make, size? as I need to get one soon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
It's a Samsung 32GB, class 10. I have 3 of them and they all perform above spec. As you may know, there are fakes and some that just don't perform as advertised.

I have had very good luck with Samsung cards. They are the only ones that performed to spec. All the SanDisk and others either got corrupted or were very slow and not up to spec.

Just be careful where you buy from, some are fakes with Samsung stickers. Same goes with other brands, fakes with brand name stickers. There are fakes everywhere, even with hard drives I've found. They are a genuine case with a fake generic, junk hard drive inside.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
Okay so apparantly it's got nothing to do with the SD card. I watched a 50 min long 480p video from internal storage and that locked up the whole device somewhere at 30min and kept sporadically doing it every 2-5 minutes. My new guess is it could be the developer preview Adreno drivers.. I'll reflash CM with it's own stock drivers and report back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
If I knew that I would of stated to use the cm drivers as the first step to ts
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
Alright, I've tested with stock CM drivers. Same thing. I've tested the SD card which performs above the promised 4MB/s.

Also HW decoder doesn't work at all with CM drivers.

My new guess is it has something to do with CM10.1.3..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
attach the the video so I can test it also, unless its a very private video lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
It's an anime, "The Garden of Words", in 720p with soft subs. But it doesn't matter it's the same with all the videos... This only started to happen with with CM10.1.3 rc2... This stuff is bugging me out >.<
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] night_hawk_88:
Hi all, I installed the latest version of the Cataclysm Rom for Nexus 4. Great rom but, if I try to open the camera it crashes and says me that was impossible to connect to the camera. I did all wipes and tried to reflash too, same issue. Any solution?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TToivanen:
Not a known issue. Do other ROMs work fine?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Maybe it's an issue with his camera module disconnected
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] night_hawk_88:
Tried only stock, stock deodexed (works), crDroid (works), Cataclysm crash camera issue
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TToivanen:
Cataclysm camera is the same as stock so it should work. Have you tried downloading the rom again?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] night_hawk_88:
Yes tried, no changes :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Archeob:
After using the original Note, I decided I couldn't live with the battery life and decided to upgrade to the Note 2 last christmas. I was fully satisfied, and frequently got between 6 to 7h of screen time.

Sadly, since early june, I barely get half of that under normal usage (2-3 hours), and I've never been able to go a day without charging the phone. The phone is rooted but still on Rogers Canada's original firmware with the original Samsung battery.

I'm no novice to android, but I've run out of ideas. Is it normal for a battery to start loosing it's capacity after around 120 to 150 charging cycles?

1) I thought it might be related to my external microsd, because I started getting error messages that I was disconnecting, and the mediascanner process was running for an abnormally long time. I wiped the card, and the errors persisted. Finally, I removed it altogether and the mediascanner battery drain stoppped, but overall battery life didn't get any better

2) I comptetelly wiped the phone and started from scratch, reinstalling everything from the market. No change.

3) I've been checking per app battery usage with BetterBatteryStats, and I occasionnally get one misbehaving app that keeps the phone awake, so I installed Greenify to prevent a few of them from gobbling up resources. That's helped a lot, at least on BetterBatteryStats, but still the phone doesn't last longer. There is no more obviously abnormal app anymore.

4) I tough it might be related to the fact that I redirected all my work email to gmail, so I set it to manual mode, but it hasn't helped.

5) I did notice that the cpu stays either in deep sleep or at 1,1 ghz, almost without using the other speeds. I don't know that I can do anything about that with the stock kernel.

Is there something else I could be checking? The phone worked great for six months without gooing through all of that stuff, so the only thing I can think of is a hardware issue. Did I get a faulty battery?

Thanks for your insights.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
Nothing lasts forever; buy a new battery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
hmmm the 1.1ghz thing makes it seem like it could be a deeper issue, there is no reason it should be sticking at a frequency that high.. I would personally try to flash the stock rom fresh with odin.

That would be your issue, the high frequency, not the battery itself imo

[G2 General] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
So coming from the Verizon gnex I miss the openness of doing whatever I wanted with the phone. And while I do love this phone, I'm contemplating returning it at the end of my 14 days in order to wait and see what the next Nexus is like. I know people are doubting it's coming to Verizon, but I would rather have that option open to me if it does come to big red. Anyone else is this same boat?
[G2 General] Namtaru:
Are you talking about the fact that the bootloader is still locked?

It hasn't even been a week yet, and the phone isn't even out on all carriers.
[G2 General] Ascertion:
I have faith that the device will be modded soon. Just hang in there.

(Also, if the FCC documents prove accurate, Verizon is not going to carry the next Nexus.)
[G2 General] csimo:
I also came from the Galaxy Nexus and miss the open architecture of the G2... but after rooting it and making a few minor changes I'm liking the G2 more and more.

I suspect the bootloader issue will be resolved soon and then we'll be able to load Cyanogenmod or other ROM's on the G2. Then we'll have the fastest phone with the best screen on the market.

I'd suggest you root now and load a root keeper to block any potential OTA that will further complicate the bootloader issue.
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
unless android 4.4 is set up to completely change battery life and how the phones will work with battery... I do not think the 2300 mah battery will compare to the 3000. So to me G2 will be a better bet, I guess that depends on the person
[G2 General] chrisexv6:
Actually Ive read of and experienced better battery life on 4.3 (on my Gnex), so its possible 4.4 might be better still.

If the bootloader gets unlocked on the G2, I can only imagine how fast the phone will run with something like Vanir or Commotio.

And I dont think VZW will ever get another "pure Google" phone, especially if the lockdown they did on the S4 is any indication.
[G2 General] SysAdmNj:
I would never buy a nexus from verizon or at&t, or any big carrier lol.
[G2 General] sam2c:
Its rumored to be sold on the play store, like the gnex and the nexus 4
[G2 General] SysAdmNj:
I would hope this not be a rumor and just a fact. The playstore should be the first to sell the next nexus before any carrier. Thats where I purchased my previous ones.
[G2 General] deeznuts:
If i were to purchase this device (very close to deciding this way), how do i do a "root keeper"? I saw on here how to root the device but never heard of this "root keeper" thing? Sorry still new to this whole android scene coming from iphone 4 and now running HTC One X+, my first ever android device and loving it! Just don't see how other companies can top this device any time soon and not at all impressed nor need this new HTC Blink Feed crap that they will push on all new/upcoming HTC devices that probably still won't be as amazing as this device in the next 6 months. Thanks!
[G2 General] helpme364:
The new Nexus, when it passed through the FCC, didn't carry the bands necessary to operate on Verizon's network. That is to say, Verizon won't have it.
[G2 General] Dchibro:
I'm sure the next Nexus will be great, and I considered holding off on a purchase until it launched. However, in the end, I opted for hardware once again over software, and the G2 has all the bells and whistles in the hardware department. The Nexus is a fantastic option though if you favor software and being completely free to customize your experience.
[G2 General] aznmode:
There's an app call "OTA root keeper" and works quite well in keeping root after an OTA. Worked on my Asus tablet and my samsung note 2. Have not tried it on my samsung s4 though as I haven't gotten any OTA yet.
[G2 General] deeznuts:
Oh ok, that's awesome! So after i root, i download and install this app, and IF there is an OTA update for this device i am still able to access and download/install it and this app will make sure my device stays rooted?

If worse comes to worse and after doing the above the app doesn't work, can i just still do the same root procedure after the OTA? Thanks!
[G2 General] aznmode:
Ya but make sure when you open the app you do a "protect root" first before doing the OTA. After OTA open the app again and do a "restore root". Thats it. In some cases you may need to reboot again after restore root.
[G2 General] deeznuts:
Ok, thank you for explaining. Will keep this in mind if i get this device but will be a month or two. Hopefully by then this device will be bootloader unlocked and won't need all the fixins.
[G2 General] kyler13:
Not this year but next Fall is a real possibility when Verizon is planning on introducing 4g-only phones late next year. Once VoLTE turns on and CDMA exits the scene, all you need is band 4 and 13 compatibility in the next LTE/GSM Nexus.
[G2 General] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Thats a good point, software can only take you so far in the long run anyways.
[G2 General] bose301s:
I am still stuck in this conundrum, keep the G2 with the real possibility that it may never get AOSP but stay on unlimited on Verizon's network, or return it and wait for the Nexus 5 and switch to T-Mobile unlimited with worse coverage, or Aio with better coverage but 8mbps speed limit and 7GB/month data limit. Decisions, decisions.

EDIT: Well, I just talked to a guy at work who said T-Mobile's network around here sucks so that's out. Now it's stay on VZW with G2, stay on VZW with GS4 Developers Edition for my flashing addiction and AOSP or go to AT&T or one of the many MVNOs who use their network and get the Nexus 5, not an easy choice.
[G2 General] WACOMalt:
Id definitely keep this. The Nexus 5 wont be coming to VZW, but it seems like it'll be the same hardware as the G2. So yeah stick with us. I as well am completely expecting a BL unlock soon.
[G2 General] deeznuts:
Yeah i think i'm sold on this device. Just need to actually play with it, lol! Haven't even seen this device in person yet, just online sold. Going to ATT store today to play with it and see as i know there has to be a dev community for this device. Just give it a few weeks, maybe a month. With how much you can customize out of the box it's not like we NEED devs to jump on this thing today for anything other than maybe a few points:

1. Slow shutter speed on stock camera app

2. Low volume on speaker (somewhat fixed already, somewhat)

3. No tethering allowed yet

4. Crappy IR transmissions

Think that's really it and all should be simple fixes i would think for a dev with just basic root access. Time will tell but this device is The One i think for quite sometime as well! I love HTC but after seeing this UI i'm ready for change. Especially since HTC will push the hell out of Blink Feed which i have zero use for and not feeling the Sense 5 look either.
[G2 General] jspradling7:
1. Slow shutter speed on stock camera app {Turn off IA to correct slow shutter}

2. Low volume on speaker (somewhat fixed already, somewhat) {It's not a boom box, it's louder than an S4}

3. No tethering allowed yet {My tethering works fine}

4. Crappy IR transmissions {Not sure if this can be corrected without drilling the case}
[G2 General] deeznuts:
Seems you're on Verizon from your banner. I believe the tethering is ONLY working on Verizon phones, not ATT (my carrier). Thank you though for the info above, will put to use once i get this amazing device!
[G2 General] CBMC:
The only hope. And it is a Longshot, is that Verizon gets its own variant. So it would be a different phone than passed through the fcc. Obviously, common sense tells us that won't happen. With the direction Verizon is heading and the way they handled the gnex.
[G2 General] WACOMalt:
Also remember the G2 didn't have Verizon bands listed at first either.

It could happen. Seeing as the Nexus 5 is likely to be basically a clone of the G2 hardware-wise, and both didn't list it in initial FCC filing, Id say we have a chance. Not a big one, Verizon HATES open phones. I still don't expect it, but I wouldn't count the FCC band listing as a score against it.
[G2 General] ohwut:
Even if it comes to Verizon, Verizon will still need to approve it for use on their network. Meaning they're going to have their fingers in it just like they did the Galaxy Nexus. All of the hopes and dreams of everyone everywhere couldn't make Verizon allow Google to push updates to something on their network.
[G2 General] cdmoore74:
Don't bet on Verizon having the Nexus.

1. They don't want to sale a $300 phone off contract.

2. They want to lock you up for 2 years.

3. They don't want customers with unlimited data to stay unlimited. They want you on a tiered plan.

Your only option is to dump Verizon.
[G2 General] Crooke356:
I wholeheartedly agree with you on every point. However, MOST Verizon customers don't know about buying off contact. They are not users like us. They go into the store and let the sales people direct them or ask for the phone advertised on TV. That being said, I do understand that even just a small percentage is important to these corporate *****es. I hope that VZW will allow Google to sell a VZW compatible version on Google play. I also know that by allowing this, VZW will make no money other than the current payments being made by those who purchase the Nexus. My hope, is that if they do all they can to either kick us (unlimited) off VZW or convert, they gain more by allowing us the option to buy a device at nexus prices so we continue to at least do that. Normal users love VZW, they don't see what we see. They will go in and continue to sign new contracts and let VZW sales people direct them to devices with the highest profit margins and make their money. By allowing us to buy the nexus, they will make more money. Not much but still, more money and maybe more importantly, recommendations. Are you not the one everyone comes to when it comes time to buy a phone? If you can get a nexus, you'll be more willing to recommend VZW. When you recommend the nexus and that person hears it's $150 more, they will save that money and go sign a new contact. Win win for VZW. Maybe not a huge one, but a win nonetheless.

Also, I've heard many conflicting reports about the FCC filling. Some say the files were disguised as changes to the VZW LG G2, but they were filled AFTER the phone was released... and still had VZW radios. A way to sneak the VZW Nexus 5 through the FCC? It's the other FCC filings that seem to say no VZW support. Obviously, despite spending over $2000 on phones this year, I really want another Nexus on VZW. I bought the Nexus 4 knowing only VZW provides signal at my house (great LTE and is my internet for my whole house, really need hotspot. Switching my sim to my S4 when needed.), I figured I'd try it anyway. I have all the other nexus devices and just love the Dev communities for them. This phone (LG G2) in a nexus package? If it has the same camera, it will be the best phone ever released. Sorry for the novel.
[G2 General] BaronInkjet:
I kept the last Nexus about 24 hours before throwing it back.
[G2 General] dafutr:
heh heh, this kinda reminds me of all the hype when the nexus one first came out. The hype over why nexus wasn't coming to verizon...so what happened? We all ended up getting the droid incredible. Then once word hit that the gnex was coming to verizon all of us was super excited. Then the whole updating thing or lack there of came around. For me, honestly, i never even noticed because thanks to the great dev community, i was blessed with the option to go from rom to rom to rom. So first...big THANK YOU to all the devs out there.

Now the LG g2/nexus 5 reminds me a lot of the nexus one/droid incredible situation. But for some strange reason I hold this sliver of hope that the nexus 5 could come to verizon. But should it not come...I think I would be super happy with the LG g2 but I just can't seem to pull the trigger on it, at least not until it's official from el googs that they are not selling on verizon. and i can't really hate on verizon too much because even though they like to lock down phones on their network, they still provide me and my fam the best coverage and that's most important to me.
[G2 General] bose301s:
I love this phone, fast as hell, screen is mind blowingly awesome and I like the build quality, feels a step up from Samsung for sure. The problem like I said before it's no AOSP, LG's update history history and no wireless tether yet. But, going to another carrier for the Nexus 5 you let much lose tether anyway as you have limited data (ATT), small network (T-Mobile) or slow crappy network (Sprint) to choose from. All I have to say is FU American wireless industry.
[G2 General] Ascertion:
I know Sprint has a pretty bad rep but ever since LTE in my area has turned on, Sprint has nearly always been faster than my cousin's Verizon LTE in the same locations - mostly due to the fact that Verizon sites here are over burdened. (Both still very usable speeds, though. ~8-20mbps).

If your town/city is lit up via LTE on Sensorly, you may be fine with Sprint's coverage. Also - the LG G2 for Sprint supports LTE-A and that'll be able to support Sprint's newest Clearwire frequency which can get speeds upwards to 168mbps.

EDIT: Looks like they're still rolling out in your area.

[G2 General] Wesley32:
So, I do love this G2, but if there is a chance that the nexus 5 will be usable on AT&T's LTE and sold for $300 unlocked? I really would rather do that. But, I have qualms with this idea. I don't know if I could keep my unlimited data with AT&T, if I am using an unlocked phone and not upgrading my contract with AT&T. anyone know if this will work?
[G2 General] xaktly:
if you don't mind me asking, what do you use to tether? did you root your phone, have the paid tether plan or have an app that will allow you to do so?
[G2 General] jspradling7:
I have the G2 on my company plan. It is a 25 device shared plan. We currently have 23 devices active on it. Each active device is 40.00 a month and they all get unlimited talk and text for that. The data part is a 50 gb block at 375.00 a month that we all share and tethering is included. Last month we used less than 30 gb of the 50 we had available.

My personal account is an old unlimited account that I don't use much anymore except as a backup and play account. Tethering is not included on that line so I haven't tried it.
[G2 General] xaktly:
ah, i'm very interested in getting the g2, but i've grown accustomed to having my personal unlimited dataplan wifi tethered to all my devices. i haven't seen support for any 3rd party apps such as foxfi yet. i wonder if this support will come soon or what my best option is.
[G2 General] bose301s:
If that's the case for tethering them you should state that upfront as tethering is NOT working fine in most cases.
[G2 General] jspradling7:
You have tethering on your account and it doesn't work?
[G2 General] bose301s:
No, I don't have tethering and neither do most of the people in this thread, and that's the case that we are talking about tethering not working on, not when you have tethering on your account. That's the reason I think you should say you have it on your account as people will know that's why it's working for you.
[G2 General] jspradling7:
Ohhhh! I get it. You made a false assumption and that's somehow my fault so you want to tell me what I should do. Got it. And thank you. I feel more secure now that I know I have you to advise me on what I should or should not do. I've been looking a cute pair of pink pumps, should I get them? Smooch!

Seriously though, I have a couple of older tethering apk's from a couple of years ago that I will try in a day or two that may help you out.
[G2 General] bose301s:
No, you made a blanket statement that tethering works fine not considering someone in any situation but your own.
[G2 General] irish.iolar:
I'm in the same boat, I'm probly getting the g2 this week from at&t but I'd kinda like to see what the nex is gonna b like... The FCC models were nice looking but is the hardware going to be the same as the g2?
[G2 General] Dchibro:
All we know is the battery may be smaller, but I would bet on a lower end camera as well. Probably the same S800 chip. The big question for me will be the screen. Will it be the same 1080p IPS display on the G2? Possibly but who knows. Still, I'm sure it will follow the Nexus trend of slightly behind hardware on the whole to hit the right non-subsidized price point, along with the latest and greatest Android version.
[G2 General] Beaumac:
There is no Nexus coming to VZW. Be realistic people! The GNex was a disaster and Google said they are not doing a CDMA nexus.

Instead focus your energies on obtaining a way to unlock the bootloader xD Though I"m not sure what features I want that aren't already on this phone...
[G2 General] bose301s:
The Nexus 5 has Sprint bands so I wouldn't for sure say they aren't doing a CDMA version, but I would say no Verizon version.
[G2 General] Walter21026:
I highly doubt the N5 would have the same camera as the G2. I'm sure it won't have the OIS feature. OIS isn't even LGs hardware. Also I think Google will skimp out for a pentile display
[G2 General] bose301s:
Why would the "skimp out on a pentile display" when the Nexus 4 didn't have a pentile display, it had an IPS LCD.
