[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DustinKimble:
So, I've got the note 3 preordered since the 13 of last month. Its always said that it'll ship on the 1st, and for the past 2 weeks I've heard that it will go on sale on the 4th, which lines up with shipping from wherever the hub will probably be where they ship these things out from. The demo was probably shipped out ahead of the rest as display items, and so store employees would have a chance to use the device and learn the features. A couple of thoughts. You people that want the phone asap, preorder. I will agree Samsung's launches have been butchered again and again, but they are slowly getting better. AT&T should have been 100% clear about preorder ship dates, in store launch dates and the whole thing been clearer, but for reasons beyond our knowledge, they couldn't get it together. I've waited for 5 months reading rumors, watching as leaks came out and I'm as excited as the next man to get my hands on this phone, but its not as if AT&T is dangling it over my head teasing me with it, I'll get is as soon as they can get it to me, another week is not going to hurt me. In box headphones? Really? I can honestly say any headset I've gotten included is box with the phone unless it had a very specific connector, or function went quickly in the trash, because that's what they are 99.9% of the time.... Trash. Get yourself some decent monitors (even most of you cheapskates can afford the Etymotic lower end, and they are excellent), you won't be disappointed (although your wallet will be significantly lighter) but that's why you should buy quality, take care of your belongings, and enjoy it. I imagine most of you people complaining they don't have headphones in the box will complain that they sound like poo with your pirated low bitrate mp3s. I can't wait to hear this phone play some of my flac recorded paid for music with my etymotic hf5s.

Now, for my complaints. Accessories made by their parties have and excuse not to be out on day one of the release, on the other hand, the s view cover should be available when I get my note, now for the first week, I'll have to be super careful with my phone, its not that it'll be hard, but I won't be able to take advantage of the s view cover, the extra battery and charger, and the wireless charger when I'd like, but as stated above, I'll just have to wait and get it when its made available. That's honestly my only complaint. That and India got the phone before the us. Oh well....

Hello, I don't know why every time when I reboot my phone, it says that my external sd card is damaged and it asks me that if I want to reformat it. However, after reformatting and rebooted, it keep saying that it is damaged. I tried to format it on my computer using Disk Management. But nothing changed. I am using FAT32 on a 32GB microSD card. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] xsenman:
SD cards can get damaged but some (cheap) cards do have this problem, only option is to change for a better one, read this for more info on the other hand some phones may not accept larger capacity SD cards. (32 or 64 GB) (meaning some can only use up to 16GB or less)

Is there any way that I can connect to a wifi network without disabling the data network ? And is it normal for this phones to be really hot when 4G is on ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theesotericone:
No and no. The OS will use wifi over cellular data. If you just want to use cell data turn off wifi. Your phone shouldn't be "hot" when using LTE. Try getting a CPU temp app from market and report back how "hot" it is.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobiousblack:
Ok so I am about to pull the trigger on a G2 and the only thing holding me back was 16GB with SD card, I want a 32GB variant SD card or no SD card because I prefer onboard storage. Anyways this is not a debate about that, I found this.

http://www.expansys.in/lg-g2-unlocked-32gb-black-252530/

Its basically a 32GB LG G2, the model states D802. Does that mean this also has an SD card slot and removable batter? I ask because I am also looking at the quick window case and would like the one that replaces the back over the one that snaps on.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoLeftHere:
That's just the model number for each version they have.

ATT - D800

T-Mo - D801

Sprint - LS980

VZW - VS980

International - D802 (I believe)

The quick window cases for the US Spec G2's just clip on to the device and doesn't replace the rear housing.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobiousblack:
Thats my understanding as well, the D802 is international, does that mean its the one with the SD card slot and the removable back? I know ones in the US don't have those features.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrgilbert79:
The sd card performance is based on what your willing to pay...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amokkx:
The international Version just isnt branded. You will only habe a SD card alot and removable battery with the asian(korean?) Version.

All other G2 dont have it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobiousblack:

Bought a class 10 64gb card for my s4 and loading photos into galler was slow and horrid.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hendrickson:
If you willing to pay for it the F320 LG G2 Korean one is the best version to have. Replaceable battery and sd card support.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobiousblack:
I honestly don't need those two. It would have been nice to have the replaceable battery for flip cover so I could replace the back but in fine with having the snap on version.

Had the s4 and ran the gpe 4.3. Trust me.. I won't go back after using this phone. As someone said, Google's Android isn't as good as a feature rich device that gives you similar performance.

As for the phone itself, every screen, battery, performance, camera... The G2 blows the s4 away
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
I have recently owned the HTC One, S4, and S4 Active and the G2 is night and day difference! Now I will clarify that I haven't received my unit yet but I set them up for people at my work and didn't put it down all day Friday. If you haven't played with one yet go and try it out... you wont regret it. The S4 is a joke compared... I can say the same about all 3 of the above phones. I hope to get my unit this week...

It is a perfect blend of features for me. The HTC One had an amazing screen but it was a tad to small and the battery life was horrible. The S4 had a nice form factor but the AMOLED was horrible IMO, and the S4 active was nice with the LCD instead of the AMOLED but the G2 has the looks, screen, battery, features, loki-able, camera, speed.... i could go all day
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrgilbert79:
Before you rebuttal with some garbage about aluminum remember that you would use a case because a scratch is imminent and complain about the weight.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imucarmen:
I'm coming from an s4. This phone is a huge upgrade over the s4 imo. It runs smoother, has a much better screen which can actually be viewed outside, has photosphere, has OIS, runs smoother, better battery, and imo a better sock Rom experience in general, and knock on and off is awesome (yes I'm aware of apps and using gestures but I find LG's built in knock on works better)

It's a joke the s4 is the same price and even if the s4 were cheaper I would still get the g2.

I like my g2 so much more that before I got the g2 I said to myself that if tethering didn't work I would keep the s4 because I need tethering but after buying my g2 and using for an hour I knew there was no way I could go back to the s4. I sold it a couple hours later.

This is by far the best smartphone I've ever owned.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidiac13:
Only downside I see that may arise is lack of development. It'll come, but it will take a while compared to the S4.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
I came from two S4's. One on Verizon and then one on AT&T when I switched carriers. I didn't like the One, so the S4 was the best choice for me at the time. I hate AOSP, so the Nexus 4 wasn't an option for me.

Anyhow, this phone blows the S4 completely out of the water and then it gets a hold of it again, throws it back into the water and blows it out of the water again. It's that much better imo.

Don't even consider the S4. Trust me. This phone is where it's at right now.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznmode:
I'm stuck between the two. I'm running rooted s4 with bioshock kernel and it's pretty smooth but G2 is still smoother and much faster. HD games run butter smooth. Screen is unbelievable. But I do not like the camera in really low light where I have to turn on flash. The pictures are dim. When I try panoramic I have pan slower than the s4 or parts of it gets blurry. I use my phone a lot to take pics so that part is the most important to me. Also no sd card so my 64gb card that's almost full is useless.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amorek13:
i had well still have s4, but after seeing this one, for some reason it felt more user friendly, more pleasent, screen is amazing, battery life to die for, 2hr screen time i was still at 60% plus, every where you look you see samsung, i was affraid i would miss wireless charging but so far so good
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerwagon:
Traded s4 just yesterday for the g2...no comparison really. The s4 is not a bad phone, but stock to stock, the g2 is just so much smoother and the screen is a nice upgrade. Can't go wrong with either, but if you are debating between the two, I would definitely go g2...there really is no downside.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hendrickson:
I had a S4 with octalag cores, it was slow and touchwiz bloat and slowed up everything. Yet benchmarks were fast? Ok camera, shakey video then the screen broke in my pocket from the heat difference.

LG G2 is waaaay better in my eyes.

No SD card issue for me with my G2 F320L, I can still keep on using my Extreme sandisk 64GB :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoostedSR20:
I had the I9500 since launch, and the G2 is better in every single aspect. The only thing I can see worth arguing over is the screen. (LCD vs amoled) I'm happy with either, and the G2 screen is phenomenal. I only have a couple of nags with the G2, some of which already solved by XDA (low speaker volume, bloat) and the others will be solved in time.

The buttons on the back will have you cursing for a few days, but after that you'll get used to that. It hit me once like a ton of bricks, while talking on the phone I wanted to turn the volume up. Normally this means fumbling trying to find the volume rocker on the side, but then it hit me, hey my finger is ALREADY on the damn button. Done. And after you get used to knock on, you'll be upset with other devices that can't do it. I never touch the sleep button.

I had pretty decent lag issues with the S4, among some other nags, the G2 has NONE of these. Its a monster 99% of the time. (I've only found a couple of super oddball issues) I rooted day one, and did a Titanium restore, Nova launcher, etc. No problems. I swear this is the fastest, most responsive typing experience I've ever had with SwiftKey.

I was also desperate to be able to return to AOSP (or an AOSP based rom) and the Exynos S4 looked pretty bleak for full support. (as usual) Makes me wish I had gotten the I9505. (snapdragon)

I'm not huge on battery life (I'm able to charge most of the time) but the G2 also wins here by tons. I'm completely happy with that. S4 w/rom and kernel was doing an average of 12ish hours for me, the G2.... probably 18-20. I left the G2 unplugged overnight and with two days of mild use I got over 30hrs. When the screen is off it uses NO battery. (for me and my setup)

I had a 16gb card in my S4, and the G2 is 32gb... so even steven there.

All that being said, I'm paying very close attention to Nexus 5 news. I'm an AOSP junky, and I'm very much ready to return to a Nexus phone for that reason. The fact that it will be based on this hardware is exciting. When we get official word on the N5, I'll weigh the G2 vs the N5, and how the dev scene looks for the G2. If I knew for an absolute fact that the G2 could/will have the same dev potential that the N5 will undoubtedly have, that would seal it for me. (I did the same thing last year, bought the LG OG, and wished I had gotten the N4)

Summery: Noway is there a valid argument to get the S4 over the G2. (unless you *HAVE* to have removable storage/battery)

All of this is my opinion for what its worth. I've been using Android phones since before the Nexus One, and I usually try all of the flagship phones, minus the phablets and *usually* no HTC models.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jspradling7:
Some days I take my S4 with me and some days I take the G2. I like them both but if I had to choose only one to keep it would be the G2. The S4 has better GPS for some reason. It locks twice as fast but it's no big deal. I can live with 32gb of memory and 3000mah batteries.

No unlocked bootloader. But we have a way around it so we have twrp and have the ability to flash custom roms and mods as if we had an unlocked bootloader.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] custo:
I jumped ship from my S4 the second I could get my hands on a G2. The S4 was great, the developer support was top notch, but i just always felt the S4 could never reach it's potential. No matter what ROM I chose, I always noticed lag while scrolling or transitioning through apps. The G2 is lightning fast, I have never experienced a slow down. And my God! The battery is amazing on this phone. With my S4 I got about 13 hours with 4 hours on screen time and now with the G2 I'm getting almost 20 hours with 6+ hours on screen time. Definately worth the switch
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
I don't own either of these but from what I am reading I can say:

-G2 has a better and bigger screen +0.2''

-Slightly better camera in daylight and way better in low light.

-Lag free while the S4 has been reported many times as laggy

-Better battery

-S4 camera has no problems with moving objects and subjects while G2 is slow to focus.

-Exposure is better with S4 camera

-Speaker is louder

-Memory can be added thanks to SD slot while the G2 is limited to 16gb(or expensive 32gb).

-Great bunch of roms including an overgrowing Sense 5.0 port

-Weather sensor (it's a cool addon for me)

-Better reselling price (at least in my country)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbungle999:
I had gs4 for 6 months. G2 by far better as for reasons already posted here but I will tell you a couple of things I thought were better on s4.

1. The stock gallery photo editing. For some reason when you edit photos on g2 it compresses them down to like 250kb from 3gb original file size. I have no clue why it does this but they are unusable unless you use 3rd party photo editor which is annoying.

2. The g2 stock music player sucks, I use poweramp.

3. It would have been nice to include a high speed slow motion video mode like on the gs4.

4. Stock calendar better on gs4

5. Nova was more useful on gs4 as you can't make nav or status bar transparent on g2. This to me ruins the whole home screen look and keeps me from being able to change icon themes and other fun nova stuff. Otherwise the stock ui is nice enough that its not a deal breaker.

If anyone has any fixes for these I'm all open ears. I'm not rooted and not sure if I should. Maybe you can convince me otherwise.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Makes sense, because Bluetooth *is* a 2.4 GHz network.

I notice audio skipping with both BT and wired connections when my phone disconnect and reconnects to WiFi (like, when I am driving home and come up the driveway, audio will stutter.) This happens when I come home from a run, too, while listening to audio on regular earbuds. I hadn't thought to try to restrict 5 GHz, though. Since it happens wired, too, it shouldn't make a difference, but I'll see what happens...
