I know we just got 2.3.3 but I'm just wandering why they getting an update so fast and who knows when we will get another one

Probably never, there are rumors of the g2x getting ICS 4.0 sometime, although that is highly unlikely. You can try out CM7 for 2.3.5.
What he said
LG and T-Mobile won't come out with any updates. LG releasing the source code, they abandoned support.
XDA is only reason this phone gets any kind of love and support.
There is hardly anything noticeable between 2.3.3, 2.3.4, and 2.3.5.
If you want a newer version, do a custom rom. I can't understand why people, on XDA especially, fight so hard to stay on a stock rom that is old and lacking. My neighbor bought a G2x the other day and I NVFlashed his phone in like 4 minutes (mostly due to downloading and finding the XDA thread for the NVFlasher).
Gingerbread is available in a plethera of roms for our device. I'd much rather LG focus their efforts on a timely ICS release.
I just wish nvidia would release drivers. I would love a2dp on the newer roms

I agree completely. This hardware won't be outaded any time soon. It has a lot of power. Hopefully LG will do a better job with the next update.

I hope we don't get 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 if that comes. I want LG to just focus on getting out 2.4 as near as available as possible. All the learning from vanilla with driver fixes should make 2.4 a snap.
At this point nothing about 2.3 any variants makes any difference after 2.3.3
The G2X vanilla should easily be able to handle Android 4, or 2.4 whatever its named sandwich. The hardware is spec. And should be able to get onto the next version after Ice Cream, at that time it will be like a basic model that can still easily support.
I am expecting 2 more full releases on the phone, as the cost for LG to do, with the drivers worked out, should be very minimal.
Worse case, LG can license a custom ROM, and toss that out for a couple hundred K. 2 man years cost.

It is nice to see you post something other than the CAL... if you really think LG is gonna release anything other than maybe a small updae which i also doubt. maybe youll join with the CAL.. This is it even LG has said they dont even plan on bringing out the camera appp which i thought they would at least do.
As burk said no proof either way. But history means a lot and sicne this debacle i have looked at lg and see this has been nothing new with them. and Updates have been only carrier pushed for bugs from what i have read.
Yes it would be nice to see something new and great for the phone from LG but dont hold your breath.
hmmm
I would rather LG focus on getting all the bugs fix with this phone rather than releaseing a new os version for it plauged with the same issues and froyo and gingerbread

Wouldn't actually work since gtalk works using NEON which our processors don't have. I haven't tried the alternatives (like vtalk our vtok, something like that) but they don't apparently work well. google has to fix it unless there's been a development I missed.

After the fiasco of 2.3.3, LG is never going to touch this phone ever again. It's dead in the water for all they care, and Tmo isn't going to pressure them into updating because they're focused on pimping the Sensation right now.
CyanogenMod is the only way this phone will ever see ICS, I would put money on that.

Android 2.3 Upgrade List: The Rest of the Phones
If a phone isn't listed here -- like the original Motorola Droid, for example -- it's likely because there just isn't much clear info available yet about its fate. Odds are, we'll soon be hearing more and more details with each passing week.

There have been some reports of HTC reps saying we will have an update, and the site says they do not have info on all phones
I think the fact that the myTouch phones use the stupid, TMO customized version of Sense means OS updates will be slightly delayed compared to other phones that use more common user interfaces (only the myTouch phones use "mySense", but there are lots of HTC phones that use regular Sense). That being said, it would be shocking if a phone with hardware as powerful as the MT4G has doesn't get a 2.3 update, or even 2.4 if that comes out eventually.
Shocking yes, but typical in the logic of big business? Not at all.

1) Do you really want an update from t-mobile?
2) If the G2 gets it, my guess is the MT4G would follow - considering the hardware similarities.
3) CyanogenMod7>Any OTA from T-Mobile.

The vast majority of MT4G's and in fact all Android phones are not rooted. Although most XDA users don't want an OTA, most users of the MT4G would benefit from it. Also, the development community can benefit from a 2.3 OTA because of kernels and drivers that are Gingerbread compatible specifically made for our device, that we don't currently have.

If CM7RC4 is as good as it is now, image what will happen if we get the official drivers, and various protocols.
as much as i like AOSP ROMs i'd love to see some HomeBaked goodies using the real deal.
And i know TeamRoyal would cook up some mighty good stuff as well.
Yeah it would deff be nice to see ASOP for us,that would open up so much for us.
If the g2 gets it, and they release kernel source, it wont matter if we get an official version or not.
Ive never like stock, stupid crap i didnt need, slow, and built how they want..Cm7 has everything i need. But if the mytouch 3g got froyo, dont see why this phone, which started at 2.2.1, wont see gingy.
humm... when the ginger comes out i bet the honey based custom will also be out. i take the honey then
man... im hungry
2.3
The MT4G will in fact be getting 2.3
We're definitely getting 2.3............ Multiple sources confirm!

What I know is that LG has their nose to the grindstone trying to get this update out as soon as possible and they won't quit until they are finished and TMO accepts it and sends it out to everyone. To give you an idea of the pace of development happening I received v20t about 2.5 weeks ago and the current version being tested is v21b. The version that was leaked back during the G2x launch was v20c. That's a ton of revisions in a few weeks time!

Assuming LG uses alphabetical designation consecutively, that means there have been 25 revisions since launch, and 8 in the past 2.5 weeks. And they still can't come up with an update they feel is worth releasing.
Seems time to give up on this phone, call it bad hardware or whatever, and move on.
Oh, and I don't want to hear that the update works great, they just want to make it even better. If they could get it stable at all, I have to believe they would be falling all over themselves to get it out to the public, instead of continuing to take this kind of a beating in company image.
I personally think they are fixing the hardware of the phone because it can't be fixed with software updates. That would expalin the re-launch comment. Brace yourselves for the T-Mobile G2x 2.0 in the coming weeks.

Why do you guys still care about this update? Being on XDA, most of you probably rooted, so why not install CM7 while you're at it? It's very stable and fixes a lot of issues with the device.
Because if we have the official update, the developers here will probably have access to hardware drivers that function in gingerbread, which MIGHT allow us to get functionality of stereo bluetooth and high def video mirroring through hdmi, among other things.

Yea cm7 is great and all but its truly not there fully...a2dp gps and sdcard amongst the most obvious issues.
Really the value of a STABLE gb rom is that a lot of the drivers and system stuff can be moved to a modded ROM. It will be great for all the ROMs when LG gets this out!

I don't know about their revision naming scheme, i.e. what constitutes an increase in revision number. And I don't think you do.
Usually more revision means more bugs fixed and better QA testing.

I am sure that it will happen and I think that those of you who say LG will never touch this device are right as well. I could be wrong thought maybe LG will wake up and fix the device. HAHA
LG has a history of not updating devices. Like I have said before other 2X devices are still on Froyo. I asked girl at LG store in Bangkok when the device will get update to Gingerbread and she said "it is not being updated." So be thankful you got any Gingerbread at all, and don't count on ICS or you will be sure to be disappointed later.

Hopefully they don't burst the bubble and make us wait into the new year.
And honestly, I don't see why Google wouldn't release ICS. I mean I understand they're waiting for the Nexus to ship, so that people will buy it for ICS. But then their goal is to have all phones updated to the newest OS. By making their OS compatible with all hardware, and releasing the source code, they don't have to do any work while ROM developers make Google's dream come true.
This is the great thing about open sourcing. Love it!
HELL YAH! Can't wait for CM9!
They're probably going to release the source the day the Galaxy goes on sale.

At&t was ready to give us some sort of GB release back in August, seems to me Samsung keeps holding back because all their newer phones are getting the most respect right now and not our already 1 penny Infuse.

Samsung is a complete joke. This is like a bad OS software. EX: Windows ME!, theirs nothing they can fix so they skipped it creating another phone next to this, Basically the only phone next to this would be the SkyRocket, Shares all aspects of our beloved Infuse, just upgraded hardware and better Support, plus they are getting ICS in the beginning of next year.
Please all G2x owners - if you have had problems with your phone, file a complaint with the FCC. I would post the link but:
"To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!"
uhh...right. So you'll just have to google FCC online complaint and follow the link.
I filed it under wireless carrier and tmobile, though LG is just as much to blame for this piece of garbage. We were advertised a top of the line smartphone and provided a worthless piece of garbage that overheats,randomly reboots, has hardware wifi and gps problems, and will not receive a promised ICS update.
Did I mention they lied about pulling the device from shelves because it was defective? Do I even need to?
Let's make them hurt.
Lolz
Where did you ever see ICS was promised?
LG did upgrade us. From 2.2.2-2.3.3-2.3.4.
So we did recieve upgrades. Just because you want and expect ICS does not mean they have to.
They even released official notice that G2x will not receive ICS.
As for all the other issues, my phone ran great after 2.3.4 update and above mentioned conflicts were resolved.
I personally choose to run CM7 but stock 2.3.4 was a huge resolve and fix from 2.3.3.
Good luck...

They even released official notice that G2x will not receive ICS.
As for all the other issues, my phone ran great after 2.3.4 update and above mentioned conflicts were resolved.
I personally choose to run CM7 but stock 2.3.4 was a huge resolve and fix from 2.3.3.
Good luck...

If you're satisfied with waiting over a year for a working update, and working phone, that's your choice. I paid for a working phone when I bought the device.

yeah, i would have to second this. my g2x had been very good to me with the 2.3.4, and even better rooted and running cm.

don't know about you but mine always worked fine.
And worked better when I got the 2.3.4 update a few months later,
Coming from the g2x to now the SGS III that phone does not work properly. I thought it was a good phone with cm on it, buru rom, I tried them all. Nothing makes that phone worth saying "it got all I needed done" there were plenty of times I wanted to throw it across the room, still do since I handed it down to my mother (who hates it also). You can't tell me you guys will purchase another LG cell phone?

I would purchase from LG again, if the hardware specs were what I am looking for.
I buy devices for their hardware, not factory stock software.
And the hardware on my G2x with my modding is awesome and still puts some of these newer devices to shame.
Example, I would NEVER by something Acer made.
But I did buy the Iconia A100 from them. Out of the box, it was junk. I modded it and it's what I wanted to be.
Hardware specs> Tegra 2
1 GB RAM
1200x600 resolution
For my android gaming needs.
Would I buy another Acer even though in factory condition it's useless? Yes, as long as the hardware specs meet what I am looking for.
EDIT: At this time I am going to bow out of this thread before it gets heated. Good luck OP with your future endeavors. My point has been spoken, made, and seconded. lol

Yea this is probably the 1st time I would have to disagree with ya. The G2x is pretty badass assuming you have one that's not plagued with hardware issues. This phone definetly does all I need it to
I just came back from a trip and was able to watch my movie on-the- plane, Bluetooth my music while navigating to my destination and looking up restaurants on yelp through the car stereo and then back at the hotel hook my phone up via HDMI to the TV to stream my movie and show a PowerPoint presentation. My wife has the sgs3 and still is debating the overpriced mhl cable so she can hook up to the TV like my G2x can with a 3.00 cable from Amazon

Honestly, if you're on xda, then why care at this point? We have gingerbread roms and kernels that add more features and make the phone run better than it ever would. After using fauxs kernel, performance is buttery smooth for me; much smoother than any stock phone I've used. Also, ics just released in Korea for the su660. Pretty soon we'll have cm10 nightlies and a stable release after.
I don't see a reason to complain about the g2x. It's a decent little phone with great community support. What more could you ask for? As long as you're smart and don't buy another LG phone (especially one with a locked bootloader), there's no need to get upset.

Hehehe. Yup Unfortunately All G2xs r not created equal...
yeah i sure wouldnt want to buy another LG phone ever, but i heard the next nexus phone is from LG.........FUUUUUCK D:
The G2x may have good hardware, but it performs for ****. I came from the LG Optimus M and the LG Optimus V before getting the G2x and I stuck with LG due to prior positive experiences. Never again. The M and V performed better out of the box, albeit with lesser hardware capabilities. I never had ANY problems with either one of those phones, yet the G2x gave me problem after problem from day one. I should have returned it when I had the chance, but I thought I should give it a chance. That's too bad, too, because the Galaxy SII was released two weeks after I purchased mine.
I was hoping for a Nexus phone next, but I'll pass if it's LG and just wait to see if Samsung or HTC are also going to release ones as well. Honestly, at this point, I'm also thinking on switching over to Windows Phone 8 when my contract is up next year.

It's amazing how much of a LG apologist you are. Hilarious. Pure fanboy.

Definitely if you don't have a plagued one, unfortunately there are a butt load of them that are plagued and LG just sat and watched and made new phones, and new phones with issues as well. GPS sucks on the device most of the time, screen is horrid, battery could be worse... pairing it up against my gs3 and i get frustrated trying to use it at times, especially with freezes and hotboots and the phone getting extremely hot while charging on the regular... of course I figured out how to get around those problems with a rom and what not... nvidia made it worse with their closed source and stuff. If it weren't for the devs we have/had I would've tossed the phone out a long time ago.
