Hello im Andy from Austria
I got this phone now since 1 month and its my first
android phone. But i have to say that this is not the phone i expected... It all started when i got the first deep sleep on FIRST day. I thought it would go away after some time but it didnt stop. Then i read this things about flashing etc. I tried flashing many firmwares, custom ROMS and kernels... Nothing helped against the deep sleep.But this is not the only Bug the phone has. Sometimes when i want to call someone i cant hear anything. I have to call like 3-4 times to get it work (very annoying). Sometimes i cant do anything (freeze) , 3g doesnt work , cant boot without putting battery out and in again and even more things. No wonder why the phone got out of stores. Currently im on NeoRom 1.0 . But i read some posts where people got their phone dead randomly, and so i want to revert to default config like i got it from shop. The problem is my binary counter is currently on 4... Is there any method to get it to zero without paying? And another problem is maybe because i have removed simlock from it so i think warranty is gone anyway...
Maybe i try to completly reset the phone and then sell it to someome to get some other phone...
We also dont have any CM and i wonder about this because many unknown phones do have CM... Like Galaxy Y or etc...
It would be better to get some GS2 or GS3.
At least there are no deep sleep issues.
Greetings from Austria,
Birki

First of all:
Deep sleep is not an issue! It's a good thing, it's the state when your CPU rests and save your battery. The problem you mentioned is called "sleep of death" (when device becomes unresponsive after screen off)
You can reset your counter with USB-jig (if you have Odin protocol v. 2, if you have 2.1 it's a way more complicated))
It sounds stupid.....but did you change the WiFi sleep policy to never ?

My SGR touch was also not responsive, installed stock rom and took it to service. Now working fine.
So there are galaxy rs that work fine?!
Some said it needs new motherboard. How can i check if i really got a screwed phone?

I agree with pudup . You should visit your service, and explain to them your problem, but even this does not guarantee that you'll get a replacement of motherboard. Maybe you can ask for refund than
i think in austria there isnt even a SSC.. :'(

Hello, I have an issue with screen - it is very dark and it is even twice as darker as it used to be, and its just unusable
I don't really know why it is so - it can't be a physical damage, because I've been using this device for 3 months and never dropped it. BTW such issue was 3-4 or for times before and was cured by rebooting - now it doesn't help and even charging phone doesn't solve this problem.
I've been using the ROM - Cognition (some of the latest) and will try to flash back to stock, maybe it will solve my problem
Have you guys had such issue?
Have you tried changing you brightness settings?
after unlocking the screen slide your finger over status bar at top or where it should be if u could see it and see if that works.
lol, I know how to change brightness of the screen) but that's was awful, very dark screen and seemed like broken. after charging to 100% now it is fine, but I afraid I will have the same issue in the future

I even have no idea, why it happened, maybe because of that so much cold weather in Russia?
is this only happening when the battery charge is less than 10%? If so, that's by design.

Have you tried flashing it with amother firmware? I suggest you should bring it to the service center so they can take a look. By tge looks of it, it may be a harware problem.

It's definitley a hardware fault. Just to make sure, bring it to the service center to have it checked. Yours have the same symptom as my sister's phone.

This had happened with my previous phone - moto milestone. Replaced screen twice, and the problem happened again. Sold it off and bought my i9003.
I think it is due to electrostatic charge building up on your body that affects the electronics. That is my (unproven, unscientific) theory.
I'd recommended you get it fixed and immediately exchange it at your dealership for another phone. Peace of mind that way.

Hey guys,
Not sure if I should send my device in or not (it's quite a drive from my place to get it replaced) but my parents got the LG Optimus G2x at WIND Mobile (in Canada) couple months ago and I've been testing it since they told me about a strange battery problem which I can confirm that it exists.
Basically the problem is this: The battery indicator says that the battery is full even though I've idled it for 5 days.
From my understanding even with no network connections, battery shouldn't be full at 100% even after 5 days since the phone should wake itself up from time to time, should be something like 95%. However, once I reboot the phone after the 5 days, the battery indicator says that the phone only has 5% left, and should have indicated that the battery would be slowly draining too. That doesn't really make sense to me because it should have told me that without rebooting the phone.
So do you guys think this is a software issue or is it a hardware reporting issue? The phone is completely fresh, I haven't installed any apps or even configured it passed the initial set up screen.
Specs:
Phone: LG Optimus G2x (P999)
Android: 2.2.2
Software Version: LG-P999-AWC-V11h
Unlocked?: No
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Ahh, missed the P999. Apologies. You got any custom mods on that? Kernels etc. I see you're still running Froyo... you may just need an upgrade ... or a battery stat clear

Understood, well this phone does have a lot of issues like that, not sure if you being on WIND changes much, but when I worked on stock roms there was a lot of crap that LG just didn't do right, that we as devs had to fix. I will say that my phone does that after a reboot, shows 100% on the lockscreen for a few seconds until its retriggered. If you don't want to try wiping batt stats to give it a try, you could try another battery to see if you have a faulty one maybe.

Does wiping the battery stats require rooting? If rooting is necessary, is there a way to unroot the phone so that I could exchange it should I need to?

Not to be a jerk, but have you tried power cycling it? I've seen that happen on mine before and a power cycle cleared it up.

I can't properly power cycle it if the battery indicator never show the actual drainage. I've had the phone idling without it plugged in and find it out of battery by end of week. It doesn't even notify you that it's almost out of battery because the indicator in the firmware thinks the battery is still full.
I've tried everything that doesn't involve rooting/flashing custom ROM as far as I know. My Nexus S can last a week if I yanked my SIM card out and not enable any network connections just like the P999. Not sure why the P999 is having this battery indicator issue.
I guess if there's no other suggestions, I might actually need to drive to get it replaced...
Thanks,
deltatux
I have no idea about wind, but there are some posts about updating the baseband and the LG rom on that phone on here. If its under warranty, replace it if you can. It sounds like it has been power cycled and the issue is persisting. Good luck!

Hello,
my Backbutton activates itself. While I am watching Videos, or whatever I do it stops shining and I am out of every application I'm using. After about half a minute it's shining again and I can use it normally. It's like pushing the button multiple times. Does anyone has an idea how to fix it? I tried different roms but it looks like an hardware failure to me.

Happened to me as well it is an issue sometimes with samsung but covered under warranty bring it in to sprint

Sending it back for support is not an option for me. I imported my device from the US to Germany. The support at Samsung Germany told me that they are not responsible for AMOLED devices.
My second problem ist that my IMEI is crashed since I flashed a rom where the dev made a little mistake. So Samsung won't give me any support.
I thought about changing the display but the price for a new one is about 190 Euro. Way too much... I can assemble and disassemble the device but I think that cleaning the device will not solve the problem.
Any suggestions?

It has nothing to do with the display though.
That's likely the part failing:

Verify that the one you currently have isn't simply not connected right.
Thank you. I will have a look if the part is not right connected.
Maybe I have to replace it. But in that case 25 Euro are much cheaper than 190.

This happened to me once. A day later my display completely died. I could turn on my phone, answer calls, etc the touchscreen worked, but I couldnt see anything. I had to get a new one..
I had this problem too.
I flashed a different radio, and boom!! issue resolved
I occasionally get this too. It only comes up when I'm using cm/cm based kernels though, very odd. I'm on matrix right now and it seems to Beowulf, anybody have some tips or suggestions?

I tried a different kernel and it looks like the problem is solved. I know that you should not count your chickens before they are hatched. But I really think that the kernel was the problem.
Anyway, I am just happy that my phone is working properly.
And now I am waiting for jellybean.

I don't see how the kernel would have anything to do with the backbutton. Although if it worked out then hey that's awesome. Amazing how much I have learned by reading the forums on this site.:victory:
Just clean off the the backbutton, and maybe it will stop or you have a software bug.

Had the same problem. Go to setting-battery and see if Android OS drains more then 50%. If it does one of your applications is responsible for that. Fastest way to solve problem is to reflash stock rom, you have tutorial on this forum how to do that.
