LG for the win. Look how high people voted the G2! With Kitkat no other phones come close to it!
[G2 General] jiteshj:
Still kitkat kinda took it down with bugs leading to slow charging, bad battery life than before, audio bug etc
[G2 General] liti15:
You are wrong mate kitkat is good in batery menagment even better than jellybean
[G2 General] LenAsh:
You have a problem (or problems) that others don't seem to have...

Charging is as JB (as expected), NO Audio issues.

Battery life, for example (using my flashable 80220B) with moderate to heavy use...
[G2 General] farhanito:
So, the route to custom recovery is...

Right after using freegee, you MUST then reboot to the installed recovery to flash that custom kernel. Is that correct?
[G2 General] jiteshj:
As far as i know on indian version it took 3.5 hours to fully charge from 13% to 100%.and man who wrote not facing any issues better learn that there is an audio bug. It took 2 hours to charge on jb and battery life is hit by atleast 1 hour on screen time

[G2 General] :
I didnt have audio issues untill a week passed. so brace yourself.

came out of nowhere, audio strarted to sound cramped, like lower and upper hz were cutoff then highs went very high to hissing sound. when music ended it became static, weird.

I flashed a couple of roms and the ones based on new kernel blobs had it, the older ones didnt.

the ones that say that have it fixed, have the static fixed, but not the high and lower mids of audio.

lg should test sound by comparing soundwaves, that should show the difference in audio quality. fast with a couple of audio testcases.
[G2 General] BackDaws:

[G2 General] giorgosfil13:
Since I'm an audiophile, and since so many people report the messed up sound bug, I wont be upgrading until LG manages to fix the bug. Too bad, I wanted to have the 4.4.2 very much.
[G2 General] chaki-:
I'm on kk over a week now. 2hr music every day. Not a slightly hint of audio problems. I even installed winamp pro and there sound is become even greater.

I'm a audiophile and have multiple headsets that i can use.

On my Yamaha station at home the sound comes clear. It's not the best sound at the market but it is ok.

Email client slow w/Exchange

Hey guys,

Telus user here in Toronto, Canada.

Upgraded to KitKat a couple of days ago.

Phone is great, nice and fast, only had the Google Keyboard not respond once.

Setup my company Exchange account on the phone, set policies are encryption and password/pin.

Set it all, and noticed the email application is slow as bones, and is almost unusable.

This is horrible, because I use my phone for work. I can barely check mail.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi all, after updating the official way to 4.4.2 via LG PC Suite (from Eur Open D80210F to D80220B), as many users reported, Antutu benchmark dropped to the 20-22K range. I felt more smoothness with KK 4.4.2 and didn't noticed any drop in performance so didn't give major importance. Here's what I found today and the way I saw Antutu Benchmark did return to near 31.000.

1 - you have to be rooted - in case you don't know (as I didn't until this morning), root is already available for stock 4.4.2 through IOROOT25, credits to [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]

2 - I've run lagfix app - available in Google Playstore

3 - Change SD card default cache block size (512) to 2048KB (normally the std in Nexus devices) - some apps available to do this, I used ROM Toolbox Pro

4 - Reboot

Screenshots attached

Sent from my rooted, no hiss / sound issues, Battery good - happy LG G2 user.
[G2 General] dongsa:
In case anyone else experiences this, I removed the account and readded it with only 1 month of email to sync.

When I initially setup the account I set it to download ALL email, which is 3 years worth. A bit too much all at once? Weird, it's working fine now, a bit slow compared to the way the LG Optimus G's mail client responded, but light years better.

Cheers guys.

LOVING 4.4.2 on this thing! Wakes up the phone! Curious as to what happened to that knock on pattern feature they were talking about? I don't see anywhere in the menu where you can turn that on and set a rhythm/pattern to your knock to unlock it.

meh :/
[G2 General] robogo1982:
IT'S COMING! This month, LG said.

[G2 General] sancho55:
Just got mine update to 4.4 via OTA on Swedish 3 . Apparently it's been up for 3 days but my phone somehow missed to pick up the update notification. Easy to tell the difference straight away, it runs way smoother than earlier, really great and I'm especially satisfied with improved knock-on (which actually responds now properly without a hiccup). Trying to figure out all the new stuff but got kinda disappointed that they moved the Settings button to top right of the notification panel. Anyone know a way to get it to back to the old spot ? :p
[G2 General] Willianme:
Apparently the Kit-Kat came improve what was already good. :highfive:
[G2 General] joe841:
Here's the reply I got today (31/03/14) from LG regarding kitkat

Hi Joseph

Thank you for your query regarding your G2.

I have had a read through of your email, I hope you have had a good weekend. If you have an open market (unlocked) G2, then you can expect the update to be released within the next week or so. If you have one which is locked to a network, then the update will take a bit longer, but this is dependant on the network.

The only exception to this, is people who have a G2 locked to EE. EE have decided (for the time being at least) not to release the KitKat update. If you do have an EE locked G2, then you would be best speaking to them, to ask if or when they may be releasing the update.

I hope my email has answered your query and assisted you today; I would really appreciate your feedback. Please help us to improve our customer service by completing the short survey after this email.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards

Chris

No issue for me on 20C with my D800, I have had my phone for 3 weeks no audio bug either. Just as a side note, I have noticed some noise only when plugged into a noisy power source like a cigarette lighter adapter in the car, but it goes away as soon as music starts and never returns, if I start the music before plugging into power in the car I never have it. How many of you that have this bug are running on battery or does it matter? Attach is my screen shot of the Antutu benchmark.
[G2 General] OptimusL:
I haven't seen slow charging reported anywhere after the 4.4 update, my phone charges just as fast as before and the battery life is even a bit better.
[G2 General] salisbury_steak:
Re: Audio Hissing Bug in Kitkat.

I was able to replicate the bug earlier. In my case, It was caused by navi bar customization (changing the size from 100% to 70%). I turned off my navi bar customization and the hiss went away. (I didn't know that the hiss would be THAT distracting, I initially thought that it would only be a faint hiss.)

For those that have the Kitkat audio hiss bug and is using a simple rooted Kitkat rom, try to disable all nav bar customizations for now (G2 xposed or G2 tweakbox), then restart. Then report back if you still hear them snakes.

Goodluck!

P.S. I have the paid version of G2 Xposed.
[G2 General] jurguh87:
Nope still nothing here
[G2 General] Gypsycurse:
International D802TA purchased in Australia, no sign of KitKat here either.

P.S tried the Cloudystock 1.3 rom, its very good but the LTE doesn't stick and the auto hiss (like nearly all KK roms) is present*

* audio can be fixed via patches.
[G2 General] Bruzz1:
I'm in Oz and I bought my D802 from Kogan, so it is running the SEA software. It received KK update OTA late March. If you're with Optus, I believe the update will come mid-late April.
[G2 General] taheromar:
Am just wondering why LG removed the path input keyboard from the KK update on SEA devices!!! Just why for God Sake!
[G2 General] :
I never customized the bar and suddenly got it out of nowhere
[G2 General] salisbury_steak:
Ok, so it ain't that either. Thanks for the confirmation mate.
[G2 General] robogo1982:
Couple of things I noticed so far:

- when using RunKeeper, all audio (including music and RunKeeper's audio cues) cut out for like a second from time to time.

- the Wi-Fi icon moves to the left away from the GSM signal icon for no reason.

- audio acts strangely (but I guess that will be fixed).
[G2 General] OneFreshDude:
How is it not a "REAL" problem when it doesn't let the phone sleep?
[G2 General] LenAsh:
No problems with sleep on either of my phones - see battery life below for both (moderate use and light use versions)

I'm happy - both my flashable 80220B ROM.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2680789

I do have to add that installing a custom launcher with KK support and transparency like new Nova really makes it look awesome :D
[G2 General] big ach:
I'm sooooooooooooooo unimpressed by the G2's battery life (specifically on the stock rom).... It sucked on JellyBean, and still sucks on KitKat.

Although, when I installed CM 10.2 I had AMAZING battery life - but the OS itself was somewhat unstable and I was having random reboots from time to time (which I can't have because this is my daily driver).

Am I doing something wrong here?? Why am I getting such horrendous battery life on the stock rom?

I leave wifi on, bluetooth on, GPS off, and Wifi/Mobile location services on (kept them on as well when I was on CM 10.2 and it was fine)
[G2 General] autom8r:
It's not the G2, it's you, sorry.

You have an app that must be running away...

Everyone I know gets serious battery life with this phone. Even my wife who loads all sorts of crap and doesn't turn anything off. She gets 70 hours on KitKat.

The officiel 4.4.2 hits Denmark
[G2 General] Xerses_frm_HoFo:
4.4.2 Uses more RAM

Just to clarify, I have not read the 3.62 Million pages of this thread... ;)

I have a stock, unrooted Videotron G2 D801 and it got the D801V20d update. Although my phone is more responsive and the knock on feature is better than before, the phone uses more memory than before and I find that the battery is dropping faster. I clear the memory using the Clear RAM widget like before, but the phone now only has about 500-600MB of free RAM. Before there would be 850-1000MB free. My phone would go from 8am to 10pm with about 70% battery left, but now it gets less.

Is this inherent in 4.4.2, or is there something I should know to fix this? Should I default the phone and set it all back up?

Thank you in advance!
[G2 General] robogo1982:
Found another two bugs:

- when long pressing Home to switch apps, the screen sometimes flickers and goes to the home screen. Happens mostly with Facebook.

- for no reason, the icons in the app drawer got positioned one on top of the other, with some blank spaces.
[G2 General] OptimusL:
Don't worry about the RAM as for the battery life try a factory reset (its good to do this after any major OS update anyway).

Kogan is an online store that sources it's products from overseas, Hong Kong I thinks. I meant to write the software version is (now) D8022a-SEA-XX. What version is Harvey Norman selling?

Finally, I rooted my D802 Open Europe with this Ioroot25 directly from 4.4.2 via ADB and it work perfectly!

[G2 General] Xerses_frm_HoFo:
Thanks for the reply. I reset my phone yesterday and set it back up like it was. The RAM is now back to normal with about 850-1000MB free and I will see how the battery goes, but I am guessing that it is fixed since the RAM is like it was before. I may have had some weird app issue after the update.

This phone has been, by far the best in terms of battery life. With "light" use I can get more than 3 days and with regular use 1.5 to 2 days easily. Pretty amazing compared to my Galaxy SIIX that I upgraded from.

Thanks again!

Yeah, there will be the "Recent apps" button, but you won't be able to disable the menu button. LG's own applications depend on that menu button, and that's the reason.

Upgraded, then hard reset and everything works like a charm, no problems so far.

No audio hissing or crackling but the so called "Bluetooth bug" is there with a CPU usage time of approx. 5 minutes. I don't think that it impacts the battery life that much.

[G2 General] gull_s_777:
Same here. Upgraded via PC suite and did a factory reset.

Room feels lighter and snappier than JB.

Auto Brightness has swift response now. And opening threads in messaging app are faster than before.

Bluetooth shows drain in settings, but GSam shows 0% used by bluetooth so it is most probably a bug only, not actually draining the battery.
[G2 General] VonSohn:
That bug bothers me too, every time the keyboard is up, and I tried this with several keyboard apps, it shows a distorted recent apps screen for an instant and brings me to the home screen. Should be corrected with future updates, or maybe we should do a wipe/factory reset. I hope not.

Yes i have, i´ve had g2 for 5 months now and the battery was almost unbelievable at first, then after putting tons of widgets and apps, music and videos on the phone it was maybe not unbelievable but very very good, 3 days ago i updated to kit kat ota, my battery stats for a normal low usage day usually read : system at top, then standby and then screen on time which usually was around 2-3 hours( i really had to try hard to have the screen on time at top which i always thought strange but didn´t care cause of the amazing battery life) , battery level 40- 50 % left, but after kitkat with the same useage, the battery stats have changed to screen always nr 1 even with very little use, which should mean better battery level, should be higher right? but no it´s at like 20-30 % battery drains faster and uses more ram, what the h***, i used to be able to leave it with everything of wifi ect, on stanby for like 12-14 hours with 3% drain, bnow i can not, it sucks, feel like i have the gs3 again :D

Yes. It's a Kitkat security thing. Kitkat doesn't allow non-root apps to access app drain information (whatever the reason is). Anyway, Gsam already addressed it via his root companion app.
