Makes me smile...

... just tried removing the Disable Screen Timeout, which I'd changed as this prevented the BSOD, while phone is charging, to see if my phone had magically cured itself, it's been nice not having to remove the battery for a couple of weeks.. I was just curious to see what happened..

.. and would you know it the FIRST full charging I tried to give it...

The dreaded BSOD..

Didn't know whether to laugh, or Cry..

Well, until LG release a stable fix for this I'll carry on using my solution.. I definitely don't miss removing the back cover all the time. It is such a pain.

Remember : SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS, DEVELOPMENT, Check box STAY AWAKE

It will save you countless battery removals !

An otherwise Excellent Mobile..

But please LG.. don't forget about us.
[LG Optimus 2x] sjanssen15:
Thanks! I'm going to try that though :) Don't want to sleep through my alarm AGAIN because he shut down.

But, why does Gingerbread also show these symptons?
[LG Optimus 2x] pulsation:
Because they are not linked to any android version, but to baseband or / and hardware problems?
[LG Optimus 2x] sjanssen15:
hm... damn.

@above: I tried the thing you said, but didn't work, another crash.

Why do big companies always try to quick release a product, when it isn't even finished. Getting sick of all these products that are releasing to quick. Years ago, when you bought something, it was well developed and without any strict date that had to be reached.
[LG Optimus 2x] topanyel:
had my first BSOD just now after 1,5 months and 450h+ uptime

still on stock rom, phone is rooted

was about to turn WIFI on then bam, its gone black and no response, you know the rest.
[LG Optimus 2x] bodmark:
Sorry to hear the settings i gave you didn't work for you.

I have yet to experience ANY black screens or resetting using the Stay Awake setting .

Has anyone else tried this setting and Still had black screens while charging ?

I'd be interested to know, other experiences ..
[LG Optimus 2x] sjanssen15:
@ bodmark

That's no problem, but my phone crashes while charing AND not charching. The main symptons are:

- Black screen but LED is on

- phone get's REALLY hot, you could make an egg on it -.-

- only way to shut down or reboot is to remove battery

Maybe the phone get's so hot because of an battery related issue or an application that runs at 100% constantly and the CPU can't handle the 1 GHz clock. (maybe a bad CPU batch)
[LG Optimus 2x] bender.h:
I have been running for +170 hours now after changing the settings per your advice. Longest run without issues, so it "works" here so far.

Stock rom

Not rooted
[LG Optimus 2x] sjanssen15:
I must say, while charing it haven't crashed anymore, only while on the move :O maybe this trick works well while charching.

I wish there was something like a log in Android (like Windows Event logs)
[LG Optimus 2x] bodmark:
Glad..

.. it has helped you bender.h

I too went without crashes and black screens for weeks !

I also KNOW it is not a Perfect solution ( a better one would be for LG to get their act together and sort it).

All my BSOD occurences happen while the screen is off (after time out).. so as an extra precaution to prevent these crashes I also Manually Disable the Screen Timeout during large Data transfers, to and from SD card (eg : Downloading movies, music, albums...) as I have, in the past experienced crashes during these downloading / bluetooth transfers - when the phone's screen timeout had commenced.

I must admit i've also experinced shut downs while phone was in my pocket, on standby in my car... but ALWAYS occurences happen when the screen has timed out. It's very strange.

Has anyone suffered a crash / BSOD while actually using the phone ( before screen has timed out ) ? During flicking through the menu or perhaps playing game or surfing the web ?

Just curious, as I have yet to experience such.

When using the phone it seems to work, for me, faultlessly.

What are we supposed to do ? It's not possible (or indeed Practical) to disable the timeout completely, due to the huge battery drain..

Just wish LG would Help Us. We need it NOW. Anything they seem to be doing are in vain and past promises of software updates have failed to help..

This is the first LG phone I've purchased.. and as it stands, at the moment, it may be the last.
[LG Optimus 2x] Glutues Maximus:
I've had quite many BSODs while talking on the phone. As soon as the phone call ends the screen is black and I have to pull the battery to hang up. People on the tube are looking at me with a "what IS that guy doing"-kinda look.
[LG Optimus 2x] mogu:
Just wanna share my experience.

When my phone is charging(Stay awake to prevent crash, and I charge overnight average 6hours everyday).

No matter what I play on it and how hot it gets(really hot sometimes) no crashes.

After I unplug from the charger, 80% of the time it will crash once within 30mins(screen off).

Or when I finish playing games on it(it gets a bit warm) it crash after went into screen off.

I suspect 3 things that led to crashes,

1. Overheat

2. Faulty battery

3. Screen off function bug

For me, I set my screen off after 2mins, still crash but not that frequent, now trying 5mins. After playing games I try not to off the screen until it cools down.

Still testing.

Btw, I'm using Cyanogen mod nightly.
[LG Optimus 2x] grudil:
Hi!

Overheat shouldn't be the issue, since temperature is much higher while charging it on my car's dashboard.

As much as i've tried to "diagnose" whats the reason, i cannot :)

Guess it's not that simple, or EVEN LG would've fixed it already :)
[LG Optimus 2x] felixthecat:
bl**dy phone. overslept and was really caught me out recently. anyone else had this ? otherwise the phone is great. I have a very responsible job and now cant rely on this hitech gaget !
[LG Optimus 2x] sinkMe:
Hello

Bought the o2x in april. During the first charge I experienced my first battery pull. And til now, there have beeing a few more, and of course some reboots. Here is my thoery: If you charge or not, it will reboot anyhow. I have always use the charger for my Desire, and just have a few bsod and reboots while charging. But when driving to work, more of this strange behaviour. Seems for me that the phone struggles a bit when there is poor reception and switcing network (2g, 3g, H) and so on. Driving through tunnels and some area with only 2g. Result: bsod, reboot and warmer phone. Notice hugh battery drain at same time. This may vary from day to day.

Live in a town,(Bergen, Norway) and there have beeing some trouble with the basestation where I am hooked up with. Signals may often jump around from 2g, 3g and H. With the same results as mentioned before.

Because of this, I always have wifi turned on. This helped alot on the battery drain and the shutdowns. Longest uptime on my phone, is 75h! Have to restart it then because it started to be sluggish and slow.

When I have wifi on, it uses flat out ca 5mA on standby. Wifi off, it is chaotic! Not below 20mA and peaks sometimes to 1000mA ond standby, wich lead to big battery drain. Compare with my Desire wich using around 2mA in standby under the same conditions (with 2g, 3g, H)

I use Battey Monitor Widget on both phones

Stock rom, o2x v10b rooted
[LG Optimus 2x] rottenpenguin:
+1 reboot

I have the same problem with random reboots and black screen freeze when charging from the wall socket. The back panel has gotten a bit loose after so many battery removals.

I updated to v10d, but the problem remained. I think I used the UK firmware (I'm from Romania). Could this issue cause the problems or is it OK to install firmware for other countries?

I discovered another problem with this phone: when I was in vacation, I made a lot of photos while being in "Flight Mode". The battery status wasn't reported correctly. It showed I still had 90% but then suddenly the phone shut down. If I rebooted the phone, the battery status was reported correctly for that moment, but then again it didn't get updated at all. It was also weird that the Camera didn't show at Battery Usage at all (does it show on other Android phones?).

So, isn't today the last business day of week 24? Shouldn't we get an update this week?
[LG Optimus 2x] axepted:
The update is delayed (AGAIN) according to LG Support in Norway. I suppose its the same.

During June is the new time frame...

[LG Optimus 2x] lkjune:
My phone was shutdown when I was charging.

I reboot my O2X, then charge again and make a call...

By then I found that my screen got blank and no respond by pressing the power button but I still can talking to people, the line not drop yet.

During the conversation the phone getting hotter and hotter...

Anyone face this before?

The last option is take off the battery and plugin again... :(
[LG Optimus 2x] thomasnelissen:
Hi all,

I bought this phone 3 days ago an I'm facing the same problem. I am really surprised to see the number of people with the same problem. My phone froze, while not charging, and after removing the battery I couldn't boot again. It gets stuck in some sort of booting loop.

Anyway, i am trying to do perform a hard reset using the power and volume down buttons. I see a menu saying:

Android system recovery utility

reboot system now

apply sdcard: update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

I can select the different options using volume up/down, but how do I activate one?

Many thanks for your help!

Thomas
[LG Optimus 2x] Glutues Maximus:
Power button activates the highlighted menuitem.
[LG Optimus 2x] thomasnelissen:
Thanks for your quick response.

That doesn't seem to have any effect. When I push the power button nothing happens. I stay in the menu.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dead Cell:
Guys I think the problem lies with the charger, it's sending through too much current. I could leave mine charging for hours with the default charger and it would still stay art 5% for example and then warn me that the battery is low as soon as I unplug.

I now use a blackberry charger which sends through less power and no longer have this issue as it charges fine now and no more restarts our shut downs.

Take the battery out and leave for 5 minutes and then charge for a good few hours using a blackberry charger and report back here to let us know. good luck.
[LG Optimus 2x] bodmark:
It gives me a headache now when I try to diagnose the problem.

I now only try to manage this issue.

I still think that the Automatic screen timeout is major contributor to these problems.

I now manage by using the Stay Awake while charging setting and lengthening the automatic screen timeout with an App (sofft).

I have found that if I change the default timeout (i use 6 minutes. No less or I have problems) and then Manually turn the screen off (by pressing off button) then i can eliminate the crashes completely. Well.. i have done, so far.

It IS bit of a pain manually switching off screen.. but i've found the Automatic timeout is often the cause. Don't seem to experience any black , unresponsive screens after i've MANUALLY turned off the screen (which ya need to do as it's not practical to leave on due to battery drain as result).

Obviously there will be occasions when you may forget to manually turn off screen but that is why you need to set a Reasonable Automatic screen timeout (found little trouble with 6 minutes.)

You should all try it and you'll notice the difference.

It is the only way i can tolerate using this phone.

Until Lg get their act together.

Don't think there is much more we can do.

I don't want to diagnose.. it's not Our responsibility after all.
[LG Optimus 2x] rottenpenguin:
I used the trick with the screen and I didn't have problems for a week. Until today.

At first I had another problem: every now and then the WiFi won't activate. If I go to the WiFi settings, the message "Error" is displayed under the WiFi checkbox. And the only way to get out of it is a reboot. FY LG!

I tried to enable the WiFi several times. And guess what? I got a BSOD and I had to take out the battery! FY again LG!

I get the same "error" message occasionally for Wifi. Only reboot helps. Haven't gotten any BSOD's though.
[LG Optimus 2x] pmcguire:
Got mine back on Friday after it's second service, seemed to be working ok, one reboot and today I found it in "zombie mode" in my pocket.

It's registered on the GSM network and calls don't go straight to answerphone, but the phone doesn't give any indication that someone is actually trying to call you and a battery pull is needed.

Dear LG Electronics, kindly go **** yourself!!:mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] cartoonistas:
Is there a chance that the problems of reboots,maybe ,are the results of incompatible sim card ????
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
Yes, old news.
[LG Optimus 2x] rottenpenguin:
This morning I found the phone turned off because of depleted battery, although it was connected to my laptop and it was like 40% before I went to sleep. The alarm didn't function of course, so I woke up half an hour later.

Naturally, I got angry and called LG Romania. They said they know the issue, and it was addressed in an 2.3 update to be released in September. The guy added that there won't be another update to 2.2 in the meantime. :mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] pmcguire:
I finally got rid of mine yesterday, without doubt the worst investment I made in a long time.

Reboots

I bought 2 Optimus 2X phones. One had reboot issue when I answered a call or called and the other party answered. After 4 weeks(!) on service I got the same phone back and they claimed to have updated the software. It was v. 10B and 405 baseband, the same as when I delivered it. So I'm not sure what they did with it. Anyway my reboots where gone. The reboots have only happened a few times after that. One was when I installed "Total recall". Since that I have been using Cyanmod and DJ Droid.
[LG Optimus 2x] .:george:.:
Mine seems to die (shuts off, battery pull) after flashing new CM7 nightly every time once or twice. Then it seems to run fine, may be just a coincidence though...

Anyone having same symptoms?
[LG Optimus 2x] colman1982:
Mine was very stable on CM7. But I think they changed battery on mine or something. Cos I feel its not hot anymore when it is charging.
[LG Optimus 2x] g2david:
My phone black out twice a day. Even worse with CM7 build, probably I need to send it back for repair.
[LG Optimus 2x] justfortest:
CM7 RC1

Mine has this issue since stock to CM7. I will monitor it longer in order to report back. But so far from yesterday morning till now. No shutdown, no blackout (finger crossed.) What I did is I removed the T-mobile wifi calling app.

If it happens again I will report back.
[LG Optimus 2x] limaco:
Maybe it's a proximity sensor related issue?

In my unit always happens when it's in my pocket or faced down. Anyone knows a way to disable the sensor?

Tried every baseband, every kernel and every custom rom, with no results so far.
[LG Optimus 2x] limaco:
Is there the solution? Is it related?

[LG Optimus 2x] anshmiester78900:
seriously man after reading these comments im afraid to buy this phone ... Does this phone have some serious problems .?? :'(

i was about to buy this phone
[LG Optimus 2x] pulsation:
Well, you should take care about where you buy it and be sure you can exchange it or have it reimbursed if there is a problem at least for the first month of use.
[LG Optimus 2x] anshmiester78900:
ohk ..! so did ur 2X got any reboot problems ?
[LG Optimus 2x] pulsation:
Automatic shutdowns with battery pull needed to turn it back on, frequency depending on charger.
[LG Optimus 2x] anshmiester78900:
while charging this thing happens ?
[LG Optimus 2x] limaco:
Right now, you have better choices.

You just can't trust LG. After more than three months they haven't been able not just to solve the case, but even to figure what the cause is. Too many chances to get a faulty unit. Just look at the price tag, it dropped about 40% in this time frame, with better specs than a lot of competitors. For no reason?

LG, never again.
[LG Optimus 2x] anshmiester78900:
Ohk so i should go for HTC Desire HD or SGS ?
[LG Optimus 2x] limaco:
None of those. Dual processor is a must if you don't want your phone to become obsolete in three monts , otherwise you will be stuck on gingerbread.

But if you really have no choice, SGS.
[LG Optimus 2x] anshmiester78900:
Ohk bro thnx but im really worried about this reboot thing . if it wasnt there i would have bought this phone
[LG Optimus 2x] limaco:
Well, you can get it, since units with reboots and bsods always show these issues from the first day. If you can return it, give it a try, so you can keep your peace of mind.

I've relatively good news, though: updated to latest CM7 nightly (64) and no problems so far, even while I'm doing all the things that used to crash the phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] anshmiester78900:
WOW man +1 for u .! u really gave me a relief cuz i was able to afford this duel core phone only .! SGS2 n Sensation are too much costly in India But i was getting 2X at the cost of DHD n SGS so i thought of buying it but after knowing its reboot problem i was really disappointed ,,!

also u mean to say that every one is not facing reboot in CM7 nightly (64) or is it only u ?
[LG Optimus 2x] limaco:
Just me so far... six hours is a record!

Keep in mind that the problems are widely reported, and not country specific, so if you really like the phone, cover your back and be sure that you'll get the refund. Take a look here, to see how happy people is with o2x:

facebook.com/pages/LG-Optimus-2X-Random-Reboots/212332242129438
[LG Optimus 2x] remczar69:
Based on my experiences with O2X I would recommend the phone. Since I have it (almost 2 months) I had 3 reboots and no BSOD's. They only happened when changing the SIM car abroad. There are many people, who are as lucky as me and don't have any of those issues on their O2X.

I have also read a lot of threads about those issues, but I decided to take the risk and bought it anyway...and I don't regret it, cause it's a great phone, and other dual core phones are much more expensive.

If you can exchange the unit or send back to the seller, I would give it a try.
[LG Optimus 2x] sid1712:
Happens with me too, but only on a few nightlies. RC1 was fine but #64 caused my phone to overheat and shut down. Also, it also crewed b=my battery reading. Went from 64 to 1 in an instant :/

[LG Optimus 2x] Dead Cell:
I've had mine now for about 2 months and the only problem I face is that the phone won't charge consistently. Sometimes it charges 100% and it well work fine no bsod or random reboots or shutdowns.

When it decides not to charge properly for example the phone is at 30% charge, and I connect the charger I can leave it charging for hours and it will get to about 50% and won't charge no more.

If I try to use it with 50% charge then a random shutdown is guaranteed so I must make sure it charges to 100% otherwise I'm stuffed!

To charge it to 100%, when it doesn't charge beyond say 50%, I have to pull out the battery and try again otherwise it doesn't matter how long I leave it charging it won't go beyond 50%.

But as mentioned when it charges properly to 100% it works absolutely fine.

Btw the blackberry charger doesn't work, still get the same problem!
[LG Optimus 2x] Tommy2812:
Hi all,

I first got my brand new optimus 2x in may. Immediately I experienced random reboot issues and bsod, which I first tried to solve by rooting the phone and installing a custom rom (modaco vanilla)... This didn't solve the issue so I rolled back to the stock rom and through the 24hrs VIP service here in Belgium had the phone replaced in a bit more than a week (:-))

So, they guys from Proassist came to my office and handed me a "new" phone which was clearly a refurbished one...

Installed the battery and the sim and all seemed fine, until after about 10 minutes the first bsod came up again... I used the phone for a day and had about 10 bsod's, even more than my original unit...

So the next day I called the VIP service again, this was last wednesday, and today they brought me a new unit... They even threw in an extra battery cover and spare battery... So now I have two covers and two batteries...

So this morning I wanted to put in the battery and discovered this unit had a manufacturing error that doesn't allow me to put the back cover on completely, there is this plastic thing that's not supposed to be there and that's impossible to remove... So I called the vip service again, looked like they were getting a bit embarassed this time... I will be contacted by Proassist again and will receive my 4th unit hopefully tomorrow but more likely by the end of the week...

I truly love this phone, best one I ever had, especially with the Modaco Vanilla rom, but I really want to get rid of this reboot & bsod issue, this makes the phone totally useless to me... At the moment using a Nokia E71 and this really frustrates me, I want to go back to Android...

I will keep you guys posted on the outcome of this one...
