I have had the phone for about 30 hours and it has been on and or charging the whole time. Up until 10 minutes ago I would have given the phone a perfect rating. I was out walking my dog and had cardio trainer running when I heard a tinny sound pulled the phone out and all was well, about 30 seconds later I hear this same sound again(thought it might be notification) pulled the device out and lo and behold it was just finishing rebooting. It rebooted back to cardio trainer.The odd or strange thing is that cardio trainer was still running and exactly where it was 30 seconds before and continued on from there to the end of the walk. It is like the reboot never happened(but it did) and all apps were still running. I have never had anything like this happen before. I am concerned that this is the start of the dreaded random reboots I have read so much about in the 02x forum and starting in this as well. Anyone else have this occurrence:confused:?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericc191:
I think these reboots have to do with the tegra2 chip.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cjazz108:
Running longer each day but still random black screen freezes and reboots. It seemed that NY freezes happen when phone is resting on glass or sometimes when in a call near cheek. Proximity sensor maybe?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Naa, does the zoom reboot? If so maybe, if not naa... Ill do a search..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pbputt:
I have had NO issues with my G2x. None!

As a matter of fact, I feel that this thread is nothing more than a troll, albeit a polite one, but trolling none the less.

Let's discuss information that can be of interest and real use by forum users.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Wtf? Because you don't have a problem no one does? What are you 5?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jomaxwel:
I have been having some weird issues.

1. Lockscreen delay will see home screen for a second when waking The phone.

2. Was playing zynga poker last night for about 15min and temp was at 110°f.

3. Last night I left the phone on the charger and the screen wouldn't turn off. The screen came on at some point during the night and when I woke up it was on and the only way I could get it to stay off was to unplug it.

Going to do a hard reset maybe later today.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] uploder:
had my first weird issue like 10 mins ago. just got done surfing the web and went to turn it on vibrate. the sound display wouldnt come up. I couldnt touch the task bar however i could lock the phone. powered down and it was stuck on the "goodbye" animation. had to do a battery pull to fix it. nothing serious but I still couldnt believe it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DeezNotes:
I'm a Verizon user with a Fascinate. I also got a G2x on a new contract to try out the phone and T-Mobile's service for 14 days.

I got the phone yesterday afternoon. I just had my first random reboot. I run speed tests to test the network in comparison to my Verizon phone in key locations. I just ran it and the phone rebooted after the screen went to sleep. One good thing that came from the reboot is that my download speeds went from 300 kbps to 3000 kbps! :D So in that sense, the reboot did me good!

Other than that, the phone hardware is nice and solid like others mentioned. Slightly heavier than my Fascinate, but not too bad. The solid feel is a good trade-off. The touch screen sensitivity could be better, but that is most likely due to the screen protector still being on... and/or some of the apps I'm using. The LCD bleed issue is a non-issue to me. I never stare at a blank black screen, so it really doesn't bother me.

GPS took longer to lock this morning. Yesterday it was pretty instant. I get a 4G signal most of the time, but sometimes the speeds can vary or slow down to 2G speeds (even though I'm getting a 4G signal).

Still have more testing to do, but I'm really considering this phone between the Sensation. I'm used to a 4" screen size due to me using the Fascinate and I thought it was perfect, but now I'm questioning whether the larger higher-resolution Sensation would seem a bit better than this one? Just have to wait and see...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
I answered perfect. I have a screen bleed at full brightness in a dark room which is a scenario that will never be a reality. Who uses full brightness in a dark room?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] saldebot:
I have had the G2x for about 24 hrs and have not had any reboot issues. I do have a very minimal bleeding, not enough for me to return the phone. Coming from MT4G I am extremely happy with the phone. Gps has improved, better 4G signal. I am also running latest LauncherPro.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aohmer:
I am now running into the random reboot issues ... at what point should I take the phone back? I got it yesterday in a local store .. I removed one of the weather widgets, we will see if that was causing the issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kampf:
Random reboot this morning, slight bleeding on top left and right corners, and it does seem to have a difficult time with GPS lock inside a simple structure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay kades:
IVE BEEN HAVING EVEN STRANGER ISSUES---cant mount my 16gb sd card and for some readon It wont let me download no apps from the market---this is just ridiculous ..smh--i have to return this damn phone--or i want my money bak asap
[T-Mobile LG G2x] biturbomunkie:
have you tried backing up and then formatting the sd card? from experience things could get weird when switching phones w/ old sd card contents.

market - you mean you can't d/l even from the market app on the phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cdd543:
Funny it told me that mine was corrupt. I reformatted and it was fine after that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
Ditto on the light - had to go into dark closet and with black screen - barely noticed it.

Other issues:

1. Bluetooth on WiFi calling does not work correctly.

2. The phantom AT&T 3g/4g bands

3. The current situation with not being to separately mount the removable SD card. This may be fixable in the ROM - CM7 nightlies changelog indicates they may be working on this.

4. Battery life not great. However, if you are on WiFi calling mode, it does not drain the battery any where near what it does on the network connection.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Whats #2? Haven't heard of that issue, what is it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
You do not mount the external card. You have to go to sdcard, and then toggle up to _ExternalSD. It should be there. you can access files, but you cannot move apps to it, etc.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aironeous:
I think you guys having reboot issues might have to get a fresh sim. I'm not really having any issues at all. This is my first android phone and I can see right away something wrong with froyo is that it doesn't let you kill an app and exit it when you are done with it so it leaves too many apps running. Also lithium batteries start losing capacity as soon as they are created whether they are used or not and we don't know how old these batteries are. Everyone should be asking for a fresh sim card when you get your phone especially if you came from a 3g phone and you're getting reboots. I don't see the last app I was using being quickly flashed on the screen as an issue since froyo doesn't let me exit/kill the app when I'm done with it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Err. I have the problems and I'm a new t-mobile customer so new sim card. That has nothing to do with it. There's software problems that are causing this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suatae:
Minor issue

I had mine since yesterday and so far I notice a small amount of lcd bleeding at full brightness in a dark closet. I've only noticed this after reading this thread. It's not really an issue for me because everything else works fine and I rarely set my brightness past 50%. I've had no reboot issues as of yet. I'm also running SPB Shell 3D and it still runs very smoothly. :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wootek76:
I got mine yesterday and I notice mine had LCD bleed, it rebooted on it's own once and locking sound is extremely low that you can't barely hear...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
I have a small amount of light bleed. Oh teh noes! I better return/exchange it, because all i ever do is stare at a black screen on my $530 multimedia powerhouse/cellphone:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
I wonder though why some have it worse than others.. Yours reboots a lot and mine does not, some haven't even rebooted.. I hope it gets straightened out..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
Mine just rebooted :mad:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iceshark:
Never give them an option. Easiest way I found before I started only buying at Costco is to tell them it keeps rebooting for no reason over and over all day. They can not sit and wait to see if it does reboot as you claim. They will just swap out within the 14 days.

Better is to always buy at Costco. You get 90 days to try phone and can at anytime return or exchange.. In fact I mess with mine and load and reload files and really push the phone. Then at 85 days or so when I know the phone and know what works with it. I exchange for new one and set it up for use without doing all my trials and such. I use the first phone as test dummy. Gotta love Costco:cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iceshark:
Love the phone. However here are my issues.

1. Phone will lock up when loading web page using Skyfire browser> Funny as my Samsung galaxy s 4g did the same. Never happened on my HD2 running GB roms. I have to end tast and try again or it will not load webpages. Usually stops about third way loaded.

2. I noticed the touch screen is not as responsive as the Vibrant or HTC HD2. I have to sometimes double push on screen to get response. Funny as the Skype works with light touch. But otherwise I really need to peck at screen at times.

3.Using Aloader or ttorrent when downloads are in progress if the screen times out my phone will lock up on black screen and I need to remove battery.

4.Built in speaker for phone calls is not loud enough. Does not have HAC like Samsung to boost internal speaker.

Not an issue but so far the dual proccesor I think is just a marketing tool. It is very laggy trying to do something while downloading torrent or using a memory using appt..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] uploder:
could it be that rooting your phone is causing all these issues? i didnt look thru every single post but maybe we need to take that into account? ive only had the one freeze so far on my device....not yet rooted.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] almostinsane:
I wouldn't say this is the dual core proc but Android not being ready for multi-core processors. When 2.2 came out there were no dual core procs. 2.3? I don't believe nay were on the market. We will probably have to wait until Icecream for Android to fully utilize muli-core procs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donutman:
You're thinking in terms of "windows". You don't have to kill apps on android/linux.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iceshark:
You may have a valid point! I got mine yesterday and did not have any of the issues except low volume.

Rooted this morning and now they minor issues. Would be interested to hear from others.

I know on the Samsung Galaxy g 4s page others thought after root they had small issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gamecheif:
Well guys i am having a data issue. check out my Youtube video i am not impressed.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] cnraghu:
I had G2x for 24 hrs. It was blazing fast. I had slight LCD bleed but that is not a show stopper for me.

I could not just take the reboots both while unrooted and rooted. I had 10-12 reboots and couple of freezes (where I had to pull the battery out) in the past 24 hrs. Unfortunately I could not exchange it as the stores were out of stock. I had to return it in the wait for next availability.

No regrets to go back to my ever green Nexus One till I get the next G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cnraghu:
BTW, I also tried factory reset and a new SIM. Nothing could stop the reboots. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
Check thread on it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tazzam72:
Same Here can't connect My phone to my car Blue tooth
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyberchuck9000:
These are my day 1 issues:

- First random reboot. Happened shortly after updating the market.

- Parts of the system became unresponsive, like the notification bar and menu. Tried to reboot, had to pull the battery to get it to shut down.

- Got stuck in landscape mode and wouldn't go back. Had to pull battery to get it to shut down.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mookie_Jones:
im not sure if the g2x is everything that im looking for in a phone. I like it alot, and much more than my vibrant, but the led for the flash sucks. i can still live with it. seems to me like alot of people are just dying to find something wrong with their phones so they have a reason to complain. Id suggest filing a class action lawsuit next as thats usually the way things go.

I formatted my sd and tried many different sd cads (I have like six)---still stays stuck on reading media card for ever I mean hours----because of this I cant use the default music player or any other media app cuz it says media scanner running..im returning this phone today for another..dont want to deal with this..at all...( or i'll wait for the htc sensation)..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donutman:
So after I said i had no reboots, I woke up to find my phone rebooted. So far,.just one reboot that I know of since tuesday. Auto brightness seems kind of flaky. It changes every time I move the phone. Seems too sensitive. Still like the phone though. Not enough yet for me to return it.
[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 :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DeezNotes:
My car only does Bluetooth calling. That works just fine on this phone.

So far I've only had 1 reboot and after that happened my data speeds increased a bit. Battery is pretty good so far too (I think).

The touch screen responsiveness and scrolling are probably both currently my biggest issues and they're not really that bad.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] uploder:
well there goes my theory about only rooted ones having issues. Just had my 1st reboot :(. It happened as i was using an rss reader i got from the market. (sparse? i think)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Interesting, I've only had 1 reboot where I was actually using the phone - all the other issues I've had in the past was when the was sitting idle with screen off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Serotheo:
I just got mine today, there's LCD bleeding but it doesn't bother me too much, I use my phone on 50% brightness most of the time if not lower anyways.. no reboots so far; I'm not so sure on battery though.. took about an hour to drain the last 1% of battery I had remaining, with 3G and HSPA+ on.. takes a while to charge if you ask me.. well 1 hour got me to 58%, I'll have to put it through some battery testing as soon as I get it to 100%
[T-Mobile LG G2x] abowmedia:
Picked up my first g2x on the 20th. It had bad backlight bleeding and rebooted about 8 times in 3 hours. So I went back to my Nexus One and returned the first one. Now i'm on my 2nd g2x, and i'm still getting the backlight bleeding, but thankfully no rebooting. I'm considering keeping this one, but the light is bleeding from the upper left and right corners, and the entire bottom. The bottom is leaking so bad it causes the bottom of the screen to be slightly brown when i'm on an all white background as well.

I'm very happy with the phone, so the screen issues are kind of bugging me out. I think im going to wait like 6 days and then see if the store gets a new batch, perhaps it will work better.

GPS has been a bit flakey too, but there's been times my N1 wouldn't pick up signal either, so I guess it is what it is.

If it wasn't for the screen leaking, this would be the phone of my dreams.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cdd543:
Mine has been smoother since I rooted and killed the t-mobile apps. For me launcher pro has been less laggy than stock launcher. Been pretty impressed with tmo service as well only losing 4g and signal entirely inside a movie theater.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CyanSlowly:
I also have this issue, this should be on the poll.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
How many people having issues are having them while on wifi and while on wifi calling. The last two times my phone has rebooted its been on wifi with wifi calling but not sure that has anything to do with it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krylon360:
Ive had the phone since release, rooted it as soon as I opened it up, haven't had a single reboot, nor any lcd bleed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeffreynew23:
I am having the reboot issue and my screen wouldn't wake up several times. I am taking it to a T-Mobile store and getting a new one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brian6685:
No issues here, had the phone since Tuesday and been rooted the whole time. No bleeding no reboots.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] blushrts:
purchased phone 4/20, running ADW EX and rooted. No reboots other than to root, and no major issues. Noticed the home screen displays for a second when unlocking and reception is poor downstairs in my house. Patiently waiting for CM7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
I'm not using WiFi or WiFi calling at all and I'm having endless lockups. I'm also not rooted either.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cbbplanet:
Using LauncherPro, not rooted. I'm having issues where wifi is connected but its choosing to use data network. Someone mentioned it might be because wifi is sleeping? Any suggestion to how to change the settings to avoid wifi going in sleep mode?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
How often are they happening? I'm using wifi and wifi calling and they happen only like once a day.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericc191:
I called about doing an exchange and they told me they only had two left and wont let me exchange for either one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] electric33l:
You can disable Wi-Fi entering sleep mode by going to settings>networks>wifi>"hit menu button">hit advanced>wifi sleep mode. Just select the never option and you're good to go.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cbbplanet:
^ thanks! seems like its still doing the same thing but at least it jumps back on wifi faster now. Another thing I noticed is that once I go into the text messaging, none of my contact's pictures shows up on the icon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Serotheo:
Had my first 'black screen' issue, you know where the phone won't wake without a battery pull, I panicked -_- because I took out the battery and put it back but it still wouldn't turn on.. so I had to reattempt.

Also, is anyone else worried about breaking the G2x battery door cover? When you take it off I mean, always finding myself prying around the cover instead of just ripping it off from the bottom's latch (I mean once I loosen it from the bottom I slide my nail around.)

But so far no reboots and slight Blacklight bleeding.

Edit: I did notice though my Browser kept closing on me when I was using the browser with small amounts of flash on it this morning (which was odd) and market force closed before.. things seemed a bit jerky and laggy, odd for a dual-core I mean.. cause it lagged on Phonedog.com while pinching and zooming with flash and what not, so that might have been a sign, anyways.. it appears to be back to functioning normally without lag.

I'll keep posted for further issues if I get any.. loving Flash ;) Migrated from a Cliq.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samson_420:
This kinda of sucks, as always they did not do proper quality control testing. Me so far, few reboots when I was doing some file editing. But, that was it. Back light bleeds like a mother on startup but nowhere else too noticeable. I deleted all the T-Mobile garbage and maybe now the internet is doing okay.

I know we love Modding our phones but it sucks that we have to. Why can't some issues be corrected before the phone is launched? WiFi calling that counts against your minutes. WTF? Loser giant companies.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Give it a little time. I got the Droid Incredible on day 1 last year and that phone would reboot whenever it switched towers for a bit before a patch. They can only test so much and its catch 22. They could test the phone longer but then you'd complain you can't buy it yet. No win situation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btmec:
I called T-mobile tech support and he checked his notes about a fix for these issues and said the ETA is mid summer. I'm not hanging on to this phone and hope they fix the issues by summer. He said he would take it back if he was in my position. I hate to cause I love the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hdxnickka:
I received my g2x on the 19th. I just experienced my first two random reboots..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c3plok:
I've only had this for 24 hrs. Back light bleeds pretty bad all the way around but i generally dont notice it, only at boot. One black screen freeze after bloat freezer fc issue. Pulled battery and rebooted.No problems since.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bvc:
I exchanged mine and the new one has no problem... stock + LP is better than any custom rom I've ever tries on any phone I've owned
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cdd543:
I have now started getting the black screen shutdowns mentioned previously. 2 days in a row. Have to pull battery to get it to come back on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alnova1:
I have had mine for 2 days and.nothing so far. The only thing I have a problem with is I can't keep a 4g signal in my house so I switch it to wcdma only in network settings and I keep 4g...otherwise I get 2g or g..

Amazing what a jerk you are :eek:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] S0NiX0928:
...

I've had the phone since 4/20 and no problems until today. Been using this device heavily and only today did it start to reboot randomly... Once while locked and idle for about 3 minutes and the second time while I was using the xda app. I've also noticed that the power widget freezes up LauncherPro on this phone (either of the toggle switches can and have froze LP. However, when LP freezes all I have to do is hit the home hard-key and the screen unfreezes (doesn't blink, flash or reset LP. Just starts working again).

This phone is a beast and I was loving it up until yesterday when the LP freezes started to occur and now today with the reboots... This is so disappointing coming from the Vibrant (which was a ****box to say the least) to only have the next "latest and greatest" smartphone from T-Mobile to perform like it was still in beta testing. I have a feeling this is either software or maybe battery related (particularly because this phone gets quite hot).

** And while trying to replicate the LP freeze problem (which I managed to three times by toggling the the power control widget) Last.fm force closed. Just giving as much input as possible here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] piztol44pete:
I have 2 issues, One is major battery drain and the 2nd is data connection although it shows a strong 4g connection i still loose connectivity, the Battery issue am still working on but the connectivity issue i called T-Mobile and they reset my SIM card and since they did that on Saturday i have not lost connection although my speeds are sub par, i was getting faster readings with my HD2.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] h0wlings0nnets:
only issues i have had is :

the cell standby using up 48% of my battery BUT i know that we will find a way to fix it in the future...

the phone when turned of after draining the battery to charge it randomly will turn itself back on by the morning....but whatever im sleeping hahaha

other than that i have no issues with the phone....

perfect size...perfect screen...battery needs more loving than im used to for now but...i love it
