I have been having problems with my phone recently. I was previously running stock 2.1 rooted on Wind mobile. It had been working fine since I bought it in Dec 2010.
I seem to recall leaving my phone unplugged for a short amount of time (like a couple hours) and then when I picked it up the battery had been completely drained (while idle). I plugged it in and started it up after a bit and the battery was suddenly running super hot, and it would reboot quickly after starting. The only time it stayed on long enough to check the temperature I saw 57c. I left it to charge and came back and the battery temperature seemed to be normal again.
However now since then I have been having a lot of trouble registering to the Wind network. Half the time it is showing as roaming, or cannot connect at all. Sometimes, like as I am typing this, it will show that I am connected to the home zone. I can make calls now, but I cannot receive any. I have flashed the phone to CM7.2, and initially the phone worked but the next day it started having the registration problem again.
I tried the SIM card on another phone and it worked. Anyone have any suggestions?
Or you got fryed your phone module.. or fryed sim card.
First of all i'll recommend to replace or try another sim.
Just a little update...
It seems to have been working better in the past week, I could connect properly 90% of the time, but couldn't sent any text messages.
I went to replace my SIM card at the store, they gave me a new one and now it seems to be working 100% fine. So I guess the sim card was the problem.
Something to note is that the sim card was the original one I got when I signed up, and my permanent normal number wasn't on the card, only the temporary one assigned to me for the first day. So that may have been causing the problems I started having.

I could be off on this one, but I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience to mine.
My phone locks up or restarts multiple times a day. I figured it was a hardware issue, and I've already got a replacement on the way. However, I noticed that when I removed my 32GB sdcard and placed it back in my old phone, that the G2X stopped freezing and rebooting. I placed the 32GB card back in, and the rebooting resumed.
I'm curious if there's a chance that the G2X doesn't play nice with certain brands/sizes/speeds of sdcards. Has anyone else noticed this same trend?
I'm using a Sandisk 32GB C2 card. Works great on my MT4G (still), worked great on my Epic 4G & Droid 2. Card tests out fine, so I'm curious if this may be the "source" of the bug some users are experiencing. 32GB cards causing an issue? Slower cards? Anyone have any thoughts on this?
My phone has no SD card, and I have had a few freezes and 1 reboot since I got it on 4/20.
I can't put my phone on charger without having to pull the battery to get it to turn back on.
I noticed almost everytime I accessed my 32gb sdcard that 1/2 the time it locked up.... it seems to scan the card way more than was done with my N1. Anyway...I had antivirus installed. Y the one by avg. So I uninstalled it and since I had lookout on my phone Amway...I enabledits antivirus. And it cut down. severly on freezes.
The other thing I noticed is only do your overnight charging with the LG charger that came with your G2x. Or any long term charging I think.
Also... I know this sucks...but if I turn off my phone and turn it back off every morning I do not get reboots or wake up to a dead phone. I saw this mentioned in another thread somewhere and it seems to work. After I hit about 24-48 hours of uptimei get issues.
Well I hope some of this helps.
Heya! Im new on this site, but i got it recommended by a friend of mine. I have this mindbreaking problem. The thing is, a couple of nights ago, i came home from this party, and i was, very tired. To this party, i had brought my old phone instead of my brand new Desire S, so that no damage would be inflicted. So i removed the battery, to put my sim card in, while it was charging. The charging light was green tho' (dont know if that makes any difference). Now, the next morning, my phone went crazy, saying the sim card was full. And the phone was just generally really slow, not really responding and stuff. I restarted it, and then it said it had recovered from a system breakdown. Now my phone seems normal, but it brings me in such pain, not knowing wether my phone works as it should, or not. I could possibly know this since i only had my Desire S one day before the incident.
What to do?
Could anyone help me?
BTW i would've lovede og someone answered

The green light indicated that the battery was charged to 100% so therefore didn't need further charging.
The error message that you received comes as a result of you removing the battery while the phone was party operational, in deep sleep mode. You need to disable the fast boot option (within Settings->power->Fast boot) in order to fully power it off.
I can't explain the phone slow behavior but unless the same thing has happened again since, I don't believe that this is anything to worry about.
I don't really understand the SIM card full comment, has the limit of SIM card contacts possibly been reached? Check the number of ocntacts that are stored on the SIM. Although with a phone like this contacts should ideally be stored in the cloud ie, Google/Facebook etc and not directly on the SIM, so I'd suggest moving them.
So, I'd do nothing and see what happens if anything again.
However if it continues, a factory reset would be my next move.

Strange issue with my G2X. It has worked perfectly since having it replaced due to the reboots a month ago. An hour ago I used it just fine, sending a few texts and making a phone call. Now, I turn it on, and the phone no longer gets service and the battery inidicator (stock no roms) just shows a circle instead of the the green/orange/red charge levels. I tried putting it in airplane mode and back out to refresh the signal but it simply became stuck in airplane mode. Attempting to turn off airplane mode through long press just grayed out the option. Doing it through settings force closed Android.Settings after a couple of seconds. Pulled the battery and waited a little bit, turn it back on, still the same issues. Has anyone else seen this before with their G2X or other Android phones?
Try pulling the battery while the phone is still on?

I was able to find the culprit. Never would have expected my 8gb SD Card (Not internal) to be the reason my phone suddenly crapped out on me. Removed the card and the phone worked just fine. I'll replace it with a new one after I am able to copy my files off.
Hi guys,
I recently ran into this problem after I woke one morning to my alarm clock blaring for about half an hour, the phone was pretty hot but not unbearably hot. I took out the battery and left the phone to cool down til trying to boot again, when I did the phone booted fine but it soon shut off again 5-10 seconds into loading into android. I assumed the heat knocked the charge out of the battery / something went wrong with the reading of the battery (as it read like 85%) so I just plugged it into the charger and left til it said it was full. It doesn't shut off by itself and works fine while on the charger regardless. But as soon as I unplug the phone dies within a few seconds. So I turned off the phone and let it charge overnight, woke again to the same issue and the battery reading 85% again. Before I booted back up though I tried the "Wipe Battery Stats" thing in CWM hoping that maybe it would fix it after I fully charged but it made no difference. Also I found that the phone is able to run off the charger when I severely underclock it to 250MHz but obviously it's too damn slow for every day use at that speed. As soon as I clocked it up to 480MHz it had the same issue again. I forgot to mention I was rooted with CWM, unlocked bootloader and on stock rom. After this I decided to revert to my pre-root back up rom from CWM and I still had the same issue.
The final thing that seems to make it work is removing the sim, I tried booting this morning without sim and the phone functions flawlessly even while under a heavy stress test without turning off. So I tried inserting another sim, this one not active. Issues start up again...
Any Ideas guys? Seems to me like if the phone is pulling "too much power" the phone auto shuts itself off. But then the SIM thing perplexes me, not really sure how it all affects.
Lastly, do you think I can still claim on my warranty? I've had this phone for just under a month and it's still in perfect condition... I really don't want to switch back to my chopped and screwed Motorola Flipout. But atleast that thing could handle the overheating pretty damn well. Also I didn't get this on contract I bought it outright from a reseller as a prepaid phone.
In the Netherlands, the warranty for a phone battery is set to six months by law, just contact HTC, and find out.

I have an HTC ONE m7 that is about a year old and is rooted and running omni rom. It has been rooted for about 6 months and I had been running cyanogonmod and everything was running fine until last week when I got the dreaded sim card error. a restart of the phone did the trick. 2 days later it happened again and this time a restart did not work and my phone was out of commission for about 4 hours as I tried everything to fix it (including a full wipe of cyanogen and a fresh install with omni rom) with no success. Then one random time I restarted it popped back up and everything was fine. Now over the last few days it keeps giving me the sim error and only goes away after random amounts of time and restarts. If the error does go away and I have service. I get 4g LTE for about 10 minutes before I lose the ability to make any calls/texts or have any data connectivity. I have tried the scotch tape trick with no success as well as changing my APN. I'm sadly starting to think this may be a hardware issue.
As of yesterday I have found that my phone will now read the sim if it is cooled down. Meaning whenever it is even the slightest bit warm the phone will not read the sim at all but once I cool it down (laying it on top of an AC vent) the phone works as normal.
Any thoughts??
