EP4P Problems - Verizon Droid Charge

After a few days with the EP4P leak, I have some problems with it:
1. The phone randomly becomes extremely laggy. For example I am browsing in Opera and suddenly the screen takes 2 seconds to respond to something and scrolling is really choppy. This also happens in the launcher, xda app etc.
2. I seem to lose service a lot more than before. Call quality and data dropping have improved, but I get "searching for service" a ton more. Usually, data still persists (so it will say 4g on the top with zero bars, calls won't work, but data will be fast as usual).
3. Randomly, my phone enters a "no text mode" of sorts where I can receive text messages, but I cannot send them. When I try to send a text, I immediately get a message that it failed (i have 3-4 bars at the time usually). This happens until I reboot the phone.

If it was me, I would clear everything a couple times & reflash.
I have had absolutely ZERO problems with the latest setup.

You are aware that wiping more than once does nothing, right?

If your phone has reboot issues please help out

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.

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...

Problem with MMS

I've had a lot of problems with receiving and sending MMS lately.
As always, T-Mobile has been no help and has said everything is working fine on their end.
When i try to send it just says "sending and never does anything" and i usually don't get people's pictures.
I've even tried to change ROMS and still have the same problem. I'm currently on the ICS AOSP one.
Any help?

Did you lose your imei when flashing? That is typically the only reason to not be able to send texts if you have service otherwise.
Are you sure that you have your data turned on? MMS won't send or receive without it

Factory reset/data wipe. It sucks to have to set the phone back up but Im sure it will help.
Whenever that happens I send an mms to myself. Somebody from t mobile said that would fix it, maybe in the my touch 4g forum, had no idea why though. Something worth trying at any rate

I actually just did that yesterday. Didn't solve the problem. I also reflashed AOKP. That didn't work. I restored to a backup of Milestone 6-1. That didn't work. I reflashed KJ6 modem. That didn't work. I flashed KG4 modem. That also didn't work. So far the only thing that seems to give me some data is running it on 2G only. I think on Monday, I'm going in to get the phone exchanged for a new one, and I'll just do a fresh flash right out of the box to ICS from stock GB. (Of course, following all the directions.)

Using the heimdall one click to stock kj6 flash back to stock. Then use the antonx one click, it sounds like you just have dust bunnies that needs sweeping up.

I'd thought about doing that, I guess I'll try it right now, since I've got time. Would I be able to just install SGS Kernel Flasher and flash AntonX's kernel from that after using Heimdall to stock rooted?
EDIT: Sorry I'm kind of hijacking this thread, but I Heimdalled back to stock, but I'm still having the connectivity issues. I have full 4G signal, but data is crawling to the point where the connection times out before I can even load anything. When I set it to GSM only (EDGE), I can get data, but not the 4G speeds I'm paying for. Reverting to Plan A and getting it replaced on Monday. (I hear it's possible it's a SIM card problem too...) Thanks for the help though.

No connection other than wifi, need help

Ok so first a little back ground... I have an at&t skyrocket, rooted and unlocked running gb on the t-mobile network. I have also flashed the blaze radio and it was working great. All of a sudden last night I have no Internet unless I am on wifi. I have good signal strength, batt is charged, tried several areas, wife's stock blaze phone is working perfectly so it's not the network. I noticed yesterday I started having issues after a spam email was open while I was trying to delete it. After that I had several missed texts,mms not working. I down loaded 2 anti viruses and neither came up with anything. I don't want to wipe the phone unless it's my last option, is there anyway to tell if my internet connection is being blocked? Maybe that spam email has hijacked my connection? When I check the widget I have for network, it's green and shows Tmobile 4g, is there anyway to tell if I do have network connectivity and it's just blocked?

You might want to take a look at your APN settings and make sure nothing malicious has messed around with them.
Mine quit working one time and I bout pulled my hair out trying to figure out what was going on. As it turns out, something had changed my APN to use a proxy server. Once I removed that one setting from the APN it started working again.

You can always try an "in place" flash of the ROM that your are currently running. Simply flash it with only cache and dalvik cache wipes and see if that clears up the problem. If you have heavily modified your setup you will lose the mods, but that should fix the problem. I don't really think that the spam email you received, has anything to do with the problem you are experiencing. I am not a big believer in coincidence but this is an exception. I think it was just the luck of the draw that it started acting up after you received the spam email. I could be wrong, but in either case the in place flash should clear up the problem.

How do I get TWRP on this? I tried the ICS one from the TWRP Installer thread but that didn't work. Installing via Goo Manager is not an option without a network (No compatible Sim).

Awesome update on 4g data, Erikmm! I get to experience JB now. I can hold on to the S3 upgrade for another year. Slim JB on our phone is almost as snappy as JB on S3. If we can fix the wifi, it would be perfecto.

sweet! i will have to pick this phone back up and use it again.....
Here's something that may go for dev-bug, but...
I wiped my phone and applied the SlimBean R2 installer as well as the SlimGApps. Full factory reset, all that fun. So hopefully no remnants causing these symptoms:
Yesterday I ran Waze (driving/mapping app) on my SlimBean for ~45 minutes without ever getting a GPS lock. Rebooted, tried again for another 30 minutes. No GPS connection.
The GPS Status app says that it's not seeing any satellites at all... so apparently my GPS isn't even trying, as my phone with ICS normally sees 10-12 satellites here. After testing with GPS Status, reflashed SlimBean, reflashed SlimGApps, checked GPS Status again. Still not a single satellite seen. Recovery, flashed YAGF2.zip (Yet Another GPS Fix 2), system, GPS Status, still nothing.
I should probably note that the cell location has been working... Waze was giving guesses as to where I was currently located based on my cell towers. Obviously Wifi location isn't working without Wifi, so the question I have is... are other people using JB actually having GPS satellite locks, or is this another current JB bug? I ask because OP doesn't mention GPS issues, though people reported reboots when GPS tries to take effect. The only GPS thing I did before was making sure that Internal GPS was actually set as the GPS source in Location services, since that wasn't checked... Internal GPS was the only option, but it wasn't checked.
If you need logs or something, let me know what you'd like. Thanks.

Our phone is infamous for its horrible GPS, try this GPS patch and see what happens, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963915
Already had that downloaded. Let's give it a shot, and...
Reboot to recovery, flashing agps.patch.google.build.nossl.twrp.v3.1.zip, reboot to system, GPS Status sees...
Nothing. Still just "Looking for GPS location..." with no Compass (heading stays at 0 degrees) or satellites seen.
One more thing. I know it's been noted that the phone audio only works through the speaker, but music also only comes out through the speaker. At least, plugging into the headphone jack didn't make MortPlayer Audio Books actually come out through the car's sound system, it was still coming out of the speaker.

Read the notes if it doesn't work, let the GPS stay on. Try other methods on the notes.
Note 4:
This works with ANY ROM unless the ROM has aGPS and/or GPS disabled in the code. This happens with CMx nightlies and some betas! I cannot fix this, neither can you.

So... as I'm asking, has anyone actually confirmed that GPS (not location services, but GPS itself) is enabled and working? The build.prop tweak that it suggests (Note 13) doesn't appear to apply, since neither this nor ICS (AOKPm6r5) have the ro.ril.def.agps.mode forced.
Also, note that as I said before, I've let GPS Status or Waze run for going on an hour without it seeing a single satellite... GPS is NOT ENABLED on my JB. Just like Wifi, except it's marked as 'on'. I'm wondering if this is my phone hating life and needing to offer up some logs, or if this is a standard issue. -_-
That being said, when I turned off GPS and just used cell location, I had my first random reboot on second location services call (Yelp's location check). After it finished rebooting, told it to start trying to use GPS again and it went back to just guessing wildly as to my location based on cell towers without ever using GPS (GPS Status never showed in the notification bar, no little coda to signify GPS lock attempt), but also without the reboots, so that was nice.

Anyone else having these problems?

First off I would like to say I love the phone EXCEPT for these two major problems. First one....I will pull the phone out of my pocket and it will have put itself into airplane mode. It will cut the bluetoooth on and sometimes cut the location off. I have had it where the screen is on when I pull it out of my pocket and sometimes it will still be locked and this happens. Today it cut the flashlight on and the screen was still locked. I use a pin code for my lock screen. Second and the major one is dropped calls. I have probably made 13 calls and 7 have dropped. On one of them it dropped 3 times on the same person. Sometimes when I pull the phone away from my face after a dropped call or a successful call, the notification bar will be pulled down. Its like the proximity sensor isn't working. I use cricket and have had none of these problems on my S6. I guess when I get time tomorrow I'm going to factory reset but I was just wondering if anyone else was having these problems? Maybe I got a dud.
Maybe your issue is related to mine.
Press the top left of your phone, right next to the power button, a bit hard. Does it make it go on/off? If so, maybe the force when it's in your pants is causing it to turn on and do random functions.

I haven't had time yet. I'm going to try it possible tonight or tomorrow morning when I have more time.
Just did a factory reset. I will find out in the next couple of days if it worked. Will post results. Hope it does. Like it as much as my S6.....except the camera. The camera isn't bad but the S6 is great.
does the factory reset default back to the original out of box software or does it default to the latest version?

It's going to reset to the last ROM that was installed on the phone. Once you update the phone you can't go back. Well you can but you need a custom recovery and the original ROM to flash.
I did the factory reset and seemed to help my problem. No pocket weirdness and calls seem to be fine. Will give it a few more days and post results.
Dropped call
I agree with your second issues: dropped calls.
Even i'm facing the same issue. More than 10 calls were dropped in a day, did factory reset - worked fine for 2-3 days and same issues appeared.
it seems to me something with signal issues.
One of the post in another thread points out the signal issues with the phone.

I'm not having any dropped calls so far but the dialer is still a bit weird. No random airplane mode or anything else while in my pocket though.

im running cricket but i havent noticed any droppped calls or maybe its just i dont talk much lol oh btw some text messages take a bit to send
Not sure if it makes a difference but I use Nova Launcher as my launcher and Rocketdialer as my dialer....and I'm getting normal behavior. The signal is slightly weaker than my nexus 4 was giving me in wcdma mode but that's the only quirk I've noticed.
