Do you mean you can listen to music with your earbuds and use the mic to listen to your surroundings? If so how do you turn this on? I often listen to earbuds at work, but it is to add focus and drown out the surrounding sounds. Occasionally one of my cube mates needs to get my attention, and objects get thrown my way. I'd at least like to try it out if I'm understanding this correctly.

Alternative variants

We list only the specs that are different than the main variant

LG G2 16GB

Differences:

Built-in storage:

16 GB

Source: phonearena

I saw a lot of stores selling the 16 GB too here in Israel!
[G2 General] vipergrm:
I've got the 16GB version on Three network here in the UK so there's definitely a 16GB version. Seems a bit stingy in this day and age though. Surely it doesn't cost the manufacturer much more for an extra 16GB of storage? 32GB should be the minimum in my opinion.
[G2 General] chubaan:
Sorry if it has been mentioned but I just found out that while using keyboard in landscape mode, you can actually pinch and zoom in to split the keyboard which I like better than default since I don't have to move my thumbs all across the screen(Just personal opinion). And of course zoom out to get it all together.

But you have to be honest and say it really is. Granted, it has its own quirks, but which phone doesn't? And now it can be found for less money than the Galaxy S4 which for me is an astonishing fact.
[G2 General] fallenwout:
They only sell 16gb here in Belgium. 32gb model comes in 2014. Had mine 32gb ordered from Germany while ago. Which already came shipped with d80210e firmware. Weird because mine came out of the box with that firmware and a lot of people can't even upgrade.

Does anyone know if there's a shortcut key or combo to activate flashlight?
[G2 General] jiteshj:
There is a widget

LG G2
[G2 General] mannequin:
besides the stock the widget you have to be rooted and use Xposed modules.
[G2 General] OldOldDev:
I just use widgetsoid in the notification bar to add the switches which are not there in stock
[G2 General] jonstrong:
Also -- you can install any application that can invoke application activities and make them available via custom shortcuts. For example:

- you can install Launcher Pro: don't worry about using it as your home page launcher (unless you want to -- I don't use it for that) -- but after installing it there's an "Activities" widget you can drop on any page. On doing so, it pulls up a list of all the activities available through all of your installed apps and lets you assign one to the icon / widget you're dropping on the home screen. In this case, you would scroll down the list of activities until you see "Flash" -- within this you can select the Flashlight activity.

- another alternative to Launcher Pro is "Activity Launcher" -- this app is specifically and only designed to make app activities available to you to launch. It's lighter weight than installing all of Launcher Pro, but it appears to me that Launcher Pro surfaces more activities from which you can choose and link to a desktop icon.
[G2 General] gm007:
I don't know if someone mention this before but you can pinch the home screen and make all the icons and widgets disappear.

I've learnt the copy-paste little limbo! It's a pretty nice feature

Infrared beam learns from other remote controls, which is friggin' amazing. Now I can control my generic little home-theater without its pesky faulty remote control

That the buttons placement feels awkward at the first glance, but it's just perfect after few hours

That no battery is big enough for someone avid to play with the device (2x full charges since 8AM)

>> Also that it charges pretty fast too

That it HAS >NOT< Wireless charging capabilities! I stared it for a good minute not believing that.

That the dual grill on the bottom aren't two speakers, but it's in fact a speaker (Right side) and a microphone! Just like the iPhone (and that it is placed exactly where my index finger lands on landscape)

That the default ringtones are weird as puck

That with root you can reduce the DPI (sweet spot: 380 DPI) and remove the dual sliders from the drop-down menu

Sorry for the delayed response.

No. I mean that I don't need earbuds with a built-in mic. I can use whatever earbuds/headphones I want and the mic on the G2 still works for making phone calls -- as long as the mic is close enough to your mouth. I like this feature because I can use my earbuds to listen to music, but when someone calls, I don't have to unplug them. I just hold the phone a bit closer to talk. I hear the caller through the earbuds.

-root

-install xposed framework

-install an xposed module (apk) called XHaloFloatingWindows and enable it from xposed framework

-install floating notifications app from play store

-enable in floating notifications app setting called "launch apps in Halo mode"

-also allow floating notifications to read your notifications (i think administrator or similar)

-allow apps you want to use floating notifications from within app

-reboot and you are good to go

I find that I'm loving this phone more and more each day. Finally had an outing to test the camera. It preformed awesome. I was getting great shots when no one else could. Plus the IR blaster is really coming in handy now too. I have my cable box, TV, surround sound and space heater all set to be controlled from my phone. My man cave is much better without having to locate 4 different remotes now.
[G2 General] :
Man cave lol

1. I found I didn't need to download a different keyboard just to get keyboard black. Awesome!

2. The buttons can be made black

3. Sound quality is superb, especially the wind noise reduction. You still heat the wind on other line. You won't hear who you're calling being as annoyed as before. For me a big plus.

You can find it in keyboard settings then additional settings

Only thing I need is setting so you can change dpi without root and ability to block permissions, any without root together with firewall functionality.

Wonder why no vendor has jumped into this yet to support by default

Not sure if you guys said you don't want to root, I've rooted every phone I've ever had. Its easy to return to stock for warranty work, hell my last 3 phones I returned with stock rooted roms on them with no problems. Anyway good luck.

I tried to use Unicon with Xposed with no luck, I gave it ten minutes of my time and then clicked refund, I'll have to read someone else tutorial that has it working before I try again.

Most people are familiar with the reject call feature on the phone side since all the top phones have it in some name or form but there's also a register spam number on the text messages. Just hold down the offending sender's thread and the option to report it as spam will pop up, now they can't call or text you.

I also think the Text Link feature is pretty cool, thats that little blue chainlink icon in your text bubble that takes info from your text for calender, Google Maps, Google Search or add to memo. So a friend texts you asking if you want to see the movie Elysium tonight at 9pm? and you click the text link for search it will open up Google search with that text as the subject. If you hit calender it will open up for 9pm, anyway I think its cool lol.
