Is there any conformation that LG Optimus 3d will get the next version of android. If yes then when ?
OMG!!we are waiting for Gingerbread and you're thinking about IC
Some rumors say that the update will be IS and no more gingerbread.. im not sure though
You can make sure that even in unofficially, the ice cream sandwich will exist for o3d. I know it because the omap4430 will be the ooficial chipset for ICS.
at this rate, we get icecream on 2013

absolutely wrong rumors...i'll receive gingerbread beta ROM in mid october.
No way will we get IS from LG because it wont even be on the optimus 3d 2

I am sure that we will get the update because it is the update that will give the full power of the device as ICS will support dual cores fully, so with dual core and dual channel we will get much much better performance. The question is when? Actually LG should know that if they want to success in smartphones market, they should give a good support and they should beat all other companies, sonyericsson learned the lesson from their experience with X10, now they are on the top of companies that give the best support for their devices, I hope that LG learns the lesson and became the first company that rolls out ICS update(Which is not expected ).

Isn't it a bit late for LG too still be on a beta of Gingerbread in October. You would have thought they would be way past that stage by now. It'll take even longer for it to be released now.

It would make a lot more sense for LG just to go straight to Ice Cream Sandwich as they've left Gingerbread so late to be released.
I think it would be very very poor of LG if they don't even bother to release Ice Cream Sandwich at all. Do they want there reputation to go down even more.

I totally agree with that. If they are not able to release the GB this month, it's better to drop everything and start with the IC update.
It's been said that Google will release the update on Q4 which is very close now, so LG' better put themselves together and work harder, otherwise next time I buy a phone it won't be from LG.
Dear Friends,
Lg O3D is very smooth and 3D is really great with stock rom and even faster with custom roms. I am already satisfied with Froyo since i can run almost all the apps but some games related GB and some frontcam based apps. Yes, GB or ICS are really welcome but i can live with Froyo since not so much complains on performance and usage...
Kind regards

P990 even cannot , message from LG-
Dear , We will not be introducing Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich updates on LG Optimus 2X P990. Keep watching this space for further updates.

What a shiiit job for even a dual-core phones they did, LC, damn you!
I Wish you will be kicked away from the phone market.
Seeing how slow is going the GB update, I don't even think about ISC...
First at all we have to find answers for this question:Is 3D Optimus able to update to Gingerbread in future?
Knowing LG I bet they're wasting their time THINKING about if they want to work on a gingerbread OR ICS release. In fact... they're probably not even thinking about their 3D phone in the first place.

Honestly, if LG reads this thread they'll think we don't even care if they release it or not. Come on guys, I for one love the fact that LG is stepping up to the plate to update the phone for us.
Whether it was due to our complaining, the hate posts on their FB page, our forum, Google pressure, or just the social responsibility of LG, it's acceptable by me.
I'm grateful for it and enthused by it. Anyways, back to the fact, it'll probably take them a while to release it, probably by like next April, but it's still an update.
I take back my post on their facebook page now. They seem like they care after all, even if they are slow, it's not like they've been huge players in the mobile industry as far as I know. So let them gain some momentum here.

Don't worry. LG is not reading this.
who cares?
- If LG does eventually put out an upgrade... it wont be untill Summer if that soon
- It will most likely suck like their GB update did.. ( froyo kernal? cmon )
- Before an official release... you STILL wont have drivers to make the phone function correctly because of NVIDIA
this is why i switched to a SGS2 hercules ....im done with LG and NVIDIA ... G2x had great potential... but i am done and will no longer buy from either company when it comes to phones
It's too bad ATi never made a phone and never will, I would have bought one if they did. Unfortunate thing now is that AMD killed ATi, otherwise it probably could have made a phone that would crush the Tegra 2, just like they do with desktop/laptop GPUs. Anyways, I knew this would happen, apparently I was one of the only people that could spot that the other facebook response from "LG" was a fake :/

You obviously never owned a SGS Vibrant.... still running Froyo 2.2 forevermore. Every company does the "shove it out the door and fuggedaboudit shuffle"...

I don't understand the people who post they are finished with LG and/or the G2x and has had enough. Trade it in for another phone that they say they are happier with, works better than and all that but stay here in the G2x forum to complain. If their new phones are all that much better why aren't they in their NEW forum helping others and such.

I dunno, it's mighty conspicuous they did not say G2X....
Specifically, on Facebook it says:
"We are initially announcing LG Optimus smartphones that will have Ice Cream Sandwich OS upgrade!"
Then on the actual article it says:
"Optimus 2X, the Optimus Black, the Optimus 3D and the Optimus LTE."
That CLEARLY leaves out the G2X.
They are only focusing on the O2x because they originally said it wasn't getting ICS because it was out "before" the Google Update Contract. It was all over the web and now LG publically announced it was a rumor and said they are working on it.
We'll get it eventually. The G2x isn't that old yet. It technically should have been launched with GB. The GB update was promised Day 1 as "GB isn't finished yet, so we'll just launch it with Froyo to make everyone happy". GB update = doesn't count.
So there is no reason why 6 month old phone won't get updated. Probably won't be speedy though.
@above: Optimus 2x = G2x
Same line of hardware. Tmobile has to officially release the update for us... so it won't be announced via LG.

Had the same theory with the Samsung Vibrant. Galaxy S phone, right? So when Galaxy S phones worldwide got Gingerbread, the Vibrant should, too, right? Nope, it was different due to T-Mobile radio and T-Mobile didn't care to push an update. So every Vibrant user is still rocking Froyo while the rest of the Galaxy S world is running official Gingerbread. And don't say Cyanogenmod - support was so bad thanks to lack of closed driver support that CM9 is dropping support for the Vibrant completely, and CM7 never ran right on it.

That's not completely clear. As I recall, the Gingerbread update was originally directly from LG via their updater, and the OTA from T-Mobile followed that.
I am so tired of saying this, but here I go again. The G2X is an Optimus 2X device. To LG it is a 2X. The Optimus 2X line includes the P990, SU660 and the P999. The G2X badging was only for T-Mobile to continue their line of "G" high-end Android devices (i.e., G1, G2, G2X). It was easy for them and LG to just add a "G" to the front of the 2X name. That is why the P999 in Canada is a 2X. Only T-Mobile is allowed to use the G2X name. It is a proprietary name for T-Mobile only. It will get ICS so stop fretting about it already.

Hey LG, since the P990 gingerbread update included the proper LG Camera, is there any way maybe just maybe you guys could push out a fixed LG Camera (NOT AOSP) for the P999 G2X? Many of us bought the phone for the great camera software which you took away with the Gingerbread update!

Agreed but this obviously isn't Samsung. We've already had an update and have NO reason to suggest we won't be getting more updates.
NVidia and LG have closed drivers but that doesn't stop development. Everyone labels LG as being a bad manufacture based on bad experiences with Samsung.
While I would like more "openness" around the device as a whole, I do ultimately blame NVidia. Even on Desktop Linux boxes, NVidia is hush hush.
IMO, looking at LG or any other manufacture, it doesn't really pay-off to release source code within the first year. You have to think that manufactures have to warranty the devices for a year and people boinking their hardware over some poorly self-compiled driver only costs them money.
I predict we'll get an official ICS upgrade and be shut down. The question is if we'll get a new kernel or if they still pimp that Froyo version!

ICS cannot run on the old kernel. It will have to be a new kernel, and more than likely, a new baseband also (as Qualcomm is continually updating the baseband code to finetune it, so there is no reason for LG not to improve the device with a baseband update also).
I've long figured that while there was a small chance LG wouldn't release ICS for the G2x there was a much bigger chance they would.
Here's my logic: The launch of the phone was a disaster from a PR perspective and left a lot of people considering other manufacturers for their next phone. As a result LG has a lot of ground to make up in terms of consumer trust. In terms of repairing their reputation releasing ICS for the G2x would go a long way to rebuilding the trust they lost. As long as LG's beancounters determine that the money put into developing ICS for the G2x is worth it LG will do it.

Why do people on this board whine about this phone so much? There was nothing wrong with the Gingerbread build. It is a very stable and fast stock Android build. If you don't like it install one of the custom roms based on it or CM7.

Let me tell you why, not only do other companies have support from the actual companies eg sony, htc, samsung etc they get dev support from xda and other places.. Where as other companies relase source codes and stuff to help devs along to get things done..
LG well its a ****ing joke of a company, i keep this phone now to f about with it i have a galaxy nexus s now and am really happy. LG is depressing they boast that they have the worlds first 3D phone yet release it with outdated software. And when they finally do release gingerbread. It's fricking broken in many area's and they are not even attempting to fix it at all. Instead they decided to go ahed and release some more ****ty phones and then hyping it so they can sell it to customers and then not support their phones ...
As for source code for the Optimus 3D they cannot release it due to the copy right reasons if they release it then other companies will know what they used etc blah blah blah... BOO LG worst phone ever owned and worst choice ever made by dumb old me..
It's shyt thats the end of it and we will never see release and dev's in this community are stingy they have operating systems like ice cream sandwich and won't release it and try fix it like they do in the old desire forum. In the desire forum if someone has a leaked copy of an operating system they will relase it to the public then all devs come together and slowly but surely one by one they fix diffrent departments and end up with one brilliant working rom.. where as here oh i will show you a video with lg optimus 3d running ice cream sandwich on it and pics but won't release it cuz i am a fag... thats me done venting enjoy...
