CM7 problem - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hey folks,
Finally got around to putting CM 7 on my phone a week and a half ago.
Out of the blue yesterday it started a rebooting cycle. Would re-boot, go to the main screen then reboot again. Keeps doing this until I pull the battery.
Any thoughts on what could have caused this or how I can fix it other than re-installing and having to set up apps etc all over again
Also when I go into the screen that shows APN's so I can get on the proper network it is blank. Can't figure this one out.
Thanks in advance!

dude if u go over to the cm thread its happening to alot of people, and its happening to me and i never get reboots i think its the newest nightly and something to do with data, now i dont know what nightly your on but u can throw a new nightly on and dont have to reconfigure your phone all u have to do is put nightly on your sdcard then go to recovery, wipe cache, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache, and install, then when u boot up u will have the new nightly loaded and all your apps will be there the same as they were, nothing messed up, because u didnt wipe data and dont need to , .....let me know how u make out

Thanks brother....and I got Faux on there...FREAKIN FAST

yes that with voodoo is nice i have to say

Does voodoo affect the earspeaker and loudspeaker, or just the headphone port?
THanks in adnavce

It appears to affect all speakers. I know mine is much louder all the way around. ESPECIALLY the blue tooth headset.
I flashed a different nightly and am back to perfect.

Odd problem

Not sure if anyone has had this problem but I'm seeing some really odd issues, sometimes the screen starts moving really quick almost like flickering but from left to right as if I'm holding finger on the screen and moving it extremely fast. Sometimes it seems like touch screen doesn't work until I hit power and menu right after, also randomly core apps would crash.
I'm on jf1.42 rc33.
are you using any themes? I've encountered similar problems, but only after flashing multiple themes without wiping. i've never had any problems after a fresh wipe and reflash of JF 1.1*.

i'm having similar problems but wasn't sure if something i did screwed it up, i was getting random core apps crashing on 1.41 RC33 and to test a script i wrote and an app made by another i completely wiped every thing to where the phone wouldn't start at all, i achieved this with adb shell wipe all
i wouldn't suggest doing that unless you have an update.zip waiting to be flashed to your phone, i put the phone back to warrenty standards and then started EVERYTHING all over so i could test the things i wanted to. when i finished testing i rooted and put 1.42 on and it seemed a little better all day until it popped up and phone process, settings, and core all three crashed at the same time about 30 minutes ago. my flash was 100% clean as there was nothing on the phone at all including OS, i completely wiped the system partition and data and refused to flash my nandroid back up since i didn't want the same problems. i hope someone else knows what's going on and we can fix this
I went from stock rc 30, rooted, JF RC 30, Themes (many), RC 33,JF ADP 1.1, then back to RC 33.
I had an issue of contacts not syncing, and the import contacts from sim caused a core force close.
So i did a freash install of JF 1.43 RC33 and it worked again. No screen problems but I did have a few core apps force closing. It hasnt happened since my last install of RC 33. Im running a modified theme now, my own with very little changes.

No themes, if I do a wipe, what happens with paid apps that I have installed does anyone know?
Looks like it was the related to multi touch, after doing another wipe and installing a build with out multi touch the problem went away no more rapid screen movement and apps are not crashing

Continuous random reboots on CyanogenMOD 4.2.12.2

I'm getting mad trying to debug these random reboots. I'm getting a lot of them while the device is sleeping, without any advice. Sometimes it even halts and gets to a black screen, and I've to remove the battery to restart it, because just pushing the power button won't do anything.
Here's the last_kmsg:
http://pastebin.com/m79ba1a6f
May anybody please help me addressing them? I've already tried all the standard things, like wipe dalvik cache, fix_permissions, wipe and reinstall and so on. Of course I'm ready to provide any additional info, if needed.
Thanks and keep up the great work!
BUG: scheduling while atomic: suspend/7/0xc00b67f9
I think this is the main problem with this crash. Any clue?
try
I suggest trying to remove widgets before then reboot and wipe dalvik cache.. I was having similar problems when I did this it worked fine.. Dont really expect anyone to help you here, they get pissed when people ask simple questions.
Okay, I'm gonna try this. Thank you very much!
im using that rom at the moment, have been using cyan for ages but i can no longer use it, its so damn laggy get blank screens between different apps ,reboots its so unusable
Today I tried a full format and reinstall. Started from scratch, and installed on top of the default 1.5 rom, and it seems to work much better. I still have some rare RR issues during normal app usage, but at least it does not reboots itself randomly without being used.
Trying to clear dalvik cache didn't help, the phone still was unusable, so I decided to format the SD without ext partition.
I'll try it out for some days, if I still will see many reboots I think I'll try out the RA rom, I've read it's much more stable.
Just why exactly didn't you flash 1.6 android first like it's advised?

[SOLVED] LGO3D randomly shuts off.

My newly bought shiny LGO3D phone has a habbit of randomly shutting itself down no matter what ROM / Firmware i have on it.
I've tried stock, king ROM, and a few others. all randomly shutdown. i wouldnt mind if it had rebooted by itself at least it would come back on but it just goes off!
i reach into my pocket -- lo and behold the phone is off!
I've read lots of Optimus2x threads about a similar issue ... some blame the android system and some blame the hardware.
i wonder why there isnt a log in the android system describing an error or whatever?
can anyone help?
maybe your battery is a bit loose?
go stick some strips of paper at the bottom edge of the battery to make sure its nudged tight.
not sure, maybe a possible solution
i think i may have solved this issue...
what i did was this:
install CWM and reboot into the CWM menu.
i deleted everything. cache, delve cache, battery stats, everything thats deletable i did it.
i am currently using king_rom (which was doing the same problem for me to start with) and i can say the phone has been running ok for about 2 days now.
keeping fingers crossed.
usually cache + dalvic + battery states are deleted on every rom flash
if it appears again pull out your sdcard
fixed all reboot issues for me... wonderful to have a phone able to play 3d + record 3d/1080p and cant use a sdcard
hoping the 2.3 update will fix it

i never sacrificed the sdcard though its in there and its working fine.

Display / menus freezing and / or disappearing, system apps force closing

I've been searching this form for an hour or two now and still haven't found my issue, so here goes.
Just got an HTC Inspire 4G off of ebay and it arrived today.
The seller had mentioned that the phone was freezing / rebooting, but I figured.. that's because he's not running cm7, right?
Charged and booted up the phone and it turns out that the problem was a little worse than I first expected. I only experienced occasional freezing, and it only rebooted once, but there is a worse problem.
The phone loaded up fine, looked good, but tapping around on the home screen I got messages alerting me that system apps (htc sense, launcher, and even com.android.phone) had stopped responding or had shut down.
I hit the menu and go to settings. I scroll down the list and the entire list goes black. I hit home and it goes to a home screen, but with no launcher or icons. Basically, every few taps, the interface goes out. If you are on a menu it blacks out, if you are at home or press home after the menu blacks out you will get anywhere from pieces of icons / widgets to just a blank desktop. The live wallpaper even keeps going, but all of the interactive stuff quits. The disappearing menus didn't usually give app closed messages, they just went black. The home screen only gave app closed messages sometimes.
I thought this was a software problem, so I managed to root the phone and flash cm7. Everything booted good, but it still had the same problem of weird disappearing menus and home interfaces. I went ahead and flashed gapps and got the little intro thing about setting up my Inspire 4g that starts when you first boot your phone. I clicked through that but when it gets to connect wifi, the phone entirely freezes and I have to pull the battery.
I flashed inspiremod and nothing changed, tho that's for something else, so I'm not sure that's entirely relevant, but I was trying everything I could think of.
I'm definitely no expert on hardware, but it almost sounds like a ram problem, like it doesn't have enough to keep all of the interface going all the time and shuts it down or shuts parts of it down to work.. but I don't want to believe that. I'm really hoping that it's a software problem.
I got the phone at a good price and it came with an otterbox, so I won't be too disappointed if I can't get it fully functional, but it would still be a bummer.
Any help / advice / suggestions appreciated. Thanks, guys!
EDIT: I cleared the cache / dalvik cache before flashing / reflashing cm7, which I did once or twice
EDIT 2: Now if I leave it on the intro screen where it freezes it reboots after a minute or so. Gonna try flashing a different mod.. see if that helps.
That was a long post. But it was good, you gave a lot of info.
The cm7 zip that you downloaded, check the md5 checksum, make sureit matches whatever is in the op (first page) or wherever the md5 is, maybe where you downloaded it from. If it doesn't, download again.
Then,
from recovery,
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe dalvik
Format all partitions(except sd card)
Flash zip/rom.
Check if it works. If not, try using it without the sd card. If not, come back and report.

Thanks for the reply and suggestions.
I check the md5, and it's good. I just did a factory reset and wiped cache and dalvik.. I'm unsure what you mean by format all partitions except sd card. I don't think I know how to do this with clockworkmod.
Started up without sd card and it still has the same problem. Looks great until I touch the screen, then everything disappears except the wallpaper.
Reboot in recovery and do it from there. You'll find format all partitions at the bottom... well, maybe. Cwm has an option to reboot in recovery, and I think if you press and hold the power button, select reboot and it will also ask you if you wantto boot into recovery. Cant remember if cm7 has it, it should.
After you wiped those, flash the rom. Stay in recovery and search for fix.permissions. Reboot.

Just did that and re-flashed cm7, but the phone was still having the same problems.
I then repeated the process with a MIUI ICS rom and it seemingly worked for a little bit. I got a "Maps has stopped working" message, but I was able to slide back and forth through the home screens, and the menu came up. After I tapped though the menu a bit it started being weird again, but with MIUI the weirdness is different. It looked like the screen was divided up into 20 something smaller screens tiled across the display with messed up looking bits of screen in them.. weird..
If you are wiping correctly then I am out of ideas. I would say try a GB rom, however that is a strange issue and just might be a hardware problem. Tough, Im not sure.
Sent from a dream.
I've tried cm7, which is 2.3, and I've tried a 4.0.4 MIUI build and one other sense rom that didn't work well at all.
I'm wiping and flashing the same as I did on my LG p509, which works beautifully with cm7.
If it is hardware, hopefully it's something simple like the battery, and not bad RAM or anything serious..
Maybe if I keep at it I'll get it.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
Np. Keep us updated.

I ordered a new battery for it, and that fixed the random reboots, which had been occurring more frequently, but the other problems were still there.
I flashed and re flashed and formatted and reinstalled a bunch, but still no luck. I then decided that I might take it by the local cell phone repair shop and see if they could fix it.
In preparation, I used aahk to flash the stock ruu with everything how it was when I got it. After booting it up, it seemed to be working ok.
I still get the occasional menu glitch, but it's so infrequent it's not an issue.
The phone still freezes up quite a bit when I'm using it, but it's nearly a useable device now!

Have you tried changing out the sd card? Having a bad sd card can cause all inds of odd issues
I booted it without an sd card before and couldn't tell the difference, but it had a lot more issues than just freezing then.
I haven't tried it since those other issues have stopped. I'll try that when I get home from work.

Help needed; random black screens

For the past few days, my phone has been acting up pretty badly. On the rare occasions that it finishes booting (usually gets to the CM boot animation and stays there), it will then only work for a short time before either I press the lock button to wake the device, but the screen stays black, or occasionally the screen will go black while I'm actually using the phone. The only way I have managed to get the phone working again is pulling the battery and restarting, and hoping it will boot this time.
It seems to do the black screen thing particularly frequently when text messages are received, but it's not ONLY when they are received.
It started when I flashed the latest kernel posted in the Evervolv thread [here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41359720&postcount=183]. My current rom is CM10 build #6. Once this started happening, I restored a nandroid backup I had made a few weeks ago. At first I only restored the "boot" partition, and when that didn't help I restored the "system" and "boot" partitions. That still didn't work, so I flashed the Garuda kernel v5. That also did no good.
Is my only option re-flashing my ROM? I'm a little reluctant because that would mean losing all my apps etc. and having to restore them. I guess I could try a full nandroid restore first.
But before I go too drastic and potentially lose data, does anyone have any other suggestions as to what may be the cause?
I also have Mounts2SD installed (from Play Store) in case that's relevant.
EDIT: Could I flash the ROM without wiping and thus keep my installed apps and data?
A logcat would help.. In the meantime, install the" app2zip" app from the play store.. It allows you to make flashable zips of installed apps.. Also, try to find "zipme" by jrummy.. That app lets you make a flashables of apps, app data, system data, Bluetooth pairing info, Wi-Fi info, n much more.. And just to have covered all the bases, try reflashing the full rom...

I'm cautious about speaking too soon, but last night I fixed permissions in recovery and it hasn't black screened or rebooted since so I'm hopeful it may be Ok now. Thanks so much for the suggestions though, I'll be sure to look into those options in case something else goes wrong or else if this problem isn't actually fixed.
Edit: oh and I had tried to get a logcat but once it black screened it wouldn't respond to adb
