KERNEL number

---

Can anyone confirm the kernel number for this phone? thanks

2.6.39.4

it's very strange, why LG doesn't use 3.x kernel...
maybe someone should mail to them, will they give a update with new kernel soon or something

@edit oh, i found this in HOX thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1728723
seems like we'll have a 3.1 kernel in 4.0.4 update, hope that LG will do this too

no one confirmed whether we will get 3.1, but lg and my hox uses the same hardware, so you lg guys might get it soon if lg decides to ota

Lg modified their kernel which is probably why they're still on 2.x

The 4XHD can record phonecalls so it definitly has a 'modified' kernel. In this case it's modified by LG themselves to provide for this and maybe other functionality that we aren't even aware off. LG has to patch the new kernel with the same functionality as the 2.x.x kernel first before releasing it to the general public.

Which is probably a reason not to have the latest 3.x-kernel.

Just try it. Call someone, while still in the call go to the apps-menu, start voicerecorder and it'll start recording the call (with a 10 sec beep). The HTC One X can't do this, nor can the xperia U nor can the galaxy S III nor the Galaxy mini (which i tried too this afternoon). Most phones can't even operate the voicerecorder while in a call.

This alone is a unique feature which LG should advertise as a major selling point. I can't understand why they don't.

Nonetheless, I hope the call recording tip is of use.

I tried call recording... didn't work. There was a small pop up that said "cannot record during calls“ :/
