[Q] Still no ICS ! - LG Optimus 2x

Back in February, Motorola released a chart with names and dates that told us when each of its Android devices will be getting upgraded to Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich. Unfortunately, it seems the company won't be able to keep its promise for all the announced devices.
The updated chart now showws that the Motorola Atrix 4G, Photon 4G and the Electrify do not qualify for the Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade and will remain on Gingerbread. Other devices remain unaffected, with perhaps some minor changes in dates at most.
Our lovely tegra 2 brother Motorola atrix 4G won't have ICS .and i really feel sorry for them. So is there any possibility to happen this with us guys ? what if lg cancel ics too ?we will stuck in GB!
sorry for this post...
regard

Nah, as our sisterphone SU660 have ICS (leak, but from LG). I'm more than confident that the P990 will recive a official ICS too.
Just wait a few days
Btw, please use our sticky thread next time
----------------------------------------------------------------------
arcee: the star, the galaxy R, and the grand X are completely different devices. different components, different resolutions, different radios, different audio amps,different panel manufacturers, different almost everything. The designs have nothing in common other than being T2
tonyp: so it's either LG or nothing?
arcee: yes

i wonder why dual core + 1gb ram spec can't run ICS !. shame on google.

LG released yet ICS for SU660 in Korea... Just wait or flash CM10... JB without a lot of bug! I'm using it and it's fantastic! Only video encoding, project butter and H/W don't work... But I suggest you being hopeful, LG is waiting to sell some 4X first!

I've learned my lesson. Nexus Phones only Its a pure google phone and receives all updates upto a certain time of course. The nexux S is on 4.1.1 and i can still see it receiving 1 or 2 major upgrades. If google can just take control make the os for every high end(1Ghz or more) phone and put it on their website it will truly be amazing. I read somewhere that they are trying to do that.

Optimus 2x is not worth getting cause the baseband it is born with is flawed.
I just started on a new school, 10 guys have the phone and they want me to "fix" they phone which i cannot.
Ofc i can flash another baseband but tbh it is not worth it.
Most of the time i have no signal and even through the changelog says it should be better at re-establish connection, but in reality it is not.
If you want a working phone never buy LG.

funny, i got my p990 with a su 660 baseband and i never lose signal even in basements, so maybe your statement about the flawed baseband isnt as correct as you think, you just need to know what to do to make your phone better, and trust me, switching basebands and ril is anything but a waste of time...

Official Jelly Bean Coming

As the title states we maybe getting official Jelly Bean for our Droid 3, since it says most 2011/2012 devices. I don't see this being an issue with the dual 1GHz core maybe an issue for the lack of RAM.
What do you guys think?

This. It's been stated that most any device with 512MB RAM will NOT officially get ICS/JB (with 1 or 2 exceptions I believe/non-moto devices). I think at the very least phone companies want devices with 768MB RAM to upgrade to ICS.

I highly doubt it, the reason they are doing the $100 upgrade offer is because as they said not all 2011 devices are capable of running JB, or at least a bloatware filled version of it. The $100 upgrade offer is for the Droid 3 and Droid X2. If they get all of their other devices upgraded to JB by the end of the year then I will have some new found respect for them as its only just been recently that Google has made some changes at Motorola.
I wish you wouldn't use such a provocative headline as if you know this is a certainty.
I've seen that news clip from the Motorola presentation, and it would be great to get JB
but its still uncertain whether XT883 will be included.

Agreed. It's obnoxious to use a title like that, and then make only an ignorant and baseless supposition.

what did you mean by no software support? no ICS yet? is that the bad software support you people are talking about?
I really love it. I don't care for official GB and ICS. Official roms are crap anyway.
It does what it's supposed to do for me - accept calls, shoot video and photos, browse the net, read books, write emails, write some documents and that's pretty much what I want from a smart phone. I've optimized it so that there is no lag for my daily use. And all this productivity I bought for about $180. How can I not be happy?
Personaly i like the 2X but i was disapointed by the fact that the updates don't want to follow.
No official ics, no functionnal JB....
The milestones are never reached and this mobile seams to be unknowed.
2 years after, the S2 is stil sold everywhere but not the 2X.

A rom that doesn't permit to call is not a rom.
The initial function of a phone is to be able to call, not to pray before each call to be able to hear anything.
i always say my relationship with this phone is love,hate,love
its my 1st android, it has a really cool hardware, bad software support from lg, GREAT DEVELOPERS!!! (this one is the most important thing)
in fact i love my phone the 80% of the time the other 20% i hate it lol

For how long did you have yout O2x ? I recon i will never come back to LG like thousands of unhappy costumers, who bought FLAGSHIP phone and got just dumped .. I would wait for Motorolla Nexus, they will be open source.. Wouldn't be nice if you spend 300$ and wait another 2 years for next ROM.. I think android users ain't that stupid to buy "new" model of crappy phone every year (like apple fans do) In my opinion, the best way is to wait for something really nice comming out..
It's a great budget phone, if you can't find a galaxy S2 for the same money then go for it, root it and flash either the gueste or the django manuche roms (try them both) but don't stay with stock (official) rom. Imagine I flashed a new rom the first day i bought my one x and I never regretted it cause it had a huge difference, stock roms suck.

I think no offical JB for phones older than L7.
Why?
Simply, LG will release L3 II, L5 II, L7 II in some weeks from now. And JB for 4x, L7 and L9 is the end of phones from L3 to Optimus 3D, include our Black. With that update, LG will focus to Optimus G Pro, L-seri ver II, and new high-end phones.
IMHO, ICS is all we can get from LG, hope it will be better with D, E, F... version, as far as it can
l7 is a bit powerfull than oby. l7 gets 4000 in antutu
Yeah lg is trying to promote newer phones,thats what i think.
Big offtopic but i cant find my next phone...maybe L9? Maybe iphone 4s? Maybe nokia 808? Or htc 8x

Well, at least we got ICS ..
AW: JB on L7 why not on p970?
OB came out with 2.2.2, then update to 2.3.4 (GB) and now 4.0.4 (ICS). I fear that is more than a lot phones get, even if the step from ICS to JB is probably not so big. Well let's see what mods we get and after all CM10 is not so bad, OK a lot nightlys are but that might be why there not called stable (or at least RC).

This phone is past its life cycle. Even newer LG devices do not have android 4.2.2. Besides, there are not many features in 4.2.2 worth pursuing .
Nearly everybody else released smartphones with 4.1.2 and its only Samsung that released a device with 4.2.2.
Its understandable really. They want to spare some money for newer devices. As we all know, manufacturers pump out devices fast and its not in their interest to keep them updated. They cannot afford it anyway. Sammy devices are 95% of the android market right now. The others have to pump out devices to compete.
Of course, I could be wrong but this is as much as I can infer from what I have seen and heard.
I really hope I can see the day of an android 5.0 AOSP build for this phone. Popularity makes the rule. I really wish that the S3 would not have had as much coverage as it did because it was not that good. Same for the S4 but hey, devs also develop for devices that are going to make some noise. Thanks to Sammys ads, sammy devices do get alot of purchases and custom rom support.

Official CM10.1 - RC versions, but kholk's CM will be bug-free very soon i think (and it's better than official)
LG L7 II will be coming with 4.3 out of the box apparently, if we get any updates, it's gonna be 4.3.

LG ****ed up. Like Microsoft with Xbox One. Now I will buy not new LG TV, but new Samsung TV and will wait for Samsung or HTC phone with Snapdragon 800, because Optimus 4X HD also showed me, that nVidia sucks in mobile market. If you not suck nVidia, please don't let use your chip in ****ty device. Period.
P.S - One thing with Optimus 4X HD is good. Headphones.
^ oh really, check LG G2 leaks (photos and specs) and come here again. Releasing a phone with 4.3 as fast as Google in Nexus would be a great thing from LG.
I just hope they'll make the next Nexus too, because Nexus4 is damn good

If you want Android 4.2.2 use CM, it has no bugs and battery is awesome, 4 hours display on time with 3g
