So who's going to try this new LG X3 phone. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...s-news+(DroidForums.net+News+::+Android+News)
remember what happened to the first tegra2 dual core phone? Why would you want their first quad after that? Besides quad core means more battery consumption and more ****ty lg and nvidia coding.

Might as well buy a Nexus if you have the money for this one.

They will take your money and then tell you they will have a update to fix the bugs in a few months and you will never see it.

See, I'm not too upset with LG. Admittedly, the G2x isn't the best phone. I won't be the fanboy to indefinitely and baselessly defend LG, NVidia, or their products. But I think a lot of the bad rep the the three have gotten is a little picky. My phone is blazing fast, even faster than my old Sensation, has absolutely superior build quality, screen is great, dev community is pretty decent, etc. I understand people dislike NVidia and LG for their support and that's totally understandable. I've been a huge fan of my G2x; I've had ZERO issues since I bought it. No screen bleed, nothing.
You can count me in on this X3. I own a number of LG products. Hell, I even swapped my flat screen when a newer model came out. LG always improves upon their products, no matter how ****ty the first model. I've been more than content with my G2x and I'll trust LG on their next device. If the dev community suffers because of their negligence, however, it'll be on to the GN.
Ehhh. No im not going to get a device which will be EOL'd in less than a year. The G2X hasnt been around for a year since the release and they eold it before the samsung viberant if im correct. Im buying samsung or htc next.

I just can't believe how easy it was for them to give us a poop update to 2.3 instead of just revamping and fixing the little issues that 2.2 had (mainly data issues for me) I didn't have many issues either and my phone is incredibely dast, faster then my friends Amaze 4G, not overclocked. I want to root his phone and put AOSP on it, he isn't down lol. I just like the metal feel of most HTC phones, and the fact that they put out minor patches and seem to care about their phones that they put out. The G2X needs multiple little patches that has been ignored, LG states over and over that our phone 2X series line will be updated, I want stability over all not major upgrades. the whole time they working (5-7 months on ICS they could put out little patches for 2.3.... #HUGERANT lol
Laughing My Arse Off! They said they learned from their mistakes!
I learned from my mistake!
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!
I wouldn't buy an lg gun to shoot myself with. Jk this might be worth a try as a second phone.

I feel the same, I was on the fence on the G2X, I had zero consumer confidence in LG at that time, I was also pressured when the phone was released as my wife was waiting for my MT3GS, I really wanted to wait for the sensation, waiting now for the next good HTC phone to release or possible Nexus if it comes to Tmo

What's wrong with a quad core clocked @ 1.2GHz? You do realize how fast that is, right?
So the problems double.

Why believe them? They would do more for their crappy reputation if they just updated their existing dual core phones now to ICS. The LG X3 is just another scam. Promises, promises, promises, all broken. No more confidence in LG which sucks big time. BTW, Americans and Canadians gave their lives to prevent the Communists from taking over South Korea so that capitalism flourishes in S. Korea so that companies such as LG can exist. LG is a despicable company dishonouring the sacrifices of Americans and Canadians and the virtually free trade which S. Korea enjoys accessing the North American market which it doesn't appreciate. I have an uncle who volunteered for the U.S. army during the Korea conflict and he says that the sacrifice wasn't and isn't worth it because S. Korea plays the trade game one way, their way only, because they don't allow the same access to their market as North America does. Shame on LG for abusing us.
Now I for one would say LG dropped the ball on the g2x however look back to Samsung's and HTC's first phones. All of these companies dropped the ball on there phones. Hopefully LG will understand the higher demand for support for there higher end phones. This was there first attempt in this higher end android market. They failed but so did HTC and Samsung.

So ... just went on lg website and was confused why the g2x is no longer listed in the smart phone tab. In fact the only place its listed is when you click "all phones". Its weird because all other phones pale in comparison even the " new" revolution ( single core snapdragon) is like a total step backwards. Any thoughts why? Me personally, I love my g2x and will probably keep it for the length of my tmo contract.
"If Satan lived in heaven he'd be me... "
It's still on the site though. That's a pretty wild assumption to make just because it's in a different category than you'd expect.
I highly doubt LG is secretly discontinuing their flagship phone a few months after launch.
I don't think they will discontinue their greatest phone.

That has been like that for a while now. When I first went to LG's site to look at the phone back in mid May it was hard for me to find it on their site. I'm not sure why it is not listed in the Smartphone category unless it is just an oversight by those who manage the website.
Perfectly said. With the giant like Samsung Galaxy S II around the corner, once the SGSII is released it will age the current phones dramatically.
LG has to keep up with the times...particularly in the design department. You hold up the G2X against the HTC Sensation and even the SGSII (although it is simple it is very elegant) it makes the G2X look like grandpa.

OC to 1.7 ghz.
Bigger screen.
I was thinking about grabbing a gs2 when it hits here. Depends on what the T-Mobile flavor ends up being (Hercules?) But only if its a significant difference between that and their international version.
Next phone I'm gonna end up getting is probably gonna have a quadcore. I think im future proofed enough.
@OP T-Mobile also took it off their website "Supply restraints." and there was also a leak from tmonews that it'd be going up in price to 300 on contract.

If anyone thinks LG won't drop support of their flagship phone, you should look at what they did with the Expo (Monaco) when it was released.
I checked their website. It flashes the G2X when you open their Smartphone screen, then disappears. If you go to All Phones - it is there.
Maybe they are trying to tell buyers it is not "smart" to buy one right now as a smart phone - lol.

By Tmo rep you mean a CSR that you got on the phone?
They don't know **** from brownies.
Well it doesn't look good for the g2x. This is kind of an update to my original post. My woman's phone finally went suck-mode. It will now, not stop re-booting itself or do the screen freeze. At least 8 or more times a day. So I call tmo, which in itself was disappointing trying to charge me 20$ restocking fee or whatever they labeled it. Not to mention the Rep tried to play dumb saying tmo was unaware of the 'big 3 " issues. She later admited they did know, they just weeny ready to make it official. Anyways long story short I finally get the fee wave and she's about to tell how long the back order iswhen she says " oh... looks like its been pulled.
Me: the g2x?
Tmo Rep: yes. But don't worry you'll still get yours.
How can a company be allowed to
A. Either deliberately tell there employyees to decieve the customers on information such as known problems or issues or
B. Have such an incompatant workforce where each employee makes up their own answers.
I'm gonna go down with the ship I guess. I'm never gonna trade myg2x in. Untilled it starts messing up which I hope is never.
BTW the womans phone is pure unmolested stock no root.

They won my heart back after there recent move which showed just how much they want to be involved in Android development. I think right now Samsung has the best display technology out there and in my opinion they make the best looking LED's and LCD's. They also managed to squeeze more power out of a dual core mobile CPU than anyone else has and if you remember, they also managed to squeeze more power out of a single core mobile CPU (Hummingbird) than anyone else. They have there problems just like everyone else. I haven't seen a perfect phone yet from any manufacturer. I don't know about everyone else but I have no problem supporting a company that is going to give a SGSII to the Cyanogen team so they can start developing for it. It would be stupid on my part to write off the company who sells more mobile phones per year than anyone else.

Who would of thought that Samsung would have gone from goat to hero so quickly. It wasn't too long ago that people wanted their heads for froyogate. However atm, they are the most dev friendly company out there. I would have no problem supporting them in the future. That being said, one of my colleagues owns a SGS2 (on the AT&T network) and while on paper it's a beast, in reality I really couldn't discern a real difference between the sgs2 and g2x.
LG releases two new gb phones of the "optimus" line.
http://tinyurl.com/65lt3sd
What bothers me here is how they do something like this for some ghetto phones but didn't do this for a flagship phone? or instead of devoting putting more manpower towards the issues with our phone we put people to work putting 2 new gb devices out. Feels like the whole Samsung debacle all over again.

You answered your own question. The company makes money selling new phones. We have already purchased our phones. Samsung did it, most other manufacturers do it, it's just how they roll. If they can make money pushing a new product before they update current devices they will put current on the back burner. Money money money.

Yea your right and I know it....doesn't make me feel any better about it. Pisses me off actually. Samsung damaged their rep badly...you would think LG wouldn't make the same mistake. If they took care of us we would be repeat customers and would use word of mouth to spread LG glory. Instead the reverse will happen. Its bad business.

They damaged their rep with heavy users, but the majority of people don't give a **** about upgrades and all that. I completely agree with you, it sucks. But from a manufacturer standpoint, the major players are doing very well. I mean look at the success of the SGSII and the hype for the Hercules. Technology is moving so fast and new products out all the time for people to really mean it when they say #neveragain to Samsung.

Well HTC had the Nexus One
Samsung had the Nexus S
Motorola had the Xoom (which, to my understanding, the Nexus of Tablets?)
I've heard both LG and Samsung. I've heard more about the Samsung Nexus Prime, being based off the SGS2.
Samsung always has a Nexus phone based on their previous model. Why can't the Nexus phone BE the next big model like the Nexus One was? Nexus Phones should be the flagship of Android devices that all other phones should model after.... why has this gone?

I do tend to agree. The nexus s was not a major step forward in tech when it dropped. However if the timed the new nexus right they could make it a big deal. Give it things we want combined into one phone. Quad bands,radio, samoled, if timed right triple core,10x cam front and rear flash,HD front and rear record and playbaçk, I mean the list goes on and on and peoples desires vary but who ever makes it needs to listen to the consumer and do it right.
Success is based off consumer purchases and satisfactory after purchase. Not how much your beta tester goes ooooh its purdy.

What you are saying is not "listen to the consumer/do it right."
I can understand Quad 3G bands. But just ask yourself: triple core? REALLY? What apps you need triple core?
I assume 10x you mean 10x digital zoom. REALLY? How many of you ACTUALLY used zoom when taking pictures?
HD front camera? REALLY? You can tell the differences of a downsized (to 800x480 or qHD) 1080i/p video?
Lets get real here.
Got good news every one I just got off the phone with tmobile and lg tech support managers both have confirmed gb will be here and on all g2x (p-999) devices before july 28th this year and the phone had not been recalled

Realistically I would love for the next generation Nexus phone to at least have 1ghz-1.2ghz dual core processor, Super Amoled Plus screen or SLCD with higher resolution than the traditional 480x800, 1080p video recording, 1.3 front facing camera, 8 megapixel camera, NFC chip, 5 inch screen without any capacitive or hardware buttons, 1800 mah battery and posibly dual stereo speakers. I think that would definitely be more than good enough and is more realistic to build. We honestly do not need anything bigger than dual core for these phones. 1ghz single core still gets the job done without lag as long as the software is built well.

The Nexus S 4G (which wasn't really different), so I did do a bit of keyboard-in-mouth, for a minute there I did forget the Nexus S came out on T-Mobile first. Tired.
I came from the Nexus One, bought the G2x off-contract, specically to be able to pick up the Nexus Prime at a discount.
I just hope the nexus prime won't disappoint. Rumors on specs are mixed. The qualcomm chips in the Tmo SG2 and Amaze are meh. Also 5mp camera is meh.... other specs say it'll have the Exynos chipset and 8mp cam. Some say Verizon will get it first others say T-Mobile. Verizon has the Droid Prime with similar specs already and aren't ones to keep it clean with Android.
Either way, if the specs are worthwhile over the G2x, I'll grab it.
Best solution for me personally would be Verizon with sweet specs as my old work blackberry needs upgraded and I set up our new exchange to work properly so my company is allowing Android sets now... meaning I can kill my $70 personal T-Mobile line, sell my G2x and profit.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI

The Prime looks nice but I plan on holding onto my G2x until the phone hits at least the one year mark if not more to see what's coming next spring and summer. Quad core phones anyone?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I know everyone wants the latest and greatest, but sometimes it's a bit overkill. Unless you have a good job with 500+ bucks to throw I don't see why we should be running to get the Prime when you already have a Tegra 2 Dual core device. Nothing can even tough this device yet.
It'd be hard for me to dump my dual core device for another dual core. At this point might as well wait for whatever the next gen quads come out next year. And once that happens, I don't even know what we'd do with a quad core lol.
Well... We'd buy more batteries, of course.

Lol, I seriously think they should just take a break on the progression of processors, screens, GPU's, etc. and use that time and man power in advancing the technology of battery's... That's literally the only Achilles heel that even the best smartphone's have these days.
At this point, I'd rather have the creation of a 5,000 mAH battery with out changing it's size than a quad core processor.

Agreed ten fold. I'm waiting til the Nexus Double Prime before I plan to upgrade. This phone is doing just fine, and has a very nice set of developers working on it for us.
If they did make quad core phones, I bet the battery life would be at least 20% worse than now. When I'm not even getting super amazing battery life to begin with, it might be a problem.

Yeah, main difference between the two will be updates. Something the G2X will probably never officially see. After the half ass 2.3 update we got I'm pretty much over it.
....
I really don't see the point of quad core phones; unless Google does something unbelievable with Jelly Bean that needs an insane amount of processing, nothing a smartphone does needs that much. Hell, dual core isn't even that necessary unless you run a lot of 3D stuff.
There is such a thing as overkill people. I'd like to see phone manufactorers declare the smartphone as it exists now finished and start working on some new innovations that would make better hardware necessary. 3D screen ala Nintendo 3DS with FFC capable of eye-tracking to orient the 3D so you see it at any angle?
While I agree that the G2x can hold its own, I do miss owning a nexus device. My friend still has his Nexus One and running official software we can only get via custom roms.
My reasoning to grabbing the Nexus Prime IF if launches on Verizon is so my work can pay for it. Unfortunately I heard Verizon is launching the Galaxy Prime.... which is similar but not the nexus prime backed by Google.
Well just have to wait until Tuesday. All the rumors running around its hard to make any reasonable decision.
If Verizon gets gimped on Google support then I'll keep my G2x for a long while.

Agreed. My work is on sprint and I am waiting to see if it launches on sprint. If it does, I'll pick it up. If not, either sii or stay on g2x. It looks to me that the prime is going to launch on everyone but sprint.

As far as i've see some people are getting the sensation 4g as a replacement, and sadly because it hit EOL, there will be no more updates supported by T-mo.
LG can still release updates, but they won't be official, and as far as we all know there won't be updates from LG either.
And that is it, no more LG products for me.
LG NEVER AGAIN.
Nvidia and LG NEVER again. Sucks

What a f%&@ joke! Hopefully i can get enough money for this pos to pay for breaking t-mo contract!
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!
People that are members of XDA shouldn't really be upset with this news. The G2 and MT4G hit EOL like 6-8 months after release and look at how those two phones are doing. Dev and ROM's are still steadily being pumped out on those two phones.
I know we don't have that many devs but the this news doesn't affect oru phone in any way considering we mod it to our liking anyways. Plus I never expected LG to update this phone to ICS, and if they did, would probably take more than 6 months. We'll just have to rely on the CM team like most phone modders do. We'll be fine.
I agree, its just the way android phones are. If people quit buying phones that arent worth buying in the first place, they would be forced to put out way better phones and eol would take longer to happen. Its just a gimmick to get consumers to spend more cash look at the sensation, sensation xl, amaze 4g. All basicaly the same phone with slightly different specs yet we the consumers spend the cash and continue to let these greedy companies make subpar phones not worth an upgrade to. I didnt choose the g2x hoping lg and nvidia would support it, xda already does that!

Whooo who who +1 amen
I hate to beat a dead horse here, but decisions like this will probably be the majority of the reasoning of why I have begun thinking about swapping to an Iphone. Yes, the may not be exactly fast at upgrading the hardware of the phone to whats considered current. But, how long has the 3G been out? And it is still getting software updates.
LG - I love your tv's, but you can keep your damn phones.

I would say it's more perceived obsolescence, since the device still functions just as good as it did on day one.
I'm pretty upset about this though. Granted I got this device for free...but I'm already kinda tired of it.
I am not sure I understand. Does EOL status affect the quality or use of the phones we already? Does it suddenly make the phone unusable? Does it stop anyone to get his phone fixed under warranty?
EOL just mean they are not selling it any more. Not abandoned support-wise. Also if they are not going to update it to ICE, stay out of EOL doesn't change it any better anyway.
FYI. The car you are driving is probably EOLed, too. So are most appliances in your home.
I'm with a lot of people in here so far, this doesn't bother me at all. Even if there is no official update to ICS then we will still have it eventually anyway. My G2x more than likely isn't going to die before I upgrade to something better later this year anyway...

Yeah but my car is not closed source, i can take it apart, put it back together, update engine/exhaust/etc.
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!
Why all the hand-wringing? It's not like this is completely unexpected. How many here are runing the tmo stock rom? I would bet not many.
ICS will be here soon enough. My question is if the phone is EOL, would LG and/or Nvidia be more likely to release the needed bits and pieces our devs so badly need? It is "old" technology now so maybe that is a possibility.
I guess if I had to have ICS today I could always pull out my battle tested HD2.
Think of it this way guys - this makes your G2X a rare gem in the android world.
I havent even had the phone that long(got it oct 2011), but its been bugging me since a week or having it. random reboot and shutdowns. Freezes ect.. Doesnt matter what rom oe kernel same problem. I believe the phone is overheating or the chip things its overheating and is locking up/ shutting down.
But its time to lay this phone to rest. Im moving on to a galaxy s2 in 2 months.
I believe this phone would have lasted longer if it didnt have the problems it has and if lg released the source code for updates.

so why can i only get $70 for my mint g1? Tech moves so fast that last month stuff become old news
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.

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.

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
