I understand, and I do believe. But, my case is different...I am using a phone designed for AT&T on a different network, in Cuba on GSM 900mHz.....that's why I answer that...

I am experimenting!!!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AhmedRana:
I am facing the same issue.

Switching to gsm doesnt help.

It was on KK when i bought this phone and later a few weeks i upgraded it to lollipop Grola ROM having software version f320k30e.

Still the problem is here.

I would like to flash another radio.

Can anyone tell me.

1. Where can i find radios for g2

2. How do i take backup of existing modem or radio?

hello guys,

registered to post a reply.

I have similar problem with my LG G2 D802. Very bad connectivity in areas where my old Pantech Flex was working perfectly

On 4th or 5th page I saw someone saying to change Network mode - 3 options there: GSM / WCDMA auto, WCDMA only, GSM only. The default option is GSM / WCDMA auto. Tested all 3 options throughout the day. Results :

GSM / WCDMA auto: I get strong signal and good network when data enabled

WCDMA only: No signal, no nothing

GSM only: Signal everywhere (Like it is supposed to be) but only E and G networks

I assume the phone cant switch from good network to slow network?? software bug?

btw, live in Georgia (not in US), operator - Geocell.

contacted both operator and the seller, but neither of them could help....

Give me some hope guys, I really like this phone :(

Something that worked for me

Hey mates.

I just bought LG G2 (Price / Performance) for myself from internet, whereas I bought the same last year for my wife.

With the new phone I had all the problems described in this thread. I have almost given up. Yesterday I came across LG DEV site with all KDZ files for all suffixes there is.

When I checked my IMEI, it appears it was meant for UAE (Arab United Emirates), and I am from Israel, hehe.

Either way, after installing all sorts of firmwares from all countries, it never occurred to me to seek for a specific suffix.

After downloading the latest 80230d version for UAE, the phone connected immediately, no wifi interference, the only thing it lacks LTE now. 3G is good enough.

Here is the link for the

(sorry, can't post links yet)

I hope it helps others

Cheers

Signal Drops

I'm experiencing the same signal issues as most people in this thread, it's really annoying to say the least. I've tried jelly bean, kit Kat and lollipop however the situation still persist. I have the at&t version D800 So those with the D800 to switch between the various network modes. Dial 3845#*800# then select Lte only---modem setting---rat selection.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topderob:
Well now. After trying all kinds of roms, Bootstacks, bootloaders, basebands from early JB to L5.1 stock and custom even aosp. None. And i repeat none of the above solutions work. Best what you can do is flash TOT Firmware. Let it install. After use flash tools 2014 flash lollipop. Then use dp-tools for root. Install latest bump twrp blastignator. Reboot to recovery. Wipe all! Including sd! While still connected upload firmware.zip (e.g.: cloudy3.3) and his kk baseband. Or use nifty baseband switcher. Choose kitkat bb. Then install rom. Let rom settle. Reboot a couple of times.

This has given me the only solution regarding connectivity. I now got more then one bar at occasion! In the end it still sucks.

Best of luck
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabbit19:
Hi. I do agree with reflashing and rebooting. I discovered it by accident when I am trying to flash CloudyG2_3.3. My G2 is also suffering with the fluctuating signal, having signal for 5 sec is very lucky. The CloudyG2_3.3 isn't working on my LS980 so what I did is to restore the 3.1 instead. after that, I was so surprised that the signal is stable. I don't know, I reflashed the KK_Baseband_LS980 after I installed the 3.3, cause I thought that would solve the black screen issue on the upgrade to CloudyG2 3.3.

After those procedures, my signal is stable now, but I am still observing it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raidrum:
What a pain in the ass this is. I am not so techie, so getting into jacking around with the software, roms, etc. really isn't an option for me. I've hassled with this phone since I bought on ebay (won't do that again) in May 2015. Supposedly a new phone with a one year warranty. I've sent it to LG twice under warranty but LG refuses to look into it and fix it. Dumb asses replaced the camera the first time I sent it for this problem. Won't buy LG again either. I'm throwing a hail mary as Ebay told me to contact the seller again. Ebays protection is only 60 days and I used freakin Paypal Credit which also only offers 60 day protection. If I would have used regular Paypal as I normally do, I would have had 6 months protection. Lesson learned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Comp625:
The on-going debate about the S3's camera when using Touchwiz vs. an AOSP ROM made me wonder about the camera apps itself. Which camera app do you primarily use? Coming from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, I actually miss the AOSP camera app (where you have the touch-wheel that lets you adjust settings on the fly). The stock TW camera app isn't quite as intuitive (e.g. to change white balance, I have to press the Options button and scroll down through a litany of settings just to change it).

I've been tempted to try OTHER camera apps, like Camera MX. Does anyone have a preference?

I had been using this camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.camerajbplus&hl=en until getting onto 4.3.1, whenever I use a 3rd party camera, it's fails and then no app can connect to the camera, I have clear the cache and dalvik cache to get the stock camera to work. But if the the jb+ camera works for you I'd recommend it. I use this camera when I'm not in a rush https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro&hl=en (there's a lite version too I think) It just gives you complete control of your camera. It's great for arty fartsy stuff but if you need to take a quick photo it might not be the best the app.

[General Accessories] sblantipodi:
Hi,

I'm seeking for an external battery than can charge my phone two times from 0% to 100%.

I have seen the anker astro slim3 6000mAh, I like it because it is quite powerful and slim, very portable.

http://www.ianker.com/product/79AN7909-BA

In any case I need a quality battery that don't loose charge if not used for a period of time.

In the anker site I read reviews where customers complains about the fact that the battery loose charge if not used just after few days.

I want a battery that stays fully charged for 15 days also if not used, do you know a battery like this?
[General Accessories] vectron:
As I replied to you in N2 thread, hardly any vendor manufacturers their own battery and rather buy and sell it re-branded. And you will also find some bad "apples" in every batch. Anker has thousands of reviews on Amazon, average rating of 4.5-4.75, and is #1 selling external battery brand on amazon with 18-month warranty. I have every single battery they're selling and reviewed them all. Slim2/3 will hold the charge for awhile, and also their latest 2nd gen Astro series is by far superior to all of their previous models. If you want something portable, 2nd gen Astro will be great with 6000 mAh, or you can go to a bigger double output Astro 2 with 9000 mAh, or triple output Astro 3 with 12000 mAh. Slim 3 is their latest slimmest one which I just checked on Amazon is out of stock due to popularity. I still use Slim 2 and 3 and always encourage my wife to carry it with her in the purse to use when her phone goes down.
[General Accessories] sblantipodi:
I would like to understand if it is bad apples or the only users who noticed the problem.

Have you ever tried to charge your astro and leave it for 10 days? What are the charge after 10 days?
[General Accessories] vectron:
I charge and use them. Ok, have Slim 3 right now fully charged. Will leave it alone and come back to this thread in a week or so ;)
[General Accessories] sblantipodi:
I will wait. I think that very few people will use the battery pack every day, but as me, they would carry the battery pack just in case is needed.

If it discharge after three days it will be unuseful for most people.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Since I had both Slim 2 and 3 fully charged since yesterday, it will be a good test to let you know how long it will take for any leakage voltage.

Btw, I do realize you are on a mission (after reading one comment out of thousands for all the batteries they sell?!?, not to mention tenths of thousands of other positive comments never left by others because people usually like to complain on-line rather then praise), but just speaking from a personal experience of reviewing over a hundred of accessories just in the last half a year or so - I research every product and company before I approach them asking for samples to review. So for a company to be #1 seller on amazon with thousands of 4.75 star reviews while offering 18-months warranty - simply means they have the best product which people like, and overall its a good working product with a decent quality control. If there is a problem with a design of a product - every single piece will fail. If there is a problem with a bad production batch - everything will be replaced under warranty. If there is a massive failure of products - company will go out of business replacing a lot of faulty products under warranty. Its a common sense. When it comes to electronic products, any company that claims 100% yield is lying, especially if you contract other companies to manufacturer for you or you license other products and sell under re-branded name.

Btw, a simple question. Considering 18-months warranty and hassle free return from amazon (depending on a country where you live), why wouldn't you just buy this $30 battery to try it out yourself and if it doesn't work write your negative comment about it? ;) Should be simple enough.
[General Accessories] NikJe:
My advice for you

In your case, I would suggest you to get a larger capacity charger that can charge 3 times your phone. Any charger is gonna lose the power even if you put it aside for a while. I have bought the Anker slim as you did before and I am happy with it. But since I'm getting more electronic devices, I require one with much more juice. My friend once showed me his RavPower 10400mAh and I checked that it has a reasonably price for me. Compared with Anker, I would be even more willing to have another charger from RavPower as they've a cheaper price but even larger capacity.
[General Accessories] sblantipodi:
I abandoned the idea of buying an anker slim, the output of the slim version is 1A and I want 2A at least.

It will take forever to charge a phone with a 1A output.

For this reason I can choose between this:

Anker 2nd gen Astro 2 9000mAh 2A output

Anker Astro 3E 10000mAh 3.1A output

RAVPower 10400mAh 2A output.

can't understand why Anker sells the 2nd gen as something new while the 3E has more features and is cheaper.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Slim 3 charges my Note 2 at 2A charging speed. Doesn't matter what they put on the label lol!!!

All of their batteries will output 2A if your phone can charge at that speed. Regarding capacity versus value, might as well go with Anker E5: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D5VAYRU/ - 15000 mAh for $49.99 and includes led flashlight (I reviewed that one as well).

The difference between original Anker products and 2nd gen is that new ones have 80% efficiency while old ones is closer to 70%-75%. Every other external battery out there is close to 70% efficiency. When they tell you capacity on the label, its a capacity of internal 4.7V battery inside. That has to be converted to 5V through usb output and during that conversion typically all ext batteries loose 30% of capacity. 2nd gen Anker has a more efficient circuit which looses only 20%. Plus, 2nd get has 10-led power indicator to give you a more accurate reading of charging or remaining power. Their original stuff and slim, as well as every other vendor out there, uses 4-led indicator which gives you accuracy in 25% increments while 2nd gen gives you 10% increments.

Also, for your information, "NikJe" works for RAVPower. I tested a number of their products and they are all good as well. Nothing against them :D

BTW, just checked both Slim 2 and Slim 3 since it has been 2 days from charging them up to full, they are still at 100% with all 4 leds fully lit up.
[General Accessories] sblantipodi:
there are many people who says that slim3 charges ipad really slows, this clearly means that the label is correct, it can't charge at 2A, not all devices at least.
[General Accessories] vectron:
iPad uses 2.4A, not 2A. Of course it will not charge iPad at full speed. Anker Astro 1/2/3 2nd gen "smart" output can charge it at 2.4A, the latest iPad at full charging speed.

Gee, you don't give up, uh? ;) Just took these pictures for you.

My Note 2 next to Slim 2 and Slim 3 (slim 3 connector is modified, I trimmed the rubber off to fit with my case).

Using Galaxy Charging current app, here is charging from Slim 2 (Max current number is a rating it charges at, 1800 mA always shown for max 2A rating).

And here is using Slim 3 (I couldn't zoom in to display with the whole battery shown):

I don't know what else to tell you, and a bit puzzled with your persistence to paint Anker as inferior product. You can trust my unbiased opinion because I review a lot of batteries, gadgets, accessories, etc. I do that as part time hobby, and as you can see from my post and "thanks" stats people trust my opinion. I'm telling you how it is, and include pictures to back up my write ups. If you don't believe me, it's your choice to buy something else or to buy any of the products I review and come back with your own reply-review to let everybody know if you agree or disagree with my write up.
[General Accessories] sblantipodi:
hey I don't persist in paint anker as inferior I say what they write on their site.

http://www.ianker.com/product/79AN7909-BA#ptop

on their site they wrote that anker small 3 has two 1A ports. if they are wrong in writing specs on the official site also is not my problem in painting anker as inferior.
[General Accessories] vectron:
I will forward to them this thread. I'm sure they will be happy to receive free publicity we generated for them lol!!!
[General Accessories] sblantipodi:
Can't understand why they understimate their products if they are able of 2A
[General Accessories] vectron:
I wonder if its for safety reason? I know they have over-current and over-voltage protection built in. With slim design you have less air circulation inside of the case to cool down electrical components. With other thicker cases it will run cooler. But either way, it's definitely capable of charging it at high speed.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Flip a coin, either side wins ;)
[General Accessories] willreds:
Is there even such a battery that can produce these results?
[General Accessories] vectron:
It has been 10 days since I charged Slim 2 and Slim 3 to full charge. Just checked their status and each one has 3 leds lit up which means it still has charge of anywhere between 75% and 85%. This is pure standby time with an exception of one time brief use of each just to check charging current. I will post an update in a few weeks again, I'm sure both will still have some juice left ;)
[General Accessories] medo2_0:
i have galaxy s2 oem charger and galaxy s4 oem charger the galaxy s4 charger is 4 time faster than the galaxy s2 charger i don't know why !!
[General Accessories] vectron:
What is a current rating on each? S4 charger will have 2A (2000 mA) versus S2 being probably at least 1A or slower, not to mention S2 is an older one and they get de-rated after awhile. If your phone can charger at 2A rate (like Note 2 or S4 or Note 3) it will charge at full speed using 2A charger, but if you use 1A charger it will charge at 1/2 speed. If you plug it to USB port of laptop which can only supply 500mA, it will charge at 1/4 speed.

Firstly, I am fully stock in every way. I have been getting abysmal battery life from my phone.

Obviously I'm aware that the culprit is lookout.. i do like the services offered by lookout and would like to keep them. Disabling lookout does fix the problem but I'm wanting to hear potential causes and/or fixes..

Thanks for your time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
Which of the features does it offer you "like". Many times there are other alternatives for those "features" without the drain.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] darekz:
Im using lookout with no major battery drain. Looks like your wifi was on all the time. Low wifi signal may cause for wifi radio to broadcast with higher power. Smart stay will trigger camera every few seconds. Personally I use "Screebl" from play store - it keeps screen on by checking if phone is not laying flat. Install "better battery status" (need root for that) and it will allow you to see which app or service keep phone awake. Turn on power saving mode. In settings turn off wifi while sleep mode.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Halor:
Thanks to those who replied. . However none of the answers have helped. .

Like I said, I am hoping to keep lookout as an unrooted stock user .. for now.

What isn't adding up is the fact that most users are reporting no issues with lookout draining battery..

So why am I having problems ??

As for weak wifi, that's not an issue.

Other ideas ??

XDA the place for answers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:svetius:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofir786:
Simply use flashtool to flash a .534 firmware and root using vroot or kingoroot. You dont need to unlock your bootloader to do any of this. Currently .257 firmware is not rootable but there are stock custom roms which are pre-rooted based on .257 firmware.

ps. is your bootloader unlocked or locked?

Locked bootloader.
