(Disappointing!) US LG says 2X end up its life to 2.3.4

(Disappointing!) US LG says 2X end up its life to 2.3.4!(US facebook)
How can LG treat its flagship product like this? even HTC Incredible S, single core, certainly get 4.0 upgrade, recent announce by HTC. 2X is a DualCore smartphone, hah??? no 4.0 ?? fuzzy.
In other word, black is also go to the end of its life by official 2.3.4. I can only say, never buy LG anymore.

Where did you get that information? I can't find it on LG USA Facebook. Can you provide us a valid information?
If it's just another speculation, I believe that this topic will be taken down quickly by mods...

Well that's really sucks...
Sales are down both on year-on-year basis and sequentially and the conglomerate has actually lost some money over the past three months.

LG reports disappointing Q3 results, handset sales down, and we are disappointing with LG Update results, because they don't care about customers... just thinking about sales and being rich...

Really disappointed. Almost all the other brands(HTC, Samsung, Moto) have announced that most of their android 2.3 smartphones will be upgradable to ICS.
If LG really not provide ICS for optimus black/2x, certainly no one would buy its products again

Agreed. Very disappointing. I love my optimus black but I hate LG now. If optimus black won't have been such an amazing good phone I would have sweared not to buy another LG product for sure.

LG Jordan - إل جي الأردن Hi Mohammad Abbadi ICS is the android version 2.4, it has been released very recently in the market and as of now its not clear if its going to be available for P970 and P920 ... there is only one model in the market that has ICS and its a Google product... as I informed you The Optimus Black will receive the gingerbread update and we will announce it on our page as soon as the update is ready for the end user... LG Jordan Team thank you for your continuous support to our products and hope you will always be a fan of our page.

I think they will giv 4.0 to ob/2x it will be late but we will hav it

Well, I think it's still too early to say. ICS has just been released only anyway, i guess it takes time to determine if it comes. Some people say it might come, some say it might not. Only time will tell. Though one thing's right though, updates are awfully slow. I don't know if the LG team is incompetent or just not dedicated, but the other manufacturers are doing a much better job :/

Ya same things happen when gb realesed many peoples said that gb required atleast 1ghz processor but thats all gone fake and i bet ics will come to all high end devices
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium

what are you all dreaming???ICS on OB and/or 2x??? I am so sceptic about this!!
We have not yet gingerbread on OB, and you are looking forward to ICS??
HAHAHA!! LG treat customers as figures on income reports!!
If they (maybe) give us GB when ICS is out in the market, untill they will give us (or be ready to give us) ICS for OB, the phone will be replaced with another phone .....

I do not believe for a second that this OB will get ICS .. but I will have sold my first and most definately last LG phone before Gingerbread gets within a thousand miles of it. LG - you suck big time, please please go bust!

Thats why I sold my OB this week... I'll never trust in LG again.
I moved to an HTC HD2. I know its a quite "old" device, but I'm sure that I will have all updates from community, so its fine for me.
Next time, I'll never think in LG again. Simply, I'm too dissapointed with it, its a shame...

I suggest everyone lets them know what they think on twitter @LGElectronics

hmm honneslty the biggest reason I've bought an OB for, is the nova screen. I was even thinking about selling it for the OW. But, since some times going back to sony ericsson is on my mind (one of my previous phones was a W810i)

Okay no wonder they lost millions from last year. LG is really sucks!!!! Good hardware bad development, very bad to maintain their costumers.
Xiaomi, come to papa! Or Any suggestion for $400 phone?

IPS is very good and natural in color. But nova bright LEDs are just a gimmick. I compared nova and super amoled from nexus s with high brightness, okay p970 has the most brightness but.everthing washed out. Super amoled can keep black color in maximum brightness. But who uses max brightness???

[Q] Discontinued???

Hi
I recently found that one of the online shipping site(Flipkart.com Indian) has marked Optimus 2x as permanently discontinued.But with ICS release in the near future i want to know why lg has done this?
Is this is in indian only or can anyone confirm elsewhere it has been discontinued?

I sure that the discontinued is only applies for that store and has nothing to do with LG or its ICS update.

even if it does get discontinued its got some awesome hardware.
we're lucky with all the exceptional Dev's on this site, i know my phone will only get better and be in good hands with the XDA community.

will got no support soon

Hello dears,
I write here for the first time in LG 4X forum and I don't want people those who already bought this device to misunderstand me please
the device is really equipped with the latest and fastest hardware at factories,
But..
LG as company is not new, it was (Gold Star) company and replaced the complete ID of the cheap company with Gold Star with LG as new brand.
and the new department decides to get the latest in the market and hit it with the newest electronic weapons as your 4X
I got a past trying with LG devices, with P990 and P999 (G2X) it was really perfect as hardware but as software, it is still with GB v2.3.5 as the final stock ROM from LG, start from v2.2
I don't why LG can't support her devices to the latest software at google android !!!
So the point that I want to reach here is:
Don't expect LG to support your device to the latest ROMs of android, it will stop at 4.1.1 or 4.2 and stop there then you will see the support from MIUI or CM team, but not LG and will face ton's of change log's and (what working) (what is not)
LG is good for short month's of usage but not for long time.
Hope LG support department read this thread and try to support the software teams in the future.
hope you got what I means
Regards

You are very optimistic thinking that reached 4.1 1

I disagree. It looks to me that LG won't even update our 4x to jelly bean.
Lg are bunch of noobs.
To lg - if you are planning to fight with the likes of Samsung/HTC - offer same type of service. Like Unlock tool for the bootloader. Or unlocked boot loader from factory. At least that way we can make our own way into future updates...
I hate myself for buying a lg! Wasn't even aware of locked boot loader. Next time I will sniff around1000 times before deciding to buy a lg.

How many updates to the firmware has there been since the phone was released? And where are the fix lists?

there are 10a to 10f firmware and i think the update only to solve the problem and i think there will be no update because they think they do a good job...... if they reliaze it!!
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app

Fixes are fine by my book, ICS is already a very good platform to use. Sure, JB brings more improvements but it is game changing compared to GB to ICS.
Can you show me the fix list? I've searched a lot on google but no one seems to have it..

Perhaps we can hope that lg will upgrade the 4x hd directly to Key Lime, if the rumors about a sonn-to-come Optimus Nexus are true...

1. LG Optimus Nexus is not a rumor, but true
2. Yeah, maybe they're working about something (i'm f*ckin optimistic)

Although, LG's software support is crap, i'd still choose their Hardware over HTC's. And, just being chose by Google as the manufacturer for their new flagship device...LG will hopefully get more love by devs. The Optimus 4x HD is a true beast, it's a shame that LG won't unleash its true capabilities. I've been contemplating in whether to get an O4x HD (price is soooo cheap) or just wait for the LG Nexus G (which is most likely what im guna do). Either way, my next phone will be an LG. For some reason, i've becomed very bored with Samsungs, especially with my S3.

LG is going to make a conference on 24-25 oct, hope we'll get some infos about updates

LG need to much time, they will update.

welcome to the community, you have a lot of info for read, our device was made obsolete some time ago by LG and their terrible update practices, we only depend of our lovely developers and cyanogen team, if you want to have the best experience with your new phone i recommend you to try a custom rom, if you want the stock stylus i recommend you Zaiben RC7 if you want to feel close pure android experience, you have to flash cyanogen mod 11, or vanir, or paranoid android, of course you have to read a lot of info before try anything

Firmware v10d is old. You should be able to OTA to v20 JB 4.1.2 based firmware. If you can't get it through OTA, then you can install LG Mobile SW to PC host and update from there.

Yes, you can tell. Look at the bottom of the box, near the serial and IMEI numbers there is a three-letter code above the device colour (white in your case). This is the region code for the original release target.

So i guess is 'C' Stands for china means its coming from asian market ?
Also i'll answer other mates who replied here
I don't want to flash a rom on it yet because i have 1 year warranty and i have it since 1 day so i will wait to see if any problem will occur with it
Alredy i see a problem so called 'power button' it is not responsive and i click 2-3 times (not always) until screen comes on.
EDIT: Also updated the phone via USB to 'V20b' 4.1.2 but now when i use it longer it tells me that i cant turn up the bright of the screen to max because of overheating.
I just mention that to say it is annoying to me i know it is made to be more safe against overheats.

Once you have a good reading around, you should be able to root it (which after you can uninstall those apps using something like Titanium Backup) and if you feel like, flashing another rom
