At tweakers.net in Holland we are also noticing that a lot of ppl who have reboots have juicedefender installed, and a lot of ppl who do not have juicedefender do not have reboots. I'm one of the latter, when I have time I'll make a backup of my phone and install juicedefender to see if it starts crashing.
[LG Optimus 2x] zhehao:
I bought my O2X a few days ago.

Till now havent suffered any reboots for me.

Installed Fear 8.1 + rooted.
[LG Optimus 2x] Denonite:
Downgraded from CM7 to FR15 and been up with no freezes for 51 hours

Settings are as follows

Baseband: 1035.21_20110405

Kernal 2.6.32.28-mck-r10

Rom: MoDaCo Fr15 - standard non-kitchen version

Still get slowdown when downloading from the market and other apps but can live with that for now, rather have a stable phone that stays on.
[LG Optimus 2x] IPdaily:
Damn another reboot after 26 or so hours! Not a shut down or a freeze, never had to take the battery out. The weird thing is the handful times it restarted i was either unplugging it from charge in the morning or keeping it upside down in my poket. All the other times i plugged and unplugged the phone or all the time it‘s in my pokets it does not restart. Has always been either mornings or upside down in my pocket. Weird
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
Never used and liked that kind of software.

Prefer to be in control myself and not needed at all on a linux based OS

In most cases this has nothing to do with the problem at all...

Its real simple we have one O2X which is working fine without any issues... (10 + weeks )

One with heat and wall charger issues with freezes and reboots / shutdowns ( that one is replaced by a refurbished one via the so called vip service NL)

The replacement doesn‘t have the wall charger and heat issues but the new unit has the following symptoms:

- BSOD ( solve it via a battery pull)

- Spontaneous shutdowns (the phone is switched off by it self)

- LCD top black light bleeding

In general what every O2X has is the enormous lag behavior the phone has when installing or updating software

Remark all on Non Rooted phones and default Rom...

All units on the latest software in NL V10B
[LG Optimus 2x] cartoonistas:
I would like to share with you a very strange experience that i had the other days.

I was charging my phone and unpluged it as it was full. Unfortunatelly it felt into "Black Screen" and as i was very depressed i sat down and was looking at it misserably.

BUT!! The device was on operation!!!

What happened i can't explain,but the screen turned on and off again with a pause of 5 seconds. The ending was as usual to take out the battery.

How you explain that???
[LG Optimus 2x] tallguy_uk_98:
I have an O2X and I'm on V10d, have have no lock ups or freezes for a good while (weeks) but yes the phone can get warm when charging, I don't which of the following has improved the situation but I have installed V10d, stopped using a silcon case which really did insulate the phone hence got v warm and I've set to yes (ticked) stay awake while charging under the development section of applications (Settings->applications->Development) Other than relatively poor battery performance I'm reasonably happy with my O2X
[LG Optimus 2x] BlackDragonPL:
Just had my first freeze today while listening to the music, after 24+ hours without a reboot. I have my phone since a week but I was rebooting it very often due to GPS testing.

ROM: stock V10b

Kernel: 2.6.32.9

Baseband: 1035.21_20110405
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
That is what we call BSOD ( black screen of death) or freeze

I think what could be a cause is due to memory starvation in other words memory leak...
[LG Optimus 2x] petosak:
I have back my O2X from service point.

Result: changed AC adapter and cable :mad:

So, i checked sw. They changed to:

Android 2.2.2

Baseband 1035.21_20110405

Core 2.6.32.9-dirty

Build FRG83G

LGE LGP990-V10c !!

Let's trying.....
[LG Optimus 2x] mikeyd85:
There's an update now to fix the issues according to TechRadar. You guys might wanna test it out. :) I gave up on mine a week ago, so good luck to those still with one! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Diskb0x:
Just tried to apply this on mine but it says I have V10d and have the latest update. Hoping someone else has more success. :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] Newkie:
Have not had this problem since I switched from STOCK from, so I think its definitely a software error in STOCK
[LG Optimus 2x] carlos118:
a lot of people are having this right?
[LG Optimus 2x] waynefox:
Dammit. Unlocked my phone and wlan wouldn't wake up or see any networks.

Tried to switch wifi off and on again and the phone just rebooted
[LG Optimus 2x] Chris Daßler:
I had the same issues with reboots, shut offs and BSODs. So I've tried some custom roms. I got a more unstable device as before - it freezes 3 times within a hour and every time I had to pull out the battery. So I've flashed back to the STOCK rom mentioned here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007825 - It has a kernel version 2.6.32.9 and a baseband version 1035.20110405. With this OS it seems more stable and I got some 85+ hours without reboots or freezes! Maybe it is the kernel, because my device comes from Amazon with a kernel version 2.6.32.9-dirty? Can anyone confirm this?
[LG Optimus 2x] tdci100:
I'm on my 3rd NLD unit

Two BSOD on CM7

One reboot today (waking it up, asking for PIN), it's running Vanilla Fr15, it was lying on the desk doing nothing. No task killer..

This unit hasn't had the "warm" problem and never hung while charging.. unlike two previous units.

I'm going for a refund. If they don't accept, I'm gonna ruin them with weekly exchanges via VIP service for the next 11 months, and make it a bad press.

Just wondering guys, do you all have GPS enabled constantly ?
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
Guys was on wifi and just picked up the phone because I received a message...

I noticed wifi lost connection and the phone was really hot at the backside :eek:

Also a battery drain more as usual :eek:

After connecting wifi which was just available the phone became less hot and is now at normal temperatures...

Could this be an issue?

Curious about your experiences here with wifi?

But almost lost my thrust in LG products anymore :(

Going to call T-mobile NL Monday want another product (different brand) which is lag free and stable and no reboots or shutdowns...

I'm finally to give-up what could be a great product but I didn't paid 500 euros to have a horror story and this kind of problems with different phones :(

General: standard ROM / LG software / Non Rooted phone never used task-killers or memory mangers because the OS does that for you :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] jan1000:
My tips to prevent reboots

- don't use task Killers like juice defender

- root your phone

- freeze lg home, f-secure, car kit (to freeze aps download anttek app manager from market)

- install setcpu and set max speed to 400 MHz (when screen is off)
[LG Optimus 2x] ozivillan:
My tip, buy a different phone

and what about all those people out there who bought the phone to use straight out of the box and have no idea about rooting, custom roms, or the existance of sites like XDA to help with these problems, too many variable issues with this phone, one can only label this phone a lemon
[LG Optimus 2x] Oldcow9999:
I bought this phone since first launch in Hong Kong around early April. I use stock rom(s) and never root the phone. Before V10d, the phone is still "ok" with few BSoD. After updated to V10d, the phone hangs/freezes more often, get very hot when doing nothing, so hot that almost burn my microSD card.

This phone is full of real AI that it changes and generates new problems every day. This morning, it just locks up at the Screen Lock page when scrollin up half way. So it now has a WSoD as well. As usual, the permanent solution is "take out the battery".

LG should post this permanent solution on its official blog rather than giving out crap updates.

For real, I want my money back, nothing else for this POS
[LG Optimus 2x] Chris Daßler:
As I wrote in post 1074, the LGOS seems to be more unstable with a STOCK kernel version labeled "-dirty". I've tried the STOCK rom V10c and got more freezes which brings me to the point of rooting and trying something else. I disabled some apps like F-Secure, Carhome and don't use any task killer! This seems to be bad for android devices. I read an article about internal memory management on this OS and it doesn't make any sense to hard kill apps, which leads to data loss or inconsistency ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Sheppie:
I'm with you with the whole wifi thing. My phone also rebooted after I let juice defender control my wifi. I tried to turn the service off but it still didn't work.

So I uninstalled JD (after reading that program's like that are not so good for the phone) but I didn't use wifi after that so maybe to test it later. The battery didn't get to hot when wifi was on, so no clue if that's a problem
[LG Optimus 2x] Pfeffa-rah:
The things I tried had no effect after all. (check 1st post on may 12th)
[LG Optimus 2x] chong81:
The post above was on 22 Apr. Since then, the third set has been generally stable, with the odd hang every week or less.

But last weekend I did a battery stat wipe, and it rebooted 3-4 times and shut off while charging with back feeling hot, all within 2 days. The problems magically disappeared after that and phone is stable again.
[LG Optimus 2x] monkeytown:
hey guys, i think i´m affected, too.

i noticed this thing 2 times now, last time I had like 60%+ battery left and after I had put it away for an hour, I wanted to unlock the screen and nothing happened....I plugged it on and the battery was empty :(

first time it happened, battery was at about 50%.

any way to solve this, without returning the phone?

could it be a rom problem?
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
Well Gentleman my Son his O2X has now also the same behavior as his dad O2X replacement...

Counting from march release till 4 days ago no problems and it starts now acting weird with BSOD and reboots...

Nothing changed on the software field..

LG should do a recall there is a very serious problem here...

My own phone has just shut off today in my pocket had to startup again this piece of junk hardware...

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Sad to hear that for your boy. Any change in his usage pattern? Or change in environment (like hotter room, lower reception area etc)?
[LG Optimus 2x] kostasalfa:
There is a thread called : Does anyone NOT having the reboot/freeze issues???

I see a lot of posts there, mine is fine for a week now, no problems!! Other one saying..perfect phone, got it for 2 days now, awesome!!

I ve said before that 1 1/2 month at least is required with this piece of crap to justify mine is ok..!! ( now you prove me wrong too!! ) So i am laughing with all these posts..

LG SHOULD RECALL EVERY PHONE CAUSE ITS HARDWARE ISSUE.. ( even if software damage is done allready!! here in greece everyone sells them for like 250-300 euros!! Glad EXPANSYS did accept mine back for an exchange with gs2 even after the 12 day period!! -told them there is no fix and replacement units all over the world are same or even worse!!)

Can you post your experience in this thread i mentioned and others??

Maybe some people ( many in THIS thread followed your updates ) will then realize that ALL are in danger and start acting about it.. March till now its two months!! And you said it was PERFECTLY OK till now.. ANd from what i see in this thread once it starts its only going worse day to day!!

C'mon LG this is a very bad joke!!
[LG Optimus 2x] tdci100:
My third unit seems to behave on MCR Fr15 Vanilla (while it was completely going nuts on CM7). I haven't had a single BSOD on MCR in 2 weeks.

I've had two reboot in two weeks (asking for PIN at wake up). Each time when losing wifi connection.
[LG Optimus 2x] Domingez:
I have also experienced reboots, BSOD's, problems with charging (charging locks at 15% after manual reboot shows 100%. My phone is brand new (V10c Software) only two weeks old.

Now I'm trying to reach maximum possible uptime (2d2h24min) and collect as much evidence for support as I can. The worst part is the problems seems to be random, last crash was after 1d2h41s uptime, now I can easily go past 2d. No be honest that phone could be dream android phone for that price but buggy software or/and hardware are definitely ruin that, very sad don't you think?

Status updates for the LG Optimus 2X:

von LG Mobile Global, Montag, 16. Mai 2011 um 12:54

To all users of the LG Optimus 2X! As it is always important to keep your smarpthone updated, we're sharing with you that there will be a software update starting mid to end of May. This month's updates will include improved multimedia player support such as reinforced video format and music/video player functions as well as a more stabilized patch to prevent rebooting/freezing that are occurring for some users. LG is working hard to maximize user experience as always. Please check with your local LG service centers for when and how you can get these updates. Cheers!
[LG Optimus 2x] carmil:
Just to focus an important point:

I had same issue with stock rom: random reboots not depending on battery and/or applications

Going to CM7 the problem disappeared

So the answer is very simply: is not the phone in itself but the LG software ROM
[LG Optimus 2x] cartoonistas:
It's not that simple! To be sure that the problem is not there you must use the device (without manual raboot) at least a week. Then we talk again.
[LG Optimus 2x] Denonite:
Had run for four days on FR15 with only one reboot so last night thought I would try CM7 nightly 19. Loaded with no apps except google apps and was fine for around two hours, then BSOD and had to pull battery. Left it charging overnight, frozen in the morning. Got to work, lasted around half an hour before freeze and battery pull.

Recovered back to FR15 backup and been fine for four hours now. Looks like soft/firmware to me
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
I agree but more specifically for me is network connection (so software / baseband type thing).

For me I lose network connection (this happens alot in the office I am in but flicks in and out mostly), solidly no connection for about 15 mins, then BSOD, then restart phone and lost 10 - 20%.

Anyone else see no connection before their BSOD happens?

I see a post saying update by end of month. Fingers crossed all!!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] Denonite:
I don't see anything berore the BSOD as it's only happening when my phone is idle and the screen has powered off. It's only when I go to it and hit the power button and get nothing that I know it's happened
[LG Optimus 2x] charleybrown_de:
LG announces Update!

LG has announced an update that should fix our problem! This was just published on the Facebook page of LG Mobile Global:

Let's hope and see!
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
Thanks for the tips appreciated but nothing changed here on this field that's the weird thing...

The problem is it's random if you could pinpoint the event then you have the solution too.

Never had such a frustrating experience with a phone in 15 years :eek:

Well will give the so called update a chance, after that it's exit LG for me...
[LG Optimus 2x] cartoonistas:
There is a cold silence In this room....we are all expecting the miraculus patch to emerge...then...maybe panic again!!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] pulsation:
Hmm just a few speculations ;

LG doesn't mention any causes or solutions for our problem(s) , but only a "stabilized" patch (that would already be included in current updates if it needs to be "stabilized"?) with no details about what it does or how (let's hope it doesn't disable a security mechanism that prevents CPU damage in case of a short circuit for example).

A lot of people here have good skills in software, so I guess they know well about "stabilizing" software, and proved it through their excellent job at making things much better, such as Paul's MoDaCo FR15.

Unfortunately, if things are more stable (for me) using this rom, it is far for solving the problem completely.

So... if this is not a hardware problem, and LG people can solve it, it would really be a miracle, you're right :) Let's try to believe until reality gives us its verdict.
[LG Optimus 2x] nijoao:
I just posted this on the other thread: "[FAQ] O2X Shut off".

Which one should be the correct one, so I can delete from the other?
[LG Optimus 2x] petosak:
I don`t trust LG

I don`t trust LG that they find bug and release patch soon.

So I returned O2X back to my reseller today. Same problem.

Once again, and they have to give me my money back.

I`m looking forward to SGS2.

I hope, that will be better...
[LG Optimus 2x] m_vitaly:
My experience:

Stock rom, no root (waiting for CM7 final or RC).

First week or so was awesome, no reboots. Even thought that I'm not affected by this issue.

After that the reboots started to happen on a daily basis.

If I charge through USB and not standard charger. I was getting a few days before automatic reboot.

I hear a lot of people that factory reset delays the reboot, so I hope that it's software related.

Didn't try that, but what is you exerience with factory reset?

I've got the hang a few times, but the phone rebooted itself automatically after few minutes,

without the need for battery pull.

There was a post about some battery fix, could you point me to it? Thanks.

I'll finish with another question:

Is the promised update will fix the problem in basebsnd or in the rom itself (kernel?)? This is a major question to all who plan running custom roms.

And I really hope that it tool so many time to fix it, is because the problem happens after a eeek or so. And not because they are trying to fix a hardware problem by software patch.

Good luck to us all.
[LG Optimus 2x] pulsation:
That means they can easily reproduce the problem on any faulty device that has been running for more than one week - and they may have enough units to deploy and test fixes in their labs including the ones people returned back imho :) unless a baseband/rom fix update implies data/stat reset that cancels the problem for some time. Anyway, even in this case reseting bad data may "fix" it.
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
Just read here on the forum that lg aus has replied see link below

http://mobile.itnews.com.au/Article.aspx?CIID=257825&type=News
[LG Optimus 2x] jivemaster:
I'll believe it when it's installed on our phone and not crashing like a *****.
[LG Optimus 2x] ozivillan:
+1, if the aus phones are running V10d i'd like to know what they have done to iliminate the issues
[LG Optimus 2x] IceBlurr:
My experience, the optimus 2X is my first smartphone and my first android ;) Got it for a month now :

During the first weeks, i didn't have any reboots, nor freeze, was on stock rom, no root. The interface was just a little laggy.

The first May, i rooted it, installed CWM and the performance pack of modaco. Everything went fell for a few days.

Then, the first freeze, i had to remove the battery.

So, i decided to go on a custom rom, Blazing Dragon 1.5, and everything is ok !

I sincerely hope that the rebbots won't happen to me, and that LG will give a new firmware fastly.
[LG Optimus 2x] armisael2:
i ve solved my reboot and no voice in mid of a call with this mod http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076454
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
Ive had my first BSOD today and ive had the phone from day one.

I have used custom roms from the second week of getting it and not once had the problem from out the box.

I did a nandroid backup of the stock rom with root for safe keeping and I put that back on 2 days ago, and today I had that BSOD.

218 Baseband

V10b

Battery out and back in and it's been fine since
[LG Optimus 2x] j2innet:
i am early adopter of XDA 2. used this forum since 2005.

share my experience here, windows phone has no significant improvement, hardware renaming and waste of time.

and then i move to try on other platform, this is my second LG phone since 3 years ago. and again, it fail me again. welldone LG. last time i forget what model that is, but i still remember 5MB touch screen, software keep hanging and battery drain fast after few month.

now, it disappoint me again, 2X phone reboot, no firmware update, waste of time. 2 cpu so what?

lucky i haven't sell my iphone4. hi reader, dun waste your time.
[LG Optimus 2x] kotymus:
i had few automatic shut downs and few freezes when you need to pull out the battery
[LG Optimus 2x] waynefox:
Mobile internet seems to kill my battery. Switched it on yesterday (normally disable it and use wifi only). To download a media message.

Battery was 65%

When i got up this morning. The battery was dead
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
Cell standby compared to other abdroid phones is waaay too high, which contributes to battery drain. Normally keep my phone on wifi only at home and 2G less downloading when out. I think it helps
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
maybe bad reception in your area ?
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
Fraid not dude. Same for me. Check your phone. Cell standby will be close to 50% all the time. Other phones will be less than 10%, seen a friends SGS which showed 2%.

Something not right there imo
[LG Optimus 2x] rezaluchu:
What i dont like is during charging we cannot use the phone as what we are used to. The phone will be too hot and shut off. It‘s bad.
[LG Optimus 2x] migueli2:
Well...

This is not, at all, directed by LG or other Manufactury but, they have to solve it or give money back.

I got an HTC Desire S with same exactly problems !

- Loss of network signal

- Reboots (notice them cause phone were asking PIN)

- And some cases loss of total wifi signal for no reason.

So... Either way software or hardware, companies like LG or HTC should be able to fix it ASAP.

Some persons, like me, buy a phone to work with them and control part of their day/life.

This is inadmissible !

Apple solved a BIG problem with a SIMPLE thing.

Shame...
[LG Optimus 2x] umutozcano:
anybody got the update that LG was talking about?

the one that LG stated on their facebook page, should role out this week in EU if im correct

havent got wifi at the moment so i cant check.

LG says it should fix the reboots en freezes and other bugs?
[LG Optimus 2x] Dead Cell:
Yes can anyone please verify if the update that LG released fixed these issues? I want to buy one but am put off after discovering this thread :(

Please do let us know.

Many thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] zhehao:
I did have that problem but i just experienced a auto-reboot just now.

I left the phone as it is then suddenly the LCD was on and it rebooted.

Edit:

I was on Blazing ROM rooted
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
Still no update available in the Netherlands ridiculous to have to wait 2 months for a solution...
[LG Optimus 2x] deeejavu:
Hey,

I have quite serious problem. Everytime phone loads up, it im imedietly reboots (before it even reads the SD card to the end - so this is around 1-2 seconds). I can't do anything, not even open the app menu, because it reboots so fast. And it doesn't look like it's ending.. I already let it be just like it is and the phone restared as many times as it could + still rebooting. I also tried to put the battery of for 15min, not helping.

I need my phone to work as soon as possible!

Would hard reset help? Does that mean i would lost all my photos and contacts?

Please reply fast!
[LG Optimus 2x] keijers:
i've had that too, try to remove your sim and try if it boots. that did the trick for me!

if you hard reset, your contacts are gone
