then what, everything goes poof or you have to pay?
i've used Box in the past on my tablet. they give you several gigs of storage, but then they only allow you to upload a max file of like 90-100mb.. is there a limit with dropbox?

No limit to it as far as I know. Ive done files as big as 2gb at a time.
And for anyone on att/verizon who's lookin to get it Ive included an attachment. not my work but dont remember where i found it. will work on any phone. Unlink any accounts from dropbox prior to flashing. Worked back when I used it, Imagine it still does

Well I work for sprint and to get the 48gb you have to go to the website and do free space. you have to complete 5 out of 7 to get the 48gb then its only good for two year after the two years you still have the 50gb but can only upload and download up to 2gb . The 48gb will be there but can't do nothing with it . Its just free space .almost like dead weight . So as long as its not over 2gb you could download anything from that 48gb .. hope you understand .. for more info go to the website under q&a .. there's more answers .. have fun with the 50gb .

Not the same hardware??

I keep seeing everyone claim that the hardware is the same between the att and rogers version, yet my att glide only has 724mb ram... am I the only one that noticed we have less ram, or did I get screwed???
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app

Oh, interesting... on my AT&T Glide MemTotal in meminfo is only 739988KB. What's going on here...
Let's get a survey on this. Everyone, tell me what ROM you're using and which model you have (AT&T or Rogers), what ROM you're running, and what /proc/meminfo reports your MemTotal to be.

Omg! Mine says 723 mb! At&t ripped me off, I'm supposed to get 724 mb according to darkendvoid88. /sarcasm.
The phones are mass produced and they have the same hardware. If you don't believe this, get a tmobile sim card and put it in your phone. It's the same one, regardless of carrier

Came here to say this

Well I mean when I check the system stats on other hardware in our store I see the actual advertised ram, so either AT&T is lying or the SIII on sprint comes with extra ram to accommodate the system. When run the LMK through the task manager on stock rom it still averages 2-300 use so I assumed that was the system reserved. Absolute stock rom 2.3.6.

I believe some is VRAM and some for ROM.

I have a rodgers and it also says 724mb ram

This was a decision for me as well. Sdcard and battery killed it for me. I get great battery life with the s3 yet am still getting more batteries. I gsme or 2 can really empty a battery.
Sd, I look at it like this. 2 years ago I got an 8gb card. Never thought I would fill it up as I had hardly filled the 4gb before it. Now I have a 16 card along with my internal and they're starting to fill. Few games and backups will take a ton of space.

I'd say do it, you will never know whats wrong with a phone unless you try it. and at the end of the day you can just post the phone on craigslist and put trade for an s3 or note 2. can always go back. I'm actually looking for the same phone as you are offered.

Boot loader unlock is in the works.. Not sure on progress, but theres a few XDA devs working on this for the Optimus G. Specs aren't bad. But biggest turn off as mentioned is difficult to remove battery (3 screws on back plate, 2 on battery.. PITA to remove) and no SD expansion slot. I use my SD quite a bit due to flashing roms and things like that, so it's a deal breaker on this end.

Phone seems interesting. Quad core s4 right. I know its an lg. But let's not all forget the epic 4g when it was an Samsung and there was no support

I think with LG making the newest Nexus device this phone will get good support for updates considering its pretty much the same phone. Samsung used to be horrible with updates before the Galaxy Nexus so hopefully this helps LG along their way also. Seems like a great phone I wouldn't think you would be disappointed with a S3 or the Optimus G.

there's a thread dedicated to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1884701

Optimus G Pro lag?

I really hate to start a lag thread, but I am curious if others are experiencing this or if my phone is subpar component wise.
In initially playing with the phone, it was immediately snappy feeling. Everything ran great without stutters or lag input. Then about half way through the first day with it (the 12th of may) I noticed about a 30 fps drop when doing anything. It lasted for maybe 30 seconds the first time. Then I started paying attention and noticed it would do this up to a few times an hour at completely random times. It doesn't matter if I'm in the Web browser or scrolling through home screens (though I tend to see it more often there) I get the random lag.
The rest of the time the phone is extremely satisfying but I can't help feel like this Has to be fixed if it is indeed a software issue.
What I would like is some input from OG Pro owners, both root and non root, to determine if the issue is based on that factor and how widespread the issue is. My first guess is that the cpu is lowering its clock speed and turning off cores at inappropriate times due to kernel settings. My fear is that my hardware is lame and I need to know so I can rma the phone. My absolute worst fear is that this is a software glitch that won't get ironed out because of our locked bootloader and/or slow LG updates.
Please let me know your experiences or if you have something different.

I've tried to make this phone lag by haveing qslide apps open and switching between landscape and portrait and barely got a stutter. I rooted this morning and restored all my apps using titanium backup and with 262 apps installed I havent dropped below 350mb ram free and there is only a touch of lag when apps first open, buttery smooth after that, and this is with quad core control on. It definately sounds like u got a defective device.

Picked mine up like 10am friday morning ive been putting this thing through its paces and the only time its really lagged for me is with the quickmemo overlay on with qslide apps running. Gaming, streaming, and multitasking have all been flawless.

Well, it's starting to look like I'm going to exchange it tomorrow then. I've already factory reset it twice now so it's nothing I've done. Especially since I noticed it before I even installed any apps.
This is the first time I've ever swapped a phone because of lag though. I guess maybe the processor or gpu is just acting up?

Before you return it do some more testing. In all honestly it sounds line you have a memory leak. Start freezing apps one by one until the lagging stops. Once the lagging stops restore all your apps except for your last one you froze. Then you know what app has the memory leak

As a further note, my free ram is usually around 350 - 500 mb. Is this what others are seeing and if I had a memory leak bad enough to cause lag wouldn't I have less ram available? Thanks again guys. I'm no noob but this is the first time I've experienced lag on a brand new phone that no one else was experiencing.

I don't have a pro but for a phone with 2gb of ram 300mb is low but not lie enough to worry. Android is based off of Linux n the more things in the ram is better unlike on Windows when you want as much ram as possible free.
A memory leak doesn't necessarily mean its going to eat up all your ram. There's a front side bus that controls the speed of the RAM. If the fsb is clogged up it's like driving threw a traffic jam on the highway.

That makes perfect sense. I've got way too many apps to freeze them one by one. The problem crops up a few times an hour so it could take me days of constant freezing to solve it. I'll factory restore and leave all apps off. If the issue persists after a reset then I'll try lgnpst then an exchange.
Thanks again for the help.

If you don't experience lag with out your apps installed then you know its one of your apps causing the lag. If the lag is present without your apps start freezing system apps. If it is indeed caused by a memory leak then getting a new phone ain't gonna solve the issue.

It could also be something going rogue and using up all ur cpu time try using watchdog itll let u know if an app is using large percentages of ur cpu unnecessarily.

That's probably most likely fake I mean come on it only has 1.5GB of Ram? Odd much? And to top it off only eight gigs of internal which is probably going to leave you with like maybe 1 gig left of actual use highly unlikely that that's the real specs sorry but I'm going to have to go and say FAKE!!!

You still are not Understanding the point the phone might be real however the specs are not even mid tier. They're fake simply because there's no such thing as 1.5GB of RAM no system will do a .5GB.
Not to mention that it only has 8 gigs of internal memory that's going to leave your phone with one possibly two gigs of actual data to even use. There is a reason why most of these phones are now coming with 16 gigs minimum simply because the fact that they use almost 40 percent of the actual data for the phone system.

Well it's extremely retarded move on samsung. It only had 100mAh more than ours which means worse battery life as its powering a bigger screen. Really low internal memory. And 1.5 again what's the point. It's like saying here's our s***** version of the note 2 and S3 combined. With so so similar specs.
