Sup you guys, I'm thinking about trading in my Vibrant for a G2. Should I do it? I don't care about the keyboard as I wont be using it. Just love the build quality of the phone and that its a stock android phone. But if y'all had a vibrant, would you change for the G2?

I also went from vibrant to G2, by choice, hands down G2 is the superior device
Man I am so happy with this G2. 1.8ghz overclock?? That's just bananaz. Has to be the fastest android phone I have owned and I have owned many of them. Vibrant, epic, captivate, Evo, nexus, G1, mytouch3G and now the G2. G2, to me, also has the best build quality too.

^^^ Same here! If the build quality isn't enough to persuade someone, all of the dev support (CM in particular) the G2 has and will receive, will push you over the edge. Hands down the best phone I have owned!! (My girl hates it though...)
Dooo eeeet

Did it as well. Got my G2 two weeks ago in place of the Vibrant. I miss things (weight, thin-ness, SAMOLED display, 4" screen) but that's it.
Expected answers here
I have both in front of me right now. Comparing my vibrant running Nero (without lagfix) to stock G2 I prefer the bigger screen and multimedia playback as well as better speakers. Speed difference is negligible. The only thing better about the G2 is gps and notification led.

Meh...I had both (before I had to send the SGS back again for repair)...I would also add...
1. G2 for me has been WAY MORE dependable (I've had issues with my G2, but nothing like the ones with the SGS)
2. Again, for me - G2 was faster based on my usage (even with the slower processor)
3. G2 is much easier to manage from a software aspect. G2 drivers and device seems to be more responsive and easier to manage connecting to the computer. (Kies is a nightmare)
I too miss the SA 4" screen, sleek, lightweight form factor. but if I I have to get it replaced every week due to failed hardware or software - its not worth it.

TMO gave you a free G2 because you had your Vibrant replaced four times? I went through five MT4Gs before switching to the G2, but I didn't get mine for free. How in the hell did you accomplish that?

there is no build quality at all to the vibrant
I have a galaxy s4 and have a friend who wants it. He has a note 2 and his wife has a optimus G pro. He wants to trade one of them for the s4. Was thinking about it but does anybody know anything about the other devices. Or are they going to be a bad trade.

Bro trust me keep the s4... I have had the note 2 and the optimus s4 way better

1080p screen is key. I wouldn't touch the Note, but would definitely consider the G Pro.
I agree with tmushtare. Keep the GS4. I have had all three phones as well. The GS4 is superior to the Note II & O-G Pro, + has a higher resale value than the other 2.
The OG pro is nice I was considering it when I bought my S4 ( I had the optimus G) and have had the Note 2.. The only thing I see as better about either is the 5+ inch screen... But for me the 5" screen is the sweet spot.. I get awesome battery life on my S4 and its a good size for my big fingers but it's not so big that I have trouble using it one handed.. Love my S4

I had the HTC One, OG pro, Note 2 and now S4. I had both the I9500 and now the the I9505. To make a long story short keep the S4 or get the Gpro if you like bigger screen. You cant go wrong with either phone seriously but know that the gpro development is pretty much non existent right now . As far as the note 2 it is an incredible device but the Note 3 is right around the corner. I would say keep the S4 for the time being and see what the note 3 is about in a short couple of months.

Thanks for all the replys. I have defiantly have exclude the note 2. Somebody said the gpro had support here but doesn't anymore. If I got it could u root and run custom ROMs?

The G pro development section is a ghost town compared to the s4.. Take a look at the forums and see for yourself lol

I haven't checked any other sites but if any site were to have ROMs and mods and whatnot for OG Pro it would be xda and I just checked again so I don't eat my words there isn't one ROM there in fact there's only like 10 topics in the development section
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
OK I took a look and gpro doesn't have that much in it. So if u just run stock then the gpro would be OK. Think I'll stick with the s4. Thanks everybody.

Now if we can get a bootloader unlock for the s4 we would be set.

I tried this G pro when my s4 was stolen. It's heavy to me but 5.5 inch screen. It seemed a tad bit slower not much than s4. I've mainly owned either Samsung or LG devices so I'm used to the difference between them. I just felt less comfortable carrying the Pro. I would definitely use it at home but not out & about. The storage is great 32gb internal with additional sd storage.
Why did you upgrade to the LG G2?
Battery, Bigger Screen without going too big with the phone, LTE (not that i need it yet), and just because i got it at a good price, was deciding between Nexus 5 or G2 so i went with the G2. Came from a Nexus 4.
EDIT: Oh yeah better speaker than the N4 (and the N5 I think), build quality is good too.
Note 3 was too big and I never used the pen.
No nexus 5 on Verizon hoping to get kitkat soon

My beloved Droid DNA had a cracked screen. I couldn't justify the cost of repairing it vs getting the G2.
Wanted something new after using my Galaxy S1 (Now my trusty backup phone) for 3 years. Do I need to say more?
G2 seemed like the obvious choice. Waited a bit for the N5 but I'm glad I got the G2, as the 16GB version of N5 costs the same as my 32GB G2 here in Norway.
My Gnex started to slow down and I wanted something stable. The G2 beat out the Moto X by passing the 'how will the device be 2 years from now' test and the Nexus 5 by me being a Verizon customer. So far, I'm extremely happy with my purchase and am looking forward to rooting soon!
Lots of the same reasons above, no Nexus on VZW, GNex showing it's age, ease of rooting.
Really like this device now that I've had it a bit.
The Nexus 5 wasn't coming to Verizon and I couldn't stand my Galaxy Nexus battery life anymore.
I just switched from Verizon to T-Mobile so have access to both the G2 and Nexus 5. In that regard, G2's battery life vs N5's crappy juice won out.
Not to mention that T-Mobile only carries that 16GB version of the N5 for some stupid reason.
After spending a 8 months with a Spectrum 2 and no Dev. support, I was going crazy with Rom withdrawal.

How do you like it as compared to your DNA? That battery apparently just went on my DNA and I was looking into this phone.
I had the itch for something new

I had a Galaxy S3 that was affected with the sudden death glitch. It was the specs that caught my attention, but ultimately it was playing with the demo at an AT&T store that won it for me. Got a good deal on it too. $115 after taxes.

Firstly because of sound player. 192/24. Secondly camera quality especially 60fps. Then 5.2 screen also was important thing.
I just got mine for free plus 30 for activation. Should get here tomorrow. Haven't even used one yet.

Anyone have a vzw note 3 then pick up a g2?what did you think? How's the reception? I'm getting irritated with dropped data ect.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
I came from a GS3 when they were running the free after instant rebate promo.
The G2 does have a more reliable signal, possibly a little stronger too.
I dont know if it is a big enough reason to switch...it could depend on your location, etc.
It is a fantastic phone though. I dont have the urge to crack flash either with all the UI customization possible witb stock.
Did they patch loki yet? I'm missing aosp and I meant to say I have a note 3. I have a nexus 7 just seems the note and 7 are too close in size. How's battery life?

If you are willing to trade a Note 3 for an LG G2, contact me.

I did the opposite where I had the G2 and dumped it for a Note 3. If I'm being completely honest, I think the Note 3 is a better overall phone with more advantages. But of course it depends how you will use your phone.
I owned the G2 for a month, so I think I had a pretty decent sample size to give my opinion.

I honestly don't think they are even comparable, because of the size and the S Pen.
Sent from my LG G2 using xda app-developers app
It mostly depends on what you want to do with it. I have the original Note on ATT. I decided on the G2 over the N3 because of all the nonsense Samsung is getting into with not allowing us to flash and customize OUR devices. Since you are on Verizon, the vise is even tighter on you. Seems us GSM guys have it a little easier. Good luck with your decision.
Is this another Note 3 vs G2 comparison thread?
Aren't people getting tired of comparison threads getting locked?

I don't think you are up to date. The Verizon Note 3 has a bootloader exploit, custom recovery and custom roms already. In short, it's good to go.

I wouldn't call safe strap an bootloader exploit as much as a work around. Still no way to allow custom kernels

I would take the G2, biggee battery and faster cpu I believe. ..but no storage slot for sdcards, so make sure it has enough storage for your needs

your gonna get 100 posts of different views, always happens. print out the specs on both. list what you like don't like with the s4. and see which phone will work best for the way you use it. neither is a bad phone. also, if possible you have to get that phone in your hands to play with. :good:
assume you also are checking the lg forum
If you thinking about LG phone why don't you buy Nexus 5?
I've had bad experiences with lg android phones in the past..but it looks like they've stepped up their game lately

I had the LG G and absolutely love it. I wanted the LG G2 during my upgrade, but they're out of it so settled for the HTC One. Wife has the S4.
I personally liked the G2, but I just couldnt get used to the buttons on the back so I stuck with my S4.
