[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
just had a thought, my g2x just started rebooting like crazy i.e it would get to the tmobile g2x android start up animation and after it finishes it would reboot. my battery was around 30%-35% at the time i was thinking maybe the battery cant maintain a decent voltage and it falls below the g2x voltage threshold while under load and boom instant reboot. this could also explain why some batteries heat up to hot as well, they dont have a high enough discharge rate to keep up with the demands of the phone.

this can be solved one of two ways get a larger capacity battery of the same discharge rate. or get a higher discharge rate battery of the same size. both of those will allow the phone to draw more power without overtaxing the battery and would keep the battery cooler as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
I wouldn't be surprised if the battery drivers are the culprit for all our issues. The phone can't properly read the battery charge and so the battery overheats or the phone reboots itself in hopes of getting a better reading on the battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericmd:
i noticed my phone starts to heat up when the battery level hits around 40%. i never really understood why.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rhinology:
Mine once rebooted when it was plugged in and 100% charged. I think when it's plugged in it draws power from charger not the battery. So your theory, if true, only explains some reboots, not all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
I may be mistaken, but if it was in fact 100% then it was probably drawing from the battery at that point. I believe that once they reach 100% they will cycle between battery usage and charging.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
well i know from using lipo batterys in my r/c planes and cars that if you draw them below 3v it can damage the battey im not sure what Li-ion low voltage is but its near the same basicly once the battery hit around 3.6 volts at rest its empty and will not hold voltage at all.

and for the 100% full charge if the battery drivers is fubar it could be overcharging your battery and damaging it so it has less capacity so when it pulls a draw it cant keep up and reboots
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rhinology:
I plug my phone in every day before going to bed, and unplug it in the morning. If G2x doesn't have overcharging protection my battery would have been damaged long ago.

Also, I used the phone several times when it was charged 100% and still plugged in, never saw battery percentage went to 99% then back to 100%. So I believe when 100% and plugged in, it won't cycle power source through battery and charger.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cubeology:
I will add a little information that may or may not have relevance. I have 4 batteries for my G2X (This is my solution to the short battery life). The LG battery, $25 AceSoft battery, and two $6 generic Chinese batteries. None of them including the dirt cheap ones cause my phone to reboot. Conclusions can be drawn from this information but I'm going to leave that up to someone else. If you want to test the battery hypothesis I suggest you buy some of those cheap batteries off of eBay and see if something changes. Would be a rather inexpensive experiment.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] umair239:
I agree, ever since I started using a 1900mah battery from ebay, the random reboots and freezing issues have disappeared completely, and I have been using the phone for almost a month now. Please try a different battery to get rid of random reboots and overheating issue. Hope it will help someone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] snofrandy:
you know what, I bought 3 ebay batteries so I can swap them around if i don't have a charger. none of them did the black lock screen. weird.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DomChan00:
I had random reboot issues using some of the custom roms + original battery.

Then I bought a charger + batteries off ebay, and reset to original rom, and havn't had a single reboot/freeze since.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
i just had my second reboot in cyanogen with my battery at 32% after if rebooted it went back up to 45%. i was playing galaxy on fire 2 when it rebooted. and according to battery monitor it was pulling 931mA when it rebooted.

i think the battery discharge rate is substandard for this phone this is a high performance phone and you cant just stick a normal cell phone battery in and expect it to work. this is in part why some of the reboots are happening and why when people got new battery they problem went away for them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Seanathan:
You might be on to something. Everytime my phone restarts it is because it is overheating.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
i wish we had more info on the batterys lg used like the discharge rate and everything. i bet they are .5c or 1c discharge that would be why they overcheat when under heavy use or charging
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jr2002ws6:
I got a replacement battery from T-Mobile this past Tuesday, and had two random reboots within an hour. However, since then, I haven't had one issue. 4 days and counting going strong... Knocking on wood. Phone is stock and rooted.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
well i know cm fixed the battery should be in his next build also data speeds with gingerbread, should be build 54 not 53, something is wrong with 53 and root access so they are going to have it fixed im pretty sure in 54, here peep this via twitter.........

@CM_arcee RC

My dark magical powers have beaten the G2x's radio into submission. Starting tonight, p999 gets a battery meter and twice the data speed ;)

3 hours ago via web
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
while that is awsome news i dont think the battery meter for the phone is really the problem it happens when the draw on the battery pulls it below 3v under load the batterys low voltage cutoff kicks in and shuts the phone off and then the spings back up and the phone restarts
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I think it could be the chargers causing issues. My gf pulled my g2x charger out of the box and said it made her phone whacky and died after a few hours.

Her comment made me think about it.

I never had battery issues but I use my old nexus one and zune charger.

Food for thought
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
My wall charger is bad, out bricks the phone every time I use it. Have to charge via USB.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OreoMaster:
After I turn off airplane mode (in order to start calling) and try calling someone, the call screen goes from green to red immediately, without me pressing anything. Has anyone experienced this problem or can help me fix it? My phone is running CyanogenMod 6.10.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jnn1:
Having joyfully played all day with my GT 10.1 I got from BB yesterday, l was about to set my alarm before falling asleep, but to my shock there doesn't seem to be a way to set music as my alarm. Usually on android, I'd long press or menu a song to make it a ringtone, then select that in stock clock alarm ringtone,and wake up to the song of my choice,but seems like "set as ringtone" command is gone in honeycomb, or is this because my GT is a wifi-only version?

Anyone know how to set music as alarm on GT 10.1 wifi - Honeycomb 3.1? All help appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xManMythLegend:
Use ringdroid?

My custom alarms were always pasted into the media/tones folder or by made custom apps.

Oh, right! I'd totally forgotton about thoses apps, having become used to default. Thanks!

I am thinking I should do this. Does erase my cwm? Erase my root? Or do I do it then just flash a rom again

G2x with CM7 and faux 1.8 kernel. oc@1500 5091 quadrant.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
no it will only return your current rom to the way it was when you first flashed it just delete user data/apps you keep your root, cwm, and kernels
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ccrows:
Wherever you were at the ROM'S starting point, is where you will be again.

Also if you ever need to know if you are rooted or not, download "Root Checker" from the market. It's free and checks for BOTH Root and any traces of Busybox...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] c0dex:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sendalterbang:
already tested,in my case i cant install another rom.stuck with froyobread n the end im using seus.this is my experience, maybe different with other
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] XperianPro:
If is possible you can copy part of chargemon script to other chargemon of custom Rom and overwrite xrecovery script. So your custom zips will work with custom rom.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Graveir:
So I take it CWM still doesn't work with binary updates...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Blagus:
CWM doesn't support old update-scripts, I don't know which ones (amend or edify) - you have to convert them.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
Xrecovery is using Amend script and CWM Recovery is using Edify script

Sorry to say that, but you're stupid yourself :) This has similar functionality to xrec, but is hardly the same :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] josip-k:
I didnt say you were stupid -.-

But thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DaRk_dOg:
ClockworkMod recovery has a purpose of existence.

CM7 is build on Gingerbread sources so it is vital to use a common source based recovery.

Also edify scripting and the advanced syntax check that CWM performs, is by itself, a proof of superiority against xrecovery.

The correct order is think-search-discuss and NOT vice-versa.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] josip-k:
But ill stay on xrecovery,i like it better.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
Great work!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahmadsamhann:
It can create SD card partition? wow. xD
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] aldee_s:
yes, because almost all of those custom ROM for X8 now is using Amend script (update-script), and i think only miniCM that is using Edify script (updater-script).

you know, that CWM can backup EXT partition on your SD Card?

CWM and Xrecovery/FreeXperia Recovery is different, and you should have noticed it if you see the options on the screenshot

also, if you want to convert update-script to updater-script, you can use dsixda's kitchen, just search XDA, and its a very easy thing to do.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] techmagyor:
So, to understand, if i'm in stock 2.1 i can use this and flash whetever cyanogen rom-mod (as hackdroid) i want (if i use the amend one) or i can use it if i'm already in the hackdroid rom? thanks

ClockworkMod Recovery for custom ROM

If you want to make it work on custom ROM, you need to modify chargemon.

Here it is for Floyo, FroyoBread and Hackdroid, it should work on other ROMs too, if chargemon is same as in FroyoBread, Floyo and Hackdroid. I tested it on Hackdroid 0.98 and it is working. Just install it in Xrecovery.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Blagus:
@dbts25: I've compressed tar into bz2, and replaced FreeRecovery provided by FlashTool 0.2.9.1. This way I can install CWM directly.

For other ROMs with different chargemons, just replace recovery.tar in /system/bin (or if you have FreeRecovery, bzip the recovery.tar and place it in /system/recovery) with CWM from any of three provided archives here and chmod to 777.

Busybox installed with FlashTool is fine for CWM in my case.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] MrCzAjNiK:
But we still must wait untill devs change update script to compatibile with cwm.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] puppet13th:
Which version of CM6 do you want to install.

Current MiniCM-x8 1.0.2 already using Edify Script.so it will work.

try to extract the zip

check META-INF/com/google/android/

if there is update-script = amend script (XRecovery)

if there is updater-script + update-binary = edify script (CWM Recovery)
