I have been keeping up with the updates hopeing each one will fix my problem but not yet. I don't see others with the issue.
I'm running the latest Test4(Test3) using Slayhers stock kernel. Everything works awesome except intermittently I lose connection whether I'm using Wifi or 3G(No 4G in my area). The only way I've found to get it back is reboot.
Is this a widespread issue or just me?
Same issue here. I live in 4G area. Intermintent Data Loss. If i switch to CDMA i get a 3G but CDMA/LTE i get nothing. I had data allday yesterday but none today.
I think the RIL is still being worked out. Bear in mind that this is a Pre Alpha Pre release. Also LTE is something completely new to the world of CM and to American cell phones. I've run CM on 3 different devices and I will tell you that by the time nightlies roll around, it will be near perfect. The CM team won't put their name behind something that is half working, half assed, etc. Be patient.
I had the same problem but now I have a small problem. I have a very fast wifi setup at home but it doesn't like to actually connect to it. Looks like 3G is riding shotgun for a while.

One thing I read about the WIFI is, try turning the WIFI on then reboot with the WIFI on to see if you then connect.
Yeah, I think we'll all be experiencing this until the crew addresses it in a future update. However, it is still a great start. Not a whole lot of major issues, no deal breakers. I'm still using it as my DD.
Definately!!! I love the cm7 build and I'm thankful for all the work. Just wasn't sure if there was an easy fix I had missed.
Thanks all!

For those of you who are experiencing the random reboot issue on the stock rom, would anyone be willing to do a factory reset without installing any apps and testing for a while to see if they still have the reboot?
I want to find out if this issue is a problem related to specific g2x's, or is triggered by some kind of software installed.
The reason why I want to test this out is because I have gone through 6 phones(waiting for 7th), and I can not recreate this problem on any of them running the same restored nandroid backup.
Also, for those of you who have gone through multiple g2x's, have you had phones with reboots and also ones without the issue
Since it seems LG is not recognizing this as a known issue, it most likely won't be fixed in the update they announced. Therefore its up tous to try find the cause of this issue whether it is device specific or due to certain apps installed.

If it a software related issue, it couldn't be the ROM since some people have this issue on other roms. It could be the kernel but all g2x's come with the same kernel out of the box IIRC and only some people are having the issue.

I never had a reboot issue in Arizona and I just got back to Ohio today and i have randomly rebooted 4 times today and I had to do a battery pull this morning... crack that nut for me
I went through 2 G2x's.
First one stock, rooted, and CM7 - all ways would reboot.
Second one, stock, rooted and CM7, all ways would reboot, so I tried it stock and CM7 without any added on apps - same results both stock and CM7.

It seems that people who are getting reboots, are getting reboots across multiple g2x's, while people who aren't getting reboots, don't have the issue across multiple g2x's. So there must be some kind of installed software related thing that is not playing nice and causing the phone to reboot itself. There isn't enough info in order to make a definite diagnosis to the source of the problem yet which is why I made this topic.
I feel that it's definitely software b/c I've been running the leak without any reboot issues. They still need to also fix the kernel too

what is confusing me is if it is software, why is it only affecting some people? the leak is running a different kernel so that could possibly be why you aren't getting reboots, but something must be triggering it that the people who have the issue have down/installed etc.

Orrrrr...perhaps it related to the network somehow? Strength of signal or need for the phone to switch between 4G/2G? Or perhaps trying to go to the ever elusive 3g (since I still haven't seen a report of someone actually seeing 3g in the notification bar). Maybe folks with reboots are in fringe areas and the phone oscillates between 4g and 2g and doesn't like it? Maybe those folks use their phones differently...leave BT on all the time and run apps that access GPS regularly. Or any other number of possibilities.
It's too easy to blame an app.
I know that one of the barcode scanning apps caused my phone to lock up, and sometimes reboot.

Thats why I'm asking people to participate in this experiment. By eliminating variables one by one we can try to single out the cause.
EDIT: also, the 4g signal shows for both 4g and 3g. The only way u can tell which one you are on is by going to "about phone". UTMS is 3g then there hspa(+).

Mine actually rebooted randomly very often. It didn't matter what rom I had (Stock, Eagle, CM7). I tried everything.... factory resets, removed apps, etc. It's just very random when it decides to reboot. Sometimes when I'm using google maps, sometimes when I'm trying to text, or when I'm playing with an app. It got so annoying that I had to return the phone.
I noticed that the times my G2x has rebooted was when it got hot. For example, if I charge it, talk and surf at the same time it will start getting hot and either freeze or reboot. Sometimes just charging it will freeze it.
I'm trying out a new battery and so far the phone seems to run cooler...its 25.2c right now and I've been playing with the phone for a while...with the stock battery I dont remember the temperature below 27c ever...sometimes with heavy use I would see it go as high as 43c...
it's only been one day with the new battery but I'll let you guys know how it behaves the next few days.

Well android leaves apps open. There is no exit button on the apps that kills it. I religiously kill tasks and check to see what's running. Is there any type of reporting app that will tell you what was running at the time of the reboot like maemo/N900 has?
As far as I know, I have not had one reboot. Has not been a full week though. If it was rebooting in the night, I guess I wouldn't know it.
Hell, I haven't had any real probs. My Gps was way off, but I rebooted it outside and it's been dead on since.
I love my G2X.
I just got an exchanged phone due to reboot/shutdown issues. I did not install any 3rd party software, and i had a shutdown that required a battery pull while it was on the factory charger.
Not sure if I should keep exchanging until I get one that works or not...

I'm bringing this up because I am having 4G issues in my place. The data cuts in and out a lot, and sometimes hangs with the up arrow lit, forcing me to use 3G for the time being. I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems.
I am also thinking if VZ is throttling or not, but 17 days into my billing cycle so far, I have used only 2.5 gigs, hardly a reason to be considered excessive.

I doubt verizon is throttling. You are proly in a 4G fringe area. If you don't need 4G all the time, you should change the radio to CDMA auto. Your battery will quickly drain looking for 4G signal (or trying to hold on to a weak signal)

I'm well inside the 4G area, and it worked well where I live until about a week ago, and its been flaky ever since.
what25,
You are not alone. Did you find a solution to the problem? If not, I hope you didn't do anything drastic.
I also have the problem (in Houston, on thunderbolt) and have found others on xda dev and rootzwiki that are having similar issues (also in Houston area). It's not just you. It also seems to be only thunderbolt users.
I'll post the links to others having the problem. Also, have you noticed it in general or has it only been with certain apps. For a while it was a problem with my 4g connecting. Now the 4g is connected but hardly loads. Plenty of apps seem fine, maybe slower. But it is mainly Google services that don't work. My Google voice doesn't work at all. I don't get notifications for new messages and the messages don't load in the main screen. Google plus doesn't load at all. Youtube is very slow, and the stock browser is also barely usable. I've had the problems for about the past 4 days (I think I really started noticing on Friday). These problems only occur on 4g by the way, not 3g.
Please respond if your situation sounds like it's the same problem.

Same here (Webster). I started the thread at Rootzwiki, here are the details of my problem:
"I'm having the strangest problem, my browser is not cooperating with 4G. Especially with Google, the progress bar just sits there nearly indefinitely. It can load full sites, such as topgear.com, but it hangs at the end before the bar is full.
I can toggle down to 3G and it works fine. I'm currently running the OTA MR2 radio. This started, however, some time after I flash Chingy's latest leak. I've flash radios back and forth a couple of times, cleared cache and dalvik, clear Internet application data, I've even done a complete wipe (wiped everything twice) and re-flashed without restoring anything what so ever. Nothing works other than toggling down to 3G.
That being said, it's not a connection issue. I can tether and it runs great, speed tests ran from the phone have good results and most application that use data are fine. I'm baffled.
Any suggestion? Any one ran into something like this?
Thanks."

Yea I would describe the situation as very similar.
The browser would be very slow, or sometimes hang, when trying to load a webpage. When on 3G, everything works fine. My GMails have been getting delayed notifications on 4G as well. Havnt checked youtube, but I assume a similar situation would arise.
I switched back to mr1 radio and lte to no avail. What the hell, it's been 4 days. Has anyone contacted Verizon about this issue yet?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Apparently the issue has to do with the DNS settings. Not sure why Verizon changed their DNS on us. Here's a thread on rootzwiki that contains the solution to fixing.
rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1763-Browser-not-liking-LTE&p=39618#post39618
i called and no one has reported it. i put in my report and after so, i decided hey i wanna try the nightly synergy. 7/25 on 2.75 radio, now everything works. but just to make sure i wiped and flashed cm7 and omgb back for a fresh start, 4g locked on but still had the same problems. im in the Houston area as well, i work downtown and live off 8 and the not so newly opened 90, i get great coverage never loose 4g.
Very odd. If it was due to a particular radio, it should have resolved when you flashed another. If the fix posted by strwberrybened does not work, grab SetDNS from the market & change to GoogleDNS or OpenDNS
Yes, no 4G in Deer Park at around 3:15 pm this afternoon. I was at my doctor's office and noticed that I only had 3G. I was unable to access the Internet via my T-Bolt and rebooted, it restored the Internet but not 4G. I am charging my phone now and will check again soon. I am using the leaked radio posted just a few days ago on the RootzWiki site.
I'm in Deer Park too, also 4g is back to normal. About time, just do a normal reboot and 4g should be back to normal. No more 4g lag!

How do I get TWRP on this? I tried the ICS one from the TWRP Installer thread but that didn't work. Installing via Goo Manager is not an option without a network (No compatible Sim).

sweet! i will have to pick this phone back up and use it again.....
Here's something that may go for dev-bug, but...
I wiped my phone and applied the SlimBean R2 installer as well as the SlimGApps. Full factory reset, all that fun. So hopefully no remnants causing these symptoms:
Yesterday I ran Waze (driving/mapping app) on my SlimBean for ~45 minutes without ever getting a GPS lock. Rebooted, tried again for another 30 minutes. No GPS connection.
The GPS Status app says that it's not seeing any satellites at all... so apparently my GPS isn't even trying, as my phone with ICS normally sees 10-12 satellites here. After testing with GPS Status, reflashed SlimBean, reflashed SlimGApps, checked GPS Status again. Still not a single satellite seen. Recovery, flashed YAGF2.zip (Yet Another GPS Fix 2), system, GPS Status, still nothing.
I should probably note that the cell location has been working... Waze was giving guesses as to where I was currently located based on my cell towers. Obviously Wifi location isn't working without Wifi, so the question I have is... are other people using JB actually having GPS satellite locks, or is this another current JB bug? I ask because OP doesn't mention GPS issues, though people reported reboots when GPS tries to take effect. The only GPS thing I did before was making sure that Internal GPS was actually set as the GPS source in Location services, since that wasn't checked... Internal GPS was the only option, but it wasn't checked.
If you need logs or something, let me know what you'd like. Thanks.

Our phone is infamous for its horrible GPS, try this GPS patch and see what happens, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963915
Already had that downloaded. Let's give it a shot, and...
Reboot to recovery, flashing agps.patch.google.build.nossl.twrp.v3.1.zip, reboot to system, GPS Status sees...
Nothing. Still just "Looking for GPS location..." with no Compass (heading stays at 0 degrees) or satellites seen.
One more thing. I know it's been noted that the phone audio only works through the speaker, but music also only comes out through the speaker. At least, plugging into the headphone jack didn't make MortPlayer Audio Books actually come out through the car's sound system, it was still coming out of the speaker.

Read the notes if it doesn't work, let the GPS stay on. Try other methods on the notes.
Note 4:
This works with ANY ROM unless the ROM has aGPS and/or GPS disabled in the code. This happens with CMx nightlies and some betas! I cannot fix this, neither can you.
Click to expand...

So... as I'm asking, has anyone actually confirmed that GPS (not location services, but GPS itself) is enabled and working? The build.prop tweak that it suggests (Note 13) doesn't appear to apply, since neither this nor ICS (AOKPm6r5) have the ro.ril.def.agps.mode forced.
Also, note that as I said before, I've let GPS Status or Waze run for going on an hour without it seeing a single satellite... GPS is NOT ENABLED on my JB. Just like Wifi, except it's marked as 'on'. I'm wondering if this is my phone hating life and needing to offer up some logs, or if this is a standard issue. -_-
That being said, when I turned off GPS and just used cell location, I had my first random reboot on second location services call (Yelp's location check). After it finished rebooting, told it to start trying to use GPS again and it went back to just guessing wildly as to my location based on cell towers without ever using GPS (GPS Status never showed in the notification bar, no little coda to signify GPS lock attempt), but also without the reboots, so that was nice.
