I guess by default this is
Some key questions:
-Release date? Mid July is my guess.
-2/16 model or 3/32? Hoping the 3/32, or no buy.
-Wireless charging? Might be a separate purchase.
-Colors? I prefer black or gray.
-Will it be rootable? The Korean model roots easily, but VZW might have that "patched".
Then change the title and make it for us.
Hopefully they bring it real soon. Verizon is really slow in releasing new phones.
I personally can't wait I love the m8 I have now but it's such a waste of realistate

Yeah I might pick this up. My update is end of July. I want a rootable phone that isn't already dated. I love the S3. If either the S5 or G3 gets rooted and unlocked bootloader I will probably pick up that phone. I've never had an LG though

All carriers in the states which sells the G3 are not going to have wireless charging included, you have to buy another case for that.
They said <50$, which sucks.

I was initially interested in wireless charging my G2 when I first got it. But then I found out how excellent the battery is on it and I have NO trouble plugging it in overnight - the only time I've ever had to worry about charging it, and even if I forgot, I still have had at least 30% of a battery to start the next day.
As always, YMMV.

Dang it. A wireless charging back plate? If it's like an extra 20 $30 purchase and it replaces the battery cover I'm fine with that. but, if I have to put a case on it to Wireless charge it, screw that. Wireless charging has become a massive factor in my phone purchases. I've built my own little ecosystem around that and I'm not giving it up lol

How have you implemented wireless charging? I'm curious to get a phone with it but I haven't thought of any very useful implementations of it.
I bought the HTC One Max a couple days ago and I'm not a fan. My Note 2 had a home button, along with back and menu keys. Now I have to wake my One with the power button and if I use a custom launcher like Apex, I have no access to "recent apps" unless I configure the home key to use that. The camera is feature rich, but only 4 mp, but battery life is excellent as is the sound from the front-facing speakers. I also miss my email widget (although a custom rom would fix some of these complaints).
The knock to wake and a full set of softkeys on the G3, along with the laser camera look like compelling features to me. Even tho I have a case and holster (Amazon), I think I'll probably return my One.

The car dock I have is wireless Charing. Mix that with bt audio and it's nice. Start the car and go. Phones Charing and radio is ready. I have a pad inbeded in my nightstand and coffie table. if you combine that with how good the g2 battery is. The phone never needs to be plugged in.

Agreed on the data cap comment. The same thing will happen that happened with text messaging.
The car dock is the LG puck car dock. The link below has some good pictures of what it is. mine is completely molded into the car though. I like to make things look a little custom lol

It's not abuse, he just happens to be a heavy user. The justification networks use for implementing data caps is completely fabricated. Many people with the technical knowledge have commented on this. Data caps are just another revenue source for network operators, same goes for ISPs as well.

Got mine bright and early 9am! None of the stores in my area even knew they had it in stock. The rep I spoke to didn't even know specs, I had to teach him about the phone! lol
I have no less than 5 stores within a 10 mile radius to choose from, and the one closest to me said they have 5-6 in stock right now, so I'm hoping to God they have one left by the time I get out of work at 5:30! Otherwise I'll be calling around and crossing my fingers. I think I'll be safe though, doesn't seem to be a hugely advertised phone and from what I'm reading has been kind of on the DL, so hopefully A) Monday is a slow cell sales day and B) they don't have a ton of people looking for one. We shall see!
I sold my Charge and picked this up this morning. I'm very impressed with the screen over the Bionic!! I hated the blurring and motion issues of the Motorla's crappy screen. I'm very excited to start playing some HD movies and see how they look!

Exactly. Verzion has been promoting the sh*t out of the Razr and still is. Even on their website the good for nothing Razr takes the top slot, the Rezound is off in the backslides and that slide doesn't even say that it was released yet, it just says "more info" and you have to click to see the price and that it is in fact available for pickup.

there were 2 other people there for unrelated reasons
I got mine!
Just picked mine up at VZW. I called a few days ago and had them hold one until lunch time, just in case. What I can say about it so far:
Holy smudgy fingerprints Batman! They're all over the place. Maybe the VZW girl just had oily fingers: I don't know but the entire screen was hazy when I got to my car.
When did new phones become $299 instead of $199? My total price including early upgrade fee was $288. I got some kind of discount, but still really expensive.
Was concerned about size since I'm coming from an Incredible. My DInc has a silicone case so the actual size difference isn't that bad.
Fast. Wow, it's so fast that even using it takes a gentle touch. Much more sensitive than my DInc.
No idea about the 4g service yet. Haven't run any speed tests yet, but expect ~10 or 11 Mbps on 4g.
Just say no to the up-sell.
Comes with some kind of "you have to buy our micro-USB cable" that has little rails on the bottom I couldn't get a regular one to fit, maybe I didn't try enough.
Comes with a really neat Beats Audio/Monster(?) coin purse to put the headphones in.
The store didn't have may accessories on hand. Not likely that I'd buy any from them (maybe except the special USB cable) anyway but would have been nice to compare prices/selection.
The notification bar is well done. It has two panes. One for regular notifications. Another has recent apps, data usage, and some other cool stuff.

-sigh- almost 4 weeks of ownership and already having an issue. I just noticed these 2 highly visible white dots (to the left) just above of the capacitive buttons on my lcd. Only visible on white background though but i call tmo and instructed me to get to a local store so they can have one of the reps to look at it before replacement (awesome). I'll take a pic of it later prior to visiting the store.
sorry for the image quality but here it is. I tried taking a few shots of and this happened to be the best shot. What do you guys think caused this?

yeah its those 2 highly visible glares or dot when you look really close to it.. i've taken it using my digital camera (which obviously takes crappy image btw) and although it may be hard to see by others on the monitor - it is really visible in person. I'm still a little confused as to how this developed.

it's been taken care of and the replacement device is on its way... thankfully it was still covered by warranty. Not sure why it wouldn't be since i just got the phone 4 weeks ago lol
which leads me to my next question.... In regards to warranty that is. Is it worth it to add a PHP (Premium Handset Protection) bundle? I mean, i remember when it used to be $5.99 (i believe) and i just noticed after ordering a replacement device - Tmo added that feature on my plan. Current cost is $7.99 which is still not bad but is it really worth it shelling out 8 bucks for something that can be prevented? I'm pretty anal when it comes to protecting my device (thanks to protective TPU case) and i hardly drop it by accident. However, "****" does happen to anyone when you least expect it. What do you guys think?
It can be worth it in case something happens like theft or out of warranty. But generally they offer you crap and try to say it's comparable.
Did they say you still have option for insurance? Generally unless you get it when the phone was new you can't add it on later

That's what i'm thinking but no, the rep never said anything or made any suggestions as far as adding it on my plan. I check my account frequently and that was the only time i discovered that it was added the day the replacement transaction was made. However, she did mention that even though my device was still covered by warranty, i was charged with $20 for device exchange since i didn't have the PHP feature added to my plan versus $5 bucks if i had it. -shrugs- eh its whatever. Atleast i know i'll have a brand spanking new device in a couple of days and HOPEFULLY.. yes.. hopefully... the annoying screen bleed on the bottom (normal build issue) with the device won't have it. lol
i just started a 2 year with tmobile and got the amaze for free. im wondering if this was a bad idea. i dont like the one phone because it lacks a dedicated camera button and some other stuff I dont like about it (its too thin actually). worst case I cancel for 200 and use this phone on straight talk until a better phone comes out I can start a new 2 year with.

that's a good point too... I too recently just switched from Individual plan to family plan (even though I'm the only one who's truly going to be using both devices) because i wanted this device (amaze) ever since its debut. Not a fan of One series either because of.. well.. a few things that i've come to expect on a high end device which lacks of... availability to expand storage, option to pull battery, dedicated cam shutter. To stay on point - isn't there a policy or something that after you cancelled your service there's a 1-3 month waiting period again before you can sign up???.. -shrugs-
From what I could find it doesn't.. But just wanted to get a clear answer.

Get a mophie or some other wireless charging/extra battery case for it.. it'll obviously definitely add to the size/weight of the phone tho over a standard case.. I wouldn't get the cheap chinese one's off ebay tho, horrible things that don't last long at all.

Yeah ive tried 2-3 different Chinese ones, although admittingly they were for my iPhone and not the HTC one. They were great for the first month or two and then and then they all started having issues. 1 would fail to charge ever again regardless of charger, another failed to hold a charge for longer than ~4hrs, another would constantly cycle charging on/off while switched on and trying trying to charge the phone. Just had a bad experience overall and waiting a month+ for RMA is a bit much. Much better to get a legit one for these reasons at a place where you can RMA in your own country if you ever need it.

I called Sprint and they reluctantly agreed to send me a return kit. Terrible. So, I packed it up and then noticed something on the floor. The stupid little plastic camera guard had fallen off the phone when I removed the back, and one of the stupid itty bitty feet had broken off. I put it back in the best I could. It's Sprint's problem now.

Every manufacturer has product defects, consider yourself unlucky.
I bought my Note 3 directly from a Sprint Retailer, went in and said "I'm a developer, don't **** me around" and I spent an extra hour in the store configuring my device and testing its functionality before I purchased it. Your dollar is your vote. Make it count.
How would be my life if I return every single item I own because I heard others saying bad things or complaining about it? Maybe I could living under a rock right now.
But seriously man, that is bad luck. Mine is flawless so far. I hope it stays that way, knock on wood Justin case.

Mine has been fine so far. I have had a few call issues here and there but it's not constant and not something that makes my phone unusable like some people have stated so I honestly don't think that part of it is the phone itself or Sprint. I personally think it's software related. This is a whole new device for Sprint as far as Samsung goes as well as a new OS too. Things are way different than previous Samsung devices. Not even the S4 shipped with 4.3. In a nutshell I have no complaints here and now that I am seeing some LTE popping up around places in Phoenix AZ that I spend time, I'm pretty happy with it.

I had a few dropped calls and so I called sprint and talked to them for about an hour. And the supervisor assured me that in one week tops the problem would stop. They were updating the towers here and I gotta say It stopped the next day and no more problems at all. And as for a lot of people having these problems sprint is updating their entire network so there will be dropped calls and bad quality here and there. I'm glad i got a good unit I'm loving it.

I have pretty much had note phones since they launched and was all set to get a note 5 when I saw they removed the SD and battery stuff so now I am on the hunt for something else and saw the V10. Does LG try to block rooting phones or anything like Samsung had for security knox? Any major issues or anything come up with this phone or LG? I am a bit set on just getting one since it's one of the few phones that still have some of the features I want but I've never dealt with LG before
I came from the Note series and I'm very happy. Rooting is easy, no knox type security.

Thanks, at first I was worried about giving up the s-pen before my brain reminded me I hadn't used the thing in four months so the more I look at this phone the more sure I am about grabbing one after work. Since you had a note does this screen seem smaller or did you not even notice the switch?

i believe the screen is the same size, but you have the on-screen navbar rather than the off-screen physical buttons of the Note.
ive been a huge Note fan but i too am considering this device. i saw it in the Tmo store and was immediately drawn to it. i see some users with car bluetooth issues tho, so that's making me hesitate just a tad. but we'll see, maybe we'll both end up getting it. with a plethora of storage and the promo giveaways they are drawing some of us in haha.

Yeah not gonna lie, I saw the free battery, charger and SD card till the 15th and thought well maybe I should just jump on it. The bluetooth issues seem odd since it's user an older BT and not the new one like the note 5 has but my car is behind the times because I love it far to much so all I got is an aux port which from how the headset line is setup is gonna sound pretty good maybe even not need to edit the volume settings to make it louder like I did with the note 4.
I just really can't accept a phone without a removable battery and an SD slot on it. I know it's not for everyone but when you have had one for years you find it very hard to go without and after poking around on google it seems my choices are slim.

ah, i forgot about good ol' line out. but i dunno, i may get one and just test out everything within my return period.
yeah, non-removable battery makes me nervous, but even tho i had spare batteries for the Notes, i never needed them! but not being able to store everything i want, without an OTG drive, is an inconvenience for sure. keep us posted on what you end up doing..
Edit: by the way, i think LG holds promise. they made the Nexus 4, which a friend of mine used for over 3 years! and i had the Optimus G briefly, buying from a friend to help him with financial problems, and it seemed very solid and was maybe the most powerful phone at the time.
I'm. In the same boat as you guys, needed the storage and battery. As far as the spen, you have the screen capture (which is mostly where I needed to use the spen), where you can write on it with your finger. Not as nice as the spen, but if you want to use a stylus, you have that option.

I called the shop and will pick one up tonight, I forgot that we can return it in 14 days without any issues so I will just take it for a test drive and see. I keep hearing mixed reviews the more I read of them today.

Not if it's within 14 days at least from a real tmobile store. I did it with another phone a few upgrades back and didn't have an issue, just say the phone isn't for you or you can't get signal like on the old phone.
Isn't there a $50 restocking fee? That's what I was always told.

Yeah I keep reading that and it's the only reason I haven't gone to try T-mobile with this phone (would be coming from AT&T). If I find service isn't what I hope for I don't want to pay that $50 restocking fee.

i ended up picking one up myself, and i honestly don't think you'll be disappointed. it's way cool! feature-rich yet seems to maintain a light and snappy feel. and i'm glad to say bluetooth music works fine, it even auto-connects when i start the car, just takes maybe 10-15 seconds longer than my previous Notes.

They are charging me a restocking fee for returning the Note5. Got the 64 GB one with the wireless charger so I had to pay $215 up front. This phone costs $49 up front (doing jump and monthly installment). Actually saved me money for a phone I enjoy more.

I was nervous when I jumped from my note 5 a week ago, at first i was more interested in jumping to the galaxy s6 edge plus.for me I always felt the note or edge series can do no wrong, but it felt like the whole time I was being cheated, never understood why til I seen the LG v10 I felt that way. LG is doing the whole more for less thing and I feel more justified paying $600 for a device

There is the fee but honestly if I keep the phone for a week and change I think it's fair. Better 50 and find another phone or 600 for a phone you aren't happy with. Kinda pissed the clerk at the store off when I told him that logic, forgot how much the people in tmobile stores rub me the wrong way till last night. Almost an hour to upgrade my phone, none of that was waiting it was all the sales stick after I said I just want the V10 and nothing else I even said I will pay full price for it right now if you will shut up.

Just started playing with it today it feels nicer then my note 4 and a bit quicker but could be I haven't brainraped this phone yet. But from feel and look alone I do think it seems a fair price for what I got and the free stuff LG is also a nice bonus. I hope development on this phone picks up to the same levels as the note did. Damn it samsung why did you have to take away my SD and battery.
