[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TwistedMarine:
I have a fully flashed Sprint HTC EVO lite 4g on Metro pcs network. I no longer have metro and i now have boost mobile. Im currently using the boost Hydro. I do not like this phone. Is there any way to do something to get the phone on the boost network without fully flashing it? reason i ask this is becuase i have no idea how to flash. I can flash a xbox 360 a ps3 but never attempted a phone. I saw some tutorials but i dont have all the software that the tutorials ask for or i would jsut fully flash it myself if it was possible. Ive seen people do it remotely but im currently unemployed.

May 2 Update: LG G3 Back Panel has been Leaked

i think G3 doesnt have much changes in design department but will be a Specs Monster !!!

April 22 Update: New Revamped LG UI Update

just in a few days G3 is going to be released, UI has a total revamp. now our G2 becomes more exciting with this new UI

Flat UI icons, New Transparent notification bar...... im really Excited :cowboy: :o :D
[G3 General] Jank4AU:
This looks awesome!
[G3 General] bingbings:
Non rooted G2 will probably never get this new UI...

My G2 Tapatalking
[G3 General] Jank4AU:
I never understood why so many mfg's sick with white background and everything so bright. This would be a welcome change, dark with transparent.
[G3 General] nexususer:
New status bar looks AMAZING but i dont like the homescreen stock android look. The current optimus ui is good enough for me . But that transparent status bar though :D
[G3 General] chaki-:
Ugly.....just ugly.....but hey that is just my opinion.

There are people who are gonna love it. It is like the child of Sense and Vanilla UI :D
[G3 General] sanke1:
Looks like Samsung's new TouchWiz, iOS7 and WP8.1 had a threesome and new child was born.

But I won't mind this on my G2.
[G3 General] ephumuris:
I like it.
[G3 General] nikoo6:
Why are they making ios-like styles, they could just create another style. Is it that difficult?

I'm not saying that the general style isnt cool but why always copying?
[G3 General] mgolder:
You do realise that flat style icons and pastel colours for icons and wallpapers existed before ios7? This 'copying' ios7 complaining is getting a bit stupid now. It's simply a current trend, and in a few years we will all have different style icons etc as stock on our phones, and then they will change, and so on.
[G3 General] Sensamic:
Your G2 won't get this new UI silly :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[G3 General] SandyKick:
oh come on man, we have gr8 developers in XDA, who can port G3 Roms in G2 :p

i personally liked this UI compared to current G2 UI
[G3 General] nikoo6:
I completely understand that, but as well finger recognition was also used before by the motorola atrix but when iphone featured it lg and samsung included it to the flagships, i know that apple isnt really innovating but it annoys me that android brands usually put same features than apple does without creating an own image or features(excuse my english)

[G3 General] mgolder:
And the G3 isn't out in a few days either (unless LG are really planning a big surprise).
[G3 General] ECrispy:
Would like to see pics of the dialer/contacts and settings, hope they are all dark themed too!

I know LG won't release an update for G2, hopefully XDA devs can port it.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

It really bugs me how iOS is given credit for the 'flat' look when in fact all Apple did was copy Metro. Metro in WP7 as the first true flat UI and its still the best looking.
[G3 General] mgolder:
In theory though it is a debate that goes round and round and round with no answers. We like to accuse apple of copying our pull down notifications, and now windows phone is getting that too. Companies will use as much of other peoples ideas as they can, just in their own way and always will (then apple will sue them anyway . . . . I kid, I kid). Luckily we have the option of changing our icons at will on android, so if people don't like it they can change it easily.
[G3 General] SandyKick:
Compared to the Current & New UI ....... with same widget & icons i will prefer the new UI :good:

New UI is not awesome or amazing but compared to G2 or G Pro this is much better (IMO)
[G3 General] AyDee:
I like the new icons ok but they could tone that bright blue down some...

Lots of orange & blue in notifications ;)
[G3 General] bender_007:
:) looks like a theme to me
[G3 General] Cst79:
Looks a lot like the iOS 7. Really, they have a solid OS and a solid phone, why are they making fools of themselves by copying Apple yet again ?
[G3 General] wargreymon89:
Since you are unable to see that this is a case I have highlighted the proof for you.

Official press render by LG:

As you can clearly see in the highlighted areas, the sides stick out that snaps around the phone.

Leaked image:

As you can clearly see in the highlighted areas, the case goes around the body of the phone, leaving the top and bottom exposed. As you can also see there is nothing connected in the USB-port.

Conclusion: This is a case, not a back cover. The QuickCircle case does not magically give QI, it is built into the back cover of the phone from the start. Clear enough?
[G3 General] skally:
My apologies about the case part, these are new leaks to the ones I saw.

Your evidence however, still does not guarantee the G3 has QI built in. If you look at the leaks showing the device with it's exposed battery, you will see 4 sprung pins. On the Note 3 case, these pins are used to connect the QI coil and the NFC coil that are embedded in the Wireless Charging S-View Flip Cover.

As all this is still speculation and I was simply providing insight into how it has been done before, you should really calm your attitude down and not reply with such abrasion.
[G3 General] biggerbigboy:
I trink there will be a korean Version like we See on leaked pics and a rest-of-the-world Version. Like on the g2, one With removal battery With less capacity, Micro sd and one With bigger battery and no sd
[G3 General] wargreymon89:
The QI goes in the back cover just like the Note 3 back cover you speak of, just that it does so from the start. Probably there will be unofficial back covers that you can replace to get QI and circle window, but this case is just a case. Even the FCC filing said it has wireless charging and I assume that it says so because it has that from start and not because you might add it later.
[G3 General] skally:
I hope you're right, but the FCC filing for the Note 3 also included QI charging, and the standard battery cover did not have this ability.

It is also worth mentioning that my Note 3, with the QI enables back (not the QI flip cover) is over 10mm thick compared to without, which is advertised to be 8.3mm
[G3 General] bobbarker2:
What's the source for those pictures? I haven't seen them before. Also it looks like the first clear shot of the bottom, the open USB port would lead me to believe the G3 won't be waterproof.
[G3 General] wargreymon89:
Source: http://www.webtrek.it/2014/05/lg-g3...er-e-spunta-la-dock-per-la-ricarica-wireless/

Should be possible to waterproof a open USB port like you can with a 3.5mm jack, right?
[G3 General] Henry443:
This is really amazing and Unique.

It has many advance features love to use it.
[G3 General] skally:
It should be possible but all the manufacturers keep insisting on putting tethered rubber bungs on devices.

I wish they would create a USB spec that used a magnetic pogo pin interface.
[G3 General] klmd:
This time around the international (or at least US versions) will also have removable battery and micro SD slots. The FCC documents prove that.
[G3 General] l5s5d6:
The UK website comparison of LG shows 2gb ram and 16gb Rom

[G3 General] bobbarker2:
There's 2 versions of the G3, a 2gb/16gb and a 3gb/32gb.
[G3 General] l5s5d6:
I just hope that the 32gb/3gb version will be available internationally too not just in Korea. Because that picture was from UK website so It would be bad if it was the ver. for us all

G2 UI

Am i the only one that likes the g2 UI better than the G3? Im hoping theres a g2 rom to port to the G3 because Im in the love with the old UI reminds me of touchwiz
[G3 General] KLoNe1:
I don't mind the idea of the G3 UI update but seriously, if you're going to have square icons, make them ALL square!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:
[G3 General] 2dorr:
In your picture it's clear we are talking about a case with cover, but look at my link. It seems that the cases you have in your picture have not wireless charging and the ones in my link have it. We are talking about 2 different covers, one is a case and one is a replacement for the back cover.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-G...s-reveals-custom-interactive-menus_id56485#4-
[G3 General] CisternaChyli:
the LG Isai in Japan, which is their version of the G3, is water proof. Just saw a video on it...i guess LG has come up with a coating of some sort. There were reports last year that they were cooking up some sort of chemical coating to protect against water.
[G3 General] tkacer:
after all, that technology does already exist...http://www.liquipel.com/
[G3 General] skally:
It looks the same to me. I would say it was a replacement back, but with added protection around the corners. It looks like the corners also help in keeping the cover square when it's closed.

I hope the QI coil and the NFC coil are usable simultaneously, the Note 3 QI coil interferes with NFC. If they did it right, the NFC could be used to detect which dock it's in and change homescreens to suit. I never understood why the Nexus One Car-Home disappeared.

Personally, I was hoping the flip cover would attach magnetically.
[G3 General] 2dorr:
These 2 cases are different, and not by the white one having a cover. You are right that both cases have corner protection. But the white one is a replacement for the battery cover and that is why it has wireless charging and the black one is just a case that come over the battery cover of the phone. The phone has no pins on the battery cover to assure you can put a case over it with wireless charging. So the only way is to have a battery cover replacement like Samsung have on S4, S5, Note 3, that provide the wireless charging kit.
[G3 General] CisternaChyli:
i do know about liquipel, but apparently LG was working on something much more substantial.
[G3 General] clapper66:
Well I hope the g2 gets this ui update!!!
[G3 General] bobbarker2:
The white one is not a replacement for the battery cover. You can clearly see it goes over the back, the stuff inside it is to make it so Qi charging works while in the case.
[G3 General] 2dorr:
Wrong post.
[G3 General] 2dorr:
Then please tell with what come the 4 pins in contact on the stock battery door so the wireless charging is working? I say that it touches the 4 contacts in my picture. So it is a battery door...
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
Seems G3 will have bleed immersive mode at least in LG apps...

http://www.mobiflip.de/lg-g3-auf-niederlaendischer-lg-seite-online/
[G3 General] bobbarker2:
Idk, those contacts make it look like it should be a battery cover but the rest of the plastic doesn't. Look at the picture you linked, there's a bunch of divots around the edges which looks to be how the back cover hooks into the phone to lock in place. The Circle case has nothing in it's back cover that shows it could lock into place to replace the stock cover. It looks like it belongs covering over the outside edges over the phone. And look at the corners on the back cover of the case, they are extended to wrap around the corners of the phone and they extend much farther than a battery cover needs to.
[G3 General] 2dorr:
I know I am right, you'll see tomorrow. It's nothing new, just Samsung system of back cover replacement with wireless charging. As I said there are 2 types of covers, one you posted that comes over the stock battery cover and the one with wireless charging that replace the stock battery cover.
[G3 General] bobbarker2:
No I'm talking about the picture you linked up at the top of this page white case with wireless charging built in. It doesn't look like it could replace a battery cover at all. Also there's been multiple leaks that have said the G3 comes with wireless charging, not that you need to buy a case to use wireless charging. Just look http://lgg3.in/lg-g3-official/ and scroll down to where it says "Charge the G3 wireless". It even has a picture of the G3 in a wireless charging dock with no case.
[G3 General] 2dorr:
If the battery cover is metal, as it says on the Dutch website, you got your answer.

[G3 General] autom8r:
There's good reason to think that because this will be on 4.4.2, LG will port this UI over to their existing 4.4.2 devices!

At least, I sure hope so! It would make a lot of sense, I certainly pray this comes true.

If not, FML...
[G3 General] wgilles:
See a few posts up. "Flat" UIs and design have been around for quite some time. It a trend in graphic design and user experience. Everything new and cool coming out is going to be flat.

FYI...Microsoft was screwing around with flat UIs long before Apple.
[G3 General] Cst79:
Flat is flat, an iOS7-like is iOS7-like. You can certainly do a flat UI that does not look like Apple (Microsoft did, Nokia X did), but LG chose to shamelessly copy Apple.
[G3 General] wgilles:
I don't see how this

is copying this

Flat icons doesn't mean it is copying it. LG - no rounded corners, LG icons have "transparent" backgrounds (see LG browser icon). Part of the "flat" design is bright, vibrant colors, which is the only similarity and is present in almost every flat design.
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
Me too, and thank god it is nowhere looking like IOS7...
[G3 General] reas0n:
dang, this UI is sexy!
[G3 General] SandyKick:
+1 Agree :good:
[G3 General] ECrispy:
Amazing how Apple marketing has brainwashed people into thinking any flat is copying Apple! When in fact Microsoft was the first with a proper flat UI (Metro) and both Android and Apple copied over that design.
[G3 General] ingoljosh:
If you really dig deep and go back a few years LG had one of the nicest looking UI, then Samsung came and completely copied LG's icons with Touchwiz UI. LG has not changed much of their UI style over the years. Even this new icon set looks a lot like LG style with just a Flat Clean look/feel. I cant wait to upgrade to the G3, now that i can upgrade every year with Sprint.

Look at LG's UI in 2009 Vs Samsungs TouchWiz introduced in 2010
[G3 General] AyDee:
Not loving the round quick toggles...

I wish Android made a real-time blur effect easier to achieve... Would actually like to see them borrow that.
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
C'mon this is looking really awful, at least for me.

Btw how is this bezel_monster called on the second picture? :)
[G3 General] barleysoda:
I will take the one on the left. Easter is over. Pastel colors make me puke. Flat icons look like 3rd grade art work. If my phone looked like the one on the right, I would just hang it on the refrigerator and walk away.
[G3 General] nitsua98:
Why can't lg just use the quick settings page instead of the stupid toggles?
[G3 General] afrojoc:
I actually like it a lot. It looks really simple and light weight.
[G3 General] buenarc:
This is awesome. I should try this one now!
[G3 General] oadam11:
Looks like the galaxy s5.

What does the "G" icon mean next to the homescreen dots? Is it like the My Magazine feature or BlinkFeed?
[G3 General] BlakeSm:
This is why I use AOSP...so ugly...
[G3 General] phunkyjoey:
My guess on the G icon is it's for Google Now
[G3 General] abhinav.tella:
Good or bad, its a lot better than the current default. Fortunately for us LG allows themes.
[G3 General] snk002:
Really! And flat 16-colours icons I looked many years before, on VGA display and 16-bit Windows 3.1. But why now, with amazing colorful displays and powerful GPUs we should look to that primitive 16bit-like design?
[G3 General] chaki-:
Because old is new i guess....
[G3 General] amankapoor4:
why not just use one of 100 of icon set available for Nova Launcher.
[G3 General] kombochekenyere:
probably lg's take on blinkfeed or samsungs my screen or whatever.

or a homescreen for your g watch
[G3 General] zdravo:
i like this new UI...but i can wait for LG2 custom. :cowboy:
[G3 General] jojobans:
wooow very nice ...
[G3 General] :
Sorry but, that looks like a new skin, not a revamp of the ui....

Nice but hardly innovative or really "new"
[G3 General] bender_007:
:) despite the look - I'm sure the new ui(launcher) will be even more tweaked and faster etc.new features, maybe new theming etc.
[G3 General] votinh:
Are we going back and forth or just cycling?

Not long ago when icon moved to 3D, people were so happy about it and trashed the boring flat 2D icons. Now no more love for 3D and back to flat 2D?
[G3 General] wgilles:
New is old and old is new. Seems to be the way of the world.
[G3 General] nikoo6:
well windows 95 was with sharp corners and then with xp vista and seven it got rounder, right now is absolutely sharp again.

And with the toggles there is a clear copy to apppleee(N)

[G3 General] markdapimp:
Does anyone thing LG will update the LG g2 to this new UI

like HTC is going to update their HTC One m7 to HTC sense 6.0
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
Yes, the name of the update is LG G3. ;)
[G3 General] markdapimp:
the new update of the HTC one is HTC One m8

Seriously though http://www.htc.com/us/go/htc-software-updates/
[G3 General] Pyloge:
When we first used iOS 7 with UDID, all the people said the design is copy of Android and Windows Phone. Now people saying opposite. That's the advertisement power.:good: Hail!
[G3 General] nikoo6:
I mean the visual style is a copy, I know apple STOLE the quick acces toggles from android.

[G3 General] Esteway.619:
Where did u get the theme?
[G3 General] maddy1439:
hey

can we get this type of homescreen and notification bar for our g2?
[G3 General] adhitarecoming:
That's Not Theme..i use epic launcher..then use zooper widget..search in zooper threat..and for icon,i crop 1 by 1 from leaked G3 screen shot..but i can't crop circle icon from my phone,so i use clock n browser icon from s5.for wallpaper i search from internet..

Sorry my bad english..
[G3 General] Qverse:
ugly

IT is ugly I think. I ask myself the say question , Why is everyone like this apple flat cheeze white themes . This UI is boring cartoonish iOS , with a bit of windows OS look .

I prefer darker more Eye popping icons , dark boarders , keyboards more 3D ish ... Once the media start reviewing :eek:h how great abd It looks so nice , many fools follower join the rate and say IT great ,, What a flux

The grass is always greener on the other side......:rolleyes:
[G3 General] edinchez:
As a graphic designer, I think they chose the right path. Although it needs some work, they are definitely on the right path. Now let's just hope they update the G2 too because I just bought it less than a week ago and the current one is absolutely hideous. Although I did change nearly all of it with custom launchers and Xposed modules.
[G3 General] votinh:
The look of that homescreen is just plain dead with no soul in it.

Sorry but I don't like it.
[G3 General] player911:
Well this can be just themed on our existing LG Home launcher. Although I don't see it being difficult to just grab the G3 Home launcher apk and run it on our phones. However I do believe that the themes are cross platform between different Home versions.

The widgets can be grabbed too.

Personally I like it. I like it more then the stock theme on the G2. However I also go to Nova Launcher Prime with it's glorious icon themes and options.
[G3 General] Rippley05:
It does look boring. I like change, so I don't mind revamping..but it does look plain and meh
[G3 General] deadgiveaway:
I guess innovation cost too much and is too risky ....

So follow it is

[G3 General] NuclearEMP:
I was going to say the same thing.

in my opinion, not really into the whole "FLAT" UI look, loses the high quality feel and looks childish and toy like. I do agree with going dark for a change, if I remember correctly didnt the Galaxy nexus have a Black theme going?
[G3 General] kapa75:
Well the IU is still ugly even if it's better than the G2 UI.

Stock kitkat android >>> all.

Why the hell they change the UI of stock android so much?

Nowadays most of android apps follow stock android UI guidelines.

Android ui is finally starting to be coherent as a whole like ios and windows phone.

But phone manufacturers are going backwards. They all come with their own UI.
[G3 General] chaki-:
I don't like stock Android UI at all. OEM's own UI gives personality. But there is always a way to personalize it the way you like it.

I change the icons with every theme. But flat ones look awful.

Just my 2 cents
[G3 General] hamad138:
Guys what are the chances that the new UI will arrive on G2? Isnt that almost 0%?

Thanks in advance
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
I guess the launcher, icons and widgets will be ported quite easy, once the G3 is released, if LG won't bring it to the G2.
[G3 General] Dubbin1:
It does nothing for me.
[G3 General] AlexeyOD:
I like it.
[G3 General] frettfreak:
Is this true?? LG wont update the G2? Hmmm... this is my first LG phone (g2) which i got a few days ago and i am loving it so far. Really excited to see the g3 but if LG doesnt update like their competition (HTC and Samsung have both rolled their new UI down to at LEAST the previous year flagships if not 2 years) i wont be back.

Google has been going flatter with ALL thier apps for a WHILE now as well. Its ridculous that apple copies EVERYONE else, then gets credit for doing something new....

get a clue....
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
Says who, source please....
[G3 General] frettfreak:
Thats what i was thinking. I mean... ALL of LG's competition has brought newer UI to older phones (at least any competitor that matters). It woud be wise of LG to make sure they keep updating handsets or they will ultimately loose followers to the competition who is.
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
HTC yes, they are updating Sense, but Samsung haven't updated Touchwiz on the S3, neither on the S4 for example.

But nobody knows if LG will do it, honestly I doubt it, but people are acting like LG confirmed it.
[G3 General] hamad138:
LG will never do it, before u buyed ur G2 u should have known that LG is one of the worst updater.
[G3 General] deadgiveaway:
Was ...
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
Since when do you know, what is important for me when I buy a smartphone??

I have read such bull**** about LG is not updating their smartphone, and guess what,I didn't care because I was very happy with it on 4.2.2....

And what happened?

The G2 got the kitkat update before the S4 in my region.

So keep on complaining....
[G3 General] Jank4AU:
"Is..." just my opinion coming from the OG and now G2. How many updates have we seen? However, i did know what I getting into when i got this phone. I usually bank in dev support instead of OEM.
