The only water indicator i found was in the sim car slot. On the back side not the screen side.

(nothing a little bleach cant take care of :thumbup: )
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sawdey21:
Back in December, mine slid off my backpack and hit the floor. Less than 6 inch drop and shattered the screen to where it didn't register a touch at any part. Consider yourself lucky
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrPlNK:
Damn thats a life blower man lol
[AT&T LG Optimus G] id10terrordfw:
Indeed, mine progressed today to the point the screen does not register any input. I can't wait for my replacement to arrive, my old 3GS is exceptionally painful to use.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] chrisphoenix7:
I've a chip in the plastic next to the volume rocker, and a small split where the glass casing and sides meet. Fixed by cheap case.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrZim4:
I love the look of this phone without the case but I guess I'd better put mine back on...I've dropped it a couple times with a case I got from att and haven't had any problems
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrPlNK:
Yeah this phone is big time sleek.. I love it, i ordered the case with the android guy on the back and i never got it =( been like 3 months, by this time you would think theyre walking it to me lmao.. I need to give em a call
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Matt James:
Agree with the others here. The phone is just too damn slick to put a case on, for me at least. I love a naked phone and will take the chance. However I try to be extremely concious and careful when taking it in and out of my pocket. If its not in there then its on my desk nice and flat nowhere near an edge lol.

I'm not gonna push my luck though. Glass back and glass front? I feel like if it hit the ground in any way shape or form its gonna break. Super slick phone but super delicate. However I wouldnt have it any other way.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
You must have got the Japanese DoCoMo OG.

JK. (That one is waterproof).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrPlNK:
The back was really flexible when i tore the phone down.. I wouldnt worry too much bout the back.. Front is a diff issue though. Ive had pretty hard falls and no cracks for me
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
I don't consider this good advice. My phone slipped out of my jacket pocket as I was taking it off and it hit the ground with a bottom corner which sent an arched crack up the bottom portion of my phone in the glass. It's not shattered or falling out of the phone, but it's still fragile.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrPlNK:
Well its still glass.. Itll definitely crack, im judt saying that the back of the phone would be less likely to break than the screen itself IMHO
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Fidelio_o:
Mines broke taking it out my pocket......so yeah lucky bastid.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gsrrr:
First (and probably last) time I've seen someone refer to this phone as unbreakable.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sawdey21:
ive broken both the back and front on different occasions... dont let it get too cold either. breaks way too easy that way.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] fakejake808:
About a week after get my OG I was showing it off at a family party. I managed to drop it on a ceramic tile floor. It slid about two feet until it finally fell one story on to a gravel driveway. My heart sunk... When I went to retrieve it, I was amazed to find it completely unharmed! I couldn't fricken believe it!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
I know I sure don't. :rolleyes: I'd need some video evidence to believe that story. :p
[AT&T LG Optimus G] booch74:
A few nights ago I was running to my car, the OG was in my sweatshirt pocket and it flew out, easily a good 3-4 feet away and landed screen down! My heart just sank, I fully expected serious damage but I got very lucky, barely a tiny scuff, hardly noticeable! I couldn't believe it. No case, no screen protector. I ordered a diztronic case that night, no too bad, kinda like it.

Sounds like great success stories... but I'm still popping a case on lol
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I rooted and unlocked Mr. PINK's LGOG when he was in town for Christmas. It's not a JP variant, just a standard e970 with a ridiculously scratched to **** screen protector.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] SnowLeopardJB:
These things are all actually surprisingly waterproof. I had one in a sink for about 2 minutes while on, and it was still working just fine when I got it out.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ABurningFalcon:
Why?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] id10terrordfw:
It was dirty? I always prefer to wash up after a big system dump.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Chirunavvutho:
If it smells like fish, it probably is fish(y).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] SnowLeopardJB:
Let's just say it needed to stop working.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrPlNK:
Yeah it was still on when i pulled it out, the speaker was low, headset didnt work, and the led and button lights didnt work, sd card and sim kept disconnecting. I took both out and turned the phone off.. When i got home from school i opened it up, dried it, did my thang, and now its perfect lol lights work still, headset works, havent found anything that doesn't work
[AT&T LG Optimus G] booch74:
It was amazing how not even a scratch and to paint the picture... Sweatshirt pocket, 3ft high, running eh..good solid jogging pace, I turned a corner and slow motion entered the scene, surface, pavement, old gritty pavement, I almost wonder if the moisture on the ground aided the OG in surviving or if its really that bad a$$.

Just to make us feel even better about not having an iPhone, my buddy just smashed his screen up trying to catch it (and accidentally throwing it at the ground in the process). Unrelated, I know, but I'm always happy to see an apple user get a chance to switch over to the free side. :cool:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrPlNK:
Id rather not have them over here. More bricks, more dumb questions, and lets remember theyre iphone users. They expect everything to be a certain way and simple. Have you ever jailbroken an iphone? Its literally put it in download press start on the button on computer and youre done. All the crazy iphone featutes it unlocks... Lmao
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bassitone:
Hey now, we're not all bad! Then again, I guess I was far from a typical iPhone user anyway, given I pushed that jailbroken thing to its absolute limits. As in, I probably would've put CM10 on it if I could have...

Also, you laugh about how easy the jailbreak process is. I actually thought rooting and unlocking the bootloader on this phone was even easier.

Sent from my sleek Cyanogen'd Optimus G
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrPlNK:
Its easy because it was made easy for others to use. Go back and do it through adb and come report back and tell me how much easier it is than jailbreak is.

Jail breaking doesnt even really do anything.. Lets you download apps that apple doesnt allow which those apps allow you to make changes to your settings elsewhere instead of in settings menu
[AT&T LG Optimus G] C2fifield:
Haha he's actually my roommate so don't worry, I'll take responsibility for him, you won't have to hear him crying on here about a brick.

Sent from my Nexus G LTE
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ChiefWilNel:
definately not unbreakable :(
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
But why do it through ADB unless you are really trying to learn what is going on and have the guts.

Nobody here did it through ADB, lol.

There is probably a way to jailbreak through command line too... but why do it if there is an easier script.

Just saying. :p
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrPlNK:
Lol im just saying iphones are simple and androids are not.

Like you dont have to deal with kernels, different OS variations, different radios, etc... All you get to do is add an app that lets you download non - approved apple apps
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Mike724:
Unlocking the bootloader (adding a custom recovery) and rooting are not the same thing...

Jailbreaking is comparable to Android rooting. And it's super simple for both of them in this case.

(not trying to defend Apple users, though)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrPlNK:
Lol its really not, but sure, go ahead and think that
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Neroga:
Absinthe>Start>unlock screen>done. I jailbreak my friends' iPhones, iPads, and iTouches and the process literally takes 30 seconds and all you have to do is press start and unlock the screen when you're told to do so. Granted, rooting isn't difficult. But at least we learn something in the process of doing so instead of being completely spoonfed. :D

On topic: My phone took a 6ft fall without the case on and made it out without a scratch. Landed on the screen on tile floor. These things are pretty durable. o.o

Drop test
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
Yeah right..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] chrisphoenix7:
Id like to take this opportunity to say this.

On tractors and heavy equipment, the glass is nearly bulletproof in the middle. 1 inch or so from the edge, it is very weak. I believe gorilla glass is similar; but since it does not have large sheets, the weak area is much larger.

Just a thought.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] charleswesde:
impressive, I cringed with every drop, wouldn't personally try it tho
[AT&T LG Optimus G] HyDRo1X:
This phone can take 6'4 height, 240 pounds, size 11 foot of pure pressure maybe more I stepped on it today in the morning by accident I thought the phone was in my shoe but it was on the hard floor and I stepped on it and thought wtf am I stepping on? Looked around for my phone and it wasn't in my shoe 30 seconds later after standing on it for a while and leaning on the foot I was stepping on it with I look down and its under my foot lol picked it up still in perfect condition
[AT&T LG Optimus G] SkriblZz:
My Optimus G just died. Fell the right way, cracking the front glass, along with digitizer. So now I have a touch phone with no touch. Kinda blows. The insurance through ATT is a pain in the ass. So I am thinking of selling this phone on ebay for parts. Or to whoever is comfortable with replacing the front glass. It's a shame, I liked this phone a lot. :(
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrPlNK:
How much do u want for it?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mroubas:
I'd be tempted if the price was right. It would be my first attempt at fixing the glass on a phone, but if that fails my wife and I both have LGOGs and we could potentially use the spare parts in the future. How much?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] polarzombies:
I was leaving my house and walking down my front steps and when I reached for my phone it slipped out of my pocket and landed on the driveway at the bottom of my steps. I managed to scratch the top where the headphone port is, making lit notches in the top and create a scratch/notch on the bottom left side of my phone. The most surprised to find that all these things had happened to my phone but nothing had happened to the glass on the front and back of the phone.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] WVUFanatic103:
Looks like it might not be completely unbreakable.

Ive dropped mine more than a little bit in my amazon "arrow" case. My brother on the other hand, got one of those mall variety front back snap cases. Dropped it one wime getting out of the truck. Must have done it just right because it split the glass across the top 1/3 of the digitizer. Phone must have been in panic mode because it tried calling everyone in his phone book.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] XFATE56:
Woah! Lucky you! I was laying on the floor and mine was in my pocket, so my dog decides to jump on me and my phone falls 3 inches to the floor and makes a huge split in the upper-left corner. Whole screen inoperable. AT&T Replaced it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrPlNK:
Youre lucky att replaced it..

Havent had the OG in forever is it treating you well?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] XFATE56:
Love it actually. Rooted, Unlocked, and running SnowJB. Needs more variety as far as ROMs IMO, And the N4 conversion has to many kinks for me to wanna use it. Other than that, it's amazing.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] autosurgeon:
Dude what are you rambling about. There are 15 plus good ROMs several of which are mashups of the best of the top devs work. Why anyone would want to do the n4 conversion any more is beyond me. The Aosp ROMs for the most part have everything working and are on version 4.2.2 we also have some sick kernel options as well. I happen to like root box which can be found in second development sub forum just a few down from this one. In order to run the aosp ROMs you must be on stock jb 4.1.2 either via ota or lgnpst or by running tinybin from lgnpst.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] XFATE56:
I'm actually downloading Rootbox as I type. I'm very picky with my phone for some reason, so i can understand why you'd disagree. Most of the roms iv'e tried have had some bug or issue that bothered me to no end.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] zymphad:
Then next best solution is to build your own ROM.

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

I like the texture surface on the top and bottom, be nice is had that on the sides? Maybe small rubber feet on the back, or two slim bars top and bottom so phone doesn't slide everywhere
[AT&T LG Optimus G] XFATE56:
Yeah, But i'm no developer. I'm actually just 15. But i'm starting off with the basics, i'm working on porting a ROM for our OG. Loving RootBox btw.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] zymphad:
I am very surprised by the stories of gorilla glass v2 breaking just a few inches to a few feet. That's very peculiar since Youtube is filled with videos of phones with Gorilla and Gorilla V2 screens being used to hammer nails and or just smashing the screen on tables. The unbreakable Nokias, unbreakable Oppo Find 5 and others can be run over by cars and jumped on by children. So how is the corning gorilla v2 cracking and shattering on Optimus G from pathetic fall heights?

I had a Samsung Focus S with first gen gorilla and just for fun to demonstrate to shattered iphone owners (millions in my area), I would take my phone and just start smashing it on a table. It's never broken, shattered or cracked.

What's going on?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] OMGMatrix:
I've concluded that there has to be some sort of QC issue with LG phones.

My OG is damn-near perfect. It gets hot, but thats the only real issue. Mine's taken dozens of tumbles on to carpet, concrete, tile, etc.

Not a scratch.

That of course sits in stark contrast with the myriad stories of people dropping them mere feet and shattering them. (then again, I also know personally a lot of people who keep their phones in their back pocket, which is asking their phone to break)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ActionMax09:
I have had mine without a screen protector in my AT&T body glove. I have dropped it on several occasions (Body glove is really slippery.) The other day I placed it on my car door, under the handle, I quickly opened the door when I felt the phone it was too late and I heard the phone crash onto the concrete driveway. After reading everyone experiences I was sure my phone was cracked. But no, it has no scratches or cracks. The front glass has also been great for me. No scratches and still smooth. I have banged it on desk, chairs, and so on when I have it in my pocket...

I have also read about heat causing the tempered glass to expand and causing it to crack. When I head out for college I leave my phone in the car, (I will forget it and then its too late to return) it gets real hot and I have not had it crack from heat or any sort of hardware issues. My prior phone would shut down (dual core) if it got to hot.

Just my personal experience and I find this phone to be very durable for a front and back glass panel, and yet it is indeed a very beautiful handset. :thumbup:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jakeroxs:
I accidentally left my LGOG on the roof of my car in only a diztronic TPU case. Was going about 40 mph when I heard a bang on my roof and freaked out, after figuring out what it was, I pulled over and walked down the road hoping for the best but expecting the worst.

Found it on the white line just far enough to not get run over by any cars and face up. Only minor damage to the case :D
[AT&T LG Optimus G] elvinone:
Actually, I was spun into a whole new world of pissed off when I had my phone less than 48 hours, it fell out of my pocket as I got out my car (3ft drop) and shattered the screen such that it was completely unusable. I couldn't even answer prompts to turn it off. Insurance replacement was another $200.

Maybe I just got a lemon.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] tko1:
Same here and with my gf, once the screen gets a crack in it, the entire screen becomes inop. Which is bs. I've never seen a phone like it gorilla glass my a$$.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
It's the zero gap touch that causes it. That ridiculous screen sensitivity requires the digitizer being very close to the fingers. The glass is very thin in exchange. Glass gets a puncture or break and it kills the digitizer.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
I may be wrong, but I thought the gorilla glass claim to fame was scratch resistance due to superior hardness characteristics? If so, it's likely to be more prone to breakage on impact due to that increased hardness (harder = less flexible, generally).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] axeman007:
Well, the LGOG is definitely a rock-solid built phone. I dropped it twice from my pocket on to concrete floor (accidentally) and screen is still safe.

I really appreciate the build quality of this phone.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dinglehoser:
The screen glass seems to be damn near indestructible, but the back glass, not so much. Mine got a hairline crack even through a pretty hefty double-shell case.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] NickS_:
I find that the glass/screen is extremely durable on these.

Long story short, I got really angry one day and threw mine overhand as hard as I could (walking throw) about 15' into a concrete wall, where it then landed on the concrete floor 10' back from the wall it hit.

The impact separated the phone in half mostly, but the glass was still in tact. Needless to say, the phone didn't turn on anymore, though.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] smrots:
You okay now?

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Bunkaido:
See you next Fall...

The morning after I purchased mine, I had to stop at the Dr. Office on the way to work. This was last December (about 2 weeks after the phone's release date) and there weren't any cases available for it yet. I had it sitting on my leg while I was driving and was in such a hurry that I opened the car door and stepped out of the car, only to hear something hit the car door ledge and then the parking lot.

My brand new Optimus G just took it's first free fall... completely unprotected. I was totally pissed, to say the least. I picked it up, knowing that it would be thoroughly busted... there was a tiny chip in the silver ring at the bottom corner. No cracks in the glass. I hit the power button with baited breath and... Lock Screen!...

I couldn't believe that nothing was wrong with it. Still today, the glass is scratch free and the phone works like new.:highfive:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aganders3:
I'm just noticing my OG has hairline cracks in the bezel (not the glass) near the volume rocker and power button. Has anyone else seen this issue? Is this something that would be covered under warranty?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Moose Michaels:
I've dropped mine quite a few times on various surfaces, the glass hasn't brokem yet. Some of the plastic bezel has broken, but that's manageable i suppose.

I punted mine across my brothers kitchen and my friends porch (doing it across the porch was accidental the kitchen I did it to shoe someone it wouldn't break), and it didn't break. One of then strongest phones I've owned.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gregdolley:
You got really lucky. My first LGOG fell off the top of my car and hit the concrete back facing down. The back's gorilla glass shattered into a million pieces (but just like a car windshield, the million pieces are still physically on the back of the phone, you just see a million cracks everywhere). While the phone was completely still usable after this, and everything worked, it affected the battery capacity - right after the fall, my battery history registered a 25% drop in life instantly.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Rishi.:
Congrats!! YOu got yourself a new rear pattern.!

Though , the drop in battery performance feels fishy. I don't get it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
It's grossly unsafe to continue to use it. That dropped capacity is due to damaged lithium battery cells. That thing is a fire hazard, and poster wouldn't be able to sue over it since the thing is damaged. Hope he has health insurance
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gregdolley:
I liked the old pattern better... :P

---------- Post added at 02:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 AM ----------

I don't think the cells got damaged. If that were the case, the battery wouldn't reach 4.2 volts anymore (which it still does). Since the drop, the battery life has gone back to normal. I believe the electrolyte liquid (lithium hexaflourophosphate?) inside the lithium polymer battery just got pushed to one side causing the voltage sensor to get an incorrect reading.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
There are no liquid electrolytic agents in a lipo battery. That's one of the pillars of difference that separate them from older /regular lithium ion batteries, aka the ones with a liquid electrolytic agent.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Rishi.:
Well , it seems that my LGOG is displaying incorrect reading of battery capacity in android tuner. It says , 1500Mah instead of 2100mah.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] hotbld5:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Rishi.:
Actually there are some cases , that do provide a protection. I like the flip case, as it's best for protection against falls. The leather will absorb shocks. Unlike hard cases.

Also a hit from sharp or pointed objects can be saved.
