I got it cause I can get a hardware upgrade every 12 months so I figured what the hell, a free 3D phone how bad can it be.
My previous android was an xperia x10 which had just recently been having this issue where it would not want to record video.
The LG 3D worked fine for a few months but now I have to restart it at least once a day or the internet and phone capabilities will stop working. It wont turn off or anything but when I try to call something the dialer just keeps closing and the internet just wont connect. The battery is pretty bad, I got a fat aftermarket one on ebay but I can still take that down quite a bit in a day if Im actually using the phone. On top of that the music player has a constant inter-midden skip issues that are pretty annoying. As for the 3D I hardly ever use it since it doesnt do much good when its not on the phone. And Ive talked to a few other people with the phone and they arent happy with it either.
So is it LG that struggles to make a solid android or was this one just on the bottom end so they could slap a 3D label on it?

I guess many of us here wont agree with you about the hardware on O3D. It is imo the most solid hardware from the 2011 phones. Have you tried a custom ROM ? Like mine for exemple?

You are right and you are wrong.
You are right about the device out-of-the-box. LG ROMs are crap, period.
You are wrong because the developers here have done an AWESOME work improving this phone.
Try some custom roms (ThiaiZ, Promethius by Samno, Acura,...) and you'll see a BIG difference.

I have one , made ROMs for it in the beggining as well. Everything that runs in it runs in the O3D as smooth as, but we all know that a bunch of things that we run on O3D can't run on SGS2. . Not saying it is not good.

Lg support=agree with u 100%
Custom roms= make a good one and post here
Froyo, gb= agree 100% with u, they r too old
Performance=what r u comparing it to? A PC? Quad core device?
Video recording + photo camera= could be better , but it has 3D and it is cool.
Internal storage= microsd card fix it,there is no need for a big internal storage when you can add a microsd
Cm7= why ? I have never used it
Just reminding that I do really understand you and respect your opinion, just don't agree.

Its just disappointing when a lot of us bought the device for the hardware specs and were let down by bad support .. there are a lot of great devs don't get me wrong.. but I could care less about 3d then to show off... I bought it for its ti omap 4 processor.. and its dual channel ram... which isn't even fully optimized...

What is in your opinion a better dualcore phone with 500mb dual memory for this price? ( plus the 3d feature) Oh, and the video recording is in my opinion not as bad as the video recording of other phones...

I had the 3d,now i have a 3d max changed for good opportunity. it works smooth than 3d also with cpu set to 800mhz and stock rom, i have only freeze some ak i don t need. nobody tried the porting of 3dmax rom to normal 3d?
---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------
Anyway i bought a 3d phone not for 3d playback or gaming but for 3d recording and remembering that is only a phone i can say that my recorded 3d video are not so bad when a see im my 3d tv. Than my 3d never hanged or rebooted and works h 24 all the day.
Dude we are talking here about an Android phone. Did you know you can optimize your phone pretty much by rooting it and flashing Custom rom/ modifing the system values ? I´ve made an tread with some options you can check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786151
We have still Ics coming for our Phones, maybe it will improve performance...
Always remember! Crying is not an option.
This was what i had posted in FB when bought the LG O3D
"LG OPTIMUS 3D P920, already rooted, two different ROMS tried out, well, not as good as the Desire S, but 3D!!! slow, laggy, but 3D!!! (Whats Custom roms for, then?) 512MB RAM, but 3D!!! Sad Battery life, but 3D!!! (whats the mini usb cable for?) eyes get screwed up, but still 3D!!! May the 3D tribe increase!!!
3D!!!!!!!"
I am STILL LOVING IT!!!!!!!'

Just wanted to share that MX Player using the Codec for Tegra 2 is able to play videos on ICS Roms. It uses S/W decoding as opposed to H/W because well we don't have hardware acceleration. But the S/W decoding has just as good quality as the H/W decoding. So if you want to watch videos on your ICS Rom you can try Mx Player. I have tested it on PanaroidAndroid build 5 and it works nicely.
How do I find the codec? Max player doesn't even start for me

That's weird are you sure you are using the right codec and on the top right when you open the player is says either s/w or s/w fast and not h/w? Because for me H/W works but it is massively laggy because that needs hardware acceleration but S/W fast work fine.

try panaroidandroid it at least works on that ROM
It also works with Genesis Stable ICS release. I tried it just to see after previous failed attempts on many ROMs but was surprised and excited that it worked.
It worked fine for me on every hell fire release too. I have a feeling the only reason it doesn't work on the egb is because you guys are doing something wrong, or like you said the devs need to talk to hell and the guy that makes paranoid

I heard that they need the drivers from lg for it but I was wondering if there was a way around not using the stock video camera. I love my rooted phone 99%. My only issue is the video camera. If anyone has any info on it I would be thankful.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Well of course there are other video apps out there but the only reason why its not working on ICS is because ICS lacks Video drivers which is needed for the processing of the video. Currently no one can get it as far I know but since a leaked ICS from LG was just found on the O2X it might be possible to get a fully working ICS ported over with the working video drivers. Hope this helps.

There is only one other kernel that we have and its Scotts tester. ICS and JB have Choppy recoding, after GB no one has been able to get the choppy ness away. I think ICS had less choppy but JB+ will probably always be choppy

The source code was not released by Samsung; thus, any modifications with unofficial CM mods will have video cam stuttering at 720p. I cannot recall which forum posts this was discussed, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517092 -- this might have been it??
