I guess for the o2x are more roms available. Its a realy nice phone actually!

O2X for now.
Samsung phones have advantage as they release some source codes.
The best is to check cyanogen's website, if there is a cyanogen the phone is usually well supported by devs.
We have cyanogen for arc its just complications thats all
If I get LG o2x all I need to do is root then cmw then put a Rom on is it that easy or have u got to open bootloader or any thing

I thought xperia arc's cyanogen was ported by someone else?
Locked bootloader is a bad idea for a flasholic
For Optimus Black, it is still fairly new; but the bootloader isn't locked so it shouldn't have major issues.
Arc -> Black looks like a major downgrade to me
STAY AWAY FROM LG !!
If you are flashaholic, HTC is the way. Or Samsung. Or anything else...
DO NOT BUY LG!
Why not? I think that if you do want to flash different ROM's, then LG O2X is a great phone. It's the stock rom that's causing trouble.

i recommend you to try the lg optimus 2x. is by two time much powerful and open to the development then lg Black.
Is LG really that bad I like HTC alot coming from dhd but just fancy a change

Compared to Black it is "newer", if you think about the hardware. If you are thinking of release-date, Black is newer - but not on the inside.
Yea I was thinking more the hardware side of Things

Hello
My query is slightly weird
I would like to if it is possible to increase on board ram on o2x to 1gb by opening up the phone and replacing the ram
I presume it is not that easy but could give a new life to o2x

No sorry, you cannot do that.

I believe there is a thread about upgrading RAM in the "Upgrading Unlocking and Modifiying" in either the android or general forums (please don't scream at me if I'm wrong).
Last time I went in that thread I think it was said that it was "theoretically " possible but it has yet to be done.

Tegra is a SoC, which means the RAM is built into the chip. You would have to solder out the chip and put one with more RAM into there. And I guess you would also have driver problems.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda app-developers app
Hello,
I understand the soc stuff and that i need to solder memory but why there would be driver issues
Is it not like use what is there
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
Just forget it.
If the RAM is on the SoC, you can not upgrade that SoC, you would need a new one.
And there is probably no SoC, that uses the same pin layout and such.
The drivers are built into the kernel, so you would need to built your own kernel - just in case you have any drivers.
Look at the ICS thread ... we are still waiting for these drivers to get CM9/10 working.
Do you hate/love your Optimus 2X? why?I am going to buy a used one
Optimus 2X's RAM wasn't enough for daily use, it cause LAGGY on using, it annoys.
Sri Lanka should had a better model on sale?

many phones in that price range are like optimus 2X. They all have a 512MB of RAM .
Sri Lanka has many other better models and this meets my budget
OT i'm thinking that its because of our SoC most of the phone with tegra have problem

do you face any problems with your P990 ?
the restart issue i think specially when im using stock gb
but i think tegra is one of the best like tegra 4 rumor that include the keplar gpu someday tegra will dethroned qualcom for best soc? but only problem is close source
i love this phone one of the best but not software support
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
I love this phone, but i hate LG for the lack of software update..
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
what did you mean by no software support? no ICS yet? is that the bad software support you people are talking about?
I really love it. I don't care for official GB and ICS. Official roms are crap anyway.
It does what it's supposed to do for me - accept calls, shoot video and photos, browse the net, read books, write emails, write some documents and that's pretty much what I want from a smart phone. I've optimized it so that there is no lag for my daily use. And all this productivity I bought for about $180. How can I not be happy?
Personaly i like the 2X but i was disapointed by the fact that the updates don't want to follow.
No official ics, no functionnal JB....
The milestones are never reached and this mobile seams to be unknowed.
2 years after, the S2 is stil sold everywhere but not the 2X.
2X p990 got the Jellybean 4.1 Cyanogen update recently

A rom that doesn't permit to call is not a rom.
The initial function of a phone is to be able to call, not to pray before each call to be able to hear anything.
i always say my relationship with this phone is love,hate,love
its my 1st android, it has a really cool hardware, bad software support from lg, GREAT DEVELOPERS!!! (this one is the most important thing)
in fact i love my phone the 80% of the time the other 20% i hate it lol
Was happy for it but will probably change once nexus 4 comes out, it gets slow way too fast on any rom

Don't know how you use it, but with propper ROM RAM/Kernel is enough even for some of tegra 3 games, especially for daily use..

For how long did you have yout O2x ? I recon i will never come back to LG like thousands of unhappy costumers, who bought FLAGSHIP phone and got just dumped .. I would wait for Motorolla Nexus, they will be open source.. Wouldn't be nice if you spend 300$ and wait another 2 years for next ROM.. I think android users ain't that stupid to buy "new" model of crappy phone every year (like apple fans do) In my opinion, the best way is to wait for something really nice comming out..
It's a great budget phone, if you can't find a galaxy S2 for the same money then go for it, root it and flash either the gueste or the django manuche roms (try them both) but don't stay with stock (official) rom. Imagine I flashed a new rom the first day i bought my one x and I never regretted it cause it had a huge difference, stock roms suck.

advice ?? Buy it or not to buy it? I was thinking to go for a Xperia sola new one if not the optimus 2X 2nd hand one.
Sola doesn't have a gyroscope and HDMI. But I need 'em
if you want secondary camera, bigger screen and 1080p video go for o2x
i recommend to you to watch a youtube video review about xperia sola to decide and read in xperia sola section here in xda for background and users feedback

I have also check that when that happens i have a change in my access point tab.The default tab is changed from internet to wap
Has anyone came across with this problem ?

Go back to GB and let know whether the issue persists?
And next time if you've any queries/issues open thread in either Question Answer or in General Section.
Best wishes.

You believe that it was due to geographical weeknes in the signal or due ics/phone ?Mine happens in a place where me reception is great
Hello folks. I have been comparing the two devices and they seem to be pretty much identical hardware and software wise. The only difference being the screen resolution and format. They run on the same SoC , same camera modules , I imagine same modem too. Any development done for the 4x should be pretty easy to port over to the p895 , similar to what happened with the xperia X10mini and X8 ( The only difference between the two was the screen resolution. The two phones shared a subforum , resources and dev's). Hopefully this thread grabs the attention of others interested in the p895 and reveals a possible cooperation between users of both devices. I will look more into this after I get my phone back from service.
P895 have 4G LTE
Sorry about my bad English
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
No they don't. I have one. It is the same device as the 4X. That is probably the Verizon version or some Korean only model. The international one uses the Tegra 3 SoC and has no 4G.
The xperia x8 was my phone before this. Damm life was easy back then(atleast when it comes to the bootloader)

yep, but we've had oc, uv,ext3/4-support,dualtouch, cwm, custom roms even with locked bootloaders
so why not here too? we 'just' need a skilled dev to work on it
We have a "skilled" dev to work on it. BUT, it would not harm if we had 50 skilled devs or even some help from LG to work on it. I mean, the 4X was never sold in massive quantities like the s3
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Both the Vu p895 and 4X didn't sell as much as other phones. Maybe it would be for the best to officially add the Vu p895 to the current subforum , more attention can't possibly hurt.

I'm really sad because i can't find the specified forum thats explore the P895.
Or maybe the custom rom, etc from 4xhd could be applied on p895?
