I'll give it a shot, even though I have a pre-sales sample, the rom is from Dec 14. I've used the phone since early January.

1. I would definitely recommend the phone, lightning fast, HDMI and all that makes a difference for sure (I've been bringing the phone around, so simple to connect and show pictures/videos/1080p movies! etc.

2. I'd say that it's a tad bit big but the screen makes it up. The Atrix has a bigger battery and I wouldn't mind that, even though the battery life definitely lasts longer than on my Nexus.

3. Never ever experienced any lags, I tested the phone against an iPhone 4 (cleared all history cache etc, removed the sims, wifi Only) and then ran the 10 top used websites (facebook, msn, google, myspace, youtube, blogger, wikipedia, live, etc..) the 2X loading time was quicker in every case and sometimes much quicker (facebook, myspace).

4. LG has confirmed that they'll release Gingerbread for the 2x, and there is update/OTA under settings, as well as LG Mobile Update from the PC.

5. SuperOneClick works, I've used Z4Root myself but it doesn't seem to work for all ROMs. You can count on custom ROMs, this will be the Mothership of all phones at the time of the release.

I had about 6.25 GB of free space when I got the phone. So the system does eat a bit of the 8GB cake.

Thnx Dave. It looks like a really good phone, just waiting for the phone to come out.
[LG Optimus 2x] cynop:
How bout those crashes anandtech mentions? Any sign of those?

also, since there's no LED for notifications, how do you know when a sms has arrived?

[Samsung Mesmerize] wyrdtrtle:
Hi all I'm having a problem with my phone randomly going into airplane mode (or sometimes it just reboots itself). When it goes to airplane nothing will turn it off except a battery pull. I'm running the EA11 leak, ea11 voodoo, PnP and the midnight blue steel theme. i saw a couple of posts in other phone type forums but didnt see any that gave a cause. I was just wondering if this is a known android os prob or if i changed a setting somewhere that might be causing this or whatever. It doesnt do it often, i upgraded the day after the ea11 leak was posted on here and its done it maybe 3-4 times in that period.

btw love the job yall r doing with these mods Kodos and Thanx
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
I had mine get stuck in airplane mode (the settings showed disabled, but it was enabled) but a reboot or battery pull wouldn't fix mine (not even a flash back to PNP), I had to end up going back to odin 2.2 and clean install of PNP and theme.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Circlel05:
I had the same thing happen. I had to reflash 2.2. I never had a problem until I installed that same theme.

I just went with voodoo and no PnP and am not haveing any problems. I think there might be something in the theme conflicting with the ROM. Then again I'm not that knowledgeable about all this stuff either.
[Samsung Mesmerize] foofoo982:
I had the air plane mode issue after applying a theme. Reflashing the the theme fixed it though.
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidzach:
I had the same issue. phone was stuck in airplane mode. my phone didn't have any of its info either. No phone number no PRL no MEID nothing like that. I just loaded a backup that I had and all was well. Have no idea if itis kernal rom or theme, but it doesn't really matter because when you are running unofficial cutting edge mods this stuff will happen. I was a little worried when it happened, tho! Ha not gonna lie. But I do expect things like this to happen. As long as you make proper backups and are willing to go back to stock, I think its fun to do this stuff to this phone. I personally don't mind when something doesn't work right cuz its a challenge to figure out what's wrong and a learning experience. That being said I have no idea why the phone stuck itself in airplane mode. :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] wyrdtrtle:
I don't know why either, but I believe (just a guess really) that it must be a glitch in the EA11s radio. I know it isn't the theme as it has happened in each I've had including the stock. My house is at the edge of cellular coverage so I often lose signal here and it seems to happen when it goes without sig for awhile. Not positive as I haven't actually seen it do it.

I agree with you ilove tweeking this thing with cutting edge stuff and am willing to suffer the occasional WTF moment I was just wanting to make sure it wasn't a carbon based user interface error LOL
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
The correct term is bleeding edge technology :)

Swyped from my Mesmerize
[Samsung Mesmerize] wyrdtrtle:
yeah im at the edge, and my phone is bleeding. LOL oh well sometimes just like my laptop or my truck i seem to have the most fun when things dont quite go according to plan. just think how boring life would be if things didnt go OOPS
[Samsung Mesmerize] singnforgod:
Just got it back!!

Mine went into Airplane mode today and after 4 battery pulls and getting rid of the Home Screen I had installed it finally came out. Just as above it said it wasn't in AM but it wouldn't let me do jack via phone or web. I don't think this is just an EA11 issue as it did the same thing with 2.1. Either way, God is GOOD!!!! :D
[Samsung Mesmerize] mikechartre:
Mine did this several weeks ago. I'm on 2.2, voodoo, p n p, no theme. Reboot into recovery and just restart fixed it. Battery pull did not.
[Samsung Mesmerize] wyrdtrtle:
let me ask yall a question when your phone went into AM had you been somewhere that had little or no signal cuz where i live my house is in a deadspot that only gets tower sig when propagation allows. I have WiFi here but had it set to shut off when screen went dark and after an indeterminent amount of time AM kicks in, but in town where i get full sig it never seems to happen.
[Samsung Mesmerize] im.matt:
Experienced this last night. I believe its something to do with gogle maps, gps or wifi. After disabling via holdin power button n rebooting about 5 times n failed I did a battery pull and solved it. Voodoo kernal was my last change as far as flashing goes. Running 2.2 stock.
[Samsung Mesmerize] stephenj37826:
Same thing here. Go into recovery and wipe cache will fix every time. Something else I got my lady one too and hers is stock her signal strength is wayyyy better than mine idk but I hate to go back to 2.1 :(
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
I haven't had this happen to me since EB16, try just using odin to go back to stock EB16 then do pick and pack and theme if you wish - I haven't had it go into Airplane mode a single time without me setting it to.

Flashing isn't perfect, typically an odin reflash will fix problems.
[Samsung Mesmerize] stephenj37826:
I'm on ea11 can't seem to get eb16 to work lol and im not new to this at all.
[Samsung Mesmerize] stephenj37826:
Finally got eb16 to load. You cant have repartion checked when u run it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Circlel05:
Mine did it again yesterday. Have eb16, PnP, and voodoo. Phone was in holder and just rebooted and stuck in airplane mode. Pulled battery for about three minutes and it fixed it.

Could there be something in these leaked versions causing this that could be corrected when the official 2.2 and source code are released?
[Samsung Mesmerize] leojsayta:
Happened to me today for first time

This happened to me today for the first time. I'm on stock EB16 with the voodoo kernel (no themes). Restarting a couple of times didn't help. Finally pulled the battery and after restarting, every thing was back to normal. In general, it seems if I don't reboot the phone at least every day or two random glitches seem to start happening (usually wifi not working correctly). I have no idea what causes the problems.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Circlel05:
Mine did it once Sunday and twice yesterday(Monday). 3 times in less then 36 hours. It's getting very annoying and I'm contemplating going back to 2.1 bcause of this. Be nice if USC would hurry up with the official release and source code.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Have you tried doing an odin back to EB16 and reflashing pick and pack/theme?

As I stated before, I have run into this issue in the past and after I did a clean install it hasn't happened since.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Circlel05:
No I haven't yet. I'm on the road and don't like doing too much when I don't have good internet access. I might when I get home, but I'm hoping the ypdate will be out by then.

looking for a new battery for my Legend, any suggestions?

What is the best moneyworthy alternative out there, i lost the old one, so i just need a fairly good battery, and hopefully not less good than original, but better value for the money wouldnt be bad.
[Legend Accessories] sirius002:
I suggest mugen ;)
[Legend Accessories] KawaKingLouis:
I uses this battery for about 4 weeks and it works great within this time but after round about 6 weeks the battery lifetime reduces to a minimum and at the end i only was able to use my legend for about 6 hours with about 70% of standby-time. I dont know if it was a manufactoring error or this battery is just crap? Meanwhile im using the original battery again...
[Legend Accessories] gebazzz:
I'm looking for a new battery too...

Is the Legend's battery the same of HTC HD2 battery? Which other HTC phones shares the same battery model of Legend?

Thanks.

[Legend Accessories] Asovse1:
Definitely the Wildfire. My friend had a Wildfire imported to Canada (stupid idea) and the battery I ordered works interchangeably between the two. Though he wasn't scared of the risks because it had printed Wildfire/Legend on the back of the battery. I'd imagine the HTC battery is at the very least similar.
[Legend Accessories] megol0:
Wildfire is compatible but HD2 have a different format and a different kind of connector - 100% incompatible.

Gold battery 2430mAH...anyone tested it?

I have one Gold battery and it work ok, is a good value to the money.

The battery I buy in webstore Pixinf can work more that 2 days and the original one only work less than one day.

Be carefull, I think some gold batteries are made on china (not in japan) and are copy ones (fake).

Kind regards

I also have gold battery bought from ebay to replace the stock battery. I am using it for few weeks. I am using my phone longer than before. The seller sent me an instructions for first time using it.

I already test it ant it give you almost 2 x more duration than the original battery.

Be carefull, I think some gold batteries have better quality than others you get in ebay.

I buy mine in pixinf.com store.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
Ok, I am been a big fan of WP7 since day 1, I now have a bad feeling I have been duped.

Given what we are seeing with the current update, the pre update update and what I and others are being told by carriers about "testing" imagine this scenario.

21.2.11 Microsoft release pre-update update carrier will forward it only after 8 weeks "testing" phase.

8.3.11 Microsoft release NoDo, carrier decides to skip this one

21.4.11 Carrier releases pre-update update to consumers

15.11.11 Microsoft release Mango (late 2011)

16.11.11 Carrier announces Mango will be released with NoDo rolled in after another 8 week "testing" phase.

16.01.12 Consumers get NoDo/ Mango update.

Yes friends, you could end up waiting a full 15 months from the UK launch of WP7 before you get any sort of significant update! "But we knew about the carriers option to skip an update" you say, but we did not know that MS release dates are useless because carriers are allowed to add 2 or 3 months for "testing", this on top of a barely acceptable update cycle from MS. Even if your carrier gets NoDo, that gives them the option to skip Mango in which case, who knows when you will get any functionality beyond C&P (meh).

I am stuck on a 24 month contract with a phone which will possibly not get a full feature set until near the end of that contract and I am pissed at how stupid I have been not to have worked this out before I signed up. My advice? If you really want a WP7 wait until you can get a properly SIM free one that is not tied to any carrier.
[Windows Phone 7 General] otech:
I feel you, but don't be like my wife and judge guilty before the crime :)

It hasn't happened yet, and though I share the sentiment of the jist of your post, remember to base your mindset on fact, not hypothesis.

In a years time, we will know if we truly were duped. You had to know it was a gamble when you signed up, and now the risk is being realised. Just trust in Microsoft to do the right thing, and raise hell if they don't.
[Windows Phone 7 General] walshieau:
I'm afraid your carrier testing dates and deadlines are incorrect.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
8 weeks is what 2 carriers in the UK have said to consumers here
[Windows Phone 7 General] digime:
OP doesn't make sense to me.

This 'pre' update went to carriers for testing ages ago.

If a carrier skips an update they have to rollout the next update, which will have to include the skipped update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cyclical:
This is what I read from Microsoft as well, they can skip 1, but they have to push out the next update which also includes the previous one.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
yes you were duped: you signed a contract, for a phone.

as far as updates, microsoft has been promising "this is the best windows ever!" since win95. at least you don't have to buy a cd for wp7 updates, if they ever come.

btw, android 3.0 sdk was released , that means. yet another bump for android, like now. hmmm duped indeed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kasrhp:
I suggest waiting until that all gets laid out. Microsoft has been paying attention to the mobile world. I think it is taking the better aspects of Android and iOS. If this is true, they know how important software updates are. They do not want all of the update issues Android has. Trust me. Those voices from the Android crowd are starting to get rather loud boasting about devices being left in the dust, or simply getting an update 6-10 months after the update was released.

As for the new Android sdk, it's tablet only for the moment. The next phone update will be 2.4 that will really bring extra functionality. Heck, Google's own developer phone, the Nexus One is just starting to get the latest update to Gingerbread. Thats over 2 months after it was announced with Nexus S. XDA released it before Google did!

Bottom line, be loud about the updates, but don't speculate. It sounds fine when you do it, but all it does is get you worked up for no real reason. Enjoy the phone for what you bought it for. As key as updates are, you should still buy your phone for what it does now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
This why I am going to wait at least a year or two before I go out and buy a WP7 device, they have so much to work out before it is a functional daily device, but I think in the end they will work all this out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] theo80:
Me too... I've been looking for a replacement for my ageing sghI780, and as of now the best bet is an android based one. As much as I like the WP7 interface, I want a phone that I can customize anytime I want, with a true offline and not to mention free GPS navigation. I also use my phone to carry important files with me, plus a videos and music files to while away the time. There's a lot of holes that need to be filled in WP7 for the moment. Until those are fulfilled, then I will not own a WP7 device anytime soon. Maybe I'll just get a Galaxy S for the meantime.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
I don't feel duped. I knew I was buying into an early mobile os. There is little functionality I miss in day to day operation, and I'm confident that my phone is going to get an update in early march.

Now, if that update for some reason never comes, then I would start to worry, but until then, why cause any more stress than I need to?
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
If this update went to caariers for testing ages ago, why are carriers telling consumers they cannot release it because they have a 6 to 8 week testing cycle o go through? I am not bothered about this specific update, nor am I bothered by the "carriers can skip one update thing" what bothers me is that we now have to add an indeterminate length of time (6 weeks? 8 weeks?) to whatever date MS give for an update
[Windows Phone 7 General] Martice:
Come on OhGood. You know better than that. The last OS to boast about updates has to be Android.

I'll be sure to send your baseless plug to Google.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Well lets look at it this way. MS's original, public pitch for WP7 was that updates will come solely from them, with no inteference from carriers, OEM's, tooth fairies or frost giants. Now what has been unveiled, not by MS themselves publicly but by bloggers like Paul Thurrott is that the reality is carriers have the power, just like before, to insert themselves into the update process and delay or block updates as they see fit and again here we are, scrambling around trying to find out where our updates are.

It doesnt really matter if they have to pass the next update after a blocked one, conceivably they can do their "testing" for an indeterminable length of time and still in effect block that update as well. The reality today regarding updates is a far cry from what MS publicly promised, and in typical MS style all mention of that is missing from their website or from any MS official.

Duped, misled, hoodwinked, call it what you will, the truth of the matter is updates are NOT solely controlled by MS, contrary to what was originally claimed and that is not a nice thing to discover AFTER buying the device. It may or may not be better than android's so called "fragmentation" but in reality it pretty much results in the same thing, pissed off users.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Fortunately I'm not on a contract with my WP7. And mine is already sim-unlocked. I wonder if I could put a foreign sim in and see if the update would happen?

The only contract I'm in right now is for my iPhone, which is a sure bet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
I'd wait just a little bit and get a galaxy S2
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
While this may or may not be true (according to bloggers it is - I'm not arguing either way) I very much doubt this pre-update would have gone thru the carriers at all. Microsoft always said smaller updates would be delivered directly. If this isn't considered a small update I don't know what is. More pointing to this fact is that most carriers don't seem to have a clue about the update - sure, they may state there's an internal testing period of x weeks, but these people don't have a clue; they read from a script. If your question doesn't exactly match one available in their script they will pick the closest one - which in this case may have been an Android update.

That said, I don't see why the carriers would block updates at all - unless they include features specifically forbidden on the network in question (i.e. VoIP and similar services). The networks have no financial interest in blocking the updates, on the contrary they should get them out the door as fast as humanly possible to keep their customers happy. OEMs on the other hand does have a financial interest in holding off on delivering updates as it means they can produce an almost identical phone with the latest greatest OS included.

In any case, if carriers were looped in here we would have seen evidence of this. Either by me receiving an update before my wife (I've got an unbranded O7, she's got a TMODE branded O7) or by lots of people complain that their X branded device still hasn't received an update. We haven't seen this, at all. Looking at various surveys online it's pretty clear that devices from just about every network have received the pre-update. Microsoft did state it was a staggered release, so the fact that person Y has received his while person Z hasn't isn't evidence of a carrier blocking it IMO.
[Windows Phone 7 General] deeman:
Dunno if ive missed something but what network has actually blocked you from receiving the update?
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Stupid analogy. Sounds like you bought into the Apple propaganda commercials, which funny enough you see alot less of since Windows 7 (because Windows 7 is actually decent). Every Windows after 95 has been better.

Android Updates:

1.0 ...5mths... 1.1 ...1mth... 1.5 ...5mths... 1.6 ...1mths... 2.0/2.1 ...7mths... 2.2 ...7mths...

Windows Updates:

1.0 ...?... 1.x and we are 4 months into the offering.

Seriously.
