My wife dropped her LGOG in the toilet.  She is devastated.  Mostly because she now is using an LG Viper to tie her over.  :)

I just got this phone on Monday. The service in low signal areas works remarkably well, I way out in the country and my HTC Evo 3D had some issues out there, this LG is a champ and have yet to h

I have been able to confirm with a source a 25th release date for the Note 2, and a 11/11 release date for the Optimus G. I don't know anything about preorder dates, yet. If there will even be any p

Well, I've had mine since Friday. Absolutely love it. It's super fast, great looking, very solid build quality, and I actually really like LG's UI. I have replaced the stock launcher with Apex cause t

You're hooking her up with a G2, right?  :tu:

 

I don't think she wants the G2.  We will be buying new phones on a new carrier probably on Black Friday.  I said she can have the first pick, and I would take second, my son and daughter 3rd and 4th.  The only rule is, is that no one can double up on the same device.  I want four different devices for my testing use.

 

I still haven't decided between Verizon and AT&T.  I'm quite distraught to have to leave Sprint now just as Triband devices hit the street.  :cry:

Ah crap, I already forgot you're not in Sprint native area anymore.  So the only choices are Verizon or AT&T?  That's pretty rough.  I'd say Verizon because they're CDMA, but I'd also say AT&T because I hate them less.  I would have a very hard time deciding, myself.  

 

EDIT: Now I see why you gave her first pick.  You knew she didn't want the G2. Brilliant!

Nexus 5 Black for you, Nexus 5 white for wife, Nexus 5 black for son, nexus 5 white for daughter. When in Sprint ( or Tmobile) territory just pop a sim and have at it.

Did we ever confirm the Nexus 5 will authenticate CDMA profiles via SIM?

I already have a Verizon line and an AT&T line.  So if I go with Verizon as our primary service, I would still likely buy a Nexus 5 for my AT&T line.  If I go with AT&T as my primary service, I will likely get a BlackBerry Z30 for my Verizon line.

Thanks Dave. I think I discovered it is minutes. When I set the timer to 120 it showed the BSR timer as 7200. Changed it to 2 and the BSR went back to 120. Anyhow, are there any tricks to make the LGOG find LTE? My wife has a GS3 and gets spotty LTE here now but no matter what I do I can't get a LTE signal. With my s4 mini I can set it to LTE only and get a signal many place around town but this LG has yet to connect to LTE ever. Any ideas?

Pretty quiet thread, I got a new LG Optimus G in late April this year (2014) (the person who bought it from only used it for a week).  I love the LGOG! Its an older phone now but its a great phone!!  There is one thing I am disappointed in is the LTE signal bars are the 1X/3G EVDO signal strength.  However not a BIG deal I have Signal Check PRO and have it set up on the notification bar.  

 

This phone does live up to hanging onto a VERY WEAK 4G LTE signal which is a HUGE plus I think!  I live in a small city and there is a tower up side of town and one downtown (both are LTE) and before I was never able to keep the 4G LTE signal driving from up to downtown and same the other way around downtown to upper part of the city. I tested this on a couple of other devices. 

 

Again I guess I don't need the latest and greatest smart phone but this phone is quite impressive, its not THAT OLD of a device really!  :tu:

This phone has held up really well. If it had the spark lte frequency bands I'd buy it again today.

I agree!  Its a solid phone, again its an older phone model now, and Sprint has discontinued it, I don't know why, heck they are offering WiMax devices on there site to this day! Also I found this phone to have the best speeds when I have done several speed tests.  I did 4 last night and I was able to average 31mps down and 9.5mps up.  We have solid speeds here, its consistent.

I've had this phone since 11/2012 and can't wait to ditch it on 7/1 when I qualify for a new device.  Been battling constant force close issues with the apps (especially text messaging and browser).  Battery life started out very good but has degraded significantly over time.  Incoming calls often roll to voicemail without the phone ringing.  Also occasionally have to reboot the phone to get certain functions to work again.

I still have this device and it's purring like a LION!

 

Is anyone aware what happen to the UPdate to KK 4.4.2 that was scheduled to be released by LG mid summer 2014. Last status known was LG had released the update but nothing ever materialized from the carriers.

 

 

Any insight would be great.

 

Thanks

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
