As I see, I guess there are approximately 5% of the total amount of Optimus 2X that got problem about freezing screen and reboot itself.
No one can solve this problem unless go back to LG and claim new one.
But, no one can make sure that the new one will not have the same problem again.
Now I am sending my 2X back to LG and wait them to send a new 2X back to me.
I am so worried if I get the new mobile with problem again.
So, I would like to know anybody who already claim the mobile from LG and still got the problem. I would like to know the statistics of the user.
If your guess is right, you will get a good unit with a 95% probability.
Sounds good, no?
Confirmed here in Netherlands people indeed got back a new phone with same issues.....
I got the g2x...and can confirm that my phone is not defective...works great..

I work for a phone compagny and so far i think 5% can be true. But that was before the updates. After the updates nobody (at least with me) came back with complains

i'm still using stock rom with v10b..never face the reboot issues
p/s this phone is really great!!
thank all guys, if I got a good phone at the beginning, I would not feel like this.
I'm in Thailand and I bought this phone on May 7, 2011 for 20,900 baht (~680 USD)
When Samsung Galaxy S2 is released, the price down to 15,900 baht (~520 USD) within a month.
The point is I got a problem phone. That means I can't use phone well along 1 month.
Feeling like I throw away 160 USD to LG for free.
for almost a month i didn't have problems but in the recent time it started to behave strange... today i had my second reboot...
i'm not getting some sms messages at all... however the sender got's message that it was sent... sometimes they call me, but my phone doesn't make any sign of it, but at the other end it is ringing...
kinda strange behaviour, not I am the only one with these calling and sms bugs...
the charging is also crap, somtimes i just charge it, and the charging indicator is tuck at some value, and the phone is really hot... then i restart it, and the value just jumps higher, and a temperature of the phone gets ok...
the charging problem seems a hardware issue... i'm thinking on sending it back... but I don't know what else to buy... this one has all the features i need, sgs2 and sensation are too expensive for me... so i'm hoping that lg will do something in the summer... otherwise i'm sending it back :S
My phone started rebooting recently. Yesterday it rebooted twice and tonight it shut down causing me to miss the alarm.
Before this it went 2 months without any reboots.
Wtf?
Installed anything recently?
Flash 10.3 update maybe?
I just heard an information from Thai webboard.
He said that the warranty of 2X can let the user claim it for only one time.
That means you cannot claim it again if the new one got problem again.
Suck LG
I have no issues either so I can't imagine having these reboots is like.
They said the same thing for the VIP service here in Netherlands. Max 3 swaps, But some people already did swap #4

Try to format your external SD. Upgrade to Fr18Rom. If the problem cannot fix. Return the phone to LG. It‘s hardware issue.

I am sure that
- ROM cannot solve this problem
- It MIGHT be Hardware problem, but no clue can confirm this (most of people still believe it's software problem)
I think some buggy apps and buggy kernel let your phone reboot or sleep dead.
I think the speaker on my One has blown. The sound is very distorted even when on low volumes. Could this be a software issue or is it most likely to be hardware?
I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed the latest version of TrickDroid so I'm not sure where I stand with the warranty.
Thanks is advance.
On HTC warranty - most probably it is void now. You can call them and check if they are willing to fix a rooted phone.
In EU (and I assume you are in UK) you have Statutory Warranty - 2 years.This is regulated by consumer regulations and this comes from EU. This one is NOT void through rooting - http://piana.eu/root. This said - I am currently having serious problems with fixing my S3 this way in Norway (legislation is identical) and I have to go through consumer counsel/tribunal which takes up to 6 months in total...
If you're in a country where covered by appropriate legislation, a Sale of Goods Act law will almost certainly a problem like this so soon after purchase, especially considering you're not at fault.
Check out if your country has such legislation which covers you, and if so ask for a replacement under that legislation. If not, eh... ask politely?

Forgive my ignorance as I have only had Samsung phones the past few years but, shouldn't you just be able to flash back to stock and unroot? I wouldn't think it would be too difficult. However, as I said, I have only had experience with Samsung phones for a while.

The bootloader is nlocked through HTCDev so they have the IMEI. Also when you relock it says 'relocked' instead of 'locked' (exactly like when you mess with pc odin and you flash back to a samsung rom it says 'official' but the flash counter isn't reset). To be able to get back a 'locked' status (so the equivalent of triangle away on samsung devices) you need s-off.

Unlocking doesn't void the warranty more than likely. At least here in the U.S they don't care

Magic isn't allowed on XDA.
I'm gonna report on this tomorrow... I got a couple of pops in my speaker when playing YouTube videos on the lowest volume at first. For some reason when I played music at full volume there were no problems but as soon as I put the volume lower and played a YouTube video every know and then i would get a pop sound.

I just took then phone back to a Phones4U shop and they replaced it there and then. It would seem if the phone develops a fault within 28 days of purchase you can take it back to the retailer instead of HTC. Most retailers wouldn't have a clue if you have unlocked the bootloader and flashed custom Roms so it didnt matter.
As I couldnt find the correct RUU I just took it into the shop with TrickDroid's Rom still installed and they didn't question it at all!! :laugh:

Hi there, do you have the youtube link for the crack sound? I want to try with my New One estimate to arrive tomorrow.
After further investigation, the sound problem only shows up when certain videos are played (hi-def MKVs I think). Sound is fine otherwise, so I think it is a software issue. Can anyone else try THOR on HTC Watch, at the beginning of the film, when it should be silent, do you hear the speakers crackle even at low volumes?
On my replacement handset the bottom speaker has totally gone. No sound coming through it at all. Back to Phones4U :crying:

Hi guys, I know this has been thousands of times, but if our device doesn't allow boot loader unlock (for example mine is on EE) is there any hope what so ever of a way around this? I'm pretty sure someone is going to say something along the lines of "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE STOP ASKING IT CAN'T BE DONE" - if that's the case, would you care to explain why?
Thanks
Well the answer is not at the moment don't know if anyone is working on it... and from what I saw so far in order to hack it you need to use the test point method but in order to do so you need to open your phone...now are u going to take that risk because I won't haha

I agree. I even rang EE and asked them. They and no clue what I meant. Sad really.
I wonder if you got a letter from EE stating that they allow you to unlock your bootloader and then ask Sony to make your bootloader unlockable will that work lol....I know it will take time and maybe u will waste your time but if you really want to unlock your bootloader is worth a shot haha
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
At least here in Spain, you can unlock your bootloader if you first pay for the simcode unlock to use the phone with any carrier. Then you can email Sony with this information, asking them to leave your phone in the same condition (bootloader unlockable) as any "unlocked sim" phone (I don't know the correct word, sorry)
Then Sony will take your phone as if it was going to be repaired and after a few days you'll get your phone back.
I know this is possible in Spain but I don't know about other countries; maybe it depends on each law system.

Hmmm. Even so. I think i'll be getting on the new HTC One band wagon when it comes around. I want to like the Z1, but the software is, at least in my opinion, nothing less that horrible. Also the glass front and rear is a disaster if you're a mechanic.

If you are mechanic then the HTC One will be scratched forever with the plastic one. I think on Glass you can use some degreasing.

You might not be aware, but OEM support ends within a year of a phone's release.
OEM support has an impact, as everyone here in the LG 4X forum knows, on the release of custom roms aswell.
maybe samsung does a different policy then LG, Sony, HTC but then, this is an issue for something else.
I must join in on the farewell train, too. It's been a good year with 4X, but I got a chance to try something new and I took it. Otherwise, who is to say when one would present itself again.
It was not an easy task to replace P880s hardware for equal price, not easy at all, but I eventually settled on a Sony Xperia SP. I turned a blind eye on some specs and welcomed others.
I hope I gave a tiny bit of contribution to 4X community while I was here. I expect to see you again in other parts of the XDA.

Hello all,
It was really happy year with this LG device. I will place it into drawer for flashing so I may visit here in future.
Next Tuesday I will start using ascend P7.
Biggest thanks to laufer, demetris and adam. At least I think they did the most of work. If I am wrong then also thanks to others who put much efforts to this device. I will miss such great support on the new device I am sure.
Hello all,
since the new Mi5S was launched, several places dropped the price on the Mi5.
What would be your recommendation - where is the best place to get it now? (I am in Canada, would go for the 64GB version and would need DHL shipping).
Thank you for any recommendations!

They have a Priority Line for certain countries. I'm from Portugal.
I think the package will come to England and then to Spain, that way enters the EU, so there's no taxes involved.
I saw someone selling it for €208, (the 64GB version) on Amazon.de, but the day after the price was €370 so it was probably an error.
Its on sale at gearbest, 64gb version for 305€, no additional taxes/customs fees. Will hopefully reach me in 5-10 days.
Bought mine on vopmart .
No problems whatsoever,no taxes for EU.

When you have ADB and usb driver installed its not that hard using fastboot.
Like the man said there are several threads at en.miui.com how to.
If you like there are also variants that have multilanguage's at https://xiaomi.eu/community/
For that to work you need to unlock the bootloader if im right...

My phone arrived today (11 days from china to germany, not bad actually), and it really did contain a strange non-official global MIUI version.
Most tutorials suggest flashing a MIUI dev version in order to unlock the bootloader, but this did not work with this modified MIUI. That got me worried, actually.
However, after spending a few hours with it, I found that booting into EDL mode and using MiFlash with a fastboot-version of the latest official dev MIUI version did work (afaik the only variant that works with a locked bootloader). This probably won't work in the future, I heard that newer roms do not allow the EDL mode any more ... maybe in the future you need to use a special usb cable ("deep flash").
My brand new MI5 is now cleaned off that gearbest crap, and is running an official global dev rom. I am now waiting for my unlock confirmation.

I wrote a not-so-good review on the mi5 on gearbest, stating that I didn't like the modified rom on my shiny new sealed phone.
They came back to me and offered a full refund if I wanted to send it back, or gearbest store credit. I took the credit, since my MI5 is happily running CM 13. I though about sending it back and ordering a MI5S for a moment ... instead I just flashed the new falcon kernel and OCed it to 2.5 GHz myself, the effect is pretty much the same
In general I completely agree with you, gearbest should at least give customers the choice:
Send out modified phones for the lazy western customer with a play store ready to go and clearly state this on the webpage, or keep them untouched as one would expect it to be (what xiaomi is actually going for by locking the bootloader in the first place).

I'm surprised they offered you something. I was looking at other places to buy Xiaomi devices when I was looking to buy my Redmi Note 3. Vickmall.com seems pretty decent. They actually have an option to select what ROM you want, which looks pretty cool.
I would have kept the Mi5 too. You do have more options for ROMs and will get better support.
