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.

seems that sprint is releasing jelly bean finally ....but in stages go figure. anyone get the ota update yet?

 

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.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
