I literally just got the LG Optimus G and I love this phone. I wish it was more blacked theme but I don't care. This phone is amazingly fast and playing around with the Samsung GS3 and Note 2, they got a bit laggy in the Sprint store.
Only thing I am worried about is battery life (people say it isn't the best) and dropping it...I don't have a case yet. Well just saying I love my Optimus G so far.
R.I.P Samsung Epic 4G, you will be missed.

Glad you miss your Epic. The only thing that made it tolerable was xboxfanj's work. I'm SO glad I got the LGOG. And the Devs coming with it. xboxfanj included.

I honestly think the battery on this phone is just fine. All depends on how you use it but it is light years better than my nexus s was.

During school I have like every possible thing turned off. I just text a lot.
And I found something that bugs me about this phone. I can't set the brightness all the way up "due to high temperature" and my phone isn't even hot. I mean...I feel the heat but that doesn't bother me. Now overheating scares me about this phone.
And I do miss my epic. I'm trying to transfer music and everything and this is....a pain in the arse.

Overheating is my problem. But, it rocks otherwise. The problem is battery life. Now that I'm at school, I can't last all day with it. And I just text a lot and minor Internet usage.

There's no reason to have the brightness all the way up. I'm outside alot and I keep it at 63 percent. My battery last all day easily. Especially if I just text and surf. Use Eco mode also

Same with mine. I had HAC mode enabled on my Vibrant which helped the same issue. Enabling it (different name) on the S ii doesn't really have any effect for me.

JB is amazing so far.. way faster, home button works much quicker even with s voice linked to it, love the next notification menu, and all of that.. even made our benchmark much much higher
JB is nice. It would also be nice if people started removing the sigs from Tapatalk :/
I agree im so happy all around. 1st of all this phone was flat out amazing out the box.

Basically I'm looking to see if this phone has the ability to see the extra Russian satellites. Like this picture, the square ones are glonass. Gps is so great getting locks with the extra sats. Person already has issues with her current phone (gs2) so that's my main reason for checking. If not I guess gs3 it is =(

I owned an s2 before this phone and I can tell you that the Gps in the s2 was crap! The difference in the lock on time between these two phones are night and day.. As far as picking up the extra Russian satellites I'm not sure on.

Nearly positive it does since it uses the S4 Pro, everything after the S4 should have it built in.

If it's anything like my Note 2 I already know! Those are indeed Russian satellites. I'm already sold on getting her this device just for the fact it's a quadcore plus now it's verified that glonass is enabled. I hope development for this phone picks up asap!

It all depends on how you use your phone. If you have a bunch of apps synching, terrible reception, and the screen on the brightest setting all the time you most likely won't get good battery life. I'm more than happy coming from the Nexus 4 though. That phone had horrendous battery life.

I just set up my galaxy s 4 to do the same, I'll try it for a few days. I just use tasker to set it to turn off internet unless I have an app open which requires it.
You can set it to turn on internet and sync at intervals too.
I didnt really change anything. Shut off all features. Brightness like 25%. But I did underclock to 1.3ghz. Which stilll ran really smooth.
