Infuse or Thrill 3D?

I have a at&t upgrade coming up soon and was wondering wether I should get a Samsung Infuse 4g or a LG Thrill 3D. Any opinions would be great.

Nexus Prime. *nuff said*
If you can't wait just get the infuse, And get the ROM and Mods also the Kernel that I have in my sig...

So, is the Thrill better than Infuse?

Well it's Dual Core and 3D but that's it lol.

You should just wait and get the gs2 if you can't wait and need a phone fast the thrill would be the best phone you can get wen it comes out.. that is if LG don't do what they did to the g2x on Tmo.. just wait Till it comes out read some reviews and make you're choice that way. Because the infuse is a really good phone IMO...

IMHO 3D is mostly bull**** on phones. If it doesn't give you a headache it'll languish for lack of content. Hell 3D in movie theaters isn't all that good, on a phone it's just a gimmick.

If your still have to wait for thrill 3d release, might as well wait for galaxy s2. Infuse is amazing phone with infused rom and infusion kernel, but why not wait and get the best dual core phone of them all. The exynos processor is many times better than the dual core in thrill or in any other phone right now, so if I were you I would wait for galaxy s2 it should be released this month.

Faux 3D lol.
i wanted to get it. but if the Samsung Note hits AT&T before the Nexus Prime well yeah... Samsung Note.
id go for the Infuse. if your really into the 3d thing, you might want to check it out first to make sure it doesnt give you head aches or anything like that.

Not to start an argument or whatever but im sick of people calling 3D on a phone a "gimmick". Would all features/specs not related to making/recieving calls be considered "gimmick" features? Why do we need dual cores/4"+ touchscreens/large amounts of onboard and optional removable storage space ect. to make and rec calls? So to call the 3D a "gimmick", well i guess thats just the easiest way to pick fun at somthing different.
To the OP go to the store and check them both out, when available, and decide what you want from your equipment. Yes content for 3D phones may still be scarce, as 3D phones are still very new to the market, however it does offer an experiance you wont find on a non-3D phone. Play, test, compare, and play some more and get what YOU like!

Just picked one up at target for $49.99...it's charging now

Enjoy ! ! !

a thrill 4g?
and im pretty sure that the actual nexus prime will not release on a CDMA network when it has always been a GSM network, considering the fact that European countries mostly use GSM.
secondly, "Droid" is a Verizon trademark. There can not be Nexus phone using the name "Droid" since the Nexus line of phones have always been global. so the Droid Prime is another phone. there can not be a O2 Droid Prime, of a Vodafone Droid Prime. Droid is verizons simple as that.

I agree with the second part of this phone. To me when i played with the Evo 3D, the "3D" just made the screen blurry. lol. but yet i am getting temped to buy one. but i will wait out the nexus prime... cuz you know.... Optimus Prime needs his Nexus Prime. lol

Costco released the thrill today for 29.99. I work there.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App

Since you work at Costco, do you know how much $ the Infuse is this week?

Not to revive an old old thread but I am in the same boat.
I have LG Thrill 3D 4G right now on AT&T and I am torn on exchanging it with Infuse. I want Atrix and have had 4 Atrix phones, always move to a new phone and then go back to Atrix.
To cut story short, a guy is doing a straight trade for Infuse for my Thrill and I am not sure if I want any Samsung or any AMOLED screen ever after experiencing burn-in on my Captivate.
Do you guys know if they fixed it in Infuse or is it the same and get burn-in after usage?

Great news!!

We are indeed getting ics peeps there was a post on facebook that LG put up. Here is the link it was on android central.

This news is for the OPTIMUS 2X not the Tmobile G2x.
The only thing that pertains to us is "and other high end smartphones". They haven't mentioned the G2x at all.

LG firmly denies the rumors that claim LG will not be providing the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS update for the LG Optimus 2X. These rumors are NOT true. LG is currently in the process of planning the ICS OS update for the LG Optimus 2X as well as other LG high-end smartphones. Detailed information on the ICS OS update schedule for specific models will be announced, once the ICS OS is publicly released by Google. Please stay tuned for more updates from LG

Maybe the hysterical, whiny kids will chill out for a little bit. I am sure they will find something new to ***** about, but at least this should slow them down a little.
The new round of whining will commence when they do not like the update.

Why are all you guys negative.. the g2x is a very powerful phone. First phone to have a dual core processor, our phone is not that easy to forget!

You are so right. XDA started out as a forum for developers. While regular users are welcomed and people try to help them, I have never seen so much whining, complaing and *****ing then I have seen on the G2X forums. It seems that there are a bunch of noobs or just plain old jerks that don't realize these are very small, very powerful computers that can happen to make a phone call as a feature, and there are inevitability some bugs; just as every computer and software program in the world have some bugs. I had another phone that suffered from reboots and SODs but nobody ever whined and complained about it. They just supported the few devs who were trying to alleviate the problems.
Now on another note. The G2X is a 2X device. G2X is just T-Mobile's name for their version of the phone. If LG announced that the 2X will get ICS, I would bet money and give odds that we will see our ICS update before other 2X variants see theirs. This week the first GB rom for the O2X finally was released by LG. It is for the Italian version and is available on the LG Updater. Once they get all the different versions out there updated to GB, then we can wait about another six months at least to see ICS start rolling out.

Yes.. that's exactly what I was gonna tell them o2x gb update just rolled out, we g2x owners have had it for what 2 months.. dude there is a lot of negativity on these forums.. I just joined about 3 weeks ago.. and I've been reading almost everything is negative..

It's been over three months now since GB was released for the G2X. It actually made the phone much better. There is no reason for people to complain any more, IMO.

How many threads are we gonna open about if/when we are getting ics?

I'm not the only one that can't stand the whining
Wow! I'm not the only person that can't stand the whining and *****ing. I have been a registered member almost a year. Started here on my metro pcs ascend. You want to see problems, try one of those. The ascend was my first Android and my first computer of any kind. In less than a year I learned what I needed to. I have never seen such a negative, incompetent group of axxholes in my life. I have 2 g2x's and I still don't know what screen bleed is. Someone Else said what I've been saying, our device is too powerful for its own good, I can handle a reboot here and there. I change roms daily anyway. Well, I needed to get that off my shoulders. These phones should have come with a qualification exam, you don't pass, you don't buy. I love XDA and all they do and have done. I apologize for my noob, axxhole colleagues, may they not ruin it for the rest of us. I am a writer for ACS if you find my ramblings your kind of read. artifintel / [email protected]

LG says official "ICS" for flagship models.

LG says officially that all LG top models are going to be updated to ICS even the O2X. And as soon Google release the Android source for ICS, LG would already talk about dates when update is coming. That's pretty good news, they maybe started to listen to their own costumers. What do you guys think about the information? Can you change your mind about LG after all?

I won't be holding my breathe. I would like to be optimistic about this but with LG's track record, I find it hard to swallow. If anything, we will see ICS on the 3D in 5 months. Thanks for your rom by the way ThiaiZ.

Great lets hope so...

no, mine's still rebooting 3 times an hour when not plugged in and they are no closer to solving it. I'm selling mine to a work colleague and never buying LG again. the 3D will be my first and last LG phone

mmace take out the battery and THOUGHLY clean the contacts on both the battery and the phone. I suspect you have a problem with the connections.

This are great news. LG at last hear its customers. I have faith in Optimus 3D hardware. Its hardware is amazing and with promised ICS support I have wildest performance expectations .This LG optimus 3D I just bought will last a very long time

LG PR
Its fair enough saying that they will release it theyve been saying that about GB and thats like two year old, But does wonders for their PR image. Can see it now 2013 "sorry we havent released ice cream sandwidch but we are currently extensivly testing this so to limit any bugs that maybe present. Thankyou for your patience a release will be proberly tested and in q2 2016"

They must have been pretty impressed with the negative reaction to their facebook announcement about the 2.3 release.
They have deleted over 150 comments so far, most expressing extreme dissatisfaction with their customer and community support.

It sound a good news, let hope so. But LG always lies in 2.3 ....

it's not just the case of LG, SE has the same issue with the X10.
Sadly ppl think that as soon as google releases a new android version we have/going to get it.
it's logic that it will take a bit to get it, it has to go through several stages during the development, let hope for the best and trust LG

Unless I misread it the page says other high end models, not flagship ones and definitely does not say all either. Given the new O3D apparently comes out next year ours won't be a flagship model anyway so they are unlikely to waste time or money developing ICS for our phone when it will be a few years old and outdated by then.

No they are contractually bound to give the o3d and the lg thrill gb and ics updates... google requires manufacturers to provide any os updates with in 18 months of a devices launch... so if a new os comes out by march 2013 for us thrill owners lg will have to give us that as well... for o3d owners... something like january 2013
Actually come to think of it... that may just be an at&t thing

Agree with you, but, but, but. High end phones from LG? Hmmm, O2X, O Black + O3D(most expensive and high ended of the 3). If they are not talking about O3D what phone are they talking about? Correct me if I am wrong, please.
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App

Aside from the 3D aspect O3D is not their highest end or even most powerful phone and given that they are planning its successor for next year I just don't think they will give us ICS.
As regards contractual obligations I dont think they have any as my previous lg phone never got gingerbread and quite a few of them still don't. Isn't android free for manufacturers? If so not sure how they could be tied into future obligatory updates but I don't know for sure their not.

[Q] Where do we G2x users go from here?

We all love the phone. We hate that Nvidia/LG is not releasing the drivers for it and that it has been EOL'ed in just 8 months even thought the phone is still up-to-date in terms of hardware and software and can outperform iphone any day.
Its not getting ICS even though the twin brother O2x is and we cant get a port. Info on the X3 (successor) have leaked but we dont know how legit they are and if it will come to TMO or not. The myTouch line by LG is a downgrade. Having thought of selling the phone now and getting something else but a change in phones is not a must ATM.
Wanted to open this discussion because we are all going to have to upgrade eventually since this is the last stop and my decision on eventually my new phone will be somewhat community driven.

SGS2 is the best phone TMO has right now. The Amaze and Sensation are pretty much the same so you wonder why HTC released them in that manner.
The HTC Ville and SGS3 are rumored to be released, sporting dual-core 1.5 and ICS but what are your thought process and decision making factors that will go into eventually your new phone (X3, Ville, SGS3)?

Where was it said we would not get ICS. I have not heard anything Pro or Con. If the O2x gets it there should be a port. Phone, computers and electronics get ELOed all the time with no issues. Most computers are ELOed even before you buy them off the shelf at the store.

I am patiently waiting for the next best phone from Tmo, it has been somewhat depressing though as there haven't even been any decent rumored phones, this time last year we were looking at sensation / G2x, with SGII / Amaze shortly after. Crossing my fingers we get some kind of whiff from MWC next month.

LG announced G2x was EOLed (End Of Life), which means no support and no updates. there have been other members and posts claiming that isnt true and that an LG rep confirmed ICS for G2x but right now Im more inclined to believe that the phone has reached its end.
Just look at the fire sale TMO is having for this phone. Clear inventory.
Its a shame really, cuz the common person buying/using this phone will never realize its potential like we have here on XDA

Why would they EOL the G2x without EOLing the O2x? They mad because of the complaints the G2x got? And also yes, it is very said that some people will see it free and get it in the state it's in and just think it's another phone LG **** out when it is amazing.!

T-Mobile is eoling it not LG. Which means that T-Mobile will not be doing any ota's for it anymore so if LG does do an update then it will be through there computer update system. This way LG is only responsible if it brick due to update and not T-Mobile.

What do I think? I would guess no. I think that if they were going to release a G2x version of ICS then there would be no reason to leave us hanging when the O2x is practically identical in terms of power to the G2x.

I meant no OTA ICS update, T-Mobile would have to do that , something they obviously aren't considering the situation. We may get a build that we have to flash through our computer, or wait until cyanogen gets his hands on it for the drivers and makes a CM9 build for it.

I have both g2x and SgS2 .. I actually prefer this a little more for 2 reasons.. I like the HDMI which u need an adaptor on the galaxy, and imo this is a little more comfortable to hold. The Samsung is just too light.
And now I've been using miui .. makes me like this phone even more. Even though tmo and lg gave up, who cares. Its xda that's going to keep this phone going. Hell, look at the g1.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

i know this will be my last LG phone. They just don't have the dev support to be in the phone business. I'll get a Samsung next if i do get another phone.
As for the drivers...I heard that the tegra 2 drivers were just released today. will post updated link here shortly.
Also i saw a MIUI ICS at rootzwiki. so even if we don't get an "official" ICS release, we'll still see it from cyanogenmod 9 and MIUI. so your fear of this phone becoming obsolete can be put to rest at least for now.

Thoughts on the upcoming T-Mobile G4x?

Looks like the LG x3 will come to the US as the T-Mobile G4x, much like the LG x2 came over as the T-Mobile G2x. Now, I'm excited about the phone, but am extremely cautious with my expectations. The G2x was a calamity and if it wasn't
for XDA I would have dumped T-Mobile. Today, this is the best phone ever (thanks to Hell's ICS rom) I consistently out perform my friends Galaxy SII's and Galaxy Nexus' (Granted I'm OC'd to 1.4Ghz vs their stock, but hey, that's why I'm on XDA and they are just sheeple phone buyers).
I remember preliminary reviews on the G2x giving it glowing reviews, but when it got to the consumers hands, it was a disaster. I don't think the people who did the reviews know exactly what the definition of review means. When I saw video reviews, the phone had no customer Icons or apps and it looked like someone played with it for about an hour than made a review of it, which would explain the glowing reviews the G2x got from 99% of the "professional" review sites out there.
Me, I want the G4x, I thrive to have a phone with the power of my Transformer Prime, but not with the headaches the G2x started with. I'll read a real reviews posted on XDA or other android forums for 2 months after launch before taking the leap. And hey, with ICS running so fantastically on the G2x, I could wait for T-mo to give a G4x for free on contract renewal.
Just wondering how other G2x owners feel about the G4x? I was considering going with the HTC Tegra 3 phone (The Sensation is getting ICS officially, while LG leaves the G2x dead in the water, thank goodness for community support), due to LG's terrible support of the G2x. Another consideration was to wait for the Krait based phones. Anand did a write up on the architecture and it looks like that Dual-Core can give the Quad-Core Tegra 3 a run for its money. Hey, at least this comes with the latest Android OS, not one 2 versions old (I still can't believe the G2x shipped with Froyo....shudder....)
Thanks for reading, have an excellent day!!!

this might be a dumb question, but whatever happened to the g3 or whatever? did they just skip over that product line? whatever happened to consistency?

I'm not really excited for it. Tegra chips have always been overrated IMO. The Snapdragon Krait processors are already said to perform better on lower levels of energy than the Tegra 3. Even the upcoming dual core Ti-OMAP's and Exynos' are said to perform better than the quad core Tegra.
Plus it's going to be closed source again so devs will have their problems.
So to me, good phone, well built, nice hardware and software, but the closed source is what will make me look elsewhere.

Phone looks decent. At this point in time phone hardware is to the point where pretty much any high end phone will get the job done just as good or slightly (not noticably in real world use) better than its competitors. It will come down phone design, screen size, and software support for me. I'm not going count LG out as this was my first LG phone. The Vibrant was my first Android phone and while Samsung was horrible with support for that phone they seem to have learned from it and are making an effort to do better. No reason the same cant happen with LG.

Actually ICS is coming to the G2x from LG in the 3rd quarter. Knowing how slow LG is, I'm guessing that'll be pushed back to 4th quarter. Still though, LG isn't abandoning us, instead they're just incompetent.

lg ics update < xda devs ics update
Its already here and getting better with each release. Besides that a port from any other tegra 2 based phone that gets ics is better than anything LG wannabe devs could release.

I'm talking about an official update.

Is it me or is there something off about LG. The quality, no matter how good the specs are, just seems mediocre. Back in the day, I used to have an LG Chocolate and while it looked great, it was a piece of crap. Since then I never bought anything LG again. When the g2x came out I decided its been long enough and gave LG another chance. The g2x turned out to have as many annoying problems as the chocolate.
I am done with LG for good now. Fool me once shame on you , fool me twice shame on me.

Yup.. I'm done with LG as well. When it comes time for my upgrade on my G2X I'll be looking for an HTC or Samsung device.

I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I have never had a major issue with mt G2x and with all the dev support, it has been the best phone I have owned. The G4x looks promising but I will wait and see.

My resentment for LG has nothing to do with the developers. CM7 is the best thing that could have happened for my G2X. I was VERY close to ditching the phone until I came across the CM7 rom. With the CM7 Nightly 224 + Trinity kernel, my phone is usable once again. I still have to reboot my phone daily so that I can get working email and such (networking seems to hang if not rebooted daily). I can live with that.

As of now I'm happy with my G2x and LG. Number one I'm a brand loyalty kind of guy. I say that to say this I have no regrets with LG, so I'm really looking at continuing our partnership with the G4x.

Yeah the stock Rom for the g2x sucks but in my opinion they always do.... as far as hardware I'm satisfied with my g2x.

That does look splendid. The new UI looks cool also but I don't like the dock icons. Thanks for posting

I have loved the G2x.. But it looks like I could love this phone as well. I'll probably hold off to the following year though, I hate paying full price

It might just come bone stock like the G2X did. The optimus 2x has an ugly skin overlay and we got it stock-ish.
It will more than likely be stock android but TBH I wouldn't mind this new UI I kind of like it
