Either way we didn't want these posted until we were done and nightly builds started. Which is why it says it in big letters at the end of the build. The builds aren't ready and if they were we'd release them.

so after 2 days and 7 hours i can post download link?

How to Disable WiFi Power Save Mode

The WiFi Power Save Mode configuration of the Galaxy Note 2 is a hidden feature. This can only be accessed and turned off by performing the following steps:

1. Tap the Phone app.

2. Key in *#0011# in the dialler.

3. Hit the Menu button below the screen of the Galaxy Note 3

4. Select WiFi.

5. Tap the “WiFi Power Save Mode” button to Off.

Reminder

Turning off the WiFi Power Save Mode can help optimize the connectivity and performance of your device but it has the tendency to drain your battery faster. So, consider this tradeoff first before disabling it.

Maybe I should warn everybody, this will kill your battery within 24-36 hrs, even if you don't use your phone at all. I did try this setting, didn't do anything to my WiFi connection, but my battery had hard time to last me whole day with moderate use. It's a good thing I finally remember I changed that setting, because my battery life was beyond terrible. I can go 4-5 days without charging with light use, but this setting made it hard to last 1 day.YDMV

Quite frankly I am disappointed but relieved. There's nothing overwhelming about it, so our g2 won't be outdated just yet.

It uses a higher binned snapdragon 800 (which they call snapdragon 801), it is water resistant and dust resistant (ip68), has fingerprint reader and heart rate monitor. Battery is 2600mah, 1080p screen and 2gb ram. Something is telling me that there is a more premium version coming out - maybe the f line.

I could never be happier with my LG-D802.
[G2 General] waleedshiekh:
Wait for g3
[G2 General] XERO_Racer:
its 2800mAh, which still is a big disappointment leading that they increased the screen size to 5.1inches

they do claim that you can get over 10hours of web browsing on LTE? idk if numbers are true but so far I love the fact everyones implementing some sort of elemental protections to keep our devices water or dust resistant at least, as far as i know i think there will be two versions of the S5 with one being a 2K and 1080 versions, I could be wrong though as I didnt watch the first half of the unveiling

youre right in some ways that G2 doesnt feel ALL outdated as of yet.

lets hope G3 will advance more than the S5 in terms of new "technology"

what stole the show for me at MWC is the Sony Z2 with its 5.2inch Live Color LED display, 3200mah battery, Snap 801 and fresh water proof

that shouldve gotten more hype
[G2 General] stevessvt:
Having owned the S3, S4, and the Note 2, I am thoroughly unimpressed. I like the Sony Z2 way more than the S5.
[G2 General] mackster248:
G2 bezel is a win.

BTW, both devices have the screen brightness maxed out.
[G2 General] renawld:
okay i know that the G2 has super slim bezels but now that you brought it up in a comparison like this i never knew how well minimized it is compared to the Samsung.

Props to LG for making the G2 reasonably futureproof. Similar to the OP, i was relieved as well because I'm stuck with this phone until 2016.
[G2 General] mackster248:
Yes, this exactly. I never realized how awesome G2's bezels are. Also, need not worry, the G2 is nicely future-proofed. It's already almost 5 months old? And it's just as good as the ones coming out now.

If anything, I wish the Sony Z2 got the limelight. The specs look awesome. That paired with the fact that Sony has always been dev friendly, it's certainly worth a look.
[G2 General] lartmander:
Added the fact that for serial ROM flashers all Samsung devices include warranty busting KNOX protection, even more reason to stick with your LG G2 :)
[G2 General] darabo:
If anything it makes me more excited to see what LG has in store for the G3.
[G2 General] ndnesh:
OH MY GOD! i knew that our G2 has some impressive bezels, but the samsung flagship positively sucks compared to the G2!!! Wow

it looks like some old mid tier samsung device, not at all a flagship that has released almost 5 months after the G2!!!

I am loving my G2!! Woot!
[G2 General] Higgins12:
Wow I'm totally shocked in what Samsung presented there today. There's nothing in the world which would make me buy this ugly phone. A weak battery as always on top. What did samsung think in building a more ugly and unattractive phone then the S4

Gesendet von meinem SM-P605 mit Tapatalk
[G2 General] renawld:
some leakers are saying that it won't cost as much as the usual newly released flagship. Basically made a flagship look like a typical midrange android device imo.

honestly, it looks exactly like the galaxy S2 with a larger screen
[G2 General] shaq1907:
My S2 has broken 3 months ago and it couldn't be repaired so I had to buy a phone in December. I was hesitated becuse of S5, but now I am extremely glad that I bought LG G2. I am suprised that Samsung released such an average flagship model. There isn't much innovation although they release it 6 months later.
[G2 General] player911:
Yea the S5 is months behind with very little incentive. The screen isn't as bright and is bigger overall for having a slightly smaller display. However the hardware buttons will give the S5 a larger play area since it won't have a navbar.

For me, I'm happy I didn't wait and jumped on the G2 when I did. The G2 has a bigger battery and screen but in a smaller form factor. I don't want (ever) a fingerprint reader with a device that has carrierIQ crap installed. Stock TapOn feature of the G2 is awesome too.

The if the S5 had a 64-bit processor, it might have been leading the pack of next Gen, but now its at the back of this Gen. Its a good competitor to the G2 but nothing special over it.
[G2 General] ChrisM75:
64 bit would have made no difference at all.

I agree, the S5 looks a bit weak for a brand new device that has to survive a year. Some of the camera features look nice and some of the other features are good, but the hardware is VERY disappointing. The g2 looks like a much better device, and a few extra features here and there would keep it ahead.

Lets see what KK really brings us. We still dont know really, AT&T devices are crippled by design and the Korean unit is unlike all the others.
[G2 General] Cst79:
From the moment I saw the LG G2, I knew that LG spared no effort on that phone and it will be current for a long time. Latest chipset, a 5.2" screen, 3000mAh battery and optical image stabilization while being and still remaining smaller than all the other flagships with its incredibly thin bezels. And I couldn't use a phone without the Knock On feature anymore. I don't need another phone for at least 1 year or even more.
[G2 General] matheus_sc:
Gs5 sucks, Samsung make a great mistake today
[G2 General] Fstall303:
I agree that it is not the most attractive phone, but I actually see what Samsung is doing here. For the average person and not tech nerds like ourselves, the top of the line crazy specs do not sell phones. Simplicity with a few distinguishable marketable features sell phones. I love the screen to bezel ration on my LG G2 but alot of the public can overlook that for the finger scanning feature which is the reason for the larger bezel. To add features like 3 gigs of ram or 2k display is just not necessary to the average customers. The screen looks great on the GS5, they can market the finger scanning, and that back is very nice and one thing I do wish the G2 has. I have been saying since the Nexus 7 2012 that phones should come with that back, If it feels anything like that then kudos to Samsung. My point is if they can add those features, market it like crazy the way samsung does, and keep the price point lower then new flagships traditionally are, then Samsung will definitely have a winner. Even if our G2 is still on par with its 6 months since its release. That being said.. I am staying with my G2 :)

Innovation is not easy! What more can they add in a phone? I predict a trend of customizable phone in the future!
[G2 General] renawld:
idk considering how aggressive Samsung is in the common consumer market, we expected more. You know the motto "Apple always been the same since day one.". There's a hint of irony in that statement in regards to the new S5.

The concepts that people designed were way off. All that hype lead to disappointment
[G2 General] Rado_vr6:
I wasn't even remotely close to impressed with the unveiling. I truly thought they would have made a PREMIUM phone for a change. The Z2 definitely deserved all the spotlight this time around. Still, my N5 and G2 get the job done just fine and I'm amazed at how slim these bezels are.

Samsung really needs to go back to square one and get things right. Touchwiz is atrocious to say the least, the design of the phone isn't all that great to begin with it, and a lot of the added software features cripple the mediocre battery life. It truly is a shame Samsung has fallen behind the curve.
[G2 General] renawld:
i agree. The Z2 should be the unsung hero of android's high end lineup @ MWC. In terms of general hardware, the Z2 pretty much outclasses it; 3gb of ram compared to SG5's 2gb, snapdragon 801 compared to S5's 800, 3200mAhr battery compared to S5's 2800mAhr, and imo, it looks much more classy/prettier. Nowadays we all know that specs dont really matter, but really, numbers don't lie.

And let's not forget that gorgeous Xperia ui. According to Android Central, the whole ROM itself on the S5 takes up about 8gb . So basically you're buying a 16gb phone with 8 gb of usable storage. Well, of course, you could go for an SD card.
[G2 General] noname1x:
In my opinion it is ugly again. The only model that I liked - s4 Black edition
[G2 General] barondebxl:
Honest to God, I think the G2 is so much better than the S5.
[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
It doesn't seem like much of an upgrade to the G2... I'm staying for now.
[G2 General] rinxas:
I've had all the Galaxy's in the past and they were just great phones all around. But this feels much more like a S4s than a S5 (and they said that the S4 was a S3s).

I'm much more excited for the Xperia Z2, though I find it a little too big for the screen size. But I guess that's what you pay for glass and aluminium construction and ip57.
[G2 General] bender_007:
Thank you S5, now I like my G2 even more than before :P :)
[G2 General] matheus_sc:
Me too, i have ali galaxys before, no i see is better, o have meenova, g2 is almost perfect

Ooops.

Someone dropped the tray.

It was supposed to be about DESIGN this year, I don't know how they missed it.

Technology will be incremental until next year, then screens/batteries/mini SD/wearables begin.

This year was design. In fact when LG get down to their G2, I hope they have a stylish replacement in mind.

The year will go to HTC and Apple, and Sony with the Stately Z2 and gorgeous Z1 Compact.

Samsung hasn't been listening.

Then there is Huawei.......
[G2 General] robin786:
Nokia stabbed right to the point in the Twitter with 'Samesung' moniker. S4 looks way better than this. Samsung are getting greedy & they will pay with losing their top seller crown. Other phone makers are really stepping up on the competition.

Sony Z2 is quite handsome. Wait till HTC One 2 arrives

[G2 General] paniro187:
with all due respect. stfu. Most people complaining here and everywhere would not have liked ANYTHING samsung dropped. stop acting like you would have. Most were downing the s5 before it dropped and we're already ready to not like it
[G2 General] mackster248:
While I like the G2, and other devices for that matter, more than the S5 let's not get carried away here. Samsung knows what they're doing, they are catering to the general public, not to people like us that care about specs and all of that. The S5 will still be the most sold Android device this year when it's all said and done.

Yes, most of us here may not buy it, but everyone else around the world will. Samsung has done a great job in building their Galaxy brand.
[G2 General] Seraz007:
Samesung meh..
[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
That is the truth. Minor design changes work for both Apple and Samsung. The S4 sold like ice water in death valley, and the S5 will sell even better. Boring as it is. And lets be honest here. The G2 is no wonder of industrial design either. It looks ok, but noone will get all that exited over it.
[G2 General] sacredsoul:
The Z2 looks like a dream but unfortunately it's still on the S800 chipset instead of the S801 as previously reported. S5 on the other hand is just meh.
[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
Yet I would def. pick that one over the S5 :)
[G2 General] sacredsoul:
I am trying not to get tempted by the Z2 but DAT GLASS :cool:

I am basically off contract now so I could sign any phone. Z2 is top. The only phone that might beat that in the forseeable future is the HTC M8. Might wait till that is annouced before making a decision but I'd pick Sony over HTC anyday unless it offers something undeniably better (I don't care for the 2 rear cameras reportedly featured on the M8).
[G2 General] shaq1907:
LG G2, Xperia Z2 and Galaxy S5 aren't same. It seems that there are 3 kind of S800 chipsets now:

[G2 General] Billy Madison:
Huawei? Anyone buys this cheap hsit?

Ohlol

The AB & AC versions have been well known back in 2013, no news here. And so, does 3% margin in benches for GS5 make any difference?

G2 get 22k in Quadrant

S5 get 23k in Quadrant

So I must through my G2 against the wall and fly in queue for S5?
[G2 General] thebehemoth73:
I was in the market for a new phone after my sg2 skyrocket. I'm SO glad I bought a g2. I was tempted for a s4 but my really good buddy says he should have bought the g2. He stated he has numerous problems with battery issues and after a fee months the UI started lagging pretty bad.I'm not at all impressed with the s5 ...just seems like a s4 active plus...
[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
Better how?

The S5 has a faster SoC, higher resolution camera, slightly denser screen, SD card slot. And it's water proof. The battery is smaller, but only slightly.

If I was to pick between the two, choosing the S5 would be a no brainer. But if I could pick any phone, I would go for the Xperia Z2
[G2 General] thebehemoth73:
Also too another reason why I went against Samsung is yes, the UI has tons of features...almost too many that seem to really hog the system's resources. I feel like lg UI is lighter and just all more around fluid and less buggy than anything I have ever used.
[G2 General] systemind:
Samesung

My current phone has been a Galaxy for the past almost two years and while it's not the worst phone in the world, its been enough for me not to buy another Samesung in a while. Like other person said the Galaxy5 will sell because there's so many people out there that buy things because of their brand or because it's in special at the store and don't care about better options....Samesung doesn't care to make a phone that will run your favorite Rom that nobody knows or with a design that will make you look cool on friday nights, if it sells the way it is they're happy. Im just happy to hop out of my Samesung phone soon.
[G2 General] Rdmkr:
for the average person the SGS4 was already way too big. this takes the form factor in completely the wrong direction where non-nerds / techies are concerned.

barely faster SoC, but its the same microarchitecture so you trade in battery life for marginally increased power. it's not an efficiency gain. higher screen density is a consequence of the smaller screen, so it's a bad thing in disguise; just means you can see less of the detail cause its further above "retina" level. water proofing, sure, but it's a gimmick, and as the flood of complaints about breaking XPeria Zs demonstrate, it says nothing about the general durability of the phone. Camera lacks OIS so it's a blur fest even at 16MP. and where the LG G2 beats the S5 effortlessly is portability; larger screen, smaller body. No, it's not even better than our 6 months old phone.

same thoughts here. my only worry is that they can't keep up this performance when they introduce G3.

Which one? Huawei mediapad of 2012?
[G2 General] player911:
The Samsung S5 is not "waterproof" but rather "splashproof". They said it would not survive submersion. They probably just coat the internal board in some sort of coating but external contacts could still get corroded/rusted.
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
Its pretty ugly, after seeing all these artists' renders, I really got my hopes up. It looks like a toy compared to phones like the G2. Bezels are too big for this generation of phones, only the HTC One pulled it off well with big bezels, just my opinion. I hate AMOLED the screenburn just killed it for me on the Vibrant after 6 months. Samsung makes great SLCDs like the one on the HTC Butterfly/DNA wonder why they don't use them on their own high end phones.

[G2 General] mackster248:
You know, I kind of dislike how many Android fans hate other Android manufacturers and devices. I think we should all embrace each one of them. We're all Android lovers after all.

Samsung is super pivotal in putting Android on the map and making it what it is today. I may dislike the Galaxy devices, but without them, Android devices would not be what they are today.

With that said, I'm hoping mainstream consumers take notice of LG more. LG is doing really great lately!

[G2 General] NEROVINCIO:
is better our g2 than s5!
[G2 General] barondebxl:
I don't think it will. The S4 sold 40+ millions but Samsung had estimated to move 80 million. The S3 sold 50+ million, that's last year figure and it is still to this day one of Amazon best selling device. Galaxy S sales are going to decline because of many factors.

1. They all look the same, the S5 is an incremental update.

2. Competition has caught up and even dare I say surpassed Samsung in some areas

3. Many consider the note 3 superior to the S5, the note 3 is a cheaper device and now that the S5 was announced, folks are gonna go get the note 3 instead.

The galaxy s 5 is going to sell more than the other Android flagship yes, but I bet you it won't beat the sales of the S3. Back then Samsung was clearly the best, HTC was a distant second and LG, Sony and other OEM didn't matter. Today we all are actually anticipating an LG phone (G3) , you got the second moto x, HTC M8, Z2 and those waiting for the note 4 and iPhone 6. This galaxy s is not going to sell more than the S3 or S4. Samsung should have taken competition more serious this time.

One last point, I think Samsung is making a mistake not to cater to us tech savys as well. They have a strong core group within the dev community, they shouldn't just have the general consumers in mind. Give us the best specs, unlocked bootloaders, maybe a knox free version would be cool.

And it is not waterproof samsung said that in presantation , have fub for water damage on ur S5
[G2 General] dawheat:
As someone who owns a Note 3, S4 (for work) and G2, I'm mixed on whether IP67 rating is the future or not. Basically it means it's protected against water immersion - Immersion for 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter. The Note 3 is my primary phone, but I don't want it larger and heavier than it is, even if it gains IP67. I'll reserve judgement until I hold the S5 in hand.

However - like the Xperia Z1 and Z2, the side effect are thicker bezels and a bit more weight. Without it the S5 likely would be looked closer to the G2 than anything else.

On one hand - it's one of those things you'll thank God for if you have an accident and it saves your $600 phone. On the other hand, you could go the full 2 years and never 'use' the feature. You also get a stupid flap at the bottom.

Time will tell whether the fingerprint scanner and heartbeat monitor are useful or not - but Samsung has opened them up to developers and history has always shown 3rd party devs to come up with some super stuff. Things like having a certain finger open the phone in 'normal mode' vs 'private mode' vs. 'guest mode' vs 'child mode' could be interesting.
