Hey guys just have a question is the lg nitro hd a optimus lte or optimus 4g lte and which is better optimus lte or 4g lte and why is it better?Which has a better screen?Is the optimus true hd lte better than the two? thx for answers.
what carrier, and have you been into a store to see them?
i honestly didn't know there was a difference between the optimus lte and 4g lte (i use it interchangeably)
i thought there was only the p930 (LG Optimus [4G] LTE, Nitro HD), the P935 and the SU6200/640
Edit: as said below me (thanks aaki_rocker for the info) it doesn't matter what phone you get, as long as you get it in the carriers store it should work and you will love it
p930, p935, p936, su640, lu6200 are all the same phones with different bandwidths !
gsm versions are :
p930 - at&t version
p935 - telus version
p936 - european version !
lu6200 and su640 are cdma versions !
only the korean model has nfc !
hardware wise they are all the same phones with different radios and basebands !

The previous posters have already said this, but I just wanted to clarify. These are all the exact same phone. LG is just inconsistent in how they name it in different regions. Same screen, same design, same specs.
I want to upgrade from my S2 to a new phone. I love the Nexus4, BUT, has no SD slot, and you can not even order one.
So, I was thinking on the Optimus G. Now, my question for all of you with the handset is, would you still buy it today?
One important thing for me is "hackability", meaning, I want to run clear/custom roms on it, as I do not like bloatware.
In that regard, the S2 is wonderful, and we already have JB 4.2.1 running very smoothly.
Why I'm interested on the Optimus G? As far as I understand is VERY similar to the Nexus 4, and so I assume it would be easy to have roms ported from it.
So, what are your thoughts?
As for today, thats the best phone on market, but its mid of January already, so a new/better models will come out really soon.
Thanks Tim4, for your response.
Lets forget that a new one would probably come out soon, would you still buy it considering all the I said, specially the hackability request?
Tough to say as there is currently development towards more solid bootloader and rooting options but who knows how it will all pan out. Same goes with roms, there is not a lot yet so who knows.
I am rooted and have frozen/uninstalled the apps that I don't want on the device so for me this is good enough. The phone itself is fantastic and I'm very pleased with it, even without JB. But yes, news phones like s4 and xperia z will give the g a run for it if not beat it outright, but regardless of that this phone is a beast.

Well, to put you in context, I went and bought a Razr MAXX. In brief, very poor roms support, so I sold it after 2 days.
There are too many versions for Optimus G, US has E970, Canadian has 971,973, Korean has their version, also the international version E975 might gonna come out soon. ROM development might takes longer I think. At least we gotta wait until LG release the 4.1.2 JB in order to have more JB ROMs
About the phone. I had the S II too, I loved it. I think Optimus G has even better design, and of course more powerful.
Running great on CM10.1, I believe it will be even better when LG comes out the JB source.
So, if you likes the phone, how it looks, then go for it.

Thanks for your reply.
I want the AT&T version E970, cause it is compatible with my country 3G bands, unless all have the same bands, or are quad band or something, or unless there is a problem with the E970 one.
You coming from the S2, do you think his battery last longer? How much longer? I'm asking cause I realized that the battery is non removable, and I'm always about 2 to 4 hours short on the S2.
Thanks!
The E973 already has a near perfect CyanogenMod 10.1 port, AOKP 4.2.1 build and of course an unlocked boot loader and can be rooted. So I'm pretty happy with this, especially since the big two are already on board. Team Nocturnal is also working on this phone.

Compare to S II, the battery on Optimus G (E971) is a lot longer. For S II, I used to bring 2 extra batteries with me just in case, but now with OG I don't need to bring my extreme battery.
I would say around 30-40% more.
On both stock and CM10.1

Yeah, i would.
The international version of optimus g still didnt appear on market, i believe that the main reason of slow developing.
USA/Korea/Canada/Japan and may be AUS the only countries optimus g available in.
Btw some guy asked LG about the international version, and he was told it definitely will out in Q1

Well, I'm mostly interested on the E970 or E971 versions, as the 3G is compatible with my country, the E973 is not. How is the root/roms/etc on those?
By the way, this table is correct?
LG Optimus G E970
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100
LG Optimus G E971 (Rogers)
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 / 2600
LG Optimus G E973 / LG F180
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100
4G Network LTE ???

What would be the advantage of the international version?
The advantage is more users will use optimus g = more developers will appear here = more custom roms will be available
Make the move bro! I went from the S2 to the AT&T Optimus G, originally i was going to upgrade to the overrated S3 or wait on the S4(but found out rumors saying screen size is 4.99inch which is too big and rocking Exynos Octa Core which i doubt we'd need and delay of how long USA would get a version) But a nice rep from AT&T store recommended the OG, and i have to say is i am blown away with the looks and performance of the device. The only deal breaker is the lack of accessories like an OEM car dock and non-removable but sooner or later everyone will transistion to non removable battery. Yes the LGOG is lacking ROM Dev, but i know that this is a fairly new device, give it a couple weeks to a few months and development will go crazy!
I never looked back, yes the S2 was a slamming device even up to now, but i needed to update and the OG is good enough rocking the first Quad Core CPU with LTE bands
This phone is simply amazing. Screen is beautiful, absolutely no lags on heavy multitasking, good battery, lte.. Even on mostly stock rom, simply the best phone to get into my hands. The screen, man.. The screen And the fluidity.. - - It is a joy to use, still looks like a (sexy, classy, sleek) phone compared to the galaxy note 2's size, exemple.
Did I mention the amazing screen, and the fluidity of animations + browsing?

I like the phone very much, but the lack of root/roms makes me very nervous
I just bought 2 today. They are buy one get one free at sprint.
I'm guessing the pro is coming very soon.
Hi, first thank you all. I come from HTCMania, "Spains` xda. My question is this.
In Spain we use GSM networks and wanted to know if all lg optimus g ,ls970 especially, comes with sim slot and if I could use here. I have read some of the gsm mod for ls970 but do not understand why, because it have sim slot
So if I unlock the phone and flash to european open rom it must be work?
Sorry for my english 50% google translator
Ls970 is for sprint carrier in us. In europe we have e975.
Sent from LG E975 pwd by CM 10.1
ok i know that, but if i buy ls970 and i unlock, it going to be functional in spain with our gsm?
Not so sure. What carrier are we talking about?Europe uses mostly 2600 mhz on LTE, sprint has 1900.So ,for start you will not be able to use 4G.
But why not get the E975?
Sprint Is CDMA. It's not going to work

Hello all,
I've been using LG Optimus G E975 for a year now. :highfive:
I bought the phone for the sole reason that it was the world's first first quad-core phone with in-built LTE connectivity.
But here in the Indian version, the phone only supports HSPA and a maximum DL speed of 42 Mbps. :crying:
I've read on Nexus 4 forums on how they have managed to unlock the LTE connectivity on the LG Nexus 4 E960.
Since the two phones have exact same hardware, is it possible to do the same on the E975?
Also, is there any custom ROM out there which supports LTE Connectivity for the LG E975?
Please let me know if there is a feasible solution, as I'm not that good at developer level stuff like 'build.prop'.. :crying:
No... LTE is market Dependent and it won't wrk....
