LG faces class action lawsuit over Optimus 2X

looks like LGs getting what they deserve
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_faces_class_action_lawsuit_over_optimus_2x_power_issues-news-2906.php

heheheh
let's see what will be now

lol people are so stupid sometimes,

Wow - i wonder if the guy suing sent his phone back for a replacement as would have been instructed by support, or perhaps read forums for a possible fix, the the avg joe (90% of ppl) dosen't have the knowledge, understanding nor patience and doesn't want to waist time doing such things.
Every electronic device has issues and ppl are suing every manufacturer, companies and everything in sight these days, madness... tho on the up side it does force companies to rethink their manufacturing processes and strategies only helping to give us ever better products.
-smc

I was just going to post this.
From what I've read, the phone's problems nearly all lie with its software. Only the backlight bleeding issue is a hardware issue, everything else, like the random freezes and resets, is a software issue. Correct?
So I'm hoping my O2X gets to my tomorrow or Friday, and that CM7 will make it a much better device!

omfg, i have no words for this

Although the guy has some point, LG > (one person, or a group of buyers). i believe that this will have no further solution other than a full refund to the costumer, tops.

would be nice to get a refund, and keep the phone :?

How many O2X owners are unhappy? How many of those are still running stock?

No clue? My LG is running quite fine with CM7...

well imo, they deserved it, just hope that they will finally realize that you cant sell and just leave the customers after getting their money, they should have released the updates/fixes sooner

There we go, LG just needed a little pressure, now G2X has GB

[Q] Optimus 2X or 3D?

Hi,
LG gives me the possibility to change my Optimus 2X to a O3D for free.
Would you do this or would you stay at the 2X?

What? How?? :O :O

The CPU or SoC is more efficient than Tegra2 and It has the industries best GPU I think, I'd take it.

In Germany, LG gives this possibility to all customers, if you ask them. They do it because they don't know, when GB will be released for the 2X.
But it's only for Germany, I don't know, if LG makes this in other countries, too. Maybe you should ask LG.
I'm waiting for the reply from LG and in a few days, I'll send my 2X to LG, if nothing goes wrong.

I am very skeptical about that!!
They won't even give us a brand new device as a replacement here! So, I don't see why they would give us a BRAND NEW AND MORE EXPENSIVE device as a replacement! :/
But then, no harm trying..
Will ask 'em.

I was offered this here in the UK but declined as the O3D is chunkier and heavier and I prefer the O2x hardware. Now running GR4 and very happy with it. Not a single bsod or freeze so far and very snappy response

Strange they would change your phone due to not having Gingerbread, as the replacement also doesn't have Gingerbread.
If CM builds were further along, I'd probably consider it.

But the O3D has nearly the same hardware than the Nexus Prime, so it'll be one of the first CM9 smartphones.

I wish I could ask them but the danish customer support site is down for maintenance :/

Kick up a fuss, contact Warren Lewis who is the LG Mobile UK head and be a pain in the ass. I'll PM you contact details of one of their Service Managers. She was the one who offered me the swap. My worry is that you might end up with a refurb O3D though...

Camera, sound etc. should be the same (except display and some other minor things), too. One of the CM devs said, the O3D will be one of the first CM9 devices because of that.

Should i buy this phone: g2 vs nexus s

Hello fellow xda members, im visiting from the p500 section, and I'm in the market for a new phone. So i have the choice Between this and the nexus s. Can you all. Demystify the issues I've heard? The hdmi out is really selling me, but people tell me about various issues. So can yall help me?
Thanks!
Sent from my P-509 using tapatalk

well to be honest this device has had a fair share of problems i luckily didnt face any of them from my experience it beats nexus s in all ways, processor camera hdmi speed display built quality, all aspects are better. There are a few thing though u should look before getting this device if u get a used one from the market
1- Put on a black wallpaper or image and see the corners for lcd bleeding
2- Load couple of system apps like camera and stuff see if it looses responsiveness or restarts, finally look closely at lcd if there are dead pixels if it passes those test ill buy the g2x no doubt about it

I know this thread is old but...
Just have to say... If you didn't get it, I bet you wish you did Nexus S is first phone after gn to get ics! This phone is the ISH! It is now clear why google chose this phone over the g2- the gpu still beast enough to handle ICS, while none of the other phones (except gs) of the time(not event g2) can compete. I will never buy anything but Nexus.
Nexus FTW!

Bye bye!

Well guys it`s been a pleasure to spend a lot of time in my life beside all of you, hoping that LG will support their phones better, but that time has and end and this is it. I`ve sold my OB and bought a Desire HD instead. I was tired hoping that something will eventually happen`...
Good luck in the future and very much custom stable ROMs!

Desire HD has a locked bootloader, has it?

allready unlocked

I'm due to a new phone and I need to choose between Desire hd or Optimus black.
Was thinking of the hd but I've read about the small battery, poor GPS performance, camera issues, etc. The weight is 175gr.
On the other side the OB just got Gingerbread, is smaller, has IPS screen. CM7 support for it is also great.
What made you choose the HD over OB?
Thanks!

well, for me...this kind of phone shouldn`t last for more than a day. Desire HD delivers me a fully working day with 3g data always on with sync over weather and Gmail, and wi-fi when possible and sometimes using hands free bluetooth.
the gps it`s fast I don`t know where did you hear that is poor.
what made me choose HTC instead LG is:
1. HTC sense....is much much much more user friendly than LG UI 2.0 (wich Optimus Black comes with)
2. I don`t really trust Ti OMAP processors, Qualcomm instead gets over clocked at 1.6 ghz with no harm at all.
3. I have a Smart TV and the DLNA works much better instead LG.
4. Bigger screen, metal hard case (i really like the phone to be heavier) instead of crap plastic, truly Gorilla Glass Display, 8mgx camera with dual led flashlight wich is not bad at all I`ve managed some awsome photos with it, 768 mb RAM instead of 512 wich makes the device much more fluid (never crumbles).
5. LG stand for Lie Good, I`ve tried the Wi-Fi direct function with other phones and never managed to really send a file......crap.
6. Very poor video recording on LG 5 mgpx camera...
I hope I made some good arguments.
If I were you...I`d buy Desire HD for sure! But the choise is yours. I can only hope will make the right one take care dude

ok then, just give us your money, so we can buy desire HD for sure.

How about the display?
Which do you think has the much better display? Let's just disregard the brightness because we all know the Optimus Black has the brightest. Is there a big difference of the display basing that Desire HD has 217ppi and the Optimus Black has 233ppi? Which one has the clearest display? I like clear and vivid display cause I alsways want to watch videos and streaming videos online.

I like the display on the Desire HD better. Much more vivid colors from my point of view. you really can`t see the difference from 233 to 217 dpi.

well, i would, if i had money....I was lucky to find a guy that wanted really bad an Optimus black for his girlfrind and I simply trade my OB for his Desire HD... as simply as that. so no money involved

Thanks, everyone!
After all, when the Milestone came out, the battery could barely last 10h, with CM7 I can squeeze 2-3 days a year after I got it.
I'm getting the Desire HD tomorrow

Buyer needs advice

Hi guys, I think there is quite an unbelievable offer for Austria Hutchinson users. Basically you get this phone for 69€ on a 20€ x 24 months contract. With the contract you get also 1000 minutes 1000 SMS and Internet unlimited so should be fine. Before I saw that I thought of sticking to my galaxy s for a while.
Now that said I would love to take it as long as the offer lasts, but I am concerned about 3 things:
a) i am a custom Rom user since 2 years. Never been on stock again. And I looooooove cyanogenmod! Do you think there will be custom roms for this?
b) the camera quality. While I'm not too much concerned about the video quality, I use my phone as a compact camera outside to take pictures. So how bad is it in your opinion? And do you think will it improve with upcoming updates?
c) you know something about the possibility of unlocking this phone?
I guess probably I'm asking too much but maybe someone knows better.
Thanks in advance!

It's only an okay camera, there's better, the Galaxy 3 has a better one for instance, not by that much, but clearly. No idea if this is a hardware limitation, but I'd guess so.

No idea ... but I guess with root you should be able to do more or less anything,e specially, once CWM etc are there? But I'm no pro.

We have root and CWM now, devs are working on CM10 and 4.0.4 Sense 4.1, so soon we'll have great ROMs :laugh:
And i think we'll have unlocked bootloader soon too.

Hey guys,
This phone looks really cool. I was thinking of buying this phone. I want a phone that can get rooted and a lot of ROMs. Do u think Im in the right place?
I have read a lot of reviews and from what I can gather is that this phone is a tad better than the One X and a loses the battle just barely vs the GS3.
What do you guys think? What are the pros and cons of this phone?
Also which is better looking? The white or black model?
Thanks in advance guys!

You shall like the white one. Also, your favorite food is grilled chicken, and you'll only drink root beer. Also, move to Mumbai, which is your favorite city from now on. Any other totally personal decisions you can't make I'm happy to answer, too.

Hey thanks dude!
I was asking because I've never owned anything but Motorola Androids and they have locked bootloaders. Ive never seen this phone in person and the reviews online only show the white one, so I asked here for this awesome community's opinion...
Also I like grilled chicken but prefer steak. Hate root beer, and if I lived anywhere it would be 'MERICA. Ill be sure to visit Mumbai sometime though maybe we can have a beer together.

Is LG policy still suck and unreliable? Since the older models like O2X said to not get ICS!
Yesterday I saw it in the market ,and it has the same price as HOX , I saw some comparison which end by no winner, yet the HOX really has a good support by both the company & xda community ,so from a fear comparison aspect ,which yr choice in case of : screen,camera quality and shutter speed ,video quality(some said its better in the OneX even with has low fps compared to O4X! ), and battery, thx ahead

This is not an answering machine...
Personally, I chose the LG because it has exchangable battery and micro SD slot. They both have Tegra 3 and good displays, so it's no big difference hardware-wise. HTC has a large fanbase, so you'll have more custom roms on the HOX, plus the possibility to unlock your bootloader with HTCdev. LG might learn and do something similar, but as they're not open in saying what they do, no one can tell.

I was checking on eBay yesterday cuz I want a LG O4X and saw there was a developer version kinda like the Razr has one too... can anyone confirm this?
