if the Nexus 4 is avaible its the better option.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
If the choice is between these two devices, I'd say definitely yes. The things against the OG are the camera (but honestly, it's quite decent, and not THAT bad as you might hear from some people -- my picture quality improved greatly after just cleaning the lens cover from the inside :)), and the lack of an SD card slot. In every other aspect, technically and aesthetically, OG is a better phone, IMO. I love my OG! :)

"When I am given a choice of two options, I pick the third one". :) Frankly, N4 suggestion is questionable, to say the least, unless you are a die-hard Android purist. I personally didn't own an N4, but based on what I hear from people I know, everybody who had a chance to compare the two side by side, prefer the OG (not talking about the retail price here, of course). N5, however, is just not a fair comparison to either OG, or SGS3, or N4...
[LG Optimus G (International)] EvilKing009:
Thanks guys,Nexus 4 has only 16gb storage which is worse for me so i was looking for SGS III but its quiet expensive for me. :(

Lg OG is quiet bad in camera but I hearded that its camera quality can be improved by flashing AOSP Roms(Cyanogenmod,Carbon etc).Is that right ? :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] EvilKing009:
LG OG users,

Is this device is better in terms of gaming(especially in Graphics) ?

and

does it supports Slow-Motion Video recording ? :confused:
[LG Optimus G (International)] WreckLv:
Since nexus 5 is so cheap, i would save up for it. Camera is good, if you dont have sun in front of camera...Light ruins every photo. No matter how strong or weak it is, it will ruin every photo you want to take indoors. Outdoors its okaai. In terms of gaming, this lil dude runs everything i want. It definately beats Samsung galaxy s3 in everything, but camera and sound. Display is amazing, and looks are nice too.

About slow-motion videos..idk. Stock camera doesnt have this function.

In short, it all depends from your budget and the price you can get the Optimus G for.
[LG Optimus G (International)] ITzRicardo94:
Gaming on the LG Optimus G is perfect! It supports medium to high graphics. From what I've seen, because I've played a lot of games on it, every game runs smooth with good graphics, like Real Racing 3 and like about a month ago, I started playing Blitz Brigade. Great games and good graphics. Price per performance, I find the LG Optimus G perfect! I am now on Kitkat made from LG. Stable, smooth, no lag/slowdowns at all and no crashes. Camera improved a lot since Kitkat. And you get 32GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, Adreno 320(Still great). It can run any emulator at full speed, except for Dolphin Emulator(Stays black and then crashes because of bad drivers) and PPSSPP(depending on the game).

And no.. It doesn't have Slow-Motion Video recording.. It has the capabilities, because the Xiaomi Mi2 can record up to 120fps at 480p and 720p at 60-90fps and has the same Qualcomm APQ8064. I mean, it should.. But it doesn't
[LG Optimus G (International)] guidoido004:
No, there are better and cheaper devices out there already. I would go for the 4g moto G, for a good as it, or to the g3 to the best I think it's available.

Thanks,Will gonna buy LG OG,Too bad it don't supports Slow-motion recording while my older HTC sensation does. :(

Moto G and G3 they are expensive in my country,just a LG OG that is available in cheap price,looking for LG G pro too. ^^
[LG Optimus G (International)] WreckLv:
That motorola is worse in every way-smaller screen, weaker cpu, weaker gpu, worse camera, less ram..
[LG Optimus G (International)] prog19:
Agree... moto g is a great device, but isnt in the same league of n4 or og
[LG Optimus G (International)] guidoido004:
Moto G has the best 5mp pictures I'd seen, has a processor that's running at the same clock beats the n4/og, has a screen that fits better in hands, and got all official updates one month after aosp sources were released. In theory it beats the og in all comparisons, apart from the theoretical one. Newer mid range how always beat older high end one. The prove is that three years ago the s2 and the atria were the best, now any **** is better than both.

Qualcomm MDM9615/APQ8064 1,5 Ghz Krait vs Qualcomm MSM8226 Snapdragon 400 1.2 Ghz A7

Adreno 320 vs Adreno 305

2gb ram vs 1 gb ram

What the hell are you talkin about?
[LG Optimus G (International)] guidoido004:
Our phone is good, I'm just saying it isn't worth anymore. It has two years in the marked and there's a lot of better stuff cheaper. And I made the tests myself, the moto G is able to do everything the Og does fast as it is able. Remember also os something, snapdragon pro is a quad-core cortex a15 snapdragon 200 from 2012. Obsolete. If you want to spend money, spend in something with less than 6 months of market availability. Or not, you money, your choice.

ppl comparing a flagship to a mid ranger. .. haha

no. please buy this phone even though is kinda old is still a premium glass phone: )
[LG Optimus G (International)] guidoido004:
Yeah sure, is really smart to buy a 2012 flagship instead of a 2014 mid-range which is faster, better, cheaper and also has more support time. Don't get me wrong. But the log is totally obsolete compared to newer devices, even some mid-ranges. Even the s4 mini is faster and smoother than the lgog...

I'm not saying it isn't good, just saying that if you want a flagship device, buy one new, not one outdated and almost unsupported by the oem.

[LG Optimus G (International)] LightningFarron:
whatever.

anyway i don't regret selling my moto g for this beast. im glad im not obsessed over the "latest" snapdragon chip lol

when i was at the store i grabbed both the g1 and g2 but this one is more than i need. and the g2 is now "obsolete" anyway :lol:
[LG Optimus G (International)] WreckLv:
Bull****. No matter old or new, Adreno 305 wont beat Adreno 320..And mid-range SOC of 2013 wont beat 2012 top range. Yes, it will feel fast. But put it to more demanding tasks, and you will get those A7`s to knees. As with chinese phones-they all get goot scores in antutu, but when u put them to gaming..not so good anymore.
[LG Optimus G (International)] geokilla:
Get something else. The Optimus G is not a good investment anymore. If I was to drop $200 on a cell phone today, I'd get the Xiaomi Redmi. My friend has one and man oh man it's amazing. I believe it works with Canada 3G too. Not too sure though, will have to double check.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Galileo:
I'm sorry but anyone who thinks the snapdragon 400 and adreno 305 are better than the snapdragon s4 pro and adreno 320 just because those are newer is a real stupid ****...

And for 200-300 the Optimus G is a hell of a good investment. Ignorance is never bliss.
[LG Optimus G (International)] niknik76:
I think Optimus G is pretty good value - but battery life could be better IMO..
[LG Optimus G (International)] EvilKing009:
-_-
[LG Optimus G (International)] Avantu:
Xiaomi Redmi isn't better than Optimus G in any aspect. First of all, Redmi is budget phone, even cheaper than your mentioned 200$. Secondly, it hasn't anything better than Optimus G. Worse procesor (Mediatek or Snapdragon 400), 1GB ram, worse build quality(i guess), and you have to get the phone from China, which means low support if you broke your phone or something.

Same goes to guy who told that Moto G is better than Optimus G haha. First of all, it is again cheaper phone, with worse specs, why even think about cheaper phone if u can go with Optimus G or Galaxy S3 LTE for example?

It is hard to find better phone for this price than Optimus G, maybe some chinese phones, from Oppo or similar. When i was searching for phone, i was thinking about Xiaomi, but for the price i would get MT6589T which is lot worse than Snapdragon in Optimus G, so i prefered to get little more money and go for LG.

//Edit: Yes it is really worth to buy LG Optimus G, especially if you are going to root and mod it which is super easy with this phone. Second good phone i would consider is Galaxy S3 LTE(which has 2GB of ram), but only if u are going to modify the system, stock rom is getting slow over time and without mods sound isn't as good as people says. If stock, i would go for LGOG, if u want to mod it depends on your preference, Camera/Audio(Galaxy S3) or Performance(LGOG). On the other hand, as i said LG is super easy to modify and has good sound after installing ViperAudio for example.
[LG Optimus G (International)] EvilKing009:
ThankS.Just a one more thing.Does it camera got its improvements in stock(LG) Kitkat rom ?? :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] gboos:
I bought my LGOG E975 like 3 months ago. Used on eBay without any scratch or something else for 200EUR. Today, I would buy it again. In these 3 months I had the chance to test it against other much higher priced phones. Don't see any real and serious disadvantage in day-to-day usage against newer phones. Look at the Moto X or something else. Less memory, equal power, less battery life etc. Just an example.

I think LGOG E975 is still a "buy-to-go".

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feered:
Okay, so this is a question I've been wondering for awhile now. I've done a bit of researching to only notice that a lot of people have been having issues related to group MMS as well as picture MMS and most of the complaints come from Android users... I've been using Android ever since I've owned a smartphone and absolutely love it. I am in no way or shape a fan of any type of Apple products, so I am not here trying to get a rise out of anyone.

Anyway, I partake in several group text messages daily. Between class projects, work, and friends, I usually have a good 3-4 group messages going simultaneously. So I've had the luxury of dealing with this issue first hand. This may have something to do with the fact I have very poor service at my house but I don't think it should be impacting my use of group MMS that much.

I own a Nexus 5 on T-Mobile and use Google Hangouts.

Now, for the issue... It seems about every 5-6 MMS messages, one will appear in the respondents thread rather then the group message itself. It will let me know that there is a MMS ready to be downloaded. So I then proceed to click and download the message. It's very intermittent but on occasions, it will fail to download the message all together. In which case, I will never see that text the person sent unless I ask them specifically what was said. It's really quite annoying...

Granted, 90% of the time, all of the respondents are using an iPhone. And that's where my question comes in... Some have T-Mobile and never ever experience this problem on their iPhone's. My friend who also owns a Nexus 5 and is also part of the group messages says that he has experienced what I've been going through...

I've tried changing my APN settings with no avail. Matter of fact, I changed my APN settings and started getting group messages in this format: <No Subject> What's up guys?

To me, this is absolutely ridiculous. The technology has been around for awhile, so it's hard to see why it hasn't been perfected yet in Android. The other day, I was in a group MMS with 2 other friends. Both of them where chatting but I was only seeing messages from one person... As if he was talking to himself. They both have iPhones. So not only are they not downloading successfully but now I have no way of seeing if anyone even sent anything at all.

I remember being on Verizon with my Droid RAZR and also experienced this same exact issue with group MMS.

Any ideas?

You can not directly download videos from opera mini. You can use UC Browser. But the best way is to use SnapTube Video Downloader or TubeMate app.
[Samsung Galaxy Star] rms112:
Of course you can. See attached image :)

I don't recommend the method mentioned in OP though. Because you're going to a different website ( which appears to be 'savefrom.net') by putting 'ss' in front of YouTube link. I'd rather use NewPipe for YouTube downloads because it's free, open source, light on system resources and completely ads free. Tubemate and snaptube are heavily bloated and ads infested.

Is there a stock, HTC Emergency Alerts app? Can anyone provide an apk, as Verizon has stiffed me on this one. I get amber alerts but other than a subject line, cannot review them. Can the volume be managed say on a time schedule? Please don't debate me on the necessity of this. I will find a way to turn them off if I can't manage it. I am rooted. :cowboy:

If I do a Google image search for "htc one m8 emergency alerts app" I can see an Emergency Alerts app with orange triangle with ! icon. My Verizon M8 doesn't have this, and yet Verizon's site says to manage Emergency Alerts, go to apps.. Emergency Alerts.... When amber alerts come in, besides scarying me out of my chair, waking my precious baby, or just confusing me in my sleep, I have no idea what happened, after I manage to make it stop. I cannot review them after I've collected my thoughts. I have seen the most recent one in the recent apps list under Messages, yet there is no setting under the messaging app to affect or review them.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] djakrse:
Can anyone with a Verizon M8 confirm they are missing the app as well? I don't understand why Verizon's site explains how to configure the app for the M8, yet the app is missing on my phone, at least. Perhaps I should have asked for the apk in the general M8 forum?

I don't have that, but as far as I know the settings for the Emergency Alerts should be under the Messages app settings (text message default app). I do not have the option now, but I think I did previously. Will keep looking into it.

I knew the alerts were being displayed in the messages app, at least once viewing the alert. So we're talking a difference in messages apk between carrier phones? This is what gives you the settings... Where'd the app drawer entry come from? Is there an additional system app?

I saw CDMA somewhere in your output. Does that suggest something is incompatible with the Verizon phones or maybe just it is on such hardware? I don't expect answers to all Qs, just getting frustrated at all if the features Verizon removes from our phones.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] runandhide05:
Yes there is a difference in the mms app between carriers. Vzw has ripped out a ton of features verses the international one. In fact I have a thread showing all the features removed. And how to get all of them back.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729137

The app drawer icon is from the mms apk I'm using from the international variant. It has that and serveal other things and that's why i am using it.

It refers to cmda because that is the type of phone therefore the type of messages received. All emergency messages are both cmda and gsm. So they are able to be received on any type of phone/carrier.

Note: using the mms apk I currently have you do lose the vvm integration however I don't use it there for I don't care
