[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
I don't know why people tend to be so aggressive behind a computer screen... neither why they tend to be so stupid...

If someone were to offer me a phone and they would give me the choice between an S2 or an O2X I would choose the S2 any given day. I'm the furthest away from being an LG fanboy... At most you could call me a Meshuggah fanboy... (I'm hoping you've heard of them, since they share your country of birth... I think they have better manners however).

However, at the time I bought my O2X, the S2 was a significantly more expensive option bought new (as I said over and over again) and I don't feel like the limited amount of RAM in my O2X is ruining my user experience at the point that it would make sense to spend the extra dolar for the S2.

Is this so hard to grasp??
[LG Optimus 2x] lovegambler:
hey all..

well, if U guyz believe on Quadrant Scores lem'me tell U a thing

Quadrant Scores

LG Optimus 2X: 2156 with stock ICS 4.0.4

Samsung Galaxy S2: 3078 with stock ICS 4.0.3

M not sayin this coz I use S2, my gf is havin 2x (the UI is smoother nd luks of 2X is killer..) but the thing is as we take this to hardware S2 is better in almost every aspect as compared with 2X..

the screen is better even both the front nd back Camera are better den 2X have compared some images with both with/without flash..

:Peace:
[LG Optimus 2x] kt-Froggy:
No, I don't... :p

This is one of the things people are very opinionated about... :) I absolutely love the screen on O2X - it beats S2 hands down. However, this is strictly about perception and personal preference - you just can't say AMOLED is a better hardware than LCD. In my mind, ANY AMOLED display (Super or Plus, PenTile or not, whatever) is obviously inferior to an IPS LCD. The only thing that's better about the S2 screen is the physical size.
[LG Optimus 2x] saaavikk:
OX2 as time passed

Round 1: 2 years back - My company let me choose between S2 and O2X - fixed budget, after trying both I chose O2X - definitely better display colors to look at, even when the O2X display is smaller - AND I LIKE THAT, FITS BETTER IN MY POCKET, lower price - allowed me to buy bigger external SD card. And tegra2, with combination of custom rom allowed me to run TABLET version of apps(ex. trainz simulator) and overall better gaming performance in games.

Sidenote: Yes, the S2 has more powerful gpu, but because of lack of support, U cannot use this potential, same situation was while back in PC sector: Kyro2 from PowerVR was more powerful than Geforce from Nvidia, but support, support, support : 1:0 for Nvidia. Owned both cards, switched to Nvidia...

Round 2: 1 year back - Still no ICS on both devices, playstation emulation on tegra2 no problem, still problems on S2 gpu, THD games run perfect and without problems, GTA3 runs perfect, still no benefit from larger RAM in the S2, with O2X clocked to 1,2 GHz, definitely better than S2

Round 3: 0.5 year back - Finally the S2 is the better phone, ICS rocks, O2X because of tegra2 (no drivers from Nvidia for ICS) seems to be doomed

Round 4: 3 months back - O2X gets the update, custom roms explode...future seems bright again, the S2 runs meanwhile JB. And I see now the lack of 512MB of ram, but when U kill unused, cached apps, it can be as fast as S2 - I admit, for a normal user the S2 is better now. ...but GTA: VC runs still better on O2X, than on the S2

So U get my point, when I had to make the decision, the S2 was overall worse, mainly because I use my smartphone for relaxation, means gaming, the tegra2 platform, even when slower, wins with compatibility, smoother performance. And honestly, I didn't needed a smartphone for making calls, or receiving emails, my old blackberry was made for this, not the S2 and definitely not the O2X, the battery life when online is tragic on both phones, compared to NOsmartphones. :laugh:
[LG Optimus 2x] Ferrum Master:
Nice said mate.
[LG Optimus 2x] vlada1102:
If you look at prices... s2 should be compared with 4x not 2x ... :)
[LG Optimus 2x] mark_hatred:
s2 is way better than o2x but if yo are on a tight budget then o2x will give you the functionality and the feel for a daily phone. In terms of customizability lg o2x owns s2 for o2x has the title of a"virtually unbrickable device" imho.
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
Nowadays it should thats true, in fact in my country a brandnew S2 and brandnew 4x cost exactly the same despite the 4x having superior hardware to the S2

Same in SERBIA... little less then 300e
[LG Optimus 2x] Cubel89:
The problem with all this is the service provided by LG after selling the product. I think the S2 has much more support aided by Samsung.
[LG Optimus 2x] aigaming:
I would always buy o2x over s2 couse i hate to have things that "all the people in hood" have ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] alex.sotir:
I am never buying an LG device again. It took them years to upgrade to ICS, and it was such a crappy ROM that I couldn't use it.

Meanwhile whoever got an S2 got updated to ICS and now to JB, both as early as possible and it's working perfectly. They never had to use any Custom ROM's.

The S2 has a better and bigger screen, it actually has Gorilla Glass, the plastic looks better and harder to scratch, more RAM.

So yes S2 is far superior to O2x from pretty much all aspects.
[LG Optimus 2x] Jishnu Sur™:
Lol ! Don't tell me that you did not know 2X has Gorilla too! :P
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
Please go and delete your S2 bootloader. Oh wait, you would brick it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Andy HOT:
U guys forget about pengus and tonyp which made oir phone superior to the s2..
[LG Optimus 2x] Doctor_hv:
No developers can make up for the shi*y RAM we have (384 MB).

Few days ago, I was in a bus, listening to music in Apollo, and I tried opening some web pages. And guess what happened, the music stopped, both in Chrome, and in stock browser, and both with Apollo or Google Play Music.

And I have tonyp's Parandroid CM10, and Pengus kernel, so it should be the best our phone can have at the moment.

It's such a shame they only put so little RAM in it. :(
[LG Optimus 2x] alex.sotir:
Actually I doubt it has it. Mine scratched way too easy for a Gorilla Glass.
[LG Optimus 2x] PaKii94:
Lol yet it does have it
[LG Optimus 2x] DavraZ:
Really didn't like my O2X untill the recent new bootloader, together with the great work of Tonyp and Pengus. I just love how they get so much out of my good old O2X.
[LG Optimus 2x] genemini:
In my country a used P990 and S2 cost just about the same, and 4X is slightly higher by half the price of 2X.

considering their age, buying Brand New is not really a good idea.

still, I vote for 2X! simply because it's UNBRICKABLE baby!! :D

plus we got awesome sets of Devs :) kudos!
[LG Optimus 2x] Robin2:
The recent builds of PA have some memory use issues. Try the latest beta of CM10.1 for new bootloader. (Beta4) It handles our low RAM amount surprisingly well and it's much less bloated than PA.
[LG Optimus 2x] Doctor_hv:
Does the Camera sphere work in this CM10.1.? The last time I tried the 4.2, the Camera sphere didn't work. Even on PA, I had to flash LG stock camera app.
[LG Optimus 2x] Peppe91:
mrtypin side

with the wonderful work of our developers and Pengus TonyP I'm seriously convinced that our dual is reborn, is another.

I honestly think that our lg 2x is better..
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
O2x over S2:

I personally like our screen better, its brighter and colors are just more pleasant, especially white on S2's screen is very tinted (looks blue..)

O2x in my eyes and ears is the better music player

Premium feel of the device (my mom has the white S2, its fugly and the plastic is very prone to fingerprints)

S2 over O2x:

Better camera

More ram
[LG Optimus 2x] GavenTilMaven:
Couldn't agree more! The display quality on the S2 is by far inferior to the O2x's, but I wouldn't mind if the O2x's was only a little bigger :)

[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
Though I agree this is an important piece of information (but not really a valid excuse for the ICS update to take so long), this should have been posted in the ICS 4.0 discussion thread.

Eventhough the info here is not very original, it's posted in a more readable way :)

[LG Optimus 2x] niko1983:
According with the author of the topic, I'm happy that someone has some news more detailed... But..

Ok it's huge update, but why they doesn't deliver a major update with all but quick memo? Maybe they so can release another one with quick memo when it's ready and maybe also they can check more directly how the update is working and doing the correction for some bugs that can come out...

My opinion is a major ics update, and then another minor with quick memo... Just to let us fell better with their past mistakes...

Related with update ICS for LG, several phones will be launched to ICS.They are LG Optimus Black, 2x, Lucid, Lte, 3D, PRADA, vu, Nitro HD, Spectrum. This various update could certainly have been there at the end of September.

That is all we know. Now that should answer yours as well as many other questions ;)

Just LG not giving a f*** about their customers...
[LG Optimus 2x] hellokittyr:
We are completely screwed by LG. never again! Where is the update. We have yet to have 1 good stable stock rom!
[LG Optimus 2x] Assassin44:
No Update

When will the update come out! Its 26th September, and I hear nothing about the P990 ICS update, while Samsung is updating their phones (even Galaxy S2) to Jelly Bean. LG thinks they are going to compete with just good hardware (4x HD and Optimus G) with virtually no software support. I had faith in LG, not any more!:(
[LG Optimus 2x] dmandn:
BS. So many people love to bag the **** out of everything for little to no reason. Most of their roms have been stable for this phone. I have returned to V10c from cyanogenmod (and various others) for it has been much more stable and gives over 1 day extra battery life than any of the third party roms so far.
[LG Optimus 2x] dakoookie:
The stock rom was the worst ever for me in terms of stability... My phone rebooted itself every other day.. But the battery was a little better yeah.
[LG Optimus 2x] everett_psycho:
my stock rom was usable but far from perfect, after a couple of weeks i switched to the modaco custom rom which was better. Eventually I switched to CM7 which was a noticeable speed improvement but still not 100% stable. I've never had my phone work properly as it should, it has persistently dropped network coverage for no reason and error's when trying to connect to wifi if left on for a couple of days.

That said i thought over the weekend i'd give tonyp's paranoid build a shot and so far so good, I have some issues with certain apps just closing for no reason but generally my network coverage and wifi has ironed itself out so i'm liking having it again. Looking forward to this "big update" whenever it arrives, it should fix the final few problems i've got and make the o2x what it probably should have been a long time ago
[LG Optimus 2x] mas2112:
I have to agree. There has been no good stock Rom so far. The froyo roms often had bsods and random reboots. The gingerbread roms were much better, but needed to be rebooted after a few days or else it would be laggy. CM7 is awesome, but i never found a good baseband that worked well with it, and it still had the lag issues. Probably because the drivers lg wrote suck.

I've seen Samsung phones with uptimes over 1000 hours and still smooth. My phone barely reaches 50 hours before it starts lagging. I regret choosing this phone to save some money. It totally was not worth it. I just hope ics makes everything better.
[LG Optimus 2x] black_mamba99:
use CM7 with symbiosis kernel..its lag free even after several hours.

for baseband,for me i use Get RIL app....the 218 baseband that comes with temasek ROM also works great even though it says baseband not matching...i use 0725(v10d europe);0823(v21d)
[LG Optimus 2x] mintjustin:
Still no news about this update? I don't think September is going to wait any longer.
[LG Optimus 2x] Beplexor:
Regardless of time zones (I'm in New Zealand which means it's already the 30th of September here), it looks like LG has once again bombed out on its customers. It's so frustrating; I have no problem with the phone's hardware, but I will make mistakes no longer when I choose my next phone in a few years time. I thought when I upgraded to the O2X I was perfectly fine; million times better in specs compared to my previous Galaxy 3, and a former flagship of LG, meaning it HAD to receive updates early, right?

Nope. Lesson learned: NEVER EVER buy from LG again.
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
motorola cancel atrxi 4G tegra2 specs. i'm afraid that LG will cancel ICS optimus 2x
[LG Optimus 2x] speedyranger:
motorola=Nvidia Ventana,

2X=Nvidia Harmony

:p
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi Beplexor, I think the lesson to be learned here is; in this world of smart phones never buy because of hardware specs. Always buy because of software. I bought a Galaxy NEXUS 3 months ago and I love it. The hardware specs are great. But what makes it a fantastic smart phone, is the software. In my case Jelly Bean.

HTC, SONY, ZTE, MOTOROLA, LG et al, are all hardware companies. They are all to varying degrees, clueless when it comes to software. Only a pure NEXUS device, from Google will get the support we expect. Just like Apple. Say what you will about the most valuable company in the world. But, one thing you can't say is, Apple leave their customers waiting over 24 months for a software update they never deliver. LG software sucks, plain and simple.

Lesson learned. Thanks LG. Time to stick my O2X on eBay.

Have fun. Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] everett_psycho:
Yet you keep coming back Anil. Just sell it already. If the galaxy nexus wasn't 12 months in to its life I'd get one, as it is I'm holding on for the next nexus and will turn by o2x in to a media player/ remote
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi everett_psycho, I was waiting to install the ICS update, I thought the handset might be more attractive to a prospective buyer. But now, time to just stick it on eBay. Along with my girlfriends old Transformer TF101, and the 18 month old Mac MINI. See, I'm just a slack b*****d when it comes to sticking stuff on eBay.

I hope you don't have to wait too long for the next NEXUS handset. I'm sure it will be a good one. Just don't wait too long dude, life is unique and short. You will never get those months waiting back. A second hand Galaxy NEXUS, shouldn't be too expensive, if funds are limited.

Either way dude, have fun. Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] everett_psycho:
There's speculation this morning it's due this month, this plus the developments in the ics thread and i think I'll cope. I've got the cash ready but after the update fiasco here I'm up for a phone that is just released and guaranteed some updates. Not sure what I'll do if LG get the nexus though
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi everett_psycho, I've not seen any rumours, but, then again I've not been looking. As long as it's a NEXUS device, it makes no odds who makes it. LG are good at making hardware, so no problems if they do build it for Google.

Fingers crossed the next NEXUS handset is everything you hope it will be.

Have fun. Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] ssuds:
no... both are Ventana.
[LG Optimus 2x] everett_psycho:
Current rumour is suggesting it will be launch in October and either be HTC or based on the lg optimus g. Not a bad bit of hardware to use as a base for Google to write vanilla android on if it's true. Would be the only way I would get another lg phone anyway
[LG Optimus 2x] Rezvonflux:
Confirmed: LG to release the Optimus 4X HD in October, Quad-Core ICS coming to WIND and Videotron

So it's this peachy? the O4X is coming to my part of the work, with ICS. And we're still waiting for an upgrade on the O2X?!

I've heard bad things about LG since the "Chocolate", but i couldn't resist being on of the first with a duel core. And the trouble i put my provider thru to get this phone shipped to me (waited extra 2 weeks for FIDO to find out they sent me a Galaxy Q)

I think i will rethink my provider (Fido is lagging big time behind their big brother, Rogers. They don't even have tablets, and have small variety of phones)

Wow, I just noticed the HTC Desire C from FIDO is 800mhz, and it comes with ICS?

Seems like LG is starting to look a lot like our Montreal cops, they seems to be hard at work out of the publics eye. And when they are out, it's all about the cash grabs.... :(

Wow, i just noticed the HTC Desire from FIDO is 800mhz, and it comes with ICS?
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi Rezvonflux, may I ask out of curiosity if Google NEXUS devices are available directly from the Play store in Canada?

Thanks. Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] Rezvonflux:
Ciao Gumba!

I know your face all too well, i've been to Temesak's topic many times :D

From what i can see after searching quickly, i didn't notice anything about the device... there's a bunch of themes, LWP's etcs.... but no phone.

PS: Rez is fine ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Ciao Rezvonflux, thanks for your reply. I hope seeing my face didn't scare you off.

I wonder what Temasek is building now? I'm sure whatever he's up to, it's producing decent builds.

Take care, and have fun. Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] Rezvonflux:
The traitor, ran off to with an \S3 i think ;)

But it's all good, i hope to maybe join him too one day (once my contract is over). He's a dedicated builder :good:

Actually, you remind me of a guy a knew... great guy
[LG Optimus 2x] hlbhlb:
Nice updates I think.

Hope that the release will not be buggy
[LG Optimus 2x] xerol:
hope we all get this features in our o2x asap.. without any lagg..
[LG Optimus 2x] Engr. GiLyn:
While other handsets are getting ready for a JB update, here we are stuck on GB. Hope that this is worth the wait.
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi, forgive my ignorance, but why are you guys, still expecting LG to release an update? They changed the first deadline, then they simply quietly missed the second deadline.

If past history is any indicator, the O2X is dead as far as LG are concerned. Are you guys hopeful because the Korean O2X got ICS?

To be clear, I'm simply curious. Thanks. Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
Hi Anil. Yes even if Korean su660 release ics sources we would be running cm10 in no time with hwa working. But you are probably right about stock rom
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi Harsh, thanks for your reply. So, do you agree there is a tiny to zero chance that LG will release an ICS update?

Have fun. Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] everett_psycho:
I think they would be stupid to not release it. Given that those that have used the leak and RC has said cm10 runs very well with it it can't be far from finished. If that is the case not releasing would cause an outcry on here and do some serious damage to lgs Mobil departments reputation
