[LG Optimus 4X HD] raviboy100:
People if you are considering to buy a lg optimus 4x hd and came here to read whats bad or good about it please DONT

Yes this is because most people coming here are to complain ( speaking from my experience) so you will get demotivated a lot even though this phone is great ( once again in my opinion)

Even though our camera is not the best nor is out optimus UI despite those small things its a great phone for a very good price
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tobixdev:
I agree you :) cm camera is actually not so bad in good light (low light it sucks as much as the normal). Optimus UI is just a matter of taste I like it. For now it has one of the best performance/price relation I think. Maybe its not the bestto play hardcore games as it gets hotbut with underclocking your cpu and play games its very good.I thinkthe simple mobile games are way better than the FPS. just my opinion
[LG Optimus 4X HD] NightyNight:
flash CM 10.1 and your golden. Pretty much a Nexus 4, cept no screen space is wasted for the soft keys.:good:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] reas0n:
In Poland u can buy new 4X for 220€, it's cheaper than SGS2!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
LOL, in at lot of places in UK the S2 actually costs more than the S3!!! Thought this was gonna be another complaining thread but its not! Not sure its necessary though, people can read and make up their own mind

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Death Of Rats:
Have to agree. I've got an HOX but I got my wife the 4x and I must say I am impressed. For its price I do belive it's unbeatable.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] raviboy100:
With a proper stable kernel our phones will be truly one of the best phones i beleave

Arent Nexi budget phones? In all other places where there is no Google Play, they are expensive and when everybody and their mom suggests getting one, it gets annoying really fast.

Here is the thing with Nexus phones. The only good thing about them is Google updates. Stock android experience and so on are all covered by custom roms.

And as for this thread. If you have money, dont bother with the 4X HD. There are better phones out there with better stock roms and quality I believe.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] nomaj:
O4X was my first android phone. And i love it.

But i spent to much time waiting on JB on unlock bootloader on rom, everything... so i sell it =(

I changed for SG3 - and those two can not be compared. On SG3 battery for me stands for full 2 days! on OX4 max 12h. Camera is much much better on SG3 - and those are most important things for me on phone.

O4X is cheap nice hardware... but bad support bad battery ( strange wakelocks) is downsides.

And yes... dust under screen... i hated so much LG about that!

Also using this opportunity to say bye to all O4X lovers and community. Se ya i another thread ;)

My Galaxy S3 Battery Life Sucks Please Help! 15% After Only 7 Hours > from sg3 user, so many trolls on the net, Im happy with my o4x and happy I didnt pay twice as much for a phone just to play a couple of games better, now there is unlocked bootloader wonder why such animosity or is it jealousy !
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Winudert:
I never sell my phones. I have a ton of it (including Nokia 1610 from 1996). I've made mistake with Optimus 4X HD, but it's my fault. In the other hand, we don't have Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie or decent phones with powerful chips (Tegra 4, Snapdragon 800), so I will wait for next flagship. My first Android is still working, HTC Hero from 2009 summer.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
After nvidias fail with tegra 2&3, you would really risk tegra 4? I accidently left my phone locked to single core only yesterday, and was playing a few heavy games. There was barely any difference. The CPU is insanely powerful, but the GPU is a total POS :p

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Captain Sisko:
nVidias fail with Tegra 2 and 3? The support from manufacturers wasn't exactly massive but they were great chips.

I'd say the Optimus 2x had better performance when it was running a custom ROM, I ran Nova HD ROM it was overclockable and ran really well.

I havent taken the plunge with my 4X rooting and custom ROMs yet, I'm waiting for the warranty to run out first!!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
Well in terms of general use and multitasking the quad core is incredible, but considering I just bought a cheap dual core powervr 531 tablet and it runs some games better there's deffo something wrong. I do believe however that game devs are partly to blame, but its enough to make me steer clear

[LG Optimus 4X HD] tricky-tricky:
Hey guys... Just wondering how is the call quality with your phone?... Do you get drop outs?... Is the signal reception good and consistent? Thanks
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Insomniac535:
I don't make many calls with my phone, but so far the call quality has been fine.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] shadowcore:
Seriously, I gotta hand it to people who buy quad core phones for games because phones are the worst possible medium where you would want to play a game. If you wanna play games, go get a tablet or a desktop PC with reasonable cooling. A decent PC that can run EVERY phone game costs around 450 euro. Thats cheaper than a Note2 and litterally every 2013 high priced phone.

The reason why this phone cant play games as "Smooth" as you people would want is because of throttling and bad optimization. The heat that is generated while playing a game is ridiculous and the CPU+GPU overheat because there is no cooling happeing there.

The only, and I mean, the only reason why the S3 runs cooler is because of better throttling, not because it has "Efficient" internals.

There are many devices out there that do the "Gamiing" part better but you would be paying 80- 100 Euros more for just getting a "Better" phone for gaming.

When somebody comes around says "Oh, the S3 is so much better"and LG has dust underscreen. May I remind you that the S3 up until January this year had a brickbug +restarting bug and the restarting bug has NOT been fixed. The brickbug was a internal memory error.The restarting bug seems to happen at random with people with the "Insane" chip. I was in a dilemma when I bought this phone. Do I wanna risk buying an S3 and after 6 months it could become useless? I said no.

If you are happy to invest +350 to +400 euro for a phone just because you find the beauty problems of this phone bad then for "Insert your favorite vendor"s sake do so.

I am happy to have a functional phone that when compared with the price of other phones, just blows them out of the water. Phones like the

S2, Sony Xperia S,T,SP, Optimus G, Nexus 4(It costs around 400 euro where I live, compared to 280 euro with this phone.) and so on and so forth.

Hey, I challenge anybody to offer an alternative to this phone with a price range of :

300-350 euro

4.7 Coll HD or FULL HD IPS screen

Removable battery

MicroSD slot

16GB internal storage

The only alternative is the Huawei G615 but that thing is 4.5 coll, has only 8 GB internal storage and does not seem to have CM support.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] raviboy100:
Jep people keep comparing this woth the s3 but the reason why i think this is better because there is soo much more potential for this phone as soon as game developers pay attention to tegra 3 optimization our gaming will get better for those who care about gaming

And the multitasking is flawless here never experienced a single freeze or lagg

I am more then satisfied with the o4x

Posted by a proud owner of a lg p880
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mobrol:
In my opinion this phone is a very good device for daily use!

But keep in mind that if you want to make it better you should unlock the bootloader and try one of the new-under developement kernels!

The build materials are very good and much better than the S3's ones!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Rudjgaard:
I placed my order for a new 4x just before coming over to this thread. (i only check development sections when buying a phone)

To me it seemed a great bargain, great specs for a reasonable price (280€ new with IT warranty and shipping) along with being one of the few phones i believe to have a decent design (which all in all it's not that irrelevant)

I come from the sony xperia line and i never saw so many threads dedicated to how (mostly) bad the phone is....

I'm the maintainer of ParanoidAndroid for 2011 xperia's, so not a total noob when it come to tweaking and messing with the phone

This considered, since i have time 'till tomorrow to eventually cancel the order, does this phone have some serious major bugs (i'm not talking about tiny things you don't like, if the PERFECT phone was out there everyone would be buying that) are there major structural/design faults (ie. does the overheating brick the phone on the long run? Won't most bugs i read about be resolved now that bl are unlocked an we can start dev on kernels?)

Thanks
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
Bootloader unlock and kernels/roms are available, the phone does get hot but it doesn't cause issues for most. When I had mine on the initial v10a firmware gaming took the CPU temp to 80° with no Ill effects
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Rudjgaard:
I read that overheating is caused by bad throttling, which should be (easily) fixable by tweaking/developing better kernel schedulers and governors. I should be able to give some contribution to that...That should also take care of battery drainage which also seems a big issue from reading around.

The only other issue i was worried about i caught from reading is about the screen, heard people complaining about dust/dirt getting underneath it?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] raviboy100:
Hey i just read your post on joining as a compiler its good to hear that you can help us to improve our devices

The heat problem is not a problem in my opinion

Im on latest cm10.1 nightlys and underclocked my cpu to 1000mhz and im still able to play bombshells game which is a quite heavy game and the phone doesn't get hot,

So its eithdr the cpu being underclocked or cm10.1

Anyway im fully happy
[LG Optimus 4X HD] someth1ng:
Definitely a decent phone and much better with official CM 10.1 and custom kernels (eg iodak).
[LG Optimus 4X HD] salmonpar:
superb value for price

Ive owned an iphone 4s,iphone 5 ,nexus 4,sony experia t...all traded in at different times now own lg p880 installed super xe rom 4.2.2 and you know what? This beats the whole lot even the nexus 4,,,ok ok battery life did suck like them all but disable certain apps turn wifi off when not in use and battery time lasts a whole lot longer:D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hellchan:
It's a good phone but I'd say get more mainstream Android phone like the galaxy s3 or 4 that is known to be a stellar phone rather than this one. Faster updates and Bigger community.

And it won't cost you much on contracts too.

Buy this only if you're really stuck for cash. Otherwise it's not worth the inconvenience really. I'm going to try the new blackberry for awhile, I've grown tired of Android being released riddled with problems all the time and waiting for our amazing devs here to fix it for them.

Thanks to them my 4x hd is somewhat a semblance of a smartphone instead of a paperweight
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Koersten:
Just bought it comming from sgs+. Waiting eagerly:)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Maczuga:
I own this phone for over 1 month, and I can surely say, that it's awesome! I don't have any problems with the battery (usualy I charge it once for 2 days - my record is 2d. 14h). I changed the ROM to CM 10.1 and I'm using it for a long time. I don't have any issues with lags. 3 days ago I tried with kernel change and now it's just better. Now I can play GTA: Vice City at almost full details (dyn. shades off) with full FPS. Of course SGS3 is much better developed, because of popularity, but as you cn see more and more ROMs are coming every day. We have AOSP, AOKP, CM, PA, PAC-MAN and many other famous ROMs. We don't have to complain, it's really great phone and the developement is now getting serious, we had locked bootloader for a long time, now things have changed.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
Really. You want the new blackberry, plagued with sudden death issues like the xperia Z and no navigation buttons instead relying on horrible gestures like the playbook. All opinion of course, but I have a feeling you will not have fun
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hellchan:
I used a friends q10 for a week and had no such problems to date. Phone runs smoothly and lag free didn't hang at all. I had my initial reservations about the gestures too but they are actually very intuitive once you know them though there is a learn learning, or more so a memory curve.

Our 4x has navigation buttons?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Freman Bloodglaive:
Hi, I've just bought an Optimus 4X.

I currently own a 2X running stock Android 4.0.4, so you could say I'm a glutton for punishment. :)

When the phone arrives I plan to install stock Jellybean (I prefer stock because everything should work) and unlock the bootloader.

Just a couple questions.

It'll be a Hong Kong market phone I suspect, and I'm in New Zealand, although I don't think that matters for flashing.

Which stock Jellybean variant have people had the most success with?

What procedure is recommended for installing and unlocking?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] raviboy100:
try searching root key made in this form under general topic

i really recommend after a while to try cm10.1 its great and I've been using it for weeks and for me its more stable then stock because the battery is accualy lasting longer than 8 hours
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mobrol:
Yeap but the vibration is sooo calm.. In my opinion is so important because is the only way to realise you have a call when in a noisy environment with the phone in pocket...

The stock rom vibration is far better
[LG Optimus 4X HD] TheNoticer:
So... I don't know why you people complaining about the 4XHD. I saw some reviews on YouTube about the O4X and it really isn't a bad phone for it's price range. By the way: Samsung's TouchWiz laggs as hell and you have to wait 10 or more seconds to draw your home screen. I had the Note before I sold it. Now I have money for the 4XHD. In the gaming reviews this phone perfomes very well. For 249 Euros you get Tegra 3 :p, NFC, a nice 4.7 Zoll IPS Display. Yes LG's update politic sucks. But you are on Jelly Bean 4.1.2. There is still around a year left to them for making some updates. The Note doesn't receive updates anymore. If you really want to be on 4.2.2 or 4.3 (which comes soon) use CyanogenMod. I already reserved it on a Shop in Germany. Those f*ckers don't have it in black anymore.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] markos_7772:
I own this phone last week. I tested different ROMs, and now Im with Zaiben Stock based, with PurePerformance, and gettin over 14100 at AnTutu (the most was 14680). Im so happy with the phone; I dont use it to play so much, but for dayly usage its incredibly fast! While using, the battery drains a lot, its real (something like 20%/h), but on stand by, it doesnt drain... I go to sleep with no 3G and no Wifi, only signal, and I wake up with the same amount of battery.. Thats good.. The IPS display is great.. Im happy with my O4X...

And I tested a SG3 of a friend in AnTuTu, and it reaches only 12500...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] fguzmant:
It´s one of the “best looking" phones and It works flawlessly to me, I use stock JB 4.1.2 V20a Euro open with iodak kernel v7.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] elfen.lied:
The main problem this phone has is the battery drain caused by screen and by active Wi-Fi. It simply drains way too much if Wi-Fi is active and you're browsing. Other than that, flash Arrarrangi's ROM and you have no worries
[LG Optimus 4X HD] raviboy100:
optimus kernel my dimitrus has a wifi update driver zip avaialable in his topic

i downloaded and flashed and the battery is waay better i dont see any drain because of wifi
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SunHounD:
Got to agree, it is an amazing phone.....but screen and wifi eat the juice like a beast!!

It is a beautiful phone.....if only they had opted for a better rear cover, instead of that cheap plastic leather imitation, than this phone would truly be a class piece.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
I like the back cover, it's not meant to imitate leather it's just textured to provide nice grip. Sure beats Samsung designs with smooth glossy finish that feels sweaty and easy to drop :D

[LG Optimus 4X HD] SunHounD:
GF has a sammy, I don't like it.

Regarding the 04X, looking at it, I think "wow, nice and solid....quality" I just think the back detracts from that....

.....ah well, to each his own. At least, unlike some phones you don't need a screwdriver to pry the back off :D

i like the phone as well i mean the looks

it's unique the side which is 2 strips of metal
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SunHounD:
new peeve

forgetting the comment i made on the rear of the phone, my new pet peeve is just what a "damn fingerprint magnet " the screen is.

getting in to the habit of carrying tissue with me now....i must look daft tho, sat in mcDonalds, spit polishing my phone :D

really gonna have to look for a screen protector
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Tsaska:
I have been searching phones at this price rate and found that huawei ascend p6 costs about 30 euros more and has almost same specs (2 GB RAM). I have no idea if the phone is good or not, but it beats 4X in benchmarks (which obviously means nothing). And the huawei has a locked bootloader and zero roms and kernels... what comes to samsung, well I'm not a big fan of touchwiz.

But as i was watching reviews (about 4X) from youtube and reading from engadget and phonearena etc. I found that almost all of the feedback was positive. But the phone and the reviews are from 2012. Does that make any difference? Is the phone smooth outside games? And is the gaming bad with games that are not tegra optimised?

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus 4X HD] :
In my opinion, my S3 sucks, the back feels cheap and plastic and has so many finger print on it, it has great development, but that's no fun for a phone really, i ordered this phone and it will be arriving tomorrow morning.. I will be checking my tegra version and i hope i have a strong one! But i don't look to game on phones, i just wanted a phone that would be Smooth more then anything for when i'm whatsapping or streaming, i don't hugely multi task or heavy game, subway surfers at most, i don't mind heat or phone/battery/sd card life, because i have other phones.. i just want what will look the best because i do photography, a good looking phone with a good looking UI to match on a nice retro desk next to an i5 would be key, whats this dust under screen? :s and is there a way to prevent it from happening to me?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
Keep it away from dust? :P I never had this issue. I personally like the s3 but I don't like its build quality, the O4X has a stronger bezel which save my screen from the same fate as my dads s3. As for photography you would have done better with a Sony or HTC but our camera is good on stock JB. ICS had focus problems

Sent from my smart frying pan (Tegra 3)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] :
I have a nice £750 camera for Photography, i meant i would be taking pictures of the phone itself, and s3 and One X are too mainstream, i liked the look of this phone and i think the slight chrome edging will be great! However iv'e read up on the forums about getting this phone CM10.1'd but i'm still unsure, not too sure whether i can unlock bootloader or whatever, the phone comes tomorrow so i will be able to try, but if i could have a helping hand over pm in the morning by any of yous i'd be very grateful <3
[LG Optimus 4X HD] markos_7772:
I don´t think wi fi eats it a lot... With wifi on, in stand by, it drains 1% every 1 1/2 hour.. The big problem is the the screen
[LG Optimus 4X HD] zri:
i agree, the screen uses up a hell lot of battery, its due to it being LCD and not amoled
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RomWiz:
I'm thinking of buying this phone, i mean it's a great price for a 4.7 inch phone with a quad core processor.

I can't find any phone in the same price range that is as good as this.

And it has cm 10.1 so what more can you ask for? :P
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dante501:
Battery is pretty much the only thing that sucks even with a 4500 mah battery it doesn't last long. And CM 10.1 doesn't really improve the battery either. And like always CM is full with bugs. It is just so overrated as rom. But ppl love it for no apparent reason. I wish the battery would be do much better on this phone.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] raviboy100:
yeah battery is standard because dont expect days or weeks from a smartphonw

im getting 1 full day which is all i ask and thus its good

besides we also got 2 versions of cm10.2 android 4.3 =D we are very lucky to have it already
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sui785:
This phone also has issues with baseband_xmm and wlan rx wakelocks. Only on stock 4.0.3 these issues aren't present but as soon as you update to 4.1.2 or a custom rom they start showing up. I wouldn't buy the phone if I were you.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] raviboy100:
cm10.1 stable resolved the baseband xmm since i did not set it at bbs anymore

besides that it is your own opinion

i would but this phone again if ui had to choose
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JoinTheRealms:
The phones battery isnt its selling point, and also not the worse battery ive come across either. Ive ran cm10 and cm10 based roms from the moment i brought the phone but have since gone back to stock and the battery life is much better.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] chasepoes:
You don't have to go the CM route. There are other ROMS out there. I considered selling my phone, because of the lackluster batterylife. But after installing a custom ROM and Kernel, I'm loving it again and use it as my daily driver.

Battery now easily lasts the entire day with moderate to heavy use. No baseband wakelock issues. Games I don't play a lot, but the ones I play run perfectly. Camera takes decent pictures (maybe S3/S4 is better, but I use a camera for good pictures). MHL I don't use, I've got a media-tank for that.

Rock stable operation and smooth multitasking..What more can one ask for at that price-point?

Its on par speed-wise with S3, it's not to big like S4..No really..Great phone. A real good value for money IMO. The only downside I can think of is tat you have to do some tinkering yourself with ROMS and kernels. That should not have to be necessary..But then again, all my phones since my HD2 have been running custom ROMS. My S2 was full of unwanted bloatware, HD2 was windows :crying:. And my P880 was on ICS not JB when I bought it and had bad battery life.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] raviboy100:
exactly by doing some rom tests you find the best suitable for you
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kw930:
Have been a user for O4X for 1week+, so far I would say quite a good phone with the price I paid.

Only thing is the battery as everybody complaining. Anyway, previously has installed custom kernel on stock JB, good battery during standby time, but bad on onscreen time. Now run with custom Magic rom, hope will improve.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] vector81:
did you find any improvement for what concerns the battery temperature?
