Fido in Canada just launched an 850/1900 Mhz version of the Optimus 2X today (http://www.fido.ca/web/page/portal/Fido/Smartphones?smartphone=android&skuid=P990BLKF).
Has anyone gotten one of these yet? If so, What kind of firmware is on it? Would one be able to flash ROMs from the development forum on this device or would the radio be a problem? Specifically, I'm wondering if CM 7 would work on this thing.
Thanks

I believe CM7 works on the South American P990H, which also sports 850/1900 3G. There is a thread in the marketplace with someone selling a P990H running CM7. I doubt there'd be a lot of difference between the two, if any.
I currently have a P990H en-route and am going to attempt this, so if you haven't heard anything beforehand I'll check back in here and let you know!
Thanks for the info. I'm going to try to get my hands in one soon if possible. If I do I'll provide an update here.

Think he was after 465 if you're interested. They're about the same on Negri also. I don't think there's any bloat on them either.

Any update on this.
Would ROM Optimus 2x works on Fido?
Planning to rewnew my contract on Fido to get the Optimus 2x.
But they offer me a crappy plan to stay with them.

The dual-core Optimus 2X may not have hit the shelves yet, but LG has alledgedly began working on its sequel.
According to reports, the Korean manufacturer is working on the “LG P999″, a 3G-enabled Android smartphone. Although unconfirmed, its name suggests a bump up from the Optimus 2X, otherwise known as the P990.
From its leaked documentation, the handset has been confirmed as packing Bluetooth, 3G and WiFi connectivity, with 4G speeds available in the States. Sources also claim it will land with Android 2.2 with an imminent upgrade to Gingerbread, and from a benchmark scores list, it’s likely to feature a dual-core processor.
No word on when we’ll be seeign the LG P999, although it’s rumoured to to landing within the next few months. Don’t go getting too excited, as some sources are claiming the handset will be a regional variant of the LG Optimus 2X. Only time will tell…

Its probably just the 4G version for the US.

I'm a bit sad that USA carriers are abusing the term 4G. 4G is LTE Advanced (and WiMAX?). Not LTE and especially not HSPA is 4G.
Can't post links yet, but just google "ITU World Radiocommunication Seminar highlights future communication technologies".
So what technology are you talking about for the US market? WiMAX?
That depends on what carrier is going to offer it. There are some rumors it might be t-mobile so its going to be HSPA+.
ITU also said that HSPA+ can be called 4G.

Any updates on this phone yet? Have you tried it out on AT&T 3G bands yet? Any luck with Cyanogenmod?
Hey Julio, let me know when you're sick of it!
Hope you're well mate.
well everyone it came in and it works perfectly on at&t! It has spanish packaging and such so it must be from a carrier in South America. I've inserted a screen cap of it working on at&t!
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
So does the 3G bands work as advertised??
Hopefully he does
Newegg has them in stock now:

Yeah Markus, I have CyanogenMod installed currently. I used the 7.1 RC1 for the Optimus 2x. Didn't change the baseband. Network indicator stayed on G for a while, it's back to normal now.

There is a setting in the hidden menu on the P990 for wcdma 850 but dont know if works.

@juzz86 what's your baseband?
I love this phone but I'm in Tmobile does anyone know if it can be unlocked for tmob
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
hey, i'm also from t-mobile
Yea, the Thrill can work on T-Mobile if you've unlocked it. However it can only run on its 2G network.
If you want to get cheaper and don't mind the slow data speeds, you can get the Thrill and unlock it.
For me, i bought mine here and it's able to access T-Mobile's 3G network. More pricey, but if money didn't matter I think its a better choice. Its also a safe purchase, I checked them out and they have a real store and certified by the Better Business Bureau
Unlicked = LoL
Anywho, if you want this phone but want Tmo bands then get the Optimus 3D.

Be careful though, because the Rogers branded Optimus 3D (marketed as the Optimus 3D as well, no cheesy marketing name like 'Thrill') does not have T-Mo's 1700 band. I believe the international Optimus 3D does have the proper bands though.
Getting a Rogers O3D would be quite difficult to even get.
Awesome. Thank you for the input. One more question, you mentioned something about the bands. Can they be flashed like Roms or am I wrong? I no Tmobile is on the 1700 and att is at 1900 if I'm not mistaken.

Not all the unlocked Optimus 3D that you find internationally supports T-Mobile's 3G network.
Search around and make sure you pay attention to the 3G network bands. Don't worry about the 2G Network bands because those are bound to work for both T-Mobile and AT&T. Just make sure the one you purchase includes 1700. If it helps, the ebay link I gave earlier is where I got my phone.
Also the bands can't be flashed through a rom. The bands are from hardware... you're stuck with it once you purchase your phone.

Pretty much I was gonna say.
Eventually there will most likely be an Unlock Solution for this phone that doesn't cost money persay unless you want to donate. As it stands you could always contact one of those remote unlocking sites and get it unlocked. Either way though there will most likely be an unlock solution it's just too early in the game to get it for this phone.
Awesome thanx for all your support and questions answered. I'm going to check that link out for sure

Hi. I Have a T-mobile 4g Dell Streak 7. I got it and within a day i had installed Dj_steve's StreakDroid. I liked it at first but when i started playing games they would force close. All my games force closed at one point or another. Not only games but other things too. I decided to try Dj_Steve's ICS which is much worse but I know its a work in progress and I appreciate his work.
Now im trying to go back to Stock froyo or whatever is the latest ROM from Dell. I need my games. How do i go back. I saw a thread on here but it was only for the WiFi version.

I do not own a T-Mobile 4g unit but the Roms found at the link thread are official Dell Roms.
I am not 100% sure but isn't the 4G US Rom the one you are looking for?
Did Dell sell an unbranded 4G DS7s in the US?
Unless you are attached to the T-Mobile bloatware, I think it might be safe if you used the 4G US HC Rom... but as usual... proceed at your own risk...

They started selling unbranded 4g's sometime last summer up till they stopped selling them.
They sold them though their website, I dont recall if it was even available in any physical store.
That's the main reason US-4g roms exist seperate of the tmo 4g ones
FC's are more often incompatibility between the OS and the app, rather than the ROM causing it.
I upgraded from stock 2.2.2 last Friday and have 506 on here now. Whole new device. A real tech bargain at $179 USD. Happy as can be.

If you can locate a 514 rom... I would highly recommend it. 506 gave me quite a bit of trouble... few FCs and clunky UI... 514 is WAY better... my 2 cents...
Anyone else have the Rogers LG Optimus 3D? It's the p925g. However I'm having problems with mine. Every since the v20c update my data and cell connection will freeze and cause rapid battery drain. After talking with @RogersHelps on Twitter they tell me to have it replaced/repaired. They also tell me it will cost $35 to do this. My fear is that any replacement they send will have the same issues. Does anyone else have these problems with the Rogers firmware?

I would look into flashing the v20p att KDZ and see if that helps, just a thought. im sure someone else will chime in soon.

Check the Optimus 3D forums. If you can't find support or what you're looking for in the branded model forums, always, always, ALWAYS look in the reference model's forums as the phone is basically the same across all models (P920 International O3D, P925 US-AT&T "Thrill", P925G Canadian-Rogers, SU760 Korean O3D), just minor adjustments by region (with these models the radios in particular).
I flashed my P925 with P920 firmware, unlocked it, and put it on T-Mobile and get FAR better service (deadzones roughly the same, better service at home, faster data everywhere), no GC, and NO BS from my carrier about doing it. When you get a sweet phone, make sure you get sweet service with it too.
