Did you really thought we would get an official update ?!
LG can not even support their current flagships , so why update an old device ?

When you know that the Samsung S3 is getting kitkat and the main features of the current flagships, you just lose faith in LG, I dropped that phone 5 months ago because it was making me sick, and went for the original HTC One, and the support is still going on year after the release, not a very good strategy to keep consummers ...

I did, I was on CM, on Vanir, and back to 4.1.2 on Enox and then on Zaiben, using iodak kernel... but I had some bootloops, and since I was too excited whenever I tried a new ROM, I didn't backup, I lost everything and it did kinda piss me off, what I mean is that the average consummer doesn't have to go through all this, we were proud when we bought the phone to say it's a Samsung S3-killer, but how about now?
This is why my next phone will be a nexus. No problems with updates. I should had bought the nexus 4...

I just want to make it clear, that flashing the latest 4.4 custom rom is not equivalent to an update from LG. Even if LG gave us 4.2, we would get new blobs (these contain proprietary drivers, this costs LG to distribute) The blobs LG have left us with are a mess, Lots of incompatibilities with Android 4.4, this will only increase with each android update.
This would normally spell the end of third party support (custom roms etc), but the awesome work of the p880-dev team, allowed us to use Nexus7 blobs which are compatible with Android 4.4 and beyond, the issue here is, while the nexus7 has similar hardware, its not identical and those blobs are 100% compatible with our device.
We have been let down by LG quite badly, hopefully the next device you buy (be it a smartphone or tablet) is influenced by its manufacturers history if releasing appropriate updates to it devices, low to high end.

Question: considering the point you have superbly explained; considering that we need updated drivers and updated blobs, to make everything working with Android 4.4.x and superiors; has Nvidia released some new code (or may release it, if someone pay for it), fully compatible with our device, which is possible to work on, or is our chipset and other hardware stuff limited by outdated code, to be compatible with newer Android versions, and the only way to achieve a full compatibility would be receiving LG (impossible) updates?

I dont want to go to deep, as im no expert. my assumption is (and if im wrong, i hope to be corrected) Nvidia modify their reference drivers to LGs specifications, this presumably costs LG a lot of money to have done. From any means though, we are not gonna receive specific blob updates, The problem for us is LG only have a single tegra 3 device, it doesn't make a great business case to pay for an update that only one phone or device can benefit from, comparatively Asus could essentially update 5 devices for the same price.
Grouper blobs should ensure us the Android updates the nexus 7 receives, but its likely gonna be a rocky road with future updates, like 4.3 to 4.4. No one really know for sure though

Yep, I only hope we'll not see our device losing some functions, everytime a new android release will come (like viderecording on kitkat)..I know, a phone is not eternal, but I'd like to see it supported until it has the necessary specs to be supported, at least by a great dev community as our is..and our devs are really working hard! But it would be great, having something to do with Nvidia to release new code

I take it there isn't official word or press release yet then?
The problem isn't the phone(s), its the carriers and manufacturers, they kill it. With exception of a few, Samsung, HTC, LG surely sucks more, but I've seen complains from every manufacturer.

It's been discarded and forgotten by LG and nVidia so fast, I'm still amazed we even got a 4.1 update. A former top-of-the-line device that's not even 2 full years old! Imagine you got it on 24-month contract last year, as some did.

I wouldn't flood social media but I am going to write to LG and ask what is going on as the Apple buisiness model doesn't work with Android.
If KitKat goes to the HTC One X and not the Optimus 4x then LG have screwed up yet again.
The Galaxy S2 Went from Android 2.2, to 2.3 Gingerbread, 4 ICS and then 4.2 Jelly Bean which I assume it will not be upgraded to Kitkat unless you want a Custom ROM
In comparison - The Optimus 2x - Android 2.2, 2.3 then stopped at ICS
Was it because the 2x wasn't seen as successful or as best selling as Samsung is that why they stopped support as it wasn't commercially viable to support a rare device?
Or because they are trying to keep each individual device unique in some way? QSlide went to the Optimus G but not the 4x
Apple support model is very different from Android.
First, because Apple has a very specific range of hardware to support. One update works for every version of their phones (3G, 4S, 5, etc..). Since the hardware between versions is the same or with very little differences.
In this scenario, I'm led to believe our 4X was surpassed quickly since LG release the 4X, and soon after G and G2, so 4X was "forgotten" in the middle. Too bad, since was a flagship phone, didn't got the attention it should.
If the sales weren't what they were expecting, (but they were still sales nonetheless), I guess investing in time and money for a software update which very few people use, isn't exactly a good step, however, there's a good ton of people which use the 4X. It has a good hardware, would support KitKat easily, but I guess it's easier and more profitable to release another high end device and support that one instead, even if equally for a short time.
When I bought my 4X, around 6 months ago, there were posts already mentioning no update for 4.3, i doubt LG would be kindhearted enough to release a KitKat update. But they could at least release the binaries for devs to develop custom roms easier. Oh, but they don't want that either.
Last phone from LG, for sure.

You raise some good points Midnight I emailed LG and this was their reply.......
I have had a look into this for you and due to the age of the handset and reaching the end of it's update cycle, KitKat will not unfortunately be coming to the P880. I do apologise I couldn't be of anymore help but if you have anymore questions please don't hesitate to email back in. Have a great evening!

According to the danish lg site, under FAQ of the LG Optimus 2x, they say that it'll be out in june/july 2011. So that seems to be as official they have stated a release date yet
If that's real, than it's a real shame. 6 months to get GB working on their flagship device seems really lame and only shows LG inability to give the updates in a timely manner. In June Android 2.4 will be already launched.
Yeah this sucks ballzzzz
Yeah it seems to be true, but have only been posted (as far as I have checked) on the Scandinavian sites for Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
I also made this post about it (maybe in the wrong section) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034970
EDIT: With a picture btw.
This means Cyanogenmod is again overtaking the manufacturer

Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
oh my goodness when is the cyanogen gingerbread update .........
hehe who cares? I only care about CM7
The problem is there are a lot of fixes needed even within the LG Android 2.2.2, it's not all about providing GB. The stock LG software is subpar in my oppinion and the problems signaled here and on other forums needs to be addressed by LG hopefully before June.
[email protected], CM7 would be nice but for O2X is in a far from usable state.
If LG launch the 2.3 with the know how demonstrated on 2.2... I don't see how this is a good news...
CM7 is all that mater
maybe LG is waiting for cm7, and get the idea from it
I absolutely agree with the statement "Who cares, I just want CM7".
Then again, LG having the low-level dev access that they have (drivers and whatnot), isn't much easier for them to dev the update than for us to dev CM7? Moreover, wouldn't it be much easier to port CM7 if we had an LG 2.3 ROM?
Cheers.
Shame I switched from Samsung after month of **** firmwares and now the same on lg - now I really consider apple - they know hot to build a kernel to use the hardware
google and android is as it seems incapable of delivereing a kernel for single or dual core
the always bring out new phones and none run well

I kind of like LG for the speed, is much faster than the Galaxy S no matter what kernel you had on it, but O2X has other problems like the poor audio quality in calls and still the software doesn't feel like it's the final version, more like a test one. I agree we should expect more because the super fast hardware is there. It's a reality manufacturers don't care about that, they act like sell only the hardware and after that, they wash their hands. At least Samsung continue to support the Galaxy S which will have GB within weeks and in the meantime we have to wait until summer to get our port on O2X. I would never buy Apple, they sell just boring super expensive and locked products, that are still owned by them even after they sell them to you. If you want Android without headaches, the best bet is on the Nexus Phones. But, in the end, you can't have everything I guess...
Wow, that was long... what are we talking about here?
Sounds like the email I recived from LG Sweden this monday which said their devs had started to work on 2.3...... but what...started? Hasn't 2.3 been out for a while??

Hello dears,
I write here for the first time in LG 4X forum and I don't want people those who already bought this device to misunderstand me please
the device is really equipped with the latest and fastest hardware at factories,
But..
LG as company is not new, it was (Gold Star) company and replaced the complete ID of the cheap company with Gold Star with LG as new brand.
and the new department decides to get the latest in the market and hit it with the newest electronic weapons as your 4X
I got a past trying with LG devices, with P990 and P999 (G2X) it was really perfect as hardware but as software, it is still with GB v2.3.5 as the final stock ROM from LG, start from v2.2
I don't why LG can't support her devices to the latest software at google android !!!
So the point that I want to reach here is:
Don't expect LG to support your device to the latest ROMs of android, it will stop at 4.1.1 or 4.2 and stop there then you will see the support from MIUI or CM team, but not LG and will face ton's of change log's and (what working) (what is not)
LG is good for short month's of usage but not for long time.
Hope LG support department read this thread and try to support the software teams in the future.
hope you got what I means
Regards

To lg - if you are planning to fight with the likes of Samsung/HTC - offer same type of service. Like Unlock tool for the bootloader. Or unlocked boot loader from factory. At least that way we can make our own way into future updates...
I hate myself for buying a lg! Wasn't even aware of locked boot loader. Next time I will sniff around1000 times before deciding to buy a lg.

Fixes are fine by my book, ICS is already a very good platform to use. Sure, JB brings more improvements but it is game changing compared to GB to ICS.

1. LG Optimus Nexus is not a rumor, but true
2. Yeah, maybe they're working about something (i'm f*ckin optimistic)
Although, LG's software support is crap, i'd still choose their Hardware over HTC's. And, just being chose by Google as the manufacturer for their new flagship device...LG will hopefully get more love by devs. The Optimus 4x HD is a true beast, it's a shame that LG won't unleash its true capabilities. I've been contemplating in whether to get an O4x HD (price is soooo cheap) or just wait for the LG Nexus G (which is most likely what im guna do). Either way, my next phone will be an LG. For some reason, i've becomed very bored with Samsungs, especially with my S3.
LG is going to make a conference on 24-25 oct, hope we'll get some infos about updates

LG need to much time, they will update.
LG published their update plan for Jelly Bean.
http://www.lgnewsroom.co.kr/contents/12971
And yes... no word about 4X
If 4X don't get Jelly Bean, it will be my first and last LG phone
I really don't know what to do. Sell my LG? But for the money I'll get, there is no much alternative devices with similar features that I can buy now...
But stay for next 2-3 years with ICS on 4X is no option either. Hardware is ok, but maybe android 4.3 will have really cool features and we will never get it on our devices. It's really frustrating.

IF lg unlocks the bootloader for us, that will not be a problem.
IF lg keeps the bootloader locked and then shows a crappy update plan with no ICS/android 4.3 i will buy a new phone and give this to my friend or something....
Well it this is the case that we will not got JB or more updates, iam gonna get bored in some point... then a new phone or superduper htc HD2 back, and this one starts acting as a bar phone
The reputation of LG was already below zero after they leaved 2X die. Normally, nobody should buy their phones after they do same thing with 4X.. They really should think long time about their crappy marketing strategy.

Yeah, there's no mentioning of the 4X. And that's because it is a korean update plan. As far as I know there is no 4X in korea, so nothing to update. With the LTEII getting JB i'm pretty positive that the 4X will be the next one, at least in Europe.

LG sucks
LG will announce an update for our 4X in Europe because there's no 4Xs in Korea
Made possible by my sexy LG Optimus 4X HD (P880)
I can't see them announcing a 4X JB update in Europe before the new flagship Optimus G is released. They'll be eating into their own sales by promoting an older device.
Be patient, I'm sure the 4X is further down the schedule

Imo i dont mind not getting JB on my 4x. See guys, ics will still be the majority of the android system and app support for it wouldnt disappear until quite sometime later.
And even by the time ics is really becoming obsolete how old do you think your phone will be? There will be new hardware by then or anyone on the general market wouldnt be even using the phone anymore by then.
I'm speaking as a general user who treats a phone more as a personalised, friendly thing more than using it for technology development. I think LG is really doing a good job. How my phone now (ics) is fine. I dont really care about not getting JB on this device.
Looking outside of developers circle, i think majority of smartphone users are still those that has little interest in catching up with technology, and has the same purpose of phone as me, using it as a connection, entertainment, tool.
My 2 cents.
Ps i had used samsung android phone before.
Edit. Enjoy more of your time now. Sometimes certain good things are already what you have now. Just forget about not getting the update for a while and take a brand new look into the beauty.

I currently have an HTC Desire S which I have rooted and booted over and over again, from GB all the way up to Jelly-Bean and back again. I have placed an order for my 4X HD and am collecting it on Saturday. I don't really care if it gets upgrades to JB or beyond - this time I want a fast, nice phone which I can just use - this is why I have gone for this rather than other phones. I will keep my DS for playing with and to get my kicks from when I feel the need to play around. I'm quite sure that LG will provide us with upgrades for a while, but as long as I have a fairly vanilla ICS I will be a happy bunny.

We all hope so. But until now we have only this info where 4X is not mentioned.
What has LG from half year old device with locked bootloader? Can someone explain this behavior? I mean, we all know that using unlock tool will void the warranty and only experienced users will do this. Why not let them do what they want?
This is LG Korea they do not have the Optimus 4X in their country, therefore completely ignore this. xD

This has been discussed before. That list is for Korea and there is no 4X in Korea so it's possible that 4X will still get Jellybean...
I Think LG Will Not mess with updates this time
Nvidia said that "Providing drivers will not at all be a problem, So.... I think Nvidia gives good support for drivers."
If Nvidia messes up then HTC one X,HTC One X+ and another Tegra core Devices will be washed out. Which are High end devices.
And Since Lg got its first Contract with Google this time i hope they respond Fast for updates....This is the best time for them to flush out into market..... According to Present market When Nexus 4 comes into market S3 Price drops Down, At that moment Optimus G pushes Up Lg sales,,,Anyway S4 is coming.
And result.. They should try maintain there standards so they keep on going.Matias Duarte(Director of user experience) of android says Lg is the first brand that made them feel satisfied of there all Nexus devices. They also said Lg supported them to implement all there technology to ther Effort.
I think Everyone know Nexus 4 is the fastest Mobile on planet....:fingers-crossed: I wish i had one .
Anyway, I do not need updates from LG. I wan Cynogenmod 4.2 Update for 4X. which work is already in progresss.
Where all progress stops is :::::::::::::::::::::::No Open Bootloader:::::::::::::::::::::::::
Hope We will get Update Soon
this misleading/misinformation title thread should be removed to prevent any further confusion on 4X HD user, as LG never say anything on it...
no official hav been annouce saying it does not hav JellyBean
Nothing official to say it's getting JB either .infact. when LG announced the JB update schedule they did not even mention the 4x

This is not news. We are already well aware of the situation.
i think that topic should be closed, because here are wrong news in it, 4X isn't in Korea.

no, i don't think so. i have had 3 lg phones and not any has been update. the only way for update your lg phone is with roms
Well lg 2x got two upgrades (2.3 and 4.0) so maybe lg 4x should recieve the upgrade to 4.2.2

I currently own three android devices, LG optimus 4x HD, Samsung galaxy note 2 and sony xperia s. so i am browsing all three xda forums from time to time. how funny that every specific brand owners are dissatisfied with their own manufacturers by saying other brands update devices more frequently than theirs.. what they most said is: My next phone wont be "sony/LG/Samsung"!!!
The fact is: LG really update more than the rest i owned: 4 times firmware minor update + jelly bean update( i live in Netherlands). so at least LG is taking care of it. LG wont update our 4x hd forever, we will always want more and more anyway, so there is no ending...
I also want 4.2.2 or higher version without a doubt, but not desperately compare with other ppl.lets wait and see. And please stop spreading faulty information and misleading others. You should be responsible for what you said!! Lets hope we will get 4.2 or even higher, otherwise it is just a phone basically, be happy and enjoy what you have, its not so bad after all....

I have said many times before. We bought our phones with ICS software on it. Nowhere did LG say that we would get free upgrades, they are only responsible for fixing bugs. If you are 'forced' to stick with ICS then it is fine for them as the phone still does EVERYTHING you bought it to do. The problems with 'Stock' JB go to show that they created it through good-will, to give the developers something to play with and to keep us guys/gals on places like XDA happy - 95% of the people who buy the phones couldn't care less about getting an upgrade to JB as long as the phone actually makes calls, does texts etc
The arguments and *****ing on here against manufacturers is incredible. Can you imagine buying a PC And then demanding a free upgrade to Windows 8? Or buying a car and demanding a free upgrade to the newer engine type?
If you don't like the phone then change it. If you don't like the manufacter then don't buy from them again, but unless you buy a Nexus product you will always suffer from delays in releasing new versions - the manufacturers don't make money from doing that so they will focus on new products that they can make money from.

I do not entirely lean towards your viewpoint nor do I think the car analogy is apt to this discussion
If all we wanted to use our phones for was make calls and send texts,I'd agree whole heartedly nor would we have to fork out insane amounts for most flagships
In that case,why not let us make do with cheap Chinese Android clones
This phone was one of 2012`s top end phones along with the S3 and HTC One X
Even at that LG was one of the last brand names to release a JB update
To think support for a flagship is/will be ending after an update or two is extortion IMHO seeing all they have to do is find a way to port it on older flagships
Or do the phone makers expect us to buy every shiny and new gadget every 6-12 months because official updates have stopped?
I personally do not expect updates for the mid and low end phones
But if one buys a top end flagship, such a person should get treatment setting them apart
@ the creator of this thread,its wishful thing to be lusting for KLP when 4.2.2 or 4.3 is yet to drop for 4X HD
I think 4.2.2 may drop officially for 4x hd and that will be it
Most of the top end brands are pushing 2 and 3 GB memory phones out for now and KLP devices will probably have such specs
Recall the 4x HD has just 1GB ram
You might have to look at the custom ROMs you despise for KLP
Sorry

Why should you get special treatment just because you buy the 'flagship' model? You pay extra for the extra specifications, not in order to get a service contract entitling you to free upgrades - no matter what product you are buying that is the case.
Of course manufacturers expect you to buy a new shiny phone every 12 months - that's why they keep releasing them. They are in the business of making money, which they don't get from all the work involved in upgrading an old phone to a new software version.
You need to remember that we are in the minority, 95%+ of the people who buy phones don't care about upgrades, they just want something that works, and works well. Producing an upgrade almost always results in a software thart is not as stable as the original because they are, naturally, putting less effort in to creating it. I always find it surprising when someone comes on to XDA and says they don't want to put a custom ROM on their device - OK, so there are a few bits on here that aren't specifically about custom ROMs, but not much.
It would be lovely if every manufacturer gave free upgrades, but they never say they will and it certainly shouldn't be expected. Nexus devices are different as Google writes the Android software and has a business interest in ensuring they provide free and timely upgrades to show off the latest and greatest code.

If you already knew that LG is always the last one to update their devices but why are you still buying it??? Personally I am also looking forwards to the updates, but I bought this phone because it has the good hardware, nice UI and relatively cheaper price when compare to S3 and HTC One X. You would be licking your finger to get a cheaper Chinese one, but you cant due to the availability cross western world. And dont insulting the chinese manufacture here because you know nothing about it...
"The arguments and *****ing on here against manufacturers is incredible. Can you imagine buying a PC And then demanding a free upgrade to Windows 8? Or buying a car and demanding a free upgrade to the newer engine type?"
I do not think arguments and *****ing on here against manufacturers is incredible. your statement about demanding a free upgrade to windows 8 is just wrong, windows operating systems are supported, updated with security fixes, refinements and enhancements for many years, as android users we seem to be forgotten about within the space of a few months, I do not expect to receive KLP or any other new system after that but we are still on Jelly Bean so we should expect to the have the refinements, fixes, security updates that are currently available, yes you are correct in saying this was an ICS phone but if LG make the statement that an upgrade to Jelly Bean would happen then we should expect supoort for it and this is the reason I purchased the phone. BTW Jelly Bean was not goodwill by LG, it was to sell more phones, if you really believe these companies are that nice to their customers you are being a little naive.

I bought for the same reasons you bought yours
Relative cheap compared to the One X and S3,very good hardware too
Anyone with an above average computer knowledge knows software is still playing catch to hardware which has always evolved faster
Only now to see the greed of capitalism starring at us all with their stoppage of updates after 1 or 2 update releases
Too bad
Some Chinese names like Pipo and Onda for tablets stand out
Also names like Jiayu and Zopo are one to look out for in high end Phones
That some Chinese brand gadgets don't cut it don't mean ALL Chinese brands
Personally, I'm using a Pipo Max M9 quad core tablet and why the software could have been better written to amplify its hardware,I could not ask for a better made premium look and feel tablets without breaking my piggy bank
Below are the Antutu scores which I ran myself
(Update: could not up load the image. Don't know why but the Antutu scores was 16104 thrashing S3,Nexus 7 and 10 and been at par with the Note 2' That should increase if overclocked)

I don't think its too much if other manufacturers could follow Google's lead
After all, the Nexus products are in the top end of the tablet and smartphone food chain
Its not to much to ask for 3-4 updates for the flagship/top end gadgets
Recall asking for more led Oliver Twist out of his life of deprivation to a more structured one
Not every market follows the Western nations model of phone contracts rather you have an outright purchase
But knowing an economy like America of which 70% is based on consumer spending is the model run by many Western states,I expect them to continue their shiny and best,latest and new policy
Hopefully the top end Chinese gadgets makers can throw in the cat amongst the pigeons
But till then,its gonna be the same ol same ol

i've owned an HTC, an Huawei and now a Motorola... while atm considering to buy the p880.
It seems to me that LG is kind of more reasonable in all terms of product-strategy than maybe HTC, Samsung, or Motorola. They have a wide range of phones, but those are at the same time not like "me too" models like Samsung's, who has phones for absolutely everey demand.
And they still sell phones like the L3.
That makes me hope the p880 has a kind of long planned product cycle too and they'll release 4.3 for the p880, because it has BT4.0 hardware, which will only be supported by Android 4.3 and up. and it's still jelly bean. so perhaps it makes sense to skip 4.2 and get 4.3 instead, which also seem to get far better multi core support...
but nonetheless it's nice to have 4.1 sources released, so it's possible to finetune.

Any rumors circulating yet anywhere about an upgrade from 4.1.2? The battery life is really bad.
I've done everything I can to maximize it. (Install root, juice defender, un-install certain system apps, turn off location reporting in GMaps, keep screen brightness at 50%, etc...)
Hoping an official LG update will help out some time in the near future. I'd like to see 4.2 or 4.3 in Q4 this year. But I have no idea if that will happen or not. Phone is awesome, just really let down by battery life on JB.
Why not oppen a request for lg?
