[Q]No front camera?

another time no front camera for visio calls on one htc hd serie...
hd3 and desire hd have the same missing hardware...
will still with my old touch hd for the moment

WP7 doesn't support video calling at this time!

Yes that would be a pretty good feature and I suspect that most phones that come out next year will have a front facing camera.

?
Why do they leave the video calling feature out... it doesnt make any sense to remove useful features on the new os.

People don't use it, infact it's a massive flop.
Apple have tried to revive it with "facetime" but I don't think it'll get very far tbh.

actually I think it'll be more a success this time round, when it was first implemented people weren't as comfortable being in front of a cam as they are now... see chat roulette etc as proof

lol its the most pointless thing ever, especially with facetime, can only be used on wifi? ill just use my web cam on my pc then...
No body uses it, and its not going to take off... the only way it would take off is there was a chat roulett app lol.

Optimus Speed + Sony Ericsson LiveView

Does anybody know if the Sony Ericsson LiveView "watch" works with the Optimus Speed correctly? It works from 2.1+, but with some smartphones it works sub-par I heard.
So I want to know how it works with the LGOS.
It'll be an instant order if it works well.
Argue that it is a gimmick all you want I want it.

Sorry for dual posting, but this thread has been going down way too much. Now that people actually own the 2x I'd like to push this

woks so so
some disconnects but other than that ist great

Some? What does that mean? How many times a day, for example? If it's once per day that's endurable.

Got it for my Optimus 2x. Works like charm! The problem is the app that you have to install in phone. It must be always running but android sometimes kill it...Searching for a workaround
This will help also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14227901&postcount=432

O2X vs DHD which your favourite?

I would like to know to owner who have DHD and O2X..which one is your most favourite smartphone? and why you choose it?
I had both phone, and i get confusing which one is better. My O2X is better in term of speed, but i dislike its interface software, i prefer more on htc sense.
so what do you think?

of curse the 2X
i rooted the device and deleted the lg software - using Lauchner Pro and its more than smooth...
i prefer the 2X display, 'cause it is not so big and much better/more beautiful !
only the battery drain makes the angry i got a bug - app '0' causes the drain... hope lg will fix it in the next update
all in all the 2X is the best device for me, currently

Compared the 2 today, the screen on the O2X is way better, and although the dhd has a very nice unibody, both phones feel very sturdy. I don't really like sense but it's definitely better than the lg UI. Personally i always install adw/ launcherpro. Where the O2X really shines though is gaming, it just destroys the dhd. One thing i really like about the dhd is the music player, not sure if you can install it on the O2X..

Pros of the O2X vs DHD
*The screen is so much more colorful.
*Battery life is just as good or better.
*Touch screen is better(Try slowly drawing a straight line fron the upper right corner to the lower left corner on DHD. You cant, it will be wavy).
*No HTCsense.com that still doesnt work after 6 month!!(This would be a minus if it had worked).
*Gestures! Instead of those silly arrows in the bottom of the HTC stock keyboard, the tapping on the side of the O2X works great, without taking up keyboard space. Great for curser moving if you want it to be accurate.
*The curved edges of the glass screen.
*Speed in the every day use neither phones lag. Games run more smooth though. Never experienced frame drops on O2X as I sometimes did on DHD.
*Front Camera: For when ever skype comes out with video chat for android..
Better on DHD:
*Weather widget and better widgets(didnt know the setup widgets was from HTC, but LG doesnt have it)
*Disable mobile view funtion in browser settings
*Previous/next page function in browser
*Notification/Charging LED
*Native flashlight/torch app!
*15 minutes delay on the password screen(Have to do it EVERY time on the LG, or none at all).
*Very good "Auto" brightness setting on the screen!(O2X is just like the Desire, too bright when its dark).
*OTA Updated via Mobile Data also(not just wifi like O2X)
I went back and read my initial reactions from when I just got it, and they are listed here too. A funny thing that I just noticed after reading through my post is that most of the stuff I like about my O2X is hardware, and most of the stuff I miss from my DHD is software related(and most of them can be solved by downloading free apps/widgets from the market).
Im not going to count software bugs and stuff, while in the daily day life the DHD was more "stable", htcsence.com never worked and sometimes I lost ALL my text messages, so it wasnt that perfect. Between HTC and LG´s software I would reccomend HTC to newbies and people that dont like messing around with settings, trying out new apps and such.
Oh and any user interface(Sense or whatever) is inferior to Go Launcher EX imo(and other launchers). That is why I only count widgets and menu points as something that adds value. Before I tried anything else than Sense, I thought the UI was good, but in reality is not all that.

Maybe i already get use to DHD after 6 month use it and not familier to ui of lg. Anyway, thank you guys for all your review. Keep it coming.
Thanks.

most things you find better on the dhd can also be changed or made working on the o2x
allthough the software widgets made by htc are native on the phone when you buy it there are lots of good alternatives for people that dont have a htc like there is a free backlight led app in the market, and beatiful widgets has the same clock/weather widget htc has if you find a propper skin for it.
the browser issue can be fixed with a 3rd party browser(dolphin w/e) allthough native non mobile page viewing would be really nice to have in the stock browser...
there isa custom made notification light for the o2x now which can be downloaded from somehwere here aswell.
the lockscreen can be changed with 3rd party software and there is a feature to change the pw refresh rate with this aswell.
so most of the things that were better on the dhd can be good on the o2x aswell but you just need to digg around a bit and it doesnt come native once you open the freshly bought phone but it can be tuned and tweaked to have the best of 2 worlds
just like to add that my previous phone was a dhd and i made the move to the o2x the second it came out and i never missed my htc since i got my o2x.

Well, we can safely say that the IPS screen beats the Super Lcd, and hardware wise the O2x wins as well, in design too, but not in software though.
IMO: Desire HD's screen was ghosting, and it was too heavy and big.
Also i didn't like holding the O2x, badly designed by LG.

Here a few point why i dislike my LGO2X..
1) its sms font is too big, difficult for me to see one long sms in single page. Its sms ui also too fancy to me..not suitable for corporate person like me.
2) its weather can not set update freq and location. I have to go to setting to update manually get current location.
3) its does not have restart option. Although many software in market, but all required to root. I dont want to root my phone since i dont want to lost my warranty, especially with reboot problem i face on O2X.
4) its camera sound during taking picture is ugly same like my old N95 phone (cheap phone).
5) its dont have data connection short cut. I have to go to
setting to activate it manually. There is software from market, but i already try all and it sometime function and not. I check setting, but data connection nothing change either i activate or deactivate the shortcut software download from market. Its look like its over write or something.
6) OTA update only available through wifi. Not mobile connection. How about if i dont have wifi in my house? But i have mobile connection data plan with my provider. Meaning this data plan is useless!! No meaning i pay my bil monthly to my provider if i can not use it to the limit!!
Thats all until now..i will edit more when i found others thing that i though. ;P

1) Just use another SMS program then, I use handcent on all my android devices anyway.
2) I agree
3) I use LG 2X recovery boot from the market to reboot my phone.
4) just goto settings/shutter sound and CHANGE it for one you like then.
5)I use apn droid to turn on/off my data.
6)OTA update is working over the air for some networks, this is just network dependent not device dependent.
My mate has the DHD and is a bit of a noob, so when I have to use his phone to find things on the web for hime I actually cringe at the speed or should I say the slowwwwwnessss of the web surfing on it. We tried miren that I use on my O2X on his DHD but it was still as slow as hell, and thats even before flash sites kick in.

after using the GS2 for few days,, i am back to O2X

So yeah. title says it all. i got my hands on O2X and i kept it. but i also found a used SGS2 and i decided to keep it. try them both. and sell the one that i dont like. and i decided to sell the SGS2 . which i did and made a 100$ profit. but to that later.
the build quality :
without a question. the O2X had a much solid feel in your hand. heavier. felt like an expensive phone. the SGS2 is very light,. all platicy it feels like a toy not an expensive phone
Screen :
i loved them both. the super amoled plus is stunning. a joy to watch movies in it. the 4.3 is abit big for my taste. so it made the phone bigger. on the other hand i love the IPS display on the O2X. kinda remind me of the iphone 4 one. which is a good thing. both screens had good response. both screens had problems. banding/ grid pattern on low brightnesss with dark gray backfround on SGS2 and light leakege on top of the screen from both sides on my O2X.
Software/ Hardware :
this was the deal breaker for me. the SGS2 is super smooth. but thats as far as it goes. 60% of the good high end games cant be played on SGS2. and they need a software update. the Mali 400/ Oxynos whatever its called doesnt support the same format structure and texture all the other phones do " Nexus S, Galaxy S, Adrinao 205 whatever " so i found my self most of the new Gameloft games doesnt work at all.
they need a software update. and whatever this happens or not, its up to developers. hell even games like run ninja doesnt run very smooth.
Emulators. the N64, the PSX emulators. all run better on Tegra 2. not much of difference. but you can see the difference easly.
the GPU " as of now " lacks alot in the SGS2.
plus. i really love what Nvidia is doing with Tegra zone games. to get those awesome looking games is something very nice. with the SGS2, i found my self playing SGS1 games. that if they were able to run in the first place.
please note. i am not saying the SGS 2 is bad device. i am saying that as of now, the Tegra 2 devices are better " read : Atrix/ O2X "
and i think i will skip the SGS2 till they release the Tegra 2 SGS2. then i will consider switching.
but if you are a gamer like me, dont even think of doing it.

Not possible, the SGS2 is the best phone in the world and touched by the hand of God.
All those games that won't load up are just scared because of the awesome speed of mali.
tegra 2, wtf is that, that's ancient technology, good for a table coaster.

im sure my viewpoint would be the same as the OP if my O2X actually worked. The phone was nice but I cant be proud of a phone that randomly decides when it wants to reboot or freeze. I really had high hopes for the O2X and may consider switching back if LG gets off its butt and addresses/fixes the problems.
For the money that either phone costs they should just work.

i have lg2x for about 2-3 weeks and mine never rebooted even once!!!maybe you are unlucky about reboots..i had iphone 4 and i had all the times reboot..maybe 15-20 reboots per day!now i dont have even one reboot with lg2x!my opinion is to give to the repair service of LG and tell them to replace it with a new one!
as for the sgs2 i had it for 2 days and hmmm...lg2x gaming and web browsing is faster than sgs2...!!that is enough for me and guess what??
LG2X has still 2.2.2 stock rom and 1 ghz
SGS2 has 2.3.3 1.2ghz
wait for the official gingerbread for lg2x and see the smoothness and speed!
nuff said..!

thing is Im in afghanistan and cant afford to take another chance that LG will repaor the phone. Im sure you have seen the threads of the wide spread issues with the O2X. I think maybe you are the lucky one to have a phone with no reboots/freezes as it seems the majority have problems with the O2X.
I did like the phone a lot but because of my location and the how long the shipping time is from the US to the military bases here. I just cant take a gamble. In my mind a 600.00 phone should work the first time.

I'm in love with my o2x also, without backlight bleeding and more ram it would be perfect. Also a different cover on the back would be nice.
Also i must say i had no reboots and freezes. But the screen has some response issues sometimes.

For more RAM, there is a kernel that frees up 64mb so you will have around 430, not 360 or so. It's still in development, dev made some errors and he will fix them today (probably).

I used Samsung before and i don't really like their support because they launch the phone then leave you to die, so now i am using LG2x and i like their support so far, besides, the tegra chip is damn nice for games.

i have the exact issue with the backlight bleeding but i am living with it. i figured if i decided to keep the phone for very long time, i can just order a screen. it costs like 50$ for the OEM version too. which is not expensive.

I just can't understand, that the SGS2 is such a mega-hype. I ever thought, that android users are more reasonable than apple fans.

I also tried out the sgs2 but went from that to this. ;-)

HDMI + Bluetooth.

Hello, a couple months ago i bought this wonderful phone, i used it for some time and is the first cellphone that i really liked from day 0, i also have a Nokia N900, wich is an amazing machine, quite deprecated even with it's 32GB of internal storage and wonderful 5Mpix camera but this one took me some months to stop not wanting to throw it to the wall.
The Samsung galaxy Ace 2 i think is also a bit crappy compared with the LG 2x if we let battery life on a side. (3~4 days) And took me about 3 or 4 months plus several rom flashings to get it to work correctly and not annoy me with odd behavior..
Sadly a friend of mine lost his phone and as he liked the LG, really diskiiked the N900 and the Ace 2 was working really really bad i gave him this wonder of technology.
After about a month he bought another one for his wife, so now they both have an LG 2x and i am stuck with the Galaxy and a Nokia N900 photo/video camera.
I have not bought again an LG 2x because of this two issues that i think are really really important.
If i can't use HDMI, i really don't care to have the 1080p video recording capability, and if the bluetooth is not working i'm really not interested in go out listening music with a hanging cable around my neck and body.
So, i really like the idea to have EVERYTHING on one place and leave the Galaxy and the N900 inside a drawer at home.
I know if i stick to ICS i could get all working, but i'm now used to 4.2 and would'nt like to go back...
I know that these two things must be very complicated to fix, otherwise, someone would figure it out already.
But my question is... ¿Is there any chance that somewhere in time someone could fix this?
What's needed to fix them?

My dear friend
I fully appreciate your point....infact everyone does....everyone agrees that we should have everything for what we pay for
But just a small thing....you are not a newbie here...Have seen you have a reasonable number of posts....please ask the moderators to shift this to a relevant section.
I am sure we will get to the points which you are concerned about in the near future....until then we have to wait

Hi there,
I'm not quite sure, for HDMI , developers are unable to fix it without something that's from nvidia,
For Bluetooth, I heard it is ..forgot what it is called, toolchain? The newer ones cause Bluetooth not working correctly on our o2x, need a lot of work to fix it. Our o2x is too old for now.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

About HDMI... you can use ICS stock to have the HDMI rotation or you can use Ultimate app rotation to force the rotation screen on your device.
Bluetooth.. like others devices after the change by google from BleuZ stack to bluedroid a lots of problems have been found.
If you need bluetooth and HDMI use ICS rom
