The main problem with my G2X is the sleep of death, which happens a lot. I get occasional reboots too, but not too often. I tried flashing EaglesBlood 1.05 and then CM7 nightly (7/6), which I'm on now, and I still get sleeps of death and reboots, with perhaps reduced frequency but still bad. Maybe it's the battery, though I don't have overheating/charging/battery drain issues, so I'm not sure what the problem is and if it's hardware or software. Any advice on what I should do would be appreciated - thanks!
I enabled "stay awake" and flashed faux's oc kernel and haven't had an sod in weeks on the stock rom.

Wouldn't that drain your battery much faster?
Also, I only seem to get the SOD when the phone is charging overnight, and I have a damn screen off profile set to underclock too, not even the lowest frequencies either so it cant be the freeze that that causes sometimes. Tho when it does and I figure out it is frozen asleep, it is usually hot. Might have to either get new battery or replacement. Tho what seems to heat up the most is the area around the camera, so I don't know if the battery or CPU are to blame.
No. Stay Awake only takes effect when your phone is plugged into a power source. Give it a try. I used to get 1 SOD per day. Since i made those changes I've had none in over a month. I posted the same thing in other SOD related threads but no one seems to care.
Thanks regP - I enabled Stay Awake and it seems to help. I've only had one SoD since. My new theory is that it relates to heat (leaving phone in the sun, running too many apps etc.). I've also noticed I don't get an SoD at work, where I get no reception and it's air-conditioned...might be related.
You also need to flash Faux's OC kernel. Even if you dont OC it gets rid of the faulty 300hz frequency that is believed to be part of the problem. Do that along with stay awake and you should not see any more SOD or reboots.
I've noticed I only ever got SOD when using any different kernel than what's in the original ROM. I have been on CM7 since RC1 and have been updating each nightly since and not touched the kernel and have not had a single SOD since, even when charging overnight. Only when I would try Faux kernel or Trinity kernel I would get SOD's.
I dunno then. completely stock for mean means sod and reboots. gingerbreak leak means sod and reboots. stocks + days kernel and stay awake means no sod or reboots. buddy of mine also cured his problems the same way.
For me stock froyo and gingerbread solves the problem.Initially when there was a call waiting sods used to occur, not in any other situation.I tired latest cm7 nightly with fauxs kernel,MIUI with fauxs kernel (and yes wiped cache , wiped dalvik cache and fix permissions and stay awake) but still sods.Then the stock froyo / gingerbread solves the problem for me.Hope this helps somebody.But my point is can I install the stock kernel with cm7 or MIUI ?.

no, miui and cm7 are both built from AOSP code and thus won't work with the stock kernel.
I guess I got lucky... never encounter the SOD or Reboot. Running cm nightly 163... I only update nightly when I notice major change only from change log.

So can you suggest any other kernel I should try to stop the sleep of death ?
I have two G2x - Stock Froyo and kernel, manually restart once per day - no SOD or async reboots. Both G2x did suffer from SOD (with or without heat) and reboots. Manual restarts are not as sexy as 3rd party kernels and roms, but it works.
My wife uses her G2x as an alarm clock - she gets in beds, manually shutsdown the G2x, restarts it, plugs into the charger, and it wakes her up in the morning. EVERY DAY.

my sod issues stopped when I enables "stay awake". never used anything but the included kernel of whatever Tom I decide to use.
What is the best solution for this? Makes me think i wasted good money on getting 2, for me and my girl. I tried that "stay awake" and same, shuts off out of nowhere. Ive flashed both faux kernel, same results. I dont experience it with CM but for me, stock its just more responsive BESIDES the shutoff. And Weapons rom just has too much addons.. Now people are saying that the SGS2 isnt all that because of benchscores.. And i wanted that phone.. But they make it seem like it isbt a big step forward.

Thanks for this. I'll be sure to use the "Thanks" button when i have enough posts. I'd been leaving the phone screen on in my pocket (using an alarm clock app) because it would SOD anytime i used the lock button. Working better already.
I keep on getting SODs ONLY when there is a call waiting in the background and this happens only with CM7,MIUI.When I flash the stock gingerbread or even weapons G2x,EaglesBlood ROM the sods that occur during call waiting vanish. Can anyone help me here ? I tried fauxs kernel along with Stay awake and increasing the minimum CPU frequency but failed. Any help will be appreciated.
For the people that SOD occurs on the charger, try another charger (instead of stock LG charger). I tried the Motorola micro USB charger which put out only 550mA (which came with the H730 bluetooth) and the SOD vanished.
Probably over heating with the LG charger which puts out 1000mA
Dont flame me, ive been on xda since the g1 so i know what im saying. I was looking for a stable rom because every one ive tried has random freezes and reboots not to mention the lag. I have voodoo enabled and i tried overclocking and normal clocking. I had a vibrant and switched it for a htc phone because of these problems. Since then i switched my Mytouch 4g for this one and i think i made a mistake.
The only time I have ever had these issues was when I installed the rom incorrectly. I understand that HTC is easier to flash than Samsung but that does not make Samsung any less of a phone. I have flashed every rom on here with the exception of the kf gb leaks. Once I had the rom properly installed I had no issues at all.

Im sure the roms are correctly installed, In your opinion which rom is the most stable so i can try it
Are you looking for a gingerbread rom or a froyo rom?
I never had any issues with icbinb froyo. stable and good battery life. I'm on Valhalla GB now and haven't had any issues once I wiped the data/cache and ran fix permissions.
I sometimes wonder what people mean when they say their phone is laggy. I've never really experienced anything laggy on my phone, but I do run a high speed (class 10) SD card, so maybe that has something to do with it. since a lot of apps run on the SD, a slow card would make a difference.
i have not had any problems with the ROMs i have tried. Froyo and GB ICBINB/Audiophile and Now I am on Valhalla. The battery life on the GB ROMs are great as is the performance. I run UV'd but can OC to 1.62 with zero stability issues.
Ironicly enough, I gave my fiancee the mytouch4g and switched back to the sgs4g. I too had a bit of concern, just last night. But I am certain these guys have got it together. If your a flash crack head like me, then you might appreciate the quality of quantity and the break from flashing every day. I hear there is great quality here.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
In my opinion the most stable was icbinb froyo. I never had any issues at all with it. However Valhalla once installed properly has had zero issues at all as well and with dsextons performance tweaks is probably my top pick.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
For Froyo, I ran Black Ice with Bali 3.3UV for months with zero issues.
Upgraded to GB with ICBINB KH2 and then Valhalla, had the annoying voodoo ext4 / busybox issues briefly (felt like I was taking a step backwards after how predictable Bali 3.3UV was) but thanks to the CWM flashable busybox installer that seems to be a thing of the past.
I would recommend either ICBINBKH2 or Valhalla as I like the stock GB theme. They have both been very reliable for me and IMO GB is light years ahead of Froyo.
I've never had "lag" issues with this phone when flashed correctly.....I hit a button and bam!
Only time I have had any issues was running any ROM with Launcher Pro. ICBINB with Zeam Launcher was the most stable for me. Right now I am still running Valhalla beta release with all tweaks, generally OC'd to 1.3, Zeam Launcher. This setup has been flawless so far, and I get about 40+ hours battery life.
You. Will. Obey. XDA Premium
or install any of the audiophile roms also
Thanks i will try all of the roms suggested in the thread, Im on Vallhala and its alright the only thing is that it randomly freezes or reboots when i try to do something while i listen to music or when im in the middle of a call.
That's very weird that you're getting these random freezes.
For your random reboots, remove your task killer if you have one. Be sure to fix permissions through CWM too. I used to get that problem on Froyo and GB as well, but after I removed my task killer, my rebooting problems officially stopped. Just to be safe, I fix permissions every time I install an app or flash something new.
I know you said you had experience flashing a lot already, but did you also let the phone rebuild its dalvik cache as well? Be sure to let the phone sit for a good 10-20 minutes after a flash.
alright when I use weapon 3 on stock kernel I get random reboots when I am not using it or I would have to pull out the battery in order to use it. I have done format system, data, cache, dalvik and then used g2x scrubber and I install it through my extrenal SD. tsugi on stock so far had no problems. I want to use weapon though because my battery life with tauting is horrible. with light use I can only use about 7 hours with set CPU lowering the clock and having it set to the lowest clock on screen off.

This is a known issue for G2x, it varies from phone to phone, and for rom to rom. Devs are working hard to reduce this, but trust me, they re not as bad as stock...

yes I do realize that custom roms are better than stock but my brother has weapon and his battery life is phenomenal! he can use his phone for 2 days and he isn't using any CPU optimizer or juice defender while I am using all those on tsugi rom and still only get about 7 hours of light use. iono maybe I am doing something wrong with tsugi rom?

Setup your phone just like your brother's and swap fully charged batteries then give your phone to him to use and you use his (this is to try to have your phone tested under the same use as your brother uses his phone) to find out if the problem is the phone or the battery. If your brother's phone with your battery in it doesn't last as long or nearly as long as it did with his own battery in it, then it is definitely your battery. If, while your brother uses your phone with his battery in it, your phone doesn't last as long as his phone does with his battery in it, then it's your phone. Your phone should still be under warranty so, if you need to get service you will know what needs replacement.
Try phoenixblood rom with faux kernel, no reboots and great battery life!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I'll +1 that for PhoenixBlood
plus: if you are having any stability issues, remove everything that might cause that, including CPU "optimizer" and Jdefender. They could conflict with the kernel. OTB PhoenixBlood is really great for speed and battery.
Also, if you've had previous problems, such as overheating, you may have damaged your battery. I'd first try running your brother's battery (with his permission), to see if that changes things. One rule to use is that you shouldn't change more than one variable at a time if you care to know what it is that fixed it. Changing ROMs, phones, batteries, SIMS and SD cards all at once will maybe fix the problem but it won't tell you what you did to fix it.
Maybe you're just undervolting too low? My phone can hardly handle it so I usually just don't mess with it.
Keep stock kernel.
thank you for all your replies. I have tried pheonix blood and liked it but even on stock or faux kernel I still get reboots. I did not download those extra applications either. so I am back on tsugi stock kernel and it has no reboots yet, but I found that if I enable the toggle 2g application that came with it and set the radio frequency to wcdma only, it increases the battery life by a lot. I can now go through the whole day with about 50 percent with light use. I do like pheonix or cm7 better though because I feel that it is going to keep updating for the better. also it seems customizable. I was wondering if there is a way to record when the phone experienced a reboot or sod to a log so I can find out why?
I'm having an annoying issue with my Charge. Whenever I try to record with the Camera the phone just freezes and reboots after about 10 seconds. Yes I'm undervolted, which is what I'm suspecting as the issue but I went into Voltage Control and set the voltages back to 0 and to no avail, it still just froze and rebooted. I tried overclocking to 1.2Ghz without undervolting that clock speed at all(1GHz and below were still all undervolted) and it still just froze and rebooted.
The weird thing is this happens on the stock undervolt settings that the kernel comes with. I'm going to assume Imnuts' just didn't have the time to test all the apps individually for stability issues when implementing his undervolt script. I know it's an issue with the kernel(almost positive it's from the undervolting itself because i had stability issues exactly like this back on EE4 when i would undervolt) because if I reboot and flash imoseyons 4.0.0 kernel recording is fixed.
edit: I just tried removing my Voltage Control boot settings so there shouldn't be any undervolting going on(aside from the stock undervolt script thats included with the kernel) and it still just freezes and reboots. I'm guessing it's either the undervolt script or the kernel itself. Anyone else have this issue? If so how'd you fix it? Thanks in advance.
just tested. i use the default uv settings, oc to 1200.
camera was able to record fine. no freeze.

While I never use the camcorder at that resolution, I tried it now and had the same freeze-up. Running tweakstock (fancy that lol) and pbj kernel - I tried this without any voltage control-style modifications. I have some vague recollection of similar issues at some other point, and for some reason I remember the class of sdcard being part of the conversation... I of course can be (and most likely am) completely off on that, just thought I'd mention it.

I remember that class 2 cards can't do HD video, but class 4's are supposed to be able to. I never do video, but I have a class 4, so I tried to see (on Eclipse) and it crashed to the point of forcing a reboot. Not sure now if it's ROM or kernel.

I have been running the pb&j 1/15 kernel and Infinity rom for a day now with no freeze-ups or reboots. I haven't messed with OC'ing or voltages, just wanted to see if the new kernel made a difference. The phone is now much smoother in operation and quicker in response. Very impressive.
I saw this post and walked around the house scanning barcodes using shop-savvy and had no issues at all. This app does a lot of stuff on top of using the camera and just flies now.

edit: *UPDATE* - I just flashed Imoseyon's 4.0.0 kernel to test, and HD recording worked flawlessly. So it does seem to be the kernel which is causing the issue (in my case at least). Can anybody tell me how to pull a logcat so I can send it over to imnuts?

Yeah I remember back when Gummy2.0 was released I had that issue. I know it's not the same thing though because whenever I would record it would give me an error message like "This SD card does not support HD video recording" or something like that and it would just close the camera app, it wouldnt just freeze and reboot.

I'm positive it's not a problem with the SD card. I'm on Tweakstock so for now it's to be assumed that the kernel is the problem since cujo6801 already tested Eclipse with Imos kernel and had no problem, but adrenaline_rush tested Eclipse with Imnuts' kernel and it froze/rebooted. Pretty sure it's a kernel issue at this point.

Try your actual Camera and attempt to record video @ 1280/720, then tell me if it reboots.
I got the freeze and reboot every time with Eclipse and PBJ at 720p. Flashed Tweakstock with PBJ and it worked. Then tried Eclipse with the ep4d kernel and that worked too. I thought it might be the camera so I copied the one from from Tweakstock into Eclipse and 720p recording worked fine undervolted and oc'd to 1200.
Edit: Tried it again since reflashing updated Eclipse and it locked at 10 seconds. Guess I was lucky last time. Shot multiple 45 second plus videos ok.

Checked the comments on Imnuts' kernel over at RootzWiki and i can confirm it's a problem with the kernel, in addition to that the HDMI port doesnt seem to work.
I have been getting froze screens and 1 reboot also, since running imnuts kernel. I thought it was maybe the ROM but doing a little research IM finding the kernel has an issue. I didn't try the camera with imnuts kernel but I've flashed imo 4.0 kernel and the recording does work w/o force closing on me.

Also be careful overclocking on PBJ, I set it to 1600 max on SetCPU, and after a few moments it froze and rebooted. When it rebooted, as soon as SetCPU was granted SU, there goes another freeze. I wasn't able to change the settings due to the freeze, and after a few reboots I was taken to the setup screen like you would see after a factory reset. But this came with random F/C errors and lots of non-functional apps. You can't do anything at this point but restart from stock+PIT and go up from there. Reflashing the ROM, kernel, restoring, even ODINing another ROM won't rid the F/C hell.
Same thing as this, when I tried to use the Voodoo screen tuner:

this question may perhaps be a bit tricky. some users, like myself, may have installed a custom rom, but that alone may not have fixed the lag. i installed b2tb, but still had a lag, and quadnrant score was the same before and after the flash. before b2tb, i was on stock firmware, and my quadrant score was in the 9s. after flashing, still in the 9s. screen lag was the same. a combination of voodoo lagfix and v6 supercharger have improved my quadrant scores to anywhere in the 11s or 12s. extremely little to no screen lag and no other noticeable performance lag at all. but simply flashing a custom rom did not fix my lag.

Have had my phone reboot due to running completely out of memory some cases an others just wtf why you reboot momments. Worst issue i had was dealing with a possible issue in the built in kernal drivers for the bluetooth talking with my kia souls bluetooth stereo cause it seamed now an then at work (pizza delivery) the phone wouldn't disconnect correctly an would cause other issues, like...... overheating x.X an it wasn't the battery cause the face of the phone was hotter then the back where the battery was an by hot i mean like almost hot enough to cause a burn x.x! Love the sidekick an if the devs can make a rom that patches every single issue the factory firmware has in it I'll very likely go back to it, but at this time I'm happy with my edge speed on my captivate (daily driver) an X10 mini pro (amazing backup phone that never fails )

Push PowerButton and Volume button [+ or -] at the same time for 10 seconds. This is a little faster & easier than a battery pull.
For a while I was using Ice Cream Sandwich v2.0 Domination with the ICS launcher removed and ADW launcher in its place. Everything was fine except for the Gallery. It would take forever to load picture, and occasionally, it would reboot my device if it took too long. I just switched to GenericGinger 2.0, and I've had no problems with crashes or reboots.
I'm running Gingerclone w/ Voodoo Lag Fix and V6 Supercharger Aggressive 2. Using Tegrak to OC up to 1.152 and I'm consistently pulling quadrant scores of 2200+.
On the stock ROM the phone froze and rebooted frequently. On GingerClone I haven't had it crash once yet.

Oh and I forgot to mention some things. First in Tegrak I set the CPU low limit to 200mhz and the governor to performance. Makes a HUGE difference in quadrant score and minimal effect on battery life.

Stock browser, Gallery, and recently, Defender 2 cause it to lock up.
Stock browser and Gallery lock up less than on kg2 deodexed/rooted, but still do.
Gallery only on loading, and browser on scrolling.
I had that issue allot then I make it an effort to wipe the cache in recovery once per week, fixes its wagon for me. I also a running back to basics and dealing with the touchwiz launcher. Sacrificing looks in the name of this thing working properly is the name of the game.

Just wipe cache, or wipe cache and dalvik cache?
