No issues with Xposed on the stock rom? (before the G2 mod)
I'd prefer if you used xposed with a stock rom, less development issues ?

I had the Note 2, then went to the S4 then tried the Note 3, but it is just massive. I have big hands and is still very awkward to hold. I ride a bicycle so I like something on my hip, holster wise. So this LG is peppy, is all around fun and good. I have no complaints.

When the first time I see the G2's screen and watch demo clips on it, I was impressed... "Oh my God, never see a beautiful cell's screen before. I love it, I must have it".
When the first time I turned on Note 3 screen, I even thought that there is crap on this phone (sorry). Screen looks dirty, and colors are so... far more than enough. Red is too red, blue is too blue, green is too green... and it makes the screen like a mess.
If u care more about the display, you must see this G2. But if u want something big, more performance, document applications, stylus, u can keep your Note 3.
My G2 is not lag in anytime (I think Note 3 is stronger), but Iam not sure that Note 3 battery can last long like G2. With G2, I never need to care about the battery even I spend half day in a Internet Cafe.

Lag? God no, this thing is blazing. I was worried about the OS and leaving touchwiz but I actually like the LG interface and with Nova Launcher, I can't be happier. I rooted the phone within the first hour and the mods available make it even better.

I came from the Epic 4G Touch and that phone was a huge brick. This thing is huge and I love it, but not so big that it's a pain to use. Everytime my wife hands me her iPhone 5 to talk to her mom I feel like I am going to drop that little thing.

Congrats! This phone exceeds my expectations I had for it. You know you don't have to root to get more apps in Multiview right? You can just mod the apk/installer of the apps you want it there and install them.

As the OP pointed out, it felt like a downgrade. The S4s screen is pretty nice but I found it ate through the battery pretty quick when it was on. The S4 dropped to 3g in places my Note would hold 4g. The S4 didn't seem as smooth as the Note with a rom on it. It just didn't feel worth the money.

The screen wasnt that big of a differnce. There was a lot of lag everywhere, from the camera to making a call and all that smart stuff wasnt what i thought. There was a few flaws, but everybody feels different about things. U have 14 days to return it..just make sure u go to the corporate store,if not u have to pay an $80 restocking fee. I was pissed, but I got the phone for $177 after the rebate..

I'm in a similar situation. I picked up the S4 Thursday, played with it for a day, and hated it. The camera was laggy (0.5-1 second shutter lag), the UI and apps themselves were laggy, it felt like I downgraded because of the smaller screen and the battery life was a lot worse. I went back to my Note 2 for the weekend and thought about returning the S4.
Then last night I decided to give the S4 another shot. I did a factory reset, installed my apps again (except I only installed what I REALLY used, which is about 60 apps), rooted, and froze/uninstalled a TON of apps and processes using Titanium Backup. After customizing it even more it's been much better in terms of performance and battery life. The screen is amazing on the S4, it's much brighter, whiter, no jagged edges on text (MBP > MBP Retina), easily viewable in sunlight, etc.
I thought back to when I first got my Note 2 and realized that the S4 is still brand new, when the Note 2 was new it was also laggy and full of bloatware. The S4 is only going to get better as OTA updates come out to fix these few minor issues, and once devs start to build solid ROM's it's going to be just as reliable as my Note 2 is on Beans 17.
I enjoy having a phone that I can actually fully use in one hand, fit in my pocket without being uncomfortable while sitting, and more importantly actually be able to fit it in cupholders!

But the note 2 wasn't laggy even with Verizon bloat and a ton of apps. I used it for a while stock, non rooted and it was just ask fact as it is on a custom Rom. I really feel like the snapdragon CPU's are just inferior to exynos. Plus it never gets hot.

Absolutely love this phone. I've had all the flagships and this is fantastic. My only gripe is the battery isn't very good on mine. Falls fast even when sleeping. Coming from an N4 I'm used to bad battery, but I was hoping for results like the rest of you. Oh well.
I posted this today in the Moto X forum LG G2 vs Moto X
I have to say I owned the s4 the HTC one the Moto x and just yesterday traded the X for the LG G2 I love this phone Screen is fantastic Battery life is incredibly as far as UI it's like touch wiz but no lag. Also we have achieved ROOT I'm on verison. All in all this phone is superior to all devises out. Just my opinions. Android Rules!!!!#####

You're kidding, right? The camera is better than the S4 and one of the best out there right now. Aside from the numerous reviews confirming photo quality, I have done my own comparisons with the GS4 and Lumia 1020 and it's right on par. If you're getting bad photos, you're doing something wrong.

There are some posts about that. Anyways yuo are in the Xperia forum so you can imagine the answers...I had NOTE 1 and Note 2 and tested Note 3...the Ultra just captured me from the start.

Cant think of anything else...but I love my Ultra lol

Pretty much this. Note 3 if you want the S-Pen or the Ultra if you want the "waterproofness" (funny looking word, but it is indeed a word ) and build quality.
Build quality is better on xzu battery isn't bad. But no flash. And not sure if note 3 has ir blaster but xzu doesn't which is annoying.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
I just sold my Note 3 to get the Ultra last week. For indoor use, the Note 3 camera kinda sucks. Battery life is so-so, only lasts about a day. Build quality on Note 3 feels cheap compared to Ultra. I was never in love with Note 3, it's really just the same old plastic Samsung phone with Touchwiz.
If you have 2 hours, you can see the videos from Erica Griffin. She goes into everyday usage of both phones. In the end she moved from the Ultra to the Note 3. Here are the links:
Erica Griffin on the Ultra
Erica Griffin on the Note 3
Well considering her size...even the Note 3 could feel way big huge for her.

It's her preferences ofc, plus if you look at her impression about xzu, it is clear that she likes xzu as her daily driver before going with note 3. And plus who doesn't love a new more expensive gadget hey? yeah the note 3 experience is a bit more complete (sans the real estate of the screen that xzu offered which she like the most about xzu) but that doesn't mean that xzu is a loser compared to note 3, no, far from it. It's just that they were built for different speciality.
Sent from my C6802 using xda app-developers app
I would change my Ultra for the next ultra and nothing else. Every time I see a Note 3 or someone holding it I can't seem to figure out if it's really a Note 3 or a Note 2 or a GS4. It just seems the same phone with some new tweaks is all.
Don't misunderstand me, I had a GS3 and loved it, and last year you could spot a GS3 right away, people here had an iPhone, or a GS3.
With the Ultra you stand out from the crowd, and not only for the sheer size, but also for everything else.
Somebody might mock you for the lack of flash or for the impossibility of changing batteries, but deep down you see most people love it and envy your big toy.
But, more importantly, it's a fantastic beast, it doesn't do anything slowly, it simply works and the stock ROM is the most beautiful I've ever tried.
My 2 cents.

@LordManhattan I must now confess. I miss my xzu I've been without it since Friday. Sony received it yesterday and a 're supposidly going to check whether my stated problems are covered by warranty. ( I hope they are ) before I sent it I didn't double check boot loader after ta restore. But I think it's quite rare that it would still be unlocked.
Anyway after using my HTC one since I've been without it I've now decided I'm gunna stay with xzu and not get HTC one max. :good:
You got your phone back yet?

No, they are completely useless. They didn't do anything actually.

One tip though. Call them when they're working on it. My service center has anew online log of what they've done, and I also knew which day they were going to work on it, but I didn't call them to say that they had to swap the display, so I'm blaming myself a little. Don't trust them to actually do what they are supposed to do.

No that's what I'll do in morning now. I always phone ask how it's all going in case they say there not sorting much I'll kick off. I really hope on the xz1u or xzu2 however it gets called there is better camera with flash and ir blaster. I would completely love the xzu if it did. Bit my mind keeps straying still.

If you have 2 hours, you can see the videos from Erica Griffin. She goes into everyday usage of both phones. In the end she moved from the Ultra to the Note 3. Here are the links:

@romano Man first of all you are no offence crazy note 3 don't even stand near ultra it's like you are comparing a rolls to a ford ......ford could fool you with some add function's but rolls is rolls.....
@paulotex Oh god Erica do you see her hand's an iphone is bigger for those if you give her an iphone and a nokia 1100 she will jump nokia to fit her size ....... she just foolin around.........
im a very sporty person, what made me get the note is when during the summer i will be jogging alot and riding my bike.. i figured this wouldn't be possible so i got the note 3. However if someone here can convince me that can happen without a problem i may be switching over because i love large screens =)
I've had both and I prefer the xperia ultra. I watch a lot of media on my phone so I went with the bigger screen. Not a fan if touchwiz either having the gpe ROM for the ultra was another reason. The only thing is don't expect to take it to the gym or anything.

Well, I skate a lot as I play hockey and I got a tiny LG Thrill 3D phone (just wanted a $ 50 cheapo) for the Ice Rink because the Ultra is too big but to be honest, even the Note 2 was hard to deal with when skating because I was compromising my crossovers etc since I had the phone in my front pocket.
But is I was jogging or on a bike, I would think it is easier to manage as you got more places where to keep it without thinking that if you slip like on the ice you can destroy it.
Not sure man but I would go back to Xperia in my very biased opinion
Hey fellow members I currently have a note 3 on Verizon... U know spec wise the note is more powerful but my girlfriend recently got a one max and I'm liking what I see.... Anybody here coming from a note 3.. Can tell me.... How's battery life... How's the experience will I miss the slightly newer processor.. Is the radio reception on par or better?... How's Ron development?... I just need feedback so I'll know I'm making a good decision... Thanks guys
I had a Note 3 too and I don't really miss it at all. The battery life is about the same. I have yet to find anything that I can't do on the One Max that I could do on the Note 3. (Subtracting all the S-Pen stuff, of course.) In my personal opinion, radio reception is at the very least on par with. ROM development is growing and you don't have to worry about KNOX blowing out any chance of a warranty. All in all, I'd recommend the move.

Thanks for the feedback Jonathan.. I'm really considering making the trade... The one max looks sweet man

It's actually been proven on YouTube that the one max can load webpages faster then the note.

Same here for me here.
I've got my note 3 since two month now and it's really a great device. But every day I think about switching to the max.
Before the note 3 I got the very first note and now I think it would be nice to have something different.
This spen stuff is not bad but to be honest I don't really need that. Sometimes it's quite useful but I think I can live without that.
I hope that the community will grow in the next weeks.

Then only lacking factor is the camera.

I think i can tolerate it I don't take many pics with my phone and I did a brief comparison with my note cam and my girlfriend's max cam and the note was better in the day time (not mind blowing though) but at night and in dim areas the shots looked more natural with the max... So i think I could deal with the camera downgrade..
