- froyo gingerbread ics update wind
I actually called LG a few days ago for kicks and the random phone person said the ics update would be out by the end of the month, though im not optimistic at all.
If you're on xda anyway, you shouldnt need to worry about wind being inept.

Actually this information is up to date, i asked them why this phone isn't getting an update he said the was a decision made by LG, he said there is not he can do now and to call tomorrow for details as to why this phone isn't getting an update. IT's a final answer
Edit: I do expect some kind of update as i was promised by both LG and Wind staff before purchase of the phone that i will receive an update, and I don't really want to run a T-mobile baseband on my phone.

REALLY?! wow the WIND G2x is garbage now. I've already begun researching and looking around for a cheap but more improved Android phone like the Nexus. I've given up hope on the G2x
How come? Ive been running the march baseband for a while now and its been working great for me.
All you really need to do is wait for the tmo ics update. Though it screws over anyone who doesnt want to root or install a custom rom.
Running a stock wind rom on the g2x is worse than any rom available. The only thing it has I like is the haptic feedback vibrations haha. All said and done wind is too small and useless to put anything useful out anyways. If their prices weren't so good they would be the worst service provider in Canada by far.
Pin it to Win it.

Yes, WIND's customer service is worse than Rogers, Bell, Telus (ROBELUS). WIND sold the Optimus 2X/P999 as upgradeable which is part of the sale contract because upgradeability was used in advertising the phone and is a consideration in the decision to buy it. If someone can get verifiable documentation from LG that the Optimus2X/P999 that WIND sold is not getting an upgrade, that can be used in small claims court to force WIND to buy back the phone or compensate for its decreased value. As far as their "so good" prices, they really aren't "so good" when the limited coverage area, download speed, crap customer service, etc., are taken into account. When my "special" deal is over and the cost increases by $15/month for the same plan, I am probably going to drop WIND.
LG optimus 2x will not receive ICS at all, LG doesn't want to pay the patent fee. This phone wont get media acceleration or a working custom rom. EVER.
Sources...?
Stop being a baby. Which are the phones that have even received ICS yet? Only the big name ones.
source is LG it self. you don't believe me? call them yourself.
Edit: This has been informed to all LG staff including supervisor.

This is an article I read, and there are other patents for ICS as the LG supervisor said.

Im pretty sure LG has its own patent issues for ICS, and as the supervisor said "LG doesn't want to pay the fee for the old phone", The only Canadian phone being updated to ICS is LG optimus LTE, LG optimus 3d is left for dead too. Not believing? ask LG yourself.
I don't think this is "Written in Stone". LG Canada tweeted just about a month ago that it WOULD be getting ICS in Q3 2012...

And they have never publicly said that there will not be an update yet... Only through the phone/email/etc...

call them yourself they are not going publish information that damages brand name. Once you call/online chat them they will let you know its not coming

Telling everyone to call them yourself is not going to prove anything. MANY have already called or chatted LG and everyone gets a different answer because the LG frontline don't know crap.
I'll believe it when the info coming from the LG frontline is consistent or when an official response gets released.

Also, the Atrix 4G is scheduled to get an ICS upgrade in Q3 2012 (The same time that LG has publicly promised us) and it shares the same Tegra 2 Ventana chipset as us... So there is still hope as other phones with this same chipset are getting ICS.
