Bottom line, if you dont want to tweak or play with it, don't buy it. Bought mine last month and eversince no problems. Haven't installed CM but tried topogigi...I just went back to stock
[LG Optimus 2x] ludeguy:
ya i don't mind installing roms. how easy is it to go back to stock after flashing to CM7 and whatnot?
[LG Optimus 2x] JimmyLeeBillyBob:
If you want a reliable-out-of-the-box phone then you should not buy the LG O2X. For me it is the most unreliable phone I have ever had. Unfortunately custom rom's didn't help much. And LG won't RMA it because they insist the problems are software releated (firmware/baseband) and tell me I should wait for an update. Unfortunately, as you know by now, LG's update policy is a friggin' joke.

I will never buy an LG product again. I'm fed up with that company and the countless empty promises...

(Just my 2 cents.)
[LG Optimus 2x] ludeguy:
i dont understand why these phones reliability differ so much from each other (stock vs stock, mod'ed vs mod'ed). maybe i dont need to.
[LG Optimus 2x] rottenpenguin:
That's why I think it must be a hardware problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] ThePigletWhisperer:
Its probably hardware revisions.

New ones are more stable than old ones
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Very happy O2X user.

Hi, I bought my O2X two months ago for £270, I knew from the outset that the stock ROM was garbage. I bought the O2X because it was supported by Cyanogenmod.

Running Cyanogenmod it is a fantastic handset, superfast, a big but not too big screen. GPS locks in 2 seconds, plays all games, really great screen. If you are willing to install a custom ROM, which is very easy to do. Then great buy it. But buy it from a reputable supplier, not eBay, and pay with a credit card if you can. Then your ass will be covered.

If you just want stock out of the box performance, then be willing to pay nearly double, and buy a pure Google phone.

This is an excellent way phone number I never used but only problem is is with software.

Gps, wifi gets issues like Gps never fixs and wifi needs restart of phone for aleast every 3 days. As these are from software prospective
[LG Optimus 2x] Zlatan_61:
I bought my O2X in August and had no problems with it, wifi worked, gps worked perfectly, everything worked on stock 2.2 v10d.
[LG Optimus 2x] gulu2:
lol the only thing that holds me back from buying this phone is voodoo sound, until now i cant decide to get lg o2x or the galaxy i9000. if it wasnt for the tegra 2 + the wm8994 in o2x i think i would've gotten the i9000 already, still waiting for supercurio, not sure abt his progress with o2x's voodoo sound

I have the nightly on my Nexus S and going to be selling my good old Nexus S, because I picked up the SGII. I tried to to do the wipe resotre, but doesn't work just gets stuck. I powered off again and restored to the first back up I had before applying the Nightly ROM, but don't want to run the Factory Data Restore unless I know this won't mess anything else.

I am leaving the phone rooted so not worry about removing this.

[HTC Desire S] meinFreund:
Hey,

i still can't get GPS Navigation for my Desire with Desire S Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 ROM from proxuser. I like the ROM, definetly.. but i need the navigation. So i decided to go back to an official release or ROM. But i don't know which is the best for me.. i found:

32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08

and

RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.

By the way, i'm from germany..

in other words, i would like to have the latest official version of android and i hope that gps will work and the update to sense 3.0 is available for me.

if you can help me, many thanks for that!
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
the RUU u specified is the 1 to install if you want the sense 3 update and everything 100% stock;)
[HTC Desire S] meinFreund:
Ok,

just to make this safe :)

you mean RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.

Do I also have to flash the Radio ? And what is AU ?

Do I flash the ROM same as costum roms?
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
yes that is the RUU to flash.

but before you do that u need to be sure you have bootloader ENG HBOOT-0.98.2000

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113820

then you run the RUU.exe file on your pc and follow the on screen instructions.

this will return you completely to stock:D
[HTC Desire S] mimirom:
Hi meinfreund,

What are the problems you are having with your navigation? I've been on VoidU and now MIUI and got my navigation running pretty well. Actually MIUI seems to be incredible with it's assisted GPS implemented settings.
[HTC Desire S] :
I also had gps problems on certain 2.3.5 roms. Couldn't get the gps icon to even appear in the notification bar. No error messages when turning gps on though. Sound like your problems?

No need to go back to stock. Try Coredroid or CM7. I can confirm both work with gps. Also perhaps try LeeDrOid. Very close to stock look and feel but with some nice tweaks. Gps also working there too.
[HTC Desire S] meinFreund:
the icon appears and i got gps far outside the city, but when i grabbed it the signal was lost. Had to put it in front of the car to get the signal, very sensitive. I resetted gps data many times but that didn't change anything.

Before i started flashing ROMs, it worked pretty fine, in the cities too.

Actually I think that all the ROMs that I tried are not faster or better than the Stock I had before. So i'm a bit confused about what doing next?!

LeedrOid and Coredroid are from August. Aren't they a bit outdated?

Does an update of the Base and Kernel might has positive effects to the gps?

Because ther is an update for Desire S Official Sense 3.0 - [GRJ90] [2.3.5] OTA 2.10.401.4

@mimirom:

I tried MIUI too, same problem here :D
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
For the signal reception ou have to try another radio.img
[HTC Desire S] blindndumb:
If you want navigation working why dont you use another stable ROMs like Virtuous Unity, VoidU1.1a etc. etc..

Reverting back to stock is something unusual after rooting. There are lot of candidates , Just pick one and hit the base..Keep Hitting:p:p
[HTC Desire S] meinFreund:
I tried several Roms, always the same probs with gps.. thats the reason why i consider flashing back to stock.. i'd like to stay in costoum, but without Navigation i cant use it.
[HTC Desire S] boris0228:
thanx a lot
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Sry for the dump question but is it now a desire or desire s? If it is an desire your lucky that the only problem you got is GPS ;)

Swyped from my Desire S
[HTC Desire S] meinFreund:
Yo, it is an desire S :)

Read that Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 will be released soon, can anyone say how long it usually takes to get a release of a new version such as ICS 4?

Would like to test that as well :D
[HTC Desire S] meinFreund:
Hey,

I now flashed the Cyanogenmod 7.1 and have big trouble with that.

GPS does not work as well as with the other ROMS (GPS fix can't even "fix")

But there are some more difficulties.. i cant call or get called by someone, the Homebutton does not work (after flash, it worked.. but after shutdown it doesn't anymore)

Apart from these problems, this ROM is very fast and nice looking!

Does one of you have an idea how long it takes until a shipped ROM of ICS is available when its released?
[HTC Desire S] peters.:
Hi I have also cm7.1 since stable release and not having your problems. Just csipsimple has some isues. Did you do wipe cache and data? Did you restore via titanium? I restored BT pairings and had to begin since clean system, cause BT didn't work correctly. I would give a try to flash radio.
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
in that case you should consider about the bad weather that can affect GPS receiver.

so you can try later whenever the weather becomes better?

In sytem/media (the same folder as the bootanimation.zip), go to audio/notifications and put it there.

as to what to name it. the bootanimation.zip will look for a specific file i think, so whatever the readme of the .zip file says.

you will have to use root explorer.

[Motorola Photon 4G] JodeySalazar:
What do you name it to differentiate it from every other notification sound?
[Motorola Photon 4G] TexasRebel:

[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
exactly. did you read my post? i believe i stated that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] GPhoenix:
The desc.txt does not list a filename for the sound but just merely to put an "s" to indicate there is sound. Do you or anyone else here know the filename to use? For the Hero it was android_audio.mp3 but for Motorola(s) especially the Photon, I haven't come across any specifics as to what the filename should be.
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
Not sure. i just know that when i changed to the Bionic boot animation, the desc.txt pointed to a file named Bionic.ogg. I just assumed that the desc.txt always gave the name of the sound file it needed.

And they took the Android's roller blind notification.

Apple we're great for kicking the arse of the smartphone back in 2007, but they have fallen behind. Quite disapointing really. If they don't come up with something more "Magical" next year, they might become the new Nokia?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MrPhilo:
In graphic department the iPhone 4S wins even at a higher resolution (iPad for instance beats all other smartphone and tablets even if they have lower resolution).

Second it wins by more apps also iOS5 is pretty cool although it copied some Android features I guess. But they made it look more sexier, like the notification and widgets look alot better on iOS.

But the downside would probably be it being down clocked to either 700-800mhz since the iPad 2 is at 900Mhz.

But Samsung Galaxy S2 wins everything else

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fasst:
Hmmm…..

Again some people bash out against Iphone and say hallelujah to the SG2. I don’t, to neither side.

But my personal view is that Apple has created a product that attracts tens of millions of people. And I believe that the majority of the buyers of the Iphone just want a telephone simple in use, and to show to the outside world that they are trendy.

Not everyone phone users are interested in flashing and tweaking, like us reading XDA. If people want to by a quite expensive Iphone, let them do so. I have been doing it and maybe I will do it again someday, but not the 4S.

Right now there is two SG2 and one TAB 10.1 in our family. And I’m not impressed by the build quality of none of them. On the SG2’s, random boots, loose home button. And the TAB with Newtons rings that has to be put in the freezer for 5-10 minutes, as a temporary fix. Never have I been using the freezer for anything other than food and ice cubes, before now.

Well, they have been sent for repair today, and I hope the TAB shelf in the freezer can be used for other things when I get it back.

So why did I buy Samsung you ask? Well, I bought these units within 45 days and I didn’t know it would be so many problems with 3/ 3 Samsung products. But I give Samsung a chance and hope they will be okay when I get them back.

Some years ago, in a social event, I met the national sales director of a Japanese car company. After a few drinks he started bashing out on the quality of the cars on his biggest competitors.

One other person asked this sales director if he regularly test drive these competitors’ cars? The sales director hesitated a few seconds before he answered ‘Yes of course!’ . But no one believed his answer, and I think almost everyone present didn’t feel he was credible.

And neither do I, when people are bashing out on products that never have been in their hands.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pbrown77:
Love my sgs2 but it appears graphics wise the 4gs will trump the s2, based off how well the ipad 2 performs. Not something I care about that much because I don't use it for games or graphic intensive operations, but I know some people on here will secretively wish for that kind of performance.

If those battery stats are right it looks like it will trump the s2 in that department.

Although I wouldn't personally own an iphone, mainly due to the hype being over the top, anyone denying this will challenge or beat the s2 in a few departments is in plainn denial.

A lot of iphone users had already bought the thing before knowing what the specs were... Mmmm no comment. Mind you I'm sure there are some samsung users out there that would do the same :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vnvman:
Hmm that's pretty boring because actually nothing changed (for my kind of user at least) : iOS is still the best platform for games and ease of use, Android is still the best platform in terms of actual choice of the hardware and freedom of use. An iPhone will work the exact same way with a dual core processor, the only thing that may change is the quality of the games, which i do not care about since i don't care about gaming on a phone in general.

It's also kind of interesting to see this pathetic attempt of Apple at convincing iFans that they don't need a bigger screen, good luck with that...no wonder Apple shares dropped by a nice 4% just a couple minutes after the 4s was revealed :rolleyes:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tom-Helge:
Well first of all, i will start by saying learn how the different GPUs are working before any of you guys here are speaking.

Yeah, like OMG, iPhone 4S gets higher FPS than Galaxy S II in some games and benchmarks.

And on top of that, you totally fail to see that higher numbers doesn't always means it's the best.

Now, let me explain. I will be using this picture as a reference.

In this GLBenchmark test, iPhone 4S gets 73.1 FPS while Samsung Galaxy S II only gets 42.5 FPS.

The thing here most of you Apple boys don't understand is that iPhone 4S and iPad 2 doesn't use this thing called Vertical Sync.

Since them both have over 60 FPS in those tests, then it means they have no Vertical Sync on.

But the Galaxy S II always use Vertical Sync. That's enabled all the time.

And if you know how Vertical Sync works, then you know that by just enabling Vertical Sync, you will automaticly lose 50% of the FPS you normally gets and you will be FPS capped on 60 FPS.

So in thise case where Galaxy S II have 42.5 FPS (with Vertical Sync on), then it really means that it will have 85 FPS with the Vertical Sync off like iPhone 4S. iPhone 4S only have 73.1 FPS here.

Then iPhone 4S have a little higher resolution over Galaxy S II, so it means that the performance on Galaxy S II and iPhone 4S are about equal.

BUT...... because it's possible to overclock Galaxy S II to 1.6 GHz (it's not possible to overclock the iPhone 4S), then i'm pretty sure that the performance on the Galaxy S II will smoke the crap out of the iPhone 4S.

So before you can learn those things, you shouldn't really be in those topics to begin with.

EDIT: And also, LOL, iPhone 4 / 4S is announced as a gaming phone. But hahahaha, give me a freaking break, gaming on a lol 3.5 inch screen is as funny as watching 1080p Blu-Ray movies on an 17-inch monitor while sitting 1 meter from the monitor.

The quality of games is sadly much better on iOS than any other mobile platform which sucks but it's true.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] empiire:
When you see Dungeon Defenders at 60 FPS on a 4.3" qHD screen compared to Infinity Blade on a 3.5" Retina Display screen, you'd see how much potential Android has. If only all games ran like Dungeon Defenders. They both use Unreal Engine III as well. I just can't wait for more high quality games that run Unreal Engine or something of that nature, to come out for Android. Too bad the iPhail wins for now. :(
