Same experience. Loved the G4, then it got caught in a boot loop.

My wife got it and made a whole bunch of photos before it started to boot loop making it impossible to transfer photos from phone.

Solution was to freeze phone and then power it up and quickly transfer photos outside. (bootloop was because high speed/power cores were going to overdrive and overheat what was causing phone to reboot)

I'll join on the 18mo G4 bootloop bandwagon as well. It really turned me off of LG in general. I'd like to say it was just an issue with that model, but they had several generations of phones with similar issues. Some of their earlier phone (G2X, I think?) had even more extreme problems.
