Hi all, i'm planning to buy lg g pro in India (e988). Is it a good buy? Main con seems to be locked bootloader. (Currently using atrix2,which also has locked bootloader )Any other negative points?
Other option i was considering was nexus5 but it is costlier than g pro and seems to have poor battery and camera.
So, should i go for g pro?

This is one of the most underrated devices on the market.... You cannot go wrong with it in my opinion.. Dev support is only increasing.. example is we have a stable cm 10.2 now..4.4 is already up and running and very soon official cm 11 will be here

Buy LGOG2 boot loader unlock if Wu LG
The device is out since last automn, it's not even one year old...
My next one is not for the next 1 or 2 year easy!
And, as of now, there's no need to "upgrade", there's no real gaint to get, performance wyze, at stock speed. So when it starts to get "slow", I'll overclock a little, install CM rom, and stuff like that!
But, for now, the device is doing everything I ask it to do, and fast!

OG is still lightning fast and running smoothly on all the apps. I 'll most probably wait for the G3, the time when OG really outdated.

Hm. Probably wait until Google releases their new phone, or Sony. A lot of new competetors out there who knows what will come up.

Do European models of the LGOG come with 4.2.2?
Sent from my LG Optimus G
Nope.
So no update for the OG? Damn....
So far the only official version we have is 4.1.2 for all variants.
Would be nice even if one variant gets 4.4 cause then it can be ported like how the Korean rom was ported and then later the HK one before NA officially got 4.1.2
Just remember, the fragmentation of Android don't benefits the Google... So the company has been trying recruiting all devices eligible to dissemination of SO... Including LGOG... Maybe not in October, but most fast possible.... My opinion

LG would be the saddest smartphone company if they didn't update their one year old Flagship. Take hints from Samsung, LG
Sent from my LG Optimus G
Most smartphone users do not care about software updates. They do not know the importance of it. Just want Facebook working well on a big screen and durable battery. Why in my opinion it would take to update our OG is trying to avoid fragmentation of Android, not the anxiety of a minority of users ...

If such phones like the L7,L5 and L3 will get the update im sure that our G will get it too.
C'mon guys what a comparison L3 vs the G, its more a joke.
LG should drop their own software and form a partnership with Cyanogenmod. Simple as that. No problems with software and they could only concentrate on hardware.
please not!!!!
LG UI is one of the gratest interfaces i´ve ever seen!

Weird how LG replies with news of an update, when they ignore everyone who needs support
I'm hoping above all else that we do, but it just seems weird that an LG phone would be among the first to receive an update considering the company's history
Sent from my LG Optimus G
I think the Nexus devices would have the exclusivity for at least a month before any other device gets the update.
Well i just read that lg france answered a user asking for the kit kat update for our lgog and they said it will be ready to launch this month

I'm looking for an upgrade from Optimus 2X P990. I've a shortlisted a few phone that are in my budget, they are the N4, Optimus G, Optimus G Pro, and the Xperia SP.
There are a few questions I have.
Firstly, I'll buy an E980 AT&T version if I am to get an Optimus G Pro, but will it work with the Indian Service providers flawlessly?
Secondly, why isn't there as many ROMs as there has to be for a terrific phone as this? Is it because of the Locked Bootloader?
Thirdly, does the FreeGee support mean that a Pandora's box of ROMs and Kernels have been opened?
Thank you all.
Regards,
Ron

It all depends what you're looking for. True, the OGP lacks dev support, but the few ROMs we work nicely and the hardware is fantastic.
I wouldn't bother with an N4. The AT&T LG Optimus G (LG-E970) has almost the same exact hardware as the N4 but a bigger and better screen with cap keys and an external SD slot. But, since everything else is 97% the same as the N4, the OG gets updated custom ROMs just as fast as the N4 since the sources for the N4 can be use for the e970 with very minor changes.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I did consider the AT&T E970 for the reasons you mentioned. But then again, the hardware and design of the E980 is too tempting to let go. Wondering if the development for the phone will grow in future. If so, this will be my next phone, hopefully. Also, since it has official CM support too, doesn't that secure the development of ROMs for at least 2-3 years? :/

Not necessarily. With 4.4 now out, the CM team would still need to add the device. However, personally, I do think this will get the 4.4 update one way or the other and I won't be jumping to a new phone anytime soon.

I just traded my galaxy s4 for this phone and couldn't be happier. installed cwm and flashed carbonrom.. loving it! :good:
This phone is a great phone and the developers that we do have are great. We will continue to get updates because the hardware is too good to just leave on jellybean. This is my opinion of course, so I am clearly happy with the e-980 and don't plan on getting another phone anytime soon.

I was looking for an upgrade from my aging galaxy note and this thing is absolutely wonderful. Top tier specs and much cheaper to pick up unlocked then top range samsung stuff. The only downside I've found has been that the custom rom support isn't as good as most Samsungs I've owned so just check out what is available for the optimus G pro and see if it's enough for you.

this phone is capable of way more than the samsung galaxy s4 that has the mf3 update. mine did so I traded for this phone :good:
I'm seriously thinking of getting the OGPro now. But it's only the lack of development that worries me a little, hope it gets better with time.
Thank you all for your valuable suggestions.
PS: Probably gonna place an order in an hour or two.

Hey guys i'm confused between g pro n g2. The only thing i need is a better battery life.If i go with g pro i have an option to buy the extended battery from amazon but reviews suggest both the phone are awesome i personally feel lg will give more s/w update to g2 than g pro(s/w update is not much a prob as we have custom rom's )
what u guys thing g2 or g pro ?
Thanks for you help
A co worker of mine has the G2 and I have the G Pro,, the G2 is a very nice phone but I prefer the G Pro. Removable battery expandable memory. Love the G Pro hands down.

Agree with you.
No expandable memory and replacement battery are BIG NO to me.

So I will go with g pro!
Will get it soon

Ive a nexus 3. Good phone. But 100 Euro is expensive in my eyes for that old phone.
But i heared from a friend,that he get a new nexus5 for 199 Euro. In white , but the color isnt worth to pay more.
