Hello!
I'm gonna buy a new phone, but idk when. I think I'm gonna buy the LG O2X, though after reading all the problems with it, I'm not sure.
I have heard troubles like:
Shuts down and reboot randomly.
Shows wrong battery percent left.
WiFi stops to work when you turn it on after sleep.
I also heard about 2 people who had their LG out in the sun, when it was like 20-25 degrees and it started to reboot every 2 minute.
If the phone didn't have all these problems, I would definitely get it. But that's apparently not the case.
Damn, this is driving me crazy, I can't decide whether I should get it or not. Please help me.
All the things you've listed are software, the first CM7 nightly is currently building. That said I've not had mine's been mostly fine. No wifi issues, only had odd battery behavior when trying new kernels. Have had a couple of overnight reboots, but not for about 5 days.

Thanks!
I know that the problems I listed is problems with the SW, and can be solved. But the problem about their phone did reboots every 2 minute when they had it outside in the sun. Is the problem I most worry about, since it doesn't sounds like problems with the SW.
I'm not gonna change ROM or something. Since I don't wanna loose my warranty.
And LG doesn't seems to solve problems that quickly, correct me if I'm wrong.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997705, I read a few pages there, so many seems to have trouble with it. So I really don't know what I should do.
Every 2 minutes? Weird lol. My o2x was right next to me while I was lying in the sun all the time during the easter holidays. No such probs here, actually none of the probs you mentioned. If you get one with constant freezing you can always get an exchange, you know

Sounds good. I guess you're right about exchanging. But I wanna save myself the trouble.
Any software changes you make can be reversed easily enough for warranty purposes.

Alright, that's good. But having to change ROM, to get a good working phone doesn't seems right.
How is the phone at browsing? I've heard that the text isn't best on O2X.

correct
you can go stock and all is fine.- do not read all those reviews..about rebootings, lags..
I had stock for couple of days and it was very smooth, all fine, no lags, no reboots, then MoDaCo and even this was great.

Sounds like your friends' phones could have errant processes running in the background and the extra heat from the sun could have pushed the phones into instability.
Ask them to install "Watchdog Task Manager Lite" to monitor the processes running on their phones. If they can track down which app processes are the culprits, they should try to delete or modify the app settings to quieten down their errant behaviours. This should help with the "every 2 mins in sun reboot" issue.

I read about this problem in a forum. But thanks for the "Watchdog Task Manager Lite" tip, I guess it could be handy when I get a android phone. If it will be LG O2X, we'll see.
If you are a non-hacker type person, and just want to use the phone straight out of the box, it might be prudent to avoid most, if not all, of the dual-core phones for now. I think the designers and programmers are still trying to iron out the kinks with the new dual-core phones. IMHO, a fast single-core Android phone might probably be a more fuss-free phone straight out of the box than dual-cores currently.

Well, I don't change phone that often, so I wanna have future proof phone that isn't too expensive. And I believe this is that phone.
I'm pretty sure I can root it and change rom. But... I'm too afraid I might mess it up.
In forums like these you will mostly read about the issues that some are having, because people tend to seek out these forums when they disover isues - the wast majority may not have any issues and dont post in forums like these. So regardless of which device you get, you will allways find alot of forum posts dealing with whatever bugs some users are facing. The number of issues and error posts for the LG isnt really that big, nothing out of the ordinary, and nothing you wont see just as many or more for ANY other device out there - single core or dual core.
Basically dont get scared off by these but only use it as a guide to perhaps seek for specific bugs which you would not be able to live with untill they get fixed by the manufacturer.
I have 2 LG optimus - one for myself and one for my teenager son
Both bought on the same day 6 weeks ago.
Mine has run completely stable and "errorfree" since day one - not a single random shutdown or lockup bsod - no issues with wifi, 3g or anything - has worked with every single app I tried, no batterydrain (easily get 2 days worth) etc. etc.
They are running completely stock with the only change being a different laucher (GO launcher) to solve the micro stutter in swyping between homescreens which the standard LG launcher has (just a very minor software issue).
The only issues I have left are 2 known issues - which for certain will be solved by some new LG update. One is the lag that happens while installing a new app from market - the other is the memory management which isnt completely optimised causing free memory to sometimes run a litle lower than wanted.
If you arent unlucky and get hit by the random shutdowns and bsod that some users are facing - then you do get a very nice future proof phone that isnt too expensive, and does most things pretty good allready - and will only get better as updates arrives
Imho, rooting and new roms arent really needed, allthough a nice possibility for those that like to tinker and tuning their devices as much as possible - but even without doing so, you will get a nice phone.
I'm planning to get one too so I just started to visit O2X threads. Currently on Motorola Milestone, but I'm sick of it's low RAM. Every new game is force closing. I'll wait for it to get cheaper in my country .

You're probably right. I've read alot of threads. It's so weird, some have many problems with the phone and some have not. I really don't wanna have problems with reboots and wifi.
I'm still not sure if I should get it or not. I don't really see any other future proof alternatives in the same price range. The SGS2 is too expensive.
This is definitely not easy, maybe I should wait and see if they fix all problems. But IDK which phone I should get instead.

I've seen some reviews of SGS2 and it seems laggier than O2X. First I noticed that in Shrek Kart video (I've seen SGS2, than compared to O2X), after that it seemed that SGS2's launcher is laggy too -.-' ... maybe I just watched fake/bad reviews ^^.
Well i had phone for around 2 weeks and have not had any of the reboot issues as for batt draining if u ture of back ground data then this reduces it massivly, the handset is on of the best around. As for LG not doing update to solve problems i think that is unfair they do seem to be listerning with in a few days of me gettting hand set went from 10b to 10d. So i would say that if you want future proof device then this is the one and if you want game then its a no brainer

Alright. I think I'll get the O2X then. Though, I'm not gonna get it before they fixed these problems.
I read in a review that the OS takes about 300 mb ram.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/07/lg-optimus-2x-review/
So I have about 200 mb free for my apps. That doesn't sound much, but maybe it's enough? Well, this is going to be my first smartphone, so I don't really know how much RAM app takes.

don´t worry about that this phone has more you need..
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.

I apologize in advance for asking a question that has no doubt been asked on here before and posted but I cant find my answer. I just recently came to Motorolla from HTC because I needed to switch to Verizon for work and the D3 was perfect. After looking around on here and on the CM site Im still very confused...Is there a CM download (preferably CM7.1) for the D3 or are people just trying to make something work on it. Im not even rooted yet because if I cant get CM Im not sure I even want to. If anyone can answer this for me and direct me to a download it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all and I apologize again for asking a dumb question.
Yes Hashcode has a cm7 download in the Droid 3 developers forum....it's still got a few minor bugs but overall it's awesome I've been running it for quite sometime now...I don't have a link but look in the dev forum...good luck.

It, most certainly, is good enough to be used as a daily driver. I have been using it since he was able to work out the audio bugs. Around 11/15. It does take some setting up, but well worth it. Just read the thread and Hash's blogspot, you should find everything you need there. Good Luck!

Both SD cards are working in both CM7 and CM9. It's their naming convention that throws people off:
/emmc is the internal emmc storage area (called "/sdcard" in the stock ROM)
/sdcard is the actual sdcard (it's called "/sdcard-ext" in the stock ROM)
And actually the camera will work. The hardware camera does not, but there are a couple software cameras from the market that will. I use camera zoom fx. With very little problems. If you're like me and the camera isn't that big of a deal, these soft cams will work good enough.

What do you mean the hardware camera doesn't work and software camera does?
For any camera soft to work the hardware has to be working...

If so, then the camera works, just the default app does not...
Is this what you mean? If so, then great... If not, what're you sayin'?

I like ProCapture. You can either buy it from the market or do some Google searching to "try it before you buy". (But I really suggest buying it if you like it.)

1. Should work fine with both ICS and JB, changes in 4.1 were not that great for the apps not to work.
2. Most likely a bad download, try downloading again.

Hey, just a heads up on my experience with JB/UltimateN7000. My advice is don't do it..
I had the latest ICS stock German version with root, and mostly everything was acceptable. Default Samsung home screen was very smooth at first, but as I install apps (about 20 apps, no games) and use it more, it gets slow after about a week. Then I install Nova Launcher, and it's much better (smoother and responsive) than the Samsung launcher, but it feels slow time by time as if the device is already showing it's age. (I bought this for $600 in April 2012, and it already has 3 tiny cracks on the thin rim that wraps the screen, never been dropped, no scratches anywhere.)
I keep hearing about how JellyBean is wonderful and all, the awesome project Butter, and that it's going to be the true cure to make everything fast and smooth, competitive enough against Windows Phone and iPhone.
This is the same promise that ICS had when we were on Gingerbread. Lack of hardware acceleration on the graphics was the explanation back then. Even after ICS, it's still not as smooth as the competitors even with superior hardware.
I installed this XXLSC based Ultimate N7000 (had stock leaked JelleyBean for couple days before), I'm sorry to say this, but the performance really sucks. I understand that it could be due to this being a leaked ROM, but I'm kind of worried about this device's future. I wonder how are you guys are using your devices with leaked JellyBean.
What's with the lock screen, the overwhelming ink drop effect? The hardware is clearly lacking, but why are they (Samsung) trying to shove stuff in?
What's with the the pull down (notification) menus' small buttons on the top - springing back every single time wasting CPU cycles?
The dialer still takes 2-3 seconds to pull up. Opening contacts, or switching to recent call history tab makes me hesitate because it takes so damn long. This was a problem also in ICS.
Did you guys try the Camera app? Try taking a picture, and then try to review the picture you just taken. How long does it take? Mine takes about 30 seconds, and it lags horribly while doing all that. Now try that on a iPhone, it takes less than 10 seconds, and no stutter at all. (No, I hate iPhone's closed eco system so no thanks.)
It's like playing a FPS shooter game with high quality graphics/every effect enabled but only at 15 FPS, when it could play 30 FPS with lower graphics quality/effects. (I would much prefer at least 60 FPS though.)
I'm going back to my ICS stock backup for now, and maybe later on when Samsung releases JellyBean, and some developer makes a lean version, or do it myself, and I'll try it again.
It's just sad to see that a relatively powerful dual core phone is too slow to function satisfactory these days.
Lastly, thanks to the developers, and sorry for the vent. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to mock you or anything. I really do appreciate you and every other developers out there.

That's why i ALWAYS go AOSP. Never had such problems, even in beta/experimental releases of CM. Anyway, hope OP has resolved his problems already.

The only thing am waiting for is project butter. Until then I too are sticking with ICS.

Hello
because my Touchpad, running CM9, got slower and slower I decided to clean it and put an Update on it.
I need a stable (as possible) ROM with working camera, wi-fi, sound and video acceleration. Bluetooth would be nice but not necessary.
I don't need new apps from newer versions, etc.
It's a 32 GB Version.
Which ROM would you suggest me and where to get it+gapps?
Thanks in advance!
With kind regards
Cosy
The I would suggest that you view the development thread where you will see the different roms for this device and links to gapps or whatever else you may need will be available in the Opening Post what people want or need is down to the user. There you will be able to read individual comments about what does or doesn't work and be able to make your own informed decision.
There are numerous development threads and I don't know which to read.
In addition I can't read a thread holding 250 pages of posts just to pick a ROM.
A little hint would be nice.

Here's a hint I'm using Milaq's KK Rom and you don't need to read 250 pages just the op and the last few or more if you feel like it.
But it comes down to you making an informed decision.

I would need the same, and I dont see a reason why you guys that tried all the roms could simple write down a version thats stable and functional, I dont care if its NAdroid 4.2, or 4.3. or 4.4, I just need a functional tablet that has a functional Skype, Netflix and wifi.
Is that a big problem to write, I dont have hours and hours of time to searc (which is useless) to figure out which rom. A small baby at home, work I have everyday, and really not spare time to waste on research.
I apologize in advance if someone gets ofended, but at the time when I was a kid I would spend hours messing online, now I dont have that anymore.
On topic - my biggest issue that the tablet is draining battery like crazy, and is totally glitchy, slows down, all though everything works, but slow and battery is ridiculous.

Well if you read my post which you have quoted you'll see that I did make a recommendation but if you you're after someone to wipe your bottom and put a cookie in your mouth it won't be me. It's the arrogance of people like yourself that makes me wonder why I or anybody else bothers to try and be helpful.
Have a nice weekend I know you've p***ed me of.

No check it yourself or ask someone that you haven't insulted.
And I would be obliged if you can stop quoting me. I really don't want anything to do with you especially as you are still taking the p***.

do you know if it's possible to upgrade directly from cm9 to cm10.1 (no wiping)?
