Android Upgrade Report Card: LG

LG, oh LG. Following its embarrassing "F" in my second-quarter report card, I really hoped these guys would get their act together. But alas, no suck luck: The company still hasn't completed Android 4.0 upgrades for a bunch of phones promised second quarter upgrades -- the LG Eclipse, MyTouch Q, and Optimus Sol -- and has also failed to complete ICS upgrades for most of the phones promised third quarter upgrades: the LG Optimus 3D, Optimus Big, Optimus Black, Optimus EX, and Optimus Q2.

LG did complete partial ICS rollouts for a few devices, releasing the software to Optimus 2X users in South Korea in late August; to Optimus LTE users in Korea and Canada between June and August; and to Prada users in Germany and Italy in July. All of those phones were promised second-quarter upgrades (and still aren't finished).

Worst of all, LG hasn't said a word to its customers about what the hell is going on or whether any of these pending upgrades will ever be delivered. It makes me wonder: Is anyone over there actually still alive and/or awake?

Got a message from them too saying:

How the hell can they still believe in their dev team after all their junk? :laugh:
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
You obviously have been around the last 6 months... NVidia does not provide anyone with 'precompiled drivers'. They instead provide their associates (LG in this case) with all the documentation needed for making the 'drivers' (which isn't the right word btw). The kindest way to put it is that there is absolutely no way around this, its LG or nobody. Period.
[LG Optimus 2x] grimmyrippy:
And still "trying" to release until now
[LG Optimus 2x] TheBlackCat:
Ok, understood.

I thought that they (nvidia) provide the precompiled drivers.
[LG Optimus 2x] TheBo:
In my spare time i dropped them few words requesting the code, seems they are confirming

But there is always that word that worries me "MAYBE"

They don't have deadlines at LG? They are always saying maybe, should ... :confused: I have more deadlines at university that LG.

NVIDIA is worried about discovery of its theft of other companies' intellectual property.
[LG Optimus 2x] Adarkar:
ok, thanks... next time I'll look for a smartphone with chipset (inside) made by

TI > QUALCOMM > SAMSUNG :laugh:
[LG Optimus 2x] santalaus:
Ti anounced to go out of producing chips for phones an talbets.

So this all really sucks.

[LG Optimus 2x] Assassin44:
I heard that Samsung hasnt' provided good support recently, with one developer even leaving. So I would say avoid them for now, until things get better on their end. However, the thing with Samsung is that they are probably the best at providing official updates, as they have official Jelly Bean out. But, I think its not out in all regions yet. Correct me on that please!
[LG Optimus 2x] TheBo:
and sadly TI are not the best performer out there, so all in all personally i'd go with qualcomm
[LG Optimus 2x] grimmyrippy:
Samsung is not providing support on their exynos line up that's why cm developer for samsung device drop it but he said we can buy samsung but avoid samsung phone with exynos
[LG Optimus 2x] bakedpatato:
The official nvidia(and anyone else who doesn't open source drivers really) excuse is that they license IP that they don't have permission to release. In this case I bet it's the Silicon Image/Macrovision HDCP implementation and the h.264 decoder.

At the same time if you ask ARM for driver source for Mali they'll ask you to screw off as they charge a pretty penny for it(ARM makes its money off licensing IP) so keeping driver source isn't always just to keep a "competitive advantage".
[LG Optimus 2x] tablerone:
They just announced that will do the Exynos code Open Source.
[LG Optimus 2x] baen:
As open sourced as SnapDragon... It's better than now but nothing awesome
[LG Optimus 2x] Assassin44:
Why would we wait for official ICS after sources are released. As I understand, the sources are all we really need. We can get ICS and Jelly Bean working from it. While KLP (if called that) should still work.
[LG Optimus 2x] csunny95:
Gonna sell my 2x and go for a s2

Lg is actually licking every new optimus series customers(Lg India specificially) they have retweeted each and every tweet related to the newer optimus series.

Its sad to know ppl still dnt give a **** for the software support lg has:banghead:
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
Maybe so, but you can get pretty much support for the arm architecture. This has as far as I know not been that problem. Problem is that Nvidia won't even reply to mail. I've tried a few times (very polite) to have answers how and when the drivers would be released and if LG is stalling development. I just wonder where in the chain Nvidia stand.

So, I don't care if nvidia is the best SoC or gfx card producer. They still are a bunch of dumb-asses, even their support team.
[LG Optimus 2x] H€¥:
The only good thing is that lg is obliged to release sources before friday and this ****ing story will be over...after so many months I'm very sick about using gb or cm9 without hw acceleration and waiting...and I think lg is releasing sources after 2 weeks intentionally...they released sources for black 1 day after the update!!

[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
They aren't.
[LG Optimus 2x] vanmarek:
Who said they're obliged to release the source code before friday?
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
When you are serious, you are pretty clever :) Guess that partially applies tö me too. Come to think about it: think that applies to the majority here :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Micronuub:
They arent obliged to release anything , dont get that hopes up.

They have to release it eventually, yes.

But as is mentioned before there is no time limit in which they have to release it.

They e-mailed everyone who asked for it with almost the same answer : before friday 1-2 weeks.

But remember it's still LG we're talking about here so it can atleast take another 2-3 weeks :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] HerrKuk:
Are you sure? :p
[LG Optimus 2x] ssuds:
Cool story, bro!
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
DONT BUY LG DEVICES

Spread awareness recommend friends NO LG:silly:
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
Lets not make a big fuss out of it, its very simple. LG is obliged to release the source code eventually. Friday is a self imposed deadline that has nothing to do with any legal obligations.
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
Dead-line? Do you mean dead-LG or dead-hope? :silly:
[LG Optimus 2x] jabooka:
LG is NOT obliged to release anything on Friday...let alone SU660 ICS source...where have you get that idea? As mentioned few times before, they ARE obliged by GPL to release sources AFTER official ROM update release, BUT without any time limit...so, as said by many...seeing is believing :rolleyes:

I bet Arsenal will win a trophy before we get the official ICS for P990 :D

Football fans will get it.
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if RIM released Blackberry 10 before the P990 got any official LG update. Or even the SU660 sources.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Come on now, don't be silly :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Custom40:
I think Arsenal will win both Premier League and CL before ICS hits our O2X lol.

PS: I got so pissed when they lost against Norwich that I didn't get any sleep that night. Screw them, they have just lost another fan, sometimes they dissapoint me more than LG! :mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] Core Memory:
It is perpetually 1 second before LG releases the SU660 ICS source code.
[LG Optimus 2x] ktxed:
I want to believe...

Allow me to speculate: there will _never_ be any iCS update for O2X ;)

You people have to wake up, move on and get another phone, obviously not another LG fückup and most importantly not built around nVidia chips... unless you're a masochist. Sammy's S3 is not the best, but hey: it's a good start.

just my 2 cents :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] deewhy:
well technically there already has been, since the SU660 is also an O2X
[LG Optimus 2x] hicks12:
Yes thats right, we wont get ICS for the O2x even though ICS has been released for the korean O2x... well done there.

We are waiting for sources, LG have to release the sources at some point its just a question of when not if, since they were quick for the optimus black Id expect them to be quick with the O2x however I didnt expect the same 1 day performance, since all the responses seem to be this friday coming im pretty sure it will land around friday, if not then friday week as its not much to do :).

Just be patient, play games, mess around with your phones, do actual productive work be it a job or studies and time will go fast and we will get ICS then CM10 :).
[LG Optimus 2x] wonderwalker:
Go back to reddit and never return
[LG Optimus 2x] monti garbi:
There is 1 reason and 1 reason only LG realeased O2X ICS in Korea, and that is if you lose trust in Korea you are really ****ed !

The koreans are much harder in judgement and keeping their word then us in the west, generally

so if a korean company dont keep their promise in Korea they know they are out of business tomorrow.

Keeping a promise to us westeners is a whole other ballgame for them, and we you just play along.

We should of course work worldwide for an official ban for buying LG phones, starting now

Like the koreans would do if they were to be conned and duped by LG this way...
[LG Optimus 2x] bakedpatato:
I agree, Linus Tovalds called nvidia a bunch of f***** for the way they handle open source but it's not like Qualcomm, Samsung or ST is THAT much better. Only TI is any sort of open source friendly.

Any advice for the next phone?

I was thinking about s2 or galaxy nexus.

Galaxy nexus is a perfect one for me. But 16gb internal storage(without SD slot) is too small for me.

Therefore, s2 seems to be a better choice, but will this phone last long? Or will just non-upgradable due to lack of drivers like our 2x?

Pls give me some advice
[LG Optimus 2x] vEget7:
S2 is a great choice,go for it,it is updated to jb., :)
[LG Optimus 2x] defcomg:
the s2 is getting official jb next month its plentu upgradable

Imo the GNexus only beat S2 with its hd screen Res other than that specwise S2 destroys the nexus no?
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
Nexus 7 is Tegra 3.. reckon its doomed to a life of no updates?

Anyway, stoked for ICS/JB on this phone. Had it for 13 months now and Cm7 is getting stale! I can wait though, have my Nexus 7, and my o2x is tolerable at 1.5ghz on a fresh install.

Just ordered 3x new batteries for my 02X as well, my stock one is very tired, must be on over 300 charge cyles and I dont wana begin to count the times its been in the 40-50 deg c range lol..
[LG Optimus 2x] AIeX:
I got a P990 Optimus 2x recently, and I'm disappointed by the fact that there was no update to ICS 4.x until memento ... unfortunate ...:rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] rachit_rox:
Nexus 7 is not a result of a company like LG....therefore not doomed

As for the batteries...have u tried 3500 mah battery??
[LG Optimus 2x] lakersFan88:

[LG Optimus 2x] csunny95:
Everyone said TI OMAP is the most open sources. But why the lg optimus 3d is still sucking on Gingerbread?
[LG Optimus 2x] izzotsai:
Because it's LG.
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
Sorry to break in but i've tried the 3500mah battery from ebay. I'm pretty satisfied with this but as it needs another backcover dust is breaking in and i have to open it several times and do a "blowjob". It hasn't extended the chargelength so very much got just about 150-175% more Should be up to 233%. Adding the fact that it becomes a bit fat it's not that nice in the pocket.

My tip is the Gold battery 2680mah that don't demand a change in backcover. (search for "lg p990 gold battery" on ebay :) )
[LG Optimus 2x] RgN1:
Su660 V30 Bootloader

Hey guys,

Is the Bootloader of the Official LG SU660 ICS ROM locked?

Thanks & Cheers!
[LG Optimus 2x] TheBlackCat:
Yes. :(
[LG Optimus 2x] RgN1:
Thanks!

So we can expect similar treatment on the Official LG P990 ISC ROM, when it eventually turns up :(

Hopefully we should have CM10 before the LG P990 ISC ROM, making it redundant. :D

Cheers!

how long have u had ur 3500 mah battery? coz i've heard it starts to drop its charge after one year...also i was unable to find gold battery on ebay..any links? thanx for ur help
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
Well i've had my 3500mah battery for only about ½ year. there hasn't been any noticable performancedrop with this... yet :)

But at the moment (for about 3 weeks) i'm using the standard battery because i have to have two phones in my pocket. Work and private :) But as soon as ICS/JB is released i'll go back :D

Bought it for $8.59

Link for the gold battery:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/GOLD-2680MA...731?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e7264dd33

Warning! I've bought an 1800mah replacement battery on ebay a year ago and it was a bit junk... about 20 chargingcycles (allways up to 100% and begin charging never above 20%) the lifetime went from 1 ½ days to 2hours (price at that time $3.45)
[LG Optimus 2x] OptimusXX:
LG knows how to pull the customer leg (trust)...
[LG Optimus 2x] monti garbi:
Great choice both of them, S2 if you need external storage, Nexus if you're into latest android update

they may feel a little plastic and light but if you see beyond that they are real quality phones..

And no no, Samsung keep their update promises, JB due in november for S2. ICS for S2 rolled out in June.
[LG Optimus 2x] saysay75:
25 October... official ICS?

I read that the date is 25/10 for the official ICS on the international LG 2X... can someone confirm that?

it only took them 2 years to update it... not bad LG, not bad... :good:

I can confirm you that's not true.

The 25 is Thursday, not Wednesday...
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
Do you think it makes a difference? Wednesday or Thursday? I've heard the rumor too, but is that so promptly Wednesday? What source do you have of this?
[LG Optimus 2x] monti garbi:
Funny maybe, but total fake. The elevator riders are hired to act surprised, LG would not risk being sued for harrasment..

Wish we could sue them for lying when I think of it...

The same as the guy who said the 25 is the day:

The ether. AKA the mysterious and delayed LG dimension.
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:

The best we can do is to not buy an LG product EVER again...

Just want to know why even Samsung has dropped the support for galaxy s. But they still can get an official cm10

But why not our 2x?

Where did you read or see that?

[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
So a battery the same size but with a much greater capacity?

I'd say they just relabeled it. Or can you confirm an extremely improved battery life?

There are lots of "high capacity" batterys on ebay which in reality are the same old small ones with a higher number printed on..

:D :D :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
As said, i havn't got one yet but i did some (quick) research for gold batteries for my workphone. And they seem to work pretty well.
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
The guy who answers emails is, it doesn't necessarily means that everyone at LG is too (hopefully).
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
They probably was too flooded with e-mails regarding ICS. I understand them. They probably turned off every communication to the outside.

Might this be an indication that it will be released on Friday? We can only guess...

O' CM10 when r u ???
[LG Optimus 2x] karthik1der:
The subject of their email was "Open Source is out of office". There is just a single guy in their open source customer service dept?

[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
What do you all think?

* ICS for P990 before, after or at the same time as sources for SU660?

* What day/month/year?

* If RC has CM10 ready, will he release it the same second as the sources are out.

Don't want to wait more now!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] jabooka:
If you can't post source...than...I'm afraid that you are trolling...and it is really pathetic :rolleyes: If there is no source (link, quote...) then it never happened. On the other hand, when it comes to LG itself - anything but release is pure trolling :cool:
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
He won't. He has it working with the stock kernel - when the kernel source is out he will do some changes to the kernel first.

And update everything, he won't have an up-to-date CM10.
[LG Optimus 2x] galaxyfitankit:
I know it's day dreaming but what if lg plans to release jellybean for 2x...just in case to impress others about there flagship phones support
[LG Optimus 2x] Pascalwb:
I don't think so.

But LG always surprise me. Big company like LG, and guy from support going on holiday, and they don't have replacement for him. So they just don't answers emails for week.
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
Lol they launched 4x on ics optimus vu is on ics(not sure) and 2xgetting jb before their new phones....man you dream too high..:p
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
They won't. Personally I think they only release ICS as they have promised to update it which they are already regretting.

There's no way to piss of the LG 2x owners even more - if they would have announced "no ICS" it would have come to a huge outrage - but would have calmed down by now.
[LG Optimus 2x] everett_psycho:
If I was that guy I'd be so tempted to add all your email addresses to a special auto reply saying "I'm not here but I already told you Friday didn't I". I assume the open source department does t get that many requests for them to cover him but still, somehow they've gone down in my book with this
[LG Optimus 2x] solrakk6:
when the CM10 are out.. can i install all the future nightly and the stables on it when release?

News?

Hi my name is Martijn from the Netherlands.

I just called the LG helpdesk thay told me thay cannot say much about it but, he told me in a very short term LG is gonna let us know if we get an update or NOT. This will happen very likely by end of this month...

Sorry for my english btw:)
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
They have no idea whatsoever. Next time call them and ask if the world will really end in 2012 and you'll get the same answer.
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
Did you call the local helpdesk? They know less than this forum. If you want answers I guess it's better to prey to higher power then contact helpdesk. Sry mate, but that's the truth.

And a tip for the road martijn... don't give so much info of yourself. LG might come and degrade your phone to stock froyo v10a and insert a special bootlock that lock the system from rooting and upgrading to GB/ICS/JB :D :beer:

[LG Optimus 2x] Core Memory:
Although the label claims the battery is rated at 3500mAh (3.5Ah), it's actual capacity is no more than 3000mAh (3Ah) and probably less. The battery is twice as thick as the LG OEM battery which is rated at 1500mAh so, logically, the battery which is twice as thick would have a maximum rating of 3000mAh. Battery ratings are often wishful thinking.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sörnäinen:
sloppy and incompetent.
[LG Optimus 2x] Core Memory:
If anyone asks when the ICS source code will be released we should reply with "We will get back to you in 1-2 weeks".
