Be glad you aren't one of the unfortunate ones hit with the issue .

Me, too, but I've got a G4 for a backup, just in case.

Let us know on Monday if you're shipping it back to LG to fix the bootloop issue you have this weekend, or if you're going to just toss it and go with a new phone.

Mine just started, had it for 1.5 years also. Buying a new one..

512 serial bootlooped last week.

Wish there was a place to get a motherboard, it's easy to replace and get the phone working again and cheaper then buying something new.

It's up with Snapdragon 808 and 810 genetics.

Very cool! Fingers crossed In Europe the G4 comes with a 2y warranty. My 505 boot-looped some time last year. I sent it back to LG, they replaced the motherboard, and that was it. It wasn't the end of the world, to be honest—I immediately knew what was up, and customer service didn't ask any further questions when I told them. It took about a week to turn around. People probably lose their phones to cracked screens more often than that (and that isn't covered by warranty).
