I probably have my head in a very dark place BUT... I used to suffer from the garbled screen and random reboot problems every 2 or 3 days, never bothered me much, but hey, it shouldn't happen right! Anyway, about a week ago, downloaded a connection setup app update from HTC via the market place and for the last 7 days, the phone has been perfectly (and I mean perfectly) stable, no reboots, no garbled screen, no lock ups, no market place lockups (only used that a couple of times mind). Got to wondering what might be in these app updates, are we getting silent fixes for known bugs?
I know that there are random reboot/freeze issues with this phone but I have noticed that my issue seems a bit different.
My phone goes into reboot loops and freezing only when I turn on the WiFi. I'm patiently waiting for the LG "update fix" but wanted some advice from the experts.
Im in afghanistan and only have until next week to return the phone. If it is a software issue then I dont mind waiting but if it is hardware then I dont want to get stuck with a 600.00 paperweight.
I know Im shooting in the dark but I really would appreciate some thoughts or advice.
BTW - I have had the same issues on custom ROM's and stock ROM's. I think I damn near flashed the phone with every possible thing i found on this board, haha.
well it seems like my issue is still isolated to wiFi. The phone has almost no reboots and very little freezes when WiFi is off. any ideas on if this is a possible hardware or software issue?
was it with every ROM you tried the same ?
It happens with every rom but I hate to get my hopes up but it seems to have start happening not as often. right now Im using this
[ROM][21/4-11]TK-ROM Vanilla + LG = true. v0.5.7 (Fr12)
couple of hours so far and it is better but not perfect.
Mine has just recently been randomly rebooting but was fine when I first got it. It never seems to reboot when I'm stationary only when I'm in the car or riding my bike. Twice it happened in the same location on the drive home from work which got me thinking it could be location related. The gps wasn't active at the time so I tried turning off wifi/cell tower location in the options. I managed a two hour bike ride with no reboots today whilst using gps tracking and listening to music. Yesterday the phone wouldn't go more than 10 minutes without rebooting.
Could it be bad location data in some mobile phone masts are making the phone crash due to a bug in the software?

So this was happening before but I factory reset my phone and now after about a week and a half it's happening again;
everytime i either go back to the previous screen, or while i'm on a loading screen (noticed it a lot with Netflix) but i get these green pixely squares that flash on my screen... this a known issue with the version? or should i take my phone back?
I'm not really sure how to better describe it...
Have yet to experience that, had my unit for over 2 weeks.
Take it back.

I have the same problem with mine had it since it came out?

I've had the same issue. Started happening within 2 weeks, but more recently it hasn't happened much. A battery pull always fixed it for me. I'm experiencing random reboots when the phone hasn't been touched for ten minutes, this is more disconcerting to me
I haven't noticed it after a reboot for a couple days now...
But i do remember almost directly after it first happened (before i did the factory reset) my phone started doing the whole random reboots too. That's when i read the post about fixing the camera and not using the assistant backup/restore functionality when you activate the account...
I thought it had fixed all the issues but seems they're still there just, less sever...
Rebooting the phone (temporarily) fixes the issue for me
[sent from my droid]
I swear, after using the camera this happens. Until I reboot I get some kind of green checkerboard whenever the screen rotates or changes
Same here. Every time I use the camera and sleep the phone it will get hot and drain the battery. Waking the phone gives me green pixellated images and serious slowness. Battery pull after taking pictures is the only way to mitigate it...for now.

So this seems to be a common issue... has anyone been able to talk to motorola? is there an update coming out anytime soon to get it fixed? or is it just a hand full of bad phones?
smc, have you still not experienced any of these issues?
can you try seeing if it might happen after some of these scenarios listed in this thread? would be greatly appreciated!
Has anyone else had this happen? Mine did and there's a big gap in my battery usage. I'm singing l assuming this will get fixed when they post the factory images considering the N9 has had 4 updates so far.

Happened today while I was on youtube, so far only once. What do you mean of big gap in my battery usage? Did the battery % decreased after the reboot or are you referring to the battery usage graph? On mine the usage graph restarted but the battery % was a continuation..

Yes it did here's a screen shot I took. I had a brief one earlier but this one was worse.
Phone rebooted today when i received a video message in hangouts.
Mine now does this weird thing where it opens random apps to the setting menu that has the option to force stop, disable and uninstall and keeps flashing and switching between them. I haven't unlocked the BL yet or done anything to the phone, I think its a software bug and hopefully google will release an update soon.
Edit: the random weird thing described above was caused by Greenify so I uninstalled it.
I'm having a lot of random reboots... anyone still with the problem?

I've had a couple more, I called Google today and made a trouble ticket to see if they are pushing out an updated build for us. I awaiting their response, but I'm certain they will fix this with an update.
Well it looks i got a lemon, its rebooting every 2 minutes, anyone knows google contact info for RMA?
Mine just started doing this. It happend twice the other day and I thought I did something, but just now while I was surfing the net on my computer with my Nexus 6 right beside me it rebooted for no reason.
Mine hasn't done it since I posted last. My Nexus 9 had the same bug so maybe its an app causing the system reboot.
I was just sitting on the couch 20 minutes ago, with both my Note 4 and N6 sitting next to me. I wasn't using either, but almost in unison, they both randomly restarted.

It's the aliens!
i get them a few times daily as well. usually it happens much quicker if i disable mpdecision, and use the ondemand governor. if i dont change anything, then i might make it through the day without a reboot. oh, and 99% of all my reboots happen when im using the browser. and the odd thing is, no last_kmsg gets produced.
I had two reboots an hour after I activated the phone on T-Mobile for no apparent reason. Went into network settings and changed from Global to LTE and the reboots never happened again
I changed mine from Global to LTE a week ago once I activated it yet mine has rebooted at least 3 times. I did notice that the last time was after I used wireless charging. I'm wondering if maybe the heat caused it to reboot.
Also happening to me (32gb blue, Bell Mobility Canada) ...has anyone tried factory resetting the device?

I also just picked one up from Bell (32GB Blue) today and had a random reboot while the phone was sitting on my desk idle. This was moments after tons of updates from the Play store. I read in some threads that doing a factory reset didn't work for most.
I also got a 15MB system update, on stock build LRX21O. Hope this isn't caused by hardware!
Edit: Just sent a text using "Textra", 2 mins later a random reboot occurred...

So I just had another one immediately after opening and closing the Messenger App (I stopped using hangouts) ... funny enough, same thing happened yesterday right after I closed the messenger app ... going to go back to hangouts as default and disable the messenger app to see if that helps
Was hoping the 5.0.1 update would fix this problem, but I'm still getting random reboots and shut downs, at least once a day.
my reboots are cured. the ondemand governor is broken in stock, and aosp, and has been the cause of the reboots. as soon as the developer of lean kernel fixed the ondemand, no more reboots using lean kernel
I have had this issue since lollipop. people said it was a bug and would be fixed in marshmallow but I am on 7.0 right now and it still persists.
The problem I am facing is that whenever someone calls me, the phone though vibrates but the ringtone comes into effect like a 1-1.5 second later. Is there any fix to this?
OK, it's not April 1st so I'm assuming you're being serious. There are two "fixes" that I can think of...
1) turn vibration off so you don't notice any delay.
2) ignore it and get on with your life because insignificant things like this are not worth getting upset or annoyed over.
