Hey! If your LG phone keeps restarting, we can usually narrow down what kind of restart you’re dealing with using safe, non-destructive checks (no “wipe everything” advice here).

People describe this in a few different ways, and each one points to different causes:
• Random reboots during use (screen goes black, LG logo, then back)
• Restart loop / boot loop (stuck on the LG logo, keeps cycling)
• Restarts when charging or when you plug in a cable
• Restarts after an update or after installing an app

Quick questions — answer in any order:
1) Which LG model? (Stylo, Velvet, G8/G7, V-series, K-series, etc.)
2) When did it start? After a system update, new app, drop, overheating, or “out of nowhere”?
3) What does it look like? Full boot loop on the logo, or it boots and then restarts later?

That’s helpful — if it boots fully and then restarts during normal use, that’s different from the classic “stuck on LG logo” boot loop. The common buckets for this pattern are usually:
• A problematic app (crash loop / conflict)
• Low storage / system under pressure (especially if storage is nearly full)
• Overheating or power instability (battery, charger, or accessories)
• A stuck button/accessory triggering restarts (power key case, tight case, gunk around buttons)

A few quick checks that don’t change your data:
• Does it restart more when it’s warm? (gaming, video calls, charging, in a pocket)
• Any new apps, launchers, battery savers, cleaners, or VPNs installed recently?
• How full is storage? Even an estimate helps (like “almost full” vs “plenty of space”).

Also: when it restarts, do you see an LG logo every time, or is it more like a quick black screen and then back?

That combo (warm + storage near full + “booster/optimizer” app added right before it started) is a pretty classic setup for instability and random reboots on Android phones — including LG models.

Two important points so we don’t chase the wrong thing:
1) “Full storage” can trigger weird behavior. When the phone has very little free space, apps crash more, background tasks fail, and the system can feel like it’s falling over.
2) “Booster/cleaner” apps sometimes fight the system. They can aggressively stop processes, manage memory, or run constantly in the background — which can look like “LG keeps restarting” because the phone never stabilizes.

Safe diagnostic approach (no big actions yet):
• Check whether restarts stop in Safe Mode. If it behaves normally in Safe Mode, that strongly suggests an app issue rather than failing hardware.
• Observe temperature + trigger. Does it reboot faster while charging or right after opening a heavy app?

Before Safe Mode: do you have a case on it, and does the power button feel stuck or pressed by the case at all?

That’s great detail. Restarts while charging + doing something heavy (video, gaming, video call) often points to either heat/power stress or an app/system load issue — and a tight case can add heat and sometimes presses buttons without you noticing.

Here’s a “low-risk, evidence-first” way to narrow it down without turning this into a checklist marathon:
Step A (accessory pressure test): For one session, remove the case and any add-ons (grips, battery case). Use the phone normally and see if the restart pattern changes. This isn’t a fix — it’s a clue about heat/button pressure.

Step B (charging path comparison): If possible, try a different charger/cable you trust (just to compare). Some unstable chargers can cause weird behavior under load. Don’t buy anything — just compare if you already have another cable/brick available.

Step C (Safe Mode test): Safe Mode is the cleanest way to answer: “Is a third-party app causing the reboots?” If it stops restarting in Safe Mode, we focus on recent apps like the booster, launchers, themes, battery tools, etc.

One quick question before you try Safe Mode: does it ever restart when it’s just sitting on the home screen doing nothing, or mostly when you’re actively using apps?

Totally fair concern — and the good news is: Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode. It doesn’t erase your photos or reset the phone. It temporarily disables downloaded apps so we can see whether the system stays stable without them.

What I’m listening for in your case is this pattern:
• Restarts mainly under load → apps/storage/heat/power stress become more likely than “dead motherboard.”

Two more safe checks that help interpret the Safe Mode result:
• Storage pressure check: If you can get into Settings at all, see if storage is nearly full. Even freeing a small amount of space (like deleting a couple of large videos you’re sure you don’t need) can change system behavior — but don’t do a big cleanup yet unless you’re comfortable.
• Recent-changes list: Make a quick mental list: the booster app, any recent updates, any new themes/launchers, any battery “optimizer,” and any new charging accessory. This helps later when the phone is stable enough to test changes one by one.

When you try Safe Mode, the main thing to report back is simple: does it still restart on its own, yes or no?

Great question — and I like the way you’re thinking about it (results → meaning). Here’s the logic without promising magic outcomes:

If the LG phone stays stable in Safe Mode:
That’s a strong sign a downloaded app (or something it installed, like an accessibility service, VPN profile, “optimizer,” overlay, launcher) is involved. It doesn’t name the exact app instantly, but it tells us the direction: “software/app layer.” In your story, the booster app becomes a prime suspect because the timing matches.

If the LG phone still restarts in Safe Mode:
That pushes us toward system-level causes: storage being critically full, overheating, power/battery instability, button/accessory issues, or OS trouble after an update. It doesn’t automatically mean “hardware is toast,” but it means we can’t blame third-party apps alone.

Either way, your next step stays safe: collect clues — when it restarts, how warm it is, whether it happens more on charge, whether removing the case changes it, and whether the charger/cable affects it. Those details prevent the “doorway” vibe of generic advice and actually narrow what’s going on.

It’s reasonable to consider battery/power as a possibility, especially since you noticed it’s worse while charging and warm — but we don’t jump there first because a lot of “battery-sounding” reboot problems end up being app/system stress.

Here are the “battery/power clues” I’d watch for (still safe, just observation):
• Reboots happen at a specific battery percentage (like always around 30% or 10%).
• Reboots happen the moment you plug in or unplug a charger, regardless of what you’re doing.
• The phone gets unusually hot fast with light use, especially near the top/back.

Meanwhile the “software/storage clues” are things like: the phone is nearly full, it restarts during heavy apps, and it becomes stable in Safe Mode.

When you’ve done the two tests (Safe Mode + no case), tell me the result in one sentence. From there, the path is different depending on which bucket it lands in.
