Yippee... Got my phone today. Gorgeous and beautiful.. Just setting it up..
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Verizon users are having an issue where current drivers aren't working.. So they can't adb into the phone.
[G2 General] randyspants:
I would also, should we start a pool to get someone interested?
[G2 General] jayochs:
dude hows your GPS lock?

im using GPS Test app, and its just not locking at all. it shows 27 sats in view, in use like 2-3 but it just isn't gettinga lock.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
My GPS works perfectly.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Mine locks super fast as well. Bum unit?
[G2 General] terakunomiya:
how about wifi? does it disconnect frequently?
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Not for me. Hasn't disconnected once yet.
[G2 General] jayochs:
guess it just took forevs that first time. locks pretty quickly now. i reset agps data, too, if that helps.

haven't even connected to wifi yet since getting the phone...i have unlimited data, so i use 4g all the time. at 10 gigs right now, and my cycle ends the 20th :)
[G2 General] bgaccord:
does the g2 use a nano sim or micro sim
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Micro.
[G2 General] trh1341:
I thought that was the Korean version

But no processor changes or anything big like that?
[G2 General] verks:
Well they took my money! Still no shipping update. It says shipping 11-13, hope that changes.
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
Probably be locked, not only is the G pro locked but AT&T said they were planning on locking down all devices from now on. Who knows the HTC One slipped through their fingers but they will try....
[G2 General] bri315317:
Ups says it will be here Tuesday :cool:
[G2 General] djkinetic:
My g2 just shipped got the text from ATT it will be here on Monday by 3 pm. Looks like they're shipping from Fort Worth, Texas.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
When did you order?
[G2 General] verks:
Man, Mine is still processing...... 31 hours later
[G2 General] djkinetic:
I ordered pretty much when the page went live around 12:05 am CST Friday.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Man that sucks..thing is the order status page for me has yet to post the tracking and I didn't get an email with shipping details... If they took the money out of your bank already though yours should ship soon.

When that happened I got the email that says the order was processed and prepared for shipping..that happened for me last night.. Then this morning They sent me the text with a tracking link for FedEx at the end of the URL is the tracking number.
[G2 General] verks:
They took my money yesterday afternoon. Yet to receive an email though. Or text.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
I'm with you, I haven't received anything yet either. I ordered around 3:00 pm pst though. So it wasn't exactly early.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Just a heads up guys you might receive a back order email, disregard it as its a an email being sent out in error. I just spoke to a CS Rep in the Ecare/Ecommerce Department. He said they show the warehouse has 1100 phones in stock, and he was able to also see that my phone was already shipped and picked up earlier this morning. Also if the phone was backordered he said the IMEI of the phone would not be available. So he assured me my phone is safe and on its way.
[G2 General] Funk2641:
Mine just shipped. Ordered Fri, coming monday

:D
[G2 General] ttdynamo:
Shipped

Been checking my order status every 10 minutes. Finally says shipped. It'll be here Tuesday. I ordered at 2:00 AM EST. :mad:
[G2 General] verks:
Mine shipped too. Have it by Monday!
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Damn, I'm jealous. Mine still says:

Phone/Device:*LG G2*Status :*Processing*Expected Ship Date:*Pending confirmationLast Updated:*Sep 6, 2013

Did it say that for everyone before shipping?
[G2 General] ttdynamo:
Yup mine showed the same status before changing to shipped earlier today.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Ok cool. Did you receive an email saying it shipped or did you have to check the page?
[G2 General] ttdynamo:
I kept refreshing the order status page like a madman.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
They sent me a message no email except the backorder email that is a system glitch according to the CSR.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Well, my status page hasn't changed so I guess I'm SOL until Monday. Which usually happens to me with stuff like this. :mad:
[G2 General] aaronc_98:
Is there any way to order if you don't want to add a new line or have an upgrade?

title says it all
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Yes its 575 off contract on the ATT webpage. Least the option was there when orders were opened up.
[G2 General] bricky23:
Att will charge $36 fee plus one month service, Even without contract. If I go with next plan, no $36 fee, but how early can I cancel? I have a go phone plan, and want to stay with that. But want to buy the phone as cheap as possible.

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

Even without a contract, $36 fee plus one month service. I have go phone plan, and want to keep it, but want to buy this phone as cheap as possible. If I go with the next plan, no $36 fee. How long till I can cancel? If I cancel right away, will I still have to pay for one month? If so, can I switch back to gophone at the end of that month, and just pay off the balance of the phone? 20 payments at $27 = $540. Is that what I would pay? What is the best way to go?
[G2 General] Swetnes:
If you go with the Next plan and you cancel the service you are correct you are on the hook for $540, even with a go phone plan. Only thing you might consider would be to get the phone on what ever plan you want with a new number. After you get the phone switch sims so your go phone sim is in your old phone and downgrade your plan to the cheapest att offers. Just a thought, or ditch you go phone all together and go with a post pay plan. You can get a mobile share plan with only one phone and get unlimited text & talk and less $ than an unlimited single user plan.
[G2 General] bricky23:
I am fine with paying $540. Just don't want to pay other fees. Gophone plan is $60. Next plan $90. If I am going to pay that, may as well go with contract.
[G2 General] jayochs:
atleast you can preorder it. i'm on verizon just waiting until thursday lol
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
My credit card hasn't even been charged yet. Do you think mine will ship on Monday?
[G2 General] Funk2641:
Probably. Today is Sunday, so I wouldn't expect any activity.
[G2 General] mahendra1020:
Does ATT model has pentaband LTE? In their website it only lists 4 bands.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Did anyone else order Friday afternoon and still not have had their phone ship? Just want to see if I'm alone here.
[G2 General] verks:
I'm opening my box as I type.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Damnit! LOL. You ordered early on Friday though right?
[G2 General] EVOme:
No pics of an ATT device yet? C'mon, guys!!!
[G2 General] djkinetic:
LOL nice, my fedex guy is still on his way, on the vehicle for delivery.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
LOL it is only 10 am CST.
[G2 General] justbenice:
Please have some pics asap !!! love to see them ! :P
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Won't be home for a couple hours but I'll post if someone doesn't best me to it.
[G2 General] computermilk:
Ordered on Friday at 10am'ish,

Bought from the ATT Website, and selected one day shipping and paid the 14$ cost.

It's on the vehicle headed to my house for arrival today =)
[G2 General] verks:
More to come.

It is beautiful. Super fast.
[G2 General] verks:
Back
[G2 General] verks:
Darn att ready to go. it over rides the google install of apps on the initial setup. Not that big of a deal but a pain.
[G2 General] justbenice:
Yes, it so beautifull. We don't have G2 international version here yet :( May be i will have to order a Korea version.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Fingerprint magnet lol.. Good thing my case will be here tomorrow.
[G2 General] jayochs:
nano sim???
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Ok, I'm getting concerned here now. I ordered on Friday at 3:00 pm Pacific Standard Time. My credit card still hasn't been charged and it hasn't shipped.

Just to make sure, did your orders go through AT&T Premier? For the order it still says processing and expected ship date says pending confirmation. Is that correct?

It shows my order as an upgrade but I paid full retail. Which steps did you all take to order?

Just want to make sure that I did everything right lol.
[G2 General] MEGABYTEPR:
Same thing happened to me, I ordered early on friday full price from the premier page, the status kept saying processing and also said upgrade. I called them at 8PM and cancelled my order because they said it was still processing. I don't think it should take that long. jajaja:cool:
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
How did you end up ordering? Can everyone tell us how you ordered?
[G2 General] teeg07:
I ordered mine on sunday afternoon, and its in the mail today! Have a shipping number and everything!
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
From AT&T Premier?

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------

Did you order yours through AT&T Premier? What was your order process?
[G2 General] MEGABYTEPR:
I ordered mine on att.com
[G2 General] EVOme:
Damn I hope not!
[G2 General] teeg07:
ordered from att.com, sorry! Using it as my upgrade.
[G2 General] Dchibro:
It's a micro SIM. The G2 manual is up on the AT&T website.

http://forums.att.com/t5/Android-Di...ser-manual-Available-for-Download/m-p/3565567
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
I did too but my confirmation email said thanks for ordering from AT&T Premier. Did you get that email?
[G2 General] Dchibro:
Also, thank you AT&T for not slapping your brand all over the device. Just a nice simple globe image on the back.
[G2 General] ttdynamo:
I ordered through Premier and paid full retail. Mine is arrive tomorrow since I went with free 2 day shipping.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
After you ordered did you get an email that looked like this? Also, when did you order?
[G2 General] ttdynamo:
Yup that's the email that I got. I ordered mine around 2:00 AM EST Friday.
[G2 General] jayochs:
damnit. it's a micro sim?? I thought everyone said nano. oh well, ordered a nano sim cutter for 7 bucks haha
[G2 General] djkinetic:
I didn't order from premier the last time I did that was for the GS3 preorder that was a clusterf*ck which I ended up getting my Amazon preorder first. For this I just ordered from the wireless.att.com page at around 12 am CST Friday. Order processed next day and was shipped... I always here of stuff happening with premier orders. I'd call em if it is still processing cancel it then order on the webpage and choose next day if u do it before 5 pm your phone should b at ur door tomorrow.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Did anyone else receive this email after placing your order and you have already had your phone ship? Also, how long after your order did your credit card get hit with the charge?

Thanks!
[G2 General] djkinetic:
I did too.. No loss I'll need one eventually for the gfs next iPhone lol.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
They put a 0.00 preauthorization on my card when I ordered.. Then charged the full amount when the order had processed and was shipped.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Ok, I'm gonna order from wireless.att.com instead. I don't want to get screwed and wait all week.

How do I order it? Do I click upgrade or what? Seems kind of confusing, I'm already in a contract and I just want to order at full retail.

Thanks!
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Not sure as it seems the off contract price isn't showing on the mobile order site.
[G2 General] varunkumars:
Is there a chance of white color at all ?
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Probably in a could weeks.
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
Can anyone confirm a locked bootloader?
[G2 General] Dchibro:
I'd say the chance is probably very good, but likely in a staggered future release. We know there is a white version, because T-mo is launching with it. However, it appears AT&T chose to go with just black for launch. Who knows though. It's impossible to predict the decisions these carriers make.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Ok, I finally placed my order through wireless.att.com. I didn't know there was a difference with AT&T Premier.

Anyhow, I ordered it and chose one day shipping. Will it ship today most likely?

Thanks!
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Most likely tonight.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Awesome! I got this text message about 30 minutes ago. Am I in good shape?

AT&T FREE MSG: John Congratulations! We have processed your order 161838xxxxxx and it has been sent to our warehouse for shipment. You will be notified when your order ships. Go to < www.att.com/wirelessorderstatus> to check order status.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Yup, bout to upload some shots and a video of the phone, just got home from work. =)
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Added link in op to picasa web album pictures and initial boot up video.
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
Thanks can you check the bootloader to verify that it is locked?
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Just checked my order status page and it says this:

LG Electronics GE D800 BLK PHONE	Preparing to Ship We're preparing to ship your item, and it will be sent to you on or between the shipping dates we've provided.	09/12/13 - 09/16/13*	1

Thanks for placing your order. We estimate your item will ship on or between the dates provided.

Ugghhhhhh. Does that mean it won't ship today? I hate this.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Thats what mine said.
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
Just wait, it should ship if other people shipped. If you are really worried call 611 like you were trying to place a order and ask them how many units they should in both warehouses. They should give you a number if it is negative it probably wont ship for a few days if it is positive you should get them soon. Don't ask them "Will my phone ship" or other questions like that because they will sometimes give you false answers, just ask for the quantities.

I have found that it takes them a LONG time to update the shipping information... the last order I placed with them they didn't give me the shipping info until the phone was almost at my door. It just said "processing".... so I wouldn't worry. When I got the info it was 2 days after the phone was in the mail (ordered on the weekend) The delay gets even worse when a phone get released because they have to update so many orders at once.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Thanks, that makes me feel better!

Thanks, I will check into it!
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
if you call let us know the quantities
[G2 General] djkinetic:
When i called yesterday around 2pm CST, there were 1100 in the warehouse in Fort Worth.
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
cool, as long as they don't stock shipment until the 13th you should be good. That is only one of the 2 warehouses. The only thing I can think that would prevent shipping would be if the other warehouse is out of stock

Anyone know how to check the bootloader, I am really eager to see if it is locked
[G2 General] djkinetic:
working on it, right now trying to find a driver for adb lol.
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
if it is we will have a party and you will be the first on the list!
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Well i found a driver, but the adb commands work but the command to reboot to the bootloader doesnt work =(
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
Well does LG have a download mode to test?

If you want... try this root method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2362657

Do this at your own risk, probably will be fine (maybe fail or pass) but you never know. If you are not comfortable with this type of thing I would hold off.

Maybe Loki will work like the Gpro
[G2 General] djkinetic:
thats what i was trying to get into, download mode, like on samsungs, but it completely skips that and goes to the ATT Splash, not feeling that adventurous yet lol.
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
It may have a fast boot feature like the HTC One. Look in the settings, maybe it is in the power area
[G2 General] wargreymon89:
Download mode should be Volume up + Power key and have cable attached. The bootloader will 99.9% chance be locked, but this is good coz then you can relock it with KDZ incase something breakes (granted you dont hard brick which is pretty hard). Unlike when they offer to unlock bootloader and you have to agree to void warranty. Im pretty sure the G2 bootloader will be cracked soon and added to FreeGee, actually those who have the phone you should try contact them on the Optimus G IRC channel ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1984620 ) and see what they need to try crack it open.
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah I agree but it is worth checking, the HTC One and a few other devices slipped their radar so who knows :)
[G2 General] wargreymon89:
Problem LG is usually locking, not just carriers ;)

EDIT: Anyways, the G Pro was cracked and it wasnt based on any Nexus device (Think that is how they opened it up for the G). So I have high hopes this will be "easy" (all hail these geniuses)
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
man... I have never dealt with LG before. You would think they'd be trying to make users happy anyway they can to get popularity.
[G2 General] wargreymon89:
In the long run I prefer to wait a little bit for it to be opened up and be able to KDZ back, leaving 0 trace of fiddling with it and keep full warranty. I do think they should stop blocking all root methods though. But if there is a will, there is a way ^^
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Ill try again when I get back home and hop on IRC... Picking up the gf from work right now.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
I just called and they said the phone is in stock but they estimated shipping date is still 9/12-9/16. But I'm gonna hope that since this happened to you that it will happen to me too and the phone ships sooner lol.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
First post from the g2!! Good luck... the phone feels nicer than the gs4. So smooth!!
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Nice, congrats! Sorry to keep bothering you about this, but you got your text message about the order being prepared for shipment and the email that had 9/12-9/16 as the estimated ship date on the same day? And then it shipped that night? Just want to see what I'm in for, I want this phone so bad haha!
[G2 General] jayochs:
nice, thanks for the bootup video etc.

hows the screen? any imperfections (dead pixels, etc?) that's something that always seems to get me with LCD...my DNA has a stuck white pixel that won't go away..my nexus 7 had dead pixels when i got it and dust under screen..

god i hope LG's QC is good lol
[G2 General] djkinetic:
So far mine it's perfect.. No bleed, no dead or stuck pixels, saturation and viewing angles are good.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Yup exactly what I got from them.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Thanks bro!! Here's to hoping that I get a shipping notification from them tonight, or at least tomorrow!
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Got into download mode, screen doesnt really show anything important except unrooted and b99 no clue what that means.
[G2 General] Btwice:
Ordered 9/6. Says shipping 9/12 - 9/16!? Wtf?!
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Did your order confirmation email come from AT&T Premier?
[G2 General] Btwice:
Sure did.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Another Premier victim lol. :p
[G2 General] Btwice:
What does that mean?
[G2 General] djkinetic:
it means your order has a good chance of coming in late compared to the regular website orders.
[G2 General] Btwice:
I did order from the regular website
[G2 General] djkinetic:
ah then you should be fine.
[G2 General] Btwice:
Yea I've never even heard of "premiere"
[G2 General] d.cortez:
@djkinetic - since you have a plethora of devices, lol, can you share your thoughts on G2 call quality, clarity and loudness vs. the Samsung GS4? also, does the G2 have an in-call volume boost like the Galaxy S4? i'm one of those users that primarily uses "his smartphone" for phone calls [in noisy environments] so volume, clarity and loudness are key features for me. also interested in knowing your battery life experience after you've had some time with the phone. i'm currently using the HTC Butterfly S with a 3200 mAh battery and i'm hoping the G2 battery life will be similar. thanks in advance for considering my request...
[G2 General] djkinetic:
I'll report on all those, when I've had more usage with the phone during the week.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
I never got a shipping text or email and the status page still says preparing to ship. Here's hoping for a Wednesday delivery. Ugh lol.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Update.... Just got my shipping email! It is scheduled to get here tomorrow! I would have already had the phone if I didn't make the mistake with AT&T Premier, but better tomorrow than later! :D:D:D
[G2 General] verks:
Glad you finally have a phone on the way! ?
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
So you loving the phone? I can't wait to get rid of this S4 lol.
[G2 General] EVOme:
Same here!
[G2 General] Btwice:
Update! Mine shipped yesterday. Will be here tomorrow am. See ya S4!
[G2 General] tudoz89:
mine is also coming in tomorrow! wish it had the headset though -_-

But still looking forward to getting it :)
[G2 General] verks:
I am loving the phone. My S4 is now collecting dust. Just need a case. I feel very vulnerable without one.

Another tidbit, the keyboard is nice too, not sure I'll stick with it yet but it works well and the prediction is good. I usually use swift keyboard.

Verks & djkinetic,

Could you please confirm you have on AT&T LG G2 SVLTE (Simultaneous Voice and LTE). As much as i know CDMA Verizon and Sprint may not have this feature. But all gsm devices are capable of this, Lg G2 also.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Just tested and the display says 4g LTE but the speeds are not when you browse while on call, also the status section changes from LTE to HSPA while on call and back to LTE when off. It may be a carrier limitation can't be sure, as I dont have a Tmobile sim.
[G2 General] bri315317:
Mine is here,I'm in love: )
[G2 General] varunkumars:
OK. Thanks for the quick reply.
[G2 General] tudoz89:
Does the display on the g2 look the same as the one on the g pro? or is one better then the other? Keep hearing how beautiful the display is. Ive played with the g pro and thought it had a great display. Just want to know if ill be seeing the same thing on the g2 or better.

Thanks
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Better
[G2 General] tudoz89:

Thanks you
[G2 General] verks:
I just ordered the Poetic case. What screen protector did you order?
[G2 General] varunkumars:
djkinetic,

Since you have used HTC one and Galaxy S4, how do you like the Music player on G2 i mean high's, low's, bass, and volume levels. Also the status bar, is it transparent with 3rd party(non-stock) wallpapers. Please let me know when you get a chance. Thanks.
[G2 General] jayochs:
I ordered that poetic case just as something small.

I wonder if I can get a good price for my s4 since it's rooted mdk...
