Today I upgraded OS to 4.1.2 with V20C(Turkey) firmware but when I shutdown the phone and then Start it passes LG logo screen and then goes to lockup screen and then goes again to LG Logo loading screen and then lockup screen... this happens 3 times then it works, another thing I notice that the phone is more hot than having V10D without having any app running.... and memory usage is more than Android 4.0.3
do i have to downgrade to V20A?

When upgrading from ICS to JB a "hard reset" is required.
Do it and see if it solves the problem!!!

when you say a hard reset is reseting OS from factory? I reset 4.1.2 from factory and it doesnt keep restarting but temperature is a little high when copying files from SD to internal memory and also in gaming
Yes, by "hard reset" i meant factory reset.
This phone heats up a lot (like almost all powerfull smartphones), mainly when playing games, but that´s normal and you should´t worry about it.

I saw somewhere in changelog files of V20A that it reduced temperature I installed this mainly for having updated the phone with lastest official ROM and reducing temperature/drain of battery
Would I have to do something special before downgrading to V20A?
thansk for the answer

Regarding the downgrade to V20A, I don´t know what you need to do, so you should wait for a reply from other user or ask in another thread.
Despite that, regardless the rom you use, the phone will heat up lot, but as i said before that´s kind of normal in any top smarthphone these days, mainly if you are a heavy user!!!
Some custom Roms claim to reduce the battery drain, so you could try some of them, shearching in the Android development threads.
If you have root, you can use greenify to "frezze" some battery draining Apps.
One thing that saved me a lot of battery (specially while in standby) was changing the stock LG launcher with the Nova Launcher.

Hi Guys,
I had a reboot loop problem in my X8 after installing Viber from a Wifi connection and decided to mod it. I successfully unlocked the boot loader & rooted my Xperia X8. Flashed it with CM7 RC1 V4. I rebooted the phone to see the Cyanogen Mod screen with the skate board and it proceeded to ask me a question about the setup wizard or market option, I made a selection and the phone went dead. It rebooted and started hanging on the SE logo. I thought it was due to Baseband 15 and flashed it but no luck.
I have Clockwork Mod on it and can randomly enter it also. I would appreciate any help and pointers, is this an issue due to using the wifi and is the hardware at fault. Once the boot loop starts the battery drains pretty fast I can see the Cyanogen battery status icon and try to wait for it to charge completely
Many thanks & regards

* Did you factory reset it from CWM before installing the ROM? Boot loops are common when one doesn't, particularly if you're coming from another ROM (from what you say, I guess you're coming from stock 2.1)
* It seems that you flashed baseband 015 AFTER flashing the new ROM. AFAIK it should be done BEFORE flashing a new ROM, while still on stock 2.1. If that's the case, you'd have to go back to 2.1 using SEUS (or Flashtool; there are stock ROM images here on XDA), THEN flash baseband 015, THEN root, THEN flash CM7 again.
---
As a side note, you unlocked your bootloader but didn't install a new kernel, which is what one normally unlocks the bootloader for. Unlocking the bootloader isn't needed to flash a ROM as long as it works with the stock kernel (most don't, but yours should.)
Mod issue or battery or hardware fault

Many thnks for the reply mate, what you said is right. I might have missed a few things. But I reflashed Baseband 15 yesterday before your reply to my post and now it seems to be booting into cyanogen mod happily but each time it takes only a few seconds and through a few setup screens before it reboots again.This is exactly what was happening even on the stock ROM before doing any Mod procedure and the battery gets drained too. Could this be a hardware fault.

i didnt get it, when on setup screen you mean when it tells to add your email.....and when you are finished it reboots?!
if i understood well,there is no hardware problem, go to cwm, full wipe-factory reset,advanced>wipe dalvik, reinstall your rom(install custom zip) and it should work:fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the reply stamatis, basically its just shutting down because there is no battery left to power it, it seems. At times it reaches upto the setup wizard (shown when booting for the first time), the next time it could go up to adding a gmail account or language selection screen. I have even seen it load the home screen before it shuts off. This all started happening after downloading some apps from a wifi connection. I have done that before wiping and re installing but will try again. My presumption is that since it was happening on stock ROM and now on CM7 too then it's probably a hardware issue

ok i see now,your problem is battery drain,
is it that extream? i mean, you charge to full and when you open it up it shut down by low battery?
have you try to opening while charging?is it the same?
are you sure its charging?
that way too xtream to be software problem so its more likely that its hardware...

yes you got it right. I do charge it fully and when it boots the CM7 UI for a few seconds the battery goes down half or even less or nearly empty. I have tried opening it while charging and thats when the above happens, yes I can see the Cyanogen charging icon. So you think its a hardware issue and I should not pursue it further

with paranoid android, please use Cpu Adjuster oder Performance Control only, all the other tools don't work with this awesome kernel from pengus.
and update to build 10, it rocks!
governor should stay on interactive, to apply voltage settings, create a profile "default profile", the rest explains on its own

i bought a new battery today. Still same problem.
Hello guys,
I`m from Brazil and was on UK 10H for weeks, maybe months with no problem. One day trying to increase my battery life I disabled all the safe list found on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018587&page=4
From that day forth I started to get phone freezes everyday for no apparent reason, so I did a factory data reset, flashed to official Brazilian V20a through LG Mobile support tool. Re-rooted, factory reset again and the problem is still here!! ::crying: Now on JB it seems like it usually freezes after unlocking the first screen, but sometimes randomly using any app.
I made a video with it today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4IPNb8mNC8&feature=youtu.be
At first when you unlock, the screen looks right, but when you try to click anything it doesn`t respond. After a while it says: "home has stopped working" I click to close it and I get exactly what you see on the video. Looks like the lock screen clock continues to work, but the "inside clock" doesn't.
Do you have any ideia what I could do?? Currently using superuser. Pleease help!
Thanks :highfive:

There will be other opinions, choose the best for you...
My advice is, re-flash your phone using LGFlash Tool.
Root it, install SuperSU and install it in system (Superuser will be uninstalled and all related files).
Install Busybox if you'll need it, for Lucky Patcher etc...
After that, proceed with uninstall/freeze un-wanted/ no needed apps.
Clean Dalvik-cache and it should be all.
Already tried to install another launcher? I think it is launcher related

Hello i have found some guides that explain how to deal with this but i could not solve the problem
1st) I cant find 0byte files on my internal sd
2nd) there is no way that i factory reset the phone
3rd) the app that used to work like magic on 4.3 now wont work (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot)
4th) An app that i found in a post caused some problems (like phone locking up and having to reset the phone so i can unlock it)
I attached some photos of my battery drain so you can get an image of the problem
(it may not seem as a drain but when i used the "Rescan Media ROOT" app on 4.1.2 i used to get a MUCH greater battery life.

All day long.I use poweramp but i think the principal is the same.
Also i found out that the total wipe of my internal SD i did earlier did not help at all.
But using BetterBatteryStats i found that:
AudioMix has been running for 2 hours and 3 minutes in total. (partial wakelock)
PowerManagerService.Wakelocks has been running for 2 hours total (kernel wakelock)
Whats all this stuff ?Are these 2 system related ? and last but not least can i stop them from running ?
Well playing music drains the battery pretty quick. This is also due to mediaservice.. We cant do a thing about it.

Turn off all syncing activities and also use odexed roms because the deodexed roms have this issues usually, random battery drain amd such. Kernel might also be the problem so you can try that.

I'm using mi3 with Euphoria-OS 0509 version. My phone will suddenly shutdown itself even the battery is full.
I tried re-flash this ROM, but no help.
It happens every time when I use the phone in no time. But It won't happen when charging.
Maybe there's a problem on your phone's battery. Try to bring it on a service center.

What do you mean by "suddenly shutdown itself"?
Do you see 1) the closing down routine? Or 2) does the phone simply not respond to pressing the power button?
If it's 2), plenty of ROMs exhibit the "screen OFF death", where the phone is actually still active but you can't get the screen to light up. try flashing another ROM. Paranoid Android is the most stable ROM for me.
If it's 1), still try flashing another ROM, and it it is still closing down, it's a hardware issue (hopefully battery), so service centre time.

In my case, my phone's screen will suddenly frozen while I'm using, and turn off itself. I need to hard reboot the phone. I used flashed this rom few months ago and change to PAC rom, no such problem until I flash this rom again, all roms were clean flash and the battery was calibrated. So I think it might be the hardware problem.

Well, if the phone was OK with a different ROM, that implies your current ROM is the problem - try another one.
I recall having had the same behaviour in the past, when I was trying a lot of ROMs in quick succession - so I don't know which one(s) it was.
All the same, it doesn't sound like hardware/battery. Make a Nandroid backup in recovery, then flash eg PAC ROM or Paranoid Android - wait a day before adding all your apps etc - and see if you get that issue again.

OK, I got some conclusions, and it might be a hardware problem.
First, I replaced the battery with same ROM, it still got SOD.
Then I flash Omni, PAC, Euphoria-OS, all got SOD like before.
So I return to MIUI, no SOD, but I got random reboots and sometimes Wi-Fi will disconnect itself even in its range.
Now I'm using Ivan's AOSP, still got random reboots and Wi-Fi problem.
And now I need this phone to work because I don't have a backup, waiting for new Nexus!!
