[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
What do you think now that we are somehow sure the Nexus 5 will share most same hardware as the G2,should I swap my One with G2 as soon as the international version is out here,or wait for Nexus 5?

One of the reason I want to swap is the bigger 5.2'' screen in not so big body,dunno if LG will retain the size for N5,but in another hand what I am afraid of with the G2 and could be corrected in N5 is the low volume of speaker.

Software wise if both phones have more than 90% same hardware it will mean we can port 4.4 easily on G2 and LG's UI on N5.

So what should I do?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcharng:
I am a long time GN user and has been extremely happy with my old Galaxy Nexus phone. I was really looking forward to Nexus 5, and was planning to wait until it is release before making my decision.

I took the plunge with G2 recently and have been using it for awhile. The things that make me really happy is the battery life. Now my phone actually lasted me more than a day.

Another reason is the price of Nexus 5, which will be high in Thailand. Probably as much as G2. (My Galaxy Nexus costed me 600+usd a few years back).

One thing I will miss about Nexus devices is the development and support. Even now my GN is running 4.3 with latest patches and update. While my brand new G2 is running 4.2.2.

G2 Device is blazing fast, with battery life that last. It will keep me from tinkering with rom/kernel upgrades and just focus on using G2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawlgsx:
Personal choice, no one else can decide for you :).

I couldn't wait, and I am happy I didn't because the G2 is amazing. Super super fast and awesome battery life.

I am not a real heavy user (I don't play games or watch movies, I mostly use it for texting/browsing/email/weather/NFL/etc.. and streaming music in my car through Gmusic) and right now I unplugged at 5am yesterday, it is now 7:10am the next day (26 hrs later) and I am at 83%.

That said, I am fairly certain I will still buy a Nexus 5 when it comes out for immediate access to KitKat.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zentac:
Only for now :)

Once the n5 is out and the g2 more readily available worldwide you can expect ROM's to be popping up left and right
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisexv6:
Plus if it really does pan out that the N5 is just a slight variant of the G2, the ROMs might share a lot of the same "stuff", meaning development for the N5 may be easily ported to the G2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alhadee12:
I enjoy my G2 and I'm sure the N5 well be fine since its a LG product. The major difference would be running vanilla android. I'm fine with the current UI for what I do.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeaconBoogie:
The more I use the LG UI, the more I start to worry about going back to stock AOSP... I don't precisely know where the VZW starts and the LG ends, but they sure have done a damn fine job of keeping this from being ****.

Although, I did find some Engrish in one screen: "QuickRemote does not support in landscape mode." Definitely showing Korean roots there, gents.

Still, AOSP/vanilla Android always seems sort of half-way there, like they keep missing little things that should be obvious. Apple is developing the same problem now that Cook is running the shop. iOS, until version 7, seemed to have someone in charge of UX who was a complete control freak over maintaining coherence. I don't mind iOS 7 and it's definitely an improved aesthetic, but it doesn't feel as polished as previous versions.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
I have a Nexus 7 for kitkat. I can't fathom carrying two 5" phones around. Lol.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toughcookie:
I had this same problem!

I loved my nexus 4! ran flawless, not a terrible camera and decent battery life and I was waited for the 5 until I dropped my beloved nexus and cracked the whole screen :crying: so having to go back to my old GS3 was no fun. I hated touchwhiz more than anything.

What did push me to buy the G2 over the nexus was the fact that the trend with nexus phones is usually outdated (not by much, but still not top of the line) technology in order to keep the price lower. With the G2 you have top of the line everything as well as a amazing design! If money is not a issue go with the LG, if you want to save a little money but still have an awesome phone wait for the nexus. I really actually love what LG has added to the UI. It's not overwhelming and slow like touchwhiz.

I say get the LG G2 its worth it! Once you get used to the buttons in the back you'll never want to use another phone. :D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akong702:
I came from the galaxy nexus, and had the nexus one before that. I just couldn't deal with a pure nexus device anymore. There's always something the nexus sacrifices like battery, camera, and or screen.

I went with the G2 this time around because android is pretty much matured imo. Plus you get an awesome camera, battery life, screen, and G ram, which is a cool thing to have to save more battery life. Oh and LG going with on screen buttons this time sold me.

It's safe to say that LG g2, is a great phone to buy over the nexus this time around, unless of course you're all about software updates. One down side though about the phone, Netflix will only stream 1080p on 4.3 surprised no one mentioned that anywhere :eek:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akong702:
It's not there, or I just can't find it...:confused:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geekybiker:
Biggest reason not to wait is the 2300mah battery vs 3000mah. That and a smaller screen.... Meh. The screen I could live with, but the reviews on battery life are what made me get the g2 over waiting for the n5.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex72:
+1
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] New Rising:
I was considering on waiting for the Nexus 5 but then I read it could only have a 2300mah battery and coming from the Maxx HD I can't do that. 3000mah sounds nice and everyone has been saying they've been getting great battery life.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelio_o:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjafan:
I just got this phone today because it is a screamer, even on the extremely heavy LG Software. I traded in my nexus 4, because I need wifi calling in my apartment :'[.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibanez33:
Like many on here I've enjoyed having my galaxy nexus and the dev support has been fantastic but I will be going G2 instead of nexus 5 mainly due to the battery. the GNEX is still a great phone (although I'd be the first to admit the screen is poor) and still holds its own (aside from intensive gaming) but its the battery life is getting annoying I'm lucky to get 3/4 of a day out of it.

Also banking on similar hardware to a nexus leading to good dev support. For all the merits of LG's software (I won't slate it but I'm not wiling to try it) I want this thing stock as soon as.. well ideally paranoid android :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surge27:
Agreed, I was debating on Nexus 5 but I'm pretty sure it won't have the battery of the G2. Plus, we already have root and custom recovery. All we need is for the roms to flood in. In the meantime, the LG UI is pretty damn good as is.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] nagash91:
Anyone know if Game Gripper for droid 3 is compatible with photon Q? :rolleyes:

Here is the product: http://www.game-gripper.com/category_s/49.htm
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Die Bruine:
Nope,

Droid 3 has different dimensions, but more important, a very different style keyboard. You run the risk of overlapping keys with those buttons. Besides, the Photon wouldn't even fit.

thanks for the info.

Would really love phone gripper for photon Q :(
[LG Optimus 2x] LEDAHGRIM:
Possible a really stupid question... But I have already searched all over Cyanogenmod 10.1 settings

and I can't find where to select what I want the home button to do.

Not really an Issue, But I want to use holo launcher and tap the home button so that holo launcher

redirects me to my home screen when I want... That's where the problem comes in, When I tap the

home button it returns me to Cyanogenmod 10.1 default launcher and I have to launch Holo launcher

again...

So... Where do I set the home button setting in Cyanogenmod 10.1 default launcher?
[LG Optimus 2x] 60nine:
when you've installed the 2nd launcher, at the first click of the home button the phone probbably asked you whether to launch default launcher or the new one, and you clicked the old one and selected always... so now the default launcher launches everytime you press the home button...

to undo this, go to settings > apps > find the default launcher app (trebuchet?) > scroll down to "launch by default" > click on "clear defaults"...

now when you click your home button - it should ask you whether to launch default launcher or the new one (holo), select holo and tick "always"...
[LG Optimus 2x] LEDAHGRIM:
Thanks! That solved my problem, Now I can set holo as the default launcher

whith no problems!

[HTC Sensation] pdevil:
I have a HTC Sensation.

It is S-off and has super CID.

It is stuck on the first bootscreen (HTC logo).

I Can´t access the bootloader or recovery, because the volume buttons are damage.

Is there any other way of accessing bootloader or recovery?
[HTC Sensation] Nicx59:
To reboot bootloader, connect phone to PC

then using fastboot commands

''adb reboot-bootloader''

without the '''' marks of course

I'm not sure how to proceed from there though.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
after that if you want to enter to recovery type this

fastboot reboot recovery
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
If using remote commands doesn't work, you might want to try pressing the volume button's base, under the metal cover. the buttons are glossy and pressable, so unless the buttons themselves are damaged and not just the case, you can use this method.

Hi,

I'd like to buy the htc one, I just would need some informations:

- Does the phone have any lags during every day usage?

- Does it have any lags when opening many apps? Is there a video where I can see using the phone with many apps opened in it?

- What do you prefer between xperia z1 and htc one in terms of performance and everyday usage?

Thanks

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pihkal:
Hi,

my question consists out of two parts, firstly:

Which (Sony) apps make use of the DRM-partition / DRM-keys?

and secondly:

Will my Xperia tablet Z function as it should if I backup my DRM-partition, unlock the bootloader, install a custom kernel (on stock but rooted firmware) and restore my backed up DRM-partition, effectively re-locking the bootloader again?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GretaLewd:
Sorry I can't answer your specific questions, but here's my experience :

I made the mistake of unlocking the bootloader before backing up the TA partition and lost my DRM keys.

This prevented me downloading movies/music I purchased in Sony Entertainment Network using the stock Sony movie & music players.

(Fortunately I purchased the items with my free £20 credit that came with the tablet Z, and I can watch them on my Playstation. Also the SEN store is too expensive so I won't use it again anyway!)

I just use other services (Google Play Music, Amazon MP3, Google Movies), or rip my DVDs. All fine.

It has also been mentioned that the Bravia Engine will stop working. I did go back to a stock ROM at one point, and it let me select Bravia Engine in settings - but I don't know if it worked or not. Some people say it only makes the picture look false anyway.

I guess it may affect re-sale value, but most trade in sites I've used don't bother checking that level of detail. They just want the basics - device turns on, etc.

So, I've got mixed feelings. Kicking myself that I didn't read up more and back-up the DRM stuff before unlocking the bootloader...but not really missing out.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pihkal:
Thanks for your reply.

Bummer you lost lost your DRM keys.

I have the tendency to read a lot on the subject before I attempt it. :)

Judging by your post the only interesting thing that would stop working would be the Bravia-engine, I don't know how/if it enhances the image, I'll disable it and check the result once I get home from work.

I don't really care about SEN or any other Sony app, only the IR remote app and the sixaxis PS3 controller app I find useful, these need to work, and maybe also the Bravia-engine.

Any thoughts on the bootloader question?

Will the device boot if I install a custom kernel (Doomlord's for example) and re-lock the bootloader?

I can't see why it shouldn't boot but you never know...

Don't want to brick my brand new 500€ device...

Edit:

I should read some more before asking stupid questions:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agascon:
Hi guys!

I'm having problems with the proximity sensor of my Nexus 4, exactly is not switching off the screen during a call.

I got it recently and quickly flash all kind of kernels, apps, etc... but at this moment it's stock + Franco Kernel. Other apps which I'm using and I guess can cause: LightFlow, Greenify.

Some checks I have done...

- No screen protector is used (I saw can cause this problem...).

- Checking with a 3rd party app like AndroSensor, CPU-Z, ... which can provide sensor values, looks that h/w is working. Actually I can see the values are changing when I put my finger on the sensor (0-2, 0-5cm depending of the app).

My guessing is that maybe those 3rd party apps are taking the raw sensor values (thus working) and maybe android itself is using some kind of calibration which maybe is messed.

What do you think? Anybody with the same problem? Any solution?

Thanks,

Antonio

Don't know if anyones still interested, but i got a galaxy SII with broken mainboard and one SII Plus with broken display from friends. so i thought i'd give it a try.

after disassembling both i found that only one connector for the three buttons below the screen was changed - two extra pins. connecting all other connectors the screen was working. and after wiggling the buttonconnector the home button worked. so i cut off some plastic so the connector fits.

All the buttons work now, only the button backlighting isn't working.
