The simple fact that we wont have an official 4.04 update blows my mind. Here's why.

This image alone says enough. My benchmark results. My highest results were in the 3,000s.

I know, the phone is more than capable of running ics, and jelly bean. If the nexus s can do it, our phone can do it even better.

Exactly. According to this its more powerful than the galaxy nexus. Which is pretty incredible.

Yeah, oc it to 1.2 to match the nexus, even higher of a score.

I run my phone at 1.4 Ghz, 1.55 Ghz capable.
@1.55 Ghz - 365 MFLOPS in StabilityTest, I have yet to run Quadrant tho.
It really does keep up with the newer phones.

The only thing the Galaxy Nexus really has over the G2x is the amount of RAM...
G2x RAPES the Nexus in 3D graphics/gaming... The Nexus is even more bogged down cause of it's higher resolution.

This tread is depressing. The superior performance was the reason i bought this phone, i mean the damn thing beats out my tablet ( AND EVEN THAT HAS ICS!!!). why cant these companies release at least the source for these phone after they have died?

It's nothing with performance issues, it's based on the fact T-Mobile EOL'd the phone so they don't want to pay to get g2x
but if you ask them they will say it's on LG
If you ask LG they will say it's on t-mobile.

Its not just T-Mobile and LG here, nVidia is playing the worst part here. But, it has been reported by LG that they are doing 'beta development' for the O2x. So maybe, just maybe we'll get ics, unofficially though. :/

Unfortunately, all the power the g2x has cant save it from LG and nvidia's stupidity and ineptness. Its a shame, cause this is a pretty decent phone if you know what you're doing

Nail in the coffen
I have a thread going with a LG rep over at the LG forums. Official word is as follows:
Brian (Official Rep) 4 hours ago
Sorry I've let this thread sit idle so long, but I've been perplexed about why a TMO rep would post what they did and had to escalate this for an appropriate response.
We were surprised and disappointed to hear that a single TMO rep placed all of the blame onto LG. We have brought this to their attention and we were assured they would quickly correct the response.
LG works very closely with each carrier to bring software updates to our phones. It is very much a joint effort and there are multiple layers of testing involved on both sides to determine whether or not the software will provide the best user experience possible.
Based on extensive testing there are no plans to bring ICS to G2x at this time. However, we can expect future LG devices on TMO to have later versions of Android software
Edit: This is in a thread called "can't you please just confirm this already" which was a demand to LG to say yes/no based on TMO saying LG decided not to update the G2x to ICS.

Kobo Arc

I don't know if I'm putting this in the correct place and if I'm wrong, I'm sorry. I haven't seen anyone talking about the new tablet the book company Kobo is about to launch. It seems quite good though? What do you think? http://www.kobo.com/koboarc
sent by me

Yeah it's quite fast, and very cheap.
What is a bugger is that without GPS it won't install a lot of apps from the Google Play Store.
And I hope someone here will root it, so I can make it connect to an ad-hoc Symbian WiFi tether... who knows what the future will bring..

Thanks, dude. Can you post any results of benchmarking apps, please?

Nice finally some activity about the Kobo Arc, I tried a few basic rooting methods but I've never really did that by myself before so I'm not sure how to go about it if anyone can find a root method it would be great! So far I really like the tablet for the price you really can't go wrong and I like to screen better the nexus 7

Wow. Thanks for your replies. There isn't an Arc forum on XDA for me to post right? These thread is in the right place I hope?

No, there aren't forum (or not yet, I mean )

got one sitting in a box wrapped for Christmas. wife won't let me open it:laugh:been trying to get some more info on it on the MobileRead forums which has a Kobo section. for some reason everyone so far is having trouble getting flash to work. afaik flash should still be working on 4.0.4 and i would like to know if it is before i open the box. not fussed about GPS but would like flash working as i use apps like TVCatchup

I just read that the UX lead for Kobo has confirmed no OTG source
now I'm on the fence about getting it

It's still running 4.0.4. Wasn't otg not enabled on a number of devices with jelly bean

I don't think the android version affects whether otg is supported on a certain device. It depends on the hardware and software capabilities

I was given an Arc for Christmas. Nice piece of kit.
We will probably need more than 20 posts before getting a dedicated forum
For everyone else, I am also (half ass'd) working on a root for it...When time permits.

I right away installed go launcher for tablets and got rid of the stock "tapiture" or whatever they call it. Much more usable as a tablet now
Sent from my XT925 using xda app-developers app

Port our device to some nice third party firmware! I'd love to see CM10 running on our Arc. (I work for Kobo :3)
I do know our programmers are working on a 4.1 update sometime in January though. And yes, installing a launcher to disable tapestries and the discover bar really does make it a beautiful tablet. I personally use ADW launcher on all of my Android devices though. Looks great and it's quite fast.

Sony PlayStation Mobile - Soon Release

So Sony is releasing an app called PlayStation Mobile. It is currently available on Sony's website HERE for download. It will soon be officially released for the HTC One family (X and S mentioned for sure) soon. Our device (the whole HTC One lineup) (and other select few Android devices) is going to be officially supported meaning we will be "PlayStation Certified" (Sony's words).

So far, just indie games are mentioned. Games that are seen on the PS Vita. Games are $1 - 5 (stupid?). Here is a link with some info:
http://news.yahoo.com/playstation-mobile-launches-android-vita-30-titles-213100086.html
Does this look good? Anyone plan on paying for these games once this service is released? It was just recently announced, thought I'd give it a share since our device is soon to be officially supported. Is this a new big thing or just a flop?

Don't understand this post. It's already live. Install the apk and enjoy. Am i missing something.

Read the articles... Sony is working with HTC to make the One series 'PlayStation Certified'. That's the main deal of this thread.
The idea is: does this mean anything or is it just **** Sony is introducing to get more cash? Or are these games actually console-like quality or just mobile rip-offs.

It's because its not officially released for us yet, check the device list it says details will be announced later, there's a flashable on xda android apps section and androidpolice for the certification and it works I already downloaded and tried a game, it will get better as time goes and the onscreen controller is cool

CPU-Z details from the Moto X leaked, every spec about the device known* +SCREEN SIZE

It ranks next to Snapdragon 600s strangly enough. I like the boot animation personally....

Rogers Wireless made a video about the Moto X's voice command controls, and somehow it leaked! And the method for quick camera access

Apparently these screenshots were taken by "some dude" on an AT&T Moto X, to a friend, who then sent them to Brian Klug, a senior editor for Anandtech.
Here are the screenshots:
The phone probably has a Snapdragon 600! Or something similar, because I don't honestly think an S4 Pro could perform that well. Maybe Moto's baked something special just for us!
This will be updated as soon as I obtain new information to add

Chrome was already opened recently. It wasn't a cold start; it appears exactly the same way on my Oppo Find 5 and HTC One if I have the tab opened recently.

How does CPU-Z actually ID the hardware? Is the CPU specs ID'd by CPU model number or are they placeholders in this case because it is an unreleased phone?

From what I understand, it actually knows the exact hardware. I mean, worst comes worst, you just download cpu-z and try it on your own device to see if it matches up. I wouldn't think they're placeholders

It has the same hardware as the EVO LTE, only more RAM. It's not even a 1080p screen.

An Evo LTE wouldn't benchmark like that. If they've done something special hardware/software wise that's something awesome and will probably keep the costs down.

Did you even see the benchmark numbers? It kills the EVO. Since it is not a 5 inch screen, I don't see why you would need a 1080p screen.

I don't see why not, they really don't have contracts anymore anyway. But if you are saying buy it outright instead of the add to your monthly bill, I'm pretty sure you'd be able to.
I too will probably get it for T-Mobile, more so for Wi-Fi calling unless it's possible to put T-Mobiles Z3 firmware on my Z2 and get it to work

if the verizon rumors are true, ill be getting one. but it needs to be released within 2 months.......

I'll be getting one! From Samsung Galaxy S4.
Hopefully it'll worth the swap.
