Have you installed the latest version of flash (10.2) from the market?
[Acer Iconia A500] thiazzi:
I installed Flash 10.2 and can comfortably watch the desktop version of NHL Gamecenter Live :D
[Acer Iconia A500] butterflygirl:
Flash has been choppy for me on some anime sites.
[Acer Iconia A500] 00mred00:
no issues here......getting the market version is a must.....the included version was hit or miss

The GoSms app has a really cool way of switching activities.

You swipe to the left and right and it animates to the next activity in a carousel type effect.

How do they do this? I don't necessarily want the same animation, but how do I have my app switch activities by swiping left and right?

The galaxy s2 uses the broadcom BCM4330 chip which has an fm transmitter built into the chip. Does this mean it has an fm transmitter?

[Galaxy S II General] steve228uk:
I bloody hope so! I think this was similar with the Nexus One or the Desire but it was never used.

Perhaps one of the XDA devs will harbour something up when the source is released by Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] toori88:
Built in FM transmitter would be awesome, hope this is true.

;)
[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
i was excited abut milestone having a chip that had fm transmitter. forget about transmitting it never even received an fm signal. form previous experience i am not very optimistic.
[Galaxy S II General] Andy2.2:
would be amazing if this was true :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] simonk83:
It would, but I imagine they'd have communicated it if it was present. That's a pretty cool selling point.
[Galaxy S II General] ziggazee:
These chips have support for alot of features that the manufacturers dont utilise, unfortunately. since the S2 does have an fm reciever, hopefully it should just be a matter of tweaking it to transmit a signal? funny thing is the chip also supports Bluetooth 4.0, wonder if that means we'll be able to update to 4.0 once its officially released.
[Galaxy S II General] ziggazee:
Then again they don't even advertise the fact it supports hdmi out which is a bigger selling point, for me anyway. Even the phone shop assistant who sold me the phone said it doesn't have hdmi out.
[Galaxy S II General] sajadkhan806:
no it will never get activated just like the previous versions of samsung omnia hd
[Galaxy S II General] MoD85:
It will maybe never get activated by samsung, but what can we do about this?

Is there an possibility to activate the transmitter and what do we need for doing that?

Maybe if we find a phone with activated transmitter (same chip) and software it would be possible (but i dont know an android phone whit this speccs).

This feature would be making this phone perfect for me (because i use it a lot on my old nokia n85) and i am not the only one who would like this.
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
yeah would be pritty good but dont think its gana happen ... :/
[Galaxy S II General] HTC_Spree:
It depends on wiring of the hardware! If you have a chip which includes a transmitter than you have only one part of an working transmitter. The other part is a antenna connected to the chip and maybe an amplifier between them. If the "transmiter output" ins't connected to anything then there is no chance to use it...
[Galaxy S II General] audenprim:
I just have to ask... Can anyone confirm this? Or is there any news on this topic? It is very interesting for me!
[Galaxy S II General] jzmtl:
Probably not connected by samsung. I recall the hardware is also capable of more than the supported signal bands, but samsung chose to not use that feature.
[Galaxy S II General] Delux9364:
Ok guys, what's new about FM transmitter on our sgs2?

Please, can someone try to start developing something? :)
[Galaxy S II General] thunderroid:
Our s2 is getting smarter and better day by day

Send from my Samsung Galaxy S II
[Galaxy S II General] vcosmin:
a chip being capable of and the whole parts doing the stuff are 2 different things.

In the broadcomm's datasheet there are all the things that the chip is capable of doing it.

But, let put it this way: The chip is capable to use 3g network but in order to do it you need a 3g radio part in it.

The same with the fm transmitter. In order to use that feature you need a real fm transmitter in the phone, a radio transmitter, a piece, a device, a part, you get the point.

And i am afraid that our good old SGSII does not have a fm transmitter in it.
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
Wow nice to hear that chip has integrated built in fm transmitter.. Would love if anyone develops something to utilise that..

read the threads all the answers are easily available if you would just read. There is no reason to post this thread when every ROM thread gives you a step by step and other guides are available if you still have questions and this same question is answered every day. Its really irritating seeing the same thing brought up over and over because people are too lazy to read.

[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
Hello!

I'm gonna buy a new phone, but idk when. I think I'm gonna buy the LG O2X, though after reading all the problems with it, I'm not sure.

I have heard troubles like:

Shuts down and reboot randomly.

Shows wrong battery percent left.

WiFi stops to work when you turn it on after sleep.

I also heard about 2 people who had their LG out in the sun, when it was like 20-25 degrees and it started to reboot every 2 minute.

If the phone didn't have all these problems, I would definitely get it. But that's apparently not the case.

Damn, this is driving me crazy, I can't decide whether I should get it or not. Please help me.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
All the things you've listed are software, the first CM7 nightly is currently building. That said I've not had mine's been mostly fine. No wifi issues, only had odd battery behavior when trying new kernels. Have had a couple of overnight reboots, but not for about 5 days.
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
Thanks!

I know that the problems I listed is problems with the SW, and can be solved. But the problem about their phone did reboots every 2 minute when they had it outside in the sun. Is the problem I most worry about, since it doesn't sounds like problems with the SW.

I'm not gonna change ROM or something. Since I don't wanna loose my warranty.

And LG doesn't seems to solve problems that quickly, correct me if I'm wrong.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=997705, I read a few pages there, so many seems to have trouble with it. So I really don't know what I should do.
[LG Optimus 2x] bbyte:
Every 2 minutes? Weird lol. My o2x was right next to me while I was lying in the sun all the time during the easter holidays. No such probs here, actually none of the probs you mentioned. If you get one with constant freezing you can always get an exchange, you know :)
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
Sounds good. I guess you're right about exchanging. But I wanna save myself the trouble. :p
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Any software changes you make can be reversed easily enough for warranty purposes.
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
Alright, that's good. But having to change ROM, to get a good working phone doesn't seems right.

How is the phone at browsing? I've heard that the text isn't best on O2X.
[LG Optimus 2x] rori~:
correct :)

you can go stock and all is fine.- do not read all those reviews..about rebootings, lags..

I had stock for couple of days and it was very smooth, all fine, no lags, no reboots, then MoDaCo and even this was great.
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Sounds like your friends' phones could have errant processes running in the background and the extra heat from the sun could have pushed the phones into instability.

Ask them to install "Watchdog Task Manager Lite" to monitor the processes running on their phones. If they can track down which app processes are the culprits, they should try to delete or modify the app settings to quieten down their errant behaviours. This should help with the "every 2 mins in sun reboot" issue.
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
Sounds very good. Well, I've mostly read the problems on forums.

I read about this problem in a forum. But thanks for the "Watchdog Task Manager Lite" tip, I guess it could be handy when I get a android phone. If it will be LG O2X, we'll see.
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
If you are a non-hacker type person, and just want to use the phone straight out of the box, it might be prudent to avoid most, if not all, of the dual-core phones for now. I think the designers and programmers are still trying to iron out the kinks with the new dual-core phones. IMHO, a fast single-core Android phone might probably be a more fuss-free phone straight out of the box than dual-cores currently.
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
Well, I don't change phone that often, so I wanna have future proof phone that isn't too expensive. And I believe this is that phone.

I'm pretty sure I can root it and change rom. But... I'm too afraid I might mess it up.
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
In forums like these you will mostly read about the issues that some are having, because people tend to seek out these forums when they disover isues - the wast majority may not have any issues and dont post in forums like these. So regardless of which device you get, you will allways find alot of forum posts dealing with whatever bugs some users are facing. The number of issues and error posts for the LG isnt really that big, nothing out of the ordinary, and nothing you wont see just as many or more for ANY other device out there - single core or dual core.

Basically dont get scared off by these but only use it as a guide to perhaps seek for specific bugs which you would not be able to live with untill they get fixed by the manufacturer.

I have 2 LG optimus - one for myself and one for my teenager son

Both bought on the same day 6 weeks ago.

Mine has run completely stable and "errorfree" since day one - not a single random shutdown or lockup bsod - no issues with wifi, 3g or anything - has worked with every single app I tried, no batterydrain (easily get 2 days worth) etc. etc.

They are running completely stock with the only change being a different laucher (GO launcher) to solve the micro stutter in swyping between homescreens which the standard LG launcher has (just a very minor software issue).

The only issues I have left are 2 known issues - which for certain will be solved by some new LG update. One is the lag that happens while installing a new app from market - the other is the memory management which isnt completely optimised causing free memory to sometimes run a litle lower than wanted.

If you arent unlucky and get hit by the random shutdowns and bsod that some users are facing - then you do get a very nice future proof phone that isnt too expensive, and does most things pretty good allready - and will only get better as updates arrives

Imho, rooting and new roms arent really needed, allthough a nice possibility for those that like to tinker and tuning their devices as much as possible - but even without doing so, you will get a nice phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] n3n00:
I'm planning to get one too so I just started to visit O2X threads. Currently on Motorola Milestone, but I'm sick of it's low RAM. Every new game is force closing. I'll wait for it to get cheaper in my country :).
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
You're probably right. I've read alot of threads. It's so weird, some have many problems with the phone and some have not. I really don't wanna have problems with reboots and wifi.

I'm still not sure if I should get it or not. I don't really see any other future proof alternatives in the same price range. The SGS2 is too expensive.

This is definitely not easy, maybe I should wait and see if they fix all problems. But IDK which phone I should get instead.
[LG Optimus 2x] n3n00:
I've seen some reviews of SGS2 and it seems laggier than O2X. First I noticed that in Shrek Kart video (I've seen SGS2, than compared to O2X), after that it seemed that SGS2's launcher is laggy too -.-' ... maybe I just watched fake/bad reviews ^^.
[LG Optimus 2x] tadman2010:
Well i had phone for around 2 weeks and have not had any of the reboot issues as for batt draining if u ture of back ground data then this reduces it massivly, the handset is on of the best around. As for LG not doing update to solve problems i think that is unfair they do seem to be listerning with in a few days of me gettting hand set went from 10b to 10d. So i would say that if you want future proof device then this is the one and if you want game then its a no brainer
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
Okay, I haven't watch any review of that phone. Since it's too expensive.

Alright. I think I'll get the O2X then. Though, I'm not gonna get it before they fixed these problems.
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
I read in a review that the OS takes about 300 mb ram.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/07/lg-optimus-2x-review/

So I have about 200 mb free for my apps. That doesn't sound much, but maybe it's enough? Well, this is going to be my first smartphone, so I don't really know how much RAM app takes.
[LG Optimus 2x] rori~:
don´t worry about that :) this phone has more you need..
[LG Optimus 2x] n3n00:
That's weird because to run Dungeon Defenders you need to have 256mb of free RAM, right xD? And DD 1 & 2 run perfectly as I can see on YT.
[LG Optimus 2x] rori~:
you want me to test it? :)

(edit: but I admit...seldom I play games on my phone)
[LG Optimus 2x] mrBira:
No problems whatsoever with my phone. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] n3n00:
No need to ;) this phone seems to be better than Atrix for me, and it is already in my country, while Atrix is coming in late Q2. When Atrix comes O2X will be even cheaper.

One question(probably last), any info about SW updates for O2X (Ginger?)?
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
Now I'm a bit confused actually. Is it enough or not?

Have they released any update that fixes wifi and other problems?
[LG Optimus 2x] rori~:
- just played dungeon... :-) smooth, smooth, smooth..

- I have no wifi probs.. better than ever (.. and don't know about the other problems you're talking..)
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
Sounds great!

The reboots, is it SW or HW problems? I heard it could be HW problems.
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
No one knows, even LG.

Which makes me say if you can wait, wait!!!

This might be software and a ginger update might solve everything. On the other hand it might just run on and on.

Play it safe.
[LG Optimus 2x] n3n00:
I guess, if LG doesn't know, it would be nice to replace a faulty devices... :) But as I read that 2.3 is coming in June/July...we'll see what will happen :).
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
I can wait, there's no rush.

I definitely hope this and the wifi problem is just a SW problem, because I really want this phone :)
[LG Optimus 2x] jivemaster:
Personally I wouldn't risk it. You are far more likely to get a unit that plays up than one that works error free.

And there's no guarantee that if you do get a unit that works that it won't start showing symptoms that others have been getting later or after an update.

My wife's 2x random rebooted once a day since day one and after the v10D update continues to do so in addition to now having the charge problem, which we never experienced before.

I know all phones have risks but LG has particularly bad customer service, and possibly the worst software of any Android device. The fact they have not publicly acknowledged the problems people have been having and that they are so specific and widespread, I think it goes to show they were more interested in being the first dual core than releasing a quality handset. Too bad, because it has beautiful build quality.

Save your money and get one of the newer handsets or wait for action on LG's part as far as the widespread problems are concerned. Anyone that recommends this handset to you with all these problems is doing you a disservice.
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
Have LG fixed these problems yet?

Maybe I should go for SGS2, unfortunately it does't have HDMI.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
LG haven't, but Team Douche are doing a pretty good job so far.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
yes it does. its port is mhl or sth called like that, acts like a micro usb AND a hdmi
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
I know. Correct me if I'm wrong... Doesn't the TV have to support MHL to get it to work? If not, then I might get this phone instead, if I can afford it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Maybe this will help some of you, who cant decide if they should buy O2X:

http://mobileboard.blogspot.com/2011/04/why-buying-lg-optimus-2x-was-good.html

This post is a month old, but maybe some will find it useful
[LG Optimus 2x] masi0:
That's a good one! I think that even some issues with 2x that people are having it is worth considering more than Xperia Arc nor SGS2.

I used to have SGS and the phone used to be unstable as well since they were starting to sell. SGS2 is also a big chunk and personally I would say anything bigger than 4" is not a smartphone :)

People instead of complaining should visit Arc forum see all the bugs with 2.3.3 they have.

I believe that LG will release gingerbread for 2x soon - then we will see the true power of nvidia and true benchmark comparision with SGS2 :)
[LG Optimus 2x] smokie700:
Went to the link and the only thing that makes me go ehhh, is the fact that with all of these reviews, very few are mentioning the problems with the phone. Imagine if the reviews went like this. "This phone is the greatest thing since sliced bread until you get stuck in a reboot loop or BSOD every hour or so!"

Mine was great when it "worked" but until the O2X is "fixed" it is just a $600 gamble with little or no LG support
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
LG O2X would be perfect, if it didn't have all these problems. So I guess the best thing I can do is wait and see if these problems get fixed. If not, then I have no clue which phone to get.
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
The funny thing is that I (and some other users) have O2X for over a month, played with many ROMs - never got BSOD, random reboot or bootloop.

I don't know what causes the problems, but maybe there is something from users side.
[LG Optimus 2x] _mightyI:
Hi, i have had bad experiences with the lg ox2 back in the days when i used the stock rom. Phone was slow and laggy but since im using a custom rom i love my ox2 :)

You can really feel the power of the build in hardware...

I can advice this device to anyone who isnt afraid to "play" with it. Everybody else go and get an iphone or something :D
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
Tomorrow I will take a closer look at it, though I have held it but it was only a dummy. But I'm gonna wait and see if they fix these problems. If they do, I'm definitely gonna get this phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] Meltus:
Not had any issues with this phone so far. No reboots/freezes, battery life has got steadily better (with cm7), camera is awesome, it's fast as hell and the build quality is amazing.

Wouldn't trade it for anything on the market at the moment :)
[LG Optimus 2x] fwdkiller:
Lucky I sold my o2x and got iphone 4 I will never look back, android sucks if u have patients then get it if you don't and want a phone that just works then get a iphone plain and simple.
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
Since there is a chance that I will get a phone with problems, I better wait and see.

I won't but anything from apple...

About playing games... can I charge it while I'm playing. Or will it be overheated? Is it easy to root it and unroot it? Can I easily take a back up of the phone before I root it, so if something goes wrong when I try to root it, I can easily restore it.
[LG Optimus 2x] simonh94:
LG have fixed this problem now?

Though, I won't buy it this month. Maybe next month. But I still would like to keep me updated with the latest about it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Maybe they have. There are reports of v10S appearing in Korea, which might well be it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Luciddream26:
hehe o2x > iphone 4 in every way...
[LG Optimus 2x] topanyel:
Well I can only answer the gaming part; I have been playing HD games (Eternal Legacy and Dungeon Hunter 2) in the past fews days while charging via my car's USB and phone was not overheated, only got a bit warm but nothing serious.
[LG Optimus 2x] StardustOne:
Even though they claim to fix the issues, no one buying that phone can be sure of not receiving a broken one.

Avoid the LG Optimus 2x at all cause until LG officially confirms that all phones sold from day x on are free of these flaws. And I highly doubt that they can ever do this. They do not really know what is going on and not even offering people a refund/exchange (worldwide without questions asked) is telling the customer for certain not to buy their products, even though they may look flashy and cool.

It is up to you the customer if you still trust LG, I would not recommend that phone unless you are willing to buy it for the hardware only and later root it. The LG software on top of the phone is not worth the money.

Be aware of the really bad battery runtime. Mine only lasts about 8 to 9 hours with 3G, WiFi and Data Sync on (and this is what this phone is intended to be used, it is not a toy, it is a business tool).

Android is the best phone OS out there, yet what LG delivered is extremely bad. It is not enough to be out with the first dual core phone, customers also have to like it and so far, with the exception of the fanboys out there (and the people afraid to tell in public that they made a bad decision buying this phone) and the people only interested in rooting it and run custom roms, no one is extremely happy having bought it. I would not buy an iPhone because of the extremely high price and the small screen, but I bet customer satisfaction is extremely high with the iPhone 4 compared to the LG Optimus 2x.
