[Galaxy Note II General] AcousticBruce:
13mp pixel does not make the camera better. The colors are better and low light is MUCH better on Samsung.

I have a note 2 and was deciding for a while between those exact phones. I was worried about the screen... but it looks beautiful.

One thing weird though... you have to go into the android settings menu and go to "display" change the screen mode to neutral. The standard colors on the screen are way too cartoony. I do not know what this is default. It almost made me not get the phone until I saw that this can be changed.
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
I like the Note II's screen size actually if slightly larger better yet,so what is the size of the LG comparing to the Note,if its smaller I understand why you have failed to mention...
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
wait for Galaxy IV :p
[Galaxy Note II General] msedek:
theres not a single valid reason there on Gpro that beats up the note.. probably if you mention 5,6" screen..? does it have it? oh wait its less than 5" meaning its considered a downgrade for any note owner and.. for the record.. its an LG and it runs ICS still and it has a locked down bootloader](meaning no custom roms at all), with LG your device most likely will end up its life with the same OS it came out.. and all the things I mentioned are the main reasons of WHY never in your life get an LG lol.. heck even the nexus model its having hard times hehe
[Galaxy Note II General] enrold:
it's clear if you put this post in this thread it's sure the people tell you that samsung is the best. I prefer samsung. :)

You've already answered it yourself. You listed all the nice features that make the Note 2 worthy, but you only listed hardware specs that aren't really that noticeable (1080p vs 720p is still not a big difference - refer to reviews of you want) and can be disregarded. Adobe flash is easily installable, and the camera on the Note 2 is superior in low light and color reproduction.

From a neutral standpoint, I'd go with N2, namely due to thermal issues on the LG OG Pro, lack of stylus and slow updates by LG.

Oh, and did I mention unlocked bootloader out of the box and extremely easy, 15-second root installation?
[Galaxy Note II General] pakure:
Extra features on the Optimus g pro

Full hd

13 mpx camera

Snapdragon 600 (the new version)

32gb inbuilt memory

3140 mah battery

But you expect things to get better with new releases. ..the only thing I think is of more in that is the snapdragon 600... rest I don't think much of

scribbled from "the phab" (the note 2 -N7100)
[Galaxy Note II General] Phistachio:
It doesn't have the S600, it has the S4 Pro, same as the Xperia Z.

EDIT : Yup, it has the S600, apologies! But still, it comes down to whether you want raw power or useful features.
[Galaxy Note II General] HellRa1SeR:
G Pro vs NoteII

G Pro has 13 MP BIS by Sony(Exmor series) whereas Note 2 has 8MP BIS by Sony.

So obviuosly the LG will be on par or better.

G Pro has 1080p LCD display. Its higher res, better colors. While Note 2 has 720p display with battery efficiency and vibrant colours. Almost same. But the LG wins.

The G Pro has the Snapdragon S4 Pro 600 (even faster) + Adreno320. The Note2 has Exynos Quad + Mali 400 GPU.

On CPU terms the LG is somewhat ahead, but the graphics processor has almost double the performance.

LG wins again.

Note2 has S-Pen2.0. None on the LG Optimus G Pro. Shame :(

Nifty Samsung bouquet of features like S-Play,Tilt, Direct call. Not there on the LG.

Samsung has a better resale value and service network.

LG will not be easily available and will be quite expensive.

The LG Optimus G Pro is a new product which builds on the great hardware that its predecessor provides. Its obviously better.

But I love the Note 2 more. Its way more functional.

Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy Note II General] s3rous:
Doesn't the LG also have wireless charging? Not that much of a difference, but worth noting for some. I still core GN2 or GN8!
[Galaxy Note II General] EarlZ:
Better colors on the LG is purely subjective.
[Galaxy Note II General] Slimer777:
Assuming both displays are calibrated correctly then definitely AMOLED. I am not saying IPS is bad.
[Galaxy Note II General] HellRa1SeR:
LCD displays reproduce exact real-life colours, whereas AMOLEDs sometimes saturate colors. But I do get your point. Some people do like vibrant and colorful displays. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] plskillme:
We all like vibrant color displays, we'd all have to stick with our old devices if we don't.

@TOPIC - The only thing I don't like with AMOLEDs are the bluish white tones...

There's no doubt newer models of smartphones are designed to out-do the older ones even if the model is just 6-months-old.

I actually like the LCD displays more than OLED since they are more uniform and dont struggle with any shades of color unlike on the Samoled which has issues with a few colors and the mura effect that some are getting. blacks are a bit brighter but not that much, though LG is known to have slow update rates and this is whats keeping me with samsung.
[Galaxy Note II General] Phistachio:
Woah, first the design is a blatant rip-off, now the UI AND pop-up software has been also ripped off. That's low man. Never going to get LG in my life after seeing this disgrace, I'd be very happy to stick with Samsung and Sony.
[Galaxy Note II General] HellRa1SeR:
Thats exactly what I feel. IMHO I prefer LCDs. Its an older tech thats been more refined than the AMOLEDs. But thats just a personal opinion.
[Galaxy Note II General] artorelis:
Don't support copycats (LG) man. :)

Smartphones with BIG SCREENS belong to Samsung. They invented this class.
[Galaxy Note II General] EP2008:
No spen, no Optimus for me. The note 3, however, is what I'll be saving up for :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Zanr Zij:
Op Pro narrower about 4.5mm. LG did a good job :). But finally I will not change my Note 2 :D

No matter how good the hardware if the software support is **** then the phone is ****. Besides LG should just stick to making kitchen appliances and home entertainment systems. It gets worse when they copy from a copy cat, I don't know how low they can go.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Galaxy Note II General] msedek:
Lol what a crap device.. A vulgar and cheap copy of note.. Besides software support from LG it's garbage.. The phone will die with the software it came out and they use locked bootloader Wich means no custom roms and hardly root..

Good luck to all jumpers.. Will see you soon back

[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
I don't think the XpEria Z is better than the note 2, seriously. But for that type of comparison, it's good to imagine if both phones were released on the same day cause newer doesn't necessarily mean better.

So, the XpEria z has a higher res screen, has a more powerful processor and is waterproof.

Note 2 has a bigger battery and much better battery life, S pen ffeatures an removable battery.

The Xperia Z does have some minor lag here and there, the screen, while having a high res, is a little washed out.

The note 2 is a Big phone and isn't for everyone, I honestly can't think of any other cons. It is honestly the greatest phone of all time.

As far as the optimus G pro I don't know it well so I'm not sure. But by the time it's released the note 3 would be here which means bye bye to.the competition.

I owned 2 note 2 so I know about that phone, and have been following the Xperia Z for the past few weeks.
[Galaxy Note II General] Magnumutz:
Had LG devices, don't want any more LG devices.

Their battery life sucks!

That's why i chose the Note II and didn't get the original Note. Battery life wasn't that great with it.

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

Not really. It was Dell, with their Streak that started this trend.

But they simply didn't have the same success as Samsung has had with their Note line.

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

That's the only thing that's going to beat the Note 2.

And that's because the Note 3 is coming as well as the S4.
[Galaxy Note II General] EmptyArea:
To be fair to Samsung; they had to wait until they could make a light; powerful; large screen phone, with an elegant design and a good enough risk and margin for their business and brand. They did well with the Note 1 and really did credit to their brand with the Note 2.

The S4 may creep into Note 2 territory but it won't be truly be replaced until later in the year when the Note 3 comes out with a full HD screen, Exynos 5, improved S Pen, water proof, strengthened glass, 2nd gen secure pay hardware, and design wise just an up stated note 2.

But depending on the price I'll be torn between it and the padfone infinity depending on price and dev support.
[Galaxy Note II General] xhizorsz:
Note :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] Sneazel:
Any phone that doesn't have a removable battery and/or storage is not worth getting. Just that alone puts the note ahead of the lg. If you want to tweak the screen to your liking on the note 2 you can slap on perseus/redpill kernel and use stweaks. The note 2 has a lot more longevity in terms of updates, support (s3 community also) and is a more productive phone, tons of customization (anything is possible if you search properly), takes no more than 30 seconds to root and is a lot more than just a phone. My friend was bragging about his iphone 5, I just quickly put on an miui rom and showed him that its just a toy compared to the note 2. Untill the s4 or note 3 comes out this is the best phone period. Just my 3 cents
[Galaxy Note II General] IsolatedAbyss:
The only thing Optimus G Pro has an edge is the better specs (but you also have to consider this is released later than Note 2) and that it is slightly slimmer. I saw the white version from reviews and I really dislike the back cover. Note 2 wins hands down in all other areas in my opinion.
[Galaxy Note II General] EP2008:
I'll have to agree. Low storage can severely limit your phones usefulness and makes data backup/transfer a huge PITA. And until these devices have week long battery life, removable batteries are a must. I expect only entry level devices to have no external storage and removable battery options.
[Galaxy Note II General] BratPAQ:
on brands, samsung wins for me hands down, for specs its LG, for support thats the question. Is LG like samsung that releases new updates twice a week? LOL

I gotta be honest, ever since I heard phones popping-out with full hd, i kinda regret buying note2, i only had it for 3 months and theres already better specs out there and im tied with this plan for at least 2 years. but then again note2 is still the best phone available on my network and this phone is virtually free because im only paying for unlimited data and voice/sms.
[Galaxy Note II General] Loveless_23291:
May Samsung Note 3 have 128 GB internal memory?

[Galaxy Note II General] ph34rl3ssL34d3r:
Hearing a lot of pro-Samsung ranting and raving. And why not. It's a good device.

I'll be picking up the Optimus G Pro in Japan when it goes on sale in a week or so.

It all came down to 3 reasons, in order of importance;

1 - Narrow-width design (If I'm buying a giant phone, this is the easiest to hold 1-handed. I don't want an S-pen increasing the girth. My old Eten M600+ had a pen, I found it unnecessary)

2 - Newest/Best hardware specs (slow updates a minus, but the Optimus G has an active developer community here, which negates the minus)

3 - It's not as well-known. This is a real geek phone. (You show me a Note 2, and I'll show you my geek penis is bigger than yours :D Waiting 6 months for a wider Note 3 is geeky, but not my kind of geek :cool:)

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

Try checking the specs again. The Optimus G Pro has both a removable battery and storage.
[Galaxy Note II General] MarionCast:
These <insert random phone> vs. Note 2 threads really need to die. If you're comparing the Note 2 with some other phone WITHIN THE NOTE 2 SUBFORUM, you can't really expect fair opinions.

I love my Note 2 and one thing I can't stand about the G Pro is the UI. Touchwiz has become one of the lighter UIs with additional features that are actually useful. LG's UI doesn't feel as polished as TW.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] izbrian:
I've noticed every time I restart the phone my settings are restarted as well my brightness is always back to 100 even tho I'll have it on 50

Also my screen timeout which i leave at 30 seconds reverts back to 2 minutes and I'm not able to sort my applications alphabetically in the drawer every time I select it nothing happens

Does anyone else have these issues?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
More info, please. Are you completely stock, rooted, what ROM, have you applied any tweaks, have you used multiple ROM's without a good front-to-back wipe? Thanks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] izbrian:
Yes completely stock and non roooted haven't tweaked anything and no never put a custom rom on
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Go to settings > power saver, and see what all your options are set to. I'll bet you've got it set to turn on at 100%, screen brightness and time out are probably set like you're seeing as well.

How has your battery life been? If poor, I'd suggest at least rooting so you can turn off fast-dormancy. With your current setup I can only suggest factory reset and starting over if the power saver feature isn't the issue and you want to stay rooted. Do you have any app installed that allows profiles? It's just weird that things would reset to those extremes. Sounds like something's set to some kind of performance profile for gaming or watching streaming videos, or the power saver settings were off.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] izbrian:
Can't say only had the phone 2 days traded my S3 for it and since I have a 2nd phone the Optimus G isnt in use with only use it for wifi related things around the house I'ved already tried a factory reset once and not rooted either no profile type apps instealled but I do have power saver set to turn on at 20% but this happens even when the phone is on 100% everytime I power it off and back on my brightness and timeout go back to those settings
[AT&T LG Optimus G] izbrian:
Samething tried a factory reset and even after powering off and back down my display reverts back to 100 and timeout back to 2 minutes
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:

I purchased a Nexus 4 through Wirefly.com with a T-Mobile contract extension last week. I have decided to return it because a speck of dust and/or dead pixels on part of the LCD is bugging me.

Has anyone had experience with exchanging their Nexus 4 through Wirefly? A Google search has me worrying that this is going to turn out to be a nightmare. Just wondering if anyone has experience with returns with them with this particular device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juicyjones:
Why use wirefly? Why not just return it to T-Mobile for a full refund and get your contact extension back too? They'll even pay for the shipping back.

Go ahead and exchange with Wirefly. We process thousands of exchanges a month and we have several million happy customers using our wireless phones.

Do you really want to return it or do you just want one without the dust/dead pixel? If it is the latter I would give google a call.

Sorry, I'm new to flashing on the RAZR and need some information.

I know there is the XT910 and the XT912. I have the XT912, not the MAXX. I tried to install D-WiZ Jellybean and it wouldn't boot, screen just went black after BMM options loaded up. So I'm wondering, is it because that ROM is only for the XT910 and not XT912? I'm pretty sure I flashed it correctly. Thanks.

EDIT: If that is the case and D-WiZ JBX is XT910 compatible only, could someone show me some XT912 ROMs? If that's alright, thanks.

So I am switching from Verizon and I am currently using T Mobile $30 5GB a month data plan with 100 minutes.

Reception at my house SUCKS. Reception at my campus (college student) SUCKS. So I am curious if T mobile's performance is indicative of what I can expect with an MVNO such as SIMple Mobile or Straight Talk. I'm thinking about Straight Talk just because of AT&T but I'm not 100% sure yet.

What is everyone's experience so far?
