[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeep447:
I'm definitely not trying to knock anyone's opinion but just thought I'd toss mine into the mix too. I always try to stay open minded with companies because I'm aware and understand that we don't live in a perfect world, and I hate to say it but the only company that has ever gotten me to say "I'll never buy another one of their products again".. is LG. I don't know if you guys remember it but I'm pretty sure anyone who had this phone too will understand exactly where I'm coming from, but it's from when I made the unfortunate mistake of getting the LG G2X when it was first launched. This was back when dual core processors had just came out and there was a ton of hype for the new ICS update that was coming out soon.

It was supposed to be LG's "flagship" device and I still clearly remember the store where I got it from had an advertisement on the wall for it that said.. "Android Ice Cream Sandwich update will be coming out soon and the LG G2X will be getting it as soon it does!".. as one of it's selling points. I'll admit it was a long time ago so it might not have said exactly that word for word, but regardless I specifically remember it saying that the G2X would be getting the upcoming ICS update because it was used as one of it's selling points.

Don't get me wrong though because I've always and still do instantly root and usually run custom roms on all of my phones as soon as I get them, so I've personally never given a squirt about updates because a major benefit of rooting and custom roms is that you're not just stuck having to wait for one to come out. Unfortunately though in this situation without an update it meant the phone was practically unusable, because the problems with LG's out of the box software were underlying... so even when you flashed a custom rom the problems would always still be there.

Well not only did we NOT get the ICS update that LG had promised, but EVEN AFTER it was proven and they KNEW that their out of the box software was plagued with multiple and daily random reboots, excessive and practically unbearable lag, constant crashes, almost nonexistent gps (because it was a miracle if you ever got it lock on), overheating, and terrible battery life.. they STILL refused to and never did release a single update for it, and believe it or not that's not even the worst part! There were a lot of devs here on xda who tried like hell to fix the problems with LG's software to at least make the G2X usable, but they weren't able to because LG hadn't made it's drivers available to the public for some reason.

I'm not a developer so I don't know all of the details but from what the devs said at the time was that the drivers they needed in order to get in and fix all of the problems that plagued the G2X.. is something that is usually released to the public. So they contacted LG and asked them to release the drivers so they can at least fix the problems themselves (since the update that LG had promised was never released)... and they STILL refused to release them.

So LG released a phone that had ridiculously broken software and even on top of getting a ton of complaints along with the fact that they had promised the G2X would get the ICS update as a selling point.. they STILL never released an update for it! Then even when devs who owned it were willing to do their job for them and fix it themselves just to make it usable at least.. they STILL wouldn't even do that! They totally hung their G2X owners out to dry and even though they knew damn well their software was plagued with problems which practically made the G2X unusable on top of the fact that they had claimed it would be updated as a selling point.. Not only did they still never release an update for it, but then they also refuse to even release the drivers needed for people who were willing to do their job for them and fix it themselves just so they could have a usable phone??!!

Ultimately LG refused to lift a finger and never released the update they had promised or even the drivers so people could at least fix it themselves, and that's why personally I will NEVER buy another LG phone again (and even now it still pisses me off just thinking about it lol)! Anyway sorry for the long novel but just thought I'd share my experience because I'd never recommend going with LG, they've made it painfully obvious (to me anyway) that they couldn't care less about their customers and they won't lift a finger to fix a problem you might have.. even when it's their fault!
