Just a suggestion to the topic creator. Why don't make a post with the new discoveries? 103 pages and some duplicated. Thanks!
[G2 General] abdel12345:
That would be a good idea except for the fact I don't think they're paying attention to this thread and as you said 103 pages. That's too much to sort through

Amazing

The battery life is still shocking to me. It is Monday at lunch time right now and I am at 53% and the last time I charged the phone was Saturday afternoon! Gotta love it.
[G2 General] mdfritz:
On KK, they fixed the knock knock issue where it was difficult to wake screen on two taps. Before you had to get your touch precisely on the same pixels on consecutive taps or it failed. Now you can be sloppy on your tapping and still wake or sleep the screen. Awesome sauce.

I made a discovery on kit Kat if the phone becomes too hot the screen brightness is automatically lowered to try and reduce heat

[G2 General] TPS_Reports:
I have to agree with the power button and the volume rockers on the back. I also have gotten used to knock knock!!
[G2 General] abdel12345:
Yeah I've tried the at&t version and the buttons are much better than verizon version. The verizon ones are smaller and make a click when you press them. And they're hard to find without a case on. If knock knock want available I would switch it for an att or tmobile version for sure. I feel like verizon ruined it for lg here.
[G2 General] XxZombiePikachu:
Okay I recreated the event this time brightness wouldn't go higher than 75% battery temp was around 45 c
[G2 General] incubus2:
My delightful discovery is definitely this community. Coming from gnex I was a little worried when I bought g2 as it seemed development was stalling. Reading some of the post from the last couple of days around here the future looks bright. Thank you to all of the devs for supporting this highly underrated beast.
[G2 General] .jRay.:
My delightful discovery is the effortless typing with the stock keyboard. Gotta love the numbers row.

120 fps slowmotion video recording at 720p on kitkat with a little mod ! BEAT THAT ! this is bloody brilliant :D
[G2 General] AnteusFogg:
With root needed I guess?
[G2 General] Life Engineer:
Of course!

But the real question is how can you flash it via recovery while there's no custom recovery for Kitkat on G2 till now!?
[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
u dont need to flash anything for that. once u keep root and have kitkat on you can just replace files using es file explorer with its root options enabled :) i personally loved it ! but the touchscreen driver on the vodafone kitkat version from germany is bugged and would just click while i was scrolling, i hate that so reverted back to 4.2.2 (im using d802)

so basically i created my custom rom with a guide in the general section :p works just brilliant :) and recovery is ready for flashing on 4.4, well techinically they;re hacking some stuff in the boot which would bypass or sumwhat fake the integrity check of sumsort which causes it to bootloop, some devs have got success and are waiting for the kernel sources of the other varients (they only have d800 kernel source for now) , anyways we'll get it soon so no worries :)

As I read through these post I am very excited to here how pleased everyone seems with this phone. Two years on GNex and nervous about picking another. This one appears to be worthy of the top of the list.
[G2 General] jonstrong:
I also had GNex for two years, loved it, flashed it a couple of hundred times.... And now I love my g2. You won't be disappointed.
[G2 General] ingoljosh:
you must not really use your phone but for vcalls and texts.

the longest i have had a battery last is 24 hours with continuous use facebook instagram music etc.
[G2 General] Pat123:
Coming from Note 2, the one thing I wanted in my next device was battery life on par with Note 2. G2 beats the Note 2 easily. I get close to 48 hours on battery with ~4.5-5 hours of screen on time. Do note that I turn off Location, GPS and Google Now.
[G2 General] jonstrong:
You can still get great results without having to be so conservative with the features. I typically get similar screen time -- 4.5 to 5 hours, and I see battery dropping down below 20% after about 24 to 30 hours -- but:

- I never turn off GPS or Bluetooth

- Google Now is always on -- never turned it off

- under Location Access, I have "access to my location" on, and "GPS & Verizon location services" checked, and generally leave "Wf-Fi & mobile network location" checked.

That last item is an interesting one. If you turn it off when you're indoors, your device will turn on GPS and keep trying to get a location fix -- and that can burn up battery. Indoors near Wi-Fi, you can leave this option checked - and the phone will leave GPS inactive, and battery will last for ages. Seems that the converse is true outside: when you're out and about, leaving GPS turned on (AND leaving GPS & Verizon location services checked), the phone uses GPS to keep track of you and doesn't bother with Wi-Fi except for brief occasional use -- battery lasts quite well under these circumstances.

I've got GMail, G+, Chrome, Box, Dropbox and a couple of others syncing all the time too. The phone has NEVER died on me between the time I wake up and go to sleep (even on LONG days), and I almost invariably get 4.5 to 5 hours screen on time. I love getting results like this *without* having to turn off services or features, a few of which really contribute to a great overall experience.

I was on the phone last night outside a club and my friend told me that the back led pulses when you are on the phone. It looks so cool and i didn't even notice it before
[G2 General] Mytwuk:
I use it the same way I use every other phone I have owned except with this phone I can leave everything on like gps, Bluetooth etc and I easily get double what I did with my other phones. It's doesn't matter what you get I can't compare to anyone else, all I can compare to is other phones I have used and when I do it is amazing!
[G2 General] AnteusFogg:
Thought it was not but it seems to be. It's weird though as sometimes it'll show it, sometimes it won't. And I couldn't come up with a 100% working use case. Looks like it's very sensible to a precise placement of the quickwindow cover...

Stock KK, not rooted not modded. Just plain stock.

From what it seems though, you have to press volume down longer than without the cover to show the mini camera. But even then sometimes it'll show the normal one.

But that sure is a delightful discovery. Don't know why it's not part of the options for the quickwindow to activate or deactivate it. That would make it more exposed to the users.

Battery life! Its Awesome! Incredible for a smartphone with this hardware. Oh man, when i get official kitkat it will be only better.

I only noticed this yesterday... after pulling down the Status bar to read notifications, that instead of hitting the Clear button to clear all the entries, each of the individual notifications entries can be slid away.
[G2 General] robogo1982:
That's a standard 4.x feature.

I guess it's the feature in all latest smartphones. I remember a Note 3 user posting the same.

The hndwriting recognition keyboard gives me one more thing to brag about it to my friends.
[G2 General] ingoljosh:
Youre right.

I also leave my wifi on, Sync, connection optimizer, gps, full brightness, etc. and still get great battery life.

I guess if i really wanted to preserve battery i could get about three days.

USB-HDD

Not sure if this was mentioned before, but additionally to all the other great things that made me fall in love with this phone - even though i have no PC-Screen connection due to stupid Sprint ****.

My LS980 can power an USB3.0 HDD (Transcend, 2,5''), USB-OTG cable from Amazon and copy with help of the app "Paragon NTFS & HFS+" with up to 35 MB/s :D

Really no external power needed, the phone is enough to power the HDD! Now i only need a TWRP with NTFS support to save backup space on the phone
[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
get the g2, its an excellent device but remember that when a new android version comes out, expect about 6 months from the release date to get the official or cooked rom ! DO NOT EXPECT the updates to be quick ! it just wont happen. if your fine with that then get the g2 :) cus, as a nexus user we are used to having the update within a week max :p
[G2 General] rcozzi:
I would think the solution to that issue would be to root and rom. I guess I should check the support here for that.
[G2 General] tripjnj:
After having my GNex for the past 2 years, I made the switch to the G2 (verizon). I was hesitant at first as I had finally had the Nexus where I wanted it to be and was done with the crack flashing. Overall I am extremely happy with the change, though there were some drawbacks. First off, the battery life itself alone makes it worthwhile. I have everything syncing, google now active, brightness normal and get through the entire day with plenty of juice left. Not even close with the nexus, which would be plugged in every chance it could get. Also the speed of the G2 blows the Nexus away.

My main gripe with the G2 is that Google Wallet tap to pay doesnt work unless you load a CM or AOSP based 4.4 ROM. I used this feature tons with the gnex. And from what I'm hearing, it still won't be supported when the stock 4.4 upgrade gets rolled out.

I tried running a 4.4 ROM for a short while but just found it too glitchy for my liking. So I'm currently running stock, rooted, and xposed, with all of the bloatware frozen. I'm hoping that once 4.4 rolls out, there will be more stable stock-based ROMS coming out and I'll be able to use my Wallet once again.

Regarding support here for ROMs, there is plenty. Just go to the dev section for your carrier and read through the threads. Chances are whatever ROM you were running on your gnex is also supported on the G2.
[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
oh wow ! this came as quiet a surprize to me ! i always turn on flight mode n go to bed just so that i dont get disturbed during the night ! its an old habit, now i just was about to turn on flight mode and i got a whatsapp message ! and that green led made my whole White g2's body to illuminate ! it looks amazing !

i wonder how it looks on the black
[G2 General] Haxcid:
This may sound odd but I like the revamped dialer program. I came from 2.3.6 so the new dialer is really nice. I like the full screen pictures of who is calling and the swipe to answer, which honestly took me a minute to figure out, but then I also really like the put the phone up my head to answer it.

I owned an LG Revolution before this and that phone honestly suck balls, it was so bad that I swore off LG for good. I am glad I took a shot with this phone. My work is switching over from sprint to att this summer and the boss told us IT guys to pick a phone, with sprint we only had crappy feature phones which only did phone calls and walkie talkie, I am selecting the Black g2 to go with my white vzw g2.

So far 100% love this phone.

On Kit Kat: if you pull down the notifications bar and click on the time/date, it will open up the calendar app.
[G2 General] girlygirl00:
What the heck? When I do it, it opens the Date and Time Settings.
[G2 General] blitz911:
Back in 4.2.2, the screen would turn on with every text. Now in kitkat, it finally doesn't. That was a big annoyance before and I had to use sms popup to prevent the screen turn on, but now it's all good.

Please help!

I have a serious problem. The AM/PM on my time is in lowercase. I remembered changing it but i forgot where to change that. Please help. :(

Any prompt answers is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[G2 General] cremator75:
Its probably just the font your using.
[G2 General] lynsonpaul:
That was my initial thought but then, i changed it back and forth, even restarted the phone couple of times but still...

P.S. I have done a factory reset and lost my camera photos and lots of contacts but it still didn't go back to the original uppercase AM/PM. Haven't messed around with system files as well.
[G2 General] OptimusL:
I didn't notice till I read your post, I went to look at a previous screenshot and on JB it was uppercase. I guess it's just the kitkat update but I don't think you should've done an FDR just for that...

you can try military time\24 hour notation, if like it neat and tidy and want to distinguish am pm

[G2 General] diamond12:
When using the built-in video player with Miracast the video plays only on the TV screen. You can use the phone screen to run another app. The phone even gives you instructions on how to do it.
[G2 General] lynsonpaul:
Oops! Sorry mate. Hahaha. I posted it here hoping that someone stumbled on it as one of the delightful discoveries. Hahaha. My bad. I will not do it again. :)

It bugs my eyes. Sorry for saying that it's a serious problem. I just exaggerated a bit. I just want to keep things that I see everyday tidy, esp. my phone. :angel:

Yep. I realized that when I upgraded my gf's G2 last Saturday. I was just too stupid to do an FDR. I was frustrated after I did the FDR because I lost a lot of my phone contacts and a few of some important photos so I desperately sought out some help. It's okay now. I have learnt to accept the reality that it really is lowercase. Anyways, thanks. :good:

BTW, I was not able to backup because I was too bugged to see that the AM/PM changed to lowercase and no way to change it through the settings. Call it OCD or anything, i don't care. Hahaha. Cheers! :highfive:

[G2 General] stezo2k:
how amazing the battery is. i'm sure its even better with the KK update

1 hour screen on watching youtube, being on facebook and texting and still 97% my battery on my One X would be at 50-60% by then
[G2 General] errikosd:
I think the most important factor is the screen brightness. I keep it constantly <20%, usually ~5% or 0% when indoors with Auto enabled. With a few SMS, a few hours of WiFi and Data per day and some photos, it can last about 4 days on a single charge. Of course I do not do many calls (barely any), so that will have an impact, but you get the point. Battery is awesome.

I am on 4.2.2 stock, untouched.

Just the other day I turned my phone upside down and got a text and turns out there's a notification LED around the power button.
[G2 General] rfarrah:
Yup. Happened to me, too. But then it went completely unresponsive. Hello Assurion?
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
So not sure if this is a discovery or hardware features of current phones, anyway here goes:

My phone took a fall today from about 3 feet on the floor, it hit the top left edge first before landing face down. I picked the phone but luckily screen was not shattered, I was relieved. At closer inspection I found I had dead like pixels on top left of my screen and they looked bad. Anyway relived that Atleast screen is ok, decided to take it to Service centre tomorrow.

I had made up my mind that I will not pay and if they don't agree will live with it, but in next 10 hrs the spots have completely disappeared and screen is perfect. LOVE IT. Something like they advertise for gflex, but this was the screen. Bloody awesome.
[G2 General] GooeyGravy:

THANK YOU

To everyone who contributed Delightful Discoveries to this thread. It was very helpful when i first got my G2.

5 months later and still love my phone. HTC M8 and Galaxy S5 still don't compare to this BEAST of a device.
[G2 General] :
But i think ir blaster of g2 is not good . lg locked the ir blaster so you cant use third party software. There is no way to export and import your setting in lg quick remote. So every time you install a new rom you most set your setting in quick remote again ... And plus . i have canon camera va lg g2 . if my phone was samsung i could use third party software .

Quick remote list of device is poor . there is no camera .etc . kenwood air condituner is not included
[G2 General] Rayan:
Awesome new discovery!

A few weeks ago I found a new hidden feature on my LG G2 D801!

A horizontal portion of my screen towards the top is now totally immune to touch!

Hell yeah, at last! I was so annoyed that part of the screen was touch sensitive but now that area is totally useless!

</sarcasm>

Sorry I couldn't help it ?
[G2 General] Ralph77:
Hmm... this didn't coincide with (or happen within a week or so after) you putting a new screen protector on the phone, by any chance?
[G2 General] Rayan:
Thanks for replying but it wasn't my intention to hijack the thread...

But no it didn't happen like that... I think it happened after using the phone (on a call) on an unusually hot and humid day while sweating profusely, a few drops of sweat entered through the earpiece to the point of making it stop working so I had to continue the call through a headset.

Then I noticed the touchscreen started to fail only on that area near the top of the screen. The earpiece however came back to life a few minutes later.

I don't know if I want to get a screen replacement just to see the problem coming back, just like many reported cases.

Cheers ?
[G2 General] somemadcaaant:
LG backup in settings can back up and restore your quick remote after Rom install, and point the device remote at the G2 to make a profile for your camera or aircon easy, no need for LG to add every device...
