[LG Optimus 2x] tickler136:
The hardware for the Desire S is a real let-down IMHO. I've found my O2X to be stable generally, the early nightlies of CM7 weren't great but after about 10 they really improved. LG's software sucks but the phone is still usable, if laggy.

I've had no heat issue (if anything it runs cooler than my old Desire, if not my DEXT). Likewise the screen bleeding issue. I wouldn't choose any other phone right now.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
and if i may ask, for how long have you had your o2x ?
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
Looolll.

Is like comparing a Toyota with a Ferrari....

Ofcourse LG O2X.

I have mine since day one of release.

Some times (once a week or in 2 weeks) BSOD.

Phone never gets warm or what so ever.

Kept it stock for a long time. Rooted my phone like 2 weeks ago.

Just for Adfree, nothing else.
[LG Optimus 2x] Cloudstrife:
Had mine for a week. Stabile as rock! Not one reboot. No heat issues.

I have frozen antivirus and drivemehome (perhaps those who make the device reboot??)

My battery is good for 2 days with moderate use on 2G network. Have disabled 3G...

The backlight bleeding is a problem with all LCD screen more or less. I dont know why you want to stare at the screen while its pitch black in a room without light... I have some bleeding, but never bothers me. It is usually something to see in the screen ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
and what about the other loads of ppl who have bsod 5 times per day :| ?

i just really dont want want to go wrong with this because return is not an option
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
Just play with your phone hardcore for 3 days.

If any BSOD, REBOOT, hot tempure will occure you can go to the store en switch the phone.

And if your phone has these issues, I think you will notice it on the hardcore 3 day use.
[LG Optimus 2x] jivemaster:
I would do the opposite actually. Using the phone will give you no issues, it's only when left alone that the problems occur.

I seriously wouldn't risk this phone to be honest. You're guaranteed to have issues in one way or another, and you shouldn't have to root and void your warranty to get a reliable phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
IMHO, if you can wait, I would suggest waiting 6 weeks to 2 months to see how the dual-core phone scene pans out. I think gingerbread would likely be on LG2X by then, as would improved stability on other dual-core phones as well. Also, like all electronic products, the longer you wait to buy - the cheaper they become.
[LG Optimus 2x] smokie700:
keep in mind that some people had the O2X for 3 weeks before they started getting reboots/ freezes and BSOD. Just saying
[LG Optimus 2x] mintjustin:
Just you wait a little more while. CM7 will be as stable as a rock soon enough.

IMO. The Desire S should be around 2/3 the price of O2X to make it any worthy compared to O2X. It's just an upgraded version of the original Desire with a high pricetag.
[LG Optimus 2x] jivemaster:
The desire and incredible s work out of the box though. Without random reboots and freezes. If you just want a phone that works, I would go with the desire.

The 2x is great hardware for the money, but hardware isn't everything. I'm saying if you were concerned about problems, this really isn't the handset for you. Because you are 99% guaranteed to have issues.

If you are buying this with the intention to hack the hell out of it, you might be ok. You can't beat it's hardware to price ratio.

Don't even think about running this phone on stock if that is your intention.

It still hasn't been fully determined if anyone running stock, no root, no changes haven't had issues. Checking the various threads, I can't see anyone using stock that doesn't have issues. Most have either rooted and frozen apps, or put a complete new rom on.

If there are people running stock and don't have issues, they are a minority at best.

The op is saying a return isn't really an option to them. If so, then look elsewhere.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
I hacked the **** out of it. And I love it. I could get an sgs2 but I didnt and thats saying a lot.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
Go for the o2x really great phone, had mine since day 1 and its never let me down, really glad i choose this over both desire s and sgs2

Hope this helps u decide, and let us know what u get.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
thanks guys. idk, i think im more leaning towards optimus 2x now, cuz of CM mostly, but then again, the size is kinda huge especially for a 4 inch screen.

and 1 more question, hows the audio quality through headphones ? i read in gsmarena that stereo crosstalk is pretty awful, what do you people think ? its kind of important cuz i always use my phone as a music player :)
[LG Optimus 2x] goatee:
Why isn't the stock ROM an option? My first handset had to be replaced on day one. My replacement has BSOD once in a month. BSOD aside, the stock ROM really aint that bad - the LG home app isn't so great, but replace it with Go Launcher (or Launcher Pro or. . . ) and it's fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
lol this bsod stuff looks so god darn random, i wish it was more concentrated so ppl could determine the ultimate cause.

btw another Q, hows the call quality ? and still: hows the sound through headphones ( is the stereo cross talk bearable ? cuz gsmarena said its pretty sucky, wondering how is it in real life situations)
[LG Optimus 2x] goatee:
You're not the only one!

I've found the call quality to be fine - in quiet situations, it's excellent, in noise situations it's fine. I've not used the handsfree, so don't know how calls are through headphones, but music is aok :D.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
thanks :) do you use the supplied headphones or your own ?
[LG Optimus 2x] goatee:
Np - I use my own - Goldring NS1000.
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
LG2X has low sound output at the earphone jack. Would be advisable to use earphones with high sensitivity and low impedance. Other than the low output issue, it plays pretty good.
[LG Optimus 2x] Meltus:
Had the phone for about a week and this is what I've found (i know some problems have occurred after about 3 weeks but bare with me):

No freezes, no reboots and no BSOD This is including being on stock ROM for a day and a half (which i had absolutely no problems with, i'm just a flashaholic! :D), then switching ROMs on a regular basis until settling on CM7.

No slowdown This phone has been rapid from day one. Even the stock LG ROM with LG launcher was incredibly fast, no noticeable lag whatsoever.

Not much overheating I haven't noticed much, if any, overheating (apart form when you overclock it :p)

Build quality; better than any phone i've ever used.

Speaker low volume on stock but can be pushed much higher with Gingerbread. Speaker quality is actually pretty good. Incall clarity and volume is good and headphone clarity and volume is good once you boost it on Gingerbread. It's not too great on Froyo.

Dev support Is awesome. :D

Camera Is awesome.

Battery life is MUCH better with CM7. On stock it's pretty bad.

Screen is pretty good. Very sharp, bright and great in direct sunlight. Much better than AMOLED imo. Unfortunately the screen bleed is terrible! This is the only downside to this phone i've experienced. My screen bleed seems to be much worse than most peoples; It's bleeding at all 4 corners :( Although, it happens with all LCD screen so i kinda expected it.

Obviously, i've never played with the Desire S so i can't really comment, but, if it costs the same as a phone with twice the cpu power it's really a no-brainer.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
i thank you kindly sir !

pretty sure im gonna get this phone now , especially since lg said they have got an update coming.. and anyways i bet the devs will clear any bugs with this beautie :)

guess i only need to check my unit at the store for the back light bleeding :D
[LG Optimus 2x] mohnim:
I also want to buy this phone but i want to know if it has usb and wifi tethering built in and also if the lg 2x has DLNA

I dont know what DLNA is but from my understanding i think it is like hdmi but its wireless

No need for cable like hdmi
[LG Optimus 2x] titus1:
Don't go for O2X...it's an "almost but not quite" kind of thing.

I'm sure you'll going to have other options.
[LG Optimus 2x] goatee:
That's right - the Goldrings have high impedance, but turn on the noise cancellation circuit, and it's fine - alternatively, get a headphone amp - the Fiio e5 is a cheap and effective amp :).

DLNA is a wireless protocol for streaming media - think Apple Airplay. Yes, the O2X comes with free DLNA software (smart share).
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
and still...

how would you guys evaluate the stereo capabilities ? is it good (great stereo) ,pretty acceptable, or bad (close to mono) ?
[LG Optimus 2x] tlg:
What is the thing it can't do ?

Tell us one of the "almost" in your opinion.
[LG Optimus 2x] tlg:
Stereo is pretty good , but i wish it was liiitle more louder
[LG Optimus 2x] edangel:
yeah like NOKIA 3310,motorola krazor,or LG Cookie

LG 2X is A fawkin like pc and does all the cool stuffs and has a dual core chipset and can play all the games without lag and especially when it supports nvidia tegra2 games!has 1080p video recording and its awsome..!stupid awsome future phone of the next century !!

is that what you want to say?????:D:D:D:D
[LG Optimus 2x] akira de aimbuster:
I think that is because people havent flash to other rom in the first 3 weeks. :P
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
No problem with stereo separation. Very clean sounding throughout the audio range. No digital artifacts that I can discern using 160kbits/aac files. It's a bit weak in the bass ranges, but may not be an issue depending on the material played. Technically, it uses a Wolfson DAC which is quite high quality for a phone. I compared it with Burr Brown PCM2706 USB DAC on my PC. The BB is low-end by audiophile standards. BB has a bassier atmosphere and more stable staging. Whereas the LG2X had stronger dynamics, making it more "toe-tapping/head-nodding" with dancey tunes.

IMHO, other than being quite unforgiving to low sensitivity/high impedance earphones, LG2X is a pretty decent sounding portable music playback device.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
thank you sir ! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AMcKeeCT:
Hi Everyone,

My name is Andrew, and I am a bit of an Android n00b.

This week I tried to install the 2.3 Gingerbread leak on my Droid X.

I used the Droid bootstrap to install the Gingerbread from my SD card.

I wiped my cache and factory reset everything first.

LONG VERSION:

However, when I try to boot it, I get stuck on the Motorola logo.

The good news: I can boot into the boot-loader and recovery mode, but I can't do much from there, as "factory reset" option doesn't fix the ROM.

More bad news: Although I copied the contents of my SD card to my Laptop, my friend accidentally broke it. I'm currently SD card-less right now.

SHORT VERSION:

- Boot-loop on Motorola logo after attempted Gingerbread install:mad:

- Stock SD card broken:mad:

- SD card pre-wipe data saved on laptop:cool:

- Able to access recovery mode and boot-loader:cool:

QUESTIONS:

1. Will buying a new (generic) micro SD card fix my broken SD problems? If so, is there compatibility issues with SD card storage sizes? (e.g will a 32gb SD work, because my stock SD was 16gb)

2. Is it possible to get a ROM (Stock Froyo, Gingerbread, or Custom...) onto the droid?

3. If I just tell Verizon that I tried to reset my droid X to stock and it stopped working, does that void my warranty, and can they tell if I'm lying?

4. Does the missing micro SD card mess-up my warranty for the phone hardware?

5. If I can't get a ROM on there, is it possible for Verizon to via the boot-loader?

I haven't been able to find a problem quite like mine that has been resoleved.

If you know of (a) thread(s) that answers these questions, please link them!

Thanks SO much to any Android 1337 H4X0RZ who respond.

Sorry for this being so long!

Thanks again,

Andrew (AMcKeeCT)

Hi, i am a SGS owner and i'm wondering about upgrading to the SGSII mainly for gps and flash.

Could you please share some gps test screens and some photos? If there is an old sgs owner i do like to know its thought too

I am really interested about battery life too, but as far as i read it is the same as SGS
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
GPS and battery life are both better than my captivate
[Galaxy S II General] bigmo7:

GPS seem to lock on speedily in open spaces. The chip is CSR SiRFstarIV, according to PDAdb.NET
[Galaxy S II General] shorty083:
I tested the gps for the first time today while driving.

No track to show for it at this moment, but it kept a steady lock the whole way, 30km,

no weird jumping around, showed me in the right lane of the highway,

kept close, about 5/6m distance.

I've tried this same stretch of road a dozen times with my sgs, but it never

even came close to showing me where I actually was, couldn't keep a lock, always jumping around,

sometimes showing me as far as 2 km away, so I'm very happy with the improved gps in the sgs2.

Battery with intensive use will last about 6 hours for me, moderate use 12 to 14h and light use 30 to 36h. But battery life seems different for everyone.

From what I've encountered with flash, it plays smoothly, only had some slight hiccups with 1080p youtube files on heavy sites.

The only minor regret I could think of right now after moving from the sgs1 is that my favorite custom roms and themes aren't available yet.

When installing CM7, Google apps (GAPPS) is not installed along with the rom. GAPPS are available as a separate download. That will solve your missing market app and will also fix your email problems as the native Gmail app is included in the GAPPS package.

I bought my NC last week and immediately rooted it with out a hitch using ManualNooter for stock 1.2. In the process of trying to flash Phiremod my NC locked up in CWM when doing a wipe data/factory reset as instructed. I did a hard reset and tried to load Phiremod any way, which failed. I ended up using the backup I made of the rooted clean stock OS and it is working.

I read this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1077973

and mine has the same issue of a partitioned eMMC that only reports 1GB. This prevents me from loading custom ROMs and side loading any applications.

One of the posts on that last thread mentions how dual booting essentially repartitions your eMMC to allow for the said dual booting, so I tried the "Step 1" in the repartition process here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=959461

And it failed, but did boot back into my stock rooted OS.

My question is...

Is there a way to repartition my NC with what seems to be a new partition scheme that B&N moved to so that I can load custom ROMs, sideload programs, and/or dual boot off of eMMC?

If I read all this correctly.. this should do the trick. as well as re-enabling apk installs correctly with rooted stock?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb7038:
Already tried that.

You'll get a 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 with 0 Space available and you cannot sideload because of that. All that does is re-write the folders and not partition it.

I even tried changing the factory.zip with an older version in the /emmc and did a system/data wipe through the 8 boot fails and power + n reset.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanGibson:
One possibility

If you are familiar with fdisk and mkfs.ext2 or are willing to learn, and can boot a rooted OS from the SDcard, it should be trivial to delete, resize, repartition, and reformat /data (0p6 -- ext3), /cache (0p7 -- ext3) and /media (0p8 -- vfat). Do note the size of the partitions (especially 0p7/cache) before deleting them.

Then, when you restart the NC, it should recreate the contents of /data and /media to virgin content (meaning you better have backed up any non-B&N content). You will have to reregister with B&N, so you should probably do this on an UNROOTED Nook.

This is an experiment that I have wanted to try, but have not had the time; I've been too busy doing other experiments, like having B&N do the intentional repartitioning. I was using internal dual boot before, but uninstalled it before the repartitioning, because I knew there would not be enough space for dual boot afterwards.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb7038:
I'm just unfamiliar with the block sizes and the commands to partition/change it.

____________________________________________

I do have the NC I'm suppose to send back that's fully wiped.

I'd be willing to partition it myself before I send it back if someone could walk me through it.

Dear God I would love to try but honestly I don't know a think about command line linux. Also, mine is already rooted, but I can always take it back to stock.
