For those of you who are experiencing the random reboot issue on the stock rom, would anyone be willing to do a factory reset without installing any apps and testing for a while to see if they still have the reboot?
I want to find out if this issue is a problem related to specific g2x's, or is triggered by some kind of software installed.
The reason why I want to test this out is because I have gone through 6 phones(waiting for 7th), and I can not recreate this problem on any of them running the same restored nandroid backup.
Also, for those of you who have gone through multiple g2x's, have you had phones with reboots and also ones without the issue
Since it seems LG is not recognizing this as a known issue, it most likely won't be fixed in the update they announced. Therefore its up tous to try find the cause of this issue whether it is device specific or due to certain apps installed.

6 phones? Did you ever once suspect the software?

I thougjt I clarified in my original post that none of mine had the reboot issue and I was not able to recreate it either.

If it a software related issue, it couldn't be the ROM since some people have this issue on other roms. It could be the kernel but all g2x's come with the same kernel out of the box IIRC and only some people are having the issue.

I never had a reboot issue in Arizona and I just got back to Ohio today and i have randomly rebooted 4 times today and I had to do a battery pull this morning... crack that nut for me
I went through 2 G2x's.
First one stock, rooted, and CM7 - all ways would reboot.
Second one, stock, rooted and CM7, all ways would reboot, so I tried it stock and CM7 without any added on apps - same results both stock and CM7.

It seems that people who are getting reboots, are getting reboots across multiple g2x's, while people who aren't getting reboots, don't have the issue across multiple g2x's. So there must be some kind of installed software related thing that is not playing nice and causing the phone to reboot itself. There isn't enough info in order to make a definite diagnosis to the source of the problem yet which is why I made this topic.
I feel that it's definitely software b/c I've been running the leak without any reboot issues. They still need to also fix the kernel too

what is confusing me is if it is software, why is it only affecting some people? the leak is running a different kernel so that could possibly be why you aren't getting reboots, but something must be triggering it that the people who have the issue have down/installed etc.

Orrrrr...perhaps it related to the network somehow? Strength of signal or need for the phone to switch between 4G/2G? Or perhaps trying to go to the ever elusive 3g (since I still haven't seen a report of someone actually seeing 3g in the notification bar). Maybe folks with reboots are in fringe areas and the phone oscillates between 4g and 2g and doesn't like it? Maybe those folks use their phones differently...leave BT on all the time and run apps that access GPS regularly. Or any other number of possibilities.
It's too easy to blame an app.
I know that one of the barcode scanning apps caused my phone to lock up, and sometimes reboot.

Thats why I'm asking people to participate in this experiment. By eliminating variables one by one we can try to single out the cause.
EDIT: also, the 4g signal shows for both 4g and 3g. The only way u can tell which one you are on is by going to "about phone". UTMS is 3g then there hspa(+).

Mine actually rebooted randomly very often. It didn't matter what rom I had (Stock, Eagle, CM7). I tried everything.... factory resets, removed apps, etc. It's just very random when it decides to reboot. Sometimes when I'm using google maps, sometimes when I'm trying to text, or when I'm playing with an app. It got so annoying that I had to return the phone.
I noticed that the times my G2x has rebooted was when it got hot. For example, if I charge it, talk and surf at the same time it will start getting hot and either freeze or reboot. Sometimes just charging it will freeze it.
I'm trying out a new battery and so far the phone seems to run cooler...its 25.2c right now and I've been playing with the phone for a while...with the stock battery I dont remember the temperature below 27c ever...sometimes with heavy use I would see it go as high as 43c...
it's only been one day with the new battery but I'll let you guys know how it behaves the next few days.

Well android leaves apps open. There is no exit button on the apps that kills it. I religiously kill tasks and check to see what's running. Is there any type of reporting app that will tell you what was running at the time of the reboot like maemo/N900 has?
As far as I know, I have not had one reboot. Has not been a full week though. If it was rebooting in the night, I guess I wouldn't know it.
Hell, I haven't had any real probs. My Gps was way off, but I rebooted it outside and it's been dead on since.
I love my G2X.
I just got an exchanged phone due to reboot/shutdown issues. I did not install any 3rd party software, and i had a shutdown that required a battery pull while it was on the factory charger.
Not sure if I should keep exchanging until I get one that works or not...

I've done some searches on unbricking Xoom tht coursed by Partitioning SD using ROM MANAGER, seems theres no way to unbrick, but i've seen a few ppl saying disconnecting battery and reconnecting would do the job?
Has any1 tried?
THanks
I highly doubt it. Think about what they are doing when they "partition" the sd card in the xoom. What they are really doing is wiping the entire memory of the xoom. Its like deleting your entire hard drive on a computer and expecting a disconnect of the battery to fix it. By all means though, I hope I'm wrong so I can stop seeing 5 threads a day about someone doing it.

No root issues though, lol
Only have 2 issues which have already been mentioned in the Community Forums.
1. Install or move a program to your SDCard, icon stays on phone, but phone thinks program has been uninstalled ! (This apparently was the same problem the original Atrix 4G also has)
2. 8GB internal memory, only 4GB shown.. install anything on your phone filling 500MB, and your phone will come back stating there in no room left !
To me, these are 2 HUGE issues they need to resolve quickly.

Do you mean 8gb sdcard memory? IIRC, the Atrix 2 only has 4.5gb internal storage

No.. internal. Look at full specs on PhoneArena and GSMArena.
Built-In Storage : 8192MB
Correct me if I'm wrong .. thats 8GB .. not 4GB.
Attached are 2 screenshots .. one from PhoneArena, other from GSMArena.
I have issues with bluetooth when connected to my car stereo. Most of the time, occasionally it works just fine, when listening to anything by bluetooth in my car I get drop outs in the audio that last any where between .5 seconds and 3 seconds. They sometimes happen in a pattern of a long drop followed by a short drop withing .5 seconds. It does not seem to effect phone calls but that leads to another problem.
While listening to an internet radio station and a call came in while in the car the radio (iheartradio) kept playing after I answered the call from the car stereo touch screen. I had to kill the radio app in order to keep the audio out of the call. The other side told me they heard my radio over the phone.
Random reboot
Random reboots while listening to any audio app (dogcatcher, Pandora, stock music player). I am using wired headphones and the phone will just randomly reboot. Very annoying
Interesting, any certain amount of time before it reboots? I use xiialive lite with zero cut outs or reboots. Been rocking it for awhile, are you streaming and recording at the same time?

Those are the last two places I'd expect spot on info from.
Looking at the official Motorola website under the specs for this phone, it does list 8gb as the internal storage capacity.....but it also has a footnote that states:
Available user memory varies due to the configuration of the phone, which varies by service provider.
Click to expand...

So I decided to check AT&T's website and found that it says "up to 8gb"
So based on the above listed information on the two websites that really matter, it's safe to assume that the reason it's not showing 8gb in available internal storage is due to AT&T's configuration.
I saw that also.. but the fact is.. we can't use it. If you go to "Settings" "Storage" .. look under Application Storage. Mine states 4.13GB .. now here is the bug .. install 500MB of stuff (anything) .. once you reach 500.. watch your phone state you're out if memory !!!!
You can't move your apps to the SDCard, because, if you have to reboot your phone .. it will keep the icon on your screen/listing .. but the phone will come back with an error stating it was uninstalled .. yet all you did was move it from Phone to SDCard.
Those are 2 major bugs that they really need to resolve .. yet the funny thing is, the original Motorola Atrix 4G had the same bugs.. you'd think they would have learned from there first mistake.

I read that somewhere and it worked for now atleast. I think since DST moved the time... this might have caused the issue. But can't say for sure. Purely dumb guess and error.

I understand and know that, but that wasnt the issue I was addressing. It was your claim that the phone is only reporting half of available internal storage, just 4 gb of 8gb, which simply isnt true. But you can bring up other unrelated issues and ignore that if you want, lol.

I usually got around 20 minutes in but it would always reboot at random times beyond that. I gave up and returned the phone for a new one. No issues so far. Keeping fingers crossed.

I'm pretty sure it's 6gb internal memory + 2gb on the included micro sd card. Of that 6gb, 1+gb is being used by the OS and pre-loaded apps. The phone seems to load everything that's downloaded onto the 2gb sd card, so it will fill up pretty quick.

When you installing a program and the phone alert that "there is on room left", then you can re-install this program again, then it will be successful.

my guess is that it's 8gb internal
- 1gb /system

not sure on the downloaded stuff though. check settings > applications to see what the default installation location is.
Atrix 1 vs Atrix 2
Can't really complain but I found this funny...
I have both Atrix 1 and 2, Atrix 1 has the CM7 rom and scores 6000+ using AnTuTu Benchmark, Atrix 2 is obviously stock and only scores around 4000 using the same benchmark.
I will try to wait patiently for movement in the rom arena. It's hard, I'm a flash junkie.
I jumped ship from the iPhone 5 to an SG III from VZW. The iPhone 5 wasn't cutting it for me. I have a few questions though...
1. It appears I've been affected by the external SD card issue. I purchased a 32Gb PNY card and every time I try and use it, the phone tells me the card is bad. Annoying but it's there. Any ROMs resolve this issue?
2. I rooted and installed TWRP successfully. I've since tried CM 10.1 and Liquid to try and make use of the 4.2.2 version of Android. Both ROMs give me a "Waiting for Network" error even though I can make and receive calls as well as text messages. Anything to worry about there?
3. Since installing both ROMs the space on my internal flash has dwindled. Down from 10Gb or so to about 4Gb and I can't find any of the files I've copied to the internal flash. Do I need to format the internal flash or is something else amiss?
4. Lastly, every time I plug my phone into my laptop it keeps trying to load the stupid VZW Samsung software even though I've told it not to. It constantly does it and disconnects the phone then retires. Even installing the software does not make this issue go away...
I've restored to a backup of my rooted 4.1.2 system and all is well again. Am I missing something here or is this normal?

I am not aware of the "external SD card issue", are you sure its not just a bad sdcard? I've seem them fail on more than one occasion, sent it back to the manufacturer for a replacement. Maybe you should try reformatting it in a PC first. Make sure to use FAT and not NTFS or something else.
The "Waiting on Network" error could be related to the CDMA subscription settings. Using CM 10.1 go to the Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> More... -> Mobile Networks -> CDMA subscription and set to "RUIM/SIM". I've heard this was a bug on some ROMs but personally I've never seen it.
And finally when it comes to the internal flash you may be seeing an issue related to moving from Android 4.1 to 4.2 and back again. I believe this is related to the multi-user support. When using CM10.1 all of your internal flash stuff is moved to (or mounted at?) /data/media/0 and then there are issues when going back & forth to older versions. You'll need to check on that.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried setting the "CDMA Subscription" to SIM and the issue persists between reboots on the phone. I'm not sure whats causing it. As for the multiple directories and one being /0 I'll look into that. The SD card, I guess it could be bad, I'll check on it after I am down migrating data to the phone.

If the CDMA Subscription doesn't stick then it's likely a problem with that ROM. I know that some nightlies had that bug and then it had been corrected and then came back again. I'm currently running the Match 04 2013 "unofficial" and it does not have that issue.

I just flashed the M2 release of CM 10.1 and at first it gave me the "Waiting for Network" message. I set the Network setting to SIM and powered down the phone. Removed the SIM and powered it. Ensured the phone retained the SIM setting and then powered it down. Replaced the SIM and powered it up and the message was gone. I verified that I had 4G and could access the play store and other data sources over the network. Once that was I good I enabled WiFi and all seems to well.
The issue I was having with my SD card is gone as well. I've moved all my data to the SD card and I am no longer getting random disconnect errors in regards to the SD card. Weird, but it seems resolved.
Now if I just get my laptop to stop freaking out whenever I plug in my phone and actually let the phone stay connected to my laptop I'd be happy. Thanks again for you replies, they've been most helpful.

Thanks for the reply. I tried enabling the hidden menu as described in that post but nothing happens. Do I need to dial the number or just type it? I googled for it and tried a few other numbers but nothing comes up.
I can get the hidden menu to enable by typing the number in the dialer as exactly posted in the thread but the next number no longer does anything. Are you on 4.1.2? I have no issues connecting to the computer on 4.1.2.
Edit: Which 4.1.2? Ota or leak?

I'm running CM 10.1 M2 (4.2.2).
I had the problem with my sd card as well. To fix the issue I took out my card and got the mirror sd adapter then placed it In my computer. It wouldn't read at all. I tried putting it and out multiple times but it wouldn't read. After a couple hours of leaving it set there I tried again and the comp read it and I quickly reformatted the card and have been using it since no issues.

As an update to my own thread. I dumped CM 10.1 M2, too many issues with it. The screen would flash black and then show the desktop, I was having to reload it every hour and Bluetooth barely worked. I'll wait for stable before trying again. The issues with SD cards is still there... I've tried 3 32Gb SD cards and none of them work in the phone. All are known good cards. I install a 16Gb card and I get no errors. Sucks. I might try a 64Gb card but I'll need to buy one first. For now, it's back too rooted 4.1.2 which isn't so bad.
I'm not sure if this is right section, but here we go:
So, I was thinking on how my RAZR i came back to work like new when I made a "wipe data/master reset" in it and installed just the necessary. Then I was thinking that a lot of apps that I used to keep in phone probably uses CPU, battery and syncing more that it really needs and came to mind the following: will my phone keep working like new if I keep those extra apps in a SD and unmout it whenever I'm not using the apps from it? (Keep in mind, this is the question).
What I think is that if I unmount the SD, the apps would automatically stop running, incapable of even generating notifications, syncing and using CPU, and the phone will be like those apps never were installed at all. Completing this topic, is there any way to install the app directly into the SD?
Sorry my english...

i have never seen anyone try this before, but i could speculate on the outcome.
-it would likely make your phone run faster longer.
-the phone will still slow down some over time just from normal use, it is mostly unavoidable.
-you may encounter some issues with the phone by doing this though, as android will use the card just because it is there, then when you unmount it, there could be an issue when it cant find/read/write to those files.
-as far as i know, you cant install an app directly to the sd, you have to move it there.
just my opinion, hope that helps
Thanks for your reply...so
I really should consider that it wouldn't run like new forever, but since my phone was gone from an other master reset to a really annoying lost of performance (installing apps without any criteria in those lasts months, just to find the good ones) I think that this method could help to keep testing apps but without losing performance right because doing this.
Also, do you can think which could be the errors the system may face when unmounting the sd card and still using the phone? Could the system try to communicate with the app (instead of the inverse, that I am discarding, cause the app, in theory, won't be even running if the sd isn't mounted)?

Don't put your launcher on SD whatever you do.

I already saw something about that, what's the problem in putting the launcher in the sd?
