LG opt 2x and nexus s. PLease advice..

hi.. i'm from nexus s..
i'm really reconsidering to buy LG optimus 2x because i can trade it with LG O2x without paying a single extra cent...
I want to ask all your opinion.. Is it worth it to trade google direct support with LG opt 2x superior hardware ?
what are the plus and cons of LG o2x. ?
How is the devs support with LG O2X..
Thanks in advance

when the O2x gets a stable and usable CM7 and/or a really good 2.3.3 stock ROM, it's worth the hassle. until then, stay with your Nexus S.

Thanks, what are the known issue in Optimus 2x ? Nexus S itself is not stable, still rebooting sometimes in 2.3.4 and have blank screen sometimes..
hmm, i have 24 hours to decide whether i will trade in or not..
any other opinion ?

24hrs should be enough to read the forum

I had an i9023 for a bit, the P990 is better in my opinion (else I would still have the NS) stock ROM is terrible, but CM7 is not. It's still buggy as it's early days, but gets better with each nightly.

Have a look around this forum and you will see lol.
TBH I havent had any real issue with mine other than my sd card coming up as Unavailable and more battery drain/very hot where the sd card sits because of this issue. As long as you do a soft reset (holding PWR + VOL UP), it sorts it out.
I had a Desire before and have had this for about 3 weeks and couldnt be happier with it.. Sadly, it seems there are a lot of people having issues with the standard rom.

so both of u saying LG stock ROM is unstable and custom ROM is much better than stock ROM. And currently it seems like CM7 nightly is the best choice around.
Is installing CM7 will automatically upgrade O2X into gingerbread ? because as far as i know, CM7 is based on 2.3.3 (in nexus s i directly jump from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 after installing CM7)..

CM7 is currently 2.3.4 (GRJ22)

Well, you probably already bought your phone, I just want to say that I coming from a Nexus S to Optimus 2X and, IMO, was the best exchange I made. Nexus S is great, but o2x it's even better.

[Q]Worth buying now and rocking Cyanogenmod?

Hi guys,
Right now I have a Desire HD running Cyanogenmod and it is sweet but Optimus 2x is better hardware.
All I would like to know is Cyanogenmod stable enough on this phone to be a daily user yet?
Any show stopping bugs or things I should be aware of before I make a purchase?
I don't want to run the standard Lg rom, and the fact Cyanogen has one is 90% of the reason I want one. So should I buy now or wait a bit until there is a stable release?
Thanks for your opinions.

Why buy a new phone when u got a desire HD. Stick to the desire and wait untill the nexus 3 will be released.

I like it and would switch your DHD with an O2X, but its your call, not everyone likes this device.
Basically yes, CM7 is being used by a lot of people daily including me since build 0, and by arcee long before us all.

I would say yes, since what's what I bought my O2X to do

O2x easy go for it..............

waste of money to switch unless you are that desperate to play HD games

I tried many devices and if u r a gamer. Ur option is only atrix and o2x. I went with o2x because the ips display and at that time atrix was locked.
U can get one noelw and enjoy it. Then by year end go with iPhone 5 or nexus 3. If ur not a gamer then get the gs2.

I'm seriously considering the LG Optimus 2X as well. The prices of this phone recently came down in India. The only thing thats holding me back is the fact that it still sports Froyo as opposed to Gingerbread in similar speced devices. But I'm quite happy that Cyanogenmod has my back with a nightly for this phone
Should I make the switch from Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 (SLCD version) to the LG? The other phone that I'm considering is the Nexus S. How stable is the Cyanogenmod nightly?

I would say go for it. The nightlies are very stable, and the O2X is actually going to be included in the 7.1.0 RC. Using the O2X on CM7 #56 for a while now, and performance, battery life and almost everything is working like a whiz. I have not actually encountered any major problems, such as the famous phone freeze. The phone is very snappy as well, and I don't see any reason why you should not make the change. =D

Gracias for your reply! Just another question- which custom ROM is preferable? Cyanogenmod or Modaco? Also, when is CM 7.1.0 RC gonna come out?

I tried FR17 Fear edition before the CM nightlies, and I would say that CM, being CM, was much snappier than FR17, but it is entirely up to individual preference though. For the RC, cyanogen has personally posted on twitter that he was hoping for it to come out by this weekend, but no promises though.

One more (I know I'm asking too many...I apologize ) How does the O2X rate against the HTC Incredible S? Will the CM ROM+LG O2X perform better than the HTC ones? I do realize that HTC phones are single core...but have more RAM than the O2X.

o2x has a tegra 2 mate. In day to day usage there will be little to no difference but the o2x will destroy games.
Personally I've decided to wait until Christmas as further research has led me to believe that there isn't a great deal of benefit from being on dual cores at this stage. There is little to none apps which utilize them properly.

Hmm... It really depends on what you want with the phone. If its for gaming, then the O2X wins the Incredible S hands down due to Tegra. However, for daily normal tasks, both might be equally fast(not sure about this, haven't tried an Incredible S yet), as Android still does not fully support multi-threaded tasks, making the O2X's dual cores not being fully utilized. However, I think that in the near future, once dual-core support comes out in probably Ice Cream Sandwich, the difference between these two phones will be greater. About RAM, although the HTCs have more RAM, the O2X already has enough RAM as it is for about anything. So I don't really see why the bigger RAM will really matter.

Cool, thanks cha0sh3r0 & dr.m0x I'm not a gamer but a business user of Androids. So gaming performance is not a criteria for me. The reasons for going in for O2X are quite a few.
1. Its around 2000 Rs (45 USD) cheaper than the Incredible S.
2. It has Cyanogenmod support...Incredible S has a locked bootloader (which may change)
3. O2X has dual-core which future proofs me when Ice Cream Sandwich comes out...either as an official LG or Cyanogenmod release.
I'm done with Samsungs and their cheap plastic builds which I really hate. HTC phones seem to have some weird "death grip" issues. LG O2X seems like a good bet for me

No prob dude

I have more faith in the community to provide help and support as opposed to a company, thats why I'm glad that Cyanogen is around
Besides, being an exclusive Linux user (yes, even at work)...hacking and modding comes easy to me

Most of the comments here are spot on. But remember CM7 doesnt support BlueTooth and A2SD. That is a basic function and the only reason many of us use Madacos. Including me

why do you need a2sd there is plent of room for apps especially if your not a gamer, I only worried about that on my desire that had 100mb

hi, about to buy an optimus 2x, any suggestions?

just broke my galaxy s for the third time, so i think its time to move on. i have to decide to move to an optimus 2x, or an atrix. what u guys think? From what i saw, optimus have a better camera, what means a lot for me, lg have the best cellphone cameras imo. atrix have what it seens a little more speed and more space (16gb)
what do you guys suggest me?

I would not but a LG ever again. Imho Sony camera is much better.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium

sony camera is cool too, but locked bootloader and still no dual core phone (or am i late?)

o2x imo is better than the atrix, the atrix has more memory so if that's what your after then get that, i love the design and shape and size of my o2x and if it wasn't for the ****ty lg support and nvidia ****ing with us by holding back vital drivers needed for ICS dev then this phone would be the best iv ever had.
The camera is pretty great iv never seen the atrix camera so cant compare tho.
The benchmarks tests always seem to show the o2x to be ahead of the atrix even tho they both have a tegra 2 chipset.
But with the customs roms this phone is pretty decent, its fast responsive, get a custom home screen and it will be smooth as you can imagine, the lg home screen is rather choppy but i use it because i like the way you can organize apps and games into separate category rather than just throwing them together into a big mess if you can do that with adw or go launcher then someone please tell me how so i can switch.
I only paid £200 for my o2x brand new so i cant complain too much, defo worth it compared to the 400-500 they are asking for that overpriced crap called the sgs2, decent phone.... ****ty price tag, no phone is worth that much.

In Australia there are close to no people using Optimus 2xes due to no one selling them on plans/contracts. Every second person has a galaxy s2 though so they can't be that bad.
I would lean towards avoiding the atrix due to the locked bootloader. Apparently there's a 50% chance of bricking it.

If you can get it for £300 or less this is an amasing phone with cyangemod on it. Nvidias playing ball now so ics will be brill on here. Theres even rumours that yhe cm team have a alpha build of ics all features working minus camera. Its looking rosey and bright for this phone. I love it plays everything i throw at it, games, vids and music

It's quite possible that they sent RC what he needed, he's been asking them since day one, and is a serious coder, rather than the 'cook' type 'dev'.
I would say get one, the stock GB is apparently much improved over froyo, and CyanogenMod is just great, that's the reason I bought mine in the first place.
If I hadn't have managed to get a freebie, I'd keep mine.

For its money LG O2X is the best phone.

Please, don't buy that phone!
It's have the worst supported in the WORLD.
Nvidia and LG = S**T
I sell my phone, and Im really happy with that choice.
And I don't wanna see that phone again.
The best choice for you is the HTC, more beautiful and intuitive homescreen, custom roms, etc...
And forget about the Galaxy S2, this only good because the Super Amoled, and Camera, nothing more...

Yes you should buy it, looks great and does what its supposed to in no time. Got mine today and it came with Gingerbread out the box.

gr8 phone..
dude its a lovely phone.. go for it.. with stock gingerbread, its awesome no more stupid issues..

the htc high end smartphones not near as fast like the o2x or the sgs2, the hardware component quality is low, if htc not change that it will be died. maybe the rom is good but it just candy.. if you want a phone what is broken often go ahead and buy a htc. i had many htc, i never ever want again.
sgs2 it will be a good choice if isn't very overpriced. by the way the samsung company almost act like the apple, soon booth company will be in the android users blacklist. o2x is a good choice but the stock lg rom is a crap, you need to flash one of the custom roms!

OPTIMUS 2X or ARC S?

guys this is my last post. please give oppinion.
do you guys recommend o2x instead of xperia arc s? well i have my o2x and im really happy with this. but my brother is thinking twice if he's going on arc s or our o2x.
i myself recommend o2x with cm7 temasek kang and vadonka kernel.

I had experia x2 for a couple of months and i will never buy a smartphone from sony agen. I am not very happy with my o2x but i've learned to like it after tryin almost every custom rom avalable. Now nunning on amno's twenty seven rom. So far best stable rom i have tryed. If he likes trying out new roms go for o2x.

thanks man! my first super expensive phone was xperia x1, i got it right after it was released and im so very very disappointed after 2 months. i will convince him to get o2x and i will share him what i know.

I have Arc and O2X. At this moment the O2X pleases me more... But they are both great phones. The LG is faster...

my wife use arc s while i'm using in o2x, here is some of my view about both product :
1. o2x run applicaton much faster
2. o2x has bigger storage
3. arc s very light weight
4. arc s very good camera(tested by myself in low light, arc s is really good)
5. arc s gives more heat when you use it compared with o2x, reason because arc s more thin, usually thin device will generate more heat
6/ arc s has locked bootloader, when you unlock you lose some feature, when you try to relock, those feature still missing, in you use unofficial way, you don't lose those feature, but you can't relock. compared with o2x, just smartflash, your phone will get like as stock without a problem
latest, it is up to you to pick what you want...

Agree the 2X is a great phone to mod. If you want a stabile stock phone that "always works " then buy the sony. But the custom rom are getting really good on the X2!!!

But if I were your brother I'd get an O2x or I'd wait for the next generation phones

Hhello men. I have the Optimus 2x but i am not satisfied with him. i loose the hetwork signal very often with various rooms. My phone lose it i hope not forever the conectivity with pc. When i connect him with the cable to pc i don`t have connection. I need to connect my o2x in a wireless mode with my phopne explorer. I admit is a very cheap phone and very fast but i have problems with him. Good luck.

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.
