Guys i recommend not to buy this phone as lg is really very slow in upgrading its devices so be warned before buying
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
well, lg already released an update for this phone, V10b...
Like your name says ... GOTCHAAAAAA!!! (Got You!)
I think LG is really trying to change things ...
It's worth trying.
Does the recent firmware update fix the autofocus problem when recording videos? Also, is the audio quality really as bad as gsmarena is saying?
There are still Problems with the autofocus.
10B just changed the tegra3 usage... at least ... this is what I saw.
Next update should come in near future (said LG Korea)
from my optimus 2x scenario's I would never buy another LG phone, I currently have a HTC one X, that runs flawlessly.
I went back to my original O2x the other day to see how it was, and It was diabolical, slow laggy loss of signal, terrible battery, 3g drop all the time ahahah terrible, and that was stock rom from LG, its been out for over a year now and they still havn't fixed the problems.
Good luck to the brave people who buy an LG
LG did say they will guarantee updates for all compatible phones
Can't post link but from TechRadar:
Back in February at MWC 2012, we spoke to LG regarding the Jelly Bean update and the manufacturer confirmed it would guarantee an upgrade to Android Jelly Bean for all compatible 2012 handsets.
We will have to wait and see if it delivers on that promise.
Update: A spokesperson for the firm has told TechRadar: "LG will continue to support the latest android platforms, across LG devices however at present an exact date is not yet confirmed."

Personally i'd like to see manufacturers offering the customer a choice when updates aren't possible of either switching to the latest, vanilla Android or remaining with the skinned version.
In theory every Android phone should be able to run vanilla Android?

Will third party video recording apps like this one fix the autofocus problem of the O4X?
I wait on my LG, was hard get my hands on a White atm. where i live..
And i have hox and also use my s3 right now, still i realy like that New LG.
What i realy did like on the LG was the screen, just that was worth get one.
But for them who get a phone to have for long time maybe it is risky if they dont do updates. For myself i am just happy if it works for some time till something New comes ..

It is worth buying in my opinion! I've had mine for some days now and it's wonderful.
The screen is GREAT. The phone is very fast, haven't noticed any lag yet. The only problem that I've found is the annoying autofocus when you record video. But that's it so far.
Mistaken beliefs
Hi all,
I've read the previuos post and i disagree.
I've had a LG O2X, my experience is very very good.
It 'true that the updates to LG were not good and fast, but from my direct experience I believe that this model has been among the most well-supported by the community.
With a custom ROM and a good baseband O2X it's an awesome smartphone!
I bought a 4x optimus 7 days ago and the only thing I can say is: awesome!!!
There's no comparison with SG3, in particular the screen is something impressive.
And all benchmarks against Exynos are not very representative, then we must actually see when using what are the pros and cons.
As regards the updates I also sincerely hope that LG has changed and offering a better service.
Otherwise I'm sure the community will surprise us as he did with O2X.

+1 - the 4X is brilliant. And since the v10b update 2weeks ago it's no longer hot and lasts longer. HIGHLY recommended.

If you install a third party video recording app, will it fix the autofocus problem?
This device is very fast. It has no problem with working with any aplication. No lag. I recomend to buy. I had xperia p,s it was terible...

Interesting, the Tegra 3 devices (One X and 4X) both use kernel version 2.6.39.4 while the Galaxy S3 uses the 3.0.15. Is there any significant change between those two kernels?
Hi,
look at this and you know why 3.0 Kernel didn't work with Tegra 3 :silly:

Did LG already mention Jelly Bean for the 4X somewhere? I just assume, that they'll offer it ... it'd be very weird not to on such a new phone and with the big improvements of Jelly Bean.
Our 4X needs unlocked bootloader, we'll have full working CM10 then
Heard somewhere LG phones will get JB at the beginning of 2013...
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
If not there is always CM10, I'm stoked about getting that loaded on my phone
No official JB for this phone, LG`s reputation will surely drop down to zero.
Let`s hope they won`t make the same mistake.
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
i was told by a LG Rep that it could get Jelly Bean, but who knows maybe if CM 10 is on the phone it might be more stable

looking professionally on their stocks, their display division already lost 60% of their stock value comparing about 12-14 months back, so currently LG is no good investiment at all.
but on the topic of development, LG decided to put alot more effort into licencing security and abuse, so upgrading the o4x platform is a little bit more work probably comparing to other vendors which looks a little more western on their opensource and openminded politics.
remember that LG comes from a society where dupe's are all around and copyrights on copycats are important piece of their product. so their social thinking is far from openminded since their daily spirit in a sharing community is totally black and filled with copycat clones and people stealing other developers work and companies selling cheap fake models.
LG got too much asian culture where some of the others like samsung got more western like appreciation, although being 100% Korean

We will get another small 4.0.3 update (V10e) and later in Q4 JB.
They should start offering a possibility of unlocking the bootloader. Even Motorola now offers a way to unlock on their website now!

Hmm, if they do the updates in the same time manner as on the Optimus 2X then you should have Jelly Bean on your phone sometimes in Q3-Q4 2013

Is the message, that o4x will get JB in Q4 trustful? I didnt really find anything on internet that would confirm it.
I'm seriously thinking about buying o4x, I love design, UI and stuff, but I'm scared of bad support.. Should I buy it?

Not that bothered about JB to be honest. I rarely keep a phone longer than a year, so I'll be onto JB (or newer) on some other device before too long.
Hello dears,
I write here for the first time in LG 4X forum and I don't want people those who already bought this device to misunderstand me please
the device is really equipped with the latest and fastest hardware at factories,
But..
LG as company is not new, it was (Gold Star) company and replaced the complete ID of the cheap company with Gold Star with LG as new brand.
and the new department decides to get the latest in the market and hit it with the newest electronic weapons as your 4X
I got a past trying with LG devices, with P990 and P999 (G2X) it was really perfect as hardware but as software, it is still with GB v2.3.5 as the final stock ROM from LG, start from v2.2
I don't why LG can't support her devices to the latest software at google android !!!
So the point that I want to reach here is:
Don't expect LG to support your device to the latest ROMs of android, it will stop at 4.1.1 or 4.2 and stop there then you will see the support from MIUI or CM team, but not LG and will face ton's of change log's and (what working) (what is not)
LG is good for short month's of usage but not for long time.
Hope LG support department read this thread and try to support the software teams in the future.
hope you got what I means
Regards

I disagree. It looks to me that LG won't even update our 4x to jelly bean.
Lg are bunch of noobs.
To lg - if you are planning to fight with the likes of Samsung/HTC - offer same type of service. Like Unlock tool for the bootloader. Or unlocked boot loader from factory. At least that way we can make our own way into future updates...
I hate myself for buying a lg! Wasn't even aware of locked boot loader. Next time I will sniff around1000 times before deciding to buy a lg.

Fixes are fine by my book, ICS is already a very good platform to use. Sure, JB brings more improvements but it is game changing compared to GB to ICS.
Can you show me the fix list? I've searched a lot on google but no one seems to have it..
Perhaps we can hope that lg will upgrade the 4x hd directly to Key Lime, if the rumors about a sonn-to-come Optimus Nexus are true...

1. LG Optimus Nexus is not a rumor, but true
2. Yeah, maybe they're working about something (i'm f*ckin optimistic)
Although, LG's software support is crap, i'd still choose their Hardware over HTC's. And, just being chose by Google as the manufacturer for their new flagship device...LG will hopefully get more love by devs. The Optimus 4x HD is a true beast, it's a shame that LG won't unleash its true capabilities. I've been contemplating in whether to get an O4x HD (price is soooo cheap) or just wait for the LG Nexus G (which is most likely what im guna do). Either way, my next phone will be an LG. For some reason, i've becomed very bored with Samsungs, especially with my S3.
LG is going to make a conference on 24-25 oct, hope we'll get some infos about updates
http://lgepr.lge.com/CommonEmailPopup.laf?pageFlag=Notice&sendId=2698*
LG need to much time, they will update.
LG published their update plan for Jelly Bean.
http://www.lgnewsroom.co.kr/contents/12971
And yes... no word about 4X
If 4X don't get Jelly Bean, it will be my first and last LG phone
I really don't know what to do. Sell my LG? But for the money I'll get, there is no much alternative devices with similar features that I can buy now...
But stay for next 2-3 years with ICS on 4X is no option either. Hardware is ok, but maybe android 4.3 will have really cool features and we will never get it on our devices. It's really frustrating.

IF lg unlocks the bootloader for us, that will not be a problem.
IF lg keeps the bootloader locked and then shows a crappy update plan with no ICS/android 4.3 i will buy a new phone and give this to my friend or something....
Well it this is the case that we will not got JB or more updates, iam gonna get bored in some point... then a new phone or superduper htc HD2 back, and this one starts acting as a bar phone
The reputation of LG was already below zero after they leaved 2X die. Normally, nobody should buy their phones after they do same thing with 4X.. They really should think long time about their crappy marketing strategy.

This has to be an over site. I just got mine so i'm okay with it for now (that will last a couple weeks, lol).
With the Optimus LTE II getting it, it would make no since that we won't.
Just unlock the bootlaoder and XDA will take care of the rest.

Yeah, there's no mentioning of the 4X. And that's because it is a korean update plan. As far as I know there is no 4X in korea, so nothing to update. With the LTEII getting JB i'm pretty positive that the 4X will be the next one, at least in Europe.

LG sucks
LG will announce an update for our 4X in Europe because there's no 4Xs in Korea
Made possible by my sexy LG Optimus 4X HD (P880)
I can't see them announcing a 4X JB update in Europe before the new flagship Optimus G is released. They'll be eating into their own sales by promoting an older device.
Be patient, I'm sure the 4X is further down the schedule

Imo i dont mind not getting JB on my 4x. See guys, ics will still be the majority of the android system and app support for it wouldnt disappear until quite sometime later.
And even by the time ics is really becoming obsolete how old do you think your phone will be? There will be new hardware by then or anyone on the general market wouldnt be even using the phone anymore by then.
I'm speaking as a general user who treats a phone more as a personalised, friendly thing more than using it for technology development. I think LG is really doing a good job. How my phone now (ics) is fine. I dont really care about not getting JB on this device.
Looking outside of developers circle, i think majority of smartphone users are still those that has little interest in catching up with technology, and has the same purpose of phone as me, using it as a connection, entertainment, tool.
My 2 cents.
Ps i had used samsung android phone before.
Edit. Enjoy more of your time now. Sometimes certain good things are already what you have now. Just forget about not getting the update for a while and take a brand new look into the beauty.

I currently have an HTC Desire S which I have rooted and booted over and over again, from GB all the way up to Jelly-Bean and back again. I have placed an order for my 4X HD and am collecting it on Saturday. I don't really care if it gets upgrades to JB or beyond - this time I want a fast, nice phone which I can just use - this is why I have gone for this rather than other phones. I will keep my DS for playing with and to get my kicks from when I feel the need to play around. I'm quite sure that LG will provide us with upgrades for a while, but as long as I have a fairly vanilla ICS I will be a happy bunny.
it will be updated .....wait and see

We all hope so. But until now we have only this info where 4X is not mentioned.
What has LG from half year old device with locked bootloader? Can someone explain this behavior? I mean, we all know that using unlock tool will void the warranty and only experienced users will do this. Why not let them do what they want?
This is LG Korea they do not have the Optimus 4X in their country, therefore completely ignore this. xD
So we always had a competitor - HTC One X. HTC released official Android 4.2.2 update with updated Sense 5.0 UI. What we will get? Nothing. Thank you LG once again. Last LG phone ever for me. Optimus 4X HD old phone? What about One X?
I knew from the beginning that LG sucks on supporting because I already bought the LG 2x in the past, poorly supported device but, the great performance and build quality brings me back to LG, ginger bread on LG 2x worked spool great and lagless that I was amazed every time I use the phone, now on my 4x I 100 Times more amazed, LG stock roms are almost perfect, y can get 10 hours of battery and only train by 8% and that's great, also the materials used on the phone are great and the performance is very cool, kicking the ass of the galaxy for example, on antutu we get like 1000 points more on cpu and floating cpu point that galaxy s3 and with a custom kernel a modifying the stock gpu frequency we can get a little more score on gpu too... so, there's it nothing that we can do in 4.2.2 that we cannot do in 4.1.2...

for stock android, not much difference. but for lg ui, i would love the new camera interface from 4.2 in optimus g2, and all the new features from the new lg ui version. we seems to forgot that a new android version from the manufacturers is not at all the same as android update, 4.1-4.2 doesn't bring much on the stock version, but for the manufacturers update, there will be a lot of new things. you might call it gimmick features, but that is based on YOUR preferences.
see for yourself what the new version of LG interface will bring. I WANT THAT.. i don't care about the new lockscreen or the multiuser that stock android 4.2 brings.

i am fighting this since i have mi LG 2X...
My point of this post starts at 1:24
when you see others have, you want it too, even if you are in a different situation. If that thing didn't exist in the first place, you wouldn't think of making a noise to have it.
that video remember me to my dogs... my two dogs was the best friends, one was a aleman pastor, and the other was a rottweiler, both played togeter since kids, one day my mom bought the rottweiler a chain, after that the pastor was angry with the rottweiler... extrange? yes... and the rottweiler used to walk slower in front of the pastor like showing his new chain, that makes the pastor more and more anger... the problem was ended when i bought the same chain to the pastor too... Best friends again...
