So this is really my only go to phone at the moment. However as you can see from my tag I am coming from a nexus. Assuming it doesn't get unlocked like the S3 how mad should I be over the locked bootloader? No custom kernel, so no over clocking, no battery tweaks, etc. But let's be honest on my nexus while I always rock a custom kernel I am not in there tweaking it all the time. How do others feel? To me it just more or less feels like a slap in the face from Verizon.

I have used the t-mobile note 2 for a few days and you don't need to do any of that stuff to this phone. The speed is freaking amazing and the battery lasts all freaking day. The only thing i did was root it so that I could is TiBU and I was set. (I ended up returning the phone due to stinky t-mobile signal so I'll be waiting for the vzw version to come out)
Will 4.2 be able to be installed before Verizon gets off their slow duffs

I dont think it'll be bad. You see all these other threads of everyone *****ing about the locked bootloader just like the s3 and that got unlocked. I have faith. I just want to be able to root and ROM. I just preordered it yesterday! A whole month away though it feels so long haha

It blows my mind that they are holding this release back a month. i am sitting here saying "shut up and take my money" and they would rather f it up some how.

the wait will be worth it! at least we will have the multi-window feature on launch! who knows if other versions will even get that update by the time vzw launches on the 27 or 29.

other carriers will get it and they'll get something ours won't launch with. When has Verizon ever been ahead of the curve on new tech?
Verizon is the guy that shows up late to the party and then starts writing the word "VERIZON" on everybody's forehead in sharpie.

Im betting the devs will use kexec to side load custom kernels and recoveries like the S3 initially was before the insecure bootloader was leaked.

Not really for this device. To get the full potential you need the majority of Samsungs framework riding behind the scenes. A phone like this would not be right with just AOSP/stock Android. Maybe keep the possibility of having a Samsung ROM that's cleaned up a bit but not a total makeover.
Now a phone like the Droid HD or the upcoming HTC DNA then yes; I would be pissed.

I have jumped on the SGN LTE Wagon, she's a beauty, and so was the X2 (minus that annoying screen ghosting). I'll be at the Nexus forums, you can find me there.
But just wanted to say thanks to all Devs and modders here who helped make my X2 amazing and I leave behind a brand new..... Droid x2 3800mah EXTENDED BATTERY WITH CHARGER STILL IN PACKAGE from the review I did last year (bought 2)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,
How can I go about doing this? I'll even pay shipping, any suggestions? Raffles? Open to ideas, I want a good home for it and someone who will deserve it and won't have to wait to get it from India and wait 3 years for delivery...
Well any way of doing it would have to be random. That's how contests usually are.

So, after jumping into Android with a Droid X a couple years back, I fell in love with Android. Since being an avid anti-Appleist, this love was not unexpected. I loved the way the devs were able to work with a locked bootloader. I came across an X2 at the beginning of the year, and was thrilled with the speed increase and the screen resolution increase; Although missed how everything just worked with the X.
Now I very recently acquired a Rezound, and holy hell this thing is fast! After some research and tinkering, I soon realized this phone is a different beast in terms of modding than the Moto. I have flashed up to ICS, rooted, S-Off'ed, and now I am having issues with AR Recovery in terms of backups and storage mounting. I am also coming to hate Sense, and wishing there were an AOSP rom ready to go.
I have a little thought in my head urging me to explore options of acquiring a G-Nex instead...

Sent from my rooted Galaxy Nexus via XDA Premium.
I waited six months to get a gnex, I was probably more excited to get this phone than any other of the million different phones I have had in the past.
When I finally did manage to get one, I could not believe what a complete total POS it turned out to be. Being made by Samsung, I guess I shouldn't have been all that surprised but I actually believed (because I wanted to) all the asinine totally raving reviews from completely clueless idiots on sites like this.
I used that steaming pile for 2-3 weeks and then made sure I returned it before it was too late. If there has ever been a bigger disappointment from a phone not even coming close to the pre- release hype than the gnex, I can't imagine what it would be.
From the crappy pentile screen to the awful camera to the useless radios etc etc etc, it seems like every time I turned it on I found another thing to be let down over.
Some things can be fixed with software updates, things like an awful camera will never change. I did pre-order a GSlll to burn up my last upgrade, but I don't have tremendously high expectations for it so when it turns out to be a typical Samsung pile of you know what I can probably sell it for a profit and go back to the superior Rezound.

It does exist. Basically the same phone with a red backsimilar to the j butterfly. Comes with a fatboy charging pillow. You get both for 99 bucks.
That's actually a pretty solid deal. I wonder if it will be up on the VZW website before Xmas. I'm debating on Note 2 or DNA (obviously), and the DNA is getting pretty stellar reviews from all over, but that 6-7 hours of ONSCREEN time on the Note 2 makes me want it ever so much. I hate the fact I can't use my phone for a long period of time.
If it goes live on the website, I'll post a screen cap.

What good does this do you? You're paying an extra $40/month for the upgrade? In two years you'll have paid ~$960 for the second line that you maintain just to get an upgrade every year. If you're putting a dumb phone on the line so you don't have to pay data you're a little better than buying a phone outright, but not much.

I thought you quit working for the overlords of hell?
Have to say I'm pretty impressed.
Due to a financial bind, I had to sell my galaxy note 2 today and had to get another phone, both through Craigslist, so I picked up the og for 160 cash, then sold my note 2 titanium for 400.
I think I got a BARGAIN on this Optimus, the thing is a beast.
The note 2 was such a powerful device with superb battery life, honestly battery life was incredible on it, I couldn't imagine it would be so good, could go a easy 14 hours with extremely heavy usage, sad to say I can bet some penny's that the battery won't come close to compare on this Optimus, since I bought it at 35%battery and it was dead a hour later lol.
Needless to say I need to get a car charger again, lol
So where do I go from here?
I'm mainly interested in a more stock rom but something fast, stable and good with battery.
I'm willing to go non stockish as well, what everyone's rom and kernel picks?
I never rooted the note 2,it was THAT good lol and I'm usually the type to root ab rom everything

160 for an LGOG? those things are going for 400 on ebay... I'd worry about the legitimacy of the source. Hopefully at&t won't shut you down all of a sudden when the owner calls it in... Here's hoping you just caught an impulse seller in desperate need for cash. I've found a few of those in the past.
yer not likely to get note2 battery life, but with JB, yer idle drain should be in the 1-1.5%/hr range even with LTE. screen-on will drain faster, of course, but the LGOG screen is not nearly as thirsty as the SAMOLED in the note2. With the screen on, I might do 10%/hr, so that 35% in one hour is hopefully an aberration and not an indication of a bad battery. Good luck.
Screw rom's man. Keep it stock, upgrade to JB (over the air through AT&T) and leave it as is. Everything works and works incredibly well. No need to stick a ROM on there and lose a feature like Bluetooth or have buggy SMS like some people are reporting. This phone is PERFECTLY fine stock.
If you want to root your phone and install a custom ROM, I recommend TeenyBin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230994
This will do all of the work for you. You will need LGNPST, I can help you get it, just send me a message.

No offense meant, but how can u say screw ROMs on XDA????I'll agree the phone is awesome stock, but its that much better rooted and unlocked. Been running rootbox and houcha kernel..I've lost no features, only gained performance and battery life. There is awesome development going on here. I can't name everyone, but its a good crowd. Loving my lgog and it's community.

Give RootBox a try. That has, by far, been my favorite ROM. Not just for the LGOG, but in general. houstonn is a boss when it comes to keeping it updated and it's been rock solid for me. I'm gonna pop a few new scripts on my battery tweaks thread that'll help with CPU scaling on smartmax and dancedance which should definitely help with screen on time. I was a stock freak as well.. Until we got RootBox.

Flash the ROM, then the new OG Pro AT&T modem, check to see if GPS is working, then flash the Nexus 4 .33 modem. Everything is flawless.

Yeah 160,i basically stole it, and back when this device first came out, I was on sprint, so i played with it in the store and really liked it, but was not sure about LG and it's support, plus the fact it launched with ics was a big turn off . But when I needed to sell the note, I needed something comparable as In quad core and ram, so I searched around almost got the nexus 4 but seen this for 160 and couldn't pass it up, for some reason they aren't that popular here and it had been listed for one for a week at 180. Only three others were in Milwaukee Craigslist, but they were 300+.this phone doesn't seem as well known as others for whatever reason.
Its a really awesome device and I'm impressed with it in every way including battery, surprisingly I don't really miss my note much but the build quality on this device is much better than the note.
I'm running it naked, i need a case badly as I'm starting to see scratching and such on the sides and back any recommendations?
So what's the benefits of running the op g pro radio and nexus 3.3?
I updated it to jelly bean as well, it had 3 updates before it finally got JB.

I just put an InvisibleShield on mine, which not only protects but Also gives it a slight texture, which makes it stop sliding around so much.

How much did it cost?

Still going strong with this device, really happy with it, love the fact that during screen off time or basic use like texting or whatever I leave on eco mode, then when I start doing more and see it start to shudder I turn off eco mode and nothing slows it down.

It's just like sports. There is a pre pregame. Then a pregame. Then the actual game.

The 4.3 update is coming for S3 and 4 in October, no word on Note 2.
He mentioned an update due for Note 2 in October, but didn't mention if it was 4.3 or not.
Any idea when they'll release pricing information? I am really interested in Gear.

If you are talking about the Gear I definitely agree. I was telling myself if it was under $100 I would definitely get it but this is just ridiculous. I don't understand why anyone would pay that much just so you don't have to check your phone. I mean it takes what 5 seconds, if that?

I bought a note 2 for it's massive screen, why would I want bypass that big beautiful screen with the tiny screen of the gear? I don't see a practical need for the gear at all.

It wouldn't be bad to be able to see a quick text or email without pulling my phone out. Also the camera would be great for creeper pics Anyone that pays $300 for that thing though is insane.
Galaxy Gear I love it! Expensive for sure, but then Samsung stuff always is when it first comes out - I'd say it'll be down to $200 in just a few months.
What I'm excited about is:
1) Microphone and speaker, so I can talk without holding a huge phone against my face!
2) Health sensors, so I can do my daily workout much more conveniently!
3) Camera, so I can merrily take pictures at the drop of a hat!
Pretty sweet I reckon - now I wonder what watch Apple have got up their sleeves lol

I can't find any confirmation that the gear will ever work with the note 2. All reports are note 3, note 10.1 and S4 after update.

the health sensors are what make me think this won't work on the note 2. Only the S4 and the note 3 have those built into the phone.
Personally, I'm more interested in the Qualcomm mirasol display watch. I don't like that the Samsung gear is going to be so locked into Samsung. But I don't think the qualcomm one is going to be widely available. Its more of a dev tester device.
There is a sticky thread for other devices
