[G2 General] GeorgeNav:
Post what you think are some good, bad, or good/bad (depending on the person) features in Lg's UI/Phone and explain similar to how I have it on each point. Comparing competing Operating skins/Phones/Pure Stock Android as far as the latest and greatest goes. Keep in mind this is mainly for the versions without removable back. I am just copying and pasting so some are not mine. Tell me if you don't agree with any points you see

GOOD:

1) Separates Bluetooth volume from media volume

2) Nav bar hidden when locked, normally not used on lock screen so to me nice addition

3) Stock launcher installed gives option to change App Icons

4) Software buttons customization

5) 1080p Full HD display

6) 13mp OIS camera up to 1080p 60 fps video (4:3 max aspect ratio at 13mp)

7) 2.26 GHz Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 800 Quad-Core Processor

8) Double tap for screen lock or unlock "Option" (can disable if you do not like it)

9) Sapphire crystal Camera Lense, arguably the strongest glass put on smart phones to date

10) Can be configured to pull up a list of apps when the headphone jack is used or it's placed in a dock/charging

11) Seamless notification for muting Calls while playing a game or using a Application when wanting to ignore, but letting call ring out

12) IR blaster integration with "Quick Remote" App/Drawer Widget that can be accessed in the notification Drawer

13) Wireless charging (Verizon only)

14) Thin bezels (allows for larger screen in a 'smaller' package) 5.2in screen to be exact

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

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

17) 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.)

18) 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)

19) Newest hardware ahead of all competitors will keep the phone current for a long time, even at the end of next year for the form factor packed inside

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

21) 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 see black bars on either the sides or the bottom

GOOD/BAD:

1) All hardware buttons on back of the device close to where fingers land/Non traditional placement of hardware buttons

Volume Down, Volume Up, Power button

2) Non removable back to keep form factor thinner and high build quality/no micro SD card port or removable battery and back panel

32gigs of storage only with 3000mAh/32 gigs up to 96 with 64gb micro sdcard with any size, type, and back battery replacement is non existant

3) Kernel makes certain colors pop to imitate AMOLED displays and creates a hybrid reproduction of it and LCD/Not naturally accurate

High quality IPS LCD that is bright and semi accurate/No AMOLED with really good contrast for blacks

4) 2 gigs of Ram/2 gigs compared to Note3 and it's 3 gigs of Ram

5) 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

6) 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

7) 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

8) 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

9) Quite Mode - This allows you to schedule time frames 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) Old version of Corning Gorilla Glass (Gorilla Glass 2)

2) Not water proof

3) If screen cracks, touch screen will be unusable most likely

4) Tiny soft speaker (mono speaker compared to the HTC One Dual Stereo)

5) Speaker easily muted by hand when playing games

6) 4.2.2

7) Gloosy - Slippery back attracting fingerprints

6) Gets hot when pushed and Throttled when too hot

Can disable feature that throttles when too hot in secret menu

7) More hemes and other UI customizations for the stock launcher. A custom rom or different launcher would obviously address this and would allow tweaking things further (hooray Android!) but I enjoy and appreciate a rich stock experience that you get right out of the box

8) Built in ring tones and notification sounds (again this isn't a big deal and can be easily rectified)

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

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

11) Cannot be used with one hand in some scenarios, like when walking depending on size of hand

12) You can't remove the quick access buttons and sliders from the notification drawer (but when rooted you can)

I'll leave the rest to you guys!
