[LG G Flex] Tornlogic:
Despite the fact I'm posting from my note2, I do own the Flex. I've had it for less than 24 hours, and I have my first impressions.

On my first charge, I experienced sub-par battery life compared to my Note2 on Verizon running Beans22 which is underclocked in both CPU and GPU.

I have switched from Verizon to T-Mobile and I get very similar reception on both phones (LTE) at home, and HSPA+/3g at work. Must be same cell tower for both carriers. I live and work in Ashburn VA, and I'm positive of the towers location.

I use my phone a lot for gaming, particularly Heroes of Order and Chaos. I don't think the Flex can handle that game as well as Note2 in regard to battery life. Performance is about the same...

Network lag on Tmo is worse than VZW, but the bandwidth on TMO is nucking futs. 30mbps TMO vs 12mbps VZW. I don't know what's up with the lag.

Screens. I have to give it to the Note2 for quality, but I love the size of the Flex's screen. I like the curved appearance. That's unique and worth the trade off in quality.

Quality is weird here. Resolution is the same, it its the grainyness I'm not liking, and it noticeable in solid textures such as the drop down menu. Brightness.. I haven't tested outdoor yet. That's a true test for me, but I will have to get to it later.

I love what LG has done with the interface. Its like having a custom ROM without the problems associated with a custom ROM. Add root, new battery icon, and remove ads, and I'm set. I have yet to do these just yet, but I will, and functionality will be that of my rooted Note2. Won't have the ability to under and over clock as I do with my Note's unlocked bootloader, but oh well.

Camera. Note2 all the way. There are tons more features, and low light quality on the Note blows away the Flex. I'm not happy with the Flex's camera actually, and it may be a determining factor in returning this device and getting the Note3. I haven't tried video as I don't shot much video in real life.

Button placement. Man that's just something you have to adapt to I suppose. I'm still fumbling around with the power button so I understand up using the knock function a lot, but sometimes it just doesn't work. That's kind of annoying. Sometimes I have to knock several times to get it to work. sometimes it works the first time, and when it does there is a lag.

Note2 has capacitive back and menu buttons along with a physical power button. I really love that because at all times you maximize your screen real estate because its not being consumed by the on screen buttons. If you subtract the on screen menu button real estate from the Flex and compare that screen size with the Note2, they are about the same in size, the Flex being a bit wider.

Note3 for me maybe?

Any questions, let me know I will be happy to answer them.

Cheers!
[LG G Flex] Evofusion:
I'm also coming from the note 2 but I disagree with the battery life statement. I'm getting like 10 hours screen time with this when I would only get like 4 or 5 from the note. This phone is a beast.

Otherwise everything else I agree with. Display, picture, sound, etc were all better on the note, albeit by not a whole lot.

Overall I'm satisfied with the phone. The aesthetics are nice, screen size is exactly what I wanted, battery life is phenomenal and it's super fast.
[LG G Flex] vw65bus:
You can hide the buttons on your lg flex without root. Battery life is worlds better on the flex even better than the note 3. Besides display i seen nothing on Samsung that's better imo. I did like my note 3 for pics but haven't really checked the flex yet. I really like my flex better than the note 3 or 2. Out would've been far superior if the flex would've had the 1080p display. Can't wait till second generation of the flex.

Funny thing is i liked my note 2 Better than i do my note 3. But at the same time i like the flex better than both. Glad to have had all three. There are all great devices,
[LG G Flex] Tornlogic:
Yea, they are all great, and great for different reasons.

Maybe my first charge was not true to what consecutive charges will be. I'm on my second charge, and it seems okay. Nothing I'd write home about.
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
is it true that when you crank the brightness up over 50, any "graininess" on the screen is pretty much gone?

surprised to hear the camera isnt up to par with the note 2..

thanks
[LG G Flex] Tornlogic:
Yes, its true, the brighter you set the display, the less you see the grain. Also being in a bright environment helps too such as outdoors or in a well lit room.
[LG G Flex] cheapshot789:
Yea its true and i dont know if its just me getting use to it or that the phone has broken in but screen is looking better than initially. I remeber there was some device that the screen need to get some use so they can get broken in or something like that.
[LG G Flex] Tornlogic:
Dude, I'm totally thinking the same thing. Its not that I don't notice it, I simply can't find the grainyness even if I look for it. I'm mean its there... But not like I remember it
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
sometimes, when a thought is planted in your mind, you go out of your way to look for things..

after a day or 2, when you just chilllax and use it as normal, you dont see what you were obsessed with b4

or, its actually possible after a few days, the display "Breaks in" somewhat..sort of like not calibrating a TV until you have at least 100 hours or more on it...
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
You talked about possibly going to the Note 3, which I have. What would be the major difference that works sway you to the Note 3. I enjoy it and like having the SD card functionality because all my music is on there and I also use it to take notes a basketball coach.
[LG G Flex] pvaldeben:
Also coming from a Note 2. Unless they are side by side i feel the G Flex is smaller, i think its because the curve and small bessel. So if this was a flat 6 inch it would probably look and feel bigger. I forget its in my front picked. Lol. Enjoying it.
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
Thanks for the thread guys. I've got a note 2, but getting bored (it's been a year in one phone which is very new to me). Don't really want a note 3 because it's basically a slightly bigger version of what I have. I'm really thinking about the flex. Glad to see some reviews of actual owners who have had both.
[LG G Flex] Tornlogic:
Mainly the on screen buttons annoy me. Sometimes when I'm typing , instead of hitting the space bar I end up hitting the home button.

The screen quality

Sd card

Stylus

Minusus:

I hate touch wiz. It doesn't bother me on my note 2 because it's rommed.

Don't like Sammy radios

Cost more

Not curved. I love the Flex for that
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
In not a big Touchwiz fan either. It just provides me the opportunity to do different things with the stylus and multitasking. I do think the curve firm factor could be useful.
[LG G Flex] Tornlogic:
I find the multitasking on the lg UI more intuitive than Touch Wiz. I did use my stylus on my note2 only for taking notes, but the Flex had a wonderful note app that I like more, and I use my fingernail, and the screen has no issue detecting my fingernail
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
I'll likely stop into a store to take a longer look at it. Take the opportunity to go through the phone some and see what it really has to offer.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] blatch:
I was trying to install a new ROM on my Cingular 8125 when my computer died. It has a power supply issue. Anyways, the rom reflash was at 71% when it died. Now, whenever I turn the phone on it hangs at the rainbow screen. How do I get out of this mess and get back to a point where I can continue to upgrade the rom? My computer doesn't recognize it when I plug it into the USB port, but the text "USB" does show up on the phone. Help?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Bratag:
Did you take a backup of the ROM first? Do a search for boot loader and you should be able to find something to help - especially if you took a flash backup first.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
If you get to the "rainbow screen" then your bootloader is OK. Just plug it back into your PC and re-run the upgrader.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] karryt:
Yep, you're fine. I just upgraded my ROM to summiter's latest release (which is running great btw) and my computer shut off two times during a flash! I eventually figured out that the ROM upgrader was pegging my CPU at 100% and the processor was reaching its temperature limits.

I was a bit scared the first time that happened, but I was able to just take out the battery, put it back in, and then run the RRU program again.
[Windows 8 General] cx1:
I stumbled across these forum posts looking into how to get power and data at the same time on the Dell Venue 8 Pro.

Many good ideas on cable combos and hacking USB hubs to get the power and data working:

http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/dell/59328-venue-8-usb-power-same-time.html

For the more adventurous, someone cracked theirs open and added a 64GB USB key:

http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/dell/60553-adding-128gb-flash-venue-8-pro.html
[Windows 8 General] XTCrefugee:
The USB hub mod looks very doable, petergunn posted some videos in that thread which show it step by step and you can pick up the hub (or one very like it) on eBay for less than £2. I ordered one a few days ago to try it myself.

The internal USB mod is a different matter, the soldering points involved look very small. I bought the 64GB model, so coupled with a 64GB SDXC I'm not going to be running low on space any time soon unless I really load the thing up with movies or games.

I have to say I'm pretty impressed with the device though. Bay trails are the first Atom chips Intel will be using the Pentium brand for (for laptop/desktop models) and you can see why. Performance-wise it feels like a huge jump from cedar/clover trail. I've installed a bunch of games on it (inc. Blood Bowl and SC2:Heart of the Swarm) and it plays them well, even on around medium settings. Windows 8.1 is a different matter though, I've already hit several annoyances.
[Windows 8 General] cx1:
I ended up getting a more expensive but similar hub. The cheap ones seem to be sold out everywhere unless they are shipping from China and I didn't feel like waiting for weeks.

I picked my Dell up as an open box at Micro Center for $139. I don't even know why it was so cheap. It looked like it was never out of the box. I couldn't be happier with the tablet especially for the price. Not as elegant a device as my RT but so much more useful.
[Windows 8 General] XTCrefugee:
If your soldering skills are as bad as mine, that was probably a good idea. Mine arrived today, and the 'mini' ones on eBay from Hong Kong are very small inside, with much smaller pads than the ones successfully modified by the guys over on tablet PC review. I attempted the mod today but something must have gone wrong as all I got was "unrecognised device" when plugging it in. In the end I gave up on that and just went for the simpler option (see attachment) and made an adapter from some spare bits and pieces.

It's worth noting that there are a few caveats though, these are mentioned on the thread but quite a few pages in. Firstly, it will only trickle charge while connected to another device, not fast charge (you can verify this by checking in the Dell diagnostics, accessible by holding volume up and the power button when switching on). In practice, this means the battery level should remain around the same if the tablet is on. I think this explains why there is no official docking station for the 8 Pro from Dell as it wouldn't be practical to charge it like this for everyday use. Secondly, you're going to need more power than the Dell 10 watt charger can provide if you want to charge the tablet and run power hungry devices like external hard drives - if I connect my external Western Digital drive to my adapter, it works but the tablet stops charging entirely. A solution is to use a powered hub (or if you're doing the hub mod, attach a second charger to the hub's power connector).

I'm really jealous of the prices the 8 Pro seems to be going for in the US, it's a steal as those. In the UK, I got my 64GB model for £279 which is around $458 USD. That's still cheaper than the official Dell UK price, believe it or not!

-edit-

Forget what I wrote about trickle charging, it turns out this was due to insufficient wire thickness. Something to watch out for when modifying your hub though. My tablet is now properly charging when connected to my external hard drive, no powered hub needed :)
[Windows 8 General] thals1992:
Well, we could actually make a usb 3.0 hub out of the LTE socket.... Took pics of the shields off, I was thinking the notched corner was an sdcard slot. NOPE!
[Windows 8 General] XTCrefugee:
Not USB related, but another mod of sorts (firmware) has been mentioned over on tablet PC review. V3D says it's possible to downgrade to BIOS A03 (with the advanced eMMC/SD speed settings) but keep A04's embedded controller update that fixed the low charge problem:

I'll be giving it a go myself tomorrow.

-edit-

Confirmed as working, use the AptioV version of afuwin.

Okay everyone.. Its February 2014 and we have been into kk Roms for about 3 months or so on the g2.. Which one seems most stable... And with which kernel is it stable.. I have flashed every single ROM known to the g2 and every single one freezes at one point and reboots.. To me the Mahdi ROM with paek seems the best but I want your input community...

Freezes and reboots are long gone for me. Basically every room I tried if stable. They all lack gps and they all (obviously) try to force me into using Chrome but they're stable. If no rom is stable for you, either you're doing something wrong or your phone doesn't work.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
You meant the most stable CUSTOM firmware? Trying to promote this custom ROM is better or more stable than other custom ROM is prohibited in this XDA I believe.

As for most stable ROM, stay with the ROM built and released by LG.

I had the best luck with the unofficial CM build, but even that had random reboots from time to time and all the bluetooth issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] 1N4148:
As I cannot use the internal sdcard with CM11, I've made a small script which mounts the internal sdcard as /data/dalik-cache to get more free space for apps & app-data.

WARNING: Only for users who are familiar with adb as you can probably brick your device!

Installation is a bit tricky, maybe someone makes an installer. All steps are done over adb

First format the internal sdcard with ext4: mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p23

Copy script below to /data/local/userinit.sh (e.g. adb push userinit.sh /data/local/userinit.sh)

chmod 755 /data/local/userinit.sh

Reboot and let dalvik cache recreate. After this happend, reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik-cache and enjoy the 200MB more free space in data for apps.

#!/system/bin/sh
busybox mount -t ext4 -o noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 /data/dalvik-cache;
mountext=`busybox mount | egrep 'ext2|ext3|ext4'`;
if [ -n "$mountext" ];
then
busybox chown 1000:1000 /data/dalvik-cache;
busybox chmod 771 /data/dalvik-cache;
fi;
sync;

Awesome... I just needed it for assigning block on dalvik in my beta app. Works great!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BableMan:
Anyone else getting double text messages? I've searched up solutions but they all required rooting.

So I have a stock unrooted Note 3 rocking regular touchwiz and when I get a text it'll come once but then again a few seconds later, both times with the notification. Does this in the regular messages app and in hangouts if I enable SMS.

I've uninstalled all my other messaging apps in case that was the problem but that didn't fix it.

It happens with everyone so I know it's a problem with my phone.

Tmobile customer service is awful and couldn't help beyond offering to replace the phone if I pay shipping and go phoneless for a week.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
First you would not be phone less for a week cause they send u a phone then you swap it out.

The fix for this is to do a factory reset and before you turn phone back on you call T-Mobile and tell them to remove you from network then to add you back on then power the phone back on and it fixed.

TWEAKED 2.0
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BableMan:
They do send a phone if you can put a 800$ hold on your card, I'm a college student so a 80$ hold would be too pricey.

I was asking them to do just that since I had this issue with Cricket once but they said "we can't remove your phone without deleting your account". They tried to claim it was a GSM/CDMA difference but that seemed silly. I know I probably just got a few abysmal reps in a row but I seem to always get that. Thanks for letting me know that is still possible, so I don't have to deal with their epsilon class agents would this work just as well?

resetting this phone

hopping onto my tmobile and changing my device

changing it back

turning this phone back on
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
Whoever told you that was straight up lying. T-Mobile has a 1 year warranty that they will do the exchange. And everytime I get a replacement it gets removed off network by them and then added back on. I think you need to speak to a supervisor cause they playing you. A reset might fix it but need the rest of it.

TWEAKED 2.0
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Towle:
This isn't a problem with the phone itself. Are the notifications the exact same icon? If you use Hangouts SMS, go into the stock messenger settings and disable notifications. Otherwise a factory reset will resolve the issue.
