I finally gave up on this phone. This phone sucks. I upgraded to the LG Spirit. To all of the Connect users, thr spirit is so much bettet with icecream sandwich. I gurantee you will like it. Phone is $199.99 after rebate.
I said it before and I'll say it again. The connect is/was not worth the $350.00. I regret getting this phone. ��
Ungrateful is what u guys are I like my connect
Those are pretty strong words there sir. I'm plenty grateful, I'm grateful that I wake up every morning, I'm grateful that my children are healthy, I'm grateful I have a good paying job in this eff'd up economy. But when I drop $350 on a phone I expect it to last longer 2hrs without having to charge it, I expect it not to reach a temperature of 140 degrees, I expect that I shouldn't have to tweek the crap outta it so it'll run properly. So forgive me for voicing my unhappiness in my purchase of this device. And I also seriously regret buying this phone, I should've bought the esteem like I planned, at least they have some solid development going on over there where as this device seems to just have some big talkers and devs that are devoted to other projects mainly.
We do appreciate the devs that actually work on the phone. Seriously, this phone has too many problems. I was the first person in GA to have this phone. Since day 1, this phone had overheated, super battery drainer, and you have to tweak it like crazy to even use it normal. I gave this phone a chance to redeem itself but it has been almost a year with no type of progress to ics. If u still love your phone, its cause you don't want to hurt your ego. Upgrade to the spirit n you'll be like "Connect is a joke"Ungrateful is what u guys are I like my connect

Yeah my friend that runs he store said the reason the price is still at $349 is because they are trying to get what they can from it before they knock it off the line-up. I asked if it was for sure being discontinued and he said "yes" so im sure it will be very soon that it will just disappear, now im just thinking about what will be the replacement phone from the insurance:questionmark::questionmark: :hmmmm2:The price for the phone still isn't right. LG connect is $349, for that money you may as well buy the S3 for about $150 more dollars.
LG seems to have failed with the Connect, Lucid, and Viper.
And if LG did make an ICS upgrade, it would have a locked bootloader, which I'm sure you could fix by doing what the spectrum users have done, although the Lucid users are having trouble doing that themselves.
You know you could reflash the firmware for the Connect and Motion?
OTAs from LG seem to screw up everyone while USB updates work perfectly.
Do you know where I can get my hands on ZV8 or ZV9 .cab files??

Spirit = locked bootloader which = no real development is going to happen. If you are lucky some will find/build a bootstrap/2ndinit recovery for it and maybe, maybe CM10 or a few cooked ROMs. If you thought the Connect had sucky development, well you just bought worse in that aspect.
I agree the Connect isnt worth no where near $360, esp with its sucky stock fireware, but it is unlocked and is quite capable of doing more and have a 100x better display than the motion.
The Esteem isnt worth what they want for it either. For $350 you can buy a Nexus. lol
got lucky there at least lol
