[Q] Final verdict . To buy or not 2X ?

Well guys im going to buy my first android on 18 July .! n im really confused by the comments n going through all the treads about the reboot related problems of this phone .! n now im really scared to buy this phone also i want a future proof phone as this will be my last phone from parents n i can buy my next phone after 3-4 yrs only ..! So guys plz help me weather to buy this phone or not .! Even if i get a defective piece will the problem be corrected in future updates or i will have to keep a defective phone for the next 4 years .! Also as in from india does India getting too much defective pieces ? or its just with some people when it comes to India ..
waiting for your suggestion ..!

Based on *my* experience I would not buy this phone again. It's unstable (over 60 recorded reboots since I bought the phone on April 18) and lacks proper support from LG (why does this not surprise me?). In my opinion, LG, again, fails to deliver on it's promises and keeps on spreading lies on whether or not an "update" fixes the reboot problem. I don't see this phone last for more than 2 years of intensive use, let alone 4 years. In that case, go for another brand although I won't start suggesting specific models.
FYI: I'm an experienced Android and used nearly every ROM available to remedy the problems I experienced.

Personally I think this phone is great. I hardly get any reboots or problems.
Install CM7, Paul's Modaco rom or the latest stock release and you'll be fine.

So mate u haven't got any problem like this before ? i mean the phone is all ok for ya ? rit ?

I'm also a happy owner of the 2x, that is however because I was able to buy it at less than half the retail price from the company I work at. As a lot of people already have mentioned the phones hardware is really good and by flashing custom ROM's like cm7 or Modace the phone becomes "ok" for everyday usage. However for a smartphone valued over 500€ it is way to buggy to stand up among its competitors in the same price range. Seriously; I simple cannot understand why anybody would buy this phone instead of, for example, the SII or the HTC Sensation. The 2x is a nice phone, no doubt about that, but I would seriosly save a couple of bucks and buy one of the other phones I mentioned = better hardware and working software + working customer support. (btw the camera is also lousy compared to the SII and Sensation - even with the HD mods...)
I'm not a LG hater, and I'm really happy with my 2x - seriously most people are still pretty much amazed by my phone when I'm toying aroung with it running cm7 with SPB Shell 3D, [email protected] 1,5ghz, dsp manager etc. but yeah It seriously cannot be compared to a Sensation or SII

I haven'd hat any reboot both with stock rom and custom roms. In my opinion stock rom was quite well usable except the battery drain. But Paul fixed it quite good, which makes it possible to charge the phone every second day with reasonable constant usage
kind regards

I cant compare to a Sensation or a SII since I haven't touched them but for me at this stage the LG is SUPER. Hope you made a good choice and that you are happy with it!

you buy't
I am a new user of this wonderfull phone. i have waiting a lot of time this phone because is like samsung s2 on the performance but on a price much afordable. On this phone you pay only the hardware and software of the amazing android but on the HTC and Samsung a 10% you pay the logo, the brand. good luck and from my experience i recomend't

I´m very satisfied whit my LG and haven´t had any problems whit it

Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

same here.. great quality and "open" like a google dev phone haha

I have it from the early begining and used only with MoDaCo ROMs , had no problems. Would buy it again.
Actualy I believe that most of the problems other have is because of basebands version incompatibility with instaled RIL...

I like my LG 2X. To me it has the best spec for the price range and good ROM from Paul and CM7. But if money is not a problem, get galaxy S2.

Should i sale my OB or not giv ur advice

Hi Guyz
I like playing with custom roms & mods recently i use optimus one than Defy i enjoy both of them than i got OB i bought this just bocz its low cost with high specs but after entering to OB thread i saw that there is not much dev here for our OB and very few custom roms available for us after spending 2mnth my favorite rom & his maker lives his job i m taking about Knzo i m really so now i m got offer from 1 person on net to exchange his galaxy s i9000 with my OB so i need some advice from all of u guyz what should i do?
Thanks for ur valuable time for reading & helping me

I really don`t think that guy offerd you his galaxy S for your OB just because OB doesn`t have so much dev support, I think he did it just because OB it`s a better device and in a short matter of time will get much more custom roms than we have right now. we almost have CM 7.1 working now....I`m using it as my daily use right now and it`s awsome. be patient, OB will be a great phone

I used to have a galaxy s i9000 and i was pretty happy,but i know this same feeling is approaching to our LG OPTIMUS BLACK...and i can barely wait for mui roms, cm7 roms...and later on gingerbread update so....stay tuned....

the best for the patience one
just wait for the complete CM7

I have this phone and Samsung Galaxy S2 although GS2 beats it in every test
some odd reason I prefer the Optimus Black and it will be so much better with Gingerbread so my advise is be patient like the rest of us

I think you shoul keep OB it's great and have so many native features that you don't need to download this and that to make those things [i.e. screen shot] even the factory rom, kernel, etc, are good I don't have any of those just rooted it and works pretty awesome actually

If you love to play with roms I think you better go with Google phones like the Nexus ones. Otherwise, keep the OB.

Hey, be patient, wait stable and fast CM release
Yesterday I find a way to take 3500+ in quadrant It is a very nice score. OB look very nice, and has a briliant display, anything is good.

Thanks to all of u guyz today i found a Chinese website over there i found many custom roms for OB i m downloading now lets see how its works

Give a try of this phone man,
for this price i dont think it is a better phone at the moment Its really nice build quality really
May be thats only me,but i really dislike the feel of a Samsungs for now wtf
The difference is like You take example: cheap amplifier and the nice Onkyo one.... you feel it really when use the device itself or an Acer compared to Thinkpad
I hope this will change with Nexus Prime
I am not a gamer,so for me its ok for now and cant find that combinationrice+4 inch great display+nice build quality+verry stylish+rare look(i mean everyone have HTC,SGS,iPhone)

I had the chance to play around with an Optimus 2x and I have to say I regret that I didn't save some more $$ and get that instead of OB. It's incredibly fast and snappy. It also looks very cool.

Any1 tried above mention Chinese custom roms

hi, about to buy an optimus 2x, any suggestions?

just broke my galaxy s for the third time, so i think its time to move on. i have to decide to move to an optimus 2x, or an atrix. what u guys think? From what i saw, optimus have a better camera, what means a lot for me, lg have the best cellphone cameras imo. atrix have what it seens a little more speed and more space (16gb)
what do you guys suggest me?

I would not but a LG ever again. Imho Sony camera is much better.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium

sony camera is cool too, but locked bootloader and still no dual core phone (or am i late?)

o2x imo is better than the atrix, the atrix has more memory so if that's what your after then get that, i love the design and shape and size of my o2x and if it wasn't for the ****ty lg support and nvidia ****ing with us by holding back vital drivers needed for ICS dev then this phone would be the best iv ever had.
The camera is pretty great iv never seen the atrix camera so cant compare tho.
The benchmarks tests always seem to show the o2x to be ahead of the atrix even tho they both have a tegra 2 chipset.
But with the customs roms this phone is pretty decent, its fast responsive, get a custom home screen and it will be smooth as you can imagine, the lg home screen is rather choppy but i use it because i like the way you can organize apps and games into separate category rather than just throwing them together into a big mess if you can do that with adw or go launcher then someone please tell me how so i can switch.
I only paid £200 for my o2x brand new so i cant complain too much, defo worth it compared to the 400-500 they are asking for that overpriced crap called the sgs2, decent phone.... ****ty price tag, no phone is worth that much.

In Australia there are close to no people using Optimus 2xes due to no one selling them on plans/contracts. Every second person has a galaxy s2 though so they can't be that bad.
I would lean towards avoiding the atrix due to the locked bootloader. Apparently there's a 50% chance of bricking it.

If you can get it for £300 or less this is an amasing phone with cyangemod on it. Nvidias playing ball now so ics will be brill on here. Theres even rumours that yhe cm team have a alpha build of ics all features working minus camera. Its looking rosey and bright for this phone. I love it plays everything i throw at it, games, vids and music

It's quite possible that they sent RC what he needed, he's been asking them since day one, and is a serious coder, rather than the 'cook' type 'dev'.
I would say get one, the stock GB is apparently much improved over froyo, and CyanogenMod is just great, that's the reason I bought mine in the first place.
If I hadn't have managed to get a freebie, I'd keep mine.

For its money LG O2X is the best phone.

Please, don't buy that phone!
It's have the worst supported in the WORLD.
Nvidia and LG = S**T
I sell my phone, and Im really happy with that choice.
And I don't wanna see that phone again.
The best choice for you is the HTC, more beautiful and intuitive homescreen, custom roms, etc...
And forget about the Galaxy S2, this only good because the Super Amoled, and Camera, nothing more...

Yes you should buy it, looks great and does what its supposed to in no time. Got mine today and it came with Gingerbread out the box.

gr8 phone..
dude its a lovely phone.. go for it.. with stock gingerbread, its awesome no more stupid issues..

the htc high end smartphones not near as fast like the o2x or the sgs2, the hardware component quality is low, if htc not change that it will be died. maybe the rom is good but it just candy.. if you want a phone what is broken often go ahead and buy a htc. i had many htc, i never ever want again.
sgs2 it will be a good choice if isn't very overpriced. by the way the samsung company almost act like the apple, soon booth company will be in the android users blacklist. o2x is a good choice but the stock lg rom is a crap, you need to flash one of the custom roms!

when i was flashing every thing go ok but when the mobile started the only thing i see is
""""
sorry
the application
custom ABKs HIDDEN ( PROCESS COM.HUAWEI.ANDROID CUSTOM APK s hidden )has stopped unexpectedly . please try again
force close
and when i force close it comes again and again and never stops
plz tell me whats going wrong
..If I try any STOCK ROm..that stops half way...update fails..
Now I am STUCK what to do pleeez help..

I just picked one up very happy with it running cm7 only came from a blade tho so much better.

I think it's worth it.
It's a decent dual-core phone, probably not the best. but for 100
I'm not sure you'd get a better deal elsewhere. It overclocks easily
and Jellybean is going to come out and it should be interesting to see
what happens with our LG02X

worth buying WEEELLLL for me it was .... i got one for a lil less than 100euros, for a 2011 high class smartphone its golden (all accessory original box delivery inclued)
funniest i had a GT-I9000 he died, but the cheapest i could find beside that P990 was merely 50/100 euros more ... weird for a 2yrs old middle class smartphone (still the SGS is a wonderfull phone (normal one not S+ or other)
worth it? definitely!
the only thing that bugged me was Nvidia policy wich make the GT-I9000 more lively when it come to custom roms but XDA proved i can get ICS delicacy on mu P990 too

I managed to pick one up for £120 on eBay the other month. Quite chuffed with it so far. It's faster than my previous devices and the screen is much nicer.
I'm currently running Gingerbread MIUI but fancy trying something different.

is it worth it? it all depends on what you wanna do with it, how much patience you have with LG's (lack of) support, and whether you enjoy flashing nightlies/kangs that are still under development.
I bought mine second hand at a similar price as yours, and for me, yes, it was definitely worth it. It's my first smartphone and for the combination of reasons stated above, I have quickly became a flashholic and frequent visitor to the xda. As a results, I've learned a lot about Android phones and became a passionate loyal fan of them, as well as a grateful supporter if the awesome developers in these forums.
So, again, it depends on why you're shopping for one but it was worth it for me.

100eur it is very good deal for the performace which you will get.. Overclock up to 1.5ghz, smooth tegra2 cpu, on stock rom I had weak battery, now i use tamasek's rom and on 1.3ghz it is so much better, but still best results on CM9, but it is useless without a cam and hardware support, so if you want to wait for official ICS release, you should get it. But keep in mind, try to never drop it, it is definitely not shock proof

I said JB in general, mind you once/if the drivers are released for ICS, JB isn't that big a step up. Even if the right drivers aren't released, JB roms should come out for O2X once the source code is out in 2 weeks, whether some things work or not!

For that sort of price you could do a lot worse, I've had a rough relationship with my o2x with it being full of bugs but it's worth it for those times that it does what it's supposed to. The only word of warning is it needs flashing, the stuff LG put on there isn't great so i've warned a few friends off knowing i'd be there technical support when they inevitably brick it, but as your on here I'm sure you'll be fine with this side of stuff.

If LG launched ICS, the devs here on XDA would certainly make a modified version of that ROM, and then we would unleash the phone's real power...
...but since the people at LG are a bunch of retards, I don't think it's worth waiting for an official update...

I agree the display is beautiful... I've got friends using iPhone and they were still surprised how bright the display on this phone was....
Before using it, I had a HTC desire, and if people complained about the LG draining the battery too quickly, compared to my desire, the battery still lasts longer.
And so far, people complain about o2x rebooting for no reason, even if it did happen to me, so far it hasn't been a disturbance...
All in all, I think it is a great phone

Good Bye Optimus 2x

Hi,
I have Just Sold my Optimus 2x and got a new Sony Xperia Pro.It has Been Fun with The O2x Community.Learnt a Lot from the people Here.I Hope You all Get The ICS update Soon.

I feel a huge difference in terms of performance, and the O2X had a habbit of running out of RAM constantly, making it very laggy (this could be helped somewhat using CM7).
And don't even get me started on the whole BSOD while charging issue, that is just annoying - not being able to trust your phone at all (even if the issue seems to be rare with V20s).
The Galaxy Nexus is also capable of playing pretty much any video I can throw at it - even 1080p high profile. The O2X lagged horribly with pretty much any video I tried, mainly because most of my videos are encoded in high profile h264.
But the thing that matters the most is not the hardware, its the software - it is just great to know that you will receive the newest version of the OS in a timely manner, not delays after delays. And the releases are not filled with tons of crap (like F-Secure on the stock ROM or w/e the name of it is).
But to be fair, the O2X is a great phone (on CM7, hoping for ICS soon so it can have CM9), and I would have kept it for myself it if not for the cheap Galaxy Nexus

If you put a dual core on a pile of crap you get o2x. Worst phone ever, i hope to get rid of it soon.

Well today I bought G Nex too. Updated it to JB and it works damn smooth. Now I just have to sell my O2X

Gnex was my first Android phone got it back in January then I got the o2x for my wife then a gtab 10.1 and recently a gnote.. Tbh gnex its an hyper boring phone.. That thing its unbrickable and every rom out there its the same boring thing.. Noone likes to "change the stock feel" same features in all roms and stable as hell..
Everything works as it should.. And the forum its boring as hell.. Same applies for gnote.. But I kept gnote stock with touchwiz since I have cm9 on my gtab and stock jelly bean on the gnex... So actually I like the stress here and gtab forums about waiting for the releases xD

If you put a dual core on a pile of crap you get o2x. Worst phone ever, i hope to get rid of it soon.

I do not agree, the ROMs for the Galaxy Nexus might look pretty much the same on first glance, but the features are way different, for example Paranoid Android allows you to choose tablet mode and DPI per app.
Pretty much all ROMs built for the O2X are based on CyanogenMod.

02x is a good phone.. I just wish it wouldn't randomly lock up. I can't really ever trust it , in stressful situations like trying to open GPS while lost in Sydney traffic is sometimes is slow or freezes.
can't unlock from boot straight away because it might freeze etc.
I would like a more reliable phone.

Yeah, I plan to sell my P990 and get a Galaxy Nexus too... If ICS comes to the P990 by then I may change my mind, but if not, I'm not sure how I'll sell it.
"LG P990 'Optimus 2X' dual-core smartphone.
"Runs Cyanogenmod 7 (Android 2.3), no promises of any more updates though.
"Performance is up there with the SGSII, but overheating and random reboots are normal."
...yeah, I wouldn't buy it.

My partner has an Xperia Pro. Apparently ICS is available (officially) for it? I've not seen it yet, and she's not willing to unlock it and get CM9 onto it. :/
Anyhoo, this forum is not the place to ask that.
...of course, that's at no fault of the community. Mostly it's LG's fault. Not necessarily for not releasing updates/drivers/etc, but for using awful, closed hardware.
Ah well. I'll hang around in the meantime. I'm not much of a dev, so I'm with the lurking crowd, complaining in these threads about LG and NVIDIA with the rest of y'all.
For those devs hanging around here, <3 you guise. Thanks for making this phone usable, maybe even enjoyable. ICS devs in particular, your patience (if any remains) is amazing, putting up with LG's silence and peeps like us demanding a 100% stable ROM. I imagine most of us understand the situation though. ^_^

Paranoid its also based on cm9.. All the features ARE the same with some slightly differences in ui.. All they have theme engine all the have toggles all they have integrated weather, all they have extended power menu, all they have t9 dialer, all they have twickable cpu/gpu settings, all they have color correction settings, all they have power savings options.. In the end they are all the same as for the tablet mode I have a tablet and it's not attractive to me in fact I like phone mode more and Wish I could get a paranoid android for tablet that turns the tablet into phone mode lol.. Well at least jelly bean brings that to the table I love the fact that the notification bar its in the top side of the screen just like the phone does.. So Google managed to consolidate even more the OS for tablet and phones making it looks and feels almost the same on both..

So the problem is that there are no problems with the Galaxy Nexus, which makes it boring?

I aslo sold my O2X yesterday and bought a SGS3, what a difference. Like going from a Fred Flinstone "car" to a Lamborghini Spyder.
