Did you do a full wipe at first before flashing?

Its a known problem with the G2x. Some custom roms and kernels help a bit. But its the main reason I'm ditching this phone. Its a great phone for those who don't suffer with this issue.

Luckily I've never had this problem ever. Apparently from what I've read around here and few other forums are that their are faulty devices and it takes a few replacements to get a good handset.
Also, maybe getting recent new made device would negate those bugs. Mine was manufactured 8/11/11 and not one bug what so ever.
Good Luck

Random reboots are almost always app related. What apps have you installed? I have been running the stock GB and versions of it with no problems whatsoever. Never had a reboot or any other problems.

This is a common issue with the G2x. When the phone came out a lot of people complained about it and got different phones but I suggest flashing a custom rom like Weapon G2x and it could help fix the problem. If that doesn't work replace it at tmobile or switch for a another phone.

REBOOTS and LAG Caused by Deoxpt ??

I was just looking in the Optimus 2X forum and noticed some threads about a lag fix due to a LG caused error from the factory where they are enabling Deoxpt to run on the fly instead of during boot, could be the reason we boot so quickly and also the cause of the random reboots, lock ups, and lag. Here is the thread below. can anyone confirm this?

I believe that particular bug is only on the o2x because it has an LG customized android build, where ours is pure stock (save from the camera App)

That's wrong. It's not pure stock. Essentially it's just a vanilla themed Optimus 2x build, except for the different RIL.

Can you cite your source on that, I haven't seen anywhere that supports that, everything I've seen is that its vanilla android, hence why the file structure is different from the o2x and a lot of the o2x dev stuff wont work on the g2x, not trying to sound like a d-bag, I'm genuinely curious

I have had zero reboots, zero lag, and zero lockups with my G2x... I'm extremely happy with it stock - I've rooted it but I haven't done anything else to it.
And its vanilla Android but it still has some LG customizations in it... hence why we aren't running 2.3 yet. Honestly I don't think there's a single phone BESIDES the Nexus series that has true vanilla Android.
Hrmmm...okies

So based on acree it seems we have a LG rom themed in vanilla which probably is the reason for the lock ups, lag, and reboot. I need confirmation for the Deoxpt issue. Thanks everyone who chimed in

3rd day with phone and so far no reboots. Do get some lag every now and again though. Kind of makes me think screen is unresponsive, but if I give it a few seconds it'll receive command. For example I'm running swype, and 2x yesterday I swyped something and like a couple seconds later it popped up what I wrote. Then again I was running paradise island in the back...hope it's just a software thing.

(Q) lockup even after GB

Ok so even before GB my phone would lockup and forces me to do a restart just to get it working, and now even after the update that still happens. Am I the only one who is having that problem?
Mine is doing the same things but even more than before GB. It doesn't reboot randomly but it lags (in the browser and sometimes when using the keyboard - I use SwiftKey) and freezes a lot to the point of me having to remove the battery.
I'm new to Android but I think I'm ready to get a custom rom on this. Any advice?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
after the GB updates, mine is behaving not that different. It now restarts itself when i plug it in for charging and plug out from charging. Anyone having this kind of problem?
Tmobile tech team is now not doing the exchange any more, instead they are telling me to go to nearest store to investigate the problem.....looks like i'm stuck with this device......
with the GB update, the battery looks good. It does not drain out like it used to be before.
Yeah its really getting on my nerves. lastnight it locked up so much i just switched it off and went on my iphone. i might call customer care and get a replacement and see if that works better.
Any of you try and to a factory reset?
I've been running since the day of the release and the phone locked up only once while left on the dash and got extremely warm.
Every issue I've had has been fixed, the phone runs unbelievably well for me.
yea i factory reset and it still happens. only thing i cant complain on is improved battery life, but what good is that when my POS phone locks up lol.
The lockups are a hardware issue. It still exists even on different Kernels. Just request a replacement.

I've had lock ups before. Flash cwm and start trying some roms. I no longer have any problems and there are really some great roms out for this phone. Just make sure to wipe everything and backup each time to be safe. There's no reason not to try them, much of then are far better performance wise than stock.

One of the options in Titanium Backup's schedules is to include a reboot after the backup.
haha ya but some of those times it doesn't boot back up lol. I'm probably going abck to root world.
i'm extremely happy with gingerbread though i never had to go through the big problems of froyo. my only problem is occasional lag and also my lock screen lags terribly but those are only minor annoyances not really problems

Froyo wasn't the problem either. In fact I'm still running a Froyo rom as my daily driver. It was all the bloatware. As soon as I got rid of all the unnecessary stuff T-Mobile had preinstalled I stopped having issues with my phone.
i still have every single bloatware app on my phone and i have no problems

This is not necessarily true. There are different models of G2X, what the differences are I don't know but the LG Update Tool will brick one of them (though it can be fixed).

First off, 1080p video is only through LG cam; no other camera app is capable of it on the G2X. And yes, the official 2.3.3 build removed the LG camera, replacing it with the (significantly weaker) AOSP camera. However, a team of devs has gotten the LG camera working on 2.3.3 and is currently trying to get it onto 2.3.5.
Am pretty happy with it even tho I didn't start having major problems like rebooting untill I upgrade to 2.3 but its not really a big deal because it only happens once in a blue. My friend on the other hand I feel bad because he upgraded to gingerbread and still has every problem known to the g2x. And the reason why I feel bad is cause I told him how great the phone was so he went out the purchased it at full price. Shortly after I joined u wonderful folks at xda and started reading the nightmares

I absolutely love my G2x, but Im having a few issues

My first issue with my G2x is that when I put my phone in my pocket somtimes and I ull it out to chck for any new text or anything. It has poweed off on its own and I have to power it back on. This usually happens like 3 or 4 times a day.
Second issue is that anytime I make or receive a phone call my phone automatically has the speakerphone on. This happen been happening since day one, rather it is rooted or not.
Third is not actually with the G2x, its more to do with Tmobile.. I have had three replacement phones since I bought my G2x and I asked Tmo CC if I could get a different phone since I have had so many problems with the G2x and have had three replacements within the last two months. And they told me the only other phone I could get was the Sidekick 4G... WTF!!!!!!!! If I wanted to downgrade I would just use my G2 or G1.
Has anyone else had either of these issues, if so how can I fix it? Cuz I refuse to get the Sidekick 4G and dont want to keep having to get relacement.
With TMO it seems like you must get a little lucky. It all depends on the representative you get. I have had better success with being nice and speaking with the next in command. TMO has far surpassed my expectations many times.
What os are you running? Stock? Is it rooted? Have you tried cm7?
I was lucky and got a phone with little to no issues. I do know some folks that had the black screen of death ran cm7 and it went away.

My current G2x is rooted running Weapons 3.0 with the ICS Theme and Droid Bionic Boot Animation. But the others were stock with the Clockmod Recovery flashed to them.
I still get the problems in stock too.I ran MIUI for a while, it didn't have those problems. I installed weapon to get wifi calling. I think CM7 based roms don't suffer from the issues.

I use to have the MyTouch 4g and I had to have it replace 3 times with in a 2 month period. T-Mobile allowed me to replace it with the G2X. So I would contact T-Mobile again and talk to a supervisor. It's better to talk with them and they can help you get a better phone. All they have to do is see how many times you replace the phone. They can look it up and then help you get a new better phone. If they don't threaten to go somewhere else, i'll bet they will help then.

Lol, yea well Im going to have to do that cuz it is getting very annoying to have to turn off the speaker everytime I make or receive a call. And the random powering off is even more annoying.

For the random powering off, have you tried different roms. I'm currently using the Bionix Reloaded rom with the dragon kernel specifically for this rom. I haven't had any real issues. My phone has rebooted twice first week but it was a data issue. Mr. Apocalypse is currently working on the issue and will have a new release out soon. I haven't had any more issues after the first week. Ive had the rom for about 3 weeks.
Also, I did noticed when I used SetCpu and overclocked my phone it heated up really quickly so I had to set it back to it regular clock speeds.
Select "stay awake" in your settings/applications/development. That should help with your screen not turning on when it sleeps also know as (SOD) screen of death. Download the free app "Stay Awake" from the market and you will never have a random reboot again. Its bad on battery life but its much better then missing calls,texts,or alarm clocks.

And its not the ROM your using its the hardware LG built the phone with. I have a LG smart TV that reboots after prolonged use too. I've tried every 3rd party ROM out there and still had random reboots. The best fix I found is my prior post and I run weapon 3.0 with faux kernel.

go for latest eagles blood (his own version not the kang) with latest Trinity elp kernel. Not had one reset, shut down, or hardly any problem at all. I only use roms where I have zero issues, not sure why anyone would do any different.
Honestly with your problems though (as long as your wiping everything when you flash) seem like an actual problem with the phone for sure.

Unresponsive parts of screen?

My phone sometime the lower portion becomes unresponsive and sometimes when in an app I can no longer scroll down it only allows scrolling left and right: even in apps like Gmail.
I'm using stock ROM, I'm tested the issue with several kernels but no result. The problem gods away when I lock the screen and unlock I again.

Same issue while on stock GB and ICS, stock kernel. Problem goes away when screen is locked.
On average it bugs me a few times a week when I'm typing. Might have happened many more times, but as locking the screen clears the problem away, it could have gone undetected.
Weird never experienced on my nexus s i've tried GB .. ICS and a whole bunch of ROM+ KERNEL combination my screen works perfect maybe it's only affecting a particular bunch of hand sets .. idk? :/
it happens to me every now and then, usually while typing. generally i have to turn it off completely to fix it, which really sucks.
GB 2.3.7 and whatever the last GB matrix kernal. nothing running over or under.
Ya I have the same issue but for be it only happens when I plug in a USB or auxiliary cable ..oddly not my headphones (klipsch s4)
I've been debating calling into Samsung but haven't had time! Has anyone had luck!?
Edit: I'm running stock 2.3.6 i9020a
