I've flashed v21Y.kdz and have only been rocking it for about 4 days now. Everything is stock including kernel, I don't even have CWM installed but it is rooted. Also before install 21Y I wiped everything using CWM for a fresh start.
The phone was just sitting there, no music or any app was running. I also changed battery in the phone early this morning. I also noticed that yesterday and early today before changing the battery the phone was a bit laggy, but should not be the cause of the reboot because I pulled the battery this morning.
I don't want to keep the stock rom but im loving the new baseband. I'm waiting for cyanogenmod to make a new release to work with the new baseband and then I will make the switch.
Are you using the stock battery?

Yes I am.
I'm just waitting for CM too, this rom is ok but I love CM roms, I think it's more stable for me, I don't know, just hope for a release that it's compatible with the new baseband
Might be a while since most of the roms, besides the 2.3.4 that kwes worked his magic on, are all based on the original July 15 baseband. The groups would have to find reason to update their roms on the July 15 baseband provided that enough users have converted and it proves reliable.
Today my phone shut off as well, It didn't reboot, I had to turn it back , I updated it thru lg, hopefully it don't happen again :-( I would of thought this update would of fix most -if not all -of those issues

Yeah I've had the update for almost a month now, and I've had a couple of reboots, but it seems to reboot when certain batteries are in the phone. I've got an anker, 2 refurbed stock, a fresh stock, and an extended 3500mah beast. On one of my refurb stock batteries I get reboots, on the anker I haven't experienced any, on the fresh stock no reboot, on the other refurb no reboot, and the 3500mah it will still reboot occasionally.
I haven't done a master reset, which a lot of people are saying will fix some of the problems. Also, sometimes the battery meter will just stay stuck and a percentage and won't go down as the battery is still drained <<< This is temporarily solved by a restart, but I think that would be fixed permanently by a master reset. I also get a dialer is busy error every now and then when a call gets dropped out of nowhere and I try to call back and apologize that I have t-mobile.
Also, just checked out the lg forum and an lg employee wrote some type of da vinci code message >>>>>>> http://support.lgforum.com/lg/topics/g2x_allinone_update

yeah, on one of my batteries I got over 200 hours uptime with no slow down or anything. Supposedly the lg stock battery is just manufactured by sanyo, so when it comes to batteries it seems like a crap shoot to me, but then again, I love rolling dice! Yoooooooooo!

Just talked to a friend from vzw, he told me that if something happened he will hook me up with a replacement for my tbolt.
I've been using gb radio since the 1st day it was leaked, i have no problems on my phone, just some random FCs but that's given.
Since we don't have a solid demographics on how many people got bricked, Im going to take the risk and see if i get bricked.
This morning i just got into a bootloop but looks like its just the battery giving false stats. Its been more than 6 hours now in my external charger and i assume battery doesn't hold charge anymore, Im going tommorow to vzw to have it replaced.
Question is, will logcat be enough to monitor my phone in case i got bricked so i can pull some important data regarding how it happen?, that way we can find a clue on how to fix a radio-bricked tbolt.
Have you cleared battery stats under cwr advanced?

From what I've read, that's not possible as the bootloop happens even booting into recovery.

Lol you obviously didn't read his post. No risk involved.
I hope someone could shed a light to my questions.
1st. How does the radio firmware work on our phone? Does it work like a driver where it acts a mediator between the roms(software) to the phone's hardware.
2nd. What are the possible trigger to recreate the bootloop of death? There are some cases that my phone overheats because of non responsive apps and ever since i flashed on GB rom there i times i can feel my phone hot, which could be the case from some of the boot loop victim that they fried something inside their phone.
3rd. What are the chances that same bootloop of death could also occur in froyo radio? Just because vzw officially released the radio doesn't mean it has same risk like the leaked GB radio. It is like how HTC manufactured the phone, they tested most of it but some are still lemons.
Everything is in theory right now, there are no fix because it happens in random and the reason is still unknown. I'd choose to participate for the fix instead of waiting for someone to figure out the fix. We all do take a bold step in rooting our phone, flashing different roms, putting our faith on the battery that it wouldn't fail during the flashing process. Once we modified our phone from its stock settings we acknowledge the risk, and that risk is the one of the few factors the fuels the development of the rom/kernel community.
I've noticed several repacks of the GB radio:

I just called verizon 611. My phone is not bricked and still functioning properly, but i told the operator that my phone constantly reboots( I pretended that my phone was bricked), i was passed to higher level tier support and they said they will be sending a new phone to me and there will be an extra envelop where i need to put my old phone to return to them. The call only took me 10-15 minutes and I believe VZW is aware that Tbolt has this issue even if its GB or the stock froyo rom.
i reverted back last night but i will def be back once things are more stable.. i already miss it

Anyone that has had reboot problems on their thunderbolts, still experiencing them after updating?
Wife's tbolt starting rebooting a couple times a day about a week ago. Did the update friday night and has rebooted twice since then. Thinking it might be hardware related if others have had their reboots fixed.
Probably going to call verizon next time it does this to try and get a replacement.
I've had only one that I've noticed so far, but that makes it less than the 3-4 daily I noticed with the most recent leak prior (mr2.5 thingee)
No reboots for me since the update. Of course Verzion only claimed this OTA would reduce the number of reboots not do away with them. I hope for you that they don't try to pull then when you ask for a new unit.
Start over from scratch do an app backup...uninstall all apps restart phone try favorite app first give couple hours or a day. slowly put apps back on right down time and date each app installed .doing this is a p.i.t.a .....some apps dont play nicely with others ...plus you dont want a p.o.s.reman phone....anyways this might take a couple of days.....sometimes verizon wont shoot from the hip and just replace .. reason i say this for a while 1st thing they do is hard reset phone and start over ...more or less have to prove problem make sure everytime u call have them note the account....lets see 10 imagios 6 collasped buttons 4 bluetooth failures .....fun fun...nothings easy with verizon

same story -- i'm still getting them occasionally but not as often. I was all excited about the update, but a few hours after it installed I was browsing the web and - bam - reboot. It's like a slap in the face. I've also been having a serious problem with my TB just discharging itself overnight... while plugged into the wall charger. I wake up and it has a completely dead battery which is a major PITA, doubly so because I use it as my alarm clock.
My TB has been up since the update on Friday. It used to reboot multiple times a day. Hope this lasts for me.
I'm stock and unrooted.

I have never had a reboot and I have been rooted since a week after owning the TBolt... I guess just lucky
Haven't had a reboot since memorial day weekend.
Never had a reboot before or after the update....I just bought my Tbolt two weeks ago, maybe they corrected the rebooting issues with the current hardware?? I mean if users are still rebooting after the update maybe its not software...
I've been really really lucky here I guess. I bought my Thunderbolt about a week after it came out and have had maybe 3-4 reboots since then. I have gone through a few roms/kernals/radios but never any issues. It must just be a hit/miss thing with hardware to be honest. Either that or the network, I'm in West Lafayette maybe our network is just far superior
The only gripe I have had is shutdowns, which IMO are more annoying because I can't just turn it back on, I have to pull the battery and wait a couple minutes before putting it back in and then waiting another minute before it responds to the power button to turn it back on again.
All in all I am happy with it compared to all others complaints on reboots. I would rather have a small number of reboots/shutdowns than a refurbished phone with possibly more issues.
I've been rebooting still like CRAZY. Before and after the update. I got on Verizon and received my phone on Thursday. It was rebooting over and over and over... I noticed it happened if I left wifi coverage at work or home. Even after the update, same thing! Rebooting over and over like no tomorrow.
I noticed that with LTE on it would loose connectivity all together until I manually rebooted. If I was on Edge or 3G it would stay up longer. I have since then turned off LTE and it has been fine, but still reboots every few hours.

I have had 1 reboot after having mine for over a month or so now. Been rooted since day 1 and have changed radios multiple times along with ROMs/Kernels. I guess we are both lucky?
Never once had a reboot. Custom rom since day one though. Stock sucks.
On a helpful side though. Always best to do a hard reset after a update. I know its a pain but it is the best solution normally.

I updated my phone (flashed stock 2.2 rom, flashed stock recovery, then used LG updater tool, then ran recovery after flashing) to 2.3 on the day v21e was released and from the day after flashing I am still having to do battery pulls as the phone locks while in standby. Am I the only one having this issue or are there others as well? hopefully the official release doesn't have this problem.

I've had lockups since day 1... It's gets me so mad. I have a replacement coming in a few days. I've tried everything... Rooting, unrooting, and the 2.3.3 update didn't fix anything! But one thing which was weird, is that 2 days ago, when I was at Oceanport, NJ Warped Tour, my phone was in my bag. It was about 98 degrees outside, and my phone was really hot... It managed to stay on the entire time... WHICH WAS WEIRD! But I hope my replacement doesn't have an problems.
My dad has a G2X with NO PROBLEM AT ALL. Absolutely NO screenbleeding whatsoever! and he's NEVER had a lockup/reboot!
7/29 EDIT: I received my replacement G2X in the mail yesterday, and it appears that all of my issues are gone!
I think I'm going to wait until the upgraded ones come out and try to do a return for the newest ones.
I am having the same problem. I got a new g2x about 2 months ago. it was perfect. lost it. got a replacement and have had the same issue you are having. after update i still have the same issue. i just leave it on the charger. i set it to not sleep while charging and it will not shut down. as soon as it is unplugged it will shut down.

I did that as well, twice actually, but that didn't fix the issue.
I'm trying an experiment by uninstalling setcpu and juicedefender and just letting the kernel manage my cpu. I expect less overall battery life, but I'm hoping that by eliminating the screen-off profile and constant radio on/off, maybe...just MAYBE it might help with my sleep of death, freezes, and random reboots.
I have sinced changed where screen wont timeout for thirty minutes I did two factory resets since update and still does not work time to return or change the rom.

I had very few random reboot issues before the GB update. Maybe 4 or 5 in the months that I've owned the G2x.
Since the GB update I've had several each day. I've hopped around onto various ROMs to see if one would correct the issue and to date, none have. I'm considering restoring my Froyo nandroid to see if that gets my stability back.
Tmo is sending new replacement. Finally got tired of attempts to fix.

You had a defective unit, software wouldn't fix it. If it was a "kernel" issue. One of the custom kernels on XDA should've fixed it.
My g2x froze all the time while idle. I read a thread once that claimed upping the minimum CPU clockspeed to 312MHz fixed the problem, so I used SetCPU to increase it and it stopped freezing after that. Reboots were another issue though...
I've had my G2X for about a month, and have been experiencing the common issue where my phone randomly shuts off and the only way to get it to turn back on is to pull the battery.
I've installed the GB update, that didn't fix it. Factory reset didn't help either.
Has anyone successfully fixed this issue on their phone? If so, what'd you do? Is there any chance that rooting my phone would correct the problem?
Sorry if there was a post about this, I couldn't find anything talking about if anyone's been able to fix the problem.
Thanks
yes... the onlyhh way to fix the problem is to root! nvflash clock work mod recovery, then flash eagle blood 2.3.3 rom and it is perfect...
Thanks, this did indeed seems to do the trick. Not a single reboot so far after 2.5 days.

My G2X actually restarted on its own today. It was the first time since the first few days I had the phone over a month-month and a half ago. Wasn't really a big deal, lol. It comes back on.
Have been playing with this phone for 3 days now and haven't had any issues (I did install xboarder's stock rooted version). Minor screen bleed is the only issue.

Next time my wife's G2x locks up, I'm rooting and putting a ROM on it.

Will do, so far so good! I had no experience with rooting, and was able to figure it out looking at the guides available on the forum. It kind of looks intimidating, but it's not actually very difficult.

Mine did both actually, shut down and restarts. But mostly just shut downs, which required a battery pull to power back on.
My 2 will do both - but I think the "shut-off" is a lock up, because the longer I leave it locked up, the less battery I'll have after I do a battery pull.
8 days of both phones not locking up by doing one restart per day per phone.
Since I raised the minimum CPU speed to 389 from 216, I have far fewer sleeps of death
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.
I've tried every ROM and kernel combination possible and nothing actually fixes these problems for me.
Wow this post was scary at first, I had a thunderbolt and no matter what. RUU, Different ROMS, Stock, Kernels, Radios. Changing all that didn't matter it still turns off constantly and doesn't turn back on till I do it meaning no text or calls, basically same as having a phone on silent all the time without even having the luck chance of pulling it out while ringing.....
I am on miui x.26 (whatever kernal that comes with it) and have over 40 hours of uptime. I haven't had a crash yet, I just manually restart every couple of days because I'm weird like that.
Sent from my LG-P999
Well 6 days into it and I've had a total of 2 shutdowns. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but both times were after being outside when it was ~90 degrees out.
This is still much improved, I used to get 3-4 per day on average.
I'm using Eaglesblood 2.3.3. I'm thinking of trying MIUI because it's so nice looking.
For me I did a battery replacement the first time directly from T-Mobile and the phone continued restarting on me. I was just about to request a replacement phone from T-Mobile until I recently purchased a different brand of battery containing the same specs as the stock battery and to my surprise no overheating and definitely no restarts. I feel that the restarts and lockups are due to faulty batteries shipped out with the phones. I'm suprised no one has mentioned this.

I didn't have time to ask. She didn't really comment and gave me my phone back.

ok so do they know what exactly is causing the shut downs or reboot on this phone? i just got mine today and it was pre installed with gingerbread and idk if there is root for the gingerbread build yet. i just want root but no custom rom for me. i love the stock rom. it kicked the crap out of my sensation 4g as far as speed goes in everyday use.
Why are our sensations rebooting like crazy these days?At first, I thought it was just my phone,but soon realized everyone has the same issue.
No matter what ROM I install, my phone turns off randomly. Whats going on? Someone please help if they have a solution cos I am seriously beginning to hate my sensation.
It has been about a year since most sensations were bought...
That's 500 charging cycles and for some batteries that's enough
Take your battery out and see if it got swollen or some liquid oily marks are visible, or even tiny silvery cracks.. those indicate the battery is dying.

Could this reboots be caused by bad radio or firmware? I am getting them too, pretty often and the story is same - different roms, nothing changed.

Need more information. Are you overclocking too high? Undervolting? Flashing back and forth between kernels without reverting some of the files they change? Mixing 3.32/3.33 firmwares and ROMs? Matching radio/RIL combos? Restoring old data through Titanium Backup? There's a whole bunch of stuff that could cause reboots TBH.
Have you tried running stock (firmware, kernel, ROM, radio) for a few days to see if the reboots keep coming? If they do, then it's your hardware and you should look into warranty if you still have one. If not, then it's something you're doing during your setup process.
I've just been running rooted stock ICS lately and my phone has been incredibly stable. I did get some reboots last week, but it turns out they were caused by the recent update to Google Maps. I uninstalled the updates and the problem went away.
Had mine a year and never had reboot issues!
You know what I love most about this thread?
The complete lack of usefull information like logcats, last_kmsg, and other logs as well as kernel info, firmware info, UV status/OC status.
@OP get those things then we can help more
My guess is you've updated your gmaps. Anything that uses any oart of gmaps/location service is fubared on the last update.
Thanks guys for the replies. Well as suggested I have formated my sd card,super wiped (using ARHD superwipe script) and installed the viper 1.1 ROM.So far no reboots, and I will not update google maps.Have been changing ROM's like crazy, so this must have messed up my phone. I will post logcats and other info if I get reboots now.
Again thanks for all your inputs guys, was about to throw away my phone.
