I find my 4x battery life is fine . But I don't find the phone as perfected in design, you know what I mean ? I feel like lg just made that phone because they had equipments , they didnt put much thinking in it , they just putted chips together and thats it. There's no effort in the software, no good customer support ... i used to have htc sensation, and I found lots of differences between htc and lg ... htc design is spectacular, and the htc sense is amazing ! Also their software updates were good , and they kept an eye on their devices , they offered the dropbox 25gb free , even though my phone wasnt based with sense above 3,5 .. Finally the thing that I hate about my phone , the video camera is so dark !! Most of the time I am not able to capture what I am planning too even though there's enough light. Also sometimes i face problems capturing details bec of that problem. I am trying to change to htc One
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
You used to get Box storage with LG. Though I never used it. I kind of like the 4X's design, but that's one's personal view. Using custom ROMs, preferably AOSP or CM ones, I don't really care about LG's updates, though they provide a better source for the devs.

I love it

bought it last month,

running CM10.1,

it completely fits my purpose.

I love my 4X HD, I now have ROM Zaiben
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Androidmarketuser:
I'm new to the O4X, owned a HTC Desire before and I love this device :)

I got it for 199€ and I like it even more than my friends' Galaxy S3.

The battery life is really okay with custom rom/kernel and btw NFC tags are simply awesome :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RomWiz:
I am really happy with this device.

There's only one downside, and that's the battery.

I can't seem to get a full day of battery even though i don't use it very much.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
Try a CM-based rom, it's much better. I can get more than a day on CM10.2 + iodak v08 with normal usage (around 1.5-2 hours on-screen time).
[LG Optimus 4X HD] s4wk:
I think this smartphone comes with a nice hardware, but bad drivers implementations. Many users have problems with battery drain and wakelocks.

Installing a ROM modification is a must, if you want to benefit of all device's power. Done that, it's a good smartphone i really like it :victory:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] baxtex:
I'm very happy with mine. The design is okay, not the best, but it does the job. But I love the performance I got for that little money, about 199 euros. (compare it to Galaxy S4 that goes for about 600 euros, iphone 5 650eu)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ~MaX~:
where do you live? i live in germany and i payed 250€ two months ago
[LG Optimus 4X HD] baxtex:

I was also very happy at first. Now I'm using an UMI X2 and I'm even more happy. :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dbt0210:
If I had known that :(

I spent 280€ for it here in Germany just a few months ago. Very well worth the money though. It's a good phone, at least if you use your favorite custom rom for it. And now that somebody is porting PA too, ... :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] nmbbf:
Not that happy. Stock rom is a crap, and cm is the only rom with an average battery life, but has some cons, such as ****ty camera anda ugly UI . Anyways, it's a great phone, but the bigger problem is really battery life, and low number of developers
[LG Optimus 4X HD] darkren:
Im kinda happy i like the screen and stuff the things i dont like that much is gaming on this phone, my old 2x had much higher fps then this 1 :( kinda sad. Sorry for my bad english im dutch 15 y old :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] prichm1992:
I love mine. Fast and reliable. It's lightweight, good for gaming, nice bright screen, and my thumbs don't stick to it. My only wish is that it wouldn't get so friggin hot. I have to keep it at dual core 1.5ghz on conservative. GPU at 275mhz. I also wish I waited 2 months to get it. (Paid 391usd for it, dropped to 290)

I'm thinking that with time, we'll get more developers (we have some very good ones already), but I know what you mean.

Continue sense port for example, perfect the work we have, etc etc, I hope this device will get more attention with time :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] THEEPICNOOOOOOOOOOOOB:
Gaming performance is pretty good after using a different kernel, but it heats up to high temps easily. I guess its pretty worth the money if u wanted a mid range phone?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
Too much trouble for a high end device (at least it was high end some time ago). I expected the phone to be similiar to other top devices, but it disapointed me.

Sold mine today.

Thanks everyone for helping me when i needed. :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] nmbbf:
Well Idts, as the LG Optimus G Pro came out, attention goes to it, not our device... I think it was undervalued by almost everyone :/
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dzadzar:
I would be more happy than I am, if 4x wouldn't become hot after some work or fun with it. But besides that it's ok.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] bajoel_cilik:
Not that happy

Not that happy. Comparing to my s3 and nexus 7, this device has a lot of flaws I am not comfortable with. Battery life is the worst amongst 3. Cpu heat is intolerable, using 4 core and at the default speed of 1.5, my device shutdown after 45 minutes of video playback. My battery drains a lot when connected to mobile network although it is mainly standby (so I have to carry spare battery and my charger around if I want to go out for more than 8 hours). Poor sound quality.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] prichm1992:
Sadly, no matter how many devs we he have, 1.5ghz will always run too hot for this machine. If I remember right, the CPU is 45nm. That's hardware and cannot be lowered. Just try 1.3ghz 4 cores, conservative, 200mhz 3d 100mhz 2d. That's about as good as it gets.

It's not completely awful. On some ROMs battery life can be good or even great. It just gets too hot and always will. It has to throttle and therefore will under perform quickly.

This post officially rescinds my earlier one; I had never used another quad core smartphone before and didn't know how bad it really was.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] AdiSimpson:
after 1,5years i and my wife hate our x4 phones. losing signal is the most anoying thing that we have with our provider, only restart fixes it, and many other flaws.

its slow for its hardware, thats my opinion. htc one x, is much better. many say that its buttery smooth, i tested so many roms and kernels, and never had really that feeling thats its "buttery" smooth.

6 month left, than this phone can die peacefully :highfive:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] jamesclinton:
Worst android mobile phone ever used

This is the worst android phone i´ve ever owned, the firmware lag as hell,phone gets hot not to talk abt the signal lost even my old HTC EVO 3D is faster than this crappy device and the worst part is LG don´t even care to fix or update it :( this is definitely going to be my last LG device.

The phone is abt 5 month old and am already looking for something else, i bought this phone just bcos of the removable battery and that´s was my biggest mistake.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] IcanhasLG:
Regators complete

Stock firmware is awesome on this phone in comparison to anything else in its price range (mainly ZTE, Alcatel and Motorola, all of them with less than half of the performance for doing anything beyond answering a call).

I have not noticed any of the problems you mention.

In the future, buy an Iphone, then you can pay five times as much for the same performance and when a new one comes out it'll be worth almost as much as a used P880.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] IcanhasLG:
That was NOT on stock, i know because there is no way 4 cores would be active during video playback, i watched full HD streaming movies on stock and there was no problem what so ever, in fact it was running on LPM core at all times.

If you mess up your phone to this point and don't use direct scripts to handle the different modes you will have a bad time.

Regarding the mobile network, stock 4.1.2 lasts more than 14 hours for me when surfing quite a lot.

make sure you tell everyone what you did (and yeah, i know i know, you're an "expert" who "made his phone better") before you proclaim that it's the stock phone that isn't good, you know, so they can avoid doing what you did.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Stevic Milos:
Totaly agree with IcanhasLG! First of all there is no way phone can get hot during video playback on stock rom. I posted my battery life screen-shot month ago where I have 5h30min onscreen time which was mainly video playback and phone wasn't even mild (27 degrees celsius) at the time.

Everything depends what you do with your phone and what apps you have. I use stock rom and stock kernel. I have no problem with wakelocks, lose 1-3% per night with Data and Sync ON. No problems with GPS, WiFi, BT, lost IMEI etc. like most of the roms.

Only problem is no USB OTG suport but it should be fixed with iodak kernel hopefully soon. When that happens i will change the kernel. Unit then stock is better than most roms.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] bajoel_cilik:
As a matter of fact, I did try different stock roms (10c,10d, and 20a). Also custom roms. Almost all my videos can only be played without stuttering on custom roms. Also my other devices did not use stock roms as well and I used exactly the same videos to make that comparison. I mostly used my phones for music and playing videos. That is why I make that comparison. I never claimed I am an expert and making my phone better. You use it differently and setting up your phone differently, that is all. Also I thought this post is commented based on individual experience not just some "specialist commentators" want to hear.. Well that phone of mine is gone anyway..;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Labeo772:
i'm very disappointed by this phone.

Battery drains ridiculously fast, and device is always hot as hell.

i won't buy another LG, that's for sure !
[LG Optimus 4X HD] PenguinStyle:
Ok, then go and buy a sammy device. You pay x1.5 more for ads you see in TV and on websites. Totally worth it...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Labeo772:
I dind;t say samsung worth the money, did i ?!?!

lg just have too many problems.

On paper this phone is pretty good, but in real life :eek:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ottomanhero:
Gotta agree.I was surprised to find a phone this good in such low price range.Removeable battery, quad core and chipset by top graphics card seller nvidia.Couldn't ask for a better phone.

Then my phone arrived.I expected it to be good enough to compare with S3.But then I realized it's GPU isn't so good, stock kernel is just a kernel created to keep the phone cool.

A quadcore phone with 45nm process plus a power saving GPU and a slow ass RAM, is our phone.

The RAM is so slow that I can't really play any racing games without feeling any lagspikes.Even HTC one S (dual core 1.5 ghz adreno 225) has better performance than our phone's.

I was one of those samsung haters.I hated samsung for selling phones with such high price and always tried to prefer other phone manufacturers.I would buy S3 if I knew this phone was like this irl.

I love the phone, but battery drain is ridiculous!

But for the specs and price, I'm not complaining!!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] LS.xD:
Stock system configuration is crappy as h...

After trying a lot of custom roms, i'm on latest SlimKat 4.6.

I can really suggest "Tegra Overclock" + "Performance Controls". I really had troubles finding apps that let me configure really ALL important kernel related settings. I tried every possible app before.

Device won't feel like a "heating" anymore end even battery last a little longer :)

Not as good as my HTC but at least a usable smartphone :P

Guys,serious question now. Galaxy nexus or our phone? I had gnex before but i dont remember it alot..so i dont know should i just keep the 4x or just buy a gnex(in wich im totally in love)..
[LG Optimus 4X HD] abhi08638:
Realistically if you love flashing new ROMs, I'd stick with the 4x. This is mostly due to the gnex having an outdated and unsupported OMAP 4 processor, whereas our devs are keeping this phone alive with their amazing work

Hit the Thanks Button if I helped
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JoinTheRealms:
At least to me, it doesn't make much sense buying a device a generation lower than your current one, id keep the 4x.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] josip-k:
Yeah,but i am not really happy with this phone. The battery life is just awful,and because of that it isnt very fast,since i must underclock it to 1Ghz and i dont even use all four cores. So tehnically,i have a single core phone,wich is pretty sad in fact,because our phone could do sooooo much more.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] X-thunder:
So i bought my phone 1 1/2 years ago and never had regrets. But nevertheless, the on screen time, the heating and most of all the lack of official updates makes this phone sometimes a pain. I had to send it back to LG more than once, because of dust in the phone (lenses, LCD) and other not working parts. Now i can finally send it back to them and get my money back. (:laugh:)

Will buy a nexus 5, i think.

(Anyone got a better idea? Well the OnePlusOne can not be bought by now, which would be an alternative.)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
If you're unhappy with P880, swap it for another model. I'm not familiar with prices in Croatia, but I'm fairly sure they are similar to other places'. 4X is still best bang for the buck, so be prepared to either lose some specs or spend more money. You can solve problems you mentioned by buying a significantly larger capacity battery, such as Onite 4800 mAh.

If you can wait, go for 1+ 1, otherwise Nexus 5 or G2.

Manufacturers must really hate Microsoft and don't want to pay them few bucks for FAT32 patent royalties. Lack of mSD slot is what keeps me away from a lot of great models. May seem like a weak reason to some, but I have a 32GB card which is full.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] AdiSimpson:
X4 best bang for the buck ? i have no words to say how i hate this device. Today i find no rom / kernel combination without any problems. most after a day i find problems, FC, no gps fix, reboots, freezes, no wakeup, stuttering audio over headphones, ril problems....surfing the web is a pain in the ass. My wife is also happy to get everything but not the x4.

For me it feels like a rubbish China fake of a mobile phone.

In 2 month i ran it over with my car smileing !

I know how you feel. I will buy a galaxy nexus even tho its worse in specs,and give this one to my little bro to suffer a bit.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
Well, If you can find a phone with same specs for the price of 4X, sure, go and buy it. Obviously, you living in Germany have more choices and lower prices than most other places, but some of us don't. There are models that came close, but not quite. As for software problems, I wouldn't know, my unit runs on 4.1.2 fine.

Besides a short battery life with the original battery, I have no problems worth changing the 4X.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] AdiSimpson:
The specs says here nothing, maybe only for benchmarking. in reallife the phone sucks. I dont play, so tegra3 was for me a bad decision.

I know firsthand GS3 performs equally good and has just slightly better autonomy for about 50% higher price. Talking about new stock devices, ofc. A good friend of mine got his nearly at the same time I got my 4X and I've had multiple chances to compare them and to talk to the owner about his experience. Another friend of mine purchased an N4 8GB, again, around the same time, but I haven't had nearly as much opportunities to compare devices. I do know two things: He payed a third more than me and today he regularly struggles with storage space, despite maintaining in the begining that wouldn't be a problem. Oh, and the back glass cracked from heat not a month after the purchase, so he had to obtain a protective mebrane. All three phones need to be charged at the end of a day, no exception.

I´ve never been unhappy wt a device like this device, well thanks God i got rid of it very fast :laugh:

Edit:I got an N3 for a nice price from here http://www.eteleon.de/?handy_shop that device is a beast
[LG Optimus 4X HD] zbzdoncorleone:
Like all LG phones this one requires a bit of care. The original firmware 4.1.2 is the best original LG firmware I have tested so far. It is not exactly fast, but surprisingly stable in comparison to earlier ones. If you want newer firmware and more speed you will have to try a custom firmware. I have come to love Vanir Rom in that regard. It is minimalist, but lean and quick. The Jelly Bean version is stable and runs practically without problems and even the Kitkat nightlies are really great, but a bit more experimental of course. If you are not comfortable with custom firmware and not satisfied with your 4x you probably really should get another device...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Mortibus:
Still using stock 4.0.3, i never felt a need to update, it just works, maybe i miss some gravity box tweaks, but i'd rather have a stable device and decent battery life

Jumped shipped to iPhone

Having originally bought the LG Optimus 4X HD in February 2013, it had so much promise with its Quad Core and Tegra 3 specs but it never lived up to the hype as LG stopped supporting it very early.

I have now got an iPhone and I must say it is miles better it terms of stability and performance. I never thought i'd say this about anything Apple but you really do get what you pay for.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
Pfft OK then, apple battery life is just as bad, they're deliberately flimsy so you break it and pay for repair, and the OS is generally lousy. I admit the O4X has some shortcomings but my xperia sp cost less than a fifth of the latest iPhone and can match it easily. Come back to android you silly man :P

[LG Optimus 4X HD] prichm1992:
I hate iPhone just as much as the next guy, but 1.3ghz on an iPhone and 1.3ghz on an android are two completely different things. Trust me. You shouldn't hate iPhone so powerfully just because they are cut off from the rest of the world and godawfully expensive. Hey, at least most of us don't have one right? Hell, android performance didn't even start matching the iPod touch 4 until we got the galaxy s2/atrix 4g/etc. And those devices are flimsy and get hot under stress. Despite having 4x the ram and 2/3x processing power. I'll never pay for an idevice though. No freedom is no fun.

Rant aside, the 4x is the worst quad core device I've ever used. And I've had opportunities now to try quite a few.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] hutjeflut:
It really really bugs me when people complain about this Phone being bad...

First of since we have root i have disabled 2 cores on my device and the other 2 cores are clocked at 650 mhz.

i NEVER have any stutters its smooth every day all dat and ive bin running this rom (v10h) since its release and havent even bothered with a reset since then.

There is no delay after using it a long time there is no slow down there are simply no issues with tis Phone software wise.

If you have problems its at your own doing by either messing which stuff you know nothing about and should not have touched or because you installed some really crappy apps.

yesyerday i plugged my Phone back in with a battery time of 3 days and 8 hours standby with a screen on time of 2 hours 35 min after 15 months of use.with this battery.

That may seem a low screen on time but i have to add 40 min of that was DOA which is a VERRY badly optimized app that drains battery like crazy.

Even my 7 inch tablet that normaly lasts 12/13 hours browsing and so on lasts 6.5 hourswith that game.

And yes the battery life could be better then again this soc was NEVER intended to be in a Phone and yet is preforms just as well as the Onex and S3 which where its direct competitors and it did so at a way lower price and better build quality. (gotta love samsug plastic pcb and HTC's yellow screens).

So as you can see thats verry respectable data.

And once more i do not have delays or stutters if you do start deleting apps or reset your Phone and something is wrong.

The one and only flaw this Phone sometimes seems to have is that when i enter the camera app the brightness setting is messed up.

it shows brightness 0 but displays as brightness -3 however quickly swapping brightness 0 to -3 and to zero again solves this for a while.

Or you can just get a different app.

But really people if you have serious issues with your lg 4x hd start looking at what you did to it before you start blaming the Phone as if i can run it for 15 months without problems and you all cant then either LG has a 90% failure rate or you all are doing it wrong.

My 2 cents and irritation about the complaining people

Hutjeflut out.

i once achieved 7+ days stand by with stock out of the box lg 4x, obvioulsy i haven't touched the phone, only couple of calls
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Artisto:
I am VERY HAPPY with my P880, which I named Mercurius - as I did with my other devices, I mean naming them after ancient gods... But that's just my crazy attitude towards technology, let's get back to what this post's about.

So I charge my phone every evening, and usually I have about 30-40% of battery left after the whole day at the university. The on-screen time is about 1hr/30%, so it gives me something around 3,5h on-screen time if I go from 100% to 0%. That's on 3G, with screen brightness - at the most time - set to 0% (auto with Lux Lite). It may seem ridiculous to keep it at 0%, but it's still pretty bright for an in-door usage, and when the light is getting more intensive, the screen brightens up but it doesn't seem to shorten the battery life much.

I use SetCPU, governor conservative and clock set at 640MHz.

Also, I have the hidden EcoMode activated.

Another apps to help me keep the juice are DU Battery Saver and DS Battery Saver. The second one is quite obvious, it makes the phone standby really impressive, and the first one takes care of the charging process, which seems to cause the battery to last a little bit longer.

Recently I switched to 2G, just to check if the battery is going to last longer.

This morning I went down from 97% to 89% and achieved 30 minutes of on-screen time while browsing net on WiFi.

Currently I have 2h 53m of on-screen time and 24% of the battery left, so I guess it's quite possible to get 4 hours on-screen time.

And believe it or not - the phone is as fast as iPhone. I guess it's even faster, because I tested which one opens the dialer app faster, and P880 seemed to be a little bit ahead of the iPhone 5S.

Of course I can't lie and I have to say that sometimes it may stutter and slow a bit for a moment, but I guess it's usually caused by the governor which doesn't bring as much power as the phone needs in that certain moment.

So, that's it. After applying a few tweaks you can really get so much from this device.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] josip-k:
Yeah,with 640 Mhz on an quad core phone (which even has a low power core) that's really so much.
