Um , exactly how does this relate to your statement about making myself feel better about all the things I ' missed out on '? Just trying to get the last word in even if it contradicts what you previously wrote ? BTW , it looks like both of your previous replies have been downvoted pretty badly . You realize that the is generally considered a bad thing , right ? <| sep |> It ' s better to send it to LG to get it fixed since there ' s a chance you ' ll get another bad model with your carrier . My mother had her first G 4 bootloop and her carrier just gave her a new one , but it was an affected model and bootlooped after the warranty ended . I had my first V 10 bootloop and got a refurbished one from ATT with the same manufacturing date . Luckily LG extended the warranty for the G 4 to 15 months and the V 10 should also be included . But honestly I ' m going to pay off the remaining amount for trade in before it dies again since I ' ll be stuck without a phone while LG fixes it .
