[AT&T LG G3] Pilz:
I like bigger phones, nothing against moto but the screen kills it for me and the camera. I always use my camera and I enjoy s good screen for when I need to read my textbooks for school on the go. The 4.7 in 720p hurts my eyes to read text on to be honest. I love my G3 its the best phone in my opinion because it has a big screen and smaller profile which I need because my hand kills me after doing math all day everyday. I needed something smaller than the Note 3 but with a big screen and I took a chance with the G3 and I havent looked back. I dropped my original G3 F400S off my balcony and it broke so I got the D850 not knowing it lacked qi. I decided after researching for a while that PMA wasn't worth it so I figured I should get another Korean one because its about as much as the t mobile one but you get an extra battery, charger and headphones so I bought the F460S. I'll post a full comparison if you like before I sell my D850. I really enjoy the G3 and it's back buttons, if it were water proof and had a SAMOLED it would be perfect but it's the best phone out there and I'd much rather have it than the new note.(I don't like physical home buttons.) I may get a Nexus 6 as a backup phone if it ever comes it because I'm a phone junkie. The Nexus is supposed to be a Motorola so that doesn't bother me because if it's 6in with 2k I'm sold.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
I also enjoy bigger phones that's why I sold my moto x the biggest reason was I wanted a bigger screen again. So as of now I'm keeping my G3 but I will keep an eye on the X+1 nexus 6 etc and then decide
[AT&T LG G3] dxwilliams40:
My wife loves her moto x but I sold mine. The always listening feature was buggy and triggered each time I said ok. That was it's biggest selling point. The phone also ran hot. I am intrigued by the new X + 1. It appears to have hit the sweet spot that the old version missed.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
Never had any if those issues with mine but I agree on the sweet spot of the X1
[AT&T LG G3] jdsemler:
If your G3 is running slow, switch to ART. Mine felt sluggish in the beginning, but it has been peppy ever since the switch.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
I have been running art since day one. Will say this I stopped using the quick circle case and reset the phone and so far it's been good for a few days
[AT&T LG G3] karlkarloff:
Just made the switch from a Note 2 and I am totally happy with the G3. No bugs, no lag, no freezes or anything. Battery life is way better than the N2 as well. At least so far. Its also louder, which helps my poor punk rock deafened ears. I was sold on Samsung for a long time, but this phone has me thinking I will stick with LG for a while.
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
Lol. Moto X. Here's a few words, I'll let you figure out the rest.

Screen

Battery

Camera

Processor

Ir blaster

Speaker

Removable Battery

MicroSD

Laser focus
[AT&T LG G3] :
I just got the g3 this past Saturday coming from a note 3. My wife had a upgrade and she was kind enough to let me get this phone if I gave her my Note. I think I made the right decision because so far I haven't had any issues with this phone. It was extremely easy to root and the battery is excellent. This is a minor complaint but I'll get over it, I can't stand the yellow color of the messaging app. That's my only problem with it so I think I'll live. This is a good phone and I'm glad I got it.
[AT&T LG G3] GorillaPimp:
Get the G3 Tweakbox app. You can change the color of the app with it. Just install Xposed framework and its a $1.99 in app purchase to unlock all the features. Worth it to ditch that vomit yellow. Lots of cool other tweaks like enabling the weather feature on the lockscreen and adding apps to the ring.
[AT&T LG G3] :
Thanks for confirming this for me. I had downloaded it yesterday and installed it with xposed but didn't know if I could change the color of it or not. I'll have to reinstall it and pay the $2. That will make a world of difference.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
That's overly simplistic and spec whorish shows you've never used a moto x
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
I have, multiple times. The processor was weak, as well as camera, screen and battery life. It was and still is mediocre. There's a reason why it dropped so hard in price and you can get one now for less that $200 on swappa.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
That's bs and goes against everyone whose actually had the phone and or reviewed the phone. The only weak spot is the camera and that was much better with software updates. You're statement is completely against every person who actually used the phone. Battery was great screen even though 720p was just as good as 1080p screens and most reviews or people couldn't tell the difference. The processor held not only it's own but the phone is smoother and faster than most high end phones per users and reviews. So please stop spewing hate
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
Meh, I noticed what I noticed. When Yahoo weather drops frames on the moto x but not on a touchwiz filed s4, it's not cut out to be high end. If people are noticing 1440 over 1080 then they are definitely seeing the difference in 720. Go back to the moto x, you already made up your mind on it. I remember having this same argument with you about the nexus 4. If your so adamant just go back.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
I'm not going back to the X I'm keeping this for now but people who just spout trash just to prop up their stuff is lame and I'm gonna call it out
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
You are absolutely diluted. My opinion on the moto x had nothing to do with my interest in the g3. Pick any phone and I'll do the same comparison for you sonny.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
I'm not diluted I've been a member here for along time and lately it's always a passing match when someone says something against the phone they have. Its like you fools think if these phones as your kids
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
As have I. Our length of membership here is such a childish thing to bring up. I do not like the moto x.... I expressed my disinterested in it on this public forum. Your hemorrhoids got inflamed over it. End of story. The G3 is not my only phone either.

Oh, and btw. I've been a member here longer than you. Just since you want to play that immaturity card.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
I guess your English comprehension is minimal. I brought up my length here to accentuate the change from when I joined till now
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
Then u completely missed the part where I insinuated that I don't care what phone I have, the moto x TO ME was unimpressive.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
You never said anything remotely close to that. Its ok though it doesn't matter
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
I'm out. New moto X is perfect my phone is up for sale and it's been nice! Enjoy your phones guys
[AT&T LG G3] SilkyJohnson:
The Moto X is a 1000 times smoother than the G3 out of the box, without question.

Based on your replies it seems apparent you've never used one.

G3 = straight lagfest.
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
I've owned a few of them. Try yahoo weather and watch it drop frames like drones drop bombs. Back then, my s4 ran that flawlessly while the moto stumbled. Its awful and the new one is already getting bad press on its terrible battery. (Droid life reporting less than 2hrs screen time in a 14hr day with 17% left). Battery life was also terrible on last years and my g3 would get better sot stock for stock (even with ok google turned off ). I really didn't want to reply, because I'm sure I'll get the troll happy fanboy responses from others but oh well, its the weekend.
[AT&T LG G3] SilkyJohnson:
Ok, so Yahoo weather on the X?

Ok, so for the G3 test - swipe once left or right on the home screens. There you go - pathetic.

Trust me, I wanted to like it. Went and tested it again yesterday. No 2014 phone should perform that bad out of the box.

I respect your opinion and I know we'll never agree. Happy weekend, my man.
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
The g3 honestly wasn't that bad for me, try another launcher. I don't have my g3 either, but that's because the battery is awful and the $200 premium over my OnePlus isn't worth it. Thanks for being civil with me, I've already had enough of this thread with the previous guy.
[AT&T LG G3] SilkyJohnson:
I'm all about debating and keeping it civil, so no problem.

I have interest in the 1+1, but will probably get a new Moto X. Haven't owned a Sammy since the Note 2, but I'm definitely impressed with the 4. Moto X has the speakers I miss from my M8, plus I've always loved Motos. Owned quite a few of them.
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
I would have strongly considered a moto x 2014 should it have come with a large battery. Most flagships now are coming with 3000mah batteries and last many hours of screen on time. My z2 and OnePlus always hit near 7 if not more in a whole day. 2300 is was the HTC m7 came with, and I just cant do it. Shame Verizon has that strong hold on the droid maxx.
[AT&T LG G3] SilkyJohnson:
Wait for the Nexus X (6). I'm waiting for that to be announced before I make my decision. Bet it has a beastly battery.
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
oh btw, android central did a review, the new moto x has ONE front facing speaker, the other is just an earpiece :-/
[AT&T LG G3] SilkyJohnson:
Weak! I still like it though ☺
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
I don't take the battery size as an indicator of life. Its about optimization and honestly the OG moto X lasted forever
[AT&T LG G3] JayWheelz:
Andrea I'm coming into your thread late. But I agree with you 100% on your points that you've made. Currently I'm coming from my HTC One M8 which worked perfectly all the time. I jumped on the G3 wagon when I played around with it at the ATT store. I've had weird lag issues with the keyboard and scrolling on occasion. I had the Moto X and it was definitely one of my fav phones. Between the M8 and X I never had any issues with anything. I think the one thing that will hopefully fix the G3 is an unlocked bootloader when it's available.

It's a very nice phone but the lags do hurt the joy of using it for me.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
Thank you and that's all I'm saying its a nice phone but for all the specs it shouldn't have the issues that it does and for the supposedly under specd moto x didn't have any
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/11/moto-x-review-2014/

Great review plus 10+ hours of battery time in their test ...
[AT&T LG G3] JayWheelz:
The best I got when I had my Moto x was about 18 hours with regular usage. My G3 I got 35 + hours with regular use. But that has decreased over the last week down to about 27.
[AT&T LG G3] jtc276:
I would jump ship, but I can't think of a better option right now. I traditionally have two phones. One that runs stock Android for mostly experimental purposes (Nexus or Moto) and one that doesn't but has meatier specs and more storage (HTC, Samsung, LG). HTC is my preferred OEM, but I just couldn't deal with the camera this year. I was at a concert and the pictures I snapped were awful compared to my friend's two-year-old iPhone 5. Then I tried the S5 which I just hated. And now I'm to the G3. I love the hardware and I love the form factor...but the software needs some work. If this phone had Cyanogen, it would be the best phone out there for ROMmers. I'm patiently waiting for a bootloader unlock (I don't know why I bought the AT&T version over T-Mobile), but I'd be lying if I said my patience wasn't growing thin. I've thought about Sony for a long time now. Maybe it's time to seriously consider.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
That's what it is with me its the frustration of this phone with these specs having these issues
[AT&T LG G3] JayWheelz:
The 2014 Moto X is on my radar for my next device.
[AT&T LG G3] jtc276:
It's another example of a near perfect phone that would be perfect if it had expandable storage or a 64gb option.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
64 will come in a few months so if you can hang out
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
Yes definitely
[AT&T LG G3] Jammin72:
The Moto X is quite enticing but I'm willing to wait to see what the Nexus X is all about. Still keeping my fingers crossed on the bootloader here. Found a couple of camera apps that fixed my only real complaint with the G3... overexposed pictures. Now I'm pretty much set and it only gets better if we can get some custom ROMs.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
The boot loader situation here is dire and that's one of the main reasons I'm out. The nexus is gonna be a slightly better motoX without motos cool features so that's a no go for me.
[AT&T LG G3] GorillaPimp:
What is the status with that anyway? I noticed the AT&T dev forums are dead.

I'm ok now I guess but if my wife's iPhone 6 is nice I may try one. If I was using ROMs a lot I'd be gone already.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
Yea I think its dead in the water. I'm going between iPhone 6 and moto x
[AT&T LG G3] Kameirus:
Maybe y'all should read a little more ...there are a couple devs working on it and one of those devs is on a 2 week family vacation

sent from my LG G3 D850
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
Even if that's accurate. This phones issues will probably not be solved anytime soon
[AT&T LG G3] Kameirus:
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that don't have any issues y'all have..my d850 has a lot of modded system apps and data apps and no lag at all... And yes because of not having a working recovery yet I've had to lg flash tool back to stock a few times cause I've messed something up ...but that's part of the learning curve for this phone.

And titanium and ROM toolbox have been really helpful in backing up my modded apps.

In fact I haven't touched my g2 since I got this phone and actually put the g2 up for sale yesterday so I can buy or trade for a T-Mobile g3..

sent from my LG G3 D850
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
To me the issue is just getting a phone that works and the only android phone I had that did that almost flawless was the X but it even had a weakness in the camera. It seems all the movement forward android does there is always something missing with one set. The G3 awesome screen, great battery and really good camera but its laggy and stutters
[AT&T LG G3] rodger-sp:
I am thinking about leaving for the New Moto X or the Note 4. Whichever phone I get it will not be a Att phone. I will never buy another Att android phone ever. I should be allowed to modify my property.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
Agreed 100%
[AT&T LG G3] 4ndroid99:
Tbh my only complain about this phone is the quad hd display. It's unimaginable to think a phone with a Snapdragon 801 along with 3gb of ram can have lag problems. The 801 is being pushed to its edge with this many pixels. The quad hd display generates unnecessary heat and strains the battery life. It's difficult to distinguish between 1080p and 1440p without getting very up close.

This phone would've been perfect had LG gone with a 1080p display. The performance and battery life could've been that much better. The extra pixels felt unnecessary and ended up reducing the display quality.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
Its possible that the display is the culprit
[AT&T LG G3] jtc276:
I think the lag just has to do not with the awful, bloated software. Sure, it's more visually appealing than TouchWiz, but it's just as bloated. I think if the bootloader could get unlocked eventually and Cyanogen support would arrive, this phone would perform like the beast it should be. That being said, my G3 is currently sitting in a drawer and my Nexus 5 is replacing it as my daily driver. I just couldn't handle that terrible, janky software anymore.
[AT&T LG G3] GorillaPimp:
A couple of devs. Not good. I also read its a paid unlock or ransom/donation fund to unlock it. I also see development for every other flavor except AT&T which still hasn't been explained to me. I did read something about fear of AT&T updates fixing any bootloader hacks but it wasn't in the relevant threads and wasnt devs talking.

________

I'm one of the folks with no lags, no headphone probs and no bluetooth issues. The heat issue I experience when gaming for hours but hasn't had an impact I can see. I wonder about it longterm but I have insurance if it dies. This is the first phone in a long time maybe since I started using Android (4 years) where I am not using a 3rd party launcher. My phone is great knock on wood. My GS5 was ok until I couldn't use it in my car anymore. Can't get the Note 4 because of that too. I finally fired up Greenify to kill the Amazon apps constantly running and keeping traffic running nonstop in the background. If that makes battery life sweeter then I can't ask for more.

I can understand why anyone with those major issues wants to leave. Most phones have some problems. No micro-sd port, some hardware flaw. I think most G3 problems are hardware manufacturing related and can be resolved with a different unit except that AT&T wireless charging bs.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
my sentiments exactly as soon as my G3 sells I'm out
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
agreed here as well its like a ghost town in here
[AT&T LG G3] mosincredible:
I'm curious of the ghost town factor as well. However, it could be that most who have the phone are doing fine and have absolutely nothing they want to do to it until the bootloader is unlocked. I happen to be one of those people at least. I check every once in a while to see what's going on with the bootloader then I'm back to whatever else I was doing.

I run into occasional slowdown here and there but it's either on an extremely heavy webpage or I have a million things going at once since I treat my phone like my PC. I'll easily have 10+ tabs open on my phone and still have some other stuff going on.
[AT&T LG G3] GorillaPimp:
Most of the time I've seen that it's a device that's been out for years and everyone has moved on. When it's a month or two after release and nobody's around in the dev section you know what time it is. If you need anything but root out of the community you probably don't want to buy an AT&T G3. I just want to know what spooked everyone or is AT&T suddenly really unpopular. I know that stupid qi alternative they're using is bull**** but other than that I don't get it. It had less bloat than my Sprint phones.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

Yeah i'm wondering if there's a hidden werewolf in my phone or something

I know a lot of people have headphone, bluetooth and wireless charging issues. I know a lot of AT&T techs have the G3 too. It may be that people are gearing up to switch to the Note4 or iPhone 6. Both the Note3/Samsung and iPhone have huge fan-bases. The general G3 forums are/were really busy last time I was there.

Anyone know why all the AT&T dev forums threads were wiped out?
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
Its weird but that's why I'm ordering a pure edition moto X tomorrow. No more carrier bs
[AT&T LG G3] SysAdmNj:
I don't think we are missing out on an abundance of roms. Personally a no bloat one would be enough for me. I'm so used to the knock on knock off, and the led notifications that I would not just be able to just go to another device. For those complaining of heat, maybe the cpu is running hot. I tried using trickster app today to set the cpu frequency and governors and that seemed to help a bit. I'll see if it helps with battery life as well even though its pretty good thus far.

With all that being said, I'm curious about the nexus 6. I would try it but I still wouldn't get rid of the my G3.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
i'm ordering a pure edition moto X tomorrow basically a Nexus with moto's added features.
[AT&T LG G3] SysAdmNj:
Isnt the nexus 6 coming with an snapdragon 805 and this moto x has a snapdragon 801?

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6604&idPhone2=6649

I'm not sure but the nexus 6 might be a better device? Also is the pure edition lte enabled for at&t sims?
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
Pure edition is LTE for all Gsm and just because the snapdragon is a bit better generation it will not have the moto apps that are actually really great
[AT&T LG G3] jtc276:
I'm putting my G3 on Swappa today and selling my Nexus 5 after buying the new Nexus. I keep hearing reports about how average the battery life is on the new Moto X and it's scaring me away from being an early adopter even though I sort of want to be. That paired with last year's AMOLED technology and the 32gbs of storage (which I could live with but don't want to if I don't have to) is telling me to wait for the Nexus 6. Rumors point to the Nexus 6 being a Moto X with better hardware, anyway.
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
Pulled right out of that review:

CONS

Cameras are average at best and frustrating at worstUnremarkable battery life compared to rivalsSome carrier bloatware
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
Yes I couldn't do it. Was gonna but it today but couldn't pull the trigger. Don't know what I'm getting but I don't think its the x
[AT&T LG G3] gharris040604:
I just pulled my g3 back out the draw been using a one plus for the last week, got my hands on one with no issues and let me tell that phone is a freaking monster no lag what so ever and the camera wasn't bad either. I would take that over a nexus 5 or new moto any day...

My 2 cents
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
Just submitted the $50 promo code for the new moto x, coupled with the 14 day full refund return policy, I might give it a shot. Battery can't be any worse than my nexus 5 and $50 off makes it a more acceptable price. $610 after tax is too much originally.
[AT&T LG G3] kennypow3rs:
Hey it's rob! I think I bought a G2 on swappa while back from you lol. Any who, I just got a G3. Freaking ghost town but phone is a beast.
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
Yes it is!
[AT&T LG G3] Coldheat1906:
Hey can you PM on how you got the $50 promo code for the new moto x.

I would love to try that phone out as well
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
you need an .edu email to get the coupon
[AT&T LG G3] Coldheat1906:
ok. thanks
[AT&T LG G3] matase:
Hey Guys,

I am considering getting a LG G3 because I am tired of the bad camera and smallish screen size of my htc one m7. My htc phone is great in every aspect except the camera quality. Front facing camera elongates objects and faces, and the back camera performs really poorly in low light(takes a long time to focus and picture still come out blurry). I used to have an iPhone 5, and that thing took killer pictures, better than my htc one or my friends galaxy s4.

Anyway, is lg g3 for me? seems like there a lot of lag and over heating issues.

Also, does anyone know if the nexus x is gonna have a great camera? I would probably get the iphone 6 plus because of how well the camera performs, but I can't afford to make additional installment payments on top of my expensive phone plan.
[AT&T LG G3] Intub8:
My suggestion to you is to go to the store and see how the phone feels to use as well as comfort in your hands. Take pictures on the display models and compare the features you feel are most important. Do not let any one thread or topic sway your decision. Its about what you want and like. No one else's opinion matters. As far as the LG g3 goes it is my daily phone. I prefer it to my s5. I couldn't get over the stupid HTC logo at the bottom of the one (my personal preference) and let's face it the new iPhone 6 plus is bending out of shape in peoples pockets. Every company has it's growing pains and Apple is no exception. As far as lag and overheating I have experienced 0 of each and I play high graphic games for hours at work. I have only experienced minor home screen redraw after gaming for long periods. No big deal in my opinion, were talking about .5 to 1 second max. I believe my note 3 also had that until an update fixed it. Pay no attention to threads like this when making your choice.
