T-Mobile announces the G2X! - LG Optimus 2x

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/cell-phone-detail.aspx?cell-phone=T-Mobile-G2x-with-Google
Maybe this is the developer boost the 2X so desperately needs? I've been stalking the 2X forums since I heard rumors of the G2X, and I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed with the lack of support the phone is getting The 2X forum is pretty much dead... This should give you some hope

I'd post this in the XOOM, Transformer, Iconia, NI Adam, GTab 10.1, etc. areas, too, since there aren't that many out there with Streak 7s, but there are a lot with Tegra2 devices.
I'd love to see them develop some more for Android, but their asking price is just too damned high (said int he voice of that "The rent is too damned high" guy). $15 for a game is a hard sell on mobile, even if it is a great one. Gameloft, Gamevil, etc. are selling for $2-5. $15 better blow my freakin' mind. If they had sold GoF2 for even $7, I might have impulse purchased it; $15, though, would get me 3+ games from another developer.
I agree the price tag is high in the way of mobile gaming which is a shame I personally played the whole game via the pirated one and bought the game out of principle cause its just a damn good game and retardedly addictive so when I say the game is worth it I mean it
Hell I pay 60 dollars per consol game and this game heres quality is just amazing
I appreciate you helping posting threads i figure enough of us makes a stink then it will help motivate them to develop for android devices that support it currently and do not currently support it

[Q] Voodoo sound promised functions...

Hi there,
this will sound a bit angry, but where are the optimisations promised by supercurio months after releasing his Voodoo Sound adaptation ?
I never expected my O2X to become a Cowon J3 for sure, but I bought the control plus app long enough ago and found myself with a "glorified amp" which brings nothing quality-wise, if a fine volume tuning.
I'd expect from a respectable dev. who sells & make money with his app to finish what he started before jumping onto some other obscure project... that sounds more ethical to me. Right now I feel like I'm dumb to have purchased his app, which in my opinion still doesn't deliver what anyone would expect from it, as announced.
At least, I'd like to know if anybody has proof that supercurio hasn't just dropped this project ? In that case, it'd be falses promises & nearly robbery...
Well all I can do is waiting in anger, I hate being taken for a fool...
(sorry for the lack of nuance in my post, I lack the english skill to properly depict how I feel about this...)

Read his twitter. He's working on a different project right now, and more O2x/G2x improvements will come straight after that
you could try ask him instead of, just write an angry message in here, that will not help you so much
I think I was also speaking in the name of ALL the people who bought his app. I'm pretty confident I'm not the only one who feels this way. By analogy, just think of your O2X bought with the promise of a fast Gingerbread update. Is it there ? Are you happy about this ? Well it's all the same to me.
The lesson is, only trust the ones who deliver what they announce.
P.S : Been fooled twice with my two last phones, first Samsung with Omnia I8910 - case closed, I didn't even consider buying the SGS2 after this chapter; now LG... this can't be accepted.
just relax optimus 2x will get complet voodoo i ask him for a week ago, but he has other projects at the same time. and I'm pretty sure that supercurio is to trust

I don't have any issue with the concept of this, and I signed it, although I don't think moto cares given the size of the actual modding population. However, why do people throw around the word 'rights' so much? Really, it's a right? No it's a want... I know I'll prolly get derided for this but still... Right?
This convo has been had millions of times. really doesnt need to be repeated to the same effect where it changes nothin
Agreed.
Noble intentions, wasted time.

I agree with you 100%.
I still signed.
That's how frustrated I feel at all this. I'm reminded of my time with the orginal milestone. Checking internet every day to see if someone fgured out how to shoehorn froyo onto the thing. For some reason I thought moto would change... maybe it was because they said they would.
Yeah its a long shot for this petition to do anything, I very sincerely doubt it will. But I would love to be wrong. It only takes two seconds to sign it.
Signed also
While I've signed the petition, I have a ready-made solution that nobody has seemed to mention yet... stop buying Motorola devices.
I've enjoyed Moto's offerings since the OG Droid days, mainly because of the superior build quality, but due to Moto's lock down on devices, and their lack of willingness to placate us, the way HTC has done, the D3 will be the last Motorola device I purchase. Let's face it, performance-wise, Moto doesn't build top-notch machines, the screen quality is sub par, and support is non-existent. Build quality is the ONLY thing they have going for them, and with Samsung making moves to improve their own build quality, I don't see any reason to stick around.
Motorola is not going to change their stance on this matter, and as such, the only way we can really make them listen, is by hitting them where it hurts...their wallets. I believe over 10,000 people have signed the petition (not a huge number, compared to global Moto sales), but 10,000 units at $150 each, equates to $1,500,000 in revenue. Again, that number may be small by comparison, but I'm sure a $1.5m decrease would get someone's attention.
My advice to anyone who's upset enough to sign this petition, is to move to a company with a better track record of being development friendly. Quad-core offerings are on the horizon, and a new Nexus device should be spotted around Christmas...I'll be saving my money, and WILL be jumping ship as soon as I can. The Moto journey has been "fun", but it's time to trade build quality for better performance and support. I'm done buying phones that are (essentially) dead on arrival, and obsolete within 3 months of release... I urge the rest of you to follow suit.

I don't get it. Someone can explain that?
absolutely absurd and unneeded
lemme get this straight....we all are disappointed with what happened.
u can blame LG, u can curse TI, but that won't change anything.
this is xda, don't open a thread to cry and curse here ...instead, stand up to what we got, if you got skills, help FOP out. if not, enjoy what you got.
and BTW, the proper notion and practice of all OEM's is supporting a cell for 1 year and for 1 OS upgrade.
since, LG has done both, u really cannot whine about it.
if you want to curse LG, TI, Hades, whosoever, do it in the ICS thread.
this thread will not do ANYTHING (admit it, u officially wanted this hate thread) except making people pour here.
please don't get me wrong, am not trying to pick up on you, but the unnecessary whining is not gonna win us anything. will LG give us the update following the hate comments?? NO!!!! then what's the use??
also, note HTC actually came up with the reason as to why it didn't update the desire HD. though LG might not have the same reason for the update, but it could well have led to the same consequence if LG would have started (if at all) working on our ICS upgrade.
our only hope is TI updatign 3630 and FOP getting the ICS up. let's hope and wish them luck.
regards,
achyut.
P.S. - if you find my post derogatory to your thread, PM me, i'll take it down. thank you.
i totally agree with achyut,
the last months i've seen very childish reactions to LG, not only here but the whole www. (i'm not refering to this topic but in general)
people complaining and over reacting.. not satisfied? just throw away your phone and buy something else.
lg is giving good phones with really good prices.. lg isn't indeed perfect but can you expect a perfect phone for the money you paid?
i'm a very satisfied user, we maybe don't get official ics but who cares??
i get the feeling that a manufacturer is succesfull if it releases new android updates very soon.. if it's not? it's calles the worst manufacturer in the world...
the way i see it:
i got a nice looking phone with good hardware for a very good price.
the great dev's here helped me to upgrade my OB with very good custom roms.
here's atleast one satisfied user!
hmm
but tell me why when all other company can release ice for they phones even now phone that cost half the price of OB
brands that are not very will known are able to release ice on hardware much lower the black can get ice to work smoothly
the Lack of will from Lg to work on Updates is what driving me mad
i will any ways go for FOP when its stable a bit more but why let LG get way Scot free they should know how many its customers dislike them
Actually, I'll prefer staying on Gingerbread than to have a sluggish ICS phone. There are many people complaining because when they got ICS on their phones, it got very slow and the performance is mostly choppy. So, we should be happy LG brought us gingerbread, though unfinished. We could always tweak it to its limits and all be happy

how do you know it's a lack of will? we all know its hard to run a business in these financial hard times.. for example samsung is still selling good so they will have the funds to keep going on with support and development.

Apple copied LG phones' design... I guess LG should ban Apple... LG is even providing their Retina display screens to Apples' iDevices.

Only one question - Is Samsung providing ICS for Galaxy S & SL Having almost same Specs.and one of the highest sold Android Phone ?
Apple cant Ban LG Phones Bcoz LG is not copycat Co. like others. They already launched PRADA first full touch screen ( Capacitive ) phone before the birth of first iphone. LG is one of main parts supplier to Apple.

No point in complaining about this, really. The decision has been made. Time to move on.

LG Event Sept.19th

Hello, doesn't seem like anyone has brought this up, but have any of you guys seen that
there's an LG event being held on the 19th? Apparently they're going to announce a new quadcore phone,
but has anyone overlooked the fact that they might announce/release the official ICS rom for our (intl) 2x?
We know that they're supposed to release ICS before the end of the month, could this be it?
I saw this at least,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31544349&postcount=5038
is every news will now have its own thread in general section? If LG release new TV, maybe they will launch ICS for O2X?
boring..
I don't think LG would release ICS for our device at this event
On the one hand, an ICS upgrade at this event would be good PR for LG, but on the other hand they want to sell new devices and don't want the customers to buy old cheap devices because of the update.
We do not know...

Hi Rayman96, the OP was simply stating that LG were having a press meeting for the release of a new phone. Why is it a stretch to think they may perhaps announce software updates for existing handsets at the same time? The press will be there, so it makes sense.
This post was also made in the general section, exactly where it should be. I found your post useless, childish and boring to boot.
I would normally sign off by saying "Have fun". But in your case, that might be asking too much. Anil
Think about LG's PR.
When announcing new phone, I would totally focus on this.
And it was said by hundreds of times that 30 Sept will probably be This day.
It's really boring, because our O2X forum slowly becoming LG forum. To discuss about anything of ICS related thing we have right sticked thread.
If you understand my findings and opinion, you probably stand my side.
No offense op, just because your post is same as one mentioned in main thread about LG/ICS/everything

Hi Rayman96, LG aren't Apple. Apple can release one device and the world goes nuts. LG on the other hand need all the help they can get making a PR dent.
I for one will never buy a non Google NEXUS device, I currently have a Galaxy NEXUS. Once LG deliver ICS, I will update the phone and sell it. But I will never buy another LG device again. Simply because LG aren't up to speed when it comes to software. Great hardware, software not so much.
Ultimately, there are going to be duplicate threads and information. O2X users have been waiting a damn long time for ICS. So any bit of info can seem crucial, and worthy of sharing. It's simply kinder for everyone to cut each other some slack. It just makes life easier.
I hope LG do release ICS by the end of the month. So the next owner of my O2X has some of the new OS innovations that Google has delivered.
Have fun. Anil

Two companies you mentioned are different, but both of them want to earn money.
This isn't only problem of phone because it is old, and its production process stopped, but even the tegra2 platform problem. Tegra2 in my opinion was something to attract people to nVidia. Then nVidia released tegra3 hitting android market with flag phones powered by this chip.
Tegra2 in nVidia opinion isn't now important, because company took a piece of market. So, if they want to earn money fluent, they have to made you buy new phone to have goodies of ICS.
So LG will release ICS by announcing a news about it to don't attract much people instead of making an event.
But let's calm down and wait.
Companies are really strange creations
