LG G3: Verizon

The Note 3's screen is 5.7" and the G3 is 5.5". The Note 3 should appear larger.

Thx. But I was actually referring to the note 2, because the note 2 and g3 are both 5.5 inches. I was just wondering if the slim bezels on the g3 made it look smaller than the note 2.
 
Well. I'm wondering if there's a way to remove all the Verizon branding. It is printed onto the plastic. Not sure if anyone has tried and know what the best techniques are.

For example, on one of my G Shocks. I use just a little nail polish remover and a Q-tip to get rid of some of the printing on the plastic. And that works. Different type of plastic though on G Shocks so I wouldn't recommend using nail polish remover on an LG.

Well for the back you can just purchase a spare battery door without the logo. As for the front maybe a vinyl decal that matches the finish of the phone?
 
I went and messed with a g3 at lunch today. I installed the old nexus s microbes live wallpaper on it and man they are tiny as hell cause of the screen resolution. I use that wallpaper on my note 2 currently. Only wish they had the white one on display too.

Also has anyone tried hulu plus and hbo go on the g3 yet? After the kitkat update on the note 2 video from both are laggy and choppy.

Amen on the SG3 GPS issues.....that was the reason I gave up on it. Went to a Droid DNA and it was night and day.
I went through 3 SG3's before the Verizon tech told me that it was a known issue.....they actually suggested the DNA and traded it straight out for the SG3. If you are persistent maybe you can get them to do the same for you.

Ended up getting an HTC One than a Note 3 later, I was skeptical about getting the Note 3 but thankfully Sammy fixed the GPS issues and it works as per design.

Has anyone extensively tried/tested the GPS on the LG G3? I travel A LOT for my job, and I use Google Maps for navigation often. The one problem I have with my current phone (Samsung Galaxy S3) is that it will not hold/pick up a strong GPS signal. Apparently it's a common problem with the Galaxy S3. I have tried all of the common (and unlikely) fixes, including tightening all internal screws, etc...but nothing seems to work. I am due for an upgrade, and the LG G3 has been on my radar for quite some time. Anyone have any input on their experience with GPS/Navigation on the LG G3 yet?
 
I hear ya, I really like the size and look of the G3 though. The Note 3 has been remarkable in every regard....it's just a tad big.
I'll wait and see....maybe I can pick one up for a little less than retail on Swappa later. The good news is I should be able to get about $350 for the N3.

I think if you have a Note 3, you should wait for the 4 or for something new. That's a lot of money for an incremental upgrade. I'm coming from a Droid RAZR Maxx and I know I'll be floored.
 
What's the best way to transfer pictures and sms to the LG g3. The LG back up app isn't working because this phone doesn't have the "receive" feature.

Best Buy got my pre-order today, so it was only a one day delay. Question: Does anyone use Message+ for SMS? Is it worth it?
 
I use g cloud app for call history and Amazon cloud drive for pics. Bothe work great and are free

Just picked mine up from Verizon.

Picked up my G3 yesterday. After charging my iPhone for the second time yesterday I decided to go to Brett but and buy the G3. Thought about going back to the Note 3 but after seeing and reading about this bad boy I had to get it. So far I really enjoy it.
 
Just got mine yesterday from Verizon. The funny thing is that I was trying to "kill" the battery to do a full 0 to 100% battery cycle, but the damn thing wouldn't die! I left the Verizon store at about 4:30 with 49% battery and it didn't die until around 11. That was with moderate to heavy usage. Downloading and updating all my apps. Sending texts that I got a new phone. A little customization and setting changes. Web browsing. Bluetooth enabled during my 30 minute drive to my friend's house with music streaming. Screen brightness at 60% with auto unchecked.

Can't wait to test this thing out on Monday on a full day of normal use at work and such. It's the weekend so now its just leisurely being used. Off to the side while I play PS4.
 
just realized if I end up buying this off of Swappa, I wouldn't be able to send it in for any type of replacement if it goes bad like my Note 3 did...

ugh, what to do
 
Got mine yesterday. I think I actually like the full black on the front better than the grey but I am glad they kept the mettaloc grey on the rear. From the pics on the site I was worried it was going to be a jet black battery door.
