(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???

I wanner see it before i believe it and even then. I will properly already have cm9 ics 4.0.5 on my O2X and i am pretty sure. The LG version will be like 4.0.0/4.0.1 and
Then i properly give a Flying C**p about. The LG version

They have lied through more official means. ;p
The radio, or lack of, is what keeps me from staying put on CM7...
i want to see official announcment, not some kind of fb post.
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.
Did LG already mention Jelly Bean for the 4X somewhere? I just assume, that they'll offer it ... it'd be very weird not to on such a new phone and with the big improvements of Jelly Bean.
Our 4X needs unlocked bootloader, we'll have full working CM10 then
Heard somewhere LG phones will get JB at the beginning of 2013...
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
If not there is always CM10, I'm stoked about getting that loaded on my phone
No official JB for this phone, LG`s reputation will surely drop down to zero.
Let`s hope they won`t make the same mistake.
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
i was told by a LG Rep that it could get Jelly Bean, but who knows maybe if CM 10 is on the phone it might be more stable

looking professionally on their stocks, their display division already lost 60% of their stock value comparing about 12-14 months back, so currently LG is no good investiment at all.
but on the topic of development, LG decided to put alot more effort into licencing security and abuse, so upgrading the o4x platform is a little bit more work probably comparing to other vendors which looks a little more western on their opensource and openminded politics.
remember that LG comes from a society where dupe's are all around and copyrights on copycats are important piece of their product. so their social thinking is far from openminded since their daily spirit in a sharing community is totally black and filled with copycat clones and people stealing other developers work and companies selling cheap fake models.
LG got too much asian culture where some of the others like samsung got more western like appreciation, although being 100% Korean

We will get another small 4.0.3 update (V10e) and later in Q4 JB.
They should start offering a possibility of unlocking the bootloader. Even Motorola now offers a way to unlock on their website now!

Is the message, that o4x will get JB in Q4 trustful? I didnt really find anything on internet that would confirm it.
I'm seriously thinking about buying o4x, I love design, UI and stuff, but I'm scared of bad support.. Should I buy it?

Not that bothered about JB to be honest. I rarely keep a phone longer than a year, so I'll be onto JB (or newer) on some other device before too long.
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

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.

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.
So...I just managed to order a new international o2x for $180 from amazon. Am I going to have issues with rooting and roms because it's international? It seems okay from what I see, but I just wanted to be sure after sorting through info. Sorry if i'm asking an idiotic question, i'm new to smartphones and I tried researching as much as I could.
I ended up settling on this over the atrix 4g due to motorola's support, even though I regret the RAM difference and dislike that o2x has a bit of a stereo crosstalk issue.

hurry up and go in to the development thread, there you will find all your answers. Make sure you know, what type O2X you have, you most probably have the P999, made for the north american market.
Good luck, the fun starts now

the US version is P999

international version is P990
In the future, if you want to know if any android phone will have rooting issues or ROM install issues, don't look at whether it's international or not.
The key word is "bootloader." Specifically, its lock status (yes/no, and if yes, does the manufacturer allow it to be user-unlocked?)
