[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
It was on the charger overnight (actually, a myTouch slide charger) and was in my pocket before being placed on the table. I was just about to pick it up when I thought I heard it vibrate. Tried to wake it up and it would not do anything...held the power button for several seconds to no avail. Pulled the battery and it re-booted fine and has been running fine since then.

No unusual apps installed...I am running LauncherPro though.

Looks like the folks in Europe are experiencing the same issues with the 2x and LG has admitted a software issue....we shall see. I may end up back to my Bionix Vibrant.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Hmmm interesting. IT JUST happened to me again sitting on my desk. I'm ALSO running LauncherPro. I'm going to switch back to stock launcher and see what happens.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
Has anyone here or on the O2x forums attempted to pull a logcat?

Edit: May not matter, apparently LG is already sending out a fix for the O2x. Can't imagine the G2x wouldn't be included at least in the very near future. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13026129&postcount=16
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Just to be sure, I'm on phone with T-Mobile asking for an exchange so I can see if the one they send me still has the same problem or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Wow I totally have a dud - waiting for my replacement. I just received a call and was talking with someone. Hung up and the phone wouldn't turn back on! Luckily it was polite to wait until after the call was over to die on me. What a piece of crap. I really hope the replacement is somewhat better. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericc191:
Mine rebooted just now while trying to play the game Dillo Hills (Tiny Wings clone)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
i've had mine since yesterday afternoon. while sitting at work on my break today, i was testing gps using google nav. sudden reboot. first time since getting it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samnada:
Other than the reboot how was the GPS? :)

Seriously, I'm very interested in GPS experiences. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericc191:
I'm in Davis, CA and it got a lock on me inside my apartment in under 5 seconds. Pretty impressive.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] roymcfreely:
A fix

FIXED MINE!!

So mine was rebooting everytime without fail specifically when it was off battery and locked with the screen off for 2 minutes, I would just get a non responsive black screen pop out the battery and it worked fine (I also got a couple reboots). While it was plugged it worked fine and would NOT freeze/reboot.

I was using my sim card which was given to me by Tmobile in January of THIS YEAR.

Replacing it with the one that came in the box fixed the problem. I haven't had it fixed for long but I am not getting the obvious problems that I saw before.

My theory is its a software problem that has to do with switching to low power standby, and a bad sim card can set it off. So if you're having reboots definitely make sure you're using the SIM that came with it, it might not be the only cause but it certainly can be a cause/trigger. Also in comparing the two SIMs they did have a different arrangement of the gold contacts if anyone was wondering.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericc191:
Hmm, I kept my same old sim card as well. Unfortunately, I didn't get a new one with my phone, so I can't test.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
i activated my new sim card immediately yesterday when my phone arrived. phone rebooted on it's own today.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
if i click on navigation, it seems like it just won't connect. but if i click maps, then go to navigation from within maps, it locks on very quick. i had this same issue on my g1. but...it works to say the least.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericc191:
As long as this is a software issue, we can expect a fix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] UCFJake:
I just got mine this afternoon and I have had three rebooted all when connected to non - LG chargers and when screen is off. Its like an extended sleep. No buttons are responsive and I have to pull the battery to reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Did you all seem to miss the post that was made yesterday about LG is aware of this problem and will have it fixed by the end of the month?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Did you miss the fact that they never talked about the G2X just the 2X. They have different software so why would one update work on the other? Also for those of us having the problem it may not be soon enough. Try having a phone that's unreliable and unstable and see how long you last.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Frag x 3:
I haven't had any issues with reboots, but the battery life worries me. 7 hours of uptime, and I'm hovering above 20%. Ouch.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I lasted 8 months with a phone that couldn't lock a accurate GPS signal on a clear sunny day thank you very much.

Anywho, if LG is aware of the problem they will fix it. If it's not soon enough for you then just take your phone back and use your old one until they update it. Or better yet just keep exchanging it until you get a working unit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
No reboots here...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ssb33:
While I do not reboots - I have had freezes. Had to pull the battery to start. This seems to have happened whenever the phone went to sleep while the wifi calling was active. And in both cases it was connected to wifi. Any chance that this could be an issue?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
Just got my G2X today. 8:30 minutes uptime. No reboots, no freezes so far. Moderate use.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tenbeau:
I have had my G2x up and running for 30+ hours. Up until about 20 minutes ago it had displayed some quirks(power button-calls buzzing-screen freeze but no real random reboots.. I had cardio trainer recording a workout(which I had done most of the day)and while out walking my dog I heard this strange tinny sound I had never heard before. I pulled the device out of my pocket and everything seemed fine, cardio trainer was still recording my walk and seemed to be very accurate. About 30 seconds later I hear the same sound and I pull it out again and lo and behold the device was just finishing rebooting and the really strange thing was that it rebooted right back to cardio trainer and it was still running right where it was 30 seconds before. It continued to run to the conclusion of the walk. It is like the reboot never happened but yet it did I saw the tail end of it with the G2X screen etc.I have never had anything like this happen before. Anyone else have the same experience or have any idea what happened or what might have caused it?:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fhaines:
30 hours and fine

Ive had mine up and running for about 30 hours or so with no problems,no reboots.

fhaines:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
I think there is something wrong with the GPS. GPS Test and GPS Status showing really powerful signal from my G2X. I get around 30s and 40s on my Vibrant and MyTouch3GSlide, but this thing goes up to 350. That is just insanely strong signal.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
I've had one reboot in the ten hours or so I've been using it. I had just walked out to the car from my house, where I was on wifi, and plugged in the car charger cable. I noticed when I turned the car on and the charger got electricity that the screen of the phone didn't turn on as I had expected, and it rebooted after that. No other problems so far, though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
just got from T-mobile today ! no reboots issue !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] almostinsane:
After two days of use I just had my first reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Minker17:
Is your wifi sleep policy set to never?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
I will check today google navigation....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Just used Google Navigation and it worked fine for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samnada:
According to this document

http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7189

"the maximum theoretical SNR of a GPS signal at the antenna input is 58 dB"

Just a guess but I suspect the G2x is reporting SNR's off by a power of 10, so your 350 is probably 35. I've seen others reporting SNR's in the 200-240 range which would also make sense /10.

What really matters though, at least to me, is the time to get a good lock, accuracy, and whether it keeps the lock over time. How's your GPS look using that criteria?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ssb33:
No - it is set to "screen turn off"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikea3000:
those of you who had reboots, does the phone fully reboot and go thru the start up animation? I think mine may have just rebooted for the first time but not sure. i heard it vibrate for a second and then it all apps restarted but there was no start up animations
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
My reboots have reduced in frequency enough to live with. Last one happened after 24 hours and now I'm running so far for 18 hours without a single issue. It's definitely software related.

At first I uninstalled a battery status app and that helped and then I uninstalled NYTimes app which was taking up like 25MB of storage and CPU for some odd reason. I think there are bugs in the stock ROM that are exposed by different apps you might use.

I'm also holding on for CM7 on here :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikea3000:
So i had my first 2 reboots last night. They happened about 10 minutes apart while on the stock charger. After the second occurance, i uninstalled some apps that i recently installed and it has not occured since. I also have a case on the phone which i removed after the second reboot, thought it might may been causing the phone to get extra warm during charging.

So I am not sure what stopped the reboots, the removal of the apps or the removal of the case.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Which app did you uninstall?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikea3000:
I uninstalled a few:

cnn

last.fm

radio.com

i heart radio

where

around me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samnada:
So try putting the case back on, then the apps one at a time.

If you really want to figure it out...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I only have CNN on mine and it hasn't rebooted often. If I have to guess an app in your list that COULD have been the problem I'd guess either Where or Aroundme since I'm guessing they run in the background and use GPS/location.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crking1980:
Man I must be lucky. My phone doesn't reboot or experience these bleeding screens
[T-Mobile LG G2x] peacekeeper05:
Im lucky too. No reboots, no lags no excessive bleeding... lovin' it.

Now waiting for cm7 :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I am having many issues with reboots and freezes. So much so I went back to my HD2. The phone is not usable. I bought two at the same time and did not root the other one. My wife is using it with no problems.

Could rooting the phone be the problem? I used the method in this forum. Which Super One Click version have people been using? 1.8 or 1.65?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samnada:
How badly do you want to figure this out?

You could start by doing a factory reset on the rebooting one. Make all settings match the good phone. Does it still reboot? If so, it's likely a HW problem. If not, then root it again and add no apps. Does it reboot? If so, problem is rooting. Unroot to verify. If it's not rebooting after rooting, then add apps one at a time until the culprit is found.

You might also find out that the factory reset solved the problem, as some others have reported. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redfarsi:
I wonder if cyanogen is getting reboots with gingerbread. Can someone post on his twitter asking him about reboots with cm7 on the g2x?

It seems like a software issue it just happens randomly. Perhaps, its overheating or a graphics card driver issue from nvidia.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ssb33:
It could very well be overheating. On all occasions my phone refused to start, it was charging off the main charger. Now that I am charging using only the USB cable I have not had my phone freeze.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I have done several things. The first was resetting the phone. Then I unrooted. Then I reset the phone again. Still having issues. My wife is laughing at me because I am supposed to be the more knowledgeable between us regarding techno toys.

I think I am headed back to the store this evening.

Is there a way to block ads without root? Thats all I really wanted to do. Still new to android, so I appreciate any help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samnada:
Don't know about non-root ad block.

To many variables to know for sure what's causing your issue. If it were me I'd exchange it, then use it without rooting for a while to make sure it's solid. That should eliminate HW as the cause.

Supposedly LG has acknowledged a bug and promised a patch, but who knows when that might happen, or if it accounts for all the reboot reports.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] myplague:
Is anyone having their apps exit to your homescreen randomly either while using them or just having them open?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fryhole:
Come to think of it, I'm not sure if mine has restarted at all when off of the supplied charger. Anybody else have a similar experience?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Mine has rebooted off the charger a bunch and froze (screen off requiring battery pull) off the charger too. I don't believe it's the charger at all.

I really feel it's apps. If anyone wants to verify, reset to factory and use it wihtout installing a single app. If it still reboots then we know it's something else.

Right now, my reboots are not happening as frequently, last one was 24 hours ago and the one before that was about 24 hours ago. Prior to that I'd get them within minutes or hours.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
Our Android might be vanilla but the kernel itself is custom done by LG for this phone. So a software solution that fixes the O2X might still help us.

I got mine on release day in store and over the last 2 days I've had numerours reboots and lockups. More lockups than reboots though. They've happened on charger and off charger. I really do not think this has anything to do with the GPS though since I just drove 8 hours yesterday using this phone as my navigation the entire time, and as long as I left it on and running the phone had no reboot or lockup issues. It's when I put it in standby that the lockups happen. This morning alone I had 4 lockups in a matter of 1 hour with it just sitting on the table. I then spent the rest of the day driving around town with the navigation running without a single lockup or reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] i23mix:
I have played with the phone with no sim card inserted and am also getting reboots/standby lockups as well. This is the most times that I have had to battery pull a phone :( Thinking about going to the store and getting an exchange.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Yes I completely agree - it's some type of power management/standby issue because for me as well - the reboots although rare only happen when it's sitting in standby.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
It's pretty much at the point now where if I leave it in standby doing nothing for more than 5 minutes it's pretty likely to have locked up. However I just did the 8 hour drive back and if I leave Navigation running in the background it doesn't lock up. However I'm pretty sure this is because the phone does not actually go into standby. I installed System Stats Live Wallpaper and it's very easy to see with Navigation running the CPU & RAM don't go into standby at all but when it's not running they do.

I'm doing a backup and then I'm going to do a system reset to see if that at least helps make this happen less. I'm going to try removing the SD card as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
Most of my problems arise when the phone is on the wall charger and it falls asleep. After 2 minutes, it freezes and I have to pull the battey. This is everytime. It doesn't happen when I charge via computer or car charger. At present I have it set up to not sleep when charging and I've had no freezes since. I believe this is a over heating problem. Gonna request an exchange Monday.

I did have something strange happen. The phone restarted and when into start-up. I message stating checking system appeared. For the next 20 minutes it continued to cycle the boot process. Had to do a hard reset to get it to stop.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
I really do not think this has anything to do with heat. I've had the phone lock up on wall charger, USB charger, car charger, no charger. It's only when the phone goes into full standby which requires the phone to not be running any processes that keep it from sleeping, which dissabling sleep when plugged in would do.

I pulled the memory card and it seems to have decreased how often the issue happens but it's still happening. I've got CatLog running now recording every 20 lines to memory in hopes of catching a process that might be triggering right before the crash happens. The phone when in standby comes out of stadnby every X period of time to perform tasks and then goes back so if it is a software task it should then write out the logcat lines that happen right before failure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericc191:
I called up two different T-Mobile locations and told them my phone has some pretty hideous backlight bleeding. They both said oh well and that I could not exchange. We need an app that causes random lockups and/or reboots. I've never had this much trouble trying to exchange a phone. My phone has rebooted 3 times and locked up requiring a battery pull once, but if I tell them that now, they're still going to tell me too bad and all I can do is return it with a 10% restocking fee. So is an app like that even possible?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flexnix:
I'm having the same issue. I've had 2 reboots. I've only had the phone about 7 hours. First time was the first time I loaded Need For Speed just after it passed the "EA" logo it rebooted. Then randomly me doing something else. So I doubt its an app. I was having the same issue with Froyo on my Samsung Vibrant the past 2-3 months. Hmm!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
Ok so I did a system wipe and loaded up a fresh OS and then skipped the google account loading. I also left my 16 GB sdcard out of the phone. So this was a pure load, no apps installed, no SDcard, and only a SIM, and it STILL locks...

I even unmounted the internal SDcard portion and formatted it to ensure any erroneous data files were not impacting the system, but it locked up on me while the card was dismounted...

I'm probably going to try swapping the phone tomorrow because I could live with it lockign once per day, but this a couple times an hour is just making it unusable. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Can safely tell you that your phone is defective. I haven't had a lock in days and I'm getting one reboot a day right now. Almost always after 24 hours of perfect use with hard usage of all apps and functions. I'm hoping that reboot stops but I can live with it.

Also luckily have a phone with no blacklight bleeding. All I need now is Cyanogen and I'm in mobile heaven.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Had the phone since 4/20 with no lag, no reboots and no freezes. The G2X is snappier than anything else I have ever used.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
reminds me of

other than that how was the play mrs lincoln.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
Going to go try a new SIM card first, I realized I'm still running the same oen I got with my T-Mobile Wing... My phone is locking up enough that I'll be able to sit in the store and see if it fixes it or not and then just swap it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I'm crossing my fingers and toes. See pic.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] S0NiX0928:
My phone randomly reset after being locked and idle for a few minutes. About and hour or so later I was cruising xda to start researching the problem further (because I had noticed this thread way before the problems started rolling in) and my phone rebooted while using the xda app! =\ On top of that these past two days LauncherPro has been locking up like crazy on this phone. It will freeze when I use the power control widget that comes stock (from toggling wifi to sync, etc) from time to time. And when LauncherPro does lockup usually pressing the home key resolves it.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with LauncherPro... or perhaps apps not playing nice with the OS?.. Either way this is furthering my disappointment with T-Mobile after coming from a ****box Vibrant...

* Also worth noting all the reboots started today (only two so far) and the LauncherPro lockups have been going on at least since yesterday...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jgreat122:
I've been having rebooting issues and random freezing with my phone as well, however I may have found something to remedy the problem. If you connect to wifi and then go to wifi calling and change the settings to cellular preferred, then turn off wifi calling, it may fix the random reboots. I've done it and its been a day since my last reboot. Hopefuly this works for you guys.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
My reboots appear to have stopped for now. I have uninstalled nearly all the T-Mo software that was on the phone and that appears to have made the phone smoother. I still use Wifi calling and it seems to work well. I'll report back if and when I have my next reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechFu:
I got the phone at a T-mobile store on Wed April 20. So far the most battery lasted was about 10 hours (i was getting 12-14 hrs on my Nexus One) and this was using Default Launcher & including leaving off a charger over night. I am pretty sure that i had no lock ups causing me to pull battery since i was using default launcher. Also, I am pretty sure all my lock ups were when using Launcher Pro. With that said, when i first got the phone and installed Launcher Pro i restored from a backup (my other phone is/was a Nexus One unrooted w/Gingerbread) to restore all my shortcuts on home screen etc..

So last night after having no lock ups using default launcher, I switched back to Launcher Pro. I was using it for about ½ before bed and no lockups. Then put it on the charger...and went to bed. This morning I woke up without the Alarm and checked the time... would you believe it..my phone was dead (well unresponsive). So i did a battery pull and reset to default launcher. At this time i decided to reset Launcher Pro back to defaults. This did not seem to work so i removed Launcher Pro and rebooted the phone and re installed Launcher Pro from the market and did not do a restore of any backups … instead i just recreated a bunch of icons and widgets etc... so only time will tell. I guess i will see what the next 24-48 hours brings running Launcher Pro this way.

So those of you with reboots/freezes/lock ups etc... try running the default launcher for 24-48 hours and see what happens. I am actually wondering for those who have not experienced any issues like that if they were

A) running the default launcher

B) running another Launcher

C) Running another launcher and restored a previous backup from another phone.(again mine was a nexus One, unrooted w/ Gingerbread)

D) Did some type of a restore of a backup (Launcher/Apps widgets etc..) from another phone / OS (Froyo vs Gingerbread)

Some or any of the above may have nothing to do with anything, just my thoughts and observations that may help someone else and point them in a different direction in their troubleshooting.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
Same here. No issues except slight light bleeding.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Had issues with LauncherPro so I switched to ADW EX and no issues at all. Super buttery smooth and stable as a rock so far!! Crossing my fingers. Was up for over 30 hours (heavy usage of everything) until I rebooted it because I deleted some TMo apps from system folder.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
I went and swapped my aged SIM card for a new one and a freshly wiped stock G2x and I thought I was going fine for a couple hours then it started locking up again. I was going to swap the phone but they were sold out so going to keep trying till I can get a new one. I think my issues are specific to my phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] S0NiX0928:
Is there someway we can confirm that LauncherPro is causing the issues..? Is there anyone out there experiencing these problems like rebooted and lockups running off solely the default/stock froyo launcher?..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
Several people with stock phones have reported issues.
