[Q] Is the Optimus 2X laggy?

Hello,
I want to ask optimus 2X owners something,
I read a review on engadget
And they say that the optimus 2X's software is laggy and that the memory is not enough
Is that true? or can I buy my optimus 2X without any doubt?
Thank you

No, retail software 2.2.2 is stable and not laggy.

It was very fast until the new rom update that sprint put out. Now everything just crawls. Used to have root as well. Now just looking to maybe get a different rom loaded

lag?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App

Mine is rooted, some applications frozen - I have noticed nothing i would call lag.

Well, I disagree with recent sentiment in this thread.
It does lag.
No terribly so but it's patently obvious that some processes don't use SMP and as a result lag is evident.
Whenever the package manager is accessed or a notification comes in the phone seems to go into serial processing mode and effectively hands processor priority to the system app.
In my opinion this is software related and is fixed in Honeycomb - these lags are not apparent on a Moto Xoom (2.3) but they are apparent on a Moto Atrix (2.2).
Examples:
Play a CPU intensive game and force a notification, watch it momentarily stall.
Queue a lot of Market downloads and wait till they start "installing" - try using your phone.

Are you sure you are talking about the right phone? i think you are in the wrong section, this is about the Optimus 2X, not Optimus S...

My homescreen is almost always laggy.
Weather animation lags to.
The phonecall quality is also bad.
Its not what i've expected from a dual core phone and
Im not 100% happy with this gadget.

laggy? I would say it got some certain hangtimes on occasions...
at 1st, there was no lags, now I had it for about 14 days, and its filled up with a lot off apps. I get hangtimes when installing a new app. That was not the situation in the beginnning. Also got some hangtimes when exiting some apps on occasion.
I found a workaround though.
I rooted, installed autokiller (not a usual task killer as you might think of) and Cache Cleaner NG.
Also, I installed Titanium backup, and "froze" or uninstalled unnessecary apps, stock apps etc. Now I got a lot more free ram, and a quicker ROM.
I use Zeam Launcher and I have frozen LG launcher.
But don't get to worried. When android 2.3 comes around, it will be much faster, as 2.2 doesn't support dual core + 2.3 is much more optimized.
Battery life + user experince will increase tenfold or more
The best phone till date in my oppinion.
looking forward to HTC Pyramid though, which I dont expect to be around the next 6 months, and by then, I'm able to get a new phone

The LG Launcher is not really that good, not laggy but not super responsive either. I user LauncherPro and haven't experienced any lag at all. I'm amazed at this phones speed.

Got my optimus 4x today:DDDDD BUT

i must say, this phone is amazingly fast! i just wounder: i got it with v10a, and it is v10f now, and there is still updates for it. everytime i update and reboot there is a new update. i just want to now, what has changed from v10 a and up to the latest update.whats the inprovments? and ALSO, my screen is very good,but, all around the sreen, there is there is like 2-3mm of black space,why? thank u!

You have the white 4x? I have the black one and you don't notice that black space. Also the latest software improves camera focus quite a lot. Still bad on close up shots but the app cameramx is fixing that close up focus issue quite nicely. Also latest update improves battery. That's the major improvements I can think off. Yes screen is nice. I think it beats the s3 screen and is closely to the hox screen.

yeah, i have the white one.. i figure that the black spot was not to bee seen on the black version. the screen is so impressive. the whole phone is. i think i didnt expect it because it is so cheap compared to the more expensive quad cores. couldnt be more happy

I honestly always thought that lg makes good phones. Even the 2x speed was a great piece of hardware the software was bad. LG made everything better on the 4x and the optimus g is great and also the nexus 4. Those are all lg and since lg has a bad reputation that makes their products cheaper but not less impressive. I didn't keep my s3 or hox. And sold them and got the 4x. The screen is better then the s3 and has not the burnin issue. And the hox has a way worse battery. The only thing is still no software update and no fully root. LG is not good in updating phones.

no doubt. The 4x is my first LG smartphone. i had many phones, ut this phone is so amazingly quick. i can do everything without to mutch lag. i have som problems in games? i dont know why. but i have some small lags. i tried gta3 for the first time on this phone today, and it frozed in the first mission. weard. but i hope we get unlocked bootloader soon, cause this phone with jellybean would be amazing. i remeber my galaxy s2 with jellybean rom was very fast, so i imagin this will bee too. not that it is slow now, but it never gets good enough i guess i contacted lg the other day, and they only said that the jelly bean is on its way. nothing about when or so.

As for gaming. Install if u r rooted something like setcpu set it to 1500 MHz without any lowest 1500 MHz as welland performance and games should be performing fine.
For jelly Bens is supposebly coming 1st quarter of 2013

[Q] Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour

Hey,
I've been wanting to buy Modern Combat for some days now, but.... I don't know how it runs on my o4x? Has anyone already bought the game, and is able to tell me if it runs smooth? Because I think it's a bummer if you spend 6 bucks on a game that doesn't even run propper on your device. So please let me know!
Thanks,
Luuk

I would wait till it goes on sale. Gameloft games usually go on sale at around XMAS time.

im using v10e original rom but game not smooth lagging in open areas and crowded areas. Sorryfor bad english. I hope if 4.1 come they fix all game problems.. But its LG :crying:

Plz can you upload a video of mc4 on lg o4x on youtube?

Ever since I got cyanogenmod 10.1 every game seems to run much smoother! So a couple of months ago it ran ok, with some lag here and there. But I think now it'll run allright, with little to no lag

Our phone has issues with running the gpu at low clocks, that's why this game lags. To improve the framerate you can lock the GPU frequency using this tutorial:

Asphalt 7 lags

Hey guys,
I just bought Asphalt 7 from Gameloft website but the game has low fps.
I tried fixing the CPU to 1500 and 1300 MHz but still low fps !
How come the game works fine on HTC One X without modification but lags on our device?

It's probably due to the processor governor. If your phone is rooted, try to install any cpu set app (some are availavle for free in Play Store). Then set your cpu governor to Performance. The default governor on our phone is Interactive.

I tried filling the customer support form, I usually always get a response but none in this case, perhaps the jellybean update (if it ever comes) will give better performance, as benchmarks suffered on the 10h update to increase battery life I'm guessing this is why some games run scrappy, especially nova 3 as the graphics are insane!

With stock kernel 1000000000 custom ROMs won't change that but, with well tweaked custom kernel, even stock ROM will be another world...

True! But with the JB update supposedly the boot-loader is going to be unlocked thus giving developers an opportunity to integrate custom kernels.

It looks to me, comparing videos that p880 video has more details (road surface on one x video looks cleaner like it is simpler rendered). Probably you should somehow adjust rendering details.

I've tried DH on stock and CM (without changing kernel) and it's totally fine for me when the phone is cool.
The problem is WHEN THE PHONE IS COOL! put an ice bag to the back of the phone should solve the throttle.
jk, I have a small netbook fan and put the phone on it every time I play game
Another point to consider is check if you set the GPC frequency to too low, I use the setting: CPU 1000MHz x4, GPU 225MHz

Some custom kernels (e.g. werewolf) allow the phone to operate properly at higher temperatures (i think sth. about 80°C, LG standard is about 70°C).

I know, but it will kinda not good for the battery, the skin temp default is 43 but kernel starts to throttle at 40, werewolf kernel push it to 50 (as far as I remember). anw, it still produce a lot of heat and might potentially throttle again. Raising the alarm threshold is not a cure, just make the phone not throttle easily. Ice bag is better
