NFC. Near field communication. Google is your friend :P
[G2 General] android404:
Either that, or it's the NFC logo.
[G2 General] turbocomppro:
In this case, no it's not. I know what NFC means. There was no way to know that was the NFC icon when you have nothing to go by. It's not like they market the thing all over the place with that logo everywhere. As I said, I came from a Nexus 4. When NFC was enabled, there was no logo.

And the "Google is your friend" remark is very played out. This is not 2010 dude. And since it was already answered 3 times before yours, here's one for ya: Reading is your friend! ;)

Not sure if this has been posted or not but I really enjoy the ability to schedule a text message. Now I can send people reminders and text late at night but have my messages delivered at an appropriate time!:thumbup:
[G2 General] MobileNick:
Agreed. Just wish there was a way to easily keep that when using your own wallpaper or a custom launcher.
[G2 General] Kaiken:
Just found out you can theme the stock keyboard. Love my crack flash retirement... for now. This is all the options I need.
[G2 General] MobileNick:
Found something else cool just now. I use my phone as my primary alarm clock and am a little OCD about knowing the next alarm time. The G2 shows the alarm time in the lock screen with shortcuts but not when the PIN lock is enabled. Then you just see a clock with the day/date. From the PIN lock screen you can swipe left to add widgets and add one that includes the next alarm time to the lock screen. Long pressing on this gives you the ability to swap with the "main" widget, and now I always get the alarm time on the PIN lock screen! :) Of course, the time-out-screen already shows the next alarm time so now I get it twice on the same screen but that's okay with me! :D
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
Long pressing the notification buttons opens to that buttons settings.

DLNA works with Windows.

Wish the power button light light did something more. That was delightful for moments.

The quick remote can be set to automatically show when at home.

You can also change the LED notification color for individual people. Go to your contacts, select a person, edit, scroll down and there is a box for notification color. Pretty cool...

This is such a tiny thing but when you click on a theme to select it and it says cancel or apply, you can swipe it to the left and see a preview of the app drawer and its icons as well. I'm guessing people coming from the Optimus G Pro will be familiar with some of these little things. I also think its pretty cool we can change the dots on the lock screen, balloons, dewdrop and basic. I like the extra setting to keep them hidden until you touch the screen, that setting also makes the pattern tiny.

My delightful discovery is tap to focus when you taking video with 30fps,and in photos that you can tap the item you choose and it will react differently to the light,make it brighter or darker.
[G2 General] cheami:
Aka auto focus... Have you also discovered that if you turn flash on, flash will come on?
[G2 General] woof123:
Aka you need to read more carefully.TAP to focus that it tracks the movement of an object that you chose is NOT autofocus.Now go be a smartass somewhere else ;)
[G2 General] cheami:
How exactly do you tap items to make it react differently to light in camera photos.

I do apologize for the smartass remark, woke up angry.
[G2 General] imhowie:
I just discovered something kind of cool. If you click and hold on a notification toggle, it'll take you to the settings for that feature. To example, if you click and hold on the sound profile toggle, it will take you to the sound settings in your phone's settings.
[G2 General] ManOnTheMoon:
If you go to my apps under settings and scroll to all, hit the menu button and there's a feature called idle apps that notifies you if you haven't used an app for a set amount of time. This way you can delete the apps you don't use easier. I love it.
[G2 General] MobileNick:
That's awesome! :)

Going back to the wallpaper transparency thing, I don't know what happened but I can now have transparency on 3rd party wallpapers! :) No idea what I did - just searched for some nice 1080p wallpapers and downloaded a few. I tried applying one and realized it was the first time I got transparency of the buttons! The notification bar is more like 50% transparent, which I actually prefer because the icons/info are not always easy to see with 100%.

But the cool thing is now any picture I apply for wallpaper shows up with button transparency! It still doesn't work with 3rd party launchers but I'm okay with the stock.
[G2 General] retrospooty:
I know... The only problem is now I pick up my Nexus 7 and my wife phone and try to knock them on...
[G2 General] jspradling7:
lol

I do that at least once a day. Well, not to your wife's N7 but to my S4 or my wife's Note 2, or a phone here at work that someone wants me to look at. I got use to knock real fast.
[G2 General] shaungregg:
Go to settings then Accessibility and turn inverted color on, easy way to change the look of the entire phone including the status bar, notification dialer, etc. Try it with the Polar Bear live wallpaper, perfect for Halloween :)

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

Under settings go to accessibility and look for Universal Touch under Physical and Motor, turn it on and you get a transparent movable icon that you can place anywhere on the side of the screen. When you touch the icon it opens up a small window to control volume, power, home and gives you a pinch to zoom tool of some kind lol.

Maybe some people don't know about the Jellybean Easter egg, under system settings goto about phone and then software information. Tap on Android version until the jellybean appears, then press down on the bean until your phone vibrates and you'll have a new Daydream. Sorry I re-sized the pics too small lol but you get the gist of it.
[G2 General] virtual-aidz:
How do I do this?

I used that function a lot in GoSMS. It's the only thing that the stock sms app is missing for me, so if that's there this has got to be the most perfect stock phone I have ever had!

Compose a message, press the menu button, click schedule sending, check the setup schedule box at the top, select the date and time, click ok!

My delightful discovery

So I had been holding out for a nexus 5 for some time now, even went 48 hours without a phone hoping it would come out. But yesterday before the announcement, I couldn't wait any longer and took the plunge. Not only am I loving the g2, but I found out subsequently that verizon isn't getting the n5. So I can't possibly suffer buyer's remorse! :P

What I thought was awesome was that the emojii's are made to closely resemble (albeit minor changes, nice job lg dodging them patent lawsuits) ios ones. So now when I send or recieve them I won't have to translate them, lol.

Oh, and this things is so fast. So, so very fast. :)
[G2 General] The_Engine:
Charges fast

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but this thing charges to full very quickly. Using the stock charger it goes from like 20% to 100% in about an hour, maybe 1.5 hours.
[G2 General] virtual-aidz:
Great! Thanks :D
[G2 General] Uronlyfriend:
I also love how LG utilized the screen real estate almost flawlessly in most aspects. Like with the sms popup notification, instead of like most 3rd party apps I've experimented with, it pops up in the top-left corner instead of in the middle, disrupting what I'm doing. Now I only wish i could save what I wrote in the bubble as a draft and continue it in the sms app instead of having to start over :(
[G2 General] purpleraintoxicity:
for me, if I start typing in the bubble, then let it disappear, it saves the draft
[G2 General] kodrnusa:
This phone is perfect. I love emoji, and the whole sms app. But I can't find how to turn off automaticly conversion to multi media massage from standard text massage when I insert a emojo. Did any one figure that out.

I also love that you can pull down the notification bar when you are in full screen mode. The new kit kat 4.4 has also that :laugh:

the G2 packs the great Quick Peak feature!

if you do a task with full screen, just swipe from top screen down a bit and the statusbar will appeare ?

Yea this is super nice. We've had the PopUp texts on custom roms before but the call feature is 100% new.

I saw one of the AOKP team members commenting on how awesome this feature was and is going to build that function into the new AOKP builds.

I'm really digging the Stock Rom though. I've found tons of neat little features.

I especially like the theme capabilities for the Launcher, Keyboard, Nav Bar, Lockscreen, etc. Really cool.

The only thing I REALLY dislike is the Email notification icon is a "Microsoft Windows Flag". Get that crap off there!

Pressing back should not make a difference, as that is the "proper" way to exit an app without just going home. It should save regardless, but I've noticed mine didn't at first either.

I too cannot get intelligent auto to stick. When I exit out and go back in to the camera it defaults to normal again.
[G2 General] swisswinnerboy:
A camera feature -> If you keep the Photo release button pressed, wait untill it has a green rectangle, then change to some other lighting or focus point, and it will remain at the same focus and lighting giving you a overly bright picture or whatever :)

I tried what was suggested earlier, if you press home button it stays on IA, if you press back button it defaults to Normal.
[G2 General] SomethingWild88:
First post!

Not sure if this has been said yet, but I love that you can edit what toggles are shown and in what order at the top of the notification pull down.

The screen is also simply amazing. When I'm in a dark place, I'll set my screen brightness to 0%. Kind of funny because now it's the Google services that are using my battery the most now, not the screen!

Nice thread here.. it will be better if all the contribution is summaries at the OP..

Here's the new one never mention before in here... and just found out yesterday...

touch the screen and hold your finger for 1-2 seconds at home screen and release/swipe up... it will be opening app drawer in little horizontal windows...

not only the app but there's tab for widget and wallpaper too.. then you can scroll sideways to search for the contents... how wicked is that... LG FTW,,

Worked without extra setup.

Yep.. love the feature even though I think I won't be use it, but it nice to know we can remote the G2 from PC

as long as the computer and the G2 connect on the same network it will work

But OSP will disconnect if idle too long... just try it once

PC Suite can't sync anything if you connected with wireless though
