Hello guys, this thread is for you all to share your experience of dealing with your LG G3 problems, including software or hardware
Whether the problem is critical or not, or even just a tip, they're all welcome!
You can post your ideas now, they can help many people!
If you think your phone with stock rom is glitchy or reboots and hangs randomly, this can help!
Solution
First, boot to recovery and factory reset your phone.
Second, boot back to os, then SET THE DATE TO 2014, and about the date when LG g3 was released.
Do not connect the phone to the internet or do not let the phone knows the current time and date.
Third, please root and install a custom rom ASAP, like lineageOs, NOT stock rom based.
What is planned obsolescence? And why it's related to these problems?
Planned Obsolescence is extremely prevalent in smartphones. Phone companies such as LG, wanted their customers to stop using their phones after warranties, and buy a new phone so they can earn more interest. Therefore they embed software "time bomb" in android phones(usually embed in the stock ROM)These were counting down to the right time after a few weeks of warranty, then your phone would start doing "suicide"(causing problems and damaging itself) resulting lag, freezes, random reboot, bootloops, and even bricked at last.
In the solution, it intercepted that "time bomb", so it will think the phone is still in warranty and stop causing problems to your phone.
This solution can also WORK ON OTHER devices.
Before my stock rom android 4.4 LG G3 F400S had a constant reboot, so I reset it, set the date to 2014/9/12, and installed lineage os 18.1 on it. Everything works again, or even better.
Please share this to everyone, I bet this can help many people and most of them don't know it. Thx

I haven't rooted or made any kinds of major adjustments but still there will be times when it will randoms just restart for reason I'm unaware of. What can I do to track down the reasons for the restart?
On a side note: really considering rooting since it doesn't seem like this tablet is going to get marshmallow. What roms are out there that have good support and still allow me to use the S-Pen?
I don't know how to track down but how about flashing stock 5.1 rom with odin?
Maybe it can solve the problem
So i've already searched for this problem but i couldn't find anything. This tablet belongs to my grand parents. They only do simple things on this tablet such as solitaire, browse internet or watch the weater. Since 11 days they have a problem with random restarts of the tablet. I don't know if it is related to the battery connector on the mobo but i haven't seen the issue yet because it occurs randomly. I am experienced with installing roms and rooting but couldn't find a way on how to downgrade this tablet to lollipop. Is this a possible hardware failure or do i need to downgrade?

Had similar, reinstall after full wipe seems to have solved random reboot.
Ok, i will Factory reset it and then Flash the Stock rom with Odin and post my results when i have time. Thank you.
I have just reinstalled touchwiz via kies 3's firmware upgrade. First time went bad because of the cable. Second time went good and i will be giving the tablet to my grand parents as soon as i can. Will reply when fixed or still occuring.
and if everything fail, check the battery connections
So I have a T-Mobile LG G4 that like every other G4 had the bootloop problem when I got it. I sent it to LG and they promptly fixed the issue. My current issue has nothing to do with the bootloop I believe.
Because the G4 wasn't getting the Android N update fast enough and also because I wanted to play around with Android's full potential, I decided to root the phone a little over two weeks ago. The process worked and I decided to install a custom ROM. That also worked. I have installed four or five custom ROMs built on Android 7.1 without issue, or at least without any major issue.
However last night I decided to flash Genysis ROM on Android 6.0 because I wanted to play with Xposed. I made a full Nandroid backup of the CRdroid ROM it had been running and then wiped and flashed it using TWRP. When I installed the ROM it didn't work for whatever reason, freezing up and frequently becoming unresponsive. Over about 30 minutes I managed to enable USB debugging and reboot it to recovery (why I didn't shut factory wipe it from bios I'm not sure).
Now any ROM I try to install doesn't boot up. It never gets past the OS loading screen with the ROM logo. On 6.0 ROMs it says it has optimized the apps but gets stuck on starting them. The Nandroid backup I made does the same thing, even ones I made early that day and one from several days ago.
The backups had that one app installed that shows the logcat while booting up and while I'm no expert it seems to get a loop loading the audio drivers. I don't know if that's the cause or if it's just coincidental, as I've never heard of audio drivers preventing a boot, albeit my experience is with Windows PCs.
If it would help I can attempt to take a picture of the screen while stuck, although the text moves very fast. I can access the TWRP recovery just fine but don't know how to/if you can dump logs.
Any help would be much appreciated! I can attempt to supply an information that may be needed as well.

why not start from 0 and flash latest KDZ with LGUP.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/h811-kdz-file-t3607807
For sure I'll try that. I'll let you know if it works, thanks!
Follow up- I eventually found the free time to work on this and flashing the kdz worked! I actually had to use LG Bridge as LGUP only found my device as unknown.
Thanks for the help! Back to flashing ROMs for me.
Hello everyone, so I'm having a hard time with my G3, I do not know if I was drawn .. or it could be something else, plus the fact and that, I got a LG G3 recently, and since then I'm trying to install a custom room other than Stock, so I'm having an error, after I install any room, my device is in bootloop, I reinstalled the factory system, via KDZ, I practically tested all that are possible to perform root access, but without success, the only ROM I can install and Tekcafe, that at some point, time restarts the device, or heats the same one more than normal.
I did a very intense search, and I could not find a probable cause for this problem. I ask for your help.
current device information
this is with Tekcafe 5.5, the wifi and bluetooth does not work, (I believe it is a physical problem) battery is not problem, I did not notice any other error that could cause such problem.
Remembering, I tried to change the file extension from ext4 to f2fs, even without success.
I tried installing lineage the 15, Crdroid, and ..
I am very grateful if anyone can help me with this problem.:crying::crying::crying::crying:
So about a few years ago, I tried to root my galaxy note 4 (n910aucu2doi3), but I guess it rejected the root because it instantly bricked my phone, to the point where I had to completely wipe it using android recovery. The only way to get my operating system back was to download it online and install it through my PC (I had to find the exact version for my phone as well, 5.1.1 at the time, because it rejected every single other version).
Everything seemed to be working fine, except that I couldn't install software updates on my phone anymore. It was permanently stuck on 5.1.1. It was a bit of an annoyance but I didn't think much of it at the time.
Fast forward to now, and I'm getting several signs that my OS may be corrupted. My phone is constantly freezing, crashing and restarting. Maneuvering through applications causes the phone to freeze for a few seconds before either restarting or crashing the app. I want to say it's definitely a software issue, but I did install a new battery recently and it was working fine for a few weeks, could that be the issue?
If not, I want to start over, but I'm not sure how, and I don't know if it's safe to do a factory reset on this OS. Is there anyway I can get a fresh stock version of an android OS that can also update?
Any help is appreciated, I'm pretty much desperate.
I manually updated to 6.0.1 with the help of this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/updates-thread-t3663943
It seems to have fixed the issues so far, and my phone can automatically update again
