This is a thread to come and relax and hangout in.
This is no NSFA so not posting of anything nude/rude/obnoxious.
This is a place to have fun and get to know your fell optimus users.
If you choose to not follow the rules you can and will be infracted or banned and I am always watching
Enjoy and have fun
No being obnoxious? Aww
The Optimus G looks freaking LEGIT.
The fact that its almost got 2x the processing speed as the S3 or OneX is mind blowing.
Just wish the AT&T version had the 13MP camera too
&& Anyone else feeling that the battery (2100mAh) is a bit too small?
can't wait to get my hands on it, the sprint version :laugh:
More Revenues/Profit = More Support? Hope so....
Good article on reuters regarding LG latest quarterly earnings, could be a good sign for us who will be buying the Optimus G. I have to admit, I have owned a LG device before (Nitro HD), and I eventually got rid of it - too many reasons to list. However, with more revenue and trending growth I hope LG will realize the opportunity they have gain valuable market share and will put these increased revenues to good use - namely to make a better effort to support their flagships with appropriate and timely updates.....time will tell, but i'm willing to take my chances on this device - specs are just too good. Fingers crossed.....
FYI i would post the link but it wont let me b/c im a new user.....if you go to Reuters and search "LG electronics" - the news article is titled "LG Electronics boosts smartphone sales as rivals fade"
Love the site btw...
thx
hi, can someone test the 10bit MKV playback on optimus g? can it handle the video well?
10BIT? Piece of cake man
This forum vs the AT&T and Sprint forums
I know the mods have deemed this forum "NOT AT&T OR SPRINT GO AWAY" but I'm hoping they don't delete future posts about either of these phones here... even though we have a phone on a different carrier doesn't necessarily mean the knowledge and comments won't apply. I know for instance the sprint and international have the same body style.
What does anyone else think?
Att/sprint versions of the G have their own forum section, thats why it was prohibited in the general.
good day! F180L-will it work in Russia? can I receive calls?
Should work with the frequencies matching
sorry did not say: interested in networks gsm (mts, beeline, tele2)
good machine
nice
Just tried the update check, instead of usual "No updates" it says the update server is unavailable.
Hope that means the 4.1 is on its way
thx
Just see so much sorry in this thread,what are talking about?

So LG lied, as always?

that's normal
I am not expecting any update til 2013Q2
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I don't post much. I'm just wondering why no support on this site? I mean we have a few guys on Android Forums making progress, but with so many more people on here, with even much more detailed and extensive experience, I find it hard to believe it doesn't have a category of its own, especially considering that 8 local MetroPCS stores can't keep them in stock. Every place I went to find one for my mother, told me they sell out the same day they arrive? What are the chances that one of the MOD's could hook up us neglected Optimus F6 users? I know a lot of the guys on AF would like to have some more options than what the capable, yet few developers over there are putting out. Could anyone enlighten me as to why we don't have a forums over here, considering the volume of the phones out there, the good price, and multiple possibilities that await some intricate experience?
With this being my first samsung smartphone i have purchased AND plan to hold onto, The build quality is amazing! I am thoroughly impressed, my previous device was the LG G3 and after 3yrs of having LG devices (Optimus G, G2, G3) i believe this was a great change of pace. Can't wait to see what the dev community can come up with for the screen edges.
Welcome to Samsung.
Let's try to keep the general threads combined for topics like this, thanks!
Closing this one down.

How is great not good enough?
I'd love a great device. Some reviewers are just downright picky, but that one made no sense.

I was talking to my coworker about the same thing the title makes no sense, that why I highlighted it in my first post.
The author commented in his review and said something like TLDR: This phone would have been great in 2014 but not in 2016
The Verge is weird.
Best Reviews I've Found
The best I've found are here:
http://bgr.com/2016/04/14/htc-10-review/
and here, where they call it "the most powerful smartphone in the world":
http://bgr.com/2016/04/14/htc-10-benchmark-test-results-comparison/
The BGR.com website is normally a group of very big iPhone fanboys.
Just updated the original post, according to ArsTechnica, the HTC 10 is the BEST Android Flagship of 2016, impressive
i don't think the verge "review" should be considered a review, it was so obvious they didn't want to say anything good about it that they just made stuff up as they went, they barely talked about the phone and what it has, that was the most shameless attempt i have seen of attempting to put down a device i have ever seen, I used to like their stuff that but after this...

Also don't forget that the guy that created The Verge was considered the largest Apple fanboy (Joshua Topolsky) so they still have those Apple roots even though he's not associated with the site anymore. But I do agree, the one thing that they said in the review that was a real head scratcher was when they made the statement that the camera was slow, every single other reviewer claimed the opposite, it's hard to believe them in that regard.
Gizmodo thinks it's pretty awesome, though they have some harsh (but fair, IMO) words for HTC.
Seriously, HTC’s software is the best it’s ever been. Fans of stock Android will be very happy.
Battery life is stellar with guaranteed one-day battery life, and two days no problem with light to medium use.
Audio is now best in class, while the camera is no longer the worst in class
HTC’s craven desire to win over consumers means consumers actually win for a change.

The Verge reviews are pretty bad...

Android Authority's review is up:

Since when do we care about reviews from Verge or phonearena?
And Pocket Now:
http://www.pocketnow.com/2016/04/14/htc-10-review
The verge gave an it 8.0 which is a very good score. I don't see how it was a bad review. He compared it to the competition and said for its price point it doesn't stand out , that doesn't mean its a bad phone. From what I understand, If this phone doesn't get a 9.5 or a 10 its automatically a bad review lol I smell fanboyism
Im actually a fanboy for sure. Ordered on launch day. Have owned M7-9.
The comment on the Verge review which states that this phone would have been great in 2014 is what pisses me off.
Also I am typing this from my S7 Edge, which ill be giving away once the 10 gets here.

I don't think people are complaining about the review so much as the ridiculous title that makes no sense.
There's no doubt that from the get go the verge writer wanted to hate this phone which honestly doesn't add much to the credibility of this website.

he starts of by saying that the phone doesn't have any gimmicks as if that was a bad thing, and keeps speak down on it, in reviews you've to be impartial and know what you're talking about, he fails at everything a reviewer should be... watch the video again it's crap, and i never owned or own an HTC
WSJ has a "meh" review:
http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2016/04/14/htc-10-review-the-price-isnt-right/Z
ZD Net has a good review but camera is weak:
http://www.zdnet.com/product/htc-10/
Time has a good review with reservations and the camera issue again:
http://time.com/4292673/htc-10-review/
I am starting to see more and more reviews mentioning that camera is very good but doesn't hold up to the S7, despite the DXO rating. Hmmm. I think DXO is suspect as it seems they rushed out review just as it went on sale simultaneously and many reviews are quoting them. Sounds like someone "influenced" somebody and not really impartial. IMHO.

That read speed is quite low tbh. It might effect the overall phone performance :/
So when I got my Note 5 there was a plethora of items especially cases, that were being offered for review on here. Well, I don't see many for the LG V20 and was just wondering if anyone knew of any? I'm trying to get my Amazon Reviewer Feedback up and figured why not inquire about accessories for my new smartphone.
Thank you!
I have mixed feelings about those "get a freebie and leave a review gig. If I see those type of reviews on an item I am interested in I pass and move on to another item.
If you are only after those freebies, just email them ask to do a review, i've had many from here, but rejected them, they look at your past record in this forum and contact you through PM.
