What should I do with my Optimus L3? - Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an old LG Optimus L3, but it still works. Yes, I know that this is an old (4 years), and so low-end smartphone. Sell it is impossible, but nobody makes stuff for L3 nowadays.
Do you have an idea for using this phone?
Which ROM should I use?

[Q] Samsung Gear with LG G2

I have a LG G2 with AT&T that I love. I also have the Sony Smartwatch 2 which is good but doesnt really compare against the Samsung Gear (for my needs).
I would love to keep the LG G2 (I switched from a S4 and compared to the LG G2, the screen on the LG G2 is much better, my opinion)
I did a search and noticed that this question was asked before but it has been a while.
I know the Gear has been working almost flawlessly with the HTC One. I am wondering if anyone has tried it with the LG G2 lately with any luck?
The last thing I want to do is switch back to the S4 just for the Gear.
Thanks

I just want Google to come out with a Nexus watch so it can work with any Android smartphone. I don't know if Samsung in the 2nd generation of the Galaxy Gear will open it up to all Android devices or keep it to themselves to make it exclusive so that you have to buy a Samsung smartphone.
They'll keep it exclusive, because that is what apple would do.

I concur. Why limit your potential clients. It's not like there is anything advanced going on there. I'm sure the software and programming is hacked to hell first, to make it work, and second, to keep it exclusive though. Might make it very difficult to make it universally open. We'll have to see what happens, though I won't be picking it up. I hate Samsung hardware.
I'm sure LG will jump on the boat. Apple, Samsung, Sony, and Motorola all have watches in the pipe or being released soon, so it's just a matter of time.

I have the Sony SW2 and paired with my LG G2. The watch is... well.. Ok. I really hope LG release something with their Flex screen technology and one that is more functional than the SW2. :good:

Funny you mention the flex screen. This is why I have almost no doubt a watch will be released. Rather than have a slab for a screen, they can create a watch that curves with the wrist. In addition, the ultra low power requirements of OLED screens will lead to outstanding battery life.
I would definately prefer a Nexus watch or LG watch (assuming they are better than the Gear). I have the Sony SmartWatch 2, and its very very weak comparing to the Gear.
It may not be that easy making a smartwatch. Look at Sony, they are a Monster company that has been making some pretty smart watches for at least 50 years. I would have thought they would have the best smartwatch. But its Samsung who currently hold the crown.
Back to the topic, Anyone tried getting the Gear to work with the LG G2. We seriously dont get that much support here for the G2 vs HTC One and S4 etc.
With a tear in my eye I announce that I went out and bought a Samsung Gear and Samsung S4. I have retired my G2 and will sell it on craigslist (along with the Sony SmartWatch 2). Going from S4 to G2 to S4 really makes you appreciate the G2. Hopefully someone figures out a way to get the Gear to work with the G2 in the next month or so. Oh G2... you will be missed.

[Q] Updates

How is Lg with updates? I was planning to buy a L g g2 but somethings are stopping me for that. I hate plastic and I don't like the idea of purchasing with a bad build quality phone, and the biggest one. I have never owned a Lg phone, is there any chance for an update to Andorid L, and the new interface in Lg g3.
Thank you
If you have doubts, then you should buy something else.

[Q] What do you think about lg softwear?

I really want to buy the lg g2 I think this phone is the best for me, but there is one thing that bothers me and its the software. The clean android experience like in nexus looks way better. What do you think about the software? Is it such a big difference? Btw, When do you think the lg g2 will stop getting updates?
Thanks!

Is the LG G" still worth it?

Hi, I can't make up my mind. Should I buy this phone LG G2or should I go for a moto g 2015?
I don't like the G3 because it heats up insanely...
Thanks for the help.
Edit: sorry for my mistake in the thread title. It should be "Is the LG G2 still worth it?"

Coming from someone who owns both a G2 & Moto G, get the G2.
Moto G 2015 is a good phone no doubt but no match for the G2.
I was in the same dilemma a fee weeks back, if you're well versed in rooting and roming then definitely get the G2(that's what I did), has a more powerful processor, higher resolution display, bigger screen, better screen to body ratio, etc.
The only issue is the software, as I said if you want a good software experience you'll have to root it.

I'm still on stock 5.0.2 Tmobile.
Have great battery life and stable experience!
Like he said, if you want to ROOT, this phone is as good as it gets.
There are tons of ROMS to play with including Cloudy G3 and the upcoming Android M ROMS

Thanks. Yes I'm experienced in rooting. That's something that is in favour of the lg, as it is not necessary to ask lg for permission to root... [emoji1]

I'm planning to get one as a 2nd phone for work
The g2 is great to be honest I like it more then some of the phones that came out this year maybe because I get ROMs without ruining the phone or having hard flashing directions
The device itself is great, but be careful where you buy it from. Some people (myself included) have purchased 'frankenphones', devices that are made up of parts from different model G2's.
Thanks. I'm buying it from Amazon. Should be original.
Did you buy it in a Chinese store?

My wife has moto g 3rd gen and my two-years old g2 is still much better (performance, usability) and there are so many excellent custom ROMs like Ressurection Remix for instance, so good choice...

I just hope there will still be many in the future. With marshmallow... ☺

Yeah, I am looking forward to it as well

The 3rd Gen Moto G is a good phone as I've just bought one for a friend.
Even though my G2 is still running stock 20H KK 4.4.2, there is no way I'd swap it for a Moto G. Even though the G2 is 2 years old now, you can still see its a premium phone. Battery, Screen Quality, IR blaster, LED Notification Light, Battery.........
In 2 years time, some will still be rocking a G2.
Everybody is praising the lg g2. great.

I received my OnePlus 2 yesterday, but be sure I'll not give up G2 for now. Also Android M AOSP development started on G2, so I'll try to compile it for the G2.
So yeah, G2 is still a great phone.

Do you think that android m from the g3 will be ported to the g2?
Enviado do meu Nexus 7 através de Tapatalk
I don't think so. If LG won't make Android M for G2 it will be rather hard to port anything.
