Speed is no longer an issue, and I have adapted to the battery life cylces. Which is not that bad anyhow.
Overall Im very Happy with the Gem.
Any one feeling the same love toward the Diamond???

No, its an overall opinion.
Its been smooth through out this continuous updating!
It's a refreshing change from all the posts with people moaning and whining about their Diamonds

What software/tweaks have you installed?

The next thing to buy is a screen protector!

Yeah, these Gadget specific forums tend to get more negative comments... and newbies reading these forums get the wrong idea, alltough I believe 99% of the users are extra happy with their devices...
I just upgraded to Panosha Shine On 0.9 Light ROM and Radio v1.00.25.05... bunch of tweaks found here at XDA and the jewel is AWESOME...
So Here's my hand!!

did you not get one.....this is a must!
Yes, another big hand up here. The Diamond is an amazing phone. Usually I loose interest for a new gadget after a couple of weeks. Now, after a bit more than a month, I'm still very happy with my Diamond. It runs smooth... (using SwiftBlade's latest rom (v5) and some XDA tweaks)
more than happy

As much as I researched, and badmouthed the iphone.. and bought a htc diamond. I actually tried an iphone yesterday and was blown away by the interface. The touch screen is so much more sensitive, you dont need to apply any pressure. I have noticed on my diamond i have to apply more pressure in the corners than the middle of the screen.. it gets annoying. As much as I hate to say it I am starting to regret my decision to be anti-apple. I am running elite 3 rom with spb mobile shell, and yes it is smooth.. but it is nowhere near as smooth as the iphone.

Nope, I've heard that you should get one in the box, but I bought mines second hand from computer exchange (they have several branches here in the uk)
It was classed as grade a, which is near perfect condition but I didn't get a screen protector...

Why should i move to an iphone forum when i own a htc diamond? You dont understand how much I hated the idea of the iphone... I convinced many people not to get one, I also have a huge list of reasons not to get one. My point is yes I thought my diamond was running smooth as silk, then I tried the iphone which i hated so much.. and THAT really is smooth as silk, now when I use my diamond it feels sluggish in comparison. I think a lot of the people saying their diamond is smooth havn't tried an iphone. I still prefer the diamond because it can run background processes, mind you.
Theres no need to be a ****, post count dosnt mean anything. Maybe you should take some lessons in grammar if you're going to accuse people of not being able to read.
Normally I would fully charge the phone before flashing anything, but since Cyanogen just released his new 4.1.6, I wanna flash it right away ! My battery has 67% left. Can I plug the phone into the charger and flash it ?
Thanks in advance
Yes, you can charge your phone and flash at the same time. I always do.
I can't tell you from a tech perspective if it's okay but I can speak from personal experience that it doesn't do any bad. I do it all the time
the only reason they say to have a fully charged battery is so that during the flashing process your phone will not die and possibly leave you with a brick but as yellow (ffff00) said you can flash with your phone charging. i always do too.
Lol, yes you can . Have fun with new version.

oooooh you say it so sternly. how do you know have you tried flashing a rom when you have 31% and it went fine, but when you did it at 30% it died lol. actually i have read this as well.
I never flash while charging. I'm too paranoid of power surges causing a flash to go ugly. And I've had equipment on good quality surge supressors die from power surges before so I don't trust those either.
Therefore, battery power flashes only for me
Flashing with the cable is always the best way to go.. If something goes wrong you are going to have to plug it in anyway
But i have not had any problems thus far.
I see most of the Rom now request the you should have atleast 50% battery life left

what do you mean, penut butter is a good shampoo cottage cheese is a great shop, stop looking at me funny, little cricket, i will tickle you till you poop boulders
So just because the LED doesn't come on to show the phone is charging in recovery, it is actually charging? I always flash when my battery is about 20% so I really hope it is charging

Hi,
I'm seriously considering going out and buying this phone but I'm really not sure after seeing all the threads with people saying that they go back to their phone and it's switched off and requires a battery pull.
This seems to be a fairly serious problem but I was just wondering if it is happening to everyone who owns the O2x?
Please let me know if you are unaffected by the problem!

Dont do it go for SGS2
Mine is fine! 1 month of use and never crashed.
My phone has been fine not one reboot or freeze, stayed stock rom for first week then rooted and changed roms several times and still no problems, got mine off ebay brand new, can give u the link to the seller if you like

I've had mine since March and I have not experienced any freezes or reboots.
It really is a great piece of hardware. I'm not that fond of LGs software, but that can be solved with a custom ROM.

So, how do you get on Rusty, you seem like a very experienced XDA member.. how is the O2X treating you?
i am not the best guy to talk to . i just got the phone used yesterday for very cheap. i figured that if i dont like it, i can sell it for the same money or even make a little more and get the SGS2.
but so far. no crashes/reboots.. been more than 24 hours. using custom rom as well.
i got the phone for 300$. the stickers still on it. i figure if i decide to sell it. i wont lose at all..
so far. i am really loving the phone. i love the UI of LG. but its slow. it laggs. i wonder if there is a custom rom with the LG UI but smooth one.
right now i am on modaco. with 3000 quadrant. if i switch to google launcher. phone is smooth. if i switch to LG one, it laggs a little in the home screen. i tried the Tmobile version 2.3 on my optimus. its super smooth. but i cant make phone calls on it lol.
and i had a screen problem with the cayanogen rom. for some reason my screens dims and go bright on its own.
oh yeah. i also have a screen light leak/bleed. but it doesnt bother me much because the only way i can notice it if the room is dark and i have a black wallpaper.
Mine went slow once on stock, once isn't bad though. The froyo Rom does seem rushed in truth, (I have random battery drains from my Dialer which makes no sense) but I'm sure Gingerbread will have everything sorted.

Pretty well to be honest. I use CM7 nighties (I bought the phone specifically because it was going to be supported by them) so I cannot expect a bug free experience at this early stage.
I am enjoying it though, I came from a Nexus One that had bugger all internal storage and a poor digitizer, so proper multi-touch and 1.5GB spare for apps is fantastic.
The IPS screen is great if you can overlook the associated backlight bleed (it's not just the 2X, look at iOS devices as well, same thing), the GPS chip is excellent, I can get locks in place that my N1 couldn't.
The stock ROM is turd, frankly. It's fast, until you install something, then it becomes unusable for a bit until it's finished with the app... quality coding
fine
i have my lg optimus 2x now for over a month, no problems here.
i stil have the stock rom.
first v10a. no problem
later v10b. no problem
I have had 2 O2x now for litle over a month
one of them has had BSOD and restarts randomly - the other had none, atleast for the first month - but these past days this one has now also rebooted a couple of times.
Both are completely stock - not rooted and not using any custom roms.
Only using a different launcher which do help make the BSOD and Reboots less often.

I been over there as well. Most of the problems on the SGS 2 are either software or can be solved with apps. My O2X had so many problems that I could never use the phone and wifi at the same time. Bleeding, constant reboots/freezes crashes even with Custom ROMs. Since Im in afghanistan now I need a phone that will work not just when it feels like it. I will say that when the O2X was working it was a sweet phone. I just dont see the same problems with the SGS2 and Samsung tends to be better in the service side instead of LG leaving us pissing in the wind waiting for a "possible update" that might fix things or not.
guess i´m a lucky guy, too!
i have no crashes/reboots and absolutely NO backlight bleeding
Mine is also working properly.

Just ran the ruu for 4.3 posted by OMJ. Took some effort but finally got it to work.
LED works for the charging light, but will not blink for notifications, no matter what options are checked, or unchecked, or re-checked. Still bone stock 4.3.
Any ideas?

Nice!! Gotta keep the lady happy! Enjoy your Sunday...GoHawks
Learn a hard lesson, brother. I stopped hooking my wife up with custom ROMs and features two phones ago. I got REAL tired of going from 'hey phoneguru, get me this and that cool feature' to ' hey guru a**hole, fix my jacked up device that YOU somehow made screw up and blahblahblah'.........was happy as hell when she went to the iPhone, but then she came back to the GSIII..... :angel:
I gave her the iphone (which was second hand from my dad, to be used solely as an ipod by me) when her gs3 died and she couldnt stand it for even ten minutes! So like a bozo i said take my One until your upgrade. Stuck with iphone for six months now...ugh.
She so far hates the missing option of contact-specific text notifications. ::sigh:: I thought it was possible on sense, but i guess not?

Hi,
First off all I've been searching around the forums and find masses of information which is amazing.. But that also confuses me.
I came here because I have a stock HTC One M7 which is a mini (hope im in the correct section).
Basically I buy my phones outright for cash, and use the remaining money on sim only contract deals which saves me a bit of money..
So I've had this phone for going on 2 years.. its been fine and loved it at first.. but lately i'd say over the past 6 months the phone has gone extremely slow.. when I mean slow it can take 1 to 2 minutes to load apps then the same again for it to update information within that app.. If someone says take a picture I say not being funny but it would take 5 minutes for this phone to take the picture and the moment is lost..
Thing is I was planning on keeping this phone till 2016.. but at this rate id rather just wait till I get home to use the net.. im seriously tempted to dump it..
But as a last resort I read on google that the rom can be changed? but ive never done this and wouldn't know which rom would be best to get this phone back to how it was! I don't care for looks I just want speed.. if it had to be a google phone then so be it..
So my question is what rom would someone recommend to a newbie to the scene?? I don't want to scrimp because im a new so would like the best I can get ??
Please get in touch!
Again sorry if this isn't in the correct section.

If it was fine after a factory reset and slowed down after a few days, its probably cause by one (or more) app installed after the reset.
