Root Phone Issue

[Wame26]

Since last Friday, my phone has been acting crazing. It keeps freezing and soft-booting. It will freeze when I turn it on as it is loading, while I'm navigating through the phone and even when I'm on a call. It would even freeze and do a soft boot when on idle. I restore from my previous backup, I wipe cache, dalvik cache and reset everything and even reinstalled the ROM but it is still freezing. I even froze some apps that may be using too much of my ram. I had this phone for months and it never acted up and I never dropped it or anything. My phone didn't even crashed when we were testing out kernels. Now it is freezing/rebooting constantly. And what driving me crazy is that it not something specific that I'm doing that is triggering the issue. It's not following some type of pattern.
SHOULD I UNBRICK?

I would unbrick and see if it happens on stock. And if it does get it replaced through the manufacturers warranty.

Hmm , you wiped data /factory reset ? Maybe you have a app that's malicious or something .
I dropped mine sick the other day , not a scratch on it .
I personally wipe data factory reset wipe cache wipe data and cache again in mounts and storage then wipe dalvic in advanced

I wished I knew wish app it was because I wiped everything and reinstalled the app only without data and still same issue. I wipe everything one last time and if that don't work I will unbrick.

As for the manufacturer warranty do I go to metro corporate or LG.

you'd go to a Metro corporate store. They'll look at it and decide from there if its a phone issue. But before you go there make sure you do the unbrick/unroot/return to stock.

**** that bro , its an app that's causing the issue . Don't switch until you ruled out the possibility of being an app because you will eventually end up installing it again while syncing your Google account . There's dozens of ROMs for this device . Right now I'm running pgs cm 10.1 as and I'm living it . Give it a try , or try using GTs katana or samurai . All are great and you can't go wrong , by the way what kind of apps are you running ?


Maybe you installed GTs kernel and don't know how to use it . Read the instructions my friend , can't O'Clock all day everyday or just flash his stock unsigned kernel .

just in case you haven't tried cm 10 with avatar port .

@determine sou
I pretty sure it an app like you said. I have run all GT ROM I'm currently running Samurai and his kernels with no issue before. I will just do what u said and one by one install the apps I have installed since my last recovery backup before this issue started until I see which app is the criminal. Lol.

At first I thought maybe it was a data issue of an app but now I'm leaning with what u said and think it an app giving me the run around.

I'm pretty sure it's an app I didn't get from play store. I think an app from aptoide or blackmart may be it, but which one? Time to investigate.

aptoide or blackmart

Ohhhhhhhh nelly!

Those are 2 of the shadiest places to get apps from along with 4shared. I would stick to free and paid apps from the play store.

@GT,
As shady as they are, I've used them and never had an issue until now. I guess I let my guard down and got bitten. But I think that I'm on the right path in solving the issue. Just investigating which app is the serpent that tricked me. So far I've been running my nandroid backup from 2 weeks ago and restore a couple of apps with titanium and everything been smooth for a couple of hours.
I have a group of apps quarantined that I will be restoring one by one until I see which is the trouble maker.
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE INPUTS. MUCH APPRECIATED.

Found the culprit. What is so crazy about it is that the app wasn't from Aptoide or Blackmart. It's this app called XPrivacy from the xda developer website. Lol
As I'm reinstalling my apps one by one, I used the phone all day with no issue. Then I install that app and my phone started acting out. I UNINSTALLED it and the phone is running just fine. Glad I solved the issue, again thanks for the help everyone.
