Hello all, anybody here own a LG optimus elite yet? I'm looking to buy one but would like to no a persons opinion from here. Thanks!
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium
Hello,
I am one of many who has a grandfathered Virgin Mobile $25 plan that though we had no hope other than the hopeless Triumph.
Due to a wrinkle in their roll out, the Elite became available, and through tomorrow or the next day, can be added on a grandfathered $25 plan.
Having said that, I bought one to replace my Optimus V and would dearly love at least Root for it.
MetroPCS has released the Optimus M+ which is basically the same phone so there are two economy but pretty nice phones that could use some love from the wonderful hacker community.
Thanks for asking!
---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------
BTW, the phone is $129 at Best Buy, $149 MSRP and Walmart.
The GPS is better than the OV one which was very good. The phone is a little taller, but 1/3 thinner vs. the chunky OV.
The phone has WAY more RAM for the user so the slightly faster processor seems way faster than it really is. I had the IFO ROM for mine, and even with some tweaks, the Elite is way better stock than the OV was tweaked.
What you lose is the WiFi hotspot feature which came with my OV. The applications want to go to internal memory (another 4GB) vs. the SD, but at least you don't lose your programs if you swap the SIM.
Having the NFC/Wallet feature is a cool bonus.
So far the bigger screen, although only .3, it seems like much more.
Battery life has been stupendous for me...way kewl!
Thanks for all that great info! How is the screen quality? Is it clear vs. The optimus v?

They didn't increase the resolution so it is the same pixels stretched over a bigger space but looks fine. I don't use my phone for media, but no complaints here.
*****************
One more day to get an Elite on your grandfathered $25 plan!!
Ok how about the quality, is the durablility of the phone good? Hopefully a lot of people here will buy this phone so we can at least get some dev support, have you rooted your phone yet?

Durability is measured over time and there has been no time with the phone yet. Looks like any other phone to me. I haven't found a method yet to root it, have you?

Hiya... I think the build quality from all the major companies is good. It is usually the lower quality companies building cheaper phones, like the complaints about light leaks and other issues with the Triumph (made by Huawei?).
I don't know of anyone who has had a phone fall apart in their pocket. What matters more to me is the capabilities, like the strength of the GPS/cell radios, etc. which all seem fine.
Triumph is made by motorola, I heard about that as well, hey thanks for input

It is marketed by Motorola, not made by Motorola, nor is the iPhone made by Apple. They are both made by FoxConn, but in the case of the Triumph, via HuaWei or whatever it is called. See the forum topic on this site about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205658
Just like at one time there were only 5 brands of gas in the US, regardless of where you bought it or what the sign said.
What it really comes down to is these companies go to places like FoxConn and tell them they want a million of something and get a quote. Then they start dickering on substituting cheaper parts, or adding goodies on to bring the price up or down. HuaWei can put in an order with FoxConn and by having a company like Motorola order piggyback on their order, they could bring down the cost for both companies branded phone.
wow i didnt no that! thanks again for your great info I learn something new everyday
LG Optimus Elite is really 1GHZ, not 800mhz
Had a surprise when checking the system settings on the phone. Went into Quadrant and lo and behold, the phone has been overclocked to 1ghz. I didn't see this mentioned anywhere else yet??
That can explain how it is snappier than what you would expect for an increase from 600 of the OV to 800 of the Elite, when in reality it is really 1ghz.
Wow that's crazy! is that a mistake?

Well....it just gives me the information differently, same net result:

Do you have a third way to check now that Quadrant and Antutu both report 1 GHz?
Try CPU benchmark, there's no way the phone would come overclocked, that's why I think maybe the benchmarks think it is overclocked when its not

Hi, the processor on this phone is crap compairing to Tegra 2. I run Asphalt 6 on the infuse and G2X the infuse is crap skipping frames even the nexus s is skipping frames. But the tegra 2 on G2x is extreamly smooth. So why have the infuse last Gen phone?
Useless post is useless post. Derp derp.
I wanted a bigger screen..dualcore?? Im waiting on the quad core
Why is it useless don't people come here to know what's better and what's not on the phones? Or u just bought it and u think its the best phone? ATT is bullshitting people and selling old Gen as new instead of getting the gs2 they want to sell this for 4-5 months and make money then bring the gs2 when it's going to be 6 months old we America is way behind rest of the world with technology
What u going to do with bigger screen if it's going to lag on new app's? U gonna look at the laggy screen
And the flash video is very had on the infuse try to watch and u'll see,
On dual core is smooth.
When it reaches that point i will upgrade..until then im loving my new phone..vids play fine
Good job, you've managed to be a an asshole on the internet. What an accomplishment. Congratulations
Why because u don't like what's true? Or u want to read only good stuff about your phone? ****

There is no lag whatsoever on my infuse....its not an old Gen phone...captivate does not have super amoled plus...it does not have 4.5"...it doesn't have flash...it doesn't have 8 MP camera...it is not as thin as infuse...I know infuse has single overclocked core....they overclocked because now the chip/ hardware supports the power and 1.2ghz

Jump on down from your high horse bro. When I come to XDA I come to read USEFUL posts. Yours is NOT USEFUL. Deal with it.
Its about user experience.
I am an engineer for a very large Telecom vendor. Trust me, we all are sold the firt level software on a long term expandable hardware.
ALL hardware is capable of some evolution. Are you mad that fiber optics can carry 100gig per second when ten years ago it was only 20gig?
Does that mean new fiber is no better than old fiber?
Technology truly is software based. You don't always need to double the hardware to achieve the same user experience. Sometimes simply better crafting software can make all the difference.

P.s. I think the development teams on this site have made that point. That's why you are on XDA in first place right? This is not a hardware development site.

They barely announced this. Do you think they would scrap all their production to unlock the bootloaders? ... No
More than likely you will just see the key leaked earlier on the sensation.
HTC stated that future phones would be unlocked. At that time the sensation was in production already.

Yes the sensation will be unlocked. Well the keys given out.
But the sensation is clearly suffering from older tech. How does a 1ghz dual core in the g2x outperform a 1.2 ghz in the sensation?
Especially when the g2x is running foyo and the sensation is running gingerbread.
Has all these people who want to ditch the g2x even researched the 2?
The g2x is in fact the better phone.
They raised the price because the only thing your getting better on the sensation is the screen.
And thats debatable.

For those of you who don't know the sensation uses an arm a8 processor and the g2x uses a arm a9, even though the sensation is clocked higher it still doesn't match up to the g2x its like an i7 vs i5.

Same here, I remember thinking about getting the Sensation but then came along the G2x which is a beast. Second best phone coming out this year, have to give an edge to the GS II just because of the 4.3 inch SUPER AMOLED PLUS screen and it's dual core 1.2GHz processor that hits 3100+.........besides that both phones are just as good as each other. Oh and mind you the G2x isn't running GB yet which means those 2500-2800 quadrant scores should be around 3000 as well.
Running stock rooted G2x with faux123 stock kernel @ 1.1GHz

I think the bulk of the persons who are choosing the Sensation over the G2x may be those who got fed up with the bum G2x's out there that have the constant locking up or rebooting problems. I personally have gone through 3 of them and was ready to explode over the matter...
Yes yes, I know, "I have one and I haven't had any of those problems" - good for you - you're one of the lucky ones. For us who have experienced it with multiple phones, well, lets just say that we have been left with a bad taste in our mouths.

Well for one I care about the "benchmark shizz"
But its always been about how the phone runs. That's why they invented benchmark programs to score each phones performance so you can compare how the hardware/software combination you are using performs. Using that tool you can actually get a tangable number for each setup you run therefore giving you the higher number for higher performance. So think about what you say before you go contradicting yourself in public.

I've stopped trolling and I don't think the gs4g phone is worth it anymore. I'm happy that devs are still working on it but I think I need to move on instead of begging for a new update. I've almost forgotten there are other options out there.
I don't know if it's still like this but my first android phone was a mytouch 3g slide. HTC made it and that phone was the biggest pain in the butt to get rooted due to the locked boot loader. I got the s2 and have been very happy with it.

The HTC one s has been majorly upgraded it runs ics and sense 4 ( sense 4 is infinitely better than touchwiz if for no other reason the fact that touchwiz5 can be flashed as a zip onto the one s) with no worries to the one s out of the box so you get best of both worlds) has an awesome 4.3 in 900 by 560 screen res but easily a one handed device due to the thin design. Has an amazing camera a great dual core 1.5 MHz thingy ma bob (not the most tech specific term) and i could definately see the smoothness was comparable to the one x's and the gs3 but it has no expandable memory or access to battery. Oh and a HUUUUGGGE plus is that the one s has an alpha cm10 build already. So pretty much the s one is better than the s2 in every thing except for storage, price, and nfc. Seems like a no brainer right! Its just that with a 2 yr contract the one s is $150 vs the gs2's wapping 0 dollars. I could wait for the price to drop but it was at 50$ back in April when I couldn't upgrade so I doubt the price will drop that much. I feel like this post may have answered by own question lol.

For me the deciding factor would be the development community. Which one is strong and friendly.
SGS III by far.
The best phone humanity has today, with an external micro SD card slot, unique Sammy features and beasty specs.
I would get the galaxy s 2 (or 3 but you didn't mention it). HTC one s has a **** ton of hardware issues that even HTC has admitted

For me the deciding factor would be the development community. Which one is strong and friendly.

I've seen both communities and because they're both popular their community is thriving. Like I said both have jb builds that are improving each day. J doubt either phone will be left behind

I'd go for HTC One S for the looks.
I'd go for [email protected]!ing fake phones from China so that i can have a Galaxy S2 look alike phone running sense, an most unstable phone tgat can be die whenever it like and a cheap phone (just 50 usd or so) that dont have to be unlocked for carriers lmfao

I never said sense is bad. Just that you have a hard on for it.

The HTC one s has been majorly upgraded it runs ics and sense 4 ( sense 4 is infinitely better than touchwiz if for no other reason the fact that touchwiz5 can be flashed as a zip onto the one s) with no worries to the one s out of the box so you get best of both worlds) has an awesome 4.3 in 900 by 560 screen res but easily a one handed device due to the thin design. Has an amazing camera a great dual core 1.5 MHz thingy ma bob (not the most tech specific term) and i could definately see the smoothness was comparable to the one x's and the gs3 but it has no expandable memory or access to battery. Oh and a HUUUUGGGE plus is that the one s has an alpha cm10 build already. So pretty much the s one is better than the s2 in every thing except for storage, price, and nfc. Seems like a no brainer right! Its just that with a 2 yr contract the one s is $150 vs the gs2's wapping 0 dollars. I could wait for the price to drop but it was at 50$ back in April when I couldn't upgrade so I doubt the price will drop that much. I feel like this post may have answered by own question lol.

Go look at the s2 forum, I'm running cm10 alpha on mine right now and it is official lol. It was up in the air for me between the one s and s2 as well. I would rather have reliable hardware

I'd wait til later in the year to see what the new Nexus device/devices will be. The GS4G, and mainly it's dev community, is more than enough to suffice until then

Honestly I didn't know what the big deal was when I was on this forum before I got this phone with jelly bean. And now having used it for a couple weeks I really still don't see the big deal with it. It's nice don't get me wrong but it's not leaps and bounds better than ics like gb was to ics.
All in all I'm happy with the phone. Dual core is awesome, the gig of ram also helps allot. love the bigger screen. And with the 16g internal and the 16g sd card I had from my sgs4g I don't think I will be worrying about storage problems for awhile lol

Hi! I am looking to buy a new phone for this chritsmas, i really like the Xperia play but my concern is that the phone gets too "old" to run the latest games that come out. so if you got any recomendation for another phone in the same rank of price? 200$-250$
Let me know your opinions!
You're right the Xperia play is getting rather old. If you can pay a little more than 250, the nexus 4 is stupidly powerful, and therefore should be pretty good for games. Really anything with a dual core processor, mali 400 gpu, or a dual core processor with an adreno 220 or higher should be good for gaming and last you a fairly long time.

The Nexus 4 is completely awesome of course, but the price is out of my range. what you think about the motorola atrix?
buy oppo find 5 just google it and you will give agree with me
I think LG Optimus 4X is great device for games but it costs about 500$-850$ (in Russia).

Ain't price "little" too high??
i think you should buy an htc sensation xe it's an good dual-core smartphone with great development

All the droids that you mention are very great of course. the most expencives devices are amazing but the problem is that i only have 200-250$ To buy the best android posible. it appears that im gonna buy the Motorola Atrix, but if someone have a better opinion about another device in that range i want to hear it. Cheers!
Get nexus 4 it's f**king powerful

I agree. The first thing I would do would be to see how much development is going on. Because all of the speed comes not only from hardware but also from those nice custom mods, like CM
