[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Of course you can compare both becAuse that's how both phones are. The G2 is the G2 because of its UI and hardware and the nexus is the nexus because of its UI and hardware. It makes perfect sense to compare them that way. If you compare every phone using the exact same software then the hardware only becomes the difference. To me it does not make sense but it does to you so to each his own. When someone purchase a G2 over the nexus, they do so knowing which software it runs and same for the nexus. It's like you saying well of course IOS is smoother than android because it runs IOS so you can't compare the iPhone until you install stock android and then only can you can Compare it with another android device....come on now be reasonable.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkinetic:
You can compare whatever you want, iOS to Android, AOSP to Sense, etc. However it doesnt meant its an accurate representation since its not an Apples to Apples comparison...People will say iOS is smoother than Android, part of it is the way the OS is coded...unfortunately you cant get an Apples to Apples comparison as we can't run iOS on android..However on the android side you can install the same software on both phones, so in a comparison about speed why wouldn't you compare the two devices in an environment that is as close as possible..The fact that both phones have almost identical hardware should then be a hint that if the two were running the same version of android then the phones should be equally as fast....The only thing separating the g2 and nexus is the software...eliminate that and you will see the N5 isnt as insanely fast as you claim.....To each there own, but the fact remains setting software aside, the hardware is so identical, that the performance as such should mimic each other...I'm done arguing this point to you as it seems you're set in your thought process...I'm sure some will agree with my assessment and some will agree with yours..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infexis:
I dont regret it for a second, only regret i have is taking the white version because the navigation buttons look wrong in white and because the phone is white it also kinda looks wrong to have them black.

This is just me being spoiled, in other words i am so satisfied that i am making up negatives. :p
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
You're right because I could not disagree anymore with you. From my point of view if you only compare phones that run the same identical software then it becomes a hardware race, who has the more capable processor. Then you'll have some ppl saying "well of course this one is faster than the other but if they had the exact same processor it will be a tie". So we both use logic differently I guess. You're entitled to your opinion though.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _DiGiTaL_:
No regret at all loving mine so far I do wish there were more ROM options that were good other than CM and Malladus.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkinetic:
Guess the distinction has to be made whether or not you are claiming software is faster or hardware is faster, if its software then yes the N5 is faster due to Kit Kat/AOSP no bloat, if we are talkin hardware then no the phones are no faster than each other. The N5 is essentially a g2 with worse battery and camera, the thing it has over the g2 is the dev community, take that away and its a bastardized g2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
I agree with that. The difference here is the software. The G2 hardware is superior, that's a fact that no one can argue. (Better camera, bigger battery, 13mp camera)

Yes I'm talking about software, I don't care which hardware is fastest, I care about the result in day to day usage. They have a similar SoC so they are both capable of doing the sAme thing in terms of performance but since they are not using the same software, I find the vanilla android one to run smoother and faster than the LG skin. Slap android 4.4 on the G2 and I get it, they will be the same (and the G2 will have better battery life) but again I'm comparing what I have in front of me.

same hear i returned the G2 when i got my nexus 5, but nexus 5 is on ebay now and im getting back a G2 tomorrow
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatzeZero:
Had the LG G2 for a week and got then a nexus 5 for it (because of the hype, collegues, blablabla). After another week I asked the guy that gave me the nexus 5 if I could get my G2 back. He was unhappy with the G2 like I was with the nexus. So I can quite good both devices. What annoyed the most using the nexus: cheap and edgy cover, cheap power and volume buttons, google searchbar and the smaller display. Related to specs there no or marginal differences. So yesterday was a good day for me. Got my G2 back and will keep it. Absolutly no regrets... G2 I love you! Great piece of smartphone!

Edit: Knock on, knock off feature is so helpfull... Knew from other kernels on xperia z!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martindar:
no I've got to say no regrets at all,the design is better,the camera is better,the battery is insane,it just feels a quality phone when you see the pics of the n5 it just looks functional look at the speaker grills on both phones the n5 is just ordinary where as the g2 is designed and flows so much better? remote controls which is another feature which I love and use to control my tv,audio,humax, I don't know if I can get on with an n5 after having the g2,the back cover on the n5 looks very cheap the ones I've seen are uneven rippley and I think they could have put a little more effort into the design - but then the g2 is more expensive, I have no complaints with the g2-d802 rooted stock

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

same as as soon as I heard about the battery on the n5 I knew i'd made the right decision -the g2 is in a different class to the n5- I cant believe that google or lg didn't improve the battery considerably, I know its cheaper but they should have listened to consumers a little more,it was a deal breaker right then
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leomd333:
Nope. I had a Nexus 5, had issues with it...got a replacement...it was even worse...so my g2 is in the post :D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitesite82:
I got the G2 because I couldn't wait for the Nexus 5, after previously owning 2 Nexus devices. This is by far the best handset I've owned now the bloat s removed.

A trip to Carphone Warehouse today confirmed I made the right choice. After comparing them both in the shop I prefer the feel of my G2. Also, the G2 is now only £20 more than the Nexus 5! They've bumped the Nexus 5 up to £409 and the G2 is only £429!!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodeojones:
After upgrading, call the Verizon customer support number and ask about Verizon Max. They'll check your eligibility then you'll have to wait for some additional reviews of your account (I was told it would take 3 days to be finalized but it went through the next day). Both my wife and I now have 6GB of data each. The day it went though I called for further confirmation and I was told this deal would remain for as long as I'm a Verizon customer. So it won't expire in two years when this current contract is up.

Any one please make a compare battery between your G2 and N5? I'm so confuse btw these phone. I'm using G2 but i want to changing to N5, but the G2's battery is really attractive to me.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well, I don't have the data you requested BUT I think that this thread is saying "keep your g2!". The battery life is amazing, the screen is awesome, you don't have any reason to go for a nexus 5. Unless you can't wait a few weeks to have kit kat.

Really. Some people should be able to provide you with some battery stats, mine is completely charged.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0ff:
I just bought a G2 and my Nexus 5 is on ebay...

The N5 is awesome but it's let down by (guess what) the camera (which is awesome in so many ways - low light etc) and the battery.

I put up with the N4 camera but i'm not prepared to wait for the N5 camera to get updated. The focus is just too slow. I have children, and would prefer to see nice shots of their faces, rather than blurred shots of the sides of their heads (it really is as simple as that!)

Battery on the N5 is no worse than the N4, but it would be nice not to have to charge during the day.

I do have a wireless charger orb, but i'm happy to live without that.

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

and the other side of it is that I will be flashing a custom rom to the N5 when a decent PA build comes out so you kinda lose the benefit of having prompt updates from google (although we'll have to see how poor the stock camera app is with the G2 hardware as I may be back to square one...!)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
The Verizon G2 has Wireless charging, so there's no loss for me.

And with the Custom rom things, I was really wanting a N5... but all I do is throw AOKP on it and call it a day. Why buy a phone of lesser hardware when both will run AOKP exactly the same.

Then after I bought the G2, I found how awesome the stock rom was. I love all the little features (there are a TON). Everything about the stock LG Rom fills my desires for wanting AOKP. The only thing AOKP provides that the stock rom doesn't is "Center Clock" and CM Themes.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goatssea:
Hoping someone can help here. Here is the background:

Was running CarbonRom (10/26 nightly I believe). I was just browsing the web on my phone, and it hung. It rebooted, and was stuck on the boot screen.

- Tried reflashing CarbonRom. Result - stuck on boot screen.

- Tried a restoring backup. Result - stuck on "Android is upgrading. Starting apps."

- Tried restoring to factory 4.3 via fastboot. Result - stuck on boot screen.

- Tried restoring to factory 4.2.2 via fastboot. Result - I was able to boot into the ROM, but I am unable to get my cell/data to work. The sim card is fine (I have it another phone right now), and I manually added APN, with no luck.

- After 4.2.2 was installed, it did an OTA update via WiFi. Result - stuck on "Android is upgrading. Starting apps."

I'm at a loss here, and tried multiple times with the same result. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seventhghost:
Hello! 2 weeks ago, i flashed CM 10.1.3 on my Galaxy S3(international) and now i am thinking of going back to the stock ROM.I have made a backup which stays in my clockworkmod folder in my file manager, and i was wondering how to return to my stock rom. As far as i know, i need to wipe the data from the phone before restoring my old backup(and the cache too, i think), but i am not sure if that would delete the backup files from my phone.And another thing i have been thinking about is,from what i remember from when i flashed my CM 10.1, the file was ZIP,but now the backup files in the folder and not in a ZIP file but seperate files, so will that be a problem?

Any help would be highly appreciated :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotleadsingerguy:
I received my Nexus about an hour ago and it doesn't seem to be able to finish downloading the update. Because it's not actually into the main launcher yet I have no idea what kind of progress it's making (there's no progress bar, no connectivity listing, and no ability to open the browser).

Anyone else having issues?

I'm connected to my work wifi for devices, but I honestly can't remember if it opens a browser window to accept the terms of use on first connect (we just changed to this type of wifi around last year, with independent logins per user and such. Around that time is when I connected all of my various devices, so I can't remember if there was some type of acceptance page. Then again, they could just be blocking one of the ports in use by this updater...I really can't tell what's happening.

BTW it's a 125.8MB update...which should take around 6-7 seconds to download on the work network, if it's working correctly. It's now been 20 minutes (on and off).

Problem seems to be just solved. I removed the sim card. Still didn't work. And then I restored it. After the reboot the progress bar was completed in 1 sec. It's now rebooting and updating :)

I'm pretty sure the sim card has nothing to deal with this issue. Obviously google servers issue.
[Android General] electron45:
The best and fastest way to root my device Huawei G610-U00 has been VROOT. You can download from web mgyun.com/vroot. It can be used for Samsung i9100G, i9108, i9050, i9260, i9268, i9500, i9505, i959, Note 3, and many like Huawei. With support for Android 4.3.

By default the program is installed on the smartphone in Chinese, but that can be corrected. It is enough to rename the file %WINDIR%\VROOT\rootres.zip->StringBundle_en.xml as %WINDIR%\VROOT\rootres.zip->StringBundle.xml, and then installed on the smartphone in English as "Kinguser".

Recommendation: Use the built-in Chrome translator to read web pages written in Chinese.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] nchopp:
Description: The iSmooth Google Nexus 7 FHD 2013 Ultra Premium HD screen protector is a glossy screen protector for the new Nexus 7. It has a cutout for the camera. I wanted a screen protector before I took my brand new Nexus 7 HD out to the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, CA for a month. This field environment can be tough on electronics - lots of sand, moondust (think sand, but the consistency of baby powder), and getting tossed in a pack with random sharp objects (keys, Leatherman, knives, weapon magazines, etc.).

Included:

Three screen protectors

Microfiber cloth

Four dust removal stickers

Pros:

Great fit - pretty much as close as you can get and still be able to install easily.

Durable - held up without a scratch after being tossed into an assault pack with lots of sharp stuff for a month.

Good value - three screen protectors for $13 is great.

Dust removal stickers are money - they work great.

Installation - both the printed instructions and the YouTube videos make installation a snap.

Lifetime warranty.

Cons:

Installation - would prefer if it were setup to install from the top. Since the only cutout is for the camera, it would be easier to align from the top instead of the bottom.

Microfiber cloth - it isn't the greatest. It ended up getting quite a bit of dust on the tablet, and I switched to one of my $1.49 microfiber cloths from Wal-Mart.

Feel - a little bit grippier than the screen by itself, fingers don't slide QUITE as easily. Not a dealbreaker by any means, I'm just pretty picky.

Summary: Great deal, will definitely look at future products from iSmooth. 4 stars out of 5.
