.
so i flashed TWRP, installed xposed and xtrememusic mod. the phone booted normally after installing these. i didn't install any modules under xposed. the phone worked perfectly for two days. however today morning it hanged while taking photo with the camera app. when restarting it got stuck at LG logo for long time. My brother(who doesn't have any technical knowledge) pulled out the battery and restarted. Again it got stuck at LG logo. thinking somthing wrong he again repeated this only to find that it didn't power on at all this time. No LG logo no notofication light nothing.
Tried charging it(although battery was aroung 60-70%), pressing power button removing the battery. still nothing. the phone is not at all powering up.
However when i connect it with USB cable with laptop, laptop makes sound of getting usb connection detected. i took it to a service centre.
the technical guy there told that IC may have been faulty. he told me that motherboard needs to be replaced. however unofficially he may try heating the IC to get it booting.
What should i do now? Is the IC really fried. had the rooting and installing mod caused it?
Please help.
PS- the phone is imported and cannot be sent back for warranty purpose.
I think you are experiencing the dreaded LG G4 bootloop. I don't think rooting or modding caused a software problem. It "may" have caused a hardware problem simply because it generated enough heat to loosen the IC that little bit that initiates the problems you are describing. I rooted and installed the stock image in Nov 2015. Two weeks ago the phone froze - restarted and then could not be booted. LG sent me a Fedex label and I sent it off. Ten days later I received the same phone back. I assume they replaced the mainboard.
You should contact LG directly. I saw a class action suit that was called off because it appeared that LG will fix this particular problem (failed mainboard) out of warranty. Anyone please correct me on this if I'm wrong.

Hi thanks for the help.
But isn't the dreaded bootloop is that where the phone is stuck at the LG logo. Mine isn't booting at all. And the bootloop problem is due to big cores or such and not due to ic?
Mine wouldn't start at all - it bootlooped once for about a split second - then it was dead
Same is the problem with me. Bootlooped twice and then its completely dead. I have tried contacting Lg UK. Lets see what they say.
Ok so i got a reply from LG and they suggested me some steps to take (which are obviously not useful as it is completely dead). however they have also told me that they are willing to help me and asked me about details of purchase etc and "whether it was rooted".
so what should i reply rooted or not? will they detect it as it is dead.

Sorry to be late on reply. I advise to not answer question whether phone was rooted. Here is my reasoning:
1. This problem is widely occuring - only a tiny percentage of people root their phones therefore question is irrelevant.
2. The problem is known to be that an IC becomes loose most likely due to heat - a better question would be - do you place the phone on a hot dashboard with GPS running while you are charging?

thanks for the reply (although late). i have already sent the phone to LG replying as no root. Lets hope they repair it without any problems.
second i didnt do anything of anysort like placing on hot dashboard or such. one day while opening the camera app it decided to just hang and later on die on me.
I hope you didn't think I was saying you might have done something that would overheat your phone such as my second example. I was trying to come up with an example reason the IC loosens. Even if you did that the phone should survive such conditions. Let's hope the replacement motherboards somehow do better. My guess is that the soldering job is fine, the problem is probably bad design that doesn't "vent" the heat from chip.

so what do you suggest after repair should i keep it or sell it? Lg g4 is no doubt the best phone when considering the value for money. no phone even twice in price comes close in camera and screen quality especially. but the unreliability of this phone has made me to consider selling it as soon as i get it back.
I'd keep it if your new board is high serial

Well my old board was also high serial, beginning with 511
I'm going to take my chances - it's a great phone until it bootloops. I'm going to avoid scenarios best I can that could result in the phone heating up inside. That would be charging only if absolutely necessary while in my ProClip dash mount if the car is hot, using backup battery after depletion instead of charging more often etc. Thinking back I rarely put the phone into heat inducing situations - normal use results in the IC becoming loose at the 1 year mark. If mine bootloops exactly a year from now and LG fixes it again I'm an LG fan. If they blow me off no more LG.
I really regret not paying it off early and taking the $15/month deal for an S7 Edge last month

Hey guys,
I'm having some serious trouble with my LG G3... I'm running the latest update for stock and now all of a sudden I'm stuck in something like a bootloop.
Sometimes it reaches the SIM PIN screen and then reboots, but most of the time it doesn't even make it there.
The last time I got to the PIN screen I could record a log (the last part of it is attached).
Can anyone see what's wrong from the log?
Ah, btw I have TWRP installed.
Best regards,
Arma
Hi there,
Same issue here, hope to find an answer!
I returned to stock and the problem still exists.
How old is the phone?
Did the bootloop occur out of nothing, or was it right after you updated?

It started as a reboot only when I opened google maps and then at some point it restarted constantly.
I had the system running for quite a while. The phone is now about 9 months old.

Did you get it new or second hand?
It's quite possible that unfortunately you got the bootloop issue that's caused by overheating the motherboard.
There are fix guides around the forum, you should add a thermal pad to the SoC chip.

It was new, but overheating sounds possible because it got quite hot many times without any reason.

Well maybe the phone was refurbished or you were really unlucky. Maybe the issue is somewhere else, but this bootlooping is quite common with the G3 and some other LG phones (just look at the threads around the forum) and it's a hardware issue. It has the symptoms just like the ones you're describing, so I'm fairly certain that's the problem.
Try another battery. Use geniune battery.
And if did no help then heat soc with hair drier and add thermal pad or somthing thin from metal.
hello,
I had this problem in the past, you could fix it with a hairdrayer and a thermal pad. After that, install a linageos ( because it's lite and much rapid than stock), then downclock your CPU to 1 GHz and your GPU to 200 MHz.
This should fix your problem for a while ( 2 to 3 weaks ) and repet the same manipulations until the smartphone dies.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/ill-buy-lg-smartphones-t3524127
I suggest to launch a boycott campaign against LG,
Because they know that their smartphones have this problem but they sell them even as. I lost 200$ on a g3 and 450 on a V20 !

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.
