[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xuv224:
There should be a simple setting that allows setting a time period (say 3 second, 30 seconds, etc.) where if the screen does dark and any button is pressed, the phone is back on Without having to re-enter the PIN.

Who is going to steal the phone during these few seconds?

Its hard to believe that such an advanced phone does not have any grace period on the lock screen. Every time the screen goes dark you have to re-enter you PIN (or other lock) to access it again, even if you press a button 1 second after it goes dark. That is so annoying and old android phones even had this feature. There must have 50000+ times over the last 2 years where I had to re-enter the phone unnecessarily.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gold_Diesel:
I'm pretty sure this exists. In Settings >> Lock Screen, there's a menu called Lock Automatically which allows you to change the length of the grace period.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] sirleeofroy:
Hi Guys

Apologies if this has been covered recently.

I am looking to unlock my SGS3 LTE (UK EE model) using the secret menu and I need a stock Samsung 4.1.1 rom to do it with, unfortunately the one I have downloaded from Sammobile (3 times!) fails when I try to install (other roms are fine so I think the download is corrupt) and all other links point to a site that has been shut down.

My question is, does anyone have a working link to a stock 4.1.1 rom or does anyone happen to have a copy they can upload for me?!

Many thanks guys

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
I'm tempted. I like my Note 3 but I like the size of the G2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slackercow:
i came from the note 3.

i've owned all three note phones, and each one has gotten much better than the last one. the note 3 had battery life that made me stick with it, until i found the G2 w/ its huge battery. getting 4-5h of screen on time, which is slightly less than what i had on the note 3.

the size of the G2 really sold me. it's thing, edge to edge screen, and the camera quality is close enough that i don't miss anything. in fact, i still think the camera on the htc one is my favorite. i don't think you'll miss anything from the note 3, unless the s-pen is a deal breaker for you.

additionally, LG's software tweaks are intuitive and helpful, IMO. the note 3 just has too many bells and whistles, most of which are more time consuming for me to learn and use well. and this is coming from someone who really likes more features. i think samsung is just throwing in the kitchen sink in its software approach. the G2 adds value with its tweaks, samsungs proposition... i'm not so sure. and touchwiz is starting to look VERY dated.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phobic99:
I did. I was looking to upgrade from my Note 2 but the G2 was released a few days before it. Had the G2 until the Note 3 ws released and kept it until about 2 weeks ago. I then traded that Note 3 for a Moto X and some cash. A few days ago, I traded the Moto X for the G2.

I will say that for starters, I liked the Moto X a lot more than I thought I would. As of right now, it's probably one of the best Android phones I've used and definitely in my top 3 (Droid 1, Note 2, Moto X). It's underspec'd compared to everything else I've used but I just love the user experience of it all. I'm actually still debating on dumping the G2 for another Moto X.

Anyway, as far as the Note 3 It's a nice phone and one of the best Samsung has made. My problem with the Note 3 was that

A) Touchwiz has way too much crap going on now. I used a near stock ROM on my Note 2 so it's odd for me to say this but I actually got sick of TW on the Note 3. They really need to update and streamline this IMO. The S-Pen works a lot better than the Note 2 so if you like such features, you can't beat this phone. The G2 has some really annoying UI features too but it's a slight step down to how the Note was. Very slight.

B) The more I used the Note 3, the more I hated to hold it. I thought the Note 2 was really nice to hold. Yeah it was big but I really didn't have any problems with it. The Note 3 is more squared off and just felt bleh after a while. The G2 is a lot better to hold and surprisingly the battery life is better than the Note 3, depending on which review you read of course.

I don't miss the Note 3 at all and I think I'm officially done with Samsung phones too. I'm getting to the point to where I just want to use my phone without having to ROM and take off bloat but at the same time I want a little bit more. I think this is why I liked the Moto X so much. It's not as vanilla as a Nexus but it has just enough tweaks to make it unique. The G2 is pretty much the same way I would say.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocelyn:
I had a Note 3 for two weeks before returning it, mainly due to Knox stuffs and I agree with just about everything phobic99 said above. With that said, I'm on Sprint Sero, meaning I can only upgrade directly through Sprint, and the Note 3 was $372.74 after taxes, while I managed to pick the G2 for FREE Monday.

As a previous Note 2 owner, I feel the G2 is better than the Note 3 (G2 feels much snappier imo), but considering the G2 was free, it was a no brainer.

I definitely use to be a Samsung whore lol, and I don't miss a single thing about about the Note 3. I also didn't think I'd enjoy on-screen buttons, but after two days of using the G2, pushing the home button my Note 2 feels horrible in comparison.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] force70:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frogman74:
I got the note 3 on Sprint on day one release, took it back six days later and waited for the g2.

The size issue I have with the Note3 is that it was to large for a phone and to small for a tablet. I wanted it bigger.

And then their is the over-saturated colours even on the "Pro" setting. Touchwiz (FUGLY)

The only thing I wish I would have waited on is the LG Flex. It's like a bigger G2.

For me the G2 is damn near perfect.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eduardt:
I am in a big dillema, should i go with the Note 3 or the G2. It seems that the G2 somwhow outdo the Note 3 and offers some pretty useful features. One of them is the On-Screen, where you can control your phone from your computer directly..... looks and sound awesome. Cant wait to try it out :)))

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eduardt:
So, what you think that to go with the G2 is the better option ? I am only tempted for the note because of the S-pen, I am a student and probably this will be an useful addition to me. Although, the G2 offers a very quick way to open the memo and start typing even with fingers...... What do you guys think ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phobic99:
Honestly, I'd say the best way to decide is to try them both for a few days. I know this isn't an option for a lot of people but most stores have at least a small return policy. The S-pen is really really handy so if you think you'd find that useful, then the Note 3 is the obvious choice here. For everything else, I'd go with the G2 personally.

Day 3 of g2 from n3.

So I'm now on day three with the g2. I rooted it using KINGO (which took 3 minutes) and personalized it the way I like it. I love it's size in the hand compared to the Note 3, but for some apps like Netflix, or video playback I still prefer the n3 size (and frankly the saturation) . I'm getting used to the buttons on the back although I don't really feel they are intuitive (How about a software slider for volume like Mx Player has?) I love the double tap. Battery life is excellent.

No complaints.

I think I miss the screen size but not the actual size of the n3... But I think the g2 is wonderful.

I think LG may overtake Samsung in time....
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr4nk1yn:
Here's my bit: My wife went <to> the Note 3.

I have to say it's improved over the Note 2. Software is better. Camera isn't a huge improvement but it takes photos when you want not 7 seconds after and without blur. Although the low light over processing is there, again no where as bad as the G2.

If I had bought the Note 3 <then> switched to a G2 I'd be disappointed.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocelyn:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonous:
It's funny to talk about future safety when we change our phones every 6m-1y :) LG is a regarded company with a long history in producing quality mobile phones and personally i didn't hesitate to make the leap from Sammy concerning the brand. Came from a Note 2 which i almost had decided to keep but the size had begun to become a burden lately, so i never thought about the N3 either. And why would i, i already had all the N3 software features of 4.3 on my N2, specs was not the reason i wanted to leave my N2. I almost never used Spen so that didn't hurt. Happy with my choice, G2 is all that i wanted and much more.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eduardt:
What about the S-pen, do you find yourself using it often ? Do you take a lot of notes. Is the G2 worse than the note 3 in terms of productivity or ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
I never really used it. So it just sits there. I think the biggest advantage, which I miss, is the screen size for watching video and viewing pictures. Netflix really better on the biggest screen cos of screen size and no soft keys taking real estate. Also I am REALLY disappointed in the camera (indoors and night) and video INDOORS (the focus hunts and breathes - really awful) . I'm surprised by how bad it is. Back on the g2 for now.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eduardt:
Here is a list of why i might pick the G2

1) My hands are a bit shaky and hope that IOS will help and improve my shots

2) The perfect size for a smartphone

3) The built in function to control and mirror your phone screen on your computer, where you can take a glance to every meaningless notification or reply to a text

4) Awesome battery life of the device

5) I find the button placement very comfortable and usable

6) the design and how most of the front face of the phone is a display - dont forget guys that you can root and hide the softkeys when you watch a video or play a game

7) The placement of the headphone plug and how more natural is to pull out your phone from the pocket ready to use

8) Optimus UI.... Yeah i said it ! You can customize whatever you dont like and make it how you want it ! This should be the core basis of every built in stock launcher out there !

9) There are probably more and more to tell and list but for now is that :) Still, i dont own the phone , so ......

I have both Phones

I use both phones everyday. I have large hands.

My Note 3 is a business phone, and I love using it for that specific use.

The size is is perfect for my hand, I use the pen everyday.

To me the Note 3 is perfect for using productivity apps, and the battery life is great as well.

The LG G2 is my personal phone and tbh, I didn't think I would like it at first but it is a really great piece of technology.

The screen is awesome, the battery life is amazing, and the phone is blazingly quick.

As a personal phone its pretty much perfect. I don't root or use any launchers, phones are bone stock.

To me I have the very best of both worlds. I switch one part of my life off and turn the other part on, its a very fortunate thing to be able to do.

Taking notes in a meeting is much easier with the S-pen vs the G2 via keyboard or finger.

I take about 10-15 notes a day. So I think I have used the note feature enough to say the Note 3 is more of a productivity phone, whether its a great personal phone is up to the user. I use the Note 3 for business and the G2 for personal use.

That is nice that you can afford it, but i have to choose one of them. The price difference doesnt bother me. Tbh, after watching a few videos of reviews and comparison of both devices, I saw some very nice features of what the S pen is capable. I will probably like it very much because I am a student in university and all the S pen things can boost my productivity. But the G2 is a great phone as well, i am so bifurcate. The lg has a good notebook app but as you said, its not convenient to type or draw with fingers.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
Well I finally settled back onto my note 3. I really liked the G2 but, as they say in 'Highlander'... "There Can be Only One". Reason was down to the screen size, for me (although the small physical size was what I loved about the g2). Otherwise it was a fantastic device (I keep double tapping my note) and I wish I could own both.

Also at the end of the day, when I come to sell in a year, the residual on the Note will be higher. Like Apple I guess.

I have been through countless devices (htc evo 4g,htc evo 3d,htc evo 4g lte,galaxy,galaxy s,galaxy s2,galaxy s3,note,note 2,moto x,nexus s,htc one x,htc one) ect... i can honestly say the g2 is solid for what it is compared to other plastic devices, but i have never felt better build quality then HTC devices.

Battery - i unplug my g2 from the charger every morning at 730am,i can watch a 1080p 5gb movie,browse the web somewhere around 1-2 hrs total,play call of duty strike for 45mins,text near 100+ all day and the occasional fb/ig social media. I get back home at 7pm with 40-50% battery life.quite impressive even with gps/nfc/sync on. If i just facebook/ig all day i usually come home around 70% charged. Even though its 3kmah it is impressive and might be the sd800 chipset.

Screen - this is the winner right here, highly responsive digitalizer,Very bright,very accurate color and amazingly sharp details. Has anybody watched the preloaded videos that show off the 1080p slcd3? Amazing.

Speed - this device is wicked fast,but it should not be a surprise. A 28nm quad core 2.3ghz will be stupid fast and wont make much heat or eat the battery doing so. Especially if it has a dedicated gpu with its own vram.

Storage - the file transfer rate is wicked,i can transfer OTW at 30mbps! However 32gb is not enough for me. Yes i am one who stores gobs of blu-ray rips and i believe they should have sold the sprint version with an expandable sd slot.

Camera - the camera doesnt impress me much,what impressed me is how much light it can capture with its sensor size, although like most tiny sensors,they will get slow in low light situations. During daylight the detail is crisp ahd shrap with NEAR accurate color reproduction,at night it gets a little fuzzy in dark areas. One of the cleanest detailed camera i have seen in a phone,but its not to much of an improvment.

Software - Holy bloatware! Probably sprints fault. I am a believer in the interface. I had recently broke my remote for my tv,no problem LG quick remote is pretty cool. I have stored the remotes from my job and home,because of location services or wifi it can detect which remotes to pull up automatically for you when you arrive at home ect... i really like the innovation in this device,packed with features most people actually use. However not sure how long they take on software version updates.

This seems to be more of a productivity device rather then a "ohhh,ahhh" device which usually wears out fast.

note 3's low subpixel density would be a deal breaker for me; amoled has 2 subpixels per pixel, which means a 5.7 inch 1080p screen has as many subpixels per inch as a 314 ppi LCD screen... that's downright low in my book; note 2 or galaxy mega stuff all over again. whats the point of such a large screen if it can't fill that real estate with actual detail.
