Hi all,
Since updating my O3D to the latest firmware via the LG Update tool, it has crashed a few times (at least three), so bad that I had to reboot.
It happens when I use the keyboard. Twice while typing text messages and once in Dolphin web browser.
Keyboard and messaging app were the stock ones from LG.
It seemed like the keyboard 'app' crashed and wouldnt respond to presses any more. I could press the home button at the bottom of the screen, but the keyboard stayed on screen taking up space and everything move up to the top. If I held the home button I could switch apps but noting worked. Eventually I just held the power button and powered off. I had to choose power off twice before the phone did anything.
This was the same each time it crashed.
Anyone else seen problems like this? Never saw it before I updated the fw but then again I've only had the phone a couple of weeks.
This is my second update since having my Optimus 3D and yes this time I have noticed one problem that I didn't have before which is that if I leave my wi-fi enabled then the phone will reboot after about twenty minutes of it being on yet if I switch the phone off the phone works fine.
So yes it is possible the firmware update affected your phone in some way. In your case you could try a different keyboard app but in mine it is the built in wireless so no solution as yet but maybe a keyboard app and or alternative messenger app will help solve your problem.

I don't think its v10k doing this. I believe its ATK doing this.

same here I had problems once I updated from D to K and then 10J, the phone will just keep rebooting, I tried taking out the SD card as some have suggested but that still did not fix the issue, last night I totaly wiped the phone to Brand new condition, then re-installed everything via the market, No root and the phone so far has been working perfect, 14 hours no reboots with wifi set on always.
after updating to LGP920-V10k-SEP-17-2011 my phone reboots ever 20 min.
phone is completely wiped no root. just standard.
Not sounding good. I do have root on my phone and I also leave WiFi on from when I get home until when I go back to work and my phone doesn't reboot on its own.
The last time my phone crashed was Friday or Saturday but I havent used the keyboard that much since.

Maybe they are different revisions of the motherboard on the phone.
It is strange to help because i don't have any reboots.
Another thing I have noticed since the update, when typing text messages if I turn the phone to landscape mode, the screen doesn't rotate to match.
I have a few rotation glitches too I think they need to hurry up with GB update

To be honest, I didn't check into the whole Android version thing before I got the phone and it never bothered me, until now! Hopefully these bugs wont be present in GB.

I am in gb so guess the bugs are universal but solved my wifi issue by setting wifi to sleep when phone screen is off.

Hi all,
Few days ago I used Odin to go back to the stock Rom.
Since then the buttons p, mostly the back button, are randomly pressed when I'm not touching them.
I tried to use Odin again, flashed other roms and even restored the system to a Rom that worked fine, but the problem repeats in all of them.
Any ideas?
Tnx

Bad Hardware= warranty replacement.
This isn't the right place for this, but you can emulate something like this for pointless fun. Try running this command:
adb shell monkey 3000
and marvel as your phone flips out.
I have the same problem I saw a thread a while back saying that the problem stems from moisture in the phone

Interesting thing about the moisture, would explain why my phones search button will do this for 1/2 - 2 days and then stop for 1-2 weeks at a time.

ya I have the same thing with my search button. But it will press in storms of 10+ which is annoying but not as bad as home or back

I had it happen on my first Captivate with the back key, it actually freaked out so much the phone was unusable . As long as it can be reproduced they will replace it no questions asked. Just make sure you are on stock and have done a master clear.
Edit: this was without any moisture issues, before snow hit etc
I have the same problem when using 2.1 then flashed 2.2 and zero problem. you can try flash to fix it.
Hi, I started having similar problems. But with my Power button only. It doesn't press by itself, but when i press it sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. BUT it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem because the first time it happened, i tried reflashing the kernel and everything was back to normal again, after 2 months here comes the problem again. I was able to fix it after a Hard reset using *2767*3855#, but later on i decided to do a factory data wipe and the power button key started going bonkers again. So I tried doing the hard reset trick to try and fix it again, but sadly this time it didn't work. I also tried flashing back to stock, master clearing, wiping cache and dalvik cache, wiping data. Trying to bring everything back to stock. But the problem still persists, I can't find a solution. Is there some code that I can't seem to reset that's causing this kind of problem. Hope someone can help me. My phones unusable and it's making me go crazy trying to find the problem and fixing it

I was having the same problem with my home button. I tried everything above to fix it. The only thing that has worked so far is updating my phone to stock 2.2 using kies. My home button was acting up 2 to 3 times a day and now it hasnt acted once yet.

But wouldn't it make sense if the moisture also left the phone? The only thing that made up my mind of it being hardware was flashing to stock and having the search button click continuously immediately. I have had the problem on and since october. Usually once a month for a couple of days. I let it sleep in a rice bowl when it acts up

Ok so my phone just started doing this one day while I was running Cognition 4.x Don't remember the exact version. I then switched over to Firefly on version 2.7 and kept updating all the way through 3.0. It was doing it on firefly too.
It got pretty bad a few weeks ago so I started messing around with BLN and the haptic feedback. After cranking the haptic feedback up it seemed to quit doing it as much. For example before I started messing with stuff every time I turned the screen on the home button would go nuts till I pressed it several times. After I messed with the haptic feedback it would only do it about 1 out of every 5 times I'd turn the screen on.
Well tonight I flashed from firefly to 2.3, I'm running GR-9 and TalonDEV 0.1.3 and it hasn't done it at all tonight. It'll probably start after I post this, but so far so good on Gingerbread.
I don't know if any of that will help anybody else, but thought I'd throw my experience with it out there. If it starts acting up I'll post about it.
I've only had the phone for less than 24 hours and I'm ready to send it back. Someone help me out please.
My phone keeps shutting down randomly. I rooted, installed CWM (Yes the nvFlash), Installed Evils ROM from the dev section.
The phone shut down right before bed last night and it must have done it sometime through the night because I had to restart it in the morning. Today it turned off a couple of times and my logical thought was that it was the ROM.
I switched over to EaglesBlood 1.0.5 hoping it would be a little more stable. It took a little longer, but it still shut completely off.
Nevermind the battery life I just want it to stay on. I'm no genius, but I'm pretty decent with ADB and terminal if I can fix it. Let me know if I'm overlooking something.
this phone has several issues. check the rest of the forums. what you are experiencing is one of them and it only gets worse from here.....

I've read most of the issues. I was hoping there was a way to fix it. I talked to a customer service rep at the Tmo store today. He said there is supposed to be an update released by the end of the month.
I rooted so I never have to worry about releases. Usually Cyanogen and his team are all over this kind of stuff. (Cue G1)
I really wanna know why it's doing it and how to fix it.
You by chance have an app that flashes the home buttons as a notification? When I deleted that, my random shut offs dropped...
Is it shut down? Or is the screen black? I get the occasional black screen... if you hit the power button the screen gets a little brighter... if it's that you can just do a hard reboot, power+volume up

Still not working
Okay I think this will help out. I'm been trying different ROM's for a couple of weeks now in an effort to get this to stop this is what's happening.
1. The phone shuts off completely and you need to pull the battery out to get it to turn on with the power button.
2. The phone turns off during a call or during use and starts up again with the boot animation.
3. Shuts off while charging in the middle of the night or while on the car charger.
What app needs deleted or removed? How do I do it? I'd like to post the solution up for anyone having this same problem.

Download this Rom. It is based off of the GB update from LG and lets you keep root. It may solve your problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158513

Driving me insane. Doesn't matter what ROM I'm running, it does it 90% of the time for incomming and outgoing calls.
Anyone have any ideas?
Mine randomly does this as well. It's a rather unpleasant experience to have the speakerphone on @ your ear when someone responds to your answering the phone.
I've had mine turn on in the middle of a call once or twice. I thought I had somehow hit something not knowing it.
Had that problem. Believe it has something to do with the "car dock" mode. somehow it gets turned on or something. Don't really remember what I did other then try resetting it, pulling battery, or just smacking the crap out of it onto a table or something. I'm serious, not hard enough to break it but enough to fix it hehe. I'm actually pretty sure that's what I did lol.

Very annoying!

Same issue here. Running stock non-rooted GB. Also on wife's LG Phoenix. Could be something sent down from ATT?
Try going to settings - dock - remove check from Auto-launch. I'm wondering if it thinks for some reason it's docked and therefore defaulting to Speaker
Just found out that GoSMS was the problem. Updated on both phones and the problem is gone. They actually admitted to it with the update description.
I have the same issue. Went as far as flashing back to stock unrooted. Still occurred. I believe its a hardware problem with the usb on the phone. Something about the contacts crossing.

If you read the thread you would have seen that the two causes of the problem were dock mode and also go sms. Not to mention this was dug up from 3months ago
Thanks for your reply.
Guess I should have mentioned dock mode does not seem to be whats causing it on mine.
I understand this was dug up from 3 months ago, but I am having the issue now was good back then.
Same happens with me... i hav removed dock mode also but still have speaker always on..
any solutions?
I recommend root and custom rom. Never had this problem since then.

Okey I am having this problem on every rom whether its ics or gb.
The culprit is carhome app.I have be after this problem since I got my inspire. It gave me whole lot of trouble. Latest one is force auto-rotate screen.
Another thing is u need original inspire charger and usb. If u have anyone thing which is not original. Carhome app will cause problems. Unfortunately my inspire charger and USB r broken.
The only solution is to open the rom zip delete carhome.apk and carhomeluncher.
How I come to conclusion.
I charged my phone then flashed aospx rom everything was fine no auto speaker, no forced auto rotation but as soon as I connected my USB carhome app pops up and
All these problem started to happen again.

The Car Panel app was launching randomly, so I first froze it using root uninstaller, no more car panel launching, but my screen started randomly turning on while in sleep, so I completely uninstalled Car Panel, my screen still goes on sometimes, and it did not solve the speaker always on problem.

Once carhome starts there is no way to solve the problem.even after removing it problem remains.
Best solution is delete it from the zip before installing

I have found my screen won't stay off when I hold it up to my ear. Light sensor is very sensitive or my ear is shaped weird... Probably the later. I then think 'fat facing' because of this has attributed to random hangups and speaker phone engagements.

I have an unrooted HTC Inspire with stock GingerBread upgrade ROM. Recently for over 2 weeks, system started crashing on any random application from HTC sense to Gmail or even Firefox. I have tried both force close option and report but the phone becomes touch insensitive. I have pull out the battery and force a reboot. Sometimes the system is power saver mode, when I press the power button the screen doesn't illuminate and remains dark. I have to pull out the battery and reboot. I have tried plugging into the wall to see whether its a power issue but the screen still doesn't illuminate
I haven't installed any new application recently. There were numerous application updates that went through but nothing that stands out.
any help to debug this is much appreciated!
Did you update to gingerbread over the air?
Mine has been doing the same thing. I did the ota as soon as it came to my phone and never had issues till now. Today I was recording a video of my car and I couldn't stop it. nothing that I touched works I had to do a battery pull which sucks with a otter box defender.. After the reboot my brightness settings changed and it disabled background data. What's wrong?

Ok, the reason I ask is because I saw some people were having issues with the update and a factory reset solved it.
Have you tried a full restore? I had a similar problem with my Dell Streak. I had to fully reset/restore/return to factory settings. But the problems went away!
Managed to get myself one from the CPW yesterday afternoon, and since then I think my new phone has crashed about 150 times. Every time I open any browser app, it crashes. If I use the loud speaker then which back to earpiece while on a call, it crashes. The list goes on.
Anyone else experiencing anything like this?
I got mine from CPW and now had a single thing crash! A few apps have lagged for a second or two but that's becuase they haven't been updated I'm assuming.
But as far as the OS is concerned I have not had these problems. Maybe something went wrong during your update? I'd try a reset.

The camera app crashed multiple times even after a reboot.
Also, when I was trying to search contacts the google search crashed.
I'm also having seemingly random crashes. At least a few times a day. No pattern. Could be from pressing the power button. Watching a video on YouTube. Just typing into this box. Anything. I already tried doing a factory reset. No luck.
Maybe a bad flash? Reflash factory image if it still crashes, return it. I've been using mine since Monday, the only thing that crashed was Firefox Beta but that's fixed now with the new update.
Had my nexus 5 for about 3 days now.
It randomly restarts through out the day,
I'll be watching youtube videos with the youtube app I'll just watch the volume bar just go to 0 when I'm not even touching the volume buttons, I'll turn it back up only for it to auto turn back down.
Today I'm having issues with the camera, very time load the camera and try to take a picture, it will just freeze and the phone will reboot.
I've also had issues with the WiFi connecting to my network, like I have to trick it into connecting.
I want to love this phone but all of this random crap is pissing me off.
