So, I have had my skyrocket for about a year now and I like it a lot, but there is one thing that is driving me nuts, the darn proximity sensor. The fact that it almost never works is enough for me to get rid of the phone. Since I haven't been able to find a way to fix that issue I am looking at getting a new phone. The Skyrocket was my first smartphone, I bought it used in excellent condition off ebay for $200 and I was using with Net10's BYOP plan. So if I am to replace it I would want something comparable in performance and cyanogenmod support. I am currently looking at an LG Optimus G, because it seems to be the best bang for the buck, being the only smartphone that I could find with a quad core that is less than $300. Specifically I am looking at buying this one.
So, this leaves me with two questions for you guys.
1) Is there anything I can do about the proximity sensor?
2) Is the LG Optimus G a good choice or is there something better in that price range?
As always thank you for any help and/or advice!

I was seriously considering that because of how awesome a deal it was, then I realized that there was no expandable memory. I currently have a 32GB uSD card in my skyrocket that is full with nothing but music. So 16GB wouldn't cut it.
That was a deal breaker for me too, and the non-remoavable battery.

Do you really need 32gb of just music? Its not like you can listen to it all in one day. There's also Google Play Music and such as an option..

Need? No, but I don't want to be having to change what I have on my phone all the time. If I want to listen to something I just want to be able to hit play. As for Google Play Music, being on Net10 AT&T plan I only have 1.5GB and I have already burned through that in 2 weeks before.
Hi,
I want to buy LG G PRO 2, but i want to know if it will get lollipop update and when or get LG G3 instead.
From where i can get a good online price for LG G PRO 2?
Is there a big difference between 16G and 32G ROM?
Thanks
this device will get lollipop for sure.. it's the matter of time.. i think in third quarter of 2015... you should spend more money to get g3.. 16gig model is not worth it.. and battery drain because of qhd screen is too much.. and for g pro 2 no difference between 16 and 32 .. just capacity.. you just can flash 32g rom over 16g..

Which is the best place to get the phone from? i found LG G3 32G at hi-mobile.net for 425USD, LG G PRO 2 for 395USD but not available.
honestly, i'd rather get a Nexus if you're paying that money. just save a bit more.
it's not guaranteed that LG GP2 will get Lollipop.

Get the 32GB version, the price difference is not much.
Sure you can buy a 32GB microSD for ~40$ nowadays, but having bigger space on "/" is useful, too.
Good online price? I don't know. Depends on where do you live.
I bought mine at a local GSM shop, but MAKE SURE you ask them about "which version is it".
They tried to sell me a Chinese variant with no English language available on it. So be careful with these shops.
I got the g pro 2. 32G, thanks for help.
Hi all, new to the forum and waiting for my new G pro 2 (d838) to come. I have a G3 32gb right now, which I believe is great, but I always wanted to try this "beast" of a phone, as they say it runs better than the G3. Hopefully I will get it before the end of this week, meanwhile I read a lot of posts in this section to get as many infos on it.
By the way, I see Lollipop is coming soon, on my G3 d855 I have the latest 20H firmware and it is awesome, LG is doing a very good job lately at updating its top devices, so I expect a great 5.0 rom for the G pro 2 too.

Expect better battery life than G3, Between the performance there is nothing to compare . I dont see any point of 2K displays .
LG is common underrated in my country so price is fair
In mongolia the "almost NEW" korean models
G2 cost 300000 MNT = 150$
GP2 cost 350000 MNT = 175$
G3 cost 500000MNT = 250$
G3CAT6 600000MNT = 300$ (very satisfying for a poor country)

my eyeballs nearly popped when I saw the price, still from 520 to 384 € is very nice
Thank you for your feedback! Actually I bought it online for 310€, a very good deal. Before the G3 I had the G2, which I loved, but it was kind of small for me, that's why I got the G3. As you well said, battery life is one of the biggest flaws of the G3 due to the 2k display, really useless on such a small screen. Also, I heard about a better signal reception on the G pro2, which is another good reason to switch.
Can't wait to receive it!!!

Yes, I like big phones since I'm 2 meters tall and have big hands.
I used to be a Note user, but I got sick of Samsung's touchwiz so I tried other phones, and LG was a nice discovery, much faster and fluid UI. Unfortunately the G pro 2 is not officially commercialized here in Italy, and I never had the chance to try it in stores, otherwise I believe I would have bought it way before.
I have 2 weeks ago bought a new in black 32GB.
The time now is my second GP2.
My first is the balcony fell down and did not survive.I bought it at Mobile Shop EU by 354 euros and one day it was there, good service
I bought the 16gb version on eglobalcentral IT because I wanted it white, and I couldn't find a 32gb version in white. But I have both an sd card plus a 32gb micro usb external drive, so storage won't be a problem.
Let's see how long it takes for it to get here, I ordered it yesterday.
I was wondering which phone to buy, and I'm in love with the Nexus 5. But the Nexus 6 has also come in the market and there are other options, but somehow my eyes are stuck on the N5. Should I go for it? Is it worth the buy?
And while searching over the internet i found moto x 2 nd gen to be a great option but somehow i still like the elegnant look of nexus 5,
But since it has been discontinued, will this be a problem is future?
Please help
Hi,
Here is a similar thread in the N5 section you can read through. The replies in that thread are the same as the ones you'd get if you made a new thread. ?

Hi All,
I'm considering selling my Moto X 2014 and buying a OnePlus. Does anyone here think that would be a good move? Obviously you're all OnePlus users, but I'd be interested in your input.
Thank's in advance.

My suggestion would be to wait until the OPO OS fiasco settles. Besides you do not gain much going to OPO IMHO. I was toying between OPO and Moto X, picked up OPO because someone was selling it cheap.

Thanks for the reply. I'm also planning on getting the M9 when it's out so it may be wise to just stick the the Moto until then.

What OS fiasco? It only affects Indian customers.
Hi guys, I'm going to buy a new smartphone because my old Galaxy Mini 2 has become really slow and laggy even for simplest things.
I need your suggestions about smartphones between 180-220€ (205-250$).
The only surely good smartphone I know with that price is Motorola Moto G LTE.
Now I would like to hear the suggestions of xda users because an important aspect for me is modding.
Thank you all :good:

It's a good idea but i I'd rather avoid used smartphones, what about 2GB ram Asus ZenFone 5?

ZenFone is a decent choice if you don't mind the ZenUI..
How about G3 everyone?

If your budget is < $300 and used phones are out of the question, then your choices are limited. Moto G LTE is probably your best bet, especially if you are into modding. However, I would suggest saving a little more for a OnePlus One.
You're the man!
