I have tried a couple of different roms and all have had serious GPS issues. I have tried the GPS.config file fix but without any luck. Is this issue something that will be ironed out in time or is this a serious hardware issue with the g2x and warrant a return?

I would think with T-Mo still working on trying to get Gingerbread bugs fix would Gingerbread fix all the issues that people are having with the battery?
If you read in the thread about this issue, it seems that the problem has been determined to be a battery driver issue, not battery life. That being said, it seems that the devs are working on fixing it in CM7.

I have the sleep of death issue. Slow GPS lock up. Wifi freeze. Its annoying but I got my phone mailed to me and don't want to do the back and forth thing with T-Mobile if I don't have to. Is this a hardware problem and the phone needs to be returned? Or will this all get fixed with an update? I'm kinda guessing its hardware related cause some people have perfect working phones...
I also have a galaxy s 4g sitting next to me. If it was a little faster and didn't use that Samsung overlay I would just use that. Having a hard time deciding wish this g2x didn't have the issues.

LG is issuing an update to the O2x because of these issues. I would assume the update for us should fix the same issues.
That being said, I'm on my second replacement and so far it hasn't froze/rebooted in 1 day and 8 minutes.
I like the phone a lot. If they will fix the problems I would like to keep it. Its just funny that we all have the exact same hardware and yet only some of us have problems and they say it's software. Seems like had components to me...

At a store today, a sales rep that said she worked in the call tech center prior and she mentioned a time frame of about 2 months for a tmo update.

Just trying to get a consensus of those who got their device replaced recently if the new batches of G2x's are any better. My screen bleed isn't bad but the few other issues are causing big problems for me and I don't want to get a bad refurb. Thanks.

New batch seems to fix the screen bleed problems, but not the rebooting problem or bluetooth problems.
I have an MZ 601 (Asia/Europe Xoom 3G)
I've noticed that it SOD's (Sleep of Death) a lot.
This occurs on stock Rom 3.1
I've tried Tiamat, Launchpad Gemini.
None of the Custom Rom's fix this, and I have not yet been able to come up with steps to reproduce this error. At this Time it seems to be occurring randomly. When it does however it is very very annoying.
Sometimes I can fix it by holding the power button, the screen will suddenly turn on and ask me if Im sure that I want to power of the device.
Sometimes on that dialog if I hit cancel, the screen goes dark and it will appear that it is SOD again.
I know there are various reports on the forum of SODs happening and other people claiming that the Xoom is a GED device and hence does not have SOD issues.
But clearly looking at my device it is certainly prone to SOD issues.
What could I do to find the root cause of the problem?
Could it be a hardware issue? Or is it software?
Does anyone here have a definitive answer for this problem?
Install a stock kernel.

right on, And make sure you do not use an alternate launcher...
My Gtabs used to suffer from this a lot, some kernel where fixing the issue, and using only stock launcher where having the same effect...
As I mentioned in my post stock rom which has the stock kernel and stock launcher had SOD issues. Both 3.01 and 3.1.
At this time the launchpad Gemini 1.30 kernel reduces the occurrance of SOD a lot. As it happens a lot less now. But it still occurs.

I would suggest a factory reset if its still not resolved, take it to the service centre

Did you do a full wipe at first before flashing?

Its a known problem with the G2x. Some custom roms and kernels help a bit. But its the main reason I'm ditching this phone. Its a great phone for those who don't suffer with this issue.

Luckily I've never had this problem ever. Apparently from what I've read around here and few other forums are that their are faulty devices and it takes a few replacements to get a good handset.
Also, maybe getting recent new made device would negate those bugs. Mine was manufactured 8/11/11 and not one bug what so ever.
Good Luck

Random reboots are almost always app related. What apps have you installed? I have been running the stock GB and versions of it with no problems whatsoever. Never had a reboot or any other problems.
This is a common issue with the G2x. When the phone came out a lot of people complained about it and got different phones but I suggest flashing a custom rom like Weapon G2x and it could help fix the problem. If that doesn't work replace it at tmobile or switch for a another phone.
