Has anyone upgraded to the LG G2? If so, how do you like it compared to the rezound? Does the rezound do anything better than the G2?

LG G2 here come around March. Next closest thing to the Nexus 5 and not planning on getting another HTC product. IMO, the G2 is twice the phone the Rezound is. I just got one for the wife for Christmas.

GPS
The G2 is a great upgrade over the Rezound. I've left my Rezound in airplane mode and G2 still has more juice left over the same period. But... there appears to be an issue with the GPS lock on the Verizon models, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485088&highlight=gps. Most of the people in the thread are with Verizon. I just flashed Clean ROM and am going to test out the GPS, but it looks bleak.
The g2 is the way to go. Blows away the rezound. Going from worst battery to best battery is very nice

For those of you that have the G2, how do you like the camera? Have you all noticed any shutter lag with the camera while taking pics of objects in motion or low light shots? I ask because at the G2 forum there are many people having issues with the shutter.

Anyone done a Note 3 vs. G2 comparison? Want to get the best, but i am kind of fond of TouchWiz. I am sure there will be CM builds if I miss AOSP, but whichever phone is more reliable is probably what I'll get.

LG does have a Touchwiz-esque overlay.
Hmm... So how about Dev activity?

G2 es muy bueno!
I've had the G2 for a little over a week. I love my Rezound, but there is no comparison. The screen is beautiful. The phone is incredibly fast. The camera is the best I've used in any device. And the development community is pretty damn good. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-verizon
If you're due for an upgrade, I wouldn't hesitate to go for the G2.

Nope, I'm not giving up my Amaze, but after seeing so many threads from people announcing they are leaving, I thought I'd put up a thread for people to use, so we don't have a new one all the time.
I'm not leaving

My Nexus 4 is arriving in the next couple days. I will keep the Amaze around as back up. This is probably the last great HTC device that has replaceable batteries, expandable storage, HSPA+, great camera and a good screen. Nothin HTC has released since has all of the above traits.
I too want to thank Team Nightmare for their awesome works. I will keep flashing the latest CM or AOKP rom that's being released.

HTC one x+ IS better than the nexus 4 IMO as well...
Those that hate Samsung quality... We are talking about the S3 and note 2... The Galaxy s skyrocket, s2 and all their variants are a whole different story. The quality of the s3 is unbelievable... Especially compared to their old devices. Trust me.. I used to think the same way. I got the one s as my amaze upgrade initially... Dumped it for the s3 and never looked back. Its soooooooo much nicer. And forgive me for thinking it being lightweight as a feature rather than a sign of poor build quality. Everyone puts cases on their phones anyway nowadays.

If you live in a metropolitan area, its reasonable to use Dropbox for pics/vids/files and Google music for music. Then you can use the 16gb for a couple/few backups. Its just an inconvenience.
I'm more shocked that he can get by with a slimmed down amaze and justify it as a worthy upgrade. That was my beef (and the SD card bit ) It was a downgrade in the camera and storage, an upgrade in the aesthetics and battery, and virtually identical in performance

I'm tempted, but my guess is that I'll just end up disappointed that HTC capitulated to Big Red and locked up the boot loader. Other than the far superior design and build quality, neither of which matter to me as much as performance does, I'm thinking there's not much of an advantage to switching over

I'm just curious....How do you guys switch phones? Do you guys sell the S4 for close to retail price (600-700) and then buy a different phone at retail price? I am just curious as to how hard it is to switch phones without losing a bunch of money.
I will be staying on my S4 most likely...even just stock I think the phone works great, but I thought I would ask how you guys do it.

Or you could have a 4.7 inch screen that becomes a 5 inch screen when the buttons hide in certain apps.

I'm not a fan of on screen buttons either. I see them as wasted space. I actually used GMD Gesture Control on my GNex and set custom gestures from the right and left sides of the screen. You could also root and flash a ROM with Pie Controls.
I'm not sure if AOKP still has it, but the nav bar widgets and customizations would probably be the only reason I'd have a nav bar.

I'd like to have the HTC One for its FM Radio. But to take the place of the S4. Nope! The S4 battery is tiny (for LTE at least). The One has a 2300mAh battery. Not enough for a full day. Plus non removable.
The only phone I would (and am buying) with a non removable battery is the Motorola Droid Maxx (new one) 3500mAh for non removable is great. 2300 in the One is horrible. Plus don't get me started on the 4MP camera. Might be great for low light. But resolution and clarity. Nope.

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.

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.
I have a stock rooted S4 I got as a replacement from asurion, for a S3, it's on ME7, I have not activated it. Just thoughts from the community, I am a long time aosp user, anti touch jizz since fascinate days. Should I keep the s4 and bear with it on rooted stock or send it back and get another S3?

Yeah I don't know that One design just doesn't scale well. I mean look at a One compared to a Moto X, it's a joke. They have the same screen size but the Moto X is almost the same size as an iPhone while the One is bigger than our phone. So the BoomSound speakers plus the 5.9" screen means it massive. It only has a Snapdragon 600 after all these devices are coming out with the 800. It loses OIS, which ruins the whole point of their "UltraPixels" with the larger light aperture, in favor of a fingerprint reader which so far hasn't been reviewed very well. Apple integrated the reader into the experience of the iPhone by putting it right on the home button, the One Max makes the same mistake as the Motorola Atrix. Furthermore, it doesn't even retain the best part of the One design, the unibody aluminum shell. It features a plastic ring around the phone like our S4 as well as an apparently spotty removable back that doesn't even feature a removable battery. Very disappointed in the One Max.
Any suggestions before I buy mine. Anyone else coming from nexus 5? Last HTC phone was the my touch 4g and the g1. Lol.

I came from a nexus 5. Right away the signal is dramatically better, and the wifi is the best I have ever seen in a phone. I have had htc one m7, galaxy s4, and nexus 5 before this. Nexus 5 was great, but the roms all look the same. CM based this and that. At lease with this I can flash sense or gpe rom if I start to miss my nexus. Battery is about 50% better than nexus. Build quality is no comparison. Sound no comparison. Speed is about the same. Camera on nexus is sharper, but the edit tab on m8 is sooo sick with the ufocus and 3d moving. Really cool, it makes my wife who is a die hard iPhone girl start to question her phone. M8 is about 1/4 inch taller than nexus but feels good in my hand but I can really notice that 1/4 inch when I put it in my back pocket which is where I always keep my phones. Im used to it now, but just pointing it out. I love the always live digitizer so I can swipe to wake etc without battery drain like the nexus 5 kernels. The only thing I kind of miss is the wireless charging. If you are a phone junky like me, it is a great upgrade. I sold my nexus 5 16 gig with wireless charger on craigslist for $370.
I still have my nexus 5,and sold my g2. This is a worthy upgrade to either device. And it was hard for me to give up my g2.

So coming from an S4 you actually like the M8? I'm stuck between the M8 and S5. The only thing holding me back is the camera

yea man, i loved my Google Play S4 but was getting tired of it. 4.4.2 on the GPE S4 has so many camery bugs (front facing camera was always blurry, boot animation would always freeze)
love the M8 for a skinned android phone, very very happy with my decision
Sold my nexus 5 and iPhone 5c to get this device very worth it so far! Love the speakers

Look at the thread where the camera shots are being uploaded by users. The camera isn't bad at all.

I have both a Nexus 5 and the M8 and I actually like the Nexus better. It is smaller so it is easier to handle. I don't have huge hands. The M8 is pretty though. I will use the M8 as my back up for a while.
