(Disappointing!) US LG says 2X end up its life to 2.3.4

(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???

Android 5.0 Jellybean soon

So apparently Android 5 is coming in q2, before lg even gets ics out. I knew this would be the case with this phone, we might get ICS but that glory will only last a couple of months. I would have got the google phone if they just put a damn SD card in there.
Reminds me of this cartoon.

lol @ cartoon
Says it isn't for phones though. Also, original source is digitimes which is a bit pants.

Well to be fair google are pretty fast at rolling out these OS's, they release the sources to carriers ect to make their roms then by the time the carriers have rolled out an update google are talking of releasing a new version, they cant win really and it also says jellybean is mainly if not exclusively for tablets so use your brain and quit whining.

Jellybean is only for tablets! It's like honeycomb

Why would they make a seperate version for tablets since they brought out ICS to combine the smartphoneversion with the tabletversion?

Agree. Every second version can't be called something with sandwich. Would be kinda stupid.

As it seems to be a dual boot system Android/Chrome, it's certainly more convenient for tablets.. But too soon to say, June is in 4 months.

Its for tablets and smartphones, the new nexus will come out this summer with 5,0..

Yes its dualboot, it can be booted with the new Windows 8

and what other than nexus have official ICS? its not the phone but google ho is relising new OS every half of the year! Nexus S still dose not have ICS in canada so the nexus s is bad to?

Win8/Android dual boot would be really sweet!

Actually we don't really bother about when the official update arrives... Never looked back once a person flashes a custom rom

If we get the official update earlier, it is way more easy to build a fully functioning custom rom

will got no support soon

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.

How many updates to the firmware has there been since the phone was released? And where are the fix lists?

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
http://lgepr.lge.com/CommonEmailPopup.laf?pageFlag=Notice&sendId=2698*

LG need to much time, they will update.

Jelly Bean update plan

LG published their update plan for Jelly Bean.
http://www.lgnewsroom.co.kr/contents/12971
And yes... no word about 4X

If 4X don't get Jelly Bean, it will be my first and last LG phone

I really don't know what to do. Sell my LG? But for the money I'll get, there is no much alternative devices with similar features that I can buy now...
But stay for next 2-3 years with ICS on 4X is no option either. Hardware is ok, but maybe android 4.3 will have really cool features and we will never get it on our devices. It's really frustrating.

IF lg unlocks the bootloader for us, that will not be a problem.
IF lg keeps the bootloader locked and then shows a crappy update plan with no ICS/android 4.3 i will buy a new phone and give this to my friend or something....

Well it this is the case that we will not got JB or more updates, iam gonna get bored in some point... then a new phone or superduper htc HD2 back, and this one starts acting as a bar phone

The reputation of LG was already below zero after they leaved 2X die. Normally, nobody should buy their phones after they do same thing with 4X.. They really should think long time about their crappy marketing strategy.

This has to be an over site. I just got mine so i'm okay with it for now (that will last a couple weeks, lol).
With the Optimus LTE II getting it, it would make no since that we won't.
Just unlock the bootlaoder and XDA will take care of the rest.

LG 4x?

Various sites are reporting no update for the 4x . Anyone buying LG has to be mad.will have to sell mine and and get the nexus.
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium

Yeah, there's no mentioning of the 4X. And that's because it is a korean update plan. As far as I know there is no 4X in korea, so nothing to update. With the LTEII getting JB i'm pretty positive that the 4X will be the next one, at least in Europe.

LG sucks

LG will announce an update for our 4X in Europe because there's no 4Xs in Korea
Made possible by my sexy LG Optimus 4X HD (P880)

I can't see them announcing a 4X JB update in Europe before the new flagship Optimus G is released. They'll be eating into their own sales by promoting an older device.
Be patient, I'm sure the 4X is further down the schedule

deleted .

Imo i dont mind not getting JB on my 4x. See guys, ics will still be the majority of the android system and app support for it wouldnt disappear until quite sometime later.
And even by the time ics is really becoming obsolete how old do you think your phone will be? There will be new hardware by then or anyone on the general market wouldnt be even using the phone anymore by then.
I'm speaking as a general user who treats a phone more as a personalised, friendly thing more than using it for technology development. I think LG is really doing a good job. How my phone now (ics) is fine. I dont really care about not getting JB on this device.
Looking outside of developers circle, i think majority of smartphone users are still those that has little interest in catching up with technology, and has the same purpose of phone as me, using it as a connection, entertainment, tool.
My 2 cents.
Ps i had used samsung android phone before.
Edit. Enjoy more of your time now. Sometimes certain good things are already what you have now. Just forget about not getting the update for a while and take a brand new look into the beauty.

I currently have an HTC Desire S which I have rooted and booted over and over again, from GB all the way up to Jelly-Bean and back again. I have placed an order for my 4X HD and am collecting it on Saturday. I don't really care if it gets upgrades to JB or beyond - this time I want a fast, nice phone which I can just use - this is why I have gone for this rather than other phones. I will keep my DS for playing with and to get my kicks from when I feel the need to play around. I'm quite sure that LG will provide us with upgrades for a while, but as long as I have a fairly vanilla ICS I will be a happy bunny.

it will be updated .....wait and see

We all hope so. But until now we have only this info where 4X is not mentioned.
What has LG from half year old device with locked bootloader? Can someone explain this behavior? I mean, we all know that using unlock tool will void the warranty and only experienced users will do this. Why not let them do what they want?

This is LG Korea they do not have the Optimus 4X in their country, therefore completely ignore this. xD

"Old(er)" Smartphones and their chance on OmniROM ?

Dear Omni ROM team,
ever since waiting for my upgrade to Android 4.0.4 on my LG Optimus 3D, I was wondering, how the community would treat such devices in the near future.
Why is a 2011 smartphone already considered "old" and why not ? The Optimus 3D is no exception here and I hope I can start a discussion about this matter here.
On my Optimus 3D I can run (nearly) any app, without problems, without frameloss. I can take photos in a good quality, I can listen to mp3s, use it as flashlight, I can use youtube, facebook or use it as a navigation system. It tells me about the weather, I can recieve emails and sms and in the end I can use it as phone. Just like any other smartphone.
I have to admit, I dont have OctaCore, I dont have 4 GB of RAM and I cant use the android PS2 emulator above 12 fps. But that is okay to me. Maybe adding a lighter to smartphones would be a good idea. Or a knife, or a screwdriver...
Im not one of those "Hey, I got the newest Android Custom ROM on my device, how about you ?" guys. But for sure I dont want to be the last guy on earth using 4.0.4. Also, I wont buy a new device, just to have a newer android running.
For example, I maybe think of the day that I want to download an app and it will throw out an error ala "You need Android 4.4 to run this", while I know, that my device is still able to run that app / still powerfull enough to run that app.
I just recieved a LG G2 from my provider today and already decided to sell it on eBay. It wont recieve Android 4.3 and probably around march 2014, LG might introduce Android 4.4 for it. Might...sounds just like the story of the Optimus 3D to me. Sounds just like the story of most other smartphone brands out there.
Google claims, KitKat "was made" for devices with 512 MB RAM. Hey, I DO have that ! :highfive:
So why cant I use it ? :crying:
I know, it will never come. Neither from LG, nor from Cyanogen. Maybe as OmniROM ? I dont think so.
But why is that ? Is it "just" the huge variety of different smartphone models that makes development teams concentrate on the "newer" ones only ?
Are there just too many different smartphones around...too many to cover them all with custom roms ?
Why even include a function like OTA into smartphones, if a smartphone is already considered "old" after 1 year and beeing forgotten ?
It happened on the notebook/netbook/laptop market already. 10+ year old devices running on WIndows 7. Linux, Mac OSX and even Android (x86) made it into the PC sector.
Even the HTC Dream has a higher Andorid version then mine now. And it (nearly) works perfect.
I can see Optimus 3D development coming to a stop soon on xda. I try to understand why, but it is not easy.
What are your thoughts ?

•Lack of proper documentation .. (similar to galaxy nexus)
•Lack of a dedicated device maintainer(must for omni rom )
• that time developers now shifted to newer devices
• optimus3d was never a flagship ..hence never got any real attention..
•too heavy
•dedicated device owners who got lg g2 decided to sell g2 instead of o3d
