Why do all the videos I play (no matter where I play them, Internet, YouTube etc.) play out of sync? It's very annoying!

Sorry, it's not happening to me. Everything plays very well.

I hate to suggest it because it's a pain, but factory reset?

I believe T-Mobile uses 1700 and 2100, depending on area. Olleh appears to use 850, 900, and 1800 for LTE, though they do use 2100 for W-CDMA.

If you were in an area where T-Mo was using 2100, it's POSSIBLE you might get LTE, but it depends on whether the firmware on the phone could support LTE on that frequency. In any case, you'd have to be in a place where they do, and T-Mo shifts their spectrum around from time to time as do all carriers, so what works today may not work tomorrow unless you bought a phone from them.

I have two stylii, one is the rubbery-tip kind and the other is the soft-metal-mesh kind. They both work just fine with my OGP, as they are bog-standard capacitive stylii that each cost me under a buck (well, the metal-mesh was a little more, but it's got a pen and a laser pointer).

I've never tried a Galaxy stylus, but they may use some different tech. I can't for the life of me imagine why, but...

Got a Galaxy Note 8 a few nights ago, its Stylus doesn't work with the G Pro at all. Maybe I'll buy a case with a place for a Stylus and a regular Stylus for the G Pro when I get some money, but it's not really a high priority.

Can anybody see music track info from Google Play Music streaming through Bluetooth in their car? I have a 2013 Honda Accord and I've connected a Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note II, HTC One, and a Nexus 4 (with Android 4.3), and they all showed the music info up on the screen. With the Optimus G Pro, the track's info (artist, song, album) all say "UNKNOWN".

Any details of launch ETA for this device on Sprint?

It shows the tracks in my car. I have a Sony xplode deck.

My lg Optimus G Pro will not keep my wifi saved. I constantly have to reenter the password every time I want to get on the wifi. Anyone know why?

I'm a newbie and can't seem to use Bluetooth to play music in my Chevy Malibu 2012. It works in phone mode.

Thanks

Do you have to enable Stylus detection on the OGP? If so, how do I enable it? I noticed that my Galaxy Note 8.0 let's you disable pen detection, so I figured it might be something you'd have to turn on with the OGP since it doesn't come with one but is compatible.

The OGP sees a stylus as a finger. No software. No settings.

Thanks. I guess I'll just have to buy a normal stylus for it at some point.

For further explanation.

The Note has a special stylus specifically designed to work with its hardware. They do not work on other phones at all, you can only use a rubber tipped stylus on most phones. The silly thick rubber tips are meant to simulate a finger press, and it's not possible to make a rubber tip thin enough to compare to a Note stylus. I believe the Note stylus communicates wirelessly, and that is how it functions. Since no manufacturer sells a wireless stylus seperate from the Note hardware, no other phone will support detection of a wireless stylus.

I find the G Pro fits my needs perfectly, but I have somewhat large hands. I can operate it pretty comfortably with a single hand - though the upper corner can be hard to reach when holding it naturally. A number of other people, including my wife, have found the G Pro is much too big for them to even try to use one-handed.

It's a little too large to fit in a jeans pocket and feel comfortable sitting down for fear of breaking the screen. If you carry your phone around in your pocket it may not work well for you unless you wear pants with cargo pockets. I use a neoprene pouch that fits on my belt to carry it, so pocketability is not that important to me.

Thanks for your valuable review

When I got my new phone, the AT&T tech transferred all my contacts into it. I then got an app (Smooth Sync) that allowed me to get all my MAC contacts from the iCloud. Now I have double contacts. I don't know how to take out the AT&T contacts without deleting them one by one. How can I clean up my contacts list in this new phone?
