Lol Yea I just got it and wow not one review explain how amazingly amazing this screen is just screen it feels like your holding a panel I haven't been excited for a phone in a long time including the s4 i5 nexus 4 note 2 etc etc this actually more so made me giddy when I first booting it up its like holy shi
[T-Mobile LG G2] ayman86:
Tracking number just updated. Delivery for tomorrow. Ground shipping Ftw! Lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
You'll be excited lol I'm pretty sure this phone is smaller than the One
[T-Mobile LG G2] 20degrees:
Im excited and im typing this with a brand new s4.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
It feels some how smaller than the s4 which is strange to say I know lol but Lg is gonna sell a mother load of these
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
It is! I'm shocked at how small it is. Doesn't feel any larger than my nexus 4. That screen!

VERY impressed so far, and I wasn't that impressed with the optimus g.

I wasn't actually impressed by anything this year other than boom speakers lol and I love the little drop down sms reply dealy and the call one as well so useful

Yet, people in this very forum DO mention lag. Guess what, Big Chief. I don't give a rats fat ass about what you are buying or not. Why would I lie? I'm keeping the phone, but it's there. Maybe you should buy one yourself before you start talking about of your big pie hole.
[T-Mobile LG G2] vince2398:
Does anyone know if the T-mobile G2 have the same LTE bands as AT&T?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
Wow. Someone's got an attitude problem. No wonder this place has gotten a bad reputation.
[T-Mobile LG G2] mike2518:
Have you rebooted this multiple times? If that doesn't help, try doing a complete factory reset and see if that does anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2] arctic84:
I found my tracking number through the tmobile website under order status. It's shipped but I didn't even get an update via email.. so you may want to check :)
[T-Mobile LG G2] EuroSpeed:
Did anybody else cancel their order and have tmobile still ship out the phone? I cancelled my order on Saturday, this morning I get two emails showing that my card has been charged for the phone and another for the free case. Just checked the tracking number on tmobile and ups has an estimated delivery of Friday. Lol. Not sure what's going on. I hope I get it Friday.
[T-Mobile LG G2] ayman86:
out for delivery! come on fast work day!
[T-Mobile LG G2] Semantics:
Call someone a liar and that's what happens. Seeing how active and helpful you've been on the forums, you will be missed terribly.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Semantics:
I have rebooted several times. Not really looking forward to a factory reset but I'm going to try that next. I'm not suggesting the phone us unusable, its just not very smooth for me coming from the N4. There are too many things I really like about the phone to consider returning it.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
I'm on board now. This thing hasn't shown a bit of lag in the 10 or so minutes I've spent setting it up.

[T-Mobile LG G2] eduardmc:
Received my phone (upgrade) and to my surprise a windows case was included. Cool phone, but some how HTC ONE looks MUCH more mature while this one looks like a kids toy. Cartoony touchwiz like launcher theme. I think i made a mistake aswell ordering white, it just doesn't look right (like GS4 does). The back pattern pearl white looks nice, but the front bezel is a different type of whites (no patterns) which makes it look cheap.

Battery is awesome and phone is ice cold (not even warm), speakers are great (even coming from a HTC ONE). Phone feel really fast but just like any android phone a few app and menus will lag and stutter. Don't believe what anyone says about ZERO LAG, this is not about if the phone is fast or no, it just about how android is right now. Scrolling in the setting u can see your usual android stutte. HTC ONE launcher is actually smoother.

EDIT:

This phone is amazing in recharging unlike the HTC ONE. I went from 70% to 100% like in 20 minutes.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jimmiekain:
When you get yours would you mind doing a comparison of the loud speakers for speakerphone and YouTube watching? Gsmarena.com says the loud speaker performance on the g2 is not good. I talk on speakerphone a lot and the loudness of the speakers is important to me.
[T-Mobile LG G2] 20degrees:
The s4 sends a little louder to me. The g2 is loud enough to hear though.

The g2 is definitely the keeper for me out of the 2 though.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jimmiekain:
I won't have issues hearing people when I talk on speakerphone or when hearing YouTube videos though right?
[T-Mobile LG G2] 20degrees:
Nope. I don't anyways.

Side note: sub otg works great with my Samsung otg cable. Wonder if hdmi out will? Gonna try it now.

Edit: usb hdmi out is a no go. ?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Nick12484:
Got mine today and so far I'm loving it!! Super fast, no lag! My only complaint, and it's very minor, is that stupid "Swipe in any direction to unlock" on the lock screen. Trivial I know, but I wish there was a way to make it go away. Checked settings, but I can't find anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2] radlink14:
I got mine today.

Lags/stutters randomly -- opening message / opening an app / scrolling through app drawer

Double tap is not responsive when waking phone, only when putting to sleep.

Camera is sluggish as hell, except the picture is excellent.

I am really disappointed, my s4 is more responsive.

Factory reset did nothing either.
[T-Mobile LG G2] 20degrees:
Total opposite for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
Mine is super fast too. There's no way this could ever be compared to the S4 performance wise. However, I can no longer send texts or mms but I can receive both. T-Mobile has not been able to fix it. Sigh.
[T-Mobile LG G2] nismology:
This phone flies. I think people are looking for something to complain about when talking about responsiveness or "lag" (what does that even mean anymore?). I'm impressed that this phone handles USB-OTG natively and recognized my flash drive right away and automatically mounted it. The manual g-sensor recalibration was also a pleasant surprise. And coming from Samsung devices, the damn near instant GPS locks are completely foreign to me. Didn't even know it was possible. On and on and on......... :D
[T-Mobile LG G2] mikea3000:
,I a to ordered another G2. Cant believe orders being placed now are still being back ordered. I placed my order last night and this morning, my email said back orderd.

Anyone else recently order and get back ordred?

thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2] ayman86:
i wouldnt worry about that mike.

order late friday night, backordered email on saturday. tracking number on tuesday evening. delivered on wednesday. ground shipping from KY to chicago
[T-Mobile LG G2] nismology:
I placed my order on tuesday and got it overnighted. Guess I was lucky? :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2] tri0xinn:
man.. what a wait! I ordered 3 times.. the first 2 were cancelled out by tmobile in those glitchy order problems they had in the beginning ... both of those time I had selected next day shipping.. of course the 3rd time I forgot to checkmark the next day selection and the stinkin order went through.. phone has been trucking across the US at a snails pace.. when they say 7 to 10 business days they mean it. Friggin Tmobile! I ordered some sls free toothpaste from Upstate NewYork.. yesterday at lunch.. and now it's sitting at my UPS store box in Tacoma Wa. for $3.00 on Amazon prime.:eek:
[T-Mobile LG G2] mike2518:
I ordered on Monday evening, got a backorder email Tuesday, then got a processed and shipped email Wednesday with ground shipping expected to arrive Friday. Of course, after all those nexus 5 leaks recently and that backorder email from T-Mobile, I've decided to return the phone without even opening it and just wait for the nexus 5. This way I can avoid the restocking fee. The weird thing is that I called T-mobile right after i got that backorder email on Tuesday to cancel the whole thing, which she said she did, but still got that order processed and shipped email on Wednesday.

Now having the phone in my hands tomorrow is making it really hard for me to just return it and get the nexus 5. What do u guys suggest I do?
[T-Mobile LG G2] ayman86:
I have yet to know a nexus device that had great battery life. That's enough for me not to get it. Especially with the leaks at 2300mah
[T-Mobile LG G2] mike2518:
So true man, coming from my galaxy nexus and seeing my brother's nexus 4, I know the battery bites in these things. I think the rumored battery size is 2600mah, if I'm not mistaken, but I'm sure that it'll still suck.
[T-Mobile LG G2] mikea3000:
Just heard from TMO that the G2 is on a 5 day backorder.
[T-Mobile LG G2] radlink14:
Lucky you. My expectations may be higher.

Even when clicking the message pop up it takes a sec to get to. I expected everything on this phone to be instant.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
I'm not going to return or exchange it but my phone has two small hairline cracks by the edge of the camera. You'd never notice unless you were eyeballing it for imperfections.
[T-Mobile LG G2] ayman86:
i would. eventually those hairline cracks will become bigger and then you wont be able to take a pic with a shattered glass.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
Well it's not on the camera. It's on the plastic body. I'll try to take a picture of it right now and maybe I can get some opinions.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
Hopefully it can be seen. Like I said, it's not easily visible unless you look.
[T-Mobile LG G2] ayman86:
cant really see it but if its just the plastic body. you can always get a replacement down the line since its removable.

upto you.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
I think I'm gonna hold onto it for now. I mean I didn't even see it until I took it out of the case and was making sure the phone didn't have any scratches from the T-Mobile people setting it down without the case. At least it gives a good idea where it is. Hopefully it doesn't get any worse. I wonder if our back covers pop off as easily as Verizon's and AT&T's.
[T-Mobile LG G2] 20degrees:
Well after 2days,I'm still really loving this phone. Is such a refresh from the old stuff.

I'm still trying to decide on a case or not and ain't even using a screen protector.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
What sucks is this phone is getting slammed on reviews. I just don't see the issues...
[T-Mobile LG G2] vince2398:
Does anyone know if the T-mobile G2 have AT&T LTE bands also?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Nick12484:
Anyone else who ordered a white G2 around the 7th still on backorder? Upgraded two lines, one a black G2 the other a white. Received the black G2 on the 18th, but the white is still apparently backordered. Tried calling in, but can't seem to get someone in the US even calling from different numbers. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat with the white version.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
I ordered on the 8th and received mine on the 18th. You should call from a different phone and raise hell.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
The only issue I've had is the lock screen notification shade animation. Because its doing so much, it ALWAYS freezes and stutters about halfway down. (Right when the nav buttons appear) It only happens when you swipe it and let it fall. (Not if you drag your finger from top to bottom)
[T-Mobile LG G2] bgaccord:
Order the white one Friday sep 13 and got shipped same day

[T-Mobile LG G2] tri0xinn:
Just received mine today .. actually sooner than I was thinking. .. Anyway my initial impressions are good. Screen is not a let down.. I was worried the contrast was gonna disappoint but so far so good.. not quite as good as the note2.. but the res and ppi make up for the small contrast difference. Next is the Camera.. wow.. I'm surprised people aren't talking about the 60fps 1080p recording, silky smooth! Gone are the days of jelly/jello vision while panning. I haven't messed with it much but so far I am very pleased with the camera/video! Not having a Sdcard slot is disappointing.. not necessarily for the space although thats obviously a concern a little.. but for convenience. I have a 32gb card I've been using for a year or so now and I'm having to go through and pick out what is absolutely necessary and then transfer via pc which isn't difficult but annoying. As far as space I have Skydrive linked up so all files are accessable anywhere I'm connected.. which is everywhere! kinda. Back buttons so far are not an issue.. a little bit to get used to. Knock on .. knock off works good.. except when your using Apex launcher.. Knock on works but knock off doesn't.. although knock on is the most important to me. As far as size.. I'm really liking it.. feels just about right in the hand in every way. I'm heading to my ups box now to pick up my diztronic ultra thin matte finish case and my Spigen super ultra clear HD screen protectors. I'll follow up on my thoughts on those after I install.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jimmiekain:
I went to the AT&T store today and played with one. That phone was so amazing that one of the people in line to buy the new iPhone came out of line ask me about it. I told him all about it and try to convince him to get it instead but he went with the iPhone anyway. I am definitely going to buy the new g2 next week from t-mobile. If I could I'd order it today but for some reason its not showing up on the corporate discount website. I played with the screen, messed around with the volume, and took a bunch of pictures and videos. I was super impressed with everything about the phone and I do mean everything can't wait to get my own on t-mobile.

I gonna get the black one.
[T-Mobile LG G2] droid_<3er:
Why does the Tmo G2 have a 2.4MP front camera but the AT&T / VZW ones have a 2.1MP? Will this cause some big compatibility problems?
[T-Mobile LG G2] bgaccord:
I agree with u. This phone is so nice.anybody who is thinking of getting it. Do it. U wont regret it. Better than htc one and the gs4
[T-Mobile LG G2] Semantics:
It's an amazing phone. We need to get a dev on board for some T-Mobile ROMS, doesn't look like we're getting any love from the AT&T dev. Hopefully, someone with skills that uses T-Mobile will pick one up.
[T-Mobile LG G2] tri0xinn:
Personally I won't be rooting or rom'ing this dog.. with apex launcher and some tweeks I'm feeling pretty stock android'ish. Typically I rooted and rom'd for improving speed and battery life.. but not feeling the need at this point.. I also used to root to tether which is not necessary.. unless I start pushing the new 2.5gb tether limit.. then I might need to alter the user agent. ANYWAY.. so I received the case but not the screen protectors.. the case is pretty sweet .. as thin as a case could be... feels like it will add decent protection, the softtouch feels great.. not sure why the manufactures don't put this on their phones, kinda like the Nexus7 1st gen feel. Really liking it and this time I might have a case I might leave on. Some pics>>> Very difficult trying to get a decent pic.. especially with my old gs2.

I JUST bought my HTC One two days ago and saw this phone today @ AT&T. Now I want one. How is the call quality compared to the iPhone 5s and HTC One?

If it's better I'm taking my phone back since I'm still within my 14 days

Am I crazy for wanting to exchange my HTC One?
[T-Mobile LG G2] bgaccord:
CAll quality is great. But i think is better than htc one. Battery life cant even come close to the g2. Take it back n get tge g2 bro
[T-Mobile LG G2] Z51:
I've noticed this phone is great on battery. Only down 9 percent since I got it :)
[T-Mobile LG G2] radlink14:
It hurts me to see everyone is having good experiences with this phone and mine sucks :( interestingly enough, I had the opposite experience with my s4 after putting a ROM on it lol. I hope a ROM fixes my g2
[T-Mobile LG G2] mike2518:
Try a factory reset and see if that helps
[T-Mobile LG G2] tiguy99:
Happy to say I did just that yesterday. I was able to return the One to the store without paying the restock fee. They tried to give me a hard time but I ended up returning the phone free and clear.

I ordered the white G2 from Tmobile directly since no stores around Chicago seem to have any. How long did it take you guys to receive your phones when you ordered them?

I chose overnight shipping yesterday but I haven't received confirmation that my phone's shipped yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2] theo_yuxda:
yah most of the stores in Chicago don't have the white one yet, got the black one last night.loving this phone..i wanted the white one but the black area surrounding the screen of the white one is a little bit annoying.
[T-Mobile LG G2] tiguy99:
All you guys are lucky. I ordered my phone on Wednesday paid overnight shipping and still haven't got it. Spoke with several reps in the last few days re: the still processing message on tmobile.com

All they can say is the phone is in stock but they're not sure why it hasn't shipped.

Enjoy your phone over the weekend. I won't get mine until next week I'm told. At least I'm glad they're refunding the overnight shipping charges
[T-Mobile LG G2] smthkat789:
I read most of this thread and most of you are good with your G2 with only a few with problems.

The few that have problems, can you give the date and batch numbers and color that your G2 has.

I'm looking into getting the G2 and want to avoid the very few that may have quality issues during production.

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2] tiguy99:
Was told by tmobile all of the white G2s are on back order along with the iphone 5s. Just a heads up to anyone who wants to order the white G2. Hopefully it won't be too long before they come back in stock
[T-Mobile LG G2] WheresTrent:
I didn't feel this warranted a new thread, but to those of you who bought your G2 in-store, did you get a free Quick case? I saw on the bottom of the G2 page on T-Mobile's site says that it's online only. Most of what I've read about the case makes it seem like it's not a big deal, but it might also be nice to have on the side. I have a bad habit (more like avoiding awkward social situations :cool:) of checking my phone for the time, so this case would be good for that. Even though it offers next to no protection, it looks like.
[T-Mobile LG G2] shook187:
I got my free case in-store but I had T-Mobile note my account accordingly before I went to the store to make my purchase. Of course the store told me they shouldn't have done that and didn't want to give it to me but they gave it to me anyway. And of course I put the case on eBay which is currently still there.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jce8419:
I got my G2 finally and after playing with it for a week or so, I'm now sending it back to TMO. I've decided it's not what I thought it would be and I'm going to go with the Note 3 instead.
[T-Mobile LG G2] tiguy99:
Finally got my G2 today & will say im very impressed. Spoke on my first call for over an hour and a half while surfing the web on LTE and didnt see a drop in battery life.

Also found the option to improve voice quality during a call and heard it get louder and fuller in the earphone. I then connected my Plantronics Voyager Legend bluetooth and discovered the compatibility with this phone is excellent with nice call clarity, volume and range which was much better compared to my HTC One i had for a week.

So far im very happy with it.

P.S

The white model looks sick in person
[T-Mobile LG G2] Z51:
Care to elaborate?

TapaTalked From My G2
[T-Mobile LG G2] jce8419:
Well, basically, I didn't think the buttons on the screen would be an issue for me, even though it was the first time I had ever had a phone designed that way. It's just a preference thing, but I didn't like having even just a small part of the screen covered up with the buttons. Also, it was to hard for me to get used to the buttons on the back of the phone. Just felt weird to me. I guess the final straw came when I noticed not that much developer support on the forum yet and I was getting anxious wanting to get started with some custom roms. Just decided since I was still within the 21 day "buyers remorse" period that I would give the Note 3 a try. Samsung has a lot of support on here for many devices and they are more universal. There will be many roms to come for it since the Note 2 and G4 have more similar components. Just my preference.. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2] WheresTrent:
The source files from LG were just posted. I'm going to sit back, watch the masters work (now that source is out there), and decide what I want to do after I've had a chance to assess the stock features and decide if I want to move to a ROM.

[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
It's starting to sound like that rep who advised me yesterday was actually correct. She did seem legitimately bothered by the misinformation we were all given and put me on hold several times to look further and even ask supervisors information. You might (but I highly doubt it) get a late shipping notice like I did with the HTC One. I had mine in hand about 2 weeks before release and we are just about 1 week before it's official release so I don't know if we're waiting on T-Mobile or LG at this point.
[T-Mobile LG G2] akong702:
Yeah, it looks like I'm going to have to wait. It's already the end of the shipping day, and still no updates from T-Mobile. Oh well, I hate waiting, and my hype for the phone is slowly wearing off :(
