Been confirmed. Do not use i9300 method or you will have issues
So I recently had a friend tell me his s3 hasnt been doing very well for him speed and service wise(he has sprint) and I did some digging around on google and some forums to try to help him out.. and the more I researched the more I saw posts about all the issues with the s3... problems with it charging to horrible battery and reception to other things I can't remember now.. and Im here thinking to my self.. man I LOVE THIS DEVICE. On full stock rooted I really have no issues.. my battery lasts reception is ok for me in Miami.. not the best but certainly not bad. I really dont have any problems that would make me want to return the phone. Im curious to know how other users feel about this beast and what some of your experiences are... tips and general experiences are welcome..
Lets hear it

We all love it. Otherwise we wouldn't still own/customize it...
Amazing device I'm runnning stock no problem but rooted with a custom kernel ! It's DOPE! Your friend obviously hasn't had a single-core phone or a blackberry! (jokes) loool!
Is that a serious question
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I think i agree with your friend. The Sprint's S3 does suck. My uncle has a Sprint S3 and it is a bit laggy compared to mine...so maybe its not the phone itself, but the network carrier. So radio/baseband has to be culprit for everything thats weighing the phone down.
I also had the s2 international version that worked flawless (and I flashed the hell out of that thing) but my sprint buddies all had complaints..
I forgot to mention in OP that some of the bad reviews I read also included our tmobile model.. but I am incredibly happy with mine.

I had virgin mobile(Sprint owned prepaid) and service was good in terms of making a call, but data speeds were inconsistent at best. I also had numerous problems with text not going through. I would expect sprint to have at least some of these problems

I too love my T-MO GS3, by far the best Android phone I have ever owned. I live in Miami and I get regular speeds of 15mps to 18mps. I have rooted, flashed, themed(international forums) and this phone has given me no problems what so ever.
And remember, most people who have no problens with the phone aren't going to post about it online. Its much easier to find out what went wrong for people because they always come online loking for help!
That silent majority is, I imagine, quite massive considering the millions of these phones that have been sold! That's a lot of happy people going about their lives without ever needing to seach for help!

I really have no issue with the S3 on t-mobile. This is the first Android phone I have with great battery, fast, lot of available memory for the apps to fly,... Great reception and I think I pick up 4G at some places that would be on Edge or 3G when using the S2 or Sensation.

So you change ROMS during the week/weekend? I never thought of doing that - I guess Titanium helps? Sorry. I'm still a slight N00b. I just rooted but am keeping it stock for now. I just Dl'd Titanium but am confused on how to use it. Guess that's for another thread lol.
Is there a way to make sure titanium doesn't restore bad backup data? (I don't use it for this reason. Wanna make sure my ROM stays clean)
The battery lasts all day for the most part. Its so snappy. Love it too!

I was wondering if anyone would consider this over the gs3 since it is coming to Sprint. I have never owned an LG phone, so I am not familiar with their build quality. Do they typically run with a UI overlay like touchwiz?
I would consider it just to try something other than Samsung, even though I love the gs3. I may pass the galaxy s3 to the wife, get this with her upgrade, and trade back if I don't like it.

Nope Samsung supports users with everything they need pretty much. Unlike LG they forgot about their first dual core which was the g2x aka Optimus 2x and never supported it. And when they released GB it was just a half assed version wiped clean. After their poor support for that phone ill never get LG again. They never support their phones. Not even flagships
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Most LG phones typically suck one way or another. Their flagship phone end up having a bunch of problems specs-wise and build-quality wise. Most LG phones break within a year with normal use.
Also, I have a 2 year contract with Sprint. Even if the best phone ever comes out, I can't switch for 2 years...
i might consider that phone the galaxy series wasn't always good the first series vibrant, fascinate, epic had horrible blue screens horrible battery life and they died easily i had five replaced vibrant in a year . Samsung sent me a different model phone .

Damn, I was hoping with these specs to hear something good about lg and that this this would be something to consider, but a lot of negative feelings towards LG phones. Maybe we will get the note 2 and that will be a better phone to try out.

My gf lg g2x was a nightmare, even rooted. I'll never buy lg again either. They justwwiped their hands of it too.
I just got rid of a POS LG Optimus T.... I will never get another LG phone unless its the old CDMA flip phones.
Buying an lg phone is like meeting a gorgeous chick at a bar, taking her home all excited and all, then taking her clothes off to realize it isn't what you've bargained for. Then, spend the next year in therapy.

My dad had the LG Optimus S and it had an internal storage glitch that forced him to factory reset the phone to use the phone.
That's an entry level phone but I think it's sad that LG didn't show any support for him (nor did Sprint, for that matter...)
Every lg phone sprint carries is crap. New optimus is full of issues, just like the kls one. Viper, joke. Lg kept saying that even though it was released with 2.3, 4.0 is around the corner. Not a single update. Sad, other than display, device was pretty solid. I also was one of the ones with g2x. Loved build quality, but antenna issues and software made me want to throw it against the wall, even rooted it had so many issues.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I'd buy it. My gf has a viper. Dirt cheap not tip top but the thing is rock solid and yes built well not so much as one issue.
I think LG is gonna improve and with the krait s4 I think most of the truly bad choices for chips they could throw in are off the table.

I wouldn't touch it right now based on my history of having issues with LG phones and also all of the other complaints about LG. Plus I'm happier than a pig in **** with my S3. However, if it does come as that article states, I think we can all agree that the ante has been upped bigtime with the quad core, camera, etc so that just means that HTC and Sammy will be upping their game even more so when our contracts are up there will be even bigger and better toys out there to choose from.

Just saw this online. To be fair, this is probably 1M worldwide, but the phone has not yet been released in China or Europe, and that is still a not insignificant amount of handsets in the quarter or so since the release date. If they keep bringing premium handsets like the OG to market LG could easily knock HTC or Motorola out of their spot in the Android Ecosystem. Samsung is likely not to be moved from it's spot any time soon, but it's impressive for a company that the average consumer doesn't even consider when thinking of an Android phone. Maybe they should buy some airtime and run some commercials :silly:
I'm sure LG can make a mark on the smartphone market especially after this phone. When I first got my epic 4g, Samsung had a crap reputation in both their software and their updates. This was a time when HTC was the big player. On top of that, they now got the most active community, something else HTC had. If Samsung can rise out from the bottom like that, anyone can, they just gotta play their cards right.
Man time sure flies, I had that phone for 2 years and I chose the underdog again, lol.

I knew so many people who got the Optimus S.
It was free and a great phone. We had so much support for that little thing. I remember we even had ICS when we barely got GB from LG.
They took forever to release it and it was very buggy. So they had to release a downgrade back to Froyo.
I loved it and still working for my brother. 2+ years.
Now with the OG this phone is a beast. I almost never get a lag and games play well. I love the fact that it has 2GB ram so I could truely multitask. So if more people see why we got this phone than LG may put more support and even more people will like it, etc

Also had the epic. They have had one of the best development communities around. Hope this phone will get the same support. This phone is awesome if they can fix the signal issues.

Yeah the Epic development was slow at first as well. We didn't get CM7 going til slightly before CM9 due to lack of source.
I actually think by lowering the price of this phone will be good for getting more units to users hands and in turn will create more developing.
I've been watching Ebay this past weekend and it seems unreal that one could land such a great phone like our OG for around $325.
It wouldn't be long before people realize how much more of a bargain it is to just pick up this phone over anything Sprint currently has to offer.

Not trolling here in any way, cos I love LG and been a fan of LG since the G2X. I have had many LG phones...I've prolly had all of their high end phones since the G2X. (LGOG E970 & LS970, N4, LGO4XHD...) But for you to say that HTC sucks, I have to disagree... HTC One has the best s/w support (first phone other than the N4 to receive 4.3), best dev support, best build quality, but prolly not the best camera anymore now that the G2 is out...basically all I'm trying to say is that, the HTC One isn't a sucky phone as you make it out to be. Although, I might pick up the G2 as well once its out...
