Trading the Note 3?

Someone offered to trade me his LG G2 + $100 for my Note 3. Would any of you consider doing that? I can't decide. The only thing holding me back is the resale value of the Note 3.

Why would you wanna trade it?
what is the resale value of LG G2?
what is the resale value of your N3?

I did it recently and I'm back on note 3 . Don't do it imo the LG g2 lags and stutters it's only o 4.2.2 and it needs work. The note 3 is where it's at and plus CES is going on there will be new stuff on the way the note is worth more anyhow around 550 resale still. In other words stay for a while

I've been offered the same deal. My bro n law has the G2. It's a nice device, but just can't bring myself to give up on this beast of a beast!!!

I'm thinking LG and the carrier partners will soon abandon software support for the G2. There are rumors that the G3 is almost ready for market, with the fact that everyone is watching what Samsung is doing the GS5, LG might do an early release. The AT&T model of the G2 has CarrierIQ onboard and actively collecting data. I would say that's otherwise not too big of an issue, but from what I'm reading there's a pretty serious battery drain flaw with how CIQ operates the GPS in the phone. Plus other issues which I think will take awhile to be sorted out.
The G2 is a really nice device that failed to find an audience and will suffer support-wise as a result.

No shock there, the LG G Pro AT&T model had Carrier IQ and it would ping the GPS constantly. Heaven forbid you were inside out of satellite view, it would just run your GPS ragged trying to get a lock. Oh and LG not releasing any software updates is the norm. Ask any G Pro or Optimus G owners.

i recently got an LG g2 for 250 on craigslist. got it because it was cheap, then resold it for 375, for profit to go towards my note 3, which i now have.
EDIT: no one around my area was willing to do LG G2 + cash for note 3.

Yea the g2 resale is horrible and will only become worst with rumors of the g3 on the horizon, I sold one last week for 400 on swappa I was surprised I got that much for it.

LG G3 to Note 4

Hi all,
Thinking about taking advantage of my available jump upgrade and going to the Note 4. The biggest thing that is making me want to do that is the oversharpening effect that is present on the G3. For whatever reason, LG decided to artificially sharpen their screen and it makes the quality of things like text and icons look terrible because of a halo effect that is generated. Has anyone that currently has a G3 gotten a chance to compare the devices? If so, does Samsung have anything similar happening on their screen? I would go to Best Buy myself and look, but there aren't any on display at the one local to me.

I wish I remembered the source, but I read somewhere that Samsung did NOT do any over sharpening. I distantly remember them comparing it to the G3 and saying it was far better. From what I could tell at Best buy (their G3 was just a dummy, but the note 4 was working) the screen was fantastic. Easily the best I've ever seen.

Awesome. That is my biggest gripe with the LG G3. 75% of the time the text looks awful because LG decided to go gimmicky and ruin the screen. Looks like I know what I'll be doing on the 17th. My ETF reimbursement should be here by then so I'll just use my Jump.

I own a G3 and went to a best buy today and played with the Note 4. To me i like the G3 screen better the phones has the same resolution Note is bigger which means less pixels per inch but both screens are great. I was suprised how nice the shape of the Note 4 is doesnt feel bulky or to big kindve like the Note 3 did at first to me.

I believe I saw some hacks that fix the oversharpening. So if that's the only reason, you might want to do some googling to see if it saves you some money.
I want to switch because G3 overheats when using GPS an charging at the same time. Just waiting to see if there are any major issues with Note 4 and when root and accessories (Qi cover) become available.

Hi,
Would love to know where you came across the hacks. I've googled but no real joy. There is one to disable hardware overlay and increase resolution by one but it did not work for me.
Sharpening is the only gripe I have. I absolutely hate it, there's no reason for it, and LG will not answer my mails on the issue. The min brightness on the G3 is too high compared to other phones so apps like LUX only highlight the sharpening.
I have no over heating on GPS while charging though.

Literally can not wait to dump the G3. I'm on my second one. I don't think I've ever owned a device I hated more. Love the camera though. Note 4 can not come fast enough. One of my favorite devices ironically was the G2. Go figure.

Im moving on from the lg g3 too for no other reason than ive had notes before and imo its the best phone samesung makes.
SkyDragon G3

Lg g3 sucks. Plain and simple. Note 4 hurry up
g3 soon to be NOTE 4

Coming from the g3 im thinking about jumping ship myself. The keyboards suck and the phone just aint that popular among devs. Not sure if i should go with note 4 or wait for the nexus 6?

You think the note 4 will be better than nexus? I never had a moto before and dont know many people that do.

OK well better not sure I would call it that. Never had good luck with droids but this is nexus so it a different story. They have a lot of devs. If the note 4 devs come together like the post says they will this note will be epic.
g3 soon to be NOTE 4

I too am in the box of deciding between the G3 and the note 4. I LOVE this G2. No complaints at all with it. But oddly enough my opening questions about the note are..
-does the rooted version include a knock on/off feature?
-is there a notification dropdown quick key like the one used on the g2?

Had the Note 4 since Monday last week, from the LG G3. So happy. Can't say enough good things.

I had lg g2 and lg g3 now note 4 I believe lg g2 to me qorked better than lg g3 for me battery drained faster only had like 2 and a half on screen time and phone died wifi kept cutting out on same place note 4 has service so for me note 4 is great love it

As you can see below I've had a lot of Samsung phones. Never had a problem with any of them even after flashing ROM's, Kernels and radios. My note 3 went for a ride in the washer back in July and ruined it. So I replaced it with a LG G3 and really love the phone. No over heating or lag like others have complained about. No yellowish or blueish screen. Knock on is great, camera is great, so I had no intentions on buying the Note 4. Today I went to best buy to get a pair of Bose QC25 headphones and just happen to walk by the Samsung kiosk and there was a working Note 4. So I picked it up and played with it a minute and right of the bat I realized that I missed having an AMOLED screen. Before I left Best Buy I called 6 T-Mobile stores here in the Tampa area and not a 1 had the Note 4 in stock. So I came home and ordered one online. After I checked out I got the back ordered message So i guess I'll be a Note user again whenever it arrives. Said 10/30, so we'll see. Glad to see there's root available already.

There is a few minor software glitches but no show stoppers. Note 4 is an excellent device. I almost had my m8 paid for so I bought a Sim adapter and switch between the m8 and note 4. M8 is crazy butterly smooth and fast , the note 4 a little slower but is not lacking in any thing and will be on top in its class with updates for at least a bit. LG g3 is a decent device as well but the note 4 in my opinion takes the cake.

Nothing yet... I'm not ready to get rid of my N4 just yet, and nothing available/just announced is more appealing atm. If I was into small screens however, the LG G5 would be so hard to resist. The more that I've read about it in the last couple days, the more impressed I am. Not sure if you read much about it, but check out the last few pages of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/glad-note-4-samsung-screws-note-line-t3157384 where I was reading up on it, and posted a few times after coming across some details about the device that were just too killer to keep to myself!
I'll probably be looking at new phones around when the N6 comes out. I'm really hoping that LG puts out a bigger brother to the G5 by then though. The slot that the battery slides out of and the modular accessories that can be plugged into it is a legitimately innovative design... I'm super pleasantly surprised after last year when the industry was entirely stagnant and even regressed that things are turning around. I've been a Note user for a while, but the S7 hasn't done much for my N6 expectations. Sealed battery ard dropped IR blaster (G5 still has one :good: ) are pretty much enough to put me off. At least they waterproofed it (IMO it's an insult to customers to seal the battery and not do so), but we'll see when Note 6 time comes. In the mean time, I'll definitely be watching LG with interest
What are you thinking about upgrade options?

I was looking at new phones and nothing yet. was looking at lg v10.. no activity g5 to small. next samsung bringing back the sd card but no removable battery. sooooo my question is, I have a note 3 still do I get a new note 4 from amazon or a used one from swappa already rooted ? what do you think ? any comments ? thank you

LG G2 on the way. Anything but Samsung from now on. had a perfect S2, S4, and the Note 4 was great while it lasted but complete hardware failure just out of warranty.

I think im gonna jump on the S7 edge. I love my note 4. Best phone I ever had. Slightly smaller screen and no IR, and I do use it on occasion, but I dont see phones having it anymore.
When are the notes released? August if I remember right. The 4 gb ram and just something new is calling to me. Couple post up about the G5. I was reading up on it as well. If it was bigger it would be a tough choice. Love the ideas. Samsung should be stealing them by the….. S9 maybe!

If the rumors are true. My next phone will be the HP Elite X3 Windows Phone. It's a monster. Although I might not be able to get past the YouTube app not being available for Windows.

Waiting for Note 6 to make decision.

New Flex

So I recently went back to my Flex and can't believe how much I missed this phone
and screen. Having owned the Note 5,4 and Nexus 6,LG 6 they really don't do anything
better than the Flex for all practical purposes. Oled screen is amazing still to this day and 720P is no deal breaker that comes along with great battery.
So I just bought a new Flex in the box for 145.00 for a backup when the original Flex dies The lesson to be learned newer isn't all way's better and in the case of cellphones
they have regressed in a lot of way's. Call me crazy but the Flex is my all time favorite phone.

Where you guys bought new flex? I am from europe.

I still love my LG G Flex. 2 things I'd like. I'll settle for 1.

I love my LG G Flex D950. I rooted it a year after release with a great deal of help from XDAers. As current developement was abandoned VERY quickly. I tried to replace it with 2 or 3 different phones. But I couldn't get used to a smaller screen. Recently got a new to me Mint used Motorola Nexus 6. If one of the following had happened I'd still use a G Flex over anything. If I could have the N6 hardware in G Flex form I'd throw the N6 off a cliff. And I really like my N6.
I used this site to make sure my mint N6 screen size wasn't dinky.
https://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/LG-G-Flex,Google-Nexus-6/phones/8199,8626#/phones/size/LG-G-Flex,Google-Nexus-6/phones/8199,8626
So many cool things about the LG G Flex. I love the curved screen, the feel, the build is impeccable, the back buttons. I don't think I've ever picked up a better feeling phone.
So #1 I wish there was current development. If there was I'd to reroot or unroot & root with a better method. Then install a current ROM. OMG the rooting was so complex. I don't think I dared a recovery after a while because it was so twitchy.
#2 I'm wishing for a LG G Flex 3 with the same form & size, higher screen to body ratio so a 6.2"+ screen, 4GB+ RAM, 64GB, microSD, front stereo speakers, unlocked bootloader. Basically everything the same except the a fore mentioned improvements.

What a great phone, agreed! Very sadly that LG didn't keep releasing more flexes. Imagine a LG G Flex with slim bezels.
You like big phones? You may consider Xiaomi. Like Mi Max 3, Mi Mix 3 or Mi 9.

bought the flex and super sad there is no development on it. I for sure would be a tester if anybody wants to go old-school on this thing... I am currently running KitKat, which is by far my favorite however a lot of apps now require lollipop or higher..
All right I'm sorry that's my rant LOL
