It's not the end of the world. It's a great phone without root. I haven't been able to say that about a lot of phones

I got lucky and somehow the order got messed up and best buy canceled it before they shipped out.

Yeah I got my G5 about a month ago. I've rooted every phone I have had prior to this one. However, I have had no need to root this phone as it seems to do all I need without root. I came from a Galaxy S4, so this is like going from a Prius to a Porsche.

Good phone (minus GPS, getting hot and power button) while it lasts. 9 months mine boot loops.
Luckily I only paid 1$ for it with the last of the 2 year upgrade plans. But the wife has the one with 5$ a month offer...doubt it will make it to the 2 year mark though. There is word out the g6 has same bootloops issues too.

Does yours have a physical problem that's causing it to bootloop or a software problem? A phone here or there with an issue is not evidence of a G4-style bootloop epidemic, and I've only seen a handful of reports of G6s bootlooping without much explanation of whether it's a hardware or software issue. I've seen a bunch of people pointing to that expansion of the G4/V10 class action to include the G5/V20 as evidence of G5 bootloops but no actual evidence that that's anything more than lawyers casting a wider net to bulk up their own payday.

I am a ups driver so I am outside a lot with the phone in my packet. As a side interest I am going for computer infotech bachelor. My personal opinion is that many will have my same problem and it is a hardware based problem from getting hot. I've seen YouTube videos where reheating the CPU (do a disconnect between CPU and board) is the issue. Mine lasted 10 months so built wise is better than the lg g4 BUT I have a tsrong feeling that as they time will pass a bit many will have this problem. The GPS issue and rear button is well known and that is from build quality too...we know that by now for a fact.. the bootloops will surface too.

I plan to try the Mobo/CPU fix and then play with it since selling it as a broken phone has no value really.
