I am considering upgrading my Sprint phone to the LG Optimus G.
Has anyone used this product? Any recommendations?
Would appreciate any advice you may have. Thanks!
JC
I have this phone got it today and love it.

I love this phone! I've had it a few days and have very few issues.
Edit: Okay, I have had a few issues, which are discussed here. But overall, I still love the phone.
It's pretty much amazing. Great build quality, super fast, good battery life, and LG's UI is actually good. Buy an Otterbox for it though

You're in for a huge upgrade. I went from the Atrix to the OG Note. Loved it. Still have my atrix tho. Love that phone.

I'm just wondering why because my first phone was the epic touch and there were roms the first few days after the phone was released.
There will be, most devs are working on the jb kernel issue

Jokers on the og too? Nice!
There is work being done on a stock rooted rom, kernels, and CM 10.1 by various developers, somewhat including myself. Hang out on IRC to get the latest updates. We should have a stock flashable rom hopefully within a week, but there is no knowing for sure, and if there will be any bugs.
I'm confused, isn't there already a stock flashable rooted rom

For the at&t version. The same person who made it just sent me a alpha for the same thing on our devices for me to try. Waiting to download, and will post results after i tell the developer. We have it in an .img form though.

I certainly hope there will be ROMs coming for the Optimus G... I'm split between this and the Galaxy Note II and my contract is up tomorrow. I'm leaning towards the Optimus G because of the IPS display and GSM/HSPA support, but not having community/dev support is an absolute deal breaker.

All I can say is wow. The display is beautiful just amazingly clear and sharp. The S4 Pro Krait is just a work horse. In the last month I did a few trades. S3, Evo lte, iphone 5 and lastly the Note 2. I found a winner and the phone feels great in the hands. Build quality is top notch. Looking forward to jellybean.

i traded in my photon for the G. absolutely loving this thing so far!
Omg note 2 is worth so much more than lgog I hope you got money on top of that trade.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Ya at first I thought amoled screens were the be all, end all. As soon as I saw LGOG I was like wow. Everything is so crisp and colors were natural. Did a lil research on the screen and it turns out that it's 100% RGB accurate. My laptop has IPS and its only 60%ish.

I love this phone. Even bone stock it kicks other phones in the nuts! Rooted or not. Hands down best Android I've owned so far.

As much as I love my LGOG I still think my Note 2 is a far superior phone no matter which way you slice it.
Not to mention the LGOG is very unpopular and people are pretty much giving them away on eBay for under 300 bucks so like someone already mentioned, I hope you got some cash in return for your Note.

Not really sure about that. It's running an outdated chipset, but the only thing going for it is that massive battery.

Outdated? I still get quantum scores equal and sometimes better then the OG. I agree the Qualcomm processor is better then the Tegra 3 but a phone is more than just its chip.
My LG suffers from weak 4g signal. Wifi connection doesn't seem as smooth as with my Note 2. An example is web pages don't load as fast as my Note 2. Lets not even discuss the camera and video playback.
You want to talk about software features? I think not. S-pen? Let me stop there.
LG, nice screen nice chipset. I give it that.

Ok so LG got a nice screen, chipset, but it ain't made of cheap piece of plastic. Doesn't feel premium to me and forget about one handed txting!

What ever chip it has weather its old or new, the thing performs great. I could show you some quantum scores if you want.
Like I said the lg optimus G has a great chip I won't argue that. But unfortunately a great chip doesn't help with a lot of the other Corky stuff my LG does.
They will get it right with the LG Optimus G pro

The note 2 is cool and all and popular but I didn't want a phablet anymore. It was huge and just wanted to get rid of it ASAP even swap I didn't care. Hardware wise the lgog is king of android IMO. Just think of the performance with JB. LG did great with this phone and I'm very pleased I just love the fit in the hands. I'm sure we will see some bug fixes the phone has only been out a minute. BTW the s3 feels fragile in the hand maybe because of the plastics.

I look at it the opposite as you. I feel like Samsung will get it right with the Note 3. The screen is blurry and blue, its made of crap materials, it has an obsolete processor, hugh bezel and a stupid hardware button.

You know that dang button gets on my last nerve lol. Their obsessed with it.

That's all you could really say. I don't think anyone hear, said anything bad about the phones chip.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium HD app
Not sure why you are even comparing the G to the Note 2. The Note 2 is in the Phaglet category and the G is in the Phone category. But, if you do want to compare... the G has better build quality, premium materials, better screen(true rgb and higher pixel count), better processors, better(not bigger or removable) battery and better one handed use. That's a lot of "betters".

I believe you meant" here". And the screenie was an indirect way to say "I'm satisfied with my LGOG, no complaints here." I have nothing negative to say as they're both fine devices in their respective classes.

So, my pal and I have considered swapping phones. He has an Optimus G and I currently have a GS3. Both our phones are little more than a month old.
Any of you regret going with the Optimus instead of the GS3? From a hardware point of view, seems the LG trumps my GS3. Development seems a little low in comparison, but that's not too important to me. Mainly I need to be able to USB tether. Is this an option for me? I know WiFi tether is, but USB?
Thanks for any input, options, etc..I appreciate it.

I have used the S3 before coming to LG OG and trust me you will not regret it. Just go for it! one of the best phones i have ever used. Not gonna change for some time now!
Thanks for the reply! Yeah, hopefully I can get this deal done.

I ditched my OG to get a GS4. Haven't regretted it for a second. The OG isn't a bad phone by any means, but the camera is just wretchedly awful by comparison. The GS4 has a much better screen too. If the camera isn't a big deal to you, though, the OG is still a surprisingly great phone.

I had the lgog the day it came out traded that for a gs3, then iPhone 4s 64gb then have that to my dad. I ended up with an iPhone 5 32gb on release date. I traded his iPhone for a iPhone 5 16gb now our contracts are up and are really getting Annoyed with the spotty coverage. So till December we switch to Verizon. Yea it might be pricey. But you get what you pay.
