Hi,
I'm seriously considering going out and buying this phone but I'm really not sure after seeing all the threads with people saying that they go back to their phone and it's switched off and requires a battery pull.
This seems to be a fairly serious problem but I was just wondering if it is happening to everyone who owns the O2x?
Please let me know if you are unaffected by the problem!

I've had mine since March and I have not experienced any freezes or reboots.
It really is a great piece of hardware. I'm not that fond of LGs software, but that can be solved with a custom ROM.

So, how do you get on Rusty, you seem like a very experienced XDA member.. how is the O2X treating you?
i am not the best guy to talk to . i just got the phone used yesterday for very cheap. i figured that if i dont like it, i can sell it for the same money or even make a little more and get the SGS2.
but so far. no crashes/reboots.. been more than 24 hours. using custom rom as well.
i got the phone for 300$. the stickers still on it. i figure if i decide to sell it. i wont lose at all..
so far. i am really loving the phone. i love the UI of LG. but its slow. it laggs. i wonder if there is a custom rom with the LG UI but smooth one.
right now i am on modaco. with 3000 quadrant. if i switch to google launcher. phone is smooth. if i switch to LG one, it laggs a little in the home screen. i tried the Tmobile version 2.3 on my optimus. its super smooth. but i cant make phone calls on it lol.
and i had a screen problem with the cayanogen rom. for some reason my screens dims and go bright on its own.
oh yeah. i also have a screen light leak/bleed. but it doesnt bother me much because the only way i can notice it if the room is dark and i have a black wallpaper.
Mine went slow once on stock, once isn't bad though. The froyo Rom does seem rushed in truth, (I have random battery drains from my Dialer which makes no sense) but I'm sure Gingerbread will have everything sorted.

Pretty well to be honest. I use CM7 nighties (I bought the phone specifically because it was going to be supported by them) so I cannot expect a bug free experience at this early stage.
I am enjoying it though, I came from a Nexus One that had bugger all internal storage and a poor digitizer, so proper multi-touch and 1.5GB spare for apps is fantastic.
The IPS screen is great if you can overlook the associated backlight bleed (it's not just the 2X, look at iOS devices as well, same thing), the GPS chip is excellent, I can get locks in place that my N1 couldn't.
The stock ROM is turd, frankly. It's fast, until you install something, then it becomes unusable for a bit until it's finished with the app... quality coding
fine
i have my lg optimus 2x now for over a month, no problems here.
i stil have the stock rom.
first v10a. no problem
later v10b. no problem
I have had 2 O2x now for litle over a month
one of them has had BSOD and restarts randomly - the other had none, atleast for the first month - but these past days this one has now also rebooted a couple of times.
Both are completely stock - not rooted and not using any custom roms.
Only using a different launcher which do help make the BSOD and Reboots less often.

I been over there as well. Most of the problems on the SGS 2 are either software or can be solved with apps. My O2X had so many problems that I could never use the phone and wifi at the same time. Bleeding, constant reboots/freezes crashes even with Custom ROMs. Since Im in afghanistan now I need a phone that will work not just when it feels like it. I will say that when the O2X was working it was a sweet phone. I just dont see the same problems with the SGS2 and Samsung tends to be better in the service side instead of LG leaving us pissing in the wind waiting for a "possible update" that might fix things or not.
guess i´m a lucky guy, too!
i have no crashes/reboots and absolutely NO backlight bleeding
Mine is also working properly.

Hey folks,
I'm experiencing with my IS, as mentioned in the title, an input lag of the touchscreen. It is not really disturbing, but the fact, that my friends Wildfire recognizes the input better, with Stock 2.1 ROM installed, bothers me really
In the moment I'm S-off on Android Revolution HD 1.1.2, which has a slightly better input than stock 2.3.3, but it is still there. Please tell me, if you are experiencing similar problems.
thanks Max
Only thing I've noticed so far is that if you drag slowly In some applications (like the browser, doesn't matter which browser I'm using) it doesn't scroll at all... but in the settings menu I can swipe downwards as slow as I want to, so I guess what I'm experiencing is software related...
What I really want to know is if I'm alone, or if there has noticed the same thing
Sent from a dumb phone
with my IcS... ive noticed that certain parts of my screen at the randomest times will stop recognizing input.... for me this happens exactly at the O and N key... after leaving it for a few seconds... it starts working again so not much of an issue to me...
there is an app in market place called touchscreen booster... maybe apply that and see if that helps u change the sensitivity...

thanks for the advice danial.aw. I tried your method, but the only touchscreen booster app i found in the market was for SGS, so that hadn't had any effect
Keeps annoying me buying a 500$ phone that has such a crappy touchscreen...
Sounds to me like you might have a faulty unit if it's bad with both stock and custom ROMs. Never had any issue with mine.

Not a clue I'm afraid. Always worth asking them I suppose.
well yes it says thats its for SGS only... but the app worked on my Atrix when i had it... so im assuming it might actually help more phones than that... try it out and see...
Doesn't make any difference no matter what i set in the app. I will drive to a store today to see if it might be subjective but I don't think so.
Edit: well it's not only subjective, I'll give the warranty a try, lets see how the will react
wooh got all of my money back, I'm moving to WP7 now. Android hasnt persuaded me...maybe again when 4.0 comes out.

God WP7 is woeful, the mango update had better fix/add a lot of features...
No I've tested the one from my sister for already two months and I'm very content with WP7. A Phone should be fast and I'm not really into Apple's politics.
You will be in microsofts politics though. WP7 is as closed down as ios. At least with apple you get a good warranty service.

Hi, i recently switched to Cyanogen, and love the OS so much, but it seems the sensors not working proper..
My son loves playing that temple run game, and before i installed cyanogen it worked great, but now when he plays the person running is on the right side of screen even when on flat table, idk how to sort it, and ive tried reading all over the net, i hope someone can assist.. tyvm..
SO when playing Temple Run with phone upright with the person running is stuck to the right, and same in all sensor apps..
I have the latest stable mod, and the LG Optimus 2x from FIDO..
I have also tried the figure eight, and tried using compass apps to calibrate, but still no go.. Plz help someone..
thx so much.. I appreciate all the effort to assist me..
Try to flash latest temaseks kang. I had this problem on some roms with lg p500, on orange boston too, hd2 too.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA
and fyi, the sensor works fine on Owain's domination. I ran Temple Run as a test too.
Thx so much for the replies...
and yes xtrustkillx, i have issues on those games as well..
I am going to try flashing that different rom, and hopefully that sorts things..
If anyone else has any idea's please do feel free to assist I am very grateful for all the assistance..
and aragorn7, tyvm for your reply.. I was reading around and i see that is another very good looking rom, so hopefully one of those two new roms the replies have shown me will assist me with this problem.. thx again..
I have this problem with any kind of rom or kernel , I`m on stock based rom now , Django Manouche but any kernel I try or rom, I have the same problem , I see this in gallery as well or any kind of games or apps that use gyro sensor. Is there any way to calibrate it from hidden menu or something else? :|
yes i hear that forforce
I have now tried a few alternate cm7 roms, and still same problem, it's a very weird problem as in Temple Run the runner is just off to the right, and yet still runs stait if u leave in on flat surface.. so idk whats goin on.. it's drivin my son nuts though.. lol
any help anyone?? i've tried flashing other roms, but still having same problem? thx for your help..
I would suggest nvflash v10b rom, root it and flash latest cm7 kang and etana kernel.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA
thx for the reply, i tried it now finally, and yet still same problem, i dont understand what happened, i can't even flash my stock backup as it just givs me a bootloop..
its very weird though, cause its liek the sensor is just off to the right a bit, as when playing temple run or similar, the runner will still run in a strait line, he is just off to the right of the screen instead of in the center, and i cant figure out what to do to sort it..
I hope one of you very smart individuals will figure out a fix.. thx for all the help..
My guess is that trere is different filesystem on stock. I have tried installing a bunch of apps and find out that advanced bubble level allows to calibrate but dunt know if on system level too. You must try on your own.

thx again for all the help..
Hello everyone,
I sent my O2x to LG for being repaired and they changed its "logical board" so that it's actually a new phone with the old Gingerbread LG system.
Since I'm going to let my sister use it, I wanted to leave stock firmware that is a bit less hard to manage than CyanogenMod (for her, she's at her first droid, but the tempation to give CM10 a go is way too strong to resist, I'm afraid), but I unexpectedly found out that there isn't any brightness control or screen timeout, they are just unabled.
Before sending it to the assistance, I noticed that only with CyanogenMod firmwares I got that control and it was working, but now I'm afraid is a LG thing, since even with a new phone this setting is unabled.
Any advices on how to enable it?
Thanks for help

I have recently upgraded my LG Optimus 4X HD to Jelly Bean, android version 4.1.2, kernal version 3.1.10. I have been receiving some display issues frequently without interacting with the phone. I would like to know if anyone else is having this problem and the solution for this issue.
When the issue occurs, i usually restart my phone so there are no problems with the pixels. I can still interact with my phone normally when this issue occurs as well, but i usually restart it immediately.
Any suggestions?
And thanks for all answers
Maybe you just need to reset your phone from recovery and clear cache partition.. When upgrading from one platform to newer it is wise to go with phone reset, many people do not do this because of bunch of applications and games and they do not have problems or lags or something similar..but rest of the people does.. And maybe is just bad flash, try to reflash..
Hmmm ..but it does not look good..it looks like classical pc vga artifacts from overheated gpu.. ( i do not say that it is! )

I would first try something quick and simple. Try reflashing firmware and if you can do a full factory reset.
Or load up the built in recovery by turning the phone off. Then turning it back on with volume down and power. Release the power when you see the screen come on (keep holding volume down)
In the recovery use the volume keys to highlight the options and power to select.
Highlight factory data reset and then highlight wipe NVpartition. Then reboot

Did you resolve screen issue?
i think anyone will notice that major bug sooner or later with lg's linux kernel 3.1.10
might be triggered by an overheated or overclocked gpu which can result into displaying errors.
i noticed the area around the back camera/lg logo gets very hot and also on the oppsite side on the display.
but it only seems to happen when charging the phone, the graphics chipset is working and you are not using the phone. (but why should the graphics be active when not using the phone/display is off???)

Had the same issue with V20, had to roll back to V10H for now. Any updates on resolving the issue?
Thanks
I have tried factory restoring my phone, wiped NVpartition and cache, and the problem still has not been resolved.
The only time when the display does not screw up is when my phone is plugged into my computer. Maybe the battery takes part in this issue as well as the gpu?
I'll try and do something with the kernel and android version after i read up some threads about them because i have no idea on how to downgrade, etc.

There is also another way through LG Flash Tools, but i cant seem to find the thread for it right now.

Are you suffering from the same problem as i am? LG Optimus 4X HD display issues?
I eventually stopped trying with flashing, etc, and i really do think my graphics card is faulty so i sent it back to Kogan where i bought it from.
They replied that the repairs should take at least 21 days.. looks like im stuck with my old Nokia X6 for the time being.
