Develop Bugs

Price in europe

Hello,
I want to buy a lg optimus g,
Does anyone know how much the device costs in euros?
And what is your experiences with this phone.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

In the UK it's around £350 off contract, converted to euros it's about 435 euros, more or less. (about $550)
Personally I love this device, awesome screen, great camera capability, lag free (2gb ram obviously helps, along with the quad core 1.5ghz processor), browsing/games/apps are a treat. If you don't mind the huge screen, then this is a very good phone for you. Personally I prefer this over the galaxy note 2... Good luck and enjoy (if you decide to buy it).

Hey Guys
Sorry for OT but im From Europen too, my 'Problem' is i want to buy a new Smartphone in One Month.
I'm not sure what i want to buy
I see Note 2 --> i test this for 3 Weeks / Very good Phone.
Then is there the Optimus G. Very nice one too.
But there is a Test-Video on YouTube (Optimus G vs. Galaxy S3) from Android Authority.
In this Test the Optimus G had an much worse Camera then S3 (Pictures & Videos).
Because of this, im not sure. Without this 'Bug' its better then the Note (Hardware).
Can you confirm this?
Is Camera fast Like Note 2?
Last but not Least: HTC DNA (in Europe ... when it comes ... HTC Deluxe DLX)
Highlight is the Screen: 440 ppi
And the Hardware is approximately same like Optimus G.
Or shuld i wait after CES in Las Vegas. I dont know
What do you think?
OT Ends

my advice,if you care about the camera,you should not think about LG...though I myself is a LG user,I have to say that LG's camerais just soso...maybe worse...
though it's a 13.0 M pixels,pictures taken by it is worse than the N7100
wait...if you want to buyan international version,the 8.0 Mpixels camera on att&Canada version is much butter than the 13.0 M on Korea version,youmay find some pictures taken by others on xda
despite the camera,it's the best phone that I've ever used
hope this will help you to buy your favorite phone

Well, cant see any real difference between Note 2 in case of camera, but personally i think Note2 is more wise choice, just cause of usability and strong battery.
Btw korean version of optimus G has a really annoying issue - cause of the way it designed, the camera lense easy to get dirty and hard to clean, so usually there a lot of blur and distortion on images.
Ah, and the main issue of the camera - the autofocus logic really differs from other phones - you must tap tge screen to get the camera focused.
Man who designed it, should be executed immediately.

Now im Waiting after the 6. December. Maybe we will see something new from the HTC Deluxe for Europe.
Hope it will had an stronger Battery then US & Korean Version (2100 mah).
After this, i watch witch Phone i want to buy. All 3 Phone are very Good.
So i stop the OT here and BTT sry
Hope Lg Optimus G is soon available in Europe.

optimus G pro forum?

hello LG users.
I am confused as to various LG models, is Optimus G Pro a minor variation of the Optimus G or a successor? If it is a successor phone, I can't seem to find the Optimus G pro forum on XDA.
Can anyone clear this up for me?

Yes its a successor, the next model. OG is F180, and OGPro is F240
I've already asked to make a separate forum, but seems like it will be made when OG Pro will hit the shelves in USA

When will it hit the US? Deciding if it's this or the S4

I don't believe it's an upgrade. It's more like a competitor to the Galaxy Note class.

You right, my friend bought one. That just a big version of Optimus G with some minor improvments like full-hd screen, sd card etc.
Software is same, cant find any difference except the model number

I own one. I wouldn't say they're minor improvements. The SD card slot, HUGE removable battery, and beautiful full-HD screen are what sold me on it. The CPU is also clocked higher than the G. Better front camera too with double video feature. It also has an IR blaster. Last, but not least it has a Q button and Qapps that allow multitasking - windows on top of others with adjustable transparency.

No forum yet for the Optimus G Pro, however we do have this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40085152

Awful screen? Sounds like you have a clone unit or a faulty screen. I'm comparing it to my Droid DNA and Note II and its nice and sharp good colours. So don't know what your looking at

The Optimus G is on par/size with other regular Smartphones, the Optimus G Pro is on par with Phablets like the Galaxy Note/Note 2. Of course the OG Pro is an upgrade over those by having a Full HD 1080p screen, 32GB of internal storage (23GB of usable space) Snap Dragon 600 processor and bigger battery.
GN3 will no doubt look to reclaim the king of phablet title in the fall, but for now the OG Pro does rein supreme and unless Samsung really ups their game with the Octo Exynos Processor, more RAM and more Internal Storage then the OG Pro is still the top dog.

if the rumors are true of the gn3 being 5.9 or greater inches ill pass. plus the at&t model will have a locked bootloader.

The OG Pro is a sweet device, but once I get something I am always looking to the next thing. The GN3 will be of great interest to me, but I won't be a pre-order or inline day 1 person. I won't be jumping on anything until I hear there is dev support, rooting, bootloader unlocking and work arounds. I jumped to AT&T for flexibility (GSM) and away from Verizon. If I have to go International so be it.

[Q] Take LG G PRO E988 or keep my Mega 6.3 i9200? Urgent!

Hey guys I will keep this simple.
I have been offered a straight up trade with an LG G PRO E988 for my Samsung Mega 6.3 i9200.
We all know the difference and I know in terms of screen estate is a huge downgrade(especially in videos/movies/games which is my primary use), but I think the 1080p LCD and the Snappy 600/Adreno 320 will make up for it a lot for that "smaller" screen.
I got used to the Mega now and even the Note 3 a friend has, feels a lot "smaller" than my Mega.
But I think the better specs as I said will make up for it. And I'm sure I will get used to the "smaller" screen over time.
I have to decide until tonight. Please I would love to hear your thoughts on this and especially from E988 owners.
P.S: One thing. I read somewhere that the Indian version E988 doesn't have FM Radio? Any confirmations?
Mods I'm not sure if this belongs to the Q&A/Help sub-forum or in the General thread, so please move accordingly if necessary.

kelvintisw said:
Don't! Just don't downgrade from a 6.3" to a 5.7" of Note 3 or even a 5.5" of G Pro!
You will regret it due to the smaller screen!
Get the 6"'s HTC One Max!:good:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
HTC Max not an option. Too expensive. We are talking about or over 300euros difference. I'm in the EU.
And I really love my Mega. I had it for over a month now and I absolutely love it. Plants vs Zombies 2, Dead Trigger 2, The Hobbit 1080p on it, all are an amazing experience.
But I had my eye on the G Pro for a while now tbh. I'm just looking to see if I can find some constructive input on it vs the Mega.

In that case, keep your 6.3"!

I have not used the mega so can't comment on it... But OG Pro is a brilliant brilliant phone, no doubt about it... Screen is big at 5.5 " and processor, internal storage are all top no ch...my reason for buying the OG Pro was a) battery life, b) a swiss army knife of hardware features ( removable battery , SD card slot, NFC, wireless charging, 13 mp camera etc , list goes on) ...until now ( more than 3 months with the OG pro) and the phone has exceeded my expectations

LG Optimus G Pro is better, it has quad-core processor and perfect screen size 5.5.

Having gone from a long line of Samsung devices prior to the LG Optimus G Pro, I can say that the screen is remarkably good. I much prefer it to the super saturated and artificial colors of AMOLED. It's much more pleasant overall for reading and image viewing. There's no doubt that I'll stick with IPS from now on over AMOLED.

The Mega has an LCD. Also I saw a review/comparison(it was phonearena iirc) between the Mega and the GPro and I really liked the GPro.
Anw thanks guys for the replies.
I'm gonna go for it. And if I regret I can always get another Mega, after I sell the GPro..

[Q] Lg Optimus G vs Motorola Moto G?

Which do you think is better for performance, gaming, general usage/smoothness?
Also, quick other question, the Lg Optimus G, which version of android is the latest official update? 4.1? 4.2? 4.3?
I can get either one, both for the same price (16 gb moto g vs e975 optimus g)

Moto g got weaker gpu. Will always be on newer android officially. Screen better on Optimus G, moto G screen got slight bad viewing angles
Sent from my LG-E975 using Tapatalk

LG OptimusG: slightly better camera, 2gb Ram, good build-quality, LTE. Lots of more or less usefull software addtions but uggly and based off android 4.1. E975 has never gotten an android update and most probably never will although it has a similar hardware to nexus 4. 32gb of storage.
Moto G: Android 4.3 and the guaranty to get 4.4 early next year. SoC is very battery efficient, camera is worse than on e975. gaming will be in most cases similar to optimus g but if you want to multitask 2gb of rams would have been better.
i'd prefer optimus g if you don't mind that lg gives a **** on software support. otherwise i'd choose the moto g, it's a good phone too, but lacks of storage and ram.

You mention lack of android updates from LG on the optimus G, I was just reading about that updated officially to 4.1 only, but custom roms seem to get 4.3 and I think even 4.4, that true? Thanks for the responses.
Upgrading from my galaxy nexus, so either will be an upgrade really

e975 was released with android 4.1 in europe, so it technically never got an update.
i came from galaxy nexus to optimus g too, and it was a huge upgrade. especially the screen and the 2gigs of RAM where really great. yes there are even 4.4 rom's and they are pretty good. our devs do a really good job but don't expect a rom-selection as big as on galaxy nexus.

The xda community is great for support. I do not pretend to expect a rom community as big as the galaxy nexus, I thought I was going to change roms and test alot out on my galaxy nexus, ended up sticking to paranoid android, cyanogenmod, and such. So long as there is a stable (daily driver capable) version of android 4.3 or 4.4 for this phone, I would be happy.

Can't compare moto G with OG. MG has other market target. It's aiming at chinese phones..in the 200-300 price range. it will never compete with high end android devices.i wouldn't buy a chinese quad core from a no name chinese brand if i'd had to choose between moto g and one of those. but between og and mg...og all the way.
BTW...this is my last post here as a LG OPTIMUS G OWNER...i just sold mine for 320 euros..tomorrow i'll get a S4 for about 3 weeks,then i'll buy the G2. It was a great time spent here. Enjoy your phones guys. i'll enter from time to time,to see what happens here and to bash those who deserve it

OG always. I have the twice and say that OG is better.

@kimitza, good luck with your new toy (just in time for Christmas, I guess )! Thank you very much for all the support you've been providing to OG community! For me, as a recent new OG user, your posts were the first source of some valuable info. Your help is most greatly appreciated! :good:

thanks,but i won't be gone for good...i'll still help if i can.

I have both phones, and have to say I'm very impressed with the Moto G, mainly in terms of battery power and vibrant screen. Colours pop a little better than the optimus G which is a bit dull in comparison. Gaming performance is similar, but the optimus G is slightly faster. Obviously Moto G is easier to handle in one hand, and sound is more rounded on the Moto G (Optimus has more treble). Optimus G is still my main phone, however Moto G is an outstanding backup phone and recommended IMO.

Motorola G is the best phone on price/quality. It costs half price than optimus g, in my country, and it offers the same on hardware, with some differences.

Should I get the Optimus G pro?

A week ago I broke my nexus 4, cracked it lol. So Im using this chance to get a upgrade of space(sdcard slot) and I found this phone broken on ebay (cracked screen nothing else) for 130. My question is: is it worth getting this phone, or should I get the optimus G (e970) and put it on tmobile..
The Optimus G pro is supposed to be alot better than the e970 and I really think it is, Specifically because:
Internal Storage of 32gb
Bigger screen
13 Mega Pixel instead of 8
Notification Led is in front instead of side
Battery is way bigger
and many others..
My brother doesnt think I should try for the phone because he has heard that the performance is worse than the e970 because its a bigger screen with a higher pixel density and the same gpu as the e970, Im not worried about the gameplay right now. Should I be?
However I do have some concerns which are:
The Developer community is smaller I think
And is the service good on tmobile?
My brother has his en970 on Tmobile, is it possible to have the Pro on tmobile? and if so does it get good service?
Ill list more if I remember any
Have any of you had the e970 before you got this phone? how did the difference feel?
I look forward to hearing your opinions. and I really appreciate them.
Sincerely Joshua
P.S. I apologise for any incorrect grammar

Both LG phones just work, not much need for development.
It comes down to whether you want the larger screen.
I have never used T-Mobile and have no idea how they work on that carrier, but don't they have the same bands?
I am currently using a MotoX and keep eying the G Pro as my next phone. My Optimus G was every bit as good as the MotoX and the G Pro is essentially the same phone with a larger screen.
Good luck with your next phone..
BTW - the camera is great on my wife's G Pro and so is the battery life.

Yeah I'm really hoping to get that phone soon too. Because it looks amazing, way better than the e970 lol. And personally I think the larger screen will be something I'll get used to.
Yeah, both the pro and the e970 have the right bands for T-Mobile and I'm hoping it'll work good or better than the e970 does.

I bet, as soon as I heard about the camera and the battery life I was like "whoa"
And thanks btw, Good luck to you too.

bought one today on ebay for 225$...
i think its the cheapest used snapdragon 600 phone on the market..

I'm comming from an LG E970 (OG AT&T variant) and got my g pro recently so here are my thoughts:
Pros:
-GORGEOUS screen. The huge screen is a lot better than the OG, and the size makes it ideal for movie/video watching.
-Lots of storage. The OG has 16 internal and sd slot. I had mine with a 16 gig sd. Never ran out of space but the extra is always welcome.
-Camera. The 8mp cam on the OG is decent at best. The G pro's cam is a whole lot better in every aspect.
-Battery. Whith my OG i was reaching for my charger before my workday ended (with moderate to heavy use of course, some gaming, lots of music, web surfing), the G pro battery lasts a lot longer.
-Stock modded kitkat rom with optimus UI and several lg goodies available (knock off anyone?)
-Price. I got mine in mint condition for under $300 on ebay, and there are a lot of offers for $250-$300 in good shape. Just like the OG this phone is a good bargain when it comes to bang for buck.
Cons
-Very small dev support. The OG and N4 have a ton of roms to choose from, the G pro doesn't.
-Size can be overwhelming at first, takes a while to get used to. I have small hands but still manage to do most hings one handed.
-"Brickability" or how easy it is to get a soft brick on this phone(read the threads). Though it is easy to bring back and i havent read of any hard bricks, a lot of people have soft bricked trying to flash radoenmaya's kitkat rom.
so there you have it. I've only had my G pro for a couple of days, but used an optimus G for months, and with the new kitkat rom, I can't say I miss the OG except maybe for the size sometimes(playing ingress on the G pro is sweet!).

Yeah, personally I think it is one of the cheapest too. That's why I want it so bad haha.
However my plan is to buy a cracked one on eBay and repair it myself, hope it goes well.
And that's one of my fears is about the fact that the dev community isn't too big so there are few ROMs, however I don't really mind because it was a little overwhelming to choose from so many ROMs on the nexus 4.
P.s. have you tried beanstalk? How was it?

Og pro has snapdragon 600 no s4 as og has.

Oh yeah true.. Lol

Havent tried it, not really fond of AOSP or CM based roms. I prefer stock modded. I tried it on my OG though and it was solid.

Oh lol yeah I love cm based roms.
Haven't tried too many stock ROMs with mods
