You can abort it and flash the 2.3.5 kdz file by yourself

Getting fed up with this firmware (V21a) now as I'm having more a more problems with it.

While I am not aware of missing any calls or texts, I do not use mobile data often so am not sure if that might be a trigger for that bug. But when I DO try to use mobile data, I usually have to reboot first or it wont work. Bloody annoying when you only notice once on the bus and it takes a large percentage of the journey to reboot the damn thing its so slow at booting.

Its sad when my friend with a single core HTC boots in a few seconds, my Optimus 3D takes up to a few minutes and always has since the upgrade to V21a. The first boot took so long I thought it had crashed. WTF have LG done to this firmware as it was slow to boot on Froyo but its twice as slow on Gingerbread.

Also I just tried to download some free games from T-Mobile and discovered my browser wont let me download, it says I need an SD card which of course I have (well it should use the built-in space anyway). That said, ever since V21a I can no longer go into video recording mode with the target set as SD card, it just force closes, yet I can take photos with the target as SD fine.

Anyway just not I reboot to try and fix the no SD card error when trying to download and now none of my widgets will load. Seriously, WTF is going on with this firmware?

I've had the same experience. GB is half-cooked. Boot time is horrible, almost as bad as a BlackBerry and I keep experiencing slow downs and network disconnection. Add to that that the battery still only lasts half a day and I don't see how anyone can use this as a phone... It's a cool camera though .

Battery is fine as long as you only turn data on when you need it. That is pretty crappy though as these are primarily data consumption devices yet the battery life is insufficient.

That said I could have sworn my N900 lasted a lot longer with data on.

I am starting to think that I would be willing to lose support for the 3D screen now in favor of a ROM that works, but only if I could still take 3D photos/video. Taking 3D photos/video was the only reason I bought this phone over something else, I might just have gone with an Xperia Mini Pro to be honest as I sorely miss a qwerty keyboard and can't think of a anything that NEEDS a dual-core.

The irony is the only things that really need the power are emulators, and they suck due to the lack of full support for Bluetooth profiles (eg keyboards, game controllers, etc).

There are a lot of things I love about the Optimus 3D, but the fact I can't even get key features I need the most (the alarm, mobile data, GPS, record video to my SD card) to work reliably on V21is killing it for me. Please LG bring out a fixed Gingerbread as this version is indeed seriously broken.

[EDIT]

For the record I was able to delete my widgets and put them back again. I wonder if this was a bug in LauncherPro Plus or the Optimus 3D that required this?

It doesn't fix the multitude of other bugs, but at least my phone is usable again while I await LG actually releasing a working firmware.

It also seems its only the official alarm which is broken, just tested an alarm app that seems to work alright.

Mine doesn't, it never wakes up the phone for the alarm to sound - it sounds only when I manually wake up the phone with the power button.

Its odd as I set this up from factory settings recovering just the minimal amount of my old configuration using Titanium. Its doubly odd that a third-part alarm still works as I could understand if all apps were preventing from waking the phone from sleep mode, but just the Alarm app?

is your phone rooted? if yea then you can not update OTA. You can flash kdz file.

I dont know about you but the bootime with my phone on GB is much faster than it was on 2.2
