I have & I'm find the G5 even smoother. The biggest improvements has been Bluetooth reliability. I kept getting dropouts on 6P but none on G5. I don't regret the change 1 bit.

Also, I'd find the 6P would slow down gradually, even just hours after a reboot. The G5 stays fast indefinitely.

Really that sounds reassuring I suppose the 4gb ram must be coming in handy. I was really disappointed with the note 5 also with 4gb ram as the thing was sluggish. Am glad the g5 in your experience is smoother.

I had the Nexus 6p.Good phone but slightly too big for me.Happy with the G5

Hmm still undecided especially having used my wife's Samsung galaxy s7 edge. It still remains a bit sluggish compared to my Nexus 6P. This for me is more visible especially when using taloon for Twitter which on my 6p scrolls smoothly but on s7 edge it's choppy. Also concerned with the limited dev support of the g5 as well.

Any custom Rom i flash on my LG G2 was more smoother than stock Rom of LG G5 I use now. How can LG G5 can be smoother than Nexus Rom?

Different cases.
Mine is the exact opposite of yours, my G5 is way more smooth than my G2 with any custom rom, i've tried: CM, RR, Bliss and DU.

Just traded my Galaxy S4 for the One.

At first, wasn't digging the briwser, because it's slower than the s4, but this thing is silky smooth with apps and etc.
Although I'm kinda pissed, because the guy I traded with had a pretty busted up ONE, and lied to me on the phone about the phones condition, while I had a mint condition s4.
Overall satisfied. Screen size could be better, but overall nice.
Why do you prefer the ONE over the s4.

I had an htc one, then went to the s4, and bow I'm going back to the one on Tuesday and selling the s4 to a dear friend. I found the stock htc browser faster than touchwiz. Touchwiz lags on me big time. But I found out about next browser a few minutes ago By I really really like it. Works really well. Check it out. But I prefer the one because the interface is cleaner and faster than touchwiz. Also feels better in the hands

Are you talking about the stock HTC browser? Did I get a defective phone? Not being a smart ass. I really think I did. The stock browser literally takes 10-15 seconds to load certain websites.
Chrome is good, but I find that the HTC is horrible with scrolling and moving around the page.

I would imagine load times are very dependent on your internet connection. Especially if the web page contains a lot of pictures/flash/videos/anything besides text.

OK, NVM. Now the stock browser wants to be fast. I must've been doing something really wrong before, or maybe pages loaded from bookmarks are slow. Its very fast now.
I'll keep using, and update if it slows down again. My connection has nothing to do with it. I'm always fast speeds.

Nexus 5 vs LG G2 : Camera comparison

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq-3ZhAjCqU
In my opinion, G2 has a much better color capturing. But in few videos G2 did have problem in focusing.
In still shots, G2 > Nexus 5.
yeah the n5 killed the g2 in video. videos on the g2 are just awful compared to every other flagship.
Sent from my Nexus 7 FHD using Tapatalk 4
Not only are videos awful, but taking pictures of anything that is moving is terrible. The only thing the G2 camera does well is landscape photos. It's to the point where i am probably going to get rid of it and go to a different device because i use the camera so often. I can't believe in all the G2 commercial they are focus on how good the camera is the whole time. False advertising at it's best.
Bad video comparison is bad. I seen better ones. In my opinion g2 is better.

What video were you guys watching? The G2 was the half on the right. I thought besides some minor focusing issues that both cams exhibited the G2 was better or the same in the various scenarios. With manual focus the G2 could have done much better on the fireworks. I don't know if the My has a similar manual focus.

If your son is not running to and from you the manual focus feature might be for you, also holding down shutter locks the focus for a few seconds to take a few quick shots, there is also a burst mode as well.

There is a sports mode, but that still uses something like 1/6s shutter time when indoors (and in the morning, so not very light). There is also a burst mode, ISO is upped with that one and you get a shutter time of 1/15th...

Nexus 5 video camera simply look horrible in comparison to the G2's: the image sometimes appears too dark with the Nexus 5 to the point that you can't see what's going on (left attached image). Moreover, Nexus 5 picture looks blurry and unfocussed much of the time, and so it's hard to see fine details (right attached image).
G2 wins big time (unless you're blind, I guess...).
It seems that LG ****ed up the Nexus 5 real good (horrible battery life, bad camera, lower quality screen, etc.).

the main problem is the focus, as you've stated. it's constantly trying to focus when it doesn't have to,and clearly the n5 doesn't suffer from this. it looks a little better at that half screen size yeah, but the second you make a 1080p video full resolution, you lose all clarity. it becomes blurry, softened and in lower indoor light pretty much looks like ass. it's not as sharp as it should be, and that's probably lg's awful post processing.

Taking stills out of a video like that isn't really fair, I could do the same to show the G2 fault.
On the first picture look at how the clouds bleed out on the G2 and the N5 have more detail.
On second picture the sky is all bleed out on G2 and the N5 show blue sky, but lack detail on the ground.

Have a feeling the Nexus 5 focus benefits from the newer revised camera app vs the one on the G2. We need a software update!!!! Our camera is the best out...we need a better stock app to bring out the features

I'm on CM10 right now and I notice it's slightly better, but definitely not reliable in any way in a house in fairly low light conditions.

I completely agree that taking one frame out if a video is unfair, but I also think after each phone got a chance to adjust properly that the G2 still looks better. There are also several well lit scenes that I couldn't tell a difference.

[Q] Is the E970 a good buy?

Contemplating on buying the E970,
been comparing it with the Nexus 4 and the Xperia SP since they are the only phones I like in my budget. I'd like to know your opinion. I am impressed by the hardware of the phone, but I'd like to know a few things before I make the purchase.
Firstly, will I have issues with the network or any other feature using the AT&T unlocked version in India?
Also, is the notification LED on the E970 RGB?

LED is red only
...and it's an awesome phone with lots of life left with the right XDA support.

Please for your own good, get the Nexus 4. Either that or live in the Nexus 4's shadow. If i could go back, I'd get the N4, you get pure and stable roms from Google and of course, you get updates faster
At this point in time, considering what the LGOG brings to the table vs the Nexus 4, I wouldn't buy a Nexus 4 but that's just me personally. Can't tolerate devices without expandable storage myself, so the microSD card slot on the LGOG just makes it a must-buy vs the Nexus 4, not to mention the addition of actual LTE support without jumping through hoops to get it working.
And considering even the Nexus 4 is now in a holding pattern of sorts to get the factory KitKat image, being a "Nexus device" isn't helping it be any better than the LGOG at all.

I don't get this idea of shadowing. If such way of thinking is correct, then every device is in nexus's shadow. I think the goal is to have a good working phone at the end of the day. This phone has a good variety of roms to help you get there: official supports of CM, Pacman, slim, all the unofficials and the very good stock rom. Also this uses sd card, nexus doesn't

Dolby Audio really?
The sound on E970 SUCKS! I use a headphone amplifier but even with that the sound is crap. Dolby Audio really? I miss having a removable battery. Lastly, when the phone gets hot, there is a built in cap that limits the brightness of the screen. (Live in SoCal High Desert with summer temps of 110 F)
The quad core is fast and can handle quite a bit at one time. I listen to music while playing games, reading emails, cruzin' the Play Store and the internet all at the same time. Haven't had any crashes yet. There is plenty of storage internal storage. I have a lot of downloaded music and a few large games and have yet to roll over to the 16 GB external card.
Biggest disappointment is definitely the sound!!!!!!
Loving my LGOG. The sound is a bit weak. But everything else is great. I would recommend getting a best buy type warranty or a case for your phone. Gorilla glass is slippery like wet snot. I've had the back glass beak twice due to the phone sliding away and falling.
I'd buy it again.
Sent from my Optimus G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Coming from an HTC device before this one, the sound is not that great but it works for me. Also the camera is not a big deal. Basically the same as the nexus 4.
I'm have been using houstonn kitkat for over a week and battery life is greater than stock and performance is awesome!

i had HTC One VX with s-off practically since day one. there are very few custom roms for that model and only one aosp like which was cm10 but very early build. s-off is very easy, no need to do wire trick but i have done it to other older models like Vivid and Amaze.
i really missed stock android for months until i got my lg e970
Sorry, but would someone explain in brief what S-Off and S-On mean?
Also, I'm considering getting the Optimus G Pro instead because I find the looks more appealing and few extra pros over the E970. But the development there seems more or less stalled. Gotta risk it, I guess.

I'll try, others feel free to add upon this. Different manufacturers use different mechanism to secure their devices. With htc its "security-on", it restrict what hboot you may run on your devices. I had an htc evo v/ htc evo 3d, with security-on I could only run hboot 1.07.07.07 whatever which only allowed stock based ics roms. After achieving s-off I was able to put a different hboot on my phone , i had jbear 1.47.47.47 i think.. which in terms allowed me to run a lot more roms. S-on also restrict what you may flash. For example firmware and radios, here we call it modem? Don't know the difference, can't be flashed with s-on.

My LG G2 is being delivered tomorrow.

Will I be disappointed? Will it blow me away?

If you have much free ram on android something is wrong. Android is based on Linux and it runs faster with the ram as full as possible.

Hey, think what you guys want. Haha
There's a reason they keep including more ram in phone's. But hey you guys know best right?
Hahahaha. K.
More free ram will always allow for more multitasking and a snappier opening of apps. If you geniuses want to run your phone's bogged down to ahead. More running processes also loads the cpu.
There's so much wrong in what you guys are saying it's not even funny.

I would take Houstonn's PA 4.0 over CM. I use PA as my daily driver and I don't see any bugs. FYI, I use my G2 as a phone, meaning Emails, calls, sms, internet( for info search only), gps, lite YT and all of these work just fine for me.
Can't complain with mine....coming from L920.....very fast, running with Buckeye 2.1....mostly stock, just debloated.....LG G2 has come a long way from the LG G2x...I hated that phone mostly due to the poor battery life....and the crashes and reboots.....gave it to my son then passed on to his mom, the ex-wife, but surprisingly, she's still using it.

S6 edge or edge +?

Just wondering is it worth the extra dough to get the edge plus or just get the edge? In the market for a new phone and I am stuck on the two and the nexus 6 is catching my eye as I need to tether and I do have foxfi but more and more phones are not working on it. Please give me some info to help me choose. I was a die hard HTC fan but the past few phones has left a kinda sour taste in my mouth and need something new.
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
Its definitely worth the extra money for the plus. The only thing is if you are wondering if you can root it, the phone bricks itself and says you have rooted it. I think it forces you to do a factory reset to use the phone again. If you aren't a person who roots their devices, or you can live without rooting it, this is the perfect phone for you. I absolutely love this phone except for the whole root situation...

I got the plus in the end. I have rooted my phone in the past but as long as foxfi works I have no need for root. I am enjoying this phone more than I thought I would

I was a rooter all the way but then realized I did it mostly to squeeze out every drop off performance. Edge+ is so fast that I don't miss rooting. And we can disable apps on this phone which does allow for even more performance. Octa-core rocks!

Yeah this phone blows my old M7 away in performance and battery life. Plus the fast charge is unreal

What did you expect? It's been over 3 years since the M7 came out. But yeah I have the Edge Plus and it rocks.
Is foxfi working?

Yes
FoxiFi works great for me. Download speeds between 12 to 25 Mbps.

Had the edge and battery wasn't going well and ram was getting too full. Went to the edge+

I need it, more performance is needed for me, it doesn't transition as smoothly as i thought it would, i still see stutters here and there, though the ram management is somewhat better than my previous phone, though it's still disappointing that even with 4gb of ram it doesn't hold apps in the background as well as the htc m9, battery life is somewhat a letdown as it's near the same or worse than my previous phone, though it could just be my phone probably has a defective battery. Just glad this thing has fast charge or else i would've thrown it away with frustration or returned it.
