[LG Optimus 2x] mh1337:
Your device seems to be ok (I'm wondering how it ran on v10D which is the actual """stable""" version officially provided by LG), but please consider others opinions on the phone. I do have reboots every 2 days on v20e

Did you just write developer ? Do you think people are "devs" because they cooked some crappy roms from closed source?

XDA LG Optimus 2x could be a real dev forum if LG had either produced stable drivers (baseband and all the crap around it), or released the code to open source community. But both of theses solutions are unlikely to happen. Cooked roms won't be stable...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
LG have open sourced everything they're able too as I understand it. The ones dragging their feet are nVidia.
[LG Optimus 2x] arkara:
Yeah, i don't say otherwise. But i would like my phone to be snappy. It is supposed to be a 1ghz dual core. Lags are just not permitted.

Basher ?

Youre nothing but a clueless fanboy

I dont care if this is a developer site or not, people did not buy a raw piece of hardware that you are supposed to get working yourself through developer roms etc. And developer roms is not about that at all, developer roms is about extending the possibilites of an allready working platform, not about trying to fix something broken by the manufacturer.

Customers bought a finished product which in any term of any consumer law in the world should be working out of the box without random reboots, random bsod and other known errors. Fact is it doesnt. Fact is that users as well as network carriers around the world acknowledge the fact that it doesnt work.

I have done plenty of footwork during my 8 monhts of owning this crap, contacting LG, contacting various internet and paper media to put pressure on LG, arranging facebook groups etc. etc. - in my country some of this pressure has led to LG acknowledging the problems publicly, and every single network carrier selling the phone publicly acknowledging the problems and offering every single owner a money back (or change to different phone) posibility. In other countries we have seen network carriers taking the phone off the shelfs because of these problems.

The value of the phone has dropped to half and made it almost impossible to sell secondhand because of these known problems, meaning thousands and thousands of users who bought this crap because of LG's promisses have not only had to live with the problems since launch and wait for ever for updates which constantly gets delayed, had their phones repaired or exchanged a number of times with no resolution of the problem, but are also taking a considerable economic hit on their purchase. The main reason why you now have the oppotunity to get this cheap, is because of this. Not because LG is offering you some "special bargain"

Ignoring these facts and trying to insult me calling me a basher and a biatch, only shows what a pittyfull ignorant fanboy you are.
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
LG XYZ

I think there are three key concerns:

The stock LG software is poor compared to Samsung, HTC or Motorola. Whether your phone reboots, hangs or wanks isn't relevant to this equation. Overall, LG's implementation of Froyo and Gingerbread is well behind the competition in the premium market. Additionally there are a statistically significant number of owners experiencing random instability which is a clear reinforcement that there are software based critical problems.

The lack of source code surely inhibits us. Ultimately, as Rusty! says, LG have provided what they can, NVidia are pinching our tits and withholding critical information. I don't absolve LG of accountability here though - they were the ones that signed the license agreement that prevents awesome ROM teams from exploiting the hardware we have.

LG have deceived us and not come clean. I was a launch-day owner of the 2x and principly on the basis of a promised Spring upgrade to Gingerbread... it's now Autumn and nothing. Worse though is in between they've kept giving us false dates. Broken promises and lies, whether you're satisfied with your phone or not, are surely unacceptable.

All facts.
[LG Optimus 2x] Floating Point:
True. O2x gets insanely slow while/after an app. install.

I didn't detected such problem in my TF101 tablet.
[LG Optimus 2x] albertfann:
stop wasting time for official update from LG. just go for other ROM .
[LG Optimus 2x] jacktheonlypirate:
seriously stop wasting time and cursing your luck....i've installed caynogenmod 7.1 its amazing
[LG Optimus 2x] pacobear:
Yeah, its amazing how it hangs and freezes in black when charging and need to remove/put the battery... ¬__¬

One day with CM7.1 and no more. I´m back to stock.
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
Lets hope LG redeem themselves with a a good GB update.
[LG Optimus 2x] S0ci0:
That sounds like a problem on your end? No ones having those issues with CM so far, afaik, and my problems also went away with CM 7,1
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
Today, i've bought myself a new Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro (The new one) because i finally wanted to get rid of my 2x.

It has a 1,2 ghz cpu and 512mb of ram, so it's missing 1 core compared to my Optimus Speed.

What can i say, i'm surprised. It's running stock 2.3.4 at a truly incredibly speed,

everything pops up in a fraction of a second.

I'm amazed by the fact that this little piece of hardware is capable of running ALL of my emulators WAY faster then my 2x ever did.

I thought my LG was a good phone until i started to objectively compare it with others. The mini pro (and some other phones from other companies) made me realize how ****ty LG is, i've wasted so much time trying out new roms and optimizing my phone to the maximum. It's 'sad' to see this tiny phone is faster in every aspect only using the stock rom, especially considering it's roughly only 200€ here in germany.

The camera only takes 5mpx pictures, whose quality is still better then all the dusty shots my LG was doing.

Roms are a good thing, and i thank the whole developing community for serving such an awesome service to us tech-noobs.

Yet the purpose of a rom should be to improve a phone, not to make it run in first place.

I'm done with LG, what a retarded company.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
This is very true.
[LG Optimus 2x] karan_singh_9008:
...

check out the new phones they are rolling out..

all with Qualcomm chipstes..

i am considering writing a letter to LG and demanding all my money back..

i am done with this crap..
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
Well I've just got mine back from repair and they've replaced the main PCB and reflashed to 10B on 405 BB.

Let's wait and see.
[LG Optimus 2x] mparack:
Far from it. Paul @ modaco reckons that the V20j he has will probably be the GB released and so far none of the users are raving about it.
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
Can you share the statement by Paul? From what I have seen and tested its fine .....

They wont respond you to

<DELETED>

PD: I'm a fanboy of XDA devs... since my "crappy" HTC MAGIC...

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

But it starts from a wrong statement...stock 2.2 runs in first place and runs reliable.

And it may run FAST if you delete a couple of apps and install a proven Kernel.

I never had a single reboot nor a FC on stock v10e on Vodafone...it lagged sometimes but something a induced reboot could not solve.

MOD EDIT:

Please refrain from using "non-friendly" words/ language in your post above. I have deleted most of it. Be aware that at XDA, such posts are not tolerated.
[LG Optimus 2x] abczhou:
I got a post on Facebook HongKong LG , Gingerbread delay again to Dec 31st.
[LG Optimus 2x] FoliathR:
2012 right? :D
[LG Optimus 2x] XT69:
I've just done the same thing, got a friendly reply to it, so I was promised full refund, I sent it back a couple of days ago, and now I'm waiting for further development of the story :)
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
The v10e from Vodafone is one of the only more or less bugfree firmwares, though.

You shouldn't base your statements on a single working firmware when the rest of the world has problems with theirs.

My guess is, the phone will never be as fast as it should because LG only has the core drivers and has already given up on the phone.

It's hilarious to see how hard it is to find a buyer for my lg lol!
[LG Optimus 2x] PLBLV:
According to LG facebook latest comment, relase deadline shifted at leas to 1st w of Nov :D:D:D LG promissed ( lol, sound like a joke)..to do progress update at start of Nov.

i just wonder, how does it glue together with previous post and some operator claimed GB rollout dates. If not customers, then maybe provider will push LG to do at least something.
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
Dont worry, on November they will say December. This will go on for a long time.
[LG Optimus 2x] PLBLV:
I wonder, maybe LG are preparing surprise for custommers :D GB update schedule is is changeing suspiciously similar to ICS rollout plans:D i just refuse to belive, that army of LG developers cannot prepare decent rom for their device (haveing all drivers/codes). in the same time, there are dozen of custom roms, coocked in free time by some entusiast. i just dont get it.
[LG Optimus 2x] afpapa:
This would be a surprise. But I don't bet even on the update for GB inside 2011.

I suppose it has to do with Tegra and their inability to make descend drivers for it to run in GB. It could be Nvidia to blame also.

Next time I get a phone it will be on mainstream SOC not a new one.:mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] GerryCool:
Got an email from LG Electronics in The Netherlands.

They told me the Gingerbread update is expected at the end of 2011...:(
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
I love this phone but LG is a crap company leaving there customers and bringing new phones on the market.

No LG for me in the future
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
Yup i too got a mail from lg it said 1st week of november
[LG Optimus 2x] jetbruceli:
I have to say, I ordered a op2x but got a g2x instead and I am so happy about it. I am sorry u guys have to wait.

sent from Germany using my G2X
[LG Optimus 2x] cartoonistas:
OMG! What has that to do with Gingerbread Updates????????:mad: OMG!
[LG Optimus 2x] ciorde:
With a Samsung mobile you will have the very same problems and a loooong waiting.
[LG Optimus 2x] arkara:
i got this for about 330 euro. When nexus s had 300 euros. So i said that it would be nice to have 2 cores. Next time i will just buy a nexus phone. with aosp updates coming for years!
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Not the Nexus you don't.
[LG Optimus 2x] bondjohn:
been speaking with lg uk on facebook and this is the reply i got

LG UK – Life’s Good

Hi Guys, thanks for all your messages about the Gingerbread update. We appreciate that there have been some frustrations but we wanted to let you know that the operating system is currently going through quality control, but is taking a little longer than anticipated. We’re really committed to ensuring that the upgraded Android 2.3 operating system works flawlessly from day one which is why we’re holding off on release for now. We expect the new updates for the Optimus 2X and Optimus Black to be available in early November and for the Optimus 3D in early December. Apologies in advance to anyone who is waiting for this update.

truth or lies???
[LG Optimus 2x] luka2858:
LIES!!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] mparack:
Rubbish. Ask them whether they can guarantee that it will be FLAWLESS?
[LG Optimus 2x] chaos90222:
Hey guys, I saw a photo showed p990 update now from lg hk website, anyone from hongkong can check it out whether it is an update or not?
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
They can becoz they are testing and that's why it isn't here yet
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
Lets hope gingerbread comes soon and i get good battery life :p
[LG Optimus 2x] mparack:
It's on the v20i thread I think.

I believe you have tried it after optimisation by Paul. My point its that it isn't exactly flawless in its stock form hence the need for improvements.
[LG Optimus 2x] SimDroid:
Appreciate frustration? lol
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
So ne 1 of ull believe its releasing in first week of nov!!!!!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
because LG always keep promising from the first time this phone comes out, LG said that they will upgrade to gingerbread soon if i didn't forget they will upgrade in April or may but the fact they always delay and delay again that's why we're here in xda don't believe LG anymore
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
But using custom roms,,,,, warranty matters!!
[LG Optimus 2x] Morghoth:
Breaking news!

I received a message from LG support, that GB for O2X has been released............

........ on planet Elbonia which is located in distant universe.:mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
Just relax guys. It'll come out when they feel it needs to come out. Don't feed their emotions :).

It takes 9 months for a child to be born....Why should it be faster? :p:D
[LG Optimus 2x] TraceTris:
No no no, LG is the exception. All the other mothers have already given birth to theirs months ago. LG's uterus is now just rotting away with a half-dead unborn child still inside.
[LG Optimus 2x] maxoooo:
patience, patience my friends... :/
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
Its just a month I've got my o2x

But what about those who purchased early during the launch????
[LG Optimus 2x] PLBLV:
"what about those who purchased early during the launch????"...

they already sold their devices long time ago :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Glifaus:
This is exactly what i should have done time ago...

Im a early buyer, im very very angry and dissapointed with LG. NO MORE!!
[LG Optimus 2x] umutozcano:
should have bought the S2. According to this article and video samsung will release ICS to the S2 soon after ICS launch. We havent even got official GB.

http://www.techzine.nl/nieuws/27675/video-opgedoken-met-android-4-0-op-galaxy-s-ii.html article is dutch, but the video says enough.

LG mobile devision is booking huge losses, I wonder why ;).

The quality of the product is just as important as the provided service. (in our case the service that SHOULD have been provided)
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
Sold my 2x today for 255€ **** yeah. Im done with lg :)
[LG Optimus 2x] choccy31:
Should we not all say to LG, forget GB and just get on with rolling out ICS to us instead!

Surely it would be most sensible thing to do as they have really botched up!

They should have used Vanilla on the phone and maybe they wouldn't have had all these issues as I reckon it's their own software that's bug ridden, rather than the hardware.
[LG Optimus 2x] mags014:
I agree, I'm happy if we get to have ICS rather than GB. If we don't get any, screw LG gonna wait for custom ICS ROM
[LG Optimus 2x] bertbuckie:
A quick chat with LG today following a bottle of red wine.... sorry at spelling etc:-

Mobile Phone Support: Hello, BLANK. Can I help you with anything today?

Mobile Phone Support: You're through to Stefan, how may I help?

BLANK: Hi, I have owned my lg optimus 2x for a while now and one of the deciding factors was the gingerbread update ( some of the features I require for my work ) however its not out yet? I want to keep it standard but I see many people with rooted devices running gingerbread :( - Can you tell me when the update will be available please as this is getting ridiculous and has really put me ( an LG fan with many of your items ) off your products to be honest.

Mobile Phone Support: Unfortunately we have not been informed of an official release date for Gingerbread, we are expecting it to be available no later then November, unfortunately we cannot guarantee this though.

BLANK: Can I return my mobile for a full refund? I am really unhappy regarding the false advertising surrounding this and I'm afraid it has put me off all LG products which is a shame as all the other ones I have have served me very well.

BLANK: it is still in shop condition

Mobile Phone Support: Unfortunately we cannot do this at the support center, if you are looking to refund your unit, this would be done via your retailer following their procedures.

BLANK: I spoke with them already however they informed me to take matters up with LG as if its not faulty they cant help.

Mobile Phone Support: We can only provide repairs to devices at the support center, any refunds or exchanges would be done via the retailer, as this is who you purchased the device from.

BLANK: Is there anyone higher at LG I can speak to? I'm not trying to cause an arguement or hassel for you however as the end user I'm now stuck inbetween a rock and a hard place.

BLANK: If I was guarenteed that the update would be within say.... a month I'd be happy for instance

Mobile Phone Support: If you wish to escalate your query, I would suggest that you send in your complaint via written document to cic.uk@lge.com. We are expecting the Android 2.3 update to be available no later than November, but as we have not been informed of an official release date we cannot guarantee this.

BLANK: okay thanks for your time, I realize this is out of your hands and I hope you have a nice day.

BLANK: BLANK

Mobile Phone Support: If you have any future queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Following this chat there is a short survey that will allow you to rate the Live Chat service you have received today. We appreciate all feed back given. Thank you for choosing LG, and have a nice day.

Not that I care that much, I ran CM7 up to yesterday but just flashed back to standard as I didn't actually use it at all before rooting etc I just saw the thread and thought id moan at them because imho it should have been done long ago.

[LG Optimus 2x] sergiotca:
SO...

Can someone please be so kind as to remind me what's the current "official" release date shamelessly promised by LG? :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] bertbuckie:
Read my last post - there isn't one - delayed since April I believe.
[LG Optimus 2x] rifmouk:

[LG Optimus 2x] McNord:
I really should wait another 1-2 months to buy Samsung Galaxy S2 instead. Tought the S2 should be much more expensive than this one. But it seemed to be almost the same at release... And now we never get this upgrade, never more LG. I want a phone that is supported with updates least 1 year after release...
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
Lg's so called confirmation says 1st week of november ......i tried mailing wid different names but got the same reply sayin 1st week of November

Worst than the Wolf Coming story...
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
so based on your link optimus 2x will be on OS 2.3.5 let's hope that it'll be true then
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
If it'll be 2.3.5 we can expect ics in future. Hope so :p

GB for the 2x. It's becoming a running gag like "duke nukem forever? its done when its done"

Lol
[LG Optimus 2x] JimmyLeeBillyBob:
Another delay by LG. Why am I not surprised? This is just another bump on a very bumpy road I've been on ever since I got my P990. This will also be the last LG device I've ever bought. I'm so fed up with this. Also, I promise myself not to be an early adapter anymore. I've been disappointed too many times now.
[LG Optimus 2x] Tommy0815:
Hi Friends,

got a swap device from my provider today, after sendimg my optimus to service center the third time. It´s an SGS2 and i love it. works stable on stock with 2.3.4. And is much faster(even in the ui) than my o2x. lg died for me an i never ever will buy ANY device of them...

[LG Optimus 2x] arkara:
Don't get your hopes up dudes. ICS is not comming to us.
[LG Optimus 2x] afpapa:
According to google all devices that have 2.3, will be able to run ICS (hardware wide).

So its up to LG (unlikely) or the developers (possible) in the community to make it happen in 2X.
[LG Optimus 2x] orangisengbanget:
here comes ICS and we still haven't got official GB update ... wtf

Switched over to Nokia N8 for a few days. Not a fan of the symbian OS, back to O2x, starting to save up money for the nexus prime ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] 007xico:
thanks for all help but i am going

Just sold my Lg o2x for £245.

Got a SGS2 so moving to another forum.

I won´t say LG never but i´ll think a lot before buy another LG phone.

But to be honest i was not totally disappointed with the phone because i never had too many issues with stock froyo.

On the other hand the custom roms always had something missing for me and i can say that i tried all of them.

I only think that they should have released the gingerbread long time ago.

With this attitude they might be loosing a lot of customers, or not, because we are just a few thousand on this forums.

Thanks anyway for all the posts.;)

LG in The Netherlands released an official statement about the 2.3 update:

Eerder lieten we weten dat de Gingerbread update voor de Optimus Black en de Optimus 2X Speed op korte termijn beschikbaar zou zijn. Helaas hebben we te maken met onvoorzienbare omstandigheden, waardoor wij de update nog niet kunnen aanbieden aan onze klanten. Wij betreuren dit zeer en werken er hard aan om zo snel mogelijk de Gingerbread update beschikbaar te stellen. Helaas kunnen wij op dit moment nog niet met zekerheid zeggen wanneer Gingerbread definitief beschikbaar is voor alle toestellen.Wij bieden alle gebruikers onze welgemeende excuses aan voor de vertraging. Zodra Gingerbread beschikbaar is zullen

we onze klanten hiervan op de hoogte stellen.

It says, sorry, we promised you Gingerbread sooner but due to an issue we have hit we still cannot say when we can release it for the Optimus Black and 2x speed.
