[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
Not having Kit Kat isn't that big of a deal honestly. I have a Nexus 5 also (if I don't sell it), and I will say that there is nothing special about Kit Kat that you are missing. The most "exciting" part of Kit Kat is just the dialer in my opinion, and that's not something that I find warrants being anxious for an update. All in all, there is no "wow" feature in Kit Kat, so the Flex not currently having it really doesn't matter to me.

If resolution were the reason, then the grain wouldn't go away as the brightness increases, and it wouldn't lessen by turning off the auto screen tone option.

[MENTION=609229]mysterioustko[/MENTION] what do you know about the support from LG and it's willingness to update their devices?
[LG G Flex] Skizzy034:
Not necessarily.
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
Care to expound on that?
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
I know their track record isn't exactly stellar.... I'd like to think they will do better this time around, but I'm not holding my breath.
[LG G Flex] mrphil101:
I came from the Nexus 4. I lost my phone, needed a bigger screen, so this is what I got. I really considered it more of a change than an upgrade. After using it for a while, I am happier with it now more than when I bought it. I don't have a problem with the screen, I use a screen protector which detracts anyway, but still wonder why they skimped there when it is such a focal point.

I never use the phone against my head, it is bluetooth or speaker, so the curve for calls doesn't matter to me, but it does seem to be easier on the eyes.The battery life is incredible. It is the definition of buttery smooth, I like the tap screen to wake/sleep,

I got over the no sd slot long ago with the Nexus's. I did fine with a 32 gig thumb drive and a otg cable. Favorites on the phone and a ton of vids and tunes to go! That made me wonder so I plugged it in to my Flex for the first time and it reads it. No app needed. woohoo.

The buttons are in a funky spot it did do a reset when i put it in my back pocket.

Speaker could be louder, but that should be easy enough to overcome.

I don't give a crap about the back on this or any other phone for that matter. Best thing about these thin phones is that it is not to large after I put a case on it. They are always too slippery, as is this one.I need some sticky rubber with cushions on the corners cause I drop em way more than I want.
[LG G Flex] samomamo:
I think Samsung is paying reviewers to make Lg G Flex fail. I viewed lot of reviews and all trying to find dirt on the Flex. I had all the latest phones from GN3, GS4, MOTO X , Htc One and the G2 and this phone changes everything. The screen is beautiful dont trust the reviews and the phone is amazing fast. The curved screen is a revolutionary. After using the Flex for cuple of hours i take the Gs4 or the Moto x the screens on them look like bubbles. This phone is more comfortable then th GN3 i had 2 months ago. I just cant believe how it gets bad reviews. Its the best phone out .
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
how is the radio/phone call quality? Are you using wifi calling, or network calling?

People get nuts with defending their cell phone preference, so thats why you read so much negativity about any new superphone "contender"..

I have the OneMax now from Sprint, and about 90% of the reviews I read on it bash it as junk, but I have been loving that phone for the last 3 months..

Problem is, the other folks in my house have htc One's, that are NOT on the "new" Sprint Spark Network, and they cant make calls from our house, so we are moving to T-mobile for the Wifi calling feature, which should solve that problem.

I cant decide on the GFlex, the Note 3, or the Xperia Z1..coming from the giant One Max, the flex is my first choice, but I am reading so much negative press on it, that I just cant make up my mind. I played with it at the store, and it seemed great...

[LG G Flex] tian105:
I cant speak for the Z1, but if you want bigger screen, N3 and Flex are pretty much your top choices.

Now, between N3 and Flex, I had the note 3 and HAVE the flex.

No matter what ROM you put on the Note 3, to me its just not smooth. I cant explain why, theres always that little hiccups on it that makes me go nuts. I never cared for the spen, and the battery life was subpar compared to note 2. Its an average highend smartphone. sold it.

Now as for the G flex, there's not a single hiccup i can reproduce on stock rom. it's the only att branded android devices that runs so buttery smooth even with all the att crap.

would i prefer a 1080p over 720p? sure, i would take 1080p over 720p any day. But in the end of the day, everything i do on my phone still looks the same. Plus the colors are nice.

So i vote for the G flex, hands down
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
thanks; most of the folks here on XDA, that had them both, seem to agree with you.

I never pay much attention to what reviewers say, so its good to hear that REAL users, like most of the folks on XDA, seem to really like this phone.

And, until its rooted, there are plenty of launchers and mods you can do the change some of the UI things that might not be the best..

I like something different, and love my HTC one max, so I am pretty certain I will feel the same way about the flex..

I have nexus 5,lg g2,note3 and flex. What you guys think is my favorite? Of course flex.

Random thoughts

I have Nexus 5, LG Optimus G Pro 980, Note 3 N900T and Lg G Flex D950. The Flex is my favorite device ... There is something with that curvature that makes me grab it all of the time. The display could be better, i suppose ... LG got to improve this problem with unevenness of the luminance when showing solid colors. The gsmarena review has the microscope shots of the Flex display and is compared to different display tech which shows the nature of the problem ... It is not low DPI problem ...

I could've waited for the second generation of the curved displays of LG (P-OLED second gen) and live with N900T, but Samsung irritates the crap out of me with this knox stupidity. If they released this knox crap to battle warranty claims with bricked phones because of ROM-ing, then they could have done it like HTC and Sony do; submit online request, get a key, your id is in their database and say kaput to your warranty ... Anyway N900T will be my last Samsung device ...

I do not like the Nexus 5 because i do not like on-screen buttons and i will sell it ... I can live with Flex's on-screen buttons, because of very slim bezels, and the battery life compensates any inefficiency of the Flex ...

[LG G Flex] sweets55:
After my first 24 hrs with the Flex I would definitely recommend this phone. The damn thing is so Sexy and I can't stop looking at her curves. It's like the Energizer bunny. Keeps on going and going. lol
[LG G Flex] imarq:
I have had my flex almost a week on T-mobile, and I can honestly say this phone is really amazing. The battery life is ridiculous. I take it off the charger when i get up at 8:30 and on my first break at 11:30 it was still at 100% im home now at 8:30 and the battery is at 75%. As I have posted before when I first got the phone I cranked the brightness up to 100% but now it lives right at about 60%. So guys these online reviewers serious have no idea what they are talking about. The screen is huge vibrant and bold and I love it! Team Flex all the way for this guy!!!!
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
How do you use your phone, surfing, media, social networks, etc.!
[LG G Flex] imarq:
I stream pandora about 3hours during work, twitter all day, xda every 30 minutes or so, internet browsing 2 or 3 hours, streaming music from google play and shopping for something for the wife for valentines day.
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
That's actually pretty good. I primarily use a Note 3 because it gives me some added software as a coach. If you have used or looked at the Note 3, what's your opinion of the two devices?
[LG G Flex] Skizzy034:
Nah. Lol.
[LG G Flex] Spoofy:
Is it a pentile display like the gnex?
[LG G Flex] imarq:
Thats funny you asked...my wife actually has the note 3. no don't get me wrong the screen on the note 3 is good, really good. I know a lot of people complain about the screen on the flex however, I don't look at her phone a lot so my eyes are adjusted to my 6inch 720p beast. Other than that the ui is dangerously identical. The flex feels a lot better in the hand than the note 3 does. The curve display has become my best friend though, because i can lay it flat on the bed and have awesome viewing angles while reading or surfing the web. I also like the knock on and off feature. I use nova launcher where i swipe down to hide or unhide the status bar. So even with nova i can swipe down and toggle the status bar and double tap it to put the phone to sleep. The flex just rocks!!!!
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
Thanks for the information, I'll likely go in this weekend to get a first hand look and feel for it.
[LG G Flex] imarq:
No problem! Thats what the forums are for. What carrier are you going with?
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
I have a business account with AT&T that I'll likely use. T-Mobile hasn't been good for me when I travel because of the rural areas I go yo.
[LG G Flex] imarq:
Ah i got ya...well when you get it root, nova, xposed and gravity...and that should tie you over until we get some roms.
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
Rooting is something I've been very nervous about doing. With ask this new technology I've stuck with stock. Too afraid to brick a phone.
[LG G Flex] imarq:
yeah it can be a little daunting at first...but once you root it opens up a whole new world of android customization. Also if you need any help check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2618232 Its easy as pie really.

The battery life ****in rocks...that alone makes this a keeper for me

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

Nobodys really mentioned this yet but there is a full version of SSX on the phone that looks amazing when played. When you flip this phone landscape its sexy as hell and EVERYONE notices it and wants it. Very glad i left ATT and my Optimus G Pro for this.
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
Nope. Full RGB.

I have yet to see a reason to root, honestly. I'm using my phone bone stock, and have yet to come across a reason to mod it in any way.

Agreed. The battery life on this phone is tremendous. I had a day were I got more than 10 hours of talk time, along with almost 3 hours of screen time...AND THE BATTERY LASTED 34 HOURS! That's basically a day and a half on a single charge. That's some excellent battery life. My Nexus 5 doesn't come close to that.
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
I just picked one up today and I'm going to see if this device can be my daily driver.
[LG G Flex] yumszvee:
I'm just saying I love the noisy look . Make me feel like I'm looking at electronic paper
[LG G Flex] radlink14:
My phone has a blue hue on the right of the screen. Sometimes I can unnotice it. But its there. I read another article that their phone had same symptoms but went away. Giving mine a week, if I can't stop noticing I am exchanging it.

I get the ghosting, its there. Can't do nothing about it.
[LG G Flex] Bowmanspeer:

[LG G Flex] barondebxl:
Nice. One thing that is undeniable is the ridiculously great battery life of the Great Flex.
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
Make sure you take off all the clear plastic including this guy on the camera lens. Coming from the G2 which has a good camera the Flex doesn't seem as good but I still get good pictures with my Flex. I know the Flex doesn't have the stablize thing but I always keep my hands steady.

Switch the lock screen effect. I have no lag. You can even get rid of it.

That clear plastic could cause issues even though it has a hole in it.
[LG G Flex] arias415:
I also had a blue hue on the right side,I immediately returned it. The new one was fine.
[LG G Flex] barondebxl:
The display wouldnt be an issue for the average consumer, the size would be.
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
The phone has been fine for me and I don't here big hands. Of people have an open mind, it's my opinion that they'll like this phone.

Surprised he didn't say he liked the battery life. Hehe ^
[LG G Flex] evohog:
All I have to say is I love this humongously large beast, fast, unique and battery is phenomenal. I've had everything aside from the note 3 and this by far in most cases is in your face better. Once we get the boot loader sorted out and some custom goodness well see the true potential. As always to each his own but in my case I love it, had the g2 for a little bit and even though their almost identical, aside from the resolution and size, and this feels so much snappier. Got tired of Samsung's ability to slightly change the out and in on the phone while leaving carp wiz pretty much the same. Thumbs up to LG and all my fellow phone junkies who love this thing as I do.

I had the Otterbox Commuter on my G Flex before I returned it for the Note 3. Was a nice case and fit well.
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
You have the N3, if so why did you change?
[LG G Flex] _-Jay-_:
Just several things I was not happy with on the G Flex. It's a great device for sure but after a week with it, I wasn't ready to commit to it for the next year.
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
I can understand that. I kept my N3 just in case I didn't like it. I enjoy the N3 for the things I do through my job. The Flex gave me an big screen alternative.
[LG G Flex] _-Jay-_:
Lol 5.7in is plenty big for me. I just hated the "wet newspaper" look of the display and no microSD. Also no OIS on camera. Only thing I liked better was it was Spark enabled and looked unique. I actually had 2 Flex's but the first one had a pixel blow out the 2nd day I had it. Sprint replaced the phone though with another new one that worked fine.
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
lol @ wet newspaper. That's fine your not happy with the Flex but hopefully you can move on. Just sayin
[LG G Flex] _-Jay-_:
I have moved on. Someone asked me why I switched and I gave my opinion. Last I checked, that was still okay right?
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
I didn't mean to make ya mad. I don't know I guess if I moved on from the Flex I wouldn't be in here. I know that's just me though.
[LG G Flex] _-Jay-_:
Normally I don't hang in forums for phones I no longer have but I wanted to see what others were saying about the Flex and to offer whatever advice I can.
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
Everyone has an opinion regarding this phone. Some will enjoy it and others will not. That's the best part of the forums. They afford people the opportunity to express their opinions.
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
I understand that. I tried the iPhone 2x but the screen was to small for me. I never went into the iPhone forums and said that.
[LG G Flex] mrksbrd:
Yes it's almost like a temporary screen burn in effect, it goes away within 5-10 secs. Kind of disappointed in this phone after coming from the G2 ?
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
I haven't noticed that, can you give me some other applications to check please. Thanks.
[LG G Flex] mrksbrd:
Incipio makes a nice one, not as bulky the otter, but still changes the feel of the phone a bit

Found this 4k demo for you guys. Starting to think this screen with a simple update will be sick

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euQ1XXsanqo&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[LG G Flex] RobHands:
How is screen on time? I heard that 8-9 hours with auto brightness is more than possible?

Don't you think that texture on the display looks as if it had an anti glare screen protector? (would make sense because top display layer is plastic?)
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
I regularly get 8 hours of screen time or more. Also, that's what I've always thought about this screen. I don't really think it's screen itself it looks because you can see a rainbow affect just like a cheap screen protector. I guess that's the price we pay for the flexible technology.
[LG G Flex] RobHands:
You have your brightness settings high?
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
No i stay on auto brightness because i just prefer it, o hate a super bright display in the dark and I'm in the dark almost all day for work.
[LG G Flex] ptfdmedic:
Here's the thing I've noticed. There's an obvious bluish tint to the left side of my screen. It's less obvious on brighter settings. The graininess doesn't really bother me. To me, it looks like one side of the screen is brighter than the other. I had one with AT&T and now one with T-Mobile. Both had the same issue.

The resolution doesn't really bother me at all, even when compared to the note 3. The battery life is amazing and the UI is very similar to TouchWiz but it's implemented much better on the LG.

I really like the screen curve and despite having what I would consider an inferior display, I find it tough to switch back to my Note 3.........
[LG G Flex] ToledoG28:
Id been rooting and flashing around for a couple of years. There's no other phone like this one. Mine is from T-Mobile. ..woa...what a beast!!
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
yep, and once you stop "looking" for all the things wrong with this phone, you will absolutely love it...after a month with it, its one of my favorite phones ever, even as stock..
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
x2...I got tired of flashing Roms with my G2. I haven't even rooted my Flex and fine with stock.
[LG G Flex] motumbo:
Coming from N3, probably my last Samsung because knox crap. I bought this phone through eBay at&t version, unlocked it, rooted it and using it in Latin America with no problems 3g-4g, just missing Wi-Fi hotspot but I could live with it. I'm really surprised with this, it is my first lg phone and if I was told it would be that nice I haven't believed it. Loving the UI, phone is the snappiest I've seen so far, it is cute, unique and the screen is really good I'm not missing any Samsung s4 crap and htc one device I had last year. What is coming next from lg? I'm gonna buy it.
[LG G Flex] XtraWho:
Of course it is who doesn't love a FREE phone?
[LG G Flex] JesseMT4G:
I'd definitely recommend it. It's fast, smooth, screen is fine to me and is different than any other phone out there. Coming from a N2 and couldn't be happier. We all have LG phones in our house now. 6 of us, lol!
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
To those asking about the battery life, it has been phenomenal. I believe this phone has the best battery life on the market.

As you can see in the screenshots, I got 5 hours of screen time WITH 5 hours of voice, AND I STILL GOT MORE THAN 21 HOURS of battery life!
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
I do enjoy the battery life, form factor its nice. I'm thinking about going a little smaller.
[LG G Flex] mrphil101:
I have had the phone for a couple of months now. I am still amazed at the battery (usage) on this phone. I like the feel of it. I haven't put a case on it and the back has a couple of scratches on it I don't think would be there if it were a harder material.

But by far the biggest issue I have is with this locked bootloader crap. It's my device, I paid big bucks for it, Let me make it the way i want it. I have been on the nexus's for several versions and now I remember why I was with them. My first requirement for a new phone was a larger screen, The note3 was to boxy, I lost my n4 and had to get something, so I got this. And I am happy with the size and mostly happy with the hardware.

Now after the cuteness of a Stock phone, I am sick of the bloatware, want the screen raised to its full potential and the ability to customize it more than what can be done with Xposed. we can adjust the screen resolution with an app so we know the devs could kick ass on that, and improve the kernal and more.

F**kin locked bootloader, Driven by greed. dirty b*stards.

OK, *****in an whine'n done, someone serve the cheese please!
[LG G Flex] JesseMT4G:
Unfortunately LG is holding things up, but some devs are making head way. LG can care less about the geeks at xda or the like as we are such a small % compared to the masses.
