I received my Vz Dev Edition phone on Mon. Still running bone-stock with the 4.4 update. The first night, while I was talking on the phone, the phone rebooted twice. Once more in the evening, it rebooted while in its holster.
Since then, it's rebooted once or twice a day, always when I haven't been using it (I've felt it buzz, and taken it out of the holster and seen it booting).
Anyone else experience anything like this? I'm holding off on unlocking, since I'd prefer no argument if I need to send it back.

Not normal at all. You can try a reset to default(wiping the phone) and/or reflashing it completely with rsdlite. If that doesn't fix it then I'd most certainly have it replaced. I've never had a random reboot on either of my Moto X's.
That was my suspicion. I've had occasional reboots with prior phones, but never with a stock image. The fact that no one's posted here about reboots made me pretty suspicious.

I posted this before. Nobody responded :crying: lol. I had the same exact problem. I called them up and had the replace it. It took another 10 days, but it was worth it. My new one has no problems as of now. I ran a logcat and saw that basically, the RAM was failing.

lol. I almost knew for a fact that Verizon did that when I was with them. Their "like new" was basically just someone else's defective phone.
I've come to two realizations.
1) my phone has always been in my holster when it rebooted (when it happened while I was talking, I was using Bluetooth).
2) you can reboot this phone by long-pressing the power button, even when locked.
You can guess where I'm headed with this. So for the next few days, I'm putting my phone in the holster with the buttons up instead of down. Then I'll see if I need to post an embarrassed-smiley follow-up.

lol. Hopefully, because getting a replacement is a HUGE pita.
My phone did it sitting on a table without it even being setup.
Pressing on a certain spot of the screen (about 1/3 of the way from the top) makes an audible click and I can kind of feel it under my thumb too. I've had the phone for less than a week and it seems to work fine otherwise. I'll bring it into the Sony store on Monday to see what they say.
What could it be? Does this happen to anyone else? Do you think it's worth getting fixed?

How did you find out about this problem? Did you read about it somewhere and decided to try pressing your screen as well?
I'm pretty sure you'd never have found out about it during normal usage. Or did you randomly think to yourself "hey, I should really press my new phone's screen unusually hard and see if it make any noises" ?

I posted a thread about it a couple of days ago but should have mentionned it here as well that my phone wouldn't turn on after sleeping with it. I was checking for damage and I noticed this and assumed it was related. Though looking back, I'm pretty sure it was an unrelated software malfunction (kernel panic?), mainly because the battery kept draining during that time. It was at 60% when it was seemingly bricked (wouldn't even react to being plugged into multiple chargers and computers). then 24 hours later it magically let itself get charged, but for some reason was completely discharged at 0%. Everything worked normally from then on.

I see how it looks like I'm pressing hard, but I'm actually not at all.
I stumbled upon this post posted a month ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55745968&postcount=71
I'm a little worried about screen rigidity. After reading the other post about pressing the screen and seeing a rainbow and then seeing a YouTube video about a popping sound when you press on the screen. Hope Sony didn't go cheap here. Everything else I like about the phone. I have yet to take delivery of mine

Thanks for the vid. Though in a similar spot, mine sounds clickier and high pitched, like a mouse click
I'd definitely send the phone for repair before the glass spontaneously cracks
As you know I had same problem as you re power button not working but my phone won't revive I've now sent it in for repair.
I tried you screen click thing and got no clicking
same problem here
I'm having the same problem. Could you please let me know if it's a manufacture problem or not. Thank you in advance. and hopefully it's not.

I think it is, it definitely shouldn't be doing that. But I've decided to leave it be. I've ordered some tempered glass screen protectors - should stiffen up the screen a bit among other benefits.
Thanks

I've ordered a nillkin tempered glass + back screen protector as well. I'm waiting for it to be delivered in two weeks at most.
Anyways thanks for your answer. This problem, do you know if it happens to all device or just some? I have already tried putting it in water and it worked out just fine. Thanks again.
Seems like they all do this sound
I purchased my Z3 yesterday and I also noticed this weird sound while I was putting the case on. So today I went back to the store to see if it was just mine.
I tested 4 different Z3 with the dude a the sony store and they all seem to be doing the same sound at the same spot. However i still got mine replaced for one that seemed a little better than the others.
So yeah it looks like it's normal...
Guess what? I found the same issue somehow couple of weeks back and thought it was weird. I wasnt trying to test anything specifically and just clicking on phone for something at that time and heard the noise. So I did some more checks and saw it happening on the top half of the screen only.
Mind does the same thing. I bought it yesterday and noticed it this morning...hopefully it isn't something that I need to return it for.

They all do it, z3 and z3 compact. I tested 4 different z3 and 2 z3 compact at the sony store when I went to get an exchange for mine.
I took one which seemed a little less worst, but still do it.
I'm probably gonna buy a tempered glass, it might help lessen the default.

Does having a case on make it better/worse?
I like my root and don't want to be the Guinea pig, but see the OTA is here. Have to do some research so I don't brick my G2...again

I'm downloading the update right now! I unrooted my phone yesterday but was unaware I had to revert to stock firmware to update, so I had to do that first . For some reason it looks a little different from my old software's gui but I'm happy I'm getting the update!
Let us know how it goes! I'm quite happy with my g2, except for the GPS that needs a clear sky view to be accurate. Don't want to break a good thing!

Well after performing all the previous updates for my g2, I finally installed 5.0, and now my g2 won't boot up so I have to install the stock firmware again LOL
Yeah so I went through the whole updating thing a second time and the same thing happened. I learned that my phone tried updating to 5.0 one time and failed. The second time I tried to install it, after it finishes updating, after reboot it should go into optimizing apps and such before loading the screen, but it's just stuck at the lg screen.

And LG reps admitted on the phone with me and a Verizon rep that the GPS would be fixed with the Lollipop update. Ha. It did not work. Big surprise. I have yet to deal with a company who cares less about their customers (and I drive a *gasp* Volkswagen!)!

Likely a hardware issue, the last two Assurion re-furbs have had great GPS performance. Quick locks and 3m accuracy even indoors and solid navigation in both portrait and landscape orientation when docked on the dash. This one just got the lollipop OTA last night and GPS is still strong.
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
My GPS got worse and worse on this refurb (screen had dead spots on last one). Anyway, I tightened the screws under the back cover and it now works better than it ever did. (Motorola GPS seemed better to me, well, usually. Maybe all my screws keep coming loose--this is first time I've tried to tighten them--and it worked).
Does anyone know why this happens?
When moving around a lot and phone is in my pocket its starts to get hot to the point I
carry it in my hand. Does any one now why or how to prevent this from happening?

I also carry phone in front pocket. I wear jeans and walk a lot, don't have any issues with heat. Does it happen with any pants or only with specific? Try putting phone in another pocket.

I have also had this issue. Thought it was my imagination as it has been very hot lately, then realized my phone gets very warm in pockets for some reason.
its happens in my front pocket no mater if its shorts or slack it start to get hot with in 4 to 5 minutes. Then I just carry it in my hand. I'm not rooted so its all stock. I have not gotten the notification for the update yet but I hope it fixes this problem. I think it has something to do with the excessive movement of the gyroscope triggering some action or process. still happening.

I have disabled many apps that I didn't need and one of these apps is LG Health - could it be that this app as you mentioned uses sensors to update the app's info when phone moves?
Are you guys sure that it isn't that the weather got warm? It's end of summer afterall..

I checked the LG health app and I have never run the app it seams, go I activated the app then checked setting to see if I can shut it down. No option to stop it. I'm not rooted so no way to shut it down. I'm a fan of rooting but have not done so because it's so time consuming to start moding, customizing etc one it's rooted,

I don't have root. Go to phone settings>apps>swipe left until you get to "All" category, then scroll to LG Health Agent and you should be able to disable it.

This happens to me, just noticed it today wearing gymshorts at work. But it only happened when the screen was toward my body, if I faced it away from me it was fine... Weird.
Probably friction. I just got 2 G4 phones Friday night and no issues so far. Been on mine constantly and the only time it got warm was when i was using navigation in Denver yesterday. This thing stays cooler than my note4.

That's was happening to me to. Disable the LG health app as few post before and it should stop it. This worked for me and you don't need to be rooted to disable apps. One note is that there are 2 LG Heath apps running 1 you can force stop and the other you can disable.
Was at a block party all day yesterday and I noticed my phone never got hot after disabling the LG health app.
Hope this helps

Rooted lg health app completely deleted :/ as for the mods I had it did it before and after I rooted so no mods still had issues. The weird part is it's instant. Like I can take the battery out for a half hour put it in turn the phone on and put it in my pocket screen facing in and it's hot till it completely boots. But the phone itself doesn't feel hot when I pull it out. It's the weirdest thing.

I know you completely deleted the LG health app. But from what I remember there are 2 LG health apps running I force stopped one and the other I disabled, don't remember the exact app names but both apps were next to each other. so just double check and make sure both LG Health are gone from your "ALL" apps view.
You can check under Settings > General > Apps >swipe 3 times to the left till you reach ALL and go down and make sure none of the 2 LG health apps is running.

I think you should try and get it replaced for a new one. I picked two brand new ones from T-Mobile on Friday night and have not had any issues with them. My wife is constantly on hers but not such a "heavy" user like me. I tried replicating the issue you're experiencing but it just doesn't get hot. Even from my usage it just feels warm like most phones so. Surprisingly this thing stays cooler than my Note 4. Way cooler! Makes me wonder how come so many people that own the G4 have issues with heat. I guess the Note 4 is hotter? I do know we used to have to figure out ways to keep the Note 4 cool on first boot because it would get so hot. Few folks actually had to put theirs in the fridge just so it could boot.
Since doing a full 10N update, with wifi on in my pocket it gets warm. I also use LG health and Google Fit. But not until I turned off wifi did it start cooling down.
Okay, so this seems to be a recurring thing here. I've seen a few threads about this now. I don't understand what's going on and why there are no answers. I was literally sitting here texting my girlfriend and my phone froze then rebooted. Booted back up fine, and then 5 minutes later did the same damn thing again. This time though it just keeps boot looping. It'll get to the point where it's optimizing all my apps and get part way through, freeze, and do it all over again. I'm stock unrooted, and I'm quite pissed off at this. This should not be happening to these phones, and my phone has been perfectly fine with no problems for a while now and all the sudden it just wants to do this. Also, if I pull the battery and put it back in it won't turn back on or charge for 10 minutes, and then just keeps looping.
It's not looking good for us bro... Sorry.. Seems as if the MotherBoards are no good. I've tried a few different data recovery options nothing seems promising. Taking my phone to T-Mo today..

I ended up taking mine in yesterday, getting a warranty replacement. I'm just hoping since their already used devices that there are no problems with it. The rep told me if I get 3 bad phones though they allow me to switch to a different phone.

It actually did use to be that way. It was that you had to have had the phone replaced 3 times (basically 4 same bad phone) then they offered you a different phone that was comparable to what you had.

Sorry to hear that, the only thing out of shape with my old phone was the leather back. The new one they sent me has been amazing though. If anything I'd jump to the v10. It sucks though because all the new flagship are right around the corner.
