I am not having an issue that I can tell. Ram tests show everything normal, use in games, apps etc., are snappy without slowdowns. Overall I think it is a great phone and am glad i bought it.
But, some people are having issues and I don't think anyone fully understands what the problem is. If you buy one, just make sure you are able to return or exchange it if you have issues.

I used a program called Androbench off the Play Store. If you see Sequential Read around 270 MB/s and Sequential Write around 215 MB/s using a 512MB test file that you choose in settings, then the memory does not have an issue, or you don't have the software problem. Also just use the phone and look for lag while using it, like fingerprint unlocking, scrolling, games etc.
BTW, when I got my phone the first thing I did before installing any apps was the Nov patch, then I checked for and then installed the Pie upgrade.
Good luck!

Starting with Optimus X2 needs, hints, must haves, possibilities

Hi there,
im new on the Optimus X2 and i am trying to figure out what you can do withit.
i got several questions and hope you can tell and or help me withit.
My first action on using Android was to put version 2.2.2 i think, on my HD2 Leo using clockwork and NAND. Had no experience to do stuff like that before, but great forum here helped me trough it.
so...
1.
I´ve heard about problems with the battery, that lifetime is not displayed right.
I think i may have something like that too. sometimes battery run out after only about 5-9 hours (using web and/or games)of course i am using it in that time but that seems to be a little bit too fast. In standby sometime it is turning off after 12-18 hours, of course using it with calls and sms sometimes.
2.
There normally should be an update or something, i thought the X2 is beeing delivered with android 2.3.? or will be updated soon after selling?
Are there any official information?
3.
I thought X2 will be out with 512mb ram?
when i start 3-4 apps and close them down, sometimes the advanced task killer shows before closing programs only 50-60 mb ram (is it ram?), after closing goes back up to about 180.
its not that nice when you want to take pictures or record video in F-HD is not working properly. have to close down everything before.
4.
What is this Cm7? i read alot about it, but i still dont know exactly what it is?
I`ve allready rooted my phone, whats a good app for deinstalling systemstuff and preinstalled games and apps?
5.
What are the 10 most useful and must have apps/programs to configure, style, and use youre phone?
6.
Are you guys using different roms? are there faster ones, more stable, less battery using?
7.
I got an 8gb external sd card, system only is showing , 4,9gb of 5,9gb free, maybe an sdcard bug like HD2 Leo had a time ago?
phone specification:
phone is rooted
I am using android 2.2.2
Baseband version 1035.21_20110405
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
Build number FRG83G
LG Version LGP990-V10d
Vodafone Germany Branding
answer in english or german
antworten gerne in deutsch oder englisch
thx for help and best regards

Battery life is a bit of an issue with the stock rom, since, on Froyo, there apparently is a problem with idle power consumption. This is much better on some of the custom roms based on Gingerbread, e.g. CM7.

The "official" rumours are, that there will definatelly be a 2.3.* update, though when is not clear, we will possibly have to wait until fall to get it.

Ideally, Android should be managin the RAM for you. The device does have 512 MB RAM, but mind that there is alot of stuff on the stock rom. You can have more available to you by
deleting or disabling widgets on the stock rom
installing a custom rom

It is called CyanogenMod7, and is a very popular custom rom, which exists for a lot of different Android devices, including the LGOS. It is also based on 2.3.4, so it basically already is a Gingerbread Rom, but I think it still has a Froyo kernel and/or userspace, so not completely native.

I'm not gonna call out 10 apps here, but living in Germany, you should definatelly check out "Öffi" (free). I also find Maverick (payware), GPS Essentials (Free) and Dropbox (free) to be quite handy.

This depends on how happy you are with modding your phone and flashing things on it. There can be quite a bit of work necessary to get a custom rom running on your phone, but it might be worth your while. I've used custom roms mainly for the fact that they can have massively lower battery consumption when the phone is idling (e.g. display off, standby). When using the phone actively, I've not found differences to be that big regarding battery life.

I got an 8gb external sd card, system only is showing , 4,9gb of 5,9gb free, maybe an sdcard bug like HD2 Leo had a time ago?

You are probably confusing the internal sd card with your external one. Keep in mind that the LGOS has a 6GiB internal sd card.
ok
thank you for this detailed answer.
i will take a look on the other Roms and will try it i think.
The problem with the sd card is not from confusing with the internal one.
Using the App, App 2 SD Free phone memory is showing me 1,45GB, on SD Card which must be the internal one shows me 5,51GB and on moveable which seems to be the external sd card it shows me 1,45GB again instood of my 8GB SD?

Video lags with bult-in Camera-App

Hi all,
right from the start i noticed lags when recording videos with the LGOB - I´ve used 10a at first but then did a reflash with 10.c German. I use Go Launcher EX.
After flashing it seemed the video lags have dissapeared with the freshly installed phone, but now after a while and after i reinstalled all my apps it´s still as laggy as before, no matter if i record HD or TV format.
To me it seems that some background process may interfere with the camera recording... i´ve tried to use Tasskiller to kill all apps before running the video app but it doesn´t help much.
Is that something you just have to live with on the LGOB or is there any hint to correct this? The generel video quility is very ppor to, especially on quick pans lots of blacks are visible in the video image.
Thanks,
Kusie

same here with 10b firmware. today i wanted to record some long jumps and it skips 3 4 secconds. so i have just the landing or just half of the jumps! ( maybe the speed of the sdcard is the problem? I'll try with a class 6 sdcard to see if the problem is solved or not! this is a serious BUG for me!!!
i dont have this issue and i dont see this issue being brought up anywhere... hmm try installing Nova Rom?

I have read several similar complaints about video skipping and lagging on LGOB... right now i don´t want to go through the whole reinstalling process again after switching from 10.a to 10.c and reinstall all my apps and settings, i think that this basic functionality should be OK in the stock Rom, too.

Hi guys i use to have similar prob on v10b but since i updated my phone to v10e eu open every thing is fine and yes even scrolling is better. Video prob is soft prob not hardware or sdcard.

I have video lags on 10e as well...
now my lgob is in service
for dead pixels or subpixles. aprox 5 pixels! i hope that they will change the screen or change the device with another one. ( so 1 or 2 weeks of waiting!
Has this been fixed??! I'm really pissed off! I tried to record a Taekwondo tournament and I missed the best parts because it's skipping! [email protected]#! HELP!
i don't have any problem....i have v10b and stock card 2gb
I have v10e firmware and Class10 card and no video issues. One of these helped, I assume 10e is that good.
The problem is with SD Card.... It doesn't have enough speed to "write" to sd card your video recording... The cache buffer gets full and it needs to "empty - write" to your card before it can record again...
For most of video recordings with this resolution you need a class 6 sd card - minimum!
Best choice... class 10!
Expensive... but it solves this problems!
i have the same problem with both v10a and v10c. now i changed for a class 10 , 16gb sd card, but the bug still remain; and it can't be cuz the quality of sd card, cuz i tested it and i have 13mb/s in write...
Thats weird!! I've tested this with v10a... and v10f and it works in here!
And... the problem you complain its usually caused by card speed as i said...
Sorry to hear that the problem still remains...
I use a class 10 16gb and nova rom and still lags (not like before)
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
Format the card with 32kb allocation size and try to restart the phone every time you take a bunch of pictures... That seems to solve the prob for me... To make things simple, I just reboot the phone everyday...
Maybe i solved it. I have installed sd card booster from market and set a value of 2048 as adviced , and now seem to be no lag at all...

WhatsApp is in the Marketplace. But with a note though...

The popular IM Messenging client WhatsApp appeared in the Marketplace a few days ago. However, it seems that only a select number of testers with a specific Live ID can use it at the moment.
If you wanna give it a go though, here's the link:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone//s?appid=f380683f-5d04-4566-aec6-988d68714938
If anyone got it to install, please share how you did it!
Let's hope WhatsApp will be available for everyone soon!

i just installed 7020 mango (through the manual didn't worked for me). On mango you can just download the app.
Yesterday I had a new update from whatsapp. Still slow but who gives a sh*t. Now whatsapp is on 7.5 I kissed android goodby.
The only thing I still need to do, is to find a solution to the battery drain problem.

How much is your battery drain? I learned last week that the SD card can have a huge impact on drain. I'd been reading posts about the camera trick and people getting 5-7 drain and I couldn't get below 200. When I upgraded from my Kinston 8GB c4 to a PNY 16GB c2, I saw not only my performance increase, but standby drainage after the camera trick was 4. What a difference!
Funny is that my system wasn't slow with the Kingston, but it was noticeable smoother and faster w/ the PNY.
I didn't do anything at all yet, only soms settings turned of.
I think like 6,5 hours untill it's dead.

That's around what mine was with my Kingston 4GB. I haven't checked how long my PNY SD card gets, but I can tell that's it's probably twice what it used to be, or more. I dunno, it's only been a few days and I'm also spending a lot of time in Android.
I have a sandisk 8gb, but the class I don't know..

Updating apps and overheating

Well, I just want to get to the point. As mentioned in the title, the phone is running really smooth and I love everything g about the device. However, I notice that when I update as throw the app store, the device tend to lag and overheat a little bit. Don't know if anyone else have the same issue but actually it easy worth mentioning that here. When I turn the device off after updating the appreciate and keep it off for about 2 to 5 minute and trun it back one. Everything start to work just fine. If anyone have some issue with app overheating the device or something, please post a comment below.
Hey,
I was wondering if you managed to solve your problem? I have an s6 and I think I have the same problem. When I update the phone spikes to over 70.0 C when it installs the update. Even when it's just one app.
I was wondering if you could spare some time to help me. I posted my problem here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/help-s6-cpu-getting-hot-t3180011
I used Antatu benchmark and CPU temperature to test my phone and it got to 84.0 C twice, once when it was testing my CPU to it's fullest and once when it was testing game performance.
So I was wondering if you could run the test as well and tell me what temperature you got so I can compare. Thanks

Poor ram management

I don't know if it's because pie update but this phone can't keep 6 apps open in the background, it feels like a 1 GB of RAM type of phone, anyone facing the same problem?
yeah it's correct it closes everything even simple apps like message, phone dialer ! after a while you left your device. very poor management.
yeah it sucks
And if the phone keeps multiple apps running on background, you will cry for poor battery. Yay
This is seriously bad, even my friend's Mi A2 can keep PUBG in background after 3 hours. I switch to WhatsApp to reply for one chat then I had to reload it. Wtf
I think I found the problem and solution, check this link out https://dontkillmyapp.com/nokia
