Wondering what the 'Real' statistics are on this... a lot of posts and responses, however, want to capture the statistics...
I get it rarely.. I haven't had it in awhile. :T
Only time I have ever had a shutdown was doing stuff with kernels. Once I was finished with the changes I was making my phone has been great.
Mine was doing fine for the past couple days....it never shut down over that span. Last night it did it twice within an hour!
I usually get shutdowns at least once a day.
Nice, it was on all of 20 minutes this morning...went to wake it and it was off again!
I get them every so often, but then again I'm running JH3 ROM WITH JP3 modem with the vibrant kernel. If out didn't random reboot every so often I'd be more surprised, but its the price I pay for HSUPA 3.0 down 1.6 up.
never had this problem
I've never had this problem.
I had it with my original phone. Returned it in the first week, and the replacement had never done it for 5 weeks.
It has done it for me twice. I have had the phone since launch day.
Well, these posts are concerning. I've experienced plenty of times when the phone would hang, but never shut down.
Never happen on the 4 different captivate in my house.

After i got mine,rootes it and used any task manager, i got them very frequently. I have since done a factory resetvflash and rooted with Unleash The Beast as well as have it do all the bloatware removal and sideloading setup,and havent had an issue since.
Hope it stays like that. Its hard to txt at work when you have to keep turning your phone back on...And yes we can txt on our phones at work..lol

I never have.
I don't root or sideload or use task-killers.
It is fine.
BTW: I got mine at the end of July.
I've never had a random reboot. I did however have the spontaneous home button presses that made using any apps almost impossible. But that problem went away when I moved to JH3.
It's happened 3 times since I got mine on launch.
Not yet . . . (knock on wood)
Maybe a better poll would be to have the same choices for both Stock and Tweaked-(rooting and anything that requires it, and/or different rom versions)
I've only experienced it once and it was due to that retarded daily briefing widget. Haven't used it since and haven't had a random reboot/shutdown in the past month.
This just started happening to me -- three times in less than a day. Stock ROM, rooted, bloatware removed, no lag fix. Going to uninstall the last couple of apps I installed to see if that makes a difference.
Happened twice in four weeks, once on the first day and once today.
Everything is stock. Market apps only.
I've been through 2 G2x's , both have had the same problems...
Random reboots
Random freezes
Random shutdowns
Crazy inconsistencies in battery life
I've also gone the route of rooting and trying CyanogenMod with the same results.
With the battery issues, I did the following test 3 nights in a row.
Phone wiped, 100% battery charge, signed into Google and let the apps download, rebooted phone, data connection turned off (airplane mode), unplugged the phone and set in the exact same spot in the same room 3 nights in a row at 11PM.
Come 8AM when I woke here's the results:
Day 1: 30% battery remaining
Day 2: 80% battery remaining
Day 3: 0% remaining - battery was stone cold dead - wouldn't boot until I plugged in.
Phone was fine when I started typing this post, but just now while typing this message I reached over to check my phone for text messages (I keep the alerts volume all the way down while at work) and it's locked up again...
Guess I'll be returning the phone for a refund and borrowing an old flip phone for a month until the Sensation comes out.
Sorry LG - when it works, it works AWESOME, but I need something a bit more reliable considering that work needs to contact me on the phone and I am on call 24/7 !
In the 2 weeks I've had it I've only had 2 random freezes and no other issues at all. This is my first android phone and the thing i see that's screwed up with android is it leaves applications open, there is no exit buttons on apps. I've been using juice defender and uninstalling any apps that keep popping back up after ending task on them.
Sorry to hear about your problems. You're doing the right thing by returning it and getting another phone. I don't understand why people have loyalties to corporations who could give 2 craps about you. Buy what works for you and makes you happy.
For me, the occassional reboot on the G2X is a pain but the promise of a stable CM release and an official gingerbread release on this hardware has me sticking it out. Can't wait
I haven't had any issues with my phone except battery life. Buy my battery life isn't as bad as yours. It used to be horrible but I got a new sim and that seemed to make it better.
Regarding the reboots, some apps are causing the phone to reboot. Either the apps aren't optimized for the phone or the other way around. I had one reboot and after I removed the offending app, never happened again.

Actually, when I bought the phone I had them put a brand new SIM card as mine was getting to be a little long in the tooth - if getting a new one helps the situation I'd hate to see how it was with my old one :-D
Removing an offending app would prove to be a real problem for me though, as everything that I install has a legitimate work-related function.
im returning mine today for a newer batch one. its may 4 so i expect one that has the date of 4/24 and up as stated in other threads. mine reboots and freezes during random functions.
I ordered mine on the 20th so the day the phone was out in the store. I had to order mine online since i am a T-Mobile RSA. I have alittle screen bleed but not much. I will be doing exchanges until i get one with no bleed. Other wise i have had no problems at all. No reboots, lock ups, data problems, nothing the phone is rock solid. I love the phone. Every person that has come into my store with problems i have told them that T-Mobile is going to exchange this for you under the lifetime warranty if you have it for the life of you having the phone. So you have nothing to worry about. The phone is a great phone to have. Do the exchanges until you get a working one. I know i would do it until i did. Even if it meant doing it 100 times.

A better test would have been to not install any apps. Then you could truly test your phone and not some rogue app, that you keep installing.
I'm about to do a complete wipe again and use a secondary Gmail account I have so to eliminate any apps from auto-installing and test throughout the day since I have my work PC handy.
or just skip the Gmail sign in process at first and add your Gmail account later from Settings. This will prevent it downloading your apps on first boot.
Also to the New Android User: Back closes apps, Home leaves them open. It isn't the OS's fault if you don't know how to use it.
To the OP: Have you rooted and flashed the Pre-Dexopt Patch from Paul?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051616
LG left the phone in Dev mode and doesn't dexopt the phone on initial bootup. This is why our phones boot so quickly. The downfall is after a few hours, it starts to lag out and lock up/reboot.
Sounds exactly like the problem you are having.
This patch is required for stock and EaglesBlood Roms excluding CM7. This should be fixed in the upcoming Gingerbread update. I also believe EaglesBlood and future roms will start coming with this patch included.
So do yourself a favor and patch it.
Basically, it's an awesome phone and many, if not all, of the issues should be resolved with software updates. Gingerbread is already in the works.

Yep, have tried without the patch initially and then with it.
I have signed in with the secondary Gmail account - only thing I imported from the original was my contacts, so, it's 100% stock with the exception of Paul's patch and recovery.
I'll be damned...
In an attempt to preemptively find out what I would need to return the accessories I ordered for the phone just in case I took the plunge and returned the phone, I was on hold with T-Mobile...
And while on hold, I grabbed my phone - and SURE ENOUGH - LOCKED UP HARD!
So, I guess this just made up my mind for me - I'll be returning this phone to point of purchase. Just need to use NAND to restore the stock backup , reflash stock recovery and unroot...
I am planing to return this phone too..
It seems the phone shut down completely for no reason, sometimes the screen doesn't wake up even tho phone is running in background.
So far i have tried to run completely stock with no apps installed no sync nothing and i was getting battery like 6-7 hrs.
I guess that was not acceptable for me.
I might have to wait till HTC Sensation comes out. What you think guys ?
Mine works fine, no problems at all, yes the screen bleeds a bit, but I can deal with that.
awesome phone, much better than my atrix

That's where my money is going...
my understanding is the sensation is locked down that's why cyan isn't going to get it. Which also means no dev support.
The MyTouch 4G and G2 were locked down too... Unless they are going to lock the bootloader?

HTC announced an update to the Sensation in Q3 that will include a NFC chip to match the features of the SGS2. I'm also guessing they'll increase the amount of RAM in the phone to make it more competitive. If the 2.3.3 update makes the G2X stable I may keep it until later in the year. If the Sensation comes out before they update the G2X I'll get Sensation. I need a phone that's consistently dependable and in that regard the G2X is a mess. I can't do custom ROMs because I travel globally and everyone I've ever used has always given me problems registering on foreign networks so CM7 is no silver bullet for me. It's a shame too because the G2X hardware (bleeding screen excepted) is pretty slick and it's really fast when the planets line up and everything works. Sigh.
There has to be something causing it that I'm not doing.. I mean how can I have 3 g2xs (first I scratched, second a tiny spec of dust, now third) with no reboots or sleeps of death? Yet others can't get one that doesn't..
I never use bluetooth, wifi calling, or ever have data syncing, maybe theres a feature that people use daily like bluetooth (just using that as a example) thats causing it. So the ones using this future are getting the reboots....
This reboot thing just is word to me and I feel if we figured it out this phone would be the **** (although mine is, minus blacklight bleed) and we could be half way happy again..lol
Sorry just wondering how I got 3 so far and no reboots, although I've only had my third for 2 days... Anyways, good day all... I love my g2x...
P.s. I don't buy lg knows the issue. I mean by now a update should have been pushed.. If its software that is..
I haven't had a reboot either

No reboots or problems with mine. When I was in the store buying mine a lady brought hers in and said that it was rebooting all the time. I was kind of sketchy on buying it then. But I bought it and I kind of assumed it was a user error. But I am happy with it coming from a My Touch 3G to the G2x.
My first G2x had major reboots but no screen bleed. pulling the battery every hour irritated me and i felt like I was breaking my battery cover every time I pulled the battery so I opt to exchange it. Fortunately, the second one I got works like a charm, no reboots but has very minor screen bleed. I'd sacrifice a minor screen bleed over constant reboots and freezes.

I had mine since day one and it has never rebooted.
The only reboots/SoD I has was using the leaked GB rom using the stock Froyo kernel.
Stock 2.2 based roms and CM based roms work fine.
I've had 3 phones already because of the screen. Never had a reboot.

First phone rebooted constantly. Second phone hasn't rebooted at all since I got it. Same software, same everything. Both exhibited light bleed but the second one is slightly better. Might keep it
I went through 2 of them with the reboot problems, in fact, I did a complete restore back to factory with NO apps installed and I still got the reboots within less than an hour from the time that I wiped.
That having been said - I miss this phone! Why? I have no idea LOL!
If it can be figured out what the problem is I'd love to get my hands on another one!
I am on my third one. The first two had constant reboots and black screen freezes. The one I have now (third one) for 9 days had been rock solid. Then yesterday I got a screen freeze and about 12 hours later I got another one. Then this morning it frooze on the alarm and luckily I was awake and did not oversleep. About an hour ago I got a reboot and now realize it has been rebooting longer than I had realized. I use Run Manager and I had thought it was turning its self off, but today I realized that the device had been rebooting and thats why Run Manager would be off and no record of the exercise. It seems as if it just reboots randomly. I have tried it with Cardio Trainer with same results. Oh man I have 5 days left to decide whether to just return it or accept another replacement. If the SGSII was not coming out fairly soon I would definitely keep it. Just read in another thread here that devs are far and few between other devs are starting to avoid this device. Do not know how true that is, just stating what I read. Decisions Decisions
I got my G2X last week and of course had to root it and load the latest CM7 nightly but after i did this anytime the screen would timeout it wouldn't come back on. The buttons lit up and there was a little light escaping the four corners of the screen but that was all.This problem continued every time the screen would timeout so eventually i just set the timeout to 30min until i could diagnose the problem.Anyway my last phone was a Nexus One([probably doesn't make a difference) and I used the same memory card that i had been using in the Nexus One for the last three years to root and run my apps on the G2X.
This usually isn't a big deal because we do this all the time but I decided to see what would happen if i tried to load CM7 and run apps from a fresh memory card so I did the experiment and it worked no more BSOD even when i try to get one. I'm not sure if the other card had an issue or what because as I said it worked just fine in the Nexus but it was the problem for the G2X. Maybe since it had been in the Nexus so long it dint want to cooperate with any other phone who knows but I figured i would pass this along because I've been seeing a few people with this problem and I thought this could help everyone out.
To be honest, I believe its the battery.
I have 3 G2X batteries. 2 Stock and the big 3000mah one.
I had to use the big one for a few days because I needed this phone to last long without charging.
I went back to a Stock battery. I have 2 so I just picked one. And it went Black Screen of Death every time it charged. It froze my phone constantly and the phone also got very very hot. Felt like my phone would melt.
I really got pissed and tried the other stock battery. And...... its fine. I haven't had Black screen of death, no crazy overheat when charging, and really the phone is stable. I'm shocked honestly.
I'm willing to say at this point its the battery. I've used the big 3000mah and I never had the Black Screen happen to me on it. But I hate using that huge battery because its so big. Also, because my phone isn't in a rubber case when using that monster battery, so I feel like my phone is unprotected.
I really believe the hardware issue is inside the charging circuits and the battery in use.
I'm on CM7 Nightly by Kang. I don't flash that often anymore. Its the Jan 13 ROM I think.
Just stating what I've seen happen to me. Its the battery/charging circuits. I might get Black Screen of Deaths, but with the other crappy battery, it happened at least 2 times a day.
I never got this but I have got random reboots on MIUI....That's all
To me the battery ic chips are bad that controls the voltage at what level.. pior battery quality assurance led g2x ****ty performance.. iam myself looking to buy new battery..
Sent via G2X-SINGH-UI
I had a few bsod prior to flashing and a few after flashing...HAVENT had one since replacing the stock battery. This is all i know.
Flashing faux's CM7 kernel seems to of fixed the freezing during charging for me. Going on 1 week now without problems

When i first got the phone from my friend to check out. popped my sim card in it i would get a freeze every few hours or 10 times in 5 minutes some times a full day and nothing. Got mad at it reflashed CM7 on it and played with it a little on wifi put it on my desk and forgot about it for a dar... went back and noticed it still had not froze so far im on day 3 with out haveing any issues at all with the phone not a single freeze or reboot.
So its been going on three days. im giving it one week with no sim card in it to see if it freezes. Using the phone as normal over wifi at home... and using the hotspot on my vibrant to use the G2X to make calls with groovIP and text with google voice. along with normal use of the phone like taking pictures/facebooking/emails ect.
any thoughts on this?
I agree on the battery not playing nice with rest of hardware. Just got 2 hyperion 1800mah's and now my phone has locked up more than 5 times on 3 different roms. Just like undervolting and instability issues. I have owned 4 G2x's and I have 5 different makes/specs of batteries. Also, I've owned both early and late model versions of the phone. The battery is definitely the weakest link

Personally, I think it's caused by several different problems. I've been using the same battery since the phone came out and the only time I've had this happen is using Faux kernel, even after reflashing a couple times. Flashed Trinity ELP over it and it was fine. *shrug*

Pin it to Win it.
Everything was fine on the phone until I tried out AOKP 4.2.2 alpha 2 a week ago, When I had the rom installed the phone would randomly shut down. I thought it was because the rom was not stable enough so I flashed CM9. On CM9 the phone would shut off every five minutes it was that bad. I then installed Miktouch 0.7 and the shutdowns for the most part stopped. The phone will shut down now and again and it always shuts down after I use youtube for 10+ minutes or use the camera for several minutes.
I tried to revert to stock and see if that fixed anything but when I boot into the bootloader it looks for PG59IMG and says no image found and nothing happens. I got the PG59IMG from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878329
Any help is appreciated.
I swear it sounds mechanical...maybe battery related. Just starting out of the blue like that and it being cross ROM and all. It should just flash that file automatically from hboot though. Are you sure you copied the file to the root of your SD card? Did you relock your bootloader with *fastboot oem lock* before running it? Sometimes it doesn't like it if the usb cable is still plugged in. (for some weird reason) If you're still S-On, did you flast the boot.img file thru adb with *fastboot flash boot boot.img* after flashing your ROM?
Oh yeah, you won't be able to flash that PG59IMG if it is newer than the hboot version listed in your bootloader right now. That is until you get S-Off with the wire trick.
Check some of that stuff out & get back to us.
I agree it sounds mechanical, most likely a bad battery.
I confronted similar behavior over the weekend and a testing with a new battery allowed me to point a finger at an older, aftermarket battery as causing the shutdowns.
Sorry for the delay in the reply - real life got in the way.
I thought it was also mechanical but the shut downs are MUCH less frequent in Miktouch than on ICS roms so I thought it may have to do partially with the software.
I'm S-off, used the revolutionary method years ago. Never issued the "fastboot oem lock" command and I've never done anything related to fastboot. The stock image was in the root of the sd card.
When the phone does shut down it doesn't matter if take out the battery or do anything else, I can't get the phone to start back up until 20 mins later or so. The phone will certainly shut down if I use the camera or use youtube so if there is a way I can grab a log or something that could help let me know
I've had very similar issues, since installing a CM 10 alpha, and now on 10.1. The first couple weeks when I first rooted/flashed CM 10 were fine, but then it started rebooting one day, and never has stopped. Stock battery, no reboots prior to that, S-On, flashed the boot.img for each rom, and it's doing this with both CM 10 and CM 10.1. Does that also sound like battery, since it's the stock battery which has always worked fine? Also, it seems heat/intensity related - if I'm playing a game, using GPS, or talking a long time, that's when it tends to happen, and then it tends to happen right at/near the lock screen for a while after that until it's cooled down (perhaps that screams battery, but since it always restarts fine/has power I would have guessed it had to do with the processor or kernel). Thanks in advance for any advice!
Could be the battery...
I agree with the other posters. I had the experience of lots of random reboots a while back when I was working my way through sverhagen's 9.1r3+ ROMs. But, it just turned out that my stock battery had given up the ghost. Swapping to one of the gold batteries fixed the problem. I tried the stock battery in the interim for a brief stint and switched back to the gold, as the stock battery still caused random reboots. So maybe its time for a battery refresher

Yeah....the little suckers are on a power trip I think.
i've been having some shut down issues for a while, on different ROMs so I don't think it's that. whenever i'm using it i don't have any issues (unless it's a known ROM thing, that's separate). even during the day when i'm not using it, it hasn't shut down or anything. the issue is that a lot of times when i wake up, i find that the phone has been shut down. i charge it overnight. so, my best guess is that i should stop doing that, maybe the battery is bad, it can't handle that for that long?
idk any ideas would be helpful. i'm considering buying a gold battery anyway
Did you try the new Battery ?
I was have random shutdown and lockup problems. The phone would lock with a blank screen and I'd have to pull the battery to get it back.
Am running SilverL's CM 10.1. I might be a coincidence, but I backed off on the aggressiveness of the CPU settings (in the performance menu) and the problem went away.
I'm currently running a min/max = 128/1242.
I'm trying not to post a new thread so I'll post my very similar problem.
I got this phone about a year ago. I put Miktouch on it and was experiencing random shut downs all the time. I believe I posted on here and I can't remember the responses. As the mytouch q kinda sucks and I want a solid phone. I gave it another attempt this time with CM 9.1.0. When I used the camera once it shut down and restarted I think. Then I got a solid few days before it started going wanky again. Today alone I've had like 5 restarts. From what I've searched around it seems the problem here is the battery? This is stock battery and I got the phone used off ebay. I think I used stock rom like a week before rooting and putting Miktouch on it.
edit: For some odd reason my background also changed. Charged the phone backup. It turned off again.
If you've flashed any ROMs here to the MyTouch Q then that's your problem. It isn't this phone. These forums are for the HTC MyTouch 4G Slide. A much more powerful phone with a different manufacturer & motherboard. If you have S-Off go to their forums, wipe...wipe...wipe & reflash one of their ROMs. You're lucky you're not bricked.

I know. I'm talking about two different phones in the same post. I bought this phone (Mytouch 4g Slide) last summer but shortly started having problems. As I didn't want to deal with it I went back to my slowly dying touchscreen on my G2. When that finally died (touchscreen) I just bought a mytouch q as I wanted a phone that worked. This was my first new phone in a long time.
I am NOT trying to install any roms for the MyTouch Q on the MT4GS or the other way around.
S-OFF should be off on the 4G slide. Pretty sure my mytouch Q is still rooted though. It sucked at running CM 9
Sorry. Somehow I got confused. That being the case, it sure does sound like some type of a hardware issue instead of a software one.

Yeah, from what I read it could be a battery problem. Going to go with this Anker battery as its the only reliable battery I can find that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Anker Battery
Yeah I'd start with a new battery myself, either a new OEM or an anker, both are cheap on eBay. Also look for a post where me and weekends were discussing the emmc of this phone, bear in mind I have zero proof, but I got a suspicion there may be multiples they put in here and some worse than others.
If the battery won't work then I would repartition the whole dang thing, either by returning to stock and the rerooting and resoff, or by at least flashing the same bootloader on top of the one you currently have.
Just some ideas, but if you want a better idea of what's causing your issue, pull a logcat

Yeah I'd start with a new battery myself, either a new OEM or an anker, both are cheap on eBay.

I have a theory of whats causing it. If I extensively use the phone the battery warms up which gets to the point it shuts down. Thus if the battery is still too warm and I turn the phone on then it will just keep shutting down. Of course I can't do this until I'm home for the day as I'm out and about this weekend.
edit:
I used the Revolutionary way to turn s-off which is permanent.
I get random shut downs constantly. Usually atleast 3-4 times a day. It's pretty nerve racking. I honestly don't think it's the battery, I've experienced this issue on three different batteries and it happened on all of them. It's not ROM related either as I've tried probably 15 different ROMs (stock based, ICS, JB) and they all have this issue.
My buddy who has a Sensation also has this issue on his phone. Maybe it's a problem for that phone too since they are pretty similar?
