So Ive had my G2x for a few hours now.
once logged in Google a few apps and my wifi settings showed up on my phone. other than no landscape mode and some missing apps from my N1 (including amazon apps) all seemed fine.
so i rooted and I used Titanium backup pro to restore apps + data while un selecting any system apps.
since then I haven't been able to turn on WIFI and the home button doesn't work at all.
short of doing a factory wipe I am not sure what to do. its getting frustrating.
any help is greatly appreciated
I had the same problems. I just did a factory wipe and did not restore data from titanium. I was on CM7 by the way and I think some settings from Gingerbread do not gel well with froyo.
I also came from CM7, I had a feeling data would be the issue. oh well I guess i should start all over haha.
are you still using the stock recovery? Im not sure how to factory wipe on this phone
I guess the menu that says factory data reset would do it haha.
If you don't have a custom bootloader installed, hold volume down and power button while you boot up. That will reset it.
Thanks, that would have been my next try. I believe that's the same combo for most Androids Ive used.
already wiped from the settings menu. all seems like it was when i picked it up, including the lack of home screen landscape even though the setting is checked in menu. not a huge deal.
I cant wait for a stable CM rom

A few months ago a friend, who's very familiar with flashing G1's helped me flash mine to the Cyanogen 5.0.7.05 mod. After making a phone call today I now have no phone or data service. On top of that, when I go into the storage section there is no option to reset the phone. How do I reset the phone with this mod?

1) Turn the phone off.
2) Turn it on by holding Home + Power
3) You should get into a recovery console. Depends on which your friend decided to flash, but to wipe either scroll down to wipe or hit "ALT + W"
- It'll ask you to confirm by hitting the Home key.

Thanks I did that a few hours ago when my friend told me, but its not fully reseting the phone. After I come back to the screen for the initial login I still don't have phone/data signal, and the background pic I put up is still on there, so its not doing a full data erase. Pretty weird.

Try reflashing the ROM or upgrading to a newer one and then wiping.
Another thing you may want to try is completely clean off your SD card with the exception of the files you are going to flash. THEN try to flash/wipe.
Had my G tablet for a month now and I've rooted it a couple of times (to tnt lite,) but I've since resorted to the latest update from the mfg. Its fast enough and I can get most of the aps I'm intersted in with the stock cfg.
Problem is, it occasionally hangs, usually in the middle of a web surfing session. The hang is complete, meaning I can't even shut down. the only remedy I've found is to set the tablet aside and wait till the battery runs down. Then I charge it, boot up, and everything's back to normal again.
Has anyone else seen this happen and is there a way to prevent/cure it?
thanks.

First off you say you rooted a couple of TIMES? Do you mean flashed a couple of times? Regardless if it locks up again then hold the power button till it powers off. Then you should be able to reboot.
thanks, but...
when I say its locked up I mean locked up. The on/off button is inoperative. I've held it for varying lengths of time, up to 15 seconds and nothing happens.
When I said that I had rooted it several times I mean that I've taken it from stock to tnt lite twice. Its now unrooted and stock again and working fine. (till the next time it locks up, that is-)
but thanks for replying

Try doing a factory reset as well as wiping the internal memory. There are several ways to do this, but only one way on stock. I won't ask you to go back to using Clockword Mod if you no longer have it on there so I'll go through the stock way first, and then the CWM way in case you have it installed.
Prep: Copy out anything you figure you need from there. I don't recommend backing up because if you back up a corrupt or faulty app then you're going to restore it and your problems with it.
So copy your stuff off that you don't have otherwise, maybe downloaded wallpapers or whatever. Best method is just to copy them right to your PC I'd say. Do this from both internal storage and the SD if you have that installed as I recommend you wipe that as well.
Stock:
Go into settings to security and do a factory reset. After the factory reset, don't bother setting up, go back into the settings and to storage and wipe the SD card if you have one installed. You'll have to unmount it first I think. After that, wipe your internal user storage. This is going to 1. reset the tablet's OS and system software/settings to factory defaults and 2. remove any gunk that may have gotten on there and is messing things up. Since Apps generally don't overwrite their settings on purpose, I recommend wiping them and putting them back over clearing data/clearing cache for each app. You start over with more or less a clean slate this way.
Clockwork Mod:
Go into CWM and wipe your data as well as the cache. Wipe Dalvik as well, for good measure. When the tablet starts back up, go to storage and wipe the SD as well as the internal storage, again, just for good measure.
Once you're all done, power the tablet off and then on again and do your thing.
If the tablet STILL messes up after a few days then it could mean that there's some hardware at fault. My tablet has never frozen like that before to the extreme where I'd have to sit and wait for it to die...and afaik that's def. not something that should occur often. I have seen other members report it, but they've usually done some 'heavy' tweaking like repartitioned their internal storage and other things like that.
People may recommend that you re-partition, etc. but I'd just try to exchange it and try my luck at another unit before getting into all of that UNLESS you have indeed partitioned or altered the internal storage manually before this started happening - in which case you may have it partitioned incorrectly and should def. try getting it back to the default using CWM, HOWEVER, if you did not do this and all you really did was install TnT lite then I'd do the exchange.
Good Luck.
thanks
Your advice and your instructions on how to address this problem are VERY helpful. Thanks.

OK so I downloaded & installed the latest OTA update (RV23RC03; 1.057) with the power mode choices, and it has completely destroyed my touch screen response! I previously had ZERO problem with this- every key press registered on both the original ROM and the 1st update. Since the latest update, everything takes 2 or 3 presses, sometimes VERY firmly, many times still without registering. This totally sux
Is anyone else having this issue? I should note that I do have a matte screen protector on; this previously caused NO problems.
Is there an easy reasonably safe way to revert back to the 1st update (RV07RC06; 1.029)? A link and/or instructions appreciated. Thanks.
Acer, are you out there? This exact issue occurred with my A510 on its 1st update, after which it became nearly unusable for me. Since it was < 30 days I was able to return it. No such luck this time. Why are these updates doing this? It's driving me nuts!
No issues with touch on update. It seems to be running better actually.
Try to completely reset thru recovery with wipe data maybe.
More specific instructions

That's so amazing. I went from no problem at all, to I can hardly use this any more; only thing that changed was the update.
Can you please be specific about how to reset through recovery. (Step-by-step if possible) and how to wipe data.
Thanks.
You can reset data thru settings/privacy but you will lose everything and start fresh.
I'll check on the other method later on for you.
Also turn up touch sensitivity in settings/display if you haven't...
Edit - it appears that the stock recovery doesnt have those options.
You can still reset by inside ICS like above, or...
Factory Reset:
WARNING: reset will start immediately
Volume button (one dot) and Power button, once buzzes release power button and then toggle the rotation switch on and off a few times
Yes of course, I have set screen sensitivity to high. I think I'd rather go back to 1st update, rather than wipe everything (I do have a backup but it's still a hassle). I can't believe no one else is having this problem.
Any idea how to revert to last update?
Someone in a german android forum mentioned that it help on his device after the update to set the sensitivity to the lowest setting and then back to middle or high.
I tried playing with sensitivity settings, turning on/off,resetting and no luck.
I actually found the ROM from before the update on this website and flashed it as update.zip with vol +power. It worked, I now have 1.029 back and touch screen works perfectly. I'm sorry to lose power management but i think I'll stay where I am . Don't ask me about a Jellybean update; I'll want it but after this I'll be afraid to try it. If anyone has an explanation for this i'd love to hear it.
Hi,
i have/was having problems with tablet not waking up from sleep (lock) and also had a first known reboot out of the blue yesterday.
So, i first tried with cold boot, but didn't help.
Now i have factory reset the tablet, but the weird thing is that my boot animation is same as before, also the apk for google search > google now (which i was tried weeks ago) is still present. I had an impression that the factory reset - well, resets the tablet. But can someone please explain what does it actually, specially i need an answer on why the boot animation didn't go back to stock etc...
Why do a factory reset if thing are not like from factory
PS: still testing if it solved tablet wake up problems. Anyone figured out what is the cause and how to solve it?
how did you do the factory reset?
First time inside the cold boot menu (vold-down+power etc..), second time inside the OS (settings etc...)
So, it happened today again - couldn't wake the device from sleep. I did restore all my apps with titanium backup, so i still can't say what causes this, but i am very sad right now
Is there any way to look at some logs or something and to identify what makes tablet to not wake up from the sleep.
Next time I will try plugging it AC if it helps, but i doubt my problem is as described in some other thread.
Also, I would still like some answer on why the factory reset doesn't change the boot animation. I also noticed Elixir2 system widget app was still installed after the reset. Very strange. I can safely assume that build.prop was not overwritten, yes?
Thx
Anyone have a problem with there home button not working after taking the lollipop ota from Verizon. My m8 works flawlessly but my buddy says his home button doesn't work anymore on his m8. Just seeing if there was a solution to fix it. Thanks
No issues with home here. Might be a hardware failure with coincidental timing?
I booted his phone into stock recovery and then cleared the cache. Rebooted then it worked only for a bit then quit working again. U think I need to do a factory reset on it. Sounds like something is conflicting with the new update.
Hey, I just started having this problem. Phone was running fine for a whole month, then randomly the home button stops until I reboot. only stays good for about half a day. I factory reset and even redownloaded/flashed my ROM (Viper). No fix. Also uninstalled several apps that I had recently installed. No clue what's the freakin deal here. Recent apps button also stops working when HOME stops. Very frustrating.
Could be the digitizer going bad. The top of mine was acting similarly for a few days, then the top 1/2" or so completely stopped working. Had to send it in and get the screen replaced by HTC (for free).

Thank you. Unfortunately I tried that twice already. Didn't help. Thinking about doing a factory reset (instead of just wiping in Aroma) and not restoring my apps from Titanium Backup. Although I wonder what data stays behing after a wipe than can effect his. Or what app that I did restore changes the home button behaviour.
