I can't from iOS as well and the scrolling took me a little while to get used to. I don't notice it much now. I think it's just a difference in scrolling mechanics I think. That being said iOS bored me and in loving my g2

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/109073-rom-wip-cm11-for-lg-g2-vs980/

Someone tell me if I'm breaking some rule by linking to this.

Anyway, this is a great rom. Really stable for this early on, been running it for over a week. Switched to the kernel posted in the non carrier G2 dev section a few days ago, running spectacularly considering how new it is. The only really bad problem I'm having is the kernel broke the camera. Not all the time, it works sometimes, but it craps out sometimes. It has the same problems as the other ASOP roms are having (low benchmarks, the stock camera app has only 8mp cam (13mp works in other cams,) sound quality suffers compared to stock, etc) but generally its fast, smooth, stable, and I love it. I can't go back from kitkat now. Give it a shot!
[G2 General] G1_enthusiast:
eh verizon....I'm running tmobile
[G2 General] tacosrdelicioso:
Just give it a little more time. Cm11 is going to run very very well.
[G2 General] MajorSuccess:
Still having a little trouble typing it seems...

But I came from iOS. I just couldn't stand it anymore, and needed a new change of pace. I feel like I've missed so much by not being on Android for so long.
[G2 General] datsyuk:
Thanks the input, hopefully Cyanogenmod 11 picks up quickly for the G2. It runs pretty well Android has come such a long way the thing that drives me crazy the most about this is the way the scrolling works in Android, iOS has absolutely wonderful scrolling, elastic, and consistent. Flicks on Android are choppy in apps at times and not consistent on how it scrolls. SMS and iMessages sent a little quicker and more consistent as well but that's not a big deal. Miss iTunes a bit for music management too idk how to get my Recently Added playlist onto my device which I locally store all of the songs on it.

Also blows my mind but Google images when you scroll through is extremely laggy! Probably the most lag I've seen anywhere on the phone. You would think being their own website and me using Chrome that wouldn't happen haha.

That said Android is a beautiful OS, way more entertaining and options than iOS. Let's see if I can get used to it I have until January 15th I can get a full refund if I want to.

Not long ago, I was cleaning out my garage and checking out some old PCs, trying to clean up the harddrives before recycling.

The damn Windows Me was sure running "fast like hell". ... simple OS does run faster .. even on crappy HW.

(one thought crossed my mind ... how crazily-fast it would run on my current kick-ass HW ?)
[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
I agree... However, I cannot cope with the limits of iOS, so I keep picking android phones.

[G2 General] dannejanne:
Yeah stock G2 is fairly choppy in animations. CM roms too. To my surprise Kitkat roms are the most choppy ones so I stay away from 4.4. Anyone not noticing choppy animations either have supercharged their phone or they are just not sensitive to interuptions in the framerate.

The best way to get rid of the choppy animations is to root the phone, install Trickster Mod from Play Store and tune the governor for more performance. Make is use higher frequencies etc. I have done this and eliminated most of the choppyness in the system and apps. At the expense of some battery of course but that's a compromise I gladly do.

Mine is heavily leanig towards performance in my governor settings. Still I have decent batterylife.
[G2 General] tacosrdelicioso:
There are some kinks in 4.4 still but I'm telling you, it's going to be fixed very soon. It will be the smoother than a baby's bottom. Cm11 official nightlies are a couple things away and voila.
[G2 General] dannejanne:
I don't want to run CM/Vanilla though. Done that already with P.A.C rom which is smooth as hell. But I miss the stock features too much if I flash something. To me the best experience on the G2 is running stock. First Android phone ever I've felt this way about.
[G2 General] eladelh:
Does the double tap work for on and off in this rom?
[G2 General] Lawlrus:
On every aosp ROM I've tried if you set the animations to .25 or off completely, that seems to get rid of most people's complaint on "choppyness"

Running OSE 4.4 nightly and I turned the animations off entirely for app transitions, and its smooth as butter.
[G2 General] dannejanne:
The Nexus 5 is smooth as h*ll. Optimized Vanilla Android on great hardware. My friend has one since two weeks and I've been playing with it some. It pretty much has constans 60fps from what I've seen but as with iOS if an app is badly coded or anything it can be a bit choppy. But the system is pretty much iOS smoothness.

Though to Androids defence my iPhone 5 can be a bit stuttery too at places. So it kind of evens out. I'm not very far from iOS smoothness on my G2 after tweaking the governor for performance. Smooth animations are my main priority with a phone as I am super sensitive to any kind of stuttering.
[G2 General] crashN2u:
It's the price you pay for true multi-tasking. Start killing your apps more frequently and you'll see better framerates.

Personally, it doesn't bother me because there is nothing in this world so important that I need it to work a split second faster.
[G2 General] dannejanne:
It doesn't have anything to do with multitasking. The phone flies faster the more apps you have open in the background as they are cached and do not need fresh start everytime you boot them up. Stop killing apps.

And on another note Android has anything but true multitasking. It's multitasking is pretty weak actually if you know how it works.

If you want true multitasking look at the old Nokia N9 from 2009 for example. Now that's true multitasking. Here's my N9 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2x_5dHQoVZo

Nokia N9 does never ever close apps by itself like Android does.
[G2 General] crashN2u:
Yeah, I know. I was just talking trash because of the iPhone. The lack of true multitasking is evident using Chrome. The reloading is a pet peeve of mine. I will disagree with you about the killing of apps though. While normally I let android handle it because it's the most efficient way, on my G2, for some reason, when I get 6 or 7 apps cached, I see a performance drop. Once I kill the apps, goes back to normal. The apps aren't running and the only wakeclocks i have are from the android system, so it's a mystery to me.
[G2 General] dannejanne:
There are a few who has very mysterious wakelocks on the G2. From where I am (Sweden), I have seen a couple post about the phone doing thousands of wakelocks overnight even though they have not used the phone. My phone shows very high Android system stats in Androids own battery monitor (usually much higher than the screen) but the battery is not affected. I have excellent batterylife Just weird stats sometimes.

Also location services seems to be a big drain factor from what I've seen in a Swedish forum.

Windows ME was an epic disaster. It ran fine a few days/weeks then all hell broke lose. Every... single... time.
[G2 General] DornoDiosMio:
One of the Microsoft guys even referred to Windows ME as 'a toy'. Not something I would want on my computer, lol.

My sister had it on her HP we bought @ Sams because I was too lazy to build her a computer at the time. Too busy hanging out w/ my ladyfriend. Ahh, memories.

She liked it at first though, then hated it, because it started to randomly implode at times.
[G2 General] hyperxguy:
Windows98/ME were great changes for their time.

Windows (itself) isn't that bad. It's the fool in-front of the PC that causes most the trouble.

Their are a zillion of cheap devices/drivers/apps you can throw on it. Don't be surprised with issues.

I built a network of Windows Me/NT many many years ago, for a friend's business. The man is still running them.

I've also built plenty of networks big&small. With solid HW/FW/Apps, they're just solid.

I've been doing computers (for a living, one way or another) for 36yrs and I know what I'm talking about.
[G2 General] nismology:
It's a simple system with android. You want to truly close an app, you press the back button until you exit it or swipe it away in the recents list (exceptions to this are things that continue to run in the foreground i.e. streaming apps like pandora/Iheartradio/Tunein/play music). Next time you open it from the app drawer or select it from the recents list, it will need to start up all over again. If you want to leave it open in the foreground, hit the home button and go about your business. If you select the app from the recents list after doing this there is no loading up; it's just there right where I left it. That is "true" multitasking. You just have to relearn how to exit apps depending on your usage.

As far as cached processes, this is why I'm excited about ART maturing in the future. This background caching will become obsolete as apps will be compiled ahead of time and will lead to Android being not only more responsive, but more memory efficient.

I use Elixir to monitor the tasks that I have running in the foreground and the G2 has enough RAM where I can leave several apps open and switch back to them in progress.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] i_z:
Hi everybody,

I have been trying out various softwares (install/uninstall) on Jasjar and was planning to do a hard reset to go back to original factory settings (like a format and complete reinstall WinXP on my desktop PC) and only install the selected few I liked and need.

Reading these threads for hours gave me the hint the hard reset is not going to do that for me. I am still a little confused; would somebody please describe what HR is on a Jasjar?

If not a HR is what I am looking for, how should I clean up all the tracks of junk (former programs that I deleted or tried to delete, but got an error message).

(Please, be easy on me and detailed, I am not a tech geek, have not even gone into registry yet…)

Thank you for your help!

IZ
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gaspx:
A Hard Reset will do exactly what you want. As long as you haven't been playing silly buggers creating your own ext.rom.. ;) -- given that you haven't touched the registry yet, I doubt you have..

Hold down all the required buttons, and press the Reset button at the back, wait 20 mins for it to rebuild itself, and you'll have a nice fresh Jasjar ready to go. :)

The only thing you may be confusing it with is a Soft Reset, and that's literally like turning your PC off. Nothing is gone, no information lost, it just reboots it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simba501:
I recently fell in love with Google Now (after I gave it a chance to "learn"). I disabled location reporting and history because of the wakelock it tends to cause (even though actual usage/drain is negligible).

Do you use the location feature of Google Now? Why or why not?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
I tried it, but it was just tearing through my battery I just had to switch it off. It's a great feature, but the batteries on most phones are just not up to the job.

There is this odd trend with manufactures to make the thinnest device the possibly can. I'd rather have a thicker phone to accommodate a bigger battery so I can use the features properly.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UCFour:
Same as you..

Sorry for posting here but I'm not allowed to post in the development section yet.

I'm on the latest Deepshining custom rom and I'm trying to change the radio software. I've gone though the procedure twice. The software shows the files being uploaded to the phone and a progress bar on the phone itself and reports sucess but when I look in the 'about' section on the phone I see the radio version hasn't changed. ??? Also I don't have any GPS on my phone. Am I right in thinking that that would have noting to do with the radio firmware ? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheOnlyChicken:
Hello everyone, I bought a Verizon S4 a little over a week ago. I put in my ATT simcard and it worked fine. I added the ATT APN settings and it worked. I was getting 4g. A few days ago, I was trying to see what LTE speeds I can get in my area, so I put it in my Note 2. It worked, I put it back into my S4. That's when the Data stopped working. I scrutinized my APN settings and nothing worked. I talked to ATT tech support and they don't know either. The data works on my Note. And the weird thing is I'm still able to receive MMS without wifi/data. Can any of you help me? I'd be utterly grateful! Thanks!

How did it break? I have the sprint model and I set my phone down next to a laptop exhaust port. Cool glass meets warm table annnndd......spiderweb. I actually picked it up and watched it crack all over. Lol luckily it was within 30 days of getting it so I exchanged it for a new one and bought a case. :)

Set it down on a wooden desk like every day, with a case on! No visible damage or anything.. Hour later I just hear it cracking.

The rear glass is very delicate, I have read people posting that even with the cover on, the glass split into millions of pieces. :p
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I think some are stronger than others. I've had my phone for a year with a thin diztronic tpu case and I have zero damage.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] nygfan760:
I had the same case. On my previous OG I dropped it bare several times. *sigh* whatever can't notice now lol
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Rishi.:
probably the ones that broke were of inferior quality . First batch maybe ?

I have also heard that the AT&T versions were the ones with highest quality.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Mine is likely first batch. Got it week three of November 2012.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hotbld5:
Heat

Does the skin make the phone build up heat faster? I'm only asking because it might shorten the battery life faster in the long run.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] nygfan760:
Not any hotter than usual.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
I dropped my lg once without a case on onto concrete. It bounced off a bottom corner and sent a curved crack up the back, and may have harmed a small portion of my digitizer in the same corner it bounced from and that's about it. I bought the cruzer lite case about a week after that happened, about a year ago, and I've dropped it several times on rougher surfaces with no additional damage. Not sure if the case is that badass for just being plastic, but it keeps me worry free.
[Moto X Q&A] mxx2:
Hi.

I'm going abroad on Jan 1 for 12 months and want to get the GSM version Moto X to bring it with me, but I don't know if this can be done.

The options are AT&T and T-Mobile. AT&T requires 6 months usage before they unlock, and T-Mobile requires 40 days, of which the last 7 must be in the US. So these are not options.

I then read about various "unlock" services online, but don't know how reliable these are. What are the odds they can unlock my phone, either AT&T or T-Mobile? This link: http: //www .technobuffalo.com/2013/11/14/att-unlock-changes-putting-resellers-out-of-business/ for example claims that there was a change just 1-2 months ago so that it's virtually impossible to unlock AT&T for 3rd parties now. If I buy this phone, I need to be almost 100% certain it's possible to unlock it, or it's not worth taking the risk.

Finally, would it be possible to unlock the phone by rooting it? I understand the bootloader for the T-Mobile version can be unlocked, but have no idea if, and if so how, this helps me.

Thanks in advance.
[Moto X Q&A] anirudh412:
Many including me have unlocked their phones. I myself had the AT&T model. Sites such as cellunlocker, unlockcode247 get you the code within a couple of days 99% of the time. The 6 months/ 40 days usage only applies if you talk to the carrier CS for the code.

If you dont want to go that route, you could always get the T-Mobile version. Comes SIM unlocked OOTB. So does the DEV Ed.

Rooting does not unlock your phone. Unlocking the BL comes handy if you do a lot of flashing.
[Moto X Q&A] BaconDrips:
I know this doesn't answer your question (since the post above mine does) but the Nexus 5 and Moto G are two nice smartphones that come unlocked. N5 will run you 349, Moto G 179. No contract, unlocked. I prefer the Moto X, but if you want a 100% guarantee, buy an unlocked phone.
[Moto X Q&A] mxx2:
Thanks anirudh!

Are you saying that the T-Mobile Moto X without contract is NOT SIM locked to T-Mobile? It would be fantastic if that's the case. Is there an official source? I checked with Motorola a few days ago, and they told me that whatever phone I buy will be SIM locked to the operator, but they might be incorrect?

(Also, when did you unlock your AT&T phone? The article I linked says it became considerably more difficult/impossible just last month, which made me worried.)
[Moto X Q&A] mxx2:
Thanks Bacon. Yeah, I'll fall back to the Nexus 5 if the Moto X doesn't work out.
[Moto X Q&A] anirudh412:
Moto X WILL work out. Even though the N5 is a great phone, I hate the 'bigger is better' race we have going on today. Phones like watches are tools. They go everywhere you do. The X is so much more handy than the N5. Removing the Nav Bar and using LMT makes it even better. This is EXACTLY the phone I was looking to get for so many years.

As for unlocking, I got mine unlocked a week ago. So did plenty of others. There are several threads in the Q&A/ General section on this. If however, you dont want to go that route, get the Dev Edition which comes unlocked. Also the T-Mobile edition. And dont base your decision based on what the CS says. There dont know squat about the X. They told me theres no way T-Mobile BL can be unlocked.
[Moto X Q&A] Jason.DROID:
AFAIK, the Verizon and T-Mobile versions are SIM unlocked. The system version for the T-Mobile version is ghost_row.retail (not ghost_att.ATT or ghost_verizon.Verizon), so there's actually no carrier in the the system version. So, the T-Mobile variant is just a retail version of the phone that has all of the available US GSM bands unlocked. Obviously, some carrier specific LTE bands may not be available, like Verizon's upper 700MHz band 13. It does support AT&T's lower 700MHz band 17 LTE, and of course T-Mobile, Verizon's AWS band 4 LTE though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdragonm:
Is there anyone out there that has one? I'm on my second SIM card and all I get is Not Registered on Network. Straight talk is useless in helping, and i'm NOT a phone tech in the least. First SIM I bought from wally world worked for about 3 days then Not Registered on Network was my greeting when making a call. I don't ge3t mobile data etc. Currently using the newest APN from their site. Android Version 4.1.2, baseband i9300CEEMG2, BUILD: JZO54K.I9300XXEMH1.

Also if I can get directed to the FACTORY Stock rom please. I want to revert it in case this rom is an issue. When it was flashing the phone flickered momentarily due to a power outtage. I know it's on a battery but better safe than not. Thanks for any help and if you need more info please ask! I JUST got the second sim card and it's still not working...so...I know I have to give it an hour at least.

When I plug my phone into my computer it says it will operate faster if I plug it into a 3.0 port.

I am plugging into a USB 3.0 port.

Does the G2 have a USB 3.0 port? Is there a different cable to use other then the one it came with?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:
The OEM cable isn't capable of 3.0 data speeds, only charging rate. 5 pin vs 9. If you look hard in the port, you can see what looks like the extra pins for a proprietary cable. At least I hope, and they release one. Someone should ask LG support.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalaidos:
USB 3.0 has a different micro usb connector so it wont work.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carbon12:
Yup, my laptop says the same thing... my guess is that internally it is USB 3 but unless there is a proprietary adapter for the other pins in there, the port doesn't support it.

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

I just looked up slim port, it uses 5 pins like micro USB, but if you look in the G2 port there are other pogo style pads exposed in there.

after reading a bit about slimport you may be right... so maybe we will see a usb 3.0 adapter... even though i doubt it

. You can set up to make the screen lock just by sliding your finger on the button back or recent. At least to block not need to use the power button.

The application is available in the Google Store.

Try gravity screen. It uses sensors to lock and unlock the screen.

If you have root, an alternative is the Xposed module KnockOff. It works well with 4.4.2. Double-tap status bar. It's even a quick way to turn off screen when you only momentarily want to check lockscreen.
