Oh f*ck no! This is BS. I'm going to call T-mobile and f*cking complain that I bought a high end device and got a piece of sh*t phone that isn't even going to be supported by the manufacturers! These b*itches are gonna here me!

This was my first LG phone. While the hardware is great, the official software sucks. The way LG handled GB was lame, and they way they are handling this is lame, it's like they don't want customers to buy another one of their phones in the future. Well, I guess my next phone is going to be HTC or Samsung.
Sent from my CM7 G2x using XDA Premium App
Yeah, this is my last LG phone.... back to Samsung or HTC for me and pawn this phone off to the girlfriend...
I've been lucky and not had any issues with my phone ...even when I was on the stock froyo rom. We ended up with a working GB rom from the cm team months before an official one was released. I'm sure if its possible someone will port ICS to our phones. If your one of those that doesn't flash roms and will only install stock roms from the manufacturers then you prob should only be buying nexus phones to insure upgrades, or you shouldn't be using android at all and buy an iphone.

The only way to tell LG that the "F" up is to stop buying LG phones.
It will take efforts from everyone to start telling friends and family not to buy LG phones and to go somewhere else. Get the movement going.......NO MORE LG! LOL
I think by making this move LG has messed up bad. Even if cm9 is released it will never take the full advantage of our tegra dualcore processor. LG must provide their version of ICS so that the cm team can improve our version.

Just saw this and even though I no longer have this phone I'm still pissed (cuz my brother does have it).
First a POS 2.3 update and now this slap in the face. This phone is probably one of the most Epic Fails that I've seen (software), as far as hardware it would still run circles around some of these new phones out including my SGS2.
Unfortunately it will never see it's full potential thanks to Nvidia for not releasing their source and LG for not updating it.
Yeah, these great devs can port any future updates, but it will never work to it's full potential.
Needless to say that I've learn my lesson and I will never buy an LG phone again. I'll stick to HTC and Samsung(which I hope they improve their track record).
Of course there will be ICS for us. CyanogenMod is comprised of some pretty freaking smart developers.
Did you seriously not see this coming? It took LG months to get the 2.3 update out the door and even then it shipped with a FroYo kernel. While the answer sucks, I give them credit for being upfront about it in their communication. That's more then can be said about how they handled the issues when the phone first came out. I got a G2X on launch day and returned it during the remorse period. I left T-Mobile over the experience.
They just deleted that comment ><

Unfortunately, as any Vibrant user will tell you, without an official release, CM will only work half-assed.
I just read that as well and I did not like it at all.
I think we need some how to request a promptly official comment/update on this matter from LG (LG Dev Team, LG Customer Care Dept, LG Folks, LG Product Pro, SmartPhoneGeek).
For me, if I do not hear any official positive LG commitment to their best Smartphone, I will be throwing the towel and asking my money back, because you guys have failed big with your own and with your Customers as well.
By the way, how is the Class Action Lawsuit going?

Well, honestly, I am still inside the buyer's remorse period on my G2X. I may very well return it and eat the $50 restocking fee. I only picked it up 2 days ago.

Yeeesssss, loft in its beauty. Feel it in your pocket.MMMMMMMMM. So good.
I bought mine on launch, and I still love. My only regret the is potential loss of tmobile, but the FCC seems to be leaning against that.
I really like it a lot. I think it's still the phone I'd choose today if I was in the market again; I've really appreciated the stock experience, especially post-2.3.3 patch, which fixed pretty much all my gripes with it.
I love it, but the only thing that I can think of to change is making the speaker audible when laid on it's back. I had a few missed calls because of this.
I love it. Started off a little bit slow, but things are starting to catch up... slowly.
I never get sick of the phone's looks. And getting the Case-Mate Pop Case made me even love it more.
Edit: Slow as in development.
I love it to death. The only way I would think of giving it up is if the deal goes through. Having a 3g phone with no 3g is lame.

Same with this guy.
my brother has one. ihave iphone 4. last week i bought one. used but almost brand new. not a single cratch with no visible gtid pattern on the matrix pentile screen. it was stunning.
i figured what the hell, i will try it for few days. if i like it, i will keep it and sell my iphone 4. if not i will return it to the store " store owner is my close friend "
so i played with it. i think its awesome. but i gave it to my brother since it was in better shape than my brothers and he sold his phone.
i use skype video calls almost daily. and i play alot of games. i figured i can live without the skype but it was a no go.
its funny how a small things can screw up big things.
all in all i think its one of the best phones in the market. and i recommend this phone over any andriod phone available right now.
unless optimus 2x will have a cracked bootloader, then i dont think any phone coming soon will top the nexus .
right now i am waiting for the xperia play. for the same reason, i play games alo :/
Interesting responses. I for one, do love mine. I don't think I could ask for more except 3g.

I don't see any reason not to like the Nexus S currently...the only drawback is lack of dual core and 4G. But no biggie to me...I can live with 3G speeds and this phone is super fast with custom rom's, kernels even without dual core.

Then you'll complain about Samsung's delay on Android X.X. Just stay on the Nexus line and wait for the 3rd Nexus Phone.
Got mine as soon as Bestbuy opened on launch day, rooted it later that day as soon as Koush posted directions. Still love the phone and wouldn't trade it for any other phone available now or that has been announced/rumored.
I LOVE IT!

Tmonews is reporting the ICS updates in the near future. The only devices mentioned are GS2, Amaze, and Sensation. I was pretty sure we weren't getting it before but now I am almost positive that we are not. Perhaps if the O2x gets it then we can port it over.
I am waiting to see when will the Galxy Note or Galaxy S3 come to T-mobile. If the date is too far away(We are always that last to get anything) then I am getting a $399 Galaxy Nexus.

Yeah I agree. We aren't gonna see an official ICS update. This phone caused way too many problems for T-mobile/LG. If we were to get an update it should've been before the update for the SGS2 since the G2x came out before that phone.

Although, from that site that you posted look at the very left of the picture. It says G2x with the letters "ch" at the end of a word below it. Maybe there is some hope after all!

Just enjoy GB. TMO released a good GB ROM and CM7 is still pretty awesome for this phone. If ICS comes then cool, if not then just be content or move on to something else.
Look at the picture in the link from the OP
On the left hand side, it says G2X in red font. Below it you can make out the letters "ch" at the end of the word. So maybe that means that the G2X Ice Cream SandwiCH update is overdue????

Ok, so since everyone wants to sit here and bash. Lets me burst everyones "official ICS" dreams. Its not gonna happen. It'll most likely never happen. How do I know this? I sell phones. If T-mobile had plans for it, why would they move forward in production of newer model phones? Oh, and the reason HTC sensation is getting it is because they make money on it. The G2x is falling behind in the market where everyone wants the Galaxy series (say hello to the galaxy blaze and the soon GS3) or HTC. If no one's been paying attention(and I doubt anyone does) HTC, G series, Samsung, and apple are the sellers. Not Lg, not pantect, not any company thats been a waste of funds for the last 2 decades of cell phones. But again, you know, ROMS aren't official, but they're only thing your G2x will get ICS with. So, yeah. Go cry in a corner now that you know LG hates you.

The thing with all this is that both companies screwed us over. In my case, I bought a high end android device a year ago expecting it to last me the 2 year contract I was signing with a phone company that would also be good. 13 months later, I read that even with a phone, that spec wise is still great, I won't be able to experience what is being offered by android because the manufacturer simply doesn't care anymore and I have to rely on modification and root to get what I paid for in hard earned cash? and to top it all off, T-Mobile begins charging me for tethering that when I signed the contract was listed as a feature that was included. This is why android, phone companies and all the manufacturers are going to ****. As a consumer we have to put up with all this and go through having to pay for new devices that have the latest "version" because the manufacturers don't want to spend time on a device they have already profited from even though it is fully capable of being up to par with most new devices. XDA, Rootzwiki and all the great people of the shared android community make this bearable, yet it is beginning to not be enough that we have to void a warranty in order to be content. I am tired of this and with the G2x being my 8th android device in 5 years of android I am just done with the same story every time.

Realistically, LG can only upgrade the international O2x if they make a small attempt, the G2x has to be tested & "approved" by T-Mobile and they're too lazy to do that (they deceptively make it sound like it's completely dependent on LG). So our best hope is to get the O2x's drivers working for a CM9 or AOKP build for the G2x.
I really am iffy about switching to the new 21y update. Should i dive? Or is it a stupid update?

If you use GPS go for it then use CM7.2 RC3.
Though if you're fine and don't have any problems like me, stick with what you got.
The press anti-Android spin this year has moved on from Fragmntation myths, to upgrade timescales. I would like to ask WHY Android owners expect to get upgrades the moment they are announced...
I mean if you wanted prompt updates, then the ONLY way is to buy a network-free Nexus handset. If you cheapskate and buy a network subsidised handset, why should you expect to get it the same time as Google can do without any hurdles in the way... If you buy a network-locked Nexus device, the network operator will want to get involved, if you buy a non-Nexus device locked to a network, then you not additionally have to wait for the hardware manufacturers tweaks.
This really isn't rocket science, so I am wondering why users expectations are so out of kilter with reality....
I don't own a Nexus device (although I do have a Nexus7 on pre-order), and whilst all my devices now have ICS, I wasn't losing sleep until ICS arrived, as in the Android world, you don't exactly lose very much, all Android apps works on all OS versions (pretty-much). Sure you might mis out on OS features, but not much else...
And what was the point of all that? You got pre-ordered a Nexus 7. Good for you, but the rest is clear to all of us. And i have seen people gettin mad about updates because the manifacture gave a specific date and didn't hold on the promise.....
everyone is different. Some are still happy with froyo and some others want to see jb on their phones as soon as possible most probably to test the project butter. Every release brings some improvement and humans have tendency to get the "improved version" of anything as soon as possible

Agreed. LG owners of models bought a year ago, which stated in the literature of LG they would get ics are still waiting. It was only recently we got gingerbread on some and that's why some get annoyed.
Manufacturers should honour their commitments or simply stop promising what they can't or won't deliver.

Nope they are quite common at least in UK, here anyone can get phones subsidised by their carrier provided they take a contract for x amount of months. Often you get the phone for "free" but sometimes pay a percentage yourself.
Or you can buy from a third party and they can offer phones on contract with your chosen carrier that are also subsidised which is what I chose to do last year.

I thought that but it isn't quite correct as LG told me that if your phone is supplied by your carrier in UK it is they who put the updates out.
Apparently LG send them it and the carrier adds anything they want before offering it to the customer.

It's been 1.5 years since atrix was first released and there is still no ics for us.

That's not true. It took T-Mobile a good few months after the US to release gingerbread for my girlfriends Atrix.

Probably not coming then. It's not on Moto's list of devices getting ICS.

Well that's the UK.
I live in Ireland, And all updates are rolled out by the manufacturer.
And yes, we do have subsidies here too. Not sure about the countries past the UK though.

I just had to check this to be sure but Ireland and UK both follow same system which is European, whereby carriers release updates for the phones purchased direct from them.
If your phone is getting updates from manufacturer yet is using stock shop bought rom you're probably either lucky or got it from a source other than your carrier as apparently it is supposed to be the same as in UK.
Edit: by an odd coincidence the Irish times also mentioned this being the case http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/finance/2012/0712/1224319858525.html so you might just be very lucky

Well its happened with my X8, and my current phone, the XPERIA Play.
When I first got the phone there was NO carrier bloat ware on it?!
Both phones. But on my Dads X8 (which we bought on the same day, same shop) it had the bloatware.
But when he updated his phone there was no bloat ware, so I'm guessing he was also getting the update via the manufacturer?
Most people don't care or even know what version of Android they are running. As long as they can still download their favorite apps they don't care if they are a few versions behind. Think of all the people out there still running XP on their desktops since it still gets the job done.
Yu no cyanogenmod?

im not waiting cause i alredy got ics
sony is reliable for software updates.
my xpeira ray was released on november , got ics at april along with arc s and neo v but the only problem is they still release phones with gingerbread
.
Just root and flash a ROM.
I don't get why people complain about updating on a modding site.
If you've had an Android phone for more than 6 months, you should know the drill.

But this is BOTH a modding AND a general Android site, Plus the fact that it is so popular.
The title says it all.
Should I make this trade? I was thinking about use Atrix webtop + his docks, but I already have an iPad 3 which makes kind dull have Atrix docks, cause I can perform everything better on the iPad.
So I was thinking, should I trade my LG O3D for the Atrix? Or wait and see if O3D gets ICS and so on...?
Im confused, becase O3D have the 3D features (ofc), radio FM (which I like it so much) and dual channel RAM that I though it a bit faster than Atrix.
On the other hand Atrix has their custom roms on JB already, good docks (which I dont know if im gonna buy it, its so expensive in my country) and more internal memory.
What you guys think?
Think about this 1st are you trading phones just to have JB? Or just because you're actually just tired of LG?

Im kind tired yes...
I don't wanna stuck forever on 2.3, because before my O3D, I was with a Moto Milestone 1 and it already have 2.3.
So Im really temped to try something new, but there so many questions on my mind, if it really worth trading.

well if i was in your situation i'd do my research (carefully) on the particular phone i want to trade my o3d for.... like read through the motorola atrix forum on here... read what others are saying by that phone, ask questions (if the question you have isn't posted) read to see how difficult it would be to root, upgrade etc. that way you'll know if that's truly the phone you want to trade to.
Hope this helps :good:
The Atrix is rather laggy even on custom roms. I had my friend's for a while, it heated up very quickly when using the Webtop and it was quite slow then. Besides, it won't be getting official ICS either.
Let me put it like this

"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My friend has a lot of problems with his Atrix.
Automatic reboots, ****ty signal, calls end randomly, stuff like that.
He sent it to Motorola 3 times already, and when they sent it back it never really got better.
And besides that, it won't get official ICS either.

I was going to buy the Atrix, but I chose the O3D over it because of the screen, although Atrix's is qhd, it's pentile. The colors are greyish, and O3D's is IPS, much brighter and colorful. But Atrix's battery life is way longer, while O3D's isn't even decent, But still, I still choose O3D over Atrix.
Im going to keep my optimus anyway, I only uses it for basic tasks, our phone is dual 512mb RAM ou dual 256ram?

Just a quick word: I will keep my P920 as this is a really fantastic community. Although we don't have ICS yet, we have great developers. We have true DualBoot (and I'm sure there will be a nice interface soon), we have OC-Kernel, our developers are trying to port a leaked ICS... And lots of more. Thanks to all... :thumbup:
Gesendet von meinem LG P920 mit Tapatalk. Rom is ThiaiZ O3D 2.8 with Promethius-Kernel 1.5
Helpful tread.. i had a same dilemma and decide to stick with O3D.. only + for Atrix is the battery and nothin else i believe..
ps. this is my first post on xda...
Well, it all depends on your needs, I think.
I just exchanged a Motorola Milestone 1 for a O3D Max. The feature I want the most is the 3D Camera, to take pics and make movies, and all I wanted was a little more RAM (now I have 1GB, that's fine for me). Ofc I miss the amazing Google apps availabe for ICS and JB, but that doesn't count that much when I think that probably a year from now there will be a new GApps pack incompatible with ICS and JB, and I would get in the same situation I was. That's not what I want. The 3D features will remain the same for more years than the GApps, I think. So it weighted more for me.
If you don't use and don't care with 3D, go for another phone, not Atrix. It is a little old already, Motorola already dropped it's support for the webtop and lapdock and no official ICS or JB. So I'd suggest you get another phone, maybe a Sony from it's newest, that are beautifully designed, decent specs and probably will get more updates.
That's only my humble opinion, ofc. Good luck on your trade.
