I am running GV 1.3, and CPU Master Free clocked 1.5/500mhz.
Had 1.2 before 1.3 and it ran OK, occasional bugs but nothing crazy for a custom ROM. Flashed 1.3 and did a complete data wipe along with it. No errors. Installed recovery from the APK, used easy installer also with no issues.
Phone will randomly vibrate (incoming emails for exchange and gmail are set to vibrate) until it reboots. This is a rare issue and one I can live with...
...but what is getting very odd and possibly costly is what it does at night. I have woken up, for the last 3 nights consecutively, to the phone booted into recovery. My job requires me to be able to answer the phone at just about any hour (yay for tech support) so I am just wondering if anybody else is running into a similar problem.
Thanks guys.
You could try downclocking to like 1300mhz and see if that changes anything.
The only way I can make this phone reboot is through resource intensive processes like Netflix, or tethering multiple devices on Wi-fi Tether, never remember a reboot happening out of the blue...
Thanks for the response. How are you enjoying the warm weather? I am over on the west side of the state and we are enjoying the nice, if cold, reprieve from rain.
I do not get the impression it's from use. In fact I would argue that it is either occurring when I get an email, or is simply random, as it only happens when the phone is not being used. I.E. sitting beside me on the desk or on my nightstand when i'm asleep.

Vibrating, our phone loves the vibrate... so much so that it reboots itself from it... if at all possible don't put it on vibrate and it shouldn't happen or so the rumor goes...

It's been hovering around 30 + or - so not something I would call warm! But it's been pretty dry and sunny, so that's good at least.
There have been reports of that vibrate=reboot before as S.Meezy explained, but as to why or how to fix it is anyone's guess unfortunately
I am unable to run @ 1.5ghz, my temp will go up to 105 and then reboot (sometimes as high as 107). It doesn't do it as often at 1.2 but it never reboots into recovery.
I've never experienced the vibrate=reboot problem and I leave it on vibrate all the time... Weird.

the best is when it gets stuck on vibrating for a minute or two then reboots. I blame LG, it seems that when the screen is off it doesn't like to wake up for calls quickly (sometimes it vibrates two or three times before the screen even cones on for me at least) or even pushing the power button and the ~1 second lag before you can use the touch screen as seen on the stock android lockscreen mod. I think they force the CPU to slow down to try and force sleep/idle and not allow processes to destroy the battery to drain while screen off, but what do I know...

All versions of Gvolt caused this random "vibraboot" but only when my phone was on silent.
Happened a few times on incoming calls and almost every time I received a notification from gtalk. It became such a problem I migrated away from gtalk almost completely.
A couple of complete wipes/reflashes(1.3), blitz (1500/346)and the newest v6 and I'm STILL nervous about vibraboot. Thankfully it hasn't come up again, but I still avoid gtalk...

Here's my theory, are you using cpu master with the power save feature? I had the same issues with setcpu running power save. And as soon as I switched to conservative mode the resets stopped.

Thanks for all of the comments.
I will turn off vibrate for emails and see what happens thanks for the comments.
I am thinking that it could also have something to do with the CPU settings.
I guess I will play around with it a bit and see what is up.

Don't get me wrong, my phone reboots at least once every other day. Been doing it since the day I got it (even before root).
Maybe I'm misunderstanding? The phone does vibrate before rebooting, but it does the same thing when I reboot/power-off manually. Or are you saying it continuously vibrates then reboots?
I have to leave my phone on vibrate while at home (my wife finds my notification ring tones to be annoying ) I have emails, txts, and calls come through and have never had this problem...
I've been finding that my phone reboots from overheating a lot. I've recently set setcpu to underclock once it hits 102 degrees, been running that for a few days now, so far no reboots (crossing fingers).

That drives me crazy, it makes the phone feel even junkier than it is already
My phone vibrate reboots quite often. It never happened before the gb update. No freezes ever while on froyo. When first updated to gb it used to just freeze the touch screen and became unresponsive when screen was on but a simple power button to turn screen off and on would fix it. Now on newer versions of gingervolt it usually just vibrates continously and reboots. It's really annoying and I haven't found any certain cause of it even tho I pay close attention to it. Wish someone could fix this issue.

Had no problems last night as far as resetting goes. First time for that in a couple days. Also no random resets throughout the day. I feel pretty safe saying it was indeed vibrate causing the issues.
Thanks for the help by everyone

The problem exist especially when you are charging. It occur also when you put your phone to sleep while running on GPS. Very fedup with it.
It is categorized in Freeze and Reboot Problem
It's the first stage of that problem, if you continue using it, you will suffer the reboot problem

solution to some bsod models. Tested, working!
Many p990 bsod models have faulty soldering of some sort. A solution which have worked for many is to simply plug in your charger. When your phone goes to sleep and doesnt wake up when you hit the power button, just leave it be for 12+ hours. Place your phone on something soft as well, like your bed. This will heat up the device and fix the faulty soldering. If it does not work, try longer period of charging. Good luck. (I will take no responsibility if this does not work as planned)
This was tried on a bsod model which went to unresponsive sleep every 5-30 minutes. After this procedure it was faultless

I've had my LG for quite some time now and I still trying to figure it out. So, if you're patient enough, please, just bare with me for a while as I explain what I've tried so far what what were the results.
A lot of people complains about this phone... unstable, crashes, reboots, BSOD, etc...
The first problem I had, came with the stock ROM... after a while the Wi-Fi just stopped working and it would display "Error..." as a message. The only solution was to reboot. 3 or 4 days after I had bought it, this was already killing me... so I started trying other ROMs but all seemed to suffer from some sort of problem except for one (see phone info below), which I've been running since June and I find it impeccably stable I can basically keep my phone running for as long as I want, as long as the battery doesn't run out (obviously), which brings me to a second point... battery drain!!
The battery drain was the only problem I didn't manage to find a solution for... and after a certain while, even though my phone was stable, having to charge my phone every single day was becoming very annoying.
Since I live in a different country than my GSM operator, it doesn't come as a news flash that network look-up has a big impact on the battery life, specially because I live close enough to the border to be able to keep the signal but in some parts of my house the signal is lost forcing the phone to search for a new network, which sometimes it finds (roaming) and sometimes it comes back to the original network and so on... However, what I find, unarguably, to have the biggest impact on the battery is having the Wi-fi enabled when there's no available network, it's just huge, it can suck up the battery in a few hours...
So, I decided to try some of those power management apps such as Locale, Green Power and some other, in order to minimize these problems, but curiously, they all caused the same problem... BSOD within a matter of minutes. I installed the app, configured it, waited for the phone to go into sleep and puff... it was gone. The only way out of it was removing the battery. I uninstalled the app, and the phone was stable again... this happened with every single app of the kind, that I have tried.
At the moment my phone is as stable as it gets but if I don't pay it enough attention, the battery dies in a blink of an eye.

Ok so i am trying to determine what my problem is.. here are the symptoms. When i try and end a call i sometimes have to press multiple times or deliberately press and hold the end button and sometimes it doesn't respond pretty much at all. Also i am using go launcher and when i press icons that are in the dock bar they have the same issues. I also have similar issues when i text it's really annoying so is anyone else have similar issues?

Same here. I've noticed that to hang up it takes a deliberate double tap. Also, the screen will sometimes become inoperable requiring a reboot. This has happened three times since first getting it. One note if that out happened twice stock, and once with decrapped 1.1
Any body else seen this?
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA Premium App
I haven't seen it anywhere else, but I have seen the double tap on the end button to end a call. Seems to happen frequently. A "feature?"
Either way, it's annoying.
Running Go Launcher as well.
To me, it seems like it takes the screen a really long time to wake up from being off, in all cases - for example, dial voicemail and put the phone to your ear. When you get the prompt to put in your PIN, take it away and the screen comes on, try to punch the dialpad button immediately and it just won't work. I tried it as I was writing this and had to triple tap the button.
Same thing with the lockscreen (still on the stock lockscreen for now). The screen will wake up and it takes a second or two to even start to register finger swipes. It's really annoying...
Speaking of phone lockup, I received a call a few days ago and the phone froze - I couldn't answer the call, or do anything, all the while the phone just kept ringing. Had to pull the battery. I'm still on the stock ROM.
Me too! I had a call and it froze. Battery pull as well. Also, forgot to mention I am using open home launcher.

Yep it's a bug either in LG's function to turn on and off the screen in Android, or the kernel drivers that enable/disable the touchscreen. There is about a 1 second delay to it.
I discovered this lovely bug while porting the AOSP lockscreen mod.
I'll run some more tests to see whether it's an android bug or a kernel bug. I'm betting it's android (something like the screen being turned on before the touch controller has had time to reinitialize itself, or something more complicated like a race condition of some kind...)
Either way, with cm7 around the corner, I don't think it's that big of a bug

Has anyone else heard of this problem? Sometimes when I receive a text message the phone will receive the message and start vibrating, at which point the screen goes black and all buttons become unresponsive. The phone will continue to vibrate for about ten seconds before rebooting. It doesn't do it every time, and it only does it for text messages, and only when the phone is set to vibrate upon receiving a text message.
I'm running GingerVolt 1.3 and had the same issue on 1.2 and 1.1. I am not sure if it did the same thing on the stock rom. I have wiped data/factory reset and that does not seem to fix it. I am also using Handcent SMS, if that could have anything to do with it.
Any information about this is greatly appreciated!

I've had it happen a couple times recently. Once yesterday and once this morning. Both times I was in Vibrate Only mode. I was not receiving texts at the time, but it could have been triggered by email alerts or phone calls. I noticed the phone buzzing for ten seconds, the screen was unresposive and the LED indicator was blue. Then it showed the LG screen with a small buzz and loads up fine.
I had it happen when using Exchange once - The phone was hot to begin with, so I knew something was wrong. I received the Exchange e-mail notification, pulled down the notification bar, clicked and bam - reboot.
I'm glad to hear it's not just me. This has been happening since I got my Revo, on both my original and warranty replacement.
I've never used stock long enough to know if it occurred on any of them.
But for me the phone doesn't reboot after 10 seconds, it just keeps vibrating like a prank sex toy from hell until I remove the battery.

See if the same behavior is observed when vibrate is turned off. There could be an issue with your haptic engine causing it to crash and this would help narrow it down.
Only happens on vibration for me, also. But I have it on vibrate ~90% of the time so I don't know if this qualifies as proof to that fact

As the title states, im having problems with the timer function after the update.
Before i could set the timer and let it run in the background while the screen is off.
But now, as soon as i press the power-button and the screen goes blank, the timer stoppes! This is really bugging me since its a function a use alot.
Anybody has any ideas as to why this happens? Can you test and report back to me if you are noticing the same?
Thx!
*Edit*
The timer actually resets when i hit the home button and the screen is turned off using the power-button. It resumes from start again when i re-enter the timer. Is this how it should be?

I've noticed recently, either after the 902 update or very shortly after, my vibrate function stopped on goSMS and Trillian. Then come to think of it nothing was vibrating anymore. I finally screwed around more today and found the settings in sound for vibrate was now set to Never. I've always had it on Always. Odd...turned it back to always...still no vibrate. :-(
Rebooted. Nothing. Powered off and pulled battery. Waited three minutes to be damn sure volatile memory is wiped. Put battery back in and rebooted. Nope. Still won't vibrate for anything. :-( its gotta be software. It was working fine for forever.
Rooted with nothing removed, modified, or frozen. In the immortal words of LOLcats worldwide, HALP! I use silent and only vibrate for almost everything. I hate audible alerts. So this is killing me cause I'm missing so many messages. Any help or opinions would be appreciated.
