Funny how people spin things.

LG comments on the O2x... and says nothing about the G2x. LG hasn't supported the O2x at all. We at least got an update... but their track record doesn't look good.

The site says the O2x was released before the Update Alliance... but the G2x was released after.

Optimistically, I'd rather them just come out and say "Yea or Nah" so no one is waiting around for nothing. If they were announcing phones that weren't going to get it, then they would have included the G2x in the list... which were didn't. So we should ASSUME we WILL get it. The G2x is honestly a pretty hot phone if LG would just support the damn thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
Well thank God for dev like cm! I think they should let cm take care of all phones and the manufacturer make just the hardware.

Like LG should give all the drivers and stuff to cm7. Hell I would buy a phone that came with cm7 as stock. I am getting an update everyday with the nightlies!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] sburroughs7:
That's what frustrating to me the lack of support for this phone. This was my first LG Phone and at times it seems like they don't give a damn about even though this was the Flag ship phone when purchased back in May.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
While what you say is 100% true, we are lacking proper kernels to fully support the new features. Froyo and GB weren't that different but ICS is a complete rebuild based off Honeycomb. Having official support DOES have its benefits.

I'm going to hold my insults until LG makes an actual statement, not some d-bag acting like they're LG :/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
Anyone bother to read the original story? I hate articles that make statements yet provide not one source. Also this article is about the

Optimus 2x. The writer of this story did not know that the G2x recieved the GB update so I'd take this with a grain of salt and a hearty **** you to Chris Davies the writer of this crap story.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] duckjob:
I tend to be a pretty libertarian thinker for the most part, and would agree that the occupy guys are off there rocker for the most part, however it is not unreasonable to think that when you buy a device that is being billed and marketed as a flagship device and game changer would include googles next big software update, especially when google says it should support it no problem. Vote with your dollars.

Of course this is all moot if LG does the right thing and says they will release it, or at least releases the software needed to the dev community
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Oh, that changes everything. All you had to do was say Slashgear and I would have disregarded all this.

This is the original source probably.

Facebook comment was later deleted. And they only wrote about P990 NOT THE ACTUALLY G2x

At this point rumour has been spread thru various sites. Damage has been already done whether G2x will get ICS or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Sei911:
First and last LG phone for me whether this is true or not, i'm glad CM and MIUI is available on this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I could care less if they update it or not, I just want them to release source and drivers and leave it up to the Devs. After that, we have we want over at XDA... I have plenty of friends that don't even understand what I'm talking about when I tell them they should be getting an update soon on their device. They just ask "why would I want one, it works fine" Most don't really care until they see my phone running MIUI or CM7 with its bells and whistles. That turned into a rant haha, basically I just want them to do a proper full update, (camera, BT, Kernel, GPS) complete rebuild and everything working and fully functional and they way they should release it with full cosmetic and software functionality, if not then release source and drivers for the XDA Devs to do it for them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thaitu:
yes, no ICS for G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
I think Mr. Hong means they haven't finished testing Gingerbread on all of their handsets.

Now back paddle, LG.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
1 more time

get over it already. i have seen so many of these posts by you.

i sais... read again....the have lost many sales and respect with the g2x if they would release ics for it many would forget and it would sell more products in the future. i never expected ics from lg or tmobile we only got gb because it was sold with the promise of it.

spending some time to put out a ics rom for the g2x would cause more sales of future phones thus wouldnt be throwing good money after bad.

i dont think im entitled to it. I am stating what as a business stand point they should do to try to fix their reputation.

what i was entitled to was a 100% working phone and its not what many received.

I am conservative and never recieved 1 hand out from anyone and wish welfare was desolved tommorow. this is not the same thing and if you dont understand that you have a serious problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
Seriously? Do you really have that little understanding of how the phone industry works? LG sure does make money when they sell new phones. There's only a little problem. If they don't update to ICS its not like all of their customers, who are locked into plans, are going to go and rush to buy a new phone. The few people who do that are the people who probably root their phones anyway.

Meanwhile, when someone IS eligible for an upgrade, why would they choose to spend their money on a phone from a company that didn't support their phone for more than a few months. LG can certainly make that foolish decision but when their competitors are putting out updates then its a pretty dumb business decision to leave your customers high and dry. Its not going to get you many or any immediate sales because noone is going to drop their phone and go buy a new one. It will cost customer loyalty though in the long run.

If they released all their drivers so that CM could easily port ICS then that'd be wonderful and I wouldn't care if there was an official ICS release. But since they're not going to do that we have to hope that what we get will work well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
exactly

thank you. thats exactly what i was trying to say.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Yuhfhrh:
Well if LG doesn't think this will hurt them they are far from wrong. We have the power here, we are what shows up when someone does a Google search on this phone. We are the ones who will tell our friends to NEVER BUY ANY LG CRAP again! It will bite them in the butt, and hard. I will swear to never buy an LG product for the rest or my life (I'm only 19) and to tell everyone to avoid them at all costs, and make fun of anyone who owns any POS LG device. They can't just screw over their customers and think everyone will just forget about it. It just wont work that way and they really need to get things organized for their own sake.

Rawrrrrrrrr I feel like bashing my head in the wall lol :)

???????????????

I am the one that posted that at LG have no idea what fail your talking about. and it wasnt a repost from here it was copied from one of the other sites that had it shown as the facebook response thats why there is a grey around it thats how it was on that site when i copied it.

let me know what this fail is about because it looks posted fine to me???

im serious though let me know because i have no idea.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rsalina9:
Wow even though i use my gs2 as my daily handset it still pisses me off
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
Already got my GSII not sure its even worth it to sell my G2X only get a couple hun for it. Think I'll keep it just to play games on? What a disaster, the phone could've been amazing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jghidalgo307:
This is the last LG PRODUCT that I buy from them period. Because a sales company should not only be about selling their product but also about supporting it as time goes by.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] clninja:
Its not even about the lack of ics for me....its the fact that they have not put out even 1 fully functioning rom for this phone including the one it came with....

I dont want handouts but i want what i initially paid for...i sold my g2x today and bought a sgs2 . Never again will i buy a lg phone or any phone that uses an nvidia chip
[T-Mobile LG G2x] un.droid:
we wont get an official ICS thats for sure, but the devs already working on a custom ISC based rom. but yeah, will never buy LG product again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ironadd:
We know that the nature of the Android market is extremely competitive.. There seems to be a new flagship phone out every week and for sure LG's next flagship will come with ICS. But why would we consider giving our money to LG again when you know they have no after sale care.

Yeah LG does not owe us anything, but it would be smart for them to hook us up. Like stated before the Android market is extremely competitive. Lots of choices. Karma is Real. And until LG wakes up they will never get our money again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] te_quiero_forever_girl:
Middle fingers + middle toes to LG !!! The G2x can still make it through at least 2 more updates from Google, but it's not gonna make it through those retarded software engineers at LG, where Lies r Good.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] butterbeam:
Enough said... Guess I'm looking into jumping ship unless there will be a stable rom come out with it.

Just got 2 off ebay. Wow 600 bucks down the toilet. Shocked. Haven't even arrived yet
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noobletsausecakebbq:
Having all this fancy hardware doesn't help if there is no software for it. Tegra 2 was just a gimmick, a marketing ploy to get us to buy their ****. Might as well went with a nexus device. Also **** LG I wont buy a lightbulb from them ill use candles instead or be in the dark.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
That is the solution really, none of us ever buy LG products ever again, and we tell everyone we know to never buy their products. I am a firm believer in Karma,and it is coming for LG ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I think that's a given. The sad part is they could have saved themselves by spending some bucks and hiring away some of Samsung's h/w and s/w engineers - they're both in Korea. They're a multi-billion dollar company so it's not like they don't have the resources to get high-end phones right if they wanted to. I thinks it's their pride and ego that's sent them in to some form of denial that they think they're actually doing this right. After my G2X experience I wouldn't buy one of their products if it was half the price of a competitor.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
What sucks is I blew my upgrade on this phone. I am going to call retention and see if they will allow me to buy a different device at the standard contract renewal price. What really really sucks is I just changed jobs and my new employer only uses BES and so it looks like it's going I'm heading back to crapberry world.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
*sigh*

I was seriously going to eat the $50 and take buyer's remorse. Then the phone (that I've owned for 3 days) fell out of my pocket and got ground into concrete, giving me two huge scratches near the bottom of the screen. So now I have a damaged phone they won't take back on buyer's remorse due to a scratched screen. AND I have to put up with having a scratched screen that's not worth paying the insurance deductible to replace... *sigh*... ... none of my previous phones ever got a scratch ever. This isn't a good start to G2X ownership.

Here's hoping the backpedaling results in ICS.

This is where speculation first originated the Optimus 2x would not be updated to ISC:

http://www.facebook.com/Lifesgoodpage/posts/291113000916687

LG deleted their post and responded with this message:

Apparently they're now saying it (Optimus 2x) might get ICS. :confused:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
Word on the streets is....Slashgear is not a reputable reference. Life wisdom teaches...dont believe everything you hear.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] besthijacker:
Meh. I will believe when I see ICS actually come out. For now its just bunch of trolling:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
You know ICS isnt out on anything right now and we are acting like we are missing something.

We will get it because of CM. Who else is gonna give it us? LG?

LG is working on thier new phones that will have ICS, they will not put any effort into this phone anymore. The idea is simple to understand because MOTO has done this to alot of their phones too!

Its like this, you make a phone, sell it, then promise there will be an update, postpone it, make a new phone, sell it, and still promise to include an update for the older phone but then there is a newer Update out. SO now WTF? Well we make a new phone and sell that because by that time, the first phone is obsolete !

CM is all we need or a new phone!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Projext:
well thats sucks i thought about purchasing this phone because its kinda cheap phone(price) for the hardware you get with it (tegra 2, 8mp...) well im not going to buy it now for sure
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barzell2010:
this all too sudden.. i just got my g2x on wendsday i'll just wait and who's really telling the truth. mine was shipped with 2.3.3 and i love it no problems what so ever. all we got to go on is coming from facebook and slashgear ..lol. LETS HEAR SOMETHING FROM TMOBILE, LG, AND MAYBE FROM NVIDIA
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phatpaw:
I get the feeling that the majority of the posters in this thread are in no shape or form going the custom ROM route? I have been on CM 7 for 3 months and would never go back to the stock build. My wife is still on the stock build and for what she uses the phone for, has few complaints. CM and others will have ICS builds for the G2x and they are going to be great. Hang tight. LG may have their heads up their rear ends, but this phone will continue on in a good state for some time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Crgm77:
Well i never had any major problems with my G2X, but this will be my first and Last LG Phone. No More LG phones for me in the future.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] servbotx:
This was on the Facebook page after they yanked the post:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] uzzi88:
Later on they said:

http://www.facebook.com/LGMobile/posts/298000743544586

Best case scenario: LG and NVIDIA provide updated drivers for the Optimus 2x and the G2x and update the phones to ICS 4.0. Everyone is happy.

Worst case scenario: LG and NVIDIA do nothing and CM is forced to build an ICS ROM based on the outdated drivers. The customs ROMs will never be able to provide complete functionality and the phones are never able to reach their full potential.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eunkipark92:
I saw this coming and traded my g2x for nexus s. Best choice I've ever made.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BiigDragon:
just when i thought i would have this phone for a while oh well guess i gotta move on soon
[T-Mobile LG G2x] clninja:
Whats with all of the people here saying that they just bought the G2x? I cant even believe they still sell this phone.... and even more so i cant believe that people still buy it after all of the bad press it has gotten..do people not do research before buying a phone? If your buying it with the intent to root it right away.. and get it for a really cheap price then i can see it being justified.

i'm sorry but if you are one of the people who "just bought this phone last week" and are complaining about it not getting ICS you have nobody to blame but yourself. Do your research before you buy.

Personally.. i held on to this phone untill yesterday. i LOVED it, but i need a fully functioning phone and lets face it LG and NVIDIA are not going to release any drivers or updates that will be worthwhile. I'll bet it they release a ICS update it will be on a GB kernel. They are a joke. I couldnt be happier with my switch to the SGS2, im going to give samsung a second chance after being a previous Vibrant owner because they have stepped up and redeemed themselves from what i have seen. The G2X is LGs Behold2 and Vibrant....just as badly executed. Maybe someday in the future LG will redeem themselves from this mistake
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Waldano:
Lol didn't know that phones w/o ICS became not functioning paper weight :p and what've heard LG gonna release ICS update as a kernel free android 5.0 :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] clninja:
Its on a half assed gingerbread Rom that still has issues and is running a froyo kernel.....i dont consider that fully functional.

Also....without ics any dual core phone isnt really fully functional because they dont use the processor to there true potential.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Seihaku:
The User Experience is a non-issue on the G2X since it simply runs stock. Unless they're talking about getting their hardware working off their subpar drivers and having properly utilization of ICSs multi-core support.

The O2X may still be SOL though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Cant say I didnt see this coming. Coming from the Vibrant I had high hopes for this phone. Not that it isn't a great phone.. Just lacks official support. Lesson learned.. It'll be Nexus devices from now on for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] seangprice:
Would I like an official ICS update? yes! But if this phone does not get official support It's still a great phone. With any new technology regardless if it's a phone, computer etc.. you're always going to be behind the power curve. It sucks that LG drops support so quickly but every manufacture leaves something in the dust. I'll enjoy and use my G2x for a year and see what comes out next summer/fall. Quad cores could be around the corner or perhaps a better Android OS release.

As consumers we're responsible for our purchases, not the company. Enjoy your phone and if you can't, move on. I certainly don't have the money to jump ship so I'm going to get the most out of my G2x. :)

LG really dropped the ball on this phone. I'm not holding my breath for them to release ICS. I have faith in the CM team for that. Otherwise, I've learned my lesson. My next phone will be a nexus!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Scumbag Inc.:
I just have to jump in here gentlemen.

**ICS was only unveiled 2 weeks ago. Its not even out yet. If there is a delay it is because of Nvidia. Our phones are very different than anything else on the market. As alluded to earlier, they still run circles around anything else released since. I have heard no official word yet, just internet rumors. As far as I know the Transformer Prime isn't even shipping with ICS. Moore's law is at the point for mobile devices where hardware is far out advancing software. These are the worlds first dual core phones and there are going to be some hiccups with any bleeding edge device. I bought mine in September and it has performed flawlessly.

**As far as source code goes, if the Transformer 1 gets ICS we are golden. Just think about that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lanlee212:
Or the zoom and Droid 2x moto my beat Asus. Moto is our best bet BC google is going or has bought them. I think only google could pressure nivida for support. Most if not all (expect the screen bleed) of our problems is lack of support between LG and Nivida. Seems like our phone was proof of concept for nivida so they could sell it to Moto to move more chips. Don't think nivida will ever give us the support we need.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Scumbag Inc.:
The mother of all evil is speculation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] peacekeeper05:
Regardless, G2x is still one of the best phone out there. I love it. It's fast. It's just sad that the people at LG are incompetent and unreliable. They already know their mobile business is sinking fast and yet why are they acting like nothing happened.

LG should focus on the user satisfaction and quality of their products seriously.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Scoobyracing03:
This is why I'm getting fed up with android phones in general. If you don't buy a new one every 6 months your left with an outdated lacking any updates OS. From the Vibrant to this phone. Unless something major changes with android support from the phone manufactures I'm done supporting android devices.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dligon:
REALLY so what are you going to do then blackberry, apple. maybe the g2x or many other android phones may not officially get ics but im willing to bet that there will be ics on the phones with the assistance of the great devs we have here. so go your merry way and enjoy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
In a way I understand where the guy was coming from... iOS and BB all get the same updates cause it is made by one company where as android has 4 or more companies making android devices. Google can't just make a general for all devices update... we actually have to wait for the phone manufacture to do something... and without the drivers and source from Nvidia then the devs can only do so much. Its sad that we have to hope that they are still gonna be around so that our dual core phones wont be behind in a version of android. But like I say only buy the phone as is, and don't expect any updates in the future.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jblah:
i think its just LG. they don't have a good dev team for this sort of software update. They should outsource the dev part of it to external companies while they maintain the hardware. but it looks like they are not willing to do that. This will probably be my first/last LG phone. I'm going to samsung next. atleast they had the smarts to get the creator of cyanogenmod.
