Which is Better? Note 2 or LG Optimus G Pro?

the LG Optimus G Pro was released days ago. its got the same screen size as the note 2 but is narrower than the note 2. i wanted to tget the note 2.. but now since the optimus came out, i'm thinking about getting the optimus. which do u guys think is better and why?

I would go with the LG
Newer hardware. Better display. Etc.

Do you intend to use the spen? If yes, get the note 2 or wait for the note 3.
I do IT work and always used to write notes in a notebook or quick notes on post-its. When I needed the info later I would have to waste time thumbing through a notebook or looking for a sticky note that I'd lost. Now, everything gets stored on my note and is readily available later.

i would go for the note 2 for sure. all the things that you can do on LG, now you are able to do it with note 2. using Android Paranoid Halo the new version. I bought note 2 because i am in IT business as well and take notes and do many quick things on note 2. Anyway thats my opinion hope it help you.
Good Luck

Mods are probably too busy to delete a single post that really has not broken any rules. When I decide on two phones I .... Read. I compare the specs side by side. Go to the store and play with both. Then I think about how I use the phone and then make the decision based on what I read and how the phone worked in person.

If price is not an issue, then go with the optimus. It has a slightly faster CPU, higher resolution screen, and a better camera

One me variable. If you like to ROM and play with your phone avoid lg. They rarely have much dev support si in sure the Optimus g will be the same

I would say the LG honestly. Way faster, better display, fits in your hand better. Overall just a better phone honestly. I have had the note 2 and just got the LG and I love the LG a lot more.

I have had nothing but terrible luck with LG.
For me, I would stick with what has worked and had awesome experience with Samsung products.
I know the Nexus 4 has sold well, but is vanilla.
I guess the best bet is to head to store and try each one out.
I don't believe the battery last as long in the Optimus G either.

So u prefer the optimus pro or not? Cause u said u regret your choice at the end.

I would take the Note 2. Literally everything in my house is Samsung. Didn't have too good of a history with LG. And plus, I'm Korean. Got to support! Lol. Spec wise, LG, but I just prefer the Note 2.

i want the LG but its on at&t. i'm on tmobile prepaid.. i'm willing to switch carriers since i'm on prepaid. but since i'm in nyc, is at&t as good as tmobile in terms of call quality? i dont want to see myself on at&t and go near a window to make calls. i want to be able to make calls from anywhere in my house like i'm doing now on tmobile. do let me know!

After the T-Mobile G2x [LG] I will never buy another LG phone. Terrible device. Terrible CS. Terrible updates. Wait until the there's a little more info on the phone.

[Q] Help! Is the Optimum app compatible w/ the G Pad 8.3????

I live in nyc in an Optimum (Cablevision) area and want to buy this tablet as an XMAS gift to replace a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 for my fiance. About 75% of her usage of the tablet is to watch live TV via the Optimum app.
We know the Optimum app is not compatible/available for all Android tablets. Seeing as the G Pad 8.3 is new, I'm concerned I'll buy this tablet and the Optimum app will not be available for it. Can somebody who has the app please let me know??
1. Is the Optimum app compatible/available in Play store (I don't do rooting...I'm scared of it lol) for install to the G Pad 8.3? And note I'm not talking about the Optimum DVR manager but rather the Optimum app that allows you to watch live TV when you are home via the app.
2. If it is compatible, does it work well?
Thank you thank you thank you to anyone who can help!! :cyclops:

Anyone???
Can somebody just go to the Google Play store on their G Pad 8.3 and tell me if they see the Optimum app there? If it's not available yet, it wouldn't show up.
A little help, dudes!

Maybe the GPE is compatible? If you are looking for 8inch tab, the Tab 3 8.0 is pretty good. Just an opinion.

Any chance somebody who is an Optimum customer can give it a shot one more time and try running the app. I'm being told by people on Android Central that the app works perfectly fine on their G Pad 8.3.
This weekend is buying weekend for me so I need to figure this out.
Thanks! Happy Holidays!

I bought that Tronsmart for $30. I know Chromecast may enable screen mirroning at some point, but the extended display looks very useful to me to use with my notebook. Anyway, I live in Brazil, so it's gonna take a couple of mounths to arrive here..

That's miracast speed, nothing we can do, really. I saw somewhere Asus is making a "gaming" model that uses a dual-band wireless to get instant mirroring.

I just ordered the Lenovo WD100-SL, will post again and update whether if it works when I receive it. It's supposedly compatible with android 4.2.2 and above.

I have the rocketfish receiver and it works on all my devices on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz but on the moto x it only works on 2.4ghz. Shame because 5ghz has better picture , no artifacts, and if you mirror on 5ghz you can still use 2.4 for WiFi for streaming .

Speaking of the rocketfish receiver, it looks like it's been discontinued. I was going to order it and couldn't find it for sale anymore.

From what I understand, miracast in general kind of sucks because of the poor standardization across brands/devices. I have a lenovo laptop, and I'm hoping the dongle I ordered will work with the laptop's widi feature, as well as my moto x and nexus 7. :fingers-crossed:

yeah thats mostly true but i've used the rocketfish with nexus 7 1st gen (modded to work) nexus 7 FHD, galaxy s3, galaxy s4, and moto x and only had issues with moto x on 5ghz

I just got a Netgear PTV3000 in the mail yesterday, it works well with the Moto X.
Have not had a chance to put it through the paces but was able to briefly test it out on a 32" 720p HDTV.
Screen mirroring looked sharp enough, also tried Netflix and it looked decent but not as "HD" as I would expect, not sure if it was Netflix bandwidth or Miracast itself being the limiting factor. I'll load VLC on the phone this weekend and try playing a local HD file to see what it looks like.

Got the Lenovo WD100 today. Works well with both my moto x and nexus 7. Ironically does not work with my lenovo win 7 laptop... go figure.

In my opinion, they should let the user use all of the internal storage space (except some gigs that android OS use).

I don't remember if it came rooted out of the box, but I think no, cause I remember using framaroot to root it.

Yeah mine wasn't rooted debating whether to do as I had experience with Chinese firmwares before, still got a momo8 bird that boot loops if you try and change io from noop to anything, funny thing is it was originally cfq but when I used supercharger the first time it reccomended noop now when I flash from PC still noop,

This Is A Great Tablet Experience
Just have to say, I have had this tablet for over a year and I love it. Stock. It runs circles around my ASUS Transformer Infinity TF700t (which I had wanted for some time) but it is slow and clunky compared to my A3000. Highly recommend the A3000. I use it for social media, personal email, and news apps. I put movies and music on a 64GB microSD card for travel. Works awesome.

I've been using stock rom for about 2 years, IMO it was a bloat malware injected.
You'll see the huge difference of internet data usage when u start using @Olivier 's CM11 relatively.
But u should manage to gain root another way from framaroot cuz it wont work in cm11 & find a workaround to get ~16gb partition back.

G pad 8.3 to tab pro 8.4......

Hi guys I have a black g pad running cm11 which I'm very happy with BUT I also have a note 3 in black that I'm even more happier with.... So is it worth the upgrade to a black pro 8.4 ? I'm hoping there are users here who have made this exact jump and who could share their experience. Cheers guys.

I miss a lot of the LG apps but yes, it's worth the switch. The screen is far brighter (my biggest peeve with the gpad when watching movies). While I totally love my gpad and will miss it, the screen was an issue. The screen is bright and wonderful on the tab pro 8.4, as is the performance and battery life.

Same as cmscritic. I too loved my G Pad but the screen brightness (especially with movies) was a drawback to me. I also have the Note 3 and the Pro 8.4 looks just like a blown up version with new ui. Another build of Cm11 was released today and it looks like he fixed bluetooth so I'm fixing to give that a try. Go with the Pro , you'll never look back

I honestly don't know whether or not it works on any UK tab pro 8.4s. I know that there are 3 hardware revisions and the latest one definitely won't work (they have different kernel source for the USA vs. European editions) but otherwise the source code is looking the same. I'm going to try to get them all working soon.
At some point, I'll be asking for brave people to test builds that I can't myself test.
