Yes. It does gets hot.

But fortunately, the earpiece stays a little warm only. I feel that my old gs3 earpiece was worse. I don't have gs4. I remember my sweat was all over the phone in summer after talking for 30 minutes with gs3. G2 is better. But the back is very very warm.

For flac... I just tried. I can tell that the music (I listen to vocal stuff, mariah carey... Don't laugh if you don't like her) it is pretty darn good with my shure 535. But you know music is a pretty personal thing.

My question is does the screen wake when receiving a text if so can this be turned off, that was a huge downfall for me with the g pro. Also can the knock to wake be turned off?

Thanks in advance.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatbond:
The messaging is still the same same. The screen turns on. Yes, it is pretty stupid.

The only way around is to turn off the notification from the messaging app. But then you only get the led blink but no sound. Therefore, 3rd party app is the only way around to get sound notification without screen to turn on.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Well, maybe I'm in the minority because I love screen wake for text messaging. One of the only things that I love about my S4 lol.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clovis_ll:
how about the messaging? i had the G Pro before but returned it due to the fact that the stock messaging app doesnt seem to play

well with group text.. for instance, i send a group text to people and when each of those people replied, instead of their messages being in the

same thread as the group text i sent, the messaging app creates individual thread of my friends' replies..

is group messaging the same or is it different now?

Can you give an overview of your experience with the device?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatbond:
The questions are getting harder and harder. We have very picky users here....

I am checking group messaging right now. I think there got to be another messaging app that suits your needs, right? This can't be a deal breaker? Will come back when my friends reply.

For the experience....

I have never used such a smooth phone. I still think ios is still better in terms of smoothness but for Android, this is the best. But I haven't used a gs4 or one. I had a gs3 and note 2. I will play around a gs4 tonight.

Camera is awesome for low light. Photos are a little fuzzy but they totally usable. Also one of the best.

The screen is also one of the best. Look at the photos of the screen that I posted earlier.

Battery. Man, this thing is great on standby. I can't believe that I only lost 5 percent on standby in 6.5 hours on wifi.

This thing does eats battery when surfing and gaming.

Ergonomic. Excellent. I like one hand usage. This is great. The back button took me 3 days to get used to. But once you got used to.... It is great.

Ok. Just tried the gs4...g2 is definitely faster. Night photos are miles better with g2
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friguy3:
i HOPE that it does real group messaging like stock android and not like the S3/4 that only does it to other S3/4's. If it doesnt, oh well...Ill use Textra/GoSMS, not a deal breaker. And once its rooted I hope there is a LG UI ROM that keeps all their stuff but adds on this :)

strange question, how big is the led notification light? I'm pretty sure its full rgb, is their a way to customize that on stock? (like color presets or full out hex values?) is it bright enough? I hate the dimness/small size of the led on my one
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
I'd say it's a small hair smaller than the S4, but worlds larger than the One. The One's led light is a joke. And yes, it's full rgb, but you will need an app like Light Manager to have full control of the colors.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:

Which root method did you use? Most of them need 10k software I'm on 10m f320s
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ms.Dummbunny:
i worry that will be the one downfall to this device. When i "tax" its big brother the Optimus G Pro running Snap 600 (which is no slouch by ANY means- never a hesitation or stutter evr) it gets pretty hot. Its my understanding LG has hardware has ALWAYS had heat issues.

I went to AT&T and played with one today, and i have to say, it felt a tad warm (i'd estimate about 32 celsius) i loved the phone, but it actually was "way smaller, thinner, & lighter" than i was expecting. It actually felt too light to me, which usually translates to "feeling cheap"....in this case that was kind of true, but they only have the black one, and to me, black plastic phones almost always look cheap. In white they can sometimes look wayyyyy better, but then again, sometimes worse and "toy like" (i'm looking @ you HTC Vivid. lol)

Anway, the knock knock worked everytime, but it works best if you just tap/tap with fingertip, rather than with your knuckle. The "slide aside" was very cool, easy to use, and worked perfectly, even with 1st time use, i didn't need "practice"..very good feature...

The buttons were very easy to use and i could easily see adapting to that method of operating the device easy/peasy, but i couldn't get any of the "double functions" out of them. No camera launch or quick memo or anything, but now that i'm typing that, i tried it with the display on, i bet you have to have the phone "sleep mode"...duh! lol

I must say, i loved it overall, but sadly, i doubt i'd trade my Optimus G Pro for it (just got that phone 4 mos ago) But i can say with confidence ANYONE coming from a phone older than say, 6 mos, this is the phone to beat. I highly recommend it over ANY phone out, even The HTC One. Its awesome sauce, to be sure...

Here's a pic i took with its OIS camera vs my lil LG F3 5MP Phone:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkestred:
General inquiry:

I know these are fanless chips or maybe they have some sort of heat dissipation or maybe nothing...there are a lot of threads about phones getting hot but the way i see it where is the heat going to go? Computer builders build huge towers with huge fans and liquid cooling to keep temps down. Yet if you touch that chip...burn.

Is there one phone that doesn't get warm or hot when putting it through its paces?

I love the knock knock feature too, but i've notice sometimes i have to be a bit more firm with knock knock when the screen is off for it to register. When the phone is on, i can barely tap the screen and it shuts down. Not a gripe.

Follow the steps to remove dual clock

Step 1 launch quickshortcutmaker app

Step 2 choose incremental search and enter clock

Step 3 select roaming, ans you shall see a list of items under roaming

Step 4 select each one of the roaming clock item and press try

Step 5 make sure the dual clock is disabled

step 6 repeat step 4 and 5 for each of the item under roaming.

Hi yatbond,

I appreciate you reporting your finding for us to digest. I have some questions though:

1) Have to tried using lightFlow app? Does it work well?

2) How bad exactly is the knock on feature? Does it use a shock sensor or the capacitive screen if you know? If I were to mount this phone when I drive, there's no way I can access the back button.. lol

I'm coming from GS4 and the UI stutters are getting into my nerves.. so looking for alternatives :)

Some more answers

1) IR blaster remote

After experimenting, I am happy to report that there is one. I tried using the IR app but it didn't work. But the QRemote app works fantastically. You can create your own universal remote. And I can control my tv from my bed now. Thanks far raising the question.

2) knock on

I had problems before the update with success rate around 20%. After updating the firmware, I can say the success rate is over 90%. So, I think you will be fine. I don't turn the feature on anymore as a review says that it uses more battery.

3) lightflow

Wow. I heard of this app before but never tried it. It is so feature rich that I almost find it annoying. In any case, I tried sms, and it worked. I had to turn on the led notification on system (under display) but disable the sms on the display/led setting. But I can't get gmail notification led working. I am sure you will figure it out. I probably will use the system settings for my own need.

For the lte band, I attached the compatible frequencies for you to check. You have to check your service provider whether if they match.

For the long screenshot, you have use the stock browser. For my imported version, it is call capture all (menu, then select capture all) . It is a browser specific feature. Not built into the os. You can crop how much you want after the capture.

Is the screen raised above the body? It was hard to stick a screen protector because of curved screen edges on Nexus 4 - what about G2?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatbond:
I didn't apply the screen protector myself. The screen is slightly lifted above the edge with the last bit of the edge curved. Therefore, applying a screen protector that has full screen coverage may be difficult. Mine protector is about 2mm away from the edge.

For the front camera, I found it acceptable. I know everyone has different standards. I don't use the front camera from my previous phones and therefore can't compare. So, here are the samples.

First one from the front. Second one from the back. Both focusing on the baby powder bottle.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatbond:
I have the same phone as you. So, I don't really know what is wrong. Did you root?

Regarding lock screen, someone just removed it all together. So, I assume you can use titanium backup to freeze and remove lock screen and dual clock. I think that would be com.Lge.LockScreen. But you will have to try this on your own.

Warning : freezing something that you don't know can brick your phone.

One more thing for those that use blue tooth headsets. Turn off the media audio when you are only on the phone. I do this during my work hours and only turn on media audio after my work hours for music streaming. I found that it uses a lot of battery even on standby when media audio is connected. Just go into blue tooth in setting and select your headset and turn it off.

Hi Yat!

ty! i also HAD to have rem bat & sd card so giving up 400 mAh is totally worth it to me) ...

Only downfall to having Korean version is Q Voice will NOT change to English. Even if you change the language (which i have) it will remain in Korean. I googled this, and it seems it is because Q Voice was ONLY available in Korea for about 6 mos or so, and even tho NOW Q Voice is available in many other languages, since mine is a Korean handset, it will never receive a Q Voice update in English. If some of y'all root ur phone, there soon may be an English Q Voice apk at some point, but i personally will NOT mess with this phones innards, i've been the rooting/roming route,but on the American versions of all the phones i've rooted, i won't take a chance messing with a phone who's native language might give me some warning in Korean... That happened to me with an ap i once downloaded that for some reason came over in Chinese and i just hit the "right" button thinking i was hitting cancel and it bricked my phone... Not fun!

Enjoying the experience on this phone unlike any other i've ever owned (AND i have had them ALL : ) LG...who'd of thunk it?!

how much is the "custom tax" going to be?

i was going to get mine from Ebay but felt a little better using Negri.. Mine was $759.00 but no tax...

Only used them once before but they had to cancel due to incorrect inventory and they were quick to contact me and refund was immediate & painless... Plus all the reviewers say they are great to deal with. My final decision came when i tweeted the owner (Ryan@Negri) to ask if Korean Model would work in Texas and he tweeted an answer back pretty quick! Their service is better than ordering a Nexus from Google...lol

I did pay for expeditited shipping tho (2 Day Fed Ex $27.00) i ordered it Sat afternoon and it was at my door Tuesday mid morning....Overnight shipping was $114.00....but it wouldn't of been delivered till Monday...$$100 difference for just a day earlier? No thanks!

Either way, i think the extra battery, the charging dock that doubles as a stand (love THAT) and the Quad Beat headphones (they sound amazing) makes paying the extra $$$$ worth it. Sometimes its not "just about a bargain" : )
