does it reboot - T-Mobile LG G2x

the o2x with lg's own software reboots quite often and the g2x is basicly the same phone; so our main question is: how is the software acting? Does it auto reboot, does it black screen or is it worth of the hardware? share here
in case something went wrong please add the following:
- baseband (version as printed in the screen)
- using USB debugging (yes/no)
- rooted (yes/no)
- stock charger (if not specify output v and a)
- total uptime (rounded up in days/hours)

I've had it for a few days and it haven't rebooted once.
baseband: M6600A-SCAUTNZ-2.0.9720T 1 [MAR 27 2011 10:00:00]MP:TRULGE_08.09.02R_MDM
yes debugging is active
not rooted
stock charger
8hrs and 36 mins of moderate to heavy use.
It did get extremely hot while charging it with the Nexus One car dock charger. Had to pull the battery and let it cool off.

This too scared the crap outta me when I read the o2x had this issue but I've had mine for over 24hrs heavy use and I can honestly say wow
No lag
No reboot
No problems
BTW all stock
Waiting for a good g2x rom

I've had mine since the 15th. It'a a complete beast of a phone. My Nexus S went on Craigslist within an hour of playing with the G2x. If there's anything specific you want to know, any benchmarks or comparisons, just ask and I'd be more then happy to share...

What is the G2x like as a phone. Such as call quality, clarity of call, volume in head set and also volume in speaker phone. also GPS. Any and all info or help you can give is most appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

The G2X in the T-Mobile store i work in has had no problems at all. No reboots or lock ups. Pretty much no issues. Plan on getting this phone on the 20th.

Reboots!

So I've had the phone since 4pm yesterday. I use uptime widget on my phones for kicks and to check for stability issues so I installed it right after I got it.
The phone was up for 7 hours until around 11pm when I rebooted it myself (to fix a unknown my phone number problem). It came up fine. 30 mins later it rebooted itself which i didn't think much of since I thought it was invoked by a SIM update. Since after the 2nd reboot it correctly showed my phone # in Status and my Messaging app, etc.
All is well, on the charger overnight, wake up this morning and use it everything is fine. At almost exactly 8:30AM while sitting idle/screen off it reboots again?!
Not sure if this is due to the tons of apps I have on or was again a network related reboot. I know in the past when I had GSM phones, the carrier can definitely initiate a reboot due to a SIM update. Having it happen at exactly 8:30AM seems bizarre. It's super fast and no lag or crashes otherwise.
I'm going to use it more today and keep an eye on it but just FYI. Anybody with it experiencing anything similar?
Oh Noes!!!

Could be because of me. I had Wifi Calling on both times and I had changed the network mode from the Auto default to WCDMA only. I'll get to the bottom of this, I'm sure
Check out this review of the GSlate by PC Mag. One of the cons is "occasionally reboots." I think LG has some 'splaining to do. This is their second device (third if you separate O2X from G2X) to suffer the problem.
Pros
First 4G tablet. Powerful Tegra 2 processor. Excellent HD screen, with HD output capability. Shoots and plays 3D footage (glasses included). Affordably-priced (after rebate) for 32GB capacity. Generally intuitive user interface. Dual-facing cameras. Video chat.
Cons
Default Honeycomb home screen feels cluttered. Flash 10.2 beta is buggy. Strange, off-center orientation for front-facing camera. Occasionally reboots, unprovoked, when idle. Android Market needs more Honeycomb apps.​
Strange how LG could be causing this on both devices since they are both stock Android! My Moto XOOM with Honeycomb has it's issues as well because it's an early OS but having occassional reboots on Froyo 2.2.2 is not acceptable.
I'm hoping it's related to an app or something. Once more people get the phone we should be able to see if it's an isolated or widespread problem.
Its definitely not the LG's custom UI that is causing random reboots. I really hope its not the hardware!
Update coming soon hopefully?
http://translate.google.com/transla...alligevel-problemer-med-optimus-2x,lid.15324/
That's the 2X right? Doubt the same update will apply to us but here's hoping. Anybody else with a G2X having this? It could just have been me and the phone being provisioned. I've had it for less than 24 hours.
Lets not jump to conclusions just yet.. My phones have rebooted due to my doings, lets see if others have the issue first before blaming the issue on this phone too.
Just received my G2X today and have experienced the random reboot thing twice in about 3 hours.
Will keep an eye on it today and report back later.

New customer or existing? I know by saying I'm jinxing myself but it's been 7 hours so far without a reboot.
Were you on Wifi when it happened? Were you using Wifi calling? Let's start putting together a picture.

Don't worry me like this! My phone is arriving tomorrow! Also when you guys got your phones did you plug it in and let it fully charge before playing with it? I know it would be hard not to just turn it on...
Just rebooted again while I was walking the dog and listening to a podcast so first time while I was using it. I think it might have to do with GPS use. The CNN app I installed last night uses it a ton and I think it causes the issue.
Anybody else having this using CNN or another GPS heavy app.
I've turned off GPS for now. Before this reboot it had been up for 10h

For whatever reason turning off GPS has made the phone even faster. Maybe there's a bug or memory leak related to GPS? Here's hoping we don't get any more reboots.

Ditto, Had a g2x and traded it (had no issues except for minimal screen bleed. I still have another one but it's at LG for repair rma due to excessive screen bleeding) Really am loving the sensation. The G2X is faster for sure, but we shall see which is faster once we get S-off and root and a vanilla android rom Once I get my G2X back from LG I think I will switch between the 2 for a few days then the g2x will probably become my business line phone. I'm on flex pay and here is the strange thing.. with my g2x it let me forward my VM to google voice, with the sensation it doesnt. I read that flex pay customers are barred from using conditional forwarding so not sure how it worked on my g2x and not on my sensation.. smh

If you happen to get that weird black box on the lock screen, place your finger where the circle would normally be and flick up. It'll unlock the phone without a battery pull (don't know if you saw my topic on that on moco).

No i did not, thanks though. Ill remember that.. loving it so far ....
I am on my third Sensation and so far this one has been quite good. I have a G2x which I really like as well and also a Vibrant (that I thought I would always keep) and if the Sensation continues to perform flawlessly I will sell my Vibrant. There is just something about the Sensation, I really do not know what it is, but even though the G2x is faster at this point and seems smoother to me, I just keep picking up the Sensation. I hope that s off comes very quickly so we can see what this phone is really like!!!!!!!!!!!
+1
Please include me in the list..
I dont have G2X, BUT I use to have O2X which I think is similar phone, with some dimension different and signal processes only. Anyway, I ditch my O2X due to its poor design body, and its crap software UI..I'm not deny, O2X is faster compare to sensation, but I could not stand it when I hold in my hand and play with its UI...Grrrrrrr!!!!!!
+1 also dont like its bleed display!!
Love sensation!!
Hey smash, I remember you from the Vibrant forum so welcome to The new Sensation

I'm going to jump on this thread instead of making a new one... Just returned a family member's G2x for it being the most buggy production phone I have ever seen, shame lg.
Anyway, looking at the sensation as a replacement, anything a huge issue? The g2x had such a software rebooting problem it was absolutely unusable. Just want to make sure software and hardware are working fine for most people...

Well since both the G2x and the Optimus 2X suffer from reboots, we can only assume that it is hardware and not software. The LCD panel is generally crap, the phone randomly freezes for multiple seconds...
And its sad that an overclocked Nook Color gets better benches than our G2x's.
My Sensation should be here today (Tuesday) or Wednesday at the latest... We'll see how it performs... You know there is something wrong with a high end phone when you call T-Mobile retention and tell them your phone is rebooting and they say it must be a G2x and immediately ask what other model you would like to replace it with...

Ok, not wanting you to suffer any more than necessary....I reached over and grabbed my Sensation off the nightstand. I do have both. After reading all the hype, again, about the Sensation, I put my sim back in...fired that baby up.
I started reading comparisons about how great the qHD screen is. Processing speed....how you can play, almost every game. How internet was great...blazing speed, etc...
Ok....I really need to give this another shot...after all, I paid for it.
So...turned it on....No Wifi....reboot...No Wifi and no bars...hmmm...checking to make sure I removed the cone of silence....switched over to the LG....no wifi...duh...its off...but...2 bars 4g. Ok..maybe I'm holding it wrong...you know..Death Grip...so I grab a pencial and hold the the LG with just a pencil...4g 2 bars....Sensation....0 bars.
I'm sorry...how can I run a comparison when I can't get reception where I need it to get reception?
Ohhh...the sun just came out...so I ran over to the window and compared the screens in the sun....they're right...the Sensation is more viewable in direct sunlight....guess what I saw....nothing...0bars..no reception. Took my LG, made a half turn to my left...and read up in the Sensation forum about how great this phone is.
Test aborted....0 bars...back to the night stand. Its holding down my past due bills....

hey all,
I have a Optimus 2X the AWS 1700 version which was released here in Canada on Wind Mobile and it suffers absolutely none if the issues which I have experienced with my G2X...one thing different I have seen while comparing the version info is my baseband version is dated Jun-05-2011 where as all the g2x's ive been through have a baseband date of March-27-2011
this phone is a beast when it works the way it should!

Don't shoot the messenger!*!*!

Ok guys so I might not seem "reputable" Ive always been more of an observer of the forums..instead of putting my 2cents in about everything..yes I work for a T-Mobile authorized dealer for the past 3yrs..4yrs @ Verizon b4 this.. every so often LG/Samsung/Nokia reps stop in.. today it was LG who I haven't seen since the g2x launch.. obviously I asked questions.. he told me that the g2x was written w/code for 2.3 to be updated soon after release.. the problem was the code was written wrong..and thats why the phone reboots..because it thinks theres an update so it shuts down..and it took an extremely long time to find where the problem was and write proper code.. they didn't want to take the chance of releasing an update without being 100% sure, obviously consumers wouldn't be happy with a faulty update..he continued to say it is absolutely a software issue..he also said the update will be in two parts.. the 1st is a software patch to fix the reboot issue and the 2nd is gingerbread. He took down my email address so he can send me the update when he gets it next week..so that way reps can test it out and start pushing it in stores.. in my opinion I don't see the update coming in the next few weeks to customers if an LG reps g2x isn't even updated yet..and is barely starting to roll out for reps to test out.. sorry for the long post..and once again..DONT SHOOT THE MESSENGER! LOL

Just putting this out there...I talked to the lawyer from the class action lawsuit. Its very legit. With that hitting Tmobile/LG if there ever was a real update(and I don't think there was) I bet it is now going to be even slower getting to us.

I am rep for technical care and I am currently testing the 2.3 rom on my personal G2X. From what I can tell so far, it is pretty much in the same state + some stability improvements that came with the leaked rom a couple months ago.
Hopefully this update won't mess up with my non-reboot G2x.
Seems like baseband patch first and OS the next.

actually this makes sense.
1) people who have said their phones said there was an update after phone rebooted .. this has been mentioned several times so that part makes sense.
2) you are the second person from a different source today to mention an update for next week.
obviously its probably just getting to tmobile next week but at least thats something.
Let us know how it goes. if you dont see an internal update by next week than well know thats its probably not trust worthy. but what he said makes sense regarding the update stuff.
and hopefully the gb update fixes gps and wifi
thanks man at least its something.

I can say my battery life appears to be better, no random reboots yet.
I've also previously experienced what I call hibernate which is where I have to press the power key 12 times to unlock the screen. Seems to run a bit smoother as well.
Problems so far are the camera sucks now. When the screen goes to standby after I load a webpage and I unlock the screen, it reverts to the previous page.
I have had a few occasions where I have had to click a link like 10 times to get data to load the page. That all I've notices so far within the 24 hours I've been running the update.

Keep in mind this is a trial update to see what bugs we find, still in testing. Should be fixed by the time the actual update rolls out. I hope at least.

thank you LG for gingerbread works great!!!

I updated..must restore stock recovery and unroot...wow everything works great...lets talk about positive changes this update has done to our beloved g2x's.
Plugging in a USB cable the mass storage notification now pops up so fast it startles me.
Finally a positive thread.. My phones doing good as well.. No update will be bugless..
Everything I use works great. But there are some tiny things...... but its the best gingerbread build I've ever run on the g2x that's for sure.

Could someone answer these two questions please?
1. How's the battery life after the upgrade?
2. Can it be rooted? Is everything such as bluetooth ADP working fine?

On my 3rd G2x and it has been solid cept for a few things, such as GPS taking up to 20 minutes to lock, apps being unable to be moved to SD-card, whenever adding an app or widget to the homescreen would lock up the phone for a bit and would take up to 5 minutes to pull up a list, eating through a battery down to 40% after a full charge within 3 hours of light use.
Granted I fixed almost all those issues by rooting it and applying fixes I discovered through this wonderful forum. From the GPS fix (it locked within about 20sec-3minutes, much better than before) and the pre-opt-dex patch that was put up here which totally helped when adding apps/widgets to the homescreen(3-10 seconds compared to the 5 minutes). To some battery monitoring apps and charging techniques that helped me get the best out of my battery, which saw a full charge last about 9 hours before it squealed to be plugged back in.
Now with Gingerbread finally installed the GPS lock is virtually instant, the apps/widgets are likewise, almost instant. The battery seems to be a bit better. I took it off the charger at 4pm and its still at 25% at this time (12:49am).
As odd as it seems, I look back and am thankful for the buggy G2X. While I really liked my Nexus One, I never really delved into the community much. It was a solid phone and never had any problem, save for the complete lack of space to put apps on it. The buggy G2x lead me to this wonderful forum which was full of people with helpful opinions and great tips. Through the assistance of everyone here I learned a lot more about the Android system and about phones in general. Coming from a big PC background (I like building and fixing them) I liked that the Android OS provided me with similar work around that I did when working on PC's.
So, while the initial experience with the phone was nightmarish, in retrospect I really learned something, it's good to know that there is a group of people dedicated to making sure we get the best out of our phones and freeing us from the shackles of the providers limitations on the phones (rooting rocks!!)
A note to T-Mobile and LG. Why did you rush this phone?!?! I would have gladly waited till July for a fully functional phone. Without Gingerbread this is one of the most powerful phones in the universe, with Gingerbread it can now take advantage of that power. It's not like the competition was putting out anything much better than the MyTouch4g at that time, yes the Atrix, but that was a buggy nightmare too. So what if the Sensation beat this to market, this has stock android, an arguably better (supported at least) GPU, and is rootable. I would have waited. Look right now, for my criteriahttp://blogs.computerworld.com/16755/android_user_interface for a phone my options are currently the G2X, Nexus S and....can't really think of anything else... So seriously, coming from a Nexus One, the obvious choice is the G2X. I would think that a decent chunk of the people reading this would agree.
same here
I was one of the lucky ones to have a G2x without issues
stock phone not rooted, update went thru without problems and the phone feels snappier; I do miss the original LG camera app though
It's good to hear everyone is happy with their phone...now I won't have to read about everyone jumping ship to the sensation.

try doing a factory reset.
What's the process to get the Gingerbread? Is everyone updating through LG update then what are you flashing?

uhhhh try restarting the phone first and see if that fixes it... otherwise you are going to have to throw CWM on there and restore to stock and try doing the update again OR wait until there is a flashable bootloader posted up which is likely to be soon...
You guys seem giddy as school girls. I'm going to have to try this rom today.

And was it my imagination, or is the universally-despised "battery fully charged" pop-up gone now? (I charge overnight while I'm sleeping, so it could well be that I dismissed it in my sleep.)
Updated mine as i couldn't resist anymore. Only thing now is getting root access again.
I tried Super 1 Click Root 1.9.5 but no go. Has anyone succeeded in getting root after updating to 2.3.3? Please share your root info.
Thanks in advance.

It's still there, :-( I guess I must have hit the dismiss button in my sleep yesterday morning when the alarm went off. I woke up before the alarm sounded this morning, and there was the pop-up, same as always. Oh, well...
