Yo, OGPro Chaps!

I'm joining you guys after using quite a few Samsung devices!

How did I find my way here? My Sister wanted my Note II. Enjoying my uniqueness for having the 'Big Phone' (amongst those I'm usually around), I did NOT want to give up such power.

Eventually....she bought her own Note II, her first 'smartphone'. I was happy for her, but now had to find a different phone.

I was lost.

No other phone had what I was looking for, besides the Note II. I REFUSE to own a SIII or SIV, HTC One, Nexus 4, oe SONY Xperia Z. All those phones were too small. I find it hard to downsize, after 5.5" has become the 'perfect size'. Some of you chaps may agree!

I even thought of the LG G2.....but then saw it had no removeable battery. NOPE, that won't do.

Then......I remembered the Note II had a rival. A phone more superior in all aspects, EXCEPT.....development (which I later researched).

After a quick debate inside my head......I bought the Optimus G Pro.

The moment I turned on the screen.....I was in love. I'd be insulting the phone if I said the screen was Retina-like! The OGPro has the best screen for any phone I've ever owned. Period. My SAMOLED phones had excellent blacks, but the OGPro's screen is just BETTER.

I agree, this phone's been flying stealth since it arrived. A little more advertisment, and a release to more than one Carrier would done wonders for this device.

All that glitters is NOT Samsung, HTC, or even....ugh....that other 'phone'.....

Yeah!

I made a horrible mistake of buying a G2. I used it for 3 day and regretted it!:crying::crying::crying:

I have sold my G2 and back to G Pro again!:p
[LG Optimus G Pro] titus1:
Regret getting the G2? How so?
[LG Optimus G Pro] kelvintisw:
A 5.5"'s G Pro is so much easy for the eyes and easier for surfing and texting with a larger view on the display even with the keyboard is being activated.:good:

G2's 5.2" display as advertised.....In fact, the actual viewbale display is only 5" due to that the On-Screen Button has taken up 0.2" of the screen, makes it difficult for the eyes and the viewing display is very much reduced to non when keyboard is being activated as compared to G Pro's 5.5"! :(
[LG Optimus G Pro] Soleo:
Hi people,

I also just bought a OGP ... I have to receive on Tuesday or Wednesday, I look forward.

I have an S3. And tired of Samsung and TouchWizz ...

OGP is a pity that does not know the success it deserves.

In any case, you can count on me to make it known, and I will take care to maintain its section of a large popular French forum.

There must have custom ROMs ...
[LG Optimus G Pro] anjiru:
I'm in love

I'm in cellphone sales and recently switched to the OGP after years of Samsung S phones, starting with the captivate. I thought I'd have my S3 forever, and when I was able to play with an s4, it just felt like another phone. nothing special. THEN I got my hands on the OGP and it was love at first touch. The gorgeous screen. The qslide notes so I can transfer information quickly from texts to the map. At first I was going to get an otter box type case, but that seemed like a waste and an insult to the phones design. Instead I picked up a poetic flip cover soft touch case. Simply beautiful. As a salesman I try to recommend the OGP to anyone and everyone looking for a phablet. It really is the most underrated phone we carry. No one knows about it but once they see it and see mine they don't need any more convincing.
[LG Optimus G Pro] terrapin4:
Love it!

This phone is the best decision I have made in a long time. I've been through many phones and this one meets all my culminating list of must-haves in a smartphone. The sheer responsiveness of this thing (on stock) is better than the HTC One and GS4. Video playback is a joy. I don't care about the outdated CPU architecture either. Even with a G2 I'd only have a few months of bragging rights anyway. The features far outweigh the future value IMO.

My only real concern is that this will be left behind by LG and we won't see updates beyond 4.1.2. When I check for updates it says I'm not registered yet. Does anyone know what that means? Do I have to sign up somewhere with AT&T? I'm in Canada on Bell.
[LG Optimus G Pro] rav3nous:
I wouldn't call s600 outdated.
[LG Optimus G Pro] J2DAe:
Just traded my s4 for a op g pro and a nice GPS. Gotta say wow this is a great phone. All the features on the s4 were gimmicks and were never used
[LG Optimus G Pro] lantoine:
I just returned a LG G2 and picked up the Optimus G Pro. I originally wanted to get the GPRO but convinced myself at the store that getting the G2 was the way to go. After 3 days with the G2, I felt like I made a big mistake. As mentioned in one of the earlier threads, although the G2 has a 5.2" display the actual screen realestate is less since the menu/home/back buttons consumes the bottom portion of the screen. I also tried liking the button layout on the G2 but too many times I found myself saying this is rather awkward. The "knock knock" feature is nice but sometimes I would have to knock more than the two times for the device to turn on/off. G2 has no battery replacement, no microSD expansion, no wireless charging (had the ATT version) and seemed cheaper build quality compared to the G PRO. So with that said I am onboard with a GPRO for the long run.
[LG Optimus G Pro] kelvintisw:
I will be with G Pro for a long time for sure! :)

LG has build an awesome awesome G Pro! :)

I was confused between G2 and G Pro as I have both at home. G2 belongs to my little brother!

There isn't any update yet to 4.2.2 even for the Korean G Pro! Sorry! :o

Yes! G2 is already on 4.2.2! :)

couldnt agree more, now their releasing the G2 with the 2.26quad same memory and cameras but just little better cpu. im happy as hell with mine

Quiet Storm

Lg Optimus G Pro. This is my first lg phone. Its always been samsung or htc. i had the first note. always wanted one, and loved it, mainly the big screen. was going to get a note2 until i started doing some research. phone comparisons. came across a couple of comparison between the note 2 and the g pro. every comparison i came across showed the g pro a better phone than the note2 hands down. It was called the note2 killer. the next biggest thing became small to me. I GOT MY G PRO. I call it my "g thang". this phone is like a quiet storm. you dont see it coming, because no one knows its here and when it arrives and its known its too late, damage done. call red cross for those other phones. theyre going to need it. other than not having the same support the other phones get, I am very happy with this phone. glad i waited for this lg phone to be the first one. thanks lg.:highfive:
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
As of late LG pretty much makes the best devices. LG Pro. LG G and G2 all proof of it. And Google also made LG the new Nexus Phone maker after HTC and Samsung. That did for a reason.
[LG Optimus G Pro] 903tex:
Just bought this phone and wow this is crazy how fast and I love how it fits better in my hand than the note 2. Its pretty much a note 2 without the pen but with better internals
[LG Optimus G Pro] spiritcrusher33:
Yup just sold my note 2.. Wasn't impressed with the note 3. Got the g pro basicly new for 150. From a friend. Gotta say even stock this phone is awesome. Battery life is pretty good. Overall just a nice well rounded package. Its nice to get away from Samsung for awhile. Still have my note 8 and galaxy camera. Though. But yeah I'm very surprised that this phone hasn't gotten any attention. Maybe cause its only on att. The g2 is nice. But too small and again. No SD and replaceable battery. 2 things I hate. Oh well
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
This no removable battery/storage thing is sadly becoming the norm now. And u basically have a G2 just a slightly weaker processor but bigger screen. The g pro and g2 screens are named the best on the market right now.
[LG Optimus G Pro] 903tex:
It amazes me that no effort in lg to sell this phone. I mean I see g2 commercials everyday, yet the pro everybody likes what's that. Even I slept on it until I sold my note 2 and iPhone 5 and say somebody selling a white one for CHEAP. Little YouTube and Google searching later I'm typing on this beast running slimbean.

Slimbean E980
[LG Optimus G Pro] raduque:
I hope more people find out about this phone, so I can sell my almost-mint unlocked GPro soon for $375
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
Why selling it?
[LG Optimus G Pro] raduque:
I'm going back to the Note series with an N3. Since I broke and sold my NII, I realized just how much I miss the stylus. Also, I know this is a... controversial opinion, but I prefer Nature UX over any other Android UI enhancement.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
OK.

Something I find funny bout note 3

[LG Optimus G Pro] Proz00:
i hope to get one soon or via friend or ebay
[LG Optimus G Pro] dxwilliams40:
Just picked this beast up off contract at att for $400 +tax. Best decision I made.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dadan8:
I agree that this is by far the best android phone I had, I have used S1,S2 and S3, Note 1 and Note 2. The only downside is that there are only a few developers who are into creating custom roms and exploring this beast.....

Hoping that in the future more and more customization's and tweaks can be added to this wonderful phone. :o
[LG Optimus G Pro] Proz00:
did they unlock it for u ?

how its cost with tax 440$ ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] dxwilliams40:
I didn't get the unlock code. Didn't expect to keep the phone honestly. My plan was to play with it and return after about a week. However I really love the phone and it is a bargain. I was given a discount on the price. The total with taxes came out to $428. I miss the speakers on the htc one though.
[LG Optimus G Pro] 903tex:
I sell and trade phones all the time! And the HTC one and s4 IMHO was not what I expected when I had those devices. The one lagged even with custom Google edition ROM it, the active I had lagged even more and was bootloader locked at the time I had it so i sold it. stock this phone hasn't lag at all and with a custom ROM everything still beastly. Only thing on the pro is stock the keyboard has problems keeping up with you
[LG Optimus G Pro] dxwilliams40:
Once you purchase SwiftKey, you will never use another stock keyboard
[LG Optimus G Pro] Proz00:
[MENTION=3781227]dxwilliams40[/MENTION]

thx for the info

wow around 9% tax

for us is around 35.7% if it bought from outside Israel :)

if buying it locally the store take much more

around 845$
[LG Optimus G Pro] 903tex:
Its crazy how taxes can be for other countries outside america. Like the 5c in China is 728usd!!!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] Proz00:
wanna hear something funny? here iPhone 5 cost 845$, like lg pro

and iPhone 5c cost guess what ? more then iPhone 5 :D

around 1000$, 150$ for an "upgrade" :P

its crazzzzy country ;D
[LG Optimus G Pro] redneck_666:
I'm gonna sell my Galaxy Note 1 to a friend that is in desperate need of a phone. His HOX just went out of warrantee, and his screen shattered.

I'm thinking of going with this phone over the Note 3.

Am I making the right decision?
[LG Optimus G Pro] kelvintisw:
Well.

If you don't use S Pen, you don't need those creative features, then G Pro is the right one for you. :)

Seriously, Note 3 is over-spec or over killed, over speed and over priced for averagel folks on the street who just need the basic features and functionalities of a smartphone. ;)

G Pro may even get an OTA to 4.3 or 4.4 if not 4.2 soon. :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] lazerus06:
I have a Note 2 right now and have an offer to trade it for a LG Optimus G Pro. I am really torn on what to do. I really like the Note 2 but the 1080p display sounds attractive.

Anyone else gone from a Note 2 to a Optimus G Pro? If so, any regrets?
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
None. Faster better screen. Besides the S Apps the G Pro is in pretty much every regard the better phone then the note 2 is. It is called the Note 2 killer. I am pretty sure the G Pro 2 will be better then the Note 3.
[LG Optimus G Pro] 903tex:
I sold my note 2 for this phone and I'm happy. Even now I can use a upgrade to get the note 3 after running the pro with beanstalk and everything works so fluidly I will pass on the note 3. Spec wise the pro is better than the note 2. it fits better in hand and to me looks better than the note 2 and 3. And I love the home button notification light. Its a sleeper phone, which makes me think lg is just as dumb by not advertising this phone. But the g2 is their baby now so that that's on that end.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Elsydeon:
This was the exact move I did. You get a MUCH better screen (I found the Note 2's screen awful even within its own generation of flagship phones, was noticeably not as sharp), better battery life (the G Pro has an insanely good idle rate), the same screen size in a noticeably smaller feeling body, better camera, better processor. The only thing the Note 2 did better on was the speakerphone...and it has a stylus that I personally found more gimmicky than useful, due to the pen size. If it's a straight trade, than it's a no brainer to move on, especially as the Note 2's value is fast tanking with the release of the Note 3.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hockeyfamily737:
How is the camera compared to the One in real world use? I'm divorcing Sprint after many years lol. I love my One except for the camera. What an over hyped piece of junk it turned out to be. Like you I'm going no contract and the price of the G Pro struck my sweet spot.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
Camera has been decent. The one camera is not very good. But the one cancers is like 4 mega pixel with supposedly more pixel in it. Lol so it is a 4 mega pixel camera. The g pro is 13 mega pixel. And has been pretty good overall.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hockeyfamily737:
Thanks for the insight. I know the G Pro has a 13 MP, but I also know that doesn't necessarily translate into real world performance. Considering that this has pretty much all of the specs and features I'm looking for and I no longer feel compelled to flash a new Rom everyday this phone may indeed be a good fit for me. My only other concern is how LG handles updates, but that's just gonna be a wait and see kind of thing.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
I understand ur concern about updates. I might come or never come but u have those very hard working developers that give us Roms so I am not to concerned but yes the LG G pro is might the best phone for the money u can buy.
[LG Optimus G Pro] i1magic:
Here I am. I dumped my Note 2 for OGP. No regrets.

Only few things which to note :

1. For video capturing with resolution 320x240, it is limited to only 15secs

2. No S-Pen. I kind of miss the "screen capture, scribble and send out" that I did

The rest are quite ok.
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
:thumbup:Hit the:thumbup:if someone helps you:thumbup:
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
Was to lazy to this. But was thinking the same thing. There is quick memo.
[LG Optimus G Pro] i1magic:
Yes, "Quick Memo" is a good replacement, just that it is more accurate when we use the S-Pen.

Since I don't use it alot, so not really that big issue here.
[LG Optimus G Pro] azeem.droid:
Got a sparingly used Optimus G Pro for ~$300. And boy m loving it. It has basically everything i wanted when i was using my galaxy nexus.

My phone is not happy with me.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999V 16gb on Wind Mobile (Canada).

I can only get it to boot to download mode. I can not reflash recovery. All attempts have failed.

I suspect I have a corrupt partition file.

I know playing with PIT files are a last resort, and I am now there.

I have just paid a local store $35 dollars, and they can't do anything with my phone. (I suspect they too are trying to track down the appropriate PIT file)

I have done a ton of searching, but have not had any luck.

Can anyone point me to the sgh-t999v 16gb pit file?

Thanks a ton!

Disable all syncs, try to off (most) of those chat apps like wechat and line etc(go to settings>apps force stop), wechat in particular drains quite a lot.

I don't use stock but mine is close to it but I deleted lots of bloats from TB.

I only leave whatsapp on.

Infact, try out using Airplane, if even in airplane the battery still sucks, try reflashing everything using bootloader.

the thread title says that your n4 doesnt go into sleep mode.. where do you have something showing this?? battery loss does not equal not going into sleep mode. have you checked if your device goes into sleep mode, or are you just assuming? use something like cpu spy to see if your device is going into sleep mode..

This is battery stats from the first day after OTA: http://imgur.com/Bn9B8FA

You can clearly see when device stop going to sleep, and Android OS drained battery for more than 11 hours.

When I saw this, I rebooted the phone, and next day everything was OK. Battery life was even better, than with 4.2.2. But after third day, Android OS was again on top of the list. Again, reboot had solved problem only temporary. Wake lock stats app does not show anything unusual. I'm runing stock not rooted firmware. If I do not find any solution, I'll just wipe it on weekend in hope it'll help.
