OK I thought i could start a thread with ways that we can minimize the replay of reboot or freeze problems. Just a solution till LG comes up with a magic patch!
I managed to minimize the reboots by installing Launcher Pro and by not start (after Reset) the Antivirus Crap.
Also I managed to minimize to 1 freezing per 10 charges by charging with different method. (ex. USB , Hub to PC, or other manufacturer) .
Newest CM7 is very stable, not a hiccup all day
I never got the black screen of death early on while owning my phone. It wasn't until a few days in it began happening. It got particularly bad yesterday so I reinstalled CM7 nightly and wiped my battery stats through clockwork recovery. I haven't had a blackscreen for 10 hours now.
Yesterday, did you install #15 by any chance? I found it to be really unstable, #16 is miles better.
Yea, 15 was quite unstable until I reinstalled it a 2nd time. 16 is quite stable so far. I think a general rule to follow would be to reinstall if you find it unstable. If it keeps messing up just hop back to the last stable build.
I haven't has a reboot or lock up since UNINSTALLING juice defender. If that helps
Mine started rebooting after 2 weeks. I had about 10 reboots a day.
But uninstalling juicedefender did the trick for me as well! Finally no reboots anymore!
I havent used Juice Defender, and i dont have any reboots, no lockups or anything..
I just rooted the device + used Root Explorer to remove all the bloatware

Did you rooted from day 1?
Why you didn't update to 10d?
i dont even know how to update lol
i just rooted it with 1click (link in signature) and removed all the crap
it was about a week after i got the phone i think..
without the rooting i also didnt have any reboots or whatsoever.. a little lag occasionally but thats all
after I removed all those memory management apps, task killer apps,
I have no problem again. just try it yourself.
I was advised by a friend whos been using android for a long time NOT to use TaskKiller and stuff..
By just letting all the Apps run, the system is more stable..
Just remove the unnecessary ****
I'm using the stock v10b ( v10d not available in belgium... ) and i had several freeze after using some intensive apps like games or navigation ( screen keep working but nothing respond ). The wierdest is that i can play on the app for long time and once i come back to the home, my phone freeze.
I would like to remove all the crap stuff running but i couldn't find how to uninstall permantly some apps ( like the twitter app ... ). Do i need to root it ?
About reboot. I put some video file on SD card and my phone starts rebooting. I deleted that file and everything is ok. The reboot is started by SD Media Scan. Since then(1-2 months), no reboots.
After I rooted the phone and frooze some bloatware. I didn't have any freezes or reboots at all. U use also juice defender and autokiller. So I can do two days without a charge.

Yesterday I noticed that my NC has an issue with the ADW launcher. It just keeps giving me a force close error. I eventually gave up and put it to "sleep" but apparently it was still sort of running with the screen off because the battery was down to 20% by the end of the day.
This morning it's still doing it. I tried going into recovery and wiping Dalvik Cache but I'm still getting the same FC error. What do I do to fix this as I basically can't do anything since the launcher doesn't work?
The next thing that i would try is either from ROM Manager or Recovery do a fix permissions and see if that nets any results.

I tried that and then I also flashed 102 nightly thinking that maybe that would reset things, but I still have my original background and all of my apps and stuff so maybe something didn't take? I flashed 102, Gapps and the OC kernel. I thought that flashing 102 would reset me back to square one and I'd have to rebuild everything so the fact that I seem to be back to where I was and I am still having the FC issue leads me to believe that something went wrong with the flash.
I'll try running Fix Permissions again just for the hell of it.
No dice. Just ran fix permissions and it still doesn't work.
Sounds to me then (as terrible as this will sound), you may just want to go into recovery, manually wipe system, data, and both caches and start from scratch. i know it sucks, but i have encountered less than a handful of similar situations, and that was the only remedy i could find. Also a thought: I am having awesome results with n105 and Dal's 6/18 OC kernal @ 1325 on both my own and my wife's NC's.
Also if you like ADW Launcher (the one that comes with CM7), might i suggest VTL Launcher, it is built from ADW Code and optimized for a tablet. I fell it is a bit more option friendly, and i have had no issues with it at all... and MOST ADW Themes work well with it.

Thanks for the help. I ended up restoring to a previous save and that seemed to work. At first I freaked out because I got the Launcher FC again. But once that went away everything seemed to be fine. I reflashed 102, Gapps and the Kernel. Hopefully everything will be ok. I'll check out the launcher you suggested. I assume you can get it from the market? Sorry but I'm pretty much a complete noob with this stuff. I don't even have a cell phone so this is my first experience with apps and modding electronics. I am barely familiar with ADW.
I had this issue at one point, once I flashed a new nightly one day, it just stopped. /shrug

You are most welcome, i hope i was of some help That link i gave you for the VTL Launcher is a link to download it direct from the dev.
Thanks guys, I've gotten everything working again. But now I just realized that I probably lost all my Plants vs. Zombies game data. Oh well.
I´m having quite a frustrating problem. Tried to search the net for hours, only finding a handful of people with the same issue but no solution. So, I wondered if anyone can help me out here? The problem is that my clock is not updating while screen is off. Naturally, this affects all alarms and notifications as well.
20:15 -> I adjust alarm to 20:30 and put the screen off. I press power right after the screen has gone off, and see the lockscreen.
Lockscreen informs it´s 20:15 and the alarm is set at 20:30.
20:30 -> Nothing happens.
20:45 -> I press power. Clock says 20:15 for a second. After one second, it shows 20:45, and the alarm starts ringing.
So the problem is quite easy to identify- the clock doesn´t get updated when screen is off. The moment I switch it on -seeing the lockscreen- it gets updated and acts accordingly if any alarms or notifications were to ring at the period it was not updating. However, it´s much less easy to find out what´s behind it. Could anyone spare me a hint here?
I´m running a rooted P7300 with CM10, 30/10 build. Using Tasker to underclock while the screen is off in order to preserve battery life. I thought that caused the problem, but while leaving the CPU untouched....
01:00 -> Switching tablet off, putting alarm at 9:00
09:10 -> Wife wakes me up instead of the alarm. I press power.
Clock says 8:48 for a second. After that second, it gets updated, shows 9:10, and the alarm starts ringing.
I´m getting a little clueless here, so any help would be appreciated.
Running rooted P7300 with CM10 (30/10 build).
Cheers, Henu.
EDIT: Ok, I´ve come to the conclusion that this freezing happens when entering Deep Sleep. If that could give anyone any clues?
Works on CM10 version 11-11
Hi,
I can confirm that it works correctly in CM10 from 11-11.
I only have one weird problem left: the device drains more power when turned of than in standby.
I have been running the 11_11 build since it was released and had not had clock issues until today. I am not overly technical and have no clue why it is happening again. But for as smooth as this rom is I will live with it.
When mine gets confused on time it will not reset itself once i wake the tablet up, it stays messed up until I manually fix it.

Launcher ?
Do you use the stock launcer? Mine did strange things when using the apex launcher. No problems with stock launcher from cm10.
I am using the stock launcher but have installed nova and thinking about giving it a try

You could try the clock sync app from the play store. It worked on my phone when it had clock sync issues with a rom. Unfortunately, i'm new to xda, so I can't post the link, but just go to the play store and search for clock sync. It's by Sergey Barinov.
Thanks, but unfortunately none of this methods helped- I´m still having the same issue even with the 11/11- build, running Clock Sync as well. Anyone could shed any light here? I wish I wouldn´t have to go back to some (yuck) stock version.
I don't know if this will help but I just resolved this issue for myself. I did a factory reset. And also wiped all caches and system before flash. Then immediately after flash before rebooting system I wiped everything again except system. And then I started up and there was no issue with the clock. I'm running cm 10. I hope this helps.

Sounds like voodoo but I´m all in for trying even that. I will post the results tomorrow.
To confirm:
1) Basic superwipe procedure (factory reset/ system, cache, dalvik)
2) flash OS -> don´t boot yet up to OS like normally
3) wipe cache & dalvik
4) THEN reboot -> to OS?
Voodoo, baby.
It worked. Seriously, what the hell. My wild guess is that some file(s) might be corrupted in the actual package- and when the system notices they are missing at the first boot, it will replace them with working ones. Then again, I´m no Android/ Linux expert.
With a clean install, I ran alarm after 8 hours. Worked. Then I added Apex Launcher, waited 2 hours. Alarm went on. Installed everything again with Titanium Backup, put alarm after an hour. Still worked. So I can confirm that it´s not app- dependant but OS- dependant. However, it worked, so thanks a goddamn zillion!!!
Congratulations. Just happy to help.

I´m going to snap this piece of junk into half soon.
The problems came back, no reason why. I´m now trying one more thing, which is completely disabling Tasker, as it´s basically the only thing running while the screen is off. If that doesn´t help, i´m clueless.
EDIT: What a surprise, it didn´t help. So, it´s either non- functioning CM10 or stock ICS. I could had settled with CM9 easily, but that gave me the battery bug after two weeks. Seriously, this whole me- buying- a- tablet- and- getting- it- to- work has been a living joke. I just would love to have a stripped down OS with a Kernel supporting "all sorts of stuff" like processor speed, running app restriction, tweakable backlight etc.
Ok, so I wiped cache and dalvik and it worked for a couple of hours. Then last night the clock froze again. And this was quite interesting..
Alarm set at 10:30
I wake up 11:15 (hey, it was New Year´s Eve )
I press power and the clock says 11:15 and next alarm is set "tuesday 10:30".
Two seconds later the alarm hops into "wednesday 10:30".
Two hours later I press power, and the clock is 11:15 for a second and jumps to real time. So it´s definitely broken again.
I was just wondering- maybe I could try replacing the clock with another kernel´s version, would that be possible? Any help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: I also tried -once again- without automatic time& date (as my connectivity is set to cut off while the screen is off) and it still didn´t alarm me until I manually pressed the screen on.
EDIT2: Ran A1 kernel, no effect, still bugged.
EDIT3: Ran Tracid´s official ICS. Worked for a day, then bugged. Same thing with A1 kernel. I also had some serious issues with MTP connection and bootloader, so I restored stock and brought it back to the store where I got it for warranty repair. They think it´s a faulty MoBo.
I´m shamelessly bumping this. I ran the stock firmware with Odin and took it to the repair, as I wrote earlier.
Got the tab from warranty repair, seems that the only thing they had performed was "software update" . Very useful for someone who is constantly switching ROMs etc... like I hadn´t tried that before.
After returning to stock and all, I installed CM10 again. And "surprisingly", the problems started again. With or without apps, launchers, cachewipes, younameit. I´m now giving this a test with the stock ROM for a couple of days. I actually hope it doesn´t work, because that would be the only reasonable thing now. If it works with the stock ROM, I´m getting clueless. Does that mean I have some sort of issue which happens only in flashed ROMs instead of the stock one? That would be just....awkward.
Extreme kudos and awesomeness and gratitude to jcsullins and all the folks involved with developing CM10/Android for the TP. Thank you.
I had been watching the forums to figure out a good time to "jump in" and yesterday I took the moments to install CM10.1 (4/18/13) on my TP. I was amazed at how seamless and flawless the installation was. It seemed it took less time to do the install than it did to download CM10 (download was ~100kb (kB?)/s). CM10 came up running without any problems.
Of course, it wasn't without some issues After confirming CM10 was functional (along w/Wi-Fi, etc.) I installed gapps and that's where the problems began. I first tried gapps-jb-20130409-signed (which did not get installed with CM10). After it was installed, I lost the keyboard app (kept getting messages about the keyboard no longer working). I tried suggestions of default/reset and clearing both caches. Didn't fix the problem. Wasn't sure how to uninstall gapps, so I did a complete CM10 reinstall and tried gapps-jb-20130409-signed again. Still no good. I thought maybe it was a compatibility issue (I could never be absolutely clear which gapps would work with which CM version). So, I went with gapps-jb-20130301-signed. Same problems. I then came across gapps-jb-4.2-Gapps-And-Extras-Signed (I changed the name to be sure it would work with ClockWorksMod) mentioned in a posting. This seemed to do the trick. Keyboard remains fully functional.
I'm curious if there are any log files kept on the TP from the install. Each time I installed CM10, I noticed in the messages rolling up the screen that certain directories couldn't be found. And I think a few of them were related to gapps installation. I'd be interested to see what that was about.
The only problem I've noticed in the short time I've played with it is that the Wi-Fi went inactive (and not temporarily). I went into settings and tried to turn it off and then back on. Once I turned it off, I wasn't allowed to turn it on. There are prob'ly 1/2 a dozen or more Wi-Fi sites nearby, but the TP couldn't see any of them. I ended up doing a power down/reboot and that brought back Wi-Fi.
Anyway, I am very pleased with the new OS. And happy to be independent from WebOS, since its future is unknown.
Cheers....Steph
A two years old device with the latest Android, yeah, its definitively a great work!
Log files are saved in the back up and/or in /cache/recovery/last_log . Also do you have the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" setting set to Never? That might be why your wifi is having issues, because I had the same issue when mine was set to Never. Now I usually keep mine set to Always and it hasn't had that issue and doesnt seem to use the battery too much.

Im curious, were you testing CM10 or CM10.1?
Go and read a guide again, you're installing the wrong gapps. The ones it specifically says not to use.
You need this one:

Seems once again Sony can't seem to get a stable phone. Shame as it offers so much potential with good design and great specs but failing on software again.
Constant app crashes, phone freezing,
Just goes to show you can't just chuck all the latest bits in a package and think it will work.
Going to have to return this unless there is a sudden fix in the next few days as I only have a 14 day change or mind.
That hasn't been my experience at all. I got the US phone and flashed the UK firmware. I haven't had any issues whatsoever. You should try a factory reset before returning the phone.
I have it for 2 weeks now, no freeze or reboots whatsoever... European Firmware here...
My phone was purchased from O2 in the UK. Don't think there is much bloat on there so don't think it's O2 that's screwed it up.
Phone is completely standard with just a handful of apps on it.
So far I have had numerous '' email has stopped working' to Google stopped working to music not working errors.
OK Google seems to hardly ever work. Almost seems like it can't hear the hot word.
I also think that many of the push services are being put to sleep which is why the battery life is so could as I often don't get notifications until I wake the phone yet the same accounts on my old s3 always come through first.
So far had one update come out for the phone. Don't know if it's the latest firmware though.
I can totally not agree with you.
Well I guess all I can do is try reset then but it's such a pain in the ar#e putting all your info back in again.

Does the launcher you use rebuild your home screens after a reset? I still use Google Now Launcher, and after a reset, when I reinstall GNL, everything is put back in its proper place, even web browser page links.
I am using the US firmware, and have not experienced any of the problems you mention. You may have a defective unit. Then again, if you're not happy with the phone for other reasons (and there certainly are things that could be better), you certainly don't want to wait past the return date!
I'm running the UK firmware with the US OEM file to have Volte and fingerprint sensor on T-Mobile and has been rock solid since day one. I would reset.
Have reset the phone and just setting it back up.
Will see how it goes over the next few days.
One thing I did think that was odd previously when it was playing up was when it would crash and reset itself was that when it started up it was on the Google keyboard set up screen. I had installed the Google keyboard as I preferred it to SwiftKey. Maybe the issues were linked to that somehow.
Wow too many errors there... Probably a faulty unit... Or maybe u should do a software repair with Sony pc companion
Don't forget it runs Android Orea 8.0 by means a lot of third party apps may not fully compatible at this moment, consider not many phones running Oreo hence the app developers are not in hurry to tweak their app to run smooth in Oreo. That's what causes the occasional app crashes I believe.
OK so after the full reset and initial impressions are good. Seems smooth with no crashes. I'm back running nova launcher (previously instilled this as thought it might be linked) ive also not installed Google keyboard yet and giving SwiftKey a go.
Only issue that really remains is the one with the ambient sensor. Find my self having to switch the adaptive brightness off at night when using the phone as it jumps around. Need to then switch it back in on the day where it seems fine. Hopefully a fix comes for this soon.

On reddit someone write that he downloaded LUX https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitocassisi.luxlite and everything was working much much better. Maybe later i will find the post. (https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/)
No single reboot or app crash for me.
The only thing that crashes on me on occasion is Google Photos, other than that, rock solid so far.
Just had an a 3rd party app crash but as someone mentioned above it might be because the developer has not updated yet for oreo???
Other than that been much better so far

Same for me. 3 weeks i have got it 100% stable.:good:
Uhm ok I guess now it's my turn.
Today the "touch" went crazy. 2 times. Like for example keeping pressing recent button ? will result in multiple touches. Basically every touch is not a "pressing" touch. So I can't do swiping or other keep pressing relative touching. First time happened, a reboot fixed. Second time nothing worked. I have to SHUT DOWN THE PHONE AND WAIT A LITTLE BIT, then turn it on and everything was OK...
Is it just me?
P.s. UPDATE: I tried everything, safe mode, total reset, even software repair through PC companion...nothing. Its obviously a hardware problem, not software related. I returned this morning to assistance. They should give it back to me within a week...
My first week with XZ1C, 100% working, perfect, no reboot or other problems. One of the best phones I ever bought...
Phone's stable, no software/hardware issues. Working away reliably, battery consistently giving me expected results (ending day with 25%-50%, depending on use), connectivity perfect, performance smooth as butter.
