Reboots!

So I've had the phone since 4pm yesterday. I use uptime widget on my phones for kicks and to check for stability issues so I installed it right after I got it.
The phone was up for 7 hours until around 11pm when I rebooted it myself (to fix a unknown my phone number problem). It came up fine. 30 mins later it rebooted itself which i didn't think much of since I thought it was invoked by a SIM update. Since after the 2nd reboot it correctly showed my phone # in Status and my Messaging app, etc.
All is well, on the charger overnight, wake up this morning and use it everything is fine. At almost exactly 8:30AM while sitting idle/screen off it reboots again?!
Not sure if this is due to the tons of apps I have on or was again a network related reboot. I know in the past when I had GSM phones, the carrier can definitely initiate a reboot due to a SIM update. Having it happen at exactly 8:30AM seems bizarre. It's super fast and no lag or crashes otherwise.
I'm going to use it more today and keep an eye on it but just FYI. Anybody with it experiencing anything similar?

Oh Noes!!!

Could be because of me. I had Wifi Calling on both times and I had changed the network mode from the Auto default to WCDMA only. I'll get to the bottom of this, I'm sure

Check out this review of the GSlate by PC Mag. One of the cons is "occasionally reboots." I think LG has some 'splaining to do. This is their second device (third if you separate O2X from G2X) to suffer the problem.
Pros
First 4G tablet. Powerful Tegra 2 processor. Excellent HD screen, with HD output capability. Shoots and plays 3D footage (glasses included). Affordably-priced (after rebate) for 32GB capacity. Generally intuitive user interface. Dual-facing cameras. Video chat.
Cons
Default Honeycomb home screen feels cluttered. Flash 10.2 beta is buggy. Strange, off-center orientation for front-facing camera. Occasionally reboots, unprovoked, when idle. Android Market needs more Honeycomb apps.​

Strange how LG could be causing this on both devices since they are both stock Android! My Moto XOOM with Honeycomb has it's issues as well because it's an early OS but having occassional reboots on Froyo 2.2.2 is not acceptable.
I'm hoping it's related to an app or something. Once more people get the phone we should be able to see if it's an isolated or widespread problem.

Its definitely not the LG's custom UI that is causing random reboots. I really hope its not the hardware!

Update coming soon hopefully?

That's the 2X right? Doubt the same update will apply to us but here's hoping. Anybody else with a G2X having this? It could just have been me and the phone being provisioned. I've had it for less than 24 hours.

Lets not jump to conclusions just yet.. My phones have rebooted due to my doings, lets see if others have the issue first before blaming the issue on this phone too.

Just received my G2X today and have experienced the random reboot thing twice in about 3 hours.
Will keep an eye on it today and report back later.

New customer or existing? I know by saying I'm jinxing myself but it's been 7 hours so far without a reboot.
Were you on Wifi when it happened? Were you using Wifi calling? Let's start putting together a picture.

Please start keeping track of what you or phone was doing when it happens. This will help everyone.

unistalling apps

Don't worry me like this! My phone is arriving tomorrow! Also when you guys got your phones did you plug it in and let it fully charge before playing with it? I know it would be hard not to just turn it on...

Just rebooted again while I was walking the dog and listening to a podcast so first time while I was using it. I think it might have to do with GPS use. The CNN app I installed last night uses it a ton and I think it causes the issue.
Anybody else having this using CNN or another GPS heavy app.
I've turned off GPS for now. Before this reboot it had been up for 10h

For whatever reason turning off GPS has made the phone even faster. Maybe there's a bug or memory leak related to GPS? Here's hoping we don't get any more reboots.

Not yet but hopefully soon...

i swear there are like 4 threads on this already in General. /sigh.

i have been digging deeper and had seen some... i just need to contact verizon to let them know which phone to send me since they are taking thinderbolt back. i played with the phones at verizon and this one after the update seems better. I am not sure.. the gps seems much better and locked on quick the phone seemed less laggy what do you guys know about the lg revolution

i know netflix does wotn on LG Revolution. If that's your make it or break it deal, then you need to get LG Revolution. No one really knows when 2.3 will release on the Charge. What we know now is really just speculation.

I hope you don't want to hook up the HDMI to your tv to watch rented or downloaded movies. I've tried doing that from both mediahub and blockbuster and it wont let you. The screen says it's a rights issue. When I bought the phone no one said anything about that.

will netflix stream over hdmi -out?

Ugh. Headaches.

Hello. This post is going to be semi rant semi help needed. I'm going to list the issues on my infuse. Feedback whether or not you have the same issues or a way to fix would be great. I'm getting pretty irritated with this phone though. Here we go!
Apps crash way more than they should. Browser, camera, music player, Facebook. Just random.
When receiving phone call, it just vibrates. Trust me, the volume is up all of the way. I go to change ringtone and that doesn't even make a sound. I have to reboot for my sound to work. Very frustrating.
Call quality. Jeeeeeesus Christ. I have never had a phone where the other person constantly says "what? I can't hear you?" Or "why does it sound like you're a mile away from your phone?" Or "take me off speaker phone!" I ASSURE YOU the phone is on my face, mic by my mouth, and outside where I have full bars.
And now as of today, I tried to show videos I took at warped tour 2 days ago and get the error "cannot view video" I literally took the video myself with the phone. Watched it before. But now I can't.
Smh.....
Stock rom, I am rooted but these have been on going before I decided to root.
Like I said in the beginning. This is a rant/cry for help.
If anyone is having the same issues or knows a fix, reply?
Thanks for reading

I haven't noticed any of the issues you seem to be having.
Call quality seems good, (at least nobody has said anything negative about it). Phone volume works as it should, apps don't crash any more than normal.
You definitely have a dud, you may just have to go through the Samsung Warranty.. their service is excellent. They don't ask many questions, they simply email you a UPS shipping label, you ship the phone back to them, then in a few weeks, you get it back.
Samsung Customer Support is really quite good(at least in my experience.)

It also sounds like your "stock" in that you have no clue what was done to your phone before it got in your hands. I'd try flashing a ROM (infused is my favorite), and deleting all the data to have a fresh install. May help

I've had the same call quality issues. I just posted a week or two ago with the same frustrations. Multiple people would tell me that I wasn't talking in to the phone. Glad to hear of this noise reduction stuff.

Althought you bought the phone on craigslist. the att warranty is not void. I had this happend to me before. get with the previous owner. ask them for the cell phone number, and explain to att that you bought the phone from him. they will send you a replacement.

If you have the official Twitter app, it has been causing lots of issues with music, ringtones, videos and notifications not working. There has been a lot of success fixing these issues by simply deleting the Twitter app. It fixed all my media related issues.
I have had great call quality with mine though. I think it is way better than my iPhone 4 was for making calls.

[Q] slow youtube HD streaming help please!!!

I've own my T-mobile G2X for about three weeks; I really love the phone but I have an issue which I tried to solve through T-Mobile's tech department and they were totally incompetent about it.
The issue is that whenever I try to watch HD videos (480p, 720p or 1080p) on youtube it's very laggy and stutters like crazy. I can watch the videos over the youtube app but the HQ resolution is not even close to the HD over youtube. I have tried to stream these youtube videos over my WIFI network (50mb download speeds) and over T-mobiles 4G and it doesn't matter videos are still stuttering.
My wife bought a HTC sensation and on her device I can watch Youtube HD videos smoothly and with no lag AT ALL. I know the G2X has an NVIDIA Tegra 2 but I don't know why it is incapable of streaming HD videos at all. I was thinking that the issue might be that the flash 10.3 is not optimized to work with the Tegra 2 chipsets; I hope and update can solve this issue or maybe some of you know what it's happening.

And what rom are you using again?

I have stock G2x. It's not rooted. G2x with stock 2.3.3 gingerbread installed. I hope this can help you solve my problem. Thanks!!!

Do you think that if I root the phone this problem is likely to go away then? what do you think I should do? I'm afraid that if I root the phone I'll void my one year warranty but if that helps I'll do it.

Honestly, rooting may or may not solve the issue. It's always a hit or miss.
Sent from my Calculator with Android.

When you watch the youtube videos do you use the android youtube app or do you actually go to the desktop mode of the youtube and select 1080p? I can watch the youtube videos fine as long as I use the app but if I try to stream the videos through the desktop version and select either one of the HD resolutions then is laggy and stutters. The phone works fine it's just that issue. Thanks again!!

Never trued watching youtube using desktop UA in my phone. I always use youtube app.
Sent from my Calculator with Android.

ahhhhhhh......that helped. My guess is that flash 10.3 is not currently optimized for tegra 2 devices. I know for sure that there will be a Flash 11 coming out soon that supposedly is optimized for the Tegra 2 devices. Whenever you have time if you wish try streaming youtube desktop at 720p or 1080p, I just want to make sure I don't have a defective device. I don't know too many people that currently have this device. Again thank you very much for your time

lol
...it doesnt have the hardware....my atom netbook can barely play 720p streams. I just overclocked my g2x to 1.5ghz max and min, tried 720p on youtube desktop and still had some stuttering.

Thank you!!!!! still stutter with 1.5 huh. My wife has an HTC sensation and plays 1080p youtube sources on desktop UA without a hitch. I believe that that the newer flash version will hopefully solve this issue. Again thank you for your help, it was really nice of you to try that for me I really appreciated it. I'll wait until the Ne Flash version arrives in early October

Root backup, try a different rom doesn't work go back to ur backup and unroot and.send that thing back

[Q] Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 - Very slow - Please help

Hey
I just won a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 White 32gb last week, i've been playing around with it a bit and i've found that it is incredibly slow, slower than my ASUS Transformer TF300T. And i was expecting a monster of a machine with the specifications in the Note Pro.
There are delays in just navigating the menu, sliding down the menu thing from the top. Typing on the keyboard, i can write on word and keep writing and it freezes and then my last word pop up (sorry for bad explaining, hopefully you understand). Scrolling up and down on a website in Chrome, it can just freeze for a few secs. Opening some apps from me tapping the app to it opening can be delayed like 6-8 seconds or something. Also have slow problems when i'm using Perfect Viewer for reading comics, flipping a page can sometimes delay for seconds.
Never had any of these issues on my ASUS Transformers TF300T
Also have some issues with the pen when playing around in the Sketchbook Galaxy app, if i lift the pen away from the screen and then put it back, it doesnt identify the pen close to fast, it takes a long while.
I would be more pissed if i payed for it, still pretty bummed though even if i won it.
I will be super grateful for any help i can get
I made a video, but i cant link it here, maybe i can link it in a PM if somebody wants to help?

Hi, I have the same device and it screams, no delays at all...
What I have done from the start is install a new launcher, in my case Holo HD, to get rid of Touchwiz which supposedly consumes a lot of resources...
I suggest you give that a try...
Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk

No delays here either. All stock. Maybe something is downloading to cause that slowness. Look in upper left corner for moving arrows. If you see one moving then something is downloading and you can see what that is by swiping from the top of the screen.

As a last resort you could perform a factory reset to see if that cures the responsiveness issues...

Should all the files be deleted after this re-flashing is done? If so, then i must have done it wrong, all my apps and everything is still there and it is still slow. I followed the guide and got the "PASS" in Odin.
tinyurl.com/nxo87hn
Here's a video showing some of the slow issues i'm talking about
EDIT:
Has anyone heard of this problem with the Galaxy Note 12.2? Slow as f*** right out of the box? So infuriating

Seems like a collection of issues. First thing I'd do is get rid of the task killer application. IMO kit kat manages memory just fine. A better way to go is to use greenify to keep less frequently used applications hibernated so that frequently used ones will be cached. When I set up my devices after rooting I'll freeze things I'll never use and then I'll watch a system monitor application for things that load in the background. Anything that loads in the background that I don't want to use frequently (and don't need to keep alive for notifications) I'll consider for greenifying.
For the perfect viewer issue, where are the files? Is that memory latency? Kind of seems like it. Agree though, usually should run better than that.
I have to admit the first thing I thought was that perhaps you have a big SD card installed with a lot of media and the media server process is running and showing things down.
IMO in general out of the box these things are laggy but with some tweaks things improve a lot. The lag is subjective, some aren't bothered by it but for those of us who are it's a big nuisance.

The issues im having were present right out of the box, i installed the task killer to see if that would help, i dont have the task killer application anymore after i reset it again - still the same problems.
Is Android 4.4.2 the latest version available for Galaxy Note Pro 12.2?
Only other thing that could be the problem is hardware i suppose, but what kind of problem? that would make the device soooo slow.

You still need to do a factory reset after you reflash the stock rom with Odin.

I believe i did that, i'm gonna try later tonight to do the reflashing again and a factory reset immediatly after.

If your downloaded aps are still present after the factory reset, then it did not work
