Hi all, for those of you interested, here you are my thoughts and final review on the LG Optimus G.
I do really think this is a very good device with great potentials and some few flaws. The worst negative thing of this device, IMHO of course, it's the time to market, at least here in EU. This device back in November could have been one of the best. Right now it has some very strong competitors, maybe too strong to be on par. Just my two cents.

I have moved from Galaxy Nexus to Optimus G before 8 days. First rooted with motochopper, after that it was unlocked and I have installed TWRP recovery with freegee. Next I installed CM 10.1. Because of some problems with CM10 unofficial, i am now back to stock rom, but rooted, unlocked and with TWRP. First, I am enthusiastic about the phone. Great performance and greater design in my opinion. But the chrome frame around the front - on the left upper edge, the silver coating got cracks! The phone never dropped or something like this. Does anyone have the same problem, that the silver coating of the frame take turns? Actually, I wouldn't like to complain this, however, if this failure is no exception, I must probably resign myself to it.

Wow! That's not nice indeed! :/
No, I didn't experienced it. Do you use any kind of case?!
Yes, I use a belt pocket. And I treat the device like a raw egg and use it with a protective foil on the front and the backside. Now below on the left it also starts with the first tear.

Mhhh....it's the upper left edge the part of the device to touch you when you have the optimus g in your belt pocket and you sit down anywhere...just curious.
Anyway, I haven't read anything like this yet.
No, thats not the case. The damaged edge is free from touching something. Maybe the cause is a kind of tension on the housing. I will further observe this.
Optimus G is one awesome mobile and its worth buyin than sgs3....its performance, display, ram nd design attractd me..... But im worried abt batry backup which is not upto expectation....!!... I testd with some apps like cpu spy which shows my mobile ia not getting into the deep sleep mode.... I duno im the ly one who is facing this problem or some other people too..... I asked the same quest so many tyms but peopl are dumb here.... I juz send mail to lg care nd they helpd me out....

First, I have to say that the battery of my E975 is really great. Best of all android devices I have ever had. But today morning, after two hours in my pocket, there was only about 70 % battery left and the temperature was about 38 degrees. I was wondering and have installed betterbatterystats. There I was able to see two kernel wakelocks that ate all my power: sns_async_ev_wakelock and sns_periodic_wakelock. My search proved the following thread: sns_async_ev and sns_periodic wakelock?. There ist a lot of stuff to read about in the Nexus 4 section. After reading, I disabled all syncs and rebooted the device. Until now, all seems to be normal and I have little battery draining. A few days ago it seems that I have had a draining problem but I have not investigated why. I will observe it the behaviour in the next time. Rom is rooted stock 10D.

Hi People,
as some of you may recall, just a couple of days back i decided to do some flashing with my wife's play. Installed ICS beta & DarkForest add-on.
However, from last night i am not able to find the phone
As luck may have it, the battery was dead too.
There was just a 15 min time frame when the maid was around the house (i know it's wrong to suspect but hell, i've turned the house upside down) when it went missing.
I wanto know is there any way i can trace the phone?
The sim is (or was) still in the phone at that time when the charge ran out...
And of course i have all the original documentation for the IMEI numbers and stuff..
Is there a way i can track the baby down?
Any help is appreciated!
As far as i can recall no technolgy can track a dead phone.
Unless the phone gets turned on...No and even then it's a long shot. What you need to do is install this app via google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb&feature=more_from_developer and if your phone is turned on+connected ot the internet when its connected to the internet + logged into the google account you download plan B with you may just be able to find the phone.... Other than that your only option is to contact the authorities.

Hello everyone. This is Clockworkmod Recovery v6.0.2.8 v1 for Optimus G Pro.
As you all know, it's 2nd-init recovery. That means if your phone bricks, only lgnpst will revive your phone.
First its how-to is same as the first one with small letters on it
1. Install application that I uploaded
2. Open it and Click 2nd-init recovery
3. Click Reboot recovery to see it worked.
As you know, we cannot change boot image. That will brick your phone.
And if you want to reboot recovery by pressing button, reboot it and you will see button flickering. Than you have to click any button. Fast.
That's all. And of course, you have to have your device rooted.
Thanks to: 985hPaKicK(WHO MADE THIS RECOVERY) and wkpark(who found out the way to increase font size, see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30818456&postcount=8)

Are we supposed to get a couple fc once we press reboot recovery? Seems to work great otherwise. I just wanted to make a quick backup before I start removing bloat.

I'd not remove the bloat if I were you. If your phone boot loops, there is no way into recovery. I'd just freeze the apps using titanium or something instead.
To answer your question, I get the force closes as well.

I dunno who created this recovery but until we get a unlocked bootloader theres no way to use this if your softbrick or bootloop. The dev should look into implementing a timeout feature when you reboot your device. The moto phones have this kind of recovery with bootstrap and safestrap. We could use it until we crack this thing.

Yeah ive noticed that. Im debating exchanging mine for a s4. Not sure yet. I have to have at least some kind of aosp or custom rom - kernel.
I'm going to remain patient, but for sure if I don't see any kernels fixing the phone's ability to render live wallpaper without lag I'll be sselling mine and buying the s4 developer edition. That is, as long as it still supports the remote control feature.

Why not just get a regualr s4? Once the bootloader is unlocked you will have aosp. Thats what ill do if i exchange. To be honest ive gone through the lg forums and aside from the nexus 4 these phones dont get much if any love. Shame as this phone is great and has great potiential. Shame i only have a week and 1/2 left to exchange if i have to. I dont see the bootloader being cracked by then.

I have an LG Nitro and there have been quite a few roms (most importantly official CM support) on our forums. I even installed the ubuntu test thingy on mine. But I'll have to admit I do get jealous of some of the other phones who don't just get occasion roms but regular releases of most of them.
welcome to the lg team guy....lolllll when i bought mine last week, one of my motivation was the fact that i"m not such a "flasholic"...so since for now we can root this thing and flash rom (stock rom) with cwm...a debloated rom will follow for sure, i"m positive!!! but dam, compair to sammy on DEV side...its like running in ferrari and fall in "mini" lollll

hi guys,
recently I had to send my phone back to the repair centre 2nd time.
issues:
- very often gps does not get fixed and I need to restart the phone.
- the biggest problem is a Wlan drops. sometimes it is ok for few days but than it starts to drop the wifi and I need to switch it off and on to get it back. It does not matter where I am, I have tried at home, at workplace, at my friends… It started 2-3 weeks ago.
- I have tried to reset everything to factory setting and I even tried to install the newest firmware b111 a few times…
so this time I decided to buy a cheap android meanwhile I am waiting for my phone.
Moto g 4.4 kitkat...16000 antutu (15000 p6)
the gps is so quick. I don't have to wait even 3 sec to get the position. It sees about 20 satellites and my p6 never saw more then about 12...
the gmap position doesn't jumping while I'm traveling...
I am just wondering that are u guys satisfied with the p6 gps?
And of course it hasn't dropped the WiFi in the last 5days...
What do you think? I have a unique faulty item which has not been repaired correctly at first time in the service centre or basically the p6 is not as good as a 100 pounds moto g Motorola...
Well performance might be on par and so on. But the aesthetics and build quality wont come near our P6!

I couldn't agree more, but whenever u have problems like those, the design just doesn't help...:crying:
Agreed, it all depends on what you need. I just take photos and Whatsapp with mine, so it's really great for my use, I could have gotten an S4 but I really liked this design. - I've never used the GPS lol.
Anyhow, for what do you use your device? Maybe I can suggest some handsets.

thx, that is very kind.
you know, to be honest I was falling in love when I saw the phone in a O2 shop and on the same day I bought it without any hesitating.
(I thought I can trust the huawei brand...)
I live in London and whenever I travel I always use gmap with public transport because it shows where I am and how to get there where I want to go.
that is why I need a reliable and quick gps.
and the wifi drops and the front camera issue is just unacceptable...
almost from the beginning I had front camera issue (gallery has stopped error) but the wifi used to be good...
Probably I will buy a moto g as well if the service centre cannot fix these issues with my p6 at 2nd time (they have already tried but the problems still exist)
btw the newest soft is b132 ... why didn't u try that one which is bug free ..
I used the b132 in the last few weeks before I had enough and sent the phone back.
It does not matter which firmware I use the problems are the same...
Sent from my XT1032 using xda app-developers app
Dont tell me you havent tried Emui2.0 +Kitkat yet
But yea with your front camera not working, your device seem to be screwed up and you should get a replacement.
I have not tried the KitKat yet because I did not want to brick it.
Yes, they should offer a replacement but will they?
What can I do if they are gonna write the same as last time? ' problems have been found and a full repair provided' but I will have the same problems?
I asked them what the full repair means: 'they changed something in the phone'

B506 is the kitkat emui 2.0, I still prefer OMNI 4.4.2.
If Pacman 4.4.2 comes out I would prefer it over OMNI.

Hello. I've bought 2 days ago the lg g3 int variant.I've done all the updates and I've gone to v10h. I've searched to find the righ root tool for me but I've been a little confused. Which tool is for my phone? I've. Seen some threads and I have some other questions too.
1. Is bootloader unlocked now?
2. Will I brick my phone if i root it and update from v10h rom to any newer that will be released in the future?
3. Is there any way after rooting my phone to make my screen go even lower in brightness?
4. How do you all see the v10h rom according to battery life?
And finally one statement.. The phone is reaaally slow for the specs it has... :-/ It s my first lg phone and i want your opinion about lg and the updates thry release. Should i hope they make any good updates or should i sell it now to save money because its still new...? All my phones was samsung branded and i really loved them but i changed brand because the style touchwiz etc was pretty the same in all of them. For the galaxy s2 ive had to my latest.. Note 3.

1. No unless you have T-Mobile variant
2. No. There is a possibility that you will lose root, but you can root it again after flashing new version
3. I don't understand this one. You want to go even lower with brightness. Since that doesnt make any sense, i guess your question was aimed at max brightness being lower after rooting the phone. The answer is no, rooting does not affect the brightness settings.
4. It's pretty good for me, I'd say best so far. Using it myself.
It seems to me that you don't rly know what "root" means. To put a simple analogy with Windows OS, it's like this: When you are not rooted you are on a smth like "Guest" account, and when you are rooted you are "Administrator" account. It just gives you more freedom and influence on the system which you may, or may not use.
Just received the 5.1.1 OTA. look at the kernel build date. this thing was cooked up YESTERDAY. device feels a lot snappier!! This is the T-Mobile branded one.

NO, the bootloader is not locked with the 5.1.1 update that was leaked.
Rather, "Factory Reset Protection" (an Android thing - not a Samsung thing!) is now an option, which allows you to lock the bootloader yourself, protecting your device from someone installing a custom recovery, wiping your device and making it their own. It makes the device somewhat less valuable, and therefore (supposedly) less likely to be stolen.

Tmobile. sorry
Okay guys so many people called me fake and I don't blame you..having 5.1.1 even when nexus devices don't have it is kinda suspicious but I need to clarify some things.. New boot loader is not locked like Verizon/ATT phones It's FRP, Factory Reset Protection. This is google's response to Icloud for stolen/lost devices.. I tried to flash twrp and cfroot and freaked out when i got the error about bootloader being locked...Now this doesn't mean Samsung/Tmobile will completely lock bootloaders in the future but we have to wait and see... phone seems to be really smooth and stable , however it looks like the camera needs some work done so I'm 100% this is not the final build and I guess I'm just lucky I got it this morning and be happy that Samsung has a build this stable with 5.1.1 which means official releases are not far.

Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
wow....even faster than the nexus devices (Nexus 5)
Wow...amazeballs!
Nothing on unlocked UK yet, gives me hope though
Anyone else had this yet?
wow..good news..thanks
how is the night clock issue..?
Would you be able to check if the Auto-Brightness setting is fixed (check to see if it stays on Auto-Brightness), and if the Night clock is only lighting up necessary pixels on the AMOLED display? I can't wait for the rollout to hit my T-Mobile Edge! I'm hoping they improved the battery life some more too, it definitely doesn't last long enough.
If this is a prank, I will find you, and I will kill you. Lol
Omg. How does it feel? Battery life, smoothness?
strange that T-Mobile is faster than European Samsung unbranded..no update ATM.. ?
Nice! Hopefully the full file will show up soon so that those of us that are rooted can update.
I got no update. show screen shot.

Link is good. Checked on PA and it works. I think when you click via tapatalk it fails. Some sort of issue with the tapatalk redirect.
