[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Well, for starters you and I have different level of acceptance. When I buy a gadget with $600 price tag on it I expect it to be working absolutely flawlessly, perfect, or at least not worse then 1 years old gadget. Nitro out of box might seem fast, at first, but it hiccups, screen and buttons are not very responsive (just tell me how many times you pressed back button and nothing happens, before you realize you have to press exactly at that arrow, which is nearly invisible until you press it (face palm) or when you press something on screen and it takes 1/2-1 sec before something happens? 1.5ghz dual core my ass, excuse my french), compass doesn't work, no notifications through headset (I've been using it successfully on 5 different phones). And if you start installing some basic apps, you'll see how quickly the screen become sluggish, in fact, my 1 year old HTC Inspire with single core 1ghz cpu has better screen response, smooth scroll, just like iphone and it's full with installed apps. Ok, it's could be the apps not optimized for such resolution, but wouldn't you expect hardware to compensate?

Said that I was hoping to see a quick update that hopefully would address all or most of these issues, but it doesn't looks like it's gonna happened anytime soon.

So, for the next half a year or more we stuck with what we got. Yes, yes, we all hope the developers will jump on and we'll see some roms going on, but it's not what I'm talking about, it's the whole official level of support, it's the "lets sell them this half-done product and maybe we'll throw them an update or two a year later" attitude. Other companies probably do the same and some even worse, but c'mon just look at LG Thril, these poor bastards have been expecting GB update back in September, now they have to wait another 6 month!

Of course I'm very disappointed about it.
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
Also when you use GPS navigation and car charging, this nitro will get very hot and it refuses to charge!

I also have Samsung skyrocket, the phone never get hot like this!
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
You won't need ICS if we can unlock the bootloader. Why is everybody fussin over ICS?? The custom ROMS would be way better than Stock Android ROMs of any version. Just to prove it to u, my Atrix running on CM7 could do about 85% of the things offered in ICS. When I looked at them showcasing the ICS, I kept telling myself, " I have that, and that, and that as well". Nothing is new, except the face recognition unlock and things intergrated from Honeycomb.

So, in my opinion, big deal about ICS. If it does take LG that long to release the update, then hopefully before the time comes, we can get better ROMs.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
You are missing very important things about ICS - optimizations.

It's optimized for HD displays, hardware-accelerated 2D drawings (read as UI). Just this two are enough to be excited about...

@netnerd:

it does get very hot with heavy network usage (navigation uses both GPS and network alot, especially if you enabled any additional layers), however mine haven't gotten to the point of refusing charging, perhaps it's your car charger? If it's output only 1.0A, then it might be not enough, cause the wall adapter that comes with phone is 1.1A.

Also note, the "very hot" feel could be due to the metal plate around the camera which is much better heat conductive then plastic, so you'd feel more heat out of it then without it as on Skyrocket...
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
this in no way whatsoever describes how the nitro i own functions, i have yet to experience any of the issues you have.

also, i paid $150, not $600.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
So, you never experienced any slows down or jittering when scroll apps list or text in other apps? It doesn't delay open any apps for you?

After hard reset everything seems to be smooth, very little jittering in apps scroll, but once some essencial apps get installed, the jittering gets more and more.

The buttons issue, is probably because of unusual layout, but the fact that we can't control lights on them and they almost invisible does make it harder to use.

The $600 is retail price, I payed half of that, but I'm not stuck in the contract. I only mentioned the price just to compare what they ask for and what they actually deliver for that price...
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
it seems to me that the phone gets snappier as the programs most used get used. sure, there have been slow downs, just now going into the market, all my app icons took a moment to pop on screen. i noticed that.

opera, gmail, all the apps i use pop up pretty dang quick, more often suprising me with their quickness v. slow. the scrolling too, i don't find troublesome. yes, over the past several weeks of getting the phone dialed-in like i like it there have been times that i've noticed this and that but now that i am getting it finalized, it is snappy snappy.

and i do notice that sometimes the launcher does not recognize my screen inputs, but the stock launcher noticed them quite well, but to me that just means the launcher is probably not perfected for such a fine screen.

re: the price. i see. even so, sure seems like a better price tag than the google phone. what's retail there, $800? and no deals, subsidized price is locked at ~$300 + i'd pay $20 more a month at verizon.

for me (i.e. not for everyone :-) ) this phone *seems* to make sense. could be wrong but at the same time, we all know what it's like waiting for that super perfect phone. :cool:
[LG Nitro HD] novaIS350:
I tried to stick with the nitro through January and couldn't do it. This news of pics coming in q2 justifies my decision to return it and wait for the galaxy note lte or galaxy nexus for at&t. Hopefully a few devs come along and release this phone from its shackles.
[LG Nitro HD] 8mileroad:
It's not even confirmed for the Nitro HD, instead LG said it's up to the carriers. It's only confirmed for the international variant, the LG Optimus LTE.

[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
So it's even worse then we thought...carriers will only start thinking rather update or not their devices after LG releases the update...
[LG Nitro HD] dnorthington:
That's the way it's always worked.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Once it's rooted n unlocked, i dont think it matters if u use the optimus LTE update, does it?
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
yay for us! LoLoL!!!
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
I think LG is thinking all they need to do is put out a phone with monster specs and that's it, they're done. If it were a few years ago, before people knew that smartphones had an OS let alone know what 'Android' was, then yeah you don't have to care too much about OS updates.

But this is today and the Nitro is a competitor to the Galaxy Nexus. You better believe that EVERY OS update that comes out, the Galaxy Nexus is going to be the first to get it...So any 'decent' competitor should up it's game and follow suit closely behind. And 6 months later ain't closely behind.

I'm starting to talk myself out of the Nitro. My true love and want was the Galaxy Note but I got tired of waiting for a US release and jumped on the Nitro instead. But the funky menu/search button, no indicator LED, bad compass, sometimes sluggish performance, etc...
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Unfortunately for us there are no rules or regulations how manufactures should handle their products. That's why they more focus on creating new models rather then supporting already sold, maybe it's a good business, but this actually explains why so many people prefer overpriced Apple products...In fact after playing a bit with iPhone 4s on xmas, I'd be sold for it too if I wasn't interested in doing something myself to phone system as we can on android platform.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
im sticking to this phone for now, no matter wat. I will make it work with wat it has, n im sure, in a couple of months or so, we will have much more things with this phone. I mean seriously, this phone is only 23 days old, and we make it seem like this has been out for months and has no hopes of improving. Give it a break and show some patience guys. We are even damn lucky to get a permanent root so easily. look at the rezound, who's been out longer than the Nitro; it still doesn't have a permanent root. And in 23 days, we have the support of a couple of devs trying to get us CWM and several great users working hard figuring out the innards of this phone. To give u an idea, Tenfar did not even come out with CWM for the Atrix until April, almost 2 months down the road.

So you know wat, I'm not giving up on them. They've all worked hard to help us have a better phone, and I am not leaving them and their hard work to vain. I know it's about money and being stuck with a phone for 2 years or so, but hey, that's the price we pay as early adopters to technology. Want something proven and guaranteed, wait a couple of months when everyone already has the phone.

That's my 2 cent on the current situation; about ICS, about Unlock bootloader, about this and that. Things will improve in weeks to come, as long as we stick together and help, instead of complaining on how the phone is lacking this or that.

p.s. always remember, the SG II has a much lower resolution with same CPU, thus performing under less stress. And the Galaxy Nexus has a pentile AMOLED screen, again also using less power thus stressing the CPU less. That's where this phone is getting hit with lag and battery issue.
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
If i may insert my 2 cents:

Yes, the phone is getting hit in the power drain, compass, lag issues but you know what? I bought this phone knowing the stock OS was going to suck, i even locked myself into a 3 year term for this phone. i couldn't give a rat's butt about the OS because the i knew, somewhere in my heart and good sense of technology that this phone, with a custom ROM made by people that pool their resources and care about the hardware, would shine above all else eventually.

No one will convince me otherwise, and i will hold out hope, contribute what and where i can, to make this phone something i will use, something i will tinker with, something i will be proud of owning. LG just made the hardware, and they have a good track record for solid technology. We, the consumers, will have final say over the Software.
[LG Nitro HD] leobg:
Let me throw two more cents since we started...

Well, you're betting on the fact developers would pick on this phone. I am pretty sure it will be easier to unlock, bootloader and all, the Optimus LTE (Nitro) than many other phones, but if this phone doesn't sell in volumes, it will never get that attention. Undoubtfully, Galaxy Nexus (and even older Nexus models) will be much more popular among developer community. Galaxy S II will be more popular even..

Unless you have the skills to battle the issue yourself (develop custom firmware), this is a very unsafe bet you're placing IMO. I have made similar bets with many phones before and I know on my own those usually get lost.

I love the hardware specs of this phone, screen is absolutely, undoubtfully better than any other screen I've ever seen on a phone. I like the design too (I like conservative, industrial designs), but I hate the cartoonish interface with the wrong color combinations and overal unfinished look. Knowing LG, software isn't going to be without some serious glitches too either. Without, lets say, Cyanogen behind this device, I wouldn't put my bet on it. Not for $600 unsubsidized price at least. I have the feeling this isn't going to be another Motorola Droid or HTC G1/2. I'd love to be proven wrong though!
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
i can't seem to find ANY phone other than the nexus that will have ics in q1, new release or update. so it appears that no one gets ics for 90 days.

at least lg gave an update announcement, what's samsung's rollout strategy?
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
Now did those two cents come from a personal prospective or that you feel that Rogers would have no interest in selling this device? It sounds like you're basing an assumption merely on the fact that Rogers sold numerous N1's, which was a device exclusive to Rogers.
[LG Nitro HD] novaIS350:
Samsung galaxy s2 class devices will be getting ice in q1
[LG Nitro HD] leobg:
I am not talking about Rogers or Canada alone, I mean global sales and global development community.

N1? You meant Nexus One, or you meant G1 maybe?
[HTC Desire S] Cauf:
When your phone is stuck (on white screen for example ), how to proceed to flash a recoverytool or ROM via USB and PC?

Does this works via adb or android flasher or something else ?

Yes , i am newbie :p
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
If you have custom recovery adb is fine.

If you can access only the bootloader then the fastboot command comes handy
[HTC Desire S] Cauf:
Ok,i will check:

If the phone is still stock or not ( phone is second hand)

If I can get into bootloader (USB)
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
If it is stock and you have warranty stay Stock.

But if you don not have warranty you will be not able to do much with Stock and S-ON. In this case is better to S-OFF and root.

But you will not get in a white screen if you are not doing stupid things to the phone I think ;)

I would like to ask if someone knows, how can i make my songs (.mp3) to have recognizable characters at every android media player. Let me make clear to you that non-english characters (greek letters) at my songs are nearly unreadable at players. Media players play such songs normally but i can not read their IDE tags (for example: individual artist's name, album's name, e.t.c....) Every android file explorer can identify their name, (so windows 7 do) but not the android players ( i have tested almost every media player available in market, now i am using miui player with the same problem). I have HTC magic with CM7.2 and the problem is with greek letters in songs which they appear to me as chinese ones and therefore i am not able to make playlists, choose a specific song from my list... How can i fix this??

This is SBF file which will get your mobile to stock and also will lock your bootloader (it's not going to be locked again but it will remove "unlocked" from top left corner).

In order to use sbf files you need to download RDS lite and have moto drivers installed. (If you are already unlocked then you will have all this tools)

This is link to original thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125944

REMEMBER this is an SBF file and it's not the safest way to go back to stock (but the best) and can brick your mobile if your pc is going to stop working/freeze/resboot while applying sbf...

Hope this help

P.S I did go back to stock this way and gave my phone for warranty without any problems.
