Nexus s vs 2x - LG Optimus 2x

Hello everyone I'm really interested in new android phone. Currently I own a Xperia x10 which is very laggy and low call volume. I'm a girl so I want something easy to use. So which phone you guys think is good nexus s or 2x and i live in Vancouver BC.
Thanks

I've had both, the O2X is much more powerful, stock software's not the best, but CM is coming.

I think the nexus s might be a better choice considering it has a completely stock Gingerbread (2. 3) which leaves a lots of room for customization. The LG O2x will soon be upgraded from Froyo (2. 2) but I doubt LG will be able to make their crappy homescreen any less laggy and useful. If you're picky about speed and respond like me then you will end up using a third party homescreen anyway. The LG bloatwares kept giving me problems which drove me crazy (LG screen locker is the worst I have seen and the battery-hogging F-Secure cannot be stopped... ). I ended up having to root the phone and delete them manually. My sister has the first nexus and I was pleasantly surprised how little I had to do with it.
On the hardware performance front the LG is clearly the stronger one with its Terra 2 chip. The minus side is that it eats battery faster (not sure if the drain is because of the hardware or stubborn bloatwares) The Nexus might last you longer.
Also, you will always receive latest system update first with the Nexus, being a Google phone and all.
By the way, take a look at the new LG G2X. It's basically the same phone as the O2X but comes with completely stock Android.

You say calling is important for you i would not go for the 2x. For me thats the poorest device for calling i ever owned. Low quality and low volume.

I would not aggre about the call quility i have the LG and find the phone quility on call is good but iam using custom rom so weather that has any effect but not had any problems with calls and as for speed the thing flys no blot ware using 20.4-11 MoDaCo FR12 Fear Edition 5.2

take the 2x its must better then Nexus s, call quility is good 100 times better then my old fon! and the battery time is also better then nexus s.

If you care about the exterior, i'd say the O2X is a better choice, the nexus S kinda has a cheap plastic feeling, whereas the O2X feels really good.

In fairness, I thought the build of the Nexus S was pretty decent, better than I was expecting at least. Volume buttons were a little lose though.

[Q] Be Honest. :D

Okay, i have been using O2x for a month and i feel that on performance wise is just average.
So i would like to ask people out here to rate these 4 phone on performance basics:
(1 - 5, 5 being the best)
Samsung Galaxy S II
HTC Sensation
Motorola Atrix
LG Optimus 2x
With a custom rom and CPU at the same speed as Galaxy 2, you get almost the same scores.
People have to inform wich rom and Cpu speed they are using.
Otherwise this threat has no use.

i dont know how the performance of the other devices is but the stock o2x system is really slow compared to cm7 and probably most custom roms.

I have my O2X with CM7.
Love it. Infact, i like this better than the SGSII. The SGSII's build quality turn me off actually.
Just have a couple of problems now:
1. Battery could be slightly better
2. The LCD Bleeding is still a bit irritating.
I have been reading screen bleeding, but what does screen bleeding means?
Agree CM7 is really good. To bad about the A2DP.

You get what you pay for. And o2x is the best at this. For less than 340€ you get dual core, tegra, nice screen.
If money isnt a factor go for S2

SGS2 vs O2X
As of now I`m epecting my O2X to arrive within the next days, giving away a, besides crappy batterylife, excellent SGS2. But after a line of only HTC made handsets and therewith highest quality experienced ever, I just can`t live with only one day juice on actually doing NOTHING than just NOT touching the phone, maybe one or two short calls. So from my point of view: As long as battery threads filling every known forum for SGS2 ---> hands off!!
Performance is brilliant though.........
Hope O2X can do at least better here.
If you don't touch it you'll get more than a day, if you use it, not so much.
Would wish I had bought the Galaxy S2 instead
I own all of the phones listed above, the S2 is great on stock, 2X is god on CM7. Atrix is no good. Sensation is pretty much average but is snappy.
So preferences based on performance.
1. S2 - Stock Rom PWNS
2. 2X - CM7s Top pick
3. Sensation - Dust specs in screen.
4. Atrix - No good CFW, stock is dead too.
Haha i also wish i have bought the sgs2

in original form the phone is junk, sure it's basic android but LG dropped the ball with putting 2.2.2 on this device. after rooting the phone and installing CM7 the phone is pure magic. Everything flies, smooth, that's how it should of been from the beginning. Either way i'm jumping ship when nexus prime comes out.
Adding to you your rank, i think the 2x is better than the sII due to the fact the sII feels like paper in my hand. Construction wise it's crap, i rather have some weight to my phone than a piece of paper, hardware wise the sII is better with a better screen/pictures/video but i think the phones are on par if you update the 2x to CM7. I havn't use any of the other phones.
I bought 2 LG Optimus 2X - one had many problems with reboots and lockups, this one I have now replaced with an SGS II
So currently I have the O2x and the SGS II (my son uses the O2x)
No doubt the SGS II is wastly superior to the O2x - stock rom just works so beautifully, partly because of more ram and a newer Android version, partly because of less bugs than the O2x. The camera is much better on the SGS II for still photography and alot faster to use to, but videorecording I find is better on the O2x (mainly better sound quality).
Construction wise the SGS II is not crap at all, just because its lighter doesnt make it crap. The construction build are actually very good, theres no squicking or anything and its very sturdy despite being so light. I had my fears regarding the SGS II feeling to plasticy but it doesnt. The thin backplate are very flexible and almost unbreakable.
The big screen is nice, quality of screen is very good, allthough the O2x screen have better whites. Touchresponse of the SGS II are better than the O2x. Battery last longer in the SGS II, I almost get 3 days of average use, where i get 1½-2 days max on the O2x. Music and video are a joy to play. And theres no sign of any lag anywhere. Not like on the O2x where it lags when you install from market for instanse.
I still like the O2x, it got nice design, feels like quality, hardware is good, the LG software changes are not too intrusive to basic android, but it simply just doesnt perform the way it should. LG messed up with this.
To many problems with the reebooting and lockups still being experienced by so many people even after almost 6 months since release. And even when it doesnt reboot or lockup its still running a flawed Android Froyo 2.2 which lags in situations where it shouldent (being a powerfull dualcore phone etc.) - you just dont feel like theres any headroom, like you do on the SGS II where the feeling is more like "nothing can slow down this phone". Just feels completely snappy all the time no matter what you do.
I have a friend who just bought an O2x 2 weeks ago, and he is now also experiencing the random reboots and lockups, despite being on latest stock firmware and the phone being completely new (so not some early batch).
Sure you can install custom roms, most have issues of their own and most dont really make the phone that more stable or that more fast or fluent/smooth in daily operations (I dont care what various test software scores are, its real life performance that count) - besides one should never have to install custom rom's to make a phone usable, this is the manufacturers responsibility. Sure you can install custom rom if you want to play around, but it shouldent have to be a nescessity or something being recommended to "fix the phone functionality". You buy a phone, it should work out of the box, period.
All in all I cant really recommend the O2x anymore, sadly. To much of a risk of getting a phone that wont make you satisfied because of the various issues.
It may change when gingerbread are released, but seing what LG has done sofar during 6 months for this phone doesnt leave me impressed or expecting any wonders from their gingerbread
after 3 months using o2x, LG made major mistakes
1. they stock rom is 2.2 if we compare from sgs2, htc sensation. they already use 2.3 for their stock. even atrix which has the stock from 2.2 they can do the fast upgrade to 2.3 rather than o2x.
2. the memory of o2x is low compare with sgs2(1GB), sensation(768MB), atrix(1GB). this is dual core phone and why LG only put the memory 512MB???
and the cpu is still in the same range between sgs2,sensation, and atrix.
that's my opinion
i have one random reboot(using old rom v10b) upgrade to v10dESA, v10dEUROPE, and v10eESA no random reboot, and have problem once with the wifi but after the baseband is upgrade it's ok so i can't complain about it
I think the Optimus 2x is a great phone, just that the software portion needs more customizing. Hardware wise I think the 2x can compete with the rest.

Upgrade???

I am currently using a samsung Infuse and i really dont have any complaints the camerea is amazing and overall i love the phone other than when i am indoors me signal is completely trash sometimes. I was wondering if it would be a good switch to go to the thrill? the 3d draws me in and it seems like it has alot of power to it to. What do you guys think will this phone last on the dev scene??>?

Wats the problem?
I love my Thrill!! I've had no problems. I was suppose to get the Infuse, but saw the Thrill and had to have it. Specially since it was way cheaper. I liked the screen of the Infuse, but when I saw how big the Otter Box for it was, it helped me make my final decision on the fuse. That thing would've looked like a laptop on my hip it was so big. I've had my Thrill since a week since it first came out and I've had no problem with it other than the battery life. But I just rooted it and installed the Doomed Froyo Slim ROM and the battery lasts 3X longer than it did before.

I think its a good upgrade. Its been slow to start from a dev standpoint due to the outdated Froyo (which is most likely the culprit of the horrible battery life). GB is due out soon for our sister phone the O3D this month and should be easily ported. The Thrill will get GB from ATT but the question is when. And I can only assume we'll see ICS in the not to distant future in one form or another.

Should I purchase the 2x?

Hi
I need a new phone, and I have come down to either the Optimus 2x or the Huawei Honor being the best options for me.
I am mostly interested in the 2x due to its good specs, however my research tells me that it was full of bugs to begin with. I am not very fond of using custom ROMs, so my question is, how is it running with the latest official update??
The latest official firmware (v20q) is very good. You will be satisfied on stock. However, if you ever want, installing custom rom is not a big deal. Do some reading in dev section and you are good to go. And there is very good stock based custom roms, which you can flash once and no need to change/upgrade anymore .
Thanks good to hear, I heard a few horror stories about the phone, but I think it was with the original rom which was full of bugs...so there is no problem with it today? (if updated)
I think it is a good phone but there are some better options out there.
My carrier, for instance offers the galaxy nexus for the exact same price today(it hadn't launched here when I got my O2x). SII seems to be better too, but it's also more pricy.
yeah but they seem more expensive. I think spec-wise you dont find a phone matching it for the price, I was just wondering about its actual use.
Do not buy this. It is a fail phone.

Really? What do you mean?
If you don't have a problem waiting for the ICS update go ahead
well, it should be out sometime this year, and if their 2.3 works well then I can easily wait
you should and you should use stock 20q rom with gueste kernel, his app for adjust everything is amazing, for example you turn on zram in there and low ram problem has gone
Great phone go ahead.
I is a good phone,i never had any problems and i meane any. I have it for over a year.

Physically the strongest phone I've used! matches the Nokia 3310 as far as im concerned, missed my pockets many of times and its gone crashing down to the concrete, screen hasn't cracked. I always use a screen protector so idk about scratches.
Stock roms are pretty slow, you cannot brick this phone so why not try Temaseks CM7? Lightning fast
Everyone loves to complain about the battery but that's life, depends how you use it.

Sorry to say but i actually agree.
The problems i had:
- for three months i couldn't make calls under 3g regardless of baseband /ril combo or rom. I wasn't the only one witht his problem, other people with LG had this problem too.
- the radio of the phone goes off randomly if you are in area with bad coverage and doesn't come back until you restart the phone.
- i have four bars and still sometime i can't receive calls, one time i was waiting a phone call and i was actually watching the phone and saw full coverage, i received a sms from my carrier saying " somebody called you while you were unreachable". It's a known problem that lg has never fixed, some devices have this problem some don't.
There are better phones for your money, personally i'll never buy anything from lg again. The 2x is a cheap phone with performance yes but it misses an important part: the phone itself (phone calls, radio signal) sucks.
Calling quality is bad, other than that, you can find many roms for it, that can work well and suit all your needs.

Got this phone secondhand for 190 euros. the phone will be overheated if you use it heavily during charging. No problem otherwise
If you want to buy it as second-hand phone (about 200€) I think you are going to make a good choise..if you are going to spend 300€ or more, you are doing a bad choise..the hardware is very good but the 2x tegra2 platform is no more supported by nvidia and lg is not so good in making software..so I think you are obliged to install a custom rom

Thoughts on 2X and your next phone?

The phones over a year old now. I only picked mine up used almost half a year ago for 200 USD. The phone's price really plummeted in just over half a year didn't it? Even now it hasn't dropped further as it hit its rock bottom way back then. High end phones that are older and with less specs cost the same as this as its really unpopular. An example being the Galaxy S.
So in a way its a pretty unsuccessful phone. Reasons? Software support has been terrible, suffering from radio issues. The stock firmware was appalling for a long time. Then the announcement ICS wasn't coming which soon after you saw the price hitting rock bottom. Leading to LG to counter its previous comment and proceed with ICS. Which it probably had no plans to before the backlash. Since the update was due rather late and has since been delayed a quarter.
Hardware wise its not bad. But still outdone by S2's larger screen, double ram and better camera.
All said i'm extremely happy with my first Android especially considering what I paid. But only with the developer support providing the best solutions. If I were a stock user i'd be sorely disappointed, only feeling better for the price.
In terms of my next phone, I want a larger screen 4.7ish but not pocket busting like the note. A better camera but equal to 2X is fine. More RAM because Opera Mobile keeps shutting down when I multitask out for a second, even with an extra 48mb ram hack. Amoled would be nice but not necessary, mainly for its benefits if its sunlight legibility is good. HD is unnecessary in my opinion.
As it stands I probably won't be upgrading for awhile until the likes of the S3 gets cheap. Except its design looks unprofessional. Optimus 4X anyone? :-D They couldn't make the same mistakes again right? Right?

Hayabusa 12mp sounds like potential. If nexus grew a good camera, it'd be killer. The rumour of five nexuses this year is promising

some people arent that rich to change expensive phones every 12 months.
My next device will be WITH a good battery, a SD card slot (dumb htc with their one series..almost made them perfect), a good camera (likes of SGS3 or more likely htc one x), and an ARM cortex-a15 based cpu (or krait). and quite importantly, a wolfson micro sound chip (also supported by supercurio ) i dont want screens as large as 4,7 inches though
oh, and i hope it will be a nexus...i want good updates... fuuuu LG
this would be a freaking dream phone. but i aint buying anything until the 2x gives up on me, i still really like it
So far i had 2 android phones with the optimus being my second one. I have noticed that all those "specs" do not matter. What matters is a good software. Therefore i would move to a nexus devices when my optimus gets completely destroyed or really useless. No need to keep throwing money on phones if they cannot completely replace my laptop.
I will go for a SGS2 or 3 or a Nexus.
Hopefully soon. Tired of all the probs with my LGOS
currently, my o2x running temasek kang, it give me what i want to do
still waiting for the stable cm9, then will use it about a year
my next phone maybe the galaxy s4
I think I'm buying a S3 or nexus. And what Arkara said, I agree that specs don't matter as much as the software support.
Seeing as the S2 a friend of my has, still running stock since launch and no factory resets: Smooth as hell, fast and long battery. Galaxy Nexus is also stable.
Maybe my phone has a bad chip or something like that but the FD issues are to much and the battery life is overall the same for me no matter the BB or RIL. No more Tegra for me.

Nexus seems like the popular choice among us. I think specs matter still otherwise you wouldn't be after a high end phone. I personally have grown accustomed to CM's flexibility and features so i'm not really after software support. Except as we know in our 2X case it lacks drivers for us to update to.
Of course a stable good software release is important, afterall custom ROM users are a minor aspect in comparison to sales. But in the S3's case Samsung are trying to differentiate and add value through the software extras. That's great for most but if your not using it you're paying for nothing.
At least the idea behind the S2 was hardware and just the right software to make it run. This time around Samsung are making moves inspired by their biggest rival in their eyes, Apple. They like to poke fun and criticise Apple but they would prefer nothing more than to be them. The design, the marketing and the software are all in their footsteps.
What do 2X users here think of the iPhone anyway? I think it's like our polar opposite in the high end. The super expensive overrated and over hyped hardware with good closed software popular phone compared to the piss cheap higher spec phone with miserable software and success.

Well, they sure as hell have a long way to go as far as design goes. Pretty much all android phones do. They are butt ugly. The Optimus 2x is actually one of the prettier ones imo! The Galaxy S2 for instance is a design disaster.
I'm not a fan of the iOS, though. When I use it, on my Ipod Touch, I get the feeling that I am being treated like an idiot.
I will have a close look at the ASUS Padfone.
If it only had a 720p screen, I would have bought it.
When the Rumors about 5 new Nexus devices for Jelly Bean come true I hope ASUS makes one of the phones. I love their build quality and design. They also are the fastest when it comes to updates and patches.
I also think that the Optimus 2X is among the prettiest phones. This was the reason I picked it instead of the Galaxy SII (the price was similar at launch).
With CM7.2 UNOFFICIAL (I also use temaseks build) the phone is very good and I get a good battery life lately since I turn my phone off and back on right aufter I unplug it from the charger in the mornings. The only thing I don't like is the Battery life when I use it a lot for webbrowsing and games.
My next Phone will have a 720p display, a bigger battery and more RAM.
SD Card slot, swappable battery are things I would very much miss if they were not available on my next phone. Optimus 4X maybe, Huawei D Quad maybe, Jelly Bean Nexus possibly or the Padfone?
I´m tired of the 2x....
...because of the politics from LG.
The stects of that phone were really good, but as it was said before: Good software ist more worth than good hardware.
I think my next Phone will be the next SGS or a Nexus.
What i need:
SD-Card
huge RAM
720p Display
LTE
NFC
good Cam

4x hd....g2x all over again?

Guys I am seriously considering this phone, but I am seeing some similarities (of the bad kind) between this and the g2x.
Now Im not talking meltdown, but this is an lg phone and from tha same optimus family.
I was with the g2x from day one and am fully versed on the bs lg pulled with us on that phone.
Are there any current owners who had the g2x and are starting to see trends for this?
Also is any one using this on at&t?
Would really like some honest opinions comparing the two( i dont mean spec wise because yeah hd screen quad core etc of course its hardware wise better)
IM picking up an lg hd nitro as a backup phone ( yes its true im a phone junkie and my habbit seems to be getting worse...) because I switch phones...a lot..and tired of going with out a phone for a week or so.
Any ways, I did try to search for similar threads but came up with nothing.
Lg claimed this screen was the shizzle of all phones....opinions? (yes I know there is a phone screen thread but may as well include this who knows maybe someone else was wondering the same)
How has lg been with this phone support wise, releasing drivers(i know I know stupid question and right now youre asking if im trolling you), I see there are some issues with root.
ANyways thanks guys.
No issues with root, we have root already.
Now we are working on cracking/bypassing the bootloader lock so we can flash ROMs.
LG Optimus 4X was the first phone as far as I know to be shown with CM10 running. We also have one of the Virtuous Devs with one of these now who will be helping with CM10, so I'm really excited about the ROMs this phone will see.
In terms of support we have already had 2 or 3 three updates since launch, but tbh, I'm not too worried as once we get the bootloader/recovery sorted I'll be loading CM10 onto my phone, which already seems to be better supported than my Sensation ever was with them.
I own a g2x, I know all its ills. But still decided for o4x. I don't regret. It looks good. Hardware matches feature to feature with s3 and ones with better pricing at least a couple of hundred dollars less. LG hardware is more robust than HTC and Samsung as per my experience.Also not to forget O2x/g2x got very strong developers. They are already warming up for o4x.

I have had LG OP2x which had many problems.
I had exactly same worries as you have now when I thought about buying this phone.
But this phone runs flawlessly and I haven't noticed any of the problems that was on the 2x.
The 2x started to lag and freeze about 60 hours of uptime, while this phone have reached 200 hours of uptime without any complains.
The only thing I wish was better in this phone is the camera and in my opinion the picture quality from the 2x's camera was better.
It is a great phone

I had 2 o2x phones, the first one with all the bugs, like random reboots and BSODs, the second one was great.
This phone is amazing compared to o2x.. They've all ready rls 2-3 updates and works great.

My only concern on similarity between O2X and O4X is they both use Tegra.
Powerful chip, but it seems difficult to develop, lack of support from maker and handset vendor itself.
I hope it will be much easier now for Tegra3.

The nexus 7 uses Tegra 3, so don't think we got any worries.

I've had no problems using it on at&t. I usually bounce phones around quite a bit

Ok so here is my longish answer to your question
1. I always loved Android but the early phones like the Galaxy S and the Mytouch were laggy and buggy.
2. When the G2x came out it was a step forward. But it was buggy as hell. It was superb when it worked but it didn't work that often. The Weapon ROM fixed things but it still had issues.
3. The Galaxy SII was the first stable, reliable Android that I remember.
4. The Galaxy Nexus was the first phone that could rival the smoothness of the Iphone. Finally, Android did it. There could be no more criticism of Android being slow and buggy or laggy. Jelly Bean made it even better.
5. Then the Galaxy S3 and HTC One X upped the ante even more. These phones are the top two phones in the world.
6. So, I got a LG 4x HD the other day because I got a good deal. So because of everything I typed above I was a little worried that LG would make another buggy phone. Well there is nothing to worry about. This phone is smooth. Very smooth. It rivals the Galaxy S3 and the One X in every way. It is not laggy, it hasn't slowed up or rebooted on me once and I have been using nonstop for four days.
But it is now also my favorite phone ever. I just like the way it looks better than Galaxy S3, Xperia S and the HTC One X. I like the physical buttons at the bottom too and the full size sim card slot, removable battery and Micro SD card slot. I have used all the top phones and this is just as good, ask me what is better between the LG 4X HD and the Galaxy S3 and I would say you are splitting hairs, they are pretty equal. Maybe the Galaxy S3 is a little more polished but the difference is negligable. The screens are close but I choose the 4x's screen by a tad. It really is a beautiful screen. I can't think of a single complaint I have about the LG 4x HD. It is a pleasure to use and I can't stop playing with it.
I can't wait til T-Mobile does their refarming in the US so I can use it on 3g/4g too. Wifi is fine for now though.
My score for the LG 4X is a 10 out of 10. It isn't hyperbole either. I put the Apex Launcher on it, switched things to my liking and now I am in love with this phone.

I owned an O2x before this. I guess ain't those kind that would notice any small bugs but the O2x was kinda buggy without custom Rom. After buying the 4x, I thought I would regret but I didn't.. it was much better than I have ever expected of an LG phone/hardware/software. Now I really looked forward to an unlocked bootloader and more development. Not forgetting upgrades from LG.
