Database Develop

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.

Let you tell your the truth of in my country.
Both 2X and Nexus are US$400. Are they too expensive?

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.

Buy me 4x and i will start development kidding never mind. Soon you will have dev section. Contact mod to open a 4x section

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.

Unfortunately I don't know because I haven't bought a microSD for this phone because it comes with 12.5 GB built in and that's enough for me for 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

Are you fu..ing crazy!?

2x is far better than ace! In fact you cant even compare ace with 2x!

You should get the 2x, you could get good hardware and a solid phone.

Comparing the Ace to the 2X is like comparing a Lada to a Mercedes... 2X all the way.
In fact, 35 euros only? I'd actually be wary - be sure to carefully inspect the 2X for things like water damage or severely reduced battery capacity before making the exchange. You wouldn't want to exchange a perfectly working Lada for a Mercedes that's riddled with problems, after all.

Here is a rough chart See How the 2X is waaaay better

A lot of my friends have got the ace.. it is slower and the screen of o2x is much better. When will arrive a complete cm10 the optimus 2x will be a fantastic smartphone..
Inviato dal mio LG-P990 con Tapatalk 2

Test the O2X before... if it has no errors, then I would definitely buy it.

Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

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.

2X p990 got the Jellybean 4.1 Cyanogen update recently

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

Was happy for it but will probably change once nexus 4 comes out, it gets slow way too fast on any rom

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.

advice ?? Buy it or not to buy it? I was thinking to go for a Xperia sola new one if not the optimus 2X 2nd hand one.
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

LG O2x vs Sony Xperia P

Hi guys, got offer to exchange my Optimus for Xperia P. Just wanted to know what do you think. I checked many reviews, but still cant decide. Is Xperia P better than Optimus 2x? I usualy use my phone for games, music and calls/text. Can Xperia P handle newer games good? Thanks for any response
EDIT: Noticed I posted in bad section, should be Q&A right? Sorry

Well had both also... O2X performs better... More fun also... And display is miles miles better.

Maybe you forgot that lg optimus 2x was lg flagship and sony xperia p is mid end phone so it is like a ferrari f430 and mercedes c63
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium

I have both and I think Xperia P is the correct choose, better camera, better display and official JB support.
Walkman and Album apps are awesome and better call sound than my old optimus 2x.

I'd choose the P too. It will get Jelly Bean, has more RAM, and probably a better camera. I personally like their stock ROMs more too.

o2x best display better than amoled, good power,camera,vast community support
but also a 3 year old phone, less ram.
p dont hav power like o2x,but gud for daily use.if o2x giving u prob go for p. but if it dont stick with it,still one of the best and after custom ics and few mod to camera app ready to rock again
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

O2x is still better in my opinion.. because is have much more community support like here on xda..

O2x better display?
did you try to read a email with sun light?
Yes, Xperia P's display is not a IPS or AMOLED but It has whitemagic technology (RGBW pattern) and more resolution.
Optimus 2x is more powerful but Xperia P is better for smartphone use (or multimedia use).
I'm not a fanboy but seriously, get the Xperia P, or wait for a new Xperia 2013

Good decision

anything is better than this peice of crap, lack of support from LG with regards to "keeping up with compatibility" and maximizing their phone users experience. NULL AND VOID!.
and to make it worse. the battery time is enough to make you cry. especialy when you wish you saved for a s3 instead. =( but your right i did want to have the 1st dualcore phone =( payed hefty for it 2

2x
Friend has xpera p but not as good as the 2x.
games running better on 2x, stronger hardware, etc.
the sony might has better support but who cares, we have xda :laugh:

I love my o2x,very good hardware and wolfson dac.Only issue is the battery but with help from devs it is ok.
