Yesterday I purchased the LG Optimus 2x however after a day or so of use I notice that sometimes when I tap on an icon etc. it will not respond and I have to tap it a second time. This happens every 5 minutes. It seems I don't have a touch sensitivity issue when using downloaded apps. (I may be wrong). What is my problem? I have to also point out that my hands are sometimes a bit sweaty? Could this be the cause? Should I return it and get another one?
Upgrade to the latest version of the firmware and you should be fine. As I recall this used to happen on the first few versions of Froyo. (Android 2.2)
If you already have updated, I guess you can try another Launcher.
You think so?

Alright. So you're sure it's not my phone? Aswell I cannot update my phone to stock GB since the LG update tool says my phone is already updated. However it's on android 2.2.2? When will the update tool be up and working again, I really want the update And I don't want to void my warranty by rooting. (Although I have rooted my two previous phones, HTC Dream and HTC Hero.

I cannot be sure without physical access to the device. All I can say is that this used to happen on the early Froyo versions, and disappeared after a few updates. I'd say it's a strong indication your device is fine and that the firmware is to blame.

Well, that's a bummer. I searched a bit and found information that Fido has upgraded to 2.3, but as a OTA update. Have you tried that? (Settings/About phone/Upgrade... or something similar.)

There is no such option on the LG P990hN for fido, but I really need the update. Anything I can do?

Within the parameters you've given (no rooting) I guess the only options left are to take it to a Fido retailer and tell them to upgrade it for you or exchange it for another model, or search the internet high and low for a smartflash or kdz-rom (official p990hn firmwares) you can flash.
I think you should contact Fido about the matter in some way or other. The Fido O2X GB release should be out by now (27. jan.), so someone forgot to flip a switch.

Exactly! It should be out! It's rediculous that it's not updating. I already messaged LG and today I will be speaking with Fido. This is very frustrating, especially with the glitchy firmware I have to deal with 24 7. Thanks for the help

Most definitely. LG software is really crappy and CM7 is very smooth indeed so you might wanna try that.
Also you could try GO Launcher, maybe that improves your phone a bit.

I'm so glad someone has the same problem as me. I'm sure it's the firmware the phone is running though. Hopefully :s. Keep my updated!

Same problem here. Unfortunately still after switching to Miui. Same problem.
Now I wonder: Is it the screen or the system that lags and causes this issue?
So i read this morning that there is a new .124 firmware certified. And I'm wondering if the 114 firmware ever got released, but I don't think I've seen to much about it. Seems like there is also no widely accepted root method for 290 either. So what should we be waiting for now? Is the 114 update available yet, maybe through the PC companion or should I be waiting now for 124. Also I'm still on the Chinese firmware (just took the update in PC companion as my phone is from China) and wondering if this has any effect on me getting the ota.
I want to avoid updating anything with flashtool to avoid any potential soft bricking issues so many are experiencing.
In the end I just want stock with root. I'm holding off on anything until I know we will have a single firmware for an extended period. Can anyone clarify what's going on?

you already summed up good. we have new device and new firmware coming in a short period of time. also rooting becomes more difficult because of androids security changes.
actually i also think about going back stock and waiting for stable long term root.

Ok thanks. Just wanted to confirm I had the right understanding. Now we play the waiting game I guess.

I had problems on 4.3 but haven't had any problems since I upgraded to kitkat. If you're still on 4.3 try flashing the fix in this thread
GPS toolbox apps might also help like GPS Status & Toolbox or GPS Fix...but I think those just speed up the GPS connection they don't really "fix" anything
Im on stock kit kat

This thread might be able to help...it's a little old but I think it covers everything that everyone has tried to fix GPS issues
Another possibility is it's a hardware problem which you might be able to fix yourself following instructions here
Past sending it in for repair I'm out of ideas maybe someone else can be more helpful here
I have heard the newest maps messed stuff up. Try uninstalling the update or find one apk and see if that fixes

nuclear option is reflash your ROM (factory reset for stock if you don't want to mess with Odin) and see if that fixes it...

If you got it through AT&T a warranty exchange should be pretty quick but your call! I don't think I'd last more than a couple of days without GPS :laugh:
No I bought it out right
Waiting for the new note 4 to do a contract so get a discount on it
RELEVANT TO US BECAUSE WHEN WE GET THE UPDATE, IT LOCKS THE BOOTLOADER.
IF THEY LOCK IT FOR THE S6 EDGE, THEY'LL LOCK IT FOR THE S6!
DO NOT TAKE THE OTA IF YOU DON'T WANT A LOCKED BOOTLOADER.
Unassuming Galaxy S6 edge users are in for a surprise, as T-Mobile appears to be rolling out a freshly cooked OTA based on Android version 5.1.1 Lollipop for the device. The catch, however, it is so far reported only on the T-Mobile network.
XDA forums user Sunderwear mentioned about the OTA a couple of hours back (at the time of writing this story). Urged by other users of the device, the poster also uploaded a video of his Galaxy S6 edge running the latest firmware. The video can be found at the end of this article.
As noted from the narration, the update also locks the bootloader on the device.
So, how many of you have already received the update? What do you think of it?
Source: http://www.sammobile.com/2015/04/29/android-5-1-1-ota-being-rolled-out-on-t-mobile-for-the-s6-edge/
Looks like someone in the Edge forum was able to downgrade the bootloader and flash TWRP but still, tread carefully.

ok I downgraded the Bootloader ONLY and I was able to flash TWRP...dumping a system.img copy..

Honestly I'm caring less and less about roms but I like the option. Here is some possible good news from a trustworthy guy
jcase said:
Korean variants seem to be getting an app that unlocks the bootloader, I bet we start seeing that for other variants as well (except verizon/att).
This is a good thing, not a bad thing people!

Coming from the ROM Flashing mecca of HTC and finding a place in Samsung is.. weird to say the least. I find that there are only minor things I need that require root but I no-longer need the overhaul that I needed with HTC. It's too weird.

I see you edited your signature!
If/when anyone gets this update try to grab the update before taking it. Also, the bootloader Doesn't actually get locked.

BOOM. Bootloader news is great news
Isn't it odd that just one guy has gotten the update? T-mobile has sold hundreds of thousands of these units and only one guy got an OTA?
I'll believe it when I see it.
Is it possible to do the update if we are rooted? And I mean UPDATE not flash the entire new release.

This type of thing might happen with a lot of updates. You need to remember the rooting/moding community is very small compared to the people who just use their phone as is. So if anything I think its weird that someone in this community got the update.
Hey I hope it's true, I for one hope it fixes the memory management and battery issues.
According to this guy, it looks like the XDA member was part of a "Soak Test", or he is a guinea pig. Hopefully it doesn't take months to test it.

They're really not, actually. I imagine it would boot. My guess is touch screen wouldn't work though.

Damn I wish this would leak for AT&T. 5.0.1 TW has a bigger memory leak than stock 5.0.1 on my Nexus. This needs to be rolled out ASAP, but I know it won't.
So i rooted my new nexus 6 and installed chroma rom. every thing was fine till i noticed a small part of the screen flicker. it was like a black line coming and going as soon as i took it off charging it was fine. this was after i installed the rom there was nothing like this on the stock one. also when i open the camera app i can hear a small click/ crackle sound. this happened in the stock rom too but with the snapchat app. its irritating and i cant find a fix anywhere. and lastly whats with the network issue? it suddenly comes and goes. i checked it and it showe 0dbm and 99 asu?is this common? tried to find a fix but all i got was lots of unanswered threads. as being a student who need to use this phone for a long time can anyone tell me if all this is fixable ? or do i need to get a replacement as im still in my 30 day return period. thanks in advance and sorry if all this issues are already in a post and have fixes just post me the link as i could find it
being a student who needs the use of the phone for long periods of time.. what are you foing moddifying your device. no custom rom will be bug free. even though whtyever bugs dont bother me, they seem to bug you. why dont you just stay stock with root if those issues are bugging you.

I know no roms are bug free, just wanted to know if these are common software issue and not a bad device that i got. And on the other hand i used my s3 for 2.5-3 yrs with custom roms and stuff simply as i enjoy running them and seeing all the amazing stuff people can do with skill that was the main reason i got a nexus
