I can't answer whether it's a Sprint device or not, I don't even know the manufacturer of the phone. It's possibly a Sprint device that's coming to market and being tested, but it's just as possible that it's a T-Mobile or Trac fone. They won't give that info unless I'm accepted, and even then I can't say what device if I do get accepted, because of the NDA they have me agree to. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

They should incorporate spellcheck into their ploy at DT AG:

I applied to take part in a beta that wants me to use my phone's SIM in the beta for the duration of it. They also specifically asked which SIM I had, down to a diagram showing different types. Would I be able to use my G2 SIM in a beta phone or would it work properly? Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

That being the case, I'm not sure what my next handset will be. As of 8/01, I can do my 2yr ...I'm thinking about a Note 4, but not jumping for joy over that one either. I really wish the G3 was not such a "meh" upgrade from the G2... I mean, a quad-core processor upgraded to......a quad-core processor... Just doesn't scream "feasible" to me especially when the biggest factor for my use isn't really getting an upgrade --- the camera. It's going to remain a 13mp with better OIS than current. Not sure there'll be enough bells & whistles to negate not getting more of a jump in processor/ram and camera. Guess I'll check it out on launch day and decide then.

The only problem I got with it so far is the random disappearing on the G2. U it's there one minute, gone the next. I believe this started a couple versions ago. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

Now this article says the Odin processor is in the phone...so which is it? This will be what determines whether I stay on g2 or move up to this one... http://www.breathecast.com/articles/lg-g3-release-date-price-specs-features-first-quad-hd-smartphone-fingerprint-scanner-better-than-lg-g2-teaser-video-15802/ Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

If this proves accurate, then I won't be buying. Not enough of an upgrade for me to justify. I think with such a small jump in tech, from quad core to.....another quad core...this time the LG flagship will flop. http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/552855/20140519/lg-g3-android-samsung-sony-htc.htm#.U3nxWNFOlTc Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

I'd like to use a crystal ball and see where the US data prices are going... If Son keeps his drive and competition, then others, ideally, should be forced to lower prices once Sprint becomes an absolute competitor in all markets nationwide...If he starts giving into stockholders wanting ROI, and raises prices to be even with others, we may never see death star and the guy who said "we'll never compete with others on price" be fearful for their cash cow and going forward, we'll be paying egregious prices just for data.

That's a lot considering a remote control for a tv uses less than one watt, only when you press the button too... “If left unchanged and all Xbox 360 models are replaced by Xbox One consoles, this one feature will be responsible for $400 million in annual electricity bills and the equivalent annual output of a large, 750-megawatt power plant–and its associated pollution.” my wife told me one unit at their plant(unit 5) is a 900 megawatt. Her plant produces ten percent of the power for the state of Alabama. (Also, unit 5 is considered super critical). Just for reference on power production and how generation works.

Considering where the xbox 360 and PS3 were in terms of power usage, the new consoles aren't just a jump backward, they are a huge LEAP backwards...especially in the "green" era (we all know how global warming ....nm).. But realistically, unless I'm doing something with my console, I don't want it sitting there sucking down power as if it's turned on. That's just not economical, or practical. If I were an xbone owner, I'd really think twice about letting it sit and suck down electricity because "I might decide to holler out TV ON instead of pushing a button on my 1watt TV remote."

Looks like Xbox power consumption is atrocious..says it uses almost half it's yearly power while in standby mode... The Ps4 didn't fair to well, but isn't as bad as Xbox. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2156044/study-xbox-one-ps4-consume-ridiculous-amounts-of-unnecessary-power.html Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

It's pretty common in gaming circles to see Xbox lagging behind Ps4 in sales. http://metro.co.uk/2014/05/15/ps4-beating-xbox-one-because-of-unsatisfied-ps3-owners-says-microsoft-4728907/ " However it’s hard to tell exactly what the gap is as Microsoft refuses to release exact figures. The best guess, based on the most recent shipping data, suggests it’s about 4.3 million for the Xbox One compared to 7+ million for the PlayStation 4." Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

I've seen it mentioned here that sitting on a tower and running speedtests virtually non-stop is not the greatest idea in terms of congestion and stress on a tower...and they are doing it with 8 phones at once...? What's the consensus on this method?

I'm guessing the dialer codes for LG G2 still are in limbo since the 4.4.2 update that did away with the ability.. I'm rooted but still stock ZVC and doesn't appear that any dialer codes, including #*0011#, work.

I'd love to see this in my area...

I noticed while visiting the Sprint store, Bham AL..last night that they have a Netgear (like, N6100 or something like that...without googling to be sure) but, it boasts LTE on 3 bands, wifi and router all in one. And a price tag that isn't far-fetched, $199. Anyone tried this, or know if they are worth it? Google showed me it's Netgear 6100D. I gotta wonder how this works...say for instance..if I hooked it up in my house, where only LTE 1900 is available (but I can't get it without driving 10 minutes or so to town.) No 800smr or b42 anywhere near me, lest Atlanta being closest. Looks like a business solution..but how does it generate its signal..using a broadband backbone...?

I wonder if the 3k mAH battery is removeable...as the notes behind it on that pad state? Got my wife the S5, after my daughter made her HTC One take a swim... I think she may have grabbed it fast enough to not harm it too much, but the screen was still flickering a little when I put it in rice last night, less than 5 minutes after it went swimming. Probably wasn't immersed but +/- 2 seconds...and it was also nearly dead when it happened...so just after putting it in rice, it went off on its own. Rushing to Sprint store at 6:30p when they close at 8p to try and get her a phone...then had to take it to her at work....without her knowing she was getting it. She thought i was bringing her HTC to her, and had no clue until I handed it to her. I'm holding out though, even with all the fancies I saw on the S5, it doesn't have enough for me to jump from my G2 to something else. I didn't see much at the Sprint store last night that really caught my eye, aside from the Flex...but, with the exact same specs as the G2 and just a bent screen, it's not worth me upgrading yet. I have a 2 year coming on 8/1, so I'm thinking I may hold out until then and see what we got going on in the phone world...by then, G3 should be out, maybe the One+1 or whatever it is.

Does anyone know if the reason you get the charging differences (slow versus fast) is because some cables are USB 2.0 and some are USB 3.0?I need to buy a couple new cables, and I'm finding that when I charge my galaxy tab 3 in the van, it just charges for a few seconds and cuts off...then comes on and charges....loop. I have a dual plug and I can't charge my G2 and tab at same time...and the prob is the cable. I can use the cable I got with my G2 on the tab 3 and it charges fine, but I don't seem to find any more of my cables that will do that. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

Ledgehair is petitioning for carriers to follow suit and do away with overages. Doesn't mean free data/texts/etc though, details below:

But if you do a factory reset, then SCRTN once it's reset, that should make it mostly safe if you've used this method? Just curious, I was thinking about a factory reset anyway just to make sure there aren't any rogue apps with the update. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

It's some sort of mobile ip registration error...just dunno what it means. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

I'm seeing this on my phone lately...anyone else? Or anyone know what this means? Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

I don't understand how there are so many probs with this phone...initially I DID have a problem with the earpiece being jacked up, and once I exchanged it and received this new phone (refurbish), I've not had even one issue. GPS has led me all over downtown Birmingham in rush hour, during Christmas...several times a week for the entire holiday season...My niece almost passed away in children's hospital and stayed from 12/16 until 01/17 at children's...so we made trips every day, sometimes twice a day. Granted after a little while, we knew the route well enough, but still would use the phone to search for places nearby to eat, stores, gas stations, etc. And since being given this second G2, no earpiece problems, nothing at all the least bit odd with it at all. Maybe a bad batch of printed circuit boards got into LG's stock....but definitely weird. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

Some undoubtedly has to be pinned anger towards the miss on the tmo deal. He's likely using that anger towards the US FCC rules to fuel the fire he's lighting under Sprint upper level management. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

I decided to use my MSL and enable the bands manually...but I left the proirity where it was. I'll wait and see if others had this, and what they did to theirs if the update didn't enable the other two bands before I mess with anything else. *edit* checked on the DATA>LTE>Band Priority and without me doing anything, I have: Band 25: 1 Band: 26: 2 Band: 41: 3
