Thanks but I probably wait for the lg g pro 2.

lol

Just got the flex. Came from Verizon G2. The screen is huge but easy to hold. The curve makes a big difference. Will know more after a few days.. but def better than the note 2.

Did you search at all? I'm thinking if you get the Flex, you'll make a thread saying I just got my brand new Flex. :laugh: These types of threads just clog up the forum.

Hey no big deal. I did it with a case thread. It happens. I'm a phone junkie. I had used the Note 2 for a year which is a long time for me. Think I went to S4 then G2 and now the Flex. The main things that sold me with the Flex is the design and battery life. It's different and I just like looking at it. lol

Quality Case

Hi.
I am looking for a high quality case for my Razr I but I cannot find any.
Do you know a brand with one?
As this is similar (if not the same) as the Razr M, is there any Razr M cases about which will do the job for you.
**note** Not really read up on excat specs of the two but from what gather there basically same apart from processor, and the Razr M has been out longer so may have more accessories
I'm looking for some myself. RAZR i has a dedicated camera button where M does not.

But it is recessed and flush with the side of the phone so RAZR M cases should also fit the i just fine so long as you don't mind the camera button being covered.

Given you're on AT&T, I'm going to assume you're stateside. The biggest issue for those of us that imported this phone is that any device specific accessories will also have to be imported, as the phone won't be released here. Ever (as per Intel).
It's unlikely we'll see any Intel toting phones in the US (officially) until the Silverton Atoms are released with LTE support.
Amazon UK seems to have some cases. As I am not a case user, and don't know exactly what you want, that's all I can suggest.
Edit: Bah, ignore me. I replied to the wrong guy...

Is it an upgrade

I ask this as a user of nexus 4 and would like to hear from ex n4 users who have bought the HTC one as it's a lot of money to fork out if it's like for like... of this is not a troll

Never used a Nexus 4 so can't compare, I did however make the jump up from the HTC One X, a very powerful handset although highly underrated by the general public...
It was a good jump up, I am astounded constantly by my One, sometimes even just picking it up to hold it in my hands, not doing anything with it, just nice to hold it

send me the money and i will otherwise its save or sell my n4 and n7,just wanted to know if its worth it
I think it's a worth while upgrade, I don't believe that you'd regret it.
It might be a good idea to wait for a little bit until the first batches are gone and you can get a 2nd batch handset.
I've got no issues really with mine, it's a decent handset and I love it harder than any phone I've ever owned.
I think the fact that you're asking this in the 'One' threads is a bit hit & miss as we're probably more biased towards getting one than not but then again we can give you an accurate idea of what the handset is like... swings & roundabouts.

Pikey is as pikey does. If you can't afford the ride you're a spectator
It's well worth an upgrade. It's a step change in design and functionality.

[Q] LG G2 [Verizon] "rooted" status

On the Verizon LG G2, there is a root status check and another in download mode if I restore to a stock image, will the status go back to unrooted for both?
I don't think that's been determined yet. Until it is I'm just doing a lot of reading and preparation
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
I am pretty sure it didn't when I went back to stock. Don't know now tho cuz I'm on another ROM.
Sent from my LG-VS980 using xda app-developers app
It goes back to unrooted, if you use lgflash. I know it will show rooted, flash the stock file, go back to download it will say unrooted. I have done it a couple times already.

I'm thinking about getting a G2 so from what I read there is root? How are the radios on it compared to Moto

I have nothing to do with Verizon, or LG. I was up for an upgrade back when all the New Moto Phones came out, but was very disappointed in them, an someone pointed me to LG G2. Just an amazing phone.

I was just kidding I appreciate your information hands on info is 100 times better than reading reviews. LG is just new at the smartphone and needs to get recognized.

It is ok, I am just really happy with how this phone works, and how quick and smooth it is. Not to mention how quickly it boots up too.
I don't normally comment just to comment but I agree I came from an S3 to a Note 2 to an S4 all Samsung obviously and by far and away this is the best phone I've used in a very long time if ever. Blazing fast great screen good build quality and I love that it isn't locked down like the S4. I just switched 2 days ago as I was tired of fighting with ROMs and not being able to use an AOSP version. My g2 is considerably faster than the S4 overall.

Lol "fighting with ROMs". I feel you bro. You won't have to worry about that on the G2. Stock ROM is awesome and so is CM.
On the Motorola Defy however... let's not go there. You're lucky to have come across the G2.
I come from a galaxy s 3 as well and i have to admit the LG G2 is a beast of a device.

It will still say rooted in your about phone section in the settings menu. Luckily there is nothing wrong with my phone. But if there was i would just buy a new phone. I have had horrible luck with Verizons replacement phones.
But as far as i have seen there is no way to fix the "rooted " message in the settings menu.

I get my jump next month

Deuces! ✌I can't believe what I've seen over here. Never again will I get an Lg. Hello m8!!!!! Oh the dude wanting to know where are all the developers are Lmao.
I've had a Jump to use for 6 months. LoL. I got a deal on the Flex so I didn't use it. Nothing out that I want right now. I just couldn't pull the trigger on a M8 because it seems to small. I'm waiting on Note 4 or even maybe a iPhone 6.

same here, although my son and wife want G3's; they don't care about root or roms, so I will get it for them..
But for me, its an M8, Z2/Z3s, or Note 4...done with LG personally..

Any idea when the note 4is coming?? That's the only one that piques my interest either
Sent from my LG-D950 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I think they said it will be announced at IFA, in early September..
I have a jump in August, that I will use to grab a M8, and I have another one to use anytime after that, so If the note4 is incredibly outstanding, I will probably grab that, but who knows what will be out in a month or 2..
Not gonna jump onto the LG Bandwagon again, maybe oppo or Sony where lots of developing happen

I haven't had a reason to root honestly. I don't have the time for it anyway. Flex is the 1st phone I haven't had to mess with it. Just like their software better than anyone else's. From their knock on/off code to the pop up SMS and phone calls, its slick.
Checking on the g3 next week in the stores and go from there. Need a smaller phone for pocketbility.

Totally agree, they put some good thought into the software. They're actually useful features on the Flex unlike other phones out there that bost about no touch or eye navigation doesn't work worth a lick.
Dont forget about the Flex's camera app, it excels past my old S4.

The G3 is not that much smaller than the flex, man...smaller yes, but not alot.
How do you know? The g2 is way smaller and the g3 isn't much bigger than the g2....I know, I have two of them. It will be way more pocketable. This thing sticks out with deep pockets.
the G3 is 5.5 inches,vs the 6 inch flex, so not sure if 1/2 is small enough to make it pocket able for you..yep, g2 would work, as would a M8, as far as easier pocketability
As big as the Flex is I don't think it's that bad. I stream music with my Flex in my shorts when I mow the grass all time. I have baller shorts though and not tight ass girly shorts. haha Not saying you have tight shorts Jesse. lol
Do you guys think developers will be able to unlock the bootloader on the G3? I know I should just wait but now you guys have me thinking on trying the M8. I thought about it before but never could pull the trigger. I think I would miss the big display of the Flex. I sold my Nexus 7 because I wasn't using it since I bought the Flex.
i think eventually the G3 will be unlocked, because so many more people will end up getting it, it wont be a "niche" phone like the flex is, but who knows how long it will take.LG isnt dev friendly, so its not like they will do anything to help the process, unlike HTC, which actually makes it super easy to unlock your phone.
I've had a few HTC Phones now, and they are definitely the most developer friendly of them all; check the M8 threads and see there are dozens of roms/kernels/tweaks..plus the M8 screen is very nice, and of course that phone has the best sound of any phone out now, so that makes it better for someone who likes music.
I'm def going for a M8 when my jump is here in a few weeks, and if the note 4 is mind boggling, or if the damn Sony phone ever comes here, I might use another jump for that, but since my wife and son will get G3's, I can always mess around with theirs if I miss LG for any reason..
The LG G2 had a lot of development before KitKat. I think KitKat was more locked down but not sure how development is for the G2 now since I stopped reading after I got my Flex.
Not sure I care all that much about the M8 speakers since I usually always wear a headset.
T-Mobile G3 comes unlocked from the factory and almost already has a recovery. Thanks for the news D-Fuse and all that your doing for the Flex. :good:
I'm not even sure how the Jump works. I'm on the original Jump. I was thinking about ordering it through T-Mobile so in case I didn't want to keep the G3 I can just return it and still have my Flex. Not sure you can do that though.
you have to turn in your existing phone, in order to "jump" to the new one...

Hi, I just ordered one of these
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/378232716/inkcase-plus-e-ink-screen-for-android-phone
Then you can vote for the LG G2 version, it's basically Bluetooth so you'll be able to use it wireless!

"Now Available" is a bit misleading.... if anyone is familiar with Kickstarter at all, you'll be lucky if you get the product within a year of the last day of funding.
This looks Awesome.
i want one. Definitely will save battery.
Change topic title, it's misleading. This isn't anywhere close to being now available not only is it not out but you have to vote for which phones get it, G2 getting it isn't even guaranteed.

The case is a small part of the device, the whole thing being a tiny portable bluetooth second screen is still very cool I posted here to get more interest in the G2 version... I'd use it even without the G2 variant but you can always cancel your pledge last min if they don't offer a G2 at the end of the campaign so no risk in loosing out...
