I have an LG New Chocolate BL-40 (unlocked) that I bought in Montreal from Telus and currently using it on my T-Mobile.
I've searched but I don't see any development on XDA for it. Is this true? Does anyone have an LG New Chocolate that they have worked/experimented on? The UI on this thing is horrible.
I'm disappointed in LG for sure.

So, I got my wife an upgrade phone (Sprint, LG Optimus S). Before it even arrives she says, "what? It doesn't have a flash for the camera? I don't want it, I want a flash for my camera!" So, I searched around and found that I can get a new Samsung Instinct HD for less than new LG Optimus S sells for on eBay. So, can I sell the LG to someone, and them be able to activate it successfully? I asked about the Instinct HD already - as long as the ESN is clean it will be no problem. I just didn't want to ask about the new upgrade phone I just got because it seems a little shady.
Hi Everyone
I am giving up my $190 iphone bill (2 lines of service) for a cricket android phone.
need an android phone.
My choices are of course:
Sanyo Zio
Hauwai Ascend
LG Optimus C
Can the optimus be rooted? I mean, its a new phone but take on OLD model...
I just want a nice screen and decent speed for the phone.
Rooting the phone is fine, I can do that.
The best screen appears to be the Zio, but the best HARDWARE is the LG.
Which one will be the best after the 2.2-1 android update? The zio and Optimus alreadyu have that update, and you can root the Ascend to get it if you want.
Can you root the optimus be rooted?
I am sure the zio can.
DOH!
I just saw that the zio has no multitouch interface.
i have a samsung fascinate on cricket. you can also get a droid x or any other verizon or sprint android to work on cricket. and they all are better than the cricket choices. look on craigslist, or get a bad ESN one from Ebay, then flash it to cricket, the process is not that hard. and its on this forum
i have an epic on cricket... in the past i heard thehy shut down data for a week for flashed phones.. and anyway now my epic won't get incoming calls (routed to voicemail) and it says restricted on other peoples incoming screens when i call... seems like a roaming issue.. i'm about to probably just go buy an optimus c
I love my Incredible on Cricket Everything works 2 including MMS. UR best bet is 2 get a phone that isn't Cricket & make it Cricket. Lets face it... Cricket's phones suck
I hope this is not an old post. I tried searching for it, but I couldn't find any info.
I bought LG P990 from Amazon... And the seller store sent me an LG G2X
Are the both exactly the same?
I don't think so since the Android release isn't the same for both devices.
And I hate the T-mobile logo!
The LG P990 is sold for $400 and the Unlocked G2X $340 - $380!!
Any comments or suggestions appreciated.
no they are not exactly the same they do have the same outer caseing i think because I have a ext batt that is for the O2x and it fits the G2x perfectly. The O2x has not gotten GB yet as far as I know. I also dont think you can use a p990 in the US without unlocking it and then you probally wont get the full use of the phone I think again I am not an expert but I know if you unlock an I phone and use it on TMO network wich is the same technology as ATT you dont get full data fetures or any data at all someone said. So I would imagin it would be the same for a overseas phone. Maybe someone who really knows can enlighten us.
I am not in USA. I am in Egypt. We have GSM here. I am not asking about the network capabilities, I want to know about the phone itself.
I found this on engadget.com:
"While the hardware remains the same elegant Tegra 2-infused slab of glass, metal and plastic, the software has been liberated from the shackles of LG's UI customizations into a serving of vanilla Froyo -- the exact same approach T-Mobile took when it introduced the Desire Z as the G2 without HTC's custom Sense skin last fall."
Hardware is the same software is different. Simple question simple answer.

The O2X has a custom LG UI similar to Samsung's UI. It has too many colors and I don't like it. The O2X also comes with way too many preinstalled system craplications. I am in Thailand and looked at the O2X in the stores here. I did not like the UI so I bought a G2X from the USA, sim unlocked it and using it here in Thailand. I much prefer the stock UI and wanted GB now also.
The hardware is not identical. The O2X supports 900, 2100 3G (at least as sold in Thailand), while the G2X supports only 1700, 2100 3G. Also the internal memory is partitioned differently so you cannot flash a ROM meant for the O2X on the G2X and vice versa. The exterior cosmetics is identical except for the T-Mobile logo on the front.
If you bought a P990 and you received a P999 you did not receive what you paid for. You should complain to Amazon and get a refund if it bothers you and you want only a P990. If you don't mind and you have 2100 3G where you are then you can keep it and use it. Due to the vanilla Android, the G2X is a little better than the O2X in my opinion.
The seller store from Amazon called "abe-123" refuses to admit the mistake. They say it's the same phone, just different names. Although they have 2 different listing on Amazon for both G2X and P990 with 2 different prices!
The G2x is pretty much an LG Optimus 2X. I believe it's the same hardware, but they use different basebands, and the Optimus 2X has an FM Radio.

Different radio chips. If the same you could change the bands by flashing, which we cannot do. I have had other phones where you could change the radio code and get different bands. I believe if we swapped basebands on the G2X and O2X we would have a brick on our hands.

Complain to Amazon, not the seller. Amazon requires sellers to take back products if the buyer is unhappy. It is a requirement of selling on Amazon. If you complain to Amazon they will more than likely freeze the funds until the matter is settled.
I agree with the last poster you did not get what you ordered they are not the same you can get LG involved if you have to.

Some owners of LG Optimus handsets might be asking where their Android 4.0 update is. LG Singapore has decided to take the time to announce that Android 4.0 is coming to the LG Optimus 2X, LG Optimus Black, LG Optimus 3D, LG Prada 3.0, and LG Optimus LTE. No date was given as to when the updates might be sent out except to say that they will be received by owners of those devices "in due time".
The LG Optimus 2X is getting Android 4.0 says LG Singapore
The whole Ice Cream Sandwich update process has been a headache for LG customers. For example, while the LG Optimus 2X is getting updated, its U.S. variant, the T-Mobile G2x, is not. We can't even say for certain whether or not the updates confirmed by LG Singapore are just for those particular models in Singapore.
About a couple of weeks ago, a tweet from LG confirmed that the LG Optimus 2X would be updated to Android 4.0, but only in South Korea. The tweet noted that the update was still being tested. Before that, LG Canada confirmed the update for LG Optimus 2X owners in that country. LG Optimus LTE owners in both South Korea and Canada were also told to expect Android 4.0.
Frankly, the way that LG has informed customers and others about its plans for the Ice Cream Sandwich updates has not been clear. Instead of having LG regional offices make statements, one dispatch from the suits in South Korea could clear up any confusion

Great to hear !
Well at least I can breathe easy because LG Singapore says so, so I should expect it will be released in my country

Is anyone using one of these here in the States? What network are you on and how is the service?
I have an opportunity to get one at a reasonable price and I regret getting rid of my Optimus 3D last year.
Personally, i dont think Lg is bringing that phone to the america since the thrill was kind of a flop... They might bring it to metro or something, but not close to AT&T. Since almost all phones, including the Optimus G are already a quad core, and with the s4 coming and note 2, the 3d max wont stand a chance.

Hey,
No, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to know if anyone was using an international version on any US networks, and if so, what network. It seems like all users are in Europe and Asia.
