Each fourth dimension we got the repair back, the workorder stated the same as yours "replaced mainboard" and that was information technology ..

From what i've read, replacing mainboard is temporary solution at all-time. G4's root problem is due to its non soldering procedure aka using agglutinative for its main fries. Therefore, they volition go undone when the device gets hot and melt said adhesive overtime.
On the upside, i notice my G4 now runs much cooler afterwards the prepare, and update for android 7.0 is no longer available. I don't really mind since that version overheated my phone alot more than.

I guess I was within their fourth dimension frame of the LG Canada extension of the number of months added to the original one yr of warranty due to the "known LG G4 trouble".

Very nervous nearly the three LG G4 phones on my family account:

My original LG G4 that I got warranty-fixed for complimentary (mainboard replacement) had lasted 1 year, 10 months, 1 calendar week, i day till boot loop failure. Now, refurbished, it is currently working fine for 3 months, 3 weeks, 5 days.
Wife'due south LG G4 is nevertheless working and running for 2 years, 2 months, i calendar week, 4 days.
Mom's LG G4 is still working and running for two years, 2 months, ane week, 1 day.

Question; what is the best mode to fully back these up? Just utilize Windows Explorer to copy over all the contents to a dorsum upwardly drive? Or use a specific support utility, resident on the phone or an app/downloadable utility from somewhere, LG or otherwise?

I highly doubtfulness that any of the three of us will be looking at another LG once these crap out. But I presume that moving the onetime data to another LG device would be more than seamless, but just looking for some data backing up communication. Before the seemingly inevitable happens, once more. Thanks.

Every LG G4 will accept Bootloop issue. In that location's non even a question about information technology. The question is just when it volition happen. Yous can go far impact with LG. If they refuse, enquire for a managing director. If they decline, you can always get to small claims courtroom and I guarantee you volition win! Bootloop was an acknowledged upshot and they must fix this, even if it's out of warranty. LG does give extra warranty to LG G4 users. I know a family unit who had 4 of these phones and LG agreed to gear up them fifty-fifty though they were out of warranty. They were prepared to go to court. $550(the toll they purchased information technology via carrier) 10 4 x $500 for day-of lawyer + $2000 for various damages was their intention otherwise.

Don't bother paying the flat rate $150 repair and supersede charge with LG in case your G4 boot loops, I did and 4 months later the new G4 replacement went into a kicking loop. Purchase a Samsung, or some other platform and vote with your wallet.

It says that in Québec, nosotros have a law "Consumer Protection Office".

Warranties provided by the law: your rights
Legal warranties allow yous to await that the appliance you lot are buying:

will serve the purpose for which it was bought;
volition have a reasonable lifetime, given the cost paid, the contract, and the conditions of use;
volition not bear witness subconscious defects – that is, important defects that were present before the sale, that were non mentioned to you and that you could not have noticed, even if you lot were observant;

Than I said that lifetime for my cell phone is non reasonable ii one/2 years...

I enquire to repair it or I will go to small claims court for the price of the phone (699.99+tx) and 200$ for my fourth dimension!!!

I received a electronic mail 3 weeks later say that they will repair it free of charge :-)

I just ran into the aforementioned consequence where FutureTel is denying it due to corrosion. Has anyone been able to go it fixed afterwards beingness denied?

Damn! My G4 started this behaviour - well it's been rebooting randomly/ sporadically the final few days not bootloop. Looks like LG is going to not repair regardless blaming the user for 'corrosion' due to liquid damage.. BS!

Anyone having success getting the repair done in 2022?

That's how it starts...sporadic rebooting. Then i day it only doesn't come back and then take the opportunity now to back everything upwardly and figure out a temp phone in case information technology dies soon. I had mine successfully repaired this past May 2022 which would be month#xi within the 1-year warranty with no report of corrosion. I know previously LG indicated they would extend their warranty for bootloop to 18months merely not sure if those were for afflicted G4s at the time they made that declaration back in 2022 or for all G4s going frontward.

Recently I got a water droplet on the earpiece so I'chiliad hoping there'south no pathway downwardly into the mainboard that might crusade corrosion for them to pass up any subsequent repair should it bootloop once more in the adjacent few months. Have been keeping my eye out for skillful deals (ie. cheap) on a permanent replacement with similar specs (UHD recording, 1440p screen) but as G4 was a flagship model it's turning out to not be such an easy task!

Had them replace nether warranty under the eighteen month warranty plan dorsum in April 2022. But it was not piece of cake and had to fight tooth and nail. Ended up going to LG head function 2x to complain for them to finally get it replaced as their contractor (futuretel) wasn't cooperating - kept saying the serial number didn't autumn nether warranty plan.

No more LG phones always again.

I got an Essential phone to replace my G4 during Koodo promo. It cost effectually $200 all in revenue enhancement included. Galaxy S8 is too a good buy during Walmart gift card promo ($250 all in). They are much meliorate options to the G4.
