Haha, I'm sure even the most expensive plans in the EU will still have far more value than any Canadian plan :)

Our biggest three carriers charge for caller ID - so if you don't pay what averages to $7-$8/month extra, every incoming call will be unknown. Even if the caller is inside your contacts, his name will not be visible on the incoming call, because the carrier blocks the number from getting through and being matched to your address book. And if you venture out of your "local calling area", you start running up long-distance charges on calling. Even within the same province. As an example, Toronto and Waterloo are less than 150 km apart, yet if you use your Toronto number in Waterloo you start racking up 40-cent-a-minute charges. I'm honestly amazed the greedy carriers don't apply this to SMS and data.

In other words, you pay $50-$60 per month on your smartphone, and you STILL have to pay extra to see who is calling you, or to use your phone in another part of the SAME COUNTRY. And that's with only 500 MB of data allowance - 1 GB or more is extremely expensive. Before I got my P990, I was paying $58/month for 200 minutes and unlimited SMS and 500 MB data and no voicemail. Before 13% tax.

Every once in a while, there are promotions that include caller ID and a few other extras (more minutes or long distance) that should have been there in the first place for free - but only for the duration of the contract. It's ridiculous that my ability to have caller ID and long distance for free is considered a "sweet deal" when even in America it's a given. You can buy a phone in Los Angeles, and use it in New York without any charges. No such thing here (mostly). As for how much I currently pay, it's $40 for 150 minutes and 250 MB of data and long distance and unlimited SMS and a useless dumbed-down voicemail.

We have some small players that operate on the AWS 1700 frequency - they have things like $29/month for unlimited everything (even data) and with long distance and voice mail included. The catch? Awful indoor reception and limited coverage. And a pretty limited phone selection due to the AWS 1700 requirement.

Ok, enough ranting about Canadian wireless plans. Time to think about the SU660 sources and how much I need them on my P990!

Anyone using the leaked P990 test ICS as a daily driver so far?
[LG Optimus 2x] txarito:
spain joke

as I can see we're bored....

Vodafone Spain:

Data: 1Gb Hsdpa (7,2), after at 64 Kb - 9€

Calls: 0,02€/min and 15 cts call establishment

sms: 0,1 €

and No rolling contract.

Ahhh, our tax is 21%

But this is only avaliable, if you try to go to another company :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] everett_psycho:
After that I will never complain about a tariff again, Canada certainly does get a raw deal. If you play it right with good deals from time to time in the UK it is possible to get deals for nothing, there was one on a deal site where over 2 years with the cash back you could come out £20 up with a free cheap spare phone.

Anyway before the hulk arrives....its night time in Korea so no ics today, but tomorrow is magic Wednesday so here's hoping :thumbup:

STOP TALKING ABOUT PLANS!!!!

Make your own thread or talk through PM. Some People here want to stay ON Topic!
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
I guess Canada needs more competition enforcement laws/government bodies... it certainly looks like your telecom operators are running a cartel over there! A very sweet cartel :)

[LG Optimus 2x] jabooka:
ROFLMAO...you just made my day...and seriously - stop *****ing about OT - this thread is OT (hint: check tags), LG is OT, universe is OT (hint: 2nd law of thermodynamics)...so anyone who can't stand out current OT should probably read another thread or have a go at this little exercises :cowboy:
[LG Optimus 2x] g0at:
Wow, some real horror stories here about price plans.. I honestly thought we got a pretty raw deal here in the UK - with the distinct lack of 12month contracts (even though it's EU directive now)

As for me - my 18month contract expired last week, I'm free!! Have ported over to GiffGaff. £10 a month for unlimited data, unlimited texts and something like 250minutes of voice; on a 'rolling 1month contract' - as someone else explained above.

I'm definitely going to buy my next phone out-right and stick to a 1month rolling contract plan.

edit: sorry for going OT, got swept away with the rest of you lot!
[LG Optimus 2x] xp99:
It's not google. It's the gpl that the linux kernel is released under. That license requires the source code changes to be released.
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
It's ok, you can still complain about your tariffs on anything not involving cell phones. Canada may be the worst country in the world to own a cell phone, but the cost of most other things is a bargain compared to just about anywhere in the EU. We Canucks still whine, because we have America next door with even lower prices :) I've been to London, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Munich, and suffice to say, I didn't do any real consumer shopping for good reason :)

By the way, forgive my ignorance, but where did this "Wednesday" meme come from? Anyone care to point me in the right direction?

I have decided - if we don't get sources for the SU660 by Christmas, I'm going to grab something off Kijiji or Ebay. $250 for a HTC One S looks tempting as hell.
[LG Optimus 2x] PaKii94:
well if u put it taht way... i am on the non contract plan right now.... prepaid for the family would cost more. if u use same service for 2 years without contract for the same price as it would be with contract, ur not really saving money. I have been using tmobile for 6 years now. it would be more beneficial for me to get the savings from contract even if i dont add other stuff or upgrade my phone
[LG Optimus 2x] Beorn1:
As long as we're still OT (as there is nothing new anyways unfortunately):

Here in Israel there was a change in the regulation recently, and most of the companies offer a plan of unlimited calls, text and internet (in some of the companies you only get 1-3 GB) for about 20 Euro per month, and you can disconnect whenever you want.

There is also an additional plan, which I have, in which I pay about 2 cent for 1 minute/sms/MB, and it's also post-paid, but like the other plans, I can also disconnect or switch to another plan whenever I want.

Of course some of the companies still try to sell contracts for 2 years together with some phones, but I think that now almost no one makes those contracts anymore.
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
Man, you guys could probably buy new handsets with a few months worth of the price difference between your plans and the average Canadian plan.

For those who got their O2X's on contract - are you able to pay some sort of upgrade fee to grab a new phone without having to end your contract? If I paid such monthly rates, I'd do so in a heartbeat!

My blood pressure is going through the roof whenever I think of LG... I really would be happier if they had just honestly said "ok guys, we won't release ICS" like HTC did with their Desire HD, rather than making the promise and going past the deadline without any word, and then not even admitting that non-Korean regions aren't getting the update.
[LG Optimus 2x] Micronuub:
Wednesday is just the most expectable day for an update or a day to release a ***** Source :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
So most android updates are usually delivered on Wednesdays? Lol, I thought there would be a more interesting origin for this meme.
[LG Optimus 2x] everett_psycho:
I know the tariff stuff is very ot and the mods might go nuts when they see it all but if I was paying as much as some of you guys I'd be even more hacked off with lg than I am over this update, it explains why a lot of people on here are so angry. The o2x was lgs top phone when i got it but the reason I went for it was it was only £250 compared to the sgs2 and and HTC sensation that were still at £450. Seemed a no brainer then but in hindsight I should have worked out why it was cheaper. I'd be fuming if I'd taken the 2 year contract at £30 a month and been stuck with this thing for at least another 10 months
[LG Optimus 2x] debido666:
Duh.

Wednesday, 6:66am.
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
wednesday is the only day the devs feel like working
[LG Optimus 2x] PaKii94:
idk if its different for other countries but in US even if ur in contract, if u wanna switch phones u can buy it seperately and just switch sim cards. but the downside to that is u gotta pay full price and its not subsidized. thats whtat i did. came from gravity touch to g2x cause it was cheap used. there was atleast 150$ difference b/w sII and g2x and i didnt really like what sii and htc offered

also iknow its OT but there is nothing much to discuss until the sources are released. this is just idle chitchat :)
[LG Optimus 2x] fabiodelaplazia:
wednesday december... 2014? lol
[LG Optimus 2x] cosmicvibes:
Well here in the UK, I've always found that when the end of your contract is up - you'll be offered a new phone for at a lower price in return for renewing your contract - but if you just threaten to leave and go elsewhere, they'll usually give it to you for free or near-as at least.

One of the benefits of having competition I guess. Nonetheless I'm also heading to GiffGaff once the contract is up.

To keep in slightly on topic - if the source release does indeed lead to the release of a fully working (and stable) CM10 (or other JB rom) then that's almost like a new phone to me. While I look at hi-res screens and quad-core with a little envy, I just don't think it'd be worth the upgrade at the moment. Better to wait another year then it will feel like a real upgrade. For all our moaning over the delays (and rightly slow) if we end up with a decent JB rom at the end of all this, we ain't doing too bad.
[LG Optimus 2x] PaKii94:
yeah for the price i got it for, this phone running cm10 would be a steal and its already so smooth with the hackfests. I cant wait till there is no stuttering in games/images, chrome, vid cam and a decent battery life
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
Since we are all OT. I got mine for ~ £20p/m (free phone) inc cashback on a 2year contract (unlimited data,text,600min). When I got mine the Sensation and S2 weren't even announced. Got 5 months left my contract, and will be pushing them to give me one of the new Nexi for the same price. It works out cheaper than getting the phone for £250-300 and paying £10p/m for the usage.
[LG Optimus 2x] magdap:
How can People be so ignorant?! I know this thread is talking about a lot, but its always about ICS for o2x, or anything that has something to do with this. But Plans from other Countries have like

NOTHING

to do with it.

AGAIN: STOP TALKING ABOUT YOUR MOBILE PLANS !!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
lighten up man, I'm 150% sure that as soon as the SU660 kernel source drops, people will suddenly shift their attention there and it'll be as if this off-topic saga didn't happen at all due to the swarm of new pages.
[LG Optimus 2x] TheBlackCat:
May be they want to release official ICS for P990 before cyanogen team, so

- they are going to release ics

- we have to wait long time for sources
[LG Optimus 2x] H€¥:
I hope they really will release drivers tomorrow!!
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
Highly doubt LG cares about "releasing before cyanogen". Firstly, cyanogen can't do a thing without the drivers from LG - which the kernel sources contain.

Secondly, as large as the XDA community is, it's still a minority of smartphone buyers. Your average joe buying a high end Android does not care about rooting or custom ROMs, just like the average joe buying an iPhone is unlikely to jailbreak it. If the stock ROM doesn't lag and the camera is good and the build quality is good, he's happy. This is why companies can get away with locking bootloaders - they can probably still turn a nice profit from the silent majority who doesn't care.
[LG Optimus 2x] Custom40:
This thread has 1 year anniversary next month. Over 7000 replies in one thread in less than a year - We have accomplished more than LG :highfive:
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
But that just raises another question: why would they not let the bootloader unlocked, if they really have little to no gain by doing otherwise?
[LG Optimus 2x] nycelitemaster:
I believe carriers request them to lock it to prevent non official softwares which can potentially harm customer and company, when you root an noob can easily mess up the phone and blame company for providing them ****ty phone.

In regards to sources: i feel they will have to forcefully release next week. We wont be seeing anything tomorrow.

[LG Optimus 2x] epicDistortion:
At least lg Canada was honest about their non commitment.

@PaddyJJ16 The Optimus 2X will not be receiving the ICS upgrade. The original upgrade announcement was a general statement issued from HQ.

[LG Optimus 2x] Ferrum Master:
I guess it wont help, like a patch to dead body. Can you or the OP just rename the thread to General XDA'ers chat, like in neighbouring sections of XDA. This thread is already broken as we all see, no one is capable reading through it and even dare to use search to find something usual here. Except individual descriptions about our harsh way through Golgotha. When really our sources will come out and only then create the thread for it and discuss the actual problems surrounding ICS.

It's already Wednesday in Korea, 10 am at this moment. It's been a week, I hope they can for once fulfill their promise and deliver the sources before next Wednesday (2 weeks)

So you dare defying the hulk? :what:

Thankfully he came to give the warning, it's annoying to read 6 pages of data plans & contracts...

Hi,

Yesterday I have send a message via the opensource link of the su660, this was their reply:

Dear Rudolf van Bezouwen

Thank you for your interest about our mobile phone.

“We received your request on LG Open Source Code Distribution site(http://opensource.lge.com).

This site is just for providing source codes of FOSS(Free and Open Source Software) we have used in our product.”

We are now preparing for the source and it will take 1~2 weeks.

Please wait for more times with your patience.

We hope this information will help you.

Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

[LG Optimus 2x] I.m.Tuga:
Well, something is wrong with LG, how come that they released the sources in one day for Black and for the 2X they'll take 2 weeks.

Maybe 2X means oblivium to them and black means Speedy Gonzales...

I can't believe how can a company continue to exist working like that.

I believe this isn't the same as the spreadsheet. That's Benee (sic?) and Kiljacken (again, can't spell) and a lot of other devs. This looks like it was done by RC, the general overseer of LG on the CM team. I think he collaborated some fixes by the community, but I'm thinking this is a separate project.

Still shots are perfection. Video doesn't seem to work (obviously) and RC's post showed that panoramic worked. YAY!
