hi O2X crew. i'm considering buying this phone but upon reading a few forums this phone is pretty unreliable to start with. i've noticed there had been a major software update by LG. so does it mean now the phone people can buy from the stores are a lot better than before?
there has been no major update. you are better off with something thats not from lg.... i would recommend a nexus, maybe wait on the new one
the hardware (at least in most cases) is not the problem, the problem is the utterly bad software and support from lg.

If u haven't buy it, don't. If u bought it, go for cyanogenmod rom.

no its not, though it fixes bugs present on initial release
I'd advice you to just forget o2x, and wait a while for the nexus release, you'll add a few bucks, and you'll get a rock solid phone + with awesome support, unlike the o2x(still has no official gb update)
OMG ppl...
Am I the only satisfied owner?
Dont know whats the fuzz about.
I got the 2x for 300 euros and am more than satisfied.
With Cyanogenmod its stable, super fast and good battery life.
Ok stock rom might not be the best rom out there but whatever device i would gotten, i would install cyanogenmod either way. So....
I recommend it if you are under a bit of a tight budget. If not go for SGSII
lorismarcos: when did u get your o2x?
so with the update, does the phone still reboot, freeze, bad battery life, etc etc etc?
i'm considering o2x cuz its the best phone right now for fido in which i can redeem my fido dollars on. i wish fido has a better lineup.
Repeat!! Do not buy LG phone...
Or you will join us to angry LG poor software service......
alrighty then
LG Optimus 2X!!!!! its a lost cause, just do your best to stay way from it or any other LG phone.
I concur with other people's opinions that the software part really needs improving from LGs end. However, as far as the hardware is concerned you get your bang for your buck. It plays well with other dual core phones so with a custom ROM you can really exploit the capabilities of the phone. Even on the stock ROM (Which I am using at the moment) the phone is running fine, no randon BSODs for me at the moment, and battery life pretty good, actually last a few more more than a day. So, I'd say it's a good phone but LG has reduced the quality of it by not releasing updated software for it.
when did u get yours Soul?
The problem with optimus 2x is in 3 parts
1st it was delivered with a really BAD software (random reboots etc)
2nd They promised gb update at may-june (whick never happened till today they postpone it all the time)
3rd they dont release their propriaty software so no stable aosp roms wet
2.2 IS stable now but if you try 2.3 youll see a speed and battery and api improvment. So eveyone wants 2.3
If lg had said "People I sell this phone but youll get 2.3 in a year noone would qq now.
If lg opened their sources unrooted people would qq now
As things are now all are qqing.
My advice is get this phone. The price / value is very high. That if you can live with 2.2 froyo which doesnt have any problems nowdays but still its not 2.3 gingerbread.
psI was one of the first people that got optimus 2x (snif 500€) and I had numerous of problems with 10b version but it was ok with 10a. after 10d with 725 baseband it was buggless

Nope, there are more of us
Never had any problems, really. And our phone is getting better and better, there is no doubt about it. Even if LG sucks - our developers did wonders out of beta leaks
Also beware of the BSOD problem, that hasn't been yet fixed, even in the leaked GB ROMs (it's probably a hardware issue). It occures every 3-4 days and the only way to unblock the phone is to take out the battery.
Do NOT buy this phone until you're sure LG sorted this bug out!
buy it, its a god phone i never had a problem and i gad it the day it come out
I have o2x for me and my wife.
My boss bought o2x 2 weeks before me (they stole it though).
My recommendations for you is better pick another phone.
Reasons:
My wife runs on stock rom 2.2.2
For facebook, phone, sms camera and some silly games is just fine with the stock rom and good phone for its money.
On the other hand my phone runs on custom rom (topogigis) because the battery, customization, stability isnt what i like on the phone and i want more than a few apps like my wife. Stock 2.2 was a nightmare for me. Reboots, bad reaction and generally not stable for my taste.
My boss had 5 times reinstall stock rom etc because he had issues with the phone. He said at last installation that the phone runned smoothly although BSOD was a daily bases (at least once a day).
Conclusion:
If u want a phone with stock roms and never care about anything else look for another phone. LG support sucks, just forget stock rom.
If u want a phone with good hardware and low money but u want to custom everything then buy one but get in mind that u might have to learn how to cook roms because many developers might quit developing on this phone and buy another phone, considering LG support.
Haters gonna hate
Wow, there are so many haters in this thread, lol
I love my 2x. It is the best phone I ever had.
I didn't have any problems with the original stock rom (except for the fact that it was a little sluggish). After the last LG update (10d), everything is nice and smooth.
I am on a gingerbread leak (topogigi) because I am a nerd, but I found the 10d fast and stable.
Also, lol at having to learn how to cook roms to use the phone. I think developer support for our phone is awesome and nothing makes me think that it's going to be changing any time soon.
You people are phone user so please share your experience
Kindly help me to choose from ATRIX or Thrill
i have ARIX but i got an exchange deal with Thrill + Rs.1500($30) INR
From all specs i understand Thrill is overall better phone but
atrix has 1GB ram where 512 in thrill(but still its fast)
thrill has very poor life where atrix has 2000 mah battery.
atrix has better developer support.
thrill has 4.3" 3D screen
What i am concerned is:
1. if thrill play 1080p mkv download from net without convert
2. Games compatibility with thrill
3. video Gtalk
what you people wants to suggest?
My wife has the thrill and I have an Atrix and I can honestly say I love my Atrix and think its overall a better phone. Its smoother in terms of overall use and like you said the Atrix does have quite a bit of developer support.
MIUI is being developed, currently in Alpha 3. CM9 also by the Atrix Dev team. I haven't payed much attention to the thrill development so I can't compare but I'm happy with the support the Atrix gets. The battery life is amazing on the Atrix and even better with custom ROMs once you tweak it to your liking.
My wife has the Thrill so I've used it a bit, but I'm not an expert on it. This is my opinion based on my useage of both phones.

its a yes to all three questions. ad for number2 it can even play tegra2 games with chainfire installed.
i love my phone. the screen is one of the best i have ever viewed. super easy to see in direct sunlight. crisp and bright. great colors.
Sent from my LG Thrill 4G...
I'd stick with the Atrix till the Thrill gets GB and see how it functions after that. I'm not rooted so the only 3D games I can play (and that even exist) are gameloft and they're really hit or miss on the function and 3D. I use Qik for video chat as Skype does not support it on froyo on this device. I get freezing and reboots all the time so the 512 ram and duel core isn't doing me anygood. I love the 3D but since you already have a good device I'd wait and see.
Thanks all of you for sharing your experience and thoughts.. This is really helping me out...

I would stick with the Atrix and avoid the Thrill 4G. I had a Motoroloa Droid X and was very happy with the wide variety of custom ROMs. I have a LG Thrill 4G, and I wished I would have purchased another phone. LG launched it with Android 2.2 (released May 2010) when the most recent version and most other phones were on the 2.3 series. It is now 2012 and LG has yet to update their OEM ROM to 2.3. There are only rumors that LG will update it to Android 4.0 (aka Ice Cream Sandwitch).
I just installed the nightly Cyanogenmod ROM for the LG Thrill and it might be the the savior, but 3D doesn't work on Cyanogenmod yet. I would stick with Motorola, who is now owned by Google, and more likely to be up to date, and supported by the mod community.
I'd wait until Feb when all the new devices will be announced that's coming out.
Sold my thrill... Got ah Atrix. Like the Atrix better. Course i'm on my own custom ROM. Full cwm recovery. Easy to work with files. Lot of options. And I made money in the end on Ebay.

These were the exact two phones I was deciding between back in October. For me, the Thrill won because the Atrix screen was pretty terrible. It's smaller and has poor contrast, so dark details would just be blacked out. The Thrill has the same IPS screen technology as the iphone 4. I also really enjoy playing with the 3D features on the phone; I'll usually end up taking 2 pictures of things, one in 2D and one in 3D I think the Thrill has a slightly better processor, but the Atrix does have 1 GB of ram, which would be nice. In the end it's up to you, but I chose the Thrill because the screen is the thing you'll be looking at all day, and that won out. 3D N64 emulators also piqued my interest.. I imagine the Atrix 2 would be nice as well, if they fixed the contrast on it.
fixing to help a buddy root and install custom rom on lg thrill and i must say i love my atrix cause this thing looks like its going to be tough time to strap on my nerdy suspenders and put on some coffee cause its going to take us awile:banghead:
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I had an atrix and traded it for the o3d rogers version of the thrill. The atrix wa nice but the screen sucked, the colors were so washed out and the camera was crap. Every picture i took looked grainy. I love my o3d but am a little dissapointed about not having 2.3 but its not even about 2.3 but about the new features lg added. Like the 3d conversion and and radio feature. But i wouldn't trade back for the atrix. I'm just worried because the developement here isn't as good as other phones I've had but i believe its due to the proprietary 3d software lg made. I just wish someone could make a simple port of the o3d 2.3 rom for rogers, not much support for rogers

My buddy is trying to choose between the thrill and the infuse.
He is a iphone person but while recently playing with my Transformer Prime he started to get the idea of getting either or but wants to keep his iphone. He would choose the skyrocket but 200-300 is a little steep as of right now.
What does the community say? His last android was the optiums s
I had the atrix, infuse, and now the thrill...they are all great devices. I love the 3d feature and the phone isn't bad when it comes to specs.

Yup. I'm with Trekfan. I've decided I don't even care anymore. The phone does what it needs to do as a phone, sync my calendars, play some games, etc. I'll be going with the padfone or the new upcoming Sony Xperia phone. I doubt I'll be back to LG.
Hey everyone... finally got myself a thrill last night It is amazing!! I rooted it with superoneclick and put cwm on it already but now what rom should I get? I read that the cyanogenmod roms doesn't have working hdmi, and 3d!! Which is what this phone is mainly about. Any suggestion on a stable working rom that doesn't interfere with 3d features or HDMI? Like a gingerbread rom with sense ui port? Or is this phone too new and developers haven't had the time to port it over yet? Thanks for all the answers everyone!

Were just really waiting for a north american release of ginger bread but there are some good ones thriller and doom also if 4g isnt that big of a deal optimus 3d thread has lots of good roms
I did check the development thread but didn't see much rom that is consider stable. I would like to keep everything functional, 4g, 3D, and HDMI. I saw thriller rom but there was something that was missing from it that didn't catch my eye. Also what will putting the rom from the optimus 3d do to the thrill? what feature will be missing.
thrill seeker check that one out it removes all the crap apps that come with the phone and help phone run smother better some have overclocks and new themes
We are essentially asking the same question. Can the Moderators combine our threads? Here's my post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475388
The only bit of advice I have about the different ROMs to share from my thread is that GB baseband and custom ROMs do improve performance but the CM7 is supposedly AMAZING. Anyways... I'm about to put CM7 on my phone. I know I will lose 3D and HDMI but I think I can live without it... after all it is rather gimmicky.
3D is what this phone is all about, I guess I have to wait for mods to explore more on this phone.
I'm about to get a SGS II, so there is another ROM coming up.

I have the rogers LG p925G. How do I extract the baseband? I am amateurish but I can help you as much I can to get it rooted.
thedarklestat, what do you mean when you are referring to the v20c?
I know this is asking a lot, but I thought I'd just request it and throw it out there. I'm not a proffessional developer or anything that's for sure, but I don't think it should be that hard to port ICS to the Thrill/O3D. The only reason it's not out already is because literally nobody has been working on it, and it's a little upsetting to me. And to be honest, I could care less if the 3D capibilities worked on the ROM or not. ICS for LG Nitro has been released on XDA I believe, I've seen a video of it. Wouldn't it be easy just to port that release onto the Thrill instead of starting from scratch and creating ICS for the Thrill? Plus, I love the new UI LG has came up with for it's ICS phones, and I believe that UI is included for the released update for the Nitro. I don't know, I'm just throwing this out there since nobody seems interested in it anymore, maybe I can get some developers out there working on it? It'd be nice, but I'm not holding my breath.
That would be cool I would like to see this

I think they have to wait until the ICS source gets leaked or ICS official update for the LG Optimus 3D comes out.
Would be nice though.

Theres always a way, just not enough developers on this forum.
well i just did a little research last night and found out that the only device (from like 7 phones) that has our chipset cpu/gpu and is running ICS is the samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0
and lg is suposed 2 release ics for o3d on 3Q this year... so lets wait?
Looks like the LG Spectrum is close to getting ICS. At least LG is trying to update something here in the U.S. at a respectable time:
http://phandroid.com/2012/05/28/ice-cream-sandwich-leaked-for-the-lg-spectrum-over-the-air-update-rolling-out-soon/
Maybe the O3D doesn't have enough hardware to run ICS. And I used a ported Prada rom before, it really was built on O3D's v21d, just the framework of Prada. In short a developer can only insert mods and packages on our (built for O3D) roms, you even have to flash LG's compatible baseband to get a custom rom running properly
And I do believe the 3DMax was built to run ICS instead of our O3D, it's probably the only purpose
Guys , do we have any updates on this thread?? I'm dying to upgrade android on my LG Thrill.
P.S. I have spent some time to find something.
Unfortunately couldn't find ANYTHING
Big Thanks in advance
ICS was ported a few weeks ago. It is compatible with your Thrill.

1. It comes with 2.2 but can be upgraded to 2.3.5
2. There are some custom ROMs that offer 3D (Thrill seeker 3.1 was my favorite). ICS (Android 4.0) has been rumored to maybe become available later this year, but most likely you will not see ICS on the thrill unless someone developes a custom ROM (which also isn't likely as I read that there were some hardware constraints).
3. For me, the phone has been great. If treated well and taken care of, you will most likely not run into any major issues.
