Similar experiences for my LG phone bought in hk. I am not sure whether the problem is related to the official lock screen. Having I change to use pattern lock screen, no reboot problem occurs again.
[LG Optimus 2x] felixthecat:
help

I have just preordered one of these and hope for delivery soon... I am VERY concerned about this. I really want this phone but this sounds like a major problem. If I can't get calls or my alarm does not work. should I cancel my order ???
[LG Optimus 2x] ronaldtheking:
I have sent an email to LG hk to reflect this bug.
[LG Optimus 2x] bryant_16:
Got to see what is their reply.
[LG Optimus 2x] sturm1909:
can anyone confirm this?
[LG Optimus 2x] mmig9:
I use the pattern lock screen since the beginning I've my Optimus 2X, but I've reboot issue...

Edit : I've freeze some apps with Titanium (Car Mode, FSecure, SNS, App Advisor and Preloaded Apps) but it's the same thing... I've always the reboot issue...
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
I installed CWM and flashed new radio drivers to my phone and so far no reboots or shutdowns
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
Hi Guys!

I have not experienced boots or shutdowns with my Optimus 2x.

Have kept it on charge over night two times (only had it for 2 days :))

Operator: Telenor Norway

Baseband: 1035.21_20110223

Kernel: 2.6.32.9

SW: V10a

Rooted straight away, installed ClockWork and deleted (not frozen) all LG junk including the launcher, replaced by Launcher PRO!

Edit: Have also removed the LG mail client and installed the AOSP Email.apk (w/o sec.)
[LG Optimus 2x] mmig9:
I don't have the same baseband... It's interesting... I've the baseband 1035.21.20110218 ...

Can you give me the names of the apps that you've deleted please?

You have deleted them with Titanium?

It's a very good news!! This issue is due to the software and not the hardware so... You have try to do a full charge??

Envoyé depuis mon LG Optimus 2X P990
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
I'll try to remember what i have deleted :). .. I have not deleted them with Titanium, used root explorer and yanked them off /system/app..

deleted the following:

appadvisor

carhome

cyon

emailwidget

fsecure

sns

Maybe more, but these i remember... :)

Haven't got any reboots the last week. Rooted, cwm and ext4 rom
[LG Optimus 2x] bullyfrog:
The folks at LG service center (Singapore) can't recreate the problem..hence, suspecting it's just a software issue, they have reflashed the rom and will be returning me the same phone..let's hope that's all it takes..(but i doubt it) ...will keep u all posted if I face the shutdown issue again..
[LG Optimus 2x] bryant_16:
Yup, do let us know about it. I'm from Singapore too.

Yours is the shutdown during charging is it?
[LG Optimus 2x] eniux:
Same thing here an hour ago but it wasn't turned off, lg home died on me somehow. managed to restart it by connecting the power cable somehow.
[LG Optimus 2x] Naadi900:
Shutdown logs

I posted this before in this thread, but nobody picked it up.

In the Hidden Menu you can enable loggers.

Here is my edited log where a shutdown happened during charging.

I was texting, then put the phone to sleep, and very soon the phone was dead.

Needed to pull the battery.

I would highly appreciate it if someone with kernel knowledge could have a look at this log, to see if something is weird.

Maybe if others also run the logger it will help up to find the problem, and report it to LG.
[LG Optimus 2x] dronarg:
I received the phone three days ago and no reboot at this time.

No root or specific launcher.
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
I have had mine updated with new radio drivers and CWM installed and for the last 2 days I have not had any reboots or shutdowns on mine. I do however still experience the "unresponsive" situations that people talk about, but I can recover by continuously pressing power and one of the volume buttons repeatedly.
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
Maybe post your baseband and other info as this could help find a solution to the problems users are having..
[LG Optimus 2x] tdci100:
I just had an "almost BSOD".. This is what I have "almost BSOD" with my third unit, it will either reboot at some point, or come back to life (unlike my two previous units which would require battery removal).

As soon as I noticed the BSOD, I plugged the phone in and started "adb lolcat" (yes, lolcat works :) )

It took a solid 3 minutes for the phone to come back to life.. First, I got the growl notification that the phone got plugged in, 3 minutes after plugging it in.

Then, then around 1 minute later adb produced a massive output in a split second, which you'll find in attachment.

Please rename from .7z to .txt (wtf XDA ? 87.9 KB max per TXT file ??)

I really believe it's software and hardware issues combined. The software starts to mess up and if the hardware is faulty, it will overheat and die. If the hardware is OK, at some point it will come back to life or just reboot.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
ive had the phone since day one and the only time i have had the BSOD is when I go back to my nandroid copy of stock, all other roms are fine.

And it only happens about once a week, so in my opinion it's something in the stock rom thats causing it.

Never had no random reboots either
[LG Optimus 2x] PathOfDecay:
I just bought LG P990 and Im very sad to say I experience freezes such as once my phone locked I can't even slide and unlock it..it's driving me insane. I tried rebooting, taking out the battery and such and it still doesnt work! >: Should I send it for repair? :/
[LG Optimus 2x] StardustOne:
The phone cannot be repaired, simply return it to the shop and ask for the money back. LG does not have a clue what is going on, so you would only waste your time if you try and have it repaired.
[LG Optimus 2x] PathOfDecay:
Eh, Im very disappointed..I had high expectations i guess i think we all did but it all went wrong. Well, I still can try to get it replaced or something and if I still get the some problem I'd probably just give up and ask for my money back. :/ Thing is I still hear that not all who bought the phone have those issues. I'm not from the lucky ones.
[LG Optimus 2x] r1si:
the problem is fixed on my device , when i install cm mod on it .

:)
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
What mod??
[LG Optimus 2x] XT69:
I just had my first reboot (while charging) since I have my phone... but i think 1 in a month is still acceptable... at least it doesn't reboot every hour :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Venkarl:
I installed MoDaCo Fr17 last night . 2 self reboots and 1 shutdown so far. I might go for a refund.:confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] waynefox:
Had another shutdown on mine while it was sat in my pocket doing nothing.

Starting to get sick of this and LGs whole attitude of "We couldn't give a S*#t"

Just read on TechRadar that the promised update has now been pushed to the 2nd half of June (of what year I don't know)

I was goint to get my handset exchanged but can't really see the point as I've seen a few people say they still have the same issue on their 2nd or 3rd handset.
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
Well I'm going to give them a bit more time...but I'm getting to the end.

@Waynefox if you're on contract (like me) basically you have to go through the motions sadly. After 3 replacements I believe they have to offer you a different brand of phone. So unless you are ready for weeks without the phone....hang tight!
[LG Optimus 2x] kainakos:
WIFI PROB

Ok it happened the axact same thing just now !!! Wifi problems, 3 tries to connect to wifi 4th try stuck. Lock the screen while the wifi is still trying screen never opens again !!! Ok what is this ?? :mad:

EDIT !! : Phone has not stuck !! I put a friend to call me while the phones screen wasnt oppening. The phone was ringing and vibrating just fine. Though the screen wouldnt open !! This is realy weird stuff.
[LG Optimus 2x] waynefox:
What I find most frustrating is I like the phone. Looks and Feature wise it's what I want.

The Appalling software and support is not what I wanted though
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
Completely with you on that! Have seen a friends SGS2. Feels like a toy with no 'substance' to it.

Only phone I would consider instead of this is the HTC Sensation which isn't even out yet.

Real shame on the software. Wonder if the Optimus 3D will suffer in the same way as the O2x? If so they have some real issues on their hands!

Surely would be better just giving people stock Android. Gotta be cheaper and less fuss :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] pmcguire:
Mine (2nd one) switched off 3 times today, got an email from my boss asking why my phone was off, WTF??

It's going back tomorrow and I really hope to get another model (SGSII or Sensation)

Really have no confidence in this phone at all.
[LG Optimus 2x] Wwax:
My LGP990 is going back for the third and last time today and will exchange it for a plastic toy called Galaxy or if possible (hopefully) wait for a Sensation if the reseller agrees, anything is better than this peice of junk.

The magic fix will not come, LG is just stalling for Gingerbread that really should have been released a looong time ago.

To bad really, it was a nice phone for the first few days but i have never hated an electronic "dead" thing more than this godforsaken brick of glass and plastic.

Well hopefully this is the last post in this thread from this old whining SOB.

Read this. i think the problem is solved.

I want to buy tomorrow this mobile phone and i cant try now if it is fixed. So follow the instructions of the five pages, and tell here if the problem fixed. it is update from lg and you will installed from lg mobile support tool
[LG Optimus 2x] waynefox:
It's not fixed

Reading the last page of that article http://recombu.com/news/lg-optimus-2x-random-rebooting-fix-available-now_M14317-5.html#photo

it says

'Success! Once the new version has installed, it should show up as ‘LGP990-V10d’ in the About section of your LG Optimus 2X'

It's only the v10d update which didn't fix anything :-(
[LG Optimus 2x] joepapas:
so i think that i must not buy this mobile phone
[LG Optimus 2x] kostasalfa:
Galaxy s2 is not plastil at all!!

After exchanging my lg 2x paperweight for a gs2...i couldnt be more happier guys!!

IN TERMS OF EVERYTHING!! Speed is really 2x the optimus (;)).. And the screen..omg!! Never had an amoled before.. Look, all of you are reading reviews etc..Its another thing reading about it, another touching it in the store..and another owning it!!

Dont think of it for a sec.. All of you who can, go get one gs2 as exchange..Trust me! (i was most sceptical about this than all of you together!! but it paid off!! i will not tease you with uptime time!!)

Seriously, DONT wait for fix.. 19 times in this thread i stated there isnt..! till this day and over two months now, its still true!
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
Welll... I've never actually had this problem with my O2x, only when using some of the custom roms out there. On stock this have never happened to me. I have had the phone since it was released in Norway.

Now i'm running the latest EURO OPEN 10c, and no problems at all. I gave up on the ROM switching as i switched every two days and actually did not use my phone for anything else than trying roms.. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] decodeSA:
just another user with restarts and shutdowns. Should I go for exchange/repair or wait update?! :// Phone is two weeks old.
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
I started at 10a with no reboots and shutdowns, and now running 10c.. no problems here either. So i'm thinking that this could be a hw problem...

You could try Euro Open 10c from 16th May with baseband 0405, no troubles here.
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
IMO If you're in a contract go get it swapped for a new phone. in the 1st 4 weeks you can get a new handset, however after that period they will normally make you send it for repair which is rubbish!
[LG Optimus 2x] gaz31:
Go for an exchange mate, i am on my fourth o2x and will keep swapping until i get a working model. The one i have now has come with

10d installed while the others had 10b so hoping this will be a keeper.
[LG Optimus 2x] Vertigood:
Why can't I get the C or D software? Had B for many weeks now.
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:

Hello

Wear a month with my Optimus 2X and I've been reading up on the restarts. During the first 2 weeks with the stock rom from vodafone Spain had no problems, and any time I reboot, uninstall f-secure, sns, Juice defender, and others. I noticed that I always happening every day at the same time, at 4:05 am, which coincides with an event that I have programmed in Timerrific. The event is to activate the wifi.

I tested this in Juice defender and other events and programs that automate always the case the device restarts.

I concluded that the wireless activated from standby causes the famous reboots.This always happens.

Then leave a list of tests I've done and the settings on my phone.

With Vodafone Spain V10D psycho 2.6.32.9 kernel and Other minor tweaks.

The phone without WIFI enabled: never reboot.

Charging the mobile in the pc usb Without Wifi enabled: Never reboot

Charging the mobile in the wall adapter Without Wifi enabled: Never reboot

The Same tests with WIFI enabled: never reboot except if the wireless is activated in standby mode.

Also if you take the wifi enabled with the phone in his pocket from overheating if there is wireless access points within range. If you take it does not happen with 3G.

I performed the same tests on my Advent Vega (Nivida Tegra on Froyo too) and never reboot, but I could not turn the wireless on standby mode.

I think it's possible that all our problems come from a problem in the drivers of the wifi and not the processor.

Sorry for my English, I have somewhat neglected.:o

[LG Optimus 2x] Draknof:
What is exactly the LG patch, a firmware update or an OS update ?

because I find even worse to have LG laggy OS than having reboot issue
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
firmware and OS are one and the same

I dont know what else is in this update besides fixing crash and reboot
[LG Optimus 2x] kukhen:
Haven't they been saying they'll fix it in "2 weeks" since 2-3 months back? People throughout this whole thread have been saying that and when I called them 3 weeks ago they told me "in 2 weeks" as well. Seems to be the magic amount of time.

By the way, I'm on V10b and can't find any newer version when checking, is there any other way to get the updates or do I have to wait for my carrier to send them out to me?
[LG Optimus 2x] zerocool898:
I have one as well and I love it, I do get the point where once in a while it will reboot but it's very in frequent. I do have some issues where I have to reboot it but those two are infrequent enough for me to ignore since this is a pretty great phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] overseasite:
I have no problem on it. I think you should install auto task killer.
[LG Optimus 2x] waynefox:
Task Killers are not really recommended on Android
[LG Optimus 2x] pulsation:
Right, they just break useful services if not correctly configured, and the o2x has plenty of memory.

What we need is an "auto hardware bug killer" :)
[LG Optimus 2x] b3spok3:
+1 to the random reboots here.

I was running MCR for a few weeks and hadn't had many noticeable ones. Got one last night though, a few minutes after I plugged into mains for charging Sunday night. Phone had not been charged since Friday morning, and had been left off for most of the weekend.
[LG Optimus 2x] petosak:
Hi Guys,

my O2X is in service again.

Freeze and restart solved motherboard replacement.

But now, i'm loosing GSM signal for a more than 5 min, and knowing problem with switching WiFi on 10c version.

.......But, i bought SGS2.

I`m surprised. All is functional, all is speed, all is good !!

O2X is scrap !

Sorry for my opinion.
[LG Optimus 2x] dkb218:
I thought you guys had the update already. So this only means us here with T-Mobile USA will be waiting for a few more months. This is crap. :( This is my first and will be my last LG phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] ClausG76:
So if LG replaced the motherboard, to fix the shutdown/lag issue. Does that mean that Lg think it's hardware related?
[LG Optimus 2x] kasperddv:
Ive got the same to.

I Bought my X2 on 22th of April, the first day i had the same problem.

Contacted LG, they gave me a new one, and still the same F problem!

i knew it wasnt a good choice to buy a LG
[LG Optimus 2x] petosak:
Yes. I thing so.

I thing thal LG finding SW patch to fix HW problem.....
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
I've overwon the BSOD 2 times now :D

When ever you power on your device and the screen doesn't show (and ur thinking of having a BSOD), press to power button again (so it will shut down the screen as normal). Count till 20/30sec and press power button again, and there it is. No reboot needed :)
[LG Optimus 2x] bodmark:
Found A Solution to this Problem..

After updating the software to the latest version, which Lg says will cure the problem of the Black Screen of Death.. after just 2 hours I experienced the same problem. It just didn't help..

However, I have discovered a solution which I discovered myself.

It only involves changing one setting. Proceed to SETTINGS from home, then click APPLICATIONS, then DEVELOPMENT and then check the box for STAY AWAKE.

That's it. This prevents the screen from turning off when charging.

As I found that ALL my problems happened when the screen was off AND when the phone was Charging OR Data was being transfered to or from Sd Card.

One thing you Must remember is to DIDSABLE Screen Timeout when Charging or Transfering Large amounts of Data; but once finished you can them revert to your normal Screen timeout settings (Mine is set 1 Min).

Using this method I have yet to experience any reboots or Unresponsive black screens.

It has worked for me, it is not Ideal solution, but at least I'm not removing the battery 3 to 6 times a day.

Hope this helps you all !

Mark
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
Thx Mark, but you are still refering to the old baseband update which didnt cure bsod/reboots - theres another new update being released this week or the next week which is intended to fix these issues, but it isnt out yet.
[LG Optimus 2x] bodmark:
A Solution..

...to this problem.

Go to SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS, DEVELOPMENT then Check box STAY AWAKE. This cures the black screen of death / Rebooting during Charging.

When downloading / Transfering large files (where screen timeout will occur) , you must Disable Screen Timeout in settings to prevent these problems during Data writing to SD card.

It's NOt an ideal solution, but at least I'm not removing the battery 3 to 6 times a day.

Hope this helps you all experiencing this annoying problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] bodmark:
Oh.. I wasn't aware of that. Thx. Do you know which Version the Upgrade will be and can I get it from the LG Website ?
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
we dont know yet what the version number will be - but once its released it will be available from the LG website and for certain there will instantly be a new thread here informing of the update and the version number when released - so just keep checking here.
[LG Optimus 2x] elgene:
I'm using CM7 (currently - version 06062011-nightly) and i had no restart or freeze for 3 days!

Of course, there are some minor bugs, but no one restart or freeze after which a have to pull out the battery.
[LG Optimus 2x] pmcguire:
I got my phone back from service, apparently they changed the battery. :confused::confused::confused:

Nope they didn't change the battery, they did sweet FA to it. Apparently there is nothing wrong with it!!

And my phone had once again turned itself off within an hour of taking it back.

Fun ****ing tastic!
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
G2X users said that the battery was replaced and that fixed the reboot/shutdown issues for some people.
[LG Optimus 2x] frittenpiekse:
i never had bsod and reboots while charging, only during idle 2-3 times a week

strange thing is, last week i tested a bit (CM7) and after that i flashed latest stock (from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12890619#post12890619)

since then i neither hab bsod nor reboots, actual uptime is 90 hours ^^
[LG Optimus 2x] waynefox:
mine seems to have stopped the BSOD and started rebooting randomly instead
[LG Optimus 2x] kelvin_tan:
Allow me to contribute to the people here for my scenario.

I bought my o2x and within the first 30 minutes, already it has problems. The screen wouldnt light up. I removed the battery and continued this cycle for 8 hours (showing that this is a consistent problem).

Finally I called the phone seller and got a replacement unit BUT using the same battery as my old one and voila, there is NO MORE restart / SOD for me.

FYI:

I was using stock ROM and havent rooted back then and the problem already started. Once I got the replacement phone, I used it for a week and no problems. I only rooted + flashed custom ROM in after that.

My suggestion to those that have problems, go get your replacement units. There are units that totally do not have any problems with it.

Ps: I'm from Malaysia in case any of you are wondering.
[LG Optimus 2x] sjanssen15:
I think it's not an Android related problem. However, I'm noticing alot of apps not responding or not starting.

I tested alot of scenario's and ROM's.

Situation 1:

ROM: Stock LG

Problems: Reboots, crashes (only turns back on with a removal of battery and the phone is very hot)

Situation 2:

ROM: CM7 2.2.2 and more roms

Problems: Reboots, crashes (only turns back on with a removal of battery and the phone is very hot)

Situation 3:

ROM: WGSpoelstra 2.3.4 (Ginger)

Note: This ROM runs very well! My battery doesn't drain much (used GPS, Camera, Twitter en Skype the whole day and I still got 52 left when I got home from my walk)

Problems: Also random reboots and some more crashes :( I missed my alarm this morning because it hung while charing. Then I went to work and it hung while not charching.

What do you think guys, should I use the VIP service for a new one? I can flash it back to base ROM so that is no problem. I'm sick of buying bad phones all the time so I hope LG will get this fixed. I also don't have much trust in the Android platform anymore so I hope that thought will also be fixed:D
[LG Optimus 2x] pulsation:
imho you should exchange it before it's too late, "normal" phones won't crash nor reboot with stock LG rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] sjanssen15:
Yeah that's also what I thought, I mean, even with other Android versions it fails. It has to be a hardware failure.

Going to get that VIP service(H)
