Just a heads up

Postby woodenvisions » Sat Mar 25, 2017 11:22 pm

This may be something,it may not be but it's worth a read.

So 2 days ago I get a ( update available ) message on my phone from GOOGLE updates.
Not being near my home WiFi, I click ( remind me later )
So during the day I get the notifications 3 more times.

So I get home and do the updates just like any other normal update I've done in the past.

An hour later I look and see it's ( maximizing the apps )' on # 39 of 88 so I go back and lay down. I get up an hour or so later and find the phone STUCK on the reboot screen.
I go to pick up the phone and it's so hot, I can't hold it.

So I unplug it, take out the battery and let it cool. Put it back in and right back to reboot screen. I try to do a ( hard ) reset as my last option and no luck...

I go to AT&T the next day, they hook it up and after 45 minutes they still can't find any operating system on my phone !!
Now at this point, I'm about to ( come undone ) pretty much like the Korn Song !!

Basically, the update wiped my phone's operating system out.

Will be in a long battle with GOOGLE/ and or LG til I get my $ back for the phone.

For now, I NEED a phone to run our home business so I bought a GO phone which is sub par for food pics :evil: :evil: :evil: .

As I'm purchasing phone, the clerk tells me this is the 3rd horror story this week he's heard about the EXACT problem.

So, if u guys use Android and or AT&T be very careful with ur updates...
