Advice about the device - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hey everyone. I'm an Optimus Black owner and I want to exchange it for an O4X. Can anyone give some pros & cons about this device? And I have to say it, please put the "passion" aside and give some cold review.
Thanx in advance!

Well i havent had much experience with it yet, but i can tell you the screen is awesome, the build quality is almost perfect, the sound quality on headphones is good..loudspeaker is bad but unless you re an annoying 14 year old, you wouldnt listen to music on loudspeaker...you might have a little bit of an issue with the locked bootloader but a mod is already working on it and it is expected to be unlocked by late 2012/early 2013..so i read, and lg once replied to a customer (dutch) and said the 4.1 JB was due to be released in january 2013..but i think that was before the release of the optimus G o_o
I think that if you for some reason cant get your hands on a nexus 4 or a galaxy s3, you should go for the 4x :good:

About the display...I love the Optimus Black IPS display. You can use under the sunlight with no visual problems, that's one of the reason to stay with LG's phones. Unfortunately the N4 is not available in Brazil yet...so I can't have it. But it doesn't have SD expansion so it's not my first option. And yes, I have the O4X as option 'cause of the price. It's cheaper than S3 and GORGEOUS.

Reboot problems = incompatibility between Froyo (2.2) and Tegra2 according to LG Aus

"LG Aus irons bugs out of Optimus 2X
World's first dual-core phone on sale downunder.
LG Australia has finally broken its silence over ongoing problems with the Optimus 2X, which Guiness World Records acknowledges as the world’s first dual-core smart phone.
Users overseas and locally who had bought the product through eBay and other online sources reported a number of issues with the phone including random power-offs.
The Korean company subsequently released a patch, however, many users continued to report malfunctions.
LG Australia marketing director Brad Read confirmed that the problems related to the incompatibility of the phone's software – developed with Google’s Android 2.2 Froyo – and the handset's dual core processor.
For several weeks LG Australia’s Facebook page has been peppered with customer complaints, however, LG only acknowledged the problem on the social networking site yesterday.
One reader said he was selling his Optimus 2X for $1 on eBay as a paperweight.
Read, however, said that all of the problems had now been ironed out.
An updated software fix had been installed in phones shipped to Australia with no customers buying locally expected to have any problems.
The Optimus 2X goes on sale this week at Harvey Norman and was expected to soon become available through other outlets including mobile carriers.
Its price tag in Australia would be around $650.
Notwithstanding the software compatibility issues, the Optimus 2X was expected to generate much kudos for LG in the highly competitive mobile phone market, and woo users with its promise of dramatically faster management of mobile apps and downloading of web content."

So it seems to be a driver/kernel/software problem?
But when are we getting it??

Could anyone living in Australia confirm this?
The explanation seems kinda vague to me, not to mention the timing. They say the fix it just in time for the Australian launch? Sounds like a publicity thing to me. People who use custom roms with gingerbread still have the reboot problems, right?

come on...custom rom with gingerbread its very diferrent than stock..dont forget that is CM7 nightly version and it has very different commits and drivers and blah blah..i also suffered by reboot issues in the very first start using nightly cm gingerbread but if you will try the last build you will see that random reboots it has been fixed..at least for me!i dont get any random reboots..!with stock rom also i didnt got even once a random reboot..!
cm7 it has nothing to do with stock froyo and even if when stock gingerbread will be released!
But why should we accept a flagship phone that have known fatal problems?
u know, the price of first batch is about 30% higher than now.
And we always face the sudden dead when charging.
LG should have solved this issue before selling.

man, then u probably could have bought your o2x half a year later. it is obvious, if one looks a the stock software of the o2x, that LG was trying to throw it on the market fast, to be the first dual core phone - to generate max profit.

Don't bother with Edangel, he rants about how great his O2x is in almost every topic. In his own little world.
theres a couple of guys who have bought the australian version over at the whirlpool forums http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1598794&p=22#r434, i have asked them to post what version they are running, if these issues are fixed with the new update then i would expect these phones to be running it, but i think that is unlikley, would like to know what LG australia has done to iliminate these problem in the aus version yet the rest of the world has to wait, llike others here i'm very warey of LG's 'it's fixed it's fixed' statements

I got all the ones without oil and damaged engines and flat tires...
Or in other words an used car for the price of a new one ;-)
Is this normal phenomenal for this branch or only for this particular car.
Well after owned many, I dare to say that all engines where new and not broken...Sometimes a flat tire
I don't trust that the mechanic will fix this engine
Well this ends the metaphor and leaves us waiting for that magical O2X fix :-(

My money is on 2.6.32.9. It's working well enough on the O2X with the new gingerbread leaks, and as they say - If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
... though maybe in LG's case it should be - if you've spent months fixing it, don't risk breaking it again!
Gingerbread on Optimus Dual: Raffaele Cinquegrana answers.
published by LG in the Box on Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 16:31
As we announced yesterday the release of Gingerbread for Optimus Dual will be delayed due to a development that is requesting more time than expected.
We are very disappointed that they failed to meet a deadline that we set, perhaps too optimistically, and we understand your disappointment.
With this note we would like to reiterate that we are working to be able to release the update in a few weeks: at this time we can not tell you a date, and do not want to do before you have the certainty of being able to fulfill the promise.
The timing of the development are due to the desire to provide the best software possible, so we ask you a little 'patience, trust and dialogue. This page is a channel to which we are attached and we would like it to be a useful tool for you. Here we have always behaved with the utmost transparency, trying to meet everyone. In this case, unfortunately, given the scope and tone of the comments we are forced to respond to this note to you all.
We will continue to be available to you, thank you for your cooperation.

How can LG treat its flagship product like this? even HTC Incredible S, single core, certainly get 4.0 upgrade, recent announce by HTC. 2X is a DualCore smartphone, hah??? no 4.0 ?? fuzzy.
In other word, black is also go to the end of its life by official 2.3.4. I can only say, never buy LG anymore.

Really disappointed. Almost all the other brands(HTC, Samsung, Moto) have announced that most of their android 2.3 smartphones will be upgradable to ICS.
If LG really not provide ICS for optimus black/2x, certainly no one would buy its products again
Agreed. Very disappointing. I love my optimus black but I hate LG now. If optimus black won't have been such an amazing good phone I would have sweared not to buy another LG product for sure.

LG Jordan - إل جي الأردن Hi Mohammad Abbadi ICS is the android version 2.4, it has been released very recently in the market and as of now its not clear if its going to be available for P970 and P920 ... there is only one model in the market that has ICS and its a Google product... as I informed you The Optimus Black will receive the gingerbread update and we will announce it on our page as soon as the update is ready for the end user... LG Jordan Team thank you for your continuous support to our products and hope you will always be a fan of our page.
I think they will giv 4.0 to ob/2x it will be late but we will hav it

Well, I think it's still too early to say. ICS has just been released only anyway, i guess it takes time to determine if it comes. Some people say it might come, some say it might not. Only time will tell. Though one thing's right though, updates are awfully slow. I don't know if the LG team is incompetent or just not dedicated, but the other manufacturers are doing a much better job :/
Ya same things happen when gb realesed many peoples said that gb required atleast 1ghz processor but thats all gone fake and i bet ics will come to all high end devices

what are you all dreaming???ICS on OB and/or 2x??? I am so sceptic about this!!
We have not yet gingerbread on OB, and you are looking forward to ICS??
HAHAHA!! LG treat customers as figures on income reports!!
If they (maybe) give us GB when ICS is out in the market, untill they will give us (or be ready to give us) ICS for OB, the phone will be replaced with another phone .....
I do not believe for a second that this OB will get ICS .. but I will have sold my first and most definately last LG phone before Gingerbread gets within a thousand miles of it. LG - you suck big time, please please go bust!

I suggest everyone lets them know what they think on twitter @LGElectronics
hmm honneslty the biggest reason I've bought an OB for, is the nova screen. I was even thinking about selling it for the OW. But, since some times going back to sony ericsson is on my mind (one of my previous phones was a W810i)
Okay no wonder they lost millions from last year. LG is really sucks!!!! Good hardware bad development, very bad to maintain their costumers.

IPS is very good and natural in color. But nova bright LEDs are just a gimmick. I compared nova and super amoled from nexus s with high brightness, okay p970 has the most brightness but.everthing washed out. Super amoled can keep black color in maximum brightness. But who uses max brightness???

And frankly I dont get why nvidia is doing this.
I dont think that any of us will ever buy an Nvidia chipset mobile device ever again.
Dont they see that?
How arrogant are they?
Kal-el seems to be amazing in terms of performance and efficiency.. but who cares...
I'd rather get a device which is not as good, knowing that for the next 1-2 years i'll have custom roms with updated OS.
This seems interesting!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19861004&postcount=57
Seriously??? I think both got fault but I think LG's fault is more serious because the latest Kernal has already been released by Nvidia but don't know why LG is not releasing it with the GB they release with 2x...
Seriously, you bought the first dual core phone in the world with a chipset made by a company who's never been in the phone business before (nvidia) made by a company who's never made high end android phones before (lg) and you expected everything to work flawlessly? Have some patience, lg has announced that they will release ics and nvidia has done a lot more already than I had expected (they are actually communicating with arcee about releasing stuff they don't have to release.
Well it looks like they're finally getting their act in gear, so all is not yet lost.

Agreed. I am slightly hopeful about this turning into a good phone . I just think that both nvidia and lg have fewer android-developers than what would have been optimal. This combined with the fact that they needed to release the device fast has lead to some frustration.
I love the phone.... it has enough power, a beautiful IPS screen and is just the right size for me. It now has Gingerbread and ICS is promised. What's not to like? My missus has the iphone 4s and it was twice the cost I paid for my LG. I wouldn't swap mine for an iphone or any other £500 mobile just yet as it does all that's required and looks to have a rosy future with ICS.

Take a look at SonyEricsson when they first relased Xperia.. First update from Donut to Eclair, it was even worse then LG. And dont forget how they locked Xperia bootloaders, damn people hated that company But now, a year later they actually help you to unlock bootloaders, are pretty quick with updates. And they even made dualtouch to X10, just because people demanded it.
So yes, companys can make 180° turns
So dont throw away your awesome piece of electronic, you are going to regret it.

i saw a g2x forum, and in the ICS project thread Azuscee wrote that CM team has fully working ICS for g2x(which is 2x actually). So i think they have fully working test build for 2x also...so don't worry, we will have CM9 officially.
It's not fully working, the camera is a no-go.
OMG..
Just saw the news from nvidia...
The trouble they would go, not to release the source code, is amazing..
I wonder why
So much frustration and problems with all this .... when I had the N95 8GB, `problem` was only about Garmin and some other small non-essential apps ...
everything else is working well and I had no need to change anything .....

Jelly Bean update plan

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
