my phone has started doing something crazy today, whenever i talk on it, the radio drops after a minute, and dont come back untill i turn airplane mode off and on or reboot. it only happens if i talk on it. i have changed nothing, except flashing mrom yesterday, i did a full wipe and restored my cm9 backup, and it still does it, has anyone else ever had or even heard of this problem? is my phone just crapping out? i have posted this in my device forum with no answers and even talked to verizon tech, they just had me do factory reset... any help would be greatly appreciated, as i don't want to have to fork over cash for a new phone...

Hi all,
A few days ago I noticed my data connection lags and it takes a while until tha up and down arrow start blinking under the H indicator.
Sometimes it is fine.
Also several times I noticed in an are with 4 bars my connection would drop completely, shie no bars and show a little x instead and then a minute or two later it would come back. Tried factory reset, did not help...
Does anybody know what is going on?
I have done the true perma root and unlock as posted in the development sticky.
I also removed some bloatware which do not come back when I do a factory restore. Not sure if that matters though or of it is related.

Are you running the stock rom? I'm guessing so. If you went through and deleted a bunch of stuff you very easily could have deleted something you didn't want to.
I would suggest grabbing the stock nandroid restore from the thread in the development section and going back to a clean install. See if that helps.

im not rooted and i have the same issues. Going from full bars to nothing and then it lights back up. I assume it has something to do with the tower its connected to
Sometimes I only get phone call reception and no data,I call T-Mobile and they say I'm not in a 4g area,but for the past months I've been here and get the 4g full signal..this only happens like twice a month.its a big problem with their towers.

Happens to me too

I'm sure it's a radio issue. Happens to mine and my roommates MT4Gs. And since we don't have another radio, we're kind of SOL there.
I've had my mt4g since they dropped, and it's only started doing this to me recently... when it happens, I go to the APN's and reset to default... it seeeeeeeeems to work (for a short time), but then it goes right back to sucking...
You can also just toggle airplane mode. Will bring speeds back up for a short time.

Hey, guys. I've been having an issue for quite some time where my screen turns completely back and my phone freezes up. The only way to fix this is to do a live battery pull. It happens at least once a day. Not rooted. Running official ICS ROM. Can anyone help? I appreciate it.

was it like that b4 the update
you can do a factory reset too see if that helps but you will lose all your apps you have install and your settings, back them up first.
if its still the same looks like warranty repair
By chance, does this happen during a call or right after?

What apps have you opened prior to the black screen

Sounds like sleep of death or whatever it's called, tho I didn't have it for ages. I'd agree with the factory reset to see if the issue is resolved.
So, I love this phone but have one issue that seems odd to me. As an example I am currently running pandora and tried opening the xda app which caused what appeared to be a fc but my phone kept running pandora and went to a black screen for a minute then a faded screen which eventually lead to a drop in data (briefly). Every thing was briefly unresponsive... It acted exactly like a reboot without rebooting. When I was able to unlock the screen I had no data service (briefly) and all apps closed. Xda app often fc's which is not a big deal to me but causing the black screen and data drop is concerning to me. I also had this happen when opening the phone info app while running nothing else. Should I be concerned about this? Software or hardware? I am running stock.
Edit: Have also had to reboot due to dropped data but it may have been during a switch between 4G or 3g even 1x.

same thing happens to me, not sure why. I went through and froze all bloat with titanium backup, and it still happens
It's not something I can make happen, just happens randomly. I have 5 days to return this so I would like to figure it out. If a software update would fix it I would just deal with it for now but I'm not sure what the problem is.

I just talked to Samsung on their live chat and they recommended I return the phone and exchange for new. I am still in the 14 day return window so I will ask for brand new even if I have to pay their $35 fee.

The policy is there is no $35 reatocking fee for the same phone swap. Don't let them tell you different. Your phone is DOA. Its a warranty exchange.

Thanks. I already exchanged and they did not charge me anything. Hopefully I won't encounter that problem again.

Replacement phone just did the exact same thing..... Seriously only one other person has this problem?

No.. tons of us have data issues. My phone hot booted in my hands the other night and it was the first time I experienced it, but I've seen reference to it before.
Your issues are not isolated.
I gave up with tech support and wishing a new phone would fix it and turned to third party development. My first time flashing a ROM. I used synergy and have been really thrilled with it.
Sucks to have to fix a brand new phone. Sucks to be a beta tester for Samsung and vzw.
Sorry for your troubles though.

Not the dropped data, the unresponsive black screen... Sorry, should have been more specific.

Ahh.. no. Sorry. Have you tried wiping/restoring the phone? Lame, I know...
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I did not try wiping the phone because the first one was only nine days old and I had not done much with it. The second one lasted a day and now I am on my third. I really hope this does not happen again. The people at the Verizon store said they have never heard of this..... They think it's an app... I only have 12 apps installed. I don't know what I'm going to do if this happens with this phone. This is frustrating. I do not want to get stuck with a phone that has a problem like this.

Mine does the same thing. Besides the stock stuff, I loaded Pandora, Google Music, Amazon MP3, and Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Master of the Seas game. It was nice enough to wait until just after the 14 day return window to start locking up and misbehaving. The only way I could get it back was to do a battery pull. Of course, when I brought it to the store it ran like a champ! If you can get another replacement, make sure it says 'UPDATED' on the box. Those have a newer kernel / baseband and seem to be working better.
All of mine have said updated on the box. I am trying to limit apps for now and will slowly add them if I have no issues.

So my phone has randomly stopped vibrating completely..touch...texts..calls..notifications of all kinds
Im on singhui..I checked all the settings I could find...then did a dirty install of singhui but that did nothing
Then I wiped and reinstalled thinking I might be missing a setting...no luck...then I used nullifier which again had no effect.
Then I remembered that I dropped my phone 10 minutes before I noticed the prblm.
Haven't noticed any other problems either.
Can anyone give me advice on how I can check if its a hardware issue...or if there's still hope for my phone

From my experience, it SHOULD fix itself over time. The first time I had this problem, my phone froze while it was vibrating (and I was sleeping) so it was vibrating for about five hours. After that, it stopped vibrating when I rebooted it. I didn't do anything to fix it, it just started working again one day. It happened to me at least two other times, but randomly, and eventually it started working again.
If there's a fix, I don't know it unless it's just time and hope.
So the waiting game is one solution
You're a genius btw...the vibration started working while typing these words...haha

Welcome to the wonderful waiting world of the g2x haha but seriously, I hope it gets resolved. Could be a broken connection, which is disconnecting/reconnecting due to movements/vibrations.

I have had similar happen, I solve it by hitting the screen, but not too hard. It obviously has to do with the impact _on the screen, which causes it to stop functioning and a similar impact causes it work again.

I'm not 100% sure where it went wrong but now no matter what I have tried NFC will not turn on. I can flip it to on and it jumps right back to off. I unrooted and flashed back to a backup of stock rooted to test and still the same thing. No error just will not turn on. I decided to bring it to VZW and the customer service tech was so dumbfounded and sent me on my way. Has anyone heard of this problem or of anyways to potentially fix it or am I forced to call in a replacement. Thank you in advance.

Bump. I tried NFC "fixes", flashed hells ROM and the NFC file itself with it nothing. Doesn't make any sense. Battery is stock as well.

why did he send you on your way?
if they cannot fix the issue, and you cant, you should get a replacement.
