Reboots, Freezes and Lag

I got the Inspire 4G on launch day and haven't done anything to it except load apps. I noticed a few hours in while installing an app that the phone rebooted by itself right when the app started to download. After the phone was back up, I attempted to download the app again and this time it worked perfectly. It did this one other time with one other app but then things were fine...for awhile.
I started looking at the apps that came preloaded on the phone and when I attempted to start the Blockbuster app, it said that it needed to update and then the phone rebooted. When it came back up, I attempted to start the app again and it did the same thing. When it came up a second time, I went to the market and tried to download the update straight from there but it rebooted when the download tried to start. I did finally get the update to take, but the phone became very unstable for the next 30 mins, so I decided to uninstall the update and not play with the Blockbuster app again!
For the rest of the night, the phone would reboot from time to time and it would also freeze without much warning. Sometimes it would give me a force close message relating to Gmail or Messages or some other app before the reboot / freeze, but other times it would just do it. One time when it rebooted, it froze at the "rethink possible" screen and required the battery to be taken out before it would come back.
I did some reading and found a similar problem with the Desire HD. It too had some reboot / freeze / lag problems after the latest firmware / software update and after some investigation, it was found that if you enable USB Debugging in the Applications portion of Settings, most of those problems would disappear! I enabled USB Debugging as suggested and I can say that I haven't had a problem since...going on 18 hours.
I started this tread to see if anyone else is having these issues, since I have yet to see anything negative about the phone yet except the external speaker complaint, and to offer the USB Debugging possible solution.

I have had one unexplained reboot. Was odd.

Sounds like u got a defective device. The first inspire ended up just rebooting by itself out of nowhere and then when it tried to start back up got stuck at the white HTC screen. The phone was completely stock. I returned it for a different one and now all is perfect.

My Evo started rebooting until I had to get it replaced. If it keeps doing it take it back.

This has to be an iscolated incident.

[Q] Brightness Reduced due to overheating!!!

I am very desperate here in regards to one issue that I have. My phone keeps reducing the brightness on the screen due to overheating. My phone is not even hot. The problem is that I can't even go back to full brightness. I have to wait for a while to do that. But then, I work a little with the phone and BAM does it again. Are you guys having the same issue that I am having?. I have the phone to maximum brightness with auto brightness off. I asked on different forums and no answer as of yet. I already exchanged the phone and I am still having the same issues with my second phone.

Replied as well in the other post.
Are you running widgetlocker? That seems to overheat the phones by running the cpu into the ground

No sir. Not running widgetlocked. Funny thing i just watched an entire movie that i purchased through the media hub and the brightness was never an issue. But here I am surfing and checking youtube clips and it happended again.

My god. It keeps doing it. I cant believe nobody has the same issue I have. 2nd phone and as soon as Frys has more in stock I will be getting my third. I love this phone and I will not give up until I have a working one. But if anyone knows of how to fix this issue please let me know. Thank you so much.

I had the same problem. Backed up all my data and did a factory reset. I'm not sure what app it was but I've heard widgetsoid & widget locker are the ones that cause the processor to constantly run at full power making the phone overheat. After my restore my phone was back to normal.

Well i just finished with the factory reset and as soon as I was setting my market account and downloading apps it did again for a few seconds maybe 5 sec. and then everything went back to normal. I am going to keep working on it and hopefully the issue will be fix. But the fact that it did it while downloading my fist app after a factory reset makes me wonder. But thanks man for answer me. Thank you. I will keep you guys posted.

Don't restore any apps yet or downliad anything. Just use it regular stock for a few hours and see if it heats up. If not its a buggy app using all of your resources.

I only have this happen while having my infuse mounted on the dash while driving. it happens when the phone is charging, screen cranked up all the way, using google navigation turn by turn, has bluetooth on, and is streaming music from google music. Haven't had it happen during normal use at home. The phone mounted on the dash doesn't help with the heat since it's being hit by such strong heat from the sun. I'm also using the barely there case by case mate and it is always pretty cool to the touch with brightness all the way up and wifi on. Don't know If that helps. I'm loving my phone though.

Had it happen to 3 inspires before I finally returned it. I have a buddy's phone who rubs perfect and he is on it more than I am.
Must be a bad batch of phones or I just had horrible luck.

Man, this is crazy. Still haven't fix the issue with the brightness and now I have an issues with flash content on my browser. For flash the video plays fine but the sound is playing like in slow motion. Uninstall flash and reinstall flash and still have the same issues. I starting to think that I have a lemon for a phone. 5 days and still Fry's has the phone out of stock. I need the return it for a third and hopefully last time. Oh by the way, I still have issues with the brightness.

Same issues on my phone, maybe it happens to all of them..

Since GB, boot up takes SIGNIFICANTLY longer. Am I alone?

I had been running rooted stock and had no problems at all. Since update my phone frequently becomes practically unusable and unresponsive with mild use.
I'm thinking maybe because I can't freeze all the bloat but what's really seemed strange is how friggin long the phone now takes to boot up!
Before update I wld see the g2x screen for maybe 5 seconds then wld come to the home screen but now it takes 40-45 seconds to move from the g2x screen... everytime!!
I've looked around and haven't seen it mentioned, so am I alone?

Mine was faster on gb. Something not right on your side
Sent from my thumbs to your eyes using a Sensation 4G

Mine also takes about twice as long to boot up as well but that's literally the only complaint I have over the Froyo install. I was rooted before with frozen apps and I've noticed they're still frozen now post update but now I don't have root. I'm wondering if it's an issue with some of those.

Mine seems faster also...

Mine boots up for the same time I think. The only diff I've noticed is that I don't see the second LG logo with the bar underneath. It shows me only the first one and then black screen and the animation with the green Droid and G2X logo.

First off, why can't you freeze the bloatware? You installed the rooted version, so just use Titanium Backup or Antek to freeze it.
Second, most of the experience with the update (including mine) is that it's significantly faster.
The fact that you say you can't freeze the bloatware indicates to me that you did not wipe /data when you installed the ROM - if that is the case, it is most likely the cause behind the slowdown. I would suggest you reinstall again, making sure you wipe data and cache first as the instructions tell you to.

The above goes for you too - as i'm 100% sure you did not wipe data, or those frozen apps would be gone.

Whoa calm down there turbo, where in my post did I say I installed the rooted version? The answer is nowhere, because I did not install the rooted version.

Actually I think My Account is still frozen BC I can't find it in the app list but car home and telenav and all that other garbage is back and shows up in Autokiller as running and they always just restart if I kill them :/.
And I know I froze all those apps but the only one that seems to have stayed frozen for me is My Account.
All of your previously frozen apps are still frozen and not in the app list?

I mis-understood where you said you were running "rooted stock". I did not mean to come across as condescending.
Install the rooted GB build from the dev forum and freeze away.
Also, the auto-killer apps are BAD. They will cause your phone to slow down, because many of these apps do not like to be killed. When auto-killer kills them, they restart - usually in a bad state, doing strange things that suck up CPU. After that they're killed over and over again. It's better to just let them be and let the OS suspend them when not in use or freeze them out all together.

Having very wierd issues with updated G2X

After failing at updating my phone and sending it to LG to have it done I am having so very annoying issues. Applications seem to just randomly dissapear everyday. I download it, useit, and everyday at some point I go to play a game or use a app I downloaded and it says application not installed. Like I delted it or something. Icon is still on home screen, but when I go to market place every app I downloaded says no installed. I even switch apps to my micro sd card to save phone memory. What gives? Also wifi doesnt work anymore. takes for ever to connect, and when it finally does connect the internet doesnt work. When I try to watch youtube videos or browse it takes forever for things to download or upload even with FULL 4G (from reading around TMO did a little false advertising as you dont know when you "actually" have 4G or 3G on this phone unless you go to phone info and check. BS if you ask me). Videos will play for a few seconds and buffer until I just give up.
While I love the update for the eye candy I am not impressed with the performance. Phone service seems to be better. I have full bars more otfen, but the performance isnt up to par.
I am also wondering if my wife having the HTC sensation has something to do with the slow DATA. As she watches alot of youtube and browses the net alot on her phone. Could TMO be slowing our Data b/c of over use?

In the wordsvof Tombaker....Stop your lying kid. This phone is perfect. NONSENSE!

Haha if that were only the truth. While it is the best phone I have ever had, nothing goes with out problems. just seeing if people have had the same problems, or if there are any fixes.

Lol haha
G2X CM7

The apps disappearing probably has to do with your sdcard. When the apps "disappear" is your sdcard mounted to your phone? If your sdcard is mounted to your computer via USB cable, or if your sdcard is removed, then any apps that you've moved to your sdcard won't load.

Yes my sd card is in my phone. They dissapear randomly while not connected to the computer.

i get that problem sometimes...i have redownloaded scrabble 4 times bcuz of it...dedicated lol

I had this problem for a while when on froyo. It was one of the problems I complained about on LG's forum, along with wifi not working right. After getting a refurb and the GB update, wifi still doesn't work right. Haven't had the app problem anymore though.

Yeah it pisses me off b/c I didnt have these problems before. I had the reboot problem but noticed they were far and few between when I did a hard reset. Its a BS I had to do that but it was the only thing I could do to keep it from rebooting. Then no more then 5 minutes of having my phone back it reboots in the middle of a phone call lol. I guess I can deal with having to do hard resets and downloading games apps multiple times, but I would really like to get my wifi up and running again.

[Q] Low Memory & Flash turns phone off

My fiance's charge keeps flashing low memory when he plays games or gets on internet. He had one before this one and never had a problem. Any ideas on how to fix?
Also whenever he takes a picture, his phone cuts off and it won't turn back on unless he pulls battery. I've seen threads on Verizon saying a lot of peoples do that... ANd hit reset. That worked for two minutes and it's back to doing it again. I know people on here are always helpful =] His phone is stock. He won't let me root it. He's scared something will happen! UGH.
Thanks​

Tell him to quit being such a *****.
The device will shut down when taking a picture with flash when the battery is too low-power draw is greater than the battery can provide at that point.
Low memory-not much you can do about it until rooted. Cut down in some active processes.

Use Titanium Backup PRO once you gain root to freeze bloatware apps that won't uninstall from the system. You'll gain a hell of a lot more memory by doing that.
