[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathshead:
LOL i should have just responded to this thread instead of starting a new one, but here goes.

I was a Note 3 preorder guy. I had the phone for 3 weeks....

AND. I sold it to pick up the new white Verizon G2.

The Note 3 was a HUGE disappointment!

The device feels terrible in the hand, with its sharp edges.

Using it outside when the wind blows it wants to fly out of your hands like a sail,

One handed operation, when your sitting down on the crapper is impossible, you cant make that thumb stretch without dropping it.

Touchwiz is really annoying with all kinds of crap constantly popping up in your face. my magazine, searches, bla bla bla.

The Note 3 is overly bloated and feels slow.

The Spen, its cool for about a week, then the Novelty wears off. and you never use it again. (the Spen DOES make 100% sense on the 10.1 2014 tablet which we have however, just need to ditch the TW.)

The external speaker AND the phone speaker are TERRIBLE on the Note 3. No good volume or clarity, a tinny sound and phone call volume never high enough if you cant hear the other party. Even with all the mods out bump the volume it makes it sound worse.

The USB 3 connecter is huge and ugly and I never noticed any difference.

Samsungs continued KNOX and other locking shenanigans. this should be the #1 reason to stay away.. lol

DEVELOPMENT! Development on the Note 3 due to Samsungs Garbage software is a complete hilarious JOKE.

The VZW section for instance has 3 lousy threads! No LOKI. etc. so no kernels. and the Devs who were working on those 3 threads were just doing it for the Bounty money or as a favor.

I could go on and on with my experience about the Note 3. It was a huge letdown.

After I got the Note 3, I started to see the G2 development community really start heating up, and caught my eye.

I come from an Old Galaxy Nexus, and used PGM/touch control for a knock on type wake and I loved it, once I saw "knock on"

on the G2 as a native feature it really piqued my interest.

I got my white vzw G2 on wednesday and I adore it, everything makes sense!

LG did a wonderful job with the stock rom. (there are a few small tweaks I would like such as better looking folders) but for the most part its

amazing.

The LG optimus UI has most of the features you see on custom roms.

it "feels" extremely light, not bloated or resource killing whatsoever.

**PERFORMANCE!

My G2 boots in 23seconds according to start up manager.

The device overall just feels so much more powerful and snappy.

Disk/File IO KILLS the Note 3, pulling up huge app lists, or in app manager, etc.. is instant.

The Note 3 stuttered and got stupid and would FC its own garbage apps, freeze up, etc.. Where the G2 is soo rock solid.

While, Granted the G2 has the shiny back it feels like a much more "premium" device, than the tacky East Asian style of the fake stitched back cover on the Note 3. The Note 3 fake leather back reminds me of those cheap fixtures in Chinese buffets that try to look "expensive"

Display: G2 hands down. I brought my Note 3 into the verizon store, and put both devices side by side both at 100% brightness in an extremely bright room. G2 colors look better, is clearer and more vibrant without the oversaturation. I swear the lcd panel draws faster than amoled, but idk..

Audio! - The phone speaker sounds great, first call I made I was like WOW! it can get extremely LOUD, but not in a screetchy ear bleeding way, in a full clear juicy big kind of way. External speaker sounds full and crystal clear, while the Note 3 speaker sounds very very tinny..

Audio over Bluetooth sounds much better in the car than the Note 3, again much more clearer and open.

Sorry: I prefer onscreen buttons. arrange the buttons in any configuration that tickles my fancy, I can also shrink down that Nav bar with g2 xposed to 60% from its original size while losing 0 of the functionality. With the Note 3 I was constantly bumping the capacitive buttons. and

the Home button is so heavy you have to slam your thumb on that button like a goon, its silly.

Development: Development on the G2 is smokin'! At this point Why buy a Nexus 5?

The G2 has got to be the easiest phone to root and install recovery on, you get more diverse variety of roms, utilizing LG UI and or hybrids of or straight up AOSP. but all on BETTER hardware and can be had for around the same price.

I can go on and on, But I'm loving the G2, and even the stock rom with tweaks.

The LG G2 This Is The Best Android Handset You Can Buy Right Now.

I know that many of my points could be argued otherwise, but as the dude says.
