I'm getting really bored with my G2, don't have money for new phone, tried 90% of roms and stuck with G3 rom. Am I the only one here ? I started using my G2 only for calls and messages

Ok.
Then use AOSP/CM/OMNI/PA or whatever.
This is the con of flashing ROMs - if you begin flashing too much, you end up not finding something nice to keep.
Its a phone man, what you expect it to do? to take off from your table and fly?
Just find one cool ROM and stick to it - or even better, since 90% of the ROMs are no go, then unroot it and enjoy stock. Disable some apps and have a party, trust me you'll find it snappy

But from reading this forum I'm getting nervous. How's everyone's battery life? Is the overheating battery and 3-4 hour battery life after it over heats common? Screen staying on while charging normal??? I am coming from a droid inc2 and I think I'm ready for a different brand but I get really nervous lol. $200 is a lot of cash for me and I really don't want to regret spending it. Someone tell me not to buy it or everything will be fine lol. Any feedback back would be much appreciated.

I got mine about 3 weeks ago and haven't looked back. Even though I broke the screen and had to replace it.
Now down to the battery, I plug mine in at 11pm and plug it out at about 6:30 to 7:00am I use it all day for calls, email, twitter, Facebook, xda and lots of other things. Basically I'm on it all day and by the end of the day I have about 20-23% left.
On the odd occasion I will plug it in during the day for about an hour but really it's not needed.
Go for it, you won't regret getting it.

It's gigantic IMO to big for a phone, but that's just my 2 cents. Samsung seems to be selling them like hot cakes, so what do I know.
So I have my hands on this beast now! I started out with a Nexus 4, traded for an Oppo Find 5, then traded that for a Note2 traded that for a Xperia Z, traded that for a Galaxy S4, then traded that for a HTC One, then traded that for an LG G2!
I am keeping my eye out for the Moto X, its intriguing to me...BUT not over the LG G2, this thing lasts ALL day on battery.
My question now is.... am I holding the original designed phone that the Nexus 5 is being made out of? Should I consider getting the Nexus 5? I dont care for the stock Android thing or updates because I am rooted so that is not a factor.

I never pay full price for my phones. I always trade... its so dumb to me that people think they have to stick with the phone they signed a 2 year contract with...SMH
I honestly didn't think i would get someone to trade my HTC One for a G2, but when I got that offer i made sure to do it ASAP!
Anyways what do you guys think? Or better yet what would you do? go for the N5 or stick with G2?

You are guys very lucky!
In my country it is very difficult to trade phones. We usually sell used and buy used or new. This process causes loss of money as you know!
I have always tried to trade but never worked! (Most of the time trades are just not logical ; like an s3 for a blackberry curve or such)

Honestly the only thing thats a big factor are the prices. The lg g2 is better then the nexus 5 IF you are rooted (pure android). Bought my lg g2 from a guy that didnt need for 500 bucks. 50 dollar difference than the nexus 5 that just came out. just got cyanogen on it and it'll work as good as the nexus 5. The nexus 5 only had the pure android experience and the price as an advantage. I got both of these from my LG g2 so for me there was no point in getting the nexus 5.

Someone offered me a 2013 Nexus 7 and a HTC One for my White 32gb Note 3. I am pretty sure i am getting the G2. Really would love the N5 , but Google play says it won't leave the wear house for 3 weeks and I don't have anything to b use til thenn can't 3 weeks for a phone...I hear the G2 is pretty dope and almost the same performance wise as the note 3. I am nervous I am gonna miss this note 3 too much tho. Just can't hand not being able to rom/kernel all that good stuff.
Still thinking about that Nexus 7 and HTC ONE trade.

The price is a lot more incredible too. Problem with both is, the bootloader issue. They are working on a safety strap to work with or as a recovery. I think N3 is closer to that then the Mega. But he Mega is made to be more affordable. It has already been approved for 4.3 upgrade, 4.4 ?????? We'll have to see. Just 2 weeks ago att had it for $49 online.

buying the note 3 is like going out and buying an ip5s, your stuck with what the manufacture wants you to have
Samsung can suck a hole in a wall and leave android for all i care now days, they peaked with the note 2 and now are on the hill downwards with apple
with that said, 4.1.2 is the last stop for the i717, we are way over the 18 month period and were lucky to even get 4.1.2
the Knox security is a hell of a mess from Samsung for sure , but I still got hope that will not affect the development for this device. Maybe more time but not the end . all this mess for more money in theirs pockets ..

I'm stuck on which device I should opt to get. I've become accustomed to the freakingly large screen the note offers. Anything smaller and I might flip...The mega doesn't really interest me that much...I really have no idea what to get. I however might jump ship and get the N5. Its only 349/399

I upgraded to a Note 3 and its a huge improvement from the note 1 , the pen works really well and find I use it a lot more than I did before. Go to your carrier of choice and play with one before picking something you are unsure of. l rooted mine no problem (Im not a big fan of Roms because they always caused problems after 4.2.2 For me anyways ... something always broke.) My mission now is to find the best functioning kitkat rom as it was meant to be buiIt for aging phones that dont have the impressive specs of a newly released flagship device. l almost got a Xperia Z1 because of my tablet Z but didnt like the bezels top and bottom, (AND NO PEN). Awesome job on the pen I cant stress how much better it is?

I have an S4...but I want a note 1 as a back up. I had the Note 2 but I sold it for lots of loot. The S4 is brilliant but the locked bootloader has cramped the phone to the point of constipation as if you got a S4 on MF 4.2.2 firmware or MK 4.3 firmware the boot loader is super locked. They even killed the service menu. So Im selling my S4 for cash + the note 1 for temp use until I see what I want next. Samsung is the only phone company left with dual storage. LG has the Optimus G pro with 32GB and an SD card slot, but with the specs on that phone they will never see 4.2.2 on it.. And it's a beast of a phone...so I will take this Note 1 + $250 and call it a day until February

Do it. There is nothing better than getting a Nexus. I jumped to Nexus 4 from the Note about 10 months ago, and just upgraded to a Nexus 5. The developer support on a Nexus is amazing. I could have easily stuck with the Nexus 4 for another year, but the lack of LTE was bothering me a bit. A Nexus phone is pure gold. By the time the Note got to be the age that my Nexus 4 was at, I was tired of it. Don't give another dime to Samsung, who will spend it on rewriting perfectly good android code into buggy bloatware. Don't let the lack of sd card bother you. I have lived with 16 GB storage without any issue, and Nexus 5 comes in 32 GB too, for just $50 more.

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 used for a week and couldn't handle the lag...I am used to Samsung lag after using S3, Note 4, Note 5 but this lag is terrible. I just feel they rushed the product. Initial release of UX software to Note 5 was smooth...but they screwed it with Note 7...I heard it is only for US carrier versions though. But the battery has been good...

Phone itself: 10/10
Best phone I've ever had. No lag, great battery (though I did have to disable some bloat to get it), and the phone is gorgeous. My only gripe is the autocorrect which works badly IMO.
This whole recall mess: 4/10
It sucks and it's concerning. My phone hardly gets warm while charging, but you never know if or when something bad could happen. I'm not too scared though.
Im glad Samsung voluntarily took the hit and did the recall. It just sucks now that the government has gotten involved and that everyone is scared and that the media is just eating this up. Once the new phones come, I'll get one and be happy for quite some time!
