Looks like the LG x3 will come to the US as the T-Mobile G4x, much like the LG x2 came over as the T-Mobile G2x. Now, I'm excited about the phone, but am extremely cautious with my expectations. The G2x was a calamity and if it wasn't

for XDA I would have dumped T-Mobile. Today, this is the best phone ever (thanks to Hell's ICS rom) I consistently out perform my friends Galaxy SII's and Galaxy Nexus' (Granted I'm OC'd to 1.4Ghz vs their stock, but hey, that's why I'm on XDA and they are just sheeple phone buyers).

I remember preliminary reviews on the G2x giving it glowing reviews, but when it got to the consumers hands, it was a disaster. I don't think the people who did the reviews know exactly what the definition of review means. When I saw video reviews, the phone had no customer Icons or apps and it looked like someone played with it for about an hour than made a review of it, which would explain the glowing reviews the G2x got from 99% of the "professional" review sites out there.

Me, I want the G4x, I thrive to have a phone with the power of my Transformer Prime, but not with the headaches the G2x started with. I'll read a real reviews posted on XDA or other android forums for 2 months after launch before taking the leap. And hey, with ICS running so fantastically on the G2x, I could wait for T-mo to give a G4x for free on contract renewal.

Just wondering how other G2x owners feel about the G4x? I was considering going with the HTC Tegra 3 phone (The Sensation is getting ICS officially, while LG leaves the G2x dead in the water, thank goodness for community support), due to LG's terrible support of the G2x. Another consideration was to wait for the Krait based phones. Anand did a write up on the architecture and it looks like that Dual-Core can give the Quad-Core Tegra 3 a run for its money. Hey, at least this comes with the latest Android OS, not one 2 versions old (I still can't believe the G2x shipped with Froyo....shudder....)

Thanks for reading, have an excellent day!!!

this might be a dumb question, but whatever happened to the g3 or whatever? did they just skip over that product line? whatever happened to consistency?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
I'm not really excited for it. Tegra chips have always been overrated IMO. The Snapdragon Krait processors are already said to perform better on lower levels of energy than the Tegra 3. Even the upcoming dual core Ti-OMAP's and Exynos' are said to perform better than the quad core Tegra.

Plus it's going to be closed source again so devs will have their problems.

So to me, good phone, well built, nice hardware and software, but the closed source is what will make me look elsewhere.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Phone looks decent. At this point in time phone hardware is to the point where pretty much any high end phone will get the job done just as good or slightly (not noticably in real world use) better than its competitors. It will come down phone design, screen size, and software support for me. I'm not going count LG out as this was my first LG phone. The Vibrant was my first Android phone and while Samsung was horrible with support for that phone they seem to have learned from it and are making an effort to do better. No reason the same cant happen with LG.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azhrei:
Actually ICS is coming to the G2x from LG in the 3rd quarter. Knowing how slow LG is, I'm guessing that'll be pushed back to 4th quarter. Still though, LG isn't abandoning us, instead they're just incompetent.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dEris:
Lol. G2x received its End of Life. It's not getting any update. What you heard was the news before the end of life report. Sorry.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
lg ics update < xda devs ics update

Its already here and getting better with each release. Besides that a port from any other tegra 2 based phone that gets ics is better than anything LG wannabe devs could release.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dEris:
I'm talking about an official update.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackpbj:
Is it me or is there something off about LG. The quality, no matter how good the specs are, just seems mediocre. Back in the day, I used to have an LG Chocolate and while it looked great, it was a piece of crap. Since then I never bought anything LG again. When the g2x came out I decided its been long enough and gave LG another chance. The g2x turned out to have as many annoying problems as the chocolate.

I am done with LG for good now. Fool me once shame on you , fool me twice shame on me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SpaceRanger69:
Yup.. I'm done with LG as well. When it comes time for my upgrade on my G2X I'll be looking for an HTC or Samsung device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] goldmantx:
I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I have never had a major issue with mt G2x and with all the dev support, it has been the best phone I have owned. The G4x looks promising but I will wait and see.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SpaceRanger69:
My resentment for LG has nothing to do with the developers. CM7 is the best thing that could have happened for my G2X. I was VERY close to ditching the phone until I came across the CM7 rom. With the CM7 Nightly 224 + Trinity kernel, my phone is usable once again. I still have to reboot my phone daily so that I can get working email and such (networking seems to hang if not rebooted daily). I can live with that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] info[]box1:
As of now I'm happy with my G2x and LG. Number one I'm a brand loyalty kind of guy. I say that to say this I have no regrets with LG, so I'm really looking at continuing our partnership with the G4x.

I think it looks fantastic, will definitely at least check it out at the store and hold it in my hands. I like my G2X and this looks very promising. Thank god im not on contract!!

EDIT: Apparently I don't know how to embed youtube videos, oh well there's the link.

That does look splendid. The new UI looks cool also but I don't like the dock icons. Thanks for posting

I have loved the G2x.. But it looks like I could love this phone as well. I'll probably hold off to the following year though, I hate paying full price ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Evofusion:
It might just come bone stock like the G2X did. The optimus 2x has an ugly skin overlay and we got it stock-ish.

It will more than likely be stock android but TBH I wouldn't mind this new UI I kind of like it :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ace42:
Looks like we're in the same boat. I read that there's a chance the iPhone 5 could make its way to Tmobile. It would be great if those rumors are in fact true, since I like the iP5's design--besides we both know the features of iOS that make it popular. With iOS the OS is designed specifically for certain hardware so I won't have to worry about compatibility issues or lag in certain spots like I normally deal with in android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
With the phone's you've had I only lag in them lol, especially that iconic G1 you're rocking. I went back to my MT3G a couple months ago to mess around and use it as a music player, I practically lost it I commend you and your patience.

On that note, if anyone is debating on the S3 or the HTC One s/xl One S good phone good camera, and descent software... I probably would've chose it over the S3 IF it had removable battery and expandable memory (sdcard slot) between that and the HTC disclaimer that you root and you lose any chance of warranty exchange (the one you have to do with in their website to unlock boot loader). The One X+, is a no go on more levels (Nvidia) enough said.

The S3 is all win for me, size fits in my hand well, rooted and ways to go back to stock without them knowing. Flashable modems (radios) removable battery and SD slot. The battery is phenomenal anyways, I have Cyanogen as a Dev for the phone (JB already), and above all Qualcomm is already releasing source :) just some thoughts and I'm bored lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
You can do so much more with the iPhone, development wise than the android! I have had both. I ported gcc to my iPhone can't do that with android.

On my android, I have busybox pro, c4droid(c compiler app), a terminal emulator. I can't use git, make, a true gcc port in my terminal. I was able to port various tools on my iPhone though. I could download and build packages as well. Can't do that with android. Yes I know android is based off of Linux but iPhone is based off of Unix.

Never heard of botbrew though. I am trying to say that from my experience, you can do so much more with the iPhone.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

I would love that! I seen a prototype for the 5 and it looks promising! I don't understand why t mobile are the only big corporation that doesnt carry iPhones. I think that would put t mobile on the top!

Exactly! No compatability issues, no bugs, better and much more stable software! The only thing I do not like is jail breaking and the patches designed to foil the jailbreak. Whereas androids rooting is a much more stable concept. Once its rooted its root and you don't have to worry about updates unrooting or bricking your device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Then what is Linux based on? Unix.

Check botbrew out then, it has git, GCC (complete port, is missing nothing and compiles for arm), wireshark, make, jam, adduser, vim, curl and a lot more. I personally use Linux (Gentoo) on my PC.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ace42:
Yeah jailbreaking has more obstacles than rooting on android, but normally the ios devs figure out a way to bypass the new security anyway. And the prototypes do look sweet but I wonder about the actual specs--I'm hoping for quad cpu and quad gpu like in the ipad 3.

I sold my Sensation due to its incessant lag and bad battery that seemed apparent even on ICS roms--the mt4g I had was actually really ok speed wise unlike my sensation, the sidekick 4g was pretty bad and sluggish due to froyo(never got GB), the mt3g slide was slow with sense, and well the g1 is ancient stuff but is very tough/rugged. I have been very patient with android devices and I'm disappointed it took Jelly bean just for android to finally become fast and smooth.

I also checked out the S3(tmo) but to be honest that thing is way to similar to the One S spec wise for me to have interest. If the new iphone isn't anything amazing I will just wait keep my g1 and wait for the next Nexus device(s) or "G" phone on tmobile.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
I know what Linux is based off of lol but I will check botbrew out later. I ordered a tattoo gun and am doing a self sleeve. I've been drawing 13+ years so I figured why the heck not. Its an invader zim theme. Anywho, back on topic. I use Arch Linux. I heard gentoo is great too. Haven't tried it yet because I am in love with Arch Linux's package manager; Pacman. So I have felt no need to venture any further then Arch. If I were to migrate to another distro, it would be either Slackware or Gentoo.

---------- Post added at 03:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 AM ----------

Could you even put a quad gpu in a phone lol If so, you could probably install a PS2 emu! My G2x can only handle a Ps1 emu. The only game I really play on the ps1 is FF7. The best game ofnall time! I don't think the iPhone has a great emulator/gaming community though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
Tahahawa, botbrew is amazing! I wish I knew about this sooner! Freaking awesome! No need for the iPhone anymore lol

After the G2x, I swore to never again go LG unless it's a Nexus device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vastphoto:
Same for me. LG is a joke! I will never waste my hard earned $ on that cr*p again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sinister.dexter:
I'll believe that when it's on my phone. Until then, I believe we own a non-supported phone.

As far as the G4x... f*ck LG. The specs on the G2x looked great too, but they can't build a quality device, and refuse to fix problems for months on end, leaving it up to the development community to limp along without their drivers to give life to their creation.

No thanks, LG. You're not getting me twice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dakunclear:
You think that is bad up here LG wouldn't even update the wind mobile phone cause they didn't sell enough phones so thank God for the devs for T-Mobile or I would still be stuck on 2.2 our at least my wife would be that's why I bought the galaxy s3 cause Samsung gives a Damn about their customers

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I won't buy anything LG makes because it has contempt for its customers, especially those who bought a G2X. LG marketed the G2X as "upgradeable" but only provided it once, Gingerbread, when forced to and still hasn't in Canada. Although the virtually identical Optimus 2X is, apparently, getting ICS that is just a promise and, knowing LG's poor update/upgrade track record, it will either be a long time from now and poorly executed, or not at all. The same is apparently true for other LG products such as Televisions. I blame Google for some of this and especially NVIDIA for not providing information necessary for independent developers to use to make Android Kernels and ROMs which can fully utilize the capabilities of the G2X hardware. So, no more LG and NVIDIA for me after this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] se1zure31:
The 'G4X' may look great on first appearance, but after the G2X, I am done with LG. My G2X works fine, but I couldn't sell it if I wanted to. The phone is worthless based on this fact.

I am getting tired of the fragmentation of Android phones lately. It seems that unless you buy a Nexus phone, all you can do is hope and pray that an OS update will be released. The devs are amazing, I am not discounting that at all, but having support for something I paid good money for is nice.

I will probably go back to the iPhone. You can almost sell those for as much as you pay for them on 2 year contract when you are ready to upgrade.

I hope no one takes this as trolling...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shazam1203:
I think im gonna stick with htc next time round, they always seem to have a much higher build quality.

Started out with evo, then Samsung epic 4g, then vibrant, and now the g2x, everything I have ever bought that is lg has always had some type of problem with it, and Samsung always has a cheap plasticy feel to all their phones. Maybe I will give lg another chance, we will see.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jland22:
I have no problems with lg and can care less about stock ota updates any phone company puts out for that matter. I always wait and see what developers are working on the phone and what is put out to the community. This phone attracted a lot of good devs and I am satisfied running cm9 ics. I will wait and see how many devs this new phone attracts then make my decision to put the g2x to bed . And yes , I was one of the donators who contributed money to some of these awesome devs towards buying this phone.!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
You should care about OTA updates because those are what developers need to get access to drivers such as those for the Tegra 2 in the G2X without which they can't provide fully capable modified kernels and ROMs. The G2X is a prime example of this because, although ICS for the G2X is available from various independent developers, it is crippled without the Tegra 2 drivers and won't be fully capable until those drivers become available. Many developers have abandoned phones with the Tegra 2 in it because of that. We're extremely fortunate that there are any developers still working on firmware for phones with the Tegra 2 in it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jland22:
It isn't crippled at all, you should follow arcee cm developer for our phones. And yes I agree, without him and his voodoo magic we wouldn't have cm7 or cm9 but its not lgs fault that nvidia close source their drivers. Of course they don't want to give out their proprietary code to the public, there is a reason my 1 year old phone gets better fps then most new phones if not all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jland22:
Our phone came stock with froyo an was promised to be upgradeable and they fulfilled their promise by providing gingerbread two updates if I can recall . Lg is a huge corporation and mobile phones is one division of it unlike companies like HTC and Motorola. Samsung is comparable and they had even worse support just a year ago. Dont forget the majority of androids are running gingerbread and the next is froyo and the 1-2% of devices is running ics.. like I said, personally I will wait and see the dev support. Everyone else ha their opinions and high expectations for companies and even devs, it is xda ...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spitfire:
TBH I will use these forums and check on ROM development from now on before I buy any phone. If there is good support here for the G4X and I like it, I'll get it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vipaman:
NEVER an another LG device might consider it but only if the dev is strong..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] info[]box1:
I'm really feeling the LG brand right now. I feel my G2x is well built compared to previous devices I owned. Anytime you add a metal alloy to the bezel frame, that's a good step. My G2x battery door is solid. The quality glass LCD screen, granted it isn't HD or 3D but the G2x's pixels are better than Nexus S 4G super amoled screen. The G2x build quality beats more than 85% of my former carrier Sprint top tier devices. The Htc Evo wasn't built to my standards for a flagship device. I'm normally a Htc user by choice since my WinMo days, but now a day that value changed a little to me.

I feeling this New LG G2x if they don't dotted their (i)s and crossed their (t)s. I would a proud owner, as long as the next generation of the Nexus Legacy doesn't come out. Haha

I haven't had much experience with LG products until this G2X, but hardware-wise I've been pleased.

Their software seems to really be the lacking part, and since we have wonderful devs and dev teams out here building quality firmware replacements I don't see any legitimate reason no to give the G4X a try.

And let's be honest, who watched the Kal-el demonstration and didn't at least slightly want to try it out? :)

i dig my g2x. i plan on keeping it at least a few months after the official ics for o2x gets ported. if it still runs fine, im keeping this phone until i brick it.

the 4x looks great, but since im a prepaid user it is going to be a long time before the unlocked 4x hits my price range. if it hits ~$400 when im ready to upgrade i just might snatch it, depending on the dev community and whatever else is on the market at the time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I do follow the developers who support this phone and they all wish they could have ICS drivers for the Tegra 2 phone SOC because they can't complete their work such as enabling true Tegra 2 hardware video acceleration. It is also LG's fault because they should have released ICS for their phones by now, they are a multi-billion $ company which can provide the resources to do it but they haven't. Proprietary source code would be very helpful but it isn't necessary if LG provides the drivers for their phones. What is the Video fps with ICS on your phone? Can you shoot video with it?

---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

Read my post, no update/upgrade from Froyo to Gingerbread in Canada and only one update in the U.S. only because T-Mobile pulled the phone from their product lineup until LG fixed the most outrageous problems it suffered from.

Yes, LG is a huge corporation and so is Samsung but Samsung appears to have learned that pissing-off customers is bad for business but LG doesn't appear to care even though it is losing companies willing to carry and promote its phones.

Where I live, in Toronto, Canada, the largest city in Canada, virtually all of the advertising by service providers, Best Buy and Future Shop for phones is anything but LG. Yesterday, I went to Best Buy to see the phones they're selling on behalf of the various service providers and I only found one LG model for sale, the 3-D model, no others but lots of Samsung, Blackberry, Iphone, and the Google Nexus. I spoke with a few sales reps about why there's only one LG phone on display and they said it's because LG isn't popular and customers know that LG doesn't support its phones.

Phones aren't cheap unless you are on a 2 year plan in the U.S. or a 3 year plan in Canada so you get a subsidized phone but you're still paying for it with those high monthly charges for required data plans to get one. If a person is committing to a contract, they want a phone which is supported by the manufacturer with timely updates/upgrades for the life of the contract, not just until the next model is marketed. If a person pays the full cost of the phone, they definitely want to keep their phone up-to-date to maintain its usefullness and to maintain its monetary value when they sell it. The G2X is theoretically a good phone but it has been ruined by the lack of support from LG and its resale value has consequently been seriously reduced. Search around here and you'll find plenty of people who feel ripped-off by LG and many who have taken a serious financial loss when they sold their phone. One reason many haven't sold their phone is for that reason, they don't want to lose so much money.

Even though I have serious criticisms of LG, NVIDIA and Google regarding the G2X and Android fragmentation, I do think the G2X is, potentially, a very good phone but that potential is unrealized and it is now being superceded by newer phones which doesn't bode well for developer support continuing for it.

I actually saw video and was impressed.

But, I promised I'd never buy another LG device, ever!!!

However, if XDA supports it and there is lots of development on it, and LG releases what the devs need to crank cool ROMs, then I'm on board.

But that really goes with any device really. Still holding on my G2x until I find the next best device.
