Thoughts? - Sprint LG Optimus G

So, apparently I've used 25gb? It wasn't even two when I got home tonight.

Have you been backing up and flashing? It's probably your backups.

i agree, backups take a crap load of space

It was, wait for it...
THE BACKUPS! Good call(s)

Backups and roms for this device are massive. I was shocked when I downloaded a rom that was 700mb+. I was used to 300 max from my Evo 3d.

Simply unreal. It didn't even come into my mind that it could be the backups.

[Q] Why aren't there any roms?

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.

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.

Traded Note 2 for Sprint LGOG

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.

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.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
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.

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.

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.
R.I.P Samsung Epic 4G, you will be missed.

During school I have like every possible thing turned off. I just text a lot.
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.

Overheating is my problem. But, it rocks otherwise. The problem is battery life. Now that I'm at school, I can't last all day with it. And I just text a lot and minor Internet usage.

There's no reason to have the brightness all the way up. I'm outside alot and I keep it at 63 percent. My battery last all day easily. Especially if I just text and surf. Use Eco mode also

Been waiting on my sd card from amazon that arrived today. I'm trying to hold off rooting until TWRP is ready.
I'm amazed I've lasted this long without rooting, but like others above I'm holding out until I can 'fully experience' the stock software Samsung tossed out there. I didn't want to drop 600+ on a new phone and not at least give the new stuff a try!

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I was under the impression that the only way you could get a bad imei is if the phone was lost or stollen.

Well back when the s3 originally came out we had a bunch of people randomly lose their imei. I would show up as just 0. And there was no efs folder to back up because it no longer contained imei.
