Glonass gps support? - Sprint LG Optimus G

Anybody knows if this phone comes with it enabled like the Galaxy S3/Note 2? I know the S4 chip supports it but I keep reading online some manufacturers like HTC and LG disable it. Anyone?

Basically I'm looking to see if this phone has the ability to see the extra Russian satellites. Like this picture, the square ones are glonass. Gps is so great getting locks with the extra sats. Person already has issues with her current phone (gs2) so that's my main reason for checking. If not I guess gs3 it is =(

I owned an s2 before this phone and I can tell you that the Gps in the s2 was crap! The difference in the lock on time between these two phones are night and day.. As far as picking up the extra Russian satellites I'm not sure on.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm just going to go to the Sprint store and downloading gps status on one and see what it pulls. I also need to check the Evo lte since I will be choosing out of these two phones.

Nearly positive it does since it uses the S4 Pro, everything after the S4 should have it built in.

If it's anything like my Note 2 I already know! Those are indeed Russian satellites. I'm already sold on getting her this device just for the fact it's a quadcore plus now it's verified that glonass is enabled. I hope development for this phone picks up asap!

We also need ISIS SIM cards.
I'm in Salt Lake and isis has a list of available retail stores:
http://www.paywithisis.com/where-to-use.xhtml
I'm rooted of course with 4.1.2. This might be worth going back to stock to see if it's any good.
Hopefully I'll have something to update on the 22nd!
my question is, when are the isis ready sims available for the users outside of houston and SLC? do we have to wait until the end of the year to get them?
Hardly seems worth it. I'll wait till this technology gets out of the gimmick stage till I'm in.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Maybe I read one of the articles wrong; but my understanding was if you didn't have a device with NFC, then you would need the new sim card to take advantage of ISIS. I need to see if I can find that article again, but that being said, I would never go back to stock to use ISIS.
What I really want is Google Wallet, and not have my carrier dictate to me which mobile wallet I can use.

That's what I heard to the quadcores 16gb ones, which are mainly the international ones, they mentioned that there were no claims for ones in the US.
Yes, this is for the International version only. Quit freaking out. If it affected us in any way, you would have seen a million posts about it.

Just got this phone

I literally just got the LG Optimus G and I love this phone. I wish it was more blacked theme but I don't care. This phone is amazingly fast and playing around with the Samsung GS3 and Note 2, they got a bit laggy in the Sprint store.
Only thing I am worried about is battery life (people say it isn't the best) and dropping it...I don't have a case yet. Well just saying I love my Optimus G so far.

And I found something that bugs me about this phone. I can't set the brightness all the way up "due to high temperature" and my phone isn't even hot. I mean...I feel the heat but that doesn't bother me. Now overheating scares me about this phone.
And I do miss my epic. I'm trying to transfer music and everything and this is....a pain in the arse.

Cancel your Netflix accounts...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kmc.onechannel.tvshows
That application found in the app store is 100x better.
It has every episode of everything with new episodes updated as soon as an hour before it even airs (for me being on the west coast, things come on earlier on the east coast), situated nicely into an easy to use interface.
There are a few bugs, but they are bearable, and worth the price of $0.

Are those the touch-and-go readers? Does the Google Wallet application just emulate a card for you? Does it matter if it has the wallet logo?
Never use it
Didn't have the Google wallet logo. I assume it was just touch and go. All I had to do was press credit on the self scan before it would work.
