LG G2 -- the first Sprint tri band LTE handset (was "LG Optimus G2")

For those with the ORIGINAL Optimus G, the QUADBEAT earphones...does it have 3 buttons control??  (2 buttons for volume up and down while middle is for selection)???

 

EDIT: I know that LG came with Quadbeat, which has a 3-button remote.  Has anyone tried an aftermarket eaphone/headphone with the Apple remote??  Does the volume buttons on the Apple remote work on LG phone when playing music (to go up and down on volume)??

 

Thanks!

Not sure how I feel about the power button/volume button on the back as I tend to pocket my devices but I will have to see how reviewers like it. 

 

To me the most important thing for this device is RF performance.

The original LG Optimus G is definitely the strongest contender in the RF department out of the last years devices released. (S3, Evo LTE, and Lg OG.)

I think the LG status bar looks much much better than the Touch wiz one. Blue and grey is much nicer looking than green and grey. I'm ready to try this bad boy out. The app icons don't bother me because I use Nova Launcher with custom icons.

I agree better than touchwiz, but man I want a true black status bar so bad...

That's an easy PNG or XML edit. I'll definitely be making that mod for this device. I exclusively run black status bar mod on any touch wiz ROM already. I do it myself. :P

My wife is going to love this phone. Her biggest complaint right now is smartphones are too cumbersome for her small hand to hold and power on etc easily and she doesn't like the side power buttons.

Battery is 3000mah plenty of juice for a full day of heavy usage.

 

The problem is that i am somewhat of a "power-user" and eat up battery a lot!  Even my Note 2 can't survive more than 6 hours!  Therefore, i charge often...which kills battery.  And if i am keeping this for 2 years, then i need removable battery so that i can throw in a new one when the old one loses charge.

 

Same thing with micro-Sd...i watch movies a lot on my phone (via ripped movies).  And with a 13MP 1080p camera/video, that 16GB internal memory will fill up quickly if you also have a decent amount of apps.  Hopefully, Sprint will offer both 16 and 32GB, but Sprint usually gets the short-end.

 

Wow, these two may be deal killers for me! :(

I don't understand the pre-launch rumors...crap, there was even the freaking owner's manual showing SD and removable battery!  How odd that the rumors (even just yesterday) could be THAT wrong!  Oh well.  99% chance of me getting it to 10% after reading the previews.

Well the non removable back and no sd card just killed it for me

 

My condolences for your loss...

 

:P

I'm usually next to a charger and stream most of my multimedia so limited storage isn't an issue for me.

I flash roms and plenty of times I need to take the battery out. Plus when the battery degrades just put a new one in. I don't like streaming music, I like to have it all with me since I won't always have a signal or wifi.

    • Checked just now and found a 56MB GP System update pending...will follow up after install.    Edit:  Confirmed that this one moved from August to September 1 after updating.
    • Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
