my G5 has been restarting at most random times. At first I didn't really make much of it. But know I've just had 3 restarts yesterday. Has anybody had this issue or is there some kind of work around. Because I'm worried since I'm outside my 14 day return period :(. Great phone but this is just unacceptable -_-

I have not had any random reboots at all. Has it been going on since you had the phone or after you installed any apps usually its software that's causing the reboots. I would do a factory reset and install a each one at a time and see which one causes the phone to start rebooting this may take a few days depending on how many apps you have

I'm so glad I found this! My Sprint G5 started doing this on the 19th, it even shut off and wouldn't turn back on for half an hour.. No new apps installed, nothing out of the ordinary.. I took my battery up to a full charge before work, unplugged it, and after sending a text, it restarted, and it got worse through the night. I went into a Sprint corporate store yesterday, and the associate looked on the Sprint forums to see if there were others that were having this issue, and nothing showed up.. He had me run a factory reset, and it's fixed it for the past 24 hours, and if it starts happening again, there are notes on my account that shows it's a recurring problem, and a new phone will be ordered.. That would be my suggestion, OP! Also, I noticed that after every restart, the battery would fall 10 to 15%, the time it wouldn't turn on for half an hour, it dropped over 40%!

problem is sprint and most likely the signal which is causing some issue with the phone. not many apps cause the phone to reboot. sprint and lg seems to be a bit problematic, remember last year with the screen seperation with sprint models?

I had the same problem with a T-Mobile silver model. Started a few days ago and progressively became worse. One day it had to have done it 5-7 times. Luckly I was within my exchange window and got a new one yesterday. I couldn't tie it to an app or behavior. Only thing you can do is a full reset.

Good luck.

I know bro weird right !, I've had the small problems except the battery ones. But I wouldn't be surprised if that crept up on me next.

I'm in the UK and have had the same issue. Have sent the phone back twice and had it returned 'fixed' twice. Each time it seemed to be ok and then started happening again. I ended up keeping a log of what I was using when it rebooted and haven't seen a pattern - seems totally random. Hopefully a new phone will solve the issue - am getting it replaced tomorrow!
