Had to sort out my Brothers HTC Desire last night, reinstalling everything after a repair.
It was embarrassing seeing how fast installations were.
Apps downloaded, installed and the phone was instantly ready to go.
My O2x on the other hand grinds to a halt when installing anything. I updated 4 apps last night and my phone was pretty much unusable during the downloads and installation.
After the apps were installed it still sat there for a good 30secs at 99-100% CPU usage.
The phone was stuttering and unusable until the Processor settled down.
I remember when I got this phone I was telling my brother about the Dual core processor etc. This may sound good but it's useless if it falls over when doing the most simple of tasks and gets outperformed by something running half the power
yes, a very annoying bug, welknown by everyone - except LG
very embarrising for LG
Yep, a pretty good cockup by LG. Custom ROMs don't have this 'feature' though.
is there any way to sort this without resorting to a custom ROM?
No, you'd need to wait for LG to sort it.

hmmm that means waiting for LG to acknowledge there is a problem
Looks like there could be a long wait ahead. lol
The fix will be out before end of March next year, maby. As soon as we (LG) sorted the reboot and BSOD issue we (LG) will start working on your problem.
So in two weeks a year from now we promise you there will be a solution, if not sometime in spring 2013 for sure.
Althou we (LG) can't promise anything.
If you buy your telephone after summer 2013 you will be able to upgrade it to Gingerbread straight out of the box. Congrats!

There is a patch that Paul has made a week after the phones release.
r2-stock-performance-pack
And here is the explanation why this happens.
Explanation
Note the date of the post and mind that the phone was released In Europe In the last May weeks / begin of April.
If only every Android phone manufacturer gave their phones to Paul before release.

Well... that performance pack was crap!... bootloop!...

And now i have problems with CWM recovery.. :S
ASS!... just had everything tweaked... no backup working :S

Well, sorry to hear you ran into problems.
It worked with Baseband 0405.

I looked at that but had also heard it didn't fix the lag.
My other concern was would Flashing CWM Recovery affect getting official updates OTA
I'm sure someone has said before that LG updates fail if you have a custom recovery
If they're a standard update.zip then they should still install on ClockworkMod recovery.
i dont get it, am i the only one without any sort of lag when dling/installing apps ? it just does it, and pretty darn fast too.
what the hell. and im on STOCK, no performance patches or nothing, only rooted and some stuff frozen. v10B
I have a lag as well. Like you just rooted with some apps uninstalled.
I kinda accept it though. My thoughts are that FSecure is scanning the install and therefore that's what's causing the problem. It's worse if you update say 4-5 apps at once.
TBH I'm not worried. I'm the kinda guy who just leaves a PC installing and hass a cup of tea. Same difference here really isn't it?
It's not F-Secure, it does it with that removed.

This is what i've been told from LG after emailing them regarding the matters of 2.3 update.
Refer to your inquiry, the Android 2.3 OS firmware is on the progress testing and debugging for P970. It is targeted will be available at the beginning of October or early for update*. I wish to thank for your email inquiry.

Maybe we should give them a lawsuit too. It has been confirmed for September-Late September-Early October.
I'm glad to hear it is being tested now, it should be a good sign.
Agreed....i hope after 2.3 update, the phone will have a higher results in quadrant....expected to see some performance though...LOL

Dude, Quadrant is just wrong... it doesn't show the true potential of the phone, I get 2600 on Quadrant with my Optimus Black.
october looks pretty late.
i`d appreciate cyanogenmod rather.
yeah pretty late... unlike HTC have completed the upgrades to gingerbread for all their supported phones.
i dunno if we get an ice cream after ginger...

I hate hearing rumors, I really do. But I'm going to start one because mine has some merit to it. I have a friend of mine that works for Verizon. I told him I wouldn't state his name or what "department" he works in when I made this post. I was talking to him on the phone just about 45 minutes ago about the Revolution and how we're dying to get Gingerbread and how some people are actually getting rid of the Revo for fear that it will never get GB. Here's the conversation that took place.
Me: I just really wish we'd get it already. It would help out with development so much.
Him: Dude, whatever you do, don't get rid of your Revo.
Me: Haha, I'm not but why?
Him: You guys should be getting the soak test soon and as long as it goes good all Revos will have it by mid or late October.
Me: Don't bull**** me, how do you know?
Him: Trust me, it just came through an email 2 days ago. I meant to call you but I couldn't remember if you had actually bought the Revo or just waited for something different.
Me: Damn man that's awesome! You better not be bullshitting me.
Him: I'll put it this way, I put my paycheck on it.
Me: That's awesome man, hey can I tell people about our convo?
Him: I don't care, just don't use my name or where I work.
Me: Kinda HAVE to tell people where you work or I'll look like a retard hahaha.
Him: Oh ok but don't tell them what department I work in or anything. I already almost got fired a while back for putting out some info about the Bionic hahaha.
Me: Alright cool, hey thanks man. You have no idea how happy a lot of people are going to be when we get GB.
The rest of the convo was filled with nonsense talk about times past (and girls haha). Just thought I should share this info with you guys!
Loving this. I want GB!!!
I'm speechless
Thanks for the news.

a Soak Test is when the send out the update to a select few people and make sure that the update works in the real world with out breaking anything.

Soak testing is testing a system with a significant load over an extended period of time to discover how things act over a long period.
What he is saying is there are Revo's out there with 2.3.4 already installed on them. Verizon employees will carry and use a Revo on a daily basis with 2.3 loaded to see how it performs, what glitches arise etc...
If you play video games its kind of like an beta test only its not generally open to the public. During this time they also test the push out of the update to the phone to make sure everything will go smooth when they start pushing it to thousands at once.

what i read, someone is getting thecubed a leak of GB and that will help him get CM7 going faster..

Its probably the same leak the cubed has been waiting for. This will help him get the files to port over cm7. Great to hear!

Just want to update you guys a little more from my newest conversation.
Unfortunately he is in no position to get us a leak.
He works for tech support and received an email stating to be ready for possible high call volumes in about 2-3 weeks as the Gingerbread soak test begins for the LG Revolution. That was about all the email said.
Again though, this is in no way going to help us get a leak. Sorry guys.

"Home-Less and Iconic"Ok so think we should drop back into the original ROM with the
V6 update? maybe luck out and get an update in the next 2-3 weeks
Hmmm?
Might be worth having a stock phone if it got the OTA update with gingerbread in it.
Think i'm going to check out Revolt 1.4 tonight and go back to stock in the morning.
Please, any thoughts on this?

I wouldn't worry about going to back to stock just yet. According to the email, the soak isn't even going to start unil about 2-3 weeks from Monday the 12th.
Not sure how lg does it but you can sign up for these soak test with motorola they will even send them out to a few people who have gotten root access and have gotten back to stock as close as possible without having root access. check the droid 3 forums they just either did one or just sent out the invite to join the soak test.

While the Revo is a great single core phone... Hardware wise.
Bionic:
1. Dual Core future proof
2. 2.3.4 out of the box
3. Gorilla glass screen
4. qHD
5. 8mp Camera
6. 1745 MaH battery
7. 1080p Video recording
8. For the non-rooted - No Bing.

Although I agree with most of what you said is better here, I sure wouldn't say that dual core is future proof. They had already began discussing quad core before the first dual core even came out.

Not a rumor - we have always known GB was coming. This is partly why Cubed had delayed his CM7 development.

Throwing more cores at a device does not necessarily increase performance, either, unless the application base and operating system takes full advantage of them for multi-threading.
Case in point: Most hard-core games on a PC that came out over the past 5 years will run the same, if not better on a single or dual core machine as they did on a quad core. What really makes the difference is architecture, clockspeed, application architecture, and most importantly (assuming the apps use it) GPU implementation!
Assuming all apps were hardware accelerated on an Android, you would care more about the GPU then you would the CPU. Being that a lot of apps are not hardware accelerated, or take advantage of aggressive multi-threading, you may actually see a performance drop on the Bionic depending on the implementation of the devices core implementation (much like the scores from the Atrix showed).
The hype of more cores = smoother experience is bunk. It's just a spec and numbers war. More cores = possibility of more apps running seamlessly at once, but only if the architecture is there to support it.
Hello people of XDAA
Ok... So, recently i just bought this phone for about 1 week ago. And I often (almost every day) use it to play 'heavy games" such as Dead trigger and Heroes call for about 2 and a half hour in total but with 10 minutes break in the middle of the session. And of course just like any other phones it will get hot. But, my question here is. Is there any longterm effect because of this heating issue ? By hot that I've just stated, the temperature would be between 37 - 38 degrees C. And and at one time, I encounter lagging because the hottnes from the nvidia tegra chip (correct me if I'm wrong
Welll, I'm okay with the heat, but what I am concerning right now is the performance of the phone because of the heavy daily dose that it get)
So please XDA help me with these, I've called the Customer Service and all the solution I get was to make a damn BREAK within the game session.
Sorry for long post people, thanks by the way

The biggest issue use to be the language but European version have Spanish soo... I think that's not a problem for Argentina. The phone works with all base bands, even if it's not the specific version to Argentina it will work as well. To upgrade you'll need to do it manually and I recommend the v10h, its the latest and I don't have any heat problems. Search on the forum about wich apps you can freeze and un install in order to save battery.

That is the normal operation in this moment.
Maybe future implementations will correct that.
In case you will use watchmaker for example, that lag is 3x longer ... it's like the time will freeze for a while .

Thank you ro_explorer for the fast reply!
I was talking with LG support and told me that is not normal! That a fail of watch so must be replaced!
sadly, it is normal - but hopefully not for long
you can try to switch to one of the Android Wear default faces (not the LG ones, try Simple)
there the delay should be virtually nonexistend
and have a look at this - its really bad on watchmaker, but i like the app so much that I'm putting up with it

But think about it, If I show a video about the problem to LG and they told me that is a hardware problem... and only saw a little number of users with that problem, I could think that the problem is hardware....
Then u mean that everybody have the last software version and only 4 users report that the lag is a known software? Something is wrong here....
I get this lag too with a custom whatchmaker whatchface.
I have finals all next week so I am very busy with that. I already know what file i need to change and how to change it. I went digging in the moto 360 forums and they have the commands there. I will get back to this after my exams.

Don't have lag like in the first watch
So if u have lag problems like video, share it with LG and then change ur watch for another one
Thank you all for the support!
About mini launcer...after install apps sometimes it become lagger...factory restart watch and often the problem will be solved (tryed now and for me works)
About facemaker dont know (i use facer).

I have the impression that any non-standard thingy creats trouble. If I charge overnight with a custom watchface, I have to reboot to get cards. With a standard face, never any problems. Weird...
