this worked for me I think. for the first time, ive gone through one whole day after doing this. thank you, hopefully itll stay awake and not reboot :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
I just started experiencing reboots today. I've noticed 3 in the span of 8 hours. Not sure if it's something I did or what, but I'm tempted to restore everything back to factory and see if it happens. Currently I'm rooted, removed bloatware, and nvflashed CWM recovery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
Just bought the phone and got 2 or 3 reboots today :( Also some light bleed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
LauncherPro is not causing the problem. I've been using LPP since day 1 with no reboots
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dumbkkid:
did anyone even try turning off wifi and going to cellular preferred method? it kinda worked for me, for the first timne, i actually didnt have any lock ups lol u guys should try it and see o-o

EDIT: eh, nvm phone rebooted. lol phone ran from Monday 1PM, til Tuesday 3:45AM
[T-Mobile LG G2x] S0NiX0928:
Thanks for confirming that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] razgriz417:
I just got my g2x yesterday and haven't had my phone reboot on me. I did have it lock up 3 times while charging though. The battery also drained overnight for me, making me miss my alarm :mad:

I've noticed that my phone gets really hot while charging, I'm thinking the locks while charging is due to it overheating. That was with the wall charger, I have it plugged into my computer now to finish up the charge and it feels much cooler, so maybe there's something wrong with my wall charger?

Well that and I removed ATK from my phone. Been reading on the Tmobile forums that ATK does not work well with Froyo, can anyone confirm that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I don't want to claim victory yet BUT...I've now gone 3 days without a single reboot and/or lockup. I'm using the sh*t out of this phone in the meatime too - Navigation w/GPS, Bluetooth audio, video, browsing, voice, video, etc. etc.

Battery life is my only nitpick that I have to manage better.

All I did was root and uninstall a bunch of T-Mo crap and since then no reboots or issues. I hope this will last at least until CyanogenMod 7 is out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Nivek91:
Ever since I had this phone, I've had about 6-8 reboots. Most of them were out of nowhere while the phone was on idle and some were when I just plugged my phone into the charger. I'm trying to exchange mine for a new one. I bought mine of Craigslist and I was wondering if I there's a possibility to exchange this through CS?

Sent from my LG-P999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tokyomonster:
Bought my phone new, it's been pretty awesome since (that was on Sunday), however, I noticed just now that it rebooted for no apparent reason. As far as I know, this is the first time that's happened. Hopefully it's not going to be a repeat issue, but I'm well within the 14-days (not to mention manufacturers warranty), so I'm not *too* concerned about it at the moment.

Still, that's kind of annoying.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
Mine rebooted 6 times the first day and at least once over night. Just when sitting there or at night charging. It must have rebooted at least once today because I only have 3 hours of uptime (Settings -> About -> Status -> Up Time)

It seems to not reconnect to Wifi after coming out of sleep.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
There's no point replacing the phone. Its software. I had a replacement and it had the reboot issue. My current phone which used to freeze and reboot a lot doesn't do it at all anymore. I just uninstalled some apps and some T-Mobile stuff. I'm at 3 days without a reboot and I use it a lot so its fixed in my book.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
I replaced my phone today since mine was actually defective. I had one reboot during the day while using it but no more lockups! Ever since I got my new SIM card though my network connection has been crap...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] razgriz417:
Well, the phone froze again while trying to charge it with the wall charger, thinking something is up with that. I'm stuck charging via usb now, here's hoping it doesnt freeze again
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
Tmobile better bring out Gingerbread quick. This one has so many problems from rebooting, freezing, auto shutoff, wifi to data.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fivelbchubbs:
phone shuts off while charging overnight

Is anyone else having this problem? I suspect the wall charger is the problem because it is putting off a high pitched noise while charging and some of the people in the o2x forums came to this conclusion. I would hate to exchange my phone if it is just the charger because I have no other issues.(no reboots no light bleed no freezes just shuts off while charging rendering the alarm useless and making me late for work. Please let me know what you know. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] razgriz417:
Yea my phone's been freezing as well when using the wall charger and I think I do recall the high pitch noise. It charges fine via usb port though. You're luckier than me though, I have some backlight bleed as well but since I got it online, I don't know if I should send it back
[T-Mobile LG G2x] UCFJake:
My wall charger only emits the high-pitched noise when the battery is at 100%. My Nexus One stock charger did the exact same thing when hitting full charge. My theory is a mechanical vibration due to the phone no longer accepting the charge to avoid overloading the battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fivelbchubbs:
Alright thanks I will be using my trusty vibrant charger tonight and will let you guys know how it goes
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
I used vibrant charger yesterday and it shut down my phone during charging.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tenbeau:
I have a replacement device arriving today. This will be the third one. The second one was so messed up (black screen freezes repeatedly, random reboots, no signal etc) I sent it back within 24 hours. The first device I still have (I have 9 days left on buyers remorse) and after 2 1/2 days of virtually issue free usage, lo and behold last night it did a random reboot and dropped a call and this morning it just did a black screen freeze. I am really wondering if there are actually any issue free units out there. If this third one has the same issues than I will return and wait for the, SGSII. I really do like this phone but there seems to be just too many issues, at least with the units that I have received. If it was just one main area(such as Vibrant which was and is GPS)it might be tolerable to wait and see if SW can fix it, but this seems to be multiple issues which seem to occur randomly with no rhyme or reason to them(at least in my case):confused:. The one and probably only one that the units I have do not display is Black screen freeze while charging, that has not happened YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Are you loading the same apps on the phones? Try running stock or with as few apps as possible for a bit. I had problems with mine but since I uninstalled some stuff all the issues went away. Its definitely a software issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rukawa2k:
For those who keep rebooting, do you have your wifi on when it reboots? I'm asking because I just had my first reboot last night after it charged full with wall charger. It was the first night I had wifi on when I went to sleep.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I never turn my Wifi off and I haven't had reboots in a while. I don't think that has anything to do with it. I'm telling you all it's apps/software...no one seems to listen.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
Patently false. The only reason any Android phone would reboot is:

* Hardware bug

* Linux kernel bug, most likely in one of the phone's device-specific kernel modules a.k.a. device drivers (such as for wifi chip, gps, 3d chip, proximity sensor, battery driver, etc.)

The only way apps can "cause" reboots is by running into one of the above bugs. Android runs on a secure operating system, Linux, which is designed to isolate applications from one another, as is the entire Android system.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
You just said the same thing I did. The apps themselves don't cause the reboot but rather by exposing a kernel or hardware bug. Fact of the matter is my phone would reboot and freeze all the time. I'm the OP!

But since I removed apps I haven't had a single issue for days now. Same hardware, same kernel, etc. Only thing that changed were apps.

Explain that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
My bad - Internet - easy to misread/misunderstand people :-)

Thought you meant some apps were the problem
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thatmatanater:
Ah, i had my first reboot last night.. the phone was about 70% and it was charging.. Im really hoping not to see that again.. =/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rukawa2k:
I just had my 2nd reboot while I turned on wifi and trying to download app from Amazon store. I certainly hope it's some apps causing the issue, which would be easy to fix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
I just got my phone yesterday and am not having any issues. It probably is all the weird apps people pit on their phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
Again, not true. Android sandboxes apps. Reboots are an issue in the system kernel or hardware.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikebionca06:
The gps has been working great for me locks really fast. Luckily I havnt gotten any reboots either
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rukawa2k:
I didn't get the reboot issue until last night. which is the 5th day after I got this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jimbo831:
Count me in as now experiencing freezes and reboots, suddenly starting yesterday after a good 4 days owning the phone. The only two things I changed before these issues started was installing and setting up SetCPU and implementing Paul's fix to speed up the UI.

My reboots seem random, haven't figured out any patterns yet, but have had 4 in the past day and a half. My freezing is even weirder and isn't even a total freeze. On 3 occasions so far, I have unlocked my phone and it was slow to show the desktop. Eventually it starts running smooth, but some features don't work. I can't long press anything, but can navigate through the phone by swiping and normal pressing. However, if I try to pull down the notification bar, it does nothing and freezes the phone up for a good 10 seconds or so, eventually just becoming responsive again, but the notification bar never budges. To resolve, I have to turn off and on, but it won't turn off. Phone goes through the shutdown procedure and freezes on the screen with the pink t-mobile box and stays there until I pull the battery. My phone will shut down without any problems normally, but in these 3 cases, it followed these exact symptoms every time. Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DrG:
I am not one to complain, but, I now have had my first 2 reboots. I have had the phone 5 days. The phone was connected to my laptop charging and also had wifi on? I have been adding many apps. I hope the reboots stop or are infrequent until we get the first fix. I will give it my full 14 days before making my final decision. I love the device and want to keep it...hopefully
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xguntherc:
I've learned how to get my phone to crash and reboot all on it's own, over and over again. I had 5 in a row yesterday.

Updating apps from market... That is only time I've had a reboot.

a few larger games that default to the app2sd feature are crashing on installation.. Tank Hero, Speedx 3D, stellar escape.. all of these will for sure, without doubt make my G2x automatically reboot.

i did uninstall, and reinstall and they were good. but updates were a no go. I hope this isn't an issue for everyone, and hopefully CM7 fixes that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rayvenhawk:
To OP. I have to disagree with the Tmobile apps causing reboot.

My first G2x I ended up rooting and installing bloat freezer. I froze the following apps.

Apppack

CarHome (both instances of it)

Logmein Rescue

TeleNav

MyAccount (all 3 versions)

The 2nd MyAccount force closed repeatedly, all I did was reboot phone and it was frozen when I checked it again.

Even with those frozen my phone rebooted again and I lost video several times in a row prompting me to replace it.

My first phone got maybe 9hrs of little use before battery drain, when I rooted and disabled those apps I easily got 14hrs with moderate use.

This phone gives me 15hrs of high moderate use, though its rebooted twice today but im thinking its a battery overheat issue since when I used the dial code to see phone info it said my battery health was overheated.

When I think about my 1st reboot I had it covered by some papers and movies, my 2nd reboot I had it in charger and it was very warm to touch. So im leaning toward it being a heating issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rukawa2k:
Got 2 reboots so far in one day. Anyway to make it stop playing T-Mobile theme music on boot?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
This is the BSOD except B=Black. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] UCFJake:
I had only one previous reboot on this replacement unit until I set up a battery monitor widget and it froze the next time it went to sleep. It was Android System Information that I tried. Deleted the widget and no freezes for almost 24 hours since. Fighting battery life is harder with just the gauge up top but its not freezing.

Did overheat my battery playing Fruit Ninja while charging on my HTC Nexus One stock charger. Put phone in the freezer for a minute and back on LG stock charger and no overheating. The battery status literally said ""overheated" and it was pretty hot to the touch. HTC charger is .5V @ 1.0amp while the LG is 4.8v @1.0 amp. Not sure if its significant but figured I'd post.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] S0NiX0928:
My phone was never hot like it overheated to reboot while idle next to me or in my hands the second time it restarted itself. Did you by any chance remove/freeze the wifi calling app? I found my wifi fudging up with my data connection and sometimes having both active at once. This apparent bug was causing my phone to hiccup but then I realized wifi calling was always active and running itself in the background when these problems would occue. And judging by tmobiles other 'quality' apps I took it into consideration that it could be the wifi calling app. No issues since removing that app in particular for me. My wifi doesn't seem to 'entangle' itself with my data connection anymore either.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] S0NiX0928:
Scratch that last claim. My phone just reset while browsing these forums further using the xda app after my above post (second time out of three reboots total using the xda app). I don't think it is the app itself but the network demand from it. I am almost certain the reboot problem is mainly a network issue. I find my phone constantly having a hard time keeping a connection and often switching from 2g to 4g constantly. I think T-Mobile's tinkering with the network software to disguise their 3g as 4g is the real culrpit here. These phone companies need to stop being so recklessly invasive of the android OS. All just to be devious and blur the lines between 3g and their abysmal '4g' network or to brand the phone with their bloatware/splash screens to name a few examples.

This phone otherwise has been stellar and Im actually more disappointed than angry over the network issues and 'message not sent' errors. This phone is everything I want out of hardware it just lacks a strong software to back it up. I wish when tmobile said 'stock android' they really meant it!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xguntherc:
My phone went into an endless bootlooop last night at 4AM.. I woke to the boot sound animation going off over, and over and over.

I rebooted over 10 times, did 3 battery pulls. Left battery out for over 10 minutes n tried again. it basically died while sitting there, doing nothing and went into this endless bootloop. Lame!

I ended up doing a factory hard reset and that saved it, then a nandroid restore! (to much work at 4 AM, when I work at 9 and phone should not be doing that anyways)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BayPimp:
same thing happened to me. the only thing i did to the phone before it started rebooting was install google earth and tango. Once i removed those 2 apps. the phone never rebooted again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ScooterG:
Roger Tango.

I removed my SD card and reboots stopped.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ristafas:
Removed SD card and reboots stopped...

Me too. I didnt have any reboots for the first 5 or 6 days. I finally got around to inserting my 16gb sd card and had 7 or 8 reboots over the next 2 days. Took it out 2 days ago and not one since... Only thing i had on there was about 11gb of music in a "Music" folder.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
I was reboot free for first 3 days until I used a microsd card. That was Class 10 Kingston 8GB. I don't have reboot yet with new phone and a Class 10 Lexar 32GB.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] derrigan:
Just curious...do some of the devices heat up during charge? Mine reboots during long charges when battery widget reports 104 degrees f or higher.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Yeah I wonder also if the SD card could be an issue because it's not a standard setup with it mounted as a directory of the internal SD card. I wonder if some apps cause issues when accessing it. I just had the phone which has generally been super stable freeze with the screen off while uploading a pic to Picasa from the external SD card.

I might just try running without the SD card. Thanks to Amazon Mp3 I have all my music via streaming.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
I am going to try what you guys are saying-I just removed my SD Card and will keep an eye on it see if it reboots again.

My reboots usually occur during charging or shortly after the phone is fully charged and unplugged. Do you guys experience the same?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DeezNotes:
I get reboots every now and then and I don't have an SD card in. I never have. I have not rooted my phone. I don't have "frequent" reboots, but I do get them.

Yesterday, I didn't use the phone at all - I used my other phone. Got home yesterday afternoon, switched to the G2x, fired up Yelp, was running the app for a bit (5 mins), looked away for a few more mins, then I heard the T-Mobile bell as it was rebooting in my hand.

I've had the same thing happen with other apps like Google Maps. It usually reboots while it's sleep. The common factor both Yelp and Google Maps have in common is that they use GPS, but I've had the phone reboot without it using GPS.

I'm willing to bet there are no common factors. There is nothing we can do to fix this. Nothing matches up. I'm sure we can all give an instance where we had a reboot and there will be no common action, such as on the charger, off the charger, gps, no gps, sd card, no sdcard, root, no root, widgets, no widgets, this app, that app... I've given up trying to figure this out. Bottom line - it's a bug and LG needs to fix it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 299792458:
Yep...same here. Reboots without SD card. About 3 or 4 in past 3 days.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dumbkkid:
has this problem been taken care of with cm7 nightly 0 yet? or no go?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rukawa2k:
that's what I want to know too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BayPimp:
havn't had a single reboot on cm7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dumbkkid:
Were you having issues before flashing cm7? Keep us updated if you don't mind :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BayPimp:
I was rebooting twice a day after i exchanged my 1st phone with no reboots but with screen bleed. Running cm7 for 12 hours now with no reboots!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
So you traded rebooting for these issues reported on the current version of CM7:

My alarm went off and the phone just vibrated without sound.

I can't install tegra games.

I can't reboot; it shuts off

Screen brightness is adjusting even though I don't have it set to automatic.

No 4G settings

Adding APN does not take right away - took countless reboots

Fade out when locking the screen is wonky. Even with the animation disable

Intermittent sound

Some apps will not install. Not just Tegra 2 apps. The Amazon market can install the non tegra 2 apps though

Random fits from cell radio not able to connect

Tmobile connection fails so phone.apk force closes wont stop

Very laggy ADW - launcher pro relieves this a little

CM7 is far from ready for prime time. Especially if you push your phone hard connectivity wise.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BayPimp:
I have almost non of those problems except apps wont install, reboot button doesnt work. that's it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Irishdoom:
Just to add what little I can to this thread, I'm very new to smartphones (the G2X is basically my first, had the SGS4G for a few days then exchanged for the G2X), so I've essentially done NO tinkering. Stock launcher, no rooting, no outlier apps, just mostly the basics.

I had what I would call the freeze issue the first or second day I had the phone (I received it 4/20). The phone was in sleep, and would not wake up until I pulled the battery.

I have NOT had this freezing issue again until it happened twice earlier today. Once while I was connected to Wifi, once while I was NOT. I do have the Locale and Weatherbug apps, and I believe both use the GPS often. I hope this is something that can be fixed!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Naruto8u:
so i just got my g2x yesterday. new customer. ported in number to t-mo from att. Well 1st reboot was after 20min used. did nothing really. just talk to customer service. Laid it down charging....reboot....Went to study. left it alone and it reboot like twice. Awesome fast phone so far. but would like all these reboot to dissapear. wifi a little buggy for me 2. connect to my wifi and no wont search beside google :(.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rukawa2k:
Hoping some solution come out before I decide to return the phone on Friday (14 days) or flash to a ROM that does not reboot... My phone reboot abut 3 times since this morning. I've noticed the phone was a little hot in my pocket couple times. Wonder if this has something to do with the battery...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Anybody having reboots but have their GPS turned off? I really think it's all tied into the GPS. I was fine but tried a live wallpaper that checks coarse GPS (quick check) every hour to update weather and have had multiple reboots with a hot phone too.

I've also however used the Google Maps for navigation for hours and GPS is fine there. I think it's 3rd party apps that use GPS cause the issue.

Anybody having reboots but have GPS off? That would rule out that problem
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dumbkkid:
I was wondering the same. I haven't tested this myself yet however will be willing to try. What are some of the 3rd party apps that are using GPS?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
I think you are right and one of the biggest culprits that many of us are using on a regular basis right now is SpeedTest. I've found that ST will keep the GPS actively seeking even if you back out of the program as in it doesn't shutdown the GPS request. ST remains a running program and if it hasn't received a satisfactory GPS lock it will keep pinging it until it does. I noticed this today when my GPS seeking symbol was blinking while running a ST from inside an office. I backed out of ST and it was still blinking...shut down GPS via the power control widget and it stopped...restarted via the power control widget and it was blinking again...the only way it stopped was to go to manage applications/ running apps and shut down ST there.

Add to that the obvious issues with the GPS driver and/or software reporting outragous SNR levels...it all points to GPS as being a significant bug right now. Of course, you and I have had the issue with the GPS unit failing to start until re-boot as well. Hopefully it is a bug that will be exterminated in the GB release.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
ST has caused 2 of the 3 rebooted I've had with my replacement phone. However I also drove 1000+ miles using Google Navigation without a single reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rukawa2k:
Just had the 5th reboot today and guess what? It gave me a factory rest! Only on my widgets though....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Yeah I really think its when 3rd party apps access the GPS because I've also used Google maps and navigation without issue. This could explain how it made it through testing and reviews without issues.
