rebooting

Did the recent update.Several apps would randomly stop working and close. Then out of the blue the phone shuts off. I turn it on and it gets to the LG screen and verizon screen then reboots. I swapped the battery for the spare that is hardly used. Pulled out my sim card and memory card. Sometimes it will reboot other times it does say android is starting.... Optimizing app 1 of 277 apps then moves onto 77 apps. But then reboots.

Havent checked which software it is at yet but ended up just doing complete reset. (With phone off press and hold volume down and power together until a new screen pops up. You will see factory reset listed. Click that. It may reboot several times like mine did. If google did a backup of your settings and apps when you start to setup the phone again it will give you that option to restore it)

We shall see.

It's quite the blow to have to factory reset the phone, au5599. The time it takes to get your phone back how you had it can be a drain. We would certainly want updates on the progress after this reset. We are always here to support you.

Well no it didnt help. After finally getting it to do a factory reset I started to set up everything again. It reset a few times. I disabled almost all apps or deleted the ones I dont use. Then all of a sudden when signing into a second gmail account it again reset and continued again.

After trying to get it to do another factory reset for 2 hours it finally went through again. Right now it says Android is starting.....Optimizing app 206 of 224.

This was fine even after the android update In Feb. But it did another update recently and thats when I had this start.

There is no underlying hardware issue. It worked fine before the updates. It is a software issue and no it isn't under warranty all you had to do was look at my account and seen I got it in Sept 2014.

Either way you should replace it for free. These issues are not from me, apps or the phone itself. These are software issues from the software I had to install from you.

I did a complete factory reset again, with no apps installed. Disabled all the extra apps like Gmail, calendar, music, tv, book etc. Then left the phone on but plugged in. Then come back later and it is off and won't restart unless I pull the battery but then gets to the LG screen and shuts off.

It seems a lot if issues from others have come since this update. The phone was great the way it was. But you force these updates.

If this doesn't get fixed free soon you will lose me as a customer. Yes I did say free. If I broke it I would buy another. But I didn't. You forced these updates and that is the cause of it.

Sadly, never had these issues with Sprint...........

Likely a bad app that doesn't like the update. I would factory restore, make sure it is working, then start adding things back, but not all at once or else you just restore the bad app. Did you contact LG support, which is where the update came from?

And Sprint forums also have the same complaints about pushed firmware updates, so it is no different. Remember it comes from the manufacturer.

Likely not an app. More like bad software update
