While this might be an isolated incident, or it might be widespread, you may have a confliction of apps and data. Have you tried a factory reset WITHOUT backing up and restoring apps and app data?
Otherwise, the T-Mobile G3 still can garner a decent return on a resell site like:

Hey turtlegirl,
So I have also been having this same issue I thought it might be my battery as well but from all the reading I have been doing it seems like it is because of the OS. I left a few articles that talk about what could be the fix by Ill tell you from my exp. that the factory reset did nothing. I just purchased a battery from Amazon ( Amazon.com: LG G3 (CDMA-GSM) D850, D851, D855, LS990, LS740, VS985 OEM Battery (BL-53YH): Cell Phones & Accessories) and this did nothing to resolve it. Quite literally as soon as it powered on it rebooted. It was on long enough for me to open the multiple windows button and then reboot.
What I have done to deal with it is to plug my phone to the charger for a bit and I have not seen it boot loop for a while but as soon as it begins to bootloop i charge and it usually stops and i can use it like normal.
All signs point to the OS.
Try these if you would like but I never will root my phone but if you feel up to it give it a try.

Rooting and flashing a previous os version will work....but IDK if that was acceptable speech here.

Yes I have tried everything as well and nothing works. I don't want to root my phone either. That's the only thing that will work? Is there really nothing tmobile can do? I don't think I should have to use my jump insurance to get a different phone. I would be throwing away all the money I put towards this phone . its not like I just want a new phone. My phone is not working properly. Shouldn't they do something?

You should ask for a new phone but i had that issue too but i didnt do
anything differently no root nothing but charging my phone the minite it
tries to reboot and have had ot restart in like a week. I think what i
might have done was took my battery out then put it back in without
powering it on and let it charge to full capcity then turned my phone on
and it works fine since then. But i dont think this is a fix since it
rebooted on me last night when the power reached 15 then it rebooted.

This started happening to me randomly, I noticed when I opened the flashlight app it would happen sometimes. I looked in the app listings and noticed I had 5 flashlight apps installed. So I uninstalled 4 of them and it solved the problem, hasn't happened since. Must have been conflicts with the different apps. It also solved my duplicate message issue.

My wife's G4 has been doing this also and when we uninstalled facebook messenger the problems
have stopped for now.

Wow, my problem started EXACTLY when I started downloading the Facebook Messenger! Unfortunately looks really bad now, my phone won't even start anymore. Just bought it today. What a nightmare.

My phone is doing this also, I am trying the full battery re-charge. I don't want to factory reset if I don't have to. What data gets lost when you do that? I use the notes app alot, is that backed up or is it all lost?
-
Do what I said. Buy a new battery. It's a common problem. Just don't be an
idiot and reset,.
-
I definitely was not planning on just resetting, I did buy a new battery and the issue was fixed. One of the reasons I came to this conclusion myself was that I realized if I took out the battery (stop reboot cycle) plugged my phone in and let it full charge, I could use the phone while plugged in with no issue. Of course that pointed straight at the battery!

And maybe because I suggested it.
