Don't know what to tell you. This phone rocks. The battery the screen the form factor. Couple it with the latest cpu and Graphic ram (what ever that is). This phone packs the best spec right now. The camera is no slouch either with OIS it is up there with the best.

As for developments, this device is so ready. Right now there is root and twrp and CWM. Read it somewhere about kernel source is released (need to fact check on that). This device is more than ready for development.

But still people are waiting one the fence until the released of nexus 5 to make their choices.

But for me I have already made my mine with 3000mah vs 2300mah battery there is nothing nexus 5 can do to beat this.

[G2 General] tiguy99:
This. Plus devs have already made announcements this past week that they're working on this phone. You'll be fine
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
I've had the S4 (twice), and it doesn't even compare to this phone. The S4 was an un-optimized piece of trash imo. This phone is the opposite where everything is quick and the features actually make sense.

The screen is better, performance is better and battery life is much better. Just grab this phone, you won't be disappointed.
[G2 General] irish.iolar:
Awesome phone, just got it, camera and vid are awesome, cam software could be improved a bit but really it's the best phone I've used, def like it better than s4.. and the nex5 battery is a deal breaker, coupled with an 8mp camera I read it's supposed to have... definitely G2.
[G2 General] gharris040604:
I've had the s4 , I own the g2 and just recently picked up the note 3 ,Def can't go wrong with the g2 it's the best battery life hands down even compared with the N3
[G2 General] zplit:
I have gs4 and htc one both good phone's till the g2 came in to my life. I thanks my wife every day for the gift. Best phone I have ever try. Battery is just amazing. Speed ufff. Looooks sick, the screen is beautiful, camera amazing. You ask me and it's a 10 stars phone.
[G2 General] KEriksen:
Well, just hit it and bought it on the web. Coming one of the first days next week, really looking forward to it :)

But keep coming with input, pros and cons... :)
[G2 General] tiguy99:
You're going to love it! Now that I think about it, I haven't had a phone where just about everyone who I've asked is in love with it and raves about it this much (check the other forums S4, HTC One, Note 3, 5s etc)

The G2 is that good. I had the HTC One for a week & took it back to get the G2 once I saw it at the store & don't miss the One @ all. I even waited 2 extra weeks to get the white version.

I'm very particular about the phones I get & how I use them. Trust me, this one will also get put through its paces. In the short time I've had it, I can tell you, its no slouch, the battery is insane, it just won't die no matter what I try to do & this is on the stock ROM!!!!

All I've done it turn off Carrier IQ which you can do without Root! Whoa. You'll see in a few days when you get it.

P.S

There's a Dev on the forums who mentioned they're making ROMs for our phone. In a few weeks this place is going to be buzzing & you'll be amazed @ what your new phone can do

LG g2 has been confirmed cheating on benchmarks as well.

[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
ha good one... the screen CAN'T compare! I have had the HTC One, S4 and S4 active and this screen is SO much better. Plus everything else it better too. So go play with one and you will see what we mean
[G2 General] Lockett:
I don't normally jump into these types of threads but I have to voice my opinion. I've always been a Samsung fan and love their phones. I'm coming from a Galaxy Nexus and have had plenty of hands on experience with the S3. This phone easily trumps both, hands down. The speed of this phone is amazing, the screen is beautiful and not over saturated like the AMOLED displays, the features are endless (I've had the phone since Thursday and I'm still finding little things out) and development is sure to pick up soon. The rear button placement does take a day or so to get used to but with the Knock On feature I hardly ever press the power button. Go through the 30 Day Challenge videos on PhoneDog about the phone. Their biggest gripe is they claim the phone is TOO FAST!
[G2 General] bachera:
niceto see the note cheats on all but one, LG only on 2.

Anyway whos to say these are cheats, if you run your mobile optimally by changing characteristics, it can hardly be called a cheat, its more optimalization.

also as its been debunked a thousand times over, benchmarks say nothing, its all about your percieved performance.
[G2 General] kcharng:
What is wrong with maxing out to phone setting before benchmark? It is not like they faked the score or anything. I remember my PC days when we used to freeze the cpu and overclock the **** out of it. That may be the extreme example but it is what your hardware is capable off.

[G2 General] Gasaraki-:
Lets just say I'm surprised how good this phone is. The best smart phone I've every owned. My last phone was a GNex with stock 4.3.
[G2 General] lyrical1278:
Coming from the s4, the screen ALONE makes the G2 a winner to me. The outdoor performance of the g2 KILLS amoled.

Battery life is amazing. I average about 15 hours a charge. Heck, today I'm going on 13 hours since I unplugged it and got 47% battery left. (Location service turned off. I use an app called "smart shortcuts to give me a shortcut to location services for when I need Maps)

Performance wise, this is as smooth as 4.3 gpe ROM I was running on my s4. And that's STOCK.

those factors alone actually made rethink about rooting. But I needed to root to hide those dang on soft keys
[G2 General] KEriksen:
While looking at cases I'm wondering what the difference is between the international version and the carrier versions like Sprint/T-Mobile...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cruzerlite-...F8&qid=1381163951&sr=8-93&keywords=lg+g2+case

It says Sprint only but I can't really see how it should be that different?
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
It doesn't have the cutout for the mic above the flash like on the AT&T version. Other than that, I don't see a difference.

LG G2

I too must confess, (like anyone really cares), I have been a fan of the Galaxy line since they started making them, and I was impressed with both the S4 and N3; was even contemplating picking that up, since my wife and I were due for an upgrade in a few days, she is bent on going for the N3 so that was out of the question, (can't have us both walking around with the same phone), but then I came across the LG G2 on one of those comparison videos and immediately fell in love. After that I went searching for information all over, which brought me back here, because I knew that if this phone was really as hot as I thought it was then it was sure to be buzzing on this forum. And I'm glad to see you guys don't disappoint. You've helped me make my choice that much easier. And can't wait to get my hands on this phone in a few days.

I do have a few questions though:

Is the LG OS on top of the Android OS easy to deal with or is it cumbersome and superfluous?

Would I truly miss not having an micro SD card slot, or is the phone so much ****s and giggles that I won't even notice?

What was the longest time someone has gone without charging their battery, with a full assortment of apps running?
[G2 General] trickster2369:
IMO, the os it's a delight, compared to sense on the HTC phones I came from.

Haven't even thought about not having an SD card. 32gb is plenty for me.

27 hrs uptime, close to 4 hrs screen on time, around 40% battery left. Works for me.

Enjoy this beast of a phone.

Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
[G2 General] kayrune:
Check the battery thread, First day I had the phone I put it on charger even though I've only used 10%, then I didn't charge it for next 80 hours, at that point I was at 15% and had more than 5 hours screen time. Moderate use, but wifi/BT on and the usual checking mail taking photos, tapatalk etc..
[G2 General] reflame:
I have both the S4 and G2. I prefer the G2 by far however with the S4 you can unlock the modem and I am on Wind. Hard choice.One has to go. Now if someone can do the same for the G2 I'm in.
[G2 General] beckzach05:
If you've ever used ADB, then rooting is a piece of cake. Everything I've done so far has been very easy (root, TWRP, backup, remove volume and brightness sliders). With the hardware this thing is rocking, the dev scene is only going to expand. And quickly.
[G2 General] :
G2 is amazing...'nuff said.
[G2 General] Rayan:
A1 - The first thing I did (mostly by default) was installing Nova Launcher, but quite honestly after a few days I went back to stock LG G2 launcher, firstly because the knock-knock to turn off does not work without it (unless you knock-knock on the top notification bar) and secondly, LG G2's launcher has soooo many customization features and appeal that I end up using it ever since.

A2 - At first I thought not having a microsd card slot was a deal-breaker, but quite honestly I don't miss it at all. My main concern was quickly filling up my storage due to high-def videos, but I just plug my 32 GB thumbdrive with an adapter, and move the videos over there. (see photo)

A3 - Battery juice is no longer a concern, not even while under heavy use! As long as I get a full day (6 AM - 11 PM) I'm happy, but you know what? The LG G2 does much more than that!!!
[G2 General] TheBiles:
I'm still waiting on CyanogenMod for the G2. I'm not about to downgrade my version of Android for an incremental hardware upgrade. As soon as we have 10.2 nightlies I'll probably jump on the train.

Amazon just dropped LG G2 price to $99

Hey guys,

Been lurking on the forum for a while. Today I pulled the trigger and picked up the LG G2 from Amazon, new Verizon contract for $99.

Was about to buy it in the store yesterday at $199. The drop in price sealed the deal for me.

I'm coming from the Nexus 4 terrible AT&T service where I live and NO LTE. Was thinking Note 3, but the phone is just gigantic. Had the note 2 and got sick of the showing up to meetings and people gawking/laughing over the phone. Somewhat embarrassing if you ask me. What I found interesting, was that the LG G2 is nearly identical in size to the Nexus 4. A tad taller, but thinner.

Then though about the nexus 5, but specs on this phone are slightly better - Screen size and camera. I hope we see more development or I may live to regret it... But, can always sell and move to the N5 anyways.
[G2 General] KEriksen:
I installed Nova (not prime) as well but knock-knock seems to work just fine still? And by fine I mean knocking in the middle as well, not just notification bar... :)
[G2 General] Semantics:
Best phone I've owned and the first android phone that I don't care if I get custom roms on. I'm more than happy with just root and recovery. Gorgeous screen, unreal battery, I mean what's not to love? I've had all the flagship phones and this is the best I've used by far.
[G2 General] JKDEM85:
I have a g2 but may trade it for a n3. Which is better in your opinion. Focusing on screen and battery. Thanks
[G2 General] gharris040604:
I've had the n3 for almost a week now and better is much better now that I turned off "wifi always scanning" only go with the n3 if you plan to use the stylus if not the g2 would be a great pick up. Att note 3 just got root thanks to designgears
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Both are better on the G2
[G2 General] JKDEM85:
Im loving my g2 but i like the bigger screen and ability to swap battery on long flights. Also the multi window and the design of the n3 is slightly better. With that said i love my g2. So torn
[G2 General] jwong.hhf:
cheating means you never get that ultimate performence in other apps as it shows in benchmark apps.
[G2 General] Myridian:
I concur!

I finally picked up my LG G2 on Monday and just I as thought, I am extremely happy with this phone. All the things that I've been reading has been insightful and much like Semantics I really don't mind the LG OS, and am pretty satisfied thus far without any custom roms (at least for the moment). I did install Nova Launcher the next day, (purely out of curiosity) but wound up going back to the LG Home Launcher almost immediately. My wife picked up the Galaxy Note 3, and while there are some great things about it, I know I made the best choice for me.(I plan on playing around with both these devices purely for the fun of it, to better gauge their capabilities). At first I had some reservations about getting the LG -for like a split-second- Google had finally started releasing information for the Nexus 5, which I thought might be the more powerful choice, but aside from the Kit Kat onboard I don't think there's anything especially different from the G2, and it appears that the Nexus 5 was based off/inspired by the G2.

All in all I love the phone and am glad I made this choice, I wanted something that stood apart from the rest of the masses and I found it. :good::D
[G2 General] kcharng:
But you can. That is why we have custom kernel, trickster mods to over, under clock and all sort of thinggymagick running in our phone.

If you are using googlecamera or for example miui camera or any camera app other than Htc stock camera you will notice that maximum video resulution is 352x288. I edited media_profiles.xml so now max resolution will be 720x480. For those who like 800x480 there is mod too.

Just download file and place it in system/etc, just backup old media_profiles in cease to restore it.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam2099:
Hello everybody.

I need to know how to disable the multi user interface in my note 10.1 rooted with pacman rom in jelly bean 4.3.

It is always duplicating the files that I put in it.

For example, if I put the NFS most wanted data files in the android/data folder it gets repeated three or four times in other folders.

If I put it in the emulated/0 folder it gets duplicated and it is present in storage and media and some other folder.

Hence the approx 1 GB file becomes 3-4 GB.

I'm guessing this is due to the multi user interface.

Also I have another problem

The USB connection isn't working.

If I plug it into the pc it doesn't show upon my computer but it charges.

If I out it in USB debugging mode the PC makes the connected sound but I still can't access the folders.

I need help.

Have you installed the Samsung USB drivers ???

:victory:I got both of them to work.

I disabled multi user by tying

fw.max_users 0

in terminal emulator, and made it permanent by typing fw.max_users=0 in the ending of build.prop.

i got the usb to work when i removed pacman and installed official cyanogenmod.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookiem0nster:
Hello,

I'm currently using the latest nightly of franco's brilliant kernel. Problem is, the minimum volume is far too high for me when I use my sensitive IEM headphones.

With faux's sound control I was able to use faux's app to put a negative headphone amp and thereby reduce the minimum volume.

Is there any way to set a negative amp via franco's kernel? I see that it is possible to set a positive amp in his app.

Thanks in advance

3-Installed CWM and did the following

1-Format /Data , /system , /sdcard

2-wipe cache

HELP! I changed out my charging port last night and my touchscreen wouldn't work but my S-pen still worked. Well I read some forums and 1 said (not this forum) to update the touchscreen by dialing *#2663#. Well I did that. It had 2 places to update the touchscreen and 2 for the S-pen. I did all of them and now I have NOTHING!! PLEASE HELP!! :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
1. You have an incorrectly seated connector. Open it up again and squeeze all the connectors. This time check your work by installing the battery and test everything before you put it back together.

2. Your charging port is the wrong part. You got the part for the international N7000 note 1. Open it up and compare the white part numbers and you will see the difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] icenight89:
Yup, the connector for the digitizer is either loose or you completely forgot to plug it in to the main board. You'll have to disassemble the phone again and check
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jenn22874:
The phone was just taken back apart and all connectors was checked ecsp the digitizer connector. The person who installed the new charging port checked the #s on the old and new 1 before installing. Ive now down a factory reset (pwr & volume). and still NOTHING. No touchscreen or S-Pen :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jenn22874:
ALSO!! after we got it finished last night the touchscreen was NOT working but the S-pen DID work. Then I did the *#2663# and went through and did the 2 touchscreen updates and the 2 s-pen updates and then it ALL QUIT WORKING
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] decimater:
Try doing a complete wipe via ODIN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Yes, a factory reset of the phone followed by a stock rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Updating the touchscreen firmware by dialing *#2663# will really screw the pooch. No factory reset or installing a factory ROM via odin will bring it back. Best to send your phone in for repair now. Never update your touchscreen using this secret code. Guessing you screwed the s-pen too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
So why wouldn't the flashing of a stock rom return all the values to factory? What are we missing that you see?

I had a similar problem. I replaced the charging port and now the bottom microphone is not working. Before I open the phone again I want to know if the microphone is built in the same board as the charging port. I manage two options: (1) I forgot to plug the microphone somewhere during replacing the charging port or (2) the microphone is built in the charging port board and it was broken before I replaced it. Please some help.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] buckofive:
Hi all,

While back in the USA, I was lucky enough to get a new Nexus 7 (2103) 32GB LTE model which shipped with a T-Mobile micro SIM card good for prepaid data access plans. However, I live in the Netherlands and when I tried to use my Nexus with a micro SIM from my provider Vodafone, it was not able to properly list the mobile network operators.

I opened a technical support incident with Google Play services who lead me through several diagnostic steps which included verifying that the tablet is not SIM or carrier locked, it properly recognizes the available networks with other carriers SIM cards (worked with T-Mobile USA, Telecom DE, MTN NG, Rogers CA) it also can list the mobile networks with no SIM in the device. But when a Vodafone SIM is added, it simply doesn't recognize any network operators. It's not a matter of APN settings, as we have verified these are correct, but the problem occurs at a very early level in preventing the mobile networks from being listed.

I believe this to be somehow related to the SIM card/middleware used to communicate with the SIM to the hardware. I see this behavior with the LTE Factory Image JLS36C as well as the Cyanogen Mod 10.2 unofficial deb builds.

Are there any other LTE users that are having a similar problem? Without mobile network access, my LTE model is effectively a WiFi only model and I'd really like to get this fixed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Guhrasoh:
As has been posted quite a few times already, the US and Europe use different channels for LTE. So a US N7 will not work with all European providers and vice versa. Most probably Vodafone uses one of the LTE channels not supported on the US N7. So you have two choices:

1. Find a different provider that uses the channels supported by the US N7.

2. Replace your current US N7 with an European N7 model.
