What percentage should I charge my phone at?

I just wanted to know what percentage I should charge my phone at to keep the battery healthy
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Withering420:
What's up everybody i have a question. So every time I use the Spotify app and switch to my music app, or any app that has sound, the sound is gone. I then go back into Spotify and really exit it, then my music will play. I'm on stock at the moment and thanks for the help.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Best would be if the battery level is always between 20% and 80%. So you will get more loading cycles.

BUT: because it takes less time until you charge the next time the batterylife isn't (that much) longer than if you always charge to 100%. Maybe you get a little bit more of livetime because charging over 80% isn't that healthy for a battery. But I'd say that is not worth it. ;)

You mean, if you switch directly from spotify to google play music or something similar, the music of spotify doesn't play? No wonder. Android prevents playing two sources in background.

If you use spotify, exit, go to the homescreen and open for example google play exactly the same will/shoud happen. Maybe I have missunderstood your question?!

Missing menu from Contacts settings

Hello to everyone from a new LG G2 user,

I would like your help on the following issue:

My phone is G2 32GB, 4.4.2 Android, with SW D80220c-HKG-XX

I passed the contacts from Gmail, and they are sorted by First Name. When I checked on settings to sort them by Last Name, I realized that the following two options were missing from settings:

* sort list by

* view contact names as

while all other options were there.

Please help on this

Random question if you use Paranoid Android

Do you guys know that Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta 2 is available for all G2 variants. (Correct me if im wrong). But in PA's official legacy devices the LG G2 (including the VS980 which I have is now supported)?? Has anyone tried this out? Any feedback would be nice.

just google paranoid android legacy devices and you can find it there. (Sorry i dont post so much so I cant even post a link lol)

FYI : I've had the LG G2 Verizon (VS980) for a while now and recently i switched to the LG G3 (VS985). Because i wanted to upgrade and (no offense) it seems like the LG G2 was not being supported by Houston anymore because he's busy. So I was like whatever imma upgrade. LIttle did I know the bootloader is yet to be unlocked and i havent done **** to the phone (Excuse my french). So i'm actually willing to go back if this the G2 is officially supported by PA.

I exit completely out of Spotify making sure it's still not playing in the background, so music isn't playing what so ever. After I switch to apollo and there's no sound, same with youtube and any video on Facebook. Sometimes I have to reboot to get the audio to play right. I am using viper could that be part of the issue?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Now I've got ya! :D Viper? could be... I don't know. Have you tot'ed back or is it just a stock based ROM? If it's the second one, have a look at the thread and look if the issue was posted once. If not, try doing a clean install without any mods (like Viper or so) and try out, if the problem persists.

Even if you tot'ed back, a clean install without mods would help to catch the problem. But that would probably be to much work for you. ;P

OT I'm not that happy with the new quote function. It's not possible anymore to take posts apart. Liked it more in the old XDA version. What about you guys?

I've tot'ed back like six times before I finally figured a lot of this stuff out, so it's not a problem. I'm on pure stock rom with just the viper and xcam mod's, so I'll uninstall viper and see if that helps or not. Thanks for the reply and have a great afternoon.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Don't flash any mod before trying out. Not even Xcam. ;) Because in there are some libraries. And the risk is small, but not zero, that those are affecting this bug. So before you flash/install anything, try out, if the bug persists! ;)

Help! Unable to get into Download Mode.

Hey all. Been running CM11 for a few months, but due to a few annoying quirks I decided I'd like to go back to stock and use xposed to modify to my liking.

I went back to stock using download mode and the LGFlashTool. I've done it before, no biggie. Once stock ROM was loaded, I let it update to KK. I'm now running build KOT49I.D80020y. I tried using ioroot (2.5 and the newer un-versioned option), both are unable to install the exploit. I get a signature verification failed error. I also tried TowelRoot but it tells me my phone isn't supported. So I figured I would wipe the phone again, downgrade to the older version, and root there. This is where I run into a problem.

I am not able to get into Download Mode at all. Looks like I'm not the only one, http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-g2/help/enter-download-mode-t-mobile-lg-g2-t2804370. But I have to think I'm doing something wrong. Is there something on the PC end that has to be configured a certain way? I tried having the LG tool open or not. Rebooted a few times throughout the process. Everything. I still just get the LG logo, then a blue battery picture when I try to go into Download Mode.

To clarify, phone is shut off. I press and hold Volume Up button. Then I plug in USB cord, while still holding Volume Up. Previously, this would quickly bring me into Download Mode. Now, I just get the LG logo for about 5 seconds, and then a blue battery on screen. (This just so happens to be the same behavior the phone exhibits if you plug in USB without pressing any buttons)

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -MaoR-:
I have a rather general question..

What is the best type of cases for protection, you prefer?

I mean.. I see all those generic flexible silicone\gel\rubber looking cases on eBay and they look pretty protective.

What is better for absorbing fall energy than a good flexible case?

Am I missing something? Do the branded cases offer anything better?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
I prefer no cases at all. But basically the thicker and "siliconer" a case is the better it absorbes hits. Usually branded cases fit better onto the device. But if you have luck, you pick a perfect unbranded one and get lucky. :D

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -MaoR-:
Thats what I think but branded cases dont seem to have as much "rubber" as the the generic eBay ones.. Atleast from what I've seen.

I mean.. Why buy a branded one when you have thick rubber cases for a few bucks?

Never had any fiting issues with generic ones.

And do you really prefer no case at all? I kinda hate those thin phones.. It's not comfortable to hold.

A case feels better.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
As already said, some prefer thicker, some thiner, some branded, some unbranded, some plastic, some silocon. Just buy one (make sure it goes around the phone and doesn't just clip on the sides of the phone and your phone will already be way safer as one without anything is.

The thicker and "rubberisher" a case is, the safer it is. Basically at least.

And yeah, I prefer no cases at all. First because of the design and secondly because I dislike massive bricks in my pockets. Just my personal opinion. ;)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -MaoR-:
I dont like the brick effect either.. but... I can't risk it. I ain't known to drop my cellphones but still. I like it safe.

I already have a fake Spigen case. Just asked a general question (:

I dont get people who think that a solid case is better than a rubber one...

How do I install TWRP on LS980 4.4.2 ZVD?

Hello everyone, I am newly suscribed but I have been reading the xda forums since I first had my optimus black. Now I am the proud owner of the LG G2 LS980.

I am currently on Kitkat 4.4.2 ZVD and unlocked and rooted, my question is, how do I install TWRP? I read some formusm but still am not sure how to do it and I am scare to brick my phone. Can anyone help me? I read about autorec but I still worry the phone might brick or something because of downgrading the bootloader.

All I want to do is install TWRP to flash the Split screen mod. I already have the files for the mod.

I attached my software info.

any help will be greatly appreciated.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Withering420:
Download a app called autorec from the forum, it's super easy to use and will install twrp in a matter of seconds. Then if you want the latest twrp 2.8.0.1 search for drgravys on the forum, I believe his has a kernel baked into it so you don't get screen damage.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edd_beltran:
is it safe to install autorec? won't I get the white lines in the screen or brick the phone? it downgrades the bootloader and flashes the kernel, am I correct? I read somewhere that I would lose knock on.

another question, if I decide to install twrp with autorec, can I keep the default twrp or do I have to upgrade? what's the benefit in upgrading? I just want to install split screen mode, that's all.

Double tap to wake

I'm having trouble with double tap to wake, the thing is double tap doesnt work, but tapping the screen rapidly will wake it. I've had this problem on all AOSP roms.

As already said, try out a custom kernel. The devs there have way more time to work out such features than the ROM (and kernel) devs. I'd recommend you (as already said) to try out a custom Kernel like RenderBroken's kernel or the Dorimanx AOSP.

So you get away from this issue pretty fast! ;)

sound quality/loudness through headphones?

Hello,

Can anyone confirm how LOUD does the G2 get while using 16-32 ohm headphones?

Is it louder or equal in loudness to iPhone 5/5S?

Personally I have found this problem in all android devices headphone audio output is just so LOW compared to iPhone...just don't know why & those annoying warning messages that you'll go deaf lol..like really I'm used to listening music way louder than even iPhone at max with my Objective 2 amp..

The only android phone I know of with stock headphone amp is HTC Butterfly it has 2.55V amp..Windows Phone HTC 8X....Samsung devices too a few but they require root hacks & purchase of voodoo louder app then too Samsung doesn't go as loud as iPhone.

Anyway can anyone confirm the loudness in headphones of the LG G2 D802/VS980/LS980?

LG G2 issues

Hello everyone. First post so please bear with me.

Right, I dropped me G2 D802 a couple of weeks ago and broke the digitizer. Bought a replacement LCD & digitizer online and fixed it all up. It worked fine but the screen was pretty poor quality so I returned it and bought another one. That's finally arrived and I've wired it up and everything but now the phone doesn't work at all. Won't even vibrate to indicate it's been turned on or anything. I put it on charge and the front light doesn't come on. The only glimmer of life is that it vibrates when it's put on charge.

So here's my question - could a screen fault be enough to stop the phone functioning at all (seems unlikely but I have no idea what the circuits look like) or has the phone developed another fault while it's been sitting in a drawer for the last 2 weeks (seems equally unlikely)?

Any help greatly appreciated, cheers in advance

James
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Is everything connected properly in there? In "best" case it coud be, that you forgot the battery. Because if you connect it, it vibrates^^ Open it up again and check all connections. And if you had bad luck, you or a broken display (the one you brought in) made an electrical-bypass. An I don't really know, but that could probably have destroyed the whole phone... :-/
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesb1992:
Cheers for your help. I took everything to pieces again and reassembled and now the problem has changed completely - it's working, turning on, charging etc. the digitizer and backlight are working but the LCD screen is just blank. I can feel the phone unlocking when I do the pattern even though the screen's blank so at least I know it's not died completely. Presumably just a dodgy screen so I'll order another one.

if you are on jb you want to use the how to install tarp from the second post but if you are on kk then you want to use autorec but this does not apply to one variant which is the d802t australian variant of the g2, if you use autorec on it(even the autorec for that version) 90% of the time it ends in a brick so basically:

-if you are on jellybean you want to use the the install twrp thread from second post

-if on kitkat you want to use autorec just make sure you download and use the one for your variant or you can downgrade to jb and use the install twrp link

-if you have d802t variant then you cannot have custom recovery on kitkat and as far as I know there is no kitkat roms available for the device
