[Q] Keep getting random 'No Service Area' on Cyanogenmod - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hi all,
My LG G2x phone flash with Pheonix Blood 1.6 CM7 is acting weird. It would have full signal bar, but I can't make or receive call. I would get a message saying 'No Services Area', but then it would work again after a few try. It happen when I do not use the phone for awhile and it sit there on my desk or in my pocket. I seem to only get this error when I am using CM7, because the Miui Rom is fine when I try it. I google it but not many post out there with this issue, and the one that do has it has no answer. Could someone please help? thank you.

I'd say re-flash and if that doesn't fix it, go to a different ROM. I used Phoenix Blood myself for about a day, then switched. Check your PM.

Yeah try reflash a couple of rom, seem like any cyanogenmod base rom give me that issue, and Miui give me random crash.

Phoenix Blood is technically a mod based on CM7, don't blame it on CM7. I had problems with PB as well, the one I have now, none. Haven't tried MIUI.

Yeah, I try the stable build from cyanogenmod website, the nightly build from the G2X forumn, and Eagle blood with all the same result for some reason. Yet stock and Miui doesn't have that issue. So that was why I though it was a CM issue.

If so it would have to be something with your phone, I don't get that problem and I haven't seen it mentioned before. Let me know how it goes with the ROM and Kernel I mentioned to you, and don't forget to flash gaaps.

Yup tried that kernel and rom you recommended and still having the same issue. Guess back to either stock or Miui for now and hope for better luck with ICS.

[Q] Fring issues when flashing any other Rom/Kernal other than stock

I'm having issues with Fring force closing every time it try's to bring up the front facing camera in video calls. Now I know this thread usually wouldn't belong in Android Development, but it only happens when I'm not using the Stock Rom or Kernal. I've tried the Baked Snack ROM, Tha Boss Rom, & Andromeda Galaxy Rom and they are all exhibiting the same problem. Also, I've tried using the Kernals that come with each rom, and also the MixUP kernal and its the same thing. I'm not sure if its because of some conflict that occurs, or what. Is anyone having this problem?
I've had the same problem. Flashing back to stock did fix it.
have you guys tried clearing the data? just a thought.
I have the same issue, i have to flash to stock then flash a rom, if i flash more than one rom it force closes, then after flash to stock and nand droid backup sometime it will work and other times it wont, just seems to be hit or miss for me goodluck on getting it figured out
Good to know it's not just me. Thanks for the responses. It's my girls phone so I'll see which she prefers (Rooted/Rom'd/Kernaled or Fring). She'll probably choose Rooted though because of the better battery life. I'll keep an eye out for a fix.
Same with me in BOSS ROM v0.2

Yeah I think it's an issue with all the roms as of right now. Hopefully one of the Devs will take notice of this issue and work out a fix for us. Thanks in advance guys.
Add me to the list...using Andromeda and it gives me the FC everytime...going back to stock fixes it.
Thought I was the only one too...
Yep fring definitely doesn't work with custom roms, I have tried every possible combo and nothing helps. Stock looks like the only option so far

Best Rom to run without issues of stock G2X

Hi, I don't own a G2X but my friends do. Their both having data connectivity issues and random rebooting. One has leaked gingerbread rom and one has stock rom. I've given them new sim cards but still same problem. Can anyone recommend a good stable-ish Rom that can take care of these issues? I was looking at the Eagleblood 2.3.4 Rom any feedback?
Thanks for the help!

I'm having great results with the Ultimate G2X 1.0 rom. Its fast/snappy/responsive, very stable, everything works, great theme.
I've tried the CM7 nightlies and they're pretty darn good, but still enoight quirks that I'll stick with Ultimate for now as my main rom.
Here's a link to the Ultimate thread

EB 1.0.4 with Faux's Kernel
EB 1.0.5 with faux kernel, it's friggen awesome!
I will also chime in for EB 1.05 (the froyo based rom) with faux's kernal. I tried out Ultimate 1.0 on my phone, but I was getting a bunch of FC's and "zombie widgets." I doubt it was a problem with the rom itself...it seems to be an awesome rom. But I run SPB Shell 3D, and I think maybe there was some kind of incompatibility with the theming. I don't know...but I tried and tried, and finally just gave up and went back to the EB because...well, it simply works. I haven't had a single problem with it.

I want to try that out, but I think you have to flash other stuff with that as well? Like gapps? Little confusing for me since I'm pretty much a newb at this stuff
if youre looking for stability i use fauxs oc stock kernel with stock rom. all other roms at this point cause different issues. mainly games not working such as nova saying wrong version or not updating for me. stock wouldn't be my choice for looks but everything seems to work and OC kernel with Go Launcher EX and its new app drawer animations make it pretty cool.
p.s. everytime i try a rom then go back to stock i get a bunch of text messages that for some reason always never get recieved when using other roms as well.
I was new to this stuff like u about a week ago. I really like eaglesblood and you probably wont need a kernel. Eaglesblood fixed the issues I had. Oh BTW I'm using 1.0.5 if u were wondering

All of the 2.3.x roms have issues, not the developers fault, it is because the roms are based off a leaked early GB rom and are missing some of the drivers/features.
To me working BT and GPS are necessary features in a "best" rom, so I look to the froyo based roms, currently my every day rom is team Shockwave's Dark Sinister Rom.
If BT & GPS are not important, then Eagleblood Rom with Faux's OC Kernal is relatively issue free.

CM7 Unlock Black screen

Just updated to the latest CM7 Nightly, and so far twice today, when I went to hit the sleep button. The screen remains black. I can see a blacklight go on though or something, as the screen changes from when its in sleep. But it remains black.. Is this a known bug? Any suggestions? I would really hate to have to go back to Weapon as I spent all day setting up CM7.
edit: upon further investigation, this appears to be called sleep of death? Are there any known fixes for it?
I had the same problem, happened with every cm7 based rom....i tried posting my problem on this forum for help but no 1 really had any idea what was the issue or how to fix it...as far as I know we're stuck using 2.3.3 roms
Btw do you have a wind optimus 2x or a tmobile g2x? Mine is from wind

Will it only work with the nightlies? I would've preferred to use the stable release or the cm7 eagleblood

i installed his latest CM version along with the CM rom and it happened still. Is there a seperate patch? or is the kernal on its own supposed to fix it?
Thanks for posting that, I was about to test it myself

I think there are 2 different sleeps of death, one of them only happens sometimes, whereas the one we get happens every single time the screen turns off
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
hopefully we can fix this problem together.. It seems Cm7 has better battery life then the other roms so I would hate to go back.
well weapon has been pretty good for me...can't complain really...which CM rom did u try with faux's kernel?
The very latest nightly. Cant remember off hand which one it is.
Also, If I flashed weapon right now (being on CM7 + faux kernel), will I retain the faux kernel? Or will I need to reflash faux's kernel. And even though this kernel says CM7, will it still work with weapon?
I believe the kernel would be flashed over by the stock kernel in weapon, if it doesn't get flashed over then i doubt your phone would be able to boot up, because the kernel shouldn't be compatible with stock 2.3.3
give a shot and try it out, also if you want to over clock on weapon there should be another kernel by faux that u can use, look for it in the development forum
I am going to stay a little longer on CM7, maybe someone can help me with these SOD's.. Then I guess I wil go back to weapon or try out that eagle one. Not sure which is better..
i think the stock eagleblood is very plain and clean....i like weapon because its a little more customized, plus its the only stock rom that has the notification power menu...and from the looks of it, our problem seems very rare so i don't think anyone has or will develop a fix for it

i ended up trying it for myself even though it didn't work for u, and it actually ended up working for me
i'll give u detailed steps for what i did and maybe it'll work for u too
(this is all on CWM recovery)
after backing up i factory reset (wiped data), wiped cache, wiped dalvik, and formatted /system
then i flashed the latest CM7 nightly (195), then i flashed gapps
i wiped cache and dalvik again then i flashed faux's 0.4.4 CM SV kernel
i then pessimistically rebooted and voila for the first time i had a functional CM7 rom....i've put the screen to sleep about 10 times so far and it awoke every time so i think it should be fixed
I hope it works for you. I probally didnt see my first SOD until maybe 50 or 60 sleeps.
well I used to get the SOD on the first sleep so its definitely an improvement for me...i'll let you know if it lasts i guess

Cannot Install Custom Kernel

This is a strange problem that I only started to have once I installed Team Nekkid 7.2 RC dated 3/29.
I can flash the ROM no problem, wipe dalvik and fix permissions and I'm good to go without any issues. But if I flash the ROM, then either morfic or faux kernel, then gapps, when I go to wipe dalvik, all I get is a quick screen flash with no option to actually wipe dalvik.
I go back and wipe the overall cache completely, fix permissions, the reboot. I am now stuck at the morfic boot animation until i pull battery.
If i try to install a Faux kernel, same thing happens with dalvik, but gets stuck at the blue LG screen.
Once i battery pull and get back to CWM, i wipe everything, reflash ROM and gapps, wipe dalvik and fix permissions no problem and boot up into whatever ROM i choose.
EDIT: Went back and flashed Bionix 1.4.1 and was able to flash a Faux kernel and wipe dalvik. Booting up this ROM now.
I also have NO problem with ICS ROMS/kernels.
When you say NO PROBLEMS with ICS ROMs, does that include Google Maps and the stock browser working perfectly??
Which ICS ROMs have you tried? How is battery life?
Thanks!
Flash kernel last, and redownload the kernels!

I did all of that. I flashed the kernel before and after gapps but end up with the same result.
I have a feeling there is an issue with the CWM since I am constantly flashing roms/kernels and have never had these problems before. I'm at work so I cant use the Nvidia tool to flash CWM so I have to wait until I get home.

I usually just follow the instructions precisely by the OP. (Wiping/formatting, flashing rom, gapps, restart + let 10 min stand if required by OP) I have not installed another kernel that what the ROM has included. Should I try that? If yes, which one? I currently have EGB AOSP ICS 4.0.4
[UPDATE] Ok I got it now. Just read your last message

Short answer: yes, install a different ROM
Long answer: go to the developing section of the G2X forums and find out the info with the countless threads.

I've tried 3 different ICS roms and read hundreds of posts and found nothing that would fix the maps and browser issues. I guess I have to wait a bit more for the devs to work on them. Maybe the lack of drivers is the problem.

Look for Owain's Unnoficial Build 55 thread, and use Firefox browser, that is the most complete ICS ROM and Firefox doesnt have the rotation problem.

I was just downloading that ROM
Thanks!
My main concern is Google Maps not working properly. I rely on it in my job a lot and can't have it blanking out on me like that.
I've tried the replacement solution for the stock browser - I installed Dolphin HD. I'll try Firefox, though. Haven't used that on a phone since I had the Nokia N900 - Ah, the good times when I still believed in Nokia
Thanks for your help!

If the maps shows up and then goes blank, simply close the map and re-open it.
I know the close/reopen "trick," but I thought there might be a ROM that just has the Gmaps working. If there's none I'll just wait. Is Owain's unofficial 55 based on 4.0.4 ? I'm also going through his thread now in hopes of finding it. I'll probably just flash and see then.

whatsapp problem on CM9

Hello!
I flashed CM9 RC2 recently and now whatsapp doesn't work. I get warning after installing it saying that custom rom might cause whatsapp not to work properly. After starting whatsapp it simply closes down.
Before CM9 RC2 i used HyperSensation Rom (2.9 i think), and it worked normally without any problems.
Is there anything i can do to get this to work besides reflashing ROM?
Thank you.
Delete the data of the app.. Un-install it and install it again that might help
Sent from my pyramid using blazing fast sonic waves
Tried that several times. Problem still persists.
EDIT: Just to report. Eventually i installed latest AOKP rom from their site (Milestone 6), and it works fine now.
ive had this same problem. I am usuing the CM9 RC2 right from the cyanogen mod website for samsung captivate ATT. if i install the AOKP rom you think it will work. and if i do whats the difference between AOKP build 40 and milestone 6.
edit: ok i installed milestone 6 and still did not work. what the hell

AOKP builds marked with number (for example: build 40) are something like beta builds and are more likely to have bugs. Milestone builds are more stable releases.
Regarding problem with whatsapp. Seriously i dont know why is this happening. I tried searching net and found couple guys with same problem but nobody offered solution. As i said in my first post, i used hypersensation which was build on one of earlier CM9 releases and it worked fine. So i would suggest to try some earlier releases of AOKP or CM9 or some rom from XDA based on them.
could you please provide me with a link to the rom you used. i will try that one
Here is hypersensation. However i used 2.9 version based on CM9, current version is 3.1. Download is in post 2. In post 3 you can find AOKP roms, but i haven't tried these.
I am using a samsung Captivate. will this rom work for me
My guess is no. You should probably go to Samsung Captivate forum and check there. I don't know anything about Captivate.
