Now that G2 costs close to 30k, what do you guys suggest, G2 or Nexus 5? I'm torn between the better hardware on G2 vs the super long support that Nexus 5 will get.

thanks!
[G2 General] mor_1228:
G2 coz everything is better than N5. camera, battery,

I've seen some amazing screen on time for our device in various of the screenshots posted... But i never get past 3.5 hours... Can somebody confirm the max sot with 100% charge to 5% charge and always 100% brightness...!
[G2 General] berz:
you will never cross 3.5 hours SOT with 3G and 100 % brightness -_-
[G2 General] nick_862003:
Okzz... I daily watch movies n all in full brightness for 1-2 hrs... N get around 2.5 to 3.5 Sot...!
[G2 General] berz:
its exactly what i said u won't cross 3.5 hours with 100 % brightness :\ movies don't drain much battery its browsing and use of 3G which does.
[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
fyi, movies or things that make the screen use its 60fps refrash rate uses max battery. while browsing the web on 3g will use more power for the 3g connection. you see, our phone has "gsync" which makes the display stop refreshing every second like on traditional devices. it wont refresh the screen when needed, this way i thought i'd test the battery backup and kept the phones screen on permanently. guess what ? i got 12 hours of SCREEN ON TIME over 15 hours on battery :D crazy right ? well gsync makes it possible. heres proff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBZUMpnRGLI&list=UUGRDqdG1H4jxNU_IMBsyymg

Exactly at what stage OTA fails in the rooting procedure? I am rooted on my G2 Kitkat with stock ROM and still having the stock recovery. Does using custom recovery make the OTA fail in updating the phone?

Hi Friends,

Am unable to get into recovery mode on my D802 (32GB) and OS currently on my G2 is 20b and it is unrooted. I tried process mentioned (VOl down+power, after logo stop pressing and again press both of them).

Also one more thing is, i tried to get into recovery with above method for 4 to 5 times, after i gave up and re started my phone, battery started showing as 100% (it was 65% when i started trying to get into recovery), i rebooted couple of times but still it is shwing 100% (offcourse now it is discharging bit faster, hope it discharges fastly only till 65% or near to it)

Please help me on getting into recovery mode.

Thanks friends

Has anybody used a Miracast dongle? Any pros and cons ? Flipkart is featuring these dongles, but i do not know any thing about their quality and reliability.

This is the one i am speaking about:

And what do you mean when you say "i used latest philz kernel (6.48.4) to flash the rom"
[G2 General] gbhanurishi:
Sorry for wrong question, i was thinking kernel and recovery as same. Now got it clarified, i am using philz recovery, i thought flasing kernel will change recovery too, now understood that they are different and flashing kernel may not change recovery. Thanks for ur time,

[G2 General] El Che:
I went to lg service centre today because person on other end couldn't hear me but i was sure there was no hardware defect with the microphone because it worked fine with skype, viber etc and also recorded perfectly so there must be some software issue. So i went there since it was within warranty and i hadn't rooted or installed any custom roms and this was a conscious decision because i didn't want any problems with warranty.

So i was sat there waiting for them to fix my phone and after 15 mins one guy comes out from the back calling my name, i thought to myself that was quick but he handed the phone back to me claiming it was rooted thus out of warranty. I then proceeded to argue with him that i had not rooted it and the only thing i had done was to update the damn thing to kitkat through the official lg ota update, he then took me back..connected the phone to the computer and showed me that it was showing it was rooted (both in the comp and phone). I sat there not knowing what to say because i knew i hadn't rooted it. So i went to the head guy and explained him the situation, after a while he took it back did something and brought the phone and told me to check it. I called up a few people and they could hear my voice although with a few gaps (i think that was due to bad signal). Now my phone has 4.2.2 and im not sure whether i should upgrade to kitkat lest the problem appears again. But it was a software problem and it persisted even after i factory reset it but it only reset to kitkat and not 4.2.2. Later on my knock on stopped working but knock off was working so i fixed that by dialing 3845#*802# and updating touch firmware.

Let this be a warning to others that G2 can appear to be rooted in lg system even if it hasn't been rooted, i think themer might have rooted my phone when i downloaded it from the app store but i highly doubt it.
[G2 General] RohanM:
No app from play store can root the phone just like that...

You can verify if the phone is rooted by root checker or simply go into download mode, there will be your root status...

If it is saying rooted then yeah it was rooted for sure...
[G2 General] mushipkw:
Guys, how is the GPS of the phone, I read at various sources that GPS of G2 is very bad.

Hey mor,

Are u able to uninstall sys app without root ? I am getting uninstall option for many sys apps like task man, lg live wallpapers, dictionarie etc...
[G2 General] El Che:
I know that, ive been flashing for years and have lost count on the number of roms i flashed on my htc hd2. The point was i never wanted to flash in g2 and never did nor did i root it so i didn't bother checking in download mode because i assumed it would be unrooted. I bought a brand new product in a sealed package and no one in my circle knows what it rooting so i dont think anyone flashed something behind my back and why would anyone do that even ? I have no idea how it was showing rooted unless i managed to sleep walk with my phone to the pc and flashed something and then came back to my bed which is highly unlikely :silly:

Its showing unrooted now but im now on 4.2.2 which the service centre did.

Guys kitkat shoes Rooted even if you haven't Rooted the phone. There is a thread in the forum for it.

Some files have changed in the update to. Kitkat which makes the download mode think that the phone is rooted even if it's not. You need to be Rooted to make changes and make download mode show unrooted /default setting.

Anyone using Wireless storage on 5GHz network? I want to know the speed of file transfer from PC as I planning to purchase a new router with 5ghz band and 300mbps data transfer. So can anyone help me should I upgrade or stay with my linksys 54mbps 2.5ghz router only.

Any idea on AC routers aur our device supports AC routers.

With linksys 2.5ghz I get 2mbps transfer speed not more than that.

Guys kindly suggest me a good screen protector ( i prefer dry install ones or tempered glass ) and a good case for my g2
[G2 General] DavidG4VT:
I work in a Verizon store and we sell Gadget Guard tempered glass. I have one on my G3 right now. It comes with a lifetime warranty if it falls of or cracks. Check it out at gadgetguard.com/lg-g3-glass-screen-protectors.html#ad-image-0
[G2 General] fundoozzz:
I too was searching for a screen protector and wanted a cheap solution.. so I found a tempered glass for g2 on shopclues.com for Rs. 225 (Mrp. Rs. 299 and 25℅ coupon discount) . I received it yesterday and applied it yesterday itself and it's surprisingly good enough.. Though the tempered glass is slightly lifted up near the ear piece end and the sides but that's coz our G2 is curved at edges.. and it is not an issue for me.
[G2 General] mor_1228:

hi can u share coupon code also ?

anyone facing multitouch issue or no touch issue after applying gadgetshieldz screen protector.
[G2 General] rastigo:
If you want 0 touch issues, nilkin is what you should go for. Fits beautifully. 450 bucks. It also ships 2 camera glass cover to avoid scratches on the camera glass module
[G2 General] fundoozzz:
I guess the coupon has ended, still you can try it out. The coupon i used was SC5MA25

It isn't a bad deal at 299 either. The other guy telling about Nilkin for Rs 450 is to be imported using ebay, so that will need like 20-25 days to ship. further my debit card was not allowing forex transactions and i don't have paypal account so opted for this.
[G2 General] mor_1228:
i wanted to change my screenguard because i am having many touch issue like no response or multi touch response but i dont have a paypal account.

yeah i wanted to for that also but i also dont have paypal account.
[G2 General] mor_1228:
what all items u get in packaging except that glass protector like any wet wipes or any dust removing sticker ?
[G2 General] fundoozzz:
Just the screen protector and the cleaning cloth.
[G2 General] mor_1228:
does u apply like that we saw videos on youtbube that we just have to align it to the screen and press in middle with a finger and rest it does it on its own that is self apply itself ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=07o2V0wJwNc#t=95
[G2 General] fundoozzz:
Yes it applies by its own... n if there remains any bubble, you can easily slide it out using finger unlike in normal screen protector.. the only thing u need to take care is to align it right in the first go.. I used the hinge technique to apply it perfectly aligned.
[G2 General] mor_1228:
What's that technique can u share?
[G2 General] fundoozzz:
Watch this http://youtu.be/dt9_fZDT-As

and look out how he creates a hinge by using tape.

I generally prefer using 3 tape pieces for making hinge rather than two as in the video.
[G2 General] mor_1228:
can we use case with this protector ?
[G2 General] fundoozzz:
It fits perfectly to the black screen portion (including the very thin black border around the screen) and the remaining portion is left out.. and the similar amount of space is left out at the top n bottom too.. so just check out how much area your case covers.
[G2 General] mor_1228:
well then i can use it because my case is not covering these areas :highfive:

is it peeling offf ? how much time ago u applied ? should go for expensive brand product or this is fine ?
[G2 General] fundoozzz:
Expensive one is always better off if you have budget.. it is a typical Chinese product though good enough for its price.. it isn't peeling of though it is slightly lifted from the edges due to curves of the device but it isn't causing any problem.. I too will be ordering nilkin one in one or two months , till then I will get my paypal account verified too.

P.S. :- Thanked you by mistake :P
[G2 General] mor_1228:
i have ordered it now let see how it goes with my G2.

i guess we need PAN number for paypal account.
[G2 General] rastigo:
Using nilkin sice about 7 months. Not a single scratch yet. The screen protector fit perfectly leaving just enough space required for a case. No elevation on the sides. Not exaggerating but mu screen touch response is better now. O% lossof touch sensitivity. I can place my phone on a flat surface and yet use the entire screen including top corners without a problem. The nilkin pack includes a screen wipe cloth, wet and dry wipe swabs, an antistatic blue dust removal stip, 2 tapes, for either removing the screenguard or for pulling dust or creating a hinge, 2 camera lens protector films and an instructions manual. Its totally worth it. Also the glass is quite thin as compared to others. Did i mention 0 finger prints and great color reproduction at all angles

I wanted to buy that only but I don't have a PayPal account nor any credit card also.
