But i read somewhere that baseband cannot be downgraded to 4.2.2 and it will be same as for 4.4.2 even after we flash 4.2.2. will this create issue while claiming warranty?
[G2 General] mor_1228:
who said that ?

when u flash kdz baseband also gets restored
[G2 General] gbhanurishi:
______________________________________________________________________________

Thanks a lot for responding...one last question...after downgrading to JB using KDZ method, will i be able to upgrade to new versions released by LG thru OTA? (say 4.4.3 ),
[G2 General] mor_1228:
yes you can but never take ota with custom recovery otherwise u will brick ur device.
[G2 General] gbhanurishi:
Yeah sure, thank u,,,,rom flashed with KDZ method will be unrooted one only na? hope it will be just like the G2 out of box??
[G2 General] mor_1228:
yes after flashing do a factory reset but make backup of internal memory like apps, images ,music etc
[G2 General] gbhanurishi:
Hi Mor, i searched almost every page of the "back to stock" thread, i am not able to find indian versiion 4.2.2 kdz file in the thread, it has only 4.4.2 firmware. Pls help in providing same, i frankly spent lot of time searching for it

What scratchguard do y'all use? Mine keeps having air bubbles coz of the cover. Any workaround? I tried cutting some parts of sg but sometimes still pops up.
[G2 General] rastigo:
Use nilkin tempered glass scratch guard... Too good
[G2 General] createben:
Did that combination worked for u?
[G2 General] mor_1228:
nope its not working at all tried everything

only factory reset from hidden menu is working fine
[G2 General] createben:
1. Hold vol down and power until the lg logo

2. release all buttons

3. suddenly hold just volume up + volume down.

i reset my 20B on today using this combination.can u try this one too? i think timing is the problem..........
[G2 General] fundoozzz:
Hello Everyone, it's Saurabh this side aka fundoozzz... My previous devices have been Lg Optimus one, Sony Xperia S. Yesterday I ordered a 32GB G2 from ebay, model no. is D802. It comes with seller warranty and i grabbed it around for 27500

Here is the link

I will be updating to Kitkat and will root it with ioroot and install a custom recovery and perform a nandroid backup..

Is there anything else that i need to know?

Thanks
[G2 General] .jRay.:

Has anyone tried using a nano sim with an adapter with the G2? Is it safe, or will it get stuck.

And recommendations for adapters please?

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

Is your phone a normal D802, or a D802T?

Also, please recommend the adapter which you used.
[G2 General] SandyKick:
Help please

hi guys, i need LG Stock mixer_paths.xml file very urgently :((( can any one please help me ?

you can find under System/etc/mixer_paths.xml
[G2 General] sanke1:
It's a normal D802 purchased back in November.

I use default LG's power adapter and cable which came with my phone. I use "current widget" app widget which monitors charging current which is 1.6A. But you can use any any 2A charger from reputed brands like Sony or Samsung and you will get 1.6A while charging.

If by adapter you mean sim adapter, I have tried nano sim in my G2. Just purchased from local paanwala for Rs. 100 and the nano sim worked flawlessly. I had to trim insides of the nano sim adapter using sanding surface of nail cutter. (Don't trim the nano sim, always trim the adapter.)
[G2 General] mor_1228:
4.4.2 ?
[G2 General] .jRay.:
Thanks. But i have a cover

This cover to be precise

http://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B00FEITAZ4

And it causes air bubbles on any scratchguard i put on the screen. I tried cutting once but still has some bubbles.
[G2 General] bharat4ever:

[G2 General] bharat4ever:
I got a 4g Sim activated and am trying it. Can you please share your apn settings?
[G2 General] sanke1:
Which operator's 4G are you using? If it is Airtel then our D802 does not support it's 2300 Mhz TD LTE frequency. You need D802T which supports TD LTE. That is a different phone hardware and LG recently started selling it for Rs. 5000 extra over normal D802.

I used 4G in Singapore which has 1800/2600 Mhz frequencies.

To be honest, 4G in India is a waste of time. Airtel restricts 4G speeds to 10 Mbps. I get more than that on Vodafone 3G in Mumbai.
[G2 General] bharat4ever:
Mine is a Brazilian D805. Looks like it also doesn't support india's band.

[G2 General] Hrithan2020:
Thanks for the link. Have ordered it? As asked before, kindly let us know how much time it took to arrive.

Also, did you apply it by yourself? Is it possible to reapply it , if the first time there is some problem with application? (wet application or dry?)

Else, I'll have to give it to some shop for application who have experience in applying screen protectors, but even then I've notices problems with minor bubbles. (probably bcoz of poor screen protectors , i'm not sure)

Hi! is it good idea to buy an imported Sprint G2 LS980 for 25K?

[G2 General] rastigo:
Check the battery performance on stk kk 20b
[G2 General] avithe1:
Yes Indeed the battery performance is very good.

Last week , I spilled tea on my G2. I immediately wiped as much as I could. Did not switch off the phone :(

The phone worked fine , speakers were kaput, but then started to get heated up and drain battery. I switched it off. Let it dry off for 2 nights.

When I finally switched it ON, it did not. Nor was it taking charging.

With a heavy heart took my 2 month new phone to Service Centre, told them about the liquid spill. To my surprise they said all will be covered under warranty.

I went the next day and my phone was as good as new , the entire display was changed . I can tell as it was with those side stickers when the phone was new.

Checked everything , all is working fine, even the speakers. Did not have to pay a single paisa.

Now one very interesting thing , as soon as I handed over the phone to the technician for the first time , he just opened the back case with his finger nail.

It was soooo easy , I would have done that if I knew it when the chai spilled on it.

Am a happy man now :)
[G2 General] RohanM:

i have used it since long time but has stopped since i bought lg g2. i feel it slows overall ui so i use titanium backup freeze option as it is better than greenify and moreover apps tends to run loose even if u greenify them due to some other apps triggering them to run. so freeze is the best method. i made widgets to quickly freeze and defrost and run at the same time :

[G2 General] rastigo:
See what i mean [MENTION=3015498]mor_1228[/MENTION].I am not being competitive but it does prove a point. Reason being that with the 20b update blue tooth doesnt drain battery in background. So also unnecessary wake locks eliminated and lg did optimize use of the 3000mah. Am loving it. Coupled with the possibility of lovely mods for kk which make the g2 a small beast of a phone. Check my ui... Terrific moddability of kk. That is stock g2 rom without using any xposed module

There you go mor_1228
[G2 General] mor_1228:
cool i have to run certain tests now.

1. do u empty ur battery below 10 %?

2. after full charging to 100% u immediately take it down or leave it for sometime ?

3. always wifi on or 2g network ?

ME :

1. i start charging around 40%

2. immediately turn off charger as soon as it shows 100% with notification

3. always on wifi if not then on 3g/2g auto
[G2 General] rastigo:
I recharge at 10-15%.Am on 2g the entire day. Wifi about 5 hrs at night. Brightness 100 pc at day and auto in night. Haptic and sound enable. Gps used infrquently. I dont take the phone off the charger immediately. I wait for 15 min after fully charged. Listen to lot of music
[G2 General] mor_1228:
so nothing special here i guess i have to search for wakelocks and battery eating apps.
[G2 General] jeckyhauhnar:
Try this...keep charging until the lightning/charging logo is gone after it shows 100%. U will see lots of difference in the stamina of the battery....

Sent from my LG-D802
[G2 General] mor_1228:
but i guess this way we will kill our battery early then the normal life cycle of a battery.

as soon as it reached 100 phone stops charging i saw this in hidden menu >> charging test.

you will see that it will not charge anymore once it reached 100% even when connected with charger

see below
[G2 General] jeckyhauhnar:
Your choice....just try it and see for yourself...if you dnt like it u can go back to your ways....

[G2 General] .jRay.:
I too notice the difference when i keep it for another 15 minutes on charger after 100%. Give it a shot. It has something to do with li-po technology, didn't work on my old phone with li-ion battery.
[G2 General] mor_1228:
that i know it works i had already tried this when i bought this device we get some extra juice from battery but i read somewhere that this type of charging kills battery life.
[G2 General] rastigo:
That problem exist with the lithium polymer battery. If you do not disconnect after full reached, the battery life will ditiorate
[G2 General] RohanM:
just by teaching 100% does not charge the battery to 100%... there is a thing called trickle charge.... means u have to keep ph on charging beyond 100% for some time ...
[G2 General] mor_1228:
i guess i found what was draining my battery. i

t was wifi today after full charge i kept it whole time on 2g and now i i have 85% battery with 1hour 30 min on screen time.

normal usage like earlier.

ya i know i was saying but it decreases battery life

Kitkat on LG G2 is not as good as it with JB. After upgrading to KK, i noticed below issues.

a) Hissing noise in music (with and without earphones).

b) Knock on was not as gud as it was JB.

However KK battery was as good as JB and performance was smooth and faster than JB. There were no force closing of apps too. charging took same time as it used to in JB...once u update to KK, u need to update all apps through update center (app on LG G2)...My G2 is not rooted since purchase

Hissing noise was something really bothered me and made me go back to JB (took to LG service center) and they flashed JB for free and it took some 30mins...

PS: LG G2 is awesome phone, and u will get fixes to above issues, so go and get it, u will never regret for itt :)

I'm planning to buy lg g2 but that screen damage while rebooting scared me

Did any indian g2(D802) user got that issue?

Or I buy sprint g2 which costs less but not has any warrenty
[G2 General] OrrPenn18:
You should sure buy it. The Screen damage only happens when you flash AOSP ROMs which have older bootstack version or Recovery Mode which has no thermal control code.

As far as you're sticking to Stock ROMs and some 'safe' AOSP ROMs, you're good to go. The device is a delight! Just perfect.

The D802 has more choices to mod rather than Sprint version. Choice is yours though. :)
[G2 General] montuk:
Thanks

I can stick with stock rom as battery is my only concern (thats where nexus 5 lost the battle)

Also is there any flickering issues exists as shown in many youtube videos?

The battery is just outstanding. No mate, no flickering issue on D802 atleast that I've heard of. :)

Hey everyone!

I was planning to buy a new phone(under Rs.30,000), but i am stuck between lg g2 and xperia z1:confused:

xperia z1 is available on ebay for around 29.5k....but i can't find lg g2 cheaper than 30k anywhere.:(

Can someone please help me...i really like how lg g2 is.

And its gonna be a huge upgrade as i am a galaxy y user:cool:

What should i do???
[G2 General] ndnesh:
Buy the z1 or look for deals on olx for a used g2. Make sure you honor your budget and don't exceed it just for a phone.

Or wait for the G3 to release which may cause a price drop for the G2
[G2 General] Guddu:
So you mean to say that the z1 is a better device than g2!:eek:
[G2 General] JEEVADON92:
No g2 is better in terms of battery and camera z1 is better in terms of build quality only
[G2 General] nayak.aj:
If its not urgent, wait for a little more time for the price to drop, the G3 will arrive in india soon. the G2 is an awesome device compared to the Z1. When they came out, my top 2 choices were the G2 and the Z1 and i m happy i chose the G2 ( used the Z1 for a few weeks).

Its been around 8 months since i had the G2, plan to use it for the next 2 to 3 years and it would still be somewhere in the top 10 phones around , thanks to the devs we have here like Cloudyfa and Dorimanx and Optimus( and many others).

I highly recommend the G2.... but then again, you are in a G2 form we are all fan boys here , choose wisely
[G2 General] ndnesh:
I never said the z1 is better. I didn't like it at all. I was just stating that you have a budget and one of the reasons you have mentioned it here is to let us know that you have a limit. And currently the z1 fits into that limit.

You have to decide if you wish to exceed the limit for the g2. I did. And I am very glad I did.

Best option would be to wait a little longer.. 20 to 25 days should see the Indian release of the g3.
[G2 General] ryshah:
You can easily get the G2 LS980 Sprint version for around 27-28K. If warranty is not an issue, get it.

I can help you get one if you need ! It's a fab phone for that price, and with the G3 rom on it, makes a perfect combo!
