Man, my phone is very weird, and it always has been lol - Yeah that is exactly what I did, reset more than 3 time, same exact steps... got the "!" screen, and loaded it up perfectly. I later found out that the "!" is a hard reset and it should of wiped everything.. but for some reason, it did not do it for me. Don't ask how, no Idea... HOWEVER, The issue has come back! notifications will not work on ANY messaging app, or any app... until I manually open them.. Facebook messenger, wont even start, and all my games wont start...
Funny thing too that I just noticed. Anytime I am in my camera, or do anything that has to do with media. The phone pops up with the low battery message and shuts off my phone in 3 seconds... Despite the battery having 99%!! --- after restarting the phone, it only shows I have 4% battery life... after more restarts, it goes back to its normal batter life of 99%... LIKE WTF! loool
