I think I've reduced my reboots/screen-off crash

I'm sure I will still have reboots/issues like others because LG obviously knows of a bug in the phone BUT...in the meantime it appears I've reduced the reboots by uninstalling one bloody app.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidapps.widget.battery

I didn't use the widget but just the notification icon that shows battery %. I know this definitely has to have something to do with my earlier issues because prior to this I was getting freezes (screen is off and won't turn on without battery pull) and reboots quite frequently.

Since I uninstalled this junk, I've used the phone heavily and so far *KNOCK ON WOOD* it appears to be more stable.

Right now I'm sitting at 18h of uptime. Like I said, if I can get 4-5 days of uptime before a reboot I can live with it until a fix. But I can't have the thing reboot/freeze on me multiple times a day - that's not acceptable.

24 hr of uptime so far since I removed that battery crap. Let's hope it can keep this up for a few days at a time!

Maybe I missed it in your post but what app are you referring to?

In your post it says you uninstalled one app, didn't realize you mean to say "install" one app

No no...I did. I UNinstalled the Battery Status - Donate. That was causing problems on my phone. Not sure where the confusion is. I linked it so people can see the exact app.

Just rebooted while sitting idle on desk with wifi on and wifi calling enabled. So after 25 hours which is not bad. Better than before. The hunt goes on.

That app does not come stock on the phone so I think we are wondering why you are telling us to uninstall something that none of us previously started with... uninstalling an app that is not even on my phone will not fix any reboot problems i might have lol

not that i have had any reboot problems anyway...

back light bleeding

ur back light bleeding is not an issue its something for u to ***** about. if u don't like it take it back or turn down the brightness. its not that bad unless u text in the dark with ur nose to screen which in that case you are a douche bag. sorry to be so harsh but u could have looked at a demo model before buying and *****ing it gets old. do ur research it is still a better screen than the samold line other than the deep blacks that they are very much ahead of the game in regards to that on the samold.
