Hi Yat!

I did try that "Universal Remote" feature but it didn't seem to work, by third attempt i gave up because the functionality of my Set Top box had features on the LG Optimus Pro that the Universal wouldn't of offered. Plus even tho i said the Q Voice in Korean was no biggie, i really wanted to be able to occasionally use it. Its ok, the T-Mobile version has its good points also, i'm just happy T-Moble even sells it and i don't have to do without a LG G2 being the Korean version didn't work out for me!

You probably have seen from the other thread.

Battery is awesome. Not up to my good old note 2 level. But definitely better than my gs3 lte (exynos) by 10-15 percent. This is with the 2600mah Korean battery. So, I think it is safe to assume 30% better than a gs3 if you have the 3000 mah us version. I can start the day from 8am and last till around 12am...around 16+ hours.

Sms and mms are all good.

I was considering g2 or the nexus 5. In the end, i went with the g2 because it has the 3000 mah battery. Keep in mind that the nexus 5 only has a 2300 mah, which is much smaller than this one, so I'm sure the battery life will suck.

With the built in dialer, no. But you can edit tab to make the recent/call log tab next to the dialer. This make it one swipe from going into recent.

Use dialer one, and you will get all you need and fully customizable.

How is Wi-Fi reception? And did you test out the IR blaster, Pocker-lint was saying that the IR was weak, is it true? How far from can the remote actually work?

Also,

1. Can you make a video of speaker output while playing a song, better if you have other phones to compare with.

2. Does the keys behind get scratched due to its natural resting position?

3. Is it a finger print Magnet?

4. Well, GSM arena says it says Gorilla Glass 2, but other websites claim it is 3. So is it necessary to have a screen protector? or GG 3 does a good job, resisting those scratches?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatbond:
Wifi is great.

The ir is weak. I seem to have trouble with a distance around 3 meters

Black is a finger print magnet. But I heard white is great.

I use screen protector, and can't answer.

I also have a thin hard case (around 8 bucks) and that is sufficient to raise the phone eniugh prevent scratching on the back button.

Will see whether be able make a video on speaker volume. But if you root, I believe there is a mod to increase volume.

I am going to buy the Korean version ?? why didn't you like it ??
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ms.Dummbunny:
I did like it but I just wasn't prepared for the Korean features to get in the way as much as they did...Even tho it was "carrier UNlocked", it STILL had many features that were linked to KT Telecom, and when you have a phone who's native language is Korean and you are American, you can run into issues you didn't count on long after your 14 day remorse period is passed.

T-Mobile's version turned out to suit me better because there is LTE in my area, the 3000 mAh battery seemed to last much longer than the 2600 removavble battery did, the Remote control had all American Off Brands to choose from, Q Voice was in English, and there were no "non removable carrier icons with Korean lettering cluttering up my screen"... : )

Ms D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipmanwck:
Thanks fir reply. And love your videos. )

The thing for me is I am hoping to keep handset for a while and was on SGS4 then jumped to HTC one (mistake) and found 32gb is just not enough as like to keep films for my kid on my phone plus loads of games and apps so need expandable storage.

Hope I get on ok with it ??? If it's just s voice in Korean...oh sorry what ever they call it.. I can cope. If the system language and dictionaries can't be changed to English-language this maybe more of an issue.

Regarding LTE I am fine with H+ and 3g. No worries here.

Last thing I really like how you call the language English not American. That's very rare.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ms.Dummbunny:
ty (about my vids : ) Well, it sounds like Korean version might work out for you, i was able to get 3G/HSPA+ speeds (2-6 mbps), the dictionaries can be changed and yes, the O/S was 99% in English.

I can understand the kids/games requiring removable storage, sounds like it could def be a dealbreaker if the phone has finite amt of storage.

I hope u ordered from Negri Electronics, they are awesome to deal with it, and were very understanding about my issues and took back the device with no hassle and handled my refund promptly. But i will admit, i barely used the item, i opened all the lil baggies at the seams, left the plastics on while using it and returned the device as new as DAY ONE, so they were especially gracious due to that : )

good luck w/ it, Korean version/American version, TimBukTu version, this phone rocks my socks!

I might be missing on a special UK / US custom agreement, but I'm fairly sure customs aren't included in the purchase. I'd be tempted to order a 32GB version otherwise since it's only 525€ with postage included, but customs would totally kill the deal.

Wow, wish I had your luck. Even without the perks I'd kill to buy the 32GB G2 at that price.

Around here, for a total price of 525€ I'm pretty sure the customs alone would be 100€ at the very least (23% VAT + random fee). The best scenario would be having someone to bring me one from the US in order to avoid at least customs.

I hope you don't get that harsh a hit from customs, if at all :cool:

For OP - by now, your phone's battery has already stabilized, how many hours and how much screen time are you getting from a single charge? Is the removable battery and external sd a good trade-off for the 390 mAh?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatbond:
This phone easily last me the whole day; and therefore, the tradeoff is great. And I have a spare in my bag, just in case. So this is a better set up for me.

As for screen on, I can get 3+ with 2 hours talk on the phone.

This is better than all my previous phones (gs2 and 3) except note 2. Please understand that in Hong Kong, I never get the kind of battery life others report. I believe it is due to the large interference or congested radio signals.... Just my guess. So, I would say expect 15% better than a gs3.

what do you feel about G2 now, since you were using optimus g pro. Where does the g2 fair? and personally do you like it more than optimus g pro?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superandroid2011:
To people who have a G2 right now.

I own a Octa S4 with the latest firmware and honestly I like it very much.

The only drawback in my opnion is the GPU, it is a little better than Adreno 320, but falls behind Adreno 330, PowerVR G6430 (iPhone 5s) and Mali-T628 MP6 (Note 3 Exynos). The Mali definitely tops them all (as today).

So I want the latest and greatest phone.

The Note 3 Exynos is, IMHO, the best hardware right now, but two things holds me back: Its size and getting a Sammy 5th time in a row by having before S1, S2, S3, S4. Before those I had a Motorola Milestone (first android for me).

Maybe is time for a change.

I want an Android phone which can run latest 3D games buttery smooth, and I mean 60fps all the time.

LG G2 is the second best option, but one big concern holds me and I want your opinion.

How much annoying is having onscreen buttons all the time? I mean, on home screen is acceptable, but what about when running fullscreen apps? Specially games, does it annoy you?

On these three possible configurations: "All on-screen buttons", "all soft buttons" and "2 soft + 1 hardware" I honestly preffer all soft.

So, how is really the day to day usage with all onscreen buttons? By rooting is possible to hide them when gaming?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatbond:
Superandroid,

I posted some photos previously on using Auto Hide Softkey App to hide the soft keys after rooting. I found this to be the best.

You get full screen and also don't have to worry about the capacitive soft keys, which every time I pass my phone to someone, they always touch them (iPhone users obviously).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superandroid2011:
Thanks, I saw that post but it is not clear if it only hides on home screen and apps or also when gaming on fullscreen, which is my main concern.

Does it hide when gaming on fullscreen?

If it hides, how the game adapts to that? It just stretches or it actually makes use of the extra pixels?

It doesn't compare. The LG G2 Is better in every single way EXCEPT it is almost the same performance wise. My LG OG Pro never stuttered or missed a beat, and of course neither does the G2. I'm pasting the things I found it does way better from a post where someone asked me what's better about the G2 vs the Pro..

1 Volume Control in notifications

2 Share & Connect - Wireless Storage ( it assigns a ip address and you can access phone storage via your browser when connected to your network)

3. OG Pro really good battery life, but G2 is about 30 to 40 % more. Amazing. I have unlimited data on T-Mo, so i listen to you tube trials all day at work with "floating youtube" ap that allows u to turn off device. On G Pro i got approx 8 hrs 1st day and 2 hrs next day before recharge needed. On LG, it goes the FULL 2 days of listening to youtube - they have REALLY optimized battery settings : )

4.SIZE SIZE SIZE (soooo much more comfortable to hold and use, the OG O Pro feels "brick-like when I pick it up now (still LOVE it tho : )

5 Even nicer screen (if possible, OG Pro's screen is really nice)

6 The quick Window case is not available for OG Pro, just a reg flip cover. I love the added functionality and 3 diff windows that appear when LG G2 is closed

7 (of course) Knock on feature

8. there's now a "data" on off toggle in the top tray that isn't in my OG Pro (i use it ll the time : )

9There's about 20 apps in Qslide INCLUDING an Internet browser vs the 4 apps in OG pro Qslide10

10 Theres now Q Voice on LG G2 (Onboard talking assistant)

11 "Slide aside" Not completely neccessary but fun as hell to use

12 MUCH better camera and with Optical Image Staybilization (makes a big difference when filming video)...

13 On board multi picture wallpapers for diff home screens

14 I had my OG Pro on Tmobile so my speeds (whle good) were'nt up to same as running T-Mobile's G2 ON Tmobile

I'm sure there are many more but those are just off top of my head!

To be 100% honest I was truly shocked at the difference. When I FIRST got the Korean Version, out of box it was at 54%. I used it for about an hour and a half setting it up and it was at 23%... When I got my T-Mobile version, it came at 52% out of box, and after setting it up for at least an hour and a half to 2 hours, it was at 41%. Over the subsequent 2-3 days I had with the Korean version I noticed battery life dropping approx. 5-6% with average use, whereas my T-Mo version only using 2-3% with same use. I would venture to say its almost TWICE the battery life which I know doesn't make sense since its only approx. 15% diff mAh, but truly the battery life just astounds me.

NFC on all the time, wifi, data, Bluetooth all are on ALL day, in standby mode with those options on I get approx. 10 hours where the battery doesn't even move off 100%... The Korean version did not deliver the same experience in terms of the whole time I had it, I was never once saying, "wow" at battery life. It ALMOST seemed to drain the same as Nexus 4.

(Not wanting to knock the Korean version, I have a feeling the majority of the drain was due to it only having one of the frequency bands I used here on T-Mo, so perhaps it was constantly trying to find its native carriers LTE network, and I didn't know how to change that in the ussd code.)

Hope this helps.
