Take a chance also to Optimus 4X - LG Optimus 4X HD

I read on other forums that the developers who work for XDA and have worked for the Optimus 2X have not yet decided to buy the Optimus 4X.
I'm quite sad to have read this, I am convinced that a device like this has the right to have a community that we work on it.
I certainly hope that is not overshadowed unlike the SGS3 and the X One, excellent devices in my opinion, although this time with LG Optimus has really done a good job and would be a shame not to maximize its potential!
Given a chance even to this little trinket to compete with others!

I agree, the 4X is a huge step from the 2X, everything i didn't like about the 2X has been improved in the 4X like the size and weight of the phone, the o2x is too big and heavy for a 4", now the 4X is perfect for the 4,7" screen, louder speaker, the only thing i think is a step down from the 2X is the MHL-HDMI, i'd rather have HDMI port like the 2X has.
For the reasons above i will buy a 4X later this year, because LG has changed for the better IMO.

Come on guys! Make your voice heard!

strength we need answers! Think you also that our Optimus 4X has the right to have a guide to the Root, Basebands, ROMs, etc..?
Or would you prefer to use this fantastic product as LG has done it?
Instead of opening thousands of posts where we praise and adore this device, we respond to one and we feel our voices to the community.

the x4 is definitely the finest and better choice compared to s3/one X - Straße we need a new root

Jelly Bean for the 4X?

Did LG already mention Jelly Bean for the 4X somewhere? I just assume, that they'll offer it ... it'd be very weird not to on such a new phone and with the big improvements of Jelly Bean.
Our 4X needs unlocked bootloader, we'll have full working CM10 then
Heard somewhere LG phones will get JB at the beginning of 2013...
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
If not there is always CM10, I'm stoked about getting that loaded on my phone
No official JB for this phone, LG`s reputation will surely drop down to zero.
Let`s hope they won`t make the same mistake.

i was told by a LG Rep that it could get Jelly Bean, but who knows maybe if CM 10 is on the phone it might be more stable

looking professionally on their stocks, their display division already lost 60% of their stock value comparing about 12-14 months back, so currently LG is no good investiment at all.
but on the topic of development, LG decided to put alot more effort into licencing security and abuse, so upgrading the o4x platform is a little bit more work probably comparing to other vendors which looks a little more western on their opensource and openminded politics.
remember that LG comes from a society where dupe's are all around and copyrights on copycats are important piece of their product. so their social thinking is far from openminded since their daily spirit in a sharing community is totally black and filled with copycat clones and people stealing other developers work and companies selling cheap fake models.
LG got too much asian culture where some of the others like samsung got more western like appreciation, although being 100% Korean

Is the message, that o4x will get JB in Q4 trustful? I didnt really find anything on internet that would confirm it.
I'm seriously thinking about buying o4x, I love design, UI and stuff, but I'm scared of bad support.. Should I buy it?

Not intend to troll or anything but I read this and remember the days I paid 450 euros for my optimus 3d waiting for a proper support from LG and as I read I realize this LG had done nothing beside the 24/7 hour spamming on their facebook profile and support pages by hundreds of customers. The 4x has a great price/performance ratio but LG software is just blowing it. They were hated that they were late and ****ty with every android update so far and when they finaly got nice stable ICS they locked the bootloader, what the f uck LG (btw I still dont have it on my phone, and it was announced for q3 2012 ). So, dont get your hopes high and happy spamming.

They can give update everyday for my part but for me I love Android bcz a community and developers can get their hands on and customize it more so I don't get it why they dont just let developers do their thing bcz they bring more live in the phone and they make that phone even more better and they can also earn something from it so imo everybody wins. But probably is bcz of patents and stuff and technology or software that need to be protected and kept secret I guess. I really hope I see custom roms for this phone bcz I sold my One X bcz I love the design of LG over any phone wright now except the Arc but that phone is old already
The whole spirit of Android and Linux is to be open source and customizable. Also most of the developers must have something to start from (except cyanogen, they are starting from scratch) to begin developing. It is almost impossible to build your own ICS ROM without having LG's or Cyanogen already ported. That is why the updates from LG are necessary.
Unlocked bootloader
Seriously, my GF has this phone and it eats battery amazingly fast. She's been pestering me to install Cyanogenmod on her 4X (she had it on her Galaxy S1) but I'm finding it hard to explain to her why there's no Cyanogenmod for the 4X yet...

Else very happy with the device, here in Denmark it is the cheapest tegra 3 phone, but imo also the best, had the one x before, this is much better to use in one hand.

One X is significantly wider than the O4X, making HTC's phone a bit harder to use one-handed.
Open doesn't mean you can do everything you want!

Again the term "open" is wrongly understood.
Android is indeed "open". It's open to manufacturers, NOT open to end-users!
Manufacturers can customize it, add or substract software and even modify it. But you (and me) as end-users may NOT!
Sure if we hack it then we CAN. But that doesn't mean that LG, or anyone else for that matter, likes it.
There's also a flipside: What if you mess up your device?
Then who's gonna fix it? LG? The store where you bought it? The telco? And provided they find someone who will fix it, must it be under warranty?
By locking the device down they revoke their warranty and put the responsibility on you. You hacked it, you broke it, you messed up, you gonna pay to repair it!
Don't get me wrong. I applaud the efforts done by the end-user community to improve devices. Especially when many manufacturers don't take their responsability to fix some o/t problems they created. But we must understand what "open" really mean. We can't complain to LG, HTC, Sony or Samsung for not letting us do this. In fact I don't understand why this community work closer with manufacturers. Help them solve some of their problems.
For instance has the creator of the LG Notification program contacted LG about this and perhaps pursue them to use that program as a solution to the notification problem on LG-devices? The program is free anyway, so why not ask LG to implement it in every device. Or even improve it too. That way we don't need to hack/root our devices for such trivial things as LG itself can distribute the tool as an update for ALL customers (not just the xda-members).
Just my thought on the matter.

Jelly Bean update plan

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.

This has to be an over site. I just got mine so i'm okay with it for now (that will last a couple weeks, lol).
With the Optimus LTE II getting it, it would make no since that we won't.
Just unlock the bootlaoder and XDA will take care of the rest.

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.

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
deleted .
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

No jelly bean for the 4x

Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium
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...

Let's face it - LG sucks, really

So we always had a competitor - HTC One X. HTC released official Android 4.2.2 update with updated Sense 5.0 UI. What we will get? Nothing. Thank you LG once again. Last LG phone ever for me. Optimus 4X HD old phone? What about One X?
I knew from the beginning that LG sucks on supporting because I already bought the LG 2x in the past, poorly supported device but, the great performance and build quality brings me back to LG, ginger bread on LG 2x worked spool great and lagless that I was amazed every time I use the phone, now on my 4x I 100 Times more amazed, LG stock roms are almost perfect, y can get 10 hours of battery and only train by 8% and that's great, also the materials used on the phone are great and the performance is very cool, kicking the ass of the galaxy for example, on antutu we get like 1000 points more on cpu and floating cpu point that galaxy s3 and with a custom kernel a modifying the stock gpu frequency we can get a little more score on gpu too... so, there's it nothing that we can do in 4.2.2 that we cannot do in 4.1.2...

for stock android, not much difference. but for lg ui, i would love the new camera interface from 4.2 in optimus g2, and all the new features from the new lg ui version. we seems to forgot that a new android version from the manufacturers is not at all the same as android update, 4.1-4.2 doesn't bring much on the stock version, but for the manufacturers update, there will be a lot of new things. you might call it gimmick features, but that is based on YOUR preferences.

i am fighting this since i have mi LG 2X...
My point of this post starts at 1:24
when you see others have, you want it too, even if you are in a different situation. If that thing didn't exist in the first place, you wouldn't think of making a noise to have it.
that video remember me to my dogs... my two dogs was the best friends, one was a aleman pastor, and the other was a rottweiler, both played togeter since kids, one day my mom bought the rottweiler a chain, after that the pastor was angry with the rottweiler... extrange? yes... and the rottweiler used to walk slower in front of the pastor like showing his new chain, that makes the pastor more and more anger... the problem was ended when i bought the same chain to the pastor too... Best friends again...
