Rebooting may be a hardware problem

First g2x rebooted constantly. Froze up on charger. Required battery pull.
New g2x hasn't rebooted yet. Same SIM card.
My guess is that if yours reboots you got a dud and should exchange it.

The same happened to me. First phone suffered from reboots.
My replacement is fine but I still haven't root it, so I blamed it on the root process.
Is yours rooted?

To counter your point..
Original G2X - rebooted a lot but then removing apps, software changes have made it more stable. Usually go 3+ days without a reboot
Replacement G2X (sent back) - rebooted just like my first one so i didn't even bother removing apps. SAME BATTERY AS ORIGINAL!
I also think it's mainly the battery which is what you're seeing by getting a replacement. I think some batteries don't charge properly so there are times when the voltage drops too much to sustain the phone causing a lock/reboot. I've been monitoring my phone and the more I think about it the more I realize most of my reboots happen after I had taken it off the charger at 100%. I can use it without charging it and it never reboots. Also battery monitor widgets,etc. cause reboots which all comes back to a bad battery or horrible battery driver which CM devs have already said existed.

After months of being in denial about the same problem which has plagued the O2X since launch, a couple of weeks ago LG Europe acknowledged the problem publicly and said it was software.
http://translate.google.com/transla...alligevel-problemer-med-optimus-2x,lid.15324/
Here's the post on the O2X forum that discusses the problem in gory detail. Interestingly, it says the Atrix is having a similar issue which could certainly point to the processor.

The rebooting is a software issue. The only time my phone rebooted was when I installed an app (Fring). After I uninstalled it, no issues.

Neither were rooted. Also, rooting in and of itself is incidental; it would not affect the issue as rooting does not change any of the kernel files.

Very interesting. This corresponds to what I experienced, and I think you may be on to something here.

I guess I have been one of the lucky ones. I bought my phone on the 22nd and have never had a reboot or lock up happen. Also my lcd bleeding is pretty minimal. Im still exchanging my phone for a new one because the little black piece of plastic that covers the camera just fell off one day plus I have a dead pixel on the screen that driving me nuts.

It is not the root process. I thought the same thing the first night after I rooted. The phone would not stay on for more than 5 minutes. The store rep did not believe me and tried his sim card and sure enough after five minutes sitting on the counter it turned off and only by pulling the battery was he able to get is re-started. Some of the phones are screwed up. Swap it. My new one is running great except for the battery life.

Oh. Sorry. It just seems that on a lot of threads where people post about problems they are having, you jump in say you don't have any issues and to uninstall something like Fring that works fine on every other phone, so I thought you were trolling.

Although I often manually reboot the phone. I haven't seen one single auto-reboot or freeze, before or after root. So I don't think root is the cause of auto-reboot.
All bloatware are there and running, sometimes I manually close CarHome and TeleNav after reboot, sometimes I forget to do so.
From what I've seen, auto-reboot does look like a hardware problem. To be more specific, those devices are defective.

Just jinxed myself. Right after I replied to this thread I saw first freeze. After pulling battery and putting it back I saw "System Checking..." upon booting, and many force closes after boot was completed.

Just offering what worked for me. If that's not the case then just return your phone. You can keep getting a new one or listen. There's nothing wrong with the phone that a software update probably wouldn't fix.

I think its HW. If its SW it doesn't explain why one phone would reboot and a replacement would not.

My 2nd phone has no auto shutdown yet, but I am using new sim card. My ex G2X was using the old sim card.

My week old today G2x, 4/11/11 build, has never rebooted by itself. The only problems I'm having are flaky behavior switching wifi calling on and off automatically and some back light bleed.
As for how one phone reboots and others don't, it could be software or not. In order to really know for sure you would have to be absolutely certain you had the exact same apps installed in the exact same order, be in the same location at the same time and under the same conditions and loads.

That could be the cause, since my previous phone suffered from reboots and I was using the old SIM. I started using the new SIM since day one with this phone and still no reboots..

Will you return G2X if update doesn't fix reboot?

I sure as hell will. Wondering who here is ready to return if their phone reboots after update. T mobile will be so swamped if it doesn't fix it, and mine recently has started rebooting randomly, not too often. Just wondering if everyone here will return, if so, t mobile will have quite the ride with this one unless they do a recall.

My sentiments exactly.

I don't think LG is going to let it happened. It's something in the software that is conflicting with the hardware. I'm on customs ROM (CM7) and have not seen it rebooted once.

I will sell the phone if I will see new 2.3 gonna be slow than 2.2
(Im ready to buy Samsung Galaxy S II)

If the update or a battery swap doesn't fix my reboots,i would like to return it but I'm already past my 30 days.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

I would make them exchange it. How can they not if you tell them it interrupts calls with a reboot. Also someone else said in the topic about the o2x gingerbread delay that the g2x was pulled and he's getting a sensation. Not sure if that's true or not.

That I don't know. Most likely...

When you ask, "will you return it?" you realize that T-Mobile will not take it back for a refund outside the 14 or 30 day "buyers remorse" periods.
If you are outside that period, returning it for a refund or exchange for another phone of a different model is not an option.
And since the phone has not been available for nearly 30 days now, I dont see how ANYONE could still be within their buyers remorse period.
I was on the phone with an executive from T-Mobile today (not a customer service specialist, retention specialist or tech specialist... a real executive) and there is nothing that ANYONE of lower position at T-Mobile can do.
And as an FYI, the issue is happening with pre-rooted and un-modded phones AND rooted and custom rom phones. I have one of each sitting on my desk right now and both of them have the same issues.

If I jump off this ship the I won't get to see this phone mature.
It is such an awesome device and at least with me the reboots are not bad at all. Just like any other phone I had, nothing new nothing major.
This is going to be an awesome phone ones it matures.

There's always the Sensation. I played with one at my Wal-Mart today and it is very light and small. I was shocked, tbh. I have very small hands, for a guy and it is quite comfortable. The only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger is that new return policy and the chance of a Nexus Two? Three? coming this Christmas.

I will not jump to the Sensation unless they build a ROM that is without Sense. Sense is fun to play with but it's horrendous as a daily driver.
The Slide 4g or whatever does have me intrigued though. I just loves me some keyboard.

There is no way in hell I am getting another one of these. No way. They can't tell me when the update is coming and each phone has these different crazy personalities!
Mine did two completely new and screwy things today. Completely different than the wifi issues and shutting off type reboots, and screen bleed that this forth phone has been doing already.
First, today when I was at the local Walmart trying to see a Sensation, I took my phone out of my pocket and it was stuck in this loop. The notification screen looked like it was pulled half way down. It was spinning around between landscape and portrait, landscape and portrait over and over about once a second. Kind of looked like a slow motion propeller just goin' round and round. Landscape, portrait, landscape, portrait. Bizzarre. Had to pull the battery.... nothing else would work.
Then tonight, my battery was in the red zone. So I change batteries. I have to enter my code on my sim card before I can use my phone. It took forever to get to that sim screen, then I could not input anything. Finally held down the power off button, the power off screen shows but I cannot input hereeither..,,,,battery pull. Arggghhh!
Then I turn it on, and it takes forever....I mean two full minutes, then shows an error message.....
" Sorry!
The application com.lge omadmclient (process com. lge omadmclient) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
With a "Force close" button
When I pushed the force close, it showed another error screen
"Sorry
The application Launcher pro (process android.process. a core) has stopped unecpectedly. Please try again."
This one had two choices.."Force close" and "Make report"
When I pushed FC, it went right to the former error screen.
Could not get out of this loop. Until I did a battery pull. Power off did not work.
This happened three times. Three times. Finally did an on/volume reset. Arggghhh!
More Weirdness.....
No....I don't want another. Thanks.

+1 I love sense for the eyes but sense bogs down the phone too much. I want my phone to be snappy as possible but it does look like a nice device.. Although I dont think it makes sense to jump ship for it. I think by late fall(which is only a few months a way ) something better will be out and I'll upgrade then The mytouch 4g slide does look interesting as well(I had the mt4g and loved it) Wonder how thick it will be. I really dont have any reboot issues with my g2x. I do have some screen bleed but I'm going to try to fix that I actually have 2 g2x's that's why I dont mind trying to open one up just to fix the screen bleed. The other got sent back to "LG" (really Steller Wireless) for major major screen bleed/screen separation. I hope that one comes back perfect but I'm not holding my breath. But I want to try to fix the one with minimal screen bleed myself

Oh I am going to stick this out to the buyer end... It is a beast... It had me at hello...

[Solution] Touchscreen Response Problems

Symptoms:
- Unlocking Problems.
- Apps launching when you try to swipe.
- Very erratic screen behavior.
Like most of you, I've been tormented by all of the symptoms above since the first week of using the Sensation. I tried everything short of messing with the metals on the back of the phone before I finally found the solution in the SGSII
area.
I have now been using my phone for the last 2 weeks without missing a single touch or swipe. The screen is super sensitive, nay, super SENSATIONAL... Every single touch, swipe, or home spin works the first time. My conclusion, as you'll concur, is that the touchscreen problems are produced by misconfigurations that can be corrected in 5 seconds!!!!!!
Solution
Download the app in the following link from the direct market link, and configure as follows:
1. Select "Super Optimized" from the single drop-down box at the bottom.
2. Set the first 3 sliders to the lowest value by dragging to the leftmost.
3. Drag the last two sliders to the highest value by dragging rightmost.
4. Press the "Apply Changes" button, then yes when prompted.
5. Done.
Note: I haven't yet needed to reapply this once after having done it the first time, nor did I need to use the service mode, nor set again after reboots or shutdowns.
This post was typed entirely on my sensation without any delays or problems.

I don't know if anyone would believe this. But I was having major problem with the touch sensitivity. It would take at least 5 tries to unlock . Then one day I woke up,and all the touch sensitivity problems are gone. I didn't do anything to the rom, the battery, the charger, or the back case. My phone just healed itself like that. This phone is truly amazing!

I believe it. Its happened that way to a lot of us. It will come back though, give it a week or so unless this thread actually fixes it for an extended amount of time.. If not, and we just have to run this again... that's livable...

Didn't work for me either. Touchscreenbooster didn't make any difference at all. No screen protector.
FWIW My touchscreen issue is 100% reproducible and only happens when the display first turns on (say, when hitting the power button to take it out of standby, or an incoming call). The touchscreen is seriously erratic for 5 or 10 seconds while I scrub my finger all over it. After that, everything drags perfectly and everything works 100%... until the display turns off and I have to do it all over again.
Frustrating!! But at least I can still use the phone. Just makes it difficult to answer incoming calls in time.

I was having these issues and i was ready to take my phone back. I was convinced they were hardware related. And then i flashed "insert coin" rom. It made my touch screen issues go away. I ve been using it for about a week and made my phone at least 3 times faster and my screen is as responsive as it gets. Cheers

Yea that's what I've done as well...I got my sensation when they first came out..about a week in I had a lot of touchscreen issues..they came back from time to time. But when I flashed "insert coin" all the problems went away. And until cm7 drops, I believe insert coin is the best ROM...I've tried at least five different ones.

[Q] Can not Do Factory Reset..

I Have used the factory reset option in privacy option and as usual the the phone restart in console mode and after doing the resetting it came back. But the programs i have installed before reset the phone is still shown in the phone , though while oppening it shows some error. And also I can not delete any files or folders from my internal SD card. Whenever I delete some file at time it shows that it has been deleted But after restarting the phone I can see every bit of file stays.
Is this problem of any Software or hardware?
Please give ur Feedback.

it's sw for me
try to make a full wipe by recovery

Can i ask why you have to factory reset? Maybe just flash your firmware again and its good as new.

New Problem Arise
Any way that problem has been solved when I given to the phone customer care and they change the motherboard of my phone. But A new problem arises after 3 days.. My phone automatically tries to resetting(yes resetting not restarting) but can not compliting the process.. after showing the logo it goes back to display the samsung preview and this keep looping continuously until remove the battery. After put the battery and switch on the mobile it shows that initial set up for the phone just as receiving a new phone. After completing this I entered the phone And A SHOCKER... My contacts and messages are gone... But surprisingly all my downloaded application is still there.... I have FACTORY RESET my phone two time but this problem continues. What shall I do??

Well, the same thing happened to me! At first your internal SD Card failed (unable to write to SD) that is why your files were coming back after reboot. They kind of become permanent.
Now, you are having the notorious Pseudo-Reset Bug (again hardware problem). Samsung is either using cheap internal SD cards or they are just not concerned about the overall quality of the hardware. The repair takes a lot of time eating up the warranty time and causing data loss.
I got tired of it, therefore I created this thread here.

Try this code.
*2767*3855#
This will hard reset ur phone and int_sd.

Boot your phone to recovery and use adb to type these in:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/stl9
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/stl11
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
Then flash your new ROM.

Samsung service tricked me as I have only 2 days of warranty left they give a faulty mb(pseudo resetting) which fault is shown after 1 or two nights when your phone is idle.
Now My warranty period is over.. Now I am coming to know that this pseudo resetting is a hardware problem.. I want to know what is the price of the new Mb and internal SD?

IMO, the mb will carry the bulk of the cost of the phone. Thus I think a new phone is more worth it. This are just my thoughts, maybe wait for someone else's thoughts on the cost

Now My warranty period is over.. Now I am coming to know that this pseudo resetting is a hardware problem.. I want to know what is the price of the new Mb and internal SD?

I think u should fire on samsung people. Because in warranty period the hardware they have provided u is of no quality. So it doesnt matter that ur warranty is over or not.
Its their duty that they provide good quality service & hardware in warranty. So tell thrm that if they will not solve the problem then u will file a case against them in consumer court.

Do you know anyone who get the phone fixed after the warranty period is over?
Will consumer court listen to my problem as legally I have no grounds to say?
Wating for your reply..

Good News, Samsung Care received my phone for repair. HOpefully they replace the motherboard...

So, does this mean you won't be supporting my case?

Just joking, good for you that you got it resolved. But it's a recurring issue might creep in anytime to anybody then I doubt they'll replace it again.

After many hurdle I have got my phone. [ though hardly its my phone now, except the outer case. My phones mb changed twice. Camera, screen, earpice also changed]. Now after using this one month problems occuring again. Now the problem in my screen. Once the phone in sleep when i taped the home key it alive but its unresposive to touch and eventually goes back to sleep. But if i prees the power key to alive the screen then it resposive to my touch. And the touch works absolutely fine. In fact i am sending this post using my phone. Does anyone knows about this incident?? Or I am the first one to get this???

[Q] [HELP] Phone won't turn on and it's not the battery

Hi,
Was using my HTC Sensation the other day, all was working fine I was sending a text message when the phone suddenly went of. I tried to turn it back on but nothing happened, took the battery out and put it back in, tried again and nothing. Couldn't get into bootloader either. Thought it might be the battery so bought a new one but it doesn't work with that one either! When I plug it into my PC Windows sees it as QHSUSB_DLOAD but adb can't see it. Is this a hardware failure? Can it be fixed? So frustrating because if I send it back to HTC they'll see that it's rooted and they won't be happy >.<
If anyone can shed any light on what I should do that'd be great
Thanks in anticipation

Thanks for your reply, I've looked into this and it seems this only applies to devices bricked when trying to S-ON or when flashing hboot, mine just died when I was using it. I've contacted HTC and they are going to repair it for me - fingers crossed they don't notice it's rooted!

You we're only sending a text message and the phone bricked? That's so strange? Keep us posted and let us know how it goes with HTC repair. Did you install anything before you started the text message? Any mod, or anything? I wonder how it suddenly bricked? Or I wonder if it's a sort of hardware failure? I wish you the best and do hope they repair the device without any problems. Let us know how it goes. Best wishes

I was running JBMIUI with Sultan kernel. I was getting wifi problems with the latest build of that kernel so was in correspondence with the developer and was trying an older version of it which was a bit dodgy, maybe it killed a component I dunno! I have read into this QHUSB_DLOAD issue and from what I've heard the device is so bricked that they wont be able to tell it was rooted. Thanks, I really hope so too! Will keep you posted,
Regards,
Luke

I don't see how that could've killed a component . Right now your Sensation is in download mode (all kernels, including mine, put the phone into download mode upon kernel panic). Maybe when your battery died a lot of bad luck happened because when a kernel panic happens the phone should've rebooted after 5 seconds (that's the default timeout for my kernel). Also, all previous and current versions of my kernels are stable and shouldn't cause components to randomly die. Have you looked at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db5f3If-2Jw?

Sorry I didn't mean to cause offence by saying it was dodgy - the only thing that made me say that was the bug that meant that sometimes on r5 the CPU1 would not switch on and you had to reflash the kernel. Damnit, I probably should have had a go at the HTC Unbricking Project before I sent it off to HTC, This I do regret but I sort of panicked and thought the best option was to send it to HTC and hope they fix it. If they spot that it's been rooted they either charge you for the repair or send it back to you and charge £25 in courier costs. If they find it's rooted should I just pay them to fix it or do you think I have a good chance being able to fix it myself with the HTC Unbricking Project? The only reason I didn't embark upon the HTC Unbricking Project was that it explicitly said in the OP that it ONLY worked for devices bricked by switching s-on or flashing hboot, neither of which I was doing when my phone died. With hindsight though I probably should have still given it a try :/

You should do try try the unbrick project as I said earlier before paying HTC as u can pay them even after trying the project.

If there's a chance then you should always take it. If it didn't work then you probably could've bricked it more (maybe pull out the cable while the unbricker was doing something important) to make sure that HTC would never be able to find out that it's rooted. Also, that CPU1 bug only happened when you tried changing CPU governors from the default governor, performance (it happened because the default CPU governor was performance). To fix that you only had to reboot, not reflash the kernel . Good luck

Hehe I think I'm more of a noob than I realise also I don't think it was just the kernel that went into panic mode - I freaked out and just wanted to have my phone back! I'm missing it so much haha let's just hope HTC fix it for free!

I am very lucky

Congrats

Lol. I had the same yesterday. I was playing Asphalt 7 and HTC crashed. (I had a lot of crashes but basically it was able to turn on after 3-5 minutes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35937286) I'm trying to boot it up but my PC recognized it also as QSUSB_DLOAD.
Have they changed motherboard in your device a while ago? Cause they have for me and since that last repair I have these problems.

windows installed qhsusb driver but nothing else..cant see it.. and i cant do anything else..my phone reboots when booting into recovery and thats it... what can i do? there must be something i can do, i can atleast reaching bootloader every 3. time i am trying too.
I used ViperS 1.6

Any Idea?
EDIT: now i cant even get into bootloader..screen turns on but stays black guys help me please

This is the first time I've sent it to repair. I would try using the HTC Unbrick Project (see previous posts) and if that doesn't work I'd say you're pretty safe to send it to HTC. I would guess there's a been a hardware failure - especially if the device was having to work hard running a game. In which case they won't find out it's been rooted so you shouldn't have to pay.

This is weird that you can get the screen to come on but not get anywhere - on mine it was completely dead - the power button did nothing, pressing power on and vol down did nothing either. What happens when you try to charge it? I couldn't even get a orange charging light. Again this sounds like a faulty component, but I'm no expert on this.
As for trying to fix it yourself I don't think either of you have much chance - if it's still in warranty (mine had 2 years warranty, not sure if that is a UK thing only but considering this phone was only released May 2011 everyone's should still be in warranty) I'd say send it back to HTC. But try the HTC Unbricking project just for peace of mind so you know you can't fix it - I'd say that's your only chance

yeah..its really wierd.at first i could at least go into the bootloader (but not into recovery)...now its just turning on.
i see that the black screen gets a bit brighter (so screen seems on) but it only shows a black screen.
Looks like i need to use my warranty. Hope it isnt a problem that i rooted, but its maybe better that they dont know that :/
Cant afford repair or a new phone. Sucks to be a broke student

I tried HTC Unbricking Project. It couldn't detect my device I had 1-2 crashes per day since last repair, I guess htc did something wrong while replacing the motherboard.
First time I sent them because I had similar problem and now the same happened. Anyways I'm waiting for postman and gonna wait 3-4 weeks again to repair this phone...
Hope they will find damaged component.

Take out the battery and let the phone sit without its battery for 1 night. When you wake up, try and see if it works.
