I have a T-Mobile version of this phone.
Sunday I had a strange issue where the phone gave me full LTE connection in the icons at the top, but had no connection for any apps (Facebook, etc.). I rebooted multiple times and eventually it started working. Yesterday it started showing the "T-Mobile" logo then powering off. A hard reboot (hold power and volume down) yielded a reboot, but many apps won't come up. They show fine in the menu, but report "Application can't be opened" when I try to open them. If I uninstall and install them they work, but I think this phone may be hosed.
Has this happened to anyone else? Should I expect to be able to do a factory reset and recover from backup (I turned off my backup so that the backup on OneDrive will be good).
It's been a nice run. I really like this phone and this was my last blast at this great OS. I used Continuum and loved it. I'm seriously considering buying a Blackberry DTEK60 to replace this because I like the form factor so much and trust Blackberry to provide security updates (and security is my main concern with Android).
