I know theres a poll on issues etc and rebooting is mentioned, but I feel it was too early to poll and people could have voted and had a reboot after...
So question is..... has your phone rebooted? Or just fine?
Also if you could mention how long you had it that would be great....
I just want to know exactly who is having reboots and who hasn't..
Not once on its own.

LOTS of reboots
I have had about 20 in two weeks. I am CURRENTLY getting CONTINUOUS reboots.
It had the LG logo and thinking bar, underneath it said "System checking". Now it has rebooted non-stop (6 times so far as I'm typing).
New phone should arrive on my doorstep within the next hour or so... fingers crossed.
once that I know of. No idea why. It just rebooted while on my desk idle.
In the one week I had the phone (preroot), never. Even after rooting it, never.
Haven't had any issues with mine.
Had 3 reboots in 5 days on my old phone. Nothing yet on new one so far. It has been 3 days. I noticed my old phone was alot hotter than this one. Possibly a hardware issue after all.
Guys, try to turn off gps, I did that and I have 0 reboot and 0 shut down today, I had a lot of reboots and phone turning off by itself before that. I'll see what happens when I charge it tonight and I'll let u guys know.

Theres got to be something thats causing it.
results don't look so good..
Hmmm prerooted I had maybe one and some freezing and lag..
rooted no reboots except running eaglesblood rom and experimental kernel with pauls lag apparentky too much going on there. .
If your phone is rebooting constantly don't even waste your time return it for a new unit. The att galaxy s had the same prob and everyone waited for a fix only to find out it was hardware related....if your in the 14 day window don't even waste your time and end up with a refurb

I bought my g2x a day after launch. For a few days, I didn't experience any reboots. After that they starting happening but not too often. Eventually (by yesterday), it was happening more often. Somewhere in that time frame I did a factory reset to try to improve battery life.
I called tmobile support yesterday and they made do another factory reset and not install any apps. It has been 16 hours without a reboot but that doesn't prove anything, really. First, it doesn't necessarily happen every day. Second, without any non-default apps installed, it may not be taxing the device enough. Third, even if it is an app's fault, it may not be directly the apps fault. Am I supposed to run no apps if that turns out to be the problem?
They will be calling back at three and I'm going to try to push them for a replacement. I'm also having reception issues and the battery could certainly last longer.
None here, gps is not turned off

I am on my 5th G2X... with a build date of 4/3/2011 and I have not had a reboot as of yet with GPS turned on. This has also been the best phone out of all those 5, I have a week left and if I experience problems I will be taking it back. As somoene said dont waste your time your better off returning it then waiting for a fix.

Any advice on what to tell them so they'll take it back? The tmobile phone tech wants me to prove that it isn't an app...

I just took it to the store, told them the problems I was having mentioned the reboots, screen bleed, and data connection issues. Told them I was within the 14days and that Customer Care told me to come to the store and try and get a working phone. I wouldnt talk about the reboots as it may not happen in store if you have screen bleed its easier that way cause you can prove that.
Did you buy it in store, online or over the phone?
Has anybody been able to get rid of the keyboard lag that sometimes plagues this phone? Especially when texting

I turned off the popup on keypress. It helps but it still lags. It seems worse when the message I'm typing starts getting longer.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I thought I was the only one having keyboard lag (among the screen not being always the most responsive). It's ridiculous especially when I factor in the random reboots (most of the time I have to pull the battery for it to respond, and the last reboot cause my phone to COMPLETELY reset...as in I had to set up everything again as if it was the first time I turned the phone on), and how it takes 2/3 seconds for the lock screen to kick in (when I press the power button to wake my phone it shows the screen I was last on before the screen locked) -- which might not be a huge issue for some, but I've never had this issue with any of my other phones, and the low ringer volume which really irritates me.
I have bleeding but it's nothing to noticeable and doesn't bother me right now because I dont really ever notice it.
I should receive a new one tomorrow and I'm hoping none of these issues are there
--- BTW, sorry for kind of going off topic. I apologize, meant no harm.
Yeah you are correct, the longer the message is, the worse it gets
I believe that I read that its a kernel issue
And to the above, what reason did I give them in order for them to trade it out?

I told the rep about the 4 reboots I had since I got the phone...which was 3 days before I called in, and how the last reboot seemingly wiped my phone and had me log in all my information as if it was the first timed I'd ever turned it on.
The rep told me I was his 3rd call that day for this issue but there were no notes on their system about problems with the phone or any updates to correct the issue(s)...needless to say, he sent me out a new one.
I will be getting it today. Hope it doesn't reboot. The bleeding I can deal with in all honesty, but if it reboots and the volume is as low as it is on my phone now I will have to return it for good and get another phone...and I don't want too.
Can you change the title of this thread to reference the gingerbread builds. Just so people don't get confused. This only applies to the leak gb and roms using it.

Anyone that has had reboot problems on their thunderbolts, still experiencing them after updating?
Wife's tbolt starting rebooting a couple times a day about a week ago. Did the update friday night and has rebooted twice since then. Thinking it might be hardware related if others have had their reboots fixed.
Probably going to call verizon next time it does this to try and get a replacement.
I've had only one that I've noticed so far, but that makes it less than the 3-4 daily I noticed with the most recent leak prior (mr2.5 thingee)
No reboots for me since the update. Of course Verzion only claimed this OTA would reduce the number of reboots not do away with them. I hope for you that they don't try to pull then when you ask for a new unit.
Start over from scratch do an app backup...uninstall all apps restart phone try favorite app first give couple hours or a day. slowly put apps back on right down time and date each app installed .doing this is a p.i.t.a .....some apps dont play nicely with others ...plus you dont want a p.o.s.reman phone....anyways this might take a couple of days.....sometimes verizon wont shoot from the hip and just replace .. reason i say this for a while 1st thing they do is hard reset phone and start over ...more or less have to prove problem make sure everytime u call have them note the account....lets see 10 imagios 6 collasped buttons 4 bluetooth failures .....fun fun...nothings easy with verizon
Look at it this way you could be stuck with a really start over flashing firmware with a windows phone cause hard reset sucks [email protected]#$

same story -- i'm still getting them occasionally but not as often. I was all excited about the update, but a few hours after it installed I was browsing the web and - bam - reboot. It's like a slap in the face. I've also been having a serious problem with my TB just discharging itself overnight... while plugged into the wall charger. I wake up and it has a completely dead battery which is a major PITA, doubly so because I use it as my alarm clock.
My TB has been up since the update on Friday. It used to reboot multiple times a day. Hope this lasts for me.
I'm stock and unrooted.

I have never had a reboot and I have been rooted since a week after owning the TBolt... I guess just lucky
Haven't had a reboot since memorial day weekend.
Never had a reboot before or after the update....I just bought my Tbolt two weeks ago, maybe they corrected the rebooting issues with the current hardware?? I mean if users are still rebooting after the update maybe its not software...
I've been really really lucky here I guess. I bought my Thunderbolt about a week after it came out and have had maybe 3-4 reboots since then. I have gone through a few roms/kernals/radios but never any issues. It must just be a hit/miss thing with hardware to be honest. Either that or the network, I'm in West Lafayette maybe our network is just far superior
The only gripe I have had is shutdowns, which IMO are more annoying because I can't just turn it back on, I have to pull the battery and wait a couple minutes before putting it back in and then waiting another minute before it responds to the power button to turn it back on again.
All in all I am happy with it compared to all others complaints on reboots. I would rather have a small number of reboots/shutdowns than a refurbished phone with possibly more issues.
I've been rebooting still like CRAZY. Before and after the update. I got on Verizon and received my phone on Thursday. It was rebooting over and over and over... I noticed it happened if I left wifi coverage at work or home. Even after the update, same thing! Rebooting over and over like no tomorrow.
I noticed that with LTE on it would loose connectivity all together until I manually rebooted. If I was on Edge or 3G it would stay up longer. I have since then turned off LTE and it has been fine, but still reboots every few hours.

I have had 1 reboot after having mine for over a month or so now. Been rooted since day 1 and have changed radios multiple times along with ROMs/Kernels. I guess we are both lucky?
Never once had a reboot. Custom rom since day one though. Stock sucks.
On a helpful side though. Always best to do a hard reset after a update. I know its a pain but it is the best solution normally.

Nope not yet and seem overall faster, but only time will tell.

Been only a few hours guys. Take a day or 2 to test this out. Battery, WIFI, GPS, Reboots...etc
None so far... but the true test is when it's on my charger at night. So we will see...
None so far. Definitely noticeable increase in speed. No wifi or GPS issues yet either. Only bug so far is the 4g and signal status not switching to green indicating network connection to Google. Does on my N1.

I will be flashing back to 2.2. I never had a single reboot in the 4 months I've had the phone and now in 3 hours since I have updated, the phone has rebooted 4 times and froze twice. Also, my GPS would lock in 10 seconds with 20 feet of accuracy and now its taking a couple minutes to lock with 100 feet of accuracy. I really hope this isn't the finished product.

Your crazy. ;-)
Is your phone set to Max brightness or is it on auto? If its on auto, I bet LG reprogrammed the code to dim the backlight more than it was before so people don't notice it as much. Mine has always been minimal but its still the same at max brightness. A software update ain't going to fix a hardware issue.

next day he is complaining that he is keeping it because he can not sell it, next day he is whining that he never has had a problem with the phone,
next day he is complaining that GB is never coming,
next day he is saying the G2x is being recalled and will never be sold on T-mobile again,
next day he is saying he just updated to GB but it sucks so he is going to need to remove it
And he continues. if he is not some sort of paid corporate troll....its a pity because he is working it hard.

OK, JR and I disagree more than we agree, and I'm sure he can defend himself but:
- claims to love the phone
He talks positively about aspects of it.
-the next day he hates it
He talks negatively about aspects of it.
-next day he says he is leaving the forum because he is selling it
He kept it because he got it free from T-Mobile and it does some things better than the Sensation.
-next day he is complaining that he is keeping it because he can not sell it, next day he is whining that he never has had a problem with the phone
I don't know where you pulled this from but it doesn't sound like JR
-next day he is complaining that GB is never coming
So?
-next day he is saying the G2x is being recalled and will never be sold on T-mobile again
Lots of rumors about this. JR tends to quote from a source though.
-next day he is saying he just updated to GB but it sucks so he is going to need to remove it
Too early to tell if others are going to experience the same thing.
Tom, you're the one that still believes the phone's not for sale on tmobile.com because it's so popular. You're no stranger to sharing and defending unique opinions so it's odd you chose to single out JR. You've gone after me too. I come here to hear different opinions. I can figure out which one's to believe without a self-appointed moderator telling me.
I've had my G2X for about a month, and have been experiencing the common issue where my phone randomly shuts off and the only way to get it to turn back on is to pull the battery.
I've installed the GB update, that didn't fix it. Factory reset didn't help either.
Has anyone successfully fixed this issue on their phone? If so, what'd you do? Is there any chance that rooting my phone would correct the problem?
Sorry if there was a post about this, I couldn't find anything talking about if anyone's been able to fix the problem.
Thanks
yes... the onlyhh way to fix the problem is to root! nvflash clock work mod recovery, then flash eagle blood 2.3.3 rom and it is perfect...
Thanks, this did indeed seems to do the trick. Not a single reboot so far after 2.5 days.

My G2X actually restarted on its own today. It was the first time since the first few days I had the phone over a month-month and a half ago. Wasn't really a big deal, lol. It comes back on.
Have been playing with this phone for 3 days now and haven't had any issues (I did install xboarder's stock rooted version). Minor screen bleed is the only issue.

Finally, someone (dmaniscool) who can say they switched to an xda dev'ed ROM and got rid of the lock ups. I've posted many times asking if anybody ACTUALLY FIXED a problem (specifically the battery pull lock up); I got no responses, and someone finally stated it. Great. Next time my wife's G2x locks up, I'm rooting and putting a ROM on it.
Thank you dmaniscool

so, PLEASE dmaniscool, occasionally update this thread with your lack of lock-ups, or if you get a lock-up. PLEASE!!!

Will do, so far so good! I had no experience with rooting, and was able to figure it out looking at the guides available on the forum. It kind of looks intimidating, but it's not actually very difficult.
By restart does everyone mean just shuts down? Mine never restarts, it will just shut off.

Mine did both actually, shut down and restarts. But mostly just shut downs, which required a battery pull to power back on.
My 2 will do both - but I think the "shut-off" is a lock up, because the longer I leave it locked up, the less battery I'll have after I do a battery pull.
8 days of both phones not locking up by doing one restart per day per phone.
Since I raised the minimum CPU speed to 389 from 216, I have far fewer sleeps of death
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.
I've tried every ROM and kernel combination possible and nothing actually fixes these problems for me.
Wow this post was scary at first, I had a thunderbolt and no matter what. RUU, Different ROMS, Stock, Kernels, Radios. Changing all that didn't matter it still turns off constantly and doesn't turn back on till I do it meaning no text or calls, basically same as having a phone on silent all the time without even having the luck chance of pulling it out while ringing.....
I am on miui x.26 (whatever kernal that comes with it) and have over 40 hours of uptime. I haven't had a crash yet, I just manually restart every couple of days because I'm weird like that.
Sent from my LG-P999
Well 6 days into it and I've had a total of 2 shutdowns. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but both times were after being outside when it was ~90 degrees out.
This is still much improved, I used to get 3-4 per day on average.
I'm using Eaglesblood 2.3.3. I'm thinking of trying MIUI because it's so nice looking.
For me I did a battery replacement the first time directly from T-Mobile and the phone continued restarting on me. I was just about to request a replacement phone from T-Mobile until I recently purchased a different brand of battery containing the same specs as the stock battery and to my surprise no overheating and definitely no restarts. I feel that the restarts and lockups are due to faulty batteries shipped out with the phones. I'm suprised no one has mentioned this.

Wow, I told the CostCo kiosk girl I was having lock up problems and I had my grandkids with me. She took my phone and pulled the battery - at the same time my grandson stated he had to go to the bathroom NOW. She either looked at the battery or something on the phone under the battery. I didn't have time to ask. She didn't really comment and gave me my phone back.
Hmmmmmm........

ok so do they know what exactly is causing the shut downs or reboot on this phone? i just got mine today and it was pre installed with gingerbread and idk if there is root for the gingerbread build yet. i just want root but no custom rom for me. i love the stock rom. it kicked the crap out of my sensation 4g as far as speed goes in everyday use.
