LG G2 32 GB case

Hi guys,

I bought this awesome device last week..Its a terrific device but I failed to get descent case for it.

i narrowed down to Spigen Slim Armor LG G2 Backcover Matel slate but it was damn expensive (~2.8k) but it was the best looking and rugged case.

I searched and found one in around 600rs (50 delivery extra) on rediff.com though I was sceptic of its quality I ordered one and it was as good as original one..I am so happy with product quality..If interested u guys can try too..!!! :highfive::highfive:

Edit: as discussed on various sites, it does have ir blaster hole and noise cancellation hole also :)
[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
i bought this

http://www.flipkart.com/amzer-case-...802+&ref=4501093d-f712-40cd-b0f9-97398ff60cf5

very happy with it, only issue is sliding the edges of the scren has become tough as it covers the edges exactly. apps like playstore and playmusic are difficult to use the gesture to view the sidebar, other than that its an excellent case
[G2 General] dba.rknair@gmail.com:
i bought this amazing device on my recent visit to US..really fast & smooth..

The back keys are good and take a little while to get adjusted..

Rooted and installed TWRP...looking for more...
[G2 General] mehra1:
Again the same question i am askin， sorry for that but any one of you good looking�� chaps having screen flickering issues.

Please do share thanx

And for any one who is thinking of rooting and installing cutom rom - Aeonflex with dori kernal is awesome.
[G2 General] nick_862003:
Hi, I dont have any screen flickering issue whatsoever...Can u specify whether it happens with a specific app or everytime..??
[G2 General] .jRay.:
Has anyone used cruserlite case for g2? I have the capdase case and its getting loose at the bottom. How is the cruserlite case?
[G2 General] smartjain:
Having no issues so far related to flickering.
[G2 General] whosaysjohn:
Can you confirm if WhatsApp is working on 3g on aeonflex? I had sync problems with the rom.
[G2 General] smartjain:
I can confirm that there are no issues with WhatsApp on aeon flex rom.
[G2 General] mehra1:
On every darn app and on home interface too :(

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

@whosaysjohn if itz not working just check your internet APN settings coz this rom doesnt take up the proper internet setting from default.
[G2 General] whosaysjohn:
ok...thanks...none of the gflex roms had whatsapp or google+ working on 3g...installed and restoring apps at the moment...

Torn between the LG G2 and the Nexus5

Hey there.

I know this might not be the right place but

Should i buy the LG G2 or the nexus 5

PS im from India.

I already read about all the pros and cons of this phone but i wanna know how yall feel about this phone.

I read about the epic battery, but is it as good or just overhyped like all other phones.

Well my main uses are plain music, g+, texting, whatsapp and that's just about it.

Currently Im a student and have to travel a lott, So i don't want my phone running out of juice when im out .

Im not even a heavy user.

Also can anyone of you compare it with the N5.

and and Im totally into rooting, modding and custom ROMs. Does this phone have good community support?

I wont be changing this phone for about 3 years, so it HAS to be future proof, durable and have the latest android, officially r unofficially.

Right now i own a moto defy, and its on 4.4

thanks.

Deepak. :)
[G2 General] ndnesh:

[G2 General] mehra1:
Hi deepak if you choose lg g2 then you will get better UI， Camera， Battery， Screen， Infrared for remote function. Wat else u can expect. So go for it.
[G2 General] dkv2222:
Better ui?

I thought the screen was the same.

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

Does the infrared actually work?

Does it work with the DTH boxes?
[G2 General] mehra1:
For some reason screen quality is better than Nexus 5 and yes infrared works just fine and yes it also work with all DTH and even with cable set top boxes.

UI = User Interface is highly customizable and have many good options like knock on feature, multitasking thru minni apps and many more whereas Nexus 5 is pure vanilla experience.
[G2 General] dkv2222:
How's the community support?

Custom Roms?

Also the battery. Heard so much about it.

How long do you get on one charge?
[G2 General] mehra1:
community support is very good and there are various custom roms kernels, so need not to worry as community is growing.

Itz charge time is 1.30 hrs though i never had checked it completly but itz damn fast, as i previously own galaxy note so compares to it, it take half the time to charge.

Just go ahead and buy it u wont regret.
[G2 General] dkv2222:
I read on XDA that on stock, it lags quite a lot.

I'm not gonna be rooting for a year, so can't afford any lag. :/

Is that true?
[G2 General] .jRay.:
Not at all. No lag whatsoever.
[G2 General] dkv2222:
Has lg given any Intel on the 4.4 update?

Cuz he g pro 2 has 4.4.

Maybe I could go with that.
[G2 General] smartjain:
It's all a waiting game now.
[G2 General] jiteshj:
LG have announced L III series with kitkat and will release G2 mini with kitkat at MWC and so we can expect it in March
[G2 General] dkv2222:
Seems legit.

But I tested the n5 and g2 side by side and the nexus was more smoother, buttery.

It also handled multitasking better.
[G2 General] smartjain:
I was sold on the camera so see what works for you.
[G2 General] .jRay.:
Nexus5 has kitkat which has ART, thats why its smoother, and g2 is smooth for jelly bean, not that far from n5.
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
Get the G2 better battery life, screen, louder speaker and camera, specifically white is better because you can't see finger prints etc, I have both colors.
[G2 General] dkv2222:
Right now I'm totally inclined towards the n5.

I tested both factory versions at a store.

Nexux 5 was faster. More fluid. Apps opened faster, multitasking was better. But I seriously love the battery and ir blaster feature on the g2

*confused*
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
So AirTel launched 4g in Bangalore, only available for iPhone 5s and 5c for now. I am trying to make our phone work on 4G let's see.
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
The LG G2 battery life is amazing just go checkout the gsm arena tests. The nexus uses same cpu but camera is pretty bad and contrast is a 1/3 less than g2. As for LTE in Banglore, trust me I turn my phone to CDMA only as LTE still uses more battery than 3G, I don't really need 30+ Mbit speed....... 3G in India can easily reach 5-10 Mbit at least on BSNL which I used when I was in Andhra. Don't get the iPhone my sister, mom and dad like my phone better and they've been using iPhones. There's too much restrictions you can't use iPhones as mass storage or Bluetooth to non apple devices and you need to use iTunes for all media. The G2 plays almost every type of major media and has best codec support in the smartphone market. No need for extra media players from market.
[G2 General] exynoss:
hi friends.

yesterday purchased G2 and today flashed cm 11 17th nightly. i am facing poor signal reception issue.

i am thinking to change modem. can anyone point out me towards modem collection thread and what is the latest modem in Indian G2.

butons on back side is new to me till now its hard to lock and unlock.
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
Go back to stock till there is a completely stable version of CM, stock will give better battery life / reception because it takes time to fix all these problems and approve commits, it will happen eventually.

There is a review of Oppo N1 loaded with Cyanogen (Factory loaded) vs regular version the Cyanogen version had lower battery life.

http://www.gsmarena.com/oppo_n1_cyanogenmod_edition-review-1034p3.php
[G2 General] exynoss:
Need to find out solution for signal reception only otherwise cm is quite stable now.

Can you tell me what is latest modem installed in Indian LG g2 ?
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
Sorry I have the CDMA+GSM version LS980 specifically for my carrier. Yours is the international one so I don't know. But don't cross flash other models baseband as you could end up in a tragedy lol.
[G2 General] exynoss:
lol okay. Will wait of any other forum member will say his Indian baseband / modem
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
Here you go, modems:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2451426

You have the D802 since yours is international/standard version.
[G2 General] exynoss:
Thanks for the link but problem is that thread showing 4 modems for d-802 but all showing same name and even my current modem has same name.

before I had s4 and s3 and those phones has tons of modem available in threads. and international version of g2 only has 4 modem available and how to differentiate between them.
[G2 General] NaveenKumarXDA:
Not with all but only pre ordered
[G2 General] :
Its also available when you buy from a store. 39.5k is a good price for 32GB without the flip cover and 42k with it.
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
Checked in Univercell they are giving the cover, but are asking 43.5k. Infibeam is selling it for 40k without the cover.
[G2 General] exynoss:
Confused between s4 and g2 .
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
Wats the confusion mate, G2 is better then S4 in pretty much every department.
[G2 General] abhinavsg:
Absolutely. there are a lot of positives that the G2 carries over the S4. to list a few

1. Snapdragon is better than Exynos any given day of the week (we only have the exynos version of the S4 in India). big.LITTLE architecture is a total failure.

2. You get a bigger & better screen on the G2, for almost the same physical size of the device

3. There's no comparison in the battery life you get out of the G2 to S4. G2 wins hands down

4. There's no over-heating issue on the G2 unlike S4

The only point the S4 scores over the G2 is expandable memory, that too is non issue for me who does not need a lot of memory to store media on the phone.
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
Ya 32 gb is way more then enough, but for few it seems less. Though with small battery how it helps, i am not sure.
[G2 General] adikath:
i am anxiously waiting for the 32 gb variant have already prebooked for the device at a local dealer who is willing to sell it to me at 40k with a screen guard and the quick window cover
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
where you from mate, because 32 GB is finally available in bangalore
[G2 General] NaveenKumarXDA:
So no negative to g2:

1. No accessories offline or online for g2.

2. No updates will come from lg. See g & g pro for base of allusion.

3. No battery cover.

4. No m sd support.

5. Pathetic service center support. No parts to repairs. They let you wait months to get repairs.

6. When everyone complaining on Facebook & Twitter than lg itself become problem.
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
1. Ya a very few, but the phone has been launched only a week. LG is no Samsung or Apple, to get support. It will come with time.

2. Yup a question mark, but then again G2 is the first time LG is actually pushing a phone in such a way, so i am hoping for a good support from them, but ya we will see.

3. Does not matter to me personally. I have been using phones without battery cover for years now without a problem(iPhone, HTC One X, Xperia Z and HTC One)

4. Does not matter to me, maybe to some with 32 gb i am good.

5. They are going to probably start replacing the entire phone just like Sony, but again who has a good service centre. I had to wait 2 weeks for samsung to replace my charging point. Nokia and HTC less said the better. We as a consumer are not treated well by any company here, wish our stupid govt can do something about it.

6. Social sites are full of complaints for Samsung and Sony and HTC too.
[G2 General] bULLET_dANCE:

Stop complaining guys...New product needs some time to get the updates and to be honest, whats the hurry ???

1. So optimus launched by one year & few months, g pro by 6 months have no accessories but g2 will have. :p keep dreaming. Lg even do not have that section on official site.

2. Which way? Giving 2 free phones visa Twitter. They given 5 when g pro launched via Facebook & Twitter. Or they launched some special ad system on media that I an unaware of ?:eek:

3. 4. Your choice but I like options. no words.

.

5. keep dreaming again ? any proof of your basis? Two weeks compared to months of pain. Dude get it right.:D

6. not as much as lg. Check yourself. Do a survey. You well get truth yourself.

.

It's your money enjoy whatever the way you want. I given proof of my basis.:sly:

Please provide yours?
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
Dude i am no LG sales rep, nor do i want to get into these endless conversations. Good you gave proof to your points, you win :)

I will buy what i think is the best VFM, and currently i think it is G2. You do not have to agree, and you can buy what you like with your money, i will do the same :)

which shop ?

im from delhi also. i want 32gb also, maybe if both of buy together we can get more discount :silly:

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 AM ----------

there is a difference between g2 and optimus series. lg is trying to get ahead of the rivals so will have to offer things. Indian lg head said in interview that updates for g2 will be released soon. what accessories do you want ? there will be tonnes of them, granted majority will be from 3rd parties but what difference does it make who makes it ?

fact of the matter is that g2 is the best phone in the market and if not lg then we'll have latest android on g2 thanks to xda. dont buy it if you dont want :good:
[G2 General] Erezh21:
Delhi?

Does anyone know where can I buy the the white color in 32GB in New Delhi? Im visiting there this weekend.
[G2 General] abhinavsg:
Hi everyone,

Naveen, it's your opinion about accessories, updates and service. You have the right to your opinion & I respect that. Also, you are right about noon removable battery and memory expansion slot.

Aman, thanks for replying to Naveen's post. I absolutely agree to all the points.

Let me tell you guys, I had a S3 before G2. The battery door got scratched. I ordered a new battery door with my local Samsung service centre in Aug and haven't got it till date. Having a lot of service centres and a very popular phone also didn't solve my problem. In the past I've had good and bad experiences with Nokia and other brand's service centre. It all ad-hoke in India.

LG definitely is trying to bite in into the smartphone market with the launch of G2. They are spending a lot on ad campaigns and trying to make sure that the G2 is a hit.

To be very frank, G2 is the best flagship in my opinion, on overall basis. I have purchased it for that very reason. I have put my trust on LG for availability of updates and hope they reciprocate. As far as accessories are concerned, I only need a screen protector and a smart cover. I've already cut a screen protector and put it on my phone and coz I pre ordered, will get the smart cover soon.

Hope every G2 user has a great experience with the device.

From ebay, for rs.735. Search lg g2 in cases. its the first result
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
Your right, different bands. If you want to get a phone from US get the CDMA+GSM (Global) ones Sprint or Verizon that way you can switch to CDMA if you want. I'd be careful in future buying carrier phones because most of the sellers claim insurance after selling the phone saying they lost it. In California they passed a law requiring remote disabling lost phones. So better buy the Indian version rather than face headaches in future not to mention slower updates to carrier versions, extra junk software on carrier phones eating battery and lack of warranty.

HELP HERE abhinavsg

Hey man!! we know Nexus 5 D821 is 4G lte suppored.. but in India Lte is launched by airtel in some states using Band 40 2300mhz TD-LTE . So i wanted to know if its working or not ? (Indian lte = band 40 2300mhz TD-LTE).

you say Lg g2 has snapdragon 800 and is capable of 4g lte In india. it does just require software update to do so! Is this true?

If yes Then NEXUS 5 should too?????:

Will it support Indian LTE in future!!!:

[G2 General] nextdoorguy:
As u guys know Airtel has 4G now in Bangalore...will it work on my G2?
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
No LTE band is incompatible as far as I know.

LTE 2600 on D802 vs LTE 2300 on Airtel Network.

LG D802TA (Australia) supports LTE 2300
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
LTE 2300 falls under Band 40, pretty much supported by G2
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
LG India didn't mention LTE2600 or any 4G at all only D802TA Aussie version shows support for Airtel network. Maybe you can enable via hidden menu?
[G2 General] smartjain:
I think that there needs to be an update from Airtel to get activated on lte
[G2 General] ndnesh:
AT&T users are getting the 4.4.2 update! Hopefully it trickles down to India sooner rather than later!
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
Go to hidden menu settings, on some phones bands are disabled by default. If there's no difference between regular D802 and D802TA hardware wise, maybe you can flash Aussie firmware, to get LTE 2300.
[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
true story man, im mostly gonna download the latest kitkat european open update for the d802 that we have in india :p and there are d80210g released (updated 4.2.2) which we still havent received... i might just make the jump to the european firmware soon, its bloody 2 gigs :| on my 512 kbps connection itll take 2 days :|
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
When i go and select Band 40 or any band, selection does not stay. I think we will have to wait for a firmware update from LG for making it stay on Band 40, should hopefully come with KK update
[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
btw did any1 of you indian fellas flash a different region d802 factory rom by any chance ? i used to easily flash roms on a samsung device earlier but since a lot of ppl have reported soft bricked devices, im a bit afraid :\ did any1 do this?

can we just flash the ATT update?

It's ok what is the rush anyway, you have waited so long another one month won't hurt. Also it is not like KK brings too many changes which are like WOW. 90% of changes are under the hood and we won't even know them.

Why tinker too much if you are not very sure about what you are doing.

I flashed the open European ROM on my Indian G2. Had some problems with a wrong recovery flash and had to flash stock to get back to normal. I only had the European ROM with me as a backup. D80210E.

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

But yes, we can't flash the AT&T update as that's for D800. That will mess up our phone for sure. We have to wait for a D802 build.

i currently have the ghost touch or scroll issue, when i scroll it accidently opens or clicks on stuff (only in settings> audio> while selecting ringtones) dono why this happens
[G2 General] ndnesh:
Hmmm I never had this problem on mine even when on the Indian version. Having said that, the Indian version got downloaded, so if I do find any problems with the European version, I can flash the Indian ROM.

You can try flashing the European ROM and see if that fixes these issues for you.
[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
did you root your g2 ? im afraid about the root counter that might void my warranty :\ i paid 40k for this. i dont want it to just go poof :p , some say after flashing stock rom and fact reseting it, the root counter disappears
[G2 General] jaidev.s:
Yup, after flashing stock rom and a factory reset, root counter resets to unrooted
[G2 General] smartjain:
I can confirm this,you can go back to the uprooted status once you flash back to the stock Rom.
[G2 General] rastigo:
Thats not quite correct. I have 10c updated stock, rooted it with cwm recovery. Then flashed the stock kdz and then factory reset the phone. Still shows rooted in the download mode

Anyone knows how I can get unrooted status back
[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
what the **** ! how did they get it back ? if you do get ur status to nonrooted again please do notify me of what u did
[G2 General] rastigo:
If I get unrooted, will definitely let u know. As of now, no one has replied so I think one cannot get unrooted status once you have rooted. But if it can be done I sure wanna know how...????????????????
