LG Optimus G

I love my LGOG. Best smartphone from LG ever.

 

As far as Robert is concerned, AGOG might be a better nickname for this handset.

 

:P

I went to a Sprint store yesterday to investigate the HTC One because of the pre-registration offer they had. The HTC was buried in the corner of the store, whereas LG had the big table in the middle. I thought the Optimus G was by far the best device in the store. Will probably pick one up next week when my contract is up.

 

Edit: unless there are any surprises at CTIA!

My EVO LTE took a dive in the pool so, I just picked up an Optimus G on CraigsList for $180.  I'm impressed, this phone is Very nice! It will certainly hold me over until my upgrade this fall.  $180.. What a steal!  :tu:

My wife's only consistent complaint with hers is battery life.

Yea, battery life for me is yet to be determined, since I've had the phone just 24 hrs now. Im interested to see what kind of battery life ill be getting.

It's fine.  But it is nothing on par with the HTC One or the HTC EVO LTE.

I picked up one last week off Swappa for $210 shipped. Such a huge upgrade from my Galaxy Nexus when it comes to signal and battery performance.

 

I also received an email today from Amazon Wireless saying that the phone is now a penny for new plans and renewing contracts.

I got the same deal. Except my old phone was the Nexus S! I am kind of astonished by everything this phone can do, it is in a completely different league in performance, screen quality, sparkliness etc. And I am definitely starting to appreciate the argument that the large screen is worth dealing with slightly more awkward ergonomics.

Djw39, I like the phone a lot, can deal with the ergonomics but I don't see myself wanting anything bigger.

I agree, and that's partly why I got this one now, because I kind of assume the sequel will be larger. Interesting that I objected to the size of the Samsung and HTC phones but this one won me over.

Man, I like this phone so much, I'm having trouble restraining myself from posting in every thread where people are asking "should I get a Samsung or HTC" and evangelizing for LG

I certainly think it's as good as (actually better than) the S3 and simply suffers from brand recognition.

I liked my EVO LTE as well.

I Couldn't agree with you more. I picked up an Options G on CraigsList because it was relatively inexpensive and I needed something to tie me over till my upgrade in the fall. Talk about a diamond in the rough.

There is a blossoming google plus community for the LGOG.    Join up and contribute.    https://plus.google.com/communities/109959980844323823662

 

Glad everyone is finally seeing what I have been saying all along.   Still love this phone and got it on launch day.  Now 3 family members and 5 friends are also enjoying the awesomeness of the LGOG

Alright so it looks like Sprint is getting either a new Optimus G or the G Pro Snapdragon 800 variant, which i guess supports LTE Advanced. If it supports 800LTE i would like to pick one up. Here are some questions i have related to LG OG devices though.

 

  • How is LG with software updates?
  • Is the hardware good?
  • What issues have you had with LG devices?

I have the LG-made Nexus 4 and can't complain about anything hardware wise; of course, the software updates are on Google's side and there's only been 1-2 (and I haven't accepted 4.2.2 so I can LTE hunt on T-Mobile), which wouldn't be the case with the G-series.  That's the only modern LG device I've had (I did have the Muziq and some ancient flip phone - 5250? - once upon a time).

Anyone get wifi tether for root users to work on the LGOG?   trying to tether with no luck.  

 

S4GRU policy does not allow discussion of unauthorized tethering on unlimited data plans.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
