Lg Optimus P970, a great buy??

Devs/gurus
Have a few Q's b4 i pick up the LG P970
1.Is the nova display as good as it claims? bettr than Amo-led?I need to run in sunlite all the time, as i stay in india?
2.Is there gingerbread coming in Sept?
3.How good is this fone 4 rooters? id like to root, flash custom recoveries and custom roms including CyanogenMod ?
4.I have heard the multimedia capabilities are impressive? Is that really true?
Id really appreciate it if some1 can help all these answers
Current fone- G Nexus 1, rooted, and CM7

1. Display is nice, quite handy in bright sunlight but it chugs battery like hell (even though LG claims is 50% more energy efficient than amoled) and viewing angles are not as good as amoled's.
2. Only LG knows that and so far they didn't give ant solid release date at the moment.
3. It is rootable, either by gingerbreak or by superOneClick (with some additional help for newer ROMs), as for the custom roms, well there is only one ant it's more of a tweaked stock than a standaolone custom, no Cyanogenmod for sure.
4. I wouldn't call it impressive, they are well... normal.

Ehmm IPS vs AMOLED in power consumtion. Definetly amoled wins. IPS still needs led backlight, amoled film, no.
Viewing angle is acceptable because the IPS is not the same as iphone's, I think the class is lower. But still, readable under sunlight.
Multimedia hmmm... for me is a bit below good.
Cyanogen is only a dream... the only LG device that officially supported is P990. Don't worry, we have NOVA

thanks 4 Discouraging me from buying the fone! looks like there is nothing special apart from da ips/nova display itself and prolly the flash on Camera(which galaxy s does not)
best to stick 2 a tried and tested fone like the S!Good 2 no it can be rooted with super1 Click
Im outta here! thanks 4 all ur help
have a good 1

this is a good phone if you think the monitor is most important. but it is a poor phone for the battery life

Nice phone with high potential, but bad battery life and low updates.
Personaly, I'm waiting for the lumix phone by panasonic. I think about changing my OB for this one or the Xperia Ray. It will depend if ICS will come for our OB.

For the price,yes.
Other one is Galaxy W.

Between the LG Optimus P970 and P990, Which would be the better phone? The price is almost no difference (around $50) But I actually like the design of the P970 better.

I think if the p970 had had an amoled and dual core pro then it would have been the MOST EPIC AND ULTIMATE PHONE EVER!
.....but it doesn't....
Can't beat the design of the phone though, just love how flat and sleek it is.
Oh well.

I fell in loved with the Design, Weight and Feel. The CPU is not High End but currently it's under utilized. Don't worry because ICS will fully utilize the power it has.

[AWARDS] Vote O4X on XDA's most powerful phone 2012

[AWARDS] Most Powerful Phone of 2012 so far is the LG Optimus 4X HD
Link is here

sorry, i voted s3..
if there's a 2nd, i'd vote 4x hd, but never 1st

Why? It isn't so why vote for it?

performance wise it is, comparing SIII and hardware tests i tried with a stock mobile.
do not compare whatever hack a wanna be kernel hacker can get out of something for x number of minutes.
o4x got performance, sdhc card, battery replacement support , colour accurancy.
most powerful does not in my mind include an unlocked mobile, if you look at raw facts but for the rest it is still one step behind oneX, but thats xda style

bootloader and kernel tweaks is one of the reasons but even hardware wise, s3 can, even though by a small margin, outperform 4x hd and one x.

my one personal test and those random tests found on xda, shows s3 is a little slower generally when stock rom is used. i prefer to compare what i got and not what is impossible to achieve on o4x currently.

our device lags too..
in a test, if both devices had a fully optimized kernel
and a similar rom, say cm10,
i'm sure s3 would out perform o4x
in terms of benchmark, and most probably in terms of standard usage

did not take me long to get a benchmark of the old firmware on oneX very close up to S3 here
if we continue with stock performance, we have already seen 12000+ on o4x, which compared to this beats s3 in a benchmark test.
S3 is close to ours but still design,quality of o4x and its better colours (not worse btb using fake black turnoff led solution).
i would say you didnt go wrong on o4x if you compare the complete picture.
edit: remember, i would have the OneX here, if it was not for the €150 difference in Denmark initially, i was simply not gonna invest that much more in pretty much the same hardware. so its not a LG thing, i got. but we can probably compare those 2 down to the hardware, with exceptions to display,bt and touch.

Cleaned thread.

S3 is smashing it lol.

in design and quality....there is no way s3 could win 4X HD
4X HD just need some optimization to unlock its full potential....also im one happ 4X HD owner now

I choose the LG over the S3 more on looks, I like a brick phone, hate curves, I found the s3 nicer to use and screen more responsive, but I went for LG for hopefully ROMS that will cure the little software niggles

+1. I hated how my S3 felt so much more like a toy compared to my 4xHD. Build quality hands down goes to the 4XHD...even the HTC doesn't match up, especially with its screen glitches most were having problems with.

[SCREEN] Yellow spot when CPU gets warm [Poll]

Hey guys,
I got my N4 8G last week on Friday and the first what I saw when the CPU gets a little bit warmer (during Benchmarks or heavy use)
I can see a ugly Yellow spot on the Screen near where the CPU sits, as seen on ifixit.
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4ESb_YBhAxITkd0SExNLUNablk
Did any of you guys have the same issue or should I replace the phone as soon as they are available again?

I don't get this trend with warm CPUs. My Galaxy Nexus used to get really hot sometimes but it never had any impact on screen quality, didn't make yellow spots or anything else.
Yesterday, I was charging the N4, while streaming and HD movie at full screen brightness. Nothing. Wasn't warm. Neither was it warm when I ran three benchmarks after one another.
Try turning on FORCE GPU RENDERING in Developer Options.

Either you are trolling or are completely oblivious to temperature changes. This phone gets really hot, because LG doesn't know crap about proper thermal design. Google was stupid not to choose Sony for this Nexus, but I'm assuming they're waiting for Sony to use Quad Cores. I'm confident that the next Nexus phone will be a Sony. I can't wait.

Yeah, no. Not trolling. Mine just doesn't get hot. Turning on Force GPU Rendering solved that same issue when I was having it with the Gnex. Force GPU takes load of the CPU, so it doesn't get hot.
I don't know what else to tell you, it's just doesn't get warm/hot for me.

Dude, why don't you just chill. And while you're chilling, pick up a new phone while you're at it since your's is getting hot.
And "completely oblivious to heat"? Right now, I can tell you that it's 10C outside in Berlin and it's a big difference to when it was 35C. Seems to me like you're just making a big deal out of a little heating. It's a quad core processor, what do you expect?

The Phone gets hot because the CPU burns allot of energy is has bothing to do with the phone design.
The main problem is that google totally f****d up CPU power management, why it the CPU locked at 1Ghz when the screen is on, why does it scale to 1.5 GHz when you touch the screen?? which results in swyping and typing killing the battery.

I'm pretty sure that's because of Project Butter. I'd take a little heat for some better performance/visuals any day.

Not sure what the issue is here. My GDS got hot when gaming, charging, etc asvdoes my nexus 7, my laptop, my pic and every other device I have ever owned.
The issue though is the great really causing some type of an issue with the glue? I would guess they would know but then again who knows..

Haven't done the yellow spot test yet. So can't tell.
The way I do the test: Install StabilityTest, set screen brightness to 100%, run CPU+GPU Test, wrap phone in a blanket and try get the temperature to 40C or above, then check with a white background.

302k Nexus vs 304k Nexus

I figured i should post this as it struck me as kinda odd...I got my new Nexus 4 today, My original had a small gap on the right side of the phone between the chrome and back section, and I wanted to compare the two so I ran some small test like Youtube, Browser, ect..the newer Nexus for some reason seemed just a little bit snappier..I then ran Antutu Benchmark and the scores were not close....Original has been factory reset..Both phones are completely stock and all settings were the same..Any thoughts are welcome
BTW phone on the left is original 302K. The one on the right is the newer 304K.
Sorry about the pic...took it with my girls LG Optimus L9..

Since the number only refers to the month of manufacture, it is likely that there are no differences. The few differences that might influence score would be outside temperature, internal phone temperature (one might be warmer/colder than the other internally, affecting speeds) and throttling engaged during the benchmark itself.

Exactly the same apps and accounts that sync on both phones? What was the temperature of the left phone? It lacks in the 3D test, so it could be possible that it got hot enough for the GPU to get throttled. To test this, you could wipe both phones to complete stock and ensure they both have no extra app downloaded, and install a custom kernel that raises the throttle temperature higher. If they come out roughly the same, it probably means you handled the left phone more than the right so it was already warmer and thus, reached the stock throttle temperature, or that the new Nexus 4 is better at dissipating the extra heat.
And i think the "seemed just a little bit snappier" may well be a placebo as stock Nexus 4 has some pretty aggressive mpdecision stuff that ensures the experience is as smooth as can be.

304K has a yellow tint like screen. Maybe its just the picture or the camera you used and the left phone can be throttled so assuming they have both stock rom and kernel without undervolt the newer 304K has lower temperatures.

My 302 k stock higher than your 304 .. It doesn't matter which "newer" version the nexus is. It works the same and the interior specs is the same. Threads about how 304 is different are pointless

I'm thinking they're not as "identically" set up as we're made to believe, like the alarm on the old phone and the no cellular service

It mainly depends on the variant of the s4 and any external variables that may trigger the throttling.

Disappointed

I am very disappointed with this device. Since I bought this phone always had problems.
Starting from overheating when I'm playing something.
Then the side of the device begins to peel.
Then mold spots appear on the screen.
Then this whole bootloader, rom buggy, etc.
If this device was really good, I do not feel the need to change rom and make the machine go through so many updates. The handset comes with manufacturing a critical bug in the camera. Among other problems. Now I finally got my braces bad time. If I can not fix it I have to leave for Samsung.
I'm no novice user. I've had three devices of Lg.
Lg Optimus One Phone = Bug Phone.
Lg Optimus 2x = Bug Phone.
And now the Lg Optimus 4x = Hd Bug Phone.
I am seriously evaluating getting a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Visit the forum of this device in Xda. Hardly find complaints about it.
Lg P880 I bought this because it is cheaper, but now I find that cheap actually ends up costing too high.

Mold spots? If that's true you can't really blame the phone 'cause moisture = mold.
Also, try playing games on any phone and it will get hot. This goes for literally any device on the planet.

Yep same here the "quad core+1" tegra 3 "blazing fast" cpu is one real bad cpu to start with, it sucks for real tasks and overheats for that matter. the screen isn't like the other hd ips screens it has a yellow temperature tint unlike the others the blues look desaturated the most out of all the colors and it feels cheaply made.

please define your "overheating"
overheating is when your device powers off, due to 90°C processor temperature...
the tegra 3 default throttle temp is 85°C, LG's is 71°C... i changed the value in my custom kernel to 80°C, so we can get a better performance also with high temps...
and have you ever been thinking what's working in your device? you've got 4 CPU cores and 1 GPU core... now think of a normal PC, what does a normal PC have, what a phone doesn't? right, a fan. or cooling in general. so the higher temps are completely normal...

Somewhere is problem.

And stock rom? Buggy? I havent any stopped aplication since i have this phone, lg launcher is really good.
For me, only bad is camera and sound output with stock player (so im using poweramp )

Meh, another complaining thread.. Personally, I don't even care about and i predict i'm not alone with that.
If u don't like the phone, just sell it, what's the problem?
And i don't see any overheating problems, what are You launching, Crysis from PC?

I think this is the best phone for this price.many phones is the same like ours but cost too much.desighn is verry cool,we dont have many roms and kernels because we just unlocked ours bootloaders and i think we have to wait little more for more stuf.

Play your games in the fridge! All quad cores get hot! The Samsung amoled screens are horrible! I fancy an s3 because I am a mobile gamer, but if kholks new kernel can give me the performance I was expecting then no way! Everything else about this phone is so much better than Samsung!

If you have any problems like bubbles under the screen or excessive-myfingersareburning-overheating you should probably use your warranty and get this device checked by authorized personel. Personally, I had none of these problems you mentioned. Phone is rooted, bootloader is unlocked, CyanogenMod is happily running "under the hood". Stock ROM was pretty good for me, but CM is CM. You can't say 'no' to CM. If you don't like this phone, then sell it. Note 2 is indeed a powerful device, I'm sure that you'll be happy with it. But! This phone has yet to show its true power through custom ROMs and kernels. My old 2010 flagship - HTC Desire - got ROM with JB and Touchwiz5 powered by awesome custom kernel, so I really have no doubts that our O4X, which is 10 times stronger than Desire, will get some sick modifications sooner or later (starting with EternityProject kernel and CM 10.1). Cheers! :highfive:

But my 4X is built very well (id like to see what you guys mention as 'bubbles' under your screen, was it like that since you brought it?) the phone does get ridiculously hot (you might have seen my thread about my screen suffering major distortion for a few hours, due to overheating while on ac charge ), but again well within tegra 3 specs (this this is stock clocked at 1.5ghz which is 200mhz higher than my tf300t tablet which has much more room to dissipate heat)
Im in love with the design of the phone, only issue i have is i feel the back button is on the wrong side but i use LMT launcher anyway(if you don't know what it is i suggest you look it up). The stock firmware was fine(no issues) other than feeling bloated, stock jellybean was slightly smoother and a bit lighter, CM10.1 is absolutely amazing and in my opinion increases the value of the phone drastically.
Just my take on it.....

i've got these bubbles, too... but i don't care
but be careful with the temp, the temp you see is the battery temp, not the processor temp

I know, I look at temperature shown in hidden menu > cpu usage.

My last phone was a One X and this is on a par at least with that, except in gaming until I at least hope custom kernels will change that.
