N only is still different than mixed mode.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
I am trying to get my new phone reboots by itself but I couldn't. I tried b,g and n only. They are all the same. My old phone shut off randomly. Hardware issue?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
Except the phone is rooted and SIM unlocked, I keep the bloat intact.

My G2x doesn't encounter freezing or reboot after flashed back to stock. No matter wifi is on or not.

Perhaps certain application causes this issue. You have to check it one by one. Probably moving app to SD can be an issue (I keep all apps on application storage).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
Could be the MicroSD. Someone needs to test different microsd cards on this phone. I used a Kingston on my old phone that had reboots, but Lexar microsd on the new phone now with no problem. I didn't get reboots until I started using microsd card. When I had auto shut off on my old phone, I could boot up the phone with either microsd or battery pull.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
I use Sandisk 32GB (from MT4) and it works fine so far.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Anybody not having reboots use their Bluetooth a lot? Do you leave it on all the time? Do you use stereo Bluetooth?

I just realized the whole time on vacation I never used Bluetooth while I use it a lot here. Maybe another angle.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
This is one I've been thinking... Cause I've had no reboots and never used bluetooth once..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JWhipple:
I woke up in the middle of the night and this came to me - I have NO idea why!

I had two G2X's with the reboot/freezing issues, both in CM7 and Stock ROMs, with/without 3rd party/market apps. Both have been returned and I am back on a G2 now, but if we can figure this out, I *WILL* be going back to a G2X!

I had never considered one thing that both phones had in common - my MicroSD card. I never tested the phones without the card because it never had occurred to me that might be the issue.

I had in both the same Class 4 Sandisk 16GB MicroSD .

Is anyone else using the same card? Has anyone tested without a MicroSD?

It may not even be the card itself, it may be the reader in the phone!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
I'm testing a brand new exchange phone now. Leaving it stock with no software installed by me. No SD card. It already powered down by itself once while charging and required a battery pull.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JWhipple:
Brand new, as in brand new brand new, or an actual warranty exchange where they may have sent you a "refurb" that may have been one of the screwed up ones that someone returned?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
It's a warranty exchange by mail. So it came just alone with no battery or back cover. It could be a refurb, but it looks brand new to me with all the little teeny weenie plastic stickers on all the buttons just as my original one came as. I think it's too soon for them to have started re-cycling unit for refurb, no?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnyp500:
Not at all, so many people on this forum exchanged their phones that sounds like Tmobile has many exchange phones to give out already.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
But would they give out phones that are returned for having a problem without fixing the problem first? That would be pretty ballsy. I would assume they send the returned phones all back to LG, LG has to certify them as working condition or fix them, and then the refurbs go back to T-Mob. Given that LG knows there's a problem (supposedly according to some members here), I doubt they'd send the phones back to T-Mob before implementing the supposed software patch that is coming.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Luthien1:
Rebooting freezin is from nonparched software that was flashed...only flash cynogen till patch comes out
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phaet2112:
No microSD yet, only one freeze in the two weeks Ive had it while it was trying to download a 10 mb file over email. Otherwise has synced with push and works fine. Bluetooth off, usually using 2g only, sometimes 4g/2g auto. WiFi on. Charging via wall outlet and computer. Haven't flashed or done anything to it yet- purely stock. Only added a few apps so far- angry birds, simi clock, opera.

Wonky microSD cards are a good culprit, IMHO.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Or Bluetooth which your post supports.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnyp500:
Not really, they get classified into "customer is full of ****" and "send back to LG". It goes through a tech guy who either returns it to stock or marks it as defective. I use to work at a phone company and each time a return would come it would get tested and either marked defective or shipped as a replacement. The question is do they consider these bleeds as a defect or do they consider it a regular LCD known side effect. It really all depends on their criterion for whats considered damaged and whats not. So maybe they do maybe they don't although personally im pretty sure they send em out as replacements.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
ah but we're talking about reboots and shut downs, not LCD bleeds. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnyp500:
Yes but if a tech guy is testing to see whther or not the phone is defective i doubt that hes gonna hold it for a week until the reboots begin.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
True. I just don't know what to do now.

EDIT: (crossposted on another thread as well) Since this is my 2nd phone with reboot and freezing issues, I decided to give up and get something more reliable. I tried my best to love the G2x. My 30 days were almost up so I jumped ship and returned it and got a Nexus S instead. Can't keep exchanging since my 30 days of remorse period are almost up. Certainly not as powerful, but it should be bug free. Unlike others on here, I won't start a flaming thread on how I'm ditching the G2x :). Maybe I'll back to it once the bugs are worked out. Good luck fellow G2x owners !
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ilanad:
Well, here's a curious data point, we exchanged both our Gx2's after 10 days of solid performance. Then they started the reboot tango. Both of them.

Same day.

Did the exchange. Got two new ones in sealed retail boxes, both the 4/28 batch. Both good for days, then they both rebooted.

Within 30 seconds of each other.

Started keeping logs. The only place we get reboots are around our house, usually within seconds of each other. If only one is there, only one reboots. No reboots at work or out and about.

Curious yes?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JWhipple:
Curious indeed! Sounds like there was a 4G dropout in signal at the house and both phones choked trying to deal with it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
I noticed that mine will freeze and require a battery pull if i leave it on the charger overnight. When i wake up i cant take the phone out of standby and my alarm never goes off and i have to battery pull. When it's not charging overnight it does not do it. I read in a different thread that it could be a battery issue. I'm not sure though. When you guys experience freezes is the phone charging? I only get freezes when charging overnight.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JWhipple:
I picked up a 3rd G2x , run it hard on the BIONIX v2 ROM for the entire first day, ran SMOOTH... Then plugged in to charge while I was asleep - when I woke in the morning phone was hard frozen.

Pissed me off quite a bit because it caused me the 3rd G2X lockup-related ass-chewing at work because I got called in the middle of the night but never got the call.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Are any of you with the freezing while charging using any type of battery widget or notification app at all?!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JWhipple:
No, no notification or battery widgets installed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I think it's a battery issue as in there's a bad batch of batteries. That's way more likely than bad phones IMHO. What would be awesome is if we have 2 G2Xs, one that reboots/freezes and one that doesn't and try swapping the batteries. That might be the best way to put the possible battery issue to rest.

I honestly think it's software related to the LG battery driver being garbage which they'll fix in a patch.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
I had this overnight charge freeze issue occur on Faux's ROM which 100% AOSP based so that wouldnt be using LG's battery driver correct?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Yes I believe it does. AOSP is built from source but in a lot of cases they have to use some of the proprietary kernel modules and drivers to get the thing to work properly. This would explain why on CM7 the battery % is so whacky on G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
I've been following you since day 1 here, I keep hoping you figure it out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JWhipple:
On that 3rd phone I had all intentions of bringing it back to the store yesterday during lunch, ended up not because I simply didn't get a lunch break, but since my 14 days started again fresh when I picked up this new one on Sunday, I think I may experiment a little with this one before taking it back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
LOL

Thanks, me too. I did Comp Sci for undergrad and I'm doing a masters in Comp Sci now so this stuff intrigues me. Rather than get frustrated and return the phone I actually find it quite interesting/challenging :D

Our phone is a computer, computers don't act on free will or because they feel like it, there is always a direct cause - it's fun trying to figure it out :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Ahhh, I could tell you had some knowledge. Well goodluck, I still have yet to get a reboot, I just hope its fixed for yall that do have the issue.. Cause frankly that would annoy me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JWhipple:
Took my 3rd G2x back today - I got the classic , "I have that same phone but I'm not having any problems with it" horse crap from the sales guy. No offers for a change in battery , just an attitude and a $10 restocking free.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
It is impossible to determine problems with specific people but I do find it weird that you would be on your 3rd phone with "battery issues". Sounds like it is something you are installing or doing improperly. Out of your 3 phones, you are the only common denominator.

Different phones, different batteries. Chances of you getting 3 duds in a row out is slim to none unless you are buying from the same bad batch from the same store.

I've had 2 G2x's and both had exceptional battery life. I use them pretty heavy too.

To figure out the problem you need to eliminate all of the possibilities of contributing factors such as cell radios, google syncs, etc. Then slowly add something every day. Also the stock kernel is wonky so have those with battery problems tried a kernel not based off of stock, such as CM7? CM7 has its own kernel built in but should be much more stable.

From my experience, most people aren't having issues and the few that are, are having repeated battery issues across multiple phones. To me, it just seems logical that it is something they are installing or perhaps location is a factor (2G only or 4G only).

Here is a post about 4G switching causing reboots:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13852571&postcount=21
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Profondo_Rosso:
Well, I have now had 5 freezes in the middle of the night while charging. 3 of them required a full factory reset, the other two "only" required the battery pull.

I was on my way to exchange yesterday when I figured I would just flash CM7 and see if that fixes it. So far, so good. If I get one more freeze, it's going back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
The batteries must be causing all of these problems. I don't get any freezing or reboots after charging overnight but if I leave my WiFi on all night while it's charging. If I do, in the morning when I take it off the charger, the WiFi icon is gone and my 4G icon just keeps flashing every 5 seconds. It won't stop flashing and my phone will not have data until I reboot. Now I just turn off WiFi before going to bed since it doesn't happen any other time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Aneelll:
So this might not have been confirmed by LG but looking at the forums and complaints, the problem only seemed to be software or kernel related right? or do you think it is a hardware problem. Im planning to get a G2x and was wondering if it is a software only problem that would eventually be solved in a month or two. I can live with the problem and go ahead and get this awesome phone (im not gonna get on contract btwn so no option for me to switch).. And also the count of threads opened for the rebooting / freezing problem makes me think that more than 50%(or vast majority) of the phones have this problem. Is that really true.?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pilotg2:
I think you hit the nail on the head - i've been racking my brain why my phone suddenly started freezing and rebooting after 4 wks of previously working flawlessly...

I had no problems until I installed SD card and APPS2SD APP. Next time it freezes, i'll move all my APPS back to phone and reinstall all moved APPS and report back if it solves prob.

I'm sure it's not the phone's hardware as was working perfectly before.

Flipping between WiFi and 3g everyday, sometimes leaving one or the other on for a day or two and with no problems before SD card and APPS2SD.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] liquidblue1985:
I'm glad you asked because I am :)

It's kind of frustrating because it just started the past day or so, all 3 required a battery pull to get the phone to turn back on again. I'm very dependant on this phone because it's also my alarm clock...

It's a problem with most thunderbolts and many phones/tablets in general (even the jesuspad isnt immune).

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viceversa:
like stated in the link posted above, its from the illuminated capacitive buttons at the bottom and not the LCD panel itself.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Light1984:
On my first thunderbolt, i actually had the entire screen rotated by a few degrees and pretty bad bleed from the back lighting of the keys at the bottom. VW overnighted me a new phone and the new one still has the back light bleeding, but as others have said, only at extreme angles.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbisch:
The screen isn't bleeding. It's just the lighting from the soft keys. I only notice it when I have the phone at a certain angle. No big deal.

This normally happens with any device that has backlight keys, soft or not. My Droid X did the same thing.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mar5hal:
i work for verizon and every thunderbolt i've sold hasn't had nearly as much light bleeding as mine. it is a painful thing to sell models that surpass mine haha, getting a new one sent to me though, just hope it's not the same. blast this ocd

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BCRider34:
Hi all,

Just wanted some feedback from anyone with the Bell Mobility I9000M that has flashed JVH. How are you liking the update?

As well:

Is 850Mhz supported? If not can we flash another modem over to enable 850? How has the reception been compared to JL2?

How is the battery life compared to 2.2 Roms? I am currently on a Doc 2.2 JS8 Rom and get about 2 days with moderate use.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
JVB was really good, needed to preform the 850 fix or flash a new modem (I always flash ugkc1) bettery was pretty good

JVH I just flashed and modem needs same as JVB fix or flash of an 850 default... can't say for battery yet, most are saying it takes some calibration on JVH... GPS fix is best I have ever had.

I was Doc 9.5 moved to Doc 10 rc6, moved to simply honey now on juwe... liked doc 10 the least.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
works fine here. JVH with KC1 modem

[T-Mobile LG G2x] c_brown93:
I hope the leaked 2.3.3 isn't final at all. Here is the issues I am having.

-Vibration is way too strong. Froyo felt perfect.

-Keyboard lag in SMS is horrible.

-Statusbar icons need fixed(Turning green when connected to Google & Data icons are still Froyo as well as headset/phone icon when headset is plugged in)

-Same kernel from 2.2.2.

-Possibly more.

-It would be nice to have screen off animation(CM7 will get it eventually).

I just feel like it needs way more work & I hope LG doesn't give the update like that.

What do you think ? Any other problems ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Those plus I started getting reboots so I went back to stock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c_brown93:
I forget that the LG Camera was SO much better as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
True story. I hope they include it in the final release.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
The official release should have a new kernel along with it. I liked the leaked version but the reboots or "SoD" isn't too good.

CM7 is the only functioning Gingerbread rom good for daily use IMO.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c_brown93:
CM7 is still not stable enough for me. LG needs to clean things up espically lag & vibration before release.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Zspy1985:
In my opinion coming from a HTC HD2 with a bad kernal that I messed up by flashing a NAND Droid sense rom or something it would reset the phone every couple minutes to hours.

I can deal with the random resets at least 3 times a day when I start an app.

I love this phone!

The only issue I have with this phone would be the 4g speeds I get that are just HORRID! I get like 180 kb/s!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bronk93:
I've been running eaglesblood gingerbread edition and I have no significant issues at all. EB, in my opinion, is definitely a daily driver.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c_brown93:
I didn't say they were a bug deal. I love the phone as well. I just think anyone can agree that it would be better if the things I listed were fixed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
Agreed.

I'm back on stock Froyo until something better comes along.

CM7 has too many bugs still (no AD2P, voicemail dialpad doesn't work, HDMI is buggy, external SD card is invisible, etc).

Eagleblood is very fast, but just as with the GB leak, the vibrate is too strong, the keyboard right side sensitivity is off, my GPS navigation was wonky, etc.
[G Tablet General] redhonker:
Here is what I've tried:

1. Settings -> about tablet to get kernel version: 2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod root@pershoot-ubuntu #1

2. Go to http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/ and find the kernel for gTab. There are several one, I just picked one with Gingerbread and downloaded

lib-2632.39_gb.tar.gz

Unpack on put cifs.ko under /system/lib/modules

3. Install CIFS Manger

4. Run CIFS Manager, add the share

5. If there is problem mount it in rw mode, use option "rw,noperm" (thanks, rajeevvp)

The share is successfully mounted.

Thanks!
[G Tablet General] Oozura:
After pushing the cifs module to the tablet you need to add an chmod and then you also need a insmod line every time you want to use it (at least after following a reboot).

Go back and read the instructions on droid basement. He has the details of the steps following loading the cifs.ko.

Good luck.
[G Tablet General] redhonker:
CIFS manager already loads the module fine. Are you saying in order to mount in rw mode, it needs permission on cifs.ko file?
[G Tablet General] rajeevvp:
No, you don't.

CIFS Manager should have an option to do a read-write mount.

Otherwise, you can try changing the mounting back into read-write mode:

$ su
# /system/xbin/mount -w -o remount /CIFS/PATH

Replace, /CIFS/PATH with the directory you provided to CIFS Manager.

Also, understand my cautions, as mentioned in the other thread, about mixing and matching kernels and kernel modules. I would suggest that you also install the kernel that goes with the module file you downloaded--ie. get the one in the same blog post.
