So I've got the chance to sell my Play and to buy a new phone, is it worth?
I can only buy phones up to 300€, I'm thinking about an Arc S but then going from outdated to outdated isn't that good plus I can't use touchscreen gaming controls... There's also Nexus S has an option but I think the Arc S camera and design is the most appealing thing for me. What do you think?
Galaxy Nexus?

Already ordered from that website, you can trust it.

That's the one I'd like most but it costs way more and I'm really on low budget
Edit: that isn't too expensive, can I really trust it? You're keeping your Play right? We need your awesome developments in here!

Yeah I'll never sell my play, I ordered a Akai turntable from there, arrived home 2 days after!
If the Xplay hadn't existed, or I had enough moneyto have two phones, I'd buy a Galaxy Nexus, especially because it's the lastest official phone from Google and it's the first one to get Jelly Bean, the best mobile os ever.
If you are really poor, just consider buying a Huawei one, I've heard they are cheap.

I'm not "really poor" and I'm happy with XPlay but I wanted a phone with more updated software and specs and since I bought Play this year it's hard for me to buy another phone.

Hi,
To cut the long story short I have come out with the idea of separate forum for Indian users so as to better understand the issues and also to have tight and easy context to our problems.
Withi a week of buying this phone, I had to visit service centre. It never happend with my any other previous phones. Obivoulsy this is becasuse of locked bootloader and stupid stone-age problmes in LG Flash tool like "low battery error"
Anyway, lets discuss all development and flashing related aspects of this version over here. Hope this benefits all.
FInally, Moderators may feel to redirect or route to alternatives, if any. Thank you.
Its a nice thought but Indian Optimus G pro users are already minority among the very limited user base of the Optimus G pro. I only wish more people knew about this amazing phone. For 27k INR its a steal nowadays.
For starters check out the stickies thread from the android development side. Its an amazing guide for the e988 based users. Helped me a lot.

I kinda broke my original battery back cover and m finding it quite difficult to get one. The service center people are out of stock, said they'll inform me as soon as they get it but its been almost 20 days now.
Any idea where i can get one.

Yes. I have disabled security before flashing recovery. I have flashed recovery through freegee app itself. After that the phone got into bootloop. After that I could not get it started. Tried flashing stock ROM through lg flashtool.but always got stuck due to low battery error. So finally went to service centre.

and cromaretail is selling the 32gb version for that price, i got the 16gb one at that price fom flipkart that too cashback i will get in jan.
And i guess price drop is because of being stuck in 4.1.2, while buyin most dont care for roms just the current stock version
Ordered it from croma today, the black one went out of stock so had to settle for the white one.
Upgrading from Lg Optimus 2x after using it for 2 years.
Man it's very tough to find G Pro in retail stores, searched em all in Koramangala/Forum side even the much Hyped Google/spice "AndroidLand Store" didnt have it , only univercell had it , no one else not even croma itself , Lg Phone's distribution n/w is real poor in India ,speaking from previous experience, if any storekeeper has LG you'll only find G pro lite or G2 ,
I ordered for 24,500 from croma retail , it's a loot considering the specs but i am pretty sure we wont see the Android update atleast for the next 6 months if at all , same thing happened with Optimus 2x but atleast Lg did provide it with Stable ICS some good months later. With not much of a difference b/w release dates of G,G pro ,G2 and Lg never calling G pro their Flagship , I seriously doubt any updates , but still those specs for that price is awesome.
I Flashed CM on my Optimus 2x the day i bought it , I hope this time around i use Stock a bit more
only thing from my wishlist that this phone didnt fulfill was Dual sim and LTE that would work in India but then no expensive phone had dual sim and No one knows India's LTE bands with sureity

Croma lists it as 4G lte and 32gb internal model, its diff from the indian model we have sen in general
Although for the Chinese market, I would love to get my hands on one here in NYC to see how it turned out compared to their Winblows based devices.
I got it ... Its nice in look ... But I just found that the headset is not working ... I just tried to use iPhone headset but doesn't !
i got one.
@ran816 the headset is working after an update (a couple of updates ago)
Does anyone know where to import one from? I really want one but I don't want to pay $450 off ebay for one.

I agree...I'd like to get one as well but buying it on eBay would be a ripoff. Anyone have any good info on how to get one in the US for closer to cost?

Yeah, I tried asking all of the sellers if they would accept any offers but they all said no. I'm willing to pay 300+ shipping which is reasonable considering that's a 20% profit for them give or take. I just can't justify that much of a markup for something without a good reason. It should he released in Spain/UK soon anyway.
I had a Nexus 9 but I wasn't a big fan. I liked my Nexus 7 2013 more than the 9 by far. I used to also have a LG GPad 8.3 and I loved it until I broke it. I'm hoping this will be a good tablet to fill the Gpads slot now that I'm tablet less (unless my Nexus 6 is a tablet )

Where do they ship from? Are they a reputable vendor? I realize other members have bought one from them but I'd rather be on the safe side
I bought a Nokia N1 about a week ago from China. Already got 4 system updates. Out of the box was 5.0.2. Latest build number is A5CN410.
The build quality is unbelievable for the price range. Not to mention the screen. Only one issue, no Google Play Services, yet.
I bought the nokia n1 on this site: smartophone.com
it works very well, but still not google apps !
Nokia N1 ,Chinese Edition.
I've got one ,but it sucks by now,'cause it ships without google service,a lot of apps works incorrectly on it .
I bought mine on Amazon...Google Play Store right out of the box. Be sure you get the Taiwan version!
Loving it so far!

Please check the OnePlus One forum on XDA and their website. People here and there have so much info on what is wrong with the device and also the company, and the support they are willing to provide.

Lol, the people I know using 1+1 are praising it so much it's ridiculous. I got the G4 and immediately they told me their 1+ is as good as the G4 for less money but we all know what the situation really is.
And for the OP, I came from the Z1 to the G4. The Z1 and G4 can't even be compared, G4 is far more superior than the Z1. My speaker mesh on the Z1 fell off, a hatch fell off, my mic quit working, the AUX quit working and the phone lagged all day every day...
if camera is your priority, then definitely yes.
if you want a premium looking phone, this isn't really one though you can still try the leather version which looks gorgeous. The non-leather version is as plastic as you can get among all the flagship phones now, and I don't like it.
Even though the plastic back is available i believe most people go for the leather back. If not i still feel as it is a high end phone.

This phone looks very promising to me. Looks like I'lI be getting it very soon. I hope this device will get a decent support in terms of development. I still has my g3 osprey which has extreme support. All hail to mainly @Alberto97 and @squid2. And also other devs obviously for the support.
I hope some of devs will get it. Alberto and squid just out of curiosity i want to ask you guys are you getting this device?
I hope this device will be getting some love from our talented devs out here.
Already booked , getting my 4gb variant by coming monday. Expecting same as above
peace
I do plan on getting this device and supporting it, along with the basic (non-plus) G5. I don't know if Alberto will be getting the G5, but he already has the Z Play which shares the same processor, so we'll probably be doing a common tree for the basic G5, G Plus, and Z Play.

Off Topic: Guys bought the phone on the release day, and it's amazing !! Do not get heat, The battery is very good, The charger is really fast, the performance is amazing too. In general I recomend it, and I think that lots of Rom will came because it is selling well, the shop assistant said that, it was the most sold phone in the week. As it is a Motorola, all basic steps to dead with it is known.

Nether, in Brazil the only official version is the 2bg. But it don't get lag any time, all the time multitasking is working very well, all apps are running in second plan, but it don't use lot of Ram. I'm surprised swith that. The Oficial SWAP memory is 511mb, with 100% of swipeness
