Is anyone considering the Nexus4?

Would that actually be a step backwards?

No LTE? How 2010..

I was looking at it (virtually) briefly but what draws me to the Note II is the S-pen functionality. No other phone except maybe the Note I offers that at the moment. So there's not really any comparison out there!

Lack of external sd slot kind of sucks

1+ and the screen is too small. I, personally find it difficult using phones with screen sizes smaller than the original galaxy note after using that device for over 6 months.

I've had this phone for a week now and looking at my old iphone disgust me lol. It looks so small and ****y.

No LTE, no removable battery, no MicroSD... it's like an iPhone desperately trying to be Android. No thanks.

Indeed. It is a horrible trend. Losing features and options we had before...why even go back like that , just plain dumb.

i have one on the way; i use 2 phones one for work and the other for personal stuff and i want to see how the N4 compares to my S3 (e.g., to be the personal phone). that is, how it compares in person in every day use. i've used the previous Nexus devices only to give the S and GN to my kids because of the low in-call volume. (i still have the N1 in pristine condition). the shortcomings you guys mentioned definitely weigh against the N4 being "my" second phone, but the only way for me to be sure is to try it out.

Considering the device costs half as much as the Note 2 on the play store I'm sure plenty of people will find it an attractive product regardless of the lack of external sd, removal battery, LTE, etc. Also because it's a Nexus device Google will likely support it for a long time to come.
That being said, had I the option of both devices and price wasn't an issue, I would take my Note 2 any day.

Please create a thread on your thoughts comparing both even though most would say no comparison lol.
Also, I thought nexus was suppose to have difference devices from different companies.

well... not sure if i'm getting mine now. got the "back-order" email and then an email that said it should ship today without tracking numbers. if it doesn't ship by Friday, i'll cancel and stick with the SGS3 & GN2. can't go wrong with that combo.

That's a badass combo for sure... Probably the two best phones on the market to date. I too had ordered the N4 and got that email and just canceled and went with the Note 2 and could not be happier. Looking back, I just got caught up in the hype... would have been a huge mistake to go from the One X to that phone.

Love this phone

I have owned literally EVERY high end android device that has been available in the US. Even some that haven't for that matter. But this is by far the best device i've ever owned. It excels in every area. The display is phenomenal, the specs are top notch, and the real world use is where it should be considering the power this thing flaunts. As far as smoothness and fluidity go it's in a league of its own. I've had the note 2, i've had the one x+, I've had the dna, and they cant even hold a candle to this device. All we need now is for some of the awesome devs we have to pump out some JB ROM's and we're golden. The dev support is there though. With all those things considered, I'm going as far as to say this is the best phone ever made IMHO. Thoughts anyone?

At my school they know my word is golden- I have the best phone available, and nobody else has it. I love being a tech geek. But really, If youre not on sprint or verizon you should just get a nexus 4. Its almost the same thing, but better software side. Also, not many people like LG so not as many users (or devs) as we would like. JB is on its way though. I tried a few methods along with other devs, and well get eventually.

Before I made up my mind on this phone I did a little research..I read so many articles downing this phone..the UI seemed cartoonish..unable to access the battery..no microSD slot..how it had great specs "but"
Man they really missed it on this one
I agree, this phone is truly amazing and I'm certain with its international releases it won't take long for the word to spread

Don't agree. Once we had 2 gig's of RAM and 1.5ghz quad core in a phone they pretty much locked future proof in the bag.

Severely doubt that rumor. Samsung is Android's Apple. They will bump as minimally as possible to sell the next model. Quad core, 2gb ram, 16gb storage. Book it.
This phone is the best on the market outside of the Nexus 4. If we can get past this bootimg bull**** from Sprint and LG we'll have a really fun phone. HTC Evo had a very slow takeoff as well, and before you knew it there were too many roms. We're almost there and I love it.

Best phone ive ever had by by far! Love everything about it! Glad i didnt get the note 2. The pro is going to be pimp to.

I can honestly say this is he best I've had so far. At first I was considering the iPhone 5, but too many people at my job had it. Did a lot of research on this phone and saw a lot of people bashing it before it even came out. When the phone was released I went to sprint to get a feel for he phone and they didn't even have it on display! No love was given to this phone at first. I took the leap and bought it at bestbuy anyway. Best decision I made as far as picking a phone. My brother got the gs3 and when I showed him my phone he liked the lgog more. Not to mention his phone is always on the charger as opposed to mine lol. Glad this phone is getting some love tho.

At my school (I'm a teenager) everyone has either iPhones or Galaxy or an older android. No one honestly has the Optimus G, as far as I can see.
And everyone is like "I LOVE YOUR PHONE!!!" I am very happy I got this phone.
At first I didn't want it with rumors being LG wasn't the greatest and....no removable backing. But I bought it and it was the best decision ever.
Only thing that would make it better is if the JB update came to my area already

I was getting tired of the sgs3 regarding updates. 5.0 will come soon and we aren't even on 4.2 . once I had the nexus which I got as a replacement due to Tmobile not having sgs3 in stock ( don't ask weird situation). I realized I missed the drop down toggles and how quick it was to silent the phone. There's also no WiFi calling which is only important to me at work since I work in the basement and need to have for my wife and emergency calls. Also lack of SD which I though wasn't going to be an issue is. I hate having to transfer all my pictures and the ones that don't fit I'd rather not have stored on the cloud. I guess aside from getting quick updates and vanilla android, its not such an upgrade for me. It us for others but the sgs3 is more my style for the features that I use it for. :/. Getting a brand new one from Tmobile at non cost due to what happened. I do have to return the n4 though but I think I won in this situation.

I love T-Mobile :highfive:

I think I would rather buy the HTC one over the S4

Tmobile fb just announce s4. Next week baby

Just wondering what the s4 will do that my s3 can't?

I've never been a fan of LG devices... but this is one I might just be tempted to get...

I knew the Adreno 330 was going to be a beast of a chip but I had no idea it would clock like THAT!
Its a T-Mobile build too... Note the build fingerprint... "lge/g2_tmo_us"
One way or another I'm waiting for Snapdragon 800 devices to drop later this year before upgrading... That's just insane!

S4
Thinking of upgrading from S3 to S4.... Is it worth the money ?????

Early reports say no... And the bootloader is locked as well. They managed to root it but it may be awhile before custom ROMs can be installed. Battery life is worse than the One as well (its marginally better than the battery life of the S3 by early accounts).
If you have an S3, I would recommend waiting at least until Google I/O to see what they have up their sleeves... The Snapdragon 800 devices are coming this year and they look to be beasts... Hell do a Google on "LG D801" and see what I mean...
Tegra 4i is coming too. Its too early to jump into another device in my opinion - the S3 just has so much life left in it.

Point taken, I think i'll wait for a while and will also check out the LG, besides I am addicted to flashing Custom Roms ..... by the way the toggle 2g app is pretty good for conserving Battery, I have a very heavy Phone usage that includes 4 Email Accounts set on Push and several hours of call time daily and still the battery lasts me the whole day and that app alone is reason enough for me to stay away from phones that are still under early stages of Rom Development. Thanks for the Fast response btw

Note 2 dropped in the water, looking for a new device

Hey guys!
As it happens, my Note 2 is now feeding crabs in Mediterranean sea.
I've had a long journey with that phone, got a couple of extended batteries for it, a case, a protection glass and was not planning to change for at least another year, but as it happens, now I need to go for another device.
At first it was a no-brainer to go for Note 3 because of it's similarities, but I've checked the other phones and I'm really intrigued by Nexus 5 and LG G2
Basically, just want to hear what you guys think on this...how much can I get a used Note 2 for, btw?

How do you like your LG?

So I am about to start my new job with At&t in 2 weeks which will bring me into a universe I'm not familiar with. I have been on Verizon FOREVER! So my boss told me that my first phone is on the house I really like the Note 3 but I'm guessing the bootloader is locked up tight just like it is over on Verizon. So I guess i'm just fishing for info. I think the optimus G pro is what im leaning towards. So if it's not too much trouble let me know what you think about it. Thanks for your input ahead of time!

Fun phone.

NOTE 3 IS THE WAY
Sent from my LG-E980h using xda app-developers app

While I don't have a OGP, the only gripe about LG is the slow official software and the custom UI seems overly done but otherwise, I think it a lovely phone.

Note 3 is greater in performance and hardware, so I advice that, well there should be easier ways to unlock bootloader on note3 forum link. Our OGP is good but not enough for 2014 standards(a week away).

I traded my s4 for a g pro and couldn't be happier. it's a great phone with great battery life on stock and custom roms. also very easy to root and install cwm.

Thanks for all the input guys. Before I became a flashaholic choosing a phone was easy. Now I have consider things like bootloaders and rooting. I don't know if I could ever just use a stock phone again.

I have my OGP e988 (Taiwanese) for couple of weeks now. I like the stock rom it has all the value pack stuff already, no real need to root since I'm not sure how to (so many conflicting experiences). The things that bother me though are overheating (not really HOT but warmer than I'd like it to be), plus I don't know how to check the temperatures (only battery temp is shown in apps) and what I really hate so far is the camera - a significant framedrom in dark environment (I dunno if I'm doing something wrong). This is my first Android phone so I'm still a noob (haven't figured out how to wipe the dalvik and other caches). What I LOVE about the phone is the battery, the screen and everything else.

Lol can't agree more. Coming from galaxy nexus initially i did feel a bit uneasy with the Ogpro forum cause every other rom was for a different version of Ogpro(e980,988,986,f240). Lg is crazy i should say.. One international gsm version n one cdma version should be the norm kinda like samsung.

Sent from my AOSP on LGE-E988 using Tapatalk

Did a whole lot of research before buying the OGP, myself. I came from the AT&T LG Optimus G which was converted to a Nexus 4. I was stuck between this, the S4 or waiting for the Note 3. Ultimately, the OGP won, as you can see. After playing with a Note 3 I can safely say that I'm way more than satisfied with my purchase. I noticed no speed increase between the OGP and Note 3 and I run my phone at 1.1GHz. The Note 3 is also waaaaay too bulky. I have big hands and can't even keep a good grip on that thing with 1 hand. No worries with the OGP and texting 1handed is a breeze. We might not have that big of a community but what we have works. As far as failed flashes, I think it depends on what recovery you're using. Had loads of problems until I switched to Madmack's hacked TWRP. Haven't had a problem since and that was months ago.
