Odp: Buying LG Optimus L9
It is good phone. Everything is good apart camera. It record fluently and fine but photos are average. It can be better if devs will come.
Sent from my LG-P760 using xda app-developers app
I'm using my L9 (P760) for more than two weeks already, I can say only the best about this phone. The processors are great, I'm really surprised for its performance even running games like Vice City, it performs almost the same as the Galaxy S3.
The battery is also great, it lasts for one day using it heavily (music, calls,messaging, web browsing, games, etc) without a problem.
Design - it looks very minimalistic, I love that. I have the white version, the only reason I picked white color was that the screen (when it's turned off) looked cheap for the black version, I mean the screen is a bit brighter, more like grey when comparing to the phone color it self, but for white it isn't noticeable. I hope you got what I wanted to say.
Camera could be better, but remember it's a 5mp camera, so the results are actually very good, + it captures 1080p Full HD videos.
Sony Xperia P is a good alternative for that price, but it doesn't have Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, the screen is smaller - 4 inches, weaker battery, though it has a 8mp camera and HDMI.
To conclude, I recommend you to buy the L9. In my opinion, it's the best phone in that price range.

I bought my LG 2 months ago, its quied decent device. The best thing about that phone it is performance. I was comparing with my friends Atrix 4g, Tegra 2, 1GB ram, smaller screen but same resolution, gues what :laugh: we compared the devices on Asphalt 7, tegra 2 was realy slower and have worse graphics, no reflections , no blur efect on nitro etc. LG put inside very good CPU/GPU TiOmap 4430/SGX540. In normal every day use u get one of the best phones, calls are realy loud and clear i have to lover volume because every time i talk i think i have loundspeaker on. We have here 2nd mic for noise cancelation and it works realy good you can talk even outside when wind blows.
It have only 4GB build in memory ant that is the bigges dissadvantage, u get for apps only 2,3gb, and without root ur still unable to move apps to sd card.
Updates : It looks like LG have changed few things i get 3rd update atm (v10c,e,g) in 2 months, we are looking in the future for possible JB update.
Summary : In that price range is the best smartphone u can get, battery life is very good, display is realy good, colours are vibrant and it is realy bright. U get WiFi Direct , DLNA conectivity, NFC, and one of the best UI on the market atm. Camera Could be better but it still enough good in this price.
Strong Dual Core SmartPhone (almost phablet 4,7 inch), almost forgot about QuickMemo its realy handy, u can make screenschot of ur display and draw or write anything u want. Good gaming performance. For normal use u dont need anything more.
JUST BUY IT , my advice.:laugh:

On lg site it have exactly the same specyfication like p760, i think it is region specyfic product.
p768 is little different due to fact it have 8mp camera, and p769 have little smaller screen 4,5inch and the camera is placed centered on the back not ont the left side like 760/765/768.
Every one have the same spec 4gb build in memory 1gb of ram and tiomap 4430 1ghz dual core procesor
I didn't know where else to ask - so - how's video playback guys?
Can it play 1080p video files? If it can, are they laggy, missing fps or so?
And i suppose it can play 720p without problems?

What do you mean by no light sensor? You mean the message led light that blinks when you have a message? Or are you talking about the light sensor that locks your phone when on a call if your face is near the screen. All L9's have a light sensor. They just don't have a led message indicator and if that makes it a junk phone then sir you are a picky person.
No light sensor as in the screen can't automatically adjust to how much light is in the room or outside. Not that big of a deal to me I guess. Then it can be adjusted by toggle on the notification bar. Keeping it on half brightness is good enough for me most of the time. The small internal storage space is probably a bigger issue.

screen brightness cannot automatically adjust with light sensor.
it is big hassle for Americans, we are driving all the time, we cannot see when it is too dark . we cannot manually adjust the brightness when driving.
Almost any modern android phones have this basic function, but L9 does NOT - what a junk.
Also, odd resolution of the screen is crazy; many app just not working correctly.
why they cannot make 1280x800 same as is brother G on same size screen

From what I've seen, nothing at this price point compares to the L9. If you want something better at this price point, I'm guessing by late March to early April we will see dual core S4 Pro devices fall in price to below 300, maybe even around 200. Who knows, maybe sooner? But if you need a phone NOW, go ahead and jump at the L9. It's pretty good.

I can tell you it can record 1080p video through its camera, and said 1080p video plays back in the standard android player quite nicely, with no signs of frame dropping, major stutters, or lagginess. I have not tried any external video, though I can't imagine it would be laggy, with how smooth stuff recorded in 1080p HD on the phone is on the playback.
Hope this helps.
ok, tnx, i'm watching movies on my phone often, so i was wondering about it since i saw relatively similar benchmarks as tegra2 with1 ghz which cannot play bigger resolution videos smoothly or even at all
From what I read, it seems that the CPU in our phones is better than the Tegra 2.

I have seen games lagging in OP1 so shud i opt for Dell XCD35 or OP1 is great ? plz help folks .!
Well, Blade has a bigger screen and a nicer resolution but the processor, ram and gpu are the same. Plus you can't say it's better-looking.
Some games are lagging on the stock ROM but if you're thinking about modding your phone, the performance issues will be solved.

Well if you really want hd games then I suggest that you should save mor money and buy a more powerful device. This one is not for hd gaming, it's a budget smartphone...
More browsing, chatting etc - ZTE Blade
Games - o1
Cos they share the same chip but Blade aka XCD35 has a higher res screen ... so what lags on o1 will lag on the Blade ... But to be honest, none of these are meant for bleeding edge gaming ...
I'm an owner of an LG P500 but i suggest you to buy ZTE Blade. I wanted to buy it but in Italy we don't have it
ZTE Blade has a nice community like LG O1? There's a lot of ROMs like the ones to O1? Buy the phone just to buy without not even a little community is not so good.
Look by this side too. Now, by the posts above, make your best decision based in what you need and the support you will receive post buy.
Keep in mind that Optimus one P500 have bad sound quality, it makes all the time a backgroud buzzing/static noise, the noise is present in the phone speaker and in the headphones. I can't use my P500 as mp3player because of the loud background noise (it doesn't have anything to do with the headphones I use).
I wish I knew before I bought it.

Never heard of that before. Mine p500 never had sound issues and either have read something like that.
this depends on your standards, maybe some people don't mind having a background noise.
the speaker background noise is not audible in noisy places like in the street.

my p500 also sounds good. i aint had any sound issues...
Well, upon looking up the Dell's specs a BIG minus strikes me:
256MB DRAM
v. all the Optimus ship with 512MB DRAM, which can make a difference.
All else being equal(i.e. same SoC), I prefer the screen size/res of the Dell...
i had/have both. I had the blade (oled screen) for about two months. The display broke while i was loading my car.
You couldn't see a scratch from the outside, it's just the displays are very sensitive and the blade has a cheap body.
Aside from the better resolution of the blade, i'm much more happy with the p500. It takes a lot more beating, seems to be a better package all together and the casing is higher quality.
The original blade has 512 MB ram, just like the p500. The newer blades only have 256 MB but some of them can be "repartitioned" to use the extra ram. However, this is dangerous and if it fails, you brick the device.
Yeah Install a customr ROM and the performance issue will be fixed. Mine was fixed.
I make u get Nexus One for 2nd hand lol...
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
Not happy about it. Wanted this phone for pretty much the entire year and I assumed that the One X+ had fixed every criticism. Disclaimer: some of the faults may just be my handset.
1) Sound quality is good, except when it comes to rock music (then it becomes atrocious). Remedied with a Fiio E6 but the bigass phone combined with an amp is really impractical to keep in the pocket.
2) Gets far too warm, it freaks me out. The whole phone gets hot. I assumed the Tegra 3+ was built with a smaller process but it's just the same 40nm process over clocked. May just be my phone but honestly the screen is sometimes a couple degrees from being too hot to comfortably hold.
3) All games have severe FPS issues. Probably fixable with a custom ROM but I'm not risking waiting.
4) Battery life is mediocre and drains during any activity that is "heavy", like 4 times more than you would want. In the battery settings menu, they ripped out the metre that tells you how much battery the screen has used. Odd. Missing the S3's removable battery a lot.
It's a shame because I quite literally think that the One X is the best looking phone of all time, and let my iPad serve as a counter measure against bias against Apple products. Apart from these niggles, the phone has been an absolute pleasure to use... But I didn't drop iPhone money on a phone just to text and browse the Internet. Will probably be begrudgingly be going back to Samsung, despite their heroic build quality and laudable marketing and business practises. The Nexus 4 is also an option too. The iPhone 5 and Lumia 920 will also be on the shortlist.
Literally been wanting this phone since the original was announced. I wholeheartedly agree that your experiences may be different. Just putting here as a warning!

Damn sorry to hear that but doing my own google research what you explained seems to all be true, not just your device. For getting warm i can understand, getting hot, there's no excuse for any company to allow this unless of course just making too many production shortcuts. Gaming is a big issue for me too since i do a lot on my iphone 4 and was planning on even doing more on this HOX+ with better processor and screen. If gaming is crap and the phone feels like a hot potato after 20min of gaming, ATT will see a very fast return on this device! Then idk what the hell to get, not impressed with the iphone 5 and Nexus with 8 or 16gb of storage is pretty sub-par, again cutting corners...

Was actually thinking Opt G hands down but bro read some hands on reviews of it! Plus it's wide as hell, at least HTC did it right with the Verizon HTC DNA coming out (butterfly J Japan version) as the 5" is taller device, not wider. Could not stand a wide tablet in my pocket all day and the build quality sounds worse than the Galaxy S3 and the camera is very sub-par quality. Personally would never purchase an LG phone in this day and age. Crap build quality, crap internals, never see carrier updates. Not worth it for me at least so not even an option.

Straight from PCmag review on Optimus G for ATT and Sprint:
One big problem: I did most of my testing with the screen brightness set to maximum. I noticed it dip considerably after about 10 or 15 minutes of benchmarking. When I checked on it in the phone's Settings, I saw the brightness level had dropped down to 66 percent. I tried to turn it back up, and got the message, "Unable to brighten more due to high temperature. Try again later." This happened on multiple occasions. Especially when using processor-intensive applications like games, the top half of the phone became increasingly warm. LG claims it has not encountered this problem, but this device, along with two test units on Sprint all showed the same behavior in our tests.
So not only does it overheat but also starts turning features off to compensate for the heat now restricting what you can do on the device. So if you're happy playing a game for 15min, stop for 15min, repeat then no prob, lol! Can't understand these companys pushing out phones that can't even play a game more than 30min without blowing up in heat????? Really don't want the iphone 5 but WTF with all these other NEWER devices coming out and their overheating issues???
It also comes shipped with Ice Cream Sandwich, not even Jellybean 4.1. They say in the coming months it SHOULD come out with an update to Jellybean 4.1 and by then everyone will already be on Jellybean 4.2 or higher, lol! Prime example on how you will get the worst carrier updates if any for the Optimus G device, epic fail on too many fronts for a new device and what a waste of that nice S4 Pro processor...
Have mine just some day, so nothing to say about battery... according to some tests it should be okay, maybe good to very good
Did a lot of copy jobs etc and my device is not getting any hot... a little warm, but not too much in any way...
Sound quality is very good, nothing to complain :good:
I like it very much, just waiting for Root only thing bothers me a bit is the lack of mass storage mode... everything else is superior to my Sony Xperia S!

Here's the thread on it. Sounds like you need to use the HTC Sync Manager on your pc for file transfers as this method recognizes your device as a media device, not a storage device from my understanding. Still don't have the phone yet waiting on lagging ATT to install all their crapware before it comes out.

This is not true. All phones/tablets are recognized as MTP-Devices in all Android-Versions from JellyBean on. This means you don't have a normal windows-drive with a drive letter but rather an equivalent to a connected mp3-player or media device. Still you can copy all files to phone (and back) in windows explorer.

Why would it bother you then? Slower transfer speeds?
I too have no problems other than LTE not enabling. I'm on Rogers and LTE is supposed to be in my area. The APN is set for LTE and data is working but only H and 3G show.
For the over heating, it is just like the iPad 3rd gen or any other high end tablet. Charging while playing a graphically intense game will make the device uncomfortably hot. If you are charging any device including the One X+, it is best to leave it alone until fully charged. Now if nothing is running on the device while charging and it gets uncomfortably hot, you may have an issue. Apple says 37-40c is within iPad and iPhone 5 specs, not sure what HTC's max temp specs are for One x/x+. At 40c, another 10c and you are half way to boiling point so I hope HTC's rating is no higher than 30c!
I ended up going with the Note 2 as it was only £30 more and I really missed my S3. Very hard to get used to the size and I do miss the industrial design of the one x but the sound quality and performance are in a completely different league.

Why compare a phone to tablet? Is that fair? Tablets have a much bigger surface area for heat dissipation.

Been iOS jailbreaker for years and finally decided One X+ was worth jumping ship, at least on paper. Glad I'm not a gamer. Just needed a bigger screen and more flexibility without having to wait for jailbreaks every time and iOS update came out. But realize I may be in the same boat having to wait for custom ROMS if I don't want to wait for HTC updates. Sigh.
Mail client
Got mine yesterday, and I was pretty happy with it too - until now, that I found out that it's almost useless for me half of the time (work): Because Sense mail client does not support certificates?? wtf... standard android feature! So no exchange connection for me - I do not believe it... So I will have to wait for first custom ROM... Really hope it won't take too long.
Besides that the phone is incredible - still will get rid of Sense launcher - golauncher is much more adjustable.

Well I'm using this phone now since January, and I'm totally satisfied with it. There is just one thing I don't like, that is the temperature while playing heavy games but the devs here on xda made a kernel which improved the temperature dramatically.
I would recommend this phone or the new htc one to you

It depends on what you plan to use it for. It gets pretty hot when playing HD video and the camera isn't great, just average to good. If you plan on installing your own Android ROM, maybe the heat issues will be solved. Read the thread containing my previous posts for more info about these issues.
There are a lot of phones being launched right now (check out androidos.in if you're in India), so it also depends on what you like about the upcoming flagships. Personally, I don't think I will be able to see the increased pixel density from the S4 or HTC One 1080p displays, especially since those phones are $100+ more off-contract, so I chose to pick up the HOX+ a couple weeks ago. I am still considering returning it though, as I'm not sure the camera is good enough for my use and I got the internal temperature up to 60 degrees C after playing a bunch of videos, others have gotten it higher!
We can't tell you if you should go for it without knowing what you'd use it for. It has issues, just like any other phone, so it depends on whether its strengths match up with your needs.
I got my HOX+ in January 2013.
The phone stunned me since the first time boot.
It's smooth, fast and always running for me.
I never got problems with this phone.
Pro's:
-All important audio formats, even .WAV
-Great Sound
-Bright HD Display with top contrast (720*1280)
-Long battery life (better with a custom rom but also good @ Stock)
-Good phone quality
-Nothing happens, if it falls down.
Neutral:
-Loudspeaker (Sometimes it gets some crackling noises and it sounds like a can but hey, it's a loudspeaker not a hifi speaker)
Con's:
-Camera
-Play while charge let the phone sweat.
This is my own opinion.
If I forgot something, I'll edit my post.

Definitely the optimus g. Whats the max you want to spend if you dont mind me asking ?
You should get the HOX+ cos sense 5 will soon come out and it's UI will beat the crap out of the Optimus g. Really, LG's UI Sucks.

Dude if it overheats while playing HD videos then your phone is faulty. 2hour of full hd movie on stock video player won't bring it to more that 34c

So its approximately 550$. Dude you could get better phone than both the One X+ and the Optimus G for that price. Try swappa.com and see if a buyer is willing to hip internationally. You may be able to buy an HTC One, an S4 or something else.

Looks like we already have a successor.

Looks interesting, it has a resemblance to the Optimus F7 it seems.

Guys, how is the Snapdragon 400 and Adreno 305 in terms of performance? Cause I just watched the first review that I found of L9 II and they said that since the CPU is energy saving, the newer games might not work that well.
Is that true? I though that snapdragon in pair with adreno 305 could be pretty good, I know that its made with 28nm technology which should enhance battery life but is it also related to performance?
So after I heard this, I wonder if it will be more powerful than L9? Or its not true?
Thanks for answer.
Similar processor with the same amount of RAM? Why even bother making a new version if you're not going to upgrade the specs?
It has adreno305!? Awesome
Adreno is awesome, I've never had a bad experience with Adreno devices

I wonder when is L9 II section going to be created here on XDA?
So I happen to be the owner of this LG D605 (known as L9 II). I also had the L9 I in my hands for a while. I have to say I liked the back cover of L9 I more but L9 II is smaller so it fits in my hands better.
Regarding performance I remember scoring over 14k on AntuTu benchmark (GPU test scored a lot and this phone, it lost points only in multitasking benchmark when compared with quad-core smartphones). I can post some benchmark screenshots later if you want.
RAM could really be a little bit higher (with this stock bloated LG ROM, I guess it would be ok with CM or AOSP or whatever). Sometimes OOM-killer gets my launcher when I browse the net or play games so I have to wait some time before my UI appears again when I press Home button.
I also think the loudspeaker is on a little bit quiet side when compared to L9 I but this is not a big problem - it's still loud enough and the sound is clear. Only thing I don't like about the speaker is how it is positioned - when you hold the phone in horizontal orientation you will find yourself covering the speaker a lot which is annoying.
Lack of backlight on the touch-button panel doesn't bother me - I didn't have problems operating this phone in the dark. It is easy enough to hit these touch buttons anyway.
Overall good phone, other than this RAM size and loudspeaker location problem I don't have any problems with it. Dead Trigger 2 on High graphics setting is going smooth enough for me.

That's a heck of a first post. Welcome to XDA, and thanks for the info.
As promised - attached are benchmark screenshots (this was done using AnTuTu X benchmark).
Bought this phone couple of weeks ago, and I absolutely agree with you Varcain. Despite of few cons this phone is amazing for that price range, performance is good, screen is the same as many high-end devices and i am having absolutely no trouble playing latest games like Asphalt 8, Dead Trigger, etc...
I am just wondering when individual forum section will be available for this device on xda forums, where people with same phones could share their thought and someone even maybe will start developing custom roms for it?
And one more thing. Do you guys think this phone can get latest Android KitKat version? It would be even more awesome
I have it too and I agree with you guys. Phone is very fast and smooth. Games working perfect on high or max details. Phone dimensions with 4.7 inches display are awesome. I just wonder that it will get official android 4.4 and xda forums will have section L9 II and someone give us CM or something else. It has potencial and i think it will not be wasted. Oh, I almost forgot, anyone know how to root it?
I've owned this phone for a month now. It arrived at retail sores in Greece at the very attractive price of 249 euros. It's the most compact smartphone featuring a 4.7" display which is amazingly bright, with excellent color-rendering. The 2150 mah battery lasts twice as long as the Optimus G that I had. The camera produces very satisfactory images and the LED flash is bright enough to light a small room. The chipset is powerful enough for an unexpectedly smooth operation, probably more so than the S4 Mini wich had left me with mixed feelings probably because of the heavy Samsung interventions. Plastic is of a good quality, the paintjob is excellent and the device is made in Korea.
Here are screenshots of scores in Atutu and Quadrant, plus a samples of photos in Auto mode and in HDR.

Dont see any reason for making successors of L9...
LG should better continue with it G series...
LG-P769v20h. 'this the season to give thanks so hit the button already!
Personally, the L9 left a sour taste in my mouth. But good luck with getting a forum and unlocking the bootloader!

I have got this phone cca 4 days. It is bit big for me but hope that I will like it
My previous phone was smaller and had less RAM, so this one is much faster and everything working much better.
Anyway, I am interesting to root it and remove some LG soft because, I prefer clean android. So looking forward to someone find way how to root it.
Is there any way how to remove qslide panel in notification area?
Is there any way how to hide labels of icons which are located at bottom of each home screen?
thanks

I found how to root it. You must use this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448085. It is Cydia Impactor and it works.
How you open cwm?

You don't need CWM. Why do you ask?
So im thinking of buying a ZU
Id like to know how it is, any lag, landscape lag, bugs etc
And also id like to know some bootloader info
How easy to unlock
Is kernel layout and workings simular to other devices?
-Side note, im a noob dev, im learning how to modify kernels and such, also some learning on the side with roms
C#/+/++
Java
Blah blah
Would you reccomend it instead of a Z1 or Z
Thank you

- No lag that is worth mentioning
- Sony has its own bootloader unlocker, or you can use Flashtool
I can't give you any answers regarding kernel stuff and things like that, since i'm not a dev. Would i recommend the Ultra over the Z1? It really depends. Do you want a big or a "small" device? They are identical hardware wise - except for the camera and screen - where the Ultra has the superior screen (AH-IPS on the Ultra vs VA TFT on the Z1), while the Z1 has a much better camera (The Ultra's camera is really bad). Rooting is a b**** at the moment since the latest firmware fixed an exploit, so it's not that straight forward to root it if you're on the latest firmware (you can always downgrade, though). Am i happy with the Ultra? Very. There are no serious bugs (in the latest fw), the battery is good, screen is good etc.
It's a business/geek device.
That's it for now i guess. For the more technical kernel questions and stuff like that, i'll have to give my stick to someone else.
@LordManhattan
Thank you, been looking into upgrading from my Xperia S
I dont like that with Z1 unlocking your bootloader breaks the camera
ZU may be my choice

I recommend you to check it out in a store before buying/ordering it if you have the chance. It's really big, but it grows on you after about a week and it won't be so intimidating, but again; it's big

I asume the size would grow, got that screen for movies
That quad core 2.2 ghz sounda tasty, any over heating issues with it?, i do dumb stuff like run ubuntu and play GTA 3 on max graphics, the usual >

it is definitely big, and also heavy with my 4500 mah battery case, but it is SO growing on me, hehe. the display is awesome, and the stock rom runs great, and i have plenty of battery life even without my battery case.
the funny thing is, the device actually felt small to me at first. the reason being that it reminded me of a Nexus 7 2013, but it's small for an N7

I haven't really played any CPU/GPU intensive games, except for Riptide GP 2, and I've had no issues with overheating at all. It may - as all devices, give off some heat but it won't melt your hands or burn down your house.
GTA might heat it up a bit if you play for awhile and especially if you're charging it at the same time, though. We don't really know until you try it.

The phone is amazing, after 1-2 days its not actually as big as you first think. The speed, is incredible, the screen is Godly. The battery life isnt great but its ok, at 5-5.5 hours of screen time. I love it... but i think i will be returning it now.
why?
Because the Camera quality is beyond bad. If you intend to take any pictures at all, dont get this phone.
Saying the camera is bad makes it sound good, its really really really reallyyyy bad. Like in perfect lighting conditions itl take a photo about the quality of a phone 2-3 years ago.
If the conditions are anything but perfect... WOW i mean, a pastel painting may be more accurate at displaying what you took a photo of.
Im not some photographer or photo snob, I just like to occasionally take out my phone and snap a photo which i have done with my last 4 phones with pleasure. But not this one.
so dont be disappointed when every single photo that you take looks like complete utter trash.

I play games on it, real racing 3, asphalt 8, deadtrigger, GTA 3. No overheating problems at all, I think due to the glass on the back heat is quickly transferred to the air.
Simply amazing phone, in fact the best Phablet on the market for someone like me who switched from Samsung's Galaxy Note series. Yes the Camera low light performance is useless but you need to consider how important imaging is to you or the lack of flash. I really don't mind as long as they improve the internal camera app. It is let down by poor software optimizations.
To get the best out of XZU, you need to install the Paranoid Android ROMs and let the magic happen. I have not done it yet but will wait for a stable rooting option before I go through all this as all the current solutions require too much effort and risk and I cannot afford it with this beauty.
Welcome to the world of - Ultra!
You will be happy to have this device. I love it. I've had other phablets, and this has proven to be the best so far.
- Build quality is amazing!
- UI is super smooth
- Battery is ok. You'll get a day out of it at least.
- Sony updates and dev support is great... best I've had so far.
- Gaming is great. I've had no stutters, and all games have been on Max.
- Connectivity is good. wifi sometimes lacks range and will disconnect when I'm 8-10m away from router. That's strange.
- Camera is ok. Its 5 / 10 so average.. From what you say its probably only slightly better than the 'S'
** maybe you can make a kernel for my rom?? Be good to have more than base tweaks **
