I know there are countless threads related to G2x Problems but none of the threads are focusing on isolating the reasons of Freezing Issue. I have recently upgraded my phone from Galaxy S Vibrant to G2x and i have to say i love the hardware and performance. Only Issue for me is random freezing.
After using the phone for 2 weeks and trying 3 roms
1. Stock
2. EB 1.04
3. Dark Sinister 1.1
I have come to a conclusion that kernel and rom is not the solution. At least not for me.
So i will try to solve the problem using hardware testing.
From my past 2 weeks experience.
1. Phone Freezes at night during charging
2. Phone Freezes when ever i turn off/on wifi and bluetooth and gps and Data (4g/3g) (Still have to figure out which of them is the cause. Cause i usually turn all off when i need to save battery).
Test Day 1
For Reason 1
I am using SetCpu and have changed Min from 216 to 312Mhz. I am trying this because i think very low cpu usage in standby for a very long period causes the phone to freeze. Its a Hunch i am not sure.
For Reason 2
I will keep wifi, Bluetooth and GPS off.
I will keep 4g/3g Data On all the time.
To My Surprise its been 16 hours no freeze. It includes charging at night. Lets see how long i can go without a freeze. Upon freezing i will make some changes.
Update 31/5/2011 (Test Day 2)
Ok its been more than 40 hours and not a single crash...
I removed the following possibilities as well....
It wont crash upon excessive usage.
Also Normal Heat up does not cause the crash.
As i have been playing Samurai II Vengeance all day long... Until I ended it. Several times charging along playing. I even played it on TV using HDMI. Not a single crash. I used to have around 3 crashes a day on stock rom when i unboxed my new G2x.
I also started using GPS from today. So lets see how it goes. I will update it every 24 hour.
Update 3/6/2011 (Test Day 5)
Ok i am considering Random Freezing On standby as solved because i havent had a single freeze at night after setting CPU Clock at 312 MHz using SetCPU. There are also other comments that back up my solution. I am considering this the solution of one problem.
2nd Issue of freezing while using cell phone apps is because of certain applications that are either buggy or not compatible with tegra Platform. For that i will start another thread with individual application testing for all apps that can cause the system to freeze or crash.
Please Discuss apps System Bloat-ware/User Apps that cause your G2x to Crash or Freeze in the following thread i created:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14399089
Thanks for all the feedback.
Luckily I dont get that issue, buy I think this is a good test :u
Good point. I have not had these issues but i do have trinity kernel and minimum speed is 300
G2x with CM7 and trinity kernel
All you have to do is be careful what apps you install. I've had the phone for over a month and the one time it rebooted or froze was when I used an app the phone didn't agree with.
I am almost certain that people are experiencing reboots and freezing because of the apps they have on their phone. Hopefully the update will solve the problem because it shouldn't be that way.

In my opinion, the shut down has to do with temperature of the phone. As long as I keep the phone cool by not charging and multitask with other things, then my phone is fine.

I used to think the same thing but the problem is my phone gets hot and works fine. I am almost positive it has something to do with an issue in the kernel that's being exposed by certain apps. My Xoom on release had reboots and SOD and it went away with app updates and removals. It also has Tegra 2

Do you or @kangxi remember what Apps gave you issues?
it has to be a driver issue, its virtually the only explanation for why devs have not hammered it out yet or even CM7 team for that matter... it has problems on pure AOSP which leaves drivers or overheating (unlikely)... LG has to come up with the fix because they know their drivers and hardware better than everyone else...
Well the obvious problem I see is that they are all based on the stock rom. Try using one build from AOSP or a CM variety.
I didn't stay stock long but I did have reboot using the leaked Gingerbread (which is what EB is built from). I don't follow it but one is based off the stock 2.2.2 rom and the other is based off the leaked 2.3.3 rom.
I had nothing but problems with the stock roms. Thus your problem I think. Move over to Bionic, CM7, Gigglebread, or something.
I tested my phone and I didn't have a reset in like 5 days (which then my battery died overnight because I forgot to plug it in). I usually crackflash the CM nightlies and haven't had any problems with reboots or any issues requiring a reboot (aside from the flashlight killing audio, but just don't use it).
There are definitely two problems - software and the battery. I used to way more problems until I exchanged the battery for a new one and that solved most of my issues. The issues that remain are definitely software based.

Thanks for this information/ Changing the minimum speed didnt affect the battery life but it has survived two nights without crashing. So i am planning to keep it at 312Mhz min.

I Completely Agree with you. Some Applications do cause system crashes. But I have removed all the t-mobile bloatware and i only have few games and GPS apps. All games are from tegra zone. So I am sure they are supported.
For GPS App i am using Copilot and it didnt crash on me once.
I just installed setcpu and set minimum to 312. I'm keeping everything else the same to see if this change has any difference. Will report back.

Looks like you are gaining progress. Sounds like keeping the processor revved up a little more does the trick.
It would be a simple fix for people to try that have reboot issues. I can't get mine to reboot, so unfortunately I cannot help you. My contribution was to resist from flashing for as long as possible to test how long I could get my "uptime" to. I got up to 127 hours when I passed out without charging it.
I'm running 20 hours now because I forgot to charge it again (seems to be my only problem, lol).
Looks like you may have fixed your rebooting issues. It sounds feasible that the clock speed could be causing it. I never had a reboot so I can't help you out but I can tell you that I have a profile under SETCPU that clocks it at 216 min and 216 max when the display is off and I don't have a problem. I wonder why the low clock speeds would only effect certain devices? Maybe it's certain apps that stay running in the background (since there poorly written) that require higher clock speeds than what the G2X gives at idle?

I've definitely noticed that the G2X wakes up faster and smoother (fade in from screen off) when min is set to 312mhz that's for sure. if this is all it will take to stop the reboots, I'll be super happy because otherwise this phone is just amazing.

Have you noticed any changes in battery usage? I haven't really played around with SETCPU much but can the clock speed be set lower and if it can, have you tried slightly lower settings than 312mhz?
y are u guys using setcpu? and its def cuz the min is too low faux has his at 400 and no problems morfic also has his a little higher then what is it i think 216?? thats too low thats y setcpu isnt supported yet.....pimp my cpu
Someone asked me a question earlier. Only app I had issues with was fring. Soon as I opened it and started playing around with it, phone rebooted.
I uninstalled and it never happened again.

No clue what you're trying to say but setCPU works fine. At startup for first time I selected Tegra2 and it works great. I have max set to 1000 and min to 312mhz (default was min to 216mhz). I'm running stock ROM but with root. that's all.

The main problem with my G2X is the sleep of death, which happens a lot. I get occasional reboots too, but not too often. I tried flashing EaglesBlood 1.05 and then CM7 nightly (7/6), which I'm on now, and I still get sleeps of death and reboots, with perhaps reduced frequency but still bad. Maybe it's the battery, though I don't have overheating/charging/battery drain issues, so I'm not sure what the problem is and if it's hardware or software. Any advice on what I should do would be appreciated - thanks!
I enabled "stay awake" and flashed faux's oc kernel and haven't had an sod in weeks on the stock rom.

Wouldn't that drain your battery much faster?
Also, I only seem to get the SOD when the phone is charging overnight, and I have a damn screen off profile set to underclock too, not even the lowest frequencies either so it cant be the freeze that that causes sometimes. Tho when it does and I figure out it is frozen asleep, it is usually hot. Might have to either get new battery or replacement. Tho what seems to heat up the most is the area around the camera, so I don't know if the battery or CPU are to blame.
No. Stay Awake only takes effect when your phone is plugged into a power source. Give it a try. I used to get 1 SOD per day. Since i made those changes I've had none in over a month. I posted the same thing in other SOD related threads but no one seems to care.
Thanks regP - I enabled Stay Awake and it seems to help. I've only had one SoD since. My new theory is that it relates to heat (leaving phone in the sun, running too many apps etc.). I've also noticed I don't get an SoD at work, where I get no reception and it's air-conditioned...might be related.
You also need to flash Faux's OC kernel. Even if you dont OC it gets rid of the faulty 300hz frequency that is believed to be part of the problem. Do that along with stay awake and you should not see any more SOD or reboots.
I've noticed I only ever got SOD when using any different kernel than what's in the original ROM. I have been on CM7 since RC1 and have been updating each nightly since and not touched the kernel and have not had a single SOD since, even when charging overnight. Only when I would try Faux kernel or Trinity kernel I would get SOD's.
I dunno then. completely stock for mean means sod and reboots. gingerbreak leak means sod and reboots. stocks + days kernel and stay awake means no sod or reboots. buddy of mine also cured his problems the same way.
For me stock froyo and gingerbread solves the problem.Initially when there was a call waiting sods used to occur, not in any other situation.I tired latest cm7 nightly with fauxs kernel,MIUI with fauxs kernel (and yes wiped cache , wiped dalvik cache and fix permissions and stay awake) but still sods.Then the stock froyo / gingerbread solves the problem for me.Hope this helps somebody.But my point is can I install the stock kernel with cm7 or MIUI ?.

no, miui and cm7 are both built from AOSP code and thus won't work with the stock kernel.
I guess I got lucky... never encounter the SOD or Reboot. Running cm nightly 163... I only update nightly when I notice major change only from change log.

So can you suggest any other kernel I should try to stop the sleep of death ?
I have two G2x - Stock Froyo and kernel, manually restart once per day - no SOD or async reboots. Both G2x did suffer from SOD (with or without heat) and reboots. Manual restarts are not as sexy as 3rd party kernels and roms, but it works.
My wife uses her G2x as an alarm clock - she gets in beds, manually shutsdown the G2x, restarts it, plugs into the charger, and it wakes her up in the morning. EVERY DAY.

my sod issues stopped when I enables "stay awake". never used anything but the included kernel of whatever Tom I decide to use.
What is the best solution for this? Makes me think i wasted good money on getting 2, for me and my girl. I tried that "stay awake" and same, shuts off out of nowhere. Ive flashed both faux kernel, same results. I dont experience it with CM but for me, stock its just more responsive BESIDES the shutoff. And Weapons rom just has too much addons.. Now people are saying that the SGS2 isnt all that because of benchscores.. And i wanted that phone.. But they make it seem like it isbt a big step forward.

Thanks for this. I'll be sure to use the "Thanks" button when i have enough posts. I'd been leaving the phone screen on in my pocket (using an alarm clock app) because it would SOD anytime i used the lock button. Working better already.
I keep on getting SODs ONLY when there is a call waiting in the background and this happens only with CM7,MIUI.When I flash the stock gingerbread or even weapons G2x,EaglesBlood ROM the sods that occur during call waiting vanish. Can anyone help me here ? I tried fauxs kernel along with Stay awake and increasing the minimum CPU frequency but failed. Any help will be appreciated.
For the people that SOD occurs on the charger, try another charger (instead of stock LG charger). I tried the Motorola micro USB charger which put out only 550mA (which came with the H730 bluetooth) and the SOD vanished.
Probably over heating with the LG charger which puts out 1000mA
As you can see from my screen shot, as I was asleep and my phone was locked, my battery dropped about 50%. I was asleep for 8 hours ish.
I have tried calibrating my battery.
What's constantly keeping my phone awake? I use the gmail app for mail and only have one account. Only other thing I can think of is fb or twitter??
Help!!
There has to be other apps you have installed

Install Betterbatterystats from the market.. its about $3 it will show you in depth was is causing your issue.. could be a wavelock..
I have installed BetterBatteryStats, should I use my phone as normal and post its findings tomorrow?
What am I looking for? Something showing up under Partial Wavelocks or Kernel Wavelocks? Or Both?
I also installed Titanium Backup and I froze a bunch of the apps from the list on this forum. (This was as of 2 hours ago, because this battery drain is ridiculous)
I installed SetCPU also, and have it set to 192mhz max&min when the screen is off. (This was as of 2 hours ago, because this battery drain is ridiculous)
I am willing to try different ROM's or Kernels (Whats the difference?), do you happen to know which is the best for Battery life?

Yes.. it will show you processes and battery consumption.. great app..
It will inform you of a partial wavelock and then need to find the app or apps and shut them down, freeze them.. etc..
If you are rooted. reboot in recovery and erase battery stats then calibrate.. run to 100% ( make sure it says 100%..then run it down till it dies ..then charge again 100%.. reboot and have fun..

I use DaG's 0.3 kernel only stable one... very nice.. I am on the stock rom.and get 24-28+ hours battery life on mine.
I have mine set at 54 min/max with screen off.. and overclock to 1782 with no issues.
Rom is a entire tweak of your operating system.. .. a kernel is for overclocking the cpu and some other cool things.. easier to flash then Rom's.
There are many rom's here to chose from.. take your pick
Also use " Cpu spy" to see if your phone is "sleeping" and can see the freq used by the cpu in different states..

I booted into recovery mode but I only have 3 options:
1) Wipe Data/Factory Reset (I did this a few days after I got my phone)
2) Install from SD Card
3) Something else
I didnt see anything about recalibrate battery.
Did I misread your post?
Are you wanting me to Charge my phone while its off to 100% then drain it to 0% and then back up to 100% and THEN install BetterBatteryStats?

When you reboot in recovery.. will have a list of options to pick. go to advanced press that and go down to "wipe battery stats".. and perform that task
You can charge the phone off or on.. yes..go to 100% charge then to 0 and do it again then reboot phone.. you can install "betterbatterystats" anytime my friend
There will be no "calibrate battery" in the list.... FYI
Okay, thanks for clearing that up.
Are you on the stock rom with just DaG's Kernel?
I'm thinking of using a custom ROM, have you tested any of the ones?
Im thinking of TPC v3

No problem
Yes stock Rom with DaG 's kernel. 0.3 version.
I have not tried any of the roms I get the performance and battery life out of my stock rom .. it works for me..
Tpc v3 is good.. stable.. Flash one and see if you like it.
It appears that Wifi being On is not letting my phone go into deep sleep.
BetterBatteryStats had a service under Kernel Wakelock that was wlan_wake or something like that and it was running continuously as long as the phone was powered on (screen on and off)
This might be really stupid, but how do I install a script once I flash my SGS2 SR to TPC v3?
Nevermind, got it. Im currently running tcp v3 with DaG .3 oc'd to 1.728 ghz.
Hopefully I will see some better results with my battery haha

Hi everyone, so the other day I flashed the latest sky ice cream (6. 7z) with the latest faux (skyrocket) kernel. Then I noticed that my phones battery was dieing at an alarming rate. (this is also after a ton of issues came up with my phone). Last night I did a nabdroid restore to when I first rooted the phone so stock kernel and stock rom and everything was working great, although I didn't spend enough time to see if the phone was acting up but in setcpu, I did notice the fact that the phone did enter deep sleep.
I am now running red Sonia and yes I did flash fauxs ultimate kernel and now for the hours that I've had it disconnected, the entire time that I haven't been playing with it, the phone has been running at 300MHz.
I'm not at home currently but is there some way that I could diagnose what's going on in terminal? Or some type of logging I could run to see what's running my phone into the ground??
Any way thanks in advance for reading this, and I hope this issue can be resolved.

I want to share my setup with you guys for getting good battery life which lasts the day without making you compromise on the features. The primary things I've seen on the forums so far has a lot of involved setup and frankly by the time you get it perfect, you will flash a new ROM and have to re-do a lot of it and so on, overall it's not the worth the hassle.
This is usually what my days look like and I manage to last the entire day:
I keep wifi and GPS on always, regardless of whether I'm using it or not.
Get a fair bit of calls because I live away from family so they all call a lot (I have a massive family, so we are talking about 5-6 hrs of talking everyday).
I like to read news from news republic and I'm subscribed to a lot of stuff there so I go through like 2000+ articles in a given day.
XDA like every few hrs (damn ICS!).
Text messages are also flowing throughout the day with the woman being on the other side of the country and all (100+ a day?).
I have facebook on push (not an addict but active enough to mention)
My gmail, school and exchange are all on push for email so they I see a fair bit there
The setup is VERY easy to setup and replicate. It doesn't require you to lose out on features or use your phone at an anorexic level either. You don't need a task manager or watch your processor non-stop either.
So without further delay, here we go:
Pick a ROM
I'm using Seanster_GBaxe EX v1.5.1 from the T-Mobile section, you can find it here.
Get faux's kernel
The reason for this particular one is because it's given the best results when it comes to undervolting and overclocking without SOD. You can find the kernel here.
Get System Tuner
This is available on market. There are alternatives but for this post, I will be making all the references from this app.
Get the AGPS patch from crypted
This isn't for battery directly but it does get locks VERY fast and you waste less clock cycles getting the signal. Less clock cycles wasted, more battery saved. The patch is available here.
I personally use the v3.0 Google CWM Build (scroll down his post and you will see it)
Get the V6 SUPERCHARGER from zeppelinrox
This is available here. Why the beta one? It works fine.
Okay, at this point you can pretty much store these things together in a neat little folder on your SD card because it makes a perfect library. So let's get started, I'll assume that we are starting from scratch. The order for everything will be as follows:
Get into recovery and install your ROM
This I shouldn't have to explain, the instructions you can find on the ROM thread.
Install the kernel
Same with this, read the kernel thread.
Install the GPS patch
Same with this as well
Boot into ROM
Hmm.... hopefully you can manage this
Restore all your backups and apps, accounts and whatever else
Using titanium here is always good
Install System Tuner
Okay, let's get started. Although faux has done an amazing job with the kernel, there's always the personal bias that goes into making things so his balanced settings might not reflect yours (nor mine but you will be tweak even those soon).
Inside System Tuner, go to CPU:
The first you thing you should choose is whether you want to keep the 1.72 GHz OC or not. I kept it but if you want to get even more you can lower to stock 1.56 GHz or go even lower, your choice. Once you set the max, set the min to 384 MHz. Set it once and you don't need to do it again after. Leave the governer to ONDEMAND.
Now go to the Voltage tab:
Be careful here, this can crash you if you go too far. What we do here is globally undervolt, you can do that by hitting the -12.5 mV button over and over. I use -75 mV (press the button 6 times, for those bad at math). Keep in mind that all chips are NOT THE SAME!!! -75 mV might be too much for you or you might even be able to get to -100 mV, find out by doing it.
Now go back to the CPU tab and hit Boot Settings:
Hit Screen-off behavior:
Governor - No changes
Max frequency - 384 MHz (push doesn't lag at all still so don't worry about notifications)
Max frequency/in call - 384 MHz (yes, calls don't require full blast, they work fine even under 500 MHz)
Now go back
Hit Governors behavior:
Sampling rate - Unchanged (faux has it done perfect)
Up-threshold - 75 (what's this? This means that the CPU will scale to higher frequencies when the load is above 75%)
Power-save Bias - 70 (what's this? This means that the CPU will be "biased" towards lower frequencies when load is below 70%)
Setting the Power-save Bias higher than the Up-threshold is obviously stupid so make sure you did it right.
Now go back
At the bottom, there is a whole bunch of tweaks:
Hit Re-apply CPU settings, choose init.d script (you can choose boot too but init.d works 100% of the time)
Hit Boost app loading, choose init.d
Hit Clear cache, choose init.d
Now go back
Find the Startups section and disable whatever you don't want running at boot (this is purely a personal thing).
Install V6 script
His instructions are very good so I'll assume that you have gotten it installed. Once you have it running, choose option 9, the 1000 HP one. Reboot. Run script again, make sure you've got it at 100% supercharged. Done. Reboot just to be sure again.
All done! Now, I know that was lengthy but here's the awesome part. Make a titanium full backup of System Tuner and you NEVER have to do that again for ANY ROM as long as you use the same kernel!! The script is unfortunately the only thing you have to re-apply, probably that has a quick setup too but I'm new to it so I can't give you shortcuts on it.
Hope you have luck with this and it works for you. I promise nothing and if you break your phone please don't come crying to me because you chose to do this yourself. It works for me so I shared it!! Any suggestions are welcome of course.
Note: NO task manager required!! I will modify this for cm7 if needed.
nice job. thanks a lot!

Are you in an LTE market? A full day on LTE would be pretty awesome.
For the screen-off behavior, do you think one can get away with using the smartass governor instead?

I'm not in LTE area :-(... Would be nice because that's why I got the phone but then I had to move so can't say anything about LTE.
As for smartass, what kernel are you using? Smartass works very similar to the modified ondemand settings that I set up so it wouldn't make a difference as far as I forsee.

I tried this, will post results later. Thanks for the great tutorial
If you could post screen shots of your CPU Spy that would be helpful! How well does your phone do on going into deep sleep? On average from what to what time does yours last you? I'm just skeptical about setting the screen off behavior cause that usually prevents the phone from going to Deep Sleep.

You're right about the deep sleep, don't let it go into deep sleep. It lasts me 12 hours normally. I'll get you screenshots when I get a chance.

Mine goes into deep sleep with screen off behavior setup.

Dont you think the phone waste alot more battery though when it doesn't go into deep sleep? I've also found that WiFi tends to create a nasty wake lock. My set up is Sky ICS Speed with Faux Clock 1.296 ghz max -384 mhz min. -37.5 u/v LTE on all day, extremely heavy usage. 12 hour battery life on average.

From what I've noticed with the faux kernel, it goes into deep sleep after some time on it's own, regardless of the screen-off behavior. I haven't opened up the source to check it out for a better explanation but that's something I doubt is worth exploring since the performance doesn't take any hit.
I haven't chosen to underclock to 1.2 but it should do better than the 12 hrs I get now if I did do that. I have a tendency to start GTA 3 and start playing whenever I get bored so that's why I went OC rather than under. For others looking strictly to use the phone with minimal gaming, this would be a good option. LTE isn't available in my area so I can't test with it but the WiFi radio uses just as much battery as the LTE, if not more I have a feeling.
Trying eugene's kernel from today to see if the lionheart governor does better than the current setup. I will know in a couple of days because every ROM flash needs a couple of charge cycles before it accurately shows battery status.

Do you get any SOD? Everything working okay? Is the setup different than what I've got up there? Would like to know and try it out, can update the OP accordingly.
Just finished with eugene's kernel and the results were pretty disappointing. Looks like the second core is always kept on regardless, faux's kernel turns the second core offline until usage demands need it.
If anyone knows how to tweak eugene's to stop that from happening, do share.

Can you clue me location of his latest ROM? Or is it somewhere in the Macnut thread on TMO side of the fence?

Using darkside ROM at the moment with the faux kernel, had the Eugene kernel but I noticed that the second core is kept alive regardless of usage and that wasn't helping so I changed back to faux.

thanks for the awesome write up!
Did it last night, and lasted the day without a sweat! However, my min frequency wont stick? I have it set to stock frequency 1.5, using faux kernal, and my voltages arent as low as yours (im not a crazy user like you.. maybe an hour of talking a day, lots of texts and emails tho), but i cannot get my min frequency of 3xx to stay. Suggestions?
Thanks!
edit- running stockMod v1.0
im sorry, i have a hard time believing you talk for 6 hours and scroll thry 2000 pages of web and get a day of use. I myself could get about 1.5 days on battery strictly by staying home, connected to wifi all day and barely talking on the phone. i would like to see a screenshot of battery usage at the end of your day
