I hear having random reboots/shut-offs are common with the G2X, but unlike the majority, I don't have these problems on stock, only CM7. I haven't played around with other custom roms enough to see if it's still there, as I like CM7 the best. I've tried both 7.1.0.1 and 7.2.0 RC1, along with both the standard CM7 and Faux DS UC kernels.
It seems to happen the most often when charging, plugged in without charging, or shortly after unplugging it from a charger. It sometimes happens randomly outside of that criteria.
I know it's not caused by any additional apps, as it can still occur after a clean CM7 install, unless it's an app included with CM7 that causes it. Has anyone been in this same situation, and installed a kernel that fixed it? Or switched to another similar rom that fixed the problem? I'd say it's battery or phone related if it occurred with the stock rom too, but it doesn't.

I've been getting random restarts, probably about 5-7 a day. I've tried tracking them to pin point a cause and it really seems completely random, sometimes when i'm just idling.
Also my sd card got fried or something, it said i have a blank sd card and would not let me format it. I replaced the card (with an 8 gig :-/) and it's working fine. (Still getting restarts though)
I'm running humble 1.2 rom but this has happened with every combo of kernel and roms including stock.
Anyone have any suggestions or similar experiences?
Hmm. Very odd. Similar issues have been reported with the Fascinate. Try COMPLETELY stocking your device and reinstalling the rom of your choice.
Protip: the Humble rom was designed with the PBJ OC/UV kernel.

Hey guys, tried a search but couldn't find anything. I am running a rooted stock 2.3.3 with faux kernel and for the longest time I had GPS disabled without knowing it (what can I say, I'm good with directions). I recently enabled it and have been getting reboots at random times while it is on. I turned it off today and have not had a crash yet, so I assume this is the problem.
Has anyone had or fixed this? I have thought about installing the weapon ROM, seems to get a lot of positive reviews for stability which is most important to me. If there is an easy fix though, I'd rather just stay put on my current setup.
Thanks!
It did the SOD thing last night when I was sleeping (had GPS off the whole day) so I figured something was buggy and wiped it to install weapon. Hopefully it works out *crosses fingers*.
I constantly have issues with my g2x. It works fine as long as i dont use gps or bluetooth. I use the gps when i drive and the phone constantly overheats shuts down and gets stuck at the lg boot logo and continues to get very hot. I have the same issues when the i use bluetooth. my car stereo lets me stream pandora over bluetooth and if used for a while the phone over heats and reboots and freezes mid boot. ive used stock kernels along with others with the same issue and there is NO overclocking and i have tried undervolting.
Thanks for any help
Current Rom CM 7.2.0 w/ stock kernel
Previous rom EB 2.3.7 using stock, faux and trinity kernel
same issue with both but Cm seems to take slightly longer to show problems
What ROM and kernel are you using? Also, are you using a car charger during this? I had a problem with car chargers causing this. Just because it physically fits doesn't mean it's the right one for your phone (ask me how I know haha)

I was using eb 2.3.7 and am now using cm7.2.0. I have tried stock, faux, and trinity kernels on eaglesblood and have only used stock with cm. I've also had past issues with car chargers but this happens while off the charger. With this phone i try to avoid charging it away from home since sometimes it tends to cause my phone to heat up.
So both me a my wife have the g2x, and we're both getting really fed up with them. My wifes phone is pretty unresponsive and crashes frequently, regardless of what rom she is using and if she starts from a clean flash. Could she be having a hardware problem? hers has never been overclocked at all.
My phone is much less problematic, but I still need to reflash about every 2-4 weeks, or else it becomes unusable. Whether it be the phone slowing down to a crawl, or like last week, I couldn't make calls after it being pulled from the charger until I restart. I seems like no matter what ROM I use, it always starts out blazing fast, then everything goes to hell in a few weeks. Both me and my wife are using the CyanogenMod Nightly from February (It has been the most stable to me, even more so than the march release).
Is there a more stable ROM that would suit us better?
At this point, I just want a phone that I don't have to mess around with for it to work, and have it keep working without having to reflash every month. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Stock ROM. But CM7.2 shouldn't be crashing on you like that. Do a full wipe?
Switch to old baseband (if you use Bluetooth) and flash weapon g2x. It is stock based with some nice mods

This just in... my IQ has increased 50 points thanks to the g2x!
Works fine for my P999DW
I'm currently using MIUI Stock w/ Optimizations. So far i haven't had any problems with this rom, and I've used it multiple times. It has a wide variety of themes that are very eye captivating, and even w/o OC my phone is blazing fast.
If you two love to install lots of apps and worry about your phone slowing because of excessive apps, then :good: MIUI.
I'm currently running on Trinity Kernal.
Also, if you don't prefer MIUI, and and still experience FC's and other instability errors, try getting a bigger microSD, and having apps like games, LW, etc. on the SD, saves more internal memory, and in turn, leaving more room for the smooth butter to glide :cyclops:
So I just switched to a Nexus 5 from a Galaxy S4.... loved the phone until I connected it to my Tundra OEM bluetooth system. Hard to pinpoint an exact problem, it just doesn't work right. Randomly disconnects, etc. I had zero issues with bluetooth with my GS4. Is there some fix I should be aware of? i should mention that I rooted the phone right off the bat and am running Cyanogenmod Nightly.
Try it on stock to see if you have issues. It's most likely a rom issue

I've had a similar problem on stock rom with stock, chaos, franco and arkenstone kernels so I don't think the rom or kernel is the root of the problem. It will arbitrarily not connect, it will connect but when a call comes in won't automatically go to bluetooth but go to the handset etc.
I had hoped it was fixed somehow but happened again today out of the blue. It also comes with excessive bluesleep wakelocks that impact my battery life significantly (goes from draining at .7%/hr to ~3%/hr).
