I did not know about the "official/unofficial" CWM issue.

Many people recommend Philz Recovery instead ..

can anyone point me in the right direction for the correct zip for Philz?

I found a link for Philz recovery for 4.3 ...

would that work for 4.4?

My country is not listed on the SamMobile site ..

I am off to get the phone now :) ..

I will check the PDA and CSC versions when I get the phone . .

hopefully I will find a match ..

also .. I see some of the versions are listed .. 4.2.2, 4.4.2, 4.4.4 ... etc ..

I am assuming I will need to use the correct version as well ?

...

I am in Thailand

I do not see any numbers that look like the PDA/CSC codes on the SamMobile site ..

My phone says ..

Build Number KOT49H.G7102XWUBNH1

On the CF root files I see different versions NH1, NG4, NH6 ...

do these matter ? .. or can I use any of them?

Thanks

Hi there,

I have LG e973, originally from Bell. I unlocked it and all. Skype works wonderfully on the default Bell Android, but it's so hard to do anything with it, it drives me to mod it with Cyanogenmod. I only managed to install Cyanogenmod 11.

I been trying to install Cyanogenmod 10.2 (Jelly Bean), as I'm sick and tired not able to use Skype on Cyanogenmod 11 (video call and mic doesn't even work, it just crashed on loading). I read that a lot of users switch back to 10.2 because Skype works.

https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=e973&type=stable

So far, everytime I tried to install it, it prompt me a bunch of errors that I'm unable to install it via CWM-Recovery 6.0.4.6 (rooted, use FreeGee). It did work for Cyanogenmod 11, but nothing else.

Did I do something wrong?

Hi there,

Thanks. I'll try that, but I'm still want to try to install CM10.2 at least... I still wonder why no one came out with any fixes for Skype for CM11...

[LG Optimus G Pro] hitmantb:
With all the hype around iPhone 6+ and Galaxy Note 4, I have to say the G Pro is still holding up great!

Performance is still smooth, maybe not as blazing fast as the latest A8 but does everything perfectly.

Battery life is going down a bit, with OEM battery I am at 2-2.5 hours screen time on LTE, 3-3.5 hours screen time on pure WIFI, my only envy for wife's S5 which has twice the battery life. If I upgrade to Note 4 later this year, battery life would be the only reason. Or maybe I will just bite the bullet, take the bulk and get the Zerolemon 9300 . . .
[LG Optimus G Pro] vivebatu:
Holding up very well indeed.. I have largely remained on stock, very happy with the performance.. Battery life I get 5.5 hrs on WiFi only, 4.5 hrs types on mix of 3g and WiFi.. Not bad, I'm sure s5 or note 4 are not very far ahead
[LG Optimus G Pro] t3chwizard:
With a deep sleeping kernel I'm doing pretty well. My device is still in mint condition and I plan on keeping it that way.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Snepsts:
Greenifying always helps battery, especially if you are root and have xposed. Turning off sync helps too. Using BetterBatteryStats and having a wakelock blocker is a lifesafer as well.

I run CM ROMs (Beanstalk,CM Nightly, PAC, etc.), I get anywhere between 3-5 hours of screen-on time depending on how I use my phone. It's not too bad of a battery. But I'm sure there will be better ways to save on the way.

If you have root you can always underclock, switch governors, and turn on some CPU multicore power saving in trickster.

These are all, of course, if you haven't done these already :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] MitoTakatori:
Hi. My phone is still as strong as a beast. Battery life with CM/AOSP based ROMs is really not as good as stock, but can compensate. My G PRO is still holding up as it should, but of course who wouldn't want an upgraded device like G3? And with LG's software update setback, I guess my next device would be an Xperia Z3 or Z2.
[LG Optimus G Pro] t3chwizard:
After a full day with moderate use and medium processor heavy game playing for maybe an hour total along with only having one core of my processor enabled I am still at 33% battery. I use greenify and have a couple wakelock blocks set along with using common sense like turning off WiFi when I'm not using it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] vivebatu:
What are you using to block wake locks? I have used xposed plus both wake lock terminator and nlpunbounce but they are a hit and miss..for me the biggest headache has been the msm_hsic_host wake lock, for which there seems to be no block possible
[LG Optimus G Pro] t3chwizard:
I'm running the Beanstalk 4.4.4065 ROM which has a built in wakelock blocker
[LG Optimus G Pro] spiderx_mm:
I have been using CM11 nightlies for quite long. and the battery last only up to 12 hrs. I was so fed up and even thought of getting a new phone.

and in the mean time, downloading and flashing kdz files also never successful. i went to LG service center in SG to restore it to stock image, they refused me. I was nearly at the point of throwing away my 18 months old phone.

then, I wanted to give it a last chance, I installed the LG Mobile support tool on another laptop (which runs 32bits windows 8.1) and give it a try.

voila, it goes through, and i got the latest stock firmware for my region (E98820b-SEA-XX). Battery life???? with the same usage that can only last 10 hours on CM, i got 23 hrs with the stock firmware. For the sake of my ego, i rooted it with TowelRoot (thanks to our xda member geohot).

then I was curious to see how my phone is compared to the iPhone 6+ on paper, i do some comparison. then to my surprise, i found out that Apple uses the same LCD (5.5" 1080x1920 IPS LCD) and same photo sensor (1/3" BSI sensor).

and on top of that, my G Pro got IR blaster, Wireless charging, NFC tagging, replaceable battery, which iPhone still doesn't have. Surely, I'll keep my phone for another year, (and will keep saying these iSheeps that my 2 yrs old phone is better than their iCheap 6+)
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
LG G Pro OS great but yeah ever since I had a Z1 and Z2 I wanna go Sony again. There is just something about those phones that is magic. I love Xperia Z devices.
[LG Optimus G Pro] marvin02:
I just started using the LG G Pro again today. I really like this phone and it has held up very well.

I loaned my Moto X to my daughter so she can try an Android phone.

My wife has upgraded to an LG G3.

I had the original Optimus G and the G Pro just fells like a bigger version of the G.

Right now we have 3 LG phones and two LG tablets.
[LG Optimus G Pro] arsenala:
6 months after I bought it the phone is much, much slower and also I'll be buying a new battery
[LG Optimus G Pro] t3chwizard:
You make it seem like this phone is horrible. Compared to all the other phones I have had it is the best one.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Emmanuel2000:
I bought my E980 almost 2 years ago. it works like the first day i bought it no screen burn no button functionality issues no broken screen and speedy as always.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Vircos:
I have got this phone for 3 months now. Two weeks ago the touch buttons did not work anymore. Used softkey navigation as a workarround. Today the bottom of the screen stopped responding on any touch. Byebye softkey navigation. I will have to send it to the LG-repair centre

A shame, I really love this device but this is a setback.
[LG Optimus G Pro] KennyWRX:
Battery life has suffered since the update to 4.4.2. Speed wise, I feel like it has slowed down some, not sure if its related to the 4.4.2 update or just the aging file system. More recently, I was taking a video, and the image started stuttering to the point that the camera app crashed. The video file preview was black and the file un-playable. Not sure what exactly happened. Even then, OGP has been the best Android phone I have owned.
[LG Optimus G Pro] zamajalo:
Mine will be one year old in few days.

The day I bought it, I had to choose between OGPro, Xperia Z and Note 2 - my goal was to buy great phone I wouldn't change for at least two years for under 450€... so it seems to me that I made some good choices in my life :) I've god E988 version (only one I found here, GPro was never officialy sold here) and I love it.

Today, phone is rooted, with CWM recovery, had few rom swaps (currently on Beanstalk), some scratches on the back panel but everything else is as new. Battery life is excellent, WiFi/mobile and bluetooth are constantnly on and it gets about 4-6 hours of screen time (with auto backlight on), and I remember getting around 38-40h of battery life without problems. With stock Jellybean it was even better, but then, I had no sync and some other services.

Only problem I had with this device (and still have sometimes) is damn audio skipping. Nothing (except maybe blocking AudioMix with wakelock blocker, still testing that) helps.
[LG Optimus G Pro] t3chwizard:
I chose between G2 and this, but I chose this because of the external SD capability and the removable battery and larger screen. It's fast enough for my liking.
[LG Optimus G Pro] demandarin:
still holding up well

Im still loving my gpro. Ive been using the zero lemon for the longest time. Never any worries on battery life. Tradeoff is phone is thicker with battery. So last night i decided to rock the original battery and case. Man i forgot how slim n sexy this phone really is. This phone imo can easily hold its own against new big screen iphone.

Im having that infamous wakelock burn up battery also. I will use original battery for a while and see. But i have a feeling ill be putting back in the zero lemon. Even with wakelocks, that battery is hard to kill.
[LG Optimus G Pro] bountyman334:
mines holding up great but my screen is cracked up...
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimuswhite:
Happens to me also

Screen cracks in the corner after dropped it screen side *ouch*

But overall my G Pro is still dependable for running the latest trending app.
[LG Optimus G Pro] xartic12:
Broke a screen after a year of no case (was using it as a flash light and dropped it on concrete). Replaced the digitizer for $20 and still swap my battery out every 1-2 days depending on use. Always like having that replaceable battery.

I was using a 4.1.2 debloated rom that I could get 2-3 days of battery, switched to cm 10.2 and could barely get over a day. Sad to say, it's impossible to get that 4.1.2 debloated rom back on so I resorted to going back to stock with root. Still love this phone and the features rival that of said new phones. Hopefully they make a LG G pro 3 with the same sd card and replaceable battery features.
[LG Optimus G Pro] channeledbymodem:
Where did you buy a digitizer for $20? Did you replace it yourself?
[LG Optimus G Pro] xartic12:
eBay. Had no issues replacing it but with the adhesive they included which wasn't thick enough on the sides so it ripped multiple times. Been holding up great ever since I replaced it myself.
[LG Optimus G Pro] RaiderDuck:
A year and 1/2 in and I've had a great experience with this phone. Not sure what my next phone will be (Galaxy Note 4, maybe), but I'm definitely sticking with the 5.5-inch screen. It's great for reading Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and whatever else.
[LG Optimus G Pro] bountyman334:
yea that kinda why i havent gotten new yet ....i want the g2 ..but only if i get the korean 1(am in georgia) becuz of the sd slot
[LG Optimus G Pro] viewtifuljoe71:
What 4.1.2 rom were you using? Is it still on xda?
[LG Optimus G Pro] creed3:
Still great

I've had mine for a year now and it's as good as the day I got it. I rooted it about a month after I got it, then un-rooted later. Rooting was more a curiosity than anything else, just wanted to see if I could. Battery still gives me days between charges, expecially when most of the time is on wifi and not LTE. Love the screen, it's nice and bright and sharp. I use this device as an eReader so the screen is important. Over-all - well made, and no regrets.
[LG Optimus G Pro] paulinri:
Had this phone for almost a year. New phones keep coming but i see no reason to change my ogp yet. Very satisfied woth this phone. Fast and responsive. Hopefully it will still be upgraded to android lollipop.

Loving mine since the day I bought it. I bought it with the 18 month next deal from AT&T so I still have it for a while. Not complaining though, since I am capable of keeping it updated with ROMs and am very satisfied with that. I just hope we can stay in the CyanogenMod game in the coming months. As long as we have their updated device/vendor/kernel repos I'm good to go until the day octacore processors are here. I'm still pretty sad that this is one of the only flagship phones to not have huge support for ROMs/kernels compared to all the other flagships out there. I will probably go Nexus in the summer if bootloaders go the way they're said to go.

[LG Optimus G Pro] marvin02:
I bought a Nexus 6 a few days ago. I got it all set up and played with it over a weekend and today I put it back to stock to return it.

I don't see enough improvement in everyday use to justify the expense. The N6 is also just too big, for me the G Pro hits the sweet spot. YMMV.

So I have tried the HTC M8, Moto X 2013, the G3 (my wife's phone) and the N6 and find the G Pro to fit my needs almost perfectly and it's still hanging in there as my daily driver.

In addition, I really don't like the UI changes Google made in Lollipop.
[LG Optimus G Pro] eocobby721:
Bought mine used but trust me it work as new. Loving da battery power and da fact that there so many custom roms :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] ixijimixi:
Mine and my wife's E980 are running well, although they both seem to have picked up their own little issues that have defied the googles. Mine seems to forget the external SD card more than it recognizes it these days. Tried a few cards, same thing happens.

With hers, no computer recognizes it as anything more than a generic Android device over USB (tried on XP, Win7, Ubuntu). I'M the one who flashes my phone all the time, and she ends up with the borked USB connection. At least I can still get stuff on her phone by wifi and the SD card, so while I may not be able to return it to stock in order to install a CM version that deep-sleeps, the LG-based ROMs seem to be doing just fine
[LG Optimus G Pro] t3chwizard:
I will eventually switch to a nexus probably next year. The E980 was my first decent smart phone, and I love every bit of it. I'm glad I chose this over the G2.
[LG Optimus G Pro] christran12:
Came back from an iPhone 6 Plus

I actually switched to an iPhone 6 Plus for that last few months. Don't get me wrong, the 6 Plus is nice and everything. It certainly better than this 1 3/4 year old phone but only in a tiny few areas. So after using it for a while I got kinda bored with IOS and decided to pull my OGP out from my drawer and start playing with it. Now that there's tons of development for it, it seems like new again! And of course I love the Android tweaking thing. Ironically, I went back to an AT&T stock (KK) ROM instead of one of the development builds like CM. There were too many little bugs and one big one that annoyed me (NFC not working on CM11 or CM12). I was able clean out the Stock ROM of crap and bloatware (and then captured it as a restores so that I can do a new install at anytime, sans that crapware and some apps that I used all the time). So using the OGP three weeks to see if I'd miss my nice new shiny 6 Plus at all. The answer was a quick "No". So I sold the iPhone 6 Plus (still have an iPhone 5 for work so it's not like I'm totally shunning IOS). I'm itching to jump on a Nexus 6 or Note 4 but I think I'm waiting for something truly new and revolutionary. This OGP has been so good to me, for the price. Selling it isn't a great option since you can't get much for it, which sucks. It never really got the credit it deserves.

Performance is decent, though certainly not comparable to contemporary phones such as the 6 Plus or the Note! But good enough so that I don't really notice any slowness.

Battery is actually better now with the new OS builds.

My only one big gripe is that there's just very few accessories for it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hawkwind212:
Was suppose to get a lg flex, but AT&T wouldn't give it to me for the price that it was advertised because they had priced it wrong. Anyway I was deciding between ogp, g2 or flex. Since I couldn't get the flex, this one had the second biggest screen display(I was suffering the big screen envy syndrome, from using a 4" device for 2 plus years), and the external sdcard. I couldn't believe with the specs looked so good on the product description, AT&T was giving the phone away for free with 2 year contract. Now I'm a healthy and confident smartphone user. Compared to all the new phones that just came out recently, my ogp held its ground just fine. Especially now I'm running the PAC ROM kk version, because I just don't trust the Lollipop to be stable just yet. Boat load of apps to keep me busy using this phone. I don't think I have even tested the limit of this phone yet. I found a brain new iPhone 6 on the ground the other day, and I have it back to the owner. It didn't even impress me, that iPhone I found, though the material s apple used to construct the phone was nice.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Snepsts:
Good to know people still appreciate this device. It was so under-appreciated for so long. Then a couple of people stepped up and development is booming again and it's like it bloomed back to life! :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] MitoTakatori:
Yeah. It's good to know that many people are still using GPRO. I really love mine. I will update to G3 though by next month, but will still keep this BEAST.
[LG Optimus G Pro] t3chwizard:
Yup
[LG Optimus G Pro] NaveenKumarXDA:
Seems nice good person. Owner would be glad. :D

Anyway. My G Pro E988 is doing great. I like LG interface too much. Only Problem LG not giving anymore Update after 4.4.2.

.

Had option to upgrade to G3 at discounted price but ignored seeing QHD low light display. G flex 2 seems good Upgrade if heating issue settles. But that too is questionable.

Even till date not a single other model meets the requirement of G pro after 2 years too. :p
[LG Optimus G Pro] zamajalo:
This 'little' device put some new standards for me, I had few offers for exchange or upgrade (mostly newer Samsungs and G3), but nothing seems to be as pleasant as this phone, especially now when I'm running custom roms and I'm totally adapted to this device. I'm really sad LG decided not to develop Pro series anymore.

Hi there,

I am having an issue and dont know if it is here that i should post this problem... I did the hard reset on my android tablet, but unfortunaly it got stuck on the formatting data loading screen... I made a lot of research and i don't know what to do with this.. I am writting here in the hope that i can get some help from you..

I will post here a link how is my tablet stuck.. ever since when i turn it on, that loading screen never passes from there..

Please, i need some help if you can.. This is happening since i tried to make a hard factory reset from the android menu pressing the volume and power key, and it never changed becase the process got stuck. When i press the touch buttons by the side, it shows activity because the lights turn on.. Thats why i think my issue with this tablet has a solution..

If you can help me with my problem i proudly say that i can give you some money for the help that you could give to me.

And theres another issue, when i connect my tablet to the pc, my windows sounds like i was connecting a device to it, but it doesn't recognize anything.
