Need Help

Hi All,

Got this super fantastic phone last week. Instantly fell in love with this. Brilliant screen. Super fast phone. I need some Guidance /Support here.

1) I had disabled most of the applications which i do not use like Google+, Google magazines, lifesquare etc. But still i find the free ram fluctuating between 750 and 802 MB. Is this amount of free RAM optimal or still i can disable more applications? Is there any list of applications which can be safely disabled or uninstalled? Like the LG Bloatware

2) I previously used Optimus 4X. Comparitively Audio in G2 seems a bit low to me. Music sounded much clearer and louder in 4X. But in G2 though the loudness is enough for me, clarity seems not upto the mark when compared with 4x. I use only songs with 320 kbps bitrate and using the same headphones i used with 4x. Not the bundled ones but i compared both with two types of earphones i am having-- Philips SHE2675BW and Sony MDR-XB30EX. Among the both, Sony sounded worst with the bass completely eliminated and sounded like cheap headphones. Philips sounded good but the clarity factor is a bit less when compared with the 4x. Am I missing any setting here or the fault lies with the earphones? Both the earphones sounded good with the 4X. I did not try the bundled quadbeat ones still.

3) GPS is not locking on my position. While i am driving i never get a lock and if stationary rarely i am getting a lock. How to rectify this?

4) Can anybody suggest me a good hard back cover for the G2? Personally i do not like the flip covers or the S line silicon ones or the ones which make the phone bulky. I shortlisted three cases --

a) http://www.ebay.in/itm/Imak-Wings-C...?pt=IN_Mobile_Accessories&hash=item2a39bcdfd8

b)http://www.ebay.in/itm/LG-Optimus-G...N_Mobile_Accessories&var=&hash=item4d17eb280a

c) http://www.poeticcases.com/poetic-palette-case-for-lg-g2-is-great

The third one is listed in ebay india site for around 700 bucks a few days ago. Can't find it now :( It says for AT&T but does it fit for our D802?

Are the above listed cases genuine or fake?

Need your help for the above listed points guys.

Thanks.
[G2 General] pcoruganti:
The blue case looks good! Don't need to worry about RAM, I know LG software is a bit heavy but 2 GB is more than sufficient as people say free ram is wasted ram.
[G2 General] user28:
Thanks for your reply. Are the listed cases genuine? Sorry i do not know much about case brands. Can you shed some light on the GPS problem?
[G2 General] jiteshj:
Whom did you ask? LG official or social network?

hie dude, i used many covers for lg g2 ,now i m using diz http://www.snapdeal.com/product/dmg-premium-g2-hard-back/1874837543?pos=60;144

diz is awesome in my case bcoz its a way of premium look to my phone ,,and too it have many colors ,,try that,:o
[G2 General] mohitgalaxy3:
I am thinking to buy Nillkin fresh flip cover in black color, can anyone suggest how is it or else if it's not good can anyone suggest any other case within 1000 bucks.
[G2 General] user28:
Thank you. Will give it a look. Have you tried this:- http://www.ebay.in/itm/LG-Optimus-G...N_Mobile_Accessories&var=&hash=item4d17eb280a

If yes, how was the quality? Is it really worth 800 rupees?
[G2 General] mor_1228:
do someone use mobile tripod ?
[G2 General] user28:
Did any one test the GPS?

According to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2485088 the GPS problem is present in many variants. Unfortunately i too have the same problem (mine is D802 version). I did not find any solution for this. Tried GPS test also but no luck.

When i purchased this phone, i was proud and thought this phone is flawless... but found this annoying problem. Still it is unclear if it is a hardware problem or a software one.

What else can i do other than consoling myself saying "Nothing is perfect" ...
[G2 General] user28:
I read a review somewhere, that window flip cases look great but in a course of time, dust and pocket lint gets accumulated along side the window opening. So whenever you take your phone out of your pocket and open the flap, you will see dust or lint on the screen along the shape of the window.

The non window flip covers are a complete different story. Dust does not accumulate on the screen. I had seen cheap flip covers for the G2 for around 200 rupees.

But If you are a serious gamer type, flip covers are not recommended as it is very uncomfortable to hold while playing on the phone.

Hope this helps.
[G2 General] mohitgalaxy3:
Well tbh i play coc most of the time so I guess flip cover is not for me, what about spigen metal slate case is that good, or anyother case can u recommend.
[G2 General] user28:
I did not use the spigen case. It looks good and seems to offer good protections against bumps, but i think it makes the phone bulky. Cannot make a firm comment on it as it did not use it.

I used an imak transparent case for Sony Xperia ZL. I bought it in ebay. Look is nice and a very slim profile and quality is ok but not top notch and excellent. Other than imak i did not find any slim profile hard back cases in popular brands. For our G2 i found the following imak cases in ebay.

http://www.ebay.in/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=imak+lg+g2&_pppn=r1&scp=ce0&_rdc=1

But yet to decide on the transparent or the quicksand finish one.

Hello guys

Recently I am facing problem with my 3 months old LG G2.

Touch is not working, only at a small specific area which is at top - right corner.

This is area which displays battery symbol & % left in battery. Notification drawer is not coming down, while clicking to this area.

I have confirmed this problem by checking in TouchTest app.

I went to service center just to see what they will say, I was hoping to get a brand new phone.

They said ur screen protector is defective & I told them, it's original Amzer one. They are not ready to accept the fact that LG G2 can have any problem. And suddenly they remove the screen guard, still issue was there. I asked what about my screen guard you removed, he said u need to deposit the phone, guard won't make any difference, since they will repair this.

Any body else faces same problem?

Let me know please, also it can be repaired or new phone in return?

Thanks
[G2 General] jiteshj:
No problem here, hope you get a new phone
[G2 General] whosaysjohn:
they will not replace your phone...It will be repaired first..they will most probably change the screen or something...only if it occurs again can you try to ask for money back or replacement...that depends on how many strings you can pull within lg...
[G2 General] mor_1228:
they will only replace touch and i guess it will work fine then. but its sad to see getting ur mobile repaired.
[G2 General] mohitgalaxy3:
You wont get a new phone...why do u even think that, u will get your phone with a changed digitiser(display) and anyway u will lose ur screen guard.
[G2 General] shockerz1z:
Yea so i already done my research for this phone and it is the hardware because in the nexus 5 phones ppl still experience the GPS issue and the fix was that the small component was not touching to the receiver and so that is why ...I for one don't have it ,but looking to purchase a phone but not this phone .So my best bet to is that to go to the store and tell them the issue and see where it goes from there
[G2 General] mor_1228:
if not this phone then no other phone dude... this is killer

i am getting my courier delivery in next 12 hours then only i can tell about this gps issue but this mobile is killer for now :highfive:
[G2 General] smartjain:
There is really no GPS issue and I can confirm this. I have been using this phone for 3 months now. It only takes some time to lock in when you are inside home,bit when you are on the road, it locks in fast just as it should.

[G2 General] sanke1:
Finally!!!

Downloading the KDZ. But I have low hopes for audio bug fix.
[G2 General] mohitgalaxy3:
is there a way to flash .kdz without loosing warranty.
[G2 General] sanke1:
Yes see here

Actually I installed this and it now says

D80220a-ESA-XX
[G2 General] smartjain:
I am really not excited about kitkat anymore really, i need a stable rom.

I like the flex port from Cloudy which is stable, has no audio bug and gets the job done.
[G2 General] sanke1:
Yup I installed and the audio bug is still there.

So apparently LG's QA testing is worthless. They take 6 months to release a buggy update. lol
[G2 General] smartjain:
true, i am never going to buy LG again.
[G2 General] mohitgalaxy3:
Lol I just bought LG again from Nexus 4 to G2.
[G2 General] smartjain:
I also made a move from Nexus4 to LG G2, but now I do regret. LG sad updates and that to buggy ones make me feel depressed.
[G2 General] rastigo:
Guys try cloudypro rom. Stunning, stable 100% bug free with nice options, many of them. Dont regret buying g2.its a gr8 phone packed with unique features
[G2 General] jiteshj:
So did they change IND to ESA?
[G2 General] puttytatko:
Is this for the 16GB version or the 32GB??
[G2 General] djpeesh:
The kdz update is not for india

Hi all, LG HASNT released a kitkat update for India. The kdz link posted a few posts above is a Spain firmware. I just checked and the latest ROM for the A6IDBK/WH models (the India version) is 80210C.
[G2 General] :
The link posted previously was for LG G2 32GB BLACK INDIA.

And for 16GB 10C is the latest version. I am not sure if it's the Spain firmware as I have not updated my phone.

---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

Wait for the official OTA, should be coming soon...
[G2 General] mehulpatel:
I have also checked update with my IMEI. It shows 20A. I have 32 GB WHITE INDIA. Mostly will wait for 2 days for OTA, hoping will available.

[G2 General] princeviv:
finallyyyyy...

lg is doing a commendable job..its really fast for them to release kitkat..:p

what are the audio bugs u lot are talking about?
[G2 General] sanke1:
Listen to a relatively quiet music tune using good earbuds and you will hear hissing/crackling in left ear.

It goes away after doing some audio test in secret menu. But comes back with a bang upon rebooting the phone.
[G2 General] pcoruganti:
Battery life has been great! RAM, I feel has been not much change for this device as its heavy LG skinned. Overall LG runs faster than ever! World's best smart phone!
[G2 General] princeviv:
in indian version?

is it in the indian version too or only the foreign versions? European or whatever...:cowboy:

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

KitKat KDZ is listed here
[G2 General] ndnesh:
Even i got the notification to download via OTA! just a little bummed that its V20A instead of V20b, but who knows what the differences are. as long as its Kitkat, and bug free, i am happy.

If this is not good, i am going to go the custom ROM route and see if AOSP based ROMs are any good and then come back to a rooted kitkat rom.

EDIT: Well its not updating since it is detecting Root. Will have to figure out some other way to go about this :)
[G2 General] mor_1228:

currently using jellybean with TWRP with root..

what should i do to flash kitkat.

i got an OTA. but afraid to flash. can anybody help??
[G2 General] Rjshntrjn:
Via pc suite, I'm not getting OTA
[G2 General] djpeesh:
PC suite is very very slow for some reason. Even tried tethering to my 3g connection and nothing.

Yes. I stand corrected from a few posts before about LG not updating the g2 in India. Clearly the customer service executives are a bunch of morons.

My bad :(
[G2 General] jiteshj:
I told you so downloading had been slow for me even via OTA but its good that it can be paused. Took me 3.5 hours to download on 2mbps
[G2 General] mor_1228:
am facing this error it means my mobile is fake ?
[G2 General] djpeesh:
How can your mobile be fake? Probably the OTA server is overloaded so try again later. Don't worry. Kitkat is very overrated

Flashable D80220A, Indian Version

I am going to be creating a flashable zip of D80220A( Indian Version) which i am currently downloading. The KDZ is being downloaded as we speak.

I have the necessary files all downloaded, just waiting for the KDZ.

Once it is downloaded i will create a flashable zip , which we can use to flash 4.4.2 from custom recovery.

I will do this, test and report here.

This is more for those who have already rooted like me, and the OTA does not update the phone due to rooting suspicion.

Let me know if you guys are interested, i will upload it.

It will be stock, completely unmodded, with instructions to retain root for those who want root.
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
also your phone is 16GB, seems the update is still not out for 16gb

BTW guys got this new app, is it just an update or a new app.

Hissing noise after Kitkat Update

Hey guys,

Updated my 32Gb variant to kitkat 4.4.2 using the OTA update. When i connect the Headphones , i get a hissing noise(noise of static) from the headset . When there is any audio playing , the noise is very less , but still present. This is a very irritating problem. Anyone else facing this issue ??

Thanks,
