Lg g2 issues in the past week......???

Okay for the past week I've had so many issues with my LG G2 that I'm ready to stroke out.

1. Not receiving text messages for HOURS and my sent messages are not getting to people for HOURS.

2. I've had the original charger since I got the phone now all of a sudden I plug it in to charge and it says that the charger I'm using is not compatible....wtf?!?

3. My battery life on the phone is non existent. I can be at 100% and 1/2 hour later it's at 30% and I'm not even using it AND I'm shutting down all running apps and it still doesn't help!

4. The home screen comes on while I'm in the middle of something.

5. I keep getting messages that my UI is not responding, or an app I'm trying to open is not responding.....seriously?

6. It keeps shutting my wi-if off saying there is no service and chewing up my data because the phone is a piece of crap!

i Quite possibly could go on, and on, and on.....help anyone? Mind you, my original LG G2 was awesome, it came out with the lollipop update and froze my phone to where it wouldn't even turn on. I called Verizon and they were nice to replace it, with a referb, when I paid a pretty penny for my LG brand new, but hey, whatever, I was happy to get a replacement phone free due to the warranty. Now I've had this "newer" phone for 3 months and I'm ready to throw the damn thing against the wall!!!

any suggestions? Verizon guru's are you LISTENING.???? Help!?!?!

This works for my G2 every time:

Skip step 5.

1. Stay plugged into charger for the entire process

2. Charge to 100% and back up music, photos, files etc...contacts should be saved to Google Account and use Google Drive or Google Photos to back up with as well and apps are saved in a list in your My Apps screen in the Play Store app and online using the desktop page.

3. DISABLE Google backup and restore of apps and app data in your Backup and Reset tab in your phone's main settings screen.

4. Factory Reset the phone

5. Download and/or Install update from notification bar (may have to manually check for update in About Phone/System Update to kick start it) at next boot/power on after skipping set up if possible

6. Phone will reboot after installation. Factory reset one more time as soon as possible before setting up the phone (you may have to press the back button a few times to escape the set up screen, or you may be able to skip it. Just go back to the Backup and Reset tab and FDR again.

7. Unplug from charger at 100% recharged

8. Set up your phone however you like to include apps from your My Apps screen in either the Play Store App or from the PC webpage version

9. Leave phone on until it powers off

10. Leave off and recharge to 100%

This is my usual process and I have had no issues.

The reasons for disabling app data is due to the fact that DAVLIK is now ART and the Android Optimization process might not go as planned if you just slap the new OS over the old OS. Also, when you go back to the Play Store to download apps, they will be the correct version this time for this OS.

I still get 36 hours plus on normal use.
