[LG Optimus G Pro] jprosek:
Ive played with the note 2 and the screen realy is that much better. Plus while lg does have crappy software there will likely be lotsa development once the bootloader is unlocked and will solve that problem. What can't be solved tho is samsungs shotty craftsmanship. U drop any samsung device from more than waist high, and ur replacing something, if not the whole phone. Just youtube droptests for samsung devices they consistantly do the worst of any device. As for a stylus the screen works with gloves on, anything can be used as a stylus on this ive seen more than one video where people used a regular pen although there no software support for it. While other phones may do 1 or 2 things better you can't buy a better all around phone right now. And its lookin like its gonna be that way till the note 3 and even then the enyxos 5s are barely outperforming the 600s although their design does give them better battery life.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jesi.james:
I'm pretty much in the same boat but compared against the S4. Im also a bit more concerened about phone durability. I take care of my things but I want a little more cushion for when accidents happen. Is the OG Pro just as fragile as the s4? Has anyone managed to accidentally crack theirs?
[LG Optimus G Pro] witeboy07:
This is my current stats before I got home.
[LG Optimus G Pro] itikhvin:
OK, so I understand that the screen is better, but where will I notice it compared to Note 2? In videos? Pictures? Text? Brightness? Outdoor visibility? Colors?
[LG Optimus G Pro] dnorthington:
That's not bad at all.

I have a note 2, an iPhone 5, LG OG, GS 4, and have used One, plus all major devices before. For me, the main difference is the age old debate of LCD vs AMOLED. I prefer LCD. Colors are more true and whites are actually white. You can use different screen modes with the note 2 to minimize the over saturation, but o stool poetry LCD. The OG Pro also does better outdoors in sunlight. Overall the screen seems brighter and the increased resolution does make a difference. In my experience, the battery is not as good on the OG Pro, but still better than most Android devices.
[LG Optimus G Pro] itikhvin:
The battery life is a concern to me. How much worse than the Note 2 should I expect. I have to say I have no idea what the Note 2 is capable of, as my current unit is defective.
[LG Optimus G Pro] cleankutazn:
Get the OGP if you like natural colors and a awesome screen :D
[LG Optimus G Pro] colts187:
I had the Note 2. Its about the same. I used it for a while this morning before it even fell off 100%. The screen gets way brighter which believe me u will appreciate.
[LG Optimus G Pro] nnotis:
It's not just the color accuracy. The added resolution really makes a difference. I could read full desktop web sites without zooming in. The Note 2 lacks the resolution for that. The One & S4 screens are too small to do so comfortably. The only strike on the screen is that it can't get the almost infinite blacks of an AMOLED screen.

I've heard that the Note 3 will still use a pentile pixel arrangement. On the S4, that's fine. The pixels are too small for it to matter. But on a 6 inch screen, I know I'd start to see sub pixels. Sure, it would be less obvious than on an S3, but I'd rather not see them at all.
[LG Optimus G Pro] itikhvin:
I just got a replacement Note II, and think I'm going to stick with it. The device is easier to get here in Canada, as oposed to the G Pro which right now I can only get from AT&T in the States... The Note can be unlocked for free and used on practically any network here... and the bootloader isn't locked.

I already find the screen resolution of the Note 2satisfying for watching video...G Pro could have swayed me if it was REALLY good in sunlight such as say the Nokia 920, but it appears that isn't...The battery life on the Note 2 is also bound to be better (since the screen is only 720p). The camera on the G Pro doesn't appear to better the one on Note II either, even though the resolution is increased....
[LG Optimus G Pro] dnorthington:
Check out this vs review. Lots of good stuff. They put out some opinions and more subjective details. Lots of objective stuff.

http://m.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_g_pro_vs_samsung_galaxy_note_ii-review-911.php
[LG Optimus G Pro] itikhvin:
I have checked it out previously... the G Pro appears to be significantly better according to that review is the Synthetic Benchmarks, but I have no idea if this is really something noticeable in real life? They actuallly stated that he Note II has better sunlight visiblity what the heck...???
[LG Optimus G Pro] dnorthington:
The synthetic benchmarks are one measurement, but the difference for me is not really noticeable from a lag or fluidness perspective. The screen on the pro g is pretty reflective. They're saying the digitizer for the s pen gives it a bit of a filter.
[LG Optimus G Pro] sabre31:
I have the note 2, s4, HTC one, and this phone and LG Optimus G Pro has the best screen of them all hands down. It also has great battery life and the screen does kill note 2. Plus the phone is easier to hold in hand and handle compared to note 2. Note 2 has stylus which is nice but if you don't use it LG is better.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jetlitheone:
Well being only half an inch bigger then an s4 doesn't make an enormous difference. I had the note 2 and went to the s4 I'm not sad that I lost that half an inch. The pen was cool though. But never used it too much.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Nucking Futs!:
Had the Note 2 & was leaning towards getting an OG Pro...until this past Saturday when I had a firmware update (still v4.1.2) from AT&T. Was suppose to improve wifi reception & something about radio frequencies. An unexpected issue after installing the new firmware was that for some reason the battery drained much quicker (I'd say about 25-30% quicker!). I did a search (after installing it) & others have reported this same issue (with the new AT&T firmware). That was what pushed me over the edge to get an OG Pro. The text is noticeably clearer & video's look more natural. I like the fact that the LED notification light is much bigger on the OG Pro. Also, it helped that Fry's had it on sale for $99, LOL! But yeah, overall I'm happy with my decision.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ap3604:
Do you currently have a data plan that ATT no longer offers? (such as unlimited, or 2gb)

I'd like to get this deal as well at Fry's but I don't want them messing with my data plan when I upgrade :(
[LG Optimus G Pro] itikhvin:
It seems like the biggest thing I would be gaining with the G Pro is resolution & comfort in holding it.. I'm already satisfied with the resolution f the Note 2... it's the sunlight visibility that was more important to me, The deep blacks on the note 2 and the a saturated colors are actually nice when watching movies. On the other hand I would be losing battery life, S pen & multi window mode (Q slide isn't the same)... as well as being able to root the phone (at least now)... and the ability to use Note 2 with pretty much every Canadian carrier. I did think about it, but it wasn't a hard decision in favor of the Note 2 for me, considering I also can't get the G Pro here in Canada.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Nucking Futs!:
I have a family plan I share with the Mrs. BTW, today's the last day for the Fry's sale price.
[LG Optimus G Pro] xenine:
u can unlock the OG Pro.

ur definitely blind.. to say the Note 2's screen is better than the OG Pro is like saying that a foggy day is clearer than a clear bright day.

u need glasses big time.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jprosek:
Lol that what I meant og pro has the best screen on the market lol
[LG Optimus G Pro] itikhvin:
I would prob have to pay for unlocking... right now there is way to unlock the Note 2 for free...
[LG Optimus G Pro] jordant2:
Having both the note 2 and the optimus pro right now, I have to say that the optimus pro has a slightly brighter screen. Both at full brightness and in direct sunlight. The note 2's screen is looks brighter on lower level settings and the amoled makes it really pop indoors. Its not really until you reach near full brightness that the optimus pro screen starts to shine. Now to the battery life... the note 2 is stellar in this area. Rooted with the right ROM and the right modem, I can get 5-6 hours of screen time with 2-3 talk time easily. And I've never really tried to get more because it would take two days of testing for me to reach those statistics. The optimus pro's battery life just seems a little better than any other new android device but not on par with the note despite the slightly higher capacity. Just my take on things from someone who has both devices.
[LG Optimus G Pro] itikhvin:
I would probably go for the G Pro if I were already unhappy with the Note 2. I can't see how the increased resolution alone is worth it to me though, as I have no complaints about reading text / or detail level in video. I think 720p vs 1080p might be a somewhat subjective thing, as other reviewers have pointed out the difference is somewhat academic unless you are looking for it hard the 1080p would be better for text, but again I have no complaints with readin on the Note 2 ...and I think the saturated colors of the Note 2 might be better for movies. If the G pro were more easily available, I would likely get it though and maybe I will in the next few months... I am just not sure the 2 week wait & the extra money spent on shipping from the US/unlocking is worth it right now.

I do use the S Pen of the note 2 as well; it's quite handy for things like ingredient lists for recipes...
[LG Optimus G Pro] swa2k4:
I unlocked my g pro for 2$ on eBay

Using it on tmobile my area and now must area around me are refarmed 1900 plus its compatible with tmobile lte bands which are coming to my area in June supposedly

Snapdragon 600 ridiculous speed in the ui worth it alone
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jishnu Sur™:
G PRO is a far better device.. :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] designgears:
I am about to go trade my G Pro for a Note 2, the DPI on the screen is soo freakin high it totally ruins the 1080p.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jordant2:
So I've been using this phone for a week now and I am having no luck with battery life. My phone dies very quickly when the screen is on. It seems that every time I turn on the screen, I lose 3% instantly. At best I can get around 3 hours screen on time. As long as my phone sits idle it's fine, but when I pick up the phone and do an hour of xda and web surfing and I lose a huge percentage of battery. I have it set to auto-brightness and the slider at 65%. Any recommendations? I want to keep the phone but this is a deal breaker for me since this phone has such a high battery capacity, I'm expecting usage similar to my galaxy note 2.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Billy Madison:
I'm on 50% with autobrightness too and I have 5hrs of screen time easily considered it's 15% battery left and about 20minutes I've run stability test of curiosity how high temperature will go. So I think I'll got 6 hrs on average use easily, but I agree, LG's screen is huge power hog
[LG Optimus G Pro] cleankutazn:
How does a high dpi ruin the screen???
[LG Optimus G Pro] ap3604:
Pretty sure he was simply attempting humor :p

Threw me off too though when I first read it...
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jammol:
I'm gonna say warranty it dude. Sounds like you got a bad egg.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Hendrickson:
Run xposedframe work and you can set some apps to run at 320 DPI instead of 480. I run gmail and internet at 320 DPI, looks better.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jammol:
I don't understand the dpi issue. I need to wear glasses and I can use this phone without my glasses on. I am birth near and far sighted by the way.
[LG Optimus G Pro] greyhulk:
I have both devices. I find idle battery drain to be better on the Optimus G Pro. It also is a little better to grip and use one-handed because it is narrower.

I honestly thought I was done with big phones when I parked my Note 2, but I'm really digging the 1080p screen on the G and the battery life has been great for me. It does seem to drain pretty fast when the screen is on, at least faster than the Note 2.
[LG Optimus G Pro] oreyna:
I am also coming from the note 2- and still own it. I always found the note 2 to be to wide for my medium sized hands. I went into the AT&T store to buy the black HTC one and left with the G pro! The screen res, form factor of the phone ( because it feels like a phone and not a phablet) is what sold me. Now after having it for 3 wks I can say I dont regret my decision at all. Battery life is better than the note 2, no random non responsive app issues ( native texting app and gallery mostly) like with the note 2.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Hendrickson:
Idle hands down the OGP wins. If its a screen on battle then the Note 2 will just win. But I find in general and my own use leaving data on the OGP battery life is better than the Note II's

Apart from the sunlight reflections and sun readability the OGP beats it in everyway. The note too is older of course so will be interesting once the Note 3 is out.

[LG Optimus G Pro] Sharpshooterrr:
Would a screen protector solve this issue?
[LG Optimus G Pro] wiser212:
I want to share that my battery life use to be about 8-10 hours, not the greatest when compared to the Note 2. After turning off background updates for Facebook, I am getting about 24 hours. What a bump! Not sure if other contributing factors are involved. I had almost 4 hours of screen time and didn't really make any calls though.
[LG Optimus G Pro] smallgreenbear:
i come from note 2 as well. Comparing screen on time, note 2 is around 5 hours and OGP is around 4.5 hours for me. The battery usage when idle is better on OGP however. Anybody has tried disabling MLT under MPT Test of hidden menu (3845#*(your model no.)#), i found it keeps running in background. After I disabled it and boot again, I found my battery life of OGP is better than before, no effects to daily usage
[LG Optimus G Pro] martinezma99:
Wow! I can't believe how many people own both the Note 2 and OGP. I bought the OGP today after owning the Note 2 since Nov '12.

Few observations.

1. OGP phone charges really quick compared to Note 2.

2. OGP battery gets really warm while charging.

3. OGP battery drains quicker than Note 2.

4. Screen resolution is much nicer on OGP.

5. Disappointed that OGP is still 4.2.1 for a phone released in May. I hope to see an update soon.

6. No ATT Visual Voicemail app for OGP. Are you kidding me!

7. Some unexpected lag on OGP at times.

8. The messages app opens quickly but when selecting a thread it takes over a second to open.

9. No option to remove Q slide on status bar very annoying.

10. Pressing home button makes a noise when pressing.

11. LED on home button is fantastic.

12. Quick button is another fantastic idea.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Nucking Futs!:
6. Google Voice FTW!

8. Go SMS Pro FTW! Especially for the fact you can change the LED notification color to whatever you want & can send/receive iOS emoji's to/from iPhone owners...Yes, I came from an iPhone prior the OGP, Note 1 & 2. :D

11. AGREED!!!

12. Wish the quick button had an option to power on and/or make use of the home button so less wear & tear on the actual physical home button.

Also, hoping LG releases a firmware update to include a web browser for one of the QSlide apps just like the international version has.
[LG Optimus G Pro] insanesteve:
I have Visual Voicemail, works perfect.
[LG Optimus G Pro] raduque:
Sounds like the display unit lost the SAMOLED lottery. My Note II has no issues with displaying white whites. They don't look as perfectly white as a nice IPS LCD, but they're white enough to actually be called white. The higher resolution of the OGPro is way more noticeable than the color temp, though.

Seems a bit lousy, imo. Depending on the usage, 5 hours of screen-on time w/my Note II would leave me with about 35% of the battery left. Note II is way better at power management than the OGPro.

Note II fits my hand a little better than the OGPro. The 1080p screen really sucks juice compared to a 720p SAMOLED.
[LG Optimus G Pro] wilsonliang777:
I had the note 2 n upgraded it to a lg ogp 2 weeks ago. I did noticed that the lg ogp software is a little buggy. I really miss the sharp bright color of the note display, the pen n the s note software. The note 2 out last the lg ogp by 1 to 2 hours on a average day use.

Pro about the lg ogp

1. Easier to hold because of the slimmer waist line.

2. More PPI makes the screen easier on the eyes.

3. Faster when launching apps

4 cheaper.

5. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL. I am supporting another phone manufactor other than Apple n Samsung.

Sick of Apple and Samsung trying to taking over the world.
[LG Optimus G Pro] demandarin:
i came from a sg3 to OGp

I absolutely love the ogp. I had no gripes about my sg3 but I wanted a bigger and better display. The clarity and high resolution of this 1080p display is mind blowing. Its hard to describe in words how amazing this display is and how big it looks. This phablet is lightning fast also. Never any slowdown.

Only thing I'd say I don't like is this thermal throttling deal. I made sure to save the code for when o feel brave enough to cut it off. I've noticed phone only begins to get warm/hot if you have brightness all the way up and doing some major stuff like graphic intense gaming or CPU intensive apps. But I've seen that screen is plenty bright at 50% and rarely gets hot. IMO, a small drawback compared to all its positives. I just got this phone brand new from at@t for only 50 dollars. O was about to get an sg4 till I found out about this phone. You get the most bang for buck with this phone. Plus it comes with double internal storage space as other phones. I loved my sg3 and sSamsung makes great devices. But I'm so happy with this new G pro. So much so that I'm using my tablets less n less.

Once I get the zero lemon 9600mah(I believe) extended battery, I will be set. I will say stock battery life has been great so far. But with my heavy usage, I will need the zero lemon. I had it for my sg3. I never had to worry about plugging up my phone.

This ogp is so damn light & thin also. To me, this is the top phone out now. With its 1080p 5.5in. Display and top notch snapdragon 600 CPU & powerful gpu, this phone is beast. I kind of like the at&t exclusivity of it.

I highly recommend this phone on all fronts. Gaming is sick on this device. Handles any and everything you throw at it with ease. Get ththis phone now!
[LG Optimus G Pro] tobbis:
I confirm most with my international version.
[LG Optimus G Pro] SuperABuser:
I was a happy owner of the Note 2 and did the upgrade step and got myself an Lg Optimus G Pro.The summary of my experience is:The G pro has a far greater feel with one hand use,better screen both in resolution and in natural control reproduction than the amoled panel.And of course the camera and the 4g speeds are far better,Also the weight its a noticeable difference ,the G Pro is lighter..On its con's is the battery life,i was getting almost a full day with heavy use on the Note 2 but on the G Pro i get almost the half battery time on heavy use compared to the note's..Overall i m pretty happy with the G Pro and i think my next phablet is going to be an LG too..

I rooted my sisters Exhibit a while ago, and today it randomly began to reboot. I attempted to get into odin mode, but everytime i do, the phone stays into odin mode for about 3 seconds and then just reboots again. Anybody had this problem?

So I got the S4 today at the Sprint store so I had to pay 100$ deposit and and I got 100$ off for using my Prepaid T-Mobile Account and he switched my number over but I didn't want him to do that I told him but he did it so now my T-Mobile account is deactivated and it was activated until June1 and I had 27$ on my account but now it's deactivated but I still need that account and now my number got switched to Sprint so how can I recover my T-Mobile Account and balance and all? Please help if you knew what to do
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wavrunrx:
omg dude plz use periods.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ronin4740:
Personally I think you're screwed. Call T-Mobile customer service and, pausing to breath where appropriate, explain the issue to them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] prototype.77:
I have been with T-Mobile for 10 years and I call the Loyalty Department for any issue I have...Their job is to keep you happy..I really don't think the amount of time you have spent with them determines how much they help you...So call customer care and ask to speak to the Loyalty Department they gave me the S4 for half the price with nothing down I'm sure there is something they can do for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shaqqq:
T-mobile told me that I'll have to call Sprint and tell them I didn't want that number transferred and that I need a new number then when they change it I can get my tmobile account back. Will this really work?

Pay whatever T-Mo wants to charge you to undo this without complaint. Find something hard like an encyclopedia and swing it at your forehead. let it impact. Hard. Be thankful that it can be undone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GG2012:
When you said half price, are you talking about half of $629, which is ~$315. If so, why? I've been a customer just as long. I would like to know what was the offer/promotion and the circumstance.

Ummm... the whole point of the $100 promotion Sprint is running is so you will switch over from your "T-Mo" service to Sprint's. Switching over means you will leave your old service behind and transfer your number to Sprint. I fail to see the problem here. If you didn't want to transfer your number, then you shouldn't be receiving the $100 off promotion. Why did you even leave that much in there? The only way I see is for T-Mobile to send you a check since everything on your account is paid for.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
you went to sprint?

have fun with that.

i just came from them and i can defiantly tell you your not getting anything better. data speeds are so slow you will wish you were on dialup.

unless your in their lte area, but thats the only exception
