First, I should say I have never rooted this phone. I am also not very Android tech savvy, just a little bit.
Yesterday my LG Optimus F3 phone from Virgin Mobile went crazy. It started by having several messages pop up saying unfortunately an app had to close (it did this with several apps). It then turned off and did a Factory Reset all on its own.
When it came back, despite having erased everything that was on my phone, it says I have almost no memory left. Which makes so I can't install almost any apps. Also, if I go to Settings and try to choose "Security" options then I get a message that says "Unfortunately Settings has closed" and it closes.
Now this is where I think it gets really weird. If I choose the "Power off and restart" option...it does a Factory Reset. Every time. I tried to put it into Safe Mode and that made it do a factory reset.
If the power on it goes off for any reason (like if I pull the battery) it does a factory reset. If I just turn it off, same thing.
And it just does Factory Resets repeatedly by itself. I woke up this morning to a loud voice from my phone telling me how to activate it because it had done a factory reset while I was sleeping. It has factory reset itself twice today since then. It's in the process of doing it again at this very moment.
Someone I know suggested I root the phone. I just wanted to post here before trying to do so.
