Feedback please - T-Mobile LG G3

Hi G3 Xda Fam,
Im in need of some feedback from some of you guys.
Im needing to make a decision in a few hours if im going to buy this phone. I am coming from a Note 2, so if you have done the same what are the Pros and cons??
are you a heavy user? and if so are you always looking for a outlet? did you need to pick up an external battery/charger? and of course last but not least how are the custom roms for this beast? do they have alot of broken things like camera, HDMI out? Thanks for any feedback guys!!

Sadly manufacturers won't bet on note 2 as there is no guarantee in sales

Guess so , or there should be some kinda adapter to hook it up to the other phones..

It has severe vignetting problems and lousy contrast and sharpness. Basically you get what you pay for.

[Q] Since cannot Root 4.4.2 Suggestions for a new Phone Rec

Since I cannot root Note 2 4.4.2 any longer, any recommendations what phone to switch to that I can unlock and root? I like the size of note 2. I watch a lot of videos? Like S-Pen
Thanks
Michael

Why are you not able to root? It is rather easy to do: LINK

You start this question under a false premise. Why do you think you cant root 4.4.2?????????
I'm using this app for a year now on my Note 2 (on 4.1,4.2, 4.4.2 ):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=polis.app.callrecorder&hl=de
works perfect and does not need root permissions. The volume of the other person is a little bit low in contrast to yours but thats okay
edit: oh i think i overread the post I thought because of the title ("[...] new Phone Rec") he searches a non-root callrecording app
To TheATHEiST,
You don't know me, but I am not too surprise that I started my question on a false premise.
To Androidwizzard,
Thanks for the link. I plan on rooting Sunday and will let you know how it works out.
I also asked this question on two other threads and I was told I couldn't do it. In this case I am glad I am very stubborn and didn't take no for an answer.
Thank you both,
Michael

Got my Note 4 this afternoon!

This afternoon a friend called me and said a premier authorized dealer near him got 3 in stock today and were selling them. These stores are modeled exactly like the corporate stores but owned by another company. You guys might want to try those! Mine was a SpringMobile AT&T store.
I officially hate you Nice job man!! So jealous can't wait!

Would be nice, but assuming the bootloader is locked like other recent phones, don't bet on it.
That "enforcing" says it all.. Locked lol
Yeah, it sucks. Hopefully someone finds at least root. I can't wait to get rid of this ATT bloatware.

Bootloader and root are 2 entirely different things.
White looks really good..!! Thinking of selling my iphone 6 and getting the Note 4 lol [emoji57]
Damn att and their crappy orange boxes. They charge more, remove the headphones and give you a crappy box.
Otherwise congrats and can't wait to get mine!!!

Yeah really. LG didn't let ATT box the G3. That was a cool box. Samsung must not really care.
Att is crazy, we pay top dollar for a device and they don't include earphones... Unreal...

Hi,
It's like ChatOn, but appears to be specific to Samsung edge phones.
The reason I posted here was to start a discussion.. I wanted opinions and if anyone knew any special features about it then they might mention.. didn't really think it needed to go in the Q & A section because I had nothing specific to ask. Just thought it was a nice touch (only useful to people who had registered for it!!)
ya i got a s7 edge and always wondered about it. my friend got a note 7 and i finally got to try it out. couldn't see any reason why it is worth using

Stereo Surround Sound

Watz up Note 8 community. Happy to say i picked up my Note 8 yesterday and do to my hectic work schedule haven't had a chance to root it yet but will definitely this weekend. Some of you probably remember me from creating the Stereo Speaker mod for various phones in the past, Nexus, S5, Note 3, 4, 5, Edge, 1 plus and so on. Would love to do it here for the Note 8 but i need someone to post the mixerpaths file for me and be willing to test my changes until i can root.
Once we get it working 100% ill create a bunch of various volume zips to flash and a return to stock zip as always in this thread. For now you will have to save your original file and side load the modded one. If your interested please post it here for me to download.
Obviously the only prerequisite is that you be rooted and willing to post your file. If you dont want to test thats ok too i will post the modded file here for anyone to test. Thank you.
Welcome to the tmobile note 8 community ?
Here you go super excited!
K folks give this a try. Please save your original before replacing. If theres an issue you usually wont get stuck but I've ran into instances where my phone got really wonky and i had to reflash so there's that. I am confident, but there is 1 doubt stuck in my mind that i cant test at the moment until i root so please proceed with caution. If you have to ask how to replace your original with this one please let someone else do it. Appreciate it...
