I actually did search and still don't see a clear answer. One guy saying "some have it some dont"

is that the answer?
[Verizon LG G3] jreed2560:
Got my phone around 9am. I've been charging and transferring all my stuff so I haven't had much time to play with it. So far I will say there is a notable studder when navigating the phone. But the screen is gorgeous.
[Verizon LG G3] J3ff:
Notable stutter?? Like what!! That'll drive me nuts!
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Nice, that's the exact version IOroot supports.
[Verizon LG G3] ninjazx:
That is what I am doing too.
[Verizon LG G3] jreed2560:
It's hard to describe. I wouldn't call it lag. Just not super smooth. It doesn't bother me though. I've turned my animations off. May just be my phone. Overall I'm satisfied. No regrets.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
Did you swap to ART? or try out NOVA launcher?
[Verizon LG G3] flaring afro:
No one has it, but we have 4 pins on the phone itself so it should be possible with a different back or ripping out the qi part on another back.

It honestly is confusing - there even is a whole thread stating it's been confirmed that it has it but it was by official sources but ones that have been proven wrong about a lot of other stuff already. We do have pics from people who received theirs early and none have had a qi back, and it wouldnt make sense for some to have it and some not to.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
One of the threads in the accessories section claimed that VZW also uses PMA...which would be upsetting.
[Verizon LG G3] jreed2560:
I will eventually. I like to get a feel for a phone first before I go crazy changing things.
[Verizon LG G3] juntistik:
+1, other posters have said switching to ART makes a noticeable difference, with the biggest drawback being potential Bluetooth instability
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
I understand this but then you still have to get rid of the data plan on the feature phone line. trust me ive done this for years now that unlimited is gone and I am still locked into a 2 year contract on Verizon! so I think im doing just fine
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Biggest drawback of ART is no Xposed imo. There's a great G3 customization module for xposed.
[Verizon LG G3] garywojdan81:
No you don't. Reactivating the feature phone cancels the data package because it's not compatible with the device. I just did exactly this process in November (mine) and December (my wife's) of last year. We even transferred our upgrades to the same feature phone line when we did it.
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
Still no tracking info for me, I wish I could cancel and go into the store but I am doing the upgrade transfer and activation bypass and I don't trust retail
[Verizon LG G3] jorbramsey:
Tracking

So mine says it was picked up from Memphis, TN @ noon yesterday, and now says at 10:30pm yesterday it Arrived at FedEx location in Memphis, TN.

I live in Oregon, still no update of it leaving TN. Still says it's going to be arriving tomorrow but Memphis is 30+ hours from here? Anyone else showing the same?
[Verizon LG G3] mutelight:
Mine is showing the same, they may not be updating the site. I have had a 90lbs amp for my home theater that did something similar where it was showing it was at the hub in TN up until a day before it was supposed to be delivered. They still delivered it to me on the expected delivery date.
[Verizon LG G3] Umbrella Corp:
Mine shows the same, I'm in Seattle.

Shipment information sent to FedEx
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
I found this very funny. Wasn't expecting any attention was just venting out of frustration(excuse the shorthand had to make sure I had enough characters to send the message). Nevertheless pretty funny. Guess the mobile industry is very cut throat.
[Verizon LG G3] flaring afro:
Fedex flies overnight deliveries if the distance is great enough. It's probably sitting around until the jet leaves. I doubt it will update before it's scanned in a location after the flight.
[Verizon LG G3] MustafaHadaKing:
Just ordered mine! once i get it gonna start whipping up some ROMS :)
[Verizon LG G3] jorbramsey:
Makes sense.
[Verizon LG G3] Big Dawg 23:
Well as I stated earlier in the thread my card was charged yesterday morning. VZW site I have to go to for my company line said it shipped. Then about 10am today because I have my address tied to my fedex account, it alerts me of all deliveries no matter who ships it via text. At 1230 today I finally got my VZW tracking information, which says it arrives by 8PM tomorrow.
[Verizon LG G3] IndianaBond:
That's one of the things I'm going to do; Nova. What I've read on here, art is not worth switching over since the code is outdated. Wait till 'L' comes out then it will be lightning.
[Verizon LG G3] XylerSmith:
So for the people that got there LG G3 does it have the two tone or is the front all black???
[Verizon LG G3] jimbob_sf:
I write a lot of tech docs and I'm not following; sorry for being a moron here. I've got 2 lines on one plan. Both are unlimited. My phone is a G2, wife's is a iPhone 5. Both are eligible for upgrade. Can someone swap out the variables (current phone, feature phone, new phone used above with G2, iPhone, G3)? I tried and something just didn't make sense. MUCH appreciated b/c I nearly lost ULD on my last upgrade by doing something like this wrong.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
not when I did it I was charged a few dollars for the short time the data plan was activated. like retroactive. like I said im not worried im fine. cant beat 2 year contract with unlimited not many people can say that
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
The procedure you quoted doesn't work if both lines are unlimited. You would need to have a separate line with a feature phone (aka dumb phone) to upgrade on, which you don't.
[Verizon LG G3] osmidy:
If you only have two lines and they both have unlimited, there's no way for either line to upgrade at the subsidized price without at least one of you losing unlimited (unless the best buy Sim trick still works).
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
correct. although there was I thought a bestbuy glitch to do it idk though never upgraded at bb or had two unlimited lines
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
Yea I saw your post, mine was charged yesterday too. Mine isn't a company line phone. I called this morning as I indicated earlier and had a CSR spend like 30 min trying to find out anything she could about the shipment. Said she would call me back later as she was also checking into something about the g watch for me but I never heard back. I just want shipment info saying it will be here by Friday, the CSR worried that if it didnt update it might not ship until tomorrow and then might not arrive until monday.

Hmm now my order disappeared from MyVerizon. Wait now it is back, the notification disappeared, though if I click more detail it says order not found.

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

there is a BBY glitch

Keep unlimited
[Verizon LG G3] garywojdan81:
That's correct, you need a feature phone line, which is what I described using. I have 5 lines, 2 unlimited, 1 4gb/mo, 1 5gb/mo, and 1 feature phone. It works if you have the lines.
[Verizon LG G3] monkeypunch35:
I just left a Verizon store. On the grey model, the entire from of the phone is the glossy jet black. The back cover is the brushed grey, the same as the rest of the carriers. On the white model, which is more of a pearl then white, the bottom bezel of the device has the same pearl color as the back cover.
[Verizon LG G3] Umbrella Corp:
Mine now shows that it just left Memphis
[Verizon LG G3] boe:
Mine finally left Memphis. Strange it was in Memphis first thing yesterday but for some reason they decided to overnight it today instead of yesterday or 2 day it yesterday.
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
There is, but I've never done it so I can't comment on how it is done.
[Verizon LG G3] BlueHarford:
i got my tracking ordered it yesterday getting overnighted from PA to MD and i will have it tomorrow
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
I wish there was a dislike button haha

The CSR I just spoke with said my device isn't going to ship until tomorrow, but they have no idea half the time and she has no idea why the order is pending/processing :cowboy: <- time for the run-around again
[Verizon LG G3] XylerSmith:
Thanks man excited to here... does it have arrows on the back buttons or are they blank?
[Verizon LG G3] simollie:
Lol. I wish it's that simple, except that the point and shoot camera can't auto-backup to Google photos, or cast to my Xbox, or share on social network...
[Verizon LG G3] Skizzy034:
Is this the thread for the Verizon G3: Huge VZW Logo Edition lol? Seriously VZW needs to chill with that.
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
The logo could be pink neon with glitter as long as they offer a 3/32 (I could put a sticker over the logo) :)

I would take that ANY day over a 2/16 with no logo. A sticker is not going to make it 3/32 ;)
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
My wife has a S5... cute little phone, takes good pics, but it's too small for me. I returned the 6" One Max for this one. 5.5" is small enough.
[Verizon LG G3] Rippley05:
Yea. I grabbed an m8, returned it for an s5. I really wanted the g3..but it's just too long. They do this all the time.
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
G3 is the same length as the M8, just slightly wider and a little thinner.

http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g3_vs_htc_one_m8-review-1094p2.php
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
I thought the M8 is a tad longer than the G3? Optical illusion due to the M8 being thinner? The display on the M8 looks dinky compared to the G3 and the LG method of hiding the nav bar works with more apps and the UI better than the M8. The M8 really has a 4.5" display when offsetting for the nav bar in some applications and UI.

Same all around size really, but a LOT less display with the M8. Also no battery options and weaker camera. IF the 3/32 is offered on your respective carrier, seems the G3 is the better option. That is unless a big bezel and metal is your thing :) ;) That said, if I were "forced" to choose between a 16GB G3 and a 32GB M8, I would likely side with the M8 due to app storage. My S4 32GB has only 4GB free. Then again, I would chose my S4 over the M8 due to more display and no nav bar (button rather than wasted display space). Would also choose the S4 over the 2/16 G3 due to the 32GB internal on the S4. Winning! :)
[Verizon LG G3] Rippley05:
Oh wow...I see how I messed up what I was trying to say. I meant the wait is too long, 2 months of hype before we may have a shot at the phone. LG has done this in the past, I was excited for the gpad..until it took forever to become available.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
I guess the longer it takes, the more other options we will have I guess.
[Verizon LG G3] Skizzy034:
So far, as I've heard, only T-Mobile will be getting 3/32, and that sucks for us on any of the other carriers.
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
There will likely be a lot of ticked off posters in various forums. Most here get the need for more storage due to card permission changes and ART (5.0 uses it) that uses more storage. Not seeing how 10gb on a device like this makes sense to the user unless not much gaming or other app use.

A Best Buy manager that trains their mobile staff in the region stated several weeks ago that Tmo had exclusivity with the 3/32 model in the US. Verizon could care less since prefer the lower price point to sell more units and drive more accessory sales.

I am still hoping VZW offers a 3/32, but looks unlikely.
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
Link?
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
They said it on their official twitter.

To everyone saying TMo has exclusive 3/32, Sprint said they will carry 3/32 as well. So either official Sprint twitter is wrong or all these "tips" are.
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
This is true.
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
Perhaps since Sprint and Tmo are trying to match up in a love tangle, perhaps Sprint is getting some action too. The only model number for Sprint I have seen notes a 2/16 model, but that means diddly until carriers announce.

All could offer 3/32 until something is published by them :)

Please keep in mind the Tmo exclusivity is supposed to be temporary. At&t got temporary exclusivity with the S4 32GB and then VZW got it about six weeks or so later.

The S5 32GB apparently was never an option for hardly any markets, so APPARENTLY not the carriers fault....
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
I have a hard time believing any of the big 4 will be locked out of the 3/32 version. Or if they are, it will only be temporary like you said.

Everyone's getting upset because of storages shown on different models in pdadb but that doesn't mean anything. Just wait for a real leak or the carriers to say something before getting upset.
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
I have a feeling we're all going to be REALLY happy sometime in the second week in July. But that's all I'm saying. :angel:
[Verizon LG G3] bill3508:
Hope so. The 16 is a deal breaker for me.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Verizon LG G3] JasonJoel:
I'll only be happy if an 805 based version w/32gb comes out. In other words, I won't be happy.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
QQ more.
[Verizon LG G3] monkeypunch35:
Didn't look that close to be honest! I was staring at the bottom bezel trying to decide which I liked better. I still don't know. Is Verizon doing 3 colors, because I saw a white and a grey, but nothing like the "metallic black" others have mentioned.
[Verizon LG G3] XylerSmith:
not sure i dont think so i heard that verizon on there website that the rendering of the phone was wrong or something and its just like all the others
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
well apparently FedEx has my device and has had it since last night but did not give a tracking number to VZW

they believe it was picked up and at the Memphis location yesterday at 3pm
[Verizon LG G3] brb198:
Mine is at the local fedex center waiting to be delivered tomorrow. They said I could pick it up if it wasn't for Verizon restricting pickups to only after the 1st attempt has been made. Grr!
[Verizon LG G3] XylerSmith:
do you guys think its worth having the better screen over better battery life?
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
yup. can always swap out batteries
[Verizon LG G3] LucasMN:
No. I really hope the battery isn't as bad as some make it out to be. If it's bad, I'll be returning and getting a different phone.
[Verizon LG G3] IndianaBond:
Well, since this phone has a removable battery, you can get an extra battery just in case.
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
I think there is a balance, I loved my 2 days of life on my DROID RAZR Maxx, the screen was okay but the camera sucked. I considered the last Maxx but decided against again because of camera and the screen wasn't even 1080, though it looked decent.

I feel the battery will be better than most are making it out to be and could improve a bit with updates or tweaks. If it is really bad I will give my G3 to my brother and get a different phone.
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
And losing about 25% of storage space. That is a biggie, since makes the 32gb a 24gb device. ART is not worth it for the milli seconds of improvement.
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
how does the pearl look?
[Verizon LG G3] XylerSmith:
im not sure ive heard good and bad things about it im gonna be putting in an sd card so ill probably try ART
[Verizon LG G3] tu3218:
Hey guys for the hell of it, I just went onto to bestbuy.com, and went to pre-order the G3. I clicked pre-order and the next window that popped up, I selected upgrade my device and check availability. I entered in my number, etc to verify I was eligible for an upgrade. It confirmed it with me that I was eligible and it said "This means you can keep your existing wireless plan and upgrade today". Then it gives me the option to click "Keep current Plan". Below that it states my Nationwide talk and text family share plan 1400 minutes. Onto the next page after selecting "keep current plan", it says device requires data plan and than says network access fee, and I can select "no change". From here I can add this package to my cart. So is this looking like I can upgrade and keep my same data plan?? I'm afraid to proceed onward.
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
Only if home delivery is what I've heard.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

That's your call. Your usage is different than others. I've heard the one battery will get you through a day. If not, swap. Better screen FTW
[Verizon LG G3] 05GT:
Are the Verizon FedEx deliveries requiring a signature?
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
Yes or a note on the door with sig
[Verizon LG G3] monkeypunch35:
I am extremely torn on it. My first impression was that it looks girly. Mainly because it is truly pearl colored. I think the metallic brushed look used amplifies this effect. I was assuming it would be similar to my GS3's white. The thing which kind of bugs me the most is how the white contrasts the black bezel around the screen. The rest of the front of the device is black (with the screen off), and you just have this pearl white bezel on the bottom. It seems out of place. On the Galaxy devices, the white above the screen seems to balance the look of the phone.

So, after reading that you are probably thinking there is no way monkeypunch is getting the pearl. The problem is, Verizon has decided to make the bottom bezel on the grey device the same glossy jet black as the rest of the front. And it looks cheap as hell.

I will be putting a case on my G3, so you really won't be able to see the back. Going with the grey color way would really let me pick whatever color case I want, and it would match. Also, if someone does start making aftermarket back covers which enable wireless charging, I could pick whatever color I wanted and not have to worry about matching the front pearl bezel.
[Verizon LG G3] mjforte:
Looks like no arrows on the back buttons.
[Verizon LG G3] Umbrella Corp:
I ordered a white G3 for me and got this covers today.

can u post a black version??? both sides
[Verizon LG G3] mjforte:
Posted these earlier in the thread but here is the black back and front.
[Verizon LG G3] XylerSmith:
Thanks so much i really like how it looks.
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
considering i work for BBY Mobile, will this "glitch" work for me when i upgrade my line and not activate the included sim card but stick in my old sim card from my G2? for us BBY MOBILE employees here who are going to get them one for themselves, would this work through BEAST??? it seems that glitch revolves around someone other than YOURSELF activating the phone and not using your old sim card, but instead activating the new sim card inside the phone, which kicks u off the unlimited data plan you previously had. i had this theory before myself but never knew it was confirmed.
[Verizon LG G3] coldking:
installing the old sim card in the new phone is how they have been upgrading and keeping unlimited over on the rezound forum. just dont put the new sim in the phone
[Verizon LG G3] flaring afro:
I agree. I thought it would look like a back cover from a different phone slapped on and mismatched, but it does seem to look good. On the AT&T model, the bottom stands out too much because it looks stainless, not black. The focus on a device like this should be the screen, not the bezel. I wouldn't want a stainless steel bezel around a television for the same reasons, or a black trim around the top and sides and stainless just on the bottom to make it look unbalanced.
[Verizon LG G3] boe:
Mine left Memphis at 2:20 PM and arrived in Burbank at 3:51 PM.

I really wish this phone had come with the charging back - that was the only new feature I was really looking forward to on this phone other than a slightly larger screen and possibly better cell reception.
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
ah ok... oh and would they be able to move an unlimited data account over to a concession line once i upgrade? does anyone have knowledge of this? i just found out about this, where we are only charged for 50% of the data and no monthly access fee. so my bill will literally be around $15 a month if this is possible lol.
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
I finally got a tracking number. Tomorrow by 3pm
[Verizon LG G3] budven:
My phone is sitting in a FedEx truck...I sure wish they would charge it for me!
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
Ha well if the phone is coming with wireless charging maybe the truck has powerful coils

That was a joke about the wireless charging everyone before I get flamed
[Verizon LG G3] Eyalkn:
Lol
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
Has anyone found out where they are going to be selling the wireless charging back? And in what colors?
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
Just got back from Best Buy. I asked the guy at the cell phone counter if they will have the verizon g3 in stock tomorrow. He said he didn't know when it comes out on Verizon. How do they not know that they will be selling the verizon version tomorrow and I'm sure they have a stack of them in the back.
[Verizon LG G3] ninjadick:
nm. I was mistaken. Great way to start on xda!
[Verizon LG G3] rhydian:
All carriers have the same design.

Your screen protectors will work with it.
[Verizon LG G3] ninjadick:
Nm... I was wrong.
[Verizon LG G3] XylerSmith:
Exactly
[Verizon LG G3] monkeypunch35:
Yea they are as bad as Verizon employees. When I asked if they had a white version to look at, to decide which to buy before tomorrow, the employee looked at me funny and said it was available today. She then went on a quest to find me a Verizon phone. It was entertaining. She ended up coming back and saying they had 0 in the store and she didn't know when they would get any.
[Verizon LG G3] cpg1987:
Same just happened to me too man. I was trying to see if an employee would be cool and let me upgrade it tonight lol. I asked if they had any G3's for Verizon, since they had AT&T and Sprint on display. The guy had no idea and went to check his inventory. He told me they were still on pre-order, so my decision will be easy tomorrow. I will be heading to the Verizon store to get it on my lunch break..

I did mess with the phone for a good 20 minutes since I've read so many complaints about certain things. I turned the brightness on 100% and did not notice any weird text sharpening. Also, I didn't notice the digitizer others have complained about being visible. The phone seemed very snappy to me and the screen was absolutely beautiful.

I don't know how many of you saw the thread in the Q&A section, but there is a setting in the Accessibility menu to adjust the contrast of the screen. On the unit I was messing with, I moved the circle down about half inch. This made the screen pop and got rid of the washed out look the screen tends to have. I can't wait to get mine tomorrow now haha
[Verizon LG G3] rhydian:
There is glass covering the entire front on all models, isn't there?
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
In the verizon section they had a cardboard cutout of a generic android phone. That is not something they should do. It looks terrible and the edges were broken. Don't put anything out if you don't have something decent to put out. I'll be going back tomorrow over lunch to get it at Best Buy since I have one of their $50 gift cards when upgrading your phone.
[Verizon LG G3] monkeypunch35:
Nope. All the other carriers Grey color way has a bottom grey bezel, the Verizon's is black.

The grey color way

The white color way
