[LG Optimus 3D] Cathy_C:
But if people have such a problem with 2.3 then they can downgrade right?

Certainly don't tell people not to buy the phone because of it. It's a great phone. Not sure why he was so riled.

Does it come out of the box now with 2.3 loaded onto it?
[LG Optimus 3D] Merlee:
No it doesn't come with 2.3 now, afaik.

Sure you can downgrade it, but droping every fascinating part about android, because they messed up, is pretty bad.

If I wouldn't care, I would end up buying an iphone, really.
[LG Optimus 3D] Cathy_C:
Hmm, definitely seems to me that it's all the more reason to buy the phone if there's a sure fire way to prevent any GC issues. It seems very odd to me that some people would suggest not buying it on GC grounds. The main lure of the phone is, after all, the 3D content, and not the version of the operating system.

Would make more sense to say buy but don't update.
[LG Optimus 3D] Mouselik:
Thats not the point here.

The point is you buy a phone, you upgrade through the official methods and it stops working. And then the brand that makes the phone simply say's "deal with it".

In my case, a complete noob in messing with roms, I will not risk a downgrade and brick the phone. Its not my job to do so, its LG's job to fix it.
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
One person wrote he got a ghost call even on froyo rom.
[LG Optimus 3D] Meemo23:
What are you trying to imply i paid £499 for my phone and LG made 2.3 upgrade to help us improve our battery problem, Which in turn it has improved battery significantly...

As i said we all paid a certain amount to buy a phone and we can't use the latest software due to an issue that LG them self's were supposed to fix. Are you trying to imply that if someone made a phone and it was a flip phone, Say for example when you flip the phone shut it is supposed to go into sleep mode and save you battery. But it didn't go to sleep when you flipped the phone shut that you would keep it open instead?

Even though you paid a big amount of money, So your trying to say that having a phone that is supposed to function properly, But isn't due to the lack of development on the phone is still worth down grading to a lower and ****ty software just so you can use it.

I didn't pay 499 so i can downgrade my phone and have it's battery run out in 5 hours use. I am a business man and i need my phone all the time. I am not around a charger to use it when ever i want so i have to compromise.

Due to the lack of support given to us by LG we all have to live with this ****ty phone you so call a great phone.. This is the reason i use this phone to develop on because it misses calls from my business partners and friends and families, i had to change to my Galaxy Nexsus S..

If you try and defend LG with another comment you are either working for LG or are just blinded like a fool. LG got you by your pockets as you will pour more money into their pockets so they can ditch you with no support. You either need to get off this forum and go lick LG's ass or stay here and support what everyone else is doing to make you phone a better experience.

Now we would not have to make it better if LG had done their jobs and do what they are supposed to do. Which is to fix bugs for the customers that paid for their phones. Without customers they would have no phones nore a company..
[LG Optimus 3D] cassianog:
I can't agree with this. Most people who buy smartphones from whichever manufacturer is someone into technology. And such a person would stay upgraded to the lattest version of anything, starting from the opperating system. Buying a top of the line phone and keeping it's opperating system outdated doesn't make sense to me. Maybe it would be better to stay with HTC EVO 3D, which is also 3D and, as far as I know, doesn't have any serious issue. Unfortunately, some people, like us in Brazil, don't have this option since the model is not available here.

I couldn't agree more. In other words, if the legitimate upgrade made through the official methods renders the device a faulty phone, than it is a manufacturing defect.
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
Ppl buy phones to have working software. And the most actual software possible.

Gingerbread improves some things like better 3d converter, video editor, faster hsdpa, better battery etc. but not being able to receive 100% of calls and SMS is a big problem. You don't know if someone send SMS our called. Most ppl don't want to stay on froyo, cause newer software is always better. Buy lg gave faulty soft.

We can only hope that they fix it. But most ppl are afraid that it won't happen because lg really suck in software. Our hope is in ICS Android which lg announced for Q3
[LG Optimus 3D] johnw230873:
Staying on topic of this thread:D I wouldn't recomend either phone just becuase of the poor support from LG to their customers over this ghost calls issue, heck we don't know what the real reason is but a lot of users on a GB baseband are getting them and the service that LG is providing is really bad. So I put this point accross, after LG past record lately can you rely on them with either phone if they put out another update to either phone that doesn't work as expected.

Now off the thread :p

IFLPI: The user you have read that reported the GC on 2.2, was it about an RIP or GC? As I can remember reading the RIP post but not one about GC on 2.2 : link to the thread I've read http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24496194&postcount=521

As for GC I personily think it might be bigger than people think and that is because of the many posts where people think they don't have any and then they report "oh I have just found out I missed a few texts a few weeks ago", as time goes on more and more of these posts seem to be popping up.

Now being the MAN I am, I'm off to the Kichen to make a coffee :D , or am I in the office, hay Koo want me to pick you up a coffee.
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
What is RIP?
[LG Optimus 3D] johnw230873:
RIP - reorganizing internal processes, what a lot of users get when the baseband crashes, personally I havn't seen one yet

i havent tried the optimus2x but i have the o3d it is a good games phone if you dont like the 3d you can turn it off works prety fast.have rooted and unrooted and ran custom roms i prefare it unrooted i have used the program to run gameloft game data off sd card and would recomend a fast card with the largest capacity you can afford.
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
Completely avoidable? Wrong. Third time. I'm afraid that you've exceeded the daily "wrong" quota. :)

First, you stated in a certain way that you never had an issue with GCs and that you're "not convinced it's as common as people are making out", without even knowing what the issue is and that it doesn't affect the 2.2 ROMs.

Second, you were certain that people who upgraded to v2.3 can downgrade to v2.2. They can't, at least officially.

Now, you are certain that the issue is completely avoidable. How's that?

Let me give you an example: You are a member of this forum, bought this phone and you didn't know what exactly the issue was. So the next time that you connect the phone to the PC and run the LG PC Suite to synchronize your phone, a message appears to upgrade the phone software, as recommended by LG. As you trust a big company like LG, you proceed with the automatic update and... boom.. you've got the v2.3 and your first ghost calls.

And let's forget about you, me and the people who read the forums, are aware of the problem and they won't upgrade. We are just a very small minority of the total users. The big majority of the average users that don't read forums, will buy the phone, connect to the PC to synchronize its data and upgrade the firmware without being aware of any potential problems.

How that is "completely avoidable"?

As he said on a later post, it was about RIP. He didn't notice GCs with Froyo at the same time.

And I completely agree that this is a general issue. More and more users come here and in other forums to complain about ghost calls.

However, as we all know, few of the average users read tech forums or even upgrade their phones to new firmwares. Not to mention that LG hasn't released the v2.3 to all of the countries/carriers yet.
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
I had RIP 2 times on ginger, it was during a call.

I think GC issue affects all phones but ppl do not notice that.
[LG Optimus 3D] johnw230873:
Boston, rewrote my question as I was asking a user about a post that they had made on the previous page
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
So its a good phone, besides this ghost call issue which maybe and hopefuly LG will solve.
[LG Optimus 3D] theaks30:
Dude...dont get an lg

Go for the galaxy s2 or wait until you get htc one x in your country

Even for lg4x

But there's not much of a difference between real life gaming between optimus black and 3D

The black screen is more bright but 3D one is better even less pixel density

It looks better!

Even games look crisp ;)

You can get the 3D

I have rooted 2.3 gingerbread and no call issues ;)

Forget about the 2x if you dont want much custom rom

(But i love custom roms)
[LG Optimus 3D] bmar577:
O3D

I've had many phones(mostly HTC) and my favorite out of everything I've ever had. Very fast, very capable. Essentially the same phone but 4.3 inch screen on the O3D and two 5MP 3d cameras rather than the one on the 2x.

Running on stock 2.3.5 firmware(putting custom as we speak however) and never once experienced the "ghost call" issue people talk about.

The only other thing I could ask is the screen be of higher density and resolution. otherwise love it alot. especially at the price. picked mine up basically for free, traded a old blackberry bold for it!
[LG Optimus 3D] BigBadSheep:
Ripped off by LG you say... yes, I may say. But at least, in my case, I only paid 350 euro for 3D. While a friend of mine bought an iPhone 4S same time as me. And doing some comparison, a little game of "how many people will atract my phone?" I've won by far, same thing for Galaxy S2... same victory on the multimedia part of the phone, and so many other stuffs. It may be a rip off but is a unique phone and it will get better, because I put my trust in LG rather than in Samsung or iPhone(I'm speaking from personal experience with Samsung, after a F700V with a 3G burned module but ignored by assistance, a E250 with the screen cracked while I had it in my pocket and did some box movements, another Samsung - my father in law had it with signal loss...) Just have some faith and some patience. This phone is rocking and will do it for a long time

after all the comments that was posted here.. im still confused what to purchase..

i already got my money to buy but i still need to think what phone to get..

im not looking into a new quadcore phones that will come out early this year so dont suggest it here :p i saw Motorola Photon 4G which has a same specs as my 2nd choice Optimus 2X but Moto Photon has 4.3 inch display which im considering right now but the problem is.. . it is not available here in my country *Philippines :(

any other phone that you can suggest :)
[LG Optimus 3D] lag14:
I can't understand how someone can be a fanboy of this piece of s**t called LG.

I recommend to buy another brand. But if you're obsessed with LG. I can sell you my Optimus 3D. No returns allowed!!!
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
The reasons to choose 2x:

Tegra2 for games.

Wolfson audio and voodoo control for music. (thou lg 3d's quality is more than enough for normal listener)

Many custom roms.

The reasons to choose 3d:

Bigger screen.

More efficient cpu + gpu in my opinion (thou optimization is more important)

3d thing which is beautiful

A hope that ICS update can fix the world and this phone can get a boost. (thou the belief shouldn't be too optimistic, just in case)
[LG Optimus 3D] orlox:
I had both phones for a lot of time.

If you want to play games optimus 2x is the device of choice or motorola atrix. Tegra cann't play HD video as good as o3ds omap but at games is superb. Also with cyanogen o2x can get external controller.

As a gamer I would buy o2x but I wish its screen was o3d big.

Hello,

My friend has an LG Optimus 3D running stock froyo which i rooted for him and installed ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 5.8.1.5. Everything was fine until a notification for an upgrade to gingerbread was available and he clicked install.

Now the phone can only boot into recovery. I tried to restore a previous backup, flash the zip of a froyo rom. But to no avail.

Any idea what might be cause and solution?

Thanks in advance

UPDATE: I connected to adb and gave the command "adb reboot-bootloader" and it still boots into recovery. Is it normal?

UPDATE 1: I tried using the LGMobileUpdate tool to install the update in the hope that it solved the problem, it detects the phone, downloads and extracts the rom, start the update process and then gives a connection error. The error isn't given during the detecting phone phase but when it start to apply the update.

Thanks for your reply

I have already tried to install through clockworkmod the zip of the stock froyo rom (from the thread of official roms). Nothing changes. Neither restoring a backup from clockworkmod changed anything.

As I remember that the kernel is part of the rom zip, I think the problem is more low level.

Tomorrow I'll try doing this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1244490

If you use ubuntu, try ubuntu one it offers 5 Gb for free.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sam5154:
Check Sugarsync.It is even more feature-rich than Dropbox. and it's android client has a real sync option. it can sync your selected files in background just like PC clients. so there is no need to download your files everytime you need them.Dropbox client is running all the time in background but it doesn't sync anything. just consume battery and cpu juice for nothing.

If you dont need the auto sync ability, i suggest one of box,Drop Box or Sugarsync. All these three is supported by "ES file Explorer". which lets you manage them just as easy as any local storage on your handset. and you wont need any power consumer client.

I myself use sugarsync for it's nice client, and BOX on ES for its huge free 50GB storage.

Hmm Thanks I myself use Es file explorer too. Just some question. How Much file size I can upload via Box Drop box n Sugar sync. And can you explain some more how to get 50gb on Box?

here in our country the price of Optimus 2X is $362 while Optimus 3D is $376 ~

any suggestions what to buy this mid of April?. .

I tried both of them. If you like games, i would suggest you buying p920 (3D) version, because of better GPU performance. Stock ROM battery life is much better. 3D is worthless bus still give it a shot :)

Oh and 3D have a camera button which i miss in my O2x.. plus bigger screen. the only thing i remember that screen on O2X was more responsive. Maybe i am wrong, but i think it was. :) Personally i go for 3D no doubt.

If you are going to use a custom ROM like CM, then you can set e.g. the volume button as a camera button

If 3D is not too important for you then you should choose O2X because it has better performance, lighter, thinner.
