So I'm sure that apps have something to do with some of the issues people are having but I noticed that nearly everytime my phone was freezing with the screen off or rebooting it was on WiFi. This last weekend I went to a friends wedding and I used wifi like crazy including wifi calling. I didn't change any apps or software on the phone and although I used it the same way the phone was super stable. It lasted 3 days without a reboot and guess when it finally froze? When I was back at home on my wifi.
My wifi used to be mixed mode n and g. I've now switched to g only to see if that will help since most of the hotel and public wifi spots I was using were g. Speeds are very fast still so I'm not losing out much. I've also noticed battery life better on g only.
I'll test it out for a few days and report back but wanted to share. Anybody else having issues should try either not using wifi at all or switching to a g only network if possible.
Crossing my fingers.
Thats a good theory... I connect to wifi daily, but only g not n.. And I haven't rebooted yet...
Interesting thought. My first one rebooted/locked up and it had nothing to do with wifi. I never even enabled it. It was just a bad evil phone possessed by the devil. My new phone works great with both wifi bands enabled on my linksys wifi router.
For those still having weird stuff happening...swap the thing out!
I hardly use WiFi and my reboots only occurred on the leaked Gingerbread. After the first reboot or "Screen of Death" I cleared all the normal caches and factory settings and kept it "clean".
I had 3 more reboots and it was dead in the morning.
Seeing how CM7 doesn't do this using their own custom kernel, I'm blaming the stock kernel.
I use stock rom, perm rooted, cr4pwares are all removed, applied paul's fix., juice defender balance, screen off setcpu setting. Use wifi most of the time at home, when not at home, only use "4g" only. No reboots nor screen of death yet.

My reboots or freezes usually only happen once a day or less frequently. The fact that my phone froze after finally getting home and worked perfectly while travelling makes me thing its something to my area. It could be the T-Mobile network /radio but I've rebooted a few times while on wifi calling.
Not sure about that theory. I use wifi 90% of the time on N only and have yet to have a reboot since I purchased this device.
Tonight mine rebooted around 7 times while charging it, talking on speaker and browsing. I noticed it was very hot while charging (40c)...I've had the phone since launch and had only one reboot until now.
I think I'm calling tmo tomorrow to swap it.

N only is still different than mixed mode.

I am trying to get my new phone reboots by itself but I couldn't. I tried b,g and n only. They are all the same. My old phone shut off randomly. Hardware issue?
Except the phone is rooted and SIM unlocked, I keep the bloat intact.
My G2x doesn't encounter freezing or reboot after flashed back to stock. No matter wifi is on or not.
Perhaps certain application causes this issue. You have to check it one by one. Probably moving app to SD can be an issue (I keep all apps on application storage).
Could be the MicroSD. Someone needs to test different microsd cards on this phone. I used a Kingston on my old phone that had reboots, but Lexar microsd on the new phone now with no problem. I didn't get reboots until I started using microsd card. When I had auto shut off on my old phone, I could boot up the phone with either microsd or battery pull.

I use Sandisk 32GB (from MT4) and it works fine so far.
Anybody not having reboots use their Bluetooth a lot? Do you leave it on all the time? Do you use stereo Bluetooth?
I just realized the whole time on vacation I never used Bluetooth while I use it a lot here. Maybe another angle.

This is one I've been thinking... Cause I've had no reboots and never used bluetooth once..
I woke up in the middle of the night and this came to me - I have NO idea why!
I had two G2X's with the reboot/freezing issues, both in CM7 and Stock ROMs, with/without 3rd party/market apps. Both have been returned and I am back on a G2 now, but if we can figure this out, I *WILL* be going back to a G2X!
I had never considered one thing that both phones had in common - my MicroSD card. I never tested the phones without the card because it never had occurred to me that might be the issue.
I had in both the same Class 4 Sandisk 16GB MicroSD .
Is anyone else using the same card? Has anyone tested without a MicroSD?
It may not even be the card itself, it may be the reader in the phone!
I'm testing a brand new exchange phone now. Leaving it stock with no software installed by me. No SD card. It already powered down by itself once while charging and required a battery pull.
Brand new, as in brand new brand new, or an actual warranty exchange where they may have sent you a "refurb" that may have been one of the screwed up ones that someone returned?

It's a warranty exchange by mail. So it came just alone with no battery or back cover. It could be a refurb, but it looks brand new to me with all the little teeny weenie plastic stickers on all the buttons just as my original one came as. I think it's too soon for them to have started re-cycling unit for refurb, no?

Not at all, so many people on this forum exchanged their phones that sounds like Tmobile has many exchange phones to give out already.
I have just purchased an Optimus 3d and hate to be the first to report having random reboots especially while copying large data from internal SD to the external one (per 3 trial to copy an +300MB file to the external SD i have 2 reboots). The phone seems stable while plugged in (both AC or USB) though. Problem usually occurs while the screen off. I have it 3-4 times a day while not copying a file.
These are the things I've done to see if the problem would be fixed with no luck.
- Installing different ROMs (v10b, v10d and v10e all custom)
- Factory reset (to make sure no 3rd party app cause this)
- Trying different SD card (using no external SD seems to decrease the reboots, but they still exist )
Now trying to use an official ROM and will see if the problem will be fixed.
Edit: Tried with the official v10d, and still the same
Any suggestions?
[FIX]: The GB update fixes the problem
Am I the only one having this issue?
I get 2-3 random reboots a day too, usually while it's in standby and doing nothing

Sorry to hear that.
I was among the lucky ones when purchased the Optimus 2x. It was perfect without any issues. And now, just paid my due
could be a faulty phone, had mine since july 1, and hasn't rebooted once, even with all the mods etc
Noticed mine rebooted by itself yesterday,1st time i know of,i have had the phone for a few weeks now,hope it doesnt start doing it regularly..
I've had one or two sleep of death and one or two reboots during the month+ I've had it, nothing major but I think LG got something messy in their ROM just like with the O2X, hopefully it wont turn out to be a hardware fault.
Ive had mine reboot randomly too P925g(rogers/thrill version) also once and a while all my bars will drop and i will have no signal couple minutes later and its back up
I get 2-3 random reboots per day lately
Quick question, do you have Bluetooth switched on when it's doing this?

not happened to me once ?
i have had the phone since 3 days before it was released in the uk ..
i have most roms and all seem to work well i even tries copying a file bigger than 300 mb between memory cards and no reboot either ... so i have no idea ...
this is interesting as i am having the same issue as well. but mine isnt rebooting.. its turning off completely. i come to see the phone and its off.
only had it for like 4 days now!
Maybe your SIM card is corrupted??
Try with another.
same problem
I had the same problem. I can tell you that you can't fix it by yourself. Your phone is broken. I used the LG VIP service to get a new phone and problems are over now. This is a hardware problem. Will never fix by reset or re install. Tip. Don't use the guarantee service of your provider but do it via LG. The most providers will keep your phone and send him back without doing anything on it because the problems is not when you turn your phone on. Good luck.
i suspect a sim card issue as well. mine currently randomly shuts off completely... i've seem issues with bad sim cards causing reboots ... but again mine shuts off so ...
I'm having the same problem with mine, I've replied to a thread on LG's forums and now I've sent LG a email because I'm starting to get worried about the phone. I've had problems with signal but after a long talk with T-Mobile CS I managed to fix the problem where I couldn't access internet when not at home on wifi, it was set to use orange signal instead of T-mobile all the time hehe.
I'm wondering how would a sim card cause a phone to reboot? I've been using phones for several years and the only problem a sim card has caused is no signal and in old days loosing contacts.
I was thinking it might be a over heating problem but then since it always does it when it's doing nothing and I'm nowhere near the phone I'm not sure it is.
Well, actually this problem found me!
When I've changed the rom for first time, I got this problem moments after first flash. Now, I've switched to V10j, and today when my phone was connected to Car Kit through bluetooth the phone restarted, I made reconnection and the phone restarted again, then I made wipe for data and cashe(For first time), but when I connect it again I got the same problem.
Now, I will see, if it keeps happening, I will use LG Tool to recover.
Edit: I did what I said and evrything goes fine.
I used to have 3-5 reboots a day, but only when phone is NOT connected to usb, charger or pc, dont matter.
Now it's gone up to a reboot every 20-30 minutes, still ONLY when usb is connected, when it's connected it can connect for ages it seems.
The major thing that changed in my phone is the 10k update that came in about a week ago or so, but I cant really recall if the up in problems started just than, as most of the time i'm using my phone through OSP.
First i thought the problem didnt occur when the phone was running any program (eg. in my car i usually have heytell app running) but tests proved me wrong.
other odd things are that recently i cannot do updates or download thru market anymore over wifi, i have to turn wifi off or else it will result in an update or download error. Strangely enough the phone software came in thru wifi no problem.
Tech support suggested a hard reset of the phone, but i read now that this dont solve the problem, i'm not looking forward to a resetm because when I do a full backup thru lg suite, and it dont work either, gives me an error with 0/8 back items finished and telling me that not backed up items are removed from the the restore list (jeay!).
any suggestions are wellcome!
Just got my phone back from service, I was assured by LG that they have tested the phone and the phone is fine, I checked the firmware on the phone and it is V10B, I was told that they (LG service center) don't have the V10J,what rubbish!!! I will have to upgrade the phone myself, so I did, I installed all my apps, NO ROOTING, my wifi is set on never, I know some PPL have been suggesting to switch it off, well, I paid $738,00 for a smartphone, if I can't use the smart features of the phone then what is the use gettnig a smart phone? anyways, I put a web cam on the phone to record, this morning I went through the footage, the phone has restarted 4 times, I started the recording at 11:00 pm, at the 3:05 am one restart, then at 4:08 am, 4:16 and finally at 6:15 am, this is a major fault in this phone that is supposed to be top notch, I will be calling the service center today to see what excuse I will be getting. I have wasted hours in installing re installing and trying fix a problem that should not be even there, also taking the time off to take the phone to service and then to pick it up.
I've had an iPhone for the past 5 years.
I decided to take the plunge & buy an android yesterday.
I purchased the AT&T HTC One XL.
This is my experience so far:
1) Audio -- while listening to music, opening another app sometimes either crashes the player or momentarily fragments the sound.
2) Connectivity (in NYC using the 4G LTE network) -- very patchy. Seems to go in and out, even though I've never had these issues in the same area on the 3G network. Don't know if this is a network issue, or just a phone connectivity issue overall. Pandora constantly goes 'in and out'.
3) Seems like there is no caching (anywhere):
a) Opening a web site, briefly checking my mail, and then switching back to the website, makes the website reload.
b) Conversely, opening, e..g, my mail, going to the web browser, and then going back to my mail, makes my mail reload.
For a phone with 1GB of RAM, I don't anticipate this issue -- my iPhone 4 with half the ram was able to keep many more apps and browser tabs in memory for extended periods of time.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
Do I have a faulty phone?
Are any of these 'issues' just the way the android OS works? (like said, i've never used android before, so i have no clue.!)
Will a future software update fix them?
I'm very much contemplating returning this device and reviving my iphone 4;
but I don't want to if i don't have to -- android allows everyone I wish the iphone would.
Thanks you.
I haven't had any of the issues you are mentioning. I used my music player for an hour while mowing the grass tonight. As far as the 4G LTE goes, I can't comment on that since I don't have it where I live.
When your music was messing up, where you using the music app or google music player? I would try the other just to see if that issue is with both.
Other than that, I would swap the phone out as you may have just got a bad one.
I take it you have the ATT ONe X?
I just got my ATT One X today, so I haven't fully put it through the tests, but I did have an Unlocked Euro One X about a month ago that had quite a few bugs. One was the sound issue you mentioned. When I played music thru any music player the sound broke up when you hit a hardwear button or sometimes just on its own.

Got mine yesterday and having only the issue with wifi signal and 4g signal showing. Lte is lightning fast where I am. I've been able to listen to music through my car speakers, take phone calls and text at the same time.
No eta and she shuddered a lot like she wanted to say an eta but the manager that was also talking stopped her I think lol. And it does work fine in the car it's when your using the built in speaker and doing other stuff . It's an intermittent issue
I am having issue number 3. My original iphone multitasked better than my one x is right now. Web pages always reload when I go back to them no matter the browser. Heck almost every app reloads.
Here's the number I called fyi

For your nyc issue. You wouldn't happen to me walking would you? It might be connecting to Starbucks WiFi which can't be disable if WiFi is on. This was happening to me

Yes #2 is a HUGE issue for me. To the point (as expressed in another thread) that I'm ready to return it altogether and just keep my Sprint contract alive afterall for their EVO 4G LTE...Despite the fact I won't have 4G, at least I know their network is up consistently and is reliable!
I talked to a nice lady on the phone just now and she said this was the first time she had a call from a subscriber with a One X...So she hasn't heard anything. Just not enough data and time. She looked at some notes and AT&T does have the WiFi issue flagged in their system. I told her yes I was experiencing that one too. It's an issue when coming out of WiFi your data doesn't connect.
She had me turn off my phone, she disconnected me from their network and then I came back on it. After I explained to her with the WiFi issue, I worked around it by turning all off and then airplane mode, she said, yes airplane mode does the same thing and will essentially reset your connection to their network. You may be assigned a different tower, IP, etc.
So you can try that. Turn everything all off. Then turn airplane mode on. Then off and then the mobile network back on. You'll see a notice saying "preparing SIM card" ...
However, despite all that. I still have constant connectivity issues. The phone will not stay connected for long periods of time. It is always bouncing between LTE, HSPA+ and simply not connected at all. There's a few apps that I go to update in the store and all their downloads fail because the phone will not stay connected long enough to download them.
WHEN the phone is connected, for those brief periods of time, the speeds are good. I've seen nearly 30Mbps download on LTE to a close test server and 5, 10, 23, etc. on test servers farther away. It's extremely fast. Unfortunately, the phone simply won't stay connected to their network rendering it just about useless for anything other than getting some e-mail messages as they are able to trickle in.
thanks
The connectivity issue is horrible on my phone. I don't even have any clue that it's gone bad until I try to send a text or make a call that refuses to go through. A reset used to fix my problem, but recently it became very very stubborn (many resets... thought I tried everything and was preparing to drive to the store) and then I tried the all radios off, airplane on, airplane off, mobile on and it finally fixed itself. very frustrating, but thanks for the tip. Not sure I'll be keeping this phone. My iPhone 3gs was overall far more reliable.

That's explains why you didn't experience the #1 issue, it's only when music player is on background you start/switch to another app.
I'm experiencing all the above, but after LG Nitro HD I'll take these issues ten fold without complains. This phone is awesome even these issues.
the caching one sucks!

I have #2 and #3.
I was going to give HTC till day 29 prior to returning it,, however, ive changed my mind. Taking back tomorrow morning. It frustrates me to no end for the following reasons in order of importance.
1. Battery Life- only 6-8 hours with maybe 1.5 hours screen time. Thought maybe I received a dud based upon the reports of others but,,,,
2. Multitasking- there is none. 3/4 of the memory is ate up with crap running which probably accounts for the lack of caching. Due to there being no multitasking, my old iphone, iphone 4s and lumia 900 wipe the floor with this unit. It actually reminds me of the old galaxy S in terms of performance.
3. messaging- no notification
4. email-Can only send one attachment at a time.
5. email, cant click links, must copy
6. email- when you move an email to a folder, you must do additional steps to get back to inbox
7. System- pretty much everything requires so many additional taps, it is counter intuitive
8. camera- not on par with iphone 4s or galaxy s2, however software is better. I really wonder if the compression settings are what is destroying the photos.
9. No Visual Voicemail- without downloading more crappy bloatware from ATT
I do love the screen, the Quadrant scores are outstanding but not indicative of the phones actual performance and usability. I was excited, now not so much at all. There are so many other things to list but numbers 1,2,3 pretty much negate the use of this phone. I also have the Lumia 900 and iphone 4S. And so far I am most impressed by the Lumia900. However, it's camera,well, stinks.
You're crazy bro. I just scanned 6 pages wirelessly from my WorkForce 545 with my HTC One and emailed them out directly...that was 6 attached files...
Battery is awesome, but you could drain it in a few hours depending on what you do...but the same goes for every other phone.
I mean, I'd seriously give the thing a factory reset and a good charge. Play with it some more... He'll, root it and use titanium backup to remove bloatware...
But eh up to you

Hi all...first time poster, long time reader. (Mostly because someone has usually solved my problem for me six months in advance.)
My Inspire has been rebooting at random for about the last six months. The rate varies from once every couple of days to once every couple of hourse. Most of the existing answers are "replace the battery." I think that makes sense in cases where phones reboot while under strain (watching a video, during a call, etc.) because higher current draw would pull down voltage if a battery is failing. Not in my case, though. About 80% of the time that I notice a reboot, the phone is either in a pocket or on the desk.
For a few days I thought that I had solved it by removing the Facebook app. I had noticed a correlation between using Facebook at the phone restarting, and not using Facebook really did seem to make a difference for about a week. (Upon further investigation, that seems to hold across different ROMS. This has been happening with the stock rom, Ice Cold Sandwitch, and JellyTime.) But it isn't 100% better. I currently get about one reset every two days that I notice, and probably more that I don't notice.
That leaves me wondering, what could be going on? Is my hardware borked? Should I try flashing a different radio? I have had this phone for about 22 months and it would be nice to hold onto it a little while longer. Otherwise it has been a reasonably decent device.

Tim, random reboots can occur due to lack of memory. See if your internal memory is almost full. In that case, try deleting some apps or sending a couple to he sdcard. Take into consideration, that not all apps work fine from the sdcard, so just send the ones you like less...BTW, are you rooted or just stock?

That's an explanation I had not found. Internal storage looks OK in my case, with 701MB currently available out of 1.13GB. If it matters, the SD card currently shows 3.86GB avaliable out of 7.39GB. (I have tried with and without the SD card, and it doesn't seem to matter.) Maybe I should increase the free memory setting?
To answer your question, the phone is currently rooted and running IceColdSandwich 8.8 AOKP. If anything it reboots less frequently in the current configuration than it did on the stock ROM. I have not tried any Jellybean ROMs for more than a day at a time, so I'm not sure if that would be better.

Sounds to me like your hardware is bad. I have had my Inspire 4g for two years and the only issues I have had was maybe three apps force closing. I have never had the phone its self freeze or reboot. I have tried all kinds of ROMS and right now I have 4 regulars I stay with and alternated monthly. I Use Energy, Revolution, Smart Droid Red venom edition, and JB 10.1. All those ROMS are stable and cause no issues as you have described.
So from a tech view if I had your issues and it happens with all ROMS then that leaves only the hardware to be at fault.
I have a T-Mobile S8+ and its having problems that I can't seem to shake, and I will most likely have to return for a different one. My S8+ has been shutting off more than 6 times a day, randomly. Most of the times when I am not touching the phone at all. It could just be laying on my desk at work and just reboot for no reason. And no I do not have the auto restart option on, I double checked that. Also noticing that AOD sometimes doesnt come on at all, and no, nothing is covering the sensor to stop it from coming on. And the other issue I'm having is youtube. A few times I've gone on youtube to watch a video and 480p is the max resolution and thats on WIFI or Data, and I will go on my Iphone to the same video and it will be 1080p. So thats pretty disheartening with such a beautiful screen. And my last gripe is the SD Card. I have saved some of my apps to SD card, like I have on many of my other phones, and the app icons disappear and just show "SD CARD" as the icon for those apps, I've seen that before on other phones but it was only once in a blue. On this phone its almost every time I open the App drawer. I am using the 256GB Samsung SD Card that they have been giving on their pre orders for a while now. For being the newest phone Samsung offers, it shouldn't have all these problems that many of my older phones didn't experience with much lower specs. Back to the T-Mobile store!
It's an imperfect world we live in.

I have saved some of my apps to SD card, like I have on many of my other phones, and the app icons disappear and just show "SD CARD" as the icon for those apps, I've seen that before on other phones but it was only once in a blue. On this phone its almost every time I open the App drawer. I am using the 256GB Samsung SD Card that they have been giving on their pre orders for a while now. For being the newest phone Samsung offers, it shouldn't have all these problems that many of my older phones didn't experience with much lower specs. Back to the T-Mobile store!

I have a T-Mobile S8+ and its having problems that I can't seem to shake, and I will most likely have to return for a different one. My S8+ has been shutting off more than 6 times a day, randomly. Most of the times when I am not touching the phone at all. It could just be laying on my desk at work and just reboot for no reason. And no I do not have the auto restart option on, I double checked that. Also noticing that AOD sometimes doesnt come on at all, and no, nothing is covering the sensor to stop it from coming on. And the other issue I'm having is youtube.

Try removing your SD card and check whether all your problems are solved. I think all your problems is related to the SD card.
YouTube videos issue try changing your resolution from settings/display and check if it's fixed.
If not just factory reset and check.
I believe you have restored or transferred everything from your old phone right.

I could remove my SD Card, but then alot of my apps wont work because they are saved to the SD Card. This is the same SD CARD, I've used from a Galaxy S7 Edge, LG V20, LG G6, and my original Galaxy S8+ that was returned due to the red tint issue, and every time I switch a phone I delete everything off of the card except the pictures. I also start every new phone fresh and never restore anything. This is the first time its caused this issue. So I dont believe its the SD Card, but I do believe the issue with the phone is something related to the SD CARD. I have other SD CARDS a 200GB class 10, but I of course would rather have 256GB which is also class 10. So I dont know, I will format the SD CARD when putting it in the new phone, and see if the problems persist. If they do, will swap for another SD CARD and then see if they still happen. And also the youtube videos after a while start to show up in 1080p but for some reason some start off 480p, not sure why when my old ipod gets full resolution everytime. Maybe its a youtube issue. Thanks for the suggestions.
