using latest version of alpha and earlier the screen just became unresponsive. buttons work, but holding power does nothing. anyway to hard reboot? or do i have to wait for the battery to run out?..
Hold power and home key down until it rebooted. Takes 20-30 seconds. Try to post questions in general please. This is s developement section.
Thanks.

this is happening to me on a regular basis and i have to force it to restart alot. the alpha 3 changelog says it fixed this problem, not for me.

Alright, I just bought my Dad a tab 10.1 yesturday since I found a really good deal on one. My problem is that when the tab freezes the only way to get it working is to hold the power button (about 10 seconds) from what I understand is that it should soft reset the device, but in our case it's being completely reset to factory settings. So is there another way to restart the tab? (On my Xoom it's Power and Vol Up) and is there anyone else having this issue? (pretty much, is this normal behavour?)
Now I'm not afraid to root and do all the goodness that is out there as I have done that on my Xoom and my Nexus One both of which were rooted within hours of recieving them, but since this is my Dads I would prefer not to.
The Tab is running 3.1, Kernal is 2.6.36.3 and the build is HMJ37.XXKG6 P7510XXKG6
Thanks for any insights
In order to reboot it, shut it down by holding the power button for 2 seconds until it shows the pop up menu - choose Power Off. When it is off, press the power button for 2 seconds again and it will start up.
baha that's a good one. As if I didn't try that already. The issue is that it was completely unresponsive to everything except a forced reboot. Too late regardless, it was returned yesturday.
For some reason I can't shut my touchpad down. If I hold the power button down, not much happens until I release the button. Then the screen turns off. Tap it again and it's back.
Any ideas?
thats strange try a hard reset, hold the power button and the home button down for literally a minute or so or until it resets. it will reboot into moboot hopefully. you might have to do that and go back into webos to completely shut down. good luck
Thanks for the reply, I was just trying it when the battery ran out!
But I'll give it a go if the problem returns, thanks.
Ran into the same problem today. The power menu, along with various power/reboot widgets wouldn't work, but after about 20 seconds of holding home+power it worked and booted to moboot.
I had this happen to a coworker, after I had recently upgraded her to alpha3. I tried everything to repair it before deciding to start from scratch. The best thing to do is restart using the power and home buttons (hold them until reboot).
Then think about reinstalling.
Good luck!

I had this same issue today. I downloaded Quick Boot from the app store and it allowed me to restart. Worked great
just happened me too, it MAY have something to do with low battery, i noticed someone above had the problem with low battery. mine happens to be low too
also, i turned off lockscreen earlier, maybe that was related.
As per title, my home button now takes 2 clicks before it takes you to the home screen. After it's pressed twice, it will work normally by only needing to be pressed once to return you to the homescreen for a while, but eventually it goes back to needing 2 presses. I'm not sure if it's a physical fault or as a result of flashing the latest firmware a couple of weeks ago.

Try flashing the rom again... Sometimes it works for me
Save ur hard buttons w/ navigation bar like in aokp rom or cm10. Use slide2wake feature in myfluxi or dorimanx kernel to save ur home button to wake phone from deepsleep.

Was stuck in a boot loop for about 20min figured out this is how to boot to twrp. Done it again from power off just to make sure it wasn't a fluke for me at least.
Hold all 3 buttons till phone is off
Then wait acouple sec and push volume down button and then the power button hold both till phone boots keep holding threw first lg symbol till it boots a second time then release both buttons and press power button.

I thought this was common knowledge already. The info. has been out for quite a while now.
When your phone is bootlooping, all you have to do is hold the power button down until your phone powers off, then:
How to boot into recovery mode
Volume down & Power, when the LG logo appears release and press them again, then press the Power button three times!
That's from the cyanogen mod G2 info. pages: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/D802_Info
My bad feel free to delete thread. I couldn't find out how to when I searched Google earlier.

How about I just close it then move it to the general section.
It may help others with their search.
I am running the latest stock build and my phone will randomly reboot itself.
The bottom buttons flash as if I'm holding down on the power button.
I am unsure if this correlates with my sim card errors either, but tis quite annoying.
I tried to press home button last time this happened, and got a screenshot reading:
"TO RESTART YOUR PHONE, CONTINUE TO PRESS AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON FOR 2 SECONDS"
So I'm wondering if anyone with a otterbox case is experiencing this too.
I even went as far as to take the top of the case off, and the countdown timer paused at 1 for a few seconds and proceeded to restart anyway

Saw this a couple times. In both cases it turned out to be a hardware problem, bad power switch.
That's what it sound like to me too.
