Hi guys, im new to this forum I want to get an optimus black. So plz be patient and answer some of my questions
1. Is the screen good looking? Like clear and no pixels, u know what i mean, a crispy display XD
2. Can i install games like nova2, temple run and many other graphics requiring games from playstore? Any performance or lag issues? <---- This is most important for me.

Anything u think could have made the phone better?
And finally do we have very nice custom ROMS? I bet ICS is still in beta... and we wont get official ICS right?

Thats reassuring man. Thank you. Expecting further encouragements XD
1- This display is one of the best, a friend of mine with SGSII agrees and another with HTC EVO agrees too
2.- I have nova2 and runs very smooth, pes12, fifa12, fieldrunners, osmosHD, asphalt6, minigore... you get the point, as every device it shows a bit of lag at some specific points but mostly when loading new stage or checkpoint
3.- Camera is awesome, you can check out the thread "post your pictures" [or something like that] at general forum
4.- is simply amazing
5.- go buy it already
NOVA is " Excellent High Quality Display" and save energy
Good performance to play game. I played some game you say and feel smooth
Camera is good too. but have litte dark.
GPU ~ Galaxy S ( PowerVR SGX530 vs 540)
We have nice custom ROMs
we will get ICS, but the biggest issue is LG. Yeah. LG is King of delay )
the phone is great, will get ics and as they said run games smooth
but if you'll use it for the coming years, go for a dual or quad core phone
but still, this phone is great
i sold my optimus 3D(had a good offer) but won't sell my Optimus Black

I think ICS LG OB finally not get officially, and I think that is not something to look forward from LG just look how badly ICS works with the new model LG Optimus L5...: (
LG OB are yet to be excellent especially display!
It WILL get official ics

The Phone is full value for money. Very Sleek, Stylish, light weight and an awesome display. Average Sound
LG promised official ICS. This time the delay is from TI who supplied chipset for the device.
But better than all these is the Community support. We have an amazing developer community here
Compared to the l5, this is twice the price and much more powerful

This phone is really good, and the best for its price.
The screen of OB is excellent, and it's the brightest screen you can find today
The only disadvantage is the hardware, which is nice but not the best (1Ghz single core)
But if you look for the best smartphones nowadays, buy Samsung Galaxy Siii or LG 4X HD.
I want to buy one of this phones Galaxy S1 vs Galaxy Ace 2 vs Optimus 2x.
How is the battery for 2x it is bad, because S1 has 1 core and the same battery ?? I saw on ace 2 and s1 on youtube it is running games like nfs and nova3. Can this LG run them ??

I would prefer the 2x over the other samsung phones.
I have played the nfs and works fine with custom kernel, great developers, unbrickable device and amazing community.

How it can be unbrickable ?? In the time when I install the rom and take battery out wouldn the phone be bricked ??

The stock rom can be flashed without the battery.
The phone can be bricked but also recoverable, thats the reason why its known as unbrickable device.
And how to recover the phone, for that you need to search

Unbrickable doesn't mean it's impossible to brick the phone, it just means it's impossible to permanently brick it. Meaning that if you screw up a flash and the phone doesn't boot, it's very easy to restore it to working condition.
O2X is quite better than s1 and ace
Simply take a look into the specs.There is also a great developing community that makes your phone working faster as the speedlight,hehehe

O2X has more raw power and a better camera, no doubt about that, but the S1 has better stability from official CM10/10.1 nightlies due to better drivers. There's only so much our best devs can do for the O2X when a lot of things from Nvidia are closed source.
the display is much better on O2X, every game runs on it well, the battery is alright.
oh and it looks better than both samsung's
Next buy would be the LG optimus G.
No samsung for me,because you have to buy a new battery after 6 months.....
Advantages of O2X:
Better display ( i think that amoled displays show a bit strange colors)
Better Processor - yes Nvidia is closed source but the GPU in Tegra2 is better even compared with Samsung GS2 and if you want gaming console O2X is a better choice obviously
Better look - i dont like plastic samsungs
Advantages of samsung S1 and Ace 2
Better source - better ROMs for them
Ace 2 has more RAM
And that's it i cant think of more.
Battery life in O2X is bad .. but with good ROM you can use it for a day or two
my opion i have the lg o2x and my friend has a galaxy s1 and yeah galaxy s1 is cool but slow and even with a rom, i instaled a gaming rom, very clean it runs okay, but you instal 5apps its slower and slower, battery is okay, but yeah 1core vs 2cores
the o2x had 8mp dualcore, i had like 10+ games on its was on cm7 runed great, no lags like the s1, battery on 2g i had 1day, but i texte hole day and texting eats batery, but internet on wifi great, 3g eat battery but is acptable. so good phone and it is cheap
but if you text a lot the s1 is good with black sms back ground you can text hole day, and on 3g is does alright with good rom, but yeah if you want apps dont take the s1, it not so fast
then the ace 2, 3.8"' screen and 800mhz dualcore, i guess battery is also good like the most sammy phones, but yeah you get 5mp like the s1
and littler screen.
just say what you want to do with phone.
games and lots of apps O2X and internet browsing is so smooth. sms the S1 internet is okay but slow, due the 1ghz singlz core.
ace 2 dont know is okay but cant beat the o2x
i would like to buy an optimus 4x or htc one x, i dont which is better, but the o4x is cheaper

go for one X
realy good xda suport, my onlce has it, its great, battery also great, for the little battery, o4x is not bad but xda suport not much, and from LG also not for drivers, but the then other side o4x has SD and removable battery.
if you dont need that go for one x 32 gb, its good and has a nice desin^^
ow and even ONE X is faster, they may have the same tegra 3, htc did a better jobs with perfomance, LG is slower.
but if you go for one X, install a custom rom, HTC sense is heavy and eats all the ram, my oncle has it with a AOSP rom and the phone is o much faster^^
but then still like always depends what you wanna do with phone
btw i see you have lg o2x, if you know the hell we had with for drivers, with the o4x, its not that wel also.
HTC is realy good.
Is OPTIMUS 2X display really better than Amoled Plus from Galaxy S1 (pls no fanboys) ?
yes..
I haven't found any comparision between displays so i wait more oppinions

you want awnser, okay simple amoled has colorfull colors but no real white, its more green.
LCD of o2x has great white but yeah its lcd so colors are not the colorfull as amoled, amoled yeah black black, and lcd is juste black.
realy the difference aint that much, when you play angry birtds on s1 the colors will be very bright and shiny like little children toys/games
LCD of o2x is just more real. i have now a lg l9 and i can see the differnce the o2x has a very good LCD
even if my L9 has IPS lcd, the o2x is still much more whiter.
so yeah its just taste. when you have phone you wont see difences. only when you compare.
i only like amoled for its black (is texting app with black background its saves battery)
has no + or -
your choose its the phone that mathers

Im not heavy gamer, but
From my experience this phone has bad performance on heavy tasks - because CPU can become VERY hot and on stock rom and kernel there is ridiculous cpu temperature threshold.
Of course you can install some custom roms and kernels - which makes things little bit better.
Sry, but every people that say 1 GB of Ram is small is a idiot.
I have the phone with CM 10.1 and currently Kholk kernel.
Its very smooth,battery saved and the tunned screen colors kills me <3
I have played NOVA 3 and on this kernel its hasnt got lag.
When you buy this phone. (And would like have warranty and a smooth phone then)
1.Root it
2.Delete all Bloatware
When you like flash a stock ROM like (Zaiben)
When for you warranty its not important then.
1.Unlock the Bootloader
2. root it
3.Flash CWM
4. Flash CM 10.1
5. flash a custom kernel the you like.
And you will have a super smooth phone ( Thousand times better than S3)
LG 4X HD - Better than a Smartphone
Buy it, its a great phone for the money, handles all games and that kind of **** good. Personally i stay with stock lg firmware, like it more than cm.

For what i think , its a really good phone rated at a affordable price. You get all the extras a top android phone needs + expendable storage and removable battery ,which Nexus 4 doesnt have. I upgraded from an EVO 3D and i dont regret it. Its a good choice ,buy it.
thank you all for your opinions
i actually like LG nexus 4....adreno 320 gpu....2 gb ram ....latest "up to date" android version.... IPS+ screen
the only thing i hate most about Nexus 4 is the back.home and menu buttons within the screen which make the screen smaller than 4.7 AND the non-removable battery because i am a heavy mobile gamer i like to have a spare battery i don't care about card slot i don't need more than 16 gb storage
BUT 4X HD has wider screen and removable battery .... and the Tegra3 effects in games are really amazing
Antutu benchmark : LG Nexus 4.... 18096
LG 4X HD .....14297
i am really confused
http://www.antutu.com/view.shtml?id=2940
http://www.antutu.com/view.shtml?id=261
I am too deciding between nexus 4 and 4x hd.
In my country I can find 4x hd for 240 eur. Nexus 4 16gb is 320eur so I don't know does nexus 4 really worth 80 eur more.
The benchmark are not really representative! And many people get more than 15000 with Antutu
The N4 has last Google updates but now that we have the official CyanogenMod support we'll have Android 4.3 and also probably 5.0 Key Lime Pie.
We do not have as many roms and kernel as the N4 but we have the better one and great kernels. and you won't get lost with hundreds roms in the O4X forums
I'm using Jellybeer + Iodak v006 and my phone is absolutely smooth, I can play all games I want without any lags and i do not have that persistant navbar under the screen. :thumbup:
Also I think that the O4X is much more beautiful than the N4 but that's a personal opinion.

Oh and just a thing I forgot, the O4X has the best screen I ever seen. One of my friend has got the Xperia Z and he admitted that my screen was better.
Watching films and playing beautiful games is amazing on this phone

If you live in any of the 8 countries where there is google play store, then the nexus 4 would be pretty cheap, but for its lack of a microSD card and no removable battery, expect a maximum life of 2 years because of the battery. Not having a microSD also has the problem of that you cant store any data, dunno if it is possible post android 4.0 to port apps to the sdcard(Damn you google).
My advice, wait for the S4 to lose in price or wait for the optimus G2. Lg products have a tendency to lose value pretty fast if you are willing to wait for more than 6 months.
If not, and money is the issue, get this phone. I dont know about gaming, but the screen is good and you can root it to remove bloatware.
Get an S3 if you want an AMOLED screen.
I'd recommend it to anyone who asks on xda-developers. The phone is great, but the LG stock software could have issues with battery draining, laggy (maybe more maybe less).
You are asking on xda-developers, so you are likely open to tweak your phone (ROM/Kernel) and most of the issues have been corrected by the community.
So yes, i'd buy it again. Display, Design, Speed are the main pros, battery is also ok - 3 hours screen on time should be obtainable so it's 1d normal use.
thank you all for your answers
i think i am gonna buy LG Nexus 4
but i will wait to collect more money so i am gonna wait some time and work much to get Nexus 4 ASAP
Thank You Guys
Always happy if we (I think I'm going to say something that everybody think) can help

what about Samsung Galaxy S 3
LG Nexus 4 better or Galaxy S 3 ???
both the same money in my country
S3 all the way... the quality of Sammy support is beyond perfect. Im sure you wont regret buying it, it will also become clear for you from taking a look at the approperiate forums here or elsewhere to see how the dev community are treating it too.. Absolutely not like the 4X HD - has much smaller amount of devs which are developing software/mods for it.

Sudden death, oh my troubles were far away when it was yesterday.
Suuudden death oh suudden death.
How far can somebody go and exaggerate that the S3 is 1000 better. If it was 1000 times better, it would not have a restarting bug, SDS, non-Standard MHL port and pentile OLED.
Its a "Should I buy it " thread, not "OMG this is the best thing since sliced bread thread"

Go ask that in the General Discussion, not in the LG 4X subforum. The last thing I want to read about is somebody writing about the Nexus or the S3 in a LG sub forum.
I hate these Nexus-Samsung fanboys more than apple fanboys.
Hello,
I need some help, Recently i just sold my Htc Explorer. It was one of my favourite mobile, i kept that mobile with love :crying:
I rooted that mobile and installed ICS
Now i am thinking to buy LG optimus P970 . I read reviews about this mobile. It has the brightest Nova display with 1 ghz processor
Do i buy it? please suggest me what are the disadvantages coz i never used any mobile of LG. I will be really grateful please guide me
Secondly, what is GPU and chipset.
I read that it can be upgraded to ICS ? Can it be ?
I am an advanced user who wants mobile for normal use & gaming. I want a fast and smooth mobile and i think that LG optimus black is best for me
My range is 10,000 rupees
In us Dollars = 99.9800
I had ob, and it was a good phone and new owner is happy with it now. All i havê to complain is about the black of support by LG. All the hard work of optimizing this phone And maintain it usable trought the time was made by the developers from here. Why dont u keep looking a little more. A think nexus s could be good for u, with a similar hardware just a little bit old than black.
