Jellybean for LG Optimus G

[S4GRU]

So what's your opinion on the LG?

 

I really like it. It's sized right. 1x and EVDO RF Performance seems quite good on 1900. Solidly with the top performers. It's performance on 850 Cellular is not quite as good, but definitely acceptable. I haven't tried it on LTE yet

 

I like the form factor and screen more than the GS3. Phone call quality is great. It will hold on to very weak 1x and EVDO signals, more so than any other device. However, it's not usable beyond -106dBm just like most other devices. So this is not an advantage. Many people report to me that the LGOG is a better RF Performer because of this. But it still is on par with the GS3, Note 2 and Photon OG. It seems better because it won't drop until -116dBm RSSI. This is a problem to me though, because it prevents you from roaming. If the signal is unusable between -106dBm and it -116dBm, it might as well roam at that point.

 

My biggest complaint is battery life. Its the same as the nexus 4. Giving me all day life if I don't use it. About 8 hours with moderate use. About 3-4 hours of heavy usage.

 

I like the LG Android Overlay a lot. Much better than TouchWiz I also like having EVDO and LTE bars. This is the highest quality LG product I've ever used.

 

My wife is already angling to take this device and give up her EVO LTE. She keeps trying to get me to go back to my Note 2.

I don't have it yet. I'm sure I will be last on the list to get it *rolls eyes*. But the official Sprint version is LS970ZVA and not ZVB as reported by others as an LG leak version.

I updated to Jelly Bean earlier this week on my LGOG. My oh My is it wonderful. I was a big fan of this phone on ICS. Now I think I am in love.

 

Sprint officially announced JB update today

I still haven't received the JB update for my LGOG. My wife has taken it from me though. I'm back to my Note.

Robert,

 

I used this method in order to get the update. Taken from Sprint Community.

 

 

1. Go to Settings -> Apps -> All

2. Find Google Services Framework.

3. Tap on Force Stop.

4. Select Clear Data.

5. Head back to the Sprint Optimus G System Updates, Do a PRL update then Profile Update then Firmware Update. Finally go to LG software update and you should see it there waiting for you to download.

 

Do it and let me know.

Had this phone for a week and so far best phone I have owned. Trying to talk into the wife buying one and replacing her iphone 4.
