I'm about to update software in hopes that it will reduce the shut downs but have a questions first. Will it reset all my data on the phone or not? I've heard different responses. Also, what else is really updated/improved with this update?
[LG Optimus 2x] mikeyd85:
Reset? Didn't on mine. Seems to be quite hit and miss.

Improved? Very little from what I can see. I now have a backup app which I've never even launched and it got rid of root at the time... It's a 200+mb download of apparently not a lot.

Fixed BSOD? Nope. Mine was dead this morning after charging all night. Luckily I woke up around the time the alarm should have been going off.
[LG Optimus 2x] etsero17:
I have lg charguer..... , if i use USB charguer its going to be better?
[LG Optimus 2x] pulsation:
It could help, using a USB charger that delivers less than 1A current lowered frequency of shutdowns for me at last.
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
Well Gentleman update 11

The replacement is stable no freezes and reboots up until know (I'll be careful here have to test a bit longer)

Got another problem to look at, bleeding from the LCD top left and right :mad: Disappointment is that

it's a refurbishment that is according LG a new one, man I'm going to hate my choice for LG and this phone more and more...

Still using the same charger and cable and battery and back cover the rest is refurbishment (according LG it's new) replaced...

My "new few weeks old" phone didn't have the top left and right bleeding but the rebooting problem...

Going to call again...
[LG Optimus 2x] Glutues Maximus:
I'm so sick of this phone. About to put it on the floor and step on it. How can LG even release a phone like this ?!

On the other hand, the phone gets really warm after a few minutes of using it so at least it can keep my hands warm when it's cold outside.

Time for another battery pull! YAY!
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
We of decent LG2x owners, salute you ...

... and anyone else who battery pulls their toasty LG2x daily. Your perseverance is beyond the call of any reasonable brand loyalty (or possibly, sanity). Weaker souls, like myself, would have run back to our old iPhones, Nokias, HTC etc. But, then again (being an XDA newbie), XDA developers have famed, far and wide, their said perseverance, self-abuse and ridiculous amount of anger and whimsy in the face of untenable gadget failure!

I hope I have not spoken out of turn.

:-)
[LG Optimus 2x] Glutues Maximus:
Well, the phone does have its good days (just like people). It is a good phone when it's working (feels pretty strange adding the "when it's working" lol ). And hey, I try to look on the bright side of things, the money I spent on this nonworking phone I would have spent at some bar otherwise. On the other hand, it is a pretty expensive "hand warmer" :)
[LG Optimus 2x] andeelym:
I am thinking if sending the backplate to a machine shop to fabricate a aluminum version of the backplate for better heat dissipation. Anyone any leads?
[LG Optimus 2x] naimmkassim:
Does it relate to standby cell battery usage? Cause my LG O2X use nearly 50% battery..but my DHD only use 6% ~ 10%..i notice its different and dont know why..
[LG Optimus 2x] sebsal:
To add to my problems with this phone, it got stuck in a boot loop this morning. I'm on the latest stock rom. Had to do a factory reset. :mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] lmerega:
Same here, my one is in LG now... waiting for a new one... (I hope)
[LG Optimus 2x] Neo121183:
I got the exact same thing this morning...strange..
[LG Optimus 2x] smoking185:
hello all. i have call today with LG benelux and they no alot that optimus 2x have big issue they working hard for big update. so soon i get more information about random reboots ore freeze phones they can not say that nexst update will be andriod 2.3 there is a chance they say. sorry for my bad english.
[LG Optimus 2x] Blizze:
Yep, I got the same problem with my 2x. 2 weeks ago I updated from v10a to v10b. I did not do a factory reset afterwards. A week later my phone got rebooted by itself and got stuck in a loop. I took the battery out en in but no way the phone was gonna boot. But after a factory reset the phone booted!!

After the reset the phone seemed more snappier too. I had the feeling after updating to v10b that the phone was lagging somewhat...

I have thought about why the phone just rebooted without a real cause.. Maybe because an open application like the browser, or a game is using 100% cpu and the thing just gets too hot and reboots... But why hanging then in a reboot loop??? Strange things are happening.

I only hope that the updates will fix this behavior.... I must say I had only one reboot in 3 weeks now but it does not make me happy... Wish I waited for the SGS 2 or Sensation... :-(.

So LG make us happy customers and prove yourself to be a good smartphone creating company instead of selling us ****ty unstable phones!
[LG Optimus 2x] Miracle1980:
Today, after almost 1 month and half i had my first ''freeze''. Phone was turned off and there was no way to boot. I removed the battery and then was ok. No root, zero uninstallation or update.
[LG Optimus 2x] kostasalfa:
My friend you are the best example for the people reporting “mine is totaly fine!!“ ..

i hope yours doesnt get any worse than this.. anyone else tried to contact lg about updates??
[LG Optimus 2x] smoking185:
for dutch people call not LG netherlands. call LG benelux. they give information. i get it soon
[LG Optimus 2x] Glutues Maximus:
To be honest, I would not trust the information they give. Seems like LG reps are talking out of their asses.

Might sound harsh but thats how I feel.
[LG Optimus 2x] cartoonistas:
I agree with you! I am from Greece and When i spoke with Customer Service i thought i was talking to the wall!!! Robotic Answers! :mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
You got the number??

And what should I say when I call them?
[LG Optimus 2x] KeePeeR26:
It's all bull****

It's all bull**** :mad: they told that they know the problem and that a update is already rolling out in Sweden from 2 weeks now and nothing did :mad: I think they don't know what the problem is:(

I'm whayting for CM 7 now and if that dont resolve the problem i will sell this f***ing pice of crap :mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] kostasalfa:
I always leave the charger pluged in!! Today i unpluged it to move it around and i heard a noise ( stock lg charger,very quiet house!!! ). Put it closer to my ear and yes it didnt stop!! Did lg drove me nuts or what?!

is this kinda normal???
[LG Optimus 2x] thatguychris:
Mine does this too is it a buzzing noise? I was told by a fellow member that this is normal and its to do with frequency changing. Hope this helps.
[LG Optimus 2x] umutozcano:
Went to sleep yesterday, put my 2x next to my pillow. I woke up this morning but my 2x didnt.

Maybe a silly idea, but as a temporary solution: what is someone makes an app that runs on the background en wakes op the phone now and then en let the screen turn on ? and maybe give a warning somehow if the phone freezes. Is this possible ?

this just popt into my mind.
[LG Optimus 2x] Vertigood:
No "D" update here (Sweden) yet. Checked last night.

As soon as I install certain apps my phone freezes and even reboots. Last time was when I installed a flashlightapp..it took just a couple of minutes and it rebooted.

But other stuff like keyboards seems to have no such effect on the phone.

Battery still sucks.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Hi.

This morning, the alarm went on (as usual) and I disconected the phone from the charger, but to my surprise, it has not updated the battery info! Have had to do a reboot in order to have it again at 100%!

This is a piece of crap! If CM7 doesn't solve all the issues, it will spend a good time at LG repair center!

Mike
[LG Optimus 2x] ozivillan:
That's going to be a problem. If the issues with this phone are not sorted it's going to be very difficult to sell this phone, me personally I would not try and sell this phone if it still had problems
[LG Optimus 2x] Pego71:
My dual is rootet, never had any problems...
[LG Optimus 2x] topanyel:
question

Do you know any O2X users who have no reboot/freeze problems at all?

I could imagine that there is percentage of users who have no any issues with their phone..

As a newbie I would assume if it had affected all 2X owners worldwide we would see a much longer list here and also the international response would be much bigger and LG would consider this issue more seriously.

What is your experience?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
I've got auto power off once when initially use the O2X charger (unable to powerup, had to pull battery). Since I've changed to N1's charger, I've no reboots or auto shutdown.

But personally, I don't think is the charger. Perhaps it is just coincidence.
[LG Optimus 2x] topanyel:
People who posted here said that sooner or later everyone experience the freezes and shutdowns, so I am curious if there was really noone who owns a 2x for 1-2 months and not encountered any single problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] KeePeeR26:
All the o2x and g2x have the same problem is all depending on how u use your phone and LG knows that but they didnd find the solution yet. Who is telling that have no problem is laying (and if was true they never see this thread) or they don't use the phone so much but the lags are there.
[LG Optimus 2x] thatguychris:
I had all the problems with my last o2x the reboots and freezes had that phone for 20 days and it was slooooow and laggy all over the place, took it back as I was in my 28 days and they replaced the handset for another brand new o2x and I have to say that this handset is so much better its fast not laggy at all and I have had no reboots or freezes in the week that I have owned it and speaking to the shop attendent he says they have only had one other returned and that was because it wouldn't find 3g signal and he said its their most popular phone. So it appears it doesn't affect every handset which is slightly worrying because surely its not software at fault?
[LG Optimus 2x] gaz31:
On my 2nd 2x got a replacement yesterday.Only had the replacement for 24 hours and had to pull the battery twice. According to the advisor I am the first person to have problems with the phone from there shop, not sure what to do now.
[LG Optimus 2x] bedevil99:
I think the best thing to do would be to get another replacement. I too had a faulty unit but the replacement is working like a charm for more than two weeks now. The only issue I have as higher than average battery drainage but that is definitely s/w related.
[LG Optimus 2x] gaz31:
They have offered me a replacement phone out of a choice of four, and one of them is a HTC Wildfire S the other 3 weren't much better lol.

Will just keep getting a replacement until one works by the looks of it.
[LG Optimus 2x] sebsal:
Wrong. My first phone had all these problems, my replacement doesn't have any so far
[LG Optimus 2x] Pego71:
Maybe I'm lucky with my dual, but I never had problems, also with the FR12 rom,the battery is very very good...
[LG Optimus 2x] cartoonistas:
Ok this is enough!! In this thread there are over 20 cases of deferent kind of problems, and all of them lead to one point. The instability of the device. In fact, the most certain is that we meet a very problematic device and I am afraid that LG will do nothing about it. I hope LG to prove me wrong but when Iphone 4 had this antenna problem, the company made a statement that was Apple’s fault and admit it. Where is a statement now? I also have problems with my device . Mostly the one that is most common around here, the one that device crashes when charged. I solved it by charging from Laptop. BUT…I can’t carry my laptop anywhere I go !!!!

So try to stop making guesses about what’s wrong with my device , because your device is wrong! And let’s try to solve one another’s problems, find solutions…because we are alone…:(
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Do you have a spare microUSB charger to try? Preferably with less than 700ma output. There's a few people who claim to have success with lower current adapters. The theory is, and it is only a theory, that LG2x when drawing the max current of about 980mA overheats and causes instability. Using a lower current adapter limits the current LG2x draws (though increases charging time) and improves the stability. Weird, but no harm trying if it cost you nothing.
[LG Optimus 2x] KeePeeR26:
Yap u definitely 100% right. All in here have problems but not all admitted that they buy a Fu###ing crappie phone, that's why they are in here :(
[LG Optimus 2x] cartoonistas:
Aha! You are perfectly correct! This is my next move to try...I have been lucky so far i guess because my laptop provides less "mA'' to the device!
[LG Optimus 2x] kostasalfa:
galaxy s2 !!!

This piece of crap just rebooted one more time.. Fell into a bootloop and i was just watching.. (last time i interupted the bootloop something went wrong and i had to hard reset it..data corruption)

Now i did NOTHING!! Waited for it to boot..(stock rom v10d not freezed anything etc!!) NOW THIS PIECE OF 500 EURO **** is stuck in system checking screen and wont boot at all!!!

Probably needs hard reset again!! For christ sake!! I am so sick and tired of this..

I dont care if lg gives us today gingerbread or even honeycomb or even android 4 and free battery of 5000mAh and whatever!! This is going for sale (lost my right to get my money back from expansys) to some poor guy -wont like that but i will let lg figure out the mess- and its over.

I suggest you ALL do the same.. Exchange them for something else or sell them..

Arent you all sick and tired of waiting ..?? FOR ****ING WHAT?? WE GOT NO OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM LG WHAT SO EVER !! NO ETA NOT EVEN A P R O P E R

aknowelegement of the problem..

Some people are having 1 -2 reboots per weeks. I could live with this.. Others like me have like 30-50.. No, this is just funny..

We went all for having first the first DUAL CORE phone that should amaze us..!! DID IT?? I dont think so.. I am not even a great fan of tegra anymore..why?? to play 3-4 games that ALSO co-exist with non-tegra versions?? And not being able to play some hd gameloft titles?? (which i prefer!!)

Go get GALAXY S2.. If you look at global reviews from like thousands sites it amazed them all!! I had my doubts with scores in quadrant of 1800 in MWC in Barcelona but look at it now! Stock it scores 3400!! Much more than our crapy phones..

Dont flame me, i ve just had enough with this as some might of you too.. I wont post nothing more in this thread and i really wish everyone that wants (or has no other choise!) to keep his 02x to finally have sometime soon the solution.

Bye bye..02x, cant say it was fun or anything though..
[LG Optimus 2x] etsero17:
Well man, with USB charger the phone works better. You know if it's improtant external SD?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Can't say much about SD card as I only use it to store music files and that works fine for me. Generally, I think don't get the phone too hot by running the processor/screen for long periods. Hopefully, LG can deliver us a good firmware/remedy soon to let us use the LG2x without all these workarounds.
[LG Optimus 2x] pulsation:
Just tried to remove the external SD from my phone this morning, to see if things could work better. Two shutdowns today. So, (in my case) it did not help.
[LG Optimus 2x] etsero17:
you know when LG going to deliver this firmware/remedy? if I changue de phone for other like it, the phone going to work better?

I have the same problems you said, if the phone too hot by running it's shut off

Thanks :D
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Frankly, with their lack of clear communication at this point, I think even LG does not have a strong idea when they can deliver a stable working platform.

My own contingency, if my LG2x fails badly on me, is to revert back to my previous Nokia N97 mini for a few weeks or months while checking on this forum for update/remedy reports. Letting the dust settle before switching back to the then updated and stable LG2x.
[LG Optimus 2x] arielext:
I'm outta here; going to sell my O2X (hopefully i can enjoy a day of cm7 on this one before it enjoys it's new owner); I just don't want to spend this amount of time on a phone atm; so i'm putting it up for sale and taking the loss of money as a lesson learnt; I won't be buying an LG device any time soon.

Probably going for a new nightmare but a new adventure as well as I just ordered the sgs2
[LG Optimus 2x] luik:
No issue on mine.

Got mine 3 days ago, upgraded it immediately to latest firmware (v10b), used it a lot and had not a single reboot or freeze.

I have no sd card.

I am using the stock charger.

It is rooted to uninstall the weather/clock widget which was consuming a lot of cpu although i did‘nt use it.

Battery consumption is pretty high also in standby mode.

My feeling after reading all these posts is that people having big stability issues have a faulty hardware and should return it.

It‘s a great phone when it works as expected :)
[LG Optimus 2x] viluve:
I'm going to get o2x from a shop, and want to make sure I get one without the reboot problem (I had one before with no issues, it got stolen :-( ).

So for those with auto-reboot/restart problem,

how long did it take before the phone starts to freeze/reboot? ie. is it as soon as you plugged in the wall charger? after a few hours? etc.

Is there anyway to consistently reproduce the problem , so that I can replace it right away while in the shop.

thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] Mediax:
Same

got mine 2 days ago upgraded to v10b immediately no SDCARD

Not rooted (not really necessary at the moment)

F-Secure not activated

No freeze

No reboot

It lags sometimes (not so dramatic)

The wifi stop sometimes on long standby (probably juice defender stop it)

The battery drain normally (as my old droid phone)

It works as expected

10 friends of mine have the same phone (most of them get it today)

This thread makes us really scare about that smartphone (order 1 month ago "grouping order") but finally everything working fine:)
[LG Optimus 2x] cartoonistas:
Ok i tried yesterday to charge my 2x from my girlfriend's Motorola flipout charger.It's an eco wall charger that would do the experiment. It Worked!

I am not suggesting that this will solve everyone's problem here but at least ...try that! I am suspecting that wall chargers that shipped with the phone are faulty. As you know many chargers are built in general by third companies.Many of them from 2 or three different factories ,that's why there are people here that don't complain about reboots.

So people try to do that and let's see the results
[LG Optimus 2x] andeelym:
For the first time in my life with O2X, it hasn't shutdown on me for the past 3 days. Touch wood!

Anyway, this is what I did, in addition to the freezing of apps like Car Home and F-secure, I also froze SNS and weather and clock.

But I think the thing I did that stopped it from overheating was to underclock using SetCPU to around 816MHz. I survived a day with 912MHz.

I am using Modaco ROM now so I couldn't do anything with PimpMyCPU but I am actually thinking of undervolting the device for every speedstep. Not sure if that will work.
[LG Optimus 2x] geistio:
Exactly the same here...

However, I did root the phone and removed some LG bloatware.
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
SetCPU sounds like a a good workaround to prevent CPU overheating at high clock rates. Though, on my Witstech Android pad, it sometimes can have the "screen black but everything else works" issue when I set SetCPU too low, usually sub-500Mhz ranges.
[LG Optimus 2x] kchakkar:
Just got mine today - brand new. I am using a ZTE charger and so far after 1 hour of use- no freezing/reboots. I am using a Sandisk 6GB class 4 sd card. Installed Dungeon Defenders via wifi took 30minutes and no freezing/cut-offs etc.

My firmware is 10b. Also on my serial it says MHR*****3301(1.1)BL

Is the 1.1 of any significance? i.e have I got a new revision 1.1, or have everyone got this?

Mine does get warm at the bottom with I suppose is expected on Dual core's. Will test some more over the next week and decide to keep it or get an Samsung G2.
[LG Optimus 2x] 1695:
Don't get your hopes to high, took 3 weeks for mine to have its first reboot...
[LG Optimus 2x] maldinibm:
Each user of this forum, has sent an e-mail or something like to LG to complain about the problem?

I think not, because otherwise if they would have made ​​a statement.

Complaining here is not much. It is best know LG
[LG Optimus 2x] Vertigood:
68 hours of uptime. 1 charge, normal usage. These freezes are so ****ing random. I'm using my phone like i have done before when it froze as well.

But I can't install certain apps, the freezes comes just short after.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mediax:
Next time i shut my mouth up... my phone shutdown couple hours ago !
[LG Optimus 2x] J!tH:
Good Idea! everone start "spamming" LG:

LG UK support

LG DK support

LG GER support

LG US support

And so on..... and so on...
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
Ok update 12:

The phone replacement (via VIP service) is still working smooth no reboots and freezes and far better temperature readings...

So the LCD top bleeding is hardly noticeable only during video and then it has not to be full screen.

Uptime hours now 160 +

To recap:

- Two O2X purchased on the same day

- One without problems running now 7 weeks

- One with reboot problems (wall charger) and freezes, spontaneous reboots.

Is replaced by new one from LG VIP service and running without problems so far (still monitoring but generates less heat)

Ok till the next update hope it stays this way :eek:
[LG Optimus 2x] Wwax:
My battery is down to 20% and yes, it freezed again, waiting for a call, if i don't get punani tonight i WILL **** some one over at GL.

Can't charge it for i know it will freeze in ten minutes.

Can't carge it unless it's switched off but hey, THIS IS NORMAL ACCORDING TO LG!

This is being handled sooo wrong by LG.

Raelly, surley... For **** SAKE!

Can´t get a new one and won't sell it (because i'm not an asshole).

I have never bought an electronics devise who gave me this most anguishe as this.

Tried to charge it thru PC-USB just to be nice, two freezez in 20 minutes.

Sorry for the ****ty english but really angry right now....
[LG Optimus 2x] smokie700:
Only thing that sucks is trying to contact US support but cant send them a message because it doesn't list the P990 in the phone section. Anyone know if Lg has a international number I can call since I'm sitting here in Afghanistan and cant call 1-800 numbers
[LG Optimus 2x] hei6185:
Same problem

Same problem. My O2x suddenly shut off three days after I had bought it.:(
[LG Optimus 2x] andeelym:
Back to 912MHz for testing, its been another 2 days now and going fine. Not a single reboot/shutdown/BSOD. I strongly recommend folks trying it out @ 912 MHz.

Just that the camera app refuses to take pictures or change to camcorder mode just now for a while.

Will be flashing into another kernel that allows changing the voltage to try undervolting.
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Hopefully, and perhaps, most of the problems are related to running an overheating high-drain device with a busted battery calibration. With all the rebooting/freezes messing up the battery's calibration algorithm. That may explain why most of the problem-free users have it so good until a couple of reboots/freezes throws the phone into tantrum. We are like free alpha testing for LG :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] cartoonistas:
You are so true mate! I agree 100%

We are the Beta testers for Optimus 2x II
[LG Optimus 2x] andeelym:
Actually its for Nvidia really, after all this is their first foray into the mobile world. Motorola and LG picked it up and here we are, brave souls to try where no others have tried before. Being pioneer has its benefits, as well as... you know... glitches...
