News regarding the coming firmware update for the O2X.
LG Denmark confirms that the update is ready by next week or next week again - that is week 23 or 24.
- "The update is imminent, and are ready in one to two weeks, " says LG's Danish mobile manager Morten Aagaard to Mobilsiden.dk.
He explains that the update is currently being tested on all operators' networks in Denmark to ensure that it works one hundred percent - the same testing is currently also being performed in other European countries. When the update is a joint European release it must be released simultaneously in all countries.
"Therefore it is hard to say when exactly the update comes. It's fair enough that people get angry, but the update must of course also just be working, "says Morten Aagaard.

Well, it is still the newest statement from LG that we have at the moment.
But in general, I think every manufacturer should have a "I will believe it, when I see it" section. HTC, Samsung, Sony Ericsson to name a few. The list is long
haha, thats right, but iam lucky with my slick n.31 rom, very fast and stable, got no freezes or something.Iam anxios, how the devolopers will improve the new LG rom ^^
They probably are not sure they actually located the rebooting problem. Since it is (almost) impossible to reproduce the reboot they need such a long testing time, with no indication at all it will fix things lmao...

well. im not having any reboots...
what i want is gingerbread
I think we can believe them, that they try... it can't be easy to identify, and cure such a random thing... we should let them test it... no one would be satisfied if the just released a patch which won't help be patient people, LG knows he has to care, unless people won't buy their future stuff... they'll fix our problems
They will try it..and when they will see the first reboot or second then its time...!Update is ready reboots is working fine!let the update be released in the whole world... LOL
lets hope not to face something like that again for some fellas here with reboots problems...!
Here's a thought for LG, network operator's testing will only go so far to "break" the firmware.
IMHO, send the test firmware to the top 20 most chronic "battery pullers" on this forum. If they can all run it for a 2 weeks with no problems, it would certainly be a big improvement in stability.
Good news. If without any solution, probably, we need to change to use another mobile.

I hate hearing rumors, I really do. But I'm going to start one because mine has some merit to it. I have a friend of mine that works for Verizon. I told him I wouldn't state his name or what "department" he works in when I made this post. I was talking to him on the phone just about 45 minutes ago about the Revolution and how we're dying to get Gingerbread and how some people are actually getting rid of the Revo for fear that it will never get GB. Here's the conversation that took place.
Me: I just really wish we'd get it already. It would help out with development so much.
Him: Dude, whatever you do, don't get rid of your Revo.
Me: Haha, I'm not but why?
Him: You guys should be getting the soak test soon and as long as it goes good all Revos will have it by mid or late October.
Me: Don't bull**** me, how do you know?
Him: Trust me, it just came through an email 2 days ago. I meant to call you but I couldn't remember if you had actually bought the Revo or just waited for something different.
Me: Damn man that's awesome! You better not be bullshitting me.
Him: I'll put it this way, I put my paycheck on it.
Me: That's awesome man, hey can I tell people about our convo?
Him: I don't care, just don't use my name or where I work.
Me: Kinda HAVE to tell people where you work or I'll look like a retard hahaha.
Him: Oh ok but don't tell them what department I work in or anything. I already almost got fired a while back for putting out some info about the Bionic hahaha.
Me: Alright cool, hey thanks man. You have no idea how happy a lot of people are going to be when we get GB.
The rest of the convo was filled with nonsense talk about times past (and girls haha). Just thought I should share this info with you guys!
Loving this. I want GB!!!
I'm speechless
Thanks for the news.

a Soak Test is when the send out the update to a select few people and make sure that the update works in the real world with out breaking anything.

Soak testing is testing a system with a significant load over an extended period of time to discover how things act over a long period.
What he is saying is there are Revo's out there with 2.3.4 already installed on them. Verizon employees will carry and use a Revo on a daily basis with 2.3 loaded to see how it performs, what glitches arise etc...
If you play video games its kind of like an beta test only its not generally open to the public. During this time they also test the push out of the update to the phone to make sure everything will go smooth when they start pushing it to thousands at once.

what i read, someone is getting thecubed a leak of GB and that will help him get CM7 going faster..
now that was what i read under the CM7 post so who knows
Its probably the same leak the cubed has been waiting for. This will help him get the files to port over cm7. Great to hear!

Just want to update you guys a little more from my newest conversation.
Unfortunately he is in no position to get us a leak.
He works for tech support and received an email stating to be ready for possible high call volumes in about 2-3 weeks as the Gingerbread soak test begins for the LG Revolution. That was about all the email said.
Again though, this is in no way going to help us get a leak. Sorry guys.

"Home-Less and Iconic"Ok so think we should drop back into the original ROM with the
V6 update? maybe luck out and get an update in the next 2-3 weeks
Hmmm?
Might be worth having a stock phone if it got the OTA update with gingerbread in it.
Think i'm going to check out Revolt 1.4 tonight and go back to stock in the morning.
Please, any thoughts on this?

I wouldn't worry about going to back to stock just yet. According to the email, the soak isn't even going to start unil about 2-3 weeks from Monday the 12th.
Not sure how lg does it but you can sign up for these soak test with motorola they will even send them out to a few people who have gotten root access and have gotten back to stock as close as possible without having root access. check the droid 3 forums they just either did one or just sent out the invite to join the soak test.

While the Revo is a great single core phone... Hardware wise.
Bionic:
1. Dual Core future proof
2. 2.3.4 out of the box
3. Gorilla glass screen
4. qHD
5. 8mp Camera
6. 1745 MaH battery
7. 1080p Video recording
8. For the non-rooted - No Bing.

Although I agree with most of what you said is better here, I sure wouldn't say that dual core is future proof. They had already began discussing quad core before the first dual core even came out.

Not a rumor - we have always known GB was coming. This is partly why Cubed had delayed his CM7 development.

Throwing more cores at a device does not necessarily increase performance, either, unless the application base and operating system takes full advantage of them for multi-threading.
Case in point: Most hard-core games on a PC that came out over the past 5 years will run the same, if not better on a single or dual core machine as they did on a quad core. What really makes the difference is architecture, clockspeed, application architecture, and most importantly (assuming the apps use it) GPU implementation!
Assuming all apps were hardware accelerated on an Android, you would care more about the GPU then you would the CPU. Being that a lot of apps are not hardware accelerated, or take advantage of aggressive multi-threading, you may actually see a performance drop on the Bionic depending on the implementation of the devices core implementation (much like the scores from the Atrix showed).
The hype of more cores = smoother experience is bunk. It's just a spec and numbers war. More cores = possibility of more apps running seamlessly at once, but only if the architecture is there to support it.

In my opinion. If you count by valve time it would be a TF 2 comparison.

Or rather Duke Nukem Forever time, they started the development in 1996 and released it 2011.

I totally agree, they need to hear us. You got a good piece of hardware here and if you want to wipe out the competition, you just have to deliver...still not gonna whine about the phone because its a hell of a phone for me and I don't regret having it...
I just hope they deliver ICS though, I won't care if they dont release GB if ICS is up and running on the phone
If the GB update solve all the current issues, I dont think it would take much time for them to deliver ICS, but still it depends on LG it they wants to give us ICS.
we will get ICS when Gellybean comes out, lg works on a different year.

Hey,
Will CM10 have hardware acceleration? I installed it for 5 minutes earlier (reverted back to CM7.2 due to a bug that kept saying phone close or something) and it seemed to play a 1080p video recording fine and a 720p episode of family guy perfectly, And i've been reading that it definitely hasn't got HWA but on CM7.2 it definitely can't play these 2 files smoothly atall..
Thanks

It already has it.
LOL yes, the reason official CM10 exists now is because sources required for Hardware Acceleration finally got released at the end of October.
A good way to see if an ICS/JB ROM has hardware acceleration - check if the Chrome browser works!
Oh man, Now i feel stupid!
I've read on quite a few threads that it doesn't/wont have it until nvidea release their code, guess i just wasn't looking hard enough!
One more question though, The bug that i was on about... Is there anyway around that? It wouldn't connect to a mobile network or anything and constantly kept saying something about the phone having to close. Was so frustrating but compared the CM7.2 it was sooooo smooth and fast and would definitely start using the nightlies if this was fixed but keep in mind i'm a noob
Thanks

If you are completely unable to connect to the network, a possible solution is flashing a new baseband. Can't say exactly which one. It helps if you state your carrier first (and region, if the carrier operates in multiple countries). Chances are someone else here has the same carrier as you do and knows what baseband fits.

looks exactly like if i edited my build.prop to say 4.4.3, rebooted to have the change take affect, started recording a video, boot up, go to about phone and see the 4.4.3. they show no other proof, nor try to.
Google are too busy pi**ing about with pokemon rather than fixing their devices.

Yea, I'm aware. With so many incremental updates in such a short period, it makes more sense for Google to roll these minor fixes with the fix of something that's been inherently broken since the release of the OS like the audio latency issue. We typically get a late spring/summer update, IMO it would be easier to release everything in a bigger update. That's just my opinion, by no means does that make it right.

I'd also rather things be released in one big update but keep in mind that certain things are just unacceptable. Like how data goes in and out. That's the biggest issue I have with my Nexus 5. Other than that I am in no rush for any other bug fixes.
A "phone" should at least be able to make phone calls and receive text without having to toggle Airplane mode on and off.
