Quick thoughts on kitkat. Facing a couple of issues with battery draining, a gapps issue at startup and above all the audio bug. Going back to 4.2.2
[G2 General] mor_1228:
How will you go back? Can u post that thread link here which contains all information.

Yes sure I am also looking to go back to 4.2.2, if you can do a small writeup of what steps you have taken that'll be fantastic.

Yes there are many but orange tele are offering best deal and they're also listed on lg site.

I too went in the evening to nehru place and they quoted me price of 42k and weren't going down.

Good news. I think we three should go tomorrow and purchase it from orange only. pm suitable time if your comfortable :good:

Poetic cases are now available on ebay. Gadgetshieldz also has protection guards for G2. Some accessories have started to show up.

Mine is already on the way, i ordered spigen slim armor case from amazon...although ive had bad experiance with shipping from usa.
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
that looks nice, though i like to keep my phones naked :P
[G2 General] abhinavsg:
One of my friend's pre-ordered the G2 from FLIPKART for 33363/- (16gb version). There was some special price for a day. The payment had to be pre-paid. After 7 days, flipkart cancelled the order.

Bottom line is, it's a deal only if the product is available. Anyone can offer a supposedly great price when they do not have the product in stock. It's only after completion that a deal is a bargain or a rip-off
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
Very True, i cancelled my order as a friend told me he will get it for 39k for me with flip cover.

Still waiting for 32 GB stock to arrive, stocks seems to be very limited for 32 gigs.

here Bharti Mobiles Bangalore (Bannerghatta ROAD) : 32GB for 33500 with Flip Cover.

Phone Number : 9538610198. They have the Live unit as well..

If anyone gonna buy, please PM me too! I will come down and have a look at it! :))
[G2 General] abhinavsg:
Hey Buddy,

How did you get your product shipped, did you use some external agency like comgateway etc or did you get the product shipped to your address directly?
[G2 General] abhinavsg:
Again, this is a gimmick. I called up the shop just now. The gentleman quoted INR 33500. I asked him how come are they selling it for so less. Then the gentleman said, that it was his mistake. The price is INR 43500. Have a look at the screenshot

Friends, the fact of the matter is, if some dealer is not buying the phone in bulk, they wont be able to give a price much less than the market price
[G2 General] Jishnu Sur™:
I got a heart attack after listening to their prices! I called them up twice for confirming the same.. what an IDIOT ?! LOL ..

sorry for that again..
[G2 General] rkaria1970:
Indiatimes shopping price comes to 37k 32gb after you apply the coupon, but it's a horrible online store, the net is full of horror stories about them, anybody has any experience with them? I visited croma store here in Mumbai, they have 16gb version for 40k. I called up many LG dealers but mostly had 16gig, one dealer did quoted me 41.5k for 32GB with the flip cover. Any good deals in Mumbai or online?
[G2 General] adikath:
did u buy it yet or not pranas messaged me i think we can get it for 38 to 37.5 k i think if we three buy
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
got 32 gb for 38.8k shipped with flip cover thanks to a friend, he got it and shipped today. Only downside, i wanted white color, but that will take another week.
[G2 General] abhinavsg:
that's a great bargain. where did you buy it from?
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
LG shop in Delhi, it was finally settled for 40k. He used his SBI card for 1500 cash back. 300 rupees shipping cost to Bangalore :)

In Bangalore i could not get it any where less then 43k
[G2 General] abhinavsg:
Beautiful. Just a reconfirmation, it's like this, 40000 - 1500 + 300 = 38800/-
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
Yes mate

So anyone in delhi can get it for 38500 if they have SBI card, i can probably get the shop address from him.
[G2 General] El Che:
No direct from amazon. Apparantly few sellers/items can be shipped directly to India. You can see it in shipping details of every item. Spigen charge $12 as shipping cost. Even iloome ship directly from amazon...i have put tempered glass screen protector also on pre-order but thinking of canceling it and getting a refund because reviews are not good about it.

[G2 General] SandyKick:
people who rooted their 4.2.2 G2 and wants to update to official KitKat this may help you guys. (bcoz i faced a big problem)

1. Download the indian 32gb 10c KDZ here

2. Download R&D FlashTool & Other Files here

3. Download Drivers here

windows 8 & windows 8.1 have many permission issues, so please follow carefully.

unzip

- LGMOBILEAX

- LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix

install B2CAppSetup.exe in LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix\KDZ_FW_UPD_EN

go to C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX remove all files and folder

copy all files and folders from LGMOBILEAX that you unzip from step2 to C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX

First you need to edit hosts file located in C:windows/system32/drivers/etc/

Watch this video how to edit hosts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1N6c3p4IVY

Add 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com at the end of the notepad and save hosts file.

Start http in the shttps folder and allow access and hold for 10 seconds.

Start UpTestEX_mod2_marwin

Once the Flash Tool is Open, Change the Select Type to 3GQCT and change the Phone mode to DIAG.

Click the Select kdz Option file and select the .KDz extention file from the downloaded Firmware folder.

Click Normal Web Upgrade Test.

Now you will see a pop-up window, showing you the Phone Information.

Click Upgrade Start Button.

After a Few Seconds, there will be another pop-up asking you the Language and Country.

As Country, Select Republic Of Korea and Language English

Finally Click OK to proceed the installation & Finally you are Done :)

Guys this entire process is already listed in General OP but there are some changes at 2-3 steps in between which gives you some error.

1. Sometimes it asks for R&D Test Tool Update

2. Sometimes clicking on Upgrade Start Button it takes you to LG Support tool online instead of Language and Country.

Follow these steps and you will surely Flash the Jelly Bean File, Once you are Flashed Download KItKat from OTA & Reset once :)

I am getting this stupid error again and again.
[G2 General] ndnesh:
My G2 is a 32GB one. With stock KITKAT it I had 24gb free after update. I did a factory reset to have a fresh start.

Immediately noticeable differences are the speed. The whole interface is faster.

The apps launch faster. Camera launches and takes photos much much much faster than jellybean.

Immersive mode is present. Those apps that support it make the navigation bar and the status bars disappear.

Also in the drippler app, the Immersive mode is awesome.

Even SwiftKey keyboard seems faster and more accurate for some strange reason.

I have been listening to music for the past two hours now and haven't heard any hiss.

Knock on is more amazing now. The videos that LG UK showed don't really do it justice. You have to experience it to believe it.

Let me know what else you all want to know!

I will be uploading the flashable zip to mega today.

No. You have to. Just plug in in software mode and then click check for upgrades. Not worth it if you ask me, the kitkat update.

Jelly bean is bug free and has way better battery life. The changes aren't really that profound. I've come back to jelly bean, rooted, and now I'm running that.

Don't bother with kitkat. Still too many bugs.

you can't apply custom wallpaper, it is either the default 4 that come with phone or transparent

Assuming you're on 4.2.2 with ROOT AND custom recovery (download a custom recovery via freegee in the play store after rooting your device)

here is a mega link: https://mega.co.nz/#!L1oTGLJL!jRKZBqGPe3WpY0iMll2v1fGLoDV8K4tLkAHkukfGPKU

Download this: http://savoca.co/galbi/KK_d802.zip

Put these files into the internal storage folder of your phone

And

Reboot to recovery

1. Install the rom above. Then after installing reboot to recovery and

Install the savoca file and the superuser file

Hey guys. I am downloading the update now. Is it mandatory to do a factory reset after installing the new update or will it be ok to just continue using the phone with the new update ?
[G2 General] ndnesh:
That would work too.. i am not doing that yet because i wanted to test 4.4.2 with root, and for the first ROM out, LG has done a great job. I do want custom recovery, and will wait until 20b, 20c etc start coming out with knock code, bug fixes etc, and then i will create another flashable zip which will preserve custom recovery on kitkat.

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

It is not mandatory... it is recommended though, as a fresh base is nicer/faster/ cleaner( perception) than just updating.

Of course, if you are downloading the flashable zip that i posted, it is recommended that you do a factory reset. I tried to install it directly first, and kept getting many Force Closes.

Any body knows how to restore the Real racing game after a factory reset? Any way i take back up of any of the game folders and then copy to the same location after reset? I really love the game and do not want to keep on downloading it again after every os update and reset the phone.

Yes the phone can be used without factory reset after an os update but i firmly believe that a factory reset after an os update will solve most of the silly problems and crashes. My opinion is to always start fresh after an os update.

By game data you mean to say the player statistics? (like how many races won etc.) So if i cloud save the data and then reset my phone, i still have to download the 1 GB of game from internet? Am i right? The cloud saved data is just the player statistics. My actual question is to how to backup this 1 GB of downloaded data and what to back up. I really do not want to download again 1 GB after phone reset. Player statistics is secondary to me.

LTE

Isn't the existing version LTE capable. There were media reports of LG officials confirming this during G2 launch last year. They said the G2 has LTE hardware support for India, all they need to do is to enable it by a software upgrade. And it was possible to enable it using the hidden menu. I haven't upgraded to KK yet, but isn't LTE option enabled with this upgrade. If not, you can enable is from the hidden menu.
