Hello Everybody
I got an offer for LG Optimus in ebay for a good price.
The offer was well worth when comparing to it's specification.
But, i was searching about the mobile phone in internet to find out any major problems.
And i came across following issues.
Would lose network connectivity frequently for no apparent reasons
constant "Force Closure" messages.
Unstable Gingerbread update process.
On-screen keyboard frozen up occasionally
I heard that if we use LG Updater software, then there is no issues in upgrading to Gingerbread.
And i heard that Gingerbread update completely fixes the phone lockup and reboot problems, is it true ?
There is no GB update out yet....
Most of problems on this device are baseband related, and after 3 baseband update, its still not that good...

It's safe if you're willing to mould it into what you want.
If you want to use it as LG provide it, it's not so good.
Root. And flash a stable rom. Then its verry safe.
The downside is that when u drop it, the screen cracks really fast. The + side is that it is not that difficult to replace the gorilla glass by yourself. There is a nice vid of it on youtube.

Android Gingerbread update has been released for T-Mobile G2X http://www.phonearena.com/news/Gingerbread-update-for-the-T-Mobile-G2x-goes-live_id20543
Isn't T-Mobile G2X and LG Optimus 2X same ?
They're the same in North America, but not the rest of the world.
So, if i buy LG P999, Then is that T-Mobile version?
If so, if i install Gingerbread firmware in T-Mobile version of LG Optimus 2X, then would the major problems be rectified?
P999 is the T-Mobile G2X or the Wind Optimus 2X, the update should indeed help with some things, check out the G2X forum for info.
Had the Optimus 2x by one month and i tell you that i am very satisfied of him. I have a stock room with all the latest updates and i don't have problems of reset or keyboard. IF you don't use it much you can get more then 2 days of battery.
In Europe the T-mobile G2x is not the same with the lg optimus 2x. You probably broke your phone if you update it with the firmware of G2x

im now running FR19 fearkill edition 12.4 with the neoblaze OC kernel.. (smooth as butter)
the DJ droid seems to be a stable rom aswell
(the good thing about this phone is that there are plenty of roms to choose from,
i recommend the fearkill roms. eventually i always got back to them. (never hade anny trouble with them)
Does these Roms preserve LG customizations?
fearkill deleted a couple of them but u can add them. there is a link in his topic where u can download all the lg software and add them to the rom
Golden question - did GB on the G2X fix most issues?

Go ask in the G2X forum?
I think its a good choice, even on stock rom i had no problems butnon CM and Miui i did abit of baseband swapping to find the bestbin for them and everything is fine upgrading basebands has given me better signal..ect

For me O2x is a lol choice.

Baseband issues :
- calls quality are really bad (for me)
- lags appears when you install apps : the device becomes totally unusable (im wondering if there is a rom that fix this issue)
- wifi error durring connection establisment/ hspa drops connectivity with NO reason.
- Audio playback may lag quite randomly (probably due to stock rom)
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
The app install lag is gone in CM, and possibly MoDaCo ROMs.

sdk is not source code
SDK = Software Development Kit, not the Source Code !
This is tool for software developers that are making apps/gamez for ICS.
i know..but devs try to make it work on SE x10
and when i got zte blade, on modaco the devs ported 2.3 from sdk
Bless, we've been stuck waiting for 2.3 for nearly half year, with no visible signs when is that gonna happen. Probably ICS in two years time.
On the matter as started above S SDK is not source code.

i know sdk is not source code..but others can do a bootable rom from it... see x10
or zte honeycomb on android modaco...
its all from sdk...maybe with cm7 libs and kernel and so on
Don't count on it. I guess our best bet is Cyanogen. I don't think LG will do it.
It might just be me, but unless apps start requiring ICS there's no real benefit to it. It doesn't seem to do that much that can't be achieved otherwise. I actually just switched from a Gingerbread phone to a 2.2 OB and I don't miss anything. Reading about 4.0 doesn't give me the impression that existing phones will be so much better with it.
It would obviously be nice to have ICS and I would definitely flash an ICS rom to my OB.

The IceCreamSandwhich GPU Acceleration of the UI is a real benefit.
i heard that Cyanogen is doing CM8 based on ICS. I think OB is getting one too....hope so....

I do hope you are corect.
CM7 is nearly done by the look of it. So CM8 would be nice indeed.

Does Optimus Black have enough internal storage for ICS? I mean Nexus S has 16gb Free while Optimus Black has only 1GB free.

It matters not. The software itself wont eat much. That 16gb internal is for smoother operation. System not reading an SD Card which would be slow. That's why they gave it a large internal memory as possible.
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
Yup. Phone 's hardware is no problem. We have a decent processor and RAM and ROM space. So ice cream sandwich is surely to run on optimus black. Unlike other phones such as Sony, s new devic es xperia mini and pro and neo etc which have just 320mb internal memory.
Although since LG will take too many time to update we will surely need some developer 's support S soon as possible.
Don't care i'm expecting miui ice cream

I don't think OB will be updated to ICS because were not even Gingerbread yet. But my hope is with Marquee because it's currently 2.3 so next update is certainly ICS then just port to our OB.
Similar to what happend to my old Samsung i780 where only its twin brother EPIX got updated to the latest version thankfully some good guys here at XDA ported it.
Hello,i ran into this problem,i was using CM almost the entire time i had lg optimus 2x,but now after #170 update or so i noticed that camera really drops to about 10 fps when not in day light. Any1 experiencing this problem? I would like to know which ROM has the best camera support?
Thank you
Had same issue ... same on miui from 10.14 and up ... good framerate is only on stock mods and cm #160 and down and miui 10.8 ...
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
This is due to compensation. You trade in FPS for a better image.
The libcamera.so is responsible and has been changed on the 5th Octobre.
See here: https://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_lge/commits/gingerbread?path%5B%5D=p990&path%5B%5D=proprietary&path%5B%5D=lib&path%5B%5D=libcamera.so
I think you can just replace it. Just download the old one from the link above.
Though this might introduce other problems like not working skype.
Mate , how to replace that ?

I cant play that game too, is a problem with the phone, is not compatible.. i see working in a Galaxy Note and SII... only in that models
It won't work on Optimus 2x . its released for Xperia users only. Hope they will make it tegra too!
Strange thing it works on Samsung galaxy r, but does not work on Optimus 2x. I also heard it doesn't work on Acer a500
yes it works on galaxy r butt with distorted sound....
so no use witjout sound..
Following the footsteps of its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is making its way to Android and iOS. Rockstar announced today that a special 10th Anniversary Edition of the open world Scarface / Miami Vice inspired sim will be hitting the two popular mobile platforms on December 6th for $5. No LG Optimus 4X HD in supported devices, but HTC One X is.
I suppose they'll add it sooner or later. Might even work with the HOX version.
even any LG device does'nt mention

You're wrong. Google/LG Nexus 4 phone and LG Optimus Pad tablet are mentioned.
There is always ways on making it work. Every game works on my 4x just fine. Just download to other options then Google Play. Just an idea.

I have serious problems playing Shadowgun THD and NFS: Most Wanted on my Optimus 4X HD (V10g). In case of Shadowgun, I have to use normal version, Most Wanted - downgrade graphics. I downloaded the game (Most Wanted), I paid for it, so I want full support. If not, EA could say in the description: We do not support LG Optimus 4X HD, so **** off. Now, no word about lag or not fully supported some of Tegra 3 devices.
I think that JB update will solve our problem with games, because it has huge performance improve
U can see it how it was with HOX, after 4.0.4 update and 4.1
I understand ur frustration but shadow gun and shadow gun dead zone and most wanted all run with no issue on my lg 4x HD.

i bought the game and installed latest version 1.02. worked like a charm. even with hi resolution there is no lag. just didnt it test with all things maxed out.
Impressive how they ignored the 4X even if its completely playable.

yeah im quiet impressed that 4X isnt in the compatible list on google play. runs exactly like gta 3.
The only reason it's not on the list is because it hasn't been tested yet, not because it won't work

whats wrong with your 4X, you always say the game lags on your device. are you shure youre phone is a Optimus 4x hd ?
ig gta3 lags on yours, than vice city will , too.
Maybe I'm a bit weird but decision on buying myself an lg 4x is determined on fact of gta:vc working well on it. So tell me finally - will this work as it should on Tegra3?
Another question, are all these big games movable to sd? 16gbs is so small so its great to have an sd slot when phones like nexus 4 don't.

in my opinion yes, i tried to film my 4X but my camera sucks. The game plays ok. if you can wait until weekend, i will provide a video.
Or here is the video I checked on YouTube before making my mind to buy the game..

No way that a phone like O4XHD cannot run a game like this.. i like my phone very much and it didn't disappoint me while playing any game..

I will try to do a factory reset and buy Vice City. I'm upset, of course. NFS: Most Wanted, GTA III (little) and Shadowgun THD lags. Still waiting for Jelly Bean miracle.
