New AT&T E980 forum

We in the Optimus G section wait to new AT&T Optimus G Pro E980 forum to be opened. See this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273275 plz pay your attention.
And one minor advice, make a one big section named AT&T G Pro with minor subsections for other alternatives like F240, soon to be released E985 and coming new F220K. It's bad and deluding to have this http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1921 and then this http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1928 and then on the top of it this http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1838 It deludes ppl and make it difficult to share opinions, answer common questions and look for ROMs

If this were a petition, you'd have my signature. This will be a fairly popular phone.
People who will not buy it: teenage women, older parents whose kids told them to get the" Galaxy phone."
People who will: anyone who can understand that companies do learn from mistakes, people who can look at specs and realize that there is no competition in this price point.

New forum for AT&T LG Optimus G Pro (LG E980)
We really need a separate forum for this device so that owners can discuss it in one place as opposed to under the normal Optimus G forums.
It's a fantastic device and deserves at least a little bit of love. :good:

I agree that there should be a dedicated LG Optimus G Pro forum. The LG AT&T Optimus G forum is starting to become cluttered with mixed threads which make it difficult to keep the device discussion on topic.

Me too! This phone is great and we need an e980 forum

How is it that other phones get a dedication section before the phones are even released yet this one is coming up on a week of being out and nothing? Not even a mention of it on the front page.
Why you no like LG or AT&T?! Lol.

I think they don't make forum it intentionally so to not make a competition for GS4

I'm at a loss here as to why we are having to beg just to get a forum for this device. Only thing I can think of is maybe the forum admins don't think there will be enough demand for the service and therefore a waste of time trying to moderate a thread for it? (Just guessing here..)
Please don't punish us because LG & AT&T didn't market this device properly. We already have root on it and I suspect that some of the devs who worked on the OG would at the least be able to port over some goodies for us. (Yes- the root method for the OG works for the OG Pro and it is the simplest root I have ever seen!)

You just dont understand. Its the "Pro" version of an existing phone. And its not hate. Instead of making a thread dissing what is available, you should ask a mod to do what you need, and dont forget mods have lifes. Its about attitude. Any way at&t sucks, lol

No, it is not. You sound like saying "Galaxy Note 2 is just Pro version of an existing phone Galaxy S3" right? Wrong. E980 is totally different phone than E970, everything is different, SoC is different, display is too, design, camera, radio, wifi & BT diffierent, IR blaster

Ffs keep it on topic. The Optimus G pro guys are cluttering Optimus G fora, so please make them their own section.

[SOLVED]Does T-Mobile's Nexus 5 come unlocked?....YES IT IS UNLOCKED

Does anyone know if the Nexus 5's come unlocked? I was under the impression they don't come unlocked. I cut up an old Sprint sim and put it in, and it says "emergency calls | sprint" which makes me believe they're unlocked. Anyone have any luck?

first off, do not post questions in general, they go into q&a http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477886
secondly, i guess that you didnt search for the answer, because it is very easy to find. all nexus 5 come sim unlocked, it does not matter where you buy them.

No reason to be sorry, your question was legitimate because you were misinformed by T-Mobile and needed a straight answer.

I think a good option to the weekly question about the N5 being unlocked is to list it in the specs section on the main page as "Carrier Unlocked". Maybe one of the FSMs can help with that?

XDA is not a Q&A web site
Your first move is to Google your question, like I just did.
The first 6 search results answered the question.
Several had the answer in the results summary, not to mention actually clicking on a result link.

HTC One (M7) vs Nexus 5?

Well I am going to buy a new phone soon, and I can't decide between these 2. HTC One have the better look, but specs seem a bit worse than Nexus 5 and I don't know if it will recieve the newest updates like Nexus 5... I want the phone to be kind of future proof - getting the latest Android updates for some time, and I want it to be fast, stable and have good camera. Could anyone make a comparison, or post experience with either of the phones? Which one would you choose?
P.S I created a thread in "hardware hacking" with same name, I've seen only hardware so I've thought it is the forum about hardware, a good place to compare phones... here is the link, so mods delete it please http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/hardware/htc-one-m7-vs-nexus-5-t2828636

Comparisons aren't allowed and how would most of us know what the m7 is like? Please read reviews and make up your own mind. You're going to get biased answers here..
"which one would you choose?"
Haven't we already chosen???

Well everyone here chose the nexus 5 so 99.5 % of us will tell you thats the one to get. It isn't helpful to you. You just have to make your mind up yourself. No one here can tell you which phone is best for you. We can only tell you what's best for us but because you posted in the nexus 5 forum, you already know what's best for us - so it renders your thread pretty useless.
I'm hoping it gets locked soon. There are too many threads from people asking this same question. Nexus 5 versus phone x. Its ALWAYS the same answer so what's the point?

Ask in the Nexus 5 forum = "buy the Nexus 5"
Ask in the HTC One (M7) forum = "buy the M7"

As mentioned we do not allow comparison threads on XDA be it ROMs, Kernels or devices the question is subjective and as mentioned above depending on where you ask the question you are going to get different answers.

Nexus 5 or something else?

Hello
I think my Desire Z might have just died. I was waiting for Project Ara to produce something but after they have announced a worthless test run in Puerto Rico I have no choice....
My 1st choice from the start has been the Nexus 5. The ability to choose and every ROM is I think awesome.
I also looked at the Samsung Galaxy K zoom but I have quickly discarded it as I see no ROM development.
So, should I go with the Nexus 5 or do you recommend something else?

Well depends on your budget that is. Nexus 6 is too costly and Nexus 5 is the right money for the right device. But if I were I would look into the OnePlus One.

And AFAIK, there is no rule that asking what phone to get with my requirements and/or price range should belong in that thread.

Yeah, price range for me would be Nexus 5 but that is dynamic depending on what else is out there.
I have been recommended the OnePlus One (or Two) as well. The only issue I have with it is that they are going now with this is OxygenOS (yet another distro of Android just like Linux has Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, etc.) and I feel that is a stepback. Also, I really miss that it has no microSD (this is getting more common also this applies to the Nexus 5) and no wireless charging. But, it is a awesome phone nonetheless.

Bro I'm a Linux user, I know what distros are an I also know about OxygenOS but CM and PA still officially supports the OPO. So I don't see the problem here. You can always wipe and flash
And secondly about the storage, The Nexus 5 16GB costs $349 And the OnePlus One 64GB costs $349 so its a better deal than the Nexus plus the One had a better hardware from all aspects. Plus a lot of sensors. So it's still up to you which one your prefer man.

People don't read from the beginning. They read the most recent posts. Because they're not stupid, and (usually) don't reply to posts that are several years old. Frankly, I'm surprised this thread hasn't been locked/merged already.
That said, look at the LG G2. Same guts as the Nexus 5, but with a far superior camera, much bigger battery, and slightly bigger screen (in practically the same size body). Development doesn't match the Nexus 5, but that's like saying aftermarket customization doesn't match a Honda Civic. Alternative, but a bit more expensive (yet still cheap), there's the OnePlus One. It's basically an unofficial Nexus 5.5.

Lg g2, a better nexus 5 with a low street price

1st thread - Closed because it was replied to a year later
2nd thread - Closing it doesnt even make sense. Its a tablet thread and it gets redirected to a smartphone thread?
3rd thread - Very little information
4th thread- First reply, is a spamfest of websites
5th thread - Asking for chinese products and then getting like 5 a spamfest of websites
6th thread - Same as 4 and 5
7th thread - This one takes the cake. How can you ask about two phones, for whatever reason, and have the thread closed?
If its going to be like that, my suggestion towards XDA is simply close all sections including phone sections except phone development sections . If XDA strictly wants to dedicate itself to development and wont allow simple questions, then fine. But come on, closing some of those threads were pathetic more so the tablet ones.
Make a entire subsection for "What device should I get". This way you dont have clutter in the general sections.
Also, it is pathetic that you use the sex card to make yourself look like a victim. I am disgusted by your attitude when there are women around the globe being sexually harrassed and even burned. You should feel ashamed of yourself for even mentioning after getting owned that you are a woman. Very disrespectful.

Thats the exact problem: Someone posts "I want a phone" on page (lets say) 500. Same day a couple of people post the same thing and now the thread is at page 502. People wont go back to page 500 to help that person, they will just go to 502 and help whatever they see on that page.
It is TOO long of a thread to have a continous discussion about one member's option.

The real issue here is that xda has a lot of users. If even a small fraction of them opened threads to ask for advice on which device to purchase then many "more important" threads would get buried by the sheer volume of these threads. xda doesn't want to ban these discussions outright, so there currently are 3 threads devoted to discussions about devices, please repost your question in one of these three threads: The what should I buy thread or the The Device Suggestion Thread or the The Device Comparison Thread.
Thanks!
