1> I agree GPS is slow to lock first time after a reboot, and is real crap indoors for me. Outside is much better. I had an S4 for a 6 days and it got GPS lock once after about 3 minutes, and the compass was always wrong.

2> I've never had that issue with the back buttons, and with the size of the screen, I'm glad they are on the back because I wouldn't be able to reach them on top.

3> If I wanted to run a party, I'd use a Bluetooth speaker. I've used the phone to play music in one room and been working in a room on the other floor, and still able to hear it.

4> Yup, auto brightness is crap.. S4 was the best I've ever seen for that. But.. Lux will fix that problem.

5> I personally like the bar always on. It isn't that the phone isn't working. It's that it isn't working the way you think they should be.

Then when you add in batter life and how much nicer the screen is.. I'm glad I switched. I had thought about just getting a different S4 assuming it was bad hardware causing gps/compass issues.. but haven't looked back. I do miss the ability to pull battery (haven't had any need too though), and the sdcard slot.
[G2 General] fromc2m:
I traded mine my s4 for a g2 a few weeks ago and i love the change. Lg did a great job i love this phone, its better in every way except for the camera. Even though reviews say that the g2 camera is superior i don't agree i feel like the g2 camera was over hyped to me its really not that good. And the battery life is amazing but for me sometimes its also not so good it just drains for no reason. Im still glad about the change.
[G2 General] Bowmanspeer:
I sure appreciate the input of this thread. I would love to wait for the flex but I think I want to be rid of this S4 more. Sorry, this device just gnaws at me in a bunch of little ways... Its like, so many things that could have been just a little better... IMO.
[G2 General] saldebot:
I do not regret buying the G2 and giving my wife the S4. I just love this phone, I don't miss the amoled screen at all.
[G2 General] reocej:
From S4 to G2

I also sold the S4 for the G2 and the only thing I miss is the sd card slot. An sd card slot would have made this phone perfect. The camera on the S4 is slightly better though in some respects, but the mods found in this forum make it much better.
[G2 General] force70:
I have both but use my G2 wayyyyy more. If the G2 had expandable storage (or 64g internal) and ditched the on screen nav buttons it would be pretty much perfect...i might even be able to own only one device lol

Sent from Canada via my G2, Note 3 or S4
[G2 General] sharkonland:
Went from the S4 to HTC One to S4 back to HTC ONE to G2, lol. Personally, the S4 was the least appealing. Wasn't as sexy as the One, nor a powerhouse as the G2. Honestly, if I had to recommend a phone, it'd be the One, but only for a basic user who wants a badass phone.

For a REAL android user, G2 ALL THE WAY.

Plus the battery was easily better than both. I used to get about 3-4hrs max on screen time with both one and s4, but g2 easily hits 5hrs with 20-25% remaining.
[G2 General] pickneters:
My only gripe is the shutter speed on the camera... It's so slow
[G2 General] SKyRocKeting727:
The shutter speed on the camera is horrible...LG needs to fix it with an update.

[G2 General] kuba319:
Im not an expert but I think you should ask this question in s4 forum too, the reason is obvious.

Btw I think g2 is much better then s4 ;D

G2
[G2 General] barondebxl:
True indeed. But considering op asked here it usually means that he leans towards the forum where he posted the thread. S4 is a nice device but G2 is just all around better. Better SoC, much better battery life, better display I.m.o, OIS camera although the S4 has a killer camera, better performance overall.
[G2 General] opensource4life:
G2

Better specs and waaayyy better battery life are the first two things that come to mind. Another thing to consider is how close it is to the nexus 5 in so many ways. I'd say go with the G2 and never look back my friend.
[G2 General] Colnart:
hm i thought the camera speed on my g2 was fast , it took picture instantly unless you're not focus
[G2 General] durandetto:
As far as the sound goes these speakers are much better than my s4 and my s4 was rooted with sound tweaks. SD card not.an issue for me considering I only had a 16gb card and was fine. I personally like ui better than tw. The ir blaster app is much better as well. Never had issues with the phone turning on in my pocket and the battery life is amazing.

---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

My s4 couldn't do that in 10 hours off the charger.
[G2 General] matheus_sc:
yes g2 have much better battery than s4
[G2 General] G1_enthusiast:
people that have shutter speed issue, did u flash the fix by jisnu or whoever is the latest one working on camera? I have no problem with it.
[G2 General] obladi64:
I can agree with you. Of course everybody's experience a bit different so let me share mine too.

I don't hate LG or any other but the facts are facts without ideology. I still like to use this phone but not as much as I expected. I did not sell my S4. My gf uses it so I still can and do compare these two phone day by day.

What I don't like in LG G2.

1. Firstly the GPS recognition. If something sucks it is that. Shortly, it is a cr@p. This thing alone is enough to get rid of this phone soon.

2. Back buttons. I did not expect too much from it and I was right. My opinion is that it is the first and last phone with this feature. Disturbing that I have to lift the phone in order to change volume if I use it putting on the table. Other time if I hold phone in my palm and I press any button I feel so that I push it out from my hand. It is not so ergonomic.

3) Knock-knock. I still don't know what is the appropriate way to use it surely? Sometimes only the reaction is slow and since I "knock-knocked" twice phone closes immediately. I tried 3 knocks and other ways too but nothing is useful clearly.

4) Touch sensitivity. It not always appropriate. Scroll is not in synchron with my finger position or sometimes no reaction at all just with delay. Also I need to click twice. I am saying sometimes not always but it is very annoying at that moment. Especially when I have to run.

5) Display. If the viewing angle is zero and there is no reflection it is OK better than any other. Otherwise? I always have to rotate it to zero angle. Same is needed because of reflection too. If I put it at the table the angle is at least 20-30. It already makes reading text more and more difficult. To tell the true AMOLED is far most piratical in the life and I don't care about how blue is blue and red is red. It is not so annoying. You can see it just next to each other. Moreover LG color accuracy is true only in one position in zero angle. Otherwise? Ha ha ha

6) Sound in the video or voice recording is breaking probably because of noise suppression. May be it will be fixed but not yet.

7) Menu Bar Buttons. It takes too many effective space from the display. Samsung solution with additional buttons is much more practical.

What is really good.

1) Battery is always enough for one day but it can be enough even for 3 days.

2) Hi-fi. The best I have heard from phone. Especially in case of 96/24 and/or if you listen acoustic music. Otherwise it doesn't matter what you use does it? :)

3) Camera picture and video. Yes it is good enough. OIS is useful.

4) Size. Big screen in handy device. Note 3 would be too large.

Hmmm I cannot enumerate more why it is better than S4.

So actually I don't want to go back to S4 but since note 3 is oversized I don't see other option. Waiting for S5 is still too early isn't it. I don't know what to do.
[G2 General] xxBrun0xx:
I came from the note 2 and have been skeptical of downgrading screen size, but once I got the g2 in my hands, wow. Incredible phone, it's a huge step up from every other phone out there (except the note 2 and G Flex because phablet).
[G2 General] jerverg:
Traded my S4 for G2. The only thing I miss is Amoled's black. Everything else is better on the G2 especially the battery.
[G2 General] MrJiM:
My G2 is going back to the store today. Its a good device but I hate software buttons, bad camera and no sd slot. Not saying that S4 is a better phone overall, but those 3 resons are dealbreaker for me.
[G2 General] DAJORDAN:
I have both rooted with custom roms - for me, the G2 is a better around. Be sure you can deal without sdcard.
[G2 General] riz157:
Had S4 one of the most disappointing phones of 2013.

I'm thinking about lg g2, not entirely convinced but like the design looks much better then s4.

I also owned nexus 5 really liked it but camera was very disappointing but everything else was brilliant, especially custom Roms.

I suppose development support is key for me in buying this phone. Are the Roms all smooth without any major issues? Probably deciding factor.

This will guide you thought the setup of Mint. The setup of your build environment, and finely the output of a flashable CMB ROM for your 700

First anything that starts with a bullet point is just for your reference.. Do not copy these things into your bash window...

Anything that is a code is copied one line at a time into your bash window and than enter

Now Install Mint 64 bit and a PC.. We will need at least a 250 GB hard drive...

This is a work in progress so let me know if anyone has any questions...

Pick the number of the rom you would like to build

I maintain the 700,300,m7vzw so those are the only ones I can help with

the -j* is how may cpu cores you would like to give to the build process

So -j2 would tell the build process that you have 2 core you would like to use to build

make clean && make bacon -j2

The flash-able zip will be in the out folder of your build directory

I was previously on Revolution HD v29 which was very smooth & had excellent (2 days!) battery life. I upgraded to the Omega 4.3 ROM and the battery life is down to just over a day now. I wondered if anyone had any experience of how the Revolution HD and Omega 4.3 ROMs compare for battery life and whether 4.3 ROMs are just more power hungry? Omega also seems a wee bit laggier that my old Revolution HD v29.

Thanks

Questions like this are NOT allowed. Best rom/kernel threads will be closed immediately. You should find out for yourself which rom is best for your needs and you can take into account the user response at the rom's respective thread and ask questions there if you have problems regarding it.
[Galaxy S III General] dwl99:
This was not a "best rom" thread - I was asking specifically if anyone had tried both of these ROMs and how they had found them. Yes, I could flash any number of ROMs to try them out. Each time I do that it takes me several hours to get my phone set up properly. If someone is happy spend a minute answering my query that's fine, if not, people are free to ignore the thread - I have been happy to respond to similar posts if it concerns a ROM I have used. I do not think that my post was unreasonable.

Does any of you know of an app that can do the following: simply display a dismissible notification if the phone has booted. Sometimes my phone does a random reboot, and if it's a hot reboot, it doesn't request the SIM code -- I don't even know the reboot occured. This little app could tell me of these hot reboots.

Instead of any app, I will tell you a VERY EASY method to create it yourself. You need Tasker app.

1) In Tasker , Create new profile ====> Event====> System====> Boot completed.

Then create new task to notify/popup with message of boot completed and you can receive a notification screen/popup on restart.

If you need help, feel free to ask. If you want, then I will create Tasker module for you.

Hi there, I'm not so experienced so far but I'd like to root my Galaxy S3 All stock with 4.3 build, I9300XXUGMK6 (unbranded italian). So far I understood that as long as I only want to run some root apps, I can use cf auto root and mantain all stock, 'cause it will reinstall stock recovery. Then I want to know if triangle away works on 4.3 (recently has been updated to 3.26).

After that will I be able to get OTA, as long as the system files are stock and the only difference is the root and some root apps? Can someone confirm this? Thanks everyone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Yes to CF auto root, yes to triangle away, no to ota -it won't update if you have modified your phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlBene95:
Are you sure? There's much confusion in this forum about ota with root, some say that it is possible to get it, if the reovery and the rom are full stock, only there's the possibility to lose root... In fact, there is an option, in SuperSU, which allows to mantain root even after OTA, so I guess it's posible to get it... Am I wrong?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Sure lets put it this way 99% of posts that have OTA problems are rooted and the install fails .

Via the method you post just going to have to try it as i have only seen one claiming it works .

But as i don't have OTA i cannot test .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlBene95:
