[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
So I've had the phone since 4pm yesterday. I use uptime widget on my phones for kicks and to check for stability issues so I installed it right after I got it.

The phone was up for 7 hours until around 11pm when I rebooted it myself (to fix a unknown my phone number problem). It came up fine. 30 mins later it rebooted itself which i didn't think much of since I thought it was invoked by a SIM update. Since after the 2nd reboot it correctly showed my phone # in Status and my Messaging app, etc.

All is well, on the charger overnight, wake up this morning and use it everything is fine. At almost exactly 8:30AM while sitting idle/screen off it reboots again?!

Not sure if this is due to the tons of apps I have on or was again a network related reboot. I know in the past when I had GSM phones, the carrier can definitely initiate a reboot due to a SIM update. Having it happen at exactly 8:30AM seems bizarre. It's super fast and no lag or crashes otherwise.

I'm going to use it more today and keep an eye on it but just FYI. Anybody with it experiencing anything similar?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] david279:
Oh Noes!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Could be because of me. I had Wifi Calling on both times and I had changed the network mode from the Auto default to WCDMA only. I'll get to the bottom of this, I'm sure :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Check out this review of the GSlate by PC Mag. One of the cons is "occasionally reboots." I think LG has some 'splaining to do. This is their second device (third if you separate O2X from G2X) to suffer the problem.

Pros

First 4G tablet. Powerful Tegra 2 processor. Excellent HD screen, with HD output capability. Shoots and plays 3D footage (glasses included). Affordably-priced (after rebate) for 32GB capacity. Generally intuitive user interface. Dual-facing cameras. Video chat.

Cons

Default Honeycomb home screen feels cluttered. Flash 10.2 beta is buggy. Strange, off-center orientation for front-facing camera.

Occasionally reboots

, unprovoked, when idle. Android Market needs more Honeycomb apps.​
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Strange how LG could be causing this on both devices since they are both stock Android! My Moto XOOM with Honeycomb has it's issues as well because it's an early OS but having occassional reboots on Froyo 2.2.2 is not acceptable.

I'm hoping it's related to an app or something. Once more people get the phone we should be able to see if it's an isolated or widespread problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VICosPhi:
Its definitely not the LG's custom UI that is causing random reboots. I really hope its not the hardware!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nomisunrider:
Update coming soon hopefully?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
That's the 2X right? Doubt the same update will apply to us but here's hoping. Anybody else with a G2X having this? It could just have been me and the phone being provisioned. I've had it for less than 24 hours.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Lets not jump to conclusions just yet.. My phones have rebooted due to my doings, lets see if others have the issue first before blaming the issue on this phone too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knslyr:
Just received my G2X today and have experienced the random reboot thing twice in about 3 hours.

Will keep an eye on it today and report back later.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
New customer or existing? I know by saying I'm jinxing myself but it's been 7 hours so far without a reboot.

Were you on Wifi when it happened? Were you using Wifi calling? Let's start putting together a picture.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] los0325:
me too WTF
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Please start keeping track of what you or phone was doing when it happens. This will help everyone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] djunio:
It sure would, I've had mines for a week and it hasn't rebooted once.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] los0325:
unistalling apps
[T-Mobile LG G2x] se1zure31:
Don't worry me like this! My phone is arriving tomorrow! Also when you guys got your phones did you plug it in and let it fully charge before playing with it? I know it would be hard not to just turn it on...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Just rebooted again while I was walking the dog and listening to a podcast so first time while I was using it. I think it might have to do with GPS use. The CNN app I installed last night uses it a ton and I think it causes the issue.

Anybody else having this using CNN or another GPS heavy app.

I've turned off GPS for now. Before this reboot it had been up for 10h
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
For whatever reason turning off GPS has made the phone even faster. Maybe there's a bug or memory leak related to GPS? Here's hoping we don't get any more reboots.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] los0325:
Has not done it since...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Be careful. Mine went 10hrs between reboots.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
Do you use any power management app? Like juice defender or any power widget. I heard that those could cause reboots.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dumbkkid:
Nope nothing like that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
I would say SpeedTest and Weatherbug (if you use follow my location and have GPS checked) for starters. Pay particular attention to running either in areas where you can't get a GPS lock (or at least it takes longer than the app is open/active).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Found something interesting that might point to an issue with the battery that people have been saying. I ran System Panel (full version) and let it graph CPU and charging etc over time. I woke up.and noticed phone had rebooted overnight. I looked at graphs and guess what it basically rebooted when the phone hit 100% charge and then slightly after that. I looked and didn't see high CPU usage or any app running during the time.

I think like said we may be dealing with bad battery it charging. One other time I had a reboot when the phone restarted the battery dropped some 20% in charge. I'm going to let the phone die tonight and then charge it while off overnight to see if it helps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chefy2k4m:
As of lately ive been getting this problem. Not reboots but it just turns off. And I have to take the battery out and put it back in to turn on. Time for a new one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I know its been said a few times that the battery driver on this phone is crap. Have you used any battery widgets or apps? I had good look removing anything that deals with power management and I'm trying it again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rayvenhawk:
Last night my phone displayed the red dying battery so I plugged it in and charged it.

About 2hrs into the charging I got 2 reboots followed by it not waking up, forcing a battery pull.

So I got on tmo chat and the tech was telling me its a bad battery. I do wonder if bad batteries are the cause of all these issues.

Debating on swapping mine out again, im more afraid of the bleeding then random reboots for now. Mine went 3 days before this last reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] harleyxlc:
I have the reboot issue with OEM battery and eBay special battery. usb cable it came with and nook cable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Can you get a replacement battery from TMo without getting a new phone? I'd be up for that to try this out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] importraverxx:
I think one of the reason that cause the reboot is due to a connection problem. The reason I said that is because when I was using it earlier, in very good full signal area, suddenly it stills show 4 bars and the 4g icon but the arrows not moving at all and soon enough it resets. So it could be that there's a problem with the radio band that cause the connection to be very sporadic and when it gets disconnect from the network, I will reset. I am on stock ron and rooted. I tried out nightly cm7 but still get reboot once a day
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CrazyCharlie:
I've had the reboot issue as well. Last night I pulled the sim card out of the phone and turned it back on. It sat all night with no reboots. Put it back in today and it dies within a few minutes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Get a new sim card? What am I missing here?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 299792458:
I was just reading this thread and guess what? Reboot while reading about reboots. That's about 5 in 5 days.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I rarely get reboots when using the phone - 99% of my reboots have always happened while the phone is idling with the screen off. I have a few while using the phone but they've been rare.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rayvenhawk:
Yeah I was debating if I wanted to replace phone or just battery. This phone works great aside from reboots so im tempted to have them send me the battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypersonicx:
I'm rooted with the lag fix and I currently get at leastwise 20 hours of battery life and my current up time is 92hours. That's with no freeze no battery pulls no rebooted.

I use to get reboots but they were rare and after the lag fix I get no reboots.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
Guys with reboot. Try to not use any power or battery app, like juice defender, power widget, ect... See if that helps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Yeah I was about to post the same thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] uploder:
not a reboot but im not making a whole new thread on it.I had a annoying issue this morning. my alarm was set for 6:30. i look @ the clock and its 6:57. I hit the power button to wake my phone and low and behold now the alarm goes off. not a good look. cant wait for a stable release with no bugs. oh ya uptime was around 36 hrs
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rukawa2k:
I haven't got a self reboot for over 30 hours now. Ichange the Weather Bug in my Fancy Widget to Google weather and turned off GPS. The battery seemed to last longer now. Only problem I had which I needed to force the system to restart is because I couldn't get any internet connect off air.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] boylan:
This is probably an important clue - I think the sim card gets scanned fairly early

in the boot process and it being MISSING is probably preventing a full load

of widgets and a complete boot. If you couple this with the other recent

comments about power widgets being implicated I think I would follow those

suggestions to remove that ALL power management stuff for the moment and see if the problem clears.

The sim card itself is just a memory device so there is nothing about it

that is particularly suspect. If you have an empty prepaid sim you could

use that to eliminate OTA networking & call traffic as a root cause - that

should reduce it to on device issues - wifi, apps, battery management,

hardware.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
This is pure speculation but I think that something's happening during the phone's interaction with the SIM card. A card that I used in my G2 that was about two months old got fried as I moved it between my G2 and G2X. I activated the card that came in the G2X box to replace it. I was in a T-Mobile store a week later and was talking to the rep about data issues. He suggested replacing the SIM with an even newer one they just got in that day. When I turned the phone back on I was getting force closes in GMail. I don't use GMail and never even opened it from the time I last rebuilt the phone.

Each time I've had to hard reset my phone it was after doing something with moving data or changing settings. I think something in the boot process gets corrupt and that's when we get "system checking..." Again, I know SIMs have no intelligence of their own but the phone is capable of reading and storing data on them so I'm guessing it's possible for one to become corrupt.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] boylan:
The sim card stores some basic unique id information, an encryption key,

(last) network/location and in theory some network unique option information but

I've never seen any document to substantiate that either tmo or att actually

store any option information on the card. In addition it has the sim

contact information obviously.

The information is rewritable so that means it could go bad but I've never

actually seen a case of that. tmo has released new sims with greater

storage capacity twice I believe. I think the reps tend to send out new

sims because it's easy and especially with longer term customers they

could have an older (smaller capacity) sim and I believe that can cause

network locating problems in odd-ball areas.

My thought is that if you don't have a sim card loaded it can't register

on the network and they probably don't load all/any apps. Again, a few

days with an empty prepaid card might be diagnostic.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Contacts and messages can be stored on the card so read/write is taking place.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I just signed this. I was the 27th signature. Everyone who's experiencing problems should sign it too. Maybe something this public will get LG's attention when it's picked up by the blogs and media.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] boylan:
As I said.

It's not clear that any SERVICE options are actually being

stored on the card although this is supported.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rukawa2k:
signed the petition too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
As I said.

The phone is sending reads/writes to the SIM card. Some type of corruption whether on the phone or SIM card itself is certainly possible. If the data portion of the SIM gets corrupted and it can't be read I'm guessing that the SERVICE options won't get read either. All of this is hypothesis.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Anybody with reboots running DoggCatcher in the background?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bhatch:
Mine won't stop rebooting. It did the reboot loop about 7 times. I pulled the battery waited about 10minutes and fired it back up. It went right back to the rebooting loop.

EDIT: Extra point of data, my wife also has the G2X so I put her SIM card in my phone and my phone still did the reboot loop. I had no reason to think it would fix, but I gave it a shot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rukawa2k:
I turned off GPS and haven't reboot since.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bhatch:
I turned off GPS yesterday and it has rebooted as usual.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rayvenhawk:
Ok not sure how much water this holds but just thought I'd pass it on.

I went to my T-Mobile store today to yet again replace my G2x. The Rep there said he spoke to LG yesterday due to a large amount of exchanges occurring for this phone due to rebooted. He told me LG is aware of this flaw and is working on a software update to fix this and should be sending it out very soon.

I'm not holding my breath but it does give me some hope.

Now the sad thing is as I was powering on the brand new unwrapped phone I got the System Checking. Rep told me that's normal and not to worry, tried telling him my others never said that.

And finally on my other phones if I fully discharged my battery I was forced to pull it to get the phone to charge again. This one now has a battery icon that shows right after the LG logo to tell me the battery is dead. That icon is brand new to me, wonder if LG sent newer phones recently.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
Odd, mine did the same thing tonight (last night...whatever). I checked it and it was no longer in sleep mode but shutdown. I started it and it went on an endless re-boot cycle. Pulled the battery, put it back in and re-boot cycle continued. Pulled battery again and pulled the SIM card...re-installed battery and re-boot cycle started again. Pulled the battery and tried a master reset and got software loading page with no movement. After about a dozen attempts at the master reset it finally took and started up normally.

TMO has authorized an in-store replacement even though I bought on-line. I'll pick up the new one tomorrow and will have until Monday to decide to keep it or not. I plan to run it completely stock with no additional apps loaded except my e-mail app. If all goes well, I'll keep it...if I get one re-boot or freeze and she's gone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] coden1ke:
I have had my phone for a little over a day now and I am on my 3rd reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
So weird, havent had a, reboot thank god... Everyone should compile a list of their apps and see if their is a app that everyone has..

Or anyone think about bluetooth being a issue? I just never use it and never had a issue, who knows, just a thought...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] DeezNotes:
Are you sure you haven't had a reboot? Have you checked your current uptime?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Irishdoom:
FYI I had my first actual reboot yesterday. It was charging off the USB of my laptop, and acting as a mobile hotspot at the time as well. And I should add that it was actually LOSING power during this time, even though I had it plugged into the USB and was just using it for the hotspot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Possitive...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 24bronco:
I had reboot issues on day 2 and 3 of having my phone. I returned it and then I rooted and loaded cyonagen Nightly. I had no reboots for a few days while running this ROM. Then I went back to the stock froyo ROM and the reboots came back, Yesterday at work my phone rebooted like 3 times in a Row and the day before more reboots. I noticed I was running a live wallpaper. So I changed to a regular image and so far no reboots at all. My conclusion is theres a problem with the stock ROM and also when running Live wallpapers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
I rooted the phone a week ago and I've been playing close attention to it. No reboots at all since I froze all of the T-Mobile added items. My guess is one of those items is doing something naughty.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] virus5877:
I rooted my phone 8 days ago when I got it.

I have not frozen any of the t-mobile apps, as I'm waiting for a decent release of CM and not really caring about the stock software.

I have seen this phone reboot about 10 times since i got it 8 days ago. it doesn't do it everyday, and then some days it's done it 3 or more times in one day.

I agree with the thought that it's probably a t-mobile app thing, or at least a stock software thing, so I'm not going to run back to the t-mobile store and get a new phone.

TL;DR: **** the reboots, I'm waiting for a good ROM!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Do you use Bluetooth very often? Do you leave it on or turn if off/on as needed? Do you use any A2DP (stereo bluetooth) at all?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lightning Blue:
I recently started using an A2DP headset, and I turn bluetooth off unless I'm using it. Haven't noticed any instability yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Yeah I use A2DP A LOT but I never leave BT off, it's always on. I'm going to start turning it off when not in use and see if anything changes. It would make some sense if BT was the issue because people have reported that after a random reboot/freeze their phones lose all saved pairings (happened to me once) and I am 100% positive every single time I have had a reboot/freeze my BT has been on (whether it was in use or not doesn't matter).

Interesting...we shall see.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Never use bluetooth here.. Been golden.. I've been suggesting bluetooth for a while now as its the only thing I don't use radio wise... It would make sense. I just want to know its nothardware issue and past my 30 days its not gonna act up..lol

Just be nice to figure out what the real issue is.. Anyways a lot of stink in the media about this, something is bound to be found out sooner or later..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
I have BT always off and still have had reboots, freezes and data connection problems...I think I've used BT two or three times since I got my G2x on the 20th so it might not be related.

I called tmobile today to exchange and they had me reboot the phone, told me to reboot at least once a day and monitor the phone before they can exchange it...so I guess I'll call tomorrow again...

hopefully the patch rumors are real and all these bugs get fixed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
No to all of those. I was having reboots every 3 days or so before rooting and freezing apps though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Well over at the o2x forum the supposed update from lg isn't fixing it..

So, things don't look promising yet on whats causing the issue..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
I think I made the right decision sending mine back...if things improve significantly I'll get another in a heartbeat but not a second sooner.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
So now they are demanding you jump through hoops for days prior to exchanging? Doesn't bode well...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Well I don't know if you made the right decision lol jk because I haven't had the reboot issue or freeze issue. mines actually perfect. I just want to know if the issue arises that there is a fix. II love this DamnDanny phone..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I don't have any freezes or lockups or reboots on CM7. I think it is the stock Kernel that is screwing it up or perhaps something the CM team has working on their kernel.

Stock 2.2 didn't freak out after the patch, but the leaked stock Gingerbread did.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
What patch are you talking about?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jimbo831:
This is worrisome. I was all set to order mine tomorrow first thing in the morning. My wife has an LG Optimus T and she just had to have it exchanged through T-Mobile because it was rebooting about 5-7 times a day minimum. Between the O2x, G-Slate, Optimus T, and now possibly the G2x, not sure how LG phones keep rebooting like this. My Nexus One gets the Android reboot sometimes too, but usually 1-2 times a week or so only.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
My hope is it will be fixable easily since this really is stock android. I think we'll see an update as well. The hard part as confirming the cause. Once that is known you can always look at fixes or workarounds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] biturbomunkie:
i had an optimus t briefly and it was rebooting itself spontaneously throughout the day. i was hoping the g2x would be different but i'd still get one tomorrow.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Don't hear too many purple complaining about this yet, even in reviews so that's good, regardless I'm still getting this beast..... In the morning.I'll keep yall posted..

I have not had a random reboot yet(only had the phone up and running for 15 hours) BUT I have had screen freezes and very very weird behavior. Lags( only occasionally), popup screens staying on screen forcing a reboot to clear it, power button on my unit works sometimes and not others. Call quality goes from quite good to noise on line( happened while on the line with CS and they even called me back and same result) I really want to love this phone but little items keep creeping up so it is only like at this stage. I do hope that LG will send out a fix and if they do I am sure this phone is a Keeper!!!
