Cant wait to get my OGP this monday!! - LG Optimus G Pro

Oh man how do I start? Well I just wanna share to everyone how I feel!. It was almost a month of researching on forums, internet, videos etc on what should I get, either the note 2 or OGPro. Note 2 was my first choice because of slighlty better battery life, but I realize that OGP is just way better on every aspect .Very smooth UI, no lag, and the display is awesome!!
I already got some accessories for my OGP. I got the external wall charger from ebay, the Hyperion slim battery from amazon, and this awesome flip case with stand! Name of the flip/stand case is Nilkin btw, I just checked amazon and the only thing available now is from china, coz I ordered one from a Us seller and got it really fast like 3 days after I ordered it.

Then my zerolemon slim battery w/ charger should be delivered this monday also..
Can it be monday already?!!! And oh! I will get my OGP for Free also LOL

I was in the same boat as you, and man i ditched the note 2 idea the second i actually held the device and played around with it. Instant sell right there, its a shame its not promoted out the A like the galaxy series is. I get slightly annoyed when someone says oh wow a note 2! lol

Mine should here next week, and I can't wait either. I want to see how it will compare to my Note 2. The screen does look much better than the Note 2.

A bit diffrent here, i was choosing between S4, htc one or optimus G Pro..and found g pro suit my preference...and I love it. Having played with S4 for a while...I like this one better

Well my original picked was htc one also, then I went to atnt to check it out and I felt the screen is too small now, plus I dnt think I can live with it since i like phonea w/ removable battery. Then it came down to juat note 2 ans OG. If i picked note2 im gonna pay $200 while ill grt oGpro for free since my s3's trade in value is around a 120. Plus coming from s3 to note 2 wont feel anything different except bigger screen and the stylus.

You gonna love the ogp. An excellent device all the way around. Great clarity and detail on 1080P screen and very powerful processor.
I'm especially loving my device now that I got my new ZeroLemon 9300mAh extended battery. I'm still on my first charge cycle. I have over 12.5hrs of on-screen time and still have 12% battery left. This battery won't die. Likely at least 2-3 more hours of on-screen time left. Unbelievable and it will only get better I I go through more charge cycles. I've been trying very hard to burn it out so I can plug up for next charge cycle. So it'll be ready when.I go to work.in the morning. I highly recommend this battery. The little extra thickness is nothing compared to this battery life I'm getting. Phone still fits in my pocket fine.
Great phone. I've barely used my tablets since I got it.

Omg op I love you like a fat kid loves cake!
I have been looking for a leather flip case that doubles as a stand like I had for my note and that's exactly it..
Not sure how I missed it but thanks again..

Just FyI, I sold my S3 on eBay for $375.

I just got one myself! I have one question though. Does the OGP support wireless charging natively? Or do you have to get that flip cover? LG hasn't marketed wireless charging capabilities at all, so I just assumed it didn't have any...but there is a QI charger for it...

The US variant supports Qi charging out of the box. The flip cover also has an inductive charging coil built in. I can't say with any level of certainty whether any non-US variants support Qi without the cover.

Holy mushrooms batman! I just tried it before reading this, and it works! I used my old Lumia 920 charger. That's sweeetttt! It's not even listed as a function on the LG website. Super weird that they don't market that more. There are only a few devices that do that straight out of the box (Lumia 920, Nexus 4, and OGP). NICE!

Omg!!! Finally got my OGP today!! And let me tell you this..THIS PHONE IS SO UNDERRATED!!! I mean what not to love about this device!?? The Display is soooo Gorgeous!! Battery life is awesome, the build quality is nice. Lg took the customization to another level, folder colors, the keyboard, the ringtones, wallpapers etc tmtm! Im really happy that I picked Ogpro instead of note2:thumbup::thumbup:
And oh i was using my fone for 1 hour straight of downloading apps, and browsing and it never gets hot!

I love this phone too! I had taken my girlfriend to AT&T to get her a new phone and when we tried the OG Pro we both had to have one. We have had ours about three weeks now and loving them.

Will Samsung release a bigger extended battery?

What do you think? if so what would be the expected mah?
I'd love them to, but I doubt it :/ If they do however, I will be pre-ordering it straight away
Agreed just got a Nexus and the battery life is half that of my iPhone. My iPhones screen would be at max and the Nexus at the minimum.
If they release a 2500-ish battery I will get it

I don't think they will. Personally, I was disappointed in their decision to use such a small extended battery. I know allot of people don't want to lose the slimness. Those people should stick to the stock battery. I wish it was close to 3000 mah.
I guess Samsung decided more people would buy the battery based on slimness than would not buy because of mah rating.

Well we got the Seidio extended battery. Not exactly Samsung but I had good experience with their batteries. My only complaint about the battery is the back cover. Not a big fan of the color. Should have made it the color of the phone
Samsung wont make a bigger one. they did same thing for the galaxy S2.
Im waiting for the mugen one. I had that on my SG S2 and it was a beast
I hope Samsung or somebody else does. The siedo is huge and kinda ugly. Personally I would like around 2500mah -3000mah depending on how huge it is. Including NFC would be a huge plus too.
What's the seido?

Doubt it as it'd ruin the lines of the phone. The official 2000mah extended battery fits nicely and the cover just makes the phone feel better in the hand
the mugen will have how much battery?

All depends on your usage of the phone. It is only an extra 250 mAh, so if you are a heavy user, you may get an hour or two out, medium user a couple of hours and light user a few more!
I find it is easy to carry around a spare cheap eBay battery just in case you need it!
as long as it doesnt look like this:

Novel idea there, although it looks FUGLY!!
I'm not gonna lie. I'm tempted to get the Seidio one since I'm a really heavy user, especially during the night shift with music and such. But idk. I'm thinking about buying an extra extended battery since Verizon still has them for half off or getting the huge Seidio one. I don't use NFC so that doesn't really matter. What do you guys think?
By the way, sorry if I like jacked your thread with this question

Most people are going to tell you use the Samsung because it looks better...personally, looks don't matter to me, so if you feel you need the extra juice the seido is the best option at the moment. The thing keeping me from the seido is NFC and the price. I just went with the samsung. You can buy 2 of them for less than the price of the seido.

It's not an extended battery, its a RECHARGE pack. You hook it up and can switch it on to recharge the stock battery...thus, basically doubling the stock battery.
$100? Hell no. Would rather buy an extra battery than having to carry my S3 in that fugly ass case.

I agree with the price being too high. I actually think it looks kind of cool though, especially with the blue LED lights on the back (its like Night Rider kind of! hahaha) but I wouldn't pay $100 for it.

I watched an iPhone hack to make the apple symbol on the back of the device light up, i immediatly got jealous and started looking at the S3, i have a few ideas in mind to add some light effects
Does anyone know of any major chain stores that are carrying this?
I'm Just Sayin!
Just bought this at best buy yesterday for $59. Had no clue they cost $99 cause they had no sale price or anything on the shelf but after I bought it I looked online and saw it was advertised for $40 off After using it for a day and a half I probably would have paid the $99 if I knew it was this badass. The look and feel of it is just awesome and it makes the phone very comfortable to hold. Yes it doubles the thickness of the phone and ads a little more weight but having the ability to recharge my phone at the flick of a switch is awesome for a heavy user like me. Ive only charged the case one full charge last night and ran my phone down to 4% today then turned the case on and it charged the phone back up to 83% before it was drained but I also used the phone for about an 45 minutes while it was charging back up. All I can say is this is one sick ass case.
Yeah I bought it on the first day of release for $99. Its definitely worth it. Good for you on the $49 tho.
I'm just sayin!

For $40 you can get a 9000mAh external battery. It's not as cool as just flipping a switch but I prefer that to adding bulk to my phone and it can charge the phone and other devices multiple times.

True. The deciding factor for me getting this case is the "extra" conviency of not being bothered with constant plugging/unplugging, carrying additional items, and also an added protection to the phone. I guess you can say convergence cost a little extra. After looking at both options, I concluded the value of convergence, despite the extra cost, was much greater to me in my everyday activities.

[Q] Thinking of buying the note 2

Almost 18 months ago I made a mistake and bought the LG optimus 2x. It had a horrible stock rom (so much lag) and a very bad battery life. Thanks to CM it is much better now. My contract is ending soon and I don't want to make another mistake like the last time.
I read a lot about the Samsung Galaxy note 2 the last couple of days and it has so many positive stuffs but I still have some questions about it
1: Some people are saying that the battery life of the note 2 is very good but I also read on this forum that some people are having bad battery life?
2: If you install an app does the note 2 lag? (yeh the lg 2x does:angel or is there any lag at all when using it?
To be true I don't see anything bad about this phone, I did read that the screen can break very easily if you let it fall but yeh that's a risk you always take.
Thank you!
1. Great battery life, don't think you can get better battery life with any other handset. You can get 6-8 hr screen on time with browsing and video playback.
2. I have over 200 apps installed and it naver lagged evwn for 1 sec.
Close your eyes, buy it and remember me in your prayers for giving you a good suggestion
sent from: The New S-Pen
1. I get anywhere from 5 to 8 hours on screen time. This is the only phone I've ever had that I didn't have to worry about bringing my charger with me.
2. Installing apps doesn't slow this phone down at all. I have several installed with absolutely no lag.
Just to add, this is the best device I've ever owned. I usually switch phones every 2 to 3 months, but I really believe this device will hold me over until the Note 3 releases.
Thanks to both of you! 5,5 inch will be so awesome!
What can i say, i ordered a screen protector and i am gonna order the phone tomorrow. I still don't know which case i should get because the flip cover doesn't protect the edges at all.

I just got mine 2 days ago. I am absolutely STUNNED by the battery life on this thing! Yesterday I was running some N64 games while watching some tv shows at the same time and the battery levels were only crawling down. I will say it takes a while to get this thing to a full charge but man oh man is it worth it.. I went to this from an Infuse 4G and it blew my mind, you will not be disappointed with this phone! As for the screen covers, I always clutch onto my phones and work in a low pace environment so I don't have to worry about dropping it, the Samsung OEM screen cover is really nice and keeps the screen from getting scratched while in my pocket, and makes the phone just look that much more slick!
I have got mine... my battery life is a day. Gaming useage and emails. Currently on 9%. Love everything about it... the TouchWiz with note orientated features. I also have a 2X which i really loke running stock ICS from LG.
However, HTC Droid DNA or the international version looks tempting.

The only thing i am still worried about is which case i need to get. I think i will go for the flip cover of samsung.
Ordered a white Galaxy note 2! Should be here in 2 days , Thanks everyone for the advice and help!
Check out the flygrip. I'm using it on my S3 and it makes the phone so much more comfortable to hold and use one handed, I can't wait to use it on my Note 2(if Verizon ever releases the damn thing). But yeah, it actually comes with a pretty nice(free) case that covers all of the edges.

Rate your Refurb

This thread is intended to discuss your experience with your refurbished Galaxy Note 2 from AT&T so others can decide if a refurbished device is the right choice for them. If you want to rate the quality of your device on a scale of 1-10 I will keep the OP updated with the average rating. I for one was somewhat skeptical about ordering a refurbished device but I took the plunge after reading another members good experience and so far I have had no regrets. Please follow XDA rules and have fun.
That being said I would rate the quality of my device as a 10 . I ordered the white model and I have not been able to find any flaws ( and I am anal about little things ) I had a very bad experience with AT&T when I had the HTC one X , They sent me 3 refurb's in one week and all of them had issues. I am very happy so far with my Refurbished Galaxy Note 2 and I have the insurance just in case something goes wrong after the 90 days.
I did run into the loose charging port that I read about in these forums and discovered it to be the actual cable , not the phone. my solution was to file down the upper part of the housing and now the charging usb actually clicks into place. Also this aftermarket usb cable from radio shack fits perfect. see attached image.
Average user rating 8.7
Just to toss this out not Note related however I bought my daughter a referb s3 and it has been flawless as well. Att seems to ensure your getting a quality referb device. When I was with tmobile the same could not be said..

I had a refurbished Samsung replaced under warranty since my camera focus quit working**....it was basically flawless and in perfect condition. :good:
**Wasn't till later that I realized that my phone mounted on a motorcycle handlebar for a 2,900 miles trip might have contributed to the problem (i.e. vibration)?? Wasn't sure but makes sense. Anyway it quit working so I got a refurbished one which I still use on my motorcycle.
Haven't had a refurb note2 but my original note was replaced under warranty with a refurb and the first replacement had scratches on the camera lens, called at&t and told them that was unacceptable as I'm anal about my phone, most people probably wouldn't have even cared, they said no problem and sent me a new one.

Same here. Replaced the wife's 3gs with one.
Back is not hard to remove but doesn't seem it will fall of at all.
Some other things that I'd Ike to know if normal or not:
- very low call volume (still have to play with this more)
- beeps continuously while charging with my nexus one 1A (or less, don't remember) charger.
- &#%$&#%&$&#% lots and lots of AT&T crap ware. It kept trying to make me type my Gmail passwd on a att.com page during setup... riiight. Now every time I press contacts tab on phone app it shows a dialog about downloading contacts from att for a few seconds.

I don't recall any of that happening to me, however you should be able to install some aftermarket firmware after rooting and installing a recovery using Odin or Heimdall (depending on your OS)
However if you still have the low call volume and whatnot, I'd say completely revert back to stock and return it. AT&T will give you a brand new one at no extra cost if they deem it unworthy xD

Same for me(received my unit yesterday, (upgrading from a root and modded Skyrocket) excellent looking unit, battery was dead, no headphones... battery charged very quickly, much quicker than I expected... visually the phone itself is perfect, LOVE it.
What an incredible deal even with the specs of the IV that have been revealed over the last few days I feel VERY happy with this purchase, can't touch this battery life and screen size!
I've not received a Note 2 refurb, but for other's that I have; e.g. Skyrocket, S3, etc I only received the phone housing, never any other accessories such as battery, back plate, etc as I've always been told to keep those from the original.
Is the Note 2 different in that AT&T now provides those additional with a refurb replacement? Seems a bit odd they'd go through this trouble considering that would more than likely not have anything to do with the phone HW which is being addressed under warranty.
EDIT: Ah.... ok I mis-read this as I was under the impression this was in regards to warranty replacement... disregard.

I just wanted to say that if anyone wants a case with a kickstand, this is the case I got today from Best Buy, as they were out of cases at the AT&T store. I do quite like it (even though I probably won't be using it for its kickstand), but it is pretty thin and seems pretty durable for its thinness. It basically seperates into two by pushing on a specific area on the back and that way only (I tried prying it open via the sides for testing purposes and it wasn't budging). The kick stand is also magnetic and it works just fine on let's say, a table or other hard surface...
So yeah. Just thought I'd put it out there for anyone who needs a thin case and no I wasn't paid to post this xD
EDIT: I also have a question. I'm currently on the DataPro 4G 3Gig plan, but need to upgrade to the corresponding LTE plan. Will AT&T upgrade me to the 3Gig LTE plan (that's the same price) automatically or will they bump me down to a 300megabyte plan? Because I'm too lazy to call them oops.

That case is $20 on Amazon

I don't know why the ones in BB are called "PT" though. All I've ever owned is Seidio cases, my last one held up great for two years and I am in the construction industry. Here is the one I got, it is 2 cases in one:

Received my Note II (both of them) also .. visually a 10, functionality a 10 .. both phones are flawless. Was surprised however that both phone came with 4.1.1 on them .. being refurbished, I would had expected AT&T upgraded them to current before shipping .. but then again, that helped me .. LOL .. both phones UNLOCKED before upgrading
The two we got are in really good shape, except I can't get them to use the home wireless -- which is supplied by AT&T ironically enough. They both keep saying "authentication error". We have tested them outside the home and Wifi works fine there, so they just won't work at home.
Regardless, the recipients are no longer jealous of my Note 2, which I bought on (AT&T) launch day.

Think my M7 is about to bite the dust

Yesterday I noticed my phone hot and noticed the screen was bulging trying to separate from the phone body. I placed in my apt AC vent and most of the swelling went down. So figure time for a new phone but not going with HTC this time. I have had HTC since the droid incredible and figure time for a change.
My question to you is go for the galaxy S6 edge or the Verizon nexus 6. I am looking for a good camera and sorry HTC has let me down on many of the previous phones I owned. I will keep my old M7 as still workable but that just in case as don't want to be without a phone. This had been a great community with many great ROMs except that darn Google one that my phone seemed to not like as it would only send one text and no more lol.
So guess this is kinda farewell but never posted much in here lol. So let's see what all you guys and gals suggest. Not looking for a note as it has to fit in my works shirt pocket lol. Less chance of breaking there than in my pants pockets.

The Nexus 6 is bigger than the Note but its also available for $299 new right now if you don't mind a phablet phone. There are two new Nexus models available for preorder from the google store, the 5P and 6X. The Droid Turbo2 is supposed to come out later this month but Moto updates have been slow lately. I would also look at the LG G4 right now.
My buddy has the S6 Edge and he likes it but says the curved screen doesn't really add anything to the phone. I've also read some complaints about strange reflections due to the curved edges. If I had to get a Samsung today I would probably grab a used S5 off eBay in good condition for about $200. You get a sdcard slot and removable battery with the S5.
I currently have a Droid Turbo and like it but I just grabbed a M7 off eBay for cheap last night because I missed this phone. Also the wife has been complaining about her Moto X a lot so I will probably give her my Turbo to shut her up. Good luck with your new phone whatever it may be.
