Agreed on all points, though you forgot one thing; no hideous TouchWiz.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ReggieSmith:
LG killed this device by not paying a decent amount for promotion. Period.

Samsung, HTC & Apple pay to promote their products. In this case, LG did not. Why?
[LG Optimus G Pro] al3nkbootas:
I want it , but where I can buy it in same price 450$ ??
[LG Optimus G Pro] HAvoktek:
Word...I'm feeling this phone. Coming from an S3 and a Note 2.

Sent from my Optimus Primal G Pro via your hacked wifi....Dig it?
[LG Optimus G Pro] android_ace:
I re-uped for 2 years with ATT and got the G Pro for $8 (traded in my Infuse for $100)
[LG Optimus G Pro] ap3604:
I don't know about "killed" but a big reason I feel comfortable purchasing a phone is the size of the xda community behind it. A big community not only helps with development but also for a constant stream of information, ideas, reviews, and problem solving. Sadly, certain phones lack the huge user base and suffer because of it :(
[LG Optimus G Pro] GoLfWRC:
Well, me too started to love this G Pro over my S4.
[LG Optimus G Pro] kelvintisw:
You should! There is no reason why anyone should not!:good::good:
[LG Optimus G Pro] DaT Franchise:
I got to agree this is the best phone on the market today, my last 3 phones were s3 note and note2 this thing is just way better. The only thing i miss is the swipe to call/message from contacts and swipe to call from text messaging.
[LG Optimus G Pro] conan1600:
I'm more than passing familiar with android devices and I have to say this is the top phone I've ever played with. With a few customizations it would also be the fastest since I have a crazy high bin on the CPU. All in all though even on stock this phone satisfies all my needs in a phone. I declare it KING of Phablets! Long live the king!

So ummm. A long stretch on top in android world is what .... 4 months? Lol
[LG Optimus G Pro] evanrwolfe:
Yeah I get asked a lot what phone I am using and when I tell the person what it us they just look at me like a dear staring into headlights
[LG Optimus G Pro] royale192:
You can buy it from an at&t store and on www.att.com I bought mine from a store and unlocked it and use it on t mobile.
[LG Optimus G Pro] lesterp:
How did you unlock it? Via att or a pay service?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Yoshio_221:
I picked up mine on eBay for 450 minus 10% discount. Mint condition. You can also try Swappa if you don't mind a mint phone rather than new and you don't want to pay taxes.
[LG Optimus G Pro] surge27:
There are now 3 on Swappa for under 450
[LG Optimus G Pro] Yoshio_221:
I bought my unlock code on eBay for $1.85. Worked perfectly!
[LG Optimus G Pro] royale192:
Unlock after calling ATT . Its seems they know when a phone has been full retail when the Imei number comes up. Took less than 10 minute's after I got the phone. I hate that you have to have some type of service with ATT. They say its to protect the phones from being resold at higher price's on ebay. I wanted to laugh in the guys face. There was more to the conversation than that. But I use it On T-Mobile in Virginia. If you are not in a refarmed 1900mhz you get edge only just like the pre T-Mobile Iphone. But on LTE its as fast as ATT LTE. Also unlock was free and no problems. Have had 2 unlocked with no problems. But I did pay full retail for the phone.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mactruck:
Just picked up another at AT&T store for $439 for the wife. She loves it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] kelvintisw:
Gosh! You wife will love you even more .....:p
[LG Optimus G Pro] npaladin2000:
All LG needs to do to make it popular is increase the bloat, remove some features, shrink the screen, and waste a ton of money on marketing. But then it would be the Galaxy S4. :)

AT&T may have gotten an exclusive contract on it or something. But as it becomes available on other carriers it'll get more popular. ANd so far there's an LS980 and a VS980 floating around the FCC (the AT&T one is the E980, so those would probably be the Sprint and Verizon versions respectively).
[LG Optimus G Pro] clippy83:
Love mine too. Its a beast . Decided to go away from the hype of the s4 and get this phone and I don't regret it at all I am very satisfied with this phone.
[LG Optimus G Pro] justin860:
After using this phone like crazy I'm in love. I'm now an lg fan boy. My fiancé has the optimus g
[LG Optimus G Pro] limitbreak09:
You know whats even more crazy?!! The fkin battery life is soo awesome!!!!

I have my wifi On all the time, 50% all the time brightness!! 1 hour straight gaming of Demonic Savior, watching lot of youtube videos, flip boarding, FB, plus i never use the quad core control and battery saving too!

Xda/Ac Forums, browsing, but look how much on screen time i got!
[LG Optimus G Pro] lekhwani:
Equals to worry free full day with heavy usage. ( Read 7 AM to 12 Midnight) ;)
[LG Optimus G Pro] KennyWRX:
Best Android phone I've owned so far. Only complaint is weak audio output via the 3.5mm jack.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mrfeuss:
I think that may actually come down to LG's software. I've been using the unofficial CM build and the output has been much better.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Billy Madison:
You probably use 80 Ohms headset? Try 16Ohms and don't forget that G Pro gets headset volume down to 75% when you plug those in, so you must manually increase volume to 100%
[LG Optimus G Pro] riz157:
You guys seem pretty happy with g pro. I currently own Htc One and Xperia zl and I'm considering getting g pro but would like to know what issues are common with this phone?

All phones have an issue or 2 so what's up with this?
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
Only issue I have had is heat after excessive use, nothing two bad...and lack of cases...other then that I love the phone....

When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
[LG Optimus G Pro] more2come:
Just ordered mine today. The G Pro is a huge success in South Korea and a more than worthy competitor to the S4. I have had an Optimus Speed back in the days and it was a desaster. Hardware design was solid, but the software on top was a nightmare. LG really worked hard to get rid of that image! Really looking forward to my G Pro!

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

Every small device with the Snapdragon S600 SoC has heat issues. On the HTC One, thermal CPU throttling kicks in pretty fast.
[LG Optimus G Pro] riz157:
I can live with that ordered Mine from simply electronics. 7-14 delivery time!

Probably get rid of zl if I like optimus.
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
I had been on a Samsung Infuse 4G and used at least 15 different ROMs on it. While I loved all the features of JB and the various themes, I am very glad I switched to the OGP. This is a fantastic phone and the support will get there. Devs here are working on making it a truly great phone but it will take time. It will be worth the wait. In the meantime, root, freeze bloatware and enjoy!!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] titus1:
Bloat is manageable. It can be removed to your heart's desire once rooted. The turtle-pace that is LG regarding support that makes them unpopular.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Kermit33:
No regret switching Sony XZ, the best smartphone I've ever had!
[LG Optimus G Pro] justin860:
I owned every Samsung galaxy series phones and honestly this phone trumps them all. I will now only buy lg phones especially if this pro version continues
[LG Optimus G Pro] riz157:
Lg customer services are very poor in my experience, it's my biggest concern. I thought I wouldnt buy LG again but I couldn't resist opg. Can't wait for it to arrive.

Another thing I've noticed there's not much in way of development support which is bit of disappointment.
[LG Optimus G Pro] xartic12:
I just traded my GNoteII for the OGP and couldn't be happier. The downfall, as you mentioned, is the support in the forums behind this device.

After I just rooted and removed some bloatware, I now am experiencing partial wakelocks that are killing my standby battery with not even the data connection on. Hope this straightens out.
[LG Optimus G Pro] taphius:
Same ATT s3 and note 2. Note 2 is going to be traded in at best buy or sold on craigslist... For $443 after tax this thing is a steal. So much easier to hold than the note 2 and much better performance.
[LG Optimus G Pro] riz157:
I don't think dev support will take off for this phone it's been 6momths since launch, is it because hardly anyone has bought this device?

LG are pretty crap probably will ditch support for this very soon.

In a way it's worked out well phone price has dropped significantly, last month it was costing me £500 now I just paid £375!! It's the main reason why I bought it otherwise would have waited for note 3 to make my mind up.

Still waiting for mine to be delivered, come on simply electronics get it sorted.
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
I agree on the support. However, having been a flashaholic on my previous phone, I prefer the look and feel of the OGP, even with stock Rom. Of course, rooting is an absolute must.
[LG Optimus G Pro] riz157:
I'm not sure if I will root my device, lg can be bit of an arse when it comes to repairs don't want to give them any excuses. Personally i would root if there were custom roms etc but not sure if its worth rooting simply to get rid bloat ware.

Does this phone lag or crash at all?
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
Haven't noticed any issues at all.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jammol:
It might lag when playing high end games. But that's a snap dragon issue, not a phone issue. Rooting and turning thermal throttling will fix that but if you don't root then you're out of luck.

Rooting won't be a problem anyways because it's easy like pie to return to stock.
[LG Optimus G Pro] clippy83:
I haven't noticed any lag at all with mine. Its smooth as butter
[LG Optimus G Pro] PholkLorr:
Agreed. The battery life was good until I rooted and removed a little bloat. Now the standby time is crap
[LG Optimus G Pro] PholkLorr:
Accidentally double posted
[LG Optimus G Pro] riz157:
I think i will stay away from root especially as there are no custom roms.
[LG Optimus G Pro] titus1:
Rooting is okay...not just for installing custom roms. Cause there are a lot of useful apps that requires rooted phones.

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

LG's overlay UI isn't as bloated as TouchWiz. So I didn't tinker much with that. Unless it's carrier lock like on AT&T
[LG Optimus G Pro] PholkLorr:
I still use root for titanium backup pro and greenify and better battery stats
[LG Optimus G Pro] zounduser:
Hey guys, im picking this phone up from AT&T tomorrow morning. Ive heard great things about it! I currently have a htc butterfly s, and htc droid dna. Selling the DNA, to get this! And cant wait. I played with one at ATT store today, and i love it. Only thing that sucks......is ATT doesnt offer white, only black. And the phone is a fingerprint magnet.
[LG Optimus G Pro] 05GT:
I've just grabbed another one today to take with me on deployment. I've been back and forth between this phone and the S4 a couple times now. I couldn't pass up buying the OG Pro outright for $400 + tax at my local store.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ap3604:
They will soon ;)

[LG Optimus G Pro] kirsty520:
dame right
[LG Optimus G Pro] zounduser:
I cant wait around to buy it though. Im buying the black one today.
[LG Optimus G Pro] xartic12:
I had the white GNoteII and regretted that color purchase. The black on the Ogp is very smooth looking and prefer it over white.
[LG Optimus G Pro] anilakarsu93:
Phone is really keeping fingerprints but CCF210 cover is a nice solve of this problem
[LG Optimus G Pro] zounduser:
Hey, could u post a pic of your cover,case? Thanks. Oh, and maybe where i can get it at too.
[LG Optimus G Pro] anilakarsu93:
Sure. With or without the phone? I ordered both phone and cover from lg turkey. It's impossible to find it here and also on the internet so the best is asking the manufacturer.
[LG Optimus G Pro] zounduser:
Can u do both with, and without the phone? Also, im buying mine right now! :) pretty excited. Ive heard really good things about this phone. But, im wondering if it will perform like my htc butterfly s. We will soon find out.

Camera Questions

Since i upgraded fro the GS3 the camera options have expanded greatly.

Does anyone have a definitive guide to just the camera features? There is soooooo much to discover. (yes, i am geeked!:laugh:)

Thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] 88cavalierz24:
one thing i do miss is a samsung screen, ive had them for the past 4 years and love the blacks. One full day with the phone, i have lte at home and work so for all im concerned im ready to leave sprint and save a good chunk of money each month. Went to bed last night with 79% battery at 12am, its 825pm with 58% battery, granted dont use it much just some testing. Just over 2 hours of on screen time. I lost 4% battery when i woke up at about 530am from 79% not bad. Phone is just fast even with animations on, i usually shut them off to make the phone faster but dont need to with this. It is a bit big, have to get use to it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] zounduser:
I really like this phone. But i cant have 2, i decided to keep my butterfly s, and sale this. But it is a super nice phone! I just like my htc butterfly s a little better. Lol
[LG Optimus G Pro] dylanthenoobrooter:
Wow I love this phone I agree totally and then u have the rest are iPhone users who think there iPhone 5 is faster Lmfao joke
[LG Optimus G Pro] CollinFX45:
Hey Guys,

Proud new owner as of last night. This phone is only $59 with no tax or shipping at Walmart if you have an upgrade! I will be selling my HTC One now :)

So the consensus seems to be that rooting and removing bloat actually harms the battery life? Can someone elaborate and share their experience? I love the stock ROM, but all this AT&T crap has to go.

Cheers,

-Collin-
[LG Optimus G Pro] kelvintisw:
The only downside of this phone is that the Auto Correction is screwed on the LG keyboard!

However, one can use the Swipe Keyboard or Google Keyboard to solve the problem.

For those folks who write Chinese (handwritting), you can download the Google Pinyin Input to hand-write Chinese with it and keyboard input English as well :)

I'm using the app now and it works well amid the missing swipe to write and double tab for Period in English input which are insignificant to most people. :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] anilakarsu93:
There is another downside. I'm a big fan of Quick Cover and I insist on using it. However this phone is getting damaged very easily. I used S3 for a year but my 1 week old OGP is twice more damaged than my S3. If you want to protect the phone yo have to use very protective cases and screen protectors
[LG Optimus G Pro] ariyoshi91:
really agree :2thumbup
[LG Optimus G Pro] jlaird1990:
Because then you have to pay a ridiculous amount of money for the phone. This is easiest the cheapest phone in its class. China phones in this class at more expensive like the oppo find 5 anyway you pay for quality not so much a name
[LG Optimus G Pro] ReggieSmith:
I have to disagree on the idea of cost going up if you market a device. This phone was $200 on contract at launch just like most samsungs (except the Note series). It has dropped to these crazy prices because they are trying to clear inventory prior to the release of the G2. They could have done more web marketing (because that is where we techies live) and done better. Or perhaps given demo units to more of the tech blogs, instead of making them go out and buy it, and they could have talked about it sooner and they would have sold more then as opposed to all these sales now because it is so cheap.

Had they promoted it then the accessory manufacturers would have made cases for it. The devs would have been excited about it and been fighting to get one early on and we'd have numerous functional ROMS to choose from by now (although with all the launchers and the stuff available by using Xposed framework you really don't need a rom on this thing).

The list goes on and I stand by my original statement. LG killed this device.
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
I was comparing this with my friend's note 2 and he kept saying Wow to the video definition. Then I compared it to another friends iPhone 5 and it looked twice the size and he said he was sorry be didn't wait because he liked this one so much. Great phone, good battery and I am extremely happy even without have a lot of roms to flash.
[LG Optimus G Pro] kelvintisw:
As I said before!

Replace the LG Keyboad with Google Keyboard and Google Pinyin Input (If you hand-write Chinese), you will enjoy texting even more!

LG Keybaord's Auto Correction is kind of screwed...
[LG Optimus G Pro] NardVa:
I'm looking to get an Optimus G Pro but I might wait another 2-3 weeks. G2 is supposed to be dropping on AT&T before 9/15. I'm thinking the price of the G Pro may drop even more.
[LG Optimus G Pro] solaris2k:
weird how some people have issues with stock keyboard I'm so used to it I almost never mess up typing as opposed to my GS4 Active where I ALWAYS hit the V and B keys when I reach for the space bar and I never notice it until after a few words have been typed out sortavkindablikebthis lol :silly:
[LG Optimus G Pro] zounduser:
Im sorry to tell u, it will not work with verizon. Gsm only bro. Too bad too, the white one is so sick!! Uploading pics......
[LG Optimus G Pro] surfbuckeyesbc:
Yeah, I was afraid of that. Although some sites are saying that the F240 korean model has a secondary cell network included, please see below. Do you think that it might work?

Secondary_Cellular-Phone

Dual+Cellular+Network;Operation: Selectable cellular module

[LG Optimus G Pro] zounduser:
One more for now
[LG Optimus G Pro] zounduser:
Now that i see that, it might just work. It says cdma right there. :) also, have u considered a net10 sim card? It gets at&t 4g, or hspa+ speeds, for 50.00 a month!!! I use a straight talk sim im mine, 45 a month unlimited everything, with hspa+! Ive been on this sim for about a year now, and ive saved sooooooo much money!

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

One thing to watch on that net10/straight talk sim though is data, its not really unlimited, they will throttle u after about 2gb, And lift it after that month is over. And if it happens a lot, they will cancel your service, and phone #. I have wifi at home, so the data isnt a problem for me. I download, and watch videos over wifi only. Ive never been throttled.
[LG Optimus G Pro] zounduser:
Better pic
[LG Optimus G Pro] zounduser:
And the back
[LG Optimus G Pro] surfbuckeyesbc:
I would love to switch, but I'm locked in with VZW for quite awhile. I emailed the seller of the unlocked SK model, so hopefully he can confirm for me that those radios are included. Fingers crossed!
[LG Optimus G Pro] zounduser:
Is that unlocked model white, or black?
[LG Optimus G Pro] surfbuckeyesbc:
Black
[LG Optimus G Pro] zounduser:
Nice. I think the white looks better. But nevertheless, sick phone. Hopefully more devs will see this as well.
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
Just want to say this since this topic is exactly what happened with me. I didn't know this phone even existed !

I had one of the original ATT Galaxy S2's- before ATT took them off the shelves and replaced them with the Skyrockets. I absolutely HATED it. It was a piece of [poop]. I think mine was defective though (can't tell for sure), but it was defective out of the box and by the time I tried doing anything about, ATT had already pulled it off their shelves and only offered me a new (different model) phone for full price.

I sucked it up and lived with my crappy phone until about a month ago when I finally began to get the money together to buy a new phone. I was so dissatisfied with Samsung that I didn't want their S4, so I went to an ATT store to look at the HTC One. It was OK, but then I saw the G Pro. I never knew it existed and it had everything I needed and wanted (including a larger screen; no UMS though, but that seems to be Android now I guess).

Yesterday I finally had enough money to buy one and so far I am absolutely loving it! I haven't used it like I would with typical use (I have "New Phone Syndrome" LOL), so I can't tell exactly how good the battery life is. Hopefully it'll be good though.
[LG Optimus G Pro] kelvintisw:
Yeah! In the 5.5" category, G Pro is the best even though the G2 is better in every department than G Pro but that's just a 5.2".

We can't compare a 5.5" with a 5.2"!
[LG Optimus G Pro] Elsydeon:
The G2 actually lacks two pretty considerable things compared to the G Pro that is getting harder and harder to find nowdays in Android phones: a removable battery AND a microSD slot.
[LG Optimus G Pro] NardVa:
For the price the G Pro is the best phone out. I just wish the G Pro had the most up to date software as the G2.
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
Exactly what I was going to say too.

I don't like being limited in my storage space (and 32GB with the OS and apps installed won't even fit my MP3s!) and if the battery ever starts going bad, I'd rather buy a new one and not a whole new phone.

I also think the volume and wake buttons on the back of the phone is pretty stupid. I can see myself turning the phone on with my thigh while it's in my pocket.

I just bought the OGP and had the option of it or the G2. I chose the OGP for the reasons above.
[LG Optimus G Pro] i n f a m o u s:
If we had some more talented and active developers such as Oblikas, this would be the perfect phone!

If LG had done a better job of marketing their products (like every other manufacturers) we'd draw more attention to the consumers.
[LG Optimus G Pro] titus1:
Forget about LG's marketing. It was their support that this company's sucks. Will they going to forget giving us update? KitKat/Nexus5 is just around the corner, yet we still have no idea up until what fw version the G Pro will be having.

And yes, no custom rom for the G Pro is worth flashing.
[LG Optimus G Pro] pallcsa:
I'm totally satisfied with the factory rom after debloating :D
[LG Optimus G Pro] mrfeuss:
That is entirely subjective-I'm extremely pleased with all of the custom ROMs I have installed. I'm currently running [MENTION=4870917]oblikas[/MENTION]' Paranoid Android and loving the Per-App DPI changes, Halo, custom colors, etc. Not only that, but this and [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION]'s CM build have fantastic battery life! We have some great ROMs on here so please don't go around disparaging our Devs. Why would they want to continue to develop for such ungrateful people?
