Personal experiences

---

I understand that a few of you have been using the phone. My contract has ended, and I'm really thinking about getting the Optimus 2X. I have read mixed reviews regarding the phone, and really want to hear from trusted XDA users.
So any advantages, disadvantages or verdicts would be really appreciated

Swedroid.se tested the phone a week ago, Swedroid is the biggest swedish community around Android, and its the only site I trust 100%! They said that its the best Android phone ever, they have tested so far.

You can check out the huge test here: http://www.swedroid.se/test-av-lg-optimus-2x/ (Its in Swedish though)

I agree with Hund. Swedroid does the best reviews you can ever see on the internet. They know their job and they test pretty much everything.

I've had the phone for a couple of days, so here are my first impressions:

Battery: I came from a Sony Ericsson X10i and the battery is a great improvement - can't give any stats though, but have pretty much been using the phone non-stop :P

Screen: Awesome screen with nice vibrant colors, good viewing angles and rather fair in sunlight.

OS: Everything is smoooooooth. Except when you change stuff like usb-mode. Then the media-player looks for new transferred media, but that is expected.

HDMI mirroring works like a charm! Great to show off and good when visiting people when you want to watch a movie.

Watched a couple of tv shows on a long busride today. Just standard 350mb .avi files that worked PERFECTLY! Even subs were crystal clear!

Camera - has some bugs with the blurryness, but I haven't really used it yet. Should be solved with a software update at some point.

I think that's about it.. BEST phone I've had so far and everyone I've shown it to was impressed BLING BLING

Hey Muude.

That sound great... thanx for your words...

I'm very exited to be recieving mine soon from Ellos.dk... they are just soooooo slow...

I can't wait to start watching movies via hdmi ;))) Nice!

Ok, th camera bug is a known problem and it seems to be a software problem.

Could someone kindly try to use another camera from the market? Maybe the results are better? Camera360 could be an alternative app.

What about gps ????

Do you use a Taskkiller like ATK or something. If you do stop using it, i had the same problems with those force-closes when using ATK. Also you have to bear in mind that it has stock 2.2.2 and most market place stuff is made for 2.2.1 .


My opinion on the LG 2x: I still can not believe it's from LG those guys really went in the right direction. I've had a BB9700 and a Galaxy S (darkys rom) and this LG really is a piece of work. The build is quite solid when compared to Samsungs Galaxy and the preformance is great. Battery live is about 130 % better then the SGS not 160 % as advertised.

I've experienced super quick gps fix!

This goes for Google Maps, Foursquare and CoPilot Live..

Works flawlessly and extremely fast to get a signal
