Hello Everybody
I got an offer for LG Optimus in ebay for a good price.
The offer was well worth when comparing to it's specification.
But, i was searching about the mobile phone in internet to find out any major problems.
And i came across following issues.
Would lose network connectivity frequently for no apparent reasons
constant "Force Closure" messages.
Unstable Gingerbread update process.
On-screen keyboard frozen up occasionally
I heard that if we use LG Updater software, then there is no issues in upgrading to Gingerbread.
And i heard that Gingerbread update completely fixes the phone lockup and reboot problems, is it true ?
There is no GB update out yet....
Most of problems on this device are baseband related, and after 3 baseband update, its still not that good...

It's safe if you're willing to mould it into what you want.
If you want to use it as LG provide it, it's not so good.
Root. And flash a stable rom. Then its verry safe.
The downside is that when u drop it, the screen cracks really fast. The + side is that it is not that difficult to replace the gorilla glass by yourself. There is a nice vid of it on youtube.

Android Gingerbread update has been released for T-Mobile G2X http://www.phonearena.com/news/Gingerbread-update-for-the-T-Mobile-G2x-goes-live_id20543
Isn't T-Mobile G2X and LG Optimus 2X same ?
They're the same in North America, but not the rest of the world.
So, if i buy LG P999, Then is that T-Mobile version?
If so, if i install Gingerbread firmware in T-Mobile version of LG Optimus 2X, then would the major problems be rectified?
P999 is the T-Mobile G2X or the Wind Optimus 2X, the update should indeed help with some things, check out the G2X forum for info.
Had the Optimus 2x by one month and i tell you that i am very satisfied of him. I have a stock room with all the latest updates and i don't have problems of reset or keyboard. IF you don't use it much you can get more then 2 days of battery.
In Europe the T-mobile G2x is not the same with the lg optimus 2x. You probably broke your phone if you update it with the firmware of G2x

im now running FR19 fearkill edition 12.4 with the neoblaze OC kernel.. (smooth as butter)
the DJ droid seems to be a stable rom aswell
(the good thing about this phone is that there are plenty of roms to choose from,
i recommend the fearkill roms. eventually i always got back to them. (never hade anny trouble with them)
Does these Roms preserve LG customizations?
fearkill deleted a couple of them but u can add them. there is a link in his topic where u can download all the lg software and add them to the rom
Golden question - did GB on the G2X fix most issues?

Go ask in the G2X forum?
I think its a good choice, even on stock rom i had no problems butnon CM and Miui i did abit of baseband swapping to find the bestbin for them and everything is fine upgrading basebands has given me better signal..ect

Baseband issues :
- calls quality are really bad (for me)
- lags appears when you install apps : the device becomes totally unusable (im wondering if there is a rom that fix this issue)
- wifi error durring connection establisment/ hspa drops connectivity with NO reason.
- Audio playback may lag quite randomly (probably due to stock rom)
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
The app install lag is gone in CM, and possibly MoDaCo ROMs.
Does anyone know if there is a way to make those stay lit while screen is on?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
For my captivate there was a program called Keep The Lights On to do that. I tried, it doesn't work for the Thrill.
That program was made specifically for that phone by an XDA member. I think something specifically for this phone will need to be made. Maybe there is a program for the optimus 3d that would do it...

I found something in the Optimus 3D app forum. Its called LG 3D Notification, its also in the market. It works for the O3D. Testing it on my Thrill it seems to work intermittently. It does seem to work also as BLN (buttons light up when screen off for notifications), another feature I was missing from my custom captivate ROM.
Maybe a dev familiar with the Thrill could take a look at it, and make it work for us too.

Check over in the O3D forums. There's a thread about build.prop tweaks and one of them is keeping the button lights on while the screen is on.

Have been using this for about 10 hrs. I have found that netflix does work and you can take 3d pictures just cant record 3d video. The other problem I have found is that it doesnt reconize the internal memory only the sd card is detected.
Have started running into an issue when streaming while the device is plugged in it drains the battery and doesnt provide a good charge
Correct me if I'm wrong but its supposed to run off the sdcard isn't it?? And that's all that's holding me back is the 3d camera ill just give it a shot since Netflix is working.

I believe it will only register the external sd card. It wont show the internal. It has been awhile since I used cyanogenmod on a device. but I'm just listing what I have found
It seems to run pretty smooth but none of my 3d stuff is working. I honestly don't use it much but hey if u got it u should b able to use it lol.

You can take 3d stills in the camera one of those options cant remmeber since I went back to stock it will let you take 3d stills
Games do not work (3d and non-3d). The games I tried before reverting:
nfs shift
nova3d
Other issues:
1. freeze reboot once while flipping through home screens
2. 3d didn't work (already known issue)
3. no 4g
On the bright side, it was very quick and snappy AND the bluetooth stack worked. I was able to use Sixaxis pairing working.
I guess I had a bad flash cause I couldn't even take 3d pictures....

Regardless the fact that CM7 is functional at all means good things. Considering their will probably be more devs now that they can work on something else plus there will most likely be an OC kernel to follow shortly. CM7 I think is one of the easier ports for OC Kernels.
I've been running cm7 for a couple days now and I'm so impressed with it I've been putting a lot of time into getting the couple of broken things to work. I'm compiling a Thrill version of the O3D cm7 as we speak. Will report back after its done and I get it flashed.
Cm7 is all I ran on my Aria and Captivate so I'm Determined to see it on the Thrill.

CM7 Works on O3D Version but there are slight differences in Hardware and Software between the O3D and the Thrill. Enough that a few things here and there that function on the O3D don't on the Thrill because of the Government having to make companies "Conform" to US Standards.
ok so mms is working. i got the 3d camera working (it no longer locks up the camera to take a 3D pic) but still no 3D gallery. And still no hdmi output. I also noticed the 3D button does not work, nor do any of the 3D apps.
As far as 4G goes, still no dice. Highest speed I managed was 3.66mb down/1.07mb up. Of course that could just be my area.
I havent tested Bluetooth or GPS yet. Wifi works great. Calls/sms/mms works like normal. Reboot Recovery is working as is the built in CM7 screenshot.
Im thinking that the LG 3D stuff isnt going to work without a kernel that supports it...I'll upload the cm7 and put up a link so people can test the network speeds and try to figure out some of the bugs.

The one thing that keeps me from flashing CM7.
Anyways since you fixed the 3D camera, maybe you should share the info with Ricardo/aremcee.
CM7 Test Build
DO NOT FLASH THIS WITHOUT MAKING A BACKUP FIRST! Im not responsible for anything going wrong with your phone.
Heres a link to download:
download
No Gapps included. No LG apps included. Not fully functioning (see my previous post for whats not working).
This is just a tweaked version of the cm7 Kang over in the O3D forums.
TESTED and WORKING:
Phone
SMS
MMS
WIFI
Camera (2D/3D)
NOT WORKING:
3D Gallery (3D pics show up as double frames. Gallery itself works fine)
LG 3D Stuffs
HDMI output
4G (someone verify this?)
NOT TESTED:
Bluetooth
GPS
Video Camera (2D/3D)
I updated skype today and video calls appeared in skype dialog. For now, because of froyo 2.2 only Back Camera works
Finally time to update and see if it works with both on v20e.
Video calls now available on the following:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (T-Mobile)
HTC SHOOTER (KDDI)
Sony Ericsson Xperia Live with Walkman
Sony Ericsson Xperia neo V
Acer Iconia Tablet (A500)
LG Optimus Black LANDSCAPE ONLY
LG Optimus 3D LANDSCAPE ONLY
LG Optimus 2x LANDSCAPE ONLY
Motorola Photon
Motorola Droid3 LANDSCAPE ONLY
Motorola Bionic LANDSCAPE ONLY
Motorola Xoom
Motorola Atrix
EDIT: Tested now and both cameras work on V20E. Might be just my device but skype feels slower now after the update and with the cam option activated.
thanks for your information

Doesnt work for me on CM7.
Anyway there's a guy "TheosOo" over the SGS i9000 Forum who keeps taking the original skype code and he releases a custom version of it.

Just a matter of days

This is a test build with work mostly from arcee and a little by myself to get the newest cyanogenmod to work with the radio on the p925 aka LG Thrill. This build has arcee's latest patches for better a2dp and removal of gps logging.
Install the same way you would cyanogenmod. This is a test thread and will be removed once arcee gets the p925 nightlies up and running. Leave any feedback you have below and I will pass them to arcee.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10166016/12302011.0958-Optimus3D-cm7-KANG-signed.zip
arcee has started nightlies for the p925.

Do I install like an update(wipe caches) or do I have to wipe everything and factory reset?
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
if you have the arcee kang build installed than all you have to do is wipe cache. If you are coming from a lg based rom you need to wipe data/cache.
Do we need GB baseband? Also, the link doesn't seem to work.

Of course not. It is made for the thrills current radio. Until LG and AT&T decide to release gingerbread for us we have to have two separate build setups for the p920 and p925.

so sad that in this day and age with ICS out, we are still crying to the bastards(LG and AT&T) for GB release
Hmmm...I really liked CM7 but it tore through battery life way too fast. It's okay while I'm on Christmas vacation but once next week rolls around, there's no way I can have that short of battery life. The longest I was able to hold a charge was 7 hours and that was without using my phone, down to 1 screen, only Gmail and exchange synced, and screen off. I tried 3 different batteries and all the same result.
On the Doomed ROM, I can get 8-10 hours of battery life with making calls, texts, downloading apps, uninstalling apps, playing games, running multiple screens with quite a few things synced, etc

So far looks and runs great! I have what may be a dumb question though, is 3d capability taken out of this cm7 or is there plans to keep 3d. As of now there's no 3d apps and 3d button is now inactive. Great job on this though!

I know he wants to get hdmi working but 3d I am not sure.
The 3D issue is with LGs propriatary 3d software that does not seem to work well with others...
I could honestly care less about 3D. I'd rather see HDMI fixed.
There is no 3d (except in camera, weird) b/c it relies on lg's proprietary 3d framework, and cm7 is built from Google source.

arcee did a good job and showed me how to make it compatible with the old radio.
Installing now, I've tried just about every rom. I'm practically ready to sacrifice 3D and HDMI for something great. Please let this be great...
Please think of 3D in the future as well
EDIT:
So how do I access my internal memory? It will only mount my SD card, and it will not show my internal in Astro.
