[Q] LG Optimus 2X a safe choice ?

Hello Everybody
I got an offer for LG Optimus in ebay for a good price.
The offer was well worth when comparing to it's specification.
But, i was searching about the mobile phone in internet to find out any major problems.
And i came across following issues.
Would lose network connectivity frequently for no apparent reasons
constant "Force Closure" messages.
Unstable Gingerbread update process.
On-screen keyboard frozen up occasionally
I heard that if we use LG Updater software, then there is no issues in upgrading to Gingerbread.
And i heard that Gingerbread update completely fixes the phone lockup and reboot problems, is it true ?

There is no GB update out yet....
Most of problems on this device are baseband related, and after 3 baseband update, its still not that good...

It's safe if you're willing to mould it into what you want.
If you want to use it as LG provide it, it's not so good.

Root. And flash a stable rom. Then its verry safe.
The downside is that when u drop it, the screen cracks really fast. The + side is that it is not that difficult to replace the gorilla glass by yourself. There is a nice vid of it on youtube.

Android Gingerbread update has been released for T-Mobile G2X http://www.phonearena.com/news/Gingerbread-update-for-the-T-Mobile-G2x-goes-live_id20543
Isn't T-Mobile G2X and LG Optimus 2X same ?

They're the same in North America, but not the rest of the world.

So, if i buy LG P999, Then is that T-Mobile version?
If so, if i install Gingerbread firmware in T-Mobile version of LG Optimus 2X, then would the major problems be rectified?

P999 is the T-Mobile G2X or the Wind Optimus 2X, the update should indeed help with some things, check out the G2X forum for info.

Had the Optimus 2x by one month and i tell you that i am very satisfied of him. I have a stock room with all the latest updates and i don't have problems of reset or keyboard. IF you don't use it much you can get more then 2 days of battery.
In Europe the T-mobile G2x is not the same with the lg optimus 2x. You probably broke your phone if you update it with the firmware of G2x

im now running FR19 fearkill edition 12.4 with the neoblaze OC kernel.. (smooth as butter)
the DJ droid seems to be a stable rom aswell
(the good thing about this phone is that there are plenty of roms to choose from,
i recommend the fearkill roms. eventually i always got back to them. (never hade anny trouble with them)

Does these Roms preserve LG customizations?

fearkill deleted a couple of them but u can add them. there is a link in his topic where u can download all the lg software and add them to the rom

Golden question - did GB on the G2X fix most issues?

Go ask in the G2X forum?

I think its a good choice, even on stock rom i had no problems butnon CM and Miui i did abit of baseband swapping to find the bestbin for them and everything is fine upgrading basebands has given me better signal..ect

For me O2x is a lol choice.

Baseband issues :
- calls quality are really bad (for me)
- lags appears when you install apps : the device becomes totally unusable (im wondering if there is a rom that fix this issue)
- wifi error durring connection establisment/ hspa drops connectivity with NO reason.
- Audio playback may lag quite randomly (probably due to stock rom)

The app install lag is gone in CM, and possibly MoDaCo ROMs.

Horrible battery? change ROM

Recently I went from CM7 to MIUI,my cm7 rom probably wasn't in the best condition, more upgrades and kernel revision than I could count on 20 hands, so I decided to switch over to MIUI backed up all my same apps etc, usage habits have not changed a bit.
On cm7 it was pretty common to change out my battery just after arriving to school (lengthy train commute) now on arrival it is on 45% with exactly the same usage.
So I guess it's worth a complete reinstall no matter what ROM you're using.

What is the question exactly?
If you are asking about rom, I am not a fan of cm7/miui. There is some pretty good stock based roms (django manouche, rebuild of v20q, civato, gueste) which with combination of kernels (spica, gueste) gives me 2 days of battery. So, if you are a hard user, it should last at least a day.

There is no question

You didn't really need to change ROMs I guess. You could've just reformatted, then reflash back to CM7 right?

Yes, although im not sure if MIUI just inherently has better battery life or if my old cluttered ROM was responsible. They're both more or less based off the same thing though.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4

Yes I think Mungulz's OP is understandable if you're not looking at it as a question.
When I read it I understood that the message was that instead of just flashing the updates over the old system that it is best to do a complete wipe and a complete ROM flash. Right Mungulz?
That's how I like to do it anyways Backup important apps and totally wipe the sucker!

cm7 - a well oiled machine
miui - eye candy
stock based roms - a mixed bag of god knows what, some good, some bad (but more bad..)
personally i love cm7 cuz of the many settings

[Q] Battery-friendly ROM

Hi guys, maybe you read this question a lot of times...
In your opinion which is the best battery friendly ROM for our device atm? I don't really care about performance aspects because I'm not a gamer

I get +/- 1 day on stock JB (GPS always ON, data always On). Last time i tried CM (RC2) i didn't get 6h...

I'm currently getting a decent ammount of battery life with CM Nightly 20130613 + Idoak v6 kernel.
Also Stock ROM with Idoak kernel is good aswell. Just have my Governor set to Interactive and seems to do a pretty well job.

From what I've read/heard around. The CM RC version are alot more buggy and problematic than the Nightlies. I haven't tried the RCs myself tho the Nightly does feel pretty smooth and stable.

Which firmware?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium

ROM has little to nothing to do with battery life, aside from the obvious settings you can select to turn opn or off features. what does influence battery life is how you use the phone and in particular 3 key elements
1) Kernel - Stock kernel is pretty limited, using alternative kernels will allow different governor and scheduler options along with frequency and voltage control
2) Tweaks - many unsuspectable little things can change the way your phone drains, probably the best way to start is getting pimp my rom from the plauy store
3) Apps - You will need apps to help managing and scheduling when and how the phone drains. LBE security master or any other task manager will prevent unwanted app startings and others like juice defender or other battery saving programs help with which interfaces are on and when.
Also keep in mind that if your phone is new the battery in the first 3-4 days need to settle and will change drastically behaviour.
Hope this helps
In any case a catania sto telefono te lo fanno prima della terza ricarica quindi non mi starei a preoccupar troppo

Grazie XD
In this case which kernel and governor do you suggest me?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium

Stock rom, remove LG MLT and Google Backup Service and you should be good.
I can leave my phone for 2 days without worrying about charging it. However, with screen set to 50 or 100% brightness, the battery drains very fast.
Otherwise, keep your screen brigthness low and get a governor that lets you throttle the CPU. At 800 MHz,you should be fine. Also, dont use auto brightness, it will not help.

Thank you which firmware?

EuroOpen V20A if stock or CM, some nightly between RC2 and RC 3(Thats the last ones I tested that used to be good)

Could someone help on what r the steps for install custom ROMS and Wich one is the best for battery life I'm having very very huge battery problem. The battery it's long for about 3 hours tops and I need to keep charging always and also the overheat is extremely. I will appreciate ur help
Enviado desde mi LG-P880 usando Tapatalk 2

Sorry but you should write a new topic for this problem... Anyway there are several guides in this section that revolve about how to install custom roms. Try looking there... However generally after installed a recovery you should do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) -> install zip from sd card -> choose zip from internal/external sd card -> [file directory] -> choose file -> yes

Im using iodak 6.0 and latest CM nightly builds. Battery is much better then on stock ROM and kernel.

I dont know if iodak improves battery life, but I do not think that battery improved with CM. It actually got worse for me,

XenonHD + iodak v06 has been very smooth and battery friendly. A day and a half of moderate use and I'm sitting at 18%

No replys?...

Cm (02/07) + Optimus Prime V1.9. I use cm because it's (IMO) the best way to enjoy the android experience. Also because all the mods are compatible with cm.
The reason i use this kernel is because of the performance/battery life.
Cheers

Stock v20a Euro with stock kernel I deleted some applications that come preinstaled and now everything is fine.Using stock because i like LG UI 3 and because i didnt yet installed CWM If anuyone can recomend guild how to instal CWM (best version for our phone) please do so
P.S. mine 20a Euro is unlocked and rooted.

Zaiben ROM and eternity project kernel, best performance and battery life, first time that I don't need to lower the graphics of real racing 3 to ir run lag free, also first time that I run butterly smooth mc4 and 10 hours sleeping with only 8% drop

@Jonte Thank you for quick explanation I already did unlock bootloader on my lg so now just CWM to go

The Last zaiben with stock jb kernel. With cyanogen and/or other kernel my phone gets so hot . Also i get a good deep sleep with this combo.

Great thread. I was wondering if all of you can provide screenshots of your battery life? Im still on stock JB and kernel, but rooted, with few apps frozen, but my battery life is still rather short.

well, I used to enjoy playing some Tegra games on it, but I just hope there's something to smoothen the performance and enhance the battery life as it is now still very disappointing.
I'm currently running V20A rooted still with locked bootloader ( I believe ). I have frozen several LG apps (if not all), and the battery life is still disappointing.

IceColdLG-P880_IceColdJelly_3.6_Final_HOX[PORT]by_SnXo. Very fast,stable,long batery life.I thing is the best rom so far.

Umm? So you play 38 hours with screen off? Including 30 hours without battery? Wow -- would you mind sharing that trick?
This is a really useful thread indeed, as one can not only learn which ROMs are available but also how stable/battery-saving etc. they are. What I'm still missing are the links to the ROMs sources. Would be great if you could include them! Thanks

Yepp, that sounds more like it, and fully logical. Should have thought myself that there are some external chargers available also in the atomics sector; leaks are that common nowadays #D
Honestly: Yeah, I already thought you meant "10 min", but I couldn't resist the joke

You should try reinstalling your ROM, try with v20c, my dad's phone has one day and a half of battery with two hours of screen on, sync on with a gmail and a exange account from his work, whatsapp and that, in my case I can reach 10 hours on zaiben with eternity project and with gmail sync, whatsapp and 20 mins of playing modern combat 4 and real racing 3 each
