+1 (Verizon version) Any problems I had were solved with a case. Its really a non issue IMO. When the side bezel is cut in half again next year more manufactures may be forced to do the same. Who knows, we'll have to wait and see!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweets55:
Have no issue them. Only time I use the back buttons is when I turn my phone on/off. I like that people can see the light on when your talking on the phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil_jimmy_norton:
So far I'm really digging the back buttons on my Sprint version. My finger naturally finds the power button as I am taking it out of my pocket.

Only complaint I have is it's hard to adjust the volume when it's in a car dock.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polaric:
My solution for that was a volume widget on the lockscreen when its charging.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyltha:
tl;dr : back buttons are easy to get used to and the benefits far outweigh any negatives.

Wall of text incoming for the bored.

There are times when you can't access the back. There is no perfect way to interact with the phone in every circumstance with any phone but the back buttons in my opinion are a great idea, and what you gain far outweighs the benefits of buttons in the traditional locations. I hope LG sticks to their guns and keeps trying to improve the power and control button locations.

People can and should easily adapt, so if LG can come up with a better system they should go for that. I don't care if dimwits can't learn to push a button in a location that they are new to. LG gambled that people wouldn't be too put off by the change and I'm sure they have lost a number of sales due to that roll of the dice but if the placement of the buttons are what keep you from buying this phone, you don't deserve a phone this good.

Not saying this phone is perfect by any stretch but this is one off the best phones available at this time and has unique features you can't get on any other phone. Knock on, for example, is a killer app, in my opinion. When you go to other devices and start tapping on them expecting them to turn on you know you've discovered something special. Your mind tells you, "this phone is defective", when two taps doesn't turn it on when actually is just a Samsung S4!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polaric:
My sentiments exactly. I find myself constantly tapping devices now, I even felt the compulsion to program doubletap to turn on with my Linux Netbook(Touchscreen).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnarfsan:
I have switched to LMT and removed the buttons.

It's nice to have the added screen real estate and the pie buttons are much more conveniently placed :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
FWIW, I'm kind of digging the buttons on the back.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgdwiepp:
I'm liking them, it means you can hold the phone more firmly and on any edge without risk of pressing a button. When I first got it i was having issues feeling the difference between the camera/volume ridge and the power button but now it's pretty easy.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajoli:
I love them. Lets me easily change volume on music and such while its in my pocket. Sure, you can do it with side buttons too, but still.

I also find it easier to reach these buttons than the traditional sidebuttons.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimfram:
Only beef I have with them is from leaning against a fender when working on a car. It keeps turning the camera on and taking pocket pictures. Took exactly 100 pocket pictures today. I usually don't have my phone with me when I'm working in the garage but I basically can't now. Just a little annoying.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyltha:
I think you can change your settings for smemo and camera to off, you could also turn the camera the opposite way in your pants so the buttons are facing the flesh of your leg. I doubt your flesh is hard enough to allow for a button to be pushed very often, if at all. A case would also help with this problem you're having.

The buttons on the back of the phone, not the "back" soft key my friend....

Did you just troll me? ;)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcharng:
No issues. Hardly ever press them since knock knock feature was introduce.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qO_ol:
I liked the idea of the back buttons, even before I purchased or knew much about the phone. it gives the phone symmetry, physically and visually. I understood the logic behind the design, and even if you can't get used to them, it's definitely NOT A DEAL-BREAKER that so many reviewers emphasize...which is sad.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnarfsan:
Nah, I just shouldn't be posting at 3 am in the morning :P But I actually did have problems reaching the soft keys ;)

I like that the keys are back there. But what I like even more about this phone is that I rarely have to use them. The quirky tap on/off works well enough to be useful, and the buttons on the back are perfect.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinedoc:
I didn't think the back keys were bad when I bought the phone, but they have slowly become very annoying and I would rather have not had them. When in my pocket the phone goes on all the time, when I sit it seems to apply a little pressure on the phone because it's a larger phone, and that presses the power button. Also when I have it in my pocket any light pressure on the volume keys will activate them, it's annoying while at the gym listening to music. Many times when I simply pick it up I'll lightly touch the power button and it turns on, the knock on feature also is kind of easy to accidentally activate just picking the phone up and handling it. It's also impossible to use the keys while the phone is in its car cradle.

Don't get me wrong, I love this phone. I have Cyanogenmod 10.2 on it and overall it's a beast, I definitely love it. But I think the rear buttons were a mistake and it would have crossed over from 99% to 100% if it had regular buttons IMO.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20degrees:
I love them. They feel natural and other phones no longer do.

I even use the power button instead of knock knock sometimes.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgijmeleth:
Hi,

I've been using G2 for the past one week. Within minutes of playing a game( `10 mins), the phone heats up a lot at the back where the camera is placed.

I dont even need to play high end games like NOVA 3. Just regular games like Candy crush, Cut the rope etc heats up my phone real bad.

It heats up so much that its impossible to touch it with your hand.

Please advice if anyone has faced this issue.

Regards

Georgi

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgijmeleth:
Same here. Maximum overheating is seen during plants and zombie 2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

Guys you realize that you have a quadcore at 2.26 Ghz... And when you play a (heavy) game or some other heavy tasks (browsing in 4G for example) it's normal that the CPU heats, right?

Temperature is very subjective without reading the CPU temp with an app, it feels hot in your hand (you can have cold hands and in this case you feel much more the heat) and it's hot because the CPU temp is about 90°C is different...

Heat and overheat (or "maximum overheating" like above :D) is different too..., in any case there is a thermal throttling that prevent overheating. Our CPU shutdowns at 120°C so there is a little room... Even 80°C is nothing for the CPU...

Even 90°C for the CPU temperature is almost nothing (for the the stressed people) and there is a thermal protection in any case. Thermal throttling that reduces the CPU freq according to the CPU temp, same thing for the battery. And in case of extreme temperature -> shutdown.

And if you speak about "overheating" when playing a game or browsing while charging your phone...

Check your CPU temp with an app and report here...

It remembers me all the threads about "overheating" in the Nexus 4 forum...

:)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgijmeleth:
I will definitely try installing a temperature app and will report the temp soon.

I'm worried that the heating takes place near the area where the camera is located. Can this have any adverse effect on the camera?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polaric:
I cant vouch for a smartphone camera in general, but I know I had a newer regular old camera that sat in the sun and the heat for a day, and was perfectly fine. I don't see the heat damaging the camera.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyltha:
mine is not nearly hot enough that it's uncomfortable to hold. Just noticeable and a bit worrisome but no more than most devices I've had in the past.

If it gets so hot you burn your fingers then that's a big deal. But getting warm to hot is normal as far as I can tell. There are apps to check your temperatures. Install one and check the temp. Post your number here and let's see how hot it really is. In the mean time, don't hold your hand near the hottest spot while gaming.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polaric:
Nearly all phones get warm while gaming, they don't really have a cooling system. As said before, measure the tempature, and see if it is truly something to worry over.

Every smartphone I've owned, when gaming for a period of time...it gets HOT! No fan cooling system on phones. I had iPhones, S2, S2 skyrocket, Galaxy Note, HTC One...all gets HOT when gaming. Even my iPad2. As long as you're not getting first degree burns and the phone isn't melting, it is quite normal for it to get hot. But if you feel that something isn't right, go exchange it.

Hello, everyone! I have seen this mentioned in a few of the posts here in this community but no one had posted it as a thread.

Just wanted to post this here in case you might be interested in tweaking stock Touchwiz without needing a custom recovery (which we do not have yet). I have confirmed a lot of these tweaks work (mostly the theme tab)...some of the tweaks I did not have a use for so I did not test. Please test at your own risk and report back if something does not work for you! Neither Wanam or I are responsible for any issues you may run into...use at your own risk! Have fun!

As long as you reboot after exposed before you install Wanam you can do all the tweaks in Wanam without rebooting of course you do have to reboot before any of them take effect.

Also be careful with some of the tweaks that have to do with actual operation of your phone concerning calls and whatnot I found them to lead to boot loops on this device time to time. As the original poster mention the ones in the "Theme" category are generally safe. Should you messed something up and going to a bootloop just re root you'll be fine.

You must be doing something wrong.

Flashmode - turn the phone off, connect USB cable to PC, hold down Back button, connect USB cable to the phone. Green LED should light up, then phone is in flashmode.

Fastboot mode - turn the phone off, connect USB cable to PC, hold down Menu/Option button, connect USB cable to the phone. Blue LED should light up, then phone is in fastboot mode.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Did you install the drivers for it? If you want to use either flashtool or fastboot you need to install these programs along with the drivers. Also, ignore the prompt by Sony PC Companion when prompted. If you can boot into ROM, check that USB debugging is enabled.
