LG ICS Major Update Features

Assassin44 · Sep 26, 2012

No Update

When will the update come out! Its 26th September, and I hear nothing about the P990 ICS update, while Samsung is updating their phones (even Galaxy S2) to Jelly Bean. LG thinks they are going to compete with just good hardware (4x HD and Optimus G) with virtually no software support. I had faith in LG, not any more!

We are completely screwed by LG. never again! Where is the update. We have yet to have 1 good stable stock rom!

BS. So many people love to bag the **** out of everything for little to no reason. Most of their roms have been stable for this phone. I have returned to V10c from cyanogenmod (and various others) for it has been much more stable and gives over 1 day extra battery life than any of the third party roms so far.

The stock rom was the worst ever for me in terms of stability... My phone rebooted itself every other day.. But the battery was a little better yeah.

my stock rom was usable but far from perfect, after a couple of weeks i switched to the modaco custom rom which was better. Eventually I switched to CM7 which was a noticeable speed improvement but still not 100% stable. I've never had my phone work properly as it should, it has persistently dropped network coverage for no reason and error's when trying to connect to wifi if left on for a couple of days.

That said i thought over the weekend i'd give tonyp's paranoid build a shot and so far so good, I have some issues with certain apps just closing for no reason but generally my network coverage and wifi has ironed itself out so i'm liking having it again. Looking forward to this "big update" whenever it arrives, it should fix the final few problems i've got and make the o2x what it probably should have been a long time ago

I have to agree. There has been no good stock Rom so far. The froyo roms often had bsods and random reboots. The gingerbread roms were much better, but needed to be rebooted after a few days or else it would be laggy. CM7 is awesome, but i never found a good baseband that worked well with it, and it still had the lag issues. Probably because the drivers lg wrote suck.

I've seen Samsung phones with uptimes over 1000 hours and still smooth. My phone barely reaches 50 hours before it starts lagging. I regret choosing this phone to save some money. It totally was not worth it. I just hope ics makes everything better.

use CM7 with symbiosis kernel..its lag free even after several hours.
for baseband,for me i use Get RIL app....the 218 baseband that comes with temasek ROM also works great even though it says baseband not matching...i use 0725(v10d europe);0823(v21d)

Still no news about this update? I don't think September is going to wait any longer.

Beplexor · Sep 29, 2012

Regardless of time zones (I'm in New Zealand which means it's already the 30th of September here), it looks like LG has once again bombed out on its customers. It's so frustrating; I have no problem with the phone's hardware, but I will make mistakes no longer when I choose my next phone in a few years time. I thought when I upgraded to the O2X I was perfectly fine; million times better in specs compared to my previous Galaxy 3, and a former flagship of LG, meaning it HAD to receive updates early, right?

Nope. Lesson learned: NEVER EVER buy from LG again.

Hi Beplexor, I think the lesson to be learned here is; in this world of smart phones never buy because of hardware specs. Always buy because of software. I bought a Galaxy NEXUS 3 months ago and I love it. The hardware specs are great. But what makes it a fantastic smart phone, is the software. In my case Jelly Bean.

HTC, SONY, ZTE, MOTOROLA, LG et al, are all hardware companies. They are all to varying degrees, clueless when it comes to software. Only a pure NEXUS device, from Google will get the support we expect. Just like Apple. Say what you will about the most valuable company in the world. But, one thing you can't say is, Apple leave their customers waiting over 24 months for a software update they never deliver. LG software sucks, plain and simple.

Lesson learned. Thanks LG. Time to stick my O2X on eBay.

Have fun. Anil

Yet you keep coming back Anil. Just sell it already. If the galaxy nexus wasn't 12 months in to its life I'd get one, as it is I'm holding on for the next nexus and will turn by o2x in to a media player/ remote

Hi everett_psycho, I was waiting to install the ICS update, I thought the handset might be more attractive to a prospective buyer. But now, time to just stick it on eBay. Along with my girlfriends old Transformer TF101, and the 18 month old Mac MINI. See, I'm just a slack b*****d when it comes to sticking stuff on eBay.

I hope you don't have to wait too long for the next NEXUS handset. I'm sure it will be a good one. Just don't wait too long dude, life is unique and short. You will never get those months waiting back. A second hand Galaxy NEXUS, shouldn't be too expensive, if funds are limited.

Either way dude, have fun. Anil

There's speculation this morning it's due this month, this plus the developments in the ics thread and i think I'll cope. I've got the cash ready but after the update fiasco here I'm up for a phone that is just released and guaranteed some updates. Not sure what I'll do if LG get the nexus though

Hi everett_psycho, I've not seen any rumours, but, then again I've not been looking. As long as it's a NEXUS device, it makes no odds who makes it. LG are good at making hardware, so no problems if they do build it for Google.

Fingers crossed the next NEXUS handset is everything you hope it will be.

Have fun. Anil

Current rumour is suggesting it will be launch in October and either be HTC or based on the lg optimus g. Not a bad bit of hardware to use as a base for Google to write vanilla android on if it's true. Would be the only way I would get another lg phone anyway

Confirmed: LG to release the Optimus 4X HD in October, Quad-Core ICS coming to WIND and Videotron

So it's this peachy? the O4X is coming to my part of the work, with ICS. And we're still waiting for an upgrade on the O2X?!

I've heard bad things about LG since the "Chocolate", but i couldn't resist being on of the first with a duel core. And the trouble i put my provider thru to get this phone shipped to me (waited extra 2 weeks for FIDO to find out they sent me a Galaxy Q)

I think i will rethink my provider (Fido is lagging big time behind their big brother, Rogers. They don't even have tablets, and have small variety of phones)

Wow, I just noticed the HTC Desire C from FIDO is 800mhz, and it comes with ICS?

Seems like LG is starting to look a lot like our Montreal cops, they seems to be hard at work out of the publics eye. And when they are out, it's all about the cash grabs....

Hi Rezvonflux, may I ask out of curiosity if Google NEXUS devices are available directly from the Play store in Canada?

Thanks. Anil

Ciao Gumba!

I know your face all too well, i've been to Temesak's topic many times

From what i can see after searching quickly, i didn't notice anything about the device... there's a bunch of themes, LWP's etcs.... but no phone.

PS: Rez is fine
