I thought I was alone but there's a thread for this for another carrier (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/lg-g3-d855-shutsdown-t2803292). I was charging my phone and it randomly shut off twice without any warning. It had plenty of battery so not sure what the issue is. It's as if I installed a bad ROM that needs tweaking. Anyone else?
**Update 7/18/14**
The issue was due to ART being enabled instead of DAVLIK. Looks like we'll have to wait for LG to address that later.

I've been following that also but it appears to be only the D855 International version, although there are 3 at&t posts and 1 guy with sprint who posted once, but none of those 4 posted the version. One of the guys that said his was on at&t after being asked said it was a D855 which is still the international version and doesn't make sense LTE band wise, so for now those 4 posts may just be trolls.
Yea it happened several times again tonight so I'm going to get a replacement unit tomorrow morning. No explanation. I just leave it on my desk while working and it dies so I have to take out/put in the battery to start it up again.
Did it shutdown or freeze? Mine froze 4-5 times since I got it today. When it happens I can't even power it on/off. Had to pull battery.
All these started after I switched to ART. And I've switched back to dalvik it has been OK for about an hour now.

This is the exact thing I've experienced with the device today. It froze on me about 3 times with ART. Going back to Dalvik is no problems though

Ye I'm pretty sure it's ART now. I've been on the phone (with dalvik) for about 2 hours and no freeze. Before that (with ART) I had 4-5 freeze in less than 3 hours. I can't say ART is noticeably faster either.
Anyway, I may switch to ART one more time but will run back to dalvik at the first sign of trouble.
I'll try switching to Dalvik cause I'm also on ART. My unit wouldn't respond to any button as it would remain a blank screen until I pull the battery.
It's definitely ART people. I can confirm this, because I originally started with ART and experienced random power offs, force closes and freezes. I did a factory reset and tried again with ART and same issues.
I factory reset it again, stayed with dalvik and NO problems. I have 2 other friends go through the same situation and still had issues with ART.

Is this a Verizon specific issue, e.g., one of the VZW apps doesn't like ART? I've seen many people say switching to ART improves performance with some minor app compatibility problem. but nobody mentioned freeze or power off.
I wonder if disabling VZW bloat may help.

not sure what issues you are referring to. I've had zero issue other than the ART problem. pretty sure that'll get fixed with L, if not earlier.

I'm referring to the many people who have mentioned problems with their G3s after switching to ART, which is what L is based off (as far as I know based on my limited knowledge of it). So, I was asking people, who have more knowledge than I do, if that indicates a potential problem whenever the G3 is updated to L. I know that sometimes updates don't play well with previous versions (like KitKat messing with my old S3).

No one has really figured out what is causing the reboots. What do you have installed/Mods. One theory is if you have some after market task killer (ATK - Advanced Task Killer) it might be killing the OS causing your phone to reboot, again thats only one theory.

Right out of the box. Not rooted (yet) or anything. I notice that the task manager on this phone lets apps run wild unlike my "old" Droid 2. I have a hot phone with sub par battery life. I am wondering if I have a memory leak somewhere.
I have noticed apps like Pandora tend to lock up as a widget but continue to burn through memory. I am hoping for a system update soon.

I also have not had my Atrix reboot on it's own. You can try to hard reset your phone and not reload your apps to see if it's one of your apps causing the problem. But I bet you will have to get a replacement phone.
One thing that has started happening to me is when I used the speedtest.net app it'll run one good speed test the second run it'll display 50kbps down 50kbps up then it'll reboot very odd don't know why this might be

Make sure you charge your phone full to 100% before doing a hard reset... This helped my battery life tremendously... Don't forget to backup your data
I do get random reboots, but only once in awhile (3x since I can remember from release date of Feb. 22)... I think Motorola is aware of this issue. There is an update in beta test right now so hopefully it will be out for every in the near future.
Good luck.
Is there any update to this? I am also having random reboots on 4.1.26 and 4.1.52

I noticed when my Atrix would reboot itself, it was USUALLY when GPS was in use. I know Speedtest sometimes uses GPS to determine which server to use, which might explain this? Just a guess though.

I've only had one reboot but messing with GPS caused it. Basically I went in and out of the navigation app 4 times. I can't remember why lol.
OP: Do you leave your gps on all the time? Maybe try turning it off for a day or 2 and see if that improves your situation.
Ive only had one reboot to date as well and it was also GPS related. I had just installed the update last night, and went into the app GPS status. it locked up and rebooted the phone. only time its ever happened...?
weird
I think the reboots are associated with polling.. if not polling then some underlying data send/receive issue.
i've also had about 3 random reboots in the past week, i'm currently running 4.1.57
My phone recently starts to reboot by itself too.
Running 4.1.57, rooted, and Webtop mod.
Most of the time it happens when I try to wake up the phone. The phone would not wake up and then reboot itself after a while.
At least with the update the issue is the phone randomly reboots when there is
1. Low Signal
2. Coming off wifi and unable to reconnect data.
Pretty much when the device loses the data connection and cannot reconnect it reboots. Been worse since the 1.57 update.

+1.........
when I've had random reboots, (about 2 of them since the 1.57 update) I've noticed that each time the phone was busy pulling something from teh internets, and would just jam-up. Maybe there's a buffer overload or something and the phone has to reset to clear its cache?
Then again, I know NOTHING about internets, except how to watch pr0n and dl torrents.
I too, have never had a single random reboot.
I've had 3 reboots in the past week alone. Mine usually happen at the beginning of a phone call. I'm getting sick of having to call the person back and explain that my phone just rebooted.
Anyone heard of any updates on this issue ?
Has anyone else noticed that the Photon seems to self reboot at odd times. I have yet to have it reboot on me while using it, but my wife's Photon has rebooted on her during active use.
Anyone else experiencing this?
No, but you leave alot of unanswered questions. Is your wife rooted? what is she running (app's) that you are not running?
I have heard of this before and if i remember, delete everything and start new, just putting a few app's at a time back on. When it starts acting up, you found your app!

Shockingly enough, I did suddenly get that twice yesterday after updating YouTube. However I've been unable to reproduce it with any level of consistency at this point.
For the two Photons I have access too (both are doing the same thing), one is rooted one is not.
Apps in common are:
Enhanced email.
ADW Launcher
Car Home.
My feeling is that more people are having this issue they just don't know about it... I found it because I went to recently used apps and there were none, then I started to watch it...

I've experienced it a couple of times while playing music. A song would be playing and then it would suddenly reboot.
I'm using Google Music...
I've heard of that happening before the 154 update came out. So not sure if you're on the latest OTA or Leak why you'd be getting it, unless as someone mentioned it was an app. Which is possible I s'pose.
i did noticed that when the phone is in the charger,when i take a call
while the phone plugged in i hear no voice and the phone reboots
the phone was pretty hot when it happens so i can assume it's a heat problem
(in my case)
Mine has been rebooting more and more frequently. I went to Sprint today and had them order me a replacement. I'm hoping the new one does not have this issue.
Have you tried wiping data and cache then installing the latest leak?

Just curiues How does wipeing data helps rebooting problems?
You do that before flashing the latest leak. You won't do any good otherwise.

Yes sir. That's the latest leak/OTA update. Though the reboot issue was fixed for most people with the 154 update. I previously had that issue as well. So you could try that, but not saying it will for sure fix it. That's really the only idea I have, unless you try uninstall your apps and see if it's an app related issue.
Had same famous random reboot issue, after 154 update and a wipe.
Exchanged for new Photon at Best Buy (no hassle swap) 3-4 weeks ago, So far no random reboots. For me, I believe it was hardware related, noticed the phone was getting fairly warm around the same time the random reboots started happening.

I guess it could be hardware related, but that WAS a known issue when the first Photons came out. I had to exchange mine three times due to the reboot issue before the tech told me it was a reported and known issue and they would be releasing a fix for it.
My Evo 4G and EVO 3D both did this sometimes (both stock, not rooted, hardly any 3rd party apps) when signal strength was low.
My Photon does it much less often (did it once today though, but I'm in Canada roaming). My Photon is rooted, but pretty vanilla.
I have gone with all of the OTA's, and have yet to have a reboot.

Perhaps, that's not funny though and rather rude. There was no need to use such a term, as there is plenty of other things you could have said.
All flaming aside, the guys are trying to say something. There is no real way for the ROM to be the cause of a continuous hardware problem such as that. "Getting Warmer" makes sense because of things the Kernel may be doing or RAM intensive background tasks , but a camera button creating an electric shock because of a ROM no. To prove this point (and what you could have done before making the thread specific about MeanROM) is flash a different ROM, and see the problem still persisting

If I take it to Sprint, would my insurance(TEP) cover it even though I rooted? Also, I understand that ROMs should not cause severe hardware issues but, as I'm still a newbie, it was something which I needed some suggestions. On a side note,I've been running the ROM for a few days now and the issue went away after I removed battery and has not come back. The ROM is great and the battery life is amazing, 4 hours of Netflix on 3G at 50-75% brightness for 90%. My battery then lasted another 5 hours on the last 10% with a few calls, texts, and data.
Thanks to all for the suggestions, will keep looking into it and continue reading.

no sprint will not support the phone if they see if its root. they will tell you to reload the stock software. the only way they would support it is if you drop it in water or something where the phone didn't turn on anymore. because at that point they don't know or would know if it was rooted.

Only thing I did when I got the phone was
Very first thing I did was add my google account
I turned ART on and rebooted
Installed Titanium backup
Attempted to restore my apps from my former phone.
During this whole process I had 3 hard lockups and about 6 reboots. (I spent the day trying to get my phone setup)
After 5 hours of hating the G3, I figured it had to be ART.
So I factory reset my phone and repeated all of the above EXCEPT for enabling ART, and did not get a single lockup or reboot.
Anyone else have problem with ART. I really want to use it, Android L everyone will, but I have it on my HTC one m8 and man does help with battery.
Let me know others who have tried this...
Anyone have any thoughts on the matter...
I'm going to be completely honest. I had A LOT of problems when I enabled ART which is weird, because I had it on my m8, g2 and nexus 7 and never had problems, but on my g3 i had Random powering off, constant freezes, force closes and incredible battery drain. I did a factory reset and kept everything on dalvik and everything works great.

Yep, sucks! Having a clear understanding of how ART works, I really want it, when implemented correctly your battery lasts much longer, and programs load quicker. A shame LG didn't spend any time testing their implementation of it. There are only a couple phones that support this, you would think LG would test, i bet LG didn't bother making sure their own software was compatible. Like turning ART on, on a ROM that doesn't support it. So this pretty much confirms that the LG G3 stock rom does not support ART.
Another reason I can't wait for a bootloader unlock or loki. I know the developer community will be able to get it right. LG did such a bad job it makes me wonder if they're developer team even heard of ART, it looks like they just grabbed the lastest version of KitKat which has ART in there, and they didn't bother doing anything at all to their ROM to coincide.
I spoke with my friend who just got it and he confirmed similar problems on art.
Can confirm, spent 3 or so hours troubleshooting the problems (which I thought were due to an accidental system app restore via Titanium Backup), but it turned out to be ART.
It also might have been the reason for some issues I ran into with downloading/installing apps and updates from the Play Store (usually just taking an extremely long time to install, occasionally freezing and automatically rebooting, occasionally giving an error code), though I can't be 100% sure ART was the cause.
Whatever the case, seems to be stable now on Dalvik. I wonder what's causing the issues on our phones, the other carrier versions reportedly work fine on ART...
It's definitely ART people. I can confirm this, because I originally started with ART and experienced random power offs, force closes and freezes. I did a factory reset and tried again with ART and same issues.
I factory reset it again, stayed with dalvik and NO problems. I have 2 other friends go through the same situation and still had issues with ART.

I've been on ART with no issues yet. Maybe I'm a fortunate one. It converted 249 apps, took around 20 mins to do so... But once it did, I had a little stuttering issues. Once the apps settled in, I've been smooth sailing.
I had 4-5 lockups (deep sleep / coma / battery pull) yesterday after flipping over to ART. Last night I did a factory reset and left things w/ Dalvik. No problems yet. Really glad to hear it isn't just me!

Switching it and rebooting should work in most cases, although if you still get lockups and crashes or issues downloading Play Store apps, then I'd do a factory reset too.
Ok, thanks!
when i switched to art I got some massive battery drain, factory restored and it went away. Gonna stick with dalvik for now, until i can figure out what is causing the problem.
I thought my unit was faulty when I switched to ART cause I had random shut downs and high battery drain. It seems though that the G3 (VZW) is not ready for it yet until a firmware update.

I enabled it, but it was a disaster making the thing way more laggy than before--brutally slow with apps crashing.

It seemed ok last night, but this morning it was rough again. Eventually Google play stayed upgrading a bunch of apps. There were some issues while the updates were happening, but when all the updates were nearly done the My Verizon app "unfortunately" closed. Since then it's been golden.
I'm at 40% battery left after 10 hours on battery, 2.5 hours screen on time. Not quite what I was hoping for but much much better than I had yesterday.

I wont even bother with ART once I get my G3, I never found the difference to be all that noticeable, but I noticed a huge difference on Android L, just wait for the Android L update to the G3 and itll be fully optimized.
I just got this phone coming from the HTC One M8 and I have to say I am getting fed up with it. Every so often when I turn the phone on, there is severe lag and the home button does not work at all. Everything I do on the phone lags. This is very frustrating. I did root my phone and using Xposed so maybe I am going to try to uninstall Xposed. Very frustrated right now with this thing.
Once this lag starts, none of my programs will run and I have to reboot my phone to get it to respond.
While this phone isn't as fast as the M8, the behavior you described is not normal. At least it's not normal in my experience. I have a few stutters here and there but nothing that I wasn't expecting. If everyone would experience what your describing, everyone would be returning this phone. Which is what I recommend you do, and get a replacement. Just a side note, I have Xposed installed as well and I still don't have your described issues.
Good luck!

I second that. The G3 definitely has more lag than the M8 but it's sporadic and never more than a split second. I also have xposed installed.
Another thing is that make sure you don't switch to ART. the Verizon G3 has serious problem with ART.

Right now, I disabled all Xposed modules to see if maybe it's one of them causing the issue. So far I haven't had any issues but it's only been a few hours.
I was running the following modules:
Disable Location Consent
G3 TweaksBox
Greenify
NotifyClean
Pandora Patcher
RootCloak
I guess we will see what happens.
Be careful. The people will come out in force and let you know by every way possible, their g3 doesn't lag!
It does. It lags and stutters, but yours does sound a little more severe than it should be...I'd try restoring to factory, then an exchange.

Yours does, and no one doubts same. Mine does not, but many doubt same.
To the OP, there was considerable discussion around the lag issue in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/speed-lg-g3-t2836035

The problem I was having doesn't seem to be the same that everyone else was. I disabled all Xposed modules and started to re-enable them one by one and so far I haven't had this same problem yet. We will see what happens.
Thanks for all the input.

My best bet would be a setting in G3 Tweaksbox has borked your phone. I was running Tweaksbox fine and decided to give myself the option to place 7 items in the Nav bar and when I tried to restart, bootloop. That was something simple but Tweaksbox can edit certain lines in your build.prop and make you have to LGFlash back to stock. Until we at least get a custom recovery I would be cautious of what kind of root-level things I change. I've only had this phone a few weeks and have already soft-bricked it three times with no backups made and no easy restore method.

I am going to bet Greenify is it. Seen several reports of battery savers causing lag issues. My kid had it with one also.
Did you ever figure it out? I am having the exact same problem.
Greenify applied to a program that doesn't handle "greenifying" well can cause nasty lag on any device. If you had been using greenify on the past device with the same program list, look closely at recent updates and make sure greenify and the other program aren't in a constant battle of grenification and wakeup.
As an example I had a program that before a certain update worked perfectly well with greenify, but then it was updated and started consuming the cpu and battery (and made the phone lag). The key thing that helped me identify this is an app showing up in the battery usage details list higher than it normally does.

I actually only have G3Tweaksbox, NotifyClean, and AppSettings. I have reenabled G3Tweaksbox and AppSettings and everything appears OK so far. I suspect NotifyClean. Maybe since I brought over the settings from the S4 I had, that botched something up.
