Develop Bugs

Just got it!

Left my EVO 4G LTE for this beauty. SO HAPPY. Loving it. What are some cool tips and tricks? Any awesome apps I should get? (This is my second android, I only had EVO for two weeks).

Welcome to the collective.
Dead Trigger was one of the first apps I got. Very tempted to get Need for Speed: MW.
Wallbase to look at nice pictures and test out the screen.

You wont regret it, i made the same switch as you did!
This phone has a ridiculous amount of potential.

I'm thinking of getting this phone as a second phone, but unfortunately I think this phone will only have potential and developing for it won't quite take off which is why I haven't pulled the trigger.

Why do you believe that to be the case when it's nearly identical to the Nexus 4 and the bootloader has already been unlocked?

Patience is a virtue my friend, and you do have choices. I see the progress being made with the boot loader and root, as well as an AIO tool already completed, man once these roms get rolling you'll regret not having one.
The choice is yours my friend.

I was thinking about getting the evo lte but I'm now leaning more to the optimus. Is it really that good?? I'm coming from using an evo 3d...
I really want to get it but I'm still not sure.. Thanks for the help..

As of right now my opinion is this. The phone is solid. The corners are kind of harsh. The hardware is fantastic. Surprisingly from what I have heard in the past on LG the ui is pretty good.
At the moment it has the best specs on Sprint period.
Now, when our comes to development, we will have to wait and see. It is the 4th highest selling Android oem on the 3rd largest provider. From that it is easy to say the S3 on At&t gets more attention. This will also never get the following of the Nexus. But, it does have development.
I would get it. You can also wait for the Flossy seal of approval if you like.

This phone is awesome, I've played Need for Speed Most Wanted, Dark Knight Rises,Asphalt 7, Minecraft, and Modern Combat 4, this phone flies, it gets really hot that's the only issue but that doesn't affect performance at all. Stock UI is surprisingly nice. Screen is amazing. Development hasn't been good but I have no doubt that Roms, Kernels, and Mods will come with due time.

Just bought this beast an hour ago, already rooted and transferring my stuff from my Epic 4G. I compared the LG Mach because I didn't want to give up my physical keyboard ( :crying: ) but in the end the dual-core vs. quad-core was no comparison! Plus, $99 at Best Buy was a steal (Sprint store wouldn't price match).
Like going from a Yugo to a Ferrari!

Switched from AT&T and the Motorola Atrix 4G to Sprint and the LG Optimus G and so far, I haven't regretted switching from AT&T to Sprint and from the Motorola Atrix 4G to the LG Optimus G. Can't wait for JellyBean on this phone. Decided to switch to Sprint since Sprint is the only carrier that now offers truly unlimited data.

Just nabbed the last one today @ BB for $99! Loving it so far. Was originally gonna get the Note 2 but the price won't drop. I couldn't resist this deal. Looking forward to the ROMS!

Got this phone yesterday, traded my s3 for it. Loving it so far, since I've hated the S3 as soon as I got it. Evo LTE was nice too had it for 2 months but the 1gb of RAM was killing me with Sense.
Haven't tinkered with it yet but thinking of just stock rooting just for getting rid of the Ads.

LG Optimus G v. Samsung Galaxy Note II

I have had the opportunity to use both of these phones and I just wanted to take the time to discuss what I have found. This is purely for an informational basis for people who are average users who are trying to decide on a phone.
Which is easier to root?
I am not a developer but I have a few friends that are and they have always rooted my phones in the past. With both of these model's I choose to do everything myself an untrained noob if you will. The easier phone to root I would have to say is the Note II. Although developers have done a great job with the Optimus making it a one click a toolkit is literally idiot proof.
Development communuties?
Their is a distinct difference between both communities although the Note II has more development the developers are far more willing to work with you then the Note II devs. The LGOG wins hands down.
Overall phone performance on stock ROM?
LGOG wins hands down the Note is huge but that's not is biggest down fall. I love using my phone with one hand as do most who will read this so functionality is one challenge that the Note can not compete with. Although the Note 2 come out of the box with JB and the LGOG is still stuck on ICS it is also future proof as us the Note 2 but ICS is all hella fast!
I think the LGOG is the best phone for your money on Sprint! If you have any personal questions about the phones or anything like that just PM.
Thanks and I hope this helps anyone on the fence.

Hello And thank you for your review. I want to add a little to what you wrote because you started on the consensus of the average user.
I am not writing this to Discredit anything you wrote..
So to try and Make My opinion as least Biased as possible I will leave the development Aspect aside - To even start to compare the number of Devs or even the development done on the devices is not only far out weighed by any Galaxy III/ Note 2, but there are also set conditions that played a Role in Development. A lot of that Has to Do with the Companies themselves.
Having literally owned every Top Sprint Device. I will start on more consumer based experience. To be quite honest even that will be hard for me to do so my post may be slightly opinionated as well.
More people are probably going to gravitate towards a galaxy product not only based on marketing ALONE FIRST AND FOREMOST.
Both LG And Sprint Spent Little Time marketing the Device. A big part of this has to do as to why there is a certain amount of development from one device to an other.
Elaborating on the stock Features and hardware of the devices having DONE NOTHING to both devices. To the average consumer again this is a superfine line. Again You can go by stock specs alone, but does that mean much to the true AVERAGE user who absolutely does nothing to there phone is going to notice any difference at all. To really be honest no the average user isn't going to even notice the hardware differences at all. In fact a average consumer may be not only drawn to a product alone for marketing but there are other trend factors. (I would not even began to compare stock camera performance!)(Removable Battery) ECT.
One may like the Optimus for the Build Quality/Looks/ ( Screen IPS Display, which again is Consumers opinion as to what picture looks better)
Strictly "consumer" again Customer service between both companies - "In My findings personally" I feel that Samsung reps have better customer service skills and product knowledge. ( Dont want to elaborate why, thats a page in it self 'Thats Why i said personally")
Software updates - Having an every top of the line Samsung android phone on sprint since the Moment - I have seen not only dev grow but Samsungs Commitment for updates! (Trust me it was BAD!) - Having LGs press release saying that it was to debut with JB - is a little let down! But lets hope its around the corner super soon! (im sure t is!!)
Having literally every top of the line android phone from SPRINT -from HTC ----LG...I would say this phone has its Niche with us NERDS!!!
THAT IS FINE WITH ME!!! I feel people appreciate this device for its sexiness and performance which only US NERDS can really understand and began to appreciate in this device!!
Again I dont mean to discredit what you wrote because it is valid and im sure many people feel the same. I was just trying to provide a more general over view.

You are fine I just love the opions I love the optimus g this was nothing against it. Love to see where development is going. I will be back on it soon!

So no one has had the problems I've heard with the Optimus G? Like weak vibrate, poor phone call quality, poor signal, etc? I'm trying to decide which phone to switch to (I have the Note II but I think it's too big) and I thought the Optimus G would be a good phone to switch to, but I'm a bit worried because of all the problems I've been hearing about.
I'm all about the awesome hardware in the phone, but if the phone just doesn't work well then you can have all the processor speed you want and it'll still be a bad experience. :/

I have had uses with my mic (poor call quality) but it was different on different ROM's. Like the lifeless ROM so all was good.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

So a custom rom would help make it a better phone call experience?

My concern is your rooting method...
I have the optimus G and i can say, in terms of simplicity, rooting this device was the easiest device ever to root that I've had. seriously, like 7 commands in a terminal, a button press on the phone, and it rebooted with perm root. NOT difficult at all.

It helped mine

I just got my LGOG and I love it so far but I still can't decide if I want to keep it or swap it out for the note 2. The only thing that is making want to switch is the fact that there are way more roms and dev on the note than there is on the LGOG. I've always had HTC before and there is tons of dev over there. My question is do y'all think that that there will be more roms and etc. In the future? Or should I just switch to there note 2? I only have 3 days left to decide.

No disrespect to the devs over at the sprint Note 2 but all of the roms look the same. Only ROM worth having is jellybomb rom. And CM10 is still at alpha stage.
The Note 2 is a great phone but it size become a shore to carry around. Trust me I had the phone and its size will becoming a pain in the ass at times.

Sounds like you may have got a Dud..it happens!! My siganl is actually great-Voice quality..One of my biggest complaints about the phone is the screen believe it or not, i notice lines in the grays ..and isnt as clear as they make it seem. But in the sunlight this screen Rules!!!

Yeah I think I'm keeping the LGOG. This phone is pretty much the prefect size I think. I'm coming from an HTC sensation so going to they note would be a big size difference. Also I was using my friends note today and I think I just like this phone better. He even liked it better.

Thinking about picking up one

I have the galaxy note 2 right now and was thinking about getting the note 3 until I saw the side by side front panel comparisons. I have had samsung phones for years and was debating on getting the one. The phone was released 6 months ago and that kind of worries me becuase technology seems to move so fast. So my question to you guys is how do y all like it? I played with my uncles the other day and I loved the build quality and the front speakers. How good is sense?

I've been an HTC guy for years, I've tried a couple of Samsung's (Galaxy S(fascinate), Galaxy Nexus,S4) and I keep coming back to HTC.
Personally, I can't stand anything bigger than the Rezound/Galaxy Nexus. I returned the S4 because I couldn't find a comfortable way to hold it. The DNA wasn't much better (gave to my mother after a week)
The HTC one is a perfect fit size wise, I honestly don't know how anyone can use the note's as a phone... Just too big.
I may be sticking with the HTC one for a Long time, I love the build quality, design and the size (as compared to all the phones on the market now)

I came from the S3 and so far, it's a very nice phone. I really like how it feels in the hand when you are talking and I like how I can swype with one hand. As far as speed, it doesn't really feel faster than my S3, they feel about the same. Sense is fine, I use Nova as my primary launcher. Battery is good, better than the S3. But keep in mind, it's not unlocked right now and we don't know if any devs are working on it.

I have watched a couple of videos and they say the phone doesnt lag at all. Is this true? I had the s4 for a couple weeks. It had some lag here and there. How much screen time do you guys get
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app

I've had 0 issues with lag on this phone, the speed is pretty staggering.

i've had the phone for a week and have been very impressed with it. Battery gets me through a day. its very fast as well i haven't noticed any lag.

I haven't seen any of these high end phones lag. I'm thinking some people just like drama. Great phone. Use my rule though be happy and make your purchase based on what is on the phone assuming it will never be unlocked. I've been pretty happy using the logic. I'm unlocked myself, but also happy running rooted stock sometimes.

Long time HTC user up until recently had the sg3/sg4/
This phone is great, I highly suggest it.
The build quality i superior to Samsung, and IMO we have a much better chance of unlock root for this phone than on the s4.
I have a good feeling I'll be selling my s4 in the near future.

actually, all reviewers for the s4 say that TW lags on it. Haven't seen any on my Note 2, but I don't even have TW installed. Probably just needs better optimization.

Re read my post. I've used an s4 its pretty much just as good. People are biased from time to time. Also as my other post said lag is more perception at this point. These super phones do amazing things. Sometimes I think my keyboard "lags" on the one badly for instance. I also realize the other factors at play. Heck people here in this forum complain about sense 5 being laggy. My point is that lag is half perception.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app

Lag doesnt bother me that much as long as it isnt constant. I thought my upgrade was this month but its not until October. I think im going to call verizon and see if I can talk them into giving me an upgrade early
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app

I'm in the same boat. I currently have a note 2 and thinking of either the HTC one or moto x. I love the build quality of the One but love that the moto x is pretty much stock android. If this phone had an unlock/root method, it would be a no brainer. I just hope something comes soon for it and then I could load a Google experience ROM or something

I would honestly just be happy with root. That way I can use titanium backup and some of the other root apps I use

G2 or Nexus 5

I am probably moving on from this phone to either G2 or Nexus 5. From a developing standpoint it looks like I would be able to contribute a lot more to G2. However, I have been pretty busy lately and would love to be continuously updated with the latest android. What do you guys think?

G2 but that's just my two cents as I'm sure a lot of people will say Nexus 5.

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

Given LG's history of releasing a new flagship device every 6 months and quickly forgetting about their previous flagship phones when it comes to software updates, Nexus 5. (It'll feel newer longer.)
The Nexus 5 is GSM and CDMA compatible; higher resale value down the line.
While the Nexus 5 has a smaller battery, the built-in wireless charging capability (also featured on the Verizon LG G2) means occasional top-ups throughout the day are easy and convenient. While the wireless charging pads don't come with the Nexus 5, the price difference between it and the G2 mean you can afford at least two (one for work and one for home).
If you're considering a mobile provider that gives you a discount for not subsidizing a phone, the Nexus 5's retail price of $349/399 (16/32GB) versus the LG G2's ~$600 can save you a lot of money over the course of your carrier's contract.
TL;DR: Unless you need the 3000mAh battery, 5.2" screen, IR blaster, or moar megapixels... I'd advise the Nexus 5.

You'd be getting a sprint variant presumably right? The LS980 dev forums could use a little pick me up, roms are being built for multiple variants in one, and while thats cool and all, it would be nice to see LS980 specific roms/kernels. Since the N5 community is over saturated to be honest, another dev wouldn't matter much on the N5 seeing as everything over there has been built or is in the process. On the G2 however a new dev would be more appreciated seeing as there only a handful comparatively speaking of devs working on the sprint variant, hope this gives you some help on your decision!

I love being able to contribute by building ROMs, but I have been super busy with life and work. I am happy with my decision to get the optimus g, but with 4.4 ROMs and most ROMs in general being glitchy it really makes me want the nexus so I can be constantly updated without many issues. I agree that the nexus won't need anymore devs, but maybe that's not a bad thing for me. I already feel bad when I don't have enough time to get something out to you guys.

Even if you don't have the time to bring something to the table now, It's still pleasing to know that at some point you'll have time, should you join us over on the LS980 that is. It's not the quantity of releases that matters most, it's the quality. And right now we don't have much of either for LS980.

Tempting. Sprint is being stupid as usual about working with me to stay a customer. I might be switching to t mobile. I heard that their data speeds are good but voice service sucks. Can anyone comment on that? I have been having terrible service with sprint lately and no 4g where I live so t mobile might be a huge upgrade.

I'd think it fitting to do exactly and only what is right for you, and no one else.
As to voice + data services, these vary by region of the country. It took 2 years where I live for Sprint to go from selling 4G LTE phones and charging for them monthly to actually delivering on it. Now, I couldn't be happier with the data and voice quality (though voice has never been an issue where I reside).
T-Mobile may be great where you live, and based on what you've stated about wanting time for you and wanting a trouble-free update experience, go with the Nexus 5 and be done with it.
I wish you luck.

I'd think it fitting to do exactly and only what is right for you, and no one else.
As to voice + data services, these vary by region of the country. It took 2 years where I live for Sprint to go from selling 4G LTE phones and charging for them monthly to actually delivering on it. Now, I couldn't be happier with the data and voice quality (though voice has never been an issue where I reside).

I appreciate all the opinions and thoughts. I ended up going with the nexus 5 on t mobile. I did the jump program so maybe in 6 months if I have the urge to contribute more I will try something different.

Went back to Samsung

Over rated phone with no development! One plus is a better choice. Either way good luck

Good for you, now go away to the samsung section,

These retorts make me laugh. The phone wasn't a bad phone i just expected a whole lot more and especially more development but Lg is making major strides. Two cents said

G3 runs out of the box as well as any phone out there including those running custom roms.... LG has done a bang up job on it. One reason that devs are lagging I suspect.... Good luck to you...

Dont really think this post was needed but hey, its here...
The G3 has its drawbacks as any phone does honestly, a locked bootloader is just that. Either wait it out, dont buy it or move along. All this was known prior to buying the phone so its your call, not like its a surprise. The T-Mobile version, being unlocked doesnt have enough base support for Devs to be overly interested in it and will be slow going. Hopefully once a fully working AOSP build is available things, at least for the T-Mobile version should pick up some. If you want an out the box supported phone do research prior to buying it, Nexus, One Plus One, HTC, Motorola etc. Companies that either give you the tolls to unlock, or model lines that are unlocked across all carriers are the way to go now a days...shouldnt be surprising.

Bye Bye

Waiting to see what nexus offers I'm not all that impress with the note, only plus side to it is development (which isn't as popping as the nexus either)

Correct. The only thing I have to see before I make a change is SD card slot. Got to have one.
BAD ASS G3

I moved from Samsung because the annoying Knox, and Google Wallet (tap and pay doesn't work with Samsung phones).

So now your wanting the Nexus 6? You said the Note 4 would blow the G3 away so I thought you were set on it. I had Galaxy phones and the Note 2 but got tired of the same design. I'm thinking on trying the Note 4 but still happy with my G3. Also thinking on the Z3 just because it's something different. Last 3 phones were LG G2, Flex and G3. Also thought about iPhone 6 but that probably won't happen.

Like mgbote and many others aren't that impressed with the Note 4. Not saying I won't try it but I don't think any phones coming out these days blow even last years phones away. Not much change. Imo

Iphone might bend in ur pocket lol

i thought about the M8 but i couldnt get over two simple things that bugged me, first i didnt feel the screen size was sufficient because of the htc logo on the bottom took too much space and second was the camera, i have a toddler and i need to film everything.... maybe that rumored htc m8-eye..... or nexus x if its not 5.9' size.
so much to love about the G3 as well, if business picks up here in the following month i wont feel the pressure to jump one more time.
love the feel, the size of the screen is perfect, and the bezels alone just make this easily the best looking phone of the year.
