We all know that LG excels in hardware and sucks software REALLY BAD...if ICS will be on the corner, just wait for a custom ROM.
And when all phones and tablets are on ICS, well get the GB update LOL

Hmm cant see why this one wouldn't fit in this thread.

Well any way.
In my opinion. If you count by valve time it would be a TF 2 comparison.
(Valve time Soon" (1998), Real time October 10, 2007)
Or rather Duke Nukem Forever time, they started the development in 1996 and released it 2011.

sometimes little harsh is needed with hope LG would heard us..

I totally agree, they need to hear us. You got a good piece of hardware here and if you want to wipe out the competition, you just have to deliver...still not gonna whine about the phone because its a hell of a phone for me and I don't regret having it...
I just hope they deliver ICS though, I won't care if they dont release GB if ICS is up and running on the phone

If the GB update solve all the current issues, I dont think it would take much time for them to deliver ICS, but still it depends on LG it they wants to give us ICS.

we will get ICS when Gellybean comes out, lg works on a different year.

[Q] Optimus 2X or 3D?

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
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk

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...

Nice phone, but too big.
Spica, you've got a message in your inbox from me.

Hmmm this really sounds interesting...

I looked and thought hmmm very nice, but I don't even think they have bothered putting ics on it, they said a lightly customized version, LG are still looking ****ty on there software even for their newest phones, will wait and see what samsumg has to offer quadcore wise before I make any decisions,
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium

I think it looks lovely, maybe a bit big, but bear in mind these are little women by the looks of it!
I read it does have ICS Can't remember where I saw that though.
It is certainly gonna be out of my price range as I would need to be unlocked/sim free as moving country soon :-(

it hasn't been 2 months since i got my o2x and i am already wanting a better phone for no apparent reason. It's GAS all over again

Looks nice but hesitant to trust LG after the awesome piece of crap/disappointing gem that is 2X.

I wish lg would stop spitting out new devices and properly support the ones they already have. Im not getting that lg/nvidia crap so they can dream on.

PSA: Galaxy SII now $199 on HSN

OK I have a birthday tomorrow and as a present I am moving on to the Galaxy SII (yes, it's FINALLY my turn to say that!). $199 was too good to refuse, especially with 4 flexpays of $50. Two years of battling the Exhibit are enough, wouldn't you say? Anyway I will miss the forum around here a bit, even though we've had a number of departures over the past year. If it wasn't for the good folks in this community the Exhibit would have been retired LONG ago for me. Frankly without a custom ROM/kernel it is a POS device. No other way to put it! At least we have one or two new guys on the block to carry on for those who still have this phone or just got it. I wish them luck. As for myself I can't wait to try all the things that are available on XDA for this device. Hope I don't flash more ROMs than I did for the Exhibit or I will have no life left, LOL.
Anyway for those who are interested, go here for the deal: http://www.hsn.com/products/samsung-galaxy-sii-no-contract-smartphone-t-mobile/7334966
A couple months they ran out and just now got these phones back in stock. At that price I bet they don't have them for long.

Good deal. Glad you are getting something you want, it'll be sad to see you go. You've always been helpful, and generously shared your experience with testing and results. So for that thank you.

Thanks man. Unfortunately HSN just raised the price back up to $249, same as they have it on Amazon. Man glad I didn't procrastinate anymore like I always do. Funny thing is I watched the video presentation they did on TV and I'm thinking how many more they could sell if they promoted the fact you can root & get the latest ROMs out there. Of course if they did that people would know they can get rid of that bloatware! Just think of the poor sheep who will just keep stock ICS on it.

I think that rooting is beyond the scope of most people's interest. As it also voids any warranty, the manufacturer would be slightly against HSN promoting the practice, is my guess.

Oh yeah, sure that's part of it too. Sadly you're right, most people probably wouldn't want to make effort to make their phone better than it is. Too much thinking involved!

Which is good for me, as it means phones which have already been rooted sell for less on eBay. Saving me money and hassle.

They said 4.0 on the commercial and on the website. A friend of mine has one and it has ICS on it. No matter because it will be rooted and updated when I get it. Question will be whether or not to go with a 4.2.2 rom or KitKat. So many apps need to catch up to ART and the whole 4.4 OS system.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit running AOIP.

Yes. There still needs to be some development before I move to 4.0. I'm very interested, once the system had been around a bit. I don't usually get the x.0 version of any software. To many issues.

Well the phone is finally here so it's goodbye to the Exhibit! Thanks to so many who made the Exhibit a tolerable phone and were a pleasure to have banter/discussions with here in the Exhibit forum. Shout outs and thank you's to @camcory, @jocala, @Tim1928, @smartguy044, @bpear96, @detett, @tazmaniondvl, @meekwrb, @Dvarl, @CoolLoL1999, @[email protected], @jrleathers, @Bloodflame (aka "Flames of Blood"), @afwolfpacked (aka "Airwolf"), @cars1189, and @Jaws4God. @jfbs good luck to you, you will be the last salvation for this phone. @Proud2banoob good luck in learning the ropes!
BTW if I forgot somebody it wasn't on purpose. Now on to the hard work of rooting and finding a ROM for the new phone. Hopefully I will settle on one or two but if my experience with the Exhibit showed anything it was a penchant for being a fairweather ROM user!:laugh: I may stop by here every now and then too, afterall I haven't given the Exhibit away to anybody yet.
Lastly if it was one thing I got out of using this phone, it was to appreciate a really good phone once I got it.

hah hah! Congrats sir on the new phone.
I went ahead and plunked some coin for a Nexus 5. It has some sound bugs (some sound is fine with some apps and not others) and the vibration isn't as strong on key presses (but in other areas is fine and a tester app I found shows the vibration motor is fine). Meh, the speed just kicks butt! Also, having 2G of RAM is ..... awesome. The quad core ... anyway .. you get the idea.
I am still thinking of which ROM to put on ... I had cyanogenmod on my other phone and I loved it ... but they're not quite ready.
Take care and thanks for writing man!

Fed up with no gps and lack of an update to KK?

Well, after doing some simple att chat support and using my caps lock, I learned that att can offer any note 3 user any phone as a replacement(excludes iphone since only apple does iphone support, and includes the gs5 if we still don't get a gps fix by the time it's released.) As much as I love my note 3 the lack of gps functionality is really annoying, especially since I got my license a few weeks ago. So, personally this seems like a great fix to get the latest and greatest phone for free.

Yes the GPS is a very useful and needed feature. Wanna know something cool though? You are on a development site that has already put out a fix in the for of mods and custom KK ROMs.
As far as official KK goes... It gets released when it gets released.

That's such a terrible outlook to have. It's like "I am okay with MNCs not being accountable for their actions and their inability to do stuff within a timely manner. People are just being spoiled, it's not like they spent good $ on a device." Not everyone roots devices. Voiding warranties is not cool for everyone. So pipe down.

Well then why are people here on this site?
This is a development site. Not a ***** and moan site, not a social network, not a support site.
99% of the people on this site have a rooted device, so that logic is out the window.
If you don't have a rooted device, oh well. I don't care and you have no place here especially if you are going to complain about stuff.
I say this again, there are fixes in the form of mods and custom ROMs. If you don't want them, that is fine. However, if you really don't want the fixes we have provided for FREE, then go away and quit complaining to us. We don't care.
AT&T will fix and release stuff when they are ready. You do not pay them for what is on the device. You pay them for cellular service and data. You don't pay for GPS, so acting like you are entitled to it being fixed by them is completely null and void especially since the GPS software and hardware isn't even developed by them.

Going to have to disagree with you here. Hey you don't pay for the screen on your phone but you do expect it to turn on don't you. The gps is no different than any other function of the phone. It is listed under the detailed specs of both at&t and Samsung's website and should be expected to work out of the box with out tweaking anything. At&t modified the software running on the phone and broke the gps while doing it.

I'll agree with that on a few points. But all they can and really have to do at this point is replace the unit with a refurb. Patience is needed. *****ing about things on this site will do nothing to make AT&T fix it and it pisses people off.
They will fix it when and if they fix it.
I see a ton of users on XDA that expect things. That's not how it works here and is one of the reasons a lot of very reputable devs have jumped ship.
Entitlement has hurt our community.

I think what you're missing is that the OP is not complaining here, but providing a potential solution (assuming it is accurate). Truthfully, your posts look more like whining than the OP's. Your comment regarding "entitlement" is off base. Is it not reasonable to expect the device to work? The purpose of development here is not (primarily anyway) to fix broken features, but to improve or add features. Another purpose of this forum is information (both to give and receive).
That being said, I appreciate your frustration.

I bet this statistic is far from true with newer devices. I'm sure the purveyors of the site would be happy to run all of us and their ad revenue off because we don't feel the need to root our devices anymore. This isn't WinMo 5, this isn't even Android 2.x, most recent Android devices can be pretty decent with no specific modifications to the software environment.

The GPS libraries HAVE been modified by AT&T. That's pretty apparent since all the other branded and unbranded models work. What isn't necessarily apparent is if AT&T knows exactly how they broke it. I for instance did pay for the device to be fully functional as advertised. GPS functionality is listed on the box and I would consider it to be part of my $750 purchase.
I appreciate you're a BA mobile developer or tinkerer, but the only person here with a sense of entitlement is you. If you're attempting to usher in a new era of "if you aren't a developer, scram!" on XDA you aren't the first and won't be the last but I can assure you none of those who act that way do it successfully.

Lol at buying a device and expecting the gps to work is "entitlement" attitude.....

Hey they can keep kitkat I will take a M8 till the 1+ comes out. No more Samsung products for me!
Now watch KK will start rolling out before they make it to the stores.

Trying to exchange my phone. Apparently the first rep. that I had was really nice. Right now they are saying that they can move me to an early upgrade for another line as compensation.
