Lg 4X HD and Vu p895 - LG Optimus 4X HD

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

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

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?

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
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
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

Just go and try it, my LG is the best phone i ever had (O2X)..
Ive had an LG Renoir too, that was my 2nd best i think..

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.

Time to say goodbye!

TOday, I have sold my optimus black.
Sadly, I will not contribute much on P970 thread in xda in the future. However, I am happy to share my experience when using P970 if you want to listen...
This is my first smart phone for daily use...
What's more, I would like to thank all the developers and members. Without their contribution, I cannot try so many wonderful and powerful ROMs like Marvel and Zeus... I would like to thank Redy, Huexxx... They are so kind to answer my questions. Zeus is the best ROMs that I have tried.
Now, I am still considering which is the next smart phone will be.
I think galaxy nexus or optimus 2X are the good choice.
Any ideas?
Your choices are galaxy nexus and LG 2X ? Galaxy is like twice the price of an optimus 2x (atleast in my country). Still, I'm not even going to talk about LG's technical phone support...I would choose galaxy nexus even without a need to think about it.
Regards.

Both are too expensive for me.
Besides, Nexus is so reasonable price in my country, just the same with the optimus 2X
Seems that prices in my country are so different with yours. Galaxy nexus is 40 euros more expensive than Sony Xperia S !? SGS 2 is is priced at 480 euros, which is the same as the Sony.
But ridiculously cheap is SE arc s (290 eur), which is cheaper than OB originally was last summer.
If i could i would change my ob to arc s any time.

yeah... but with power comes reaponsibility as uncle Ben said to a little spidey and lg shows no signs of responsibility at all....
To be honest the only reason for not selling my OB is the great developers(even if not many in number), and the community. It haven't been an easy ride at all, and it is all LGs fault of being slappy and improve.
And that will definitely be my last LG item (phone,tv,etc) for a long while.
I would personally go with the nexus or if price is not to high with the Samsung Note.
Take care and good luck !!!!
I would look for the galaxy nexus or the htc one s not the x (i'm also looking to buy the one S)
I still think htc is more reliable then lg and samsung… but that's my opinion
p970 is my first android phone too

I also have the 4x HD since a week now and i`m totally happy with it. It`s really fast and smooth. No reboots or other failures til now. And i already gained one update last week from v10a to v10b. Maybe they`ve learned to update regularly. Well, we`ll see it in the future.
I think it will take some time until there is a real fanbase and some devs.

Buying a 4x after a 2x can only be called naive.

Hey, can you install apps on the micro sd card or transfer app data onto the external sd? I heard the SGS3 can't.
Thanks for all the answers ! I appreciate it.
I am very satisfied with the phone, because of the nice interface and especially the big HD screen
I know that some of you think it is stupid to buy a LG phone after the LG Optimus 2x, but I actually had a 2x before which had a lot of bugs. I was lucky to get my money back which resulted in buying a Lumia 800. But the Windows Phone was to boring and I missed Androids many functions. The reason for I bought a LG again was because I liked the 2x, and when I saw the 4x for the first time I wanted it. The 4x is in fact also about 200 dollars cheaper than the Galaxy s3 and the One X, here in Denmark.
I know that the phone is only available in about 11 countries right now.

The browser is nice and very fast, actually almost faster than my pc, but it is not perfect.
I think the battery is about average, I can use it for about 6 hours with very heavy usage as browsing, video and so on. I bought it three days ago, so I haven't tried the battery on a normal day but I think that it can last for at least a day.
The screen is outstanding, I love it and it was the main reason for buying this phone. The price is also good for a such a nice phone
I have noticed that it sometimes uses a lot of ram even though I don't use many apps at the same time, but after a while it gets normal again. It has resulted in some lag one time, but I made a factory reset and haven't noticed it anymore and it works like a charm now
So I think you should buy it because it is an incredible phone with a very good price, but you must have in mind that it is a LG and therefore be prepared for the worst.
But I am very satisfied with it and will never change it for a s3, one x or another high end smartphone.

The screen on this phone is much better than the 2x's screen ,it is in fact better than the Samsung Galaxy S3, well that is what the reviewers say and I totally agree
The screen is perfect for reading, browsing and watching video on. The screen is sharp and colourful.

I can't compare it with a IPhone because I have never owned one.
The loudspeaker can get very load but unfortunately the sound clarity looses quality when it is on full.
But I think the sound quality is perfect when it is connected with headphones and you can actually press at a bottom with is named Dolby Mobile that makes the sound clearer and it is actually like the option "surround" on the LG2X. But this function is only available when connected with headphones.
I can compare the sound quality with a Lumia 800, and say that the sound quality on this phone is a level or two better

ive come from the S2, as I Wanted another bar shaped phone, so i didnt go for the s3.
Battery is a lot better IMO, easy to get a day, even too with normal use.
stable and smooth, not as smooth as I thought with the speed of the processor tho.
most annoying thing is the home button, right under the space bar, I press it so much when im writing a TXT, drives me mad!
quality is good, lovely phone to handle!
Thanks a lot for the answers.
I am almost decided to buy this phone, i have now other question... Does it have Portuguese-Brasil idiom ? Or just Portuguese-Portugal ? Is it possible to change (in case it comes with PT-PT) ?

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.

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

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.

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
