Well it's a pretty fast phone, I use it since Tuesday and I can say i'm very satisfied from it.
P.S I was an iPhone user.

The Current stock roms isn't 100% perfect.
But the new ones do make this phone perfect.
If you play with this phone and HTC Sensation you will think and feel that the O2X is faster.
Compared with SG2 they feel the same.

hi
and the price of this phone in my country is cool 4k less than the other two(i mean indian rupees)
thanks for ur very nice info

Well, you will feel that the sgs2 is faster and smother but that just because it is using gingerbread. When O2X updated to gingerbread, it should be on equal.
But the sgs2 do have a bigger rom but whatever O2X has it's enough for daily usage.

With me being a software whore, installing all kinds of crap, games, software, trying out one piece of crap after another without actually deleting anything it still feels pretty "snappy" after a while
I'm on stock ROM, only rooted and flashed baseband 0502..
I can live with the phone as is, but boy do i look forward to an upgrade thats gonna fix the craxy battery issue (sometimes my phone (with normal use) can run 8-10 hours, another day it can run for one hole day ( 8 in the morning to mid day the day after).. so its not consistent..
The reboot proble is not that big an issue for me anymore (one reboot last week, no BSOD)
I would, considering the price in Norway, still buy this over the Galaxy S2
It feels nice.. good built, camera is a big plus, screen is good, overall i think the phone is a winner!
-TES

Must say this is a brilliant phone, just install cm7 its very stable now, been using it for 2 days and its miles better than the stock rom. Well worth the money i paid £330GBP for it. Worth every penny

SGSII Might be a tad faster (as in smoother) in rendering Webpages, but the Tegra2 gets better optimized Tegra Apps. The Samsung Exynos seems to have many issues according to Market reviews.
Sensation seems to have worse camera quality.
I like the LG O2X design MUCH better than both of the other phones, SGSII having this fugly button and Sensation having this ugly round tricolor back.
O2X has backlight bleeding in many (most?) shipped phones.
SGSII also seems to have display issues - yellowish on one side, blueish on the other.
Best bang for the buck is surely O2X.

I'm planning on getting this phone and I have a few questions...
Is there an improvement in browser flash performance with updates because its quite crappy over the GSII and GS plus(youtube.com/watch?v=CCUkYyfBx4w)?
Is there improvement in camera performance because (again) its quite worse than the GSII - both having a resolution of 8mp?
I'm asking this because these are mainly software "issues" and most of the time manufacturers don't give a **** about them, although it would make the customers freaking happy

If you have 2 times more money to waste on GS2 do it i bought this on for 300 Euros and GS 2 cost about 570, and the improvments in GS2 dont worth 270 Euros for me...

Hey
Can someone, expecially IEski, tell me where to get O2X the cheapest?
It's 500 € in Estonia But it does come with an HDMI cable. Nevertheless it's still a bit too expensive.
If anyone can suggest an online shop that ships to Estonia and has it at a good price?
Thx.

Netherlands around 300 euros

This phone can do everything the sgs2 can, and costs less. The sgs2 can't do all the stuff the lg o2x does (tegra game play, full hdmi mirror).
Worth the occasional reboot, which I mostly avoid by removing the SD card.

I got my O2x a few days ago and I am super pleased with it!!!
Not a single reboot or glitch running on MCR F17, it has exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. The build quality and screen are top notch as well!

Hi Haree,
Sorry for the late reply! Got it for 25,500/- with bill at National market. Has HDMI cable included. Its 2 months old today, but I don't know the current price. May have gone up with sgs2 out of stock. Good thumbrule is flipkart price minus 1000/-.
I see this phone has got good response in Singapore and Malaysia, (lowyat.net, vrzone.net, hardwarezone.com forums) where the users are more tech savvy.

At first I was very dissapointed with the phone. The LG customized launcher was absolutely not showcasing the hardware capabilities, and the battery life was short, even after months of getting used to the phone.
When I rooted and flashed Cynanogenmod (CM7) to the phone, it was a completely different experience. First and foremost - the battery life is extremely great. It's incredible. And then - with 2.3.4 on it and all other CM7 related configurations, the phone is pretty damn fast! So - either wait for LG to fix up their ROM or install CM7, that will change pretty much everything.

My 2 cents...within the first week I had BSOD on stock and custom roms. Got a refund and havent looked back

im about to buy a 2nd hand milestone

Honestly, I would go for something better. Unless you are really looking for a physical keyboard to text on that is. The HTC Desire Z/G2 is another physical keyboard slider that is better spec'd than the Milestone and less outdated. If you can get that I think it'd be a good deal.
If all you are doing is texting, then yes, the Milestone can be a good option. But for anything else, it is starting to become outdated and pales in comparison to other phones.

i see but i can hardly find a phone which apperance is as nice as milestone...so im still thinking...thx

Honestly speaking, you should seriously wait for a new device or purchase something like the Samsung Galaxy S 2. Trust me the milestone is a little too outdated with dual core processors at 1.5GHz beginning to be rumoured about and milestones 550mhz processor not to mention the insufficient amount of ram - 256mb in comparison to others with like 1gb ram e.g. atrix, samsung galaxy s 2 i think. If you are patient and have the money I would wait to see what google will be unveiling soon (probably october 11 ctia or something) or even what apple is most likely unveiling on october 4th.

Milestone even though is outdated can be kept alive, but it involves flashing, tuning, trying, etc. And even after that it still has very small RAM.
If you prefer the looks and you have a _really_ cheap offer and you are short on money you might consider it buying. If not, just wait (as everyone else suggests ).

oh,it seems that i should really consider it carefully,thx guys

Milestone is showing its age bro. If u really want a qwerty android then htc desire Z or milestone 2 is for u.
Buy only if u've got a very good offer on the second hand milestone. U might have to do quite a bit of tweaking n roms testing to find sumthin for ur needs. Gud day

Thoughts on 2X and your next phone?

The phones over a year old now. I only picked mine up used almost half a year ago for 200 USD. The phone's price really plummeted in just over half a year didn't it? Even now it hasn't dropped further as it hit its rock bottom way back then. High end phones that are older and with less specs cost the same as this as its really unpopular. An example being the Galaxy S.
So in a way its a pretty unsuccessful phone. Reasons? Software support has been terrible, suffering from radio issues. The stock firmware was appalling for a long time. Then the announcement ICS wasn't coming which soon after you saw the price hitting rock bottom. Leading to LG to counter its previous comment and proceed with ICS. Which it probably had no plans to before the backlash. Since the update was due rather late and has since been delayed a quarter.
Hardware wise its not bad. But still outdone by S2's larger screen, double ram and better camera.
All said i'm extremely happy with my first Android especially considering what I paid. But only with the developer support providing the best solutions. If I were a stock user i'd be sorely disappointed, only feeling better for the price.
In terms of my next phone, I want a larger screen 4.7ish but not pocket busting like the note. A better camera but equal to 2X is fine. More RAM because Opera Mobile keeps shutting down when I multitask out for a second, even with an extra 48mb ram hack. Amoled would be nice but not necessary, mainly for its benefits if its sunlight legibility is good. HD is unnecessary in my opinion.
As it stands I probably won't be upgrading for awhile until the likes of the S3 gets cheap. Except its design looks unprofessional. Optimus 4X anyone? :-D They couldn't make the same mistakes again right? Right?

I will only be upgrading to nexus devices from now on, because of this phone has made me realise I hate manufacturer skins and that I want the latest updates all the time.

i am happy with the phone. the only complaints are the screen outdors and the camera (well not the camera itself but the plastic cover that ruins the quality).
i dont even dare thinking about a new phone but seeing how fast the market moves today's pick will be outdated in 2 weeks.

Going for a Galaxy S3 in a weeks time.
Would you guys do the same? I had this phone for over a year now

Hayabusa 12mp sounds like potential. If nexus grew a good camera, it'd be killer. The rumour of five nexuses this year is promising
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA

some people arent that rich to change expensive phones every 12 months.
My next device will be WITH a good battery, a SD card slot (dumb htc with their one series..almost made them perfect), a good camera (likes of SGS3 or more likely htc one x), and an ARM cortex-a15 based cpu (or krait). and quite importantly, a wolfson micro sound chip (also supported by supercurio ) i dont want screens as large as 4,7 inches though
oh, and i hope it will be a nexus...i want good updates... fuuuu LG
this would be a freaking dream phone. but i aint buying anything until the 2x gives up on me, i still really like it

So far i had 2 android phones with the optimus being my second one. I have noticed that all those "specs" do not matter. What matters is a good software. Therefore i would move to a nexus devices when my optimus gets completely destroyed or really useless. No need to keep throwing money on phones if they cannot completely replace my laptop.

I will go for a SGS2 or 3 or a Nexus.
Hopefully soon. Tired of all the probs with my LGOS

currently, my o2x running temasek kang, it give me what i want to do
still waiting for the stable cm9, then will use it about a year
my next phone maybe the galaxy s4

I think I'm buying a S3 or nexus. And what Arkara said, I agree that specs don't matter as much as the software support.
Seeing as the S2 a friend of my has, still running stock since launch and no factory resets: Smooth as hell, fast and long battery. Galaxy Nexus is also stable.
Maybe my phone has a bad chip or something like that but the FD issues are to much and the battery life is overall the same for me no matter the BB or RIL. No more Tegra for me.

Nexus seems like the popular choice among us. I think specs matter still otherwise you wouldn't be after a high end phone. I personally have grown accustomed to CM's flexibility and features so i'm not really after software support. Except as we know in our 2X case it lacks drivers for us to update to.
Of course a stable good software release is important, afterall custom ROM users are a minor aspect in comparison to sales. But in the S3's case Samsung are trying to differentiate and add value through the software extras. That's great for most but if your not using it you're paying for nothing.
At least the idea behind the S2 was hardware and just the right software to make it run. This time around Samsung are making moves inspired by their biggest rival in their eyes, Apple. They like to poke fun and criticise Apple but they would prefer nothing more than to be them. The design, the marketing and the software are all in their footsteps.
What do 2X users here think of the iPhone anyway? I think it's like our polar opposite in the high end. The super expensive overrated and over hyped hardware with good closed software popular phone compared to the piss cheap higher spec phone with miserable software and success.

Well, they sure as hell have a long way to go as far as design goes. Pretty much all android phones do. They are butt ugly. The Optimus 2x is actually one of the prettier ones imo! The Galaxy S2 for instance is a design disaster.
I'm not a fan of the iOS, though. When I use it, on my Ipod Touch, I get the feeling that I am being treated like an idiot.

I will have a close look at the ASUS Padfone.
If it only had a 720p screen, I would have bought it.
When the Rumors about 5 new Nexus devices for Jelly Bean come true I hope ASUS makes one of the phones. I love their build quality and design. They also are the fastest when it comes to updates and patches.
I also think that the Optimus 2X is among the prettiest phones. This was the reason I picked it instead of the Galaxy SII (the price was similar at launch).
With CM7.2 UNOFFICIAL (I also use temaseks build) the phone is very good and I get a good battery life lately since I turn my phone off and back on right aufter I unplug it from the charger in the mornings. The only thing I don't like is the Battery life when I use it a lot for webbrowsing and games.
My next Phone will have a 720p display, a bigger battery and more RAM.
SD Card slot, swappable battery are things I would very much miss if they were not available on my next phone. Optimus 4X maybe, Huawei D Quad maybe, Jelly Bean Nexus possibly or the Padfone?

I´m tired of the 2x....
...because of the politics from LG.
The stects of that phone were really good, but as it was said before: Good software ist more worth than good hardware.
I think my next Phone will be the next SGS or a Nexus.
What i need:
SD-Card
huge RAM
720p Display
LTE
NFC
good Cam

Buying a LG 2X, still worth it ?

Hi there.
Atm i'm using an htc desire with cm7, runs really well, but i do notice the phone is getting quite old.
Thought about upgrading to an LG 2X.
Is it worth it ?
Are you happy with your 2X ?
One of the reasons i'm looking a LG is because all the new phones, while fancy, are so freaking big, i mean, 4,7" screen, that's hardly a phone any more, that's a mini tablet. The 2X is one of the only dualcore phones with less than a 4,3" screen.
I don't use my phone for games, i use it as a phone, navigation and some browsing.

That's a very nice phone, 1 year old, but...if ICS update comes, it will be very amazing.
After that, the O2x is not even brickable :good:
Lot of custom rom are still available if you're not happy with the stock one...
For a daily use phone...it's a very good choice :good:

I just realised that i've been playing with an "hp liberty bell" for a week, and it's also running the tegra 2 chipset. And it was nice.
So unless there is something else they screwed up on the hardware, this seems to be my next phone of choice.

I am also very satisfied with my O2X. I had the same screen size issues and I didn't want a screen larger than 4.3". And I didn't want to spend that much money on SGS3 so O2x was my natural choice.

O2x is a great phone with affordable price this is a perfect screen size

It's a nice phone and I learned the hard way that it a pretty tough phone. Jumped in the pool for 10 seconds and it still works. The screen is nice and in all its a nice device.
Just remember, when you buy this device, by it for what it has now. The possibility for ICS is shaky due to LG/Nvidia. So if you like GB go for this phone, If not get a nexus s or galaxy nexus as those are guaranteed updates.

But it does get ics, right?
I mean, it clearly has the hardware to run it.

According to LG, yes. The 2X will get ICS. The real question is when. LG first announced that the 2X would get ICS in Q2, now it's been delayed to Q3. We're all eagerly awaiting for that.
All in all, as others have said, the 2X is a great device.
Sent from my Nokia N95

Don't BUY it! I swear you will regret it! LG's never gonna release the ICS update not now, not ever!
SAVE YOURSELF! Do it for us O2x owners ;( *silently dying*

I vote for YES! )
This device is so powerful. The hardware is decent. Only software just not satisfied. But if you love to do something/tweak, then it is fine. But if you just like end-user who only use the phone out of box, you are welcome too but don't complain this and that. ifyouknowwhatimean
With the price so much cheap (in my country,LOL) it is so worth to own it.
About ICS, maybe LG want to focus on 4x HD 1st, then after end promote their 2012 flagship then only they focus on 2x. HOPEFULLY. haha

Don't make the mistake to buy a LG2X or a Terga2 tegra3 device !

its a great phone. but lg are a pain, they took ages to release the official gb, they announce 2x wont get ics, then it will get ics, then it'll get ics in Q2 of 2012. we are now in Q3 and they havent made any comments that i have found to say its been delayed.
LG are rubbish but the phone is good. just keep that in mind, im sure that official ics will arrive but i dont think it'll be any time soon.
again its a great phone, even without the official code the devs here have made a couple of great ICS roms (few bugs obviously) and lots excellent GB rom so think what they;ll be able to do once official ics comes out. - its the only reason im keeping my 2x.

Im happy with my O2X.. Im using ICS rom, as I dont mind its bugs and it's nearly perfect. Everything runs well and I wouldnt change the phone as it fulfills my needs. Give it a try.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium

I have now had my O2X for more than a year. It is sturdy and reliable and yes, the size is good!!
It is the phone I have had most fun out of and I have been on the mobile phone wave since mobile phones were portable, only with a wheel barrel.
I am rather convinced LG will provide the update to ICS and thus give the drivers to our developers, so we can enjoy fully functioning ICS roms eventually.
For trying new ROMs on, it is just a breeze and there are so many to try, you will be addicted to this sport.
I am a gadget freak as any other man, maybe even a little more, but this device has kept me happy now more than a year and I think it will last a year more!
So, nuff said; I recommend it as a good buy.:good:
BR
Mike.

I don't mind tweaking, the first thing i do after unbox is root.
With my desire i tried many roms, but after a while i figured that CM7 was the best option, nearly no bugs, and good support & development community. But none the less it is getting old, even tho my setup runs butter smooth. CM7 with launcherpro & s2e.
Atm i've got my eyes on one for about 120€, seems like a good deal.
Well, my experience with LG is that most of their products are crap (except TV's maybe), but once in a while they make something good, you just gotta know to steer clear of everything else.

Wondering why some people don't recommend buying tegra 2 or 3 chipsets, they are pretty powerfull. Is the development bad for nvidia chipsets ?

Hi fusk!
I am really happy about my O2X, but I'm a bit surprised at the reasons you are giving for choosing an O2X.
Actually, it is precisely when I'm browsing that I think a bigger screen would come in handy.
If that's what you use it the most for, I would consider looking into the galaxy S2, if I were you. It has a bigger 4.3" screen BUT the phone is practically the same size as an O2X (I have had both in my hand and was able to compare them myself). The S2 has much better screen/phone size ratio, as the O2X wastes a lot of space at the bottom.
Of course, the O2X is still 25% cheaper than an S2... but if your only criteria is size, the S2 is more or less the same size of the O2X with a bigger screen.
EDIT: Just saw your post where you said you were "eyeing" one for 120 EUR... I would be careful about buying older O2X's... there were a lot of people reporting BSOD (black screen of death) while charging and random restarts. I bought mine early this year and I've had none of that even in stock ROM, so I would say the more recent batches are better.

I've had my desire for 1½ years, and used it for all those things, never thought my screen was small, it had a perfect size.
I have played with the S2 and i don't like the size, But you are right that sizewise they are pretty close. But so are many phones. Going from 3.7 to 4.7 is a huge difference, but from 3.7 to 4, and from 4 to 4.3 are small diffrences.
But as i think the HTC desire which weirdly enough is the same size as an iphone is the perfect size. I am trying to stay as close to HTC desire size as possible while bumping the hardware specs. Instead of looking at the S2 i found the S1 to be more interesting.
Actually i think this is very interesting. Android and W8 phones are getting bigger and bigger, but the iphone stays the same, while getting 5mm longer it keeps the formfactor. And i'm quite sure all of them have done extensive research on what people want, but clearly two very different results. I'm one of those who wants to keep the desire formfactor with new specs.

[Q] [4HD]Good buy or bad buy

Hi guys
I hope you won't kill me, but I am a samsung boy. I had a Galaxy II and I was real pleased about it, until it got stolen. So it's time to pick a new phone. I have already read that the bootloader will be unlocked with the jelly bean update. Sadly I fear this might be only a rumour. So this leaves me with some questions.
Will the bootloader be unlocked?
Does this phone really contain lots of bugs?
Is this phone worth buying
Should I got to a Galaxy S3 or another phone
Thanks a lot

I loved my S2, fantastic phone!I upgraded to this phone, more on the fact it looks similar and I didnt like the look of the S3, its a good phone, but its a bit old hat now really, things change so quickly!

Neither do I. But I am curious if there might be other inspiring phones out there. Anyway.. the new upgrade of the SII is sadly enough just an embarrassment. Besides I was wondering if there were any other interesting phones arriving shortly. But I don't know about a lot about the bootloader, but I want my phone unlocked and bug free. I was kinda a flash-addict, and I do like this LG phone, The design, pricing and its hardware ofcourse. Still this phone hasn't received much love, so what should I do?

with my new CustoNexus port-rom, this model has suddenly gotten my interest back. So, i think its a good buy for the low cost you can find it for now comparing to a OneX when it was cheapest.
nexus4 or Optimus g is the only better alternative, comparing to SIII.

True But in this case, I don't want to limit my choice based only upon money. I do feel like getting the SIII, still the S4 might be just around the corner. If I buy this phone, I will have to used it for over a year and hopefully even more. Still I really need a smartphone and I want it to be excellent.
Your port is certainly a good solution to the dreadful UI made by LG. (I saw your rom already and it made me smile)
Still the future of this phone is quite unsure, so .. updates, bugs, .. bootloader, so tell me what should I do?
PS: I heard the display was great, can anyone confirm that?

Odp: [Q] [4HD]Good buy or bad buy
^ SGS3, lolnope, don't buy that piece of plastic! Buy 4X, it'll have JB and get unlocked soon (official CM10.1 is sure), or buy G... don't buy the phone with 1080p, it is just the waste of cash. HTC One X would be a good choice too, but if u want to play with custom roms without losing warranty, just choose O4X
@edit yes, it's the best screen after LG OG! And jelly bean update will solve most problems which exist now
@edit2 human's eye can't even see differences between 720 and 1080p (in phones, on tv u can see it ofc)
@edit3(lol) SGS2 is good phone imho, design is better than "three's", but i hate physical home menu in Samsung's phones.

I am quite unhandy and to be honest. .. I always whine about, NO NO MOVIE 1080p but honestly you can barely see the difference and I am sure this would be the case on a smartphone.
Reason if you can convince me, I'll sign your petition

The only unsure thing in future is if LG will upgrade it to JB 4.2 or further. But it runs good even on ICS, and as Dexter said, only "better" system availible atm is the Snapdragon S4 Pro in Optimus G or Nexus 4.
The display is really great. I haven't done direct comparison to a SIII, but the 4X doesn't have burn-in thanks to IPS instead of AMOLED.
The bootloader unlock was confirmed by LG's Developers to a few users here. So it's still not official, but with LG nothing is official - you just get used to that after a while

The feel of the phone overall i think.. it really feels well build, like it feels solid.. i have had a samsung s2 and a s3 and they cant keep up with this phone ln the way it feels..

But one x feels, and definetly is more solid built. And with one of many brilliant custom roms, could be the most reasonable choice at the moment. (One x+ is highly overpriced in my opinion)

i believe something got lost in translation
anyways GNII is 5.5" , just in case "it is small" was misread.

I am also thinking of selling my galaxy note and buy 4x HD ... big size of gnote is annoying and besides, 4x has tegra 3 which I believe is better than snapdragon quad ... The battery life with tegra 3 is awesome.

No one wants to convince you into it. First of all this thread shouldn't exist. Hope at least the mods look in the Optimus 4X section.

Seriously, it's time for me to renew my phone - i9000 galaxy S
After browsing the web, moaning versus N4 unavailability - and no sd-card, no battery access - i'm really considering O4X.
Form factor, instead on GSIII
Price, compared the HTC One X+
Performances
Now the major drawback for me (seems i just discover there is a locked bootloader...)
- CM10.1 support
But God, for 350€, i'm sure this phone rocks.
