I've got OPO and N5.

The N5 takes better pictures. Don't know why might be just different default settings. I avoided N5 til the camera complaints died down so I was standing on the shoulders or earlier users (thanks).

The OPO is different, in some ways better, in other ways worse. I'd say they are both good choices, but I prefer the N5's physical size as a device which is your pocket mostly and I prefer OPO if I want to carry just one device for a long trip and not carry a tablet.

Probably... best to own both OPO and N5 if cost no issue and just use Google Voice with 2 lines or move the SIM. Owning both allows you to have a total phone failure also and you got a spare.

N5+OPO costs not much more than a LG G3.

I'm looking to buy a cheap mint N5 16GB as the phablet role can be met by the OPO. My N5 I got is 32GB.

N5 on Swappa makes NO sense, prices not much less than new. Waiting for N5 price drop and ebay daily deals, cheapest I seen is N5 16GB new $330 but I'm in California so it add tax. Waiting.

No, all kidding aside (seriously), Apple must be doing something right - the iPhone is so wildly popular for a reason. I'm just a dinosaur.... an old PC diehard who's been scoffing at Apple since '84 out of a false sense of geeky superiority because I wrote a couple of BASIC programs in high school and knew some DOS. Big woop. Now I flash roms and mod so that I can have some extra functionality and configure things how I like. IPhone users must have a lot more free time. lol

At least you admit your iHatred is meritless :p

Me, I just love cool tech. I have 2 Android phones (N5 and Moto X) and an iPhone 5s... For tablets I have an iPad Mini Retina, a Nexus 7 2013, a Surface Pro, and a Dell Venue 8 Pro (a $300 x86 based 8" Win8 tablet. Dollar for dollar, probably the coolest piece of tech I have). I also have a couple Windows laptops and my beloved Macbook Pro. I have no alliances to any manufacturer or OS/ecosystem- if it's cool and I want it, I'll buy it. The one thing I don't have and I want badly is a nice WP8 phone. The Lumia Icon is really slick but it's only available on Verizon. I'm waiting for AT&T to get something similar and when they do, I'll be snatching it up real quick.

[LG Optimus L90] linasj:
I'd firstly ask IF it will receive the update, and only maybe then when will that happen. Either way, there's basically no info regarding our device, at least no info that I know of. Strangely enough, LG G3 updates will start rolling out this week in Europe (or Poland at least). Interesting to see that, because I don't think any company would risk it to 'test' their major updates this way...

my phone is stuck in boot loop CM 11

I have the LG L90 D415 and when I flashed an update through a CM Updater (which was broken and I didn't know this until after the flash) I got stuck in a CM boot loop. Volume Down+Power is not taking me to recovery. What do I do?
[LG Optimus L90] ardentis:
I think that there needs to be some editions to this thread, especially for the bootstacks since I see at least 5 people a week on the forums asking about issues related to the bootstacks and things have changed since the KitKat days. If it is possible, we should include update data. I'm sorry if this seems like a bunch [MENTION=4501943]shinobisoft[/MENTION] but I think it is necessary
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
I'll have to do some research on the bootstacks. I never upgraded to CM12 so I never went thru the bootstack issues. I also am no longer using my L90 as I had to change carriers but I still own the device. Work has picked up so much for me that I don't even have the time to answer questions here let alone build any ROMs.

1- when I remove the battery and plug it in, a sign emergeny yellow seems to mean putting the battery.

2- when I connect my phone to the PC, while holding Volume Up + power, " Mycomputer " removable disk appears that contains two folders:

1 - image

2 - VERINFO

the first folder contains 76 files with some strange formats

the second folder ( VERINFO ) contains a text file that has this text itself :

Hey guys,

I was trying to start cwm boatloader on my LG l90 d405n with my computer but when I was trying to do that my device got bricked :(.

I searched on the internet and then I founded that it only worked on android kitkat and not on android lollipop.

Can please somebody help me how I can unbrick my device with a link to a guide or something?

Thanks for helping!

PS sorry for my bad English.

If you still can put the device in download mode then you can restore the stock firmware using LG Flash tool. Just make sure you get the correct firmware for your model.

If you cannot put the phone in download mode then probably it's a hard brick.

You can find posts about both in the forum, they are very visible by the way.

Hello, a few months ago I got an update to my LG Optimus L90, but it ran into an error and is now stuck in recovery mode. I've tried the basics- rebooting, hard reset, etc to not avail. Now I don't know much past the basics and I haven't been able to find much help, so here I am. I've looked around, and from what I've gathered I think I need to flash a rom... However I don't know how to, and I don't have a computer. But I do have a MicroSD and another phone, and there is an option that says "Apply update from SD card", which I assume would allow me to flash a rom from SD card. All I want is the phone running with stock Lollipop again. If this is possible please leave me a link for the files I need and instructions on what to do. Please be as specific as possible.

It won't let me post to the main forum, so I'm hoping I'll be seen here

[MENTION=4501943]shinobisoft[/MENTION] hi!!!

I was see that you are one of the contributor for TWRP for L90 do you know if ours recovery will be update it automatically in TWRP page or must be build from the contributors?

Sorry for the question I'm asking because I'm making themes for recovery and its useful for me to test it in update it recovery
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Shoxxy labeled me as a contributor because I helped him get a few things straight when he started building recoveries for the L90. I've since had 3 different phones. I'm currently not developing for any devices. So in short, I have no idea if TWRP will be updated. Sorry I can't give you the answer you're looking for.

So far my phone hasn't dropped to 3g yet. I think I like this
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] tkoreaper:
I do a lot of traveling for work and I used to be a Sprint subscriber as well. I will say that while T-Mobile's speeds are definitely better, Sprint has a better overall network IMO. I often find myself either struggling to find T-Mobile signal, Roaming on AT&T (If it even lets me), or I'm forced to deal with horrible 2G speeds (GPRS). Outside of major cities the majority of the coverage areas are 2G whereas on Sprint it is mostly 3G because if you had to roam you were on Verizon. If you thought Sprint's 3G was slow, wait until you experience T-Mobile's 2G lol.

If you generally reside in or around the larger cities then you have nothing to worry about. My experience is based on what I see everywhere I go... and I go to some pretty remote places and lots of smaller towns. Also, keep in mind that my experience with Sprint was before they implemented Spark and HD Voice, but being as a resident of San Antonio I did get to experience most of what their "Network Vision" had to offer.

As a matter of fact, the images in my signature were from when I was using Sprint. It was shortly after they first implemented LTE... And I lived approximately 45 miles outside of the city in the country. Those were some damn good speeds for being so far out, but I only lived about 1 mile from the tower lol. I only get 2G with T-Mobile out there and the 3G cuts off about 5 miles shy of that town. BUT, before switching to T-Mobile the Sprint speeds in that area had gone way down as more and more people got LTE phones. Last I checked, it was down to 7Mb/s Down and 2Mb/s Up.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] tommason1968:
Where I live north of San Francisco sprint had some areas of decent 4g but not at my house or at work. It also seems like the battery in my t mobile m8 lasts much longer. Maybe having a strong signal helps
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] tkoreaper:

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] wase4711:
former sprint customer, totally thrilled with T Mobile in the Chicago area...Even though Chicago was one of the first places with Sprint's "new" network, we left them 6 months ago when my wife and son couldn't even make phone calls from our house with their M7 phones; ever since we went TMO, we've never dropped a call anywhere in Chicagoland, data speeds are great, and their customer service has been fantastic for us.

towards the end of having sprint, we definitely noticed a change in how they treated customers, obviously a new way of doing things brought over by their new owners...much less likely to issue credits for problems, and even had the nerve to charge us TAX on our cancellation fees!!

Sorry Sprint, NEVER again, and if you merge with TMO, we will leave for another option.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] AUSTIN3:16:
Are you in La Vernia? If so T-Mobile will finally be upgrading the 2G to LTE in the next few months! I'm in San ANtonio too and hate that there is no LTE or 4G down 87 all the way until you hit Victoria.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] mkhopper:
I was with Sprint for about 12 years and just finally got fed up waiting for them to figure out how to get 4G rolled out properly, so I switched to TM when I purchased the M8 a few months ago.

Now that I'm on TM, I kick myself for not switching over sooner. With unlimited everything and the fact that 4G is so fast in my area, I don't even bother with switching on wifi. (I rarely stream video to the phone, so no real need for wifi)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] serv380:
I'm here in beaver creek and I'm literally just outside of the coverage area, I get lte but 5mbs down and about 4 up. But out and about I'm finally getting up to about 26mbs down.

I was with Sprint for over 10 years, then about a year and a half ago i switched to T-Mobile. Im so glad i did. I live in a major metropolitan area so coverage is always good for me.

As others have mentioned living in suburbs or travelling might get you some dead spots. So try the network out and then make a final decision.

T-Mobiles network runs circles around Sprints! I was with sprint for the last 7 or 8 years and was tired of the "We are working on the towers in your area" excuse. I switched to T-Mobile back in February and got the Z1s and I plan on getting the M8 this week with the jump program. I had the M7 with sprint which was a great phone despite sprint's crappy network. I can't wait to be back with a htc phone!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] wase4711:
almost the same exact story from me; as far as leaving Sorint in February because of the horrible network issues.

did you get on tmo for the old jump, before feb 23rd?

I did, and have had a lg flex,(actually 3 of them), and I too can't wait to be back on a HTC phone, for a variety of reasons..
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Lancerz:
Yeah I got on around February 6th, what did they change after that?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] wase4711:
the "new" jump, for those that signed up after Feb 23rd, requires you to pay 1/2 of the outstanding balance on your "old" phone, before you can "jump" to a new one. You can do that as often as you want, but it will cost you 1/2 of the outstanding balance on your phone.

the "old" jump, that you and I are on, doesn't have that requirement; we can jump once after 6 months at no charge, and then jump a second time anytime within our first year at no extra charge as well..

I'm getting an M8 next week for my first jump, and then I will wait and see what comes out in the next few months and see; note 4, Sony Z3, htc one max M8, who knows what is coming between now and December..
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Lancerz:

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] SammyTRK:
Thats the same thing I did. So far it's much better. I almost always have an lte connection outside. My best lte speed on Sprint was around 16Mbps and that was rare. Now I get anywhere from 25Mbps and up anywhere I go. The fastest so far was just under 70Mbps.

With Sprint I was constantly losing data connection going down the road, now I rarely loose connection.

I switched from Sprint about 6 months ago and I am glad; the data connection are horrible in Southern Cali. Now I get 4G LTE everywhere I go except for outside the city, which is fine because I spend majority of my day in the city. This was the best decision I made since switching from a WinMo Pocket PC to Android. Plus the nice thing about T-Mobile is I can swap out SIM cards and use a different device without calling my carrier to activate it for me.

Should've Switched Sooner

Jumped from Sprint to T-Mobile last Thursday. All I have to say is so far so good. Living in Southern California I used to get decent 4G speeds on my Galaxy SIII. Then, in the past 8-9 months, they've been horrid. T-Mobile's 4G network has been fantastic. I realize that going through canyon roads that this is less likely but for the most part, the service has been quite good. 21MB down, 19MB up from my area.

In regards to jump from Samsung to HTC, I couldn't be happier. I had the HTC Hero, then the EVO and jumped over to the S3 a little less than 2 years ago. I ended up rooting the S3 to get the most performance from it. Talk about night and day difference going to the M8. This phone is absolutely fantastic. I had the phone off the charger from 7:30AM to 1:00AM the next morning and still had about 40% left on the battery. And that's after checking email, FFB, streaming music, photos, videos and generally just messing around with it since it's so great to use. On the S3 I could barely get from 7:30AM to 10:30PM before I was down to 5%.

No plans to root this device as Sense 6 is fast and unobtrusive. With T-Mobile ultimately paying the ETF, I should've made the jump months ago.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Rydah:
Thanks. Looks like I'll be switching my Sprint phone from my M8 to an old backup phone, ZTE Fury. lol They'll only give mee $2 for it but I don't care for the trade in value, I just want them to pay off my ETF and I'll buy a new phone. I'll sell my Sprint M8 on my own, they only offered me $166.00, I'll make more on my own...

I'm hoping to do the same today! I just got paid, so I'm ready to do this finally! lol
