Trade worth it? - Sprint LG G3

a buddy wants to trade his note 3 for my g3, is it worth the trade?

Not to me its not. 2k display. HD audio. Form factor is just beautiful. I don't think I can go back to buttons on side of the phone lol. My last phone was a note 2 it was good but my data always sucked and grew tired of seeing Samsung's colorful cartoon looking icons. Oh yeah Knox.
My next phone is probably gonna be the HTC m9 after or m10 after playing with my wife's m8. That's depending what lg G4 or 5 does. If the rumors are correct about them adding a stylus to directly compete with the note, count me out. There's always nexus.

I can't see taking a step back being worth it. If you're considering it I'm assuming you're not happy with the g3. If that's the case I don't think you would be any happier with the note 3. I'm a Samsung fan myself and still couldn't see stepping down to note 3. Now the note 4 I would be willing to trade for though. Anyways good luck in your decision.

After much thinking. I've decided not to proceed with the trade. I am happy with the g3. For a split second there some features of the note series caught my eye. I decided that I like the features of lg a bit better than touchwiz. Thanks for both of your opinions.

Coming from a note 2 and now being on the G3 for 3 weeks, I don't miss the features of the note 2. I never used it as intended, I never used the stylus, no need for it and I review documents for a living. People that do use it idk how or why, other than to look cool and show off. I could never comfortably write on it. A 10"+ tab, sure that I could use but the note phone screen never worked well for me that way.
I like the G3, it was a nice change and upgrade from the note 2.

The idea of the stylus is very enticing right now. But not enticing enough for me to make the swap. Realistically, I don't know what I would use it for.

I tried to incorporate it but just never found a real necessary use for the stylus.
I got the note 2 for the bigger screen. At the time it was the only mainstream device over 5" I think. It replaced my tablet and a lot of my laptop uses too. But now I have a device with the same screen size and it's lighter and easier to hold and use. Plus I really don't mind the stock LG skin.

Optimus G2 tease?

I watched the LG CES 2013 trailer video thing on youtube, and general speculation is that the G2 will be announced with a 5.5" screen and bumped up specs from our precious G. What are your thoughts? Will it be a Note 2 competitor, or a G replacement? And how do you think it will affect our updates?

Powerwise yes, but the note has a far larger screen. A 5" + screen would make it a closer competitor. See LG intuition for where I'm coming from.

What does anyone need that massive for a screen for lol. Besides if someone wanted that, wouldn't they just get the note 2 instead of this? I don't understand. :x

Agreed, minus the purse. I have large hands and having tested a Note 2, I think the LGOG, and phones of the same size for that matter, have reached the optimal size for traditional use, IMO.

Ask the millions of Note 1&2, or for that matter tablet users. Or ask why anyone needs a screen bigger than the 3.5" one Apple first put out.

It's called competition. The Note phones have proven there is a market for phablets. I'm going to guess you're not studying economics or business.
I returned my Note 2 in under a week. It is too damn big.
I'll be at CES next week. Hopefully there will be something interesting to comment on.

Then I guess this will blow your mind: http://t.co/91c3vTNA
I believe with LG's newfound success regarding the G, a direct attack on the Note would be fantastic, as well as possibly a new tablet. The G2 would fulfill the phablet competition that currently hardly exists. The LG Intuition is too wide, but a form factor like our G with the larger screen would be fantastic. Add a pen display, as well as having quickmemo, and the Note has real competition. Considering LG Displays is suing over the Note 10.1 in Asia, this may indeed be their plans in a nutshell. As HTC slowly falls (sad but apparently true), it's time for Samsung to have a true competitor in the Android market. I would love to see Motorola to come out of the blue, but that seems doubtful to happen. LG has an opening, and I think they should take it. I've been a Samsung fan, and still somewhat am (the siii disappointed me), but I think nothing makes products better like competition. The iphone is competition of course, but there needs to be android competition, or devices will get progressively worse.

If it is actually 5.5 inches then I don't mind even if it is technically the successor to this phone. Only thing id like in this phone that the g2 has is the 1080p screen and the camera if its any better

... I'm not talking about tablets. If I was talking about screens in general, I would be complaining about laptops, desktops, and tv's as well. But I'm not. It's a personal opinion, and a personal opinion of a few others, that a phone doesn't exactly need a huge screen. To each his own if they prefer that size. Apple has a ridiculously tiny screen, so I'm not really sure why they were even brought up lol. Considering I'm a girl, I have naturally smaller hands and have no desire to hold a phone that I need to doublefist. And even some men agree, it's too much.
No reason to be so nasty, Butler. (;

Sorry, not trying to be nasty. Just trying to point out that just because you (and for that matter, I) have small hands doesn't mean that everyone does, or that there's only one size that the market wants (as Apple seems to believe). Everyone thought Sammy was crazy for putting the Note out there, but since it and its followup have been very successful, it's only natural that other OEMs want a piece of the action. I'd like the big screen (even if I did have to double fist it), but there's no way I'd be comfortable having that thing in my pocket, and I'll be damned if I'm wearing a holster for a phone.
I'll be honest, I can't reach the whole screen of the OG with one hand, but I don't care. I arrange my icons to be close to my thumb, and use two hands when I have to. :shrug:
Didn't mean to offend. :angel:

Except not, haha. I guess I'm in luck with the whole small hands + long fingers thing (my grandma has always told me I have piano fingers). My only fears of extending my fingers is that it slips out of my hand and falls on the ground. I have a case, but I still use at least one hand to balance it. Can't get too ballsy with this phone.
No new smartphones from LG announced. The tease was a smart remote. Nothing more.

Is this an underrated phone?

It's so cheap on att and only $50 on wireless amazon currently. It comes with all the top specs you can find today, excluding the upcoming 1080p devices. However, I'm getting mixed reviews from websites such as amazon and phonearena.
Any xda feedback i can get?

Highly underrated phone...... it beats almost all phones on any benchmark. The screen is amazing good feel in ur hand dont feel cheap like all the sammy crap. Only downfall is the camera but one of the devs fixed that with a camera mod here in the forum.

Pros: screen, best processor, micro SD slot, everything else I don't list as a con
Con: ..... I don't really consider these things bad at all but they are not the best. Battery is good for me. Camera takes good pictures for a smartphone. Its overheated like three times not really a big deal and I've had it since the beginning of December when I bought it for 200$
The combination of the amazing processor, plentiful ram, display( quality and size) , and the inclusion of a micro sd are its main points.
Yes this phone is highly underated and cheaper and still the phone i would go out and purchase today

Well in my opinion it's the most underrated phone on the market. Fast, well designed very mild LG skin(I use Nova so that takes care of that for me) and a nice sleek design even though I have it cased up due to work.
This is the third LG phone I've owned and the best device by them by far. Although I liked the other two I owned. Coming from the HTC One X and I don't miss that phone at all, nice device but dev unfriendly and HTC just isn't my thimg with their horrible Sense junk.
Buy it for the price you won't regret it imo. The dev community is a nice solid group as well.

Hah we're very alike there! I'm also coming from the HTC One X(L). I liked it for sure, and h8rift/rohan32/etc are fantastic devs. The only thing I miss at the moment is Cyanogenmod 10.1. :highfive:

Well I personally haven't had the overheating issue and like I said I rock a case because of work. Then again even though I have overclocked ever other phone I've owned, I just don't see a need to with this phone. I've also noticed very few people with the issue. If it was an epidemic I'm sure I would have noticed more since I seem to practically live on XDA, lol. Between here and the Note 10.1, One X and Atrix HD forums.
What's annoying about the phone is that sometimes you cannot put the brightness all the way up. Also camera is not so hot. Great phone overall and happy i have it (first android phone). With decent use my phone lasts about 10-12 hours.
If you have a decent phone right now I would just be patient and see if you like any of the 5 inch 1080p phones coming out (and possibly Galaxy S4). The screen "should" be superior, we won't know until we see it in hand comparing but another thing would be that the new phones will have a bigger battery (optimus pro g if in the USA will have a 3300 battery). If you are fine rooting etc than this phone will be fine but if not maybe the newer phones would be best as it would come with Jelly Bean and more than likely come out with 1-2 more updates (just pure speculation on my part)...whereas this phone will prob get Jelly Bean and that is it- however JB or not this phone runs very smooth and quick on ICS.
If you decide on this phone you will definitely be happy with it, especially at 50 bucks! Hell the Optimus G for Sprint is buy one get one free!
I think one of the reasons this phone is so far under the radar is due to the Nexus 4 stealing it's thunder. The OG and N4 have all the same "guts" but the N4 gets all the press due to having "pure android" and being first in line for all OS updates. That is all well and good, but I couldn't stomach being restricted to 16GB (11 usable) of storage. Not when I can buy a 64GB microSD card for only $40 and store all my media that I like to have on hand. Don't trust the cloud...
The OG also has LTE. That's not important to me since I'm on a Straight Talk plan, but it is a nice bonus feature for most people.
So as long as you're comfortable waiting for the devs here to keep you on the latest and greatest software, this phone IMHO is better than the Nexus 4, which most reviewers are in love with.
Thanks for the great feedback everyone. I was indeed comparing this to the Nexus 4, but this has LTE and N4 does not. However, i was also debating whether or not i wanted to wait for the 5 inch 1080ps instead because well, I like a big screen.

My personal opinion is that the phones are getting too big. I played around with the Note and Note 2 to get a feel for the size, and I just didn't care for it. I need a phone. Not a phablet and that's what I see it turning into at that size.
I agree. Phones are getting way too large, the Note and Note 2 are way too large for my taste and hands for that matter. I have a Note 10.1 tablet and love it so why do I need a bigger phone? Just my opinion as I know phablet users who love it.

If you like big screens and your current phone is fine, I would wait on Galaxy SIV and G Pro news.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Only real complaints I have are the speaker volume (fixed with the Sony enhancement) and the camera isn't that great (which doesn't bother me too much).
Also, the lack of updates. It doesn't effect me since I'm a flashoholic and will flash ROMs anyway, but still... It's more the principle of the matter. LG sucks so much with the updating and this phone should have had JB upon release.
What ever, I want AOKP and CM anyway!

Yeah I do like larger phones. My brother has a Note 2, and upon playing with it I already know its the perfect size. However, I have yet to get the Note 2 because of its price and me being a fairly smaller guy, I'm afraid the Note 2 will be indeed too large for my skinny pockets. So I may take your (xda) word on this phone and purchase the Optimus G within the next week or so.

Its definitely underrated. There isnt any major marketing of this phone, and to be honest people dont really trust LG because of the lack of support and updates. But they did a terrific job with the optimus g, every review that i read/watch praises this phone, how crazy fast it is. Now lg needs to support it and build some momentum to carry it over the optimus g pro.

Unlocked i717 for Nexus 4? What do you guys think

Trying to get some opinions here. I have a ATT unlocked Note i717 and a guy wants to trade his brand new Nexus 4. I know to some this may be a no brainier but from what I've seen it's not all that. And it's made by LG. I was thinking it'd be a advantage to get and trade for something else but it's not that popular in my area it seems. And granted you can get it for $300 for the 8GB and $350 for the 16gb (which he has).
I love my note and don't have any issues with it really. What do you guys think?
I would do it, especially if it is a straight-up trade.
Yes, it is LG, but Nexus 4 and Optimus G (and pro) are very well-made phones.
Nexus 4 will get updates right away, and has better specs. In the long-run, it is a better phone to keep. As much as I love my Note, I would trade it for a Nexus 4 in a heartbeat.

Well didn't keep the guy waiting and did the trade. It's almost as if I walked in the store and bought it myself, that's how new it is. I'll give it some time to see if i'll grow on it but so far it was definitely a good trade. No cash involved just a straight trade. The guy was happy with it.

yet the nexus 4 was just labelled as #1 most likely to break... atleast 2-3 times a week i see people posting their broken glass nexus phones, happens way to often.
any phone made of glass front and back is not worth it unless your getting some hefty ass case for it. no clue why lg didnt learn from apples mistake with ip4/4s glass backs always broke, same happens here on nexus 4's/lg g's
and yes it will get STOCK ota update faster, but most people run aftermarket roms which get updated just as fast, so i have no clue why people try and use "gets updates first" as a selling point to people, esp on xda
but to op, id go into a carrier that has a lg optimus g and see how you like it before trading just to be sure your ok with smaller screen, i got an s3 recently and gave it to my sister 2 days later, the screen size was to much of a deal breaker.
I bought a nexus 4 a few months ago and was able to get $360 for my note on eBay.
Took a few days to adjust to a smaller screen size but I got used to it.
No LTE kinda sucks but I've been getting over 10MB down on HSPA+ so I can't complain there
Battery life has been somewhat disappointing but the N4 charges very fast and I never find myself going that long without access to a charger
Other than those gripes the phone is really, really good. I wouldn't hesitate taking the N4 over the Note and I loved my Note.

Getting an s3 was the best decision I ever made. So much smoother and better imo.
That being said I would take a note 2 in a heart beat.
Flop? The note is probably not going to see official jb and ics is laggy.
The sales of the nexus 4 are insane, the gpu/cpu destroys the notes.
I would make the trade just for the specs the of note is great especially with a custom ROM but eventually it will be outdated you will get more life with the nexus 4.

Well I took the trade and haven't looked back. This is a way ahead of the Note in terms of specs. The screen size was not a issue at all. Don't take this as dogging the note cause I'd pick one up any day, but as far as the market is concerned this would be in the top picks.
For all the comments about the build and it breaking, well to each their own. I've had zero issues with mine. Some people don't really use caution when handling already cheaply made devices. And it goes for any phone that it's possible to come with defects from the factory.
As far as LTE, the Nexus 4 is capable of. With the .33 radio and a custom rom it's no stranger. T-Mobile has only launched LTE in a few cities but it'll soon get around.

I just sold my note today. Waiting for my nexus 4 to ship. Hopefully it doesn't take long. The reason I choose the n4 over the note is that development over at the n4 forum is pretty busy.

Switching to the HTC One (or any smaller phone)

I've been slowly making the switch from my Verizon Note 2 to the HTC One on T-Mobile and I've quickly learned a few things.
1. That initial realization that the Note just can't be compared to any other standard sizes phone. There is no way I could say either the One or the Note is better just because they were designed for two completely different ways of use. But the only thing I'm going to miss from Samsung is the multi-window feature. I'll live without the pen.
2. Removable storage. there was something really convenient about being able to swap SD cards depending on my day. I have a music card and a video card that I would switch out if I was going to work or just vegging on the couch while beaming videos to the tv.
I've seen many times people talking about switching phones and almost immediately coming back to the Note, but there's a more specific switch I had to make in my daily routine to make me not want to come running back. I mean, the One is in no way a small phone, but when set next to the Note, it looks like a 4.3 inch phone. That's where I'm having to make the switch. The fact the my phone needs to be a phone is where the One becomes a better fit for me.
TLDR Peace yall. I'm moving to the HTC One.

You'll be back. No worries, we'll welcome you as soon as you figure out just how productive that massive screen is.
No, it's not a perfect phone. However I've adapted a few minor things in my life to accommodate the Note 2, and I am all the more productive for it.

I've been slowly making the switch from my Verizon Note 2 to the HTC One on T-Mobile and I've quickly learned a few things.
1. That initial realization that the Note just can't be compared to any other standard sizes phone. There is no way I could say either the One or the Note is better just because they were designed for two completely different ways of use. But the only thing I'm going to miss from Samsung is the multi-window feature. I'll live without the pen.
2. Removable storage. there was something really convenient about being able to swap SD cards depending on my day. I have a music card and a video card that I would switch out if I was going to work or just vegging on the couch while beaming videos to the tv.

What do you mean the phone needs to be a phone?
Were you having signal issues or something?

Because there are post of people going from other phones back to this one and there needs to be a balance.

Good job.

Yeah, HTC, and Verizon did such a good job keeping the rezound, and the thunderbolt up to date. I hope that this works out for you. I will say that Ihave htc phones, and this one, and the signal isn't that much better. Plus I have never had this phone go into bacon mode like my 6 rezounds.
Today, young ,men on acid realize that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciences sharing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are just imaginations of ourselves And now to the weather.....

Sounded like he was being sarcastic. The rezound took forever to be updated to ics. I had it months before Verizon updated it. I sold the phone before it got that update. Lol I love HTC but the Note owns the One in real world use. But to each their own

I left Verizon in April this year and made that stupid decision to try tmobile again. In fact I too had the HTC one. I loved the phone, so smooth. I just couldn't live with spotty coverage and no signal at my office. I came back to Verizon this month and have the note 2. Everyone tells me that I sound so much clearer and louder than how I sounded on the HTC one. Plus my husband HATED when I was on blue tooth with the HTC one, he said it sounded like I was talking behind a grinder or a blender with rocks in it. Not the case with the note2, very clear. Plus the final straw was not receiving text messages and missing dozens of calls even with a signal. You will be back to Verizon, trust me it's worth every penny!

Two things, both personal opinions:
1. HTC sucks
2. Tmob sucks more than HTC.
The HTC one actually performs very well, just not sure if every HTC one is plagued with poor sound quality with calls. Since I got the note 2 I can't see how I survived with anything smaller. Great screen, love the multi-task feature and the s pen. And yes, t-mobile does suck.

Thinking about selling

Hey guys, it's just been on my mind lately to sell this thing while the value is decent and get something that is more development friendly. If you guys got rid of your note 3, what would you get? On the used market. I love the battery, camera and all that is sweet, I find myself not using the pen as much as I could. But really I get really auntie anne's like changing ron's and right now there are only a few. I'm not blaming our developers or anything like that, I know that it's verizon and samsung balls, but the truth is I just thank something with more development would be amazing.
