Picked mine up yesterday. I'm still playing around with it. Used gps on the way home from the store. It was waaaaaay more responsive than my Hero was. The screen is absolutely beautiful. It's super fast and feels really nice in the hand. The Samsung GS2 was actually too light for my taste. Plus the samsung screen size was a little too big for my smallish hands. Downloading and installing apps happens almost instantly. Really happy so far....but it HAS been less than a day. I've already installed Juice Defender (free) to hopefully alleviate any battery issues.
I do have a question tho. I'm having trouble getting to the media on my SD card. I deleted everything from my SD card from the Hero, dragged my Music folder and Video folder to the card and popped it into the phone but cannot seem to access any of it. What am I missing?
Make sure SD card is mounted in settings

Got it sorted out. Had to reformat my card. Also had to select sdcard2 or something like that in the folders in PowerAmp.
I love it. Got it today... Replaced my N1... I NOTICE QUITE A bit of light bleed from the soft key LEDs though.... Anyone else notice this?

I noticed the same, I dont. My only issue is the current lack of unlock codes (none available at this time - I'm on Rogers).
If someone is aware of a SIM unlock method which would only require Temp root that would be awesome
i too picked it up yesterday
i unlocked the bootloader and rooted the rom
installed the recovery
but there are several issue,
1) tried several different roms, the wifi and bluetooth doesn't work other then the stock rom. ( i also notice the flash light doesn't work when using those roms)
2) stock rom doesn't come with the fancy camera,( the one with smart shot )
anyone find any solution?
Just got mine today and loving it. Noticing quite a bit of screen bleed but it doesn't really bother me.

It's true though it comes with 16gigs of internal so you have lots to work worth.
bonus if you have a 16 or 32gig to add I have a 16 for music and backups.

My usage was 100% on WiFi, yes I had some long periods where the phone just sat but that doesn't change screen on time. From experience the RF network is always the killer. I'd be pretty upset to see under 12 hours on a charge considering I see 14-16 on average using my Inspire 4G (rooted with an RCmix Rom).
Between home and work I'm almost always on WiFi.

Can anyone else with a Telus Amaze comment on battery? Gotta say I'm impressed Telus didn't bloat or brand the phone (no Telus boot animation or apps) as well no branding physically on the phone.

My battery experience must be completed supported by my lack of radio network, I would expect a lot less once I'm actually using a SIM though hopefully still enough juice to reach 10 hours at least.

Just plugged my phone in to charge up so I can have a full charge in the morning. It was at 52% when I plugged it in. I had just over 12 hrs of light to moderate use today on that 48%.
I am still on stock sense rom and am using Juice Defender Free on aggressive setting. I saw no signs of the aggressive setting inhibiting performance. So far battery life is not as bad as I had heard it would be.
Okay well the title basically explains it, my data usage statistics are not updating. It's currently August 18th and my usage cycle ends on the 11th of each month. Running neomax and currently s-on. Thanks to anyone who can help.
I've found that the data usage app is absolutely worthless. Every month I compare what Android says my data usage is compared to what verizon says it is and they are no where near the same. Verizon says my usage is 850-1,000 MB while Android usage app shows only around 300-350 MB. So, I just ignore what the data usage app says.

Like right now, VZW says I have used 2.23GB of data (day 20) and my phone says I have used 0.93GB. D:

True, but to have such a disparity between the two reports is odd.
They have to say that to cover themselves just in case, but I guarantee they intended for it to be accurate. I'm sure they will make it more accurate in future updates.

Maybe if you have both WiFi and LTE on it doesn't count your data correctly? I'd test, but I'm already watching my data closely for other reasons.

Its odd to see so many people saying the bandwidth meter is inaccurate.. Mine has always been pretty much right on the money every month!
I do notice that there are some apps that don't get reported individually - for instance, WiFi Tether is never listed as an app that has consumed bandwidth in the list below the graph. But the total amount of bandwidth consumed always seems to be right. In other words, even though WiFi Tether is not listed with exactly how much bandwidth it used, that bandwidth is still being reported by the graph, and the cumulative total always seems to be in line with what Verizon reports I have used..
Guys the problem isn't that the statistics aren't accurate with what VZW says, its that its August 20th and the usage cycle has not updated since august 11th!

OH!!! Ok my bad..
I have no clue. Everytime I have weird **** like that start to happen, it usually means its time for a full wipe and start over.
I've started to notice that Android is a little like Windows used to be.... After awhile it just starts to bog down and weird **** starts to happen that doesn't make sense. Only solution I've found in these cases is to do a full wipe and start over.

Thanks man probably gonna do that soon and find a new rom to use for my daily. Any suggestions?
important: is there any type of log that could tell me exact times that I turned my screen on (like in the battery) or a log that tells me when I read a sms message or any kind of log that writes all the phones activities?
thank you
Hi,
Maybe Better Battery Stats for most of the part that you want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15869868
You can see the number of launch of each app you use, the time used by the apps, etc...
Maybe there is other apps...?
Hope that helps

No, thankfully. A logcat could probably be used to determine some of that (logcat -v time), but it overwrites itself and wouldn't likely still have data from a previous day.

Hello folks,
I would like to ask you guys how is your experience with the GPS on the Optimus G, as in how fast and reliable is the GPS on it. I'm currently on the LG Nitro HD and as you can any of its users, the GPS is pretty bad on it. At times it can literally take more than 5-10 min to connect, and at other times it won't connect at all until I reboot the phone. I've used many apps to try and aid the locking speed of it but it just won't work at times. And when it does it can constantly lose it too.
I'm thinking of picking up the G one of these days but I'd like to be certain that this issue does not plague the G as well. Please share your experience with me.
Thanks,
Sean
P.s. another major issue is the compass, where it cant hold any bearings at all and constantly flails around in every direction. The only time it works is when I'm driving lol. The moment I stop, it goes nuts and takes my working GPS with it, messing up directions.

after about 5 seconds, if that
I played golf today and used the lgog as a GPS rangefinder. Got very accurate readings within a couple yards of a laser rangefinder my friend had. It also doesn't seem to use much battery, which is good.
Got a fix within 5 secs or so. Used it for a 4 hour round and had 70 percent left.

I'm finding the exact opposite right now with the battery use. I was getting a 45% drop overnight while I was sleeping. So last night I turned off the GPS to see if that was causing some drain, and I woke up with only 13% drain. I'm going to do further testing though to see if there are any other items that might be causing this.

Well everyone, I decided to pick up the "Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE" with its long name. I didn't even bother using the Stock rom longer than 5 minutes before I had AOKP on it. Here are my first impressions.
The build quality is great. My main gripe about Samsungs phones, is that they all feel cheap. The LTEVO feels great in hand, with its weight and materials. I really like the aluminum band around the device as well.
The camera is second to none out of all of the camera phones I've used to date.
The screen is insanely good. I cannot get over how clear things are, and it might be just me but I swear the surface feels more slick than most displays out today.
Over all battery life has been impressive as well, but that could very well be due to the extensive tweaks I've enabled on my current rom, Pacman rom.
Now, my only issue with this phone is the sound output level. It is so low, that I literally cannot hear it at max volume if I'm sitting on it. I've tried everything possible from CDMA workshop, to QPST to Volume +. Nothing has worked thus far. Is this a common issue or should I try to return it to Amazon for a replacement, or go through sprints TEP (I pay the 11.00 one) and get a refurbished one?
How are you managing to sit on it and not bend it?

lol I think you guys are too cautious about your phone. I'm 6'0 and 240-250lbs and I don't worry at all about it bending/snapping/breaking/being crushed/disappearing.
Of you flashed AOKP then you gave away the "camera that was second to none."
The aosp camera is not the same as on sense.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Agreed, sense cam is MUCH better, ...but sense is not. I just was using sense last few days and it's pretty noticeable.
As for volume, yes, it is very low. But, if you're using AOKP from tmartin build 3 or 4, you can use the volume fix zips that are in his thread, and I think they're in B-reezys code name android OP. There's a 68 a 70 and a 72. I used the 70, worked well. I Dont know if they work with the more recent builds, the bases and kernels have changed a lot since they were made.
Good luck.
