[Android Central Question]

I can not use the phone for more than an hour before all the apps crash and the phone keeps restarting. I did factory reset, cleared caches, and i also tried system repair apps. Nothing seems to work. I need your help guys...

It may be failing hardware, possibly the battery, but I think more likely to be a component on the motherboard; or it may be a software problem, in which case you could try reflashing the firmware.

Can try safe mode also to eliminate any 3rd party app conflict

Welcome to Android Central! I agree with mustang7757, see if it happens in Safe Mode: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-37693. If it doesn't, then you'll have to uninstall apps one by one until the problem goes away.

After a factory reset, there are no apps left to not run in safe mode. I go along with belodion - reflash the ROM. If that doesn't fix it, it's a hardware problem. (That's the benefit of 15 years of repairing cellphones, you're getting. It's what I'd do if you brought the phone to me to "fix". But considering the price of a good used Stylo 4 (https://swappa.com/search?q=lg+stylo...cUvbUpU6698056), if flashing the ROM doesn't fix it, it's cheaper to replace the phone. (A motherboard replacement is going to run you in the US$90+ range. Even an unlocked one is probably cheaper. [I've seen repair shops charge $125 to replace cheap motherboards, and up from there for flagships.])

This is true, unless the user chooses to restore from a backup and the phone proceeds to reinstall previously installed apps automatically. This is why I still suggest Safe Mode, even if the user did a factory reset (unless they specifically say that no 3rd party apps were automatically reinstalled after the reset).

Certainly can't hurt. {Color me shut about the matter from now on, since I understand why.}
