if/when ics does come, how long do u think the g2x will stay relevant in the market? Cause it does got blazing specs.Yeah there is gs3 out and all the htc Ones but they just dont seem "quality" products to me. only other thing im considering is the galaxy nexus. I think if ics came out the g2x should be able to last another year or two until google brings out something completely new like key lime pie or kettle corn. If ics does come out then ima wait till the next gen nexus with next gen android is out
Possibly good news from our good friend Paul O'Brien. He says it's definite and even "imminent" for the 2X.

Let's see what the outcome will be.
Didnt we know this already? Isnt there a thread dedicated to this?
Like I said when I posted this link half an hour ago, summer is less than a month away! Though a few bug fixes would be nice before then...
I wonder if the phone will remain "out of stock" until the update?
T-Mobile said. “As with any new device, a small percentage of customers have commented about possible improvements and we are working with LG to deliver a software update, which we expect to offer some performance issues.”

T-Mobile may issue this fix at the same time it rolls out its planned Android Gingerbread update, which the carrier announced will occur sometime before summer.
Summer starts June 21st or something. So "before June 21st".
That's how I read it. Note they didn't say "during" or "over" summer.
this is tmobile we are dealing with and you know how the updates for froyo with the vibrant went. yes i know this is not samsung but you have to think it is tmo and it is possible that they didnt want to release it so i will wait until the end of summer when we will possible get it. so do not come on here on june 21 or whenever the beginning of summer and expect to have gb on your phone that's not how tmobile works.

Yes, but in this case a lot of customers are waiting for an update to make their $500 phones work. T-Mo and LG have some serious incentive to get an update out ASAP.
EDIT: If I have to wait more than a month or so for a basic bug-fix update I may look into a full refund under lemon laws or whatever.

yes that's true it is the companies fault but as you know if lg, htc etc sends tmobile gb with free tethering or something similar then tmobile will most definitely send that version back until the company fixes it or until tmobile can block the feature and they will also have to be able to put their bloatware on the phone so it is tmo fault if say lg releases gb on june 1 and tmobile doesnt get it out until aug because they want to bloat it up with crap.

Oh yeah! you mean the unfinished GB? I can totally see how that's ready for mass production updates. >.> yeah bro. Again I see exaggerated time tables and to much blame put on Carriers. They're the necessary evil don't get be wrong but their involvement is minimal compared to what you all believe, slapping on"non removable" bloatware onto the Software is more simple than you give them credit for. Agreed options like free wifi are obvious rejected versions but that doesn't result in multi month extensions.

I agree. The sensation is one sexy phone. What I hate about HTC phones is their screen. Even though is qhd a super lcd will never show better colors than an ips panel. I love the screen on the g2x. The screens on my evo and g2 were pretty bad
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Ive had the G2x since day one, and Im thinking ... goodbye LG and hello HTC
I cant believe I got fooled into buying a phone by LG.. They spend zero time QAing their code, and we have to pay for that. I should of known better. Ive never had such issues with any other phone (and Ive had plenty of androids), as I do with the stock G2x.
This is when I decided that its time to go back to my beloved HTC and forget about the rest. At least they know how to make phones!
It would be nice to crack up the bootloader and be able to put custom roms, but all I need right now is a dependable phone, and the LG just aint it.
Plus Im sure the bootloader issue wont be an issue soon, looking at all the devs that are working on that phone...
And just to add one more thing - I cant believe that MDJ is working on ROMs for this phone... I remember back in the Hd2 times - that was the best ROM, and I bet its still that way!
Happy to hear im not the only one with a G2X getting ready to sell it on ebay. All the problems this phone have given me are just not tolerable, the constant restarts, loss of signal are nothelping, Given htc might leave this bootloader locked for a while and i do understand why aince htc watch allows you to buy movies which people can then distribute. Anyhow i hope this is released soon or let alone allow preorders.

Yes, don't you love those announcements? "BY the 15th". So for all we know it could be tomorrow (which would be smashing but won't happen. I hope they don't sell out. It's what sucks about relying on others to get the phone for you

Hope its tru but you never know. I got a female tech rep two days ago. She was already usin a Jail broken phone and informed me rooting and flashing a rom to my
g2x was simple and hard to brick. Had been doing reserch now 24 hours later check the signature

Interestingly, when I spoke to an executive at T-Mo on Friday about this he said that they had pushed back the date indefinitely and that he would send me a pre-paid return label to send him the two G2x's that I have for a full refund.
I doubt he would want to buy the phones back from me if an update was right around the corner.
i wont be getting it. I cant even check for updates without it FC
what happens is I go to check for updates, it FC saying something about settings.

ATT definitely needs to get on the bandwagon with the Infuse, my Atrix got Gingerbread pretty quick. Not sure what the big deal is.
I hate to say it guys but get used to it. ATT is terrible with updates. Each phone may get one major update and thats about it. Any of you that have been in the smartphone world for a while will know this. Hell sometimes ATT wont push any updates for a phone at all.
I mean think about it. A phone is termed EOL after 4 months of ATT releasing it.

Samsung or ATT?
We don't know who is holding up the update, do we? It could be either Samsung or ATT. It's so frustrating that Ice Cream Sandwich is supposed to be released within the next few months and Infuse owners don't even have Gingerbread yet.
its the captivate all over again, over emphasis on updates(2.2 works fine for me), and a carrier that doesn't care about updates. why make the infuse their flagship and not push samsung to update it? i mean motorola got the atrix updated and att doesnt push that phone as hard, htc also got the inspire updated, att doesnt give a dan about that phone. but i really think it is samsung who wants to push updates only after a new device is released (sgs2!) and only because they want the new device to look beter the the "old" one
Bottom line here is simple: don't ever buy hardware in anticipation of future software releases (with the exception of a Nexus device). Once the device is sold the manufacturer really has no obligations to ever have anything to do with it again except for warranty services.

Reread the first paragraph, Tyshemi. Ice cream sandwich will be released in Oct/November. Jelly Bean will be released AFTER that, and if you go by Google's usual schedule, it would probably be around February.

All I see is too many phones coming, that the ave user will miss out on, because they are stuck on a 2 year contract, lol not everyone can afford to blow 300 plus every few months on the something new,
Truth be told I have an atrix ( which I love, great little workhorse ) and a infuse coming monday, Also have a droid incredible, and a inspire, and a few others laying around,
But the funny thing they all do the same thing, just some slightly faster than the other, etc.. right now even the droid incredible/nexus 1 still is plenty fast for gingerbread... and does everything those new dual core beasts can do.. for me its gonna boil down to design and the screen, much like when i used to shop for a pc/laptop.. <----hardly use those anymore, too. my 2 year old asus still runs like a champ. guess my point,. is choose what you like. dont get caught up in specs and hype. ..
rant over...

Yeah, comments on someone's facebook post is far from official. LG even referenced a page that contradicts its own statement. I will just chalk this up to a dumb pr rep and forget this ever happened

I don't know why you guys are so pessimistic. They're the same phone, only different partitions. Do you really think they'll release a rom for one phone then say "Eh changing the partition table is too much work even after recreating all these drivers and framework. "?
I mean they could, but I really doubt it.

The problem is t-mobile and not lg. T-mobile has to install there own apps into the rom and do there own beta tests. That cost money which I'm betting t-mobile isn't willing to spend

LG Optimus x2 and G2x are the same phone just different partitions and are in different country's
Let's just encourage LG. With some encouragement they might do better. After all 2.3.4 was a really good update
Sent from my Handheld Portal Device
I seriously doubt they would go through the trouble of releasing 2.3.4 GB and then release ICS same quarter. The rep never stated that ICS would be released 2nd quarter, they said "an update" will be released 2nd quarter. Well, that update is already here and it ain't ICS. With the G2x being end-of-life, we're lucky to have gotten that, not at the fault of LG but because T-Mobile isn't going to dish out extra money for a phone they no longer sell. They want you to buy the new stuff and renew your contract. It is doubtful that an official ICS update will be released for the T-Mobile G2x simply for this fact, though I guess not impossible. Once the O2X gets its update the developers will have all they need for a "complete and stable" ICS ROM. Who here is going to stick with a stock ROM anyway? Not many.
Either way, even if they just release a P990 (O2X) version that's good enough. They release the source code here:
http://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensource.jsp
When it's released, so the dev's can just modify what's needed from the O2X and make it work for the G2X (like they've done with other ROM's), so don't get your knickers in a knot!

That source is absolutely useless and big time incomplete. They have a lot of binaries and other files they intentionally leave out so it will not build.

I'm losing hope...
Old news they've putting that link up for months, I'm thinking since November they've been telling people that.

What about the P999 on Wind? I don't own it, but as far as I know it doesn't have the T-Mobile stuff. If it's available for that you can easily put it on a G2x.
from now on I will know to get a PURE Google phone like the Galaxy Nexus. this way we will receive all updates when they come out.

THIS. This all day.
Some people just know how to word things. What to say, what to leave out.
How to be just vague enough.

OP says ICS update.
Rep says there will be an update.
Rep links to a post about ICS.
I think it's safe to assume they were talking about ICS.

And yet they can never actually say "T-Mobile G2x".
But don't get me wrong, I'm all for an update.
It's just nowadays... I'll believe it when I see it.
I'll believe it when I see some source on my desktop.
