What accessories are out for the OGPro so far? Ive only seen the factory flip cover.I sure hope they better with accessories than they did with the Optimus G.

LG Folio Case
Incipio Dual Pro Shine (various colors)
Spigen releasing Ultra Fit cases May 23rd
Ringke releasing June 1st
There are also some nice minimalist clip on and TPU cases available from Amazon.

I'm seriously thinking about selling my nexus ⁴ and getting this straight cash from AT&T. I mean $549 is a SICK price for this ridiculous hardware but my question is will AT&T unlock the phone if I do this so I can put it on T-Mobile?

I purchased full price like I always do. You can call their customer service or use their online chat to get them to unlock the phone. The will try and give you the it's an exclusive phone so you have to wait yada yada, but if you push for the unlock code, you will get it.

Thanks! I think I'm going to have to use AT&T's 14 days and run it through its paces. If the camera doesn't stand up to my One X I'll just pay the $35 "restocking fee" and bring it back!
I wish I could run my own camera test with the One, GS4, GPro AND, just for fun, the One X. I would love to see how my year old camera compares to today's best!

If the AT&T version is unlocked, will it get LTE on TMobile or just HSPA+ or HSPA?

Any current ATT LTE phone (unlocked) should work on Tmobile's LTE band, it uses the same frequency. You should also get Tmobile's 3g band (1900), if it's available in your area.

Not always true. There are quite a few ATT phone that don't work on Tmobiles LTE.

Does anyone know how to remove the recent app from the home button? You hold down the home button and it opens recent apps. How do I disable the home button to do that?

Does the ATT GPro have wireless charging?

You'll definitely want to check it out. I never noticed soft photos and rarely found a situation in which the Pro was unable to produce great results. It lacks some of the bells and whistles of its competitors (including a Drama Mode equivalent) but it makes up for it in quality.

Well, from testing it, we can only hope that LG continues to "copy" some of the more interesting sammie features because they do seem more polished on the G Pro, from my initial tinkering, the UX looks way more thought through and has good brand unity. Will do more messing around.

Yes it does have wireless charging. You can actually use the Nokia charging pad sold at AT&T and it works with the G Pro.

Hey there Android Central!
I'm an android user. I have used complete Samsung Galaxy S (1 to 3) and Note (both 1 and 2) phones. Currently, I'm using the Xperia Z and loving it.
In Pakistan, the Optimus G Pro will be launched in June-July. I have read every G Pro's review and considering to buy it.
Which phone do you recommend me to buy in a few months? The S4 or the G Pro? Keep in mind that now I am used to the TouchWiz UI and kind of bored of it!

In case you haven't figured it out, pinch your fingers together on one of the home screens and then tap on the plus sign. You can have 7 home screens.

Thanks so much. That was one pitfall I did not like about the one, but i had overcome.

I tried it on the stock browser and the double tap zoom didn't work. I then tried it on Chrome and it did work.

Try it on ign.com
I have never gotten it to work there.

Not sure what else to try. Just set mine up again after factory reboot. Is it your tv and satellite?
