Guys
I see there's kind of couple minor/major issues with the phone so my question is very general, are you happy with the phone or you would have rather wait for the official release if you could?
Minor issues:
- Market
Umm that would be it IMO. Doesn't bother me, I can download APK's online and use ADB.

I would be interested in the answers to this too. Stuff like speech-to-text which MAY be included in the unlocked/unbranded version - I would certainly rather have that from the get-go, than have to root my phone to have it.
Having said that, I know I will probably root it anyway when some genius works out how to do it, but it would be nice if I had the CHOICE not to

ok, so apart from that your a 100% satisfied user then?
I read somewhere here (in the forum) that SENSE UI has crashed twice (with that guy since he purchased it)
is the sense UI stable even with lots of widgets running? or there is a little bit of un-stable-ness/lag when alot of widgets are active?
NO problems with this phone at all for me, the text to speech is over rated i have it on the Milestone and it doesn't always get it right and is slow.
I might see if i can put the apk file on this and see if it works will let you know.

After the deceiving ringtone volume of the N1 could you say it's the same issue with Desire?
I mean in an average noisy place like a street can you still hear your phone ringing?

Haven't been in a noisy place but the phone is much louder than the G1
After watching the presentation on ICS, I want ICS on this phone, more so in hopes that it will fix the issues we are having with "Android OS" which are causing extremely high CPU usage stats. The problem is, there is going to be a layer of TouchWiz on top of ICS, so here is to hoping our awesome developers can give us an awesome ROM(s), and we can get CM soon!
Plus the new voice input seems really good (only reason it messed up in the presentation in the beginning was because he started talking too early).
Not really interested in the Nexus Prime (Galaxy Nexus), but looking forward to how well our cameras operate with that new interface. I believe once we get ICS on our phones, ours will be a much better phone than the Nexus (other the instant updates on Nexus, of course).
AOSP would be nice. I wonder if ICS has rotational transition animation. Even though it seems like a useless feature when it comes to functionality. I want it!

Yeah, I don't think that manufacturers need to put a GUI over it anymore. I hope it comes totally stock android. That would also speed up the time it takes them to update the phone.

I know we have many different hardware configurations out there in the Android world and some people argue that's this fragmentation is the main reason we wait so long for updates. I believe the major reason is the many different skins or gui these manufacturers either plague or bless us with is causing our update woes.

If Google and Samsung announced all this at the original date iphone sales would have went down. ICS sure looks great.

And imagine if they had someone like Steve Jobs present for them. People might actually realize how good Android is. We get it but the average user doesn't and they need to be told this is the best thing around because we are telling you so.
so i've been on GS2 until recently i got GS-3, and after researchign on XDA i noticed GS3 dont have some Kick-ass Roms like GS2. i WONDERr if someone would start porting or making some for GS3 as well for ex. SHOstock rom?? ----freaking awsome, among others..
im not here to offend anyone or their ROMs by no means, hands down on all your hard work--BUT this is just me thinking on GS3 ROM's. im still waiting for a eye catching ROM for my GS3 to root....hopefully someone will bring someone exciting......
once again---those of you who got your roms out--THANK you for all your hard work
so you researched but never flashed any of the roms for the i747? how can you judge if its 'kick ass' or not?
I personally have been using Task650's AOKP since I bough my GS3 and love it. I have tried most of the available ROMs, but AOKP seems to play best with my phone plus it has so many customizations that it is insane. Used his AOKP on my GS2 as well.

ya, and i said that because non of them really compared to SHOstock, and i have used that one....................
i dont mind using AOKP--but personally not very fond to it----also used that one on my GS2
please!! again NO disrespect to anyone, especially they do their best for others....

Anyone that answers your question here probably isn't personally a dev.. so you're not disrespecting anyone.. but I don't get why you're posting about there not being any "kick-ass" ROMs when there are seriously a ton for our phone and you wont know what is "kick-ass" till you try them out...
I hate stock anything, and TouchWiz even more, so its been CyanogenMod from the beginning for me, and CM 10.1 now for a while. Try out some fresh Android 4.2. Tasty stuff!
1.) No you will not see any sgs2 ports.
2.) You're opinion of whats "kick ass" is more than likely is not what others think.
3.) The touchwhiz ROMs here are probably considered far more advanced than any sgs2 ROM dude. The hardware is totally different and this device is 10 times more powerful. So your statement of whats "kick ass" in comparison to anything sgs2 related is void at this point.
4.) Until you've tried any of the ROMs here's your whole post doesn't really apply nor does it make any sense.
Used a ton of roms, and I literally flash 5-10 roms a day to try them out. I've even made a list of the pros and cons of each roms. Task's AOKP is excellent, and it's actually a ROM I've stuck to for a few weeks. I recommend trying out each one of them and just backup your phone before doing so
Nvm Task weighed in... Now you have to try his AOKP build
NOW see, this really HELPs..........and BAM---i do have to try AOKP rom, i am gona get started to root my GS3--wish me luck

Tasks' AOKP is fantastic. You'll be very happy. Make sure you do your research!
I agree that's Task's rom is great but I personally prefer CM10.1. Both have their features that I like but the private mode on the stock browser is what keeps me on CM.
One thing that CM10.1 doesn't have is a HEX value entry box for the LED notification colour changes. Sure you can use the big colour "wheel" but it's impossible to get that exact colour you want.
The point is, no one ROM has it all but there are still many awesome ones out there that should come pretty close to everything you need. The trick is finding it and the way to find it is to try them out.

I love my LG G3 and the pictures it takes, but I would like a little bit more. So I rooted my phone and love the roms that it offers. I just think that every single rom out there is the same with just a different name. All of them are Lollipop. At first I did like Lollipop, but now I'm bored of it. I do install different themes to give it a different look but it still looks the same. All Lollipop roms looks the same and I use one that the Dev updates all the time, which is awesome that he updates and keeps us wanting more. But, I think of unrooting my phone and jumping over to either the new Samsung when it comes out or the new HTC One M9.
I know when the update comes to the LG it'll be just the same. I've seen videos of pretty much nothing new added or anything upgraded. I hope that the LG continues to grow. I'm on t-mobile so I don't have that "Theme" option on my phone so I can't change themes if my phone is un-rooted. We'll see in about a week when these new phones pop up. I will miss the camera on my phone but I didn't get a phone for the just the camera.
I want this 20 seconds of my life back

Okay??? Cool story bro. Don't expect much of a change with the newer phones coming out. Seems like you don't even know what you are looking for. You can theme a phone without being rooted. Several programs out there. One is advertised right on this site. Themer

I do like theming my phone, I've noticed using themer that it won't work for a rooted Lollipop rom, unless they fixed that. I haven't used it in about a couple of months. I sometimes use launchers but whenever I update the rom I would have to install all those apps again and again. So I got tired of doing that so I don't use launchers. I'm leaving my phone plain for now and holding off for the HTC I miss the whole Sense thing.

You want the new m9 or Sammy well you're not giving the G3 a fair battle. If you miss the HTC so much then switch don't hesitate. When the G4 comes out it will blow the m9 and Sammy to dust. If you want to customize so much might as well get a 1+. Stop complaining the G3 is the s**t

I bought a GS1 when it hit the shelves in 2010, paid cash for it. Stayed with Sammy as well - GS2, GN1, GS4 (still my daily driver) and my wife's Note 4. As with any phone, there's a lot to like... and stuff you don't. Recently, discovered you can't get past the bootloader on the Note 4 (Bell). My wife doesn't care, but that would drive me crazy.
Still, after playing with her's for a few months, I still prefer my G3 to a Note 4 or a GS5. It's the perfect balance between those 2, and really not much bigger than my GS4. And the screen is comparable to the Note 4's QHD display.

Yes I can relate to you. Never tried an LG phone but after having my G3 for months now I can honestly say it's the best phone I've ever had. With tweaksbox and a couple of other xposed mods this phone has proven worthy. Unless Sammy or any other manufacturer comes out with a game changer the G series is going to be my go to phone. Can't wait for the G4.
The G3 is great don't get me wrong. I'm just picky and wish it can do more. Majority of the LG apps are junk. I do give it to them the camera is really awesome. I think I just get bored fast with these phones. I like to give my phone a different look each time. I know rooting allows me more freedom. I'm a gadget fanatic and just wish for more features or the flexibility of theming the dialer and messaging apps without rooting. If the G4 would come out it'll be great to have those features.

I don't know much about the 1+ but I'm hearing lots of good stuff on the new to come out GS6 I'm probably going to hold off until this phone comes out and then see reviews. I went back to stock on my phone and I do miss stock but I don't have that feature of "Themes" in my settings so I can't change the icons. I really don't like launchers, but I do on occasion use Themer.

Well, if you do not wish to upgrade this 3 year old phone, why not try your hand at the exciting world of developing or Themeing? You can bring new life for others here. With new ways of getting new phones every year, this will happen much more quickly on newer devices.

What else do you need? There's TONS of good information and mods for the phone. It's a stable platform with almost ENDLESS customization. You might just have the new phone itch...
This looks cool. Never owned a Moto phone before, what do you guys think?
