I bought an Lg Optimus G E971 to tide me over til my nexus 4 showed up. It's here now but I don't see any reason to unpack / use it except for the fact there is huge dev support for it. Think we're going to get anything for the Optimus?

Sorry, coming from the world of Samsung devices where the development forums are MASSIVE this seems kind of weak.
Optimus G is not just a pretty rare device, but unavailable in half world for sale yet.
I guess I'll kick in my dev skills into high gear with this phone. Love everything about this phone and plan on keeping it for a while

The phone's been out for 2 months.. Or a month. Don't remember. But coming from the Nexus 4 forums and SGS (2) forums, this is quite a disappointment. I think it's due to the fact that LG's reputation isn't that good, and a lot of people are overlooking this phone because it's simply not as popular as the SGS3.
Probably a lot of truth to that statement.. shame too because as someone who used several of the more popular phones I truly find the LGOG to be the best of the bunch.
Either way I feel like this phone is more than worth the wait for different development..
I could lay on a hand on it but i don't have optimus g.
I bought my HOX instead LGOG because there's no official set over malaysia and i needed a daily driver.
As now LGOG is able to be unlocked bootloader and already have cwm.
I can contribute porting CM10.1 (4.2) and some other's work.
Just require some details as for sure.
-system partition info
-a copy of stock boot.img
-can it be restore via kdz?
-some tester that not afraid to brick their device
I hope to help.Such a beast but lack of dev is just a weird thing over here.
Maybe it's quite rare and hard to get over other's country such as M'sia.
If community can get dev a phone that will be lovable but work come first.
Cheers

Hey thanks for your help, CM10.1 dev has already begun in the development forums. Mostly everything works except for capacitive buttons, wifi and nfc.
If you can discuss with that team you might be able to find what you're looking for. I can get you partition information though I'm just wondering HOW to do that. I can also upload stock boot.img and yes it can be restored via KDZ.

I think that this device is not very widely available at present so development will initially be slow. Having just searched eBay i managed to find one device for just under £500, i paid £420 2 weeks ago off eBay. I think the device release will be very limited and dont think it wil hit UK shores at all. The people who have this phone in any flavours shou be grateful and just go with the flow

My guess is that it's just not that popular of a phone. People don't like LG. My friend works at a Telus store and says the entire store hadn't sold a single one.

Not surprised... Everyone wants the SGS3. Plus so many different versions doesn't help either. I'm having trouble trying to sell one on Kijiji for $400...
I looked on kijiji and found maybe yours, maybe another, I'm just wondering why do you want to sell your optimus G ? some battery bug ? Some preference for another phone ? Anyway, 1. I'm on koodo so I need the e973 model, 2. I need to get some money after the holydays before I buy that phone

Finally GNex for Rogers.
Anybody get it yet?
I'm just curious because I don't trust my own carrier at all, they have a tendency to screw things up royally all the time. (last time I bought a phone from them was the HTC Dream) and that was a huge mess with the entire cannot dial 911 with data enabled forcing an entire legal issue and a mandatory patch or suspension of service. Since then I've happily owned a Nexus One (shipped from Google) for the past two wonderful years.
Can anybody confirm that Rogers has not stuck their dirty fingers inside our dear Galaxy Nexus? (no bloatware, no Rogers Logo on boot, etc etc)
also this isn't a deal breaker but I'm just wondering if it's yakju or not.
as long as it is not Rogers Branded at all I'll go pick mine up today =)
THANKS for any info guys
It won't be branded as Rogers. Pure stock. Yakju? Not sure, you can just change it later if you desire.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I've done a lot of searching around the forums to know that yakju or not I can live with it, I know that it should be clean and not branded at all, but it's my life long experience with Rogers that has conditioned me never to assume the best with this company...
yet the reason I stay is because they do provide one of the best services in Toronto. Nothing would make me happier to pay $30 for voice and data with Wind or Mobilicity but truth be told, reliability is more important even if it costs 3 times more...
It doesn't matter if you have yakju or yakjuux.. I am glad you decided you can live with it being either

I would like to know this also. I am getting pretty antsy right now waiting for Rogers to call so I can go pick up my phone.

This might not mean anything but my friend got his from Fido and he said that it has no bloatware from them so perhaps its a sign that Rogers decided to not put anything on there.

Sorry to get off topic, but I've been on Rogers for years (like you, ordered a N1 from google) but my service of late was ****. Dropped called, dropping out of 3g, slow, slow internet and no service while my co-workers were chatting away on their phones. I thought my phone was defective by I looked on howard forums and there's tons of people having issues. Long story short I broke my contract and moved to virgin so I could get the GN right away. The service is SO MUCH BETTER! It was the best $200 I ever spent.
If you've got a good plan with rogers, fair enough, but I assure you, their service is not longer the best.
I've had mine 2 days with rogers..it's awesome.just get volume +, and I hope we get 4.02 soon,bell / virgin started yesterday

I just picked mine up within the last hour and so far everything is sweet.
Just a question i have though, for OTA updates does a popup show in the notification bar or am I suppose to go look manually to see if updates are available on a site or something?
I have same question...i think it notifies if you reboot, or go into"about phone"and click on system updates, and it verifies. Nothing yet, but I hope to get it soon

Where did you see that bell/virgin phones are getting 4.0.2? I haven't seen a single post of this yet.
What radio is the rogers nexus using?
hey , for people who recently bought the ROGERS Galaxy Nexus, can you post what MODEM/BASEBAND version it came with???
I'm curious if its any different from the Bell/Virgin/International ones
And if so, could someone pull the radio for us to flash?
I'm using an international Galaxy Nexus on Rogers and am curious if the Rogers GN radio will benefit
Thanks!

It makes sense.. I mean. It's general discussion and it is about the Nitro HD. Plus, is responding really helping?
Yeah, I decided to move on too...
Now, I'm waiting for Galaxy Note 2. I found that 4.5" screen is too small (but tablet is too big) for me.
Guys, I need your help. What is the actual price for used device in ideal condition (without scratches) I can ask - with two cases and new screen protector?

You'd probably be lucky to get $300 because people are retards and think phones like the iPhone are awesome.

Anyways I just wanted to say thanks to HO!NO! and Andasa (not sure where he went...woulda been a prodigy ) and of course the CM Team (aremcee). I'm moving on from this too. Loved this phone, and will drop in from time to time as my brother is taking this, but I just wanted to say thanks to the awesome XDA community here.
Edit: Just got a galaxy s3. Loving it, but I'm using my nitro for a while.
Whatever happened to HO! NO!?

Let's see, not only is the Nexus a newer phone than the Nitro (Oct 2011 for Nitro, Nov 2011 for Nexus), but it:
1) Actually has stable Jelly Bean from Google
2) Actually can make it through a day of heavy use and still have battery left over
3) Actually has more than 3 person developing for it
4) Runs twice as smoothly as the Nitro, and crashes...well, never.
But since you're on here bashing anyone who criticizes the faults of the Nitro, I guess I shouldn't hold you to too high of a standard either. Nor would I expect you to understand the logic behind why I went with the Nexus and not the One X or SGS3, or why one of my friends, an admin here on XDA, still keeps his Galaxy Nexus as a daily driver despite having an SGS3 and getting free phones to test all the time. But I'll give you a hint: specs alone don't determine the user experience.

Alright, I think the discussions have crossed the line with these last comments. There is no one perfect device for everyone... unless, of course, you are one of the Sheeple who believes everything Apple says. If we're so worried that someone else prefers another phone over what we have chosen ourselves, we may as well be playing for the other team.
Anyway, fun time's over, and as such:

Hello, I bought a used phone from eBay, like the ones on this section, but I want to root it, I'm not sure what would brick this phone, my problem is that when I boot it up, it says it's a US Cellular SCH-R760, same thing with the "about phone" section of the settings.
But, the battery cover says it's a Sprint phone, and taking off the battery reveals a sticker with the model being SPH-D710.
Did somebody root it? I tried using root checker and it said "Negative"
If I were to root it, what phone would I take the files from?
Thank you, and sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Wow... That's a new one. I would try Framaroot so you don't flash the wrong files. Sounds like you got a refurbished phone of some sort, or somebody took the motherboard from the US Cellular and slapped it into a Sprint body. I personally world trust Settings/About Phone over the sticker tho. Which means you'll have to run a converter. Is your phone activated? Do you have a carrier?

You have a us cellular sch-r760. Whoever tou got it from took the motherboard from the uscellular and put it in the sprint version body. I am not sure if flashing files here would hurt the phone. I do know there is a different website for your phone though. Team us cellular has roms and whatnot for your phone. Unsure of the exact web address sorry. Google will help though. Goodluck

The SCH-R760 is the same as the E4GT less the 4G. Thou should be able to glass any E4GT ROMs, AOSP, NOT STOCK? And they should work. You'll have to use Handcent or GoSMS and manually put in your PP APNs in order for MMS to work though.

I fear that is the case already. I am not seeing a lot of movement on the 4.4 ROMs out there, the threads are not that active, and it appears that hardware (GPU) is blocking real progress in allowing 4.4 to be stable on the GNex. I rolled back to CM 10.1.3 which has been rock-stable with good battery life and strong signal for now, and am under contract until June before I can upgrade without penalty.

Point taken, but my comment wasn't about patience, it was about volume. The traffic just appears to be less than in the heady days of JB, for instance. Fewer posts IMHO means more people moving to other devices. I hope I'm wrong!

While KitKat is said to be able to run on lower-spec devices, this doesn't mean every phone ever made will begin to receive updates, nexus or otherwise. Will the HTC Hero receive KitKat? What about the Evo 4G? It has 512mb ram, and should run it just fine. This update was created to get rid of Gingerbread from the entry level devices being sold in developing countries.
Hey Guys..I`m very confused...

I have another favor to ask..I have choose one of these models to buy..Can you guys give me a recommendation on this
These are my choices
LG Optimus G Pro(Used) (300$)
Samsung Galaxy S3(Used) (240$)
Xperia V (300$)
None of your images are working, reupload them. Also, it's usually the best-sellers that are counterfeited the most. Luckily, our OGPro is not that much in demand so I doubt it's a fake one but reupload your images so I can give a better opinion.
Out of the three phones you have listed, I would recommend LG Optimus G Pro(Used) (300$) for sheer value for money. It's a very fast phone with great battery life on stock.
Anyone..?

Yep, I'd say go for it. I just compared the photos to my set, a F240L. The GPro in the pics looks genuine. As I wrote earlier, I doubt you'd run into replicas of the GPro. The various models are for different markets with Korean F240 having an antenna (visible in the last photo).
Remember, you might have some annoyances like roaming reminders and SMS character limits on the stock F240 ROM. I installed G2 V5 ROM on mine and the phone's perfect now. Feel free to ask for help later when you get the phone.
Try to see if the seller is offering the spare battery with dock charger that the Korean GPros shipped with. You might offer him $15 extra for that. That would really sweeten the deal.

Thank you very much
the price i have stated is only for the phone.He said this is F240K..so its true then right..
If i have to pay another 15$ or so for the rest it would still be a good deal right?
Since you are the only one replied to my question while thanking you very much for that im also asking about this..
How is the software,developer support ?Any kitkat roms?
Are there any good roms(like cynogenmod) for this version?

About the battery, It's highly likely he doesn't have a spare to give. I got one with mine and it's very convenient to swap them out when on the road. So yes, if he says he can provide a spare original lg battery with a charger, then it's a good deal even with the extra $15.
There is a decent number of kitkat roms available but the custom ones have a few glitches. I just went with the G2 V5 and I'm happy with it. It's stock based, 4.1.2 and is very stable. But do not expect major development for the GPro, if that's something that's important to you, a regular stream of updated roms, then I'd suggest you choose a different phone.
Good luck.
