[Request] Dedicated Forum for LG Nitro HD/Optimus LTE

Mods, this is a request for a dedicated forum for LG Nitro HD (AT&T)/Optimus LTE (Bell).
Post your request for dedicated forum here Vote for Nitro HD
Please see attachment for the ADB USB driver. The RAR file attached is the LG Support Tool software. Once installed, go under Customer Support menu -> Application, Manual, USB Driver Download -> Use the Model selector and pick LGP930 and look on your ATT Nitro HD box for S/N or back of your phone. You will have the choice to download the USB driver (LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN36AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.6) or the user manual. The files will be saved under C:/LGP930 by default. The actual driver is too big for attachment here.
I just picked up the phone from AT&T for $150 not $250 as originally advertised. I never had a LG phone before, and I understand the poor track record it has. But this is actually a very good phone. Just for background info, I have used Captivate, HTC Inspire 4G, Galaxy S2. Here is a brief review so far.
Built quality: It's all plastic with a textured back. There is no creaks anywhere. Just solid all around. It's not as sexy as the skyrocket though.
Display: It's as good as what others have described. I compared it to the Iphone 4s and Skyrocket at the store. It's almost identical as the 4s but blows the Skyrocket out of the water. I am a fan of AMOLED, but the resolution and brightness on the Nitro HD is just on a different level. Browsing Slashgear.com full website, I can read the words on the Nitro HD without any zooming in.
Speed: It's very smooth but not as smooth as the Galaxy S2/Skyrocket if you have to be nitpick about it.
GPS: It's raining in Austin, it locked to 9 GPS in 3 secs. Google navigation is spot on and extremely accurate.
DAC/Audio: I'm an audiophile. The sound from a nice set of headphones plugged into the Nitro HD sounds really good, on par with the Galaxy S1 with Voodoo sound. I believe, this phone has the Wolfson DAC as the Optimus 2x. Not sure because I can't find a source.
Data speed: There is no LTE market here in Austin, I'm trying back to San Antonio (which has LTE) tonight. Will update on the the LTE speed.
Let me know if you have any questions about this phone. I think it's a really good phone and has great potential for XDA devs to be involved. Thanks.

Second for this. Hopefully we can get this phone rooted asap. The screen on this phone is awesome better than the vivid i had before this.

Your second request should be for the negative LG Nitro HD thread not to be moved into the new forum.
LTE speeds are fast. End of story. I got, on average, 22-23 Mbps.

Well this phone continues to impress. I am locking 12 satellites on the first floor livingroom in a 2 story house. I am not even close to the windows. On a rainy day.

Root
Agreed with all the above points, screenz amazing better than the iphone4 and galaxy s2.
Am coming from Galaxy s2, i found that the touch is not as responsive- am sure a custom rom will address this issue...
I know you devs rock, hopefully we can get the nitro hd rooted and an ICS rom soon.

yes please make a forum for the new Nitro I got it today first customer on the store, and was really impressed with the display quality, while the performance on the original SGS2 that AT&T has, this display blows out the SGS2 one out of the water, now the battery worries me a little and performance at times as well, i will test it out for a week and see if i will keep it or return it and get the galaxy Nexus. we need a root and a room to get this phone faster.

I have a skyrocket, my 30 day return window ends in 3 days.
Honest opinion Lg nitro hd or Skyrocket?
As a side note the Dev side of things dosen't really matter all to much to me.

Wow. You have 30-day return periods over there? Nice...
My honest opinion is "neither". I would not trust anything LG-made. Ever. The Skyrocket is good, but, if it ends up costing you roughly the same as the Gal. Nex., go with the Nexus.

Id go with the LG Nitro. My brother has the skyrocket and compared them both the screen on the Nitro is by far way better clearer crisper. I like the phone i miss my vivid due to sense but thats the only thing i miss. Now to just get root

Just a quick question, I can't seem to find the answer to - does the Nitro HD have an LED Notification lamp?
Thanks!

Well I had it so far today, definitely will test it this week, I have until the 14th to well cancel my account, if thats the case i might Order a Galaxy Nexus, thats if this one does not deliver, and get a sim from Simple Mobile.

I don't understand all of the crap this phone is getting, I love it, and would like a separate forum.

Yeah not a single negative thing thus far. Gonna see how the battery life goes tomorrow with first full day of use. I was getting 12mbs down and 10mbs up on the LTE after I got back to San Antonio tonight. I still can't figure out why San Antonio has LTE over Austin.

I agree I love this phone. Its thin lightweight and killer screen.

What do you guys think of the One X????

I don't own a nexus but I considered buying that beautiful phone many times. But now I think I'm gonna get the HTC One X. What do you guys think of that phone? Any of you getting it?

It's a nice phone.....but not worth the upgrade from a Galaxy Nexus.
Tegra 3 ain't too great for starters. But luckily they have a Krait option in the One XL.
The protruding camera has poised to be a small problem also.
And it's just so damn expensive right now.
Will probably end up holding this GN till the next nexus device comes out as I just got it. Unless the SGSIII is too damn amazing to pass up.

But in all seriousness, don't think you'll find many people with the Galaxy Nexus who will dump it for a Sense device, a mere 4 months (at most) into owning the GNex. Just not that big of an upgrade, even if it was stock Android 4.

Cool I respect that. There is no doubt that the nexus is an awesome phone.

I'm not a fan of tegra 3 really, omap or qualcom preference. But the one x looks stunning. And I want HTC to sell a ton of these to get back in the game and mix things up.
Nexus always for me...

Camera is a lot better than I expected on the Nexus. Was expecting the worse, took a few snaps after updating to 4.0.4 and it's pretty good. White balance and color tones etc...are true and accurate.
In low light, there's a bit of noise but it's to be expected. Because it's 5MP can tell some shots just can't get all the detail when zoomed in and looking at the pics.
But the One X camera is a beast. The 4FPS is nuts, it's just continuous and stays in focus too for the most part. But it seems that it still isn't the best which is surprising. Just competitive with the other best camera smartphones.

Yea i'm over there looking at threads and replying and stuff.
Probably not now that I got a Galaxy Nexus. I was thinking about getting the AT&T version when it came out but I probably wont now. Doesn't seem worth it.
I might use my upgrade on an iPhone 5 or something or SGSIII depending on how the phones are.
Then sell one of them for the new Nexus in November/december

While the phone nerd in me wants the newest toys I know I would hate sense. I hear its gotten a lot better but I love plain Android. I tried miui and restored my back up 5 min later lol
Sent from my iPhone smashing Galaxy Nexus

I think One X is a significant upgrade:
1. cpu is almost twice as powerful
2. gpu is 2-3 times more powerful
3. camera is a LOT better accoridng to reviews
4. Display is apprantely the best on a smartphone ever. (this one may not be a very big deal for us but still a good upgrade)
5. Design is just awesome, seems a lot more robust and slim than gnexus.
When it falls short is the software. I've never owned an andorid phone other than gnexus so I don't know: do you guys think vanilla ics will be fully functional on this phone and when do you think it'd be available?

I'll try and get it when it comes to ATT

From my experience......AOSP on any other phone besides a Nexus is nice, but it just doesn't feel right. There are some small minor things here and there that just makes you want a Nexus instead so you don't have to deal with the little bugs.
It will definitely get Vanilla ICS eventually, idk how long....it looks like the One X will have a good dev community behind it. A lot of people are thinking it's one of the great phones ever lol
The CPU is better, but its literally just 2 more cores of the cortex-A9 which is what we're running also. And nothing is really utilizing it efficiently.
GPU is better but thats not hard honestly. Nvidia apparently isn't using any real new tech in it, they said it themselves somewhere. I'd wait for "Keplar" to be in it with Tegra 4 revision.
Screen is a toss up, it could be a lot better, and it might not...idk i don't have one lol. I have a feeling its nice, but idk if its a drastic improvement over SAMOLED HD.
Either way....best to know what Samsung does with SGSIII before making any decision. It might turn out like the SGSII and Sensation where SGSII just ended up smoking it. Though, the Sensation had a great dev community and definitely one of the largest outside the Nexus, and SGS series phones.

Totally agree

I'm usually on a one phone a year cycle with the Nexus phones, but since my GN screen is cracked I will probably jump on the SIII early summer and then sell that for the new Nexus and Jellybean at the end of the year. If the SIII comes packed with a bad ass Exynos processor then I'll definitely do this.

One thing about the nexus though, how strong is the screen? I mean it's not gorilla glass. Is it really resistant?

Definitely a great phone, i doubt ill be trading my Nexus for it though. i have convinved an iPhone user to buy it for his next upgrade so ill get to try it out

It is similar to GG in terms of scratch resistance, from personal experiences using SII and now GN. Sand seems to be the only thing that scratches it, so make sure u dont take it unprotected to the beach . it wont be as strong though, but under normal day to day conditions it should be fine, scores well in drop tests.

[Q] Buying a Nitro now? Good or Bad?

Hi comrades! I was wondering if I should sell my HTC Vivid (Development has stopped for good) and pick up a used nitro off ebay, or should I invest in a Atrix HD, Note, or One X?. I see you guys have some talented devs at work and the Nitro's hardware is pretty kickbutt. So I'm pretty tempted too! Thanks in advance btw!

I've had my nitro for about two months now. Its a decent phone (I came from Galaxy Vibrant) but the responsiveness of the screen is definitely not responsive enough for me. I'm on the official ICS also.
If you're into flashing a bunch of different roms then this phone might not be for you. There are only a handful of devs making/porting roms here. Not that they aren't doing great, I just like to have a ROM buffet . I ordered a Gnex which should arrive tomorrow due to its dev support.
If you can get past lack of support (compared to the vibrant anyways, I'm not bashing the devs here at all) and slightly less responsive touch screen then this phone is decent.
Soo my only gripes about the phone:
Not as much development compared to phones like gnex or vibrant
Touch isn't as responsive compared to my old vibrant
Battery life ain't the best (I'm on extended so that helps a lot)
Pros:
IPS display is great.
Speaker is loud.
Camera is nice
Small community so you recognize most people here
Hardware is nice
I hope that helped!
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda app-developers app

Don't get any phone with a pentile display unless it is the Galaxy 3. My Optimus LTE screen is just as responsive as the Galaxy 2/ Infuse. They probably use the same tech.
At the going rate for unlocked Nitrous, it.is the best buy right now if you don't need quad core. There is plenty of promising dev support, and rooting is easy.
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda app-developers app

Nitro is a decent phone. Im still deciding whether or not to go back to the amaze as a backup or keep the nitro.
The touch response is pretty slow, but maybe its more sensative to being covered up with a screen protector.
Its a pretty smooth phone seems to task pretty well. The camera... well i hatevto say it but its awful.
A real let down considering lg 's firsy true flagship had such a killer camera on it.
Could be just the software i dunno.
Battery although most people say it sucks seems normal which .... sucks.
The screen is awesome, really nice i think on par with the one x. And yeah if your going to go with sammy get the gs3 all the other screens including the note are just garbage, that is unless you prefer over saturated unatural colors.
Im actually waiting for the note2.
Rumor its going to have a better screen than gs3.
This is a nice every day or backup phone.
Is it a beast? Hardly.
But i will say this the lg skin is pretty close to aosp.
Dont pay more than 250- 300.
I got mine for 225.

Compared to any non-HD screen phone, the battery life will suck especially if you have a lot of screen on time. Standby time in CM9 or CM10 is excellent though.
After owning, developing for, and having hardware issues with my Nitro before, I can't recommend this phone unless your getting it on the cheap. The hardware issue I had was the microphone stopped working and people couldn't hear me. (It wasn't a ROM issue).
With that said, I have heard bad things from Galaxy Nexus owners as well, such as it overheats. I haven't had my Nitro overheat before but it certainly gets hot if your playing a game on it for an hour. LG needs to work on their quality though, I think many of us believed that the Nitro being a flagship phone at the time would be of higher quality but I really don't believe the manufacturing quality is up to that of Samsung or HTC.
I admit I am nitpicking considering I use this phone every day and it works well for everything I need.

I got two for a penny each....pretty Damn happy with my purchase
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda app-developers app

As others have said, unless you can get this phone for $50 or less on contract, don't bother. The development community is tiny, there is a huge lack of quality, stable ROMs, battery life is mediocre if you like to use the screen a lot, and the touchscreen isn't that responsive.
I'm getting rid of this phone and upgrading when my contract permits. I was really on the fence about upgrading to the Galaxy Nexus, but decided to keep the Nitro for the time being since it does have a really nice screen.

Honestly. I would get something else. Screen is great. But that's about it. I would get the note because development is great. The one x is growing fast. But the Atrix HD is just getting started.
Depends on if you like an arsenal of roms to flash.

Just got the gnex..
It's amazing. Performance is great, ROM support is great and I love the customizable ness of it. I could change the onscreen buttons and all that.
The only things I miss from nitro HD is the screen and SD card but I can live without those. Nitro HD screen beats the gnex screen hands down but its not enough for me to stay with it.

Didn't wanna get rid of it till i had my One X. But i dumped that phone today for a quick $200

[Q] Nexus 4, don't you think LG screw it up?

Hi there,
So my question is, what do you think of the nexus 4?
Personally i think in the front it looks ferocious but in the back part, it looks like shiny and LGfab (disgusting) style, they should put a mirror in there also.
Also, do you think that the rumors of a GN2 or a GN+ will become true?
Plz god YES.
I think nexus phones HAVE to be from HTC or (now) samsung!!!
Will I buy it!?
Yes, cause its google's so the expectation can be above the sky! I dont think that it is better than our beloved GNexus.
Thank you

I personally think it looks fantastic. But to each his own. I've always had Samsung phones including both Nexus' made by them. Although I wish Samsung had another run with it Lg isn't stopping me from buying the nexus 4.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I still love my galaxy nexus no need buy nexus 4.

I love it, I think the glass construction will make it feel much more premium and better in the hand than the GNex.

Thanks for the laugh. This is the one and only. LG Google Nexus⁴.
Take it or leave it. The "GNex+" is the Touchwiz NatureUX Samsung Galaxy Premier. It just simply has the gut of the GNexus smashed into a Touchwiz phone.
IMO the N⁴ is the most beautiful Nexus made so far. Finally a Premium feeling device. And iPhone 4S has a shiny apple logo smacked right on the middle of the back, still a best sellermad:Nexus should be). So yeah.

I believe no matter how popular it is LG is a bad phone manufacturer. Point blank. They get a phone slap their ui on it and call it flagship......noooo. HTC is the way to be. Literally they should have taken over after Samsung.
Sent from my myTouch 4G Slide using xda premium

How can anyone say without touching one? The phone hasn't even been released yet. No regular users (or even reviewers) have had quality time with it.
As for the GNex+ or GN2, those phones don't exist and never will exist.

I know I'm probably speaking blasphemy here, but the only two attractive features of the Nexus 4 are the Snapdragon S4 Pro and 2GB of LPDDR2, and honestly, Android is so piss-poor at managing multi-core and RAM that those specs won't make it any faster than an iPhone 5 or any of the upcoming WP8 devices until, I'm gonna just guess here, but probably Android 5 or 5.1.
Hard truth.

Me, too.

I think putting a quad-core in is a stupid idea unless you severely underclock it. A good dual-core S4 like the HTC One S (which performs better than the quad-core One X in most situations due to the smaller resolution) would have been largely sufficient. Thumbs up for the memory upgrade, though.
I remain doubtful w.r.t. the IPS screen. I'm the first to admit that the Super AMOLED in our Galaxy Nexus has wonderful contrast, homogeneity and sharpness, but the gamut + default color profile suck and there is hella ghosting. I hope the new screen will be an improvement.
It's good that they managed to fit a 2100 mAh battery in there but if it comes at the expense of not being able to carry backup batteries, then I don't like it. I always have a spare battery when travelling and it would feel quite wrong for me to use a monolithic phone. Bleh.
Still no micro-SD slot though it was one of the many complaints about the Galaxy Nexus.
Europe is quite slow with true 4G deployment so why no 42Mbps DC-HSPA+?

Um u could just buy an external battery that charges it. Like how iphones do it. You charge the battery, and u connect it to the Port and it charges. So that is not an excuse why someone wouldn't want to upgrade.

This is a stupid regret full buyer of LG. I have a few words to say. Whatever they did to this, will be awesome. Why? Google shall support it in software and LG does the hardware...
Now Let me tell you this. LG promised my phone(Optimus Black) ICS at the third quarter of this year. Guess what? Sorry, we still don't have any updates of the ICS. UP TILL NOW. So, u really should buy it LG has everything good except user support. And now, Google collaborates with LG and that solves everything!

Android isn't the only culprit that can't manage multi-core, we've had single core for so long that getting proper dual-core optimisation will take at least another 2-3 years.
The jump from dual-core to quad-core was a much smaller leap than from single-core to dual-core.
The truth is that most apps don't scale well.

I think that Google picked lg. I wonder if Google has their own forum, where they make threads wondering if their customers are retarded? Come on, the phone isn't even out yet. Any complaint has been refuted a dozen times in any of these dozens of threads. Google birthed the magic box (gnex) everyone here loves so dearly, and now they made a new one. I apologize for my bluntness, but it's ****ing GOOGLE, and I'm gonna go ahead and presume that they known how the hell to oversee their flagship device's production. The phone is probly awesome. Buy it, don't, or make your own phone.

Opinion about Galaxy Nexus

Hey Galaxy Nexus community!
So, I'm looking forward to buy a new phone and G Nexus is the first one on my list due to price range. Do you guys think it's worthy to buy? I own a Xperia Play and I want to buy other phone because I rarely use the gamepad (and it makes the phone too thick and heavy) and I want a device that runs Jellybean smoothly.
Thanks in advance

Well... it depends on what you're looking for. Development device and a nice phone? I love my toro for that. Camera leaves something to be desired. Are you steering away from the Nexus 4 due to price constraints? I don't personally own one, but newer has to be better, right?

Newer is usually better.....USUALLY....the nexus 4 is a good phone but doesn't have LTE .....doesn't work with Verizon....and only has a maximum of 13GB of usable storage....as for the op.....I would wait a couple months if you have an upgrade as MWC and Google I/O are right around the corner....if money is a concern and you don't have an upgrade grab a galaxy nexus....it still got 4.1, 4.1.2, 4.2 and 4.2.2 before any other phones except the other nexus devices....and they're pretty cheap right now....as the person above me mentioned the camera is lacking a bit behind but it hasn't hindered my year with the device at all....good luck

I'm looking for a fast, beautiful, practical and durable phone that has active development, the camera is not something I'm really happy with on the Galaxy Nexus but I can live with it.
I would rather have a Nexus 4 but it's not easy to get one in my country and the price is a problem :\
Can you tell me how the screen brightness performs outdoors?

Thanks for the answer
The galaxy nexus will most probably be my choice since it's a good upgrade from my phone and it fits my wallet.

Congratulations. you have made a fantastic choice.
I have mentioned this before, but the only issue i face with my Nexus is the camera quality and low sound output of speakers.
Since camera is not a concern for you, and sound can be improved using different mods, the GNex will be a great choice.
The screen on this device is brilliant. Although i have a matte finish screen guard, i am able to see very clearly in almost any light scenario.
And all the other points: Budget, active development, point to the GNex.
Do let us know once you make a decision.

Neeraj

The Galaxy Nexus is a work horse of a phone. Good decision, have fun with it.

ROMs and Kernels
Congratulations on your choice. When you get your phone you might be interested in custom ROMs and Kernels. Here's a source that might be helpful:

It's new so there isn't much there yet, but it has great potential.
