To all users of the LG Optimus 2X! As it is always important to keep your smarpthone updated, we're sharing with you that there will be a software update starting mid to end of May. This month's updates will include improved multimedia player support such as reinforced video format and music/video player functions as well as a more stabilized patch to prevent rebooting/freezing that are occurring for some users. LG is working hard to maximize user experience as always. Please check with your local LG service centers for when and how you can get these updates. Cheers!
Sounds good even though my 2X is working perfectly. Improvements is always nice.
From pocketnow; http://pocketnow.com/android/lg-to-release-optimus-2x-software-update-in-may
Why not just take one or two weeks more and release Android 2.3.4, Gingerbread?
That sounds great
but do i need to unroot and unfreeze the bloatware before i update to 2.3??
i don't think you need to remove the root. unless you have a custom ROM.
i wish that there's a way to check via OTA to see if there's an update ready for the phone.
The Optimus one update has leaked and was 2.3.3.
So I expect the one of O2X would be 2.3.3. aswell. Also seeing the G2X leak being 2.3.3

True, but why would they announce something in such a big way.
also why would release roms leak, if they were testing it.... test roms would leak.

Because there has been an outcry about how turd the existing builds are?
Reported on phandroid.com today:
----------
LG informed us that they’ve found the issue and have applied a fix
"The patch that we’re issuing will address the random freezing or rebooting problem that we’ve identified when:
- the phone is being charged
- the power button is pressed to wake up the phone
- the phone is in stand-by mode"
----------
http://phandroid.com/2011/05/16/lg-...-rolling-out-to-europe-to-fix-random-reboots/
So mayb it will be a biggass update.
They should just focus on getting Gingerbread update out and forget about Froyo minor updates. I don't understand what they're trying to do here. Late update is really late!

I prefer fixing the whole BSOD reboot issue, then having 2.3
could be a delaying tactic to sell more phones or they are expecting 2.3 to be delayed
NeXT thing they should fix is the call quality.
Call quality varies too much now.

Damn, if they really fix that issues, I'm definitely buying this!!! Screw SGS2, no Tegra games (haha!)
P.S. I also think it is better to fix this (NOT minor) bug on Froyo, just to prove it's a SW bug .
Exists something that is working right in this phone
They have to do much more than a little bug fix but let's see ...
Looking forward to this update, maybe cm_arcee and the other cyanogenmod guys can learn something to prevent actual instability in cm7 (but anyway cm7 is great so far...)

Hey I have baseband 1035.21_20110223 on my o2x and I'm from Norway. The rest you can pretty much pick up from the title, but do I need to change before going to China? Running cm7 nightlys.

Hei åssen gårre rest in english: how's the sound quality? I'm on 405 and its not 100% .... I was on 502 for a while. Sound was excellent but it was just to many problems with it.

You don't need to change it before leaving for China, it doesn't alter the frequencies the phone e works on, that's hardware.
the baseband everybody is talking about is software/drivers for the gsm/umts radio. If you experience problems you could upgrade to 20110405. if call quality is fine and you have no problems else, you can just leave it as it is. No need to fix something that's not broken
I am using 0405 on Telenor network and CM7 31 and have good call quality, signal reception, and no problems related to baseband. have heard bad things about 0502 though..
Lykke til
Hi, I'm just wondering for those that have 20110405, do you guys still have the option to check for updates OTA?

I tested every baseband and i can't realy notice a difference in sound quality, but maybe my ears suck
thanks for the clearafication. Im wondering though, it seems CM7 might be a bit worse with low signal than stock/modaco but that might just be bad luck for now.

there is no more OTA option on my menu since updated to 20110405/10Vd.

Now LG say 2.3 after the summer on swedish site
That must be a joke,
but by the way... i'm sure lg will bring android 2.3 to the 2x when cyanogen brought 3.1 alread!
There is no CM 3.1 ROM, Honeycomb is still closed source.

I'm sure he means, that by the time 3.1 (Or really ICS, 'cause HC isn't going to be opensourced) has been turned into a CM release, LG might release GB

Wrong section - stop replying people, thread needs to die.
Why is there yet another thread about this???
We all know it was delayed, and I think more and more people know it won't come at all.
I got 2 email replies from LG. The first one said the update will come after summer for sure. The second one said there is no precise date for the update, not even after summer.
So to sum up:
n°1 LG is telling us all to go **** ourselves on this one
n°2 It's useless to open a new thread every time LG tells us to go **** ourselves
n°3 LG is ****ing ****
Froyo -> Gingerbread upgrade is not all that big. Most of you won't even know its running gingerbread vs froyo. Not sure what the big deal is.
its not about the software update, we have CM7 for that.
Its about the kernel update that we want from gingerbread.
And also, are you kidding? "most of you want know the difference" ? where do you think you are? this is XDA why do you think where here?

Pretty sure most of the people *****ing about it want it for the sake of having the number "2.3" written on the version screen as oppose to "2.2.2". What will gingerbread let you do that you can't do now?
If you're having issues with the phone (reboots/freezes etc) then fair enough otherwise just chill. It's just a phone.
I had a HTC Legend before Optimus 2X. And when the stable cm7 rom was running in my phone it was WAY faster then with any stable custom Froyo-rom. And 2.3 looks very nice. 2.3 also has the Screen-off animation, and a function to select text in messages and on webpages to easier copy, edit or delete parts.
Thats what I can remember I miss atm..

Yeah you're right, we need the kernel to produce better and stable CM7s or other gingerbread builds >< If only we could get our hands on one single Optimus 2x kernel source code ><
Dont know if you have tried CM7 lately but its VERY stable, at this point the only thing we need LG to fix is maybe the battery drivers

I almost agree.... cm7 rocks and no point at all using standard rom however the battery aint so bad is it? I manage live wallpaper, fair usage on wifi, 3g and 3 hours a day audiobook ( yes works tough going lol )baseband/rij 725 and she lasts a day no problem ........ if you think thats bad you should try my wifes iphone 3gs!!!
edit:- lcd brightness is also up full tilt
edit again.... why doesnt lg/htc/etc etc hire the cm devs? as far as im aware they dont get paid much if anything other than the odd donation and a new phone here and there for a hell of a lot of work.... surely if anyone should be doing the official roms its people like them who love their work?
Im sorry im a little newbie on this things.
But Its GB really out for LG OB or is some kind of mix from other countries like india, japan and that stuff?
Im from Portugal btw, if anyone could tell me if it has arrive in portugal i'll appreciate.

once again... keys are not a bug. it is a feature which you may or may not like but not liking it diesnt make it a bug. it is done to preserve some battery juice and on other phones (like my o3d) it is like that since day one on froyo earliest version. The only "bug" regarding keys may be that you are not able to change that but then again feel free to try and mod the lg2x app for key lighting to work on your phone or try the one already modded for o3d (it even has a widget). You can find it here but don't know if it works on OB. Any of the devs here with a little modding will be able to make it work though...

No rom is perfect or completely bug free - even stock isn't. So the choice of which rom you'll use depends on some tradeoffs. If you can live with some forced closes and the lack of hardware acceleration isn't an issue, I'd say go with CyanogenMod 9, since ICS brings a fantastic user experience. Otherwise, CyanogenMod 7 is a great choice, but it lacks some convenient stuff from stock, like HDMI settings and some cool widgets, for example, but is definetly faster.
If you are looking for stable, a stock rom free of brand software, but it's always recommended to try and see what fits you. You have some gb tweaked roms, CM7 and WIUI which is the one I'm currently using (and loving), have had some randoms reboots but it's still worthy.
More stable i think CM 7 but more costumized are cm9, you choose

thx ppl, for me bugs are ´t a force close ... aplication not responding .. or something like that is for example gps don´t work, radio, batery drain.... etc
Dont pick any CM rom at all, the rom's cant handle a baseband that work 100% so you get a lot of system FC and statusbar is gone, and also a lot of instability and battery drains.
If i were you go for stock, the AmnonRom V20q
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544105 is a nice one.
Baseband : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500443 get 313 only one working for me of so many basebands, and i have a SU660 :S
If you have a normal 2x go for 420, my mate says he waited a year for a working baseband and it is the only one working for him.
People who are saying that CM is stable on 2x is ether A. Protecting the dev so he can continue working, or B. lieing to make them self feel better(or pick a reason).
Too many tests have been done on the basebands and none of last year basebands work.
ok i go try this one, ther no vercion 2.3.7 working good?
for the post i see ICS is working like crap..
There is no baseband for ICS so you will loose signal and voice in phone will be bad.
And ofc no HW drivers for ICS.

On your "CM is stable" choices, you forgot to add a third option:
C. smart enough to know what they're doing. And are enjoying their O2X alot.
CM7 runs great, CM9 runs good.
I will never go back to stock.
@dinmorerbedst:
It sucks that you have had that bad experience but this doesn't mean others have that, too. I don't know if you're just unlucky and got a bad phone or didn't read enough to flash the right CM builds.
Most people are very happy with Cyanogenmod builds and they run great for them. Period.
I hope you all who have updated your device would care to share a little bit more than "it's great" or "it's crap". This thread now seems to get a little bit better, but it could be really good if you guys could open up a little bit what did you do etc. so that it's easier to determine what worked / what didn't.
I'm frustrated with LG at the moment and want to get a custom ROM. Therefore I do really appreciate your comments and experience as some of you have been already experimenting in this area. Now I'm just trying to figure out what did each of you do and I'm willing to write / update instructions what to do for this device if I get it to work.
dinmorerbedst said:
I have personaly tested all the roms i could get from this forum on 2- 2x phones+ all the basebands.
I can tell you that CM9 is the most unstable rom to date.
If my phone's hardware is bugged why is it the same for 2 versions of the mobile?
It seems like you dont look at your status bar very often, cause "crash bands" that will say pre 2012 basebands crash on both mobiles, and on another of my friends P990.
3 devices, 2 identical(P990) and 1 SU660 with the same problems all over, they need the 313(SU660) and 420(P990) basebands to work, that cant be faulty hardware, that is faulty LG.
Ril dont matter at all, i cant see difference and log cat reports the same, nothing different.
You guys can bang your head to my reply's but 2 months of hardcore testing should speak for it self.
TBH i could care less about people that dont even test they phone and just state CM7 works fine, when it dont.

I'm on CM9 since arcee's sk, and though it's not perfect it's fast becoming pretty stable, to me at least. My baseband is 405 with matching ril and all works fine, no reboots, no bsod, no nothing. Tested nova hd, owain since 1 to 74, even MIUI V4, and all works really well.
Also temaseks CM7 is the most stable rom i tried, so either you have 2 faulty devices or i am one lucky bastard.
Just my 2 cents.

I am also on Temaseks CM7 and enjoying it a lot. Especially since the latest overclocked kernel
I didn't bother to read the whole thread, but basically what I did was:
1. Root phone
2. Install Clockwork Recovery
3. Flash latest Temasek rom
4. Flash latest Temasek kernel, which can be found on the same servers as his roms.
I used to miss my (stolen) Galaxy S when I got this 'inferior' 2X. It was slow and development wasn't as plentiful. Then I got AlienRevolution, also a CM7 rom. It was good, but development stopped. Then I tried the ICS roms too, but had random problems, slowness and usually no GPS fix. Along with the 'no video' thing, it was a no brainer to go back to CM7.
I don't miss the Galaxy S anymore. The 2X is stable, fast, GPS fixes are rediculously fast (10 seconds, no matter where I am). Battery life lasts me more than 24hrs (but thats with 2G, using 3G only when necessary). Friends who adore their Iphone4 are also impressed by the snappyness, so it's not just me. Infact, I'm so happy with this stuff that I won't buy a new phone for at least a year. How's that?
To be fair, I never tried the modded stock roms.
edit: Apperently some guy in this thread is bad mouthing CM7 and its users. Quite weird that 100's of happy users all lie to themselves to keep a developer happy... Anyways as for stability, I use my phone for gaming and benchmarking, and not once has it crashed or FC'd.

Lets see... this forum is basicly dead, what i mean is that alot of people already left, and you guys that are left are talking nice and backing up the devs, when they work is not really all that good and most of the time the so called "fixes" dont fix anything.
All cause you are scarred they might leave or get a better phone.
And btw why use 218 ril as standard for CM roms when i and others get data loss and most of the time no signal at all, when using old basebands and they obsolete ril's.
I mean come on guys so many basebands with unstable data connection and you guys say it is working? i have to lol at you guys, it is the same in the goverment :

I pretty much echo JohnnieDarko's sentiment, followed those four steps (but only installing vanilla CM7 7.2 RC2) and my phone felt like it was a totally different thing. Heck I didn't even match my RIL yet (725 BB but on the 4xx RIL or some stupid thing).
If you're so fed up with this, why even bother posting in the forum anymore? Just move on...

I have non of your problems. Data connections are stable, with CM9 as well as CM7. No idea what you did with your phone(s). You either live in deepest Tadjikistan and it's simply your network that fails ... or you should reconcider this awful habbit of making your phones swim in your garden pond. It WILL damage the hardware.
As I said: Video is a problem still with CM9. That's it.
