[Q] Final verdict . To buy or not 2X ?

Well guys im going to buy my first android on 18 July .! n im really confused by the comments n going through all the treads about the reboot related problems of this phone .! n now im really scared to buy this phone also i want a future proof phone as this will be my last phone from parents n i can buy my next phone after 3-4 yrs only ..! So guys plz help me weather to buy this phone or not .! Even if i get a defective piece will the problem be corrected in future updates or i will have to keep a defective phone for the next 4 years .! Also as in from india does India getting too much defective pieces ? or its just with some people when it comes to India ..
waiting for your suggestion ..!

Based on *my* experience I would not buy this phone again. It's unstable (over 60 recorded reboots since I bought the phone on April 18) and lacks proper support from LG (why does this not surprise me?). In my opinion, LG, again, fails to deliver on it's promises and keeps on spreading lies on whether or not an "update" fixes the reboot problem. I don't see this phone last for more than 2 years of intensive use, let alone 4 years. In that case, go for another brand although I won't start suggesting specific models.
FYI: I'm an experienced Android and used nearly every ROM available to remedy the problems I experienced.

Personally I think this phone is great. I hardly get any reboots or problems.
Install CM7, Paul's Modaco rom or the latest stock release and you'll be fine.

So mate u haven't got any problem like this before ? i mean the phone is all ok for ya ? rit ?

I'm also a happy owner of the 2x, that is however because I was able to buy it at less than half the retail price from the company I work at. As a lot of people already have mentioned the phones hardware is really good and by flashing custom ROM's like cm7 or Modace the phone becomes "ok" for everyday usage. However for a smartphone valued over 500€ it is way to buggy to stand up among its competitors in the same price range. Seriously; I simple cannot understand why anybody would buy this phone instead of, for example, the SII or the HTC Sensation. The 2x is a nice phone, no doubt about that, but I would seriosly save a couple of bucks and buy one of the other phones I mentioned = better hardware and working software + working customer support. (btw the camera is also lousy compared to the SII and Sensation - even with the HD mods...)
I'm not a LG hater, and I'm really happy with my 2x - seriously most people are still pretty much amazed by my phone when I'm toying aroung with it running cm7 with SPB Shell 3D, [email protected] 1,5ghz, dsp manager etc. but yeah It seriously cannot be compared to a Sensation or SII

I haven'd hat any reboot both with stock rom and custom roms. In my opinion stock rom was quite well usable except the battery drain. But Paul fixed it quite good, which makes it possible to charge the phone every second day with reasonable constant usage
kind regards

I cant compare to a Sensation or a SII since I haven't touched them but for me at this stage the LG is SUPER. Hope you made a good choice and that you are happy with it!

you buy't
I am a new user of this wonderfull phone. i have waiting a lot of time this phone because is like samsung s2 on the performance but on a price much afordable. On this phone you pay only the hardware and software of the amazing android but on the HTC and Samsung a 10% you pay the logo, the brand. good luck and from my experience i recomend't

I´m very satisfied whit my LG and haven´t had any problems whit it

Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

same here.. great quality and "open" like a google dev phone haha

I have it from the early begining and used only with MoDaCo ROMs , had no problems. Would buy it again.
Actualy I believe that most of the problems other have is because of basebands version incompatibility with instaled RIL...

I like my LG 2X. To me it has the best spec for the price range and good ROM from Paul and CM7. But if money is not a problem, get galaxy S2.

Fair well LG O2X .....

Dear all,
Thank all of the user here that I can find a lot information about my LG O2X in here. However, I can't stand more LG software update and the O2X future development. So only can do is change the phone. So thank a lot and fair well LG

Well, I gotta say ! I've had this phone for 7 months now ! and i ve never ever got a gps signal ! my dad has a galaxy Y .. which is the cheapes android phone out there ! and it CAN get a fix in 10 seconds ! so, congrats on your choice ! for me, after i finish from the O2X, definately im buying samsung

samsung? i will not choose samsung. maybe i will go for the xperia ion or htc.

Generally, The O2X not bad ..... LG O2X price was drop day by day, because a lot of new look, speed fast and high Ram phone come out, so in LG O2X only 512MB Ram .... little bit slow, and later on when LG O2X upgrade to ICS, do the 512 MB Ram will get the phone slower or faster that really dunno, But in Stock Rom GB, I need to stop a lot of service to maintain to the Ram has over 100MB Ram free to run other Apps, Make me tired, and you can say why don't change the Custom Rom, well, coz of I believe LG can do something good but end is not .... so I think is time to change the better one.

Well, SE Xperia the display is really good, but not all app can install on it, like the "Tiny Tower" can't install on it, and HTC the most update one is Sensation XE and XL. well, those XE and XL sound system is good and follow Beat ear phone, is nice! so different brand have their own advantage and disadvantage.

Buy a SGS or wait?

Hey guys, would you reccomend buying a SGS 2 or waiting for the next version? Anyone know when the next version will be out? I am on AT&T thanks!

it simply depends on the fact if u can afford a better device when it comes out... if you can then go ahead and wait... if you cant then there is no point... and if you choose to wait then wait a little longer to see if the device has sufficient developer support, if you are into rooting n custom ROMS...

I think it's best to wait for the S3 i will definately wait for it and i think it's worth waiting
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Its better to wait for S3 it will be very good for sure

I thought to buy the galaxy s2 because my s1 don't became ics and was very slow with all roms that i tried. But with the slim ics ROM I'm now very happy and the performance is great. Now i will wait until the s1 will die or no more updates will come from the Android community.
That save a lot of money and I'm very happy with my old lag free phone.
Just my 2 cent.
And excuse me for my English, best regards from Germany.
send from SGS i9000 with Slim ICS 3.1

I completely agree with the last poster. With Gingerbread, I was looking to upgrade. After I put ICS on my phone—especially with bigmem kernels sporting 400mb of available RAM—I see absolutely no reason to upgrade. My phone doesn't lag and I can play any of the new games I want to. I would definitely wait for the S3.

It depends on what you wanna do with your phone.
You are on XDA, so i guess you wanna try new roms an tweak your phone to the fullest
In that case buy the SGS 2, there is already a lot of devs building roms for the SGS 2
If you want the newest phone..... and can wait for it's release (don't know exactly when)... and can afford it..... and can wait for root to come out, the SGS 3 is your choice.
I have a SGS 1 to play with so my choice would be simpel... wait for the SGS 3.

Sgs3 22nd may UK. I have seen it and it really looks as if its from beyond this galaxy!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

I'd totally wait and even after S3 being released would wait some more.
I never buy something new after being fairly well tested and reviewed.
And even so, i'll probably hang to my SGS. I'm not even joking my phone's fast as hell even with a GB based rom, have probably the best sound you can have on any phone around, the perfect screen size for me with a beautiful screen with beautiful colors to look at, frontal button with no useless touch buttons (really who needs a dedicated search button anyway), built in a perfectly solid enough case with battery to spare for a whole day (i ask for no more).
i've been using mintberry miui for a good while now, have it well customized (plenty of wireless passwords saved, loads of apps with several data, everything works flawlessly without a single FC for months) and i can't really imagine all of this going even faster, it's fast enough as it is. I don't even consider changing to an ICS rom just yet.
The only things i would change is the **** gps that never really worked regardless what i try and wireless going into sleep mode regardless of me configuring it not to (although this is a rom/kernel problem). But i can live with both, my car already has gps, i already had a dedicated device before getting this phone as well and i can always have my phone not entering sleep at all in the first place, so... meh This is nitpicking anyway.
Really, i've put to thought changing my phone many times, but after considering what i'll get i always end up realizing my phone delivers everything i need with power to spare.
If you own an SGS you probably already have the best there is

I'm waiting for the Galaxy S4

i got both sgs1 an sgs2 so comparing sgs1 is sexy on gb but sgs2 is sexy on gb too..but performance of sgs2 is better an iam planning for new device tht will b latest may b sgs3 so better wait cause teck speeking quadcore,cam,speed war will start soon an every company will rush out new phones,so ull hav a chance to select,an may b the price falls too (who knos)........cheeeerz

Also they always charge a premium price for the first couple of months before coming down to a more realistic amont
Since putting Barome's ultimate fusion ICS on my sgs it is working really well, even GPS and navigon are usable
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Wait.
Definitely.
Ultimately.
Short time.
10 years only.
And buy Samsung Galaxy 95.
Any earlier model would be a crap.

I thought I read somewhere that it will not be out until Q3/Q4 this year...but if you ask me, I would certainly not wait...considering the current SGS (almost 2 years old?) is still able to run ICS decently, I really see no reason the upgrade the hardware, or in this case, to wait for newer hardware...

If you ask me I would definitely wait for S2 till it's price would fall or just wait some more time to buy S3 . i wouldn't go for S1 generation anymore

[Q] LG P990 any good?

This is a straight answer and for sure i get different opinions...
Well, i have a chance to buy a P990. But when i see a top phone with low prices i suspect something is very wrong with it... and low prices are not only for the phone i found, is to all P990, so the problem should be with all of them...
Can you please tell me if this is good or bad phone? Battery, wifi, calls, android version...
If i compare this phone to samsung galaxy ace or ace2 or w, which one to choose?
Thank you all.

You should thank the dev who made it much much more easier to do anything with this device "spyrosk"
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

the P990 is like heaven if you want to try custom roms
Even if you manage to brick it, just install a Stock-Rom with NVflash, and it is back alive in 95% of all brick-situations. The only way to destroy it is the hardware-side, like smacking it with a sledgehammer
Very large user base all over the world, and a wide bandwith of CustomRoms that run stable and nearly bugfree.
The official ICS-Stock-Rom is also running pretty good with it But if you ever used a custom rom, or tried one once, you never want to go back to stock on any device

When I ask about ICS is because I've seen some posts where users say that ICS update for this device comes with some bugs and that was worst than previous version.
But when I see all yours answers I believe that this is good phone and good choice.

welcome to optimus 2x world.
compare to my friend Sony xperia P :
performance is absolutely win... xperia P laggy.... optimus 2x smooth... best for gaming
display : well, xperia P is the winner. because "bright pixel" . but, the optimus 2x display is not bad. for me, its good enought
body : xperia P is win. smaller, thinner . never mind...
ram : xperia P. oh come on... ram expander is everywhere. who's need big ram XD
i choose optimus 2x because its performance and for gaming experience

Well... at the end i didn't bought the LG... found a good deal and decided for HTC ONE X.
Thank you all.

If you get a locked phone, regardless of brand or carrier, it is easy to unlock - just identify the original carrier it was locked to, get the IMEI, submit that info plus $8 to cellunlocker.net, then boot the phone with any other SIM inside, and enter the code
Good job on getting the One X, great buy and way better than the P990... I like my P990 but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone in 2013, even those on a budget, since the better models from late 2011/early 2012 would be at a decent price by then.

No... the phone is unlocked from factory
Was in different language but when i put my sim card he asked me if want to import my sim card configurations or something like that and... guess what? I get the phone in my language lololol
I've bought it very cheap for that reason and for some small scratches. The only ones that i have some scare are in the front of the camera... the worst case scenario is i have to change the phone case, but i don't think this scratches affect pictures as they are in side and not in the middle.
So far very happy with it :victory:

Hi,
I got this phone after i sold my 3GS.I really enjoyed the extra core and the hdmi out(i even sold my htpc as i didnt need it anymore!)
but missed the smoothness and attention to detail of the ios.
Having said that it took me 5 days of reading to jailbreak the iphone and around 10 minutes to root the 2x.
I kept it stock because life is short and i didnt want to loose warranty.
I agree with the friend who said its a galaxy s2 class phone.I was considering the s2 ass well but the lg had a better bang for a buck at the time.
IMHO there is nothing wrong with it except for the never ending progress of technology,its just not top dog anymore.

Planning to buy this phone, any advice?

Hi all,
I just sold my LG optimus 3d P920 and looking to buy my next smart phone. After a while this one seems to be a good choice with nice performance/price where I live. But still, I have some questions:
_ Given the bad reputation of LG for late (or sometimes, even no) software update, is this phone any different? What are the current android versions this device can run? Are most people happy or disappointed?
_ How is the community's support for the 4x HD? Are there many custom ROMs? Are rooting/ installing roms/ reverting back to stock roms easy? Are there good CyanogenMod ROMs/MIUI ROMs or other AOSP ROMs for this device?
_ How is the overall user experience towards this phone? Is it worthy to buy? Is it good to use casually in real life?
I've read some reviews about this phone but those asked above are real life experience related, so I have to ask you guys here. Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:

advice is don't buy this one, some of us still can not unlock bootloader which means you don't have tons of custom roms, for now.
and the memory is small, most big games running lag like ****.
i don't play games with my phone so i don't really care about this.

Well game lags have nothing to do with the amount of memory...its the kernel. With this said...the JB update via OTA will unlock the bootloader and with this custom Rom and kernels will come and the performance issues will be dealt with...this is the only problem with this phone...everything else is butter smooth...the screen is amazing ...the design and form factor are both great. Overall its a great phone with still untapped potential. Just wait till LG decided to effin update it, and the beast will be awoken.
Custom Roms and developer support will come with the official update...so it's just a matter of time. CyanogenMod as far as I know have been talked about ...but not until the phone is fully unlocked.
Rooting is available on ICS via the standard means but on the leaked JB beta but it's a bit dodgy.
So yeah great hardware, scrappy software support, but as soon as its updated and unlocked, I bet it's gonna be a beast of a phone.

Welcome to our forum .
I was an Optimus 3D user too .
About root and recovery we have both of them . And about Dev's they are little at the moment but we have dexter someone like xbsall or maybe better he can port recoveries , kernels , ROMs .
The bootloaders WAS locked but now with JB it's unlocked .
This device is new compared with P920 so little devs here until now .
For me I see it exellent and the best for its price .

My O4X have a lot dust under the screen The bootloader will be unlocked with the JB upgrade, so new roms are coming. The performance of the HW is good for every day tasks, I do not use it for games.

For a branded, advanced hardware and cheap device go for it.Just an heads up the camera has autofocus issues but works perfectly with other camera apps. Rest it is par with other action packed devices. But development of this phone is still in its toddler stage. So if you dare to wait like us then

Like people say: best screen, speed and hardware specs/battery for the price.
Only problem is lack of custom bootloader.. which isn't much of a problem for most users anyway. Camera isn't extremely good. But if you download another camera-app, that's easily fixed, so...
Another thing - you kind of don't actually want a phone to get updates every week. Lots of people on the internet make a huge buzz about how that is fantastic. But it's usually just proof that the entire program package is full of huge bloatware and bugs that need to be sorted out..

Just bought the phone, thanks a lot guys! Now to root and install recovery

If you want to play games, which is the main thing in buying a tegra 3 phone, you will get disappointed. Even temple run Oz lags on max graphs...

I owned this fone, and can share some of my experience with gaming on it. All of the gameploft games lag, som more some less, but you will find gems like batman, spiderman, Modern combat 3,4 lagy and unplayeble. I know that it's due to bad optimization from gameloft, but thats how it is. NFS most wanted is unplayeble, you can also see from the video above that it's running like 15-20 fps- it look smooth but its slow, just look at the time count how much one second takes. Asphalt 7 used to lag but with new update its fine. I used to play a lot of real racing 2 which playes buttery smooth, but real racing 3 lags badly. There is a workaround for real racing 3 to set low graphics and play smoothly.
Games developed for tegra plays fine with some added effects, but still on other devices you can add those ass well. All the other games are running fine, like those 2d and not so demandign 3d titles.
But sill for the price you'll get a great device witha perfect display, with removable battery and an sd card slot wthich a lot of devices from this category lack..But if you want to play demanding 3d games, especialy from gameploft, pay a few more bucks and get something else like s3 or nexus 4.

i have it for 270€ only... i replaced my Xperia S iwth this, because i think - tegra 3, great, gaming phone ... so another mistake...

I am too planning to buy this phone.. Hows the expericnce so far?
I guess, by now, lot of new ROMs are available?

Well some people have RIL problems, some people have GPS problems and its signal being reduced if headphones are plugged in. It's not a bad phone but some people have issues. As for roms you have some good cm based roms (and a very good official CM11) and we already have lollipop working good.
If I were you I'd choose a more recent phone like the Moto G or even a Nexus 5, unless you have a really really good deal.

Oh, there's a ton of ROMs (mostly KitKat at the time of writing, though more Lollipop ROMs are in the making).
It really depends on how willing you are to mod it and how much it costs by now. I would advice against buying it if you don't wanna mod it, there are phones with the same specs which are running stock L. Really, by now it depends on how much it costs. I wouldn't pay the €270 I paid for it now, I'm pretty sure there are better devices by now in that price range.

with the right custom rom and the right twiking this phone runs great, but..............................................
its all about the price, if you can get it for 100$ go ahead
if its more then this go for the one plus one, its only 300$ and it's absolutely a monster.
