Verizon version

I got an offer in Ebay for LG G2 for 475 dollars.

The seller claims it to be D802 international version. But when I pinged him asking, if there are any carrier logos at back. He replied, it is verizon version but unlocked for worldwide use.

Will Verizon version have D802 as the model number ? Can it be used in india?
[G2 General] jiteshj:
Verizon version is VS980 and not D802

It is unlocked but don't know if that works in India

LG G2
[G2 General] toxicneo:
Checked wikipedia for bands for VS390. it is compatiable with india network. Can I go ahead and buy VS980? will I get OTA updates?
[G2 General] jiteshj:
Verizon provides update for VS980 and i dont think they would roll it outside US, why would they? IDK

LG G2
[G2 General] amit_sen:
Yes it works in India. Iam using it myself with Vodafone 3G in New Delhi :D

All latest highend phones from verizon are gsm unlocked.

You won't receive any ota updates. You can always flash to the latest firmware in the form of rom and not ota ;)

[G2 General] toxicneo:
thank you. I am getting the phone for 450 dollars. Can I go ahead and buy it?
[G2 General] amit_sen:
450 is a decent price for phone. Make sure you are buying from a reputed seller from eBay.

Can any one suggest me a best case thats available in india for around 1000 bucks.
[G2 General] whosaysjohn:
You can check eBay for nillkin frost case...but there are a lot of choices there
[G2 General] Shylesh:
DO you use it. In case, Pics n review please :)
[G2 General] .jRay.:
I use capdase silicon case worth 600 bucks. Got it from a local store. Also got a screenprotector with it. Its decent.
[G2 General] doctorxerxes:
Highly recommend the Nilkkin Frost case. It fits very snug and adds barely any width. But it doesn't offer solid protection , it's mainly for nicks and bumps. It has a pseudo-rubber matte finish and the back has slightly raised "goosebumps". It provides decent grip. It comes with a very good screen protector as well. All in all , good value for money.
[G2 General] .jRay.:
How much did you buy it for? Please post some pics.
[G2 General] Wannabe Loser:
Thanks y'all for your inputs fellas, but I decided to pull the trigger on a butterfly.

Just ordered it going pretty cheap on flipkart. The G2 was a bit too rich for my blood just now. But I'll be following this thread pretty closely for sure. Keep posting.

And thanks for all the help.

Sorry if the post is OT.

LG G2 32GB is listed at 36999 on amazon.in is that a good deal?

I am planning to buy it need your feedback on it, a bit skeptical buying it from Amazon, or should i visit the store and buy the 32gb at 40K
[G2 General] whosaysjohn:
Get it from Amazon... Is it amazon fulfilled or not? But anyways why spend 3-4k extra from a store...
[G2 General] smartjain:
It says Sold by GabbarDeals and Fulfilled by Amazon. Gift-wrap available.

So should go ahead and buy?
[G2 General] whosaysjohn:
Get it... Don't wait and see if I day delivery is available to your place...
[G2 General] getclikinagas:
I purchased my g2 16GB from amazon.in

Sold by gabbardeals, fulfilled by Amazon,cash on delivery.

I paid 32255 for 16GB.

Amazon's one day delivery is amazing. They are very polite and will call before hand to fix a delivery time at your convenience. The delivery guy was polite too. Ad it is Amazon fulfilled,the packing is done by then(which was excellent too) and more importantly,the returns will be handled by them.

If it is fulfilled by Amazon it is safe and reliable. Choose cash on delivery (generally safer for such a huge amount). The showroom price will always be higher (I believe they have some extra tax they need to pay)

Aside: This phone never ceases to amaze me day after day.

[G2 General] Shylesh:
Arguablly the best case out there. But too costly. We shall cut a deal for bulk purchase.
[G2 General] faiz02:
why is pricing at amazon so dodgy??

16gb costs higher that 32gb??

I mean is there a difference in both the phones or is it just the scheme offered by gabbar deals
[G2 General] smartjain:
seems to be a special offer from gabbar deals, I got mine delivered yesterday and the packing was very good.

I opted for cash on delivery.

spigen case on aliexpress

Hi,

Slim Armor - Wifi Charging (All versions) - Bluetooth Reciever

I've been reading on the other LG G2 threads and here is some info i thought might help (not allowed to post links yet):

Found this on another thread. Similar looking slim armor a whole lot cheaper. (I have not purchased)

Search for "Wholesale slim armor phone case for lg optimus lg g2" on alexpress.. lot of suppliers.. In case anyone pushases kindly keep us updated..

Also, in case you want to spend a little extra money and enable wireless charging, here's all u need (apart from a wireless charger). This device plugs into the G2's micro USB port. Since the backside does not open this will have to rest between the phone and case. Apparently works with slim armor too. Again I have not purchased.:

Search for "Aftermarket-Product-Wireless-Universal-Receiver amazon for lg g2"

Lastly,here's something else that's got me excited - a bluetooth reciever..

I've always wanted to be play music wirelessly say, as soon as i get home, at a house party (where every1 has their own playlist etc.).. and most bluetooth speakers are so small and still end up costing like 3500 minimum. So this little device can be plugged into the old speakers in your house and you can connect it to your phone, laptop etc via bluetooth and play music wirelessly without spending a bomb - only rs. 750. There are a few brand names like belkin if y'all want to shell like 2k upwards.. but i got this on rediff shopping (available on other shopping sites as well). Apparently if u buy offline from their stores (present in a few cities) u might get it a lot cheaper.. Purchased.. no complaints.. the thing works as said.. not too fancy looking..

Search for "advik-bluetooth-audio-receiver-dongle"

Hope this helps. In case anyone else knows of any other cool device/accessory please post. If anyone has any leads on a good/cheap bluetooth earphones (with mic) please share. Also any info on how to get the SG Ballistic case cheap would be great.

Cheers!!

George Matt

As always, LG G2 rocks.. the complete device if there ever was any..

P.S. - For Knock On issues.. someone posted that tapping exactly above the LG logo increases the success rate big time.. seems to work as said.. or else even three knocks.. 1 to wake up and 2 for knock on..
[G2 General] whosaysjohn:

Lost my mobile

Unfortunately I lost my G2 at Mumbai. Auto driver took the phone and ran away. I called my phone in 3-4 minutes but it was switched off. Surprised to see that Auto driver also could understand how to switch off my phone (many people initially spend some time on searching for the power button).

I was not using any tracker app. Now complained to police and police has put the device on IMEI tracking.

Is there any other way to check last location or current location of phone?
[G2 General] .jRay.:
Sorry to hear that. Lock the device using Google device manager.
[G2 General] ndnesh:
That's sad to hear bro. I o if you have not installed any tracker apps then it may be difficult to recover your phone. Did it have a pin lock or at least a pattern lock? Did you install Google Android device manager?

If as you say, you have not installed any kind of a tracker app, then the only option is to make sure that the police take your FIR and you get the IMEI blocked so that the phone cannot be used. Let us know how it goes.
[G2 General] Shylesh:
The ali express thing is a china make. Not original.

Can you share the steps to root G2. And, how did you manage to get OTA, when rooted?

What about the phone status, does it says "rooted" after you un-root it?
[G2 General] whosaysjohn:
I didnt check that...i am rooted again...will check next time i go back stock...
[G2 General] r4Rok:
Can you share the steps to root and un-root LG G2 (D802). And, once un-rooted with stock ROM, can we get the OTA updates from LG??
[G2 General] whosaysjohn:
There a thread in the general forum... Follow the steps mentioned there... You will be able to get the updates... I got an update when reverted to stock 10b...
[G2 General] smartjain:
dont buy this case, it's bad quality and back cover just does not fits.
[G2 General] Shylesh:
Did u mail ebay support??
[G2 General] abhinavsg:
I've sent you a pm related to rooting process. Check it. I got the Ota update installed before rooting

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

Strange you say that. I got the case from Amazon US. Using it since a month or so. The fit is great, so is the protection. I dropped the phone while trying to put it in my shirt's pocket, nothing happened. Nothing on the case, nothing on the phone. Thanks to the case. May be the seller selling it on eBay is selling some duplicate stuff. If its an original Spigen case, you get an authenticity check code which can be used on Spigen site to verify authentic Spigen stuff. I've already authenticated my case on the website
[G2 General] smartjain:
Yes, I have just had a claim setup and hope to get my money back.

The actual problem is that TPU fits fine (rubber), the plastic which goes back on the TPU just does not fit. It also has some scratches.

I really feel that it was used or damaged. Also the plastic package in which the case was present was completely smashed and broken.
[G2 General] whosaysjohn:
It happens when it ships from China post to India, the plastic package getting cracked as it is just tossed around in the postal service...happened to me too...this must have been an early build or not made for d802 and the seller did not check properly before sending...
[G2 General] smartjain:
yes now let's see how the ebay guarantee works or my 1700rs would be wasted :(
[G2 General] abhinavsg:
As you said, there was definitely some foul play involved. Order the case on Amazon India or better, order it on Amazon USA and get your order shipped to India via some website like shopandahip(dot)com. I did just that. The Tpu fits perfectly. The hard plastic bit fits perfectly on Tpu. As I said, I love the case

I bought 32gb white a week ago for 37k from a local retailer.

I am having screen flickering problem have searched everywhere der is no solution.

I am getting 6hrs of on screen time while surfing internet on 3g with brightness at 35%.

While playing game i get only 3hrs .

It is very fast phone indeed with no redraws or lags or force closes.

If someone is having the solution screen flickering then do share.
[G2 General] whosaysjohn:
You might want to get the phone replaced for the screen flickering issue...
[G2 General] ndnesh:
The screen flickering may be due to the content adaptive back lighting which is a feature on this phone. I remember reading a thread about it.

[G2 General] sandeeppandey:
Well this has been the history with lg. Good phones bad support...

From optimus one, optimus 2x, optimus 4x and now G2 I have seen that LG sucks when it comes to updating their devices. S3 got 4.3 and will also get kitkat but my 4x stays at 4.1 and that too a very unstable one. Now my g2 is stuck at 4.2 whereas my bro got his note 3 updated to

Kitkat today. God knows when LG will understand that only good hardware isn't enough to succeed. Software support matters a lot.
[G2 General] sanke1:
LG's stock ROM is more complicated as the features are actually more useful. Samsh*t's ROM is pure bloat with useless features which 99% of them I never used.

LG had an edge since they made Nexus 5 which is based on Kitkat. So they should pull off no excuse to give us Kitkat for our G2 later than March.

I would rather have a completely stable version of Kitkat after 2 months rather than getting a hurridly unfinished battery draining version today. Let them take their own time to polish off the rough edges.

:good:
[G2 General] smartjain:
agreed, stability is the key for me too. I would be happy when Kitkat comes but it needs to be stable.
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
Kit Kat is just a minor update anyway, i find nothing missing in 4.2.2 Stock ROM, it is amazing. So ya let LG take it's time, Korea already got it, matter of sometime and we will get it too.

LG G2 Exchange Offer

Hi,

The exchange offer was on earlier as well. Except that the LG store I visited was offering to add an additional Rs 3000/- discount bringing the price for a 32 GB G2 to Rs. 36,500/-. Now LG itself has reduced the price to Rs 37,500. Don't know if the outlet will still offer the additional discount.

In case anyone is interested, I'm attaching the list of phones covered in the exchange program. If anyone is able to get any other phone exchanged for the discount please let me know.

CM is becoming stable for everyday use. once Official Kitkat is released, it is expected to become even better. If you care about Audio, i believe g2 has better audio quality. With headphones it does get quite loud, however do note that loudness is subjective.
