Well update 7:

The good news:

Have been contacted by the VIP service LG Netherlands for replacement of a new phone within 24 hours...

Well the bad news:

Is that they don't have the phone on stock and will contact me when they do. (that's fast VIP service down the drain lol)

Ok mean while I saw the update V10B (finally released in NL, was already two weeks out)with the new baseband, so thought well lets do it and update the A version.

Update went well (FOTA) and restored backup but he since I'm an I.T. guy I installed all the apps back and did a hard reset :eek:

Repeated the process and all went fine and thought what the heck let's do this one time again :eek::eek:

Again the phone behaved very well even the load on the wall charger go figure :confused:

Ok uptime 9:48:42 hours noticed only max temp between 35 and 40.5 c during wall charge... (curious what all other owners have?)

Ok since I have to wait for my new phone replacement let's test and if this one is stable now I will keep it and cancel the VIP.

But at the first reboot or freeze I will give finally up on this particular phone.

Keep you guys update... let's wall charge this one...

Waiting also for the update LG Denmark/Sweden is talking about maybe also to give that one a try...
[LG Optimus 2x] kopchev:
The update you're describing is not new - it's the well known 05042011...
[LG Optimus 2x] naimmkassim:
My bad, sorry lorrr...
[LG Optimus 2x] thatguychris:
Went to take phone back for replacement yesterday and phones4u (uk) rang technical who told me to factory reset and see how it goes, I wasn't very happy as I was hoping for a replacement but I reset the handset last night and there is a noticeable difference in speed! The phone is so much more responsive than it has been before the reset. I'm kind of hoping that the freezes will disappear now but I'm not holding my breath!
[LG Optimus 2x] walkerx:
I got my phone last friday from phones4u - totally unbranded - i've not rooted it yet as wanted to see how it performed, since then it's shut down three times that i've know off when more than 50% charge.

Android Ver: 2.2.2

[LG Optimus 2x] SBMkee:
Hey,

I have the same versions , what you have (

Android Ver: 2.2.2

Baseband: 1035.21_20110218

Kernel: 2.6.32.9-dirty

build: FRG83G

lge ver: LGP990-V10b

).

I got the phone about 30 hours ago.

I did not notice any reboot/shut off/ freeze in this time.

The phone is not rooted, and using STOCK ROM.

And i had put a lot of app on.
[LG Optimus 2x] panos106:
Is the source that claims lgs responce reliable?? Do we have any news concerning the update??

Some translations say that the update is out allready, is it possible that they mean the baseband of 04/05?? (which didnt solve anything!!)

This is important to know, because we all waiting for a fix, and are relaxed to know that is coming veeery shortly..!! But.. is it?? :confused::confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] orlox:
Mine reboot sometimes when i try making a call. Maybe its related to signal since I live i a basement and sometimes i dont have signal.
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
30 hours says nothing my phone was ok the first two weeks ;-)

However the one from my son is still ok .

Mine was the last time after 150 hours still fine lol
[LG Optimus 2x] tdci100:
Hi,

I'm reporting back, following a bunch of tests..

Fr12 Vanilla

20110223 v10a

night of 17 to 18 :

Plugged on LG wall charger, battery < 50 %, debug mode on

Result : in the morning, PIN code screen, battery and charger not warm. As I unplug the phone, the battery goes from 100 to 80 %.

night of 18 to 19 :

plugged on HTC Hero wall charger, battery < 50 %, debug off.

After around 20 minutes, I need to check something but the phone is stuck and won't reboot. I decide to leave it plugged this way. The following morning, I'll take the battery off and reboot. Battery indicates 80 %.

night of 19 to 20 :

plugged on macbook USB, debug off.

All is fine in the morning, battery 100 %

night of 20 to 21 :

plugged on LG wall charger, battery > 50 %, debug off.

We'll see tomorrow morning.
[LG Optimus 2x] arielext:
this phone is ill :) hopefully the upcoming LG software will fix it. It is lovely to see how we are trying and helping; this community rocks!
[LG Optimus 2x] naimmkassim:
After 1 week and 2 days (since last reboot happen), never had any reboot or restard, today I manually restart my O2X as to change the font (which request by the system). After restart, my O2X could't read my external SD card. I check at setting and its say my External SD card is not mount. So, I select to mount my External SD card, then my O2X FREEZE!!!!!!!. I have to take out the battery to solve the problem. ON back power and thank god, now my O2X can read the External SD card and everything is OK.

So, what the hell is happen?????
[LG Optimus 2x] orlox:
i also have the unmouting problem. I ve changed fonts 2-3 times. Sd is a 16gb class 4 kingston.
[LG Optimus 2x] NL_B:
Have the phone for 1 week. I did two experiment using battery monitor widget.

1. Using LG original charger, when plugged in you will see that the phone detect it as an AC charger. The charge current goes up to around 900mA. Because of this the battery goes really warm and the system has to shut down/crash. I tried to charge it with LG charger 3 times and it always crash and needed to take out the battery to restart.

2. Using apple charger, when plugged in you will see that the phone detect it as plugged to USB (I guess different charger detection technique than LG). The charge current goes up to around 400-500mA (amount that is allowed to take from USB). The battery temperature stays normal and it doesn't crash. I did charge it for at least 3 times with apple charger and it never crash.

What I don't get is why LG has different charger detection than apple (or any other company)? I am sure (because I'm working with mobile system design) that the USB standard dictate that every company should follow the AC charger detection which is by shorting the D+ and D- of the USB.

How difficult it is to regulate the charge current so it doesn't get too hot? :mad:

I hope they really come with a good software to update the Power Management IC.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
i have a theory. but it doesnt concern any of the charging issues, but most likely touches pretty much all o2x owners.

i believe that the reboots and freezes are all connected to the external SD card. lots of people get the reboot/freeze when accesing/mounting/unmounting etc the external SD card.

BUT then on modaco forum people who decided to try and take out the external sd have no reboots/ freezes what so ever.

i say test this theory guys (i dont have o2x... yet). on optimus one there was also an sd card mount issue, but i think they fixed it somehow, you can try and check it out.
[LG Optimus 2x] 1695:
I've got that problem but 've found many people who doesn't.

Is there any chance that you have a STOCK ROM + paul's Performance pack ? It seems to be linked : http://android.modaco.com/content/l...boot-on-usb-mass-storage-toggle/#entry1676245
[LG Optimus 2x] Trentors:
EVERY Android phone has two charge modes. AC and USB. If ANY charger (no mattter what brand it is) supplies enough current the phone will recharge in AC mode. The phone does the exact same thing with HTC, Nokia, Samsung and even Logitech chargers. This is normal for EVERY Android phone out there and has nothing to do with the problem. The phone also can crash on USB charge and when running on battery.

LG says it is software...lets stick with that.

Some battery widgets will show if you are charging on USB or AC.
[LG Optimus 2x] Trentors:
Come on. Read the thread - this "myth" is already busted. The last time I restarted my device I was wearing a tinfoil hat and it has not rebooted yet. Conclusion: Wear tinfoil hats.

Real conclusion: This is totally random and sometimes there goes 14 days between reboots. So it is futile to try something and then conclude that it helped.
[LG Optimus 2x] 1695:
Not so fast ;).

You are right, that's not the cause of the "classic" reboot/freeze problem. But there is actually an independant reboot problem for those who are on STOCK + Paul's Performance Pack when accessing SD card while a dependant process is running which is perfectly reproducible. That's why I asked him his configuration. Check the link to MoDaCo I gave a few posts before.

Bottom line is : multiple causes, same symptom : reboot. And SD cards are the cause of one particular kind of reboot on some configs, concerning a minority (stock + perf pack).
[LG Optimus 2x] Trentors:
Well the whole multiple threads with dualcore implementation may very well cause the problem. So thait is plausible :-)

But I also think that this implementation is the root of all the other problems. So the SD card problem is just one way of triggering the problem but it does not mean it can be solved by removing the SD card.
[LG Optimus 2x] 1695:
Yeah, totally agree on that. As I said, it's a different bug (that might be caused by Paul's Perf patch), sharing the same symptom, that's why xilw3r posted here, abused by that common symptom.

Removing SD card will

not

fix

random

reboots in any way.

Still, I'd like xilw3r to tell me if he uses STOCK + Perf patch, since I'm investigating that other bug ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] orlox:
My reboots are not so random.

They happen when i call someone when I charge the phone.

They happen when I look around with ez file explorer.

They happen when i download apps from market
[LG Optimus 2x] helmi666:
lol..another unhappy starhub customer. will get mine (O2X) from sgbest.com (carrier free). My XT720 was having the same issue(random restart...etc) when running on stock rom. Thanks to Khalpower's rom it is now fixed.
[LG Optimus 2x] smokie700:
Which ROM is this and where can i find it? thanks for the help
[LG Optimus 2x] tdci100:
Phone was OK this morning, battery fully charged.

Second night on wall charger tonight..

I confirm the SDcard thing is NOT the only possible cause. It's one of the many conditions that triggers the behavior.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
true. i only later read that others are experiencing this without an SD card as well. my bad, but no reason to rant.

by the way i did mention that i dont have an o2x..... yet :)
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
Well gentleman despite all arguments I have here 2 phones one has the problem and the other doesn't bought on the same day as mentioned in my update 6 or 7 lol.

In case of software both phones should have the issue and that's not the case...
[LG Optimus 2x] dryspuri:
I recently got optimus 2x from ebay, & I got it cheap, Day one i got my sim inside , phone started no problem, gone straight to work, phone in pocket & guess what... after something like one hour , i realized no one called me.. i take out the phone, its dead, i thaught battery must have died, after something like 15 min, i pulled out battery & turned it on battery says 50% i dont belive, so I have gone home, put on wall charger & then comeback after say half an hour,, again phone is dead, i try to ring the number using my home phone, phone is still dead but i can hear line ringing,

This blackouts are so often & specially when screen is turned off>> there is something grossly wrong with the device, i had done everything including changing rom rooting, but there is one consistency in lock ups>> it happens when phone is locked for long time like more than an hour, and one more thing these lockups never happenend whn i put the phone on USB charging
[LG Optimus 2x] chong81:
I have went thru 3 O2x sets personally. First one was stable but had dead pixel. Second one shut down randomly during charging with the back feeling hot. Third one is stable with no reboots nor shutdowns on stock fw (40+ hrs uptime).

I don't believe this issue is entirely software as all 3 sets had the same firmware and baseband (V10a + 20110218).

I suggest to get your O2x swapped if it shuts down while charging.
[LG Optimus 2x] kopchev:
I tend to agree with chong81. My mom's O2x came with 10b from 18.02.2011. There were no auto shutdowns. I change the firm to EURO OPEN 10b - 05.04.2011 - again - no shutdowns. Last time battery lasted slightly above 2 daws with 1 hour talks, 20 mins wi-fi, 20 min angry birds. It used only 2% during the night in standby mode.
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
Yes that's exactly what I'm going to do hope the next one is OK
[LG Optimus 2x] bryant_16:
Hey guys, after few weeks of testing, these are my results.

Stock charger:

- keep on charging, I won't get past the 30th hour mark of the uptime of the phone.

Using a HTC charger:

- keep on charging, I am able to get past the 30th hour mark (uptime) but can't get past the 60th and above mark.

Need to pull the battery in order to restart the phone.

I'm rooted only, no custom roms and have frozen Car home and F-secure.

Could it be the case of the battery?
[LG Optimus 2x] cristian_seven:
In your case is the firmware. I had a starhub branded device with the usual crap both by LG & network and had all the problems described here. I flashed an Euro free rom and NO single problem in 7 days. Flash the bastard with a free rom, that is all I can tell you.
[LG Optimus 2x] tdci100:
Are serials number close enough ?
[LG Optimus 2x] xAdaM--:
Yup happening to me as well now.
[LG Optimus 2x] bryant_16:
You mean for mine?
[LG Optimus 2x] Vertigood:
Ok, as i've posted before my phone does not freeze very often. Unrooted and using stock charger, and charging both through wall and usb.

Today the phone has frozen 3-4 times and 1 reboot within a couple of hours. This has never happened before. Before this happened I had downloaded a couple of apps (trusted) and Angry birds. Uninstalled 1 app and Angry birds now to see if it helps. The battery drained down to 3% now when the last lockup occured.

Fully charged last night.
[LG Optimus 2x] Wwax:
I'm trying... i hate this ****ig phone..

Trying to charge via USB, restarted and freezed after that.

I can't get a replacement or give it back because it's bought thru a company. (Swedish rules)

Already been away for two weeks at LG's trusted (and only in Sweden) service vendor.

The battery was charged... Thank you.

Spoken to LG five times (last time not so nice) reseller four times.

This peiece if junk is by far the worse and most expensive paper weight i have ever had.

**** you LG, **** you Inwarehouse and **** you ANOVO, **** you very much!

Now i have to beg my boss to give me an IPhone 4..
[LG Optimus 2x] arielext:
ever since i reverted back to stock (rooted) no more reboots; yay me!

I had 1 freeze; got a feeling it had to do with setcpu (the moment after setcpu was granted SU it hang); removed it and my best uptime now is 2 days cause i had to switch sim. It's acutally a nice phone now :P Drain is ~ 3/5 mah in standby.
[LG Optimus 2x] sebsal:
My first 2x was a piece of crap. constant re boots and 100% bsod when charging. so far my replacement is like a completely different phone. no problems at all so far

long may it last. its now the phone i was expecting. it has exactly the same Rom, kernel. and baseband as my old one. strange
[LG Optimus 2x] mikeyd85:
Since getting a replacement, this one has crashed once when I left it out in the sun. Otherwise its been perfectly fine. If its reasonable until the update comes out, I think ill just stick with this one.
[LG Optimus 2x] yongwk:
Guys, my phone used to have auto shut down/freezes/reboot almost at least once a day even with the new LG stock rom updates...

But i refuse to believe that it's the hardware issue... Seems like my point is proven (At least for my phone).

After flashing paul's FR12:

My phone can charge overnight without any freezes and shut down.

No more auto reboot.

I do not feel that my phone is overheated during charging.

No more major Lag/freezes when opening application.

It have been 8 days since i've flash FR12 and i charge it overnight without any shutdown :) Thank you so much paul!
[LG Optimus 2x] Vertigood:
My battery was fully charged 23.00 last night. This morning it was at 46%!

All i did was listen to some music via Winamp. I did not exit Winamp but no music was playing during the night. It can't drain that much just because Winamp was standing by can it?

I really hope a fix is coming soon. And that the battery is affected in that update as well as the crashes. If it's not, I'm sending it back. I can't accept a battery that bad.
[LG Optimus 2x] cristian_seven:
Yes, about you I was talking. Off course, I'm in Europe so I flashed Euro rom. In your case find something free suited to your location but do a backup if you care about warranty, I didn't care to much about.

And btw, even since starhub rom, I'm charging it with "stay awake" option active. It helped with charge freeze and I have it active even now with this rom. (applications-Development-stay awake)

Tomorrow I'm celebrating a week with absolutely no problem and it was a hard week for the phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] kostasalfa:
Another strange thing! I am getting strange battery readings!! This morning just when i got the phone off charger (working and on at 100% ) it froze during a call!! After reboot it showed battery 69% !!(two minutes later!!)

Yesterday after a long freeze in my pocket ( which as you all know by now it sucks battery faaast ! ) baterry went down to 40% .. after battery pull and restart the battery starting went up like it was charging ota !! Slowly went to 62% about two hours later!!

Just reporting it, might help someone who thinks its a batt-charging-driver issue to investigate
[LG Optimus 2x] Blizze:
Have it for 2 weeks now. Stable as can be. No lockups, reboots pr whatever. Using stockROM v10b with root. I think you guys should ask for replacements with all these problems. A unstable phone is not usable at all. Probably a hardware error like bad batch of Tegra cpus or something, who knows.
[LG Optimus 2x] MrBasiri:
MY 4th o2x i 2 weeks..... Reboot problems whit every single one of them...

All of them using ota v10b. Ordered a new sim card. didn't help... I have no batt problems but I constantly get the F*£#&G Enter pin code screen...

Talked to LG support (Sweden) and that guy toold me that LG is dropping a new uppdate thats shuld fix this problem. It might already by out for some users around the world but not in Sweden yet, shuld come someday next week.

Perhaps it's time to drop this phone for a sgs2?

ps. sorry for bad Eng.
[LG Optimus 2x] ozivillan:
Seriously thinking about returning the phone. Never had a new phone with so many problems. Pulling the battery on a daily basis has gone beyond a joke. I would be happy to have it replaced with another O2X if there was a guarantee that the problems had been addressed but not to trusting of LG at this moment in time, not happy having to pay $80 to return this phone back to the UK only to have it replaced with a unit with the same problems, are we within our rights to ask for a refund and not a repair or replacement
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
Ok guys update 8:

So no speculations for me I used the VIP service:

- received my new phone replacement today (actually all but they did not included back cover / battery / headset / charger)

- 6 hours uptime first charge went fine update to V10B and installed a lot of apps

- looks like lot less heat now generated during the charge...

- everything looks great speed/display and feels different somehow :-)

Hope that this one will behave like the one from my Son which has no problems at all besides the install lag bug via the market....

and the other small well known software bugs.

Ok post updates in the near future experienced from the O2X here local.
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
After I have changed a few things my LG O2x is actually rather stable. I can count the number of restarts and such on one hand in the last month or so.
[LG Optimus 2x] kefjeuh93:
I only had the shutdown once and it was after i plugged out the ac adapter.

5 min later it shutdown.

Have got the phone since monday and never had it once again
[LG Optimus 2x] hyperkick:
Reset battery stats after a FULL charge.
[LG Optimus 2x] yichao0926:
i meet this problem in my first charging.but now,it works OK
[LG Optimus 2x] andeelym:
After a few weeks with the phone, it seems that the shutdown problem I am having is due to overheating. And usually it is after charging and/or heavy 3G usage. The worst was during the first few days. 5 to 8 times when charging. So, i left the screen on when its plugged in, that helps alot.

Now, I have it twice a day or none at all, usually after unplugging it out from charging. If the screen remains on, it can go on and on, but once the screen goes off, it'll shutdown after a couple of minutes.

After getting a mercury silicon phone cover, i removed the phone backplate for ease of pulling out the battery when it occurs. I was hoping the backplate removal can improve heat dissipation. But like you guessed, no help. Well, at least it removes one extra troublesome step.

Today, I had the battery flew across the room when I have to pull it out after a phone call cos the screen refuses to wake up for me to hang up the call. I really don't know when will be the phone's turn to try flying.

While this phone is fantastic in performance, literally the most powerful android phone in the market currently, marred only by this heat problem. I am giving up and planning a visit to the local LG service center. Hopefully I can get a replacement set that does not exhibit this problem. Really disheartening...
[LG Optimus 2x] kostasalfa:
Happy easter everyone!! Wish you all no freezes and reboots so you can be in touch with friends and family these days!!

Lg thank you for this adventure,life with working phone would be sooo boring! Now that we have to check if optimus is alive every 5, it feels far more great!!
[LG Optimus 2x] andeelym:
LOL at the optimism. With Optimus 2X we need that 2X of optimism!

Happy Easter to everyone with this problem! May our tolerance and optimism go 2X with this phone! LOL!
[LG Optimus 2x] chong81:
I have to agree with you on the overheating part - my second O2x which had the shutdown while charging issue felt much hotter during the shutdowns, than my first and third O2x which were free of the issue.

I was lucky that my telco (singtel) gave 1-1 exchanges, or I'd be a very unhappy customer. If your set is still new, I suggest you press your telco for a 1-1 exchange.

It's sad that LG wiped out all their hard work into making the first dual core phone, by shooting themselves in the foot with quality issues.
[LG Optimus 2x] kostasalfa:
A strange thing??!! Remove your plastic backplates! Does it say lg p-999 inside as model??

Mine does!? Shouldnt euro models be p-990??
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
Thats what I got and mine has not had any issues thus far.

CORRECTION:

I just had a random reboot >_<
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
No reboots here after 4 days of continuous use. Also danish version of the phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] davjan:
4days and no reboot on my phone

baseband 1035.21_20110223
[LG Optimus 2x] zarras:
ULJ , no reboots or shut downs since day 1 ?

can u give us

Baseband version:

&

LGE Version:

? pls
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
Like I said, four days of continuous use without problems.

Model number: LG-P990

Android version: 2.2.2

Baseband number: 1035.21_20110223

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9

LGE version: LGP990-V10a
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
Using the LG Mobile Support tool, there are no (software/firmware) updates available to the phone.

So it is quite mysterious why there are a V10a and a V10b version with different baseband versions.
[LG Optimus 2x] Miracle1980:
I think that the best thing would be contact directly LG to have an official response on this MAJOR issue.
[LG Optimus 2x] T_Virus:
Had my first random reboot last night while my phone was charging...

Remember i had the same problem on my Nexus One before the Gingerbread update.
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
Hmm, could it be a Froyo issue?
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
All of today mine has starting doing random freezes, where it basically locks up at the blank screen. Trying to continuously press the power button will eventually alllow me to actually get the screen to turn on and allow me to unlock the phone.

That is not good LG
