Optimus G pre order page is up!

Well, for the apparently small number of us that care, you can now pre order the Optimus on sprints website. I just placed an order for mine. Super happy to be ditching my Evo 3D. Now hopefully we can get some people together to crack the boot loader.
I just saw that you can get it for 149 on wire fly with a two year contract but I bought mine full price from Sprint. No contract for me.

just ordered mine from wirefly
are we supposed to be getting the phone on the 10th or 12th?
the 11th falls on a sunday

No idea...hopefully the 10th.

Sprint's site suggests that it should come before the 11th "Pre-order: Order online today! We'll charge your card for your phone and do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Sunday, November 11."
Wirefly says that they are shipping them on November 11.
I'd rather save the $50 and order from Wirefly. What's 3-4 more days when you've waited 2 years?

Where's the white one??

Ordered mine from Sprint today in hopes that I receive it on the 10th, maybe even the 9th...

If LG doesn't unlock the bootloader, will it be hard for devs to unlock it themselves? Considering that i has the same hardware as the Nexus 4.

why get this phone over the GS3 or the GN2??? just curious, the Optimus G don't even come close to the GS3/GN2..

Come close in what? It has a faster processor and arguably better screen along with being a little smaller. Probably a better camera (more mp anyway on the sprint version), more solid build quality... i feel like i'm forgetting something.

you guys are crazy...

Uh yes it is. Every review compares it to the Galaxy S3 and says it is considerably faster, which you can literally see. Also, yes, I do concede that LG has made some bad phones in the past, but so did HTC before the nexus one and Samsung before the Galaxy S (the behold and moment were awful). Reviewers said this could be the rise of LG and I happen to agree. Great looking hardware, great screen, amazing processor, top of the line specs. It doesn't need gimmicky features like sbeam which require people to have the same phone (how many people do you know with an S3? If they don't have one, that feature is moot). Camera, I don't really care about, but reviewers said it is about on par with the One X and GS3. The date for JB isn't exact but they said Q4 and if I remember correctly, lg has been more accurate with their software promises than Samsung, who promised my device Gingerbread in July of last year, but didn't even roll it out until November. Smemo, who cares? And the Optimus has a very similar feature, I forget the name of it, but they've shown how in many situations, like in a call, you can press a button and write down a phone number or address for example. Multitasking is more or less the same. The recent apps UI is the same, unlike HTC's, and it also has Qslide, which is similar to pop up play, but you can adjust the transparency and opacity with a slider so you can decide which window you want to be able to see more clearly. No microsd is a bummer, but so is pentile and terrible cheap plastic build quality.

Whoever gets their tracking number first should post the date of expected delivery so the rest of us know ASAP! I feel like a kid at Christmas, but in all fairness I've grown tired of getting my Epic refurb'ed and it has become very unstable and constantly reboots itself.(Gets worse after every hard reset so no fixing it =/)

An interesting trade

Ok, I need a couple of opinions on what to do ... Just an hour ago I've recieved an intruiging offer ... To trade my GNexus for a LG Optimus G ... My GNexus is really in a mint condition, from the day I bought it it had an SGP Case + screen protectors, so no visible scratches on it ... And today a guy offers me a brand new, unopened Optimus G in trade for my GNexus ( which, by the way, has a decent amount of accessories - extended battery - regular battery - 2 back covers - 5 screen protectors - 2 SGP Cases ) + 120 $ ... I mean, I have to pay additional 120 $, not the other guy I wasn't really planning to buy another phone ( YET ) ... Atleast for another 10 - 12 months ... But he made such a good offer I don't really have much time to play with my GNexus lately, since I got a new job ... So what'cha think folks? Trade or not?

Check out the optimus forum and get a feel for the community and check the q&a section for common problems and general section to see how complicated it is to root and what not.

As I said, don't have much free time lately ... So don't know IF I will root it at all ... Maybe a bit later, wanted to hear thoughts of the GNexus community first

this is a pretty good deal. its a much more powerful phone, it Should have Jellybean Fairly soon, build quality is really nice, and screen is amazing. the UI is a little "meh" but the bad part (launcher) can be covered up fairly easily. but you just have to ask yourself what is more important to you....quick updates with new features about 2 times a year, or powerful hardware that will probably not get past 4.1.1

I was rather waiting on a new Nexus device, or perhaps for the Phone X ... So I would switch my phone anyway in about a year or so ... And what's crossing my mind is the fact that I'd probably sell Optimus G for more cash then I would sell the GNexus in a period of 1 year ...

So you have time to read our comments but not to take less than a minute to look in the Optimus G section? Seems legit.

Actually I did read about the Optimus G, not really much of a dev support there, no need to flame right away mate ...
What I'm looking here, are opinions weather some1 else would accept the same trade ... If yes, why - if not, why again?

there is a reason why he makes such a offer.

i think the older devices were pretty poor. but i really haven't heard anything bad about the Optimus G. the build quality, and screen are great.....the OS is "Meh" but how bad can ICS or JB really be on a device with a quad core processor and 2GB ram? probably not that bad.

Wonder how the OGP selling

I think this is a great phone but I wonder how the sales are going so far? I hope LG isn't about to do like dell did with the streak. No advertising, No promotion, just kinda let it be a silent option. It would be a shame this really could be a best seller if they did like Samsung and let people know about it.

Yep I have to agree. If LG drops the ball then this will be my last LG phone. Why make a great product then not tell the world about it? That's a great way to fail.
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda premium

im about to switch to this phone from an LG Revolution which never took off... After playing with the Gpro and a note 2 side by side I definitely have settled on this device! I sincerely hope however support for it is better from LG then for the Revolution. My bet is it certainly will be since it is their top of the line device.

I've never seen a commercial from LG for their smartphones. Have seen commercials from carriers promoting the devices,but can't remember one from the manufacturer. Compare that to the Samsung commercials.
They still make nice phones. Hopefully we get an unlocked bootloader and some interesting development.
Given we can now root, freeze apps/debloat, and get things a la the qslide notifications fix, we're doing ok. You can use launchers and other available apps,etc to get some of the other changes you might want.

at&t told me its selling very well. they only had 1 left at the store i bought mine. i think once we get development it will increase to. the phone is much better than any other phone out there.

First time LG buyer here and I am really impressed with this phone. Been with apple since 08

This phone has gotten me curious. It has my dream specs for a phone. Too bad its not available outside the US.

Availability is the key to this question. ATT only in the US was a stupid decision, IMHO, and so far I've only heard of Korea and India. One of the reviews i saw said that the ogpro is not considered a flagship phone by LG. Maybe that's why they're not super hyping it a la GS3 and GS4...

My first LG was the Nexus 4 and I loved the device. Build quality was awesome. The dev community was also the best. I went to this device because I liked the specs compared to my note2 I had. My wife now has it. But im very very very disapointed with no ROMS yet. NO Unlocked bootloader. S4 and HTC already have them.

I considered a GS4 or HTC ONE. Reason I said NO on the HTC ONE was screen size. I would of just kept my Nexus 4. Reason I said NO on the S4 was because they had the GPro in-stock.

I see LG ads for this phones on the sites I go to. And I've also seen AT&T ads for it as well on random sites. They are classing it against the Note 2 in the ads.
I just got mine today and I am already in love with this phone. I did notice some lag when I played beach buggy but then I realized I turned on the cpu control feature and once I switched it off everything was good to go.

I love the phone too. It plays shadowgun dead zone better than the one or the s4. I'm speaking from experience. Its surprising considering the screen size.

I had to take my first one in to exchange it because of a dead pixel. The AT&T people didn't even realize they had it. It should have come out before the s4 or the One to gain any traction.

I love this phone. Left apple for sg3, and this is my first LG phone. Its runs buttery smooth and is as fast as like greased lightning. So far so good!

they probably arnt selling well in the US because LG isnt really concentrating on the us market, thus only 1 carrier for the lgogpro. If anything probably the optimus g2 will have 3-4 carriers this fall

Ya, the Optimus G and the G2 coming later this year are the flagship models. G2 will supposedly use the Snapdragon 800, but then there's this rumor...
http://bgr.com/2013/05/07/sprint-optimus-g-pro-release-date/
Is this a OGPro, slightly redesigned to get around exclusivity? G2? Next Nexus?

Dear LG users, what do you think about the futur OGP developpement???
I'm thinking about switching my DesireZ for this optimus g pro. One of the most complete phone on the market.
But, I'm not so sure about the developpement . Other LG devices aren't the most supported...

Indications are that Sprint is going to get one this quarter LS980 so if that is true then we should hopefully see more accessories come along since it will be on (2) US carriers.

I agree completely. If LG would put a little marketing behind their phones I'm sure they'd sell a little better and thereby get more support from the dev community.
I am coming from a Note 2 and love this phone though I am about to die with not being able to apply a bunch of ROM. (I am really hoping for an advanced kernel to really stretch out the battery life.

I'll add another voice to those concerned about the locked bootloader, and more generally, custom development. If there were a working version of Paranoid 3.15 on the OGP, I'd very quickly be $550 less wealthy.

I just bought this phone... loving it so far even in stock form! Just so powerful ans smooth.

The Nexus 6 has a much worse camera too.
So you felt the need to create a thread on the G4 forum about how your return window was almost up and decided to get a different phone?

The point of my post was that the g4 (verizon version) has been a complete letdown and that I followed this sub forum since getting the phone and the threads with the most comments are the root threads and/or touch screen problems. When I upgraded from the g3 I thought I would be getting a better product. Neither LG or Verizon will acknowledge the issues this version has. That's why I gave up on the phone, maybe it's a downgrade? All I know is that my particular phone sucked ass and it's great to have a phone that at just works.

Although some are being babies about people talking smack about their beloved LG G4, I think this was a valuable post. He will surely help others who are unsure as to go with the G4 or not. If I were looking to buy a phone that was 100% solid, and came across a thread like this saying that someone gave it an honest try and couldn't continue, I would be very thankful.
Personally i've had zero issues with my VS986 and wouldn't trade it for anything. I would however be nervous if I broke it and had to claim insurance on it since there would be a chance that my replacement would have touchscreen issues.
Thanks OP! Enjoy your Nexus 6!

I understand your pains but you should have got a Moto X Pure. Slightly smaller, better specs, and sd card support. Mine will be in in a couple weeks.

Agreed, the Moto X Pure is pretty much better in every way.

So I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm thinking about selling the phone and grabbing the moto x pure. I'm on the edge program. If I sell the phone and pick up the pure, I know I can activate it at Verizon. Do I have to pay off the G4 before activating pure? Or can I just sell the G4, grab the pure, and continue making payments on the G4? Not sure if that would work or not.

Pretty sure whoever you sell it to won't be able to activate it, if it isn't paid off.

From my understanding, you can buy a new phone and/or sell your current one, but if you stop making payments then the person who bought your phone would no longer be able to use it as it's blacklisted.

Yes, this is true you can sell it just don't stop making the payments.

I would be hella pissed if my phone stopped working several months into it because the guy who sold it to me never paid it off. That sounds like a scam right there. I think Swappa even checks IMEI numbers prior to being posted.
My G4 is fantastic. I really have little to no problem with it. It runs great, battery is great, camera is amazing, stable, etc. My Qi Charging sticker WAS causing lockups throughout the night but those magically went away (for no apparent reason). It will occasionally miss taps (which I suspect to be a background process or CPU throttle issue) and the Notification light gets wonky occasionally (blinks when no notifications).
Other than that the G4 is a powerhouse. There are 2 new Nexus phones to be released this year and the LG seems to be a smaller brother to the G4 (SD 808, 2700mAh battery, 5.2" screen) and the Huawei which is rumored to either use their own CPU, SD810, or SD820 (which I doubt). I would be leery of any of the other 2 choices. If you were to get the LG, you would be sacrificing specs for plain Android (like always)

Phones on Verizon edge do NOT show as a financed phone. I know this seems wrong but it's true, I just checked my wife's droid turbo on swappa and it's clear for activation.

Technically Swappa does not allow the sale of a financed device per their listing criteria. However as far as I understand there is no way for them to verify if a phone is on an installment/payment plan.

well, I can only hope that you will like your nexus 6. Don't hate your phone~

I especially liked the iPhone X and LG V30 comparisons about 8 minutes in.
By the way this video is an "extended" version of this Forbes article:
The LG V30 Is As Underrated As The iPhone X Is Overrated
https://www.forbes.com/sites/bensin...ed-as-the-iphone-x-is-overrated/#7c3addc72028
He's just more colorful -- with a some cursing (against obviously biased tech reviewers) -- in the video. So for those who don't have time for 14 minute video, read the article first. If you like it, you can watch the video. Especially towards the end of the video he ably demonstrated how the LG V30 unlocks better, faster than the Samsung Note 8. You can't "show" that in an article.
The main point is he actually has ALL these phones himself and uses them everyday. He's not some dilettante reviewer who just uses an Android phone for a few hours to write an article, then blindly goes back to their iPhone flock with the other iSheep.

I especially liked the iPhone X and LG V30 comparisons about 8 minutes in.
By the way this video is an "extended" version of this Forbes article:
The LG V30 Is As Underrated As The iPhone X Is Overrated

IMHO knock code is the most brilliant innovation by LG, and (surprisingly) it's not available on any other phones, been using it since G3 and can't live without it on a daily driver - it's just so convenient. A little complaint though is starting from lollipop LG has required the code to be at least 6 taps instead of 3.

Knock code was and may still be in the HTC phones if my memory remembers correctly.

AFAIK, they are different. On HTC you can tap the screen twice to wake up the phone then enter the unlock code to unlock it. On LG you can enter the knock code when the screen is off then immediately unlock the phone.

LOL...this video rant is so true. Brooklyn frat bros....Samsung software just as bad as LG's in comparison to Vanilla Android. HA HA HA. also the apple fanboy comment. HA HA
YES, so true.

It's hilarious because I blew my JUMP and down payment on the V30 to get the V30+ because I wanted a black one. Now I use a case to cover it 99.9% of the time.
I still think double the storage and headphones were worth it though.
I just think next time I need to be patient. If I'd waited one month, I'd have gotten the one I wanted originally.

Double storage is great. That's part of the reason I stopped waiting on the unlocked. I'll keep this 30+ though as it's the free one, so I'd rather have the black one since I'm keeping it. If I had planned on jumping one I had through jump, color wouldn't matter too much though. The good thing on my end, when I jump my other, I still have a whole set of accessories that was never used. I have so many USB C cables now just from the s8 and s8+'s I've jumped and BOGO'D. ??

My wife s getting the V30 unlocked I ordered, after the v30+ unlocked is released. I'll mess with it some...
But I had to buy one by December 2, to qualify for the $400 gift card. And all that's available of the 64GB unlocked version. Now if LG will just release the LG V30+ US998 in the next month.

If root and whatnot gets devs onboard and the price drops cheap enough, I may grab a V30+ unlocked version. This one is doing pretty good though. I only really need 1 app that requires root and I can run that on my S3.
It would just be nice to perform those tasks on the go. ?
