LG O2X Update just a few days away

According to a newspage in Germany an update is only a few days away. They don‘t know if it is the GB update or just another Froyo update but it should be the GB update because of current update of G2X.

Was hoping for updated tegra drivers or something

Yeah, T-mo G2x and Moto Atrix already got GB, so ours shouldn't be far away

According to this its not going to arrive in the UK until August / september.

I wouldnt hold out much hope, stick with Cyangenmod, those guys should be paid by LG to sort out the sh#'t software they are putting on the x2.

Useless unless drivers updated too

No because LG sucks and the community provides by far better support

can only hope i talked to a rep up here in canada and they said the update is in august ill call lg canada and see if they say anything about when the update should be here but i am hoping since wind up here is tmob's canadian counterpart that we should get it really soon my last phone was the galaxy s vibrant tmobile version

totally agree

I loved one of todays comments at the end of that article
They stated they had contacted LG about the Update mentioned and were told there is no exact date but it should be out within 2 weeks
There is that magic timeframe of 2 weeks again. Are they living in the world of 24 and Jack Bauer?, their weeks seem to drag on for months
I Especially loved the statement made by them on the Reghardware article
'The reason for the long roll out? It's so that "Optimus customers will not experience the types of bugs found in smartphones recently upgraded to Android 2.3", apparently'
Why would we be worried about that? we've put up with enough bugs with the Optimus and Android 2.2

Well atleast they have a timeframe cause up here the wind mobile rep told me august and the lg canada rep said no you don't need an update its a new phone and the american lg rep told me it should be soon since they got their update for tmobile talk about bloody confusing

[HOT!] Public Petition: LG Update our Optimus 2x

In Brazil we have a public petition asking to LG agility on this. Ice Cream Sandwich will be released next month and we can't get gingerbread yet:
The original link (in portuguese/br) is:
http://www.peticaopublica.com.br/PeticaoVer.aspx?pi=LGO2X
Citizens undersigned, here by request comes, a position on the software update from mobile phone model LG P990 OPTIMUS 2X, since the LG device sells in Brazil as the "largest processing power in the world", and in fact, it's extremely outdated, does not match the expectations of buyers.
Around the world LG is delaying all the deadlines for update our phones, disregarding the consumers.
It's unacceptable that our smartphones dont run the system 2.3, since this same hardware is already running newer S.O on T-Mobile U.S. version - LG G2X since july/2011.
We would, at least have a real date, since we are customers of the brand, and we was buying the phone, the update was a decisive factor. We trust on the responsibility of the LGE in Brazil, to provide some kind of information to its Brazilian customers. ​
If you want to help too, sign the petition and join us (translated to english):

if not this petitions are usless

Can totally agree about how the LG O2x has hardware that deserves the latest build but do think we expect too much from LG since carrier related too.. many years ago there would be hardly any updates on WM yet the community pushed with leaked builds and the users got to get fresh builds with most bugs solved by chefs etc... my point being take a look @ class action taken over the 3D drivers issues with Kaiser it really gets no where I'm sure LG will come up with the goods its just a waiting game in the meantime flash user created builds and set your phone up too rock!

i hope its work bro...

I dont really care. We have topogigi 1.7, GR3 and CM7. Surely these are better than what LG will bring to us.
I don´t want any official gingerbread anymore. Now I want ICS!
If LG is going to update to ICS I dont know, but I will jump to CM8, even without a2dp and fm radio.

hope so too.

Signed all The problem is that i want FM radio, A2DP, HDMI, and i also want USB host, because tegra 2 supports it. Only LG can give us theese features fully working.
P.s. Sorry for my very bad English.

Why not ditch GB and go directly to ICS?

Patience... It's coming. While I share your anticipation, I figure that it will be worth the wait since the boys here will take it and run with it. Just like the other roms that have been released so far, it's definitely been worth waiting for.

Yea I'm trying to be patient about it. When I had my droid 2 I was being patient and it never happened. So my patience is running thin. Haha

This reminds me of when I had my HTC eris. It seemed to take forever for 2.1 to come out for it! Mainly because the sense UI had to be completely updated to be compatible. Not sure what the delay is in this case, but I'm sure it will be worth it.

Take most rumor dates and add 4 to 6 weeks to them with VZW. I do not expect to see GB much before January or February which I find pointless as ICS could just as easily be configured for the Revo...

Yes and no... Esteem built for MPCS and Revo for VZW. Verizon does not necessarily have, want, or need to push GB to this phone. I honestly expect to see the Revo to hit EOL list soon. [sarcasm] It is nearly 6 months old [/sarcasm]

Total speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if the reason for the delay
is so that they can find as many ways as possible to lock it down from being rooted. Considering VZW is in the business of CONTROLLING what you can and cannot do (unless you pay then more) with your open source based smart phone. I wouldn't put this past them. :-/

Might also be that they are waiting until there is a release of the Revo 2 with stock GB (if the rumors are correct) and they dont want people to have reasons not to upgrade to a new product.
I am on MPCS and had the Ascend with stock 2.1 and even though there were rumors of a 2.2 update, it did not happen until after the Ascend 2 came out with 2.2 stock.
Dunno, just a thought....still hope it comes soon for all the Revo people in waiting.

I don't know about them holding the update until the revo 2 comes out... There's a lot of evidence telling us its coming soon like the posts on the LG site and the picture saying the revo is updateable to 2.3... But you could be right nobody really knows...

If he works at a store... they are generally last to know anything.
I do not really care anymore at this point. I have decided to wait for February, upgrade one of my other lines and switch to the nexus prime. By February the prime should be out, and updated with fixes and running smooth. It also gives devs sometime to tweak and fiddle. I will then sell my revo.

I love my Android and it's customizing abilities, so don't get me wrong on this statement, but WP7 has been starting to catch my interest. Of course, I have at least another year before I have to think about upgrading, but since I am a MS programmer, the thought of owning one intrigues me.
I have been with Android for years, but the more I read about the troubles developers have with this platform, the less I believe it will ever be a unified architecture. The problem is that they are developing on a Linux base with fragmented (if not non-existent) standards, with several "one off" branches.
What this means for the gaming industry and high end graphics capabilities is that this platform has a strong likelihood of never reaching it's full hardware potential. Reading comments from large institutions like Electronic Arts on the difficulty in developing for the platform and seeing the Android market further sink into mini-walled gardens due to "perceived" compatibility issues, my hopes for this platform are slowly starting to come into question.
That's unfortunate, because I love the idea, I love the freedom, and I think I would hate living in a design chosen for me, but at the end of the day, it's going to be the quality of apps, and how well the device runs with the operating system, as well as the compatibility of apps that's going to make a difference.
Maybe my mind will change over the next year or so with the release of ICS (hate that name), but right now, I don't have much hope of seeing this OS going in a direction any different than the current state of Linux.
It's functional, it's powerful, but I want EVERYTHING Android has the capability of doing, not just the bits and pieces they deem worthy of my branded device. My video chip is every bit as powerful as the competing OS devices, so I want to actual see the potential realized!
The Amazon store, the NVidia store, the restrictions with the Market, it's all contributing to putting gated communities up around every subsection of Android. Honestly, I grow tired of it...

Not sure if anyone caught this news back in the spring or remembers... but the update is more than likely coming. Google is "encouraging" manufacturers to keep their phones up to date for 18 months after release. LG and Verizon are supposedly on board. Course, this doesn't mean much, but it is hope.
http://androinica.com/2011/05/android-updates-for-18-months/

I agree with majorpay. So much potential yet so much pussyfooting around in an attempt to squeeze money out of people. I mean that's the whole point of marketing but I think its kind of ridiculous that when an update comes out everyone running the os has no real guarantee of getting it. And if they did promise it. They don't have to promise when. Android is a tank of an os. Wish we could have the current version when its available and not have to wait till our carrier or manufacturer is ready to release it.

what happens first Revo getting GB or ICS launching?
then how long before people start wanting ICS.
Me i have 1 upgrade on my account left and just waiting for either the Prime and or see whats coming out early next yer.
don't take this the wrong way i LOVE the Rev over any other phone on verizon right now BUT it seems like LG is holding back..this phone should have launched with GB there was no reason for it not to. now it sounds like there waiting for the Revo 2 to launch before updating it.
rant done for now

don't feel bad. I was at an ATT store with a friend and was checking out the HD7s and was highly impressed with it. It was super smooth and fast, had decent specs. Overall a really nice phone. If Verizon had a comparable phone (trophy is not near the level of the hd7s) I would have considered it.

I would *suspect* WP7 is going to start bringing REAL phones to the table within the next year or so (they kind of have to if they want to stay in the game). It will be interesting to see what impact on those of us in the Android world it will have. Unless Android can unify their architecture and make dev friendly APIs and standards, they are going to lose this game as quickly as they started winning it. On that note, I'll never purchase an Apple. Put a gun to my head, and it's still likely not going to happen.
Another interesting point you make there, that I've never understood, is that Verizon, one of the largest providers in the nation, always seems to be the last to get the greatest hardware.

The radio, or lack of, is what keeps me from staying put on CM7...

It is possible to promise always, but doesn't mean to carry out.
Were frightened of the public!

I would rather believe soon or later LG will close down their smartphone branch, like HP's webOS.

I'll believe them when I'll get GB on my phone.

This is facebook bulsh..s I think that sameone who post in this "social network" don't know what is ICS.

That's really great! I hope for 4.0.

actually, LG Indonesia also confirmed ICS for O2X.
Indonesia is huge market for LG Phones, so their info is trustworthy.
but the question is, WHEN?
we just received GB in Nov.
so ICS, next year? on 12-12-2012 lol.

It would sure be a good start of a comeback if they manage to deliver ICS without too many delays.

I'd give LG an other chance, when they try to make the updates faster.

Yeah, we gonna wait more 50years with GB until we get the ICS update...

This is truly amazing news.

[INFO] Optimus serie official Gingerbread update

LG ANNOUNCEMENT about Gingerbread update for Optimus serie
LG would like to express its sincere thanks to all of the Optimus Series owners who have been waiting patiently for the Android 2.3 Gingerbread upgrade. We are excited by the high level of product interest that LG Optimus Series owners have shown, and we are taking all possible measures to offer a smooth OS upgrade in a timely manner.
The three premium smartphones of the Optimus Series will be upgraded first, as outlined below, followed by a global rollout thereafter.
LG Optimus 2X: Now available (as of 1st November, 2011) for open models in Europe
LG Optimus 3D: Week commencing November 21st for open models in Europe
LG Optimus Black: Week commencing November 28th for open models in Europe
The exact timing of the upgrades in each market may vary because of the different requirements in each country with respect to domestic operators and models. Please contact local service representatives to check the specific upgrade schedule in your market.
Again, LG greatly appreciates the support and feedback that customers have given during the upgrade delay, and we will do our utmost to continually provide better service in the future.
Thank you very much.

Again, can't trust these LG people. No matter whatever happens, it's for sure that we wont get this thing.

Just call/email local LG support, and ask about update, because GT540 is in OPTIMUS serie. If say, no, we dont get official 2.3, ask why LG lie in press announcement. Please reply.

Hope out phone also will get this update
Edit : Mail Sent to LG Customer Care Post here once i get reply

Some folks here at XDA had mailed LG people a few days back regarding GB update. But neither of the replies were positive. Never mind, I've mailed them now, waiting for a reply.

Our phones should have been updated like a year ago with 2.3 and with .37 kernel, but LG Support is a piece of junk. I like LG phones but they f*ck their own reputation by doing this. (or by not doing anything.)

I emailed LG about 2 weeks ago, and you can guess the answer...
I think the ultimate solution is that all of us MUST become HARDCORE devs, so we can maintain our phones easily

i hope they update the kernel of our phone for better roms

I'm 100% sure, we wont receive update to 2.3
Theres GT540 and theres Optimus line, even if our phone called GT540 Optimus, i dosnt belong to Real optimus line, like GW620.
According to LG our phone specs are too low to even support Froyo.

According to LG, Optimus serie get Gingerbread update. GT540 is in that.

You people don't get the picture, do you? First off, yes, GT540 is part of the Optimus line - no problem there. However, in what universe does that mean LG's *bound* to update ALL the devices in the Optimus line? The GT540 is practically ancient with the amount of RAM it has, and we're talking about an operating system that has a requirement (in LG's words) of 1Ghz processor frequency(I strongly disagree). Read here. OK, yes, we've seen GB running on our platform fine and speedy, no argument there. But wait, there's more, and I'm probably saying this for the millionth time: LG would have hardly any or no profit from updating the GT540. This would make it buyable, and competitive on the market again,but wait.. see, the GT540 is a cheap handset, and updating it, that's right, would cost money. Also, shipping new units with GB... also costs money, and all that for what - a cheap(okay, "hardly profitable") phone that can also steal attention away from other handsets in the Optimus line(and not only). LG has already filled Swift's niche with the new Optimus Net, won't be such a good idea to draw attention from that now, right? The same goes for the Optimus Black, Optimus 3D, etc. It's simple when you think about it, so don't get all too excited y'all.

And? Your picture say, no optimus line GB update. New announce say, Optimus line GB update...

LG never released updates. This is a fact. Lg and Google promised to give updates for devices which good hardware.these are the optimus speed and black and 3d. Gt540 has bad hardware and LG wants to update the whole series of optimus devices? I don't believe that. But if they really do it would give us new dimensions of modding especially a new full working kernel is needed.. Let's hope even if its nearly impossible to believe
Sent from my GT540

Im not so optimistic as you guys, im more like realistic about this whole thing... Just wait for response from costumer service, you will see it by yourself guys :/
This has been talked about like thausand times... Service guys said like million times, they will never gonna update gt540 to froyo or gb, due to its hardware limitations and becouse the phone is out of market long ago..
And im with GT540 pretty much from the very start... July 2010, i watched as the phone developing progressed, been on modaco forums when they opened thread about our phona was one of the first contributors named 'ilovelg' i think i made whole reference thread about rom flashing with kdz
By the way only High end devices were listed, too bad tho, couse most similar to our hardware phone LG Optimus P500 have Gingerbread for quite a long time already And our oldy dont even have a froyo, and never will, nor Gingerbread

Ok I have said this before and I don't mind getting banned for valgur language. If you check the LG site the gt540 can no longer be found there even in the optimus seris and older phones like cookie are still there(tells u something) next some time before September I sent my phone in for Warrenty cus the screen broke. When I collected the phone and asked them if they still sold extra battery's they said no as they stopped making parts for my phone.(tells u something again) well I am lucky I managed tobuy one in the end at the LG HQ in Singapore and they said it'd was the last one.... so u know what ?? F*Ck LG f*ck LG devs f*ck the company_|_ I'll never buy from them again
Next stop HTC when I need a new phone

I'm agree with nutterbg, there is no significant advantage for LQ by updating our device.
LQ will gain more profit if GT540 users retire their phones and buy the new 'LG' ones. The same thing or at least close is happened to Samsung Galaxy Spica. Samsung released new models instead of providing further updates for Spica.
