Rebooting may be a hardware problem

First g2x rebooted constantly. Froze up on charger. Required battery pull.
New g2x hasn't rebooted yet. Same SIM card.
My guess is that if yours reboots you got a dud and should exchange it.

The same happened to me. First phone suffered from reboots.
My replacement is fine but I still haven't root it, so I blamed it on the root process.
Is yours rooted?

To counter your point..
Original G2X - rebooted a lot but then removing apps, software changes have made it more stable. Usually go 3+ days without a reboot
Replacement G2X (sent back) - rebooted just like my first one so i didn't even bother removing apps. SAME BATTERY AS ORIGINAL!
I also think it's mainly the battery which is what you're seeing by getting a replacement. I think some batteries don't charge properly so there are times when the voltage drops too much to sustain the phone causing a lock/reboot. I've been monitoring my phone and the more I think about it the more I realize most of my reboots happen after I had taken it off the charger at 100%. I can use it without charging it and it never reboots. Also battery monitor widgets,etc. cause reboots which all comes back to a bad battery or horrible battery driver which CM devs have already said existed.

After months of being in denial about the same problem which has plagued the O2X since launch, a couple of weeks ago LG Europe acknowledged the problem publicly and said it was software.
http://translate.google.com/transla...alligevel-problemer-med-optimus-2x,lid.15324/
Here's the post on the O2X forum that discusses the problem in gory detail. Interestingly, it says the Atrix is having a similar issue which could certainly point to the processor.

The rebooting is a software issue. The only time my phone rebooted was when I installed an app (Fring). After I uninstalled it, no issues.

Neither were rooted. Also, rooting in and of itself is incidental; it would not affect the issue as rooting does not change any of the kernel files.

I guess I have been one of the lucky ones. I bought my phone on the 22nd and have never had a reboot or lock up happen. Also my lcd bleeding is pretty minimal. Im still exchanging my phone for a new one because the little black piece of plastic that covers the camera just fell off one day plus I have a dead pixel on the screen that driving me nuts.

It is not the root process. I thought the same thing the first night after I rooted. The phone would not stay on for more than 5 minutes. The store rep did not believe me and tried his sim card and sure enough after five minutes sitting on the counter it turned off and only by pulling the battery was he able to get is re-started. Some of the phones are screwed up. Swap it. My new one is running great except for the battery life.

Oh. Sorry. It just seems that on a lot of threads where people post about problems they are having, you jump in say you don't have any issues and to uninstall something like Fring that works fine on every other phone, so I thought you were trolling.

Although I often manually reboot the phone. I haven't seen one single auto-reboot or freeze, before or after root. So I don't think root is the cause of auto-reboot.
All bloatware are there and running, sometimes I manually close CarHome and TeleNav after reboot, sometimes I forget to do so.
From what I've seen, auto-reboot does look like a hardware problem. To be more specific, those devices are defective.

Just jinxed myself. Right after I replied to this thread I saw first freeze. After pulling battery and putting it back I saw "System Checking..." upon booting, and many force closes after boot was completed.

Just offering what worked for me. If that's not the case then just return your phone. You can keep getting a new one or listen. There's nothing wrong with the phone that a software update probably wouldn't fix.

My 2nd phone has no auto shutdown yet, but I am using new sim card. My ex G2X was using the old sim card.

My week old today G2x, 4/11/11 build, has never rebooted by itself. The only problems I'm having are flaky behavior switching wifi calling on and off automatically and some back light bleed.
As for how one phone reboots and others don't, it could be software or not. In order to really know for sure you would have to be absolutely certain you had the exact same apps installed in the exact same order, be in the same location at the same time and under the same conditions and loads.

That could be the cause, since my previous phone suffered from reboots and I was using the old SIM. I started using the new SIM since day one with this phone and still no reboots..

Will you return G2X if update doesn't fix reboot?

I sure as hell will. Wondering who here is ready to return if their phone reboots after update. T mobile will be so swamped if it doesn't fix it, and mine recently has started rebooting randomly, not too often. Just wondering if everyone here will return, if so, t mobile will have quite the ride with this one unless they do a recall.

My sentiments exactly.

I don't think LG is going to let it happened. It's something in the software that is conflicting with the hardware. I'm on customs ROM (CM7) and have not seen it rebooted once.

I will sell the phone if I will see new 2.3 gonna be slow than 2.2
(Im ready to buy Samsung Galaxy S II)

If the update or a battery swap doesn't fix my reboots,i would like to return it but I'm already past my 30 days.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

I would make them exchange it. How can they not if you tell them it interrupts calls with a reboot. Also someone else said in the topic about the o2x gingerbread delay that the g2x was pulled and he's getting a sensation. Not sure if that's true or not.

That I don't know. Most likely...

When you ask, "will you return it?" you realize that T-Mobile will not take it back for a refund outside the 14 or 30 day "buyers remorse" periods.
If you are outside that period, returning it for a refund or exchange for another phone of a different model is not an option.
And since the phone has not been available for nearly 30 days now, I dont see how ANYONE could still be within their buyers remorse period.
I was on the phone with an executive from T-Mobile today (not a customer service specialist, retention specialist or tech specialist... a real executive) and there is nothing that ANYONE of lower position at T-Mobile can do.
And as an FYI, the issue is happening with pre-rooted and un-modded phones AND rooted and custom rom phones. I have one of each sitting on my desk right now and both of them have the same issues.

If I jump off this ship the I won't get to see this phone mature.
It is such an awesome device and at least with me the reboots are not bad at all. Just like any other phone I had, nothing new nothing major.
This is going to be an awesome phone ones it matures.

There's always the Sensation. I played with one at my Wal-Mart today and it is very light and small. I was shocked, tbh. I have very small hands, for a guy and it is quite comfortable. The only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger is that new return policy and the chance of a Nexus Two? Three? coming this Christmas.

I will not jump to the Sensation unless they build a ROM that is without Sense. Sense is fun to play with but it's horrendous as a daily driver.
The Slide 4g or whatever does have me intrigued though. I just loves me some keyboard.

There is no way in hell I am getting another one of these. No way. They can't tell me when the update is coming and each phone has these different crazy personalities!
Mine did two completely new and screwy things today. Completely different than the wifi issues and shutting off type reboots, and screen bleed that this forth phone has been doing already.
First, today when I was at the local Walmart trying to see a Sensation, I took my phone out of my pocket and it was stuck in this loop. The notification screen looked like it was pulled half way down. It was spinning around between landscape and portrait, landscape and portrait over and over about once a second. Kind of looked like a slow motion propeller just goin' round and round. Landscape, portrait, landscape, portrait. Bizzarre. Had to pull the battery.... nothing else would work.
Then tonight, my battery was in the red zone. So I change batteries. I have to enter my code on my sim card before I can use my phone. It took forever to get to that sim screen, then I could not input anything. Finally held down the power off button, the power off screen shows but I cannot input hereeither..,,,,battery pull. Arggghhh!
Then I turn it on, and it takes forever....I mean two full minutes, then shows an error message.....
" Sorry!
The application com.lge omadmclient (process com. lge omadmclient) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
With a "Force close" button
When I pushed the force close, it showed another error screen
"Sorry
The application Launcher pro (process android.process. a core) has stopped unecpectedly. Please try again."
This one had two choices.."Force close" and "Make report"
When I pushed FC, it went right to the former error screen.
Could not get out of this loop. Until I did a battery pull. Power off did not work.
This happened three times. Three times. Finally did an on/volume reset. Arggghhh!
More Weirdness.....
No....I don't want another. Thanks.

+1 I love sense for the eyes but sense bogs down the phone too much. I want my phone to be snappy as possible but it does look like a nice device.. Although I dont think it makes sense to jump ship for it. I think by late fall(which is only a few months a way ) something better will be out and I'll upgrade then The mytouch 4g slide does look interesting as well(I had the mt4g and loved it) Wonder how thick it will be. I really dont have any reboot issues with my g2x. I do have some screen bleed but I'm going to try to fix that I actually have 2 g2x's that's why I dont mind trying to open one up just to fix the screen bleed. The other got sent back to "LG" (really Steller Wireless) for major major screen bleed/screen separation. I hope that one comes back perfect but I'm not holding my breath. But I want to try to fix the one with minimal screen bleed myself

Oh I am going to stick this out to the buyer end... It is a beast... It had me at hello...

The PRL ROM project

This is a simple project I'm working on for asop users who frequently switch from sprint to Verizon prl's. No point in restoring a big sense rom just for one little task. I've started with senseless stock base. I've taken out all the in necessary apk's that I know I don't need and left what I wasn't sure of. I've deleted wallpapers and everything I can get away with. I've inserted the old ESPT. IF anyone knows of what else I need to remove or what is safe to remove then tell me. Also any suggestions on what I should defiantly not remove? Thanks.

PRL ROM

I don't think I have the old epst in this one.
PRL ROM A2
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B15P03MYsoqPYTY3ZjlhMmYtOTRmNi00YzU4LWE5M2QtODQ1MDMzY2RhMzI2&hl=en_US
A2 gives me acore error and FC on opening the dialer. This was due to deleting contacts provider apk.
Prl rom A3
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B1...OGJlNC00Njg1LWJlZDMtZjE3ZWY3NmI4ZWM4&hl=en_US
This has the old epst and so far I've cut 6 more MB from the zip.
Instructions
Nandroid your ASOP ROM, wipe everything, flash PRL ROM. Do your Business, Make a Nandroid of the PRL rom as it should boot faster. (im still up in the air on this one) Then restore to your daily driver.
Things todo
Add recovery to power button
add MSL reader
remove un needed libs
Speed up update script.

Sounds like a nice project!

What would be ideal would be ESPT on AOSP, but since that doesn't seem to be possible/happening, this is the next best thing.
You'd be surprise how much you can rip out of a Sense ROM. Typically 70MB and still keep Rosie and such is what I find.
Also don't forget that you can rip out alarms, ringtones, and notifications (Keeping just 1 of each is what I do) if you are going for such a small ROM. You could also get rid of any non enUS components like the PicoTTS elements. -- if you haven't done any of this already.
Good luck.
P.S. Provide a list of what you removed, or the current ROM you have right now so people can review.

Ok thanks, didn't think about sounds. Alarms ringtones and notifi, GONE. I stripped the boot anima to 2 frames becouse I'm at work on my phone and can't really build my own here. But it cut that zip way down.

You might be able to just delete the zip altogether. You will probably get the default android logo splash. Not sure if this applies to Sense or not, but worth a shot.

I think I'm going to flash what I have first and see how many fc's I get. Lol
Do you know of a file manager that will let me make a text file list? Best I could do for now is screenshots. And I can't seem to post them from this browser.

I"m all about this. I've been stripping something out of every rom I've downloaded for a while now. I'm not much on programming but if you need or want help, I'm all in! Just PM me

OK here is what I've got so far. There is still alot of FAT to be trimmed. Honestly, this is the first time I've had a chance to touch a computer today. I just wanted to get it out to a few of you to see what can be cut. My goal is as small a zip as possible, Flash it then nandroid it and have it restore as fast as possible. So the only thing we need to work is CDMA of course, Dialer, system update, and old system EPST. So far I havent seen any problems with what I cut but I haven't touched Libs yet.
I borrowed the update script too so if anyone wants to cut that thing down to size, im sure it will flash a little faster.
P.S. I'm not asking anyone to do my work for me, I'll do it, I just figured some may want to have a little fun cutting this thing up too.

I seldom use data for anything more than internet radio. My commute to work is a p.I.t.a. on sprint trying to stream tune in pro at 1x speeds. If sprint drops me for that they can kiss my backside. As much as I hate Verizon there coverage is better here. But I don't get signal from anyone once I get to my house but my Prl hack doesn't work with the airave.

When your on a sprint Prl you can roam on Verizon but only at 1x speeds. That's not fast enough to stream internet radio. With a Verizon Prl your in short tricking the tower into thinking your a Verizon customer therefore getting the full 3g speed.
If your on a sense rom you can switch back and fourth easily. Asop doesn't have that capability.
My new rom is the bare minimum need to change Prl. Then you can restore your asop backup.
sent from my evo probably at work, probably on the clock.

So when you restore back to asop it will keep the prl for vorizon towers? How would we switch back to our regular prl? Our does that even matter?

Yes it keeps.
To switch back. Do a backup, restore your backup of Prl rom or reflash it, system update, restore back to asop.
But don't do it yet. The two I've posted don't work. The first one is missing the old epst needed to get to the Prl menu and the second is missing contacts provider so the dialer is broken. I just posted them to show the progress and see if anyone else wanted to help cut it some more. If you download them both you can use root explorer, extract them both and move contacts provider apk. From Prl rom into Prl rom 2 and zip it back up and it will work. But I've cut alot more than that for Prl rom 3. For Prl rom 4 I hope to have all the in needed library's removed to make it even smaller. 5 will have the script streamlined to speed up flashing and then ill work on cosmetics.
sent from my evo probably at work, probably on the clock.

Okay thanks I'll stay on top of this thread I would like to try it. Why couldn't they make something into these asop roms that when it reverts to 1x it could switch prls?

Turn off the fastboot feature. It's one of the settings somewhere.. maybe under Applications or Storage. I forget, but its at the bottom of the list.
You can use ADB or terminal to get into recovery, but turning off fastboot will let you get back into recovery like normal with the volume key and power key.
Think of fastboot as like a suspend mode.

Fastboot did the trick. I zipped a version of this Rom with root explorer and titanium backup so save a few restores back to my daily driver. These libs are confusing as heck. I moved a lotof them to a temp folder and didn't seem to affect anything at all until I tried restoring xda premium apk. Haha it failed to install. I threw them all back in and worked like a charm. Man this phone can almost predict what I want to do its so fast with all those other apk's removed.
I really wish I knew where to find what libraries I need to keep for phone, settings and epst to stay working. Whatever broke restoring from titanium won't even matter for the final version. So long as it boots, changes settings and remains fast.

My V21e Update

To anyone who cares or was questioning the update. My update is running very smooth, GPS updates super quick, battery life has improved and all my apps are working perfectly. I must be lucky.
First of all, previously to the update I was running CM7 RC-1 with morfics kernel which ran great first of all. But of course i wanted to update to an "official" if you want to call it that.
This is the guide I followed thanks to TGA_Gunmann for posting first.
http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/23/how-to-unroot-the-t-mobile-g2x/
I made sure all the steps went exactly as they were supposed to. And i followed them perfectly.
Now i have this.

Battery life with my normal to moderate usage. It has been better than my experience with froyo.
Been using this all day as well. Widget and background (bg is a Live Wallpaper also)
If someone were to ask me if they should update, My answer would be yes. I have not had any problems yet. Just make sure you follow the instructions CAREFULLY! Maybe someone will find this at least a little useful.

People are complaining but I rather have the update than be stuck on 2.2. Only. Things worth noticing is the stock camera, but we have to wait 4 more months on the update.

Sorry if I made it confusing. I do have 4G but only notice the 2G check box in the setting cannot be cleared and stick. That's all.

I now notice it only seems to get stuck in the checked position if there is also active wifi connection, otherwise, if the phone is on 4G, the 2G box can be checked/unchecked and the selection sticks.

I agree if anyone wants to update they should, but the only down fall is losing the nice LG camera. That is the only reason I went back. I take a lot of photos of my son who is 2 years old and I need crystal clear pictures like you get with the LG Camera. I think if you want a stable gb rom, do the update. If you want the LG Camera like I do then do not do the update. Just my two cents.

I can agree. I noticed the camera was a little dark. But I can deal without it. I take meaningless pictures unlike you. Pictures of your son is a good reason to go black. I would probably also jump on board if I were to be using it for tthe same.reason

It also happens on mine when wifi calling is active.
I got "4G" back after wifi is turned off.

People are complaining but I rather have the update than be stuck on 2.2. Only. Things worth noticing is the stock camera, but we have to wait 4 more months on the update.

Q. So I've just got my shiny new One S..... How do i unlock the bootloader ??

Q. Awesome. How do i use ADB ??
A. Check out THIS thread for in depth details with pics. (Credits to MLIGN for creating this)

A. To get CWM + Root please look HERE (Credits to TORXX for creating this)
Q. Ok, Now I Have **TAMPERED** In Bootloader, Does this mean the world is going to end ?
A. No the world will not end, Not today anyway, **TAMPERED** is Normal when using custom software, Such as ROMs / Recovery, It will disappear when you revert to stock. Also, If you get SECURITY WARNING, This is also normal(ish) You will have to relock bootloader and run an RUU to restore equilibrium in the universe
Q. Help my phone is in a bootloop and I can't remove the battery
A. Ok calm down, Hold down the Power button for 10 - 15 seconds... This should force a reboot
Q. Thanks, You're Awesome. Now Where can I find a Custom ROM ??
A. I know, All custom ROMs are in the Development Section found HERE
We have no Kernel Source Code yet, So not everything is possible. Please be patient

A. Well my friend its your lucky day ! Check out this awesome tool HERE (Credits to HASOON2000 for making this)
Q. My phone is faulty... How can i get it back to stock before sending it for repair ??
A. To go back to stock, Run an RUU (available in Development section) If you cannot find one that matches your CID, Extract the rom.zip from the RUU and modify the android-info.txt, Re package it and flash the rom.zip in recovery, WE NOW HAVE SUPERCID, CHANGE TO WHATEVER YOU LIKE TO GET THE RUU WORKING !!.
Q. Help, I did some crazy **** and now I'm in a boot-loop with no ROM on my SD to flash !!
A. Ok, Firstly WHAT THE HELL !!! Secondly, Calm down, Try a full factory reset, or restore a nandroid if you have one, If that fails, Look at THIS guide on how to push files / Flash ROMs via ADB.
Q. Ok, Thanks, But that didnt work, I have error mounting SD card, I think its a brick.
A. Ok, Slap your self in the face 3 times, then stub your toe ! Now look at THIS guide on how to fix your issue

Hi,
Great idea...

Is it known how well the camera will work in a stock ICS ROM, ie Cyanogen etc? What with it using the ImageSense chip and all. Will drivers be an issue?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA

Way to start the thread off !! you couldnt have asked a simple question could you lol
I dont think its clear to anyone yet how the camera will be on CM9 - Theres a link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594470 To CM9 ROM for the One S, But hardly anything is working yet, Including Camera..
I guess its down to the developer of the CM9 ROM and the code & drivers they use, But as for now its anyone's guess...
This phone hasnt been released still in some parts of the world, So at the moment development is slow..

OK how about this one: 5GHz 802.11n WLAN support? The spec sheet on htc.com is kinda light on details.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA

Yes HTC One S supports that !
Check here http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_s-4574.php

Cant find that info on gsmarena, it states 802.11n support but not if 2.4 only or 2.4/5GHz...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA

I thought 'N' Was 5ghz ?
802.11n works in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, it is compatible with legacy 11a and 11b/g users

No, it can be either 2.4 or 5. 5 is better as 2.4 is very polluted with microwaves from various devices, also bluetooth operates in the similar if not the same range, so you get worse wifi connection when using wifi and bt simultaneously.
No idea wherever One S supports 5Ghz though. I guess some info on it will pop out sooner or later.

Most likely there will be massive problems due to proprietary drivers for image chip.

Ok so ive got a question.
What radios are currently available with the One S ?? I got the One S because of signal issues with my Sensation.
Signal is better with this device, But Still not full bars like it was on my SGS... Im on a 'test' period where i can test the device for 7 days before committing to it.
Id like to test some other radios and see whether it improves my signal

I think its a good idea too. We had a similar thread over on the sensation forums. It was incredible. Every one chipped in to help each other like one big team
Id like the same thing to happen to this thread.

My router only supports wireless n on 5 ghz and my s can't see the network . So unless I'm missing some setting it does not support 5 ghz

Hmmmm... It seems you're right !! My router supports both 2.4 & 5ghz
I switched it to 5ghz, It disconnected, I switched it back to 2.4ghz It connected straight away..
Looks like the One S doesn't support 5ghz Wireless. Bit of a bummer really.. Ive had this 5ghz router 6 months, I dont own a single thing what supports it lol

Sometimes (maybe always?) when you enable 5Ghz 802.11n on a wireless router/access point it will be as a separate SSID and you have to set it up with security etc. This is the case with Netgear WNDR3700 (DD-WRT) at least.

My HTC One S just died on me and somehow I can't turn it on again. I was just playing GLWG and it got really hot, then left it for a minute, the screen turned out and when I turned it on again, the screen was strange, so I tried to restart it by long pressing the power button. It turned off and now it only blinks five times when I try to turn it on. Somebody got an Idea?

Hi,
I have seen this with other phones.
Try taking the battery out and leave it twenty minutes ,then try again.
