Hey guys, and girls,
I am due to pick up my 4X in a couple of days and I was wondering is there anything I need to check on the phone before leaving the shop.
My One X, which will still be my main phone, had a few issues when released. We had a checklist of things to check just to make sure the handset was in top order before we left the shop. Is there anything like that I should be wary of. I don't want to get home and sudden find out that x or y is a common fault with the handset and a quick check in store before I left could have saved me a headache.
Cheers.
EDIT: I know this is a question and has grounds to have been posted in the Q&A section. I thought since it was more a general question I would post it here. But if the mods wish to move it over to Q&A that is cool

I had zero problems with mine just remember the phone comes with two smart tags. Some people try to sell them with one or none and take one for themselves.

I don't know about any problems with the device that could be checked in store (actually I don't know about any problems it could have)
The only thing that you could possibly check is that if you press the border and the center of the back (and also the place where your fingers will be) slightly it should not feel like there is a little gap between the back and the phone (not a big issue but I nearly went mad about this with my 2X)

I still wonder why there isn't a third one for sleeping mode.

Well I personally think LG makes great phones besides their bad software but actually with their 4X they made a pretty decent job out of the box. And they 4X is a great phone. And since LG has so much a bad reputation. Their phones are way cheaper. The LG 4X is better then the One X and in par with the S3 screen wise I would say the one x has the best then just barely a difference the lg 4x then the s3 outside in sunlight I would say 4x one x and s3.

But this one is a new LG. The Optimus G. Well this is a pretty piece of hardware. http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-g-officially-official?style_mobile=0

The 4x is *not *better than the one x or the s3 - please stop the fanboy nonsense. I know because I have both of them and the 4x. and the galaxy nexus, which is the best of the lot.
On the positive, the 4x is very fast. Faster than the one x and the s3 in many operations. Where it falls down is that the software is sometimes flaky, particularly the camera software, which is awful. As is the stock email client. But the rest is actually pretty good and I love the form factor.
Lets not forget that the one x was flaky when it was released too so hopefully lg will fix things very quickly.
I have always loved the look of LG phones. The Prada to me is one of the nicest looking phones and UI's of all time. Just a shame about the Prada name on it.
And I gave never really owned a LG before, the 5 days I had an Optimus P350 does not count as it was just a temporary phone that I gave away after.
As what phone is 'better'. There is no such thing. There is only a better phone for you. What I demand out of a phone and what the person beside me demands are two different things. My good lady for example is still rocking the P350 stock. While it is perfect for her it would drive me up the wall. She won't even let me root it lol

A bad stock email client is not good for me. Perhaps the one from my One X will work in it.

Newest software update fixed the camera issues pretty much. And think about it. The 4X is like a 100 bucks cheaper then the one x and even more cheaper then the S3 and u get a great phone. And removan\ble Battery and memory unlike u do with the HTC ONE X and i had all 3 phone s the S3 the ONE X and the 4X i kept the 4X i mean i was able to sell the S3 for 650 Euro for the 64gb version i Paid 1 Euro on contract lol the ONE X i was able to sell for 400 Euro Paid One Euro. I wouldnt had get that for the LG 4X, so no brainer to sell them and keep a great phone. Didnt like the ONE X the non removable battery is bad. The battery is bad it sucks and not being able to swap it is just bad. Android isnt Apple so what the hell i got rid of it so fast. The 4X has 2100 baTTERY LIKE THE S3 has. and removable if u wanna pop in a different one. And since there is root now on the 4X u can use that LG app that allows to select the 5 core that is made to save battery if not used instead using 4 in idle it is i think a 400 mhz 5 core i get great battery life out of it. On paar with the s3 and even some. The ONE X so bad Battery life just bad.

In the LG 4X the camera is bad in this aspect, but can change the software with some programing. In the Optimus 3D,2X, and more, the camera is bad,and have a software created by the developers.

Hi every one
I was thinking to change my galaxy nexus to LG optimus 4x HD .
And I was wondering if LG will ever unlock the bootloader
If lg wont unlock the bootloader I will not buy this phone
Sent From My Google GALAXY NeXuS
Nexus is a good phone. Why change it? You have newest updates and launcher is smoother than on LG. My girlfriend has Galaxy Nexus and I like it more than my 4X.
There is a high propability that LG will never unlock bootloader. Nobody knows if or when it will be unlocked, because LGs information politic is horrible.

LG O4X is an awesome device and really attractive, but still until now there is no boot-loader unlocker. So, I think LG will not let this device dead because if they don't make the device unlocked bootloader, the customer will not buy any product of LG .. They will lose much money ( Disaster )
I really make sure that the boot-loader will unlock
Best regards,

@Ozeer, you think that LG cares about that?
Most part of the people use the phone like they use the car, the computer, etc... they turn on use what/how they know/can and while it works its perfect.
If I knew for example that the camera was so bad, I'd choosed another phone independentely of the bootloader be or not locked.
Camera its an issue, cause if the bootloader is locked, most part of the people don't even know what that is but, a bad camera no one wants.
I'm in the same situation. I've got a Galaxy Nexus but I hate the grainy screen and lack of expandable memory. I'm just gonna order the LG 4X and try it out. If I don't like it I can always send it back. The lack of custom rom development is a bit worrying.

The 4X's screen is superb, but the Galaxy Nexus' one didn't seem that bad. Expendable memory is one thing, but the encrypted bootloader results in zero development for this device. LG doesn't care, they earn their money with fridges and TVs and it seems they blow out new mobile phones every month.

I'm pretty sure I got one with a duff screen. But I bought it in Malaysia and I'm now in London.
I've been flashing custom roms weekly since 2006 so It might be a fun challenge to not flash a custom rom for a whole year or two.
DONT
wait for the new nexus *thats what im doing*
probably gonna go with the new htc dlx or optimus nexus 4
The 4x hd is great even the camera doesn't seem to be an issue at all. And I even kept the 4x as my daily driver sold the s3 one x and even didn't keep my note and note 2. This phone offers the best boom for the buck and it does everything the one x does and the screen seems nicer on the 4x then the screen on the s3. And this device is very good looking. The it seems smaller then the s3 actually. I didn't had one issue with this phone and battery seems pretty decent. Specially if u install the quad gear box app for the phone. Is specially for the 4x it seems to make it even last a tab longer. All in all a great device. Yes lack of Roms is a downer but the installed software performs quite nice. Other then before on lg phones.

Omg why Optimus 4x is so Dumb Mobile in forums. It has all Awesome specs Equal to One X and S3 Of course S3 Is Awesome :fingers-crossed:
What I wanna know.
Why is Optimus 4x not listed in Top Mobiles It has good quadrant standards Better than One X and equal to S3, But why this Optimus Big man Suck.
All I know No open Boot loader (**** Lg Sucks in this Support) But I have 2x Which became popular even before it is released:highfive: I suppose><.
And reason I like Lg Awesome Quality and Service For Low Price.
And reason I hate Lg Worse Software support (Reason: Lg Did not comment on when 4X will have Jellybean And if this is case We will never get Lime Pie), I swear I completely bought this mobile hoping Cynogenmod Will highlight this Big Boss, But I am sad when the News came, P880 may or may not have Unlocked boot loader(http://cafe.naver.com/androidhacker/487(Translate IT)), Guys I wanna make this Mobile competitive to S3 Common Devs.
So don't complain and search for good devs experienced in Tegra.. the bounty and cash for the phone are waitin.
When the bootloader goes unlocked, our device will be for sure in top.

Even with locked bootloader and the sh*tty camera, I wouldn't change the O4X for any Shaysung or iFone
Not that I'm LG addicted, its in this case, its a question of design. O4X is one of the few phones in the market with solid, simple and atractive design.
Not forgetting that is a great device with a good performance.

I couldn't agree more. I had been out-of-contract on my last phone (HTC Desire S) for 6 months but there was nothing out there I wanted enough to take a new contract. The 880 changed all that - it has everything on my wish-list - removable battery, SD-Card, and it looks good. I don't want a phone to look like a pebble or a bar of soap. I want it to look like it does. Even if we never get an unlocked bootloader, I can handle this phone for the next 18 months or so on Stock.
Very cool answer. I agree with you man

I think LG designs well and they have good specd phones. Ibelieve many people like their phones, we are just skeptical because of their non-chalance with updates. I played with this phone last week and I love it but I don't think I will buy it just because of the lack of update issue.
P880 the best phone i have used yet, infact all the LG phones ive used. User experience with Samsung phones are just incomparable to LG, putting aside their designs.
Btw LG started making electronics way before Samsung did.

this is my first LG phone, and so far it is very likable. A few years back I wanted to buy KM900 and I bought iPhone 3G. I went from Nokia N97 to wifes iPhone 3G, for which she said that she does not want to use it. What a blessing that was going from Nokia to iPhone.The only good thing about N97 was its battery time, camera and speaker. I did not regret from going from Nokia to Apple it since it is working until today.Last year when I first wanted to upgrade because of the camera to something with flash and more than 2MP I wanted Optimus 2X, I had it for a review, but did not like its back and slow camera.Somehow I could not get used to Android either. Starting this year I really liked Optimus Black, but they sold all of them, so when I was in Barcelona on February, I saw Optimus 4X. But the iphone 5 was suppose to be launched soon.Nothing happened with Apple, so during waiting I was checking out S3, 4S.After iPhone came out I did not want to get in the line, and also somehow, the price issue and availability
of the iPhone 5 made me think twice. I own my old iPhone 3G, but after years of using it it was time to change. Waiting for iPhone and than paying for it 729€ was not an option, I needed a new phone, so I decided to buy Optimus 4X. Camera could be faster doing the autofocus thing or shutter, but I think that can be solved with an upgrade. If someone knows something, some fix, please send me a pm. Panorama could be made with 8MB not just in VGA mode, could be solved with firmware also. So far I like it for the same reasons most of you guys-girls do.
I choose this over a S3 due to the shape, I like a brick phone, I dont want a "pebble" , had a LG phone before and hated it, but I gave this a go, I love the phone, I do find my S2 screen was a bit more sensitive to touch then this and a few software niggles, but hardware its good and has good scope if we can unlock its full potential!
Anyway,
I will not say Samsung sucks or is best because samsung s3 too have update issues, Orizon s3 do not have unlocked bootloader, And to say frankly i myself hate similar shapes of s3, And i think u guys should watch this video on xda TV.
Samsun hate developers using there devices, They don't know why. But actually samsung became so famous only because developers.

Hi everyone,
I've got a burning question.
i'm curently the owner of a LG optimus 2x and my experiences with that phone are not that great. Only recently my phone started to work rather well due to a good custom rom based on a stock ics build. (Thanks a bunch Carburano!!)
My contract will expire soon, so I will be in the market for a new phone in about a month and I am seriously considering the optimus 4x HD, although many optimus 2x users would consider me a fool becaulse of those 2 letters on the front bezel...
If I have read well, there are currently no custom Roms available, but is that a miss with this phone?
So basically... would you, as owners, recommend your phone?
Thank you so much for your wisdom!

As there are already some threads on this topic, I recommend you to do a bit research in them. But in brief, I can tell you the following: The stock rom runs really well. Custom Roms might be availible at some time (there's a Sense port in "no phone" state). If you want a phone with removable battery and/or SD card slot, or you're looking for a Tegra phone for gaming, go for the 4X. If you don't need those,have a look at the N4 (if ou can get one), there's most development.
Whoops!

try nexus 4 or wait
Go for nexus 4 or Wait for tegra 4 phones. Those will be in february.
I'd recommend this phone if you don't need custom roms (because they may never be available, even if progress was made). It's an excellent phone, slim, powerful, with some enjoyable LG modifications. The microSD port and removable battery is a big plus.
As Shuny says, great phone, incredible screen quality ( even better than IP4S and SGS3 ) , powerful . If you want a STOCK ROM , its your phone. But , as people said, Nexus 4 or Tegra4 devices are coming.

( sorry for poor english , im brazilian )
My only gripe about this phone is the camera and heat... I haven't really tested out other quadcore phone so i don't know if they heat up easily or not, I only tested their camera and it was good.. SGS3 and SGN2....
Anyhow, MWC is around the corner so wait around for a bit and widen your choices...

I have a Galaxy S 3 and I'm seeling it to get me an Optimus 4X... some people might think I'm crazy hahaha...
I really don't like the S3... the shape, the software... the S2 was nice, but the S3, not so much... at least for me anyway...
I don't do much gaming, and I really love the form factor of the 4X... the software also seems a lot more responsive than the S3...

I sold my s3 and hox and got the 4x. Well I got more money for the s3 then I paid for the 4x and same applies for the hox as well and I don't regret it. The screen in the 4x is better then the s3 no burn in or checkerboard issues like the s3 screen has. Battery in the 4x is superior to the hox and also removable battery and memory card is a big benefit that the hox don't have. The camera is the weakest on the 4x but there are ways to fix that even without root. And the 4x is faster then the hox. The tegra 3 on the 4x is better optimized. Anyway the 4x is a totally fine quard core monster. And also u can use a normal mhl cable instead buying a special one that works with the s3. So there is more benefit on having the 4x then non benefit.

Im living in Brazil . Isnt a cheap phone here, about R$ 1799,00 ( about USD$900 in a conversion ) , i think MWC brings us some new phones, like Sony Z , Nexus 4 , and many others with 2GB + quadcore in this price range.
But, I choose LG P880 vs IP4S and SGS3 , not for price, but incredible screen and performance, IMHO , better than S3 and IP.
My opinion : BUY IT !

The camera is the weakest on the 4x but there are ways to fix that even without root. And the 4x is faster then the hox. The tegra 3 on the 4x is better optimized. Anyway the 4x is a totally fine quard core monster. And also u can use a normal mhl cable instead buying a special one that works with the s3. So there is more benefit on having the 4x then non benefit.

Exactly what I think...
I'm going to sell my S3, get me a 4X and even save some money...
The 4X has everything I need... the S3 is a great phone, but it looks extremely fragile... and the home button, boy I really hate that... I was a previous owner of a Galaxy Nexus and the soft buttons are a lot better than physical buttons...
And I really think Jelly Bean and a new kernel can fix most issues the 4X has with games...

Im living in Brazil . Isnt a cheap phone here, about R$ 1799,00 ( about USD$900 in a conversion ) , i think MWC brings us some new phones, like Sony Z , Nexus 4 , and many others with 2GB + quadcore in this price range.
But, I choose LG P880 vs IP4S and SGS3 , not for price, but incredible screen and performance, IMHO , better than S3 and IP.
My opinion : BUY IT !
Regards.

I know it , but 3 months ago, when i purchased the phone, i pay R$1799, its cheaper now, i know, but , also you know , we suffer with taxes here. In EUA and Europe , this guy can be purchased by US$ 350 - 400. So , lets return and focus ... This smartphone is a great choice.
Wow, thanks everyone! That was really all I needed to hear. I really want a removable battery and a sd card slot... so my options were limited to the O4x or the sgs3... an I really prefer the looks of the O4X and the screen.... it was just the brand that concerned me... having to wait over a year for ICS on my O2X from the announcement to a crappy release... made me worry!
You guys helped out a lot! I think I will permanently join you in about a month!
And lets hope there will be some custom roms to play with in the future!
Thanks!

just my 2 cents

yes, imo. for that price, there's no better phone out there.
How much does it cost for a Nexus 4 without contract in your area? I think you should consider Nexus 4 if the price is not more than 20%. Get some research on Nexus 4 too. The config is almost the same as most of the latest flagship model except for 1080p screen.
Again don't get me wrong, I still love my 4X HD, but just the same as what I said Snapdragon S4 with 2G of RAM, beat 4X HD a lot!!!! Hope it helps

Yes it does in performance but you won't be able to expand your memory. In Germany the LG Optimus 4XHD 16gigs costs 249 Euros. The Google Nexus 4 16gigs in 249 Euros.
