Hello all. I am Selling my 5 months old s3 and thinking for optimus G.
Xperia z, htc 1, sgs4 are out of my budget.
Plz suggest me any other model if u want to. Also I think op g will be better upgrade over s3.
Thanks.

Lg is good. My first droid was optimus net which is still working good. Also op g has build quality. Looks. Performance. I am not a brand hater or brain washed by sammy.

Just go with your feelings, if you like galaxy, then stick with it, if you like optimus, go for it.
Personally think both phones are flagship level, performance different are minimum, just different by outside looking
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
depends on your needs..performance wise,they are alike.but why change phone if u are satisfied with what u got,if not satisfied,then by all means change it..
If I were looking at something like the Optimus G, I'd probably go with the Nexus 4 instead.

well s3 is good but not the best in my opinion. if the thing is not giving u satisfaction then it doesn't matter at all that the phone is so popular & so costly & bhal bhal.......
For me i am not really happy wid s3. multitasking sucks. plastic feels so cheap. always have fear in mind of sudden death, only my thoughts.
So i want to change it.
Ok I would like to ask a couple of questions: I was looking at the (i'll preference myself and it is my favorite phone) galaxy s3 getting the 4.3 update. And after switching carriers I bought and fixed the optimus l9 gained a love for it and now the g. But I'm disappointed with the community behind these LG devices... why isn't there a g2 or g-pro port yet? And can it be done?

community on lg Optimus phones has been the least popular and in my opinion they are better than other similar phones so id love to know that too. there are some g2 and pro ports for like... file manager, lg keyboard, and some other apps but they really aren't great for the lgog. the lack of development, roms, mods really could use some more input. I want to upgrade my of to a g2 but I'm hesitant because of the lack of information and interest. what where you looking for ported? I think most of the stuff that can be done is already available.

Well I want 4.2 or higher. I like then phone as is but the LG UI is a little cartoony and again my previous phones where the gs2 and 3 and the UI chAgnes that were made were creative and refreshing... and I am with you on the community support and the lack there of, after some research turns out Samsung copies LG a lot. Anyway I am like you I may not go for another LG device of there isn't any support

talk about "being stuck".. last year spend about 2 Grand on personal stuff, now I've have to tolerate this phone for at least 3 more years,hopes on LG 4.4 kitkat update.
Well I'm getting a Nokia Lumia 920 next week or after that, it's getting shipped to me. I don't know what color it is, but I'm excited about being introduced to WP8
I might get the Jolla and go for the true Linux phone without all of this bootloader nonsense.

I've never heard of a Jolla. I'll look it up later.
They have some unboxing and hands on clips on YouTube. The Sailfish os is still new but they are constantly updating. By later this year, it should be all good. A good feature is the ability to install android apps. Not all of the apps work yet but that's why they are updating.

I watched one video of the Jolla phone and I wasn't really thrilled with the phone. But that's just my honest opinion. If you get it, enjoy.
here is the info :
QualityCellz via eBay offers the Unlocked LG Optimus G E970 4G LTE GSM Android Smartphone for $149.99 with free shipping. That's $30 under our mention from two days ago and the lowest total price we've seen. (It's also a current low by $30.) It features a 4.7" 768x1280 touchscreen LCD, Qualcomm 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 16GB internal memory, 2GB RAM,8-megapixel rear-facing camera, 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, 4G LTE, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth 4.0, and Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).

But new for a lg g 150 or even 200 is the much much better deal. The lg g is a better phone. The moto g is great but for the same price u or less get the better lg g. Just not much cases for the G version from att.

The Moto G is a low budget phone with a quad core processor and no LTE with a 5 MP cam with flash using the latest android.

Bought a G2 in October a few weeks after launch - great phone but I always change phones after about 6 months. Normally I'd have waited until after Mobile World Congress to sell but this was such a good deal for a nice device that I jumped a bit early. Now I have a phone I can tolerate for a little bit along with plenty of cash for the next big thing. Maybe the G2 Pro or something.
The lg g flex it looks pretty sick. I wonder what iPhone people feel since they always change to the same phone
I am going to buy g3, pro 2, and the flex to see which of the 3 I will like the best. Then I'll have 2 phones for sale. I currently have a g2, of and the og pro. As far as lg products are concerned I didnt like the s4 so I sold it. Phones are getting cheaper for lg compared to Samsung. Also I got a 3.00 pay raise so these new phones got affordable.

Well as it stands I currently have the e970/e980 and the g2. I will buy the other 3 when they are out and about. I will sell my g pro and g2. The e970 has a cracked digitizer up in the corner but works fine. I mill through phones very fast. Wife gets annoyed when I buy extra phones for Pandora or media remotes. So I often have 1-2 of each device.

I have an e970, been looking around for a g2 for a while now. It may be a few more months until g flex and whatever else makes it out. It'll be cool if we can make out a deal on the g2 when the time comes around

Go with the lg og you wont be disappointed. The moto g is a nice phone but is a downgrade in comparison to the og with aosp or stock. You can always root then debloat stock and have the lg goodies. Plus 2gb of ram over the motog's 1gb. 8mp camera(lg) vs 5mp camera(moto). Plus lte on the lg optimus g and sd expansion etc etc.....

Well the lg g has an 8 mega camera. A better front camera a better processor a better screen not by much but it is better and so what bitter. The lg g does has more bloatware but u can easily root it and put an cm11 ROM or so on it. U get a better speced phone with the lg g in comparison to the moto g. And it is also cheaper then the moto g. Remember the moto g is a phone made as an beginner smartphone the lg g was a flagship device and made for being a high end phone. So there is no question the lg g is better. But the moto g is a great phone but u get the lg g for a insane low price and better specs. And also has the lg g LTE and NFC what the moto g does not have.
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk
The way I see it other than the android version lo og out classes moto g in every way... just sayin. Also the lg og may feel like it gets hot but its the fact it has a glass back. Makes the device feel hotter than most devices.
Hey OG users, I'm currently an HTC Sensation 4G / T-Mobile user looking for a good low-cost used phone to upgrade to.
Is the Optimus G a good phone right now?
I like the idea of the OG because:
T-Mobile LTE and HSPA+ is supposedly supported
It's a sister phone with the Nexus 4 so all Google's hardware driver updates should be able to be ported
It HAS AN SD CARD SLOT
It's got all the specs I want (HD screen, Quad Core, 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM)
It has OFFICIAL CM11. (How is that? Stable? Works well? I'm running an unofficial build on my senni and it's fantastic.)
Battery is fairly easily user-replaceable for when it degrades after a while.
IT'S BETTER THAN MY INCREDIBLY LOW RAM/ROM SENSATION.
I would probably use it for 18 - 30 Months and I don't want to spend more than $200 on an upgrade so this would be perfect. (I think)
Any advice you can give me? Would you would recommend this phone?
Thanks!
The vast majority of people have failed to get tmo lte. Other than that it works like a charm.

Official cm 11 for this device runs well..but I speak only of experience running official builds on the e970 (geeb) ...currently there's a M4 build, and a RC3 if I'm not mistaken. Nightlies are maintained by shelnutt2 ( I think)...I haven't heard anything about replacing the battery. That's a first for me,but I've only had the LGOG for a month. I came from the note i717 forums

Yeah that's the one I was talking about, the I found by going to Cyanogenmod.com
So it does run well? That's good to hear.
And I've never actually run official nightlies before, I've always used unofficial builds (since they're for newer versions of CM than the official versions are) that are more like weeklies and I do a full wipe about every 4th update since they say we shouldn't Dirty Flash. I can't imagine not dirty flashing on a ROM updated every night!
How do they deal with dirty flashing on nightlies? Don't residual problem arise? Or when they do, do they ask to do a full wipe before reporting it to make sure it's really there?
I'm not sure If I'd prefer to do the M builds only or Nightlies.
Thanks for your reply!

Sweet, that's my least cared about desire for the phone.
Do it man. I had the g pro for a few days. Now returning it and coming back to this. ( the one I had was beat up which ruined the experience a little bit ) this may sound weird but the 5.5 inch screen somehow didnt seem as cozy .. I may buy a better condition g pro but this really isn't bad at all
The sensation was an awful phone, got it when it released, then went back to my my touch 4g. Any phone released in 2012 is better than it, even the SGSII.

Some more than others, my sensation has been pretty fun over the last 18 months. but I think its time for a new adventure! Haha.
I just bought a phone with a "clean esn, cracked back, fuzzy camera, everything else works fine" OG for $71 on eBay, and ordered a new back for $24. If the back clears up the camera as well then I got a $95 upgrade!
If I don't like it I can always resell.
We'll see what happens in a few days when it arrives.

Yeah, I can't see myself using a phone larger than 5", MAYBE the G2, but 5.5"+ is way to big.
Though I'm probably going to upgrade my mom in a few months to the note 2 since it has a pen. We'll see.

Depends on the person/device.
I have no interest in the Galaxy line with the burn in prone AMOLED; no interest in the HTC One 2013, do to a terrible button layout, and impossible to replace battery; no interest in phablets, too big.
If someone gifted one to me I may use it, but I'd likely sell it for another cheaper phone and pocket the difference
