Hello everyone, new on this forum. wanted to say hello.
I own an LG O2X and suffer from almost all of the problems the rest of you mentioned.
I've been following the threads for some time now. Hope LG fixes this phone soon because as for now everyone I show the new phone to doesn't understand "what's so good about it?" LOL
i'm a happy one
have had O2X for a week now, and am pretty happy with it. but it is my first android, and i'm running MCR/Fear edition.
the only thing that i am missing is wi-fi calling (uma), which is only stock-installed in G2X.

Why can't you use skype instead? Or is it not the same?
Ive had mine for about a month now and cant fault it in anyway, compaired it against my old desire and friends iphones and it's on top without a doubt.
Gingerbread will be rolling out in the next couple of weeks i would of thought which will make it even better ;-)
I have it since yesterday and no problems so far, its lightning fast but I like the looks of my arc more. Still in doubt which one will be my daily phone, I like them both.

I didn't look into Skype, because my wife (with regular cell phone) can't reach me on Skype (free account), unless they provide free incoming call number.
I prefer (1) UMA/GAN, (2) Google voice/Talkatone-like app on android, and (3) other SIP, but that's just me. Beside, I think any T-Mobile user should be able to use UMA/GAN via app.
I have a feeling that eventually telephone/cell-phone will migrate to IP based protocol, and service providers will become merely data provider. The question is when and if they will be willing to. I'm sure there will be issues and reluctance. I read somewhere and Verizon is looking into voice over IP (or a name similar to that), to enable "talk and surf at the same time" like GSM can. Now I'm babbling.... Anyhow, CM7 might have already included UMA/GAN. I just need to test it when I have a chance.

Hi,
LG gives me the possibility to change my Optimus 2X to a O3D for free.
Would you do this or would you stay at the 2X?
What? How?? :O :O

The CPU or SoC is more efficient than Tegra2 and It has the industries best GPU I think, I'd take it.

In Germany, LG gives this possibility to all customers, if you ask them. They do it because they don't know, when GB will be released for the 2X.
But it's only for Germany, I don't know, if LG makes this in other countries, too. Maybe you should ask LG.
I'm waiting for the reply from LG and in a few days, I'll send my 2X to LG, if nothing goes wrong.

I am very skeptical about that!!
They won't even give us a brand new device as a replacement here! So, I don't see why they would give us a BRAND NEW AND MORE EXPENSIVE device as a replacement! :/
But then, no harm trying..
Will ask 'em.
I was offered this here in the UK but declined as the O3D is chunkier and heavier and I prefer the O2x hardware. Now running GR4 and very happy with it. Not a single bsod or freeze so far and very snappy response

What did you have to do to get that offer in the uk
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
Strange they would change your phone due to not having Gingerbread, as the replacement also doesn't have Gingerbread.
If CM builds were further along, I'd probably consider it.
But the O3D has nearly the same hardware than the Nexus Prime, so it'll be one of the first CM9 smartphones.
I wish I could ask them but the danish customer support site is down for maintenance :/

Kick up a fuss, contact Warren Lewis who is the LG Mobile UK head and be a pain in the ass. I'll PM you contact details of one of their Service Managers. She was the one who offered me the swap. My worry is that you might end up with a refurb O3D though...

Camera, sound etc. should be the same (except display and some other minor things), too. One of the CM devs said, the O3D will be one of the first CM9 devices because of that.
Sorry about last thread already fix so moving on.
I think i may be a little slow but i can't get started to mod my lg thrill to the correct format which my service provider will work best.
I been reading around and some people found ways to have 4g outside of at&t with the device but had to mod. Im currently using Simple mobile service provider so im not sure if it will effect the outcome as well. I currently have the thrill to operate with simple mobile but only on edge 2g and no mms. I really don't care if i can't reach 4g speeds which would be awsome but if i can get a great 3g speed and mms to work it would be more then enough.
Thanks in advance
ps. sorry im such a noob
Well guys it`s been a pleasure to spend a lot of time in my life beside all of you, hoping that LG will support their phones better, but that time has and end and this is it. I`ve sold my OB and bought a Desire HD instead. I was tired hoping that something will eventually happen`...
Good luck in the future and very much custom stable ROMs!
Wish you all the best!

Desire HD has a locked bootloader, has it?
allready unlocked
I'm due to a new phone and I need to choose between Desire hd or Optimus black.
Was thinking of the hd but I've read about the small battery, poor GPS performance, camera issues, etc. The weight is 175gr.
On the other side the OB just got Gingerbread, is smaller, has IPS screen. CM7 support for it is also great.
What made you choose the HD over OB?
Thanks!

well, for me...this kind of phone shouldn`t last for more than a day. Desire HD delivers me a fully working day with 3g data always on with sync over weather and Gmail, and wi-fi when possible and sometimes using hands free bluetooth.
the gps it`s fast I don`t know where did you hear that is poor.
what made me choose HTC instead LG is:
1. HTC sense....is much much much more user friendly than LG UI 2.0 (wich Optimus Black comes with)
2. I don`t really trust Ti OMAP processors, Qualcomm instead gets over clocked at 1.6 ghz with no harm at all.
3. I have a Smart TV and the DLNA works much better instead LG.
4. Bigger screen, metal hard case (i really like the phone to be heavier) instead of crap plastic, truly Gorilla Glass Display, 8mgx camera with dual led flashlight wich is not bad at all I`ve managed some awsome photos with it, 768 mb RAM instead of 512 wich makes the device much more fluid (never crumbles).
5. LG stand for Lie Good, I`ve tried the Wi-Fi direct function with other phones and never managed to really send a file......crap.
6. Very poor video recording on LG 5 mgpx camera...
I hope I made some good arguments.
If I were you...I`d buy Desire HD for sure! But the choise is yours. I can only hope will make the right one take care dude

ok then, just give us your money, so we can buy desire HD for sure.
How about the display?
Which do you think has the much better display? Let's just disregard the brightness because we all know the Optimus Black has the brightest. Is there a big difference of the display basing that Desire HD has 217ppi and the Optimus Black has 233ppi? Which one has the clearest display? I like clear and vivid display cause I alsways want to watch videos and streaming videos online.

I like the display on the Desire HD better. Much more vivid colors from my point of view. you really can`t see the difference from 233 to 217 dpi.

well, i would, if i had money....I was lucky to find a guy that wanted really bad an Optimus black for his girlfrind and I simply trade my OB for his Desire HD... as simply as that. so no money involved
Thanks, everyone!
After all, when the Milestone came out, the battery could barely last 10h, with CM7 I can squeeze 2-3 days a year after I got it.
I'm getting the Desire HD tomorrow

And thanks for letting all users in the P970 forum section know that you obviously never owned a P970 and are going to have a Desire HD!
I could'nt imagine to live without that info. Thanks !!!
EDIT: could the Creator of this Thread change the title to something like "P970/OB rant"? It would be mire Accurate.

Seriously, what's the so important about our decisions and purchases?
If you want people around you to be informed about what you do, consider twitter or facebook, or even Google+ .... not a forum thread
can some mod delete this thread pls?
(moderator, sorry for starting a new thead. But this is important to get others' attention)
This is an extract from an LG expert at lg forum ( regarding thrill 4g ghost call issue)
"...Optimus 3D is an international phone, so I would not be reading XDA threads pertaining to that phone...USA phones keep me plenty busy. ;-) We collect information from many different sources about our phones, but honestly if you want help from LG the conversation needs to take place here in LGForum.com and not in a 3rd party website dedicated to rooting and custom ROMs unless you are running a custom ROM, then please keep the conversation going at XDA because we cannot help in that case. ProductPro and I are re-reading all of the threads to collect as much info as we can. So any trends or common triggers or anything like that greatly helps with issues like this. So far the amount of information posted is extremely vague and doesn't give us much to go on. If everyone believes it's truly random then that iswhat we'll report to the engineers, but we need to do a certain amount of due diligence before we submit to engineering. Any help to try to explain when,how,where these ghost calls occur is greatly appreciated. Thanks! "
So you guys can see what LG is upto. They haven't received enough complaints about this issue.
We all need your support. Just don't wait till others do the job.
Its will take only 2-3 minutes. What you have to do is go to the forum and sign in using facebook account or use the lg username password
http://support.lgforum.com/lg
Under common problems select "Ghost call issue is not resolved with resetting or any other simple methods. So help us..:-( " topic and add your experience with ghost call issue.
At least click "me too" button to show that you also have the issue.!

I just posted on the LG forum (even that's cumbersome to use...they need some new software developers...).
I think it's important to convey the frustration, but also focus on the specifics of the problem. Ranting and raving about how crappy LG is won't get us anywhere. Explaining what the problem is, when it's better, when it's worse, and as much technical details as you're capable of gathering are what will help engineering the most.

You may not have 4g i am using 21e but can't test 4g as at&t drags feet and we don't even have 3g in my area maybe we should start a thread on at&t website pushing 3 &4g to less densely populated areas so they can keep up with the competition as at&t is the only company that has no 3g and now 4g other than that the at&t crap ware isn't there but that is a plus

So even though Dark Lestat had a very detailed and thorough walk through on how to flash a different rom, I stopped at the part where he talks about rooting and therefore completely missed the step to setup APN's. *face palm*
I got it figured out over the weekend and have been fully functional for the past several days. I'm happy to report there have been no real issues so far including Ghost Call. It seems reception at work and battery life have improved as well. I no longer want to smash my phone into little pieces.
Thanks for the advice on switching to V21E!

Ghost call not fixed with 21e
Hello, i ugraded my thrill to 21e and glad to have all at&t app disappear but the ghost call issues not fixed yet!!! I found a software 'GETril' which change your phone baseband but for me it says 'system partition not writable' which does not allow me to continue. I'm rooted and do not know how to make system partition writable.
