Just bought a P500 with stock 2.2. A couple of hours after using it it started to restart itself every few hours. From what i understood reading other topics 2.2.1 sorted it which brings me to my other problem.
When i first connected it to wireless network it said that an update is available and i had to connect it to the usb to apply it. LG website said that theres an update for P500 too. Installed the update tool but it keeps saying my phone is up to date and so does the LG Suite.Havent had the chance to connect it to wireless again after that so not sure if it still will say that.
Software ver: V10a-OCT-01-2010
Any help for either of these problems will be appreciated.
Thanks
Can anyone help please?
LG support answer : Mobile Phone Support: The P500 is one of our more recent releases, and as such is on the most recent available software; 2.2 Froyo. Currently there is no further update available, hence the Support Tools given information.
The updates are based on the region and service provided you are with. So it is best to contact them with questions regarding the latest updates. Not all of them will have the latest firmware.
What about the restarting problem?
Dud as I said in another thread , everybody has his own UNIQUE P500 . You could try to manually flash the newest firmware with kdz . The new fmw was posted in xda a few days ago .
But I suggest you go to warranty with your phone . I don't think the restart problem will be sorted out if you try the newest firmware.
Restarting problem will be hard to determine... there are numerous possibilities which could cause it:
1. Some of the apps you have installed may have compatibility issues with p500, hence resulting in constant reboot when it encounters an error
2. Not very unlikely, but a physical fault to the mainboard may also cause it to restart every few hours
I do not believe that every p500 is unique, since they're manufactured in batches, resulting in certain batch having characteristics which may be unique, but should not have such a strong impact on the user such as in this circumstance.
What I trully meant AzN and I wanted to hold it under SPECIAL as to not be rude , was that quality control in the P500 is rather mediocre.
I just noticed restart happened when SD unmounted and mounted itself for some reason. Would it be the SD clip problem or a software problem or the SD itself?

It has been reported that the problem is due to the low class of the stock sd card. Other users have confirmed that using an sd card with class 4 or class 6 will fix the issue.
I don't know bro I have a class 6 , 8 gig card and with a2sd I get some bugs from time to time . Now I am just using void without a2sd and it's grand . Haven't had any bugs for 1 week now.
a SD card class 4 solved it damn you cheap ass LG

I haven't upgraded from the stock rom yet, but I'm considering it because it seems like I have a firmware problem. I got this phone new off of ebay a few months ago. At least every other day, the phone keeps saying "SD card unexpectedly removed, please insert a new one". It happens when I haven't changed card. I don't even have to touch the phone and I'll see the screen come on and say "sd card unexpectedly removed..." I have googled and I saw others experiencing the same problem. This is one thing that is keeping me from upgrading to a different ROM. I'm worried that if I change roms, maybe the internal problem with manifest during the procedure and brick my phone. Is this a concern that I should have? Or should I proceed with changing ROM's?
My other question is if someone else with this same phone has experienced this problem before, and did the problem go away when the ROM was changed?
Yeah, I just picked up one of these off ebay, and... the pins on the SD card slot are pretty bad, I dunno if that helps exactly but maybe something to check for...
Well I had the same problem.
. I rooted my phone didn't happened again .. but 90% of the time when I rebooted it didn't read any of my apps. Every time .. I got. Rom. Manger .. got clock work recovery and did a backup of my rom .. than I flashed mik cm7 .. never had those problems again ... and didn't. Have the problem were my phone restarted on it's on ...
From My LG Optimus P509 CM7
oh yeah, my phone restarts on it's own too. I forgot to mention, I assumed it could have been a bad connection leading the phone to not read the SD card, then read it, then not read it. It has a cheap looking lock-down mechanism that doesn't look like it would let the phone read the SD card all the time. So I cut a little piece of paper the size of the SD card and stuck it between the lock-down latch door and the card, it didn't fix a thing. So I ruled out a bad connection.
So blackrose, you had the same probs I have now and yours is fixed? I'll look up the mik cm7 rom and install that, are there different versions of the mik cm7 rom? If so, which did you choose?
Check the firmware version on your phone. Older firmwares had that issue, but I believe they were resolved in V10L and newer revisions.
You can go to LG's website and get the download link for the newest f/w version for your phone by putting your IMEI at the end of the address:
csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=INSERT IMEI HERE
You have to use KDZ updater to flash it.
!! disable LG modem in computer device manager !!
make sure you have msxml installed
set type to 3GQCT
set PhoneMode to DIAG
Select the downloaded firmware file
sit back and WAIT..
Ours the stock rom side I have the same phone from tmobile optimus t and have had the same problem with three of these phones (sold to friends over seas thats why so many) I suggest install custom recovery and rom as soon as possible it makes a huge difference in performance and fixes that pRoblem let me if know if you need help you can even pm me

I run linux on my laptop, I used to have my laptop dual booted when I had my hd2 so I could change out my roms but then I sold my hd2, had no use for windows so I deleted the partition. is there a linux version of the updater i need? or can i install the kdz updater through wine? does kdz updater run solid enough in wine so I don't have to worry about bricking it? I'm going to sell this phone for whatever I can get for it on ebay and I want it functional. I'm picking up another hd2 tomorrow for a great price.

i just tried going to the lg webpage you mentioned and I got a weird error. My IMEI is 012408001118364, and it says IMEI SV is 03. this is the exact link that I typed in my browser, I copied it and posted it here when it didn't work.

my phone has gotten worse in the last couple weeks. has anyone tried to see if it's just a faulty SD card? the problem has to do with the sd card, the phone says it's removed when it wasn't. I have an old 2 gig one somewhere that I'll put in it and see what happens. also my version is V10L
what do I need to put a different rom on my optimus t? and would it be running off of the SD card like I had to do with the HD2 or can it just run off of the internal memory?
my phone works perfectly now. I checked for updates and I have the latest update already installed on it, it's what came on it, V10L. So I deleted some apps off of the phone to clear up space. I grabbed a different 2gig SD card, formatted it with the phone, transferred all of my old stuff from it off of the other card that was in it and put it in the phone. Now I have had it running flawlessly for over a week. I don't know if it was the samsung SD card that was in it that was faulty, or if it was doing that because there were too many apps on it. I know some SD cards are junk, I don't know about samsung, the one I put in it is older but it is a kingston. I didn't have to root it or anything. But I still want to so I can delete some of this crap thats on it from when I got it.
So since this phone is linux based, how do I get to the terminal so I can su root or sudo. And what is the root password? I want to control this thing!
So maybe the problem was that I had too little space left on it, or maybe the problem was that the SD card is junk.
I had posted this issue earlier @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145417 but since nobody came up with a satisfactory solution..I am reposting this issue here with a few changes.
Edit : I purchased my optimus one on 17 June. It came with stock firmware V10d (2.2.2). My problem is ...on launching the ndrive app, the place where i am supposed to select my preferred map (india,in my case) it loads for a few seconds and a prompt comes up saying 'This device isn't authorized to make this operation' . Recently I also found out this issue arose with one of my friends who purchased an optimus one after me. both of us had similar firmware. Thinking it might be a firmware issue ..(& on recommendation of some ppl in my earlier thread) I reverted back to original stock 2.2 (v10b) and 2.2.1(v10c) & even a custom rom (devoid froyo on which I manually installed ndrive,only in custom rom) but it didn't help me. Same prompt arises there too. On taking it to LG service centre they are clueless completely. Ndrive Support through email says ur device imei is registered with us but we don't know why r u facing such an issue:confused. LG customer care over phone says use some other navigation software now and wait for gingerbread update..it might solve this. But now reading all the bugs that r coming out in LG gingerbread. I think I won't be upgrading. Currently I am on v10e (latest firmware update) . I hav tried everything out there like factory resetting, firmware reflashing, update ndrive from android market but nothing worked. I used Ndrive app on my previous phone GT540 and loved it. Therefore I want it here too. So Indian Optimus owners ..pls help me out !!
I think the IND_NT.map is corrupt that why you are not able to activate. I think someone uploaded the indian maps file (IND_NT.map) here. Try that.
What I usually do, is flash roms, and install ndrive from market. Open ndrive and the maps are activated without any fuss.

I am starting a new thread here since I did not got any mention of the problem that I am facing right now. Please help.
My device was on stock 2.2.2 ROM until I upgraded it to the 407 ROM sometime back. It was working smoothly till yesterday before I tried to root it. After installing the streakmod, I booted the device in recovery mode to apply the update of superuser.zip. However, though I am able to see superuser icon in my menu still Busy box Installer tells me that the root user rights cann't be acquired.
This was just the tip of the problem.
Now when I restarted my device, the Dell logo is coming up. However after sometime, a message is getting flashed saying that
"File system check returned status 2048. ( I dont remember exactly what file was mentioned but it was pointing to system directory. ) Please send this unit to the software development for debugging. Formatting your device".
After that I again flashed the 407 recovery and the respective package in the device. However, the problem still persists and the same message appears after 2-3 reboots. Even the stock browser is throwing up an exception and Wifi option says Error beneath it.
Before I flashed the stock 2.2.2 ROM, I had the following config for the phone -
Android version - 2.2.2
Baseband version - GAUSB1A134700-US
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9-perf
OEM Version -GAUSB1A134700
Build number - 15274
Please help. I am very much in love with this device and dont want to switch to some other phone.
Sounds like it coukd be your internal sd ard has gone bad, i was also getting the same message and my device formatting so i swapped it for a 2gb sdhc its been fine ever since

Hi andy,
Thanks for the information. But I believe that the internal SD card is not user replacable. Is it?? How much effort it required on your end ?
Yes mate it is replaceable, theres two ways to get T it, 1 is to remove the lcd from the phone second is to cut away the plastic inside the phone battery bay to get at it, i chose to open mine as i didnt wanna start cuttin plastic, it is really easy to do you can replace it with upto a 4gb, anything higher and you have to edit files etc, i put in a 2gb sdhc been fine ever since, plus the phone will automatically format for you,

Cutting the plastic is an easy job and only takes a few minutes. The upside to this method is that it the inner SD card is accessible and it only has to done once. If you have any warranty left you void that. You could even remove it and make a backuo image periodically.
I replaced mine with an 8GB, class 10 card and the phone formatted it for me. There is more info here and here.
The system files are needed if you want to use the space for other than what the system uses it for. More info on using the internal SD for other purposes here and here. In my case I ended up with over 6 GB of system space to install apps. I can keep all of my apps on the inner SD Card.
Aah thanks for that marvin, i didnt realise that, now i know that im gonna upgrade mine

I had lots of problems with mine to i think it`s the 347 base band i read every post and downloaded DSC and it works great read all there post there is a guide to follow you will have 407 running in no time REMEMBER TO READ
One thought here for the OP: why not upgrade to 360 first before trying to upgrade to 407? That might solve your issues. I can't verify whether it would work or not, since I never used the official ROM to upgrade. I upgraded the baseband the hard way and use a custom ROM.
I don't remember how off hand, but isn't there a simple procedure to test your SD card first to see if that is in fact the problem?

It's been posted many times. Info in this link.
My internal was gone bad too and crashed 4 times in 2 months. after functioning very well for the first 2 months. It appeared a read write block error on the internal SD repeating the error 4 times proved the defect.
I replaced mine without real trouble with a 8 Gb SD class 10.
just removed the old one and replaced with the new one.
mind you i tried several cards and not all were installed properly.
Now i have a huge 6 Gb for my apps and no need for App2SD or Link2SD anymore. can swap any external SD without problems for any apps that way. everything is now installed internal including maps of 6 countries for europe.
On youtube you'll find a lot of movies how to dis assemble and reassemble the Dell Streak 5.
Grts
Ted.
Please correct me if I am wrong. All the applications get installed to the internal memory by default. I don't face issues when I keep them that way. When I acutally try to move the apps to SD, sometimes the move does not happens on first attempt. Sometimes it does. I think that's where the problem lies. Is it possible that due to a corrupt external card, the streak is getting checksum error and formatted on restart?
That.s a good guess if you can repeat it afew times it has some bad blocks when software is bad removing and installing wil not solve that. It only took me as many as 4 times to be certen about it.
No genius needed for that.
I had 230+ aps installed and som other data I always wanted to have so internal is my choice. General I used 2.5 Gb .

The dev can set it up so that the app is installed to the SD card. Few apps do this, but not every app defaults to internal storage.

Alright !!
In the mean time my internal SD contains 333 aps now including 7 country map data of europe stored. My external is free for any use. Very cool when mounted by PC and no broken apps.
This streak is so cool now and despite the fact that it is an older device it still can compete very well.
The only disadvantidge is the longer boot and long refreshing the app list in the app drawer after first boot and backup apps.
Just my 2ct

UPDATE: i have been using he card now for some time but experience some systeem freezes, nog fatal but for a few sec andere up. I am ging to install he Same brand 4Gb card class 10 and that should be more than sufficient for my needs. Internal up to 16 GB is not an option i guess. IT would be even worse i guess.
Hi,
I have the BCOKAS prime model, a WW model, purchased from Australia.
Currently at Thailand and have been for the past 2 Weeks and I'm struggling to update to the OTA which was released a week+ ago!
Currently on the .11 version.
When I update, this is what happens....
Any kind of tips or help would be great.

Are you experiencing the same issue too?
yes anytime i try to update or any method of installing cwm gives me the same picture although i am on .13
Search works really well when you have issues
I have to say If I had a dollar for every time I see update issues like these I would be RICH!!!!! Use the XDA search feature. Its a new technology that allows you to pull data from many other users that have had these type of issues.
OK RANT OVER.
Here is cause #1 (maybe not for all of you) but for 90% of the users that have seen this issue this will happen when you root your device and change any system files, uninstall asus apps and so forth.
Cause #2: You unlocked your bootloader
To Resolve Cause #1: Restore you system files and apps that were changed or removed.
1. For users that backed them up just restore them
2. For users that deleted its a little more difficult:
- Goto Asus's website and download the same version upgrade file that you are running.
- Put the file on your micro SD card (unzipped of course)
- Reboot your device
- Update (if on the root of your SD card correctly) will be detected.
- Let it run and reboot.
- Once done you will be restored and can take further OTA updates.
To Resolve Cause #2: Wait for developers to create roms with the current update.
hello,
I am using third p780 and I have similar problem in each one. As that last one comes from trusted source I would need to check it.
I am using AOSP fw now and I havent done any changes/restores/resets from the last year when I have configured phone. But in last time I see that I cant install more than 10-15 little apps,
from the bigger ones I have found gmail, chrome and I would like to install more than few little apps (<50MB).
Is there any possibility to check the andoid flash for 'bad sectors' ? I have heard long time ago that when I need to uninstall apps to install new ones that could be a syndrome of getting flash failures. My main storage was set to SDcard which is sandisk extreme 32gb microsd card - but I have seen that apps was installed to phone storage by default. I am pretty sure that the sd card is healthy.
How can I check that(phone storrage) ? Maybe in ADB mode? Maybe there is any app for that?

Hi.
I have not found any software to do what you want.
Maybe sp flash tool can do that.
But... i have changed my P780 because of this space problem.
Try one MIUI, Older MIUI and see if in that firmware you can install more then 15 apps.
I do not think this is some hardware problem. In my opinion the small storage chipset is the problem.
Good Luck.
