[Q] Does anyone NOT have the reboot/crash issues?

Hi,
I'm seriously considering going out and buying this phone but I'm really not sure after seeing all the threads with people saying that they go back to their phone and it's switched off and requires a battery pull.
This seems to be a fairly serious problem but I was just wondering if it is happening to everyone who owns the O2x?
Please let me know if you are unaffected by the problem!

I've had mine since March and I have not experienced any freezes or reboots.
It really is a great piece of hardware. I'm not that fond of LGs software, but that can be solved with a custom ROM.

So, how do you get on Rusty, you seem like a very experienced XDA member.. how is the O2X treating you?

i am not the best guy to talk to . i just got the phone used yesterday for very cheap. i figured that if i dont like it, i can sell it for the same money or even make a little more and get the SGS2.
but so far. no crashes/reboots.. been more than 24 hours. using custom rom as well.
i got the phone for 300$. the stickers still on it. i figure if i decide to sell it. i wont lose at all..
so far. i am really loving the phone. i love the UI of LG. but its slow. it laggs. i wonder if there is a custom rom with the LG UI but smooth one.
right now i am on modaco. with 3000 quadrant. if i switch to google launcher. phone is smooth. if i switch to LG one, it laggs a little in the home screen. i tried the Tmobile version 2.3 on my optimus. its super smooth. but i cant make phone calls on it lol.
and i had a screen problem with the cayanogen rom. for some reason my screens dims and go bright on its own.
oh yeah. i also have a screen light leak/bleed. but it doesnt bother me much because the only way i can notice it if the room is dark and i have a black wallpaper.

Mine went slow once on stock, once isn't bad though. The froyo Rom does seem rushed in truth, (I have random battery drains from my Dialer which makes no sense) but I'm sure Gingerbread will have everything sorted.

Pretty well to be honest. I use CM7 nighties (I bought the phone specifically because it was going to be supported by them) so I cannot expect a bug free experience at this early stage.
I am enjoying it though, I came from a Nexus One that had bugger all internal storage and a poor digitizer, so proper multi-touch and 1.5GB spare for apps is fantastic.
The IPS screen is great if you can overlook the associated backlight bleed (it's not just the 2X, look at iOS devices as well, same thing), the GPS chip is excellent, I can get locks in place that my N1 couldn't.
The stock ROM is turd, frankly. It's fast, until you install something, then it becomes unusable for a bit until it's finished with the app... quality coding

fine
i have my lg optimus 2x now for over a month, no problems here.
i stil have the stock rom.
first v10a. no problem
later v10b. no problem

I have had 2 O2x now for litle over a month
one of them has had BSOD and restarts randomly - the other had none, atleast for the first month - but these past days this one has now also rebooted a couple of times.
Both are completely stock - not rooted and not using any custom roms.
Only using a different launcher which do help make the BSOD and Reboots less often.

I been over there as well. Most of the problems on the SGS 2 are either software or can be solved with apps. My O2X had so many problems that I could never use the phone and wifi at the same time. Bleeding, constant reboots/freezes crashes even with Custom ROMs. Since Im in afghanistan now I need a phone that will work not just when it feels like it. I will say that when the O2X was working it was a sweet phone. I just dont see the same problems with the SGS2 and Samsung tends to be better in the service side instead of LG leaving us pissing in the wind waiting for a "possible update" that might fix things or not.

guess i´m a lucky guy, too!
i have no crashes/reboots and absolutely NO backlight bleeding

Mine is also working properly.

Upgrade to version D
Hi there!
Did the upgrade to version D about a week ago. Still had issues with reboots from the first day so I did a hard reset to factory default.
You'd think things would improve!!!
Within 24 hours it started rebooting again. This time in a continuous loop. Even a battery pull couldn't stop it. Had to do a hard reset again. Naturally lost everything on it.
Have now asked Phones4u for a replacement. They've been very helpful. Even extended the return period. I reckon they know the 'phones has issues. Waiting for the replacement.
SO 'NO' THE VERSION D UPGRADE DOESN'T FIX THE REBOOTING PROBLEM!!!
I've been using XDA/HTC branded 'phones since 2002 and have NEVER had any issues with them.
If the replacement has the same problem I'll be asking Phones4u for non LG phone replacement.
In the meantime I'm using my trusty old HD2 to with a HTC Desire HD rom

http://mobile.engadget.com/2011/05/...orlds-first-dual-core-phone-necessitating-an/

Great stuff - the more coverage the better .

Nice! I just posted both today's articles on the Facebook page of LG Germany (http://www.facebook.com/LG). Let's see how much longer LG can remain silent about it.

heard from LG today who told me the update/fix was now available and gave me a link to their support page.
I checked my phone and it says i'm already up to date with v10D

yes - it seems that LG in all their "wisdom" still have no clue and beleive the earlier released baseband update would fix these problems - which it doesnt.
I have heard others in different parts of the world receive the same answer regarding the update.

Actually my mom's phone was almost problem free on EURO OPEN 10b. I updated it to Bulgaria 10D and she told me that the phone had shut off. I updated with EURO OPEN 10C and again it's problemless

So the update thats supposed to fix the problems is the 10D-update? If thats the case I'm throwing this POS away and never gonna look at another LG-thing again. That means throwing my TV out aswell.
Seems like LG gives two ****s about this issue and hey, why would they? They already got my money.

I have contacted BBC News tonight as maybe they can run story on the tech page?
Maybe if others emailed them too, they will be more willing to run it.
I copied the link to this http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/l...reboot-problem
and told them basic's.

Believe it our not, but v10D makes it worse. Our phone now has the charging freeze going more. Before v10D we didn't have that.
LG can go to hell. I have "upgraded" my wife's phone to an Incredible S until this **** is sorted.

I also have troubles on V10d. LG is just trying to buy more time here....
Jakob

My phone has been v10b (i gather it is a uk version of v10d) from the day i purchased it, which is almost over a month ago, phone shut off only a couple of times and rebooted once, may be twice till a week ago. Since a week ago it started rebooting almst every day once, mostly in the mornings. So can‘t see how that could be a fix.

New firmware update currently being tested. Expected release within two weeks.

News regarding the coming firmware update for the O2X.
LG Denmark confirms that the update is ready by next week or next week again - that is week 23 or 24.
- "The update is imminent, and are ready in one to two weeks, " says LG's Danish mobile manager Morten Aagaard to Mobilsiden.dk.
He explains that the update is currently being tested on all operators' networks in Denmark to ensure that it works one hundred percent - the same testing is currently also being performed in other European countries. When the update is a joint European release it must be released simultaneously in all countries.
"Therefore it is hard to say when exactly the update comes. It's fair enough that people get angry, but the update must of course also just be working, "says Morten Aagaard.

Well, it is still the newest statement from LG that we have at the moment.
But in general, I think every manufacturer should have a "I will believe it, when I see it" section. HTC, Samsung, Sony Ericsson to name a few. The list is long

haha, thats right, but iam lucky with my slick n.31 rom, very fast and stable, got no freezes or something.Iam anxios, how the devolopers will improve the new LG rom ^^

They probably are not sure they actually located the rebooting problem. Since it is (almost) impossible to reproduce the reboot they need such a long testing time, with no indication at all it will fix things lmao...

well. im not having any reboots...
what i want is gingerbread

I think we can believe them, that they try... it can't be easy to identify, and cure such a random thing... we should let them test it... no one would be satisfied if the just released a patch which won't help be patient people, LG knows he has to care, unless people won't buy their future stuff... they'll fix our problems

They will try it..and when they will see the first reboot or second then its time...!Update is ready reboots is working fine!let the update be released in the whole world... LOL
lets hope not to face something like that again for some fellas here with reboots problems...!

Here's a thought for LG, network operator's testing will only go so far to "break" the firmware.
IMHO, send the test firmware to the top 20 most chronic "battery pullers" on this forum. If they can all run it for a 2 weeks with no problems, it would certainly be a big improvement in stability.

Good news. If without any solution, probably, we need to change to use another mobile.

O2x Embarrassingly slow

Had to sort out my Brothers HTC Desire last night, reinstalling everything after a repair.
It was embarrassing seeing how fast installations were.
Apps downloaded, installed and the phone was instantly ready to go.
My O2x on the other hand grinds to a halt when installing anything. I updated 4 apps last night and my phone was pretty much unusable during the downloads and installation.
After the apps were installed it still sat there for a good 30secs at 99-100% CPU usage.
The phone was stuttering and unusable until the Processor settled down.
I remember when I got this phone I was telling my brother about the Dual core processor etc. This may sound good but it's useless if it falls over when doing the most simple of tasks and gets outperformed by something running half the power

yes, a very annoying bug, welknown by everyone - except LG
very embarrising for LG

Yep, a pretty good cockup by LG. Custom ROMs don't have this 'feature' though.

is there any way to sort this without resorting to a custom ROM?

No, you'd need to wait for LG to sort it.

Looks like there could be a long wait ahead. lol

The fix will be out before end of March next year, maby. As soon as we (LG) sorted the reboot and BSOD issue we (LG) will start working on your problem.
So in two weeks a year from now we promise you there will be a solution, if not sometime in spring 2013 for sure.
Althou we (LG) can't promise anything.
If you buy your telephone after summer 2013 you will be able to upgrade it to Gingerbread straight out of the box. Congrats!

There is a patch that Paul has made a week after the phones release.
r2-stock-performance-pack
And here is the explanation why this happens.
Explanation
Note the date of the post and mind that the phone was released In Europe In the last May weeks / begin of April.
If only every Android phone manufacturer gave their phones to Paul before release.

I looked at that but had also heard it didn't fix the lag.
My other concern was would Flashing CWM Recovery affect getting official updates OTA
I'm sure someone has said before that LG updates fail if you have a custom recovery

If they're a standard update.zip then they should still install on ClockworkMod recovery.

i dont get it, am i the only one without any sort of lag when dling/installing apps ? it just does it, and pretty darn fast too.
what the hell. and im on STOCK, no performance patches or nothing, only rooted and some stuff frozen. v10B

I have a lag as well. Like you just rooted with some apps uninstalled.
I kinda accept it though. My thoughts are that FSecure is scanning the install and therefore that's what's causing the problem. It's worse if you update say 4-5 apps at once.
TBH I'm not worried. I'm the kinda guy who just leaves a PC installing and hass a cup of tea. Same difference here really isn't it?

It's not F-Secure, it does it with that removed.

In my opinion. If you count by valve time it would be a TF 2 comparison.

I totally agree, they need to hear us. You got a good piece of hardware here and if you want to wipe out the competition, you just have to deliver...still not gonna whine about the phone because its a hell of a phone for me and I don't regret having it...
I just hope they deliver ICS though, I won't care if they dont release GB if ICS is up and running on the phone

If the GB update solve all the current issues, I dont think it would take much time for them to deliver ICS, but still it depends on LG it they wants to give us ICS.

we will get ICS when Gellybean comes out, lg works on a different year.
