I have one. Someone who actually has some pull needs to contact LG, like Anand Lal Shimpi from Anandtech. He reviewed the P990 when it was first released. You can bet that if he makes a story about the missing update, something will happen, or at least he'll get some honest communication from the people actually in charge. Contacting him about the matter will probably yield much larger dividends than contacting LG representatives. My 2 cents.
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
I signed the partition but the reality is it's too late now, LG have missed the boat.

I suspect it will need the weight of somebody like Engadget or Gizmodo ... perhaps Android Central is influential enough.

If somebody writes a well composed, polite and succinct email to one/all of the editors they might pick it up.

Then again, realistically the P990 is now old hat unfortunately. And come the next Nexus it will be irrelevant.

I won't say I won't get another LG phone (they may get a Nexus contract) but I will say that from this point on, I am only ever going to buy a Nexus.

I lament the fact that I just didn't keep using my Nexus One until the next one comes out. I wasn't a fan of the hardware specs of the Nexus S (should have been dual core) but the reality is, it's just as fast, if not faster than the P990 and as far as I can tell Tegra2 "power and magic" is marketing bull****.

I'm getting the next Nexus as soon as it's available and I'm just going to walk away from this POS. I might leave it at a bus stop just on principle alone.

Just emailed Anand
[LG Optimus 2x] lintz:
Sorry meant Italy. And hmm yea its registered in the GetRIL application. Not sure where it comes from or if it is a unofficial release but since v20i is the latest now it would fit with v20g between.

PS still hunting for v20G or I url's. Any one?
[LG Optimus 2x] devil.jeet:
yess.. its awesome... no lags... multitasking is awesome.. no need to use task killers... loving my phone now...
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Well, I've done my part to delay the release ;-)

I found an LG Forum (which I doubt has any official capacity other than pretending to give some support, but actually just being yet another channel for announcing new phones) and reported the "Norwegian bug" yet again, begging any official who read the post to forward it to the software-engineers (I use that term loosely.) I'll probably just get fobbed off tomorrow.

EDIT: Oh, and this was after having tried to send an e-mail via the scandinavian LG-pages, which after having me enter a ton of details and the mail itself sent me to a 404-page. Tried three times.

[LG Optimus 2x] mparack:
Brian who Co-reviewed the O2x at Anandtech responded to my email. He himself has a g2x and had contacted LG about the issues to no avail. He uses CM7 too as he got tired of the official ROM and waiting for LG to resolve the issues.

Let's see what Engadget have to say now in response to my email.

Meanwhile LG have offered to swap my handset with another O2x or O3D for raising such a stink about this issue. Not sure if I want either though as the O2x will most probably have the same issues while the 3d is a but chunky and ugly looking despite having a better spec.
[LG Optimus 2x] EvilSpants:
I have GetRIL installed. If I were to use it to change my RIL, and then I run the LG Phone Updater, changing the region to match where the RIL comes from, would I get the Gingerbread update from that region, via the Phone Updater?

Chances are less that they will release the update during this year.
[LG Optimus 2x] Denonite:
Just ran the updater.

Servers are down for maintenance.... ooohhhh
[LG Optimus 2x] miliosp:
I ran the updater too. Servers are up here in Greece but the phone says that it has already the latest update V10D :(

Dont worry, when we get into october, lg will make another announcement saying that we might get GB update in november :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] arkara:
I checked for updates and it tells me i have the most recent version but i am at the V10c rom. Wtf?
[LG Optimus 2x] Floating Point:
I think the update is out... I just conected my phone in my PC USB to charge, after that I hopefully opened the LGMobile Update and saw this:

Maybe its 2.3?
[LG Optimus 2x] Zlatan_61:
Let us know if it is :)
[LG Optimus 2x] não-soi-jo:
wrong, LGP990H in brazil its actually on V10F, and you is using V10C so its updating to V10F.
[LG Optimus 2x] Floating Point:
My phone was bought 2 months ago in Germany, not in Brazil. See Modelo: LGP900, the is no "h".

Since I bought it, everyday I try my luck on LGMobile Update to see if there is something and always received the message saying that there is no update.

Today it's the first time I received this message saying that there is an update.

I'll wait to finish and check if it's really GB, my connection is just 1Mbps, it's going to take some time to finish the download.

I'll make sure to give a feedback.

---

It's comming very slow... like 10kb/s, sometimes goes to 50kb/s, half of my speed limit. It looks like I'm not the only one downloading the update, the LG servers must be full.

---

Bad news, no Gingerbread.

Just went from V10c to V10d.

:(

LOOOL nice troll LG.

---

Nice, after the "update", Market is not working.

"Sorry!

The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please Try Again.

Force close"

Thank you LG for nothing.

Uninstall the Market update under Application Settings fixed the problem.

/end of my extasy lol
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
The next time you get a message about update available (which I get all the time), instead of getting worked up you should look at the second menu entry in the second menu ("Customer support/Supporting model" in english, "Apoio ao Cliente/something" in the screenshot.)

Find "Your provider/LGP990" in the list, and next to it will be the latest version released for your region - the version you'll get if you do the update.
[LG Optimus 2x] Floating Point:
No, my phone is not in the list. The list don't even have P990 or P990h.

My phone is German, I didn't bought from any provider, I got straight from a LG retailer, I don't know if this affect something, my phone was V10c out of the box.

Also, since from the first day, from time to time I open the updater to check if there is something new and I always received that message saying that there is no update available.

In Germany, my carrier is blauworld, here in Brazil I use TIM. No matter where I am, LGMobile Updater always said that my V10c was the last version to me.

If someone with a German O2x already have V10d, LG must hate me to deny the update until now because just today I was finally able to update the phone for the first time.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Should still work, but you have to enter "Options & Help" and set country to "Germany" before checking the "supporting models".
[LG Optimus 2x] ryaneu:
I've got a strange feeling that the Gingerbread update is gonna be delayed again.
[LG Optimus 2x] Morghoth:
Well... it's not a feeling. It's a fact :mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] Tangkapan:
Well i talked to LG Europe..

And guess what they have told me???

GB is scheduled for 9. November 2011:mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Promises, promises...
[LG Optimus 2x] rottenpenguin:
I don't think the selected country plays any role in update check. I think the sole important parameter is the IMEI, and LG knows on what market that IMEI was sold.

Try to check updates with the update link, and try to give in another country. Even if for that particular country there is another update version, you still get the same version.

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/...jsp?esn=IMEI&model=LGP990&country=RO&region=E

(replace IMEI with yours and RO with your country code)
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Correct. But the list you get when choosing "supporting model" in the LG Update tool looks at the country you have selected. That's why you have to choose Germany. I didn't say you could update to a version from the country you selected, just that you have to choose a country to get the correct list if the phones origin doesn't match your country.
[LG Optimus 2x] Morghoth:
November is probably more real. Paul (from Modaco) also said that GB "should" be released during November. I hope so...:rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] sergiotca:
Is this for real?

I'm starting to wonder if the GB update is ever coming at all... delay after delay after delay.

The real question is why oh why? is it really that difficult to develop a reasonable good brew of GB for the hardware? is it the Tegra chip? something to do with the double core? what's the big deal? could someone explain that to me?

All this situation it's really a pitty cause I'm actually in love with the hardware and its "capabilities", if only LG were to unleash it's true power...

SHAME ON YOU LG! :mad:

[LG Optimus 2x] diegonando22:
Colombian?

Colombian? ... where do you live... bogota?

At least we have topogigi's mod and other options to try some piece of GB .... while update comes true

We know that GB will release .... some day! maybe 2012 .... but what those delays really means are that we probably dont see ICS from LG....

and I know for sure ... my next smartphones it's not gonna be LG.... this company dont give us enought support!
[LG Optimus 2x] BEC0MM:
ahah I knew GB would not be released in september...

and guess what, its not going to be released in november either :)

LG is about to shut down its mobile department... read the news...

If you really want a blazing fast and stable O2X, switch to custom ROMs !!! And forget about LG crap...for good!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] afpapa:
Hi, I gave up hoping to see some official reaction from LG.

A absolutely great phone, even in the Guinness records book, but forgotten from LG.

[LG Optimus 2x] ThePigletWhisperer:

I read about the upcoming LG androids with dual 1.2 Ghz tegra 2 cpu device, the new optimus slider and more. But i haven't read anything, "on the News" about LG closing the mobile division. Yes they are not selling as well as Samsung ATM but that's how it is, trends come and go.

Yes I've seen rumors, but rumors don't count m8

Guys! Petition Plzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!! petitions24.com/lgo2xtogb
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
That's good advice... to yourself. Read the news.

There have been rumours that LG is restructuring it's mobile division, cutting jobs in marketing, but adding jobs to the research division.

LG immediately denied these rumours, but they surfaced again later.

Nowhere has there been any mention of LG closing down mobile (which, even if they wanted to get rid of it, they would sell, not close.)

On a personal note I'd hope the rumour is true, I've never met a marketing person who isn't a complete airhead. Cutting fluff is a good idea if the resources can be spent elsewhere.

We can only hope that the research-division is responsible for developing our phones' software and will get more resources to do it. (Although that division primarily is responsible for developing new mobile technologies and patents. LG is one of the largest mobile patent-holders in the world, making lots of money on licensing.)
[LG Optimus 2x] skejpa:
I wrote to LGE few days ago and they told me that GB will be out till the end of september. So i wrote them again yesterday and they react like this (translated to en):

Hello,

Thank you for the possibility of contact through use of electronic communication.

LGE is trying to meet all customer requirements. To consolidate the requirements of all operators in all countries we decided to move the update for December.

For questions please contact us.

Thread summary:

1. Save pennies

2. Get Nexus 3 (or whatever it's called).

3. Live!

Even if we get GB on P990, we will also have to wait for ICS. And because we can't get good sources then it will always be slow.

At least with the Nexus we will get source code.

"We'er very sorry but update to Android 2.3 version for Optimus 2X has been postponed due to technical problems, we will update you when this update will be available..." and some marketing BS about how important for them is good quality of this update...

I'm starting to believe that 30 February is the only possible date for publishing this update

[LG Optimus 2x] ThePigletWhisperer:
Just install CyanogenMod guys.

Trust me, you wont regret it.

Even when GB gets released, you think it wont be laggy? Stock Roms are always slow.

And by the time LG releases GB we'll probably have CyanogenMod 8 with IceScream Sandwich on board.

Besides A2DP I can see a reason why anyone would stay on stock.

I am a big fam of CM however just like to say just cause your on it doesnt mean its lag free experiance. My phone had to be reset every 24 hours (off and on) as it would get to laggy for some reason. Since going on 2.3.4 leaked version, it is fine. Stock isnt always slow lol. That was really the case with Sanmsungs Galaxy S..

Having said that CM7 is amazing <3 I might go back in a few weeks as I get broed being on the same one..
[LG Optimus 2x] BEC0MM:
You sum it up pretty well..

But fact is that LG makes consecutive losses with its mobile dpt (cf. Reuters), and LG shares have dropped from almost 3% because of it.

Coupled with other announcements (LG plans to enter the laptop market, and develop internet TVs), it sounds like a external growth strategy to me... They'll keep on the research and licensing for mobile tech, but won't assemble anymore...

But, this is just my assumption... take it for what its worth ;)

Back to the topic, I now use CM7 instead of the default LG stock, and I couldn't be more happy with the performance and stability.... nuff said...
[LG Optimus 2x] XTREM1337:
I'm fed up about LG and their lies, I'l sell this phone, lost some money, but f** off..

I want one that looks and feels pretty much the same, without the Lags and unwanted bloat that comes pre-installed
[LG Optimus 2x] arkara:
We don't need a stock rom. We need an AOSP rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] Tommy0815:
I have the same Problems with CM7 as on Stock. Random reboots, "mini Reboots"(reenter PIN), BSOD,...

I think it is not just the software. will send it to customer center the third time this week. All they do is to "update" the software (v10c->v10c) or do a hardreset.

I will wait for nexus prime(3) an use my "old" nexus one, which works flawless.

greetings, Tom
[LG Optimus 2x] ThePigletWhisperer:
Seriously. I have cyanogenmod for a month now. I didnt get a single BSOD or reboot or anything.

Did you try updating the kernel?
[LG Optimus 2x] Tommy0815:
Of course i updated the kernel. Also changed micro-sd, sim, baseband. Today i talked to my provider. I will send it to customer service once more, then i can swap to another phone. Think i will do so.

[LG Optimus 2x] afpapa:
I am a little concern...The have developed (but not released) several V20, up to "i"

It seems none of these versions is good enough to be publicly released. What does this tell us? That either they can't (low on personnel) or the don't want to produce (abandoned?). I really hope that I am wrong, but this a danger when the company produces too many different models....
