Depends on the reason and if custom roms and such are important to you.
If you want custom roms, i would say no.
If you want a bigger screen I would say yes.
I trade my GNoteII and way too much money worth of accessories for the Ogp. Couldn't be happier.
Was gonna get the htc, but i cant live w/o removable battery so i picked Ogp...and its awesome!

Came from HTC One. Only thing I miss is the amazing speakers.

correction, if you are a flashaholic then no, but cm10.1 is in the works and other custom roms will follow
Yes there will be stable cm some time.
I came from a HTC One. I loved the One but I am a phone whore. Honestly I miss blinkfeed but that's about it. The One is a great phone but I found the screen size too small. I had a note 2 and love it but it was hard to hold and the screen was substandard. The screen on the ogp is gorgeous and their UI is fast and extremely customizable out of the box. And though it is a 5.5 inch screen, the design of the phone and the thinner bezel make it much easier to hold. Battery life was iffy at first but after a few days it hunkered down and I can easily get through a day with 3+ hours of screen time.
I don't think I'll ever buy another Samsung phone again but we will see about HTC. The One Maxx has my interest peaked. But overall the ogp is the best phone nobody knows about.

I've also sold of my htc one, which I really liked and bought OGP. Awaiting delivery at the moment using Xperia zl which I'm fed up of, it lags crashes.
I'm going to miss htc one speakers, aluminium unibody, browser and LCD 3 screen which is the best and custom roms.
I'm looking forward to bigger screen, ext micro sd, home button notification light, camera, removal bigger battery,

Financially you made a better choice. If you plan on keeping one phone for a couple years, the ogp is probably a better choice, but at&t dropping the full retail value so much is absolutely killing us folks who swap phones every month or two.

Someone wants to trade me a stock rooted LG Optimus G Pro tomorrow. I'm thinking about doing it. Because I see a lot of lag on the S4 but it's still a good phone. What should I do?

Depends which is worth more if money is not a concern then swap. LG is more appealing, personally I would not buy S4 nor swap OGP with S4. S4 is one of the most overrated phones.

It's up to u but I would do the trade in a heartbeat. You have had Both phones correct? If so than don't worry about what people say and go with what u like the best, I personally love the og pro and am glad I traded my note 2 for it. Best trade I've made in a while.

Agree fully. For me too. OGP was a hidden Diamond.
I would have never bought this if not have got great deal on it.
But now after OGP have decided to keep samsung out of home until they give any great phone to market.
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've been thinking about the 8 inch version of this tablet for about a month. Bought one in Australia for my Mum and she loves the pants off it (her first tablet).
There's a special on at the moment in NL which brings it down to 200 euros which is a fairly decent price, but I also have the option of picking up a 2012 Nexus 7 new for 170. I've read some really terrible things about the 2013 nexus 7 and a fair few complaints about build quality on the 2012 version. I'm a student and if I buy something, it needs to genuinely last for a good two years (preferably more) to be worth the cost. Have you guys been happy with the quality of your devices?
I have noticed that there isn't much development for this device. Is this just because root has only recently been found? Or is there not much interest because of the Nexus family? I've always focused on development in buying devices and it's helped me squeeze four years out of my HTC Desire bravo and three years out of a friend's Galaxy S i9000.
So essentially what I'm asking is, does it seem like development might pick up in the future, and if not, is the quality of the device high enough that it would be worth trading off development potential? Sorry to ask such a general question, but I'm tearing my hair out trying to make a decision while the nexus 7 2012 is still in stock.
Thanks in advance!

same here. I got the Tab 3 8.0 and I love it. But now I want the LG 8.3. I already have a plan to give my tab to my daughter since she plays with ti and get the LG. But I'll wait for a sale on it.
ROMs Available
Are there ANY roms other than AOSP? I can't even find a Cyanogenmod or AOKP for this device :/
I see that some customers are complain about screen brightness on the LG is dull. Compare to Samsung

I had the Nexus 7 2012 and currently have the GTab 3 8.0. I had no problems whatsoever with the Nexus. It was a good tablet. I just found the screen dark and cramped. I love the GTab 3 8.0. So it's not "retina". Big deal. The screen is crisp and bright and looks great to me. The tablet runs smooth and fast.
Honestly between those two models it's between screen size and whether having an SD slot is important to you. They are both great tablets.
Would you change your tab 3 8.0 for a LG pad?

Just picked up a N7 (2013) 2 days ago, and I gotta say one thing.. NFC is AWESOME! This tablet is the PERFECT size for one handed use, and I love the fact that they're both running CM11. It's perfectly sized to fit in my pocket, and the screen is on par with the OGP! (I like the OGP screen a tad better, but the N7's screen is pretty close)
It's a great companion for my phone, as I hotspot my OGP and watch movies on it, and browse the web, and can I say again NFC is awesome!
If you pick one up, you will NOT be disappointed!

I was aware that this was the 'General' section of the LG Optimus G Pro, meaning I may post off related topics. If I am not mistaken, there was a thread on the topic of trading the Nexus 5 for the G Pro.
Please bring the flame to another thread. I am simply sharing my findings with this forum, on the compatibility of the two devices, and the usefulness of having the two of them.

That's great man, I have a Nexus 10 running Slim and I do the same with the OG Pro, set it up as a hotspot and connect my Nexus mostly for Tapatalk and G+, I have the DPI density in the Nexus down to 268, and in the G Pro at 380 and they both look great.
Thanks for sharing.

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.
