Using Optimus G Pro on AT&T network. After the update a few months ago, the phone has not performed very well. I was happy to learn last night that there was an update available, which only took a few minutes over wi-fi. The new version is E98020h. So far, the phone seems to work faster and I...

If anyone who has done this repair with this replacement part has time to answer, can you please post--what kind of modification is necessary to this part to make it fit the E980? On the ebay listing someone asked the seller if it would fit the E980 model and the seller says it won't. I would...

Yes, this is a massively sh*tty design flaw of both Android and its stock text messaging program. Initially, I did not notice the problem being discussed here. But then it eventually started happening to me as well. What I discovered was that everytime I would get a text message, it would...

How does google device manager resolve this issue?

You'd be surprised how often people aren't snooping on you.

Quite a drop from the $549 I paid 2 months ago.

I had this problem too and I searched the web until I found a solution. I don't remember where I found the solution but I'll try to reconstruct from memory. It has to do with never activating the Address Book app in the first place (which happens the first time you launch it and click that you...

No phone is perfect. You just have to pick the features most important to you and weigh them against things you may not like but are willing to live with. I'm pretty satisfied with the OGP so far. Glad I chose it.

Has anyone figured out a way to manually clear usage statistics for voice and data, and reset the counters to zero? On the iphone this was accomplished easily in the settings. I don't find the options available on the OGP. All I have found by googling the topic are a few other threads that...

I use a lock PIN too and I have never had this happen. On my phone, the red cross emergency dial emblem is beneath the unlock PIN keypad and you have to press and hold it for about 1 second to even activate it. Then it doesn't even launch the actual dialer, but gives 2 choices which ICE contact...

I've been using the OGP for 1 week now. Pretty happy for the most part. A few annoyances like the crapware from ATT that won't uninstall. (I don't know if I will root the phone or not. I'm not a power user and as long as the phone does what I want it to do--calls and occasional data access when...

This might be an illusion but it seems that as I use my Optimus G Pro the battery is lasting longer each time between charges, and doesn't drain down as fast during use. Maybe some kind of conditioning?

@Texas Chick, Thanks for the reply. I bought the phone from a corporate ATT store and paid full non-contract price because I use prepaid service. ATT told me they could "theoretically" unlock a phone if they had the codes from the manufacturer. Good to hear they actually can and did do it for...

Texas Chick, How hard was it to get AT&T to unlock the phone for you?
