Everyone who sees the phone loves the build quality and the screen, especially iphone users. They also love the animation when the screen turns off. I think some people are definitely considering it after seeing mine!

The build quality is really amazing...feels like a solid hunk of glass.
Agreed.
My roommate got the SG3 a few days before I got my LGOG.
I don't think she got enough hands-on time with this phone in the store and is regretting her purchase.
Yeah. Build quality is indeed great. Except for the flimsy and cheap feeling power and volume buttons. I have the ATT version. I don't know if other versions have better quality buttons.
This is probably the highest quality phone I've ever had. It really does have a solid feel and even though it feels heftier, its thinner than my sgs2

If I remember correctly, I think the Sprint version has a bit of a classier look.
http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/LG-Optimus-G-AT-T---Sprint-Review_id3154
If you scroll down a bit you can see a pop-up comparison of the two.
The buttons are nice, but really slim so I feel we have a bit of an advantage as an AT&T customer.
Not to mention the AT&T's version design is just beautiful. Prefer it over Sprint's any day.
All three versions are beautiful imo. No expandable storage and sparse LTE makes the Sprint version a no buy for me.
I have the AT&T version and tbh I'm a little jealous of the Sprint one. It's a little thinner but taller which is what I would prefer. But other than that one little nitpick I love this phone.

But the Sprint version doesn't have the power button notification light does it? Also, I am in an area that requires an Airrave to get Sprint service (less than .5MB) and getting 10MB down in same spot. It took me a bit to find battery % in settings/battery saver then down at the bottom although I am happy to have it

The Sprint version has a front light led by the ear pieces rather than a power button light.

Do Sprint users have the same infrequent LED problem or is that just AT&T? The LED by the power button is nice and all...but problem is I rarely see it unless I'm looking for it.

By normal do you mean every 30 seconds? Because that is the flash rate of the LED light. I have the Sprint version and it bothers the heck out of me.
Sent from my super fast Optimus G!!!
Yeah that seems to be LG's "normal" flashing rate, haha. Not sure who came up with that idea.
That LED interval is really annoying.
I love the look of the LED on the power button... but it is a little out of the way. I feel like it was treated like the ugly step-child that has to stay out of sight when company is over...
That coupled with the flash rate almost guarantee that I don't notice a notification.
I'm used to being able to change the flash frequency with CM and Miui.
My old phone was set to like 3 seconds. Haha. Just had to glance over and had a really strong idea if I had a notification or not.
Oh well, the phone is still solid and sexy as anything.
Blows my old phone out of the water every other way.
(On a side note, anybody know if the LED can do other colors? I really liked having a aqua/cyan colored LED.)

I'd like to confirm this as well. I think the AT&T LG Optimus G (E970) only has a red LED notification light around the power/wake button.

I switched mine off looks so much better, per sonly I wish it was all black like the nexus s, i think that looks so sexy
Have it too, but dont matter !! I am a perfectionist too ( 620 euros it is for a phone !! ) but i think... i mean ... returning it for this????
If it is same as anyone elses in here its BARELY visible and you should try to find it again.. enjoy your phone. ( there are great chances of getting a same unit back, cause its a design thing i think )
Hey,

The brightness of the Flash LEDs on the Rezound has nothing to do with the app you use

or it can also be the fact that on my incredible i had cm7 and had torch which pushed the leds to their limit and made them really hot but i just loved that flashlight helped out when i needed to look for something in the dark
again, as a.mcdear pointed out - this is a 100% hardware capability thing. while some software might not set the same brightness levels in settings, the limits are the limits of the hardware.

Sure, and you can hook them up to a car battery and they will explode, but that does not mean that another app can miraculously cause the hardware to deliver more power to the Flash LEDs. The fact is that the torch setting on any app is probably already using the maximum brightness that the hardware is capable of.
Snowman is not making things up. The nexus torch on the Incredible would overpower both LEDs at once for a crazy bright light. When I would run non-CM7 ROMs on my Incredible, I always looked for an alternative app that did the same thing, but never could. Most could only run one of the two LEDs. If they could light both at once, they were not overpowered.

Enter a dark room and turn on any of the available flashlight apps. Then, turn it off and take a picture with flash on. No comparison.

Yeah the torch app on the incredible was so bright that every time you turn it on it had a warning popup saying not to leave it on long because it would melt **** lol
No offense, but if having a bright flashlight is really this important to you, why not just get an actual flashlight?
Otherwise, if you're in a pinch and just need a quick light, the rezound is definitely bright enough for illuminating a dark area (like putting your keys in the car door in an unlit parking lot)
I still have my incredible (gf uses it actually) so I know how bright that app is.
What I was saying is that the rezound is clearly capable of the same bright flashlight as the incredible. The incredible one turns on the leds as if to flash while taking a picture but keeps the lights on. I see no reason why the rezound could not do the same. Now do I know how to get that working at the moment - no. But I'm interested enough to do some research and I'll post what I find.

Anyone else hear something rattling around when you tap on the back around the camera and micro SIM???
Sent from my HTC Droid DNA
Not me, mine's extremely solid (except for the fact that my charging port cover likes to stick out a bit..). Maybe the SIM tray isn't in all the way? Try pushing on that a bit and see if it helps.
If you tap the phone and feel a slight vibration in the phone (and may hear it), that is probably the vibrate motor.
Otherwise, my phone is extremely solid, probably the most solid phone I've had.
Hmm I'm go Verizon and compare with their display its really driving me nutz
Sent from my HTC Droid DNA
well i went to verizon to show them the rattling and they claim that its the camera bezel and they all do that. I said bs and wanted to exchange and they said no it doesn't hinder the performance of the phone.. lol so i said ok i want to return it. mind you after paying full retail. SO they go back and open 3 new dna's and sure enough all of them rattled when you tap on the top ??... wtf i thought i had owned them but they owned me. are you sure yours doesn't rattle?
I checked mine and there is a slight rattle and from what I can tell its the power button on top.

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Yep. Most of the time I'm using the phone for voice chat (phone call or VOIP usually), the phone is face down. It automatically switches to speaker when the phone is face down so all you need to do is either hit call or hit answer and place the phone on your coffee table while you work. Very convenient feature and you don't have to worry about missing notifications while it's face down because of the rear notification light. This also applies when you leave the room for a bit and return. I personally love the feature but from what I've heard, other people consider it a nuisance. To each his own I suppose.
I haven't really noticed it, seems kinda useless.

Problem solved
Hard to say. I loved my G2 for the first few days:
- Unitl the touchscreen became unpredictable, making it impossible to reliably pick from lists, scroll, enter text, or even pull down the notification shade.
- Until I found out that ths touchscreen issue is far-reaching, affecting many G2 users,and so far LG has not recognized this as an issue
- Until I had to exchange my G2 - not an easy process via WireFly.com
I have another on the way. If this second one does not have this issue, I'll rate my G2 experience a 9/10. If I can enter text, scroll, pick, otherwise "USE" my phone, it'll be a great thing.
If it also exhibits this touchscreen issue, I'll rate it a 0/10 and I'll return it for another phone.
If you had to rate my satisfaction as of this moment, I'd have to say 5/10, as it could go either way.
want: unlocked bootloader, and kitkat.
bad: speaker placement. I know the IPhone and proably some other phones have speakers on the bottom like the LG G2. well it turns out tha thats the most stupid place to put the speaker. In landscape mode its pretty hard to hold it in a way to not cover the speaker entirely. but i guess, i am just holding it wrong.
I've never ever saw or heard anyone on Iphone complain about that. (they are used to holding it wrong i guess)
Very satisfied... The nav buttons can be a little annoying at times but the G2 Xposed app helps.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
I'm satisfied with it, meaning that it meets my expectations plus a little.The G2 has some cool things about it for sure. The big battery, back buttons, knock on-off, the UI is good, and latest processor. I wish it had temp and humidity sensors though, the speaker and nav buttons in a different place, and a SD Card slot. The camera on mine is great as long as I'm in bright light, but indoors I have a hard time getting a good picture. I do like the display but I have to keep the brightness cranked way up to appreciate it which burns a lot of juice. If I keep the brightness down around 50 to 60% it's pretty bland looking.
I happen to like the S4's display and camera better than the G2 but that's just personal preference. The temp and humidity sensors come in handy at work and that's probably why I end up carrying the S4 more often than the G2.
I am very happy with the G2. Battery is fantastic and i love the interface. I came from an HTC One and this phone is a beast compared to that. Does lose 5% b/c of no sd card slot but i can use my HTC one as my music player now!
9/10 Just because I never give a 10. There are quirks with every phone. Overall very satisfied.
