[G2 General] jordache16:
I think you hit most of the main ones so I'll just add a few more and/or expand on some of the ones that you already mentioned. I really don't have any major cons as the only things I can think of are pretty small and nit-picky.

Good:

1) Wireless charging (Verizon only)

2) Thin bezels (allows for larger screen in a 'smaller' package)

3) Excellent battery life, even with the large screen and fast processor (this is mainly due to the G2's 3,000 mAh battery and GRam)

4) No physical buttons (I personally love having soft buttons that are on the main display itself)

5) Weather animations on lock screen (I like little visual enhancements like this - If it's raining you get water drops on your screen, if it is sunny out you get sun rays, etc.)

6) Device unlock animations (there a 5 different animations to choose from for when you swipe to unlock the device and each one of them shows a glimpse of what is running underneath which I thought was pretty slick)

Good/Bad:

1) Knock-On - This is an excellent approach of how to go about waking up a phone (especially one that doesn't have any physical buttons on the front or sides). However, as others have reported there is a consistency issue around LG's implementation of this feature. In my experience I have found that it works properly about 4 out of every 5 times

2) FM Tuner - The G2 has a built in FM Tuner which is great, but it's not available on all variants... looking at you Verizon

3) QSlide - Feature that allows the ability to run certain apps on top of the currently running app (calculator, calendar, phone, messaging, videos, etc.). This has been done in the past on other Android devices and I think it is a nice feature, but for me the verdict is still out on it as I have not used it much yet

4) Slide Aside - This is another multitasking feature that allows you to save up to 3 apps at once and quickly jump between them with a 3 finger swipe. Again the verdict is still out on this one as I have not used it much and have had some issues with it being finicky

5) Quite Mode - This allows you to schedule time fames during each day of the week where the phone will automatically silence incoming calls, text and notification sounds (i.e. from 11PM to 7AM every night). I really like this feature however, I would like if there was an option to also disable the notification light on the front when Quite Mode is enabled (that way the random emails I get during the night won't light up my bedroom while I am trying to sleep)

Bad:

1) Would like to see more built in themes and other UI customizations for the stock launcher. A custom rom or different launcher would obviously address this and would allow me to tweak things further (hooray Android!) but I enjoy and appreciate a rich stock experience that you get right out of the box

2) I was not a fan of many of the built in ring tones and notification sounds (again this isn't a big deal and can be easily rectified)
[G2 General] Walter21026:
Even after the s-pen 1 gig resources, the note 3 has to allocate about 600mb of additional ram to the CPU and GPU as well. Just like our G2's which have the same chipsets btw. The 3 gigs on the Note 3 is not what it seems, after most of the ram is eaten up by these resources the phone will have about 1.4 gigs of free ram roughly. And users will have about 1 gig available for system and apps, and that's way more than plenty for any device running android. A phones superiority isn't made by its Ram, but it's easy for people to get sucked into believing that if they don't understand how ram is managed in android. People still believe more ram means faster phone and that's so far from the truth. No Ram is wasted Ram.
[G2 General] Cst79:
My "Good" list:

- Knock-On feature. I will not get a phone without this ever again. (not only hugely convenient, but my Nexus One button broke over time, and my Nexus 4 button is also giving me problems lately)

- Large capacity battery but also with additional hardware (GRAM) and software power optimizations

- Largest screen in its class (unlikely to be beaten from a same-size phone very soon)

- Newest hardware ahead of all competitors will keep the phone current for a long time, even at the end of next year.

- Bright RGB notification light (Nexus 4 is much weaker)

- FM Radio and IR feature.

- LG added software features (call window does not block the current app, separate volumes, easily accessible quick settings)

- YouTube movies look great on the big screen which has the correct proportions for HD video, thus the videos occupy the whole screen unlike on other phones where you can se black bands on either the sides or the bottom.

My "Bad" list:

- Poor camera performance in low light (both stills and video)

- A bit bland in appearance because of the average build quality, though not ugly

- Slippery (but there are some nice cases for it)

- Cannot be used with one hand in some scenarios, like when walking

- You can't remove the quick access buttons and sliders from the notification drawer

New update to my Microsoft Exchange issue. My yahoo email is also giving me the errors so it has to be a problem with either the phone or the email app. Hope I didn't get a lemon....
[G2 General] rfarrah:
I'm only on Day 3 of my LG G2 experience, but I'm a power user and so far the only (minor) negative comment is that the soft Nav/Home keys take up screen real estate.

Everything else about the G2 has been nothing but first class for me. As always, YMMV.
[G2 General] moonjak:
Autohide softkeys works great.
[G2 General] allan1229:
Is their a mod for this
[G2 General] woof123:
I have only on complain with that phone and its the camera software that need more work,when this is fixed then i got no other complains about it.
[Droid Ultra General] jfriend33:
Verizon just lowered the maxx to 199, ultra to 99, and mini to 49. This is music to my ears.

I paid 299, plus tax and an upgrade fee. I then was credited 90 for verizon30, then 100 for trading in an old electrify. Total cost 365-100-90=175

We have another line on our account with an old droid razr maxx. Now we can upgrade through comcast, pay 199, get a 100 visa from comcast after a month or two, AND do a moto trade up by mail, get 100 from moto. Total will be about $50!
[Droid Ultra General] DaemonAshra:
Currently at the Verizon store picking up the MAXX. That price drop was what I was waiting for.

EDIT: And the dirty deed has been done. It was 540 total for the phone which beats the hell out of $760 for the Note 3.
[Droid Ultra General] bagheadinc:
I was lucky enough to have bought my MAXX less than two weeks ago. I just stopped by Verizon and they did a price adjustment for me :)
[Droid Ultra General] PremierGT:
lucky! i got screwed on the price but i'm too happy with this phone to complain.
[Droid Ultra General] efdisastet:
Hooray for 14 day price guarantee!
[Droid Ultra General] Ualdayan:
I was way outside the 14 days unfortunately but don't forget to check your credit card features. The card I used for the 90 day purchase protection and extended warranty also just so happened to have a 90 day price matching feature. Be sure to check the card you used and see if it has a price matching feature too. Citi/Amex/Chase all have cards that do.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatyrei:
Hi,I changed my T-Mobile simcard to non isis simcard, And downloaded Google Wallet ....but the options of exchanging the funding source is nowhere to be seen in the app or the funding source doesn't appear anymore in my wallet.

Does it mean that Google Wallet doesn't work in my LG G2 even i change the simcard to non isis? Any thoughts?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashN2u:
What do you mean by changing the funding source? Like changing the credit card used?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatyrei:
Have you noticed it before....in My Wallet where your profile pic is located you can change the funding source or what card should be used(Nexus 4). But now in my new LG G2 after i download the wallet app it's not there anymore.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashN2u:
I'm assuming that's because the G2 has a menu soft key. If you are in my wallet, press the menu soft key. Select settings and the cards are the first option.

Ok, I just looked. I understand what you're asking about now. not sure.....

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

I don't see why it would matter in most cases. When purchasing online with wallet, you can click on the top right to bring up a list of funding choices. The default is checked, but you can choose another option that's on file. Not sure about other uses, but I would assume that it's similar.

[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
I had problems flashing the system with fastboot on my Verizon Moto X because the file size was too large. I saw others come across the same problem. I remembered that I used a moto fastboot one time back in the day so I did a little research and found it again. This fastboot splits the file up so that it can be flashed normally. It should use all of the same commands. I put it in posts before, but since I see people still having the problem I figured I'd make a thread for it. You run commands just like you would in fastboot except for when you type "fastboot" change that to whatever you name the file you download from the link below.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1953948

***This is just a replacement for your old fastboot,exe.

UPDATE: here is another link to a place that has moto-fastboot for mac, 32 bit, 64 bit, etc. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138092
[Moto X General] rocketsaucev2:
When I open this it says my computer is missing components? Weird I was hoping to be able to use this to flash system to get back to stock and keep my data.
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
Did you put it in the same folder as your original fastboot? Not sure that matters. I didn't think it would but maybe fastboot pulls certain things from sdk platform tools directory that I don't know about.

I'm assuming your old fastboot worked right? maybe not updated drivers? works perfectly for me.
[Moto X General] rocketsaucev2:
Man I feel like such a tool. Now it opens but closes immediately. :confused:
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
opens? what you talking bout willis? you should never open the file. you run the file through command prompt... you need a link on how to use fastboot or do you know how?

edit: I see that my OP might have been misleading. That file is just a different fastboot file. You still need to manually go to fastboot to flash your system img. PM me if you need assistance with that and Ill guide you through it.
[Moto X General] rocketsaucev2:
Ok, I didn't realize you run the command and tell it to look at mfastboot, but I got er now. Worked like a charm (with heart pounding for fear of failure!) Thank you for the link and your assistance, my phone is back to stock without fxzing. I used the thanks button!
[Moto X General] Bradart:
This is weird. These files are very different. Not a criticism or warning, just an observation. http://i.imgur.com/WRHhrLn.png
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
From what I have read, moto created this fastboot or edited it to run better with their devices. But I honestly don't care what the code looks like as long as it runs correctly. I wouldn't even know which fastboot coding looked more weird anyway.
[Moto X General] alex94kumar:
Still won't let me flash system.img, even after using the mfastboot.exe linked in the OP

Edit: system.img for VZW X1060 is 806,646kb. Max download size, as told to me by my phone, is 805,306kb (approximately)
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
check the pm i already replied to. I don't think you are actually running the new fastboot file. you are just running the old one and think you are running the new one.
[Moto X General] icase81:
The linux one from the same linked thread worked fine from me. It was just a fastboot executable and i replaced fastboot on my machine with it. Running fastboot flash system system.img worked just fine

I am going to be traveling this weekend. I guess I'll be paying $14 for an in flight wifi pass from gogo.

I guess I could use grooveip and Google voice to make and receive calls but it's never been fully reliable.

Anyone out there have a suggestion? I tried using Skype for video calling and that didn't work.

Thanks!

EDIT:

After doing some research I am finding mixed answers. It seems like half the people say when using gogo vpn, voip is blocked as a courtesy measure to other passengers....but google voice texting still works. And the other half say they have quietly been able to make a few phone calls with no issue.

Interesting.
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] thefloyd:
If you're somewhat technically savvy you could try and setup a VPN connection and VoIP (use a generic SIP provider) over that. If you had a working VPN (gogo is unlikely to block those, as they'd kill off their core business - business travelers), you could use a VoIP app no matter where it was blocked as all traffic would be encrypted and tunneled and not visible to the provider (gogo in this case). I VPN back to home if I'm using SIP apps anyway because I'm too lazy to set up encrypted connections and I once had someone steal my credentials when roaming with a SIP app in Europe a couple of years ago.

I'd recommend avoiding things like skype. They're not well optimized for the quality of connection you'd get via gogo. I'd recommend something like csipsimple with a cheap/free/per-minute SIP provider. The downside is the g729 codec - which is what you'd want in this case as it carries "toll quality" voice at 8 kilobits/sec - costs $9 to license due to patent issues.

Go figure. However, does this mean that we can flash their radio to our Z and get access to wind's frequencies? I haven't tried my wind sim since flashing another ZL radio earlier this week for better telus compatability, does anyone have any experience with this, or a rom dump of Wind's ZL?

It came with 4.2 pre-installed once they got it.

thank u for quick Answer...

i wonder because in symbian (a less powerfull os) there is such applicatuon and in windows ce and pocket there isnt...

is it so hard to do?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Private-Cowboy:
Well power is not the problem here. The problem is the policy by Microsoft, maker if the OS. The phone api is not publically avail like with Symbian60 phones and this api is needed to create such an answering machine. The Symbian60 phone api is publically avail so there are developers that brought answering machines out a while ago. The same situation can be found with Symbian UIQ devices like se SE P900, the phone api is not avail so no answering machine. Strange enough that one symbian api is avail (S60) while another is not (UIQ). Fact is that the phone api for windows mobile is not avail to developers so they cant bring out answering machines even if it would easily be possible from the power point of view.

Good to see new development for our phone. Thanks for your work on this.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
Omgah! A new ROM... must flash. :D
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] major_works:
Thanks for the new ROM! It's booting now. Same boot animation as Santod's UnSense... ;)

EDIT: Aaannnddd.... it's still in the boot animation. Those primary color balls, separating and merging into white... over... and over...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
O.o How is this rom only 128 mb?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] major_works:
Excellent question. I should have noticed that. It explains the, uh, inability to boot.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
Lol yeah I'm still downloading it but I checked the pull down menu progress and saw the file size and thought "wait... What?"
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] major_works:
Good thing I'm anal-retentive about nandroids. I'm usually that way about checking MD5s too, and I didn't do that in this case. Wouldn't have helped anyway.

Anyone can provide with a logcat because the ROM with boots on other HTC One Variants ...

Edit :eek:r I think I may have found the reason if someone is interested to try please PM me
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] major_works:
I've already restored a nandroid of another ROM. And, I must admit, I don't know how to create a logcat anyway. Can you do it if the device doesn't get past the boot animation? It went on for a good 10 minutes or more before I gave up.

OP says this ROM is based on CM. The current nightly build of CM is 187 MB. Yours is 128 MB. I'm thinking maybe it didn't all upload?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] driodmaster92:
Nope the size is okay ...its same as m7ul,m7spr size ......ROM is a hybrid of the sources of CM,Slim,PA etc.Mainly Slim...I think I missed a couple of vemdor blobs

I'll try it when you let us know you've re-uploaded. Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
I'm the same way major. First thing I do when I install a ROM and get it all set is nandroid. I still have unrooted stock to fall back on if something goes horribly awry.

I'll definitely attempt the flash once its reupped. Sounds very promising. :)

Hi,

I am ready to doante 100 bucks to the first developer who helps me get a STK (Sim Toolkit) app work on my I9100G.

I am using SlimBean 4.3, and I have flashed at least 7 or 8 Roms for my 9100G: none does support STK.

I need STK in order to use my dual Sim adapter, from Magic-Sim. Dual Sim adapter needs to use the stk.apk located in /system.

I do not want to go back to stock Rom for my region, Africa (which contains STK). I'd really love to use my beautioful SlimBean AND my dual Sim adapter.

Thanks

Ive had my exec for a few weeks now and I love it, apart from the hinge. Its no big deal, but its getting stiffer and stiffer as the days go on and ocassionally, I hear a squeak when I open it. This is when I flip it and not twist it. Does anyone else get this, that its a bit stiff? Should I return to o2? It should come under warrenty, but if it doesnt I got the gold insurance so that should cover it.

It also makes a scraping noise when flipping it!?
