I just upgraded to the G Pro. Man, for the first time I feel like I liked the previous phone better lol. I still have the OG , I look at it and wish I didn't buy the G Pro lol. ArtMod is a great rom, it really makes the OG so much better in my opinion
Going from the G to the G pro is not really an upgrade. Our need the G2 or the G2 Pro to be an upgrade.
You just got a bigger screen

It's not just about the screen. You do get an infrared port, bigger removable battery, higher res. display with a few more bells and whistles. The thing though is that if you're running Artmod on your OG the move to the G Pro is not all that great a move, the G2 or Pro 2 would have made much more sense,
I'm planning to make that move myself. There's very little support for the g pro compared to our G. All things considered(and no, i cant afford a better upgrade, really wish i could though) is it worth it?

I got mine for 150. If you can buy one locally you may get lucky buying it cheap. Ur right, development for the g pro is poor. I do like the screen, very beautiful. If there is a well-made stock based rom for it, it would be perfect. Mine has a crack on the screen, I'm still blown away by how beautiful everything looks
Btw I sold my OG for 160 so I break even

The shape and size of Optimus G is just perfect for me. G Pro is too big for my taste.
I bought the lgog for my wife and I back in march. Best phone I have had owned. Still better than any Iphone released specs wise. Screen size is perfect. It's a great phone and now with the kitkat port from Paulicat its even better.

LGOG's big brother is coming out really soon! Anyone plan on getting?
I was tempted, but 5.5 inches is just too large for me, even if I needed a new tablet-like device. Then again, I thought the OG was large for a phone when I got it.
That huge battery though...
I like my OG like I like my beer: Liquid Smooth!
I got the Optimus only because of its similarity with nexus 4. I'll pass on the lgog pro.

Damn thing seems so good.
But I am afraid it might lack in its popularity in terms of development.
I am a Korean and OG Pro has been a great success. A lot of people actually prefer buying OG Pro over waiting for SG4!
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
I am waiting for it to drop next Friday so I can check it out in person then decide which phone I am getting. Leaning towards to OG Pro for the size, internal storage and overall features. The S4 is nice, but no 32GB yet, and reports of lag due to TW UX. I like Samsung and have not used an LG Android phone yet so I have no experience with updates.
Now I see the OG shipped in November 2012, and got JB 4.1.2 in March so that is promising, and does that mean the OG Pro would see 4.2.x in say September or such time frame? Before the GN3 arrive for another "push" in sales.

Well I paid retail so if in 5-6 months GN3 looks hot I can use my upgrade and get it, but for now the OG Pro will do for me. The GN3 would have to be really better in all respects, RAM, storage (usable STORAGE) and come with 32GB or more of usable storage.
I like Samsung but given how much stuff they are loading into their devices and the way the internal storage is being used up I have concerns, BUT, I still like their hardware. I hope the GN3 is a Snap Dragon 800 processor.

Gonna stick with the LGOG. The OGP is a little too big, it won't fit in a pocket. I feel like id drop too easily, I'm also suspicious about support for the device, like the post above me says. The OG is perfect. I can't wait till A new version of android so I can get my hands on a ROM

As mentioned by someone else, it never hit me that we only have ROMs because LGOG is so similar to Nexus4. We shall see what the Note 3 has to offer i guess. Thanks for your feedback guys
decided to never own a samsung device again.
lgogp seems like a solid device. cant wait to get the shipping email tomorrow!
I'm thinking about getting the pro as well, but am concerned at the amount of devs to support it. I might hold out to see if it picks up any traction

Hey guys I'm trying to decide which of these devices I should upgrade to. Mainly asking the people who have had both the one and the g2.
I'm leaning towards the one because of the great speakers and I've heard the screen has more accurate colors. The screen is my biggest priority I want the most realistic looking screen for pics and vids. Do u notice the 40 pixel density difference? The difference in super LCD vs IPS?
Also will the g2 get decent dev support? Another reason im leaning towards the one.
Also interested in overall experience. Thanks for your input.

So it looks like the ones screen is better in most of those graphs?
I have both HTC one and LG G2 but I had sold the One already.
1. 5.2" > 4.7" (But the size & hand feel is similar)
2. Snapdragon 800 > Snapdragon 600
3. HTC One has purple camera issue (physical damage to CMOS due to over exposed, not fixable, need to send back to HTC to change the camera)

HTC One dev support doesnt help on the VZW version (considering they quickly shut down the HTC Dev site before anyone could root/unlock bl)
I can see the G2 dev support being close to the same as the Gnex, and thats saying a lot.

Yeah that's right. Especially Viper ROM for the HTC One is the best custom ROM I've ever seen on any Android device. The possibilities for tweaking stuff are endless. It would be very hard for me to give up on this.

Just curious, what gives you that idea? It would be awesome if true, but it's kind of hard to believe. GNex support has been awesome since the beginning and, while tapering off now 2 years later, is still going strong.
I'm a manager at a verizon store and I own both devices right now. Personally the One is a good device and all but its already an old device and the dev support is there if you get s-off which by no means is easy. Hboot 1.54 is virtually impossible to get around at the moment unless you send your device somewhere to get it done. Even though I use apex launcher to skin Sense 5 wasn't horrible besides blinkfeed because you cant get rid of it at all. Battery sucks on the One also and there's no denying that. The one has a beautiful screen and the speakers and the build quality thats it. The g2 has awesome battery and the screen is awesome. Software wise I actually like there skin but you can easily root and change stuff. The g2 will have good dev support I believe. In the end its up to you though but either phone you will like. :good:
I'll chime in too.
I had the One and now the G2, with a brief two-week stint on an S4 as well. I prefer the G2 overall to all of these devices. The screen is fantastic and once you look at it, it's hard to go back to the 4.7" screen of the HTC One. I know the question was "which has more accurate colors?" but as far as usability and pleasing to the eyes, it's the G2 hands down (for me).
What completely sold me was the battery life of the G2. My One was dead by the end of my work day and the G2 battery life is easily hours longer. Strangely enough, the device does not feel any larger than the One in any way. I love the rear buttons, the camera is great and really the only thing I can see the One having is front-facing speakers. Yes, I will miss those, but it's a rare occasion where I actually rely on my phone speakers for entertainment.
All in all, I think the G2 is the best phone out right now. I would have tried the Xperia Z1, but I'm not playing the waiting game for a US release again (and it will probably be $759 anyhow). I walked into the AT&T store and paid the retail price of $579 for this G2 and will never look back. Yes, it's plastic, but it's built extremely well and just feel lovely to hold. It's so much phone for $579, especially considering the retail prices of the other two I had were higher, if not significantly.
Oh, one last thing - the G2 has a notification light that you can actually see. The One has one that you can see if you know which of the 200 speaker grill holes to look at
Edit: One last, last thing...I rooted mine, installed TWRP and flashed Scott's CleanROM this morning. With all the AT&T junk gone, this phone is darn near perfect.

I called about 10 different Tmobile stores in the Western Chicagoland area. 8 of them have the phone in stock but none have it in white. I was told I would have to wait until Wednesday 9/25/13 to see if its available on the official launch day...
That sux. I had my One all packed up ready for exchange...
Personally, If you're choosing between them, I think your thread & my thread have just about all the different reasons why we should switch to the G2.
It seems the general consensus are people who had the HTC One are happier they switched to the G2 despite all the Boomsound speakers the One provides.
You lose that with the G2 but gain in all other departments. That's why I'm switching

Carried by all major carriers, and international
Spec-wise its a developers (and geeks) dream
Already been rooted and Loki-d so its ready to receive any custom ROM developed for it.
I don't think it will be very long before we see CM on it either. It seems to be that once CM is there, lots and lots follow.
Ive used a ton of different ROMs on my Gnex but I keep coming back to the same 2 or 3, and I know at least one of them is fully prepared to port to the G2 if they can get the files/hardware they need.
All I can say is wow. Had this phone for a few days now and it really is the best I've had...
I've had Samsung S3, HTC Sensation, Google Nexus 4 amongst about 20 others.
Here is where I think the LG excels.
Screen. Obviously my first full HD screened phone but just wow. Looks great and just feels right. Decent brightness and viewing angle. Using it at 35 percent brightness suits my usage.
Software. Some of you may have strongly differing opinions here but here goes. Im waiting for official KitKat for UK g2 but I've installed the German Vodafone KitKat. Runs so smooth, nowhere near as bloated as sense or touchwiz. I like the white tabbed menus, I like the few customisation options like icons and the soft buttons. Knock on and off is fantastic less buttons equals less bezel.
Battery. Max screen on time I've come near in my usage on any other phone was maybe 5 hours tops with really light usage. With this phone I'm hitting 8 hours.
Camera. Not a huge user of the cam but compared to other phones I've had I'm getting fantastic results in general day to day. I'm sure low light is where some of you would dispute.

Yup really is.
Good thing is that it seems it will hold its own for a while. There aren't many new chipsets coming out. The SD800 is pretty much it. Even the next gen Galaxy phone is based on it. So we're right at the top as far as performance and compatibility.
i just got my LG G2 (T-MO) a few days ago and i love it even on stock which is rare for me. from what i can tell 4.4 has just rolled out recently which would explain the lack of root methods that do not involve reverting the OTAs and custom T-MO specific roms which is just more for me to look forward to. I even have my work cell forwarding calls to my G2 because of the handset love!

At LG you can remove the bloatware. At least on KitKat froms for F320. I'm not sure it's the same for other variants.
LG is the next to rise IMO, the G2 is just the beginning. There needed to be a new leader anyways. HTC had their time and Samsung is done.
Do you think you will upgrade to the galaxy s5 or is it worth it. i dont think i will be but unsure right now
I just read that the HTC next one will have double tap to turn on the screen. I guess lg is doing something right.

I have bought a g2 16Gb version 1 month ago and still feel very happy about my choice
Was about to get a nexus 5 but the battery and camera of G2 had me going in that direction..
A very good phone, it's worth buying the LG official quickwindow case as well
Im running stock LG unrooted rom and havent felt the need to tweak anything yet, which is weird since my previous phone was a galaxy nexus and during the last months I was used to trying a new ROM every afternoon
FYI 4 colleagues of mine also got a G2 after seeing mine during the last month
Specifically for the 16Gb version, you need to carry an OTG cable and a usb stick if you go on vacation (which may mean limited or no LTE coverage) and want to use the phone to get pictures and video, as video will get the available storage get full rather easy

I changed from a Galxy S4 since one week.
VEEERY Happy so far. Its much faster, battery life is great, and it feels very good in my hands.
Oh and it looks awesome in white
Since the main CloudyG3 thread is for devs only or something.
For those wanting to try it out and you use the D800, I just wanted to say that I have no issues at all, and I mean none as far as normal phone function, now if some particular app does not work or if when pushing on screen with your elbow while drinking water I can not comment on. Battery seems great so far too, it is pretty cool that we get to have G3 stuff on our G2. Have not played with the smart tips stuff much, but split screen worked.
Only bug is I do not have a QHD screen, hopefully CloudyFa can fix that in next release, lol, I know that's not a bug, calm down.
Ok so im looking to buy a secondary phone to my S5 and im very interested in getting a G2 back (this will be my 5th G2) because of the new Optimus UI. So is this cloudyG3 rom awesome?

Coming from a HTC one and nexus lines this LG is my first and I must say it has given me a different learning cure thats for sure, I have bricked this g2 a few times "in the early days of owning" This gave me a bit of a challenge but that's what we all like right ?. But one thing is for sure it's a great phone for a small price. Buy one sure you won't be disappointed!
I'm tempted to get the G2 now instead of the G3 as I found the size of G2 to be perfect and I prefer the display.
Heard the FM Radio doesn't work and the photo quality isn't very good as the app is meant for the G3 camera. But it's a fantasic that it works so well so soon. Hopefully can load G2 camera app.

I'll be buying the D802 International version which has FM radio, sim-free only S$530 (~US$424) here in Singapore. The G3 is S$770 (~US$616) which is actually quite tempting but I feel that comfort is more important than latest specs. The G2, for me, is just much easier to use single-handed. Really dislike the glossy plastic back cover though.
Looking forward to flashing this ROM straight away!
I love the g3 port but i havent been able to change any of my data settings mainly my roaming settings on my ls980. Do you guys have the same issue on other variants?

From my point of view it doesn't worth to buy s3 in 2014 and I will tell you why, don't get me wrong it is a good phone but not extraordinary.That 1 GB of ram is not that capable with 4.3, or 4.4 sammy and the bad exynos processor bleahh, so I advise you not to buy S3, or any Samsung( it is a totally s*** ), now depends on how much money you have for your new phone

Maybe take a look at the S4? It costs around 300$ if you find the right seller
Now I would buy a nexus 5, a little bit more expensive but it's a really nice phone.
After a S1 and a S3 I also need some changes.
Yosh,
Don't forget the LG3.
G3,S4,NX5 all of them are expensive in my country.Maybe G pro has same price as SGS3.Will try to look up at right seller.

From my point of view it doesn't worth to buy s3 in 2014 and I will tell you why, don't get me wrong it is a good phone but not extraordinary.That 1 GB of ram is not that capable with 4.3, or 4.4 sammy and the bad exynos processor bleahh, so I advise you not to buy S3, or any Samsung( it is a totally s*** ), now depends on how much money you have for your new phone

great features,yeah maybe...features like smart scroll,smart stay and other smart features I never used,this occupe alot of RAM and slows down the device and if the device has 1 gb of ram the situation is even worst.Best phones NO,I mean there a alot of brands better than Samsung,if you ever used a HTC you know what I mean,it(HTC,in general) has not as much bloat as samsung puts in their phones,samsung puts tooooo much bloat...of course this is just my opinion and I still don't recommend Samsung anymore,I regret that I bought S3 but this is the life

Hmm...don't know what to say I used a HTC one s and at that time I had a s2 as well and the one s was more faster, cooler and the battery was much better so I remain at my point of view that Samsung is no more a big manufacturer, at least for me... )
And if I would to buy a new phone I definitely choose a AOSP phone, like nexus 5 or ONEPLUS ONE

I'd also say don't bother. The display's picture quality is rather poor compared to the competitors at the time and all of the current gen high-end phones. My phones wifi is defective, effectively giving me 2-3m range. The back peels off and the fake metal plastic rim gets damaged very easily. The led indicator is only good at displaying R, G or B, as it doesn't mix effectively at all. The display and resolution needs to be a bit larger, as the lack of quality makes certain tasks difficult. I'd suggest a bigger display anyway. The Samsung official software (I'm currently using S5 software), is rather lacking, it hides useful Android features and gives a plethora of useless features which are poorly organised into categories.
I'm considering getting a new phone. It's hardware is pretty good, but it could be so much better in every aspect.

Get a g2. Port over sense and collect that $1000 bounty. Then get whatever phone your heart desires
No, Don't buy it. If u want an older smartphone choose the HTC One M7. S3 is just too outdated imo and I hate touchwiz from samsung hence why I have AOSP
If I were you go I'd go for Moto G.If from older devices: HTC One M7,also if you can look at HTC Desire 816 (if price in your country of it isn't very high) if price is too high you can look at HTC Desire 601.If you wanna be update to date with Android updates choose Nexus 5 .Just everythng depends on your needs. But Galaxy S3 won't get official Kitkat update (so officially it abandoned and forgotten by Samsung) also,Sudden Death syndrome bug (it will only depend on luck if you will get affected or not affected by it)
