Reboot problems = incompatibility between Froyo (2.2) and Tegra2 according to LG Aus

"LG Aus irons bugs out of Optimus 2X
World's first dual-core phone on sale downunder.
LG Australia has finally broken its silence over ongoing problems with the Optimus 2X, which Guiness World Records acknowledges as the world’s first dual-core smart phone.
Users overseas and locally who had bought the product through eBay and other online sources reported a number of issues with the phone including random power-offs.
The Korean company subsequently released a patch, however, many users continued to report malfunctions.
LG Australia marketing director Brad Read confirmed that the problems related to the incompatibility of the phone's software – developed with Google’s Android 2.2 Froyo – and the handset's dual core processor.
For several weeks LG Australia’s Facebook page has been peppered with customer complaints, however, LG only acknowledged the problem on the social networking site yesterday.
One reader said he was selling his Optimus 2X for $1 on eBay as a paperweight.
Read, however, said that all of the problems had now been ironed out.
An updated software fix had been installed in phones shipped to Australia with no customers buying locally expected to have any problems.
The Optimus 2X goes on sale this week at Harvey Norman and was expected to soon become available through other outlets including mobile carriers.
Its price tag in Australia would be around $650.
Notwithstanding the software compatibility issues, the Optimus 2X was expected to generate much kudos for LG in the highly competitive mobile phone market, and woo users with its promise of dramatically faster management of mobile apps and downloading of web content."

So it seems to be a driver/kernel/software problem?

But when are we getting it??

Could anyone living in Australia confirm this?

The explanation seems kinda vague to me, not to mention the timing. They say the fix it just in time for the Australian launch? Sounds like a publicity thing to me. People who use custom roms with gingerbread still have the reboot problems, right?

come on...custom rom with gingerbread its very diferrent than stock..dont forget that is CM7 nightly version and it has very different commits and drivers and blah blah..i also suffered by reboot issues in the very first start using nightly cm gingerbread but if you will try the last build you will see that random reboots it has been fixed..at least for me!i dont get any random reboots..!with stock rom also i didnt got even once a random reboot..!
cm7 it has nothing to do with stock froyo and even if when stock gingerbread will be released!

But why should we accept a flagship phone that have known fatal problems?
u know, the price of first batch is about 30% higher than now.
And we always face the sudden dead when charging.
LG should have solved this issue before selling.

man, then u probably could have bought your o2x half a year later. it is obvious, if one looks a the stock software of the o2x, that LG was trying to throw it on the market fast, to be the first dual core phone - to generate max profit.

Well, for now, they just *said* they have released a fix. And it's not the first time. So, until there's any proof of it, you're right, it is very hard to believe, even with a strong effort.

Don't bother with Edangel, he rants about how great his O2x is in almost every topic. In his own little world.

theres a couple of guys who have bought the australian version over at the whirlpool forums http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1598794&p=22#r434, i have asked them to post what version they are running, if these issues are fixed with the new update then i would expect these phones to be running it, but i think that is unlikley, would like to know what LG australia has done to iliminate these problem in the aus version yet the rest of the world has to wait, llike others here i'm very warey of LG's 'it's fixed it's fixed' statements

I got all the ones without oil and damaged engines and flat tires...
Or in other words an used car for the price of a new one ;-)
Is this normal phenomenal for this branch or only for this particular car.
Well after owned many, I dare to say that all engines where new and not broken...Sometimes a flat tire
I don't trust that the mechanic will fix this engine
Well this ends the metaphor and leaves us waiting for that magical O2X fix :-(

Well LG is now saying anytime soon...
I guess thats means by the end of this year...
Want to get CM on my 2x, but can't
Never ever LG for me...

Notice how the optimus 3d has been delayed. My thinking is that was the priority. Once launched they'd fix our problem. Its been delayed by 2/3 weeks which means our update will probably be as well.
Hope I'm wrong mind you. Thankfully I'm not getting too many bsod‘s

Yea. They did not implement the source code the right way, they got regarding Virtual Souround. Still waiting for that... (Got a friend working at the company that makes the software)

I Guess an LG error... :-(
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129486

I emailed LG customer service from 4 different countries. The two answers I got were:
1) Yes yes we are sorry for the delay and the update is coming this summer
2) No sorry there is no ETA on any update for this phone. Not even summer? No.
Their customer service have no idea on what's going on. It's ridiculous quite frankly.

Every single mobile company does this, not just LG.
Lets be thankful that a Gingerbread update is still in the works; they usually just abandon support when a new phone comes out.

True but by the time they release GB, LG will have a better fone out and then will bypass any updates for old fones.
I never understand why mobile manufactures can make new fones faster than update there software?!. I suppose its about trying to sell more units?.
I think we wont see it this year and by the time we do get the update, we will have quad core processes and better os updates to Android than GB... Its not just LG, but ALL of them that are more interested in bringing out new hardware than to fully support what they have out already. One word... MONEY.
In away, thats why I like what is happening to gaming consoles. Its no longer about bringing a new one out every 2 years (like it used to be) and more into software and developing different ideas to bring new life into gaming.
Just wish hardware manufactures were pushing as hard for there software . Thats the real problem now.

Apple is also doing a great job here.

My guess is that only a fraction of all android users cares about the OS kernels and other tweaks, as example. I was helping my Gf to get a new phone. She wanted a red one, with facebook on it. While i was dropping some easy specs like: multitouch, gb, memory, cpu etc. After a minute she replied,Thats sound cool, but DOES IT HAVE facebook... i think shes avarage phoneuser
So to be honest, why pay engineers to make software to people that doesnt care, when they can push phones to the market and actually make some profit.
I like LG.
they released this amazing piece of electronics and they opened up much more then many other brands (SonyEricsson, Samsung). So just becuause of that im running Gingerbread with oc/uv. So stop nagging, its a great phone and with cyanogen, arcee and many other developers, this has become a monster. We dont need LGs sw, android comunity makes it better.

So if your girlfriend - with her limited knowledge of technology - where to buy this phone she should just root it and throw a custom firmware on it? Do you think that is very likely and consumer like her would do that?
You DO NOT need LG's firmware but 90% of all consumers do. And there is no way you can justify LG's action by doing their work. The product as a whole is not working and just because you like to change parts of it does not excuse this fact.

Still a week and a half to go before June ends so hopefully there will not be another delay. I think last time they said it has been delayed by 3-4 weeks. I'll be happy with a bug free stock phone that just works regardless of whether it is FroYo or GB.

90% of all consumers are probably saticfied with their smartphone. The rest of us who arent can easily change it if we wants to (of course we want, becuse we can ). So all i hear is "Gimme some crap i dont want or need...
The point with my gf is, she doesnt care. No problem. She is happy. Good.
Even how good LGs firmware is or going to be, i dont want it, just because it stock..

Yes maybe 90% of all consumers are satisfied with THEIR smartphone. Do we need to point out how low LG's market share is in this segment? Do you really think that 90% of Optimus 2x users are satisfied with their phone??
The Optimus 2x freezes without being able to recover without a battery pull. That means every user expecting to receive calls or uses their phone as an alarm will be not be satisfied.
My brother bought this phone (not with my recommondation) and he - like your girlfriend - just expect it to work without going into technical details. He has missed calls and alarms already. It goes without saying that he is NOT satisfied and neither would your GF have been if she had bought this phone. Try and ask if she would be okay with missed calls and alarms.
Are saying this phone is only for the elite of 10% or less who wants to waste their freetime on installing experimental software?

Trentors is absolutely right here, 90% of the LG O2x users are ordinary users who are not satisfied with the current LG stock rom - but they are ordinary users not interested in having to do LG's work and install custom roms with everything this includes.
They have a legitimite demand on LG to provide what LG sold them - a working phone. Not a phone that reboots randomly, freeze randomly, run out of memory randomly, lags in various different situations for various different reasons (all reasons caused by poor programming from LG) - they have a legitimite demand on LG to provide updates to fix this, they have a legitimate demand that it should have been there from the beginning. They are not demanding gingerbread per say because its gingerbread, they are just demanding a properly working stock rom - it just happens that they may look to a gingerbread update as an expected way to get a working stock rom.
Herkuk, you are pissing on all these ordinary users with your statements here - I and the rest of these 90% O2x users dont care how much you want to tinker with custom roms - thats your choise, not ours - we dont care about OC abilities or all the other aspects you feel so much for in custom roms - we just want LG to provide what we paied for - namely a stock rom working the way its supposed to work. Plain and simple.
I do not accept the trend where manufacturers are allowed to release beta products or developer products as final products and then ditch any support in order to release new beta products which also do not work right - just because a group of geeks are happy just to get some new hardware to tinker with.
When I buy any other product I expect it to work - I expect my new car to drive without the wheels falling off or the brakes not working - I expect my new flatscreen TV to be able show a picture everytime I turn it on, not only every other time, and I dont expect it to randomly shutdown or get black screen whenever Im trying to watch a movie.
I dont care if you like LG or not - I dont care for fanboyisme - I demand the same from LG as I demand from any other manufacturer that want to sell me there products. Its not my job (even If I have the abilities) to do LG's work and fix their product.

Yeah. I bet your girlfriend would love my LGP990. Whenever I don't have any reception my phone needs a reboot to be able to recieve calls, or send\recieve text messages.
I actually went back to the store and got a replacement with the exact same problem. Also with different SIM.

LG O2X Update just a few days away

According to a newspage in Germany an update is only a few days away. They don‘t know if it is the GB update or just another Froyo update but it should be the GB update because of current update of G2X.

can only hope i talked to a rep up here in canada and they said the update is in august ill call lg canada and see if they say anything about when the update should be here but i am hoping since wind up here is tmob's canadian counterpart that we should get it really soon my last phone was the galaxy s vibrant tmobile version

I loved one of todays comments at the end of that article
They stated they had contacted LG about the Update mentioned and were told there is no exact date but it should be out within 2 weeks
There is that magic timeframe of 2 weeks again. Are they living in the world of 24 and Jack Bauer?, their weeks seem to drag on for months
I Especially loved the statement made by them on the Reghardware article
'The reason for the long roll out? It's so that "Optimus customers will not experience the types of bugs found in smartphones recently upgraded to Android 2.3", apparently'
Why would we be worried about that? we've put up with enough bugs with the Optimus and Android 2.2

Well atleast they have a timeframe cause up here the wind mobile rep told me august and the lg canada rep said no you don't need an update its a new phone and the american lg rep told me it should be soon since they got their update for tmobile talk about bloody confusing

[INFO] Optimus serie official Gingerbread update

LG ANNOUNCEMENT about Gingerbread update for Optimus serie
LG would like to express its sincere thanks to all of the Optimus Series owners who have been waiting patiently for the Android 2.3 Gingerbread upgrade. We are excited by the high level of product interest that LG Optimus Series owners have shown, and we are taking all possible measures to offer a smooth OS upgrade in a timely manner.
The three premium smartphones of the Optimus Series will be upgraded first, as outlined below, followed by a global rollout thereafter.
LG Optimus 2X: Now available (as of 1st November, 2011) for open models in Europe
LG Optimus 3D: Week commencing November 21st for open models in Europe
LG Optimus Black: Week commencing November 28th for open models in Europe
The exact timing of the upgrades in each market may vary because of the different requirements in each country with respect to domestic operators and models. Please contact local service representatives to check the specific upgrade schedule in your market.
Again, LG greatly appreciates the support and feedback that customers have given during the upgrade delay, and we will do our utmost to continually provide better service in the future.
Thank you very much.

Again, can't trust these LG people. No matter whatever happens, it's for sure that we wont get this thing.

Just call/email local LG support, and ask about update, because GT540 is in OPTIMUS serie. If say, no, we dont get official 2.3, ask why LG lie in press announcement. Please reply.

Hope out phone also will get this update
Edit : Mail Sent to LG Customer Care Post here once i get reply

Some folks here at XDA had mailed LG people a few days back regarding GB update. But neither of the replies were positive. Never mind, I've mailed them now, waiting for a reply.

Our phones should have been updated like a year ago with 2.3 and with .37 kernel, but LG Support is a piece of junk. I like LG phones but they f*ck their own reputation by doing this. (or by not doing anything.)

I emailed LG about 2 weeks ago, and you can guess the answer...
I think the ultimate solution is that all of us MUST become HARDCORE devs, so we can maintain our phones easily

i hope they update the kernel of our phone for better roms

I'm 100% sure, we wont receive update to 2.3
Theres GT540 and theres Optimus line, even if our phone called GT540 Optimus, i dosnt belong to Real optimus line, like GW620.
According to LG our phone specs are too low to even support Froyo.

According to LG, Optimus serie get Gingerbread update. GT540 is in that.

You people don't get the picture, do you? First off, yes, GT540 is part of the Optimus line - no problem there. However, in what universe does that mean LG's *bound* to update ALL the devices in the Optimus line? The GT540 is practically ancient with the amount of RAM it has, and we're talking about an operating system that has a requirement (in LG's words) of 1Ghz processor frequency(I strongly disagree). Read here. OK, yes, we've seen GB running on our platform fine and speedy, no argument there. But wait, there's more, and I'm probably saying this for the millionth time: LG would have hardly any or no profit from updating the GT540. This would make it buyable, and competitive on the market again,but wait.. see, the GT540 is a cheap handset, and updating it, that's right, would cost money. Also, shipping new units with GB... also costs money, and all that for what - a cheap(okay, "hardly profitable") phone that can also steal attention away from other handsets in the Optimus line(and not only). LG has already filled Swift's niche with the new Optimus Net, won't be such a good idea to draw attention from that now, right? The same goes for the Optimus Black, Optimus 3D, etc. It's simple when you think about it, so don't get all too excited y'all.

And? Your picture say, no optimus line GB update. New announce say, Optimus line GB update...

LG never released updates. This is a fact. Lg and Google promised to give updates for devices which good hardware.these are the optimus speed and black and 3d. Gt540 has bad hardware and LG wants to update the whole series of optimus devices? I don't believe that. But if they really do it would give us new dimensions of modding especially a new full working kernel is needed.. Let's hope even if its nearly impossible to believe
Sent from my GT540

Im not so optimistic as you guys, im more like realistic about this whole thing... Just wait for response from costumer service, you will see it by yourself guys :/
This has been talked about like thausand times... Service guys said like million times, they will never gonna update gt540 to froyo or gb, due to its hardware limitations and becouse the phone is out of market long ago..
And im with GT540 pretty much from the very start... July 2010, i watched as the phone developing progressed, been on modaco forums when they opened thread about our phona was one of the first contributors named 'ilovelg' i think i made whole reference thread about rom flashing with kdz
By the way only High end devices were listed, too bad tho, couse most similar to our hardware phone LG Optimus P500 have Gingerbread for quite a long time already And our oldy dont even have a froyo, and never will, nor Gingerbread

Ok I have said this before and I don't mind getting banned for valgur language. If you check the LG site the gt540 can no longer be found there even in the optimus seris and older phones like cookie are still there(tells u something) next some time before September I sent my phone in for Warrenty cus the screen broke. When I collected the phone and asked them if they still sold extra battery's they said no as they stopped making parts for my phone.(tells u something again) well I am lucky I managed tobuy one in the end at the LG HQ in Singapore and they said it'd was the last one.... so u know what ?? F*Ck LG f*ck LG devs f*ck the company_|_ I'll never buy from them again
Next stop HTC when I need a new phone

I'm agree with nutterbg, there is no significant advantage for LQ by updating our device.
LQ will gain more profit if GT540 users retire their phones and buy the new 'LG' ones. The same thing or at least close is happened to Samsung Galaxy Spica. Samsung released new models instead of providing further updates for Spica.

OMG! they are not selling GT540's anymore?
WTF? how am i supposed to get my warranty then?
pay me by cash or something??

if im not wrong they said end of production line or something like that Anyway my warrenty ran out long ago but i made good use of it sent in two times

Mine's under warranty until Oct 12, 2012. Let's see how they'll fix it if it gets f*cked up before then.

Convo with lg lol

I know there's lots of these but they do make me laugh.
Every now and again i like to bug lg support and ask them when ics is going to be released but this is the response i got from them this time.
Mobile Phone Support: Good afternoon you're through to Chelsea Following this chat there is a short survey that will allow you to rate the Live Chat service you have received today. We appreciate all feed back given. How can I help you today?
richard frost: Im trying to find out when the release date is for Ice cream sandwich 4.0 for the lg optimus 2x will be
richard frost: hello?
Mobile Phone Support: Right okay, I do apologize for any inconvenience, but here at technical support we have not been given confirmation yet that this handset will be receiving the update, so we will not be able to give a release date at this time.
richard frost: Lg announced they would be releasing ics for the optimus 2x in the 2nd quarter is 2012....how can you not have any info try using the lg website as a source....

When i get responses like this i really have to wonder if we really will be getting ICS given not only lgs history but also the fact that their customer support seem to be blissfully unaware of their own announcements.

Meh.. the ics thing is a broken record. I don't really like the OS.

They are told what they can and can't confirm. If they have been told a date, they won't give it. This is normal industry practice, LG are doing nothing wrong here.

why not
It's sadd and funny in same time.
For example Baltic have got GB update just in end of february, but they told taht it's already relased on 21 october
So If LG will make any ICS for P990 it may happen on 2013 i guess.
We just can pray and w8 for some people in LG will wakeup and strat to move their .. brains.

just wait and see, i do rather flash CM 9 unfortunately it's still RC but i believe that CM will be faster than LG

Its not going to be faster than LG they cant get real hw acceleration working without either the sources or something from lg... therefor....not faster.

I know exactly what's going on behind the scene. As I have worked a phone customer service before. This guy pays no to very little attention to the questions asked, that lazy bastard. He's having a talk and laugh with his coworkers. He simply put does not gives a rats ass. It's a matter of reconnecting until you have found a worthy agent.
