I installed the stock LG browser from Scott's thread, works great but doesn't show up in Q-slide choices. How did you get it to do so?

LG G2 VS980 (VZW)
[G2 General] MobileNick:
Don't know if this is a regular Android feature or something specific to the G2. But I always remember only keys 2 - 9 being able to be speed dial assignable. But on the G2 you can go up to 99!! Not that I could memorize that many speed dials (esp since contacts are automatically searched by letter) but still kind of cool :D
[G2 General] Steamer86:
It isn't in the choices, but works when opened if you hit the Q-Slide button in app

The "Join contacts" function within contacts is FANTASTIC! I spent 2 hours cleaning up my contacts and had so many duplicate (or more) contacts form either g-mail/skype/facebook/etc. and "Join contacts" lets you easily merge your contacts. Also, if you accidentally merge contacts that you shouldn't have, you can easily split.

Also, while merging, you can individually select each contact with a checkmark so if you have 2 different people with the same name, you can keep them from merging with each other.

LIFESAVER!

Doing the Join Contacts created a problem for me. You may want to check your phone for the same issue. After Joining Contacts the Backup contacts to Google fails. I had to remove my google account then re add it, and not join my contacts for the backup function to work again on backing up my contacts.

Go into your address book, Menu Button/Settings/Accounts & Sync then Google and see if you can sync contacts or if it fails???
[G2 General] :
didnt fail for me, sorry

maybe special character or something unsupported?

maybe it failed before and you didnt notice it?

Works fine. It's not G2 featur though. It was ther on my old GNex and my wifes S3 so it's been Android's for quite some time by now.
[G2 General] hd-renegade:
Hmmm, that makes me wonder what causes the issue then.
[G2 General] yyz123:
I had no problem syncing, did you get an actual message that said the sync failed? Contacts/Calendar/Drive/etc. everything synced fine.
[G2 General] hd-renegade:
It gives this for the error: Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.
[G2 General] yyz123:
I recently added a couple more contacts so I just joined those accounts and everything seems to have synced just fine with no error message so I'm not sure why it's giving you that problem.
[G2 General] hd-renegade:
Looks like I am on a mission to try and resolve this issue.
[G2 General] trickster2369:
Delete your Google account from your phone, then sign back in. Sync with Google, and don't join contacts. Should work, it did for me.

After doing a lot of reading, and finding things that did not work, this is what fixed the issue:

How do you do this?

Figured it out. For calls, system settings - call - incoming call pop up. For texts, open the messaging app, settings - notification - new message pop up.
[G2 General] nspeer:
I love the customization options for the notification LED. However, I wish there were a way to set the LED to remain lit until the notification is acted upon. When I take a quick glance at the phone, I oftentimes miss the blinking LED as it does not blink often enough.

Am I missing something in settings? BTW, I have the Verizon version.
[G2 General] Steamer86:
No stick settings to change it. =/

I love the IR learning mode. Basically, you start it up, choose a button on your phone, and then point your, say, TV remote at the IR blaster on your phone, hold a specific button and the phone will learn the function of that specific chosen button.

Love it.

I love the 50GB box.com account. I already had 50 GBs so I signed my wife up and got her her very own account.

1. Download the box app.

2. Create account.

3. Sign in on your G2.

4. Profit.

The cool thing about box is the custom URLs. And 50 gigs.

My biggest discovery is I have no need for root. This is the first phone I have not rooted going back to the original droid. I use amazon stuff and I his the stupid Verizon crap. I suppose I may root once updates start rolling out and Verizon will not approve them, but for now I see more issues for those that root than for those of us who are stock.

On the t-mobile variant, rooting the g2 is a piece of cake. No issues here. Then you can install your favorite root apps and get rid of system bloat like carrier iq. But best of all, the stock Wi-Fi hotspot feature becomes free. (Don't tell t-mobile).

[G2 General] mdfritz:
I didn't do anything unusual. I simply configured the security on it (wpa2 psk), set the timeout to 15 minutes, and checked allow all devices. I do remember that the first few times I couldn't get a connection established, but after the second third attempt I got my tablet to connect, then after a few more tries, I got my pc connect. Ever since, it's been spot on and super fast for any device that connects. It says verifying account when it starts up, but it never prohibits usage, and I've never been billed for it and I've used it a lot over the past 2 months.

I just discovered the stock Email app has a Pinch/Zoom feature for exchange emails. Not used to that coming from the AOSP Email app. I think the AOSP supports it, but only zooms in or something. The LG Email app, let me zoom way out which was very handy for trying to read a dirty email the guys were sending around! (you can also zoom in pretty good too, if you know what I mean ;) )

You can get rid of the QSlide bar in the Notification drop down by adding the Qslide button to the quick settings and using the button to hide the QSlide Bar. You can even hide the QSlide button from the quick settings afterward and you'll never have to see QSlide again.

Guest mode is great for those who have kids who constantly pick up your phone without asking. I added in all the kid friendly, non destructive, non personally sensitive apps I could find (up to thirty), and showed them the pattern for that labotomized mode. You have to use the pattern unlock all the time, but it's worth it for the peace of mind knowing that they can have a little fun, but can't access objectionable content, and your phone settings and personal data won't get compromised every time you leave it somewhere around house. It's also nice when you want to let someone borrow your phone for a few minutes.

We all know the battery life on the G2 is the most stellar of any top tier phone out there, but here are 3 simple tricks that can get you super sick battery life (like consistent 6+ hours screen time). There are 3 hidden battery leeches on the system of this phone. The first two need root access to freeze with a de-bloater (like the debloater free app), and the third can be done on stock unrooted.

1. If you are have the T-mobile variant, freeze CarrierIQ (system name: IQ-tmobile...). It is a hidden controversial surreptitious data collection system app which also sucks down up to 7% of your battery each day.

2. Freeze LG Smartshare (system name: SmartShare). It is neat, but only works on the stock music player. I generally don't use that player and wouldn't play my music over my TV speakers anyway. It can suck down up to 4% of your battery just looking for a connection all day even when not activated.

3. If you are not dependent upon Google Now to tell you about your whereabouts and the world as it pertains to your personal life, then disable wi-fi & mobile network location in Settings->General tab->location access. You can still use Google services, sync, and mapping that require GPS, but it won't use wi-fi and cell signals to track you're every move (NlpWakelock). Saves about 9% of your daily battery consumption.
[G2 General] metalboy94:
Actually there are way more hidden leeches - the ones I'm particularly bothered about are kernel wakelocks. There's one for wifi, one for data, one for sensors, one for anything.
[G2 General] mdfritz:
Right, the better Wi-Fi app fixed the Wi-Fi wake lock for me. My kernel wake locks aren't showing up in better battery stats for some reason.
[G2 General] metalboy94:
You mean this one?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterwifionoff&hl=ro

As an aside, I surprisingly had 0 bam_dmux wake calls or time since I disabled Wi-Fi optimization.

Also surprising is that, for me at least, the number of kernel wakes for Wi-Fi is quite variable, and so my battery drain on Wi-Fi while idle can be anywhere between 0.5% and 1% per hour. Qualcomm really needs to get their crap together.

/OT
[G2 General] mdfritz:
That's the one. The settings are extensive in that you can set up dozens of conditions, but in a nutshell, white listing your preferred Wi-fi ap's stops the Wi-Fi wake locks.

[G2 General] OhioDroid80:
I was unable to find the carrier IQ by the recommended means above. Please correct me if I am wrong but I found the IQ using a file explorer and noticed it's icon and went into titanium and found the same icon and froze those apps. It was a pink colored cog wheel.
[G2 General] billykxda:
Font size in the SMS app can be changed by pinch-in/out. Very cool!
[G2 General] mdfritz:
Using a root file explorer, if you went to system/app you would see 3 files:

IQ-tmobile-release-unsigned.signed.odex

IQ_OOB_v1.5_forLG.signed.odex

IQToggle_v1.1.3.signed.odex

If those are the ones you froze, when you go back to that folder, they will be duplicated with a .frz extension.

With debloater free, you freeze the first and they all get frozen. The other way to tell is using better battery stats. If you don't see carrier iq in your partial wakelocks, you're golden.

- Quickly jump to bottom or top of a long web page in the stock LG browser by swiping up or down with 2 fingers.
