G4 died on me =(

So.........
This morning when i woke up my G4 cannot on..

Last night when i plugged it in, the battety charging animations still appear.
Today not a single sign of life.

It only briefly ons for a while when i remove and put back the battery, but the LG logo
Is not shining unlike the startup animation....

Any idea guy? Pressing volume down and poeer does not seem to work..
Issit because i took it for a walk last night at -2 degrees ???
Will blow drying the phone work ?

Haix... half way travelling and it dies... =(

Hi you may want to refer to this G4 official tread instead! http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/lg-user-group-224/lg-g4-4984257.html
It's unlikely cold temperature will affect the phone. Maybe you just got the faulty batch (famous 505) .

A lot of people have been reporting sudden deaths of their LG phones since last month in the main G4 thread.

Bring your phone to service centre, its probably the motherboard coming from defective batch.

Is mashmallow 6.0 update available for G4 ? anyone ?

isnt it available via software update? Most people here have talked about updating to V20b

honestly im not happy with MM so far. I literally see and feel no advantage compared to lollipop and instead have these problems:

- Non-LG apps when they create files on SD card, somehow the PC cant read the file data when phone is plugged in, it feels like LG didnt implement the MM SD card permissions thing properly. This happens to every SD card i mounted on the phone and it could be the dealbreaker feature that makes me want to trade it in ASAP once i see a new phone i want to get

- battery drain is worse

- screen auto brightness feels a lot less reliable, there have been moments where the screen failed to turn brighter when i went outdoors

things like these are why unlike most people i am actually not eager for new android updates from 1 generation to another, because my experience has taught me that the companies seem to only properly test the new android on their upcoming flagships. For older phones receiving the OTA, the software may be done in a half-assed manner and brings a lot of problems you previously never had.
