Lg optimus g or Note 2

I am thinking of either getting the optimus g or the Samsung Note 2 from Rogers, But my only question is are either of them compatible with Wind mobile. This is the specs from the rogers site.
Connectivity
GSM/EDGE Bands:850/900/1800/1900
HSPA+/HSPA Bands:850/1900/2100
LTE Bands:700/AWS/850/1900
The Note2 has the same specs.
I see it says Aws so I am thinking Yes butr I would like to make sure befor buying.

I have solded note 2 to buy optimus g.
It s more smooth than note 2 because of new screen tech - touch + lcd.

I have GS3 now, and kind of disappointed with the outdoor screen visibility. How would you compare the Optimus G to Note 2 in that aspect ?

sure lg o g is better display when outdoor.
S3 is more smooth than note 2 because of display tech.
NOTE 2 is rgb but when i tested i dont know why but Screen response speed of s3 is better than note 2... => s3 is smooth than note 2. Test this :d
And i dont think note 2's display is better than s3... i like s3 screen than note 2... althought note 2 is less blue/green tint than s3.
S-Pen is very good and new for me. But i think it's not need for me... when i test it about 1 week, i didnt use it more. It only for draw in smartphone but... draw in note 2 is bull sss. :

The Note II feels exactly like the GSIII, but big. Which is to say good, but the case feels cheap (I've owned the GSIII and a friend has the Note II).
I bought the Optimus G today. The case feels AMAZING. The software is a buggy pile of **** that can't be debloated. I'm returning it tomorrow.

I think in canada rogers version bis going to be like the att with expandable memory and sprint version is going to be bell and telus. What I was wondering is if either the note 2 or optimus g are pentaband phones that can be used on 1700 aws band4? The nexus 4 is which is based on the optimus g but the internal memory is only 8gb or 16gb with no expandable memory is a pentaband and can be used on 1700 aws such as wind mobile in canada aand t mobile is US.

I'll offer up my two cents worth and see if it helps.
On the software front, TW on the Note 2 is what most will consider superior. It seems to add more functionality to the core experience of the phone than LGs UI. LG seems to go with a very minimal approach to skinning. Personally, i like some features and hate others. The biggest thing i cant stand is how the settings menu works in the Optimus. Also, the integration of the S-pen into the UI and apps really does seem to add a lot of functionality. Although, that being said, i haven't spent a large amount of time with my Optimus...Yet.
Hardware, well, that's just as important to me as software, and LG wins hands down in that category (at least that's my opinion). Before i get flamed, I'm not so much talking about internals as i am external. This phone is slick, elegant. It just feels damn good to hold and look at. Its solid and well built, quite honestly the best phone I've handled. Again, that's all personal preference. It has a good weight to it, but not too heavy. Really, just enough to make you feel like you are holding quality. My only gripe is the fact you cant replace that battery, not that i EVER have in any phone ive owned.
The note is a bigger version of the S3 in terms of hardware, and quite honestly, it felt cheap in my hands.
One last thing, and for me, its probably the thing i like most about this phone. I absolutely love the location of the notification LED. Honestly more so because i think it looks great than i think its a practical placement. I just wish it flashed more frequently and longer when there was a notification.

Returned to my Optimus G Pro from Galaxy S4

Just a note after my Galaxy S4 disaster (s4 screen broke in my pocket)
I went back to my Optimus G Pro. And what a difference. I fell for the hype and benchmarks of the i9500 8 core. Ok so my OGP gets 19k in antutu and my S4 got 29k. 10k more. Thing is in the real word. My optimus g pro is sooo much quicker and snapper in everything it does. Typing is faster and easier I could go on and on. Benchmarks don't mean jack and I finally learnt that the hard way. Real life usage is what counts.
The launcher and S_Bloat make the S4 stutter and lag. If an s4 owner says that not true either they are immune to it and use to it. Or pure blinded fanboys.
If you know someone with an S4 put the phones side by side and do phone tasks. You'll see stutters and lag on the S4 but smoothness on the OGP.
I wasted a lot of money since my S4 broke, but glad I have the best phone out there for me. The Optimus G Pro. King of phablets.
My F240K next to my weak S4 that could not live in my jeans pocket without cracking an amloed screen.

Could not agree with you more. I have a galaxy s4 and it lags and sucks. The LG Optimus G Pro is a much faster device. I agree most folks claiming galaxy s4 is the best are pure fanbois. It's funny these same fanbois make fun of apple fanbois and they are not better. They take whatever Samsung feeds them and they love it. Galaxy s4 battery also sucks it's just not a wow phone and sub par even thought specs are similar to LG.

Yep its over rated. I've found everything my Optimus G Pro does, is much faster and better than the S4. I forgot to mention. The camera is faster and better indoors. My S4 suffered horrible shutter lag. Music quality is better. Battery much better. I could go on and on.
I was blinded into thinking the S4 was better. Good marketing in Samsung part I must admit. They are more like Apple more as each new device is released.
The i8910 Omnia was good, the S2 was good. S3 onwards = made for the masses. And I fell for it.
LG It seems have stuck to there plan, if they just improve there updates to new android versions they could be selling much more as their hardware is top notch.

Also it seems the sg4. And the HTC one are having some strange build issues. I was reading about camera lens problems on the one and screen breaking in the sg4. The sad part is how rude and nasty those forum are becoming. Glad I pick up this phone and the people here are more helpful and appears to have a better sense of community. Thanks guys for being great people.

Yes I know what you mean. I post about my screen breaking on my S4 in the s4 forums and was accused of lying and making it all up. Got some nasty replies. That I must have dropped the phone. Many users there are now completely blind and cant hear anything bad about their beloved s4.
Good thing was a few other users on aged accounts also posted the same issue with the screen (amoled) cracking in their pockets. The lag too from the poor software launcher goes mostly unnoticed apart from comments like root and uninstall the bloat, issue fixed.
Shouldn't be like that in the first place. Well OGP will be my phone for a while till the OG2P is out. Well done LG.

Agreed
I also felt that s4 has no any thing which is perfectly crafted...everything is half baked....octa core to air view to heating to low memory to screen smearing etc...only gimmic is perfect
But ..bitter truth THAT LG Optimus G Pro has everything better except Dev Support...
If this device gets dev support like note devices...it will be great for long run

Please do share how to so this, increase the throttling temp range
I have done some editing in system/etc/thermald.conf
Warning messing with values here could cause heat damage to your OGP
Run adb logcat | grep Thermal
You can see when it throttles
LG have various temp sensor alarms that clock down the CPU when it gets to 57 degrees if I reading it right.

No, I don't think it'll help with lags but anyhow, this is it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296447
I think lags are from incorrect idle activities implementation either on Qualcomm side on LG side, the overheating is not to blame here

give it time
They are brand new devices, so give it a few months before you seriously judge them.
For example, scrolling in Chrome is smooth as butter on my GSII and yet I get lots of stutters scrolling Chrome on my Optimus G Pro, even though it is has faster everything [cpu/gpu/ram]. That being said, I am not going to call the Optimus G Pro junk, just because it isn't perfect.

Thats down to software. I use the Internet browser and its fast and smooth. Chrome isn't. And typing about:debug then hitting settings button allows you debug setting like making the user agent desktop.

It's definitely not junk. I swapped from my gs4 to a HTC one to this and I like it a lot. I just never experienced lag like this from using any live wallpaper before.

[Q] Optimus G, Nexus 4 or S3 LTE?

Hello guys! I have recently decided to buy a new phone, and after some searching on the internet, I cannot decide between the following phones (they all have the same price from where I buy them): Optimus G, Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3 LTE. I would go for the nexus because of the fast updates coming from Google and the powerful hardware, but I don't like that it has the buttons on the screen and I would really like an LTE phone because it is more future reliable. I like the Optimus G and the S3, but I can't decide between them. I like both interfaces, they have similar hardware, and also the storage is much bigger. I don't think that the Nexus has enough storage and I am afraid that Optimus G won't receive many updates. I mean it's stuck on 4.1.2 for quite a long...
So, in conclusion, I would like a phone that will receive updates (like 4.4 kitkat) and that has a nice interface and powerful hardware. So which one should I choose? Thank you in advance.

you want lte or you use or will use lte?
if lte is a must S3 has better camera
if camera is not an issue optimus G
you can always use cyanogenMod for future updates.

I say the S3 cos it has the most customizability. If there's any thing u don't like. U can change it. Also. The S3 is the best for gaming, has the best camera, and it is more well known. Which means anytime u want to know something about your phone. Search it up and I almost guarantee that you'll find it. Oh yeah. People have started to repair soft bricked and hard bricked Samsung Galaxies. Whereas other phones don't get that kinda support. (Geez I'm acting like I'm in a dam commercial).

I would like yto have lte because it seems more future proof and soon it will ne available in my city. i also heard that s3 has a poor quality built.

No s3 lte. Is worse than normal s3. Nexus4 or G. But n4 has no lte. It's a big deal,i see you're from romania. If you think 8/16gb are enough and you want the latest android on your phone,but no lte,then buy the n4. If you don't care about that,but you still want 32gb of storage,a sturdy device,with flawless lg ui(it's way lighter and better than samsung's tw),with a more than decent camera,lte connection,then go for the g. Make sure it will be e975. Other models will not have 4g in romania.

S3 doesn't have poor built quality, its the material used what people bugged about.
if you are in US, S3 will be a dualcore with 2GB ram, rest of the world its quad core with 1GB ram, left the LTE version i9305 which is quadcore + 2GB RAM. so search your options.

Can never go wrong with Optimus G!

Hi,
2 months ago I also had the same issue and went for the Optimus G. I left out the N4 because the 16GB maximum storage and the lack of LTE. Regarding the S3, from the hardware point of view, I don’t think it can compete with the OG.
OG
Slighty better CPU
Much better GPU
Better display (at least for me; colors more realistic)
Better materials; feels more robust
S3
Some say it has better camera (however, for a smartphone, my only complaint about the OG’s camera has to do with the autofocus. It's not a big deal but sometimes it gets a little erratic. I don't know about the S3; OG E975 has 13Mpx)
Lighter (the consequence of the materials used)
Probably better support regarding ROM updates (let’s hope LG has learned from their mistakes)
However, you can always opt for a custom ROM. OG is not as popular as S3 but you can easily confirm here at XDA that you have many options for OG. I’m still using LGOG original ROM (E97510H-EUR-XX) and it’s very fast and stable, even with 100+ apps installed.

Just my 2 cents on the display... S3 has a Super AMOLED screen, while OG has an IPS LCD. People's opinions on the differences are quite polarized, but in my book a good LCD beats AMOLED anytime, hands down. More realistic colours, less "cartoonish". And the display on OG is just awesome -- I have a couple S3 owners commenting on how surprised they were about it.

once you use a good super amoled plus you will never ever want to go anywhere no matter how greater the LCD screen is, but if you are like me or someone who don't like too vibrant colors (most people like vibrant color) newer LCD's specially from LG are very very Good.
also remember Samsung has altered the display of S4 and now S3 via software update to give you option to make is realistic color and many didn't realize this and never tried it.
Note:
people also doesn't know amoled has a very short life span vs the LCD panels, and this lifespan is about the color reproduction not the working life. so a 2 year old amoled screen will look terrible in-front of a new amoled and more than 2 year old amoled will give you strange color balance, many doesn't know this and say amoled is Sh=t.

Samsung set the standard with those over saturated colours. Being the no1 player on the market,the average user take for granted this is how a screen should be like. And the other manufacturers play samsung's game too. Take lg for example,although we have ips lcd,the coulours ARE in fact a litle over saturated. So,mentioning the colours is irrelevant. I would go for sunlight visibility,which is better for lg. The materials,also a plus for g. S3 lte has about the same custom support like our g. And i said it before,neck to neck,the kicks the butt of s3 lte.

s5 vs G2 my experience

I bricked my g2 while I wait for my replacement I purchased a s5 straight up complete with the case and sd card. I had become frustrations with lg and their lack of of friendliness towards development.
I prefer the G2 the s5 was super easy to root and apply the wifi tether mod. And the heart rate monitor is cool since I'm a gymrat and the added volume. However thats where it stops
G2 has better batterylife a better camera in normal light conditions just as fast and didnt realize how much I like knock on, the qslide apps A lot and the rear power button has grown on me
and the 4 extra hours of battery with the added 1 1/2 - 2 hours of on screen time I miss the g2
lg does not get enough credit for a awesome device

LG makes good phones, but as you said software/updates wise, is where they are lacking. AMOLED is over rated, in web surfing and general use it uses more power than LCD. Websurfing up 2x or more power due to white background.

I agree. I also like how organized the lg g2 Dev world is. Its nice to have mods and Roms that work on all variants. Which means now we have lots of devs technically working together. That's something I've never had in any other phone. Especially my s3 and s4.

I also tried the S5 for awhile, and am now back to my G2. Battery life is so much better on the G2, the camera is comparable, and Knock on/knock off now is indispensable to me... I just hope the QHD in the G3 doesn't end up reducing battery life compared to the G2!

Nice to know… thanks!!

good point.

Almost due.for an upgrade, will have to wait and see.uf.the G3 is worth upgrading...

I totally agree lacking in the software department,however LG since i bought the LG Optimous G is a very strong product, i had broke my LG Optimous G, 4 times and i bought it back 5 times, until i just recently upgraded to the LG G2 (gave the wife the Optimous G), hands down i love LG phones, my mom has a galaxy s4 and i just dont like it. good post by OP

just traded someone my S5 for the G2. there is a price difference but i felt the g2 was a better phone im happy with the switch

I have a quick question...I have a upgrade with Sprint and I have the HTC one right now. I'm trying to decide on weather to wait for the LG G3 or just go with the G2 because it seems like the battery life is better..Or just go with a M8 or S5 what do you guys think

The battery life on all my Samsungs just can't compare---they're at 20% by 8:00 PM where the LG is at 60%. Also, the LG is faster and rarely seems to get bogged down. I am curious about the G4 though and it's either that or possibly the Moto. I'm done with Samsung---too much bloat and crap.

But is the G4 a definite step up, or is it a lateral move? I remember looking at the specs for the G3, and it seemed that the OGP still had some Better specs in certain areas. So, if we migrate over to the G4, what if anything will we be losing? I might wait a bit and see if the G4 Note becomes a reality...
Edit: if you like a bright white screen, you might not be happy with the G4. When i did a side by side comparison between the G4 & the OGP, I noticed that the G4 was much dimmer than the OGP, and it had a distinct blue tint instead of the bright white I'm accustomed to. Both phones were set to m max brightness. I'm not sure if the G4 has any sort of tint or tone settings to have caused the blue-ish screen, but it was definitely set set max brightness. It reminded me of the coloring on an Amoled from a Note 2. One thing of note though...when viewed by itself, the G4's screen looked fine! But when placed side by side, there was a marked difference...

Let snapdragon 820 phone come. I will upgrade rather 808 or 810

I miss the home button LED on the ogp.

I played with the G4 twice in the store. The G Pro and the G4 both have the same size screen, but you get more screen to use on the G Pro when you factor in the G4 having onscreen buttons. I wish they had made the G4 with a 5.7 inch screen like the LG Stylus.

Quite honestly, maybe I'm missing something. I messed around with the G4, G3, Samsung S5, S6 and the Nexxus 6 and I noticed very little difference in the LG E980 and these other phones. Screen--not much difference. Reaction time---almost the same. Size---same, thickness---slightly better but nothing crazy.
Honestly, about the only phone I thought was "exciting" was the Iphone 6 plus. But I want external memory and removable battery. Just not excited to upgrade...is there something I'm missing?

Yeah you missing that you are crazy nut. Lol serious thought. I agree on pretty much everything. I do not think the last few years have made a big difference anymore. And the G Pro is probably the best phone you easily can buy for under 150 probably the best one anyway. Because most phones more expensive or same price range have build in battery and those after roughly 2 years aren't lasting anymore. I had to get a replacement for my G Pro because the battery drained within 3 hours. But isn't a big deal since it has a replaceable battery.

I sold my G3, because of a very poor battery life, had to charge it 4-6 times daily, and this G4 is reported to have even poorer battery life than G3 on several sites
so I wont buy g4, there are better alternatives with lower price tags

I moved from the G Pro to the G4. Battery life has been great so far, standby lasted a few days. On screen was near 6 hours with heavy use and the quick charge feature is great! Now that it's rooted and all of the bloat removed, it's an even better phone. The camera is very impressive and crisp. I still have my G Pro and love it however, I just don't turn it on much anymore. The G4 has impressed me to the point that my other devices really don't get touched anymore.

Swapped my OGP with new G4 from a retailer yesterday. Its like riding a Trimph after a base model of Honda. Though a lot of bloatware, but zero lag till now.
Well, need you guys help. Please share inbuilt qhd videos on OGP with me. Searched over on internet but couldn't find anything.
