Here we go again....

They should just call it the g2x2..

Not much of an upgrade IMO, wow a quadcore that's already outdated ****ty locked bootloader, same size as the g2x in mm(10) Looks like LG wont ever learn their lesson. I still love my G2x but this is like HTC releasing the XL,Amaze right after the sensation smh.

Qualcomm s4 chip is gonna rape tegra3,actually it already has lol. I'm looking to upgrade to krait or Mali next soc.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
My next phone is probably going to be the Samsung Galaxy SIII. I still love my G2x though. <3

If this info is true, Galaxy S III all the way. Until then, I'm still fine with my G2x.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I'm not gonna say what my next phone is cause its about 6 months til I can upgrade... my questions are which line of phones should I fallow that are almost always open source and which processor manufacturer cause well this whole nvidia/LG thing ain't happenin again, lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Nexus. :)

By so far Samsung seems to be the best. They don't lock boot loaders or close their source, other than TouchWiz of course. HTC is the same as well. You can also stick with TI Omaps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NekoNyapii:
I just wish they would put HTC Sense in a hardware design like the G2X's, that'd be sweet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I've always been against the plastic feel and I don't care much for sense anymore as CM has come so far now with customization, so HTC is a possibility but I read some where they were gonna use the tegra 3 chip set lol... either way log hardware (the phone itself) is nice and has taken a beating from me and I get compliments on it but LG &Nvidia are poop faces
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jland22:
Looks like the tegra3 processor is dominating the MWC and is the processor of choice for most hardware manufacturers for upcoming high end phones and tablets.... Nvidia is going to be in a lot more phones this year and after playing around with the transformer prime a little, that isnt a bad thing. Plus they will all be running ICS from what it looks anyways so no need to complain to about Nvidia drivers for now at least....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] minhajmsd:
I'm considering either the 4x or the quad core huawei ascend.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Seems as is the G4x is reserved for the HTC One X, and not LG's Optimus 4x phone.

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/02/rumo...-ready/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

An HTC flagship phone running stock Android? Yes please! Although only thing I'm scared about is that it has the Tegra 3, kinda like the S4 better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
The G4x or Optimus 4x seems to be designed as a high performance gaming handset just like the G2x.

Portable gaming and the real "personal computer" is evolving and manifesting infront of our eyes as we witness state of the art in the year 2012 AD.

Again I for one since being a video gamer back in 1991 have always imagined, as the years went by and computer technology became smaller and more portable, a device that could game on the go similar to the Nintendo game boy but with the power of a console.

Little did I know it would come as a hybrid all in one device that could make phone calls, surf the web, watch videos and movies, be a camera, a flashlight, a police scanner, a level, upon being a PORTABLE GAMING DEVICE!!!!

I bought the G2x first and foremost because it was the first practical smartphone that had the potential to be this portable gaming device I always dreamed off.

We are now seeing that it's very capable of bringing console quality videogames to a small device and the g4x seems to be a refined more thought out version of this idea. Bigger Screen, quadcore processor, and bigger battery for more practical video gaming experience.

With my G2x I have found a GREAT powerful on the go entertainment device, and I look forward to the extra power and bigger screen of the G4x. I'm so excited!

New G4x Rumor

I just read this yesterday-it looks like HTC will be making the G4x according to this: http://androidandme.com/2012/02/sma...e-to-get-stock-android-4-0-and-quad-core-cpu/

I have to say I am more excited to have HTC phone with stock android than LG...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackpbj:
I wold love an HTC again. I am probably never getting another LG again unless perhaps its free or something.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
I am not scared of the fact that is runing Tegra 3 at all. I actually like the hardware just LG software developers suck....HTC updates their phones on regular basis and don't abandon old headsets. I like the build quality of HTC phones as well. I sure hope this rumor turns out to be true.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
interesting thread as i just got my G2x on Monday and when i asked the guy at the t-mobile store if it is upgradeable to ICS he gave me the obligatory "it should be" answer :)

still, im liking it a whole lot but i am an android n00b so i dont have anything to compare it too
[T-Mobile LG G2x] id3alistic:
I pretty much feel just like you do. I was planning to get a PSP last year just so I can hack it and download all these emulators and what not for it. Then I realized that smartphones can do that nowadays and I was ready to upgrade. So that's 2 birds with 1 stone.

I don't know if other phones can run these games at full res, or even, but I've been playing Spectral Souls and Generation of Chaos endlessly on my G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Are those two games from an Emulator or Android marketplace?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Marketplace
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Corbanski:
So the G3 is just going to be skipped?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Yeah, maybe they're going by the cores? G2x=2 times the cores. Thus, G4x=4 times.

Just my guess.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
While it's true that smartphones are much more powerful than the PSP, one thing that's setting these 'gaming phones' back is the lack of physical hardware controls. I'll play games any day on my PSP over my G2x because hardware controls are much better compared to touch screen control. The Xperia Play is a step in the right direction, but doesn't really have the hardware to back it up.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dakunclear:
just as a heads up for all of you complaining about lg and think you have it bad i'm with wind mobile up here and lg annouced they wouldn't even update the phone since wind hasn't sold enough of them so i'm glad i rooted and put a rom on my phone or i would of been really screwed
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Corbanski:
that would make sense for the G#x's but the G1 and the G2 were both single core
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sickspider1:
its looks like ****, there's no major improvements -_- except for the fact it has ICS
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
Yea but they didn't have the "x" in their name and no other dual cores were out at the time

For those phones, the G probably stood for Google
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
This is the real G4x in case you're wondering

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_b-ASrPoic&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
I dont think tmobile will skip the g3, the g2x and g4x are completely different phones compared to the g1-g2 which sport physical keyboards. Im hoping to hear something soon about a g3 announcement,even tho ive gotten used to touch screen typing, I have to admit the g1 & g2 keyboards were nice to have when texting.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
I agree. I really miss the trackpad as well. :( that thing was awesome on the G2 and MT4G.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Ya they were lifesavers for editing texts, I hate trying to get the damn cursor to go where I need it(by tapping the screen) to fix typos. I must have done that at least 10 times so far in this paragraph lol. Tho I am using my girls samsung admire typing this, its screen sensitivity is terrible!

I have nothing more to say about the g4x lol

Its samsung GS3 or HTC G3 foh me!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Lol yeah I feel ya. Its either HTC, SGSIII or the next Nexus for me as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sobhambi:
yeah...for me its too slim and has too big a screen. A nice big screen would be cool but the practicality could be ridiculously low when using it in one hand. Especially when you may have smaller hands.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
I think tmobile will skip the g3. They probably won't even do a G line anymore. That was really just a beginning for them since that Droid lineup tiny. Now that they've been able to get more brands and better phones, why worry about the G series. Both the G1 and G2 were Google related. The Nexus One was really supposed to be the G3 but I doubt you will see anymore high end phones with keyboards.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
There will always be room for high end smartphones with keyboards, the droid 4 just came out, why not the g3 down the road. We will see...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Yeah they can't give up on physical keyboards just yet... A 4.5" screen with a PK would be absolutely awesome.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] estylo:
I just want to say firstly that the Devs for G2x saved this phone for what it is. I love the hardware on this phone but the lack of official support makes it impossible to really want the next make up. I had an Evo when it first came out back when I lived in the US and it was an amazing phone. HTC is great i might just go back with them or the next samsung of the time (I'm sticking with my G2x for another year)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] whozilla:
I'm not an lg fanboy..... But all my tvs are lg and my home is full of lg phone users. The g2x has been good to me. My plan is to get the tegra 3 optimus 4x or g4x or whatever you want to call it. Unless lg develops the next nexus, as I heard they are begging for a shot at Google's baby. I'd buy. :thumbup:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sc2ascend:
After my experience with the g2x I probably will not go for the g4x, no product support. The developer community is what made the g2x as amazing as it is.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] duc748s:
This is true. Some of the developers really went the extra mile with supporting this phone (see current work to get ICS functional and working on the G2x despite not having any driver support).

But I am kind of torn on whether I would get an LG G4x, at first I thought the issue was with NVidia and their drivers (not releasing them, which I can understand). But LG has been really shady about the whole update to ICS. Then the whole EoL thing, then the phone is back on TMo's site for sale. It's a mess.

I mean this phone, at almost a year old, still has the hardware and features that exceeds most smart phones on the market today and TMo's line up has what... about 4 high-end phones plus the G2x. So why wouldn't you invest in updating it? It surely must be cheaper to manufacture by now and still be a top tier phone to sell to customers and turn a profit.

But if HTC makes the G4x I will definitely get one and give them a shot. They have come a long way (as well a Sammy) and I don't think it can be worst than the current G2x situation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
HTC stopped making the MyTouch line, then LG got the call, now it looks like hauwei will make the next release.

I think t-mobile stopped the whole "G" line since both g1 and g2 were Google phones by HTC. Now HTC has a flagship and no news of an upcoming LG phone. The G4x hasn't been confirmed for tmobile either.

ATT will get the HTC one X, the top tier, and tmo will get the second tier HTC one S
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Google is "begging for a shot at Google's baby" because they have blown it with with Android updates/upgrades so they want to make Google's hardware and rely on and piggyback on Google's updates for it. I hope Google keeps LG begging and begging and begging and begging...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
Its probably running Froyo
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
its definitely got a locked bootloader so rooting will not be accomplished until a dev figures it out!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_b-ASrPoic fast forward to 3:25 if that's all you want to here!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Anyone even thinking about getting this phone after what LG and nvidia did to the g2x deserves whats gonna happen to them in the future. Doubt nvidia will ever change their mind about open sourcing their code for developers. LG made a beast of a phone with the g2x but they failed so hard on software upgrades and their pos lg updater/kdz tool is trash as well.

With as many Android phones there are and coming out soon we all need to make smart choices and show these companies that we want better products, not rushed out incomplete phones just so they can say they were the first dualcore/quadcore out smh.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jghidalgo307:
I wouldn't be surprised lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
Obv get the HTC One S from Tmobile.

Or the HTC One X from AT&T

The S4 Krait eats the Tegra 3 for breakfast.

One s4 core is 2.1 Tegra 3 core.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AndroidSav:
My next phone will likely be a Samsung Galaxy 3 , LG dissapointed me both in quality and the way they handled the Gingerbread update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Did anyone else notice how the battery lost 3% in 3 minutes with Wi-fi on? That's terrible... :eek:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] orangesodazz:
Screw LG and Nvidia. Definitely will look into the HTC one s, looks like an awesome phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
LOL at the end of the video when the reporter asks the LG rep about the bootloader, the lg rep didnt sound too confident anymore about the g4x product he had just represented. Especially since reporter was from xda and unlocked bootloaders= win for product. They shoulda stamped that lg rep as a sucka after that "lg is strict on the locked bootloader" comment.

Im sorry if this next comment offends anyone but the g4x is just as gimped as those HTC one series. No removable battery,no external sdcard,pentile screen on one s,locked bootloaders(until HTC releases source to) only great thing about that one s is the s4 chip and camera, but what it sacrifices in features doesnt make up for those 2 pros.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Couldn't have said it better myself man.

We have dozens of threads and hundreds of posts on the G2x alone complaining about its lack of software support and drivers/source support. Now that's shame on LG and nVidia.

But if you see those kinds of threads in the 4X then that's gotta be shame on you.

The 4X is awesome and many will enjoy it. But if you want development and company support then steer your head elsewhere.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ikaden:
I agree. The G2X was my first "smart" phone. I love the fact it had an unlocked bootloader and a vanilla ROM installed but the lack of support down the road have convinced me to never buy a LG phone. The harder part is not buying a phone with a Tegra processor.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stormageddon:
I would be willing to look into the G4x if it did not have a Tegra processor. I am sorry for all those who like it but my main problem is Nvidia's unwillingness to share drivers with us developers making rom development just that much harder. Other than that it sounds like a good device.

Just a question for all you out there: If all the phones are getting thinner and the screen sizes keep getting larger and the processors are getting more powerful, what is going to happen to the complaints about battery life since battery technology has not had a real improvement in forever?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ^Fs:
While I am so very thankful this phone got CM7 so soon after launch, I'm going to keep away from LG in the future.

Everything seemed to look good on paper, but I wasn't entirely satisfied with this phone. I'm actually very surprised I held on this long.

My next phones will be HTC One S -> Samsung Galaxy S III -> Next Gen Nexus (and my fingers are crossed for ASUS as that has been by far my favorite OEM with Android)

(And thank god for Craigslist in NYC :) )
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
I agree wiyh you but We don't have much choice though with TMO. HTC has thr best dev support. No word on SGS3 or LG G4x coming to T-Mobile and they don't have a Nexus either. The Amaze and sgs2 are the best avail and the One S will probably be a good decision once dev support kicks in.

Alternative is obviously buy an unlocked phone whether ATT or international but then we might not get features that we need like Wifi Calling or purchasing market directly to our bill or get those "4G" speeds TMO keeps bragging about.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
ASUS might get in to the phone market given their tablet success but who knows. The One S is the only confirmed so far.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I dont even want to get into the HTC One X/S or anyog them cause of Nvidia! I like the look of both the G4X and the new HTC line-up but why Nvidia!??!?!?!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
So you gonna wait till TMO gets a nexus or sgs3?

Or get yourself a Hauwei.........j/k
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
right now, I'm completely satisfied with the G2X at least until 2nd quarter is over.... the way I see it and hope for... is the fact as of right now stated by LG the Optimus 2X will receive 4.0.X and if so I believe in our community to get a fully 110% working ICS rom to us. As is now with our great community, we have a pretty functional (for what they were working with) ICS rom already, and it can only gett better and way faster! So unless LG fails (hopes aren't to hi) then I'm completely okay sticking it out until I see a phone that I actually want. It would be a HTC line more importantly Nexus line, I mean the first Nexus was a huge success, the Nexus S was.... meh. Galaxy Nexus is pretty sweet IMO, just too damn big. I'm 5'9 the phone fits weird in my hands lol. Either that or a new quad core that isn't gigantic and not Nvidia, only a phone that has released source in the past and mentions that they will continue to do so.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iArtisan:
Tell me about it. I'm 5'7" and I wonder how people hold some of these phones lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zoppp:
Wait, if ICS is coming to the o2x then can't we just rip the drivers?

Sent from my Handheld Portal Device
[T-Mobile LG G2x] desynch-:
That's what I think too when I read an article on it earlier today about LG sending ICS to its 2011 devices 2nd quarter 2012. Perhaps, but from what I've read, the O2x has different mount points compared to G2x, but I'm sure it can be done with time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Nvidia all the way! I seen a youtube video of the HTC One S with the new dualcore Snapdragon processor running GTA 3 and the framerate was choppy compared to my G2x, besides only a fool would invest in passe computer technology, when quadcore is now the state of the art in mobile processors.

As far as battery technology, Toshiba came out with a new li ion battery technology a couple years back that has 3000-5000 recharge cycles as compared to 500 recharge cycles on current consumer liion batteries, meaning it'll last up to 10 years compared to 2 years for current ones, and the best thing about it is that Toshiba's battery recharges from 0 to full charge in as little as 10 minutes!

The battery is called Toshiba SCIB and is meant for any electrical device from cellphones to laptops to electric bikes and electric cars. I'm not sure why they haven't yet brought it to cellphones since Schwin already has an electric bike that has the technology.

Anyway I'm so getting the G4x when it comes to Tmobile and I will invest in a Mugen extended battery if and when they make one for it. :)

I'm 6'2 myself and I gotta agree. Phones like the Galaxy Note are monster phones, and I have some big hands. I couldn't see myself carrying a phone that big everyday with me.

Hahah - If you're able to use a Galaxy Note one handed you have some massive damn hands. The Galaxy Nexus and Razr Maxx haven't given me any issues though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
Correction. Not "when it comes to T-Mobile" but "if it comes". T-Mobile usually gets second tier phones i.e. HTC One S compareted to the top tier ONE X going to ATT.

Besides, state of the art mobile processors with limited to no support are pretty much even with older processor that have full support. Remember, the UI takes its toll on the process and RAM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jland22:
I put tmobile at fault for the issues about updates as they completely gave up on this phone and stopped supporting it after all the complaints I have a moto Xoom tablet with fully functional tegra drivers on an official ics release and this is the same tegra 2 chip...media and hardware accelerated .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
If nVidia doesn't want to release drives and sources, theres only so much LG devs and xda dev can do. Tmo has to pay LG to futher support the phone so if they have new phones in their line, why bother updating old ones.

Carriers, manufacturers and suppliers could care less about XDA development as long as they see profits. Its worth noting that HTC does the most when it comes to dev support.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] binded2:
the g2x is dead there not going to update it its already been said theres only updating the ox2 if where lucky we can use the drivers from that for are phones

Looks like it will be a nice phone. More space, faster, bigger screen. Although itll still have the usual cameras. With a quad-core there shouldnt be any sort of lag.

I wonder if it will come with ICS......or Jellybean. lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gawdlike:
By the time my contract is up there will be a better phone out there so I will stick with my g2x, All I know though is I will never go with a Motorola device again after the Cliq

Not gonna waste any more money with LG unless I can get a phat deal.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jesterpb:
I picked up my G2x as a great deal at CostCo, but have had nothing but problems. CM7 didn't solve them, just moved to Weapon last night. Here's hoping...

Regardless, I don't want another LG. This is just an embarrassing device. Unfortunately for me, I love gaming, and the Tegra games just look So Damn Good. I've bought several of them, and they really are eye popping. But I just can't see myself forgiving LG for this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Stopfakn:
I firstly buy phones for looks and then features specs. Then I worry about roms. Truthfully I'll probably give it a shot
[T-Mobile LG G2x] id3alistic:
I like the look and size of the g2x. I think its perfect. Wouldn't want a bigger phone. Could always be slimmer. Will def get considrr g4x. I got 1 more year on my contract though. Maybe g6x will be out by then.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jmfixitman:
I'm looking forward to it. I do like the G2x, but a four core would (should) be awesome. All I can say about LG is while they make an ok phone, dont buy one of their appliances!

After several purchases I've come to the conclusion that if a company makes cell phones, they shouldnt make appliances...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctowne:
Is it really necessary to put a quad core processor in a phone? I feel like there is no way that you could get the full power out of it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
2 x G2X problems = G4X
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Yeah there really isn't. But I guess it only does more good than bad. Maybe it helps in less power consumption.

But either way, I just wish companies would take a year or two off in mobile chip processing R&D and use that money and time in battery technology. Seriously though, that way in no time we'd have 5000 mAH batteries that actually fits in a standard smartphone. We can only wish!
