Guys, I think we may celebrate the fact that we bought THE BEST Android smartphone out there. And pour some champagne in glasses:highfive:

And they say http://www.technologytell.com/gadgets/141977/report-lg-fastest-growing-android-maker-us-today/ that

Who-hooooo!!
[G2 General] goodguy25:
The only realistic thing we should celebrate is LG's 'powerhouse return' which some of us did while choosing the phone.
[G2 General] Art Vanderlay:
I'm celebrating right now with some swift browsing and fast nudity :D
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
IDK what exactly powerhouse return means, sorry. Is it a hint that LG's phones fail & RMA a lot?
[G2 General] goodguy25:
Hence the misleading quotations
[G2 General] ClassyCritic:
There will always be the haters saying it was all the Nexus 5. To this I say my phone is clearly better!
[G2 General] goodguy25:
Yeah, I'd pick the LG G2 over the Nexus 5. Feels more of a challenge rooting/customising compared to the Nexus 5.
[G2 General] jeyd02:
Yes LG G2 is definitely the best phone of 2013 In most if not all aspects. Now the LG G3 will be the champion of all this year. I can't wait!!!
[G2 General] ghettobuck10:
Looking forward to the L3 release.....I'm hoping they will integrate the Moto X voice commands and keep all the other gimmicky stuff away. I'm kind of disappointed with the LG smartwatch from the teasers thou. I may have to go with the android smartwatch.
[G2 General] Chris_n00bz:
Yeah, G2 is better than N5 in many ways. As for price, unless you're getting it directly from Google, it's not that affordable. In my country Nexus 5 is being sold for only $40-50 cheaper than G2 and that's the 16GB variant.

G2 is so underrated although it's currently, IMO, delivering best value for price among other major OEM (except maybe Xiaomi with Mi3).
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
Mmmmkay, that's what I'm talkin' bout http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_q1_2014_results_show_123_million_smartphones_sold-news-8402.php

LG grows stronger, fast
[G2 General] Rdmkr:
last time I saw both in a store (Mediamarkt, Netherlands) they were priced *exactly* the same.
[G2 General] bachera:
Mediamarkt is funny, cheap with some electronics expensive with others.

dont even think their prices are market conform.

anyway if they price the two phones the same, either the g2 is really cheap there (which I doubt) or they rip customers off with the Nexus pricing

lg is growing fast because of price quality ratio, once they go Samsung with overpriced flagships the Chinese will grow even further, they are the next Apples/Samsungs. already they are very innovative with product design and user experience
[G2 General] buenarc:
I can agree. LG will get bigger this year!
[G2 General] Rdmkr:
kinda the second... although they probably find they get away with it sales wise thanks to the ridiculously positive publicity the nexus tends to get. for some reason no matter how much the prices get marked up from google's, it keeps getting praised for being cheap and cost-effective.

of course, the LG G2 should be known as the real king of cost-effectiveness in the smartphone world, but among the broad public it remains a sleeper hit.
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
The Nexus everywhere in offline stores costs about 500 euros. It costs cheaply ONLY in Play Store. And only in Play Store. In offline Nexus costs same as G2, maybe $50 or so cheaper

I doubt it, Chinese have nothing of their own, they just compile 3rd party pieces of hardware and sell it to make damping. No own design, no fancy software as Voice Mate or QTransator or QuickRemote

Xiaomi or One Plus aka Oppo phones for another hand cost as much as LG claim, no less. Sometimes Oppo costs even higher because LG's sell in volumes and newer supplies get discounts and cheaper prices, OTH stores and market sell old Oppo phones for old high price

M8 just come out with a new camera gimmick. After watching review, this question hits me - is there a way to shot ZOE, but with all depths, from macro to infinity?

I had installed Stockrom CM10.1 and i want back to put a stockrom. In the rush I forgot to do the wipes before going through odin the StockRom.

Since then the phone does not pass the samsung logo and can not go into recovery mode. I tried to send the CWM, also the ".pit" with Odin and I have sent the RescuePDA. In any case get it to boot the phone and put it into recovery mode, although in download mode it is ok.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] NiceIceDice96:
Boot recovery wip factory resey go to advancec and unmount all then format all reboot download mode then you should be fine
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] berloss:
I can´t boot in recovery mode.

I press volume +, volume -, home and power and the telephone doesn´t boot. I only can boot in download mode.

Thanks

Is there any way of make wipes with the computer (odin or similar)?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MaDaLiNoSt:
I had the same bug. And, you got ramdump mode, probably in the past, you selected from recovery the option ,,reboot to recovery,,. To fix that, you need to press the same keys , but in a different order. First flash cwm 6.0.3.3 (by thewhisp), then , remove the battery and put it back. After that, press that buttons in that order : home+power+up+down

IMPORTANT: YOU NEED TO PRESS UP+DOWN AT THE SAME TIME, AND IN 1 SECOND. (Till you see the SAMSUNG LOGO)

If now you see ,, clock work mod,, wipe data. If not repeat all steps.

It worked 100% on my s6500d, after several hours of trying.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] berloss:
Thank. It works.

That combination of keys is ok. At the first it cost a few, but at the end I got it.

A lot of thanks.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] wgary:
OK, I'm ready to take the plunge to upgrade from 2.17 to 2.24... What do I have to worry about? Super CID unlocking, SIM unlocking, etc.? The upgrade from 1.08 to 2.17 was soooo smooth...

And before you ask, yes, I have read all the threads on upgrading here and on howardforums... and discovered some really useful information. I cannot really tell, however, who is getting "Data Crash" screens when they upgrade. Or why that is happening.

Any hints or cautions? Your advice would be met with many kilos of gratitude, the kind of good karma that will worth far more than a $50 fee.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
I think the data crash problem only happened with people who used the older Lokiwiz02a for SIM Unlock. So use it to CID unlock then use LokiwizMSL 03 to SIM unlock.

That is what I did.

Apparently the older one overwrites to SIMLock segment whereas the new Lokiwiz calculates your SIM unlock code.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] wgary:

****s ****ed.

I have a gs4 was on me7 running hyperdrive 9.1. Hyperdrive had been bugging me to update for months, so I finally did. I had installed 9.1 on my stock rom slot so I wiped and tried to update to rls 15 of hyperdrive. I got a black screen with a pulsing blue led. so I wiped and tried to go to rls 14 same thing. I wiped and created a new rom slot installed rls 15 and got stuck in boot loop. Rls 14 did the same thing here. Then I tried to restore my stock rooted back up and just call it a day, but it didn't work everytime I tried it said failed. So then I went to Odin and tried to flash the stock firmware, being very cautious to pick the verizon one every time. I would say I have downloaded three separate firmware files with no luck even tried a one click stock restore with no luck.

Please if you have any thoughts. I just need my phone to work.

(Edit: For anyone having simliar problems go the this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2705164, make sure you download the pit file and use it, only way to fix it. P.S. and before anyone goes saying I didn't read before I made a post, I have been searching for days and made this post as a last resort because I only found one other post, the one I linked, and no one had said the found the solution.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dazac:
Nerver mind fixed it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] android-incredible:
I think you have to update to Mk2 first.
[Sprint LG G2] DopePedaler:
Any other g2 users having major battery issues? Sprint g2, some apps and bloatware frozen/removed. Rooted as well. Battery dropped 38 percent in 4 hours with little to no use. Location services are off. Shows that android operating system using around 40 percent. Any idea of what is causing this? So far, not loving the update and the issues its having.
[Sprint LG G2] sudosurootdev:
Absolutely not... Quite the opposite. I'm on a custom ROM but I used ZV7 ZV8 & ZVA before with no issues. That's one great thing about the G2 is the Snap Dragon processors are great on the battery, a charge lasts a long time and the battery never gets hot even with constant tethering and heavy usage. You should try the Snap Dragon battery guru app in the play store at: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiam.snapdragon.app which is great for saving juice. Or takes a couple days to get full effect cause it learns your patterns and stops apps from refreshing during times when you don't use them, cuts of WiFi and or data during times when you aren't using it. Also I'd check your battery usage stats and see what processes are draining it the most. Is most likely an app or 2 draining a lot of your battery, so the battery guru will stop that from happening during times that you don't use those apps.
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Its very common after a firmware update for a battery to go outta whack. It may be that you need to recalibrate it. After any firmware update its adviseable to so a factory reset at 100% battery level. Then use your phone normally till the battery dies and phone shuts down. Plug in the phone and let it charge to 100% while off. Turn it on, and use it till the batt dies again. Repeat charging to 100% with phone off.

That may solve your issue. Fully cycle the battery 2x.
[Sprint LG G2] DopePedaler:
Thank you [MENTION=1920101]bigpoppa[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5683755]sudosurootdev[/MENTION] I will try both suggestions. I've got snapdragon app downloaded now. Haven't did a full cycle charge on it yet though. Normally had great battery life, even on aosp roms. Could be that I am just impatient too though haha.
[Sprint LG G2] darkpoe:
Battery life is greatly affected by weak signals. It drives up the power to get you signal
[Sprint LG G2] DopePedaler:
My signal has actually been a great deal weaker since the update. I live in an.area where there is only 3g/1x data. Used to get around 1.8 mbps download...now only getting around 600kbps. Pretty much just sucks.
[Sprint LG G2] joshuajones:
I'm having the same issue. It's wakelock WifiOffDelayIfNotUsed. I've tried everything I can think of, but it's completely keeping my phone from deep sleep.
[Sprint LG G2] DopePedaler:
I did one full cycle charge. Took it off the charger at around 10am yesterday. Almost 21 hours later, sitting at 35%. Doing a little better than before. Bluetooth keeps showing on my list of wake locks but it's disabled.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
I got the ZVC OTA, then I flashed the zvc .tot after accidently deleting supporting services for voice mail (Skyfire Observer and Sprint Extension provider) after flashing Im at 7hrs 30mins Screen Time surfing web with 15% battery left on first day, before that I got little over 6hrs with 0% battery and all the same apps. Do a factory reset after OTA that might help or flash the ZVC.tot for a complete fresh install like I did.

Just an FYI Swype connect is a known battery killer for some its mentioned on their forums and it sometimes runs even when all connect features are blocked.

Another thing block location services when not needed it will save a nice amount of battery life.
[Sprint LG G2] kwdan:
I noticed that this morning. I went into wifi settings and clicked advanced and unchecked "scanning always available". Im using "liquid Smooth 4.4 so I don't know if yours have it.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
I think its a problem with 4.4.2, google is fixing that in 4.4.3. Also make sure Sprint Connections Optimizer is really off.
[Sprint LG G2] thearch1tect:
The only issue I've seen is Bluetooth showing up under battery stats as being used at around 50-55% yesterday with a runtime of over a day. I'm thinking its just a reporting bug since I haven't used Bluetooth at all and I don't see a noticeable drop in battery but if it is using it I'd definitely like to curb it.

anyone with a similar issue or possible idea on fixing it? Running stock zvc unrooted
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
That's weird, never had that happen to me. Did you Factory reset after OTA? Sometimes that helps.
[Sprint LG G2] thearch1tect:
No I haven't. I guess I'll give that a shot. But sucks to have to redownload my apps n such for that.
[Sprint LG G2] jonapunk:
Im getting 30 hours with 3 hours screen on time since the update but i did a factory reset after thr update and dont have all my apps installed
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Do you have location settings and google now enabled?
[Sprint LG G2] wcr84:
I don't get the people who say they get 7 hours sot out of this phone. I have two of these and even with complete stock no after market apps the best I do is 3-4
[Sprint LG G2] jonapunk:
Yes i do tonight ill post screen shots
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
I get 7.5 hrs and 15% battery left at 50% Brightness, location and autosync drain battery a lot as I mentioned before. Also use task manager to autoblock Sprint apps and uncheck Sprint Connections Optimizer it eats battery, Lastly Swype connect runs even when online features are disabled and eats battery, there are many complaints about that on Swype forum as well.

Im mostly on WiFI and have full signal due to Airave (no LTE) so I guess that helps too. All those things add up, I'm sure you can achieve that screen time as well.
[Sprint LG G2] joshuajones:
By factory reset, do you guys mean in settings? I need to reset, but I don't have a computer at the moment so I can't reflash tot.
[Sprint LG G2] palillo2006:
I have the same problem and I never use bluetooth! I have no idea why it shows up.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Yep, factory data reset in settings. Backup all your stuff though.
[Sprint LG G2] stevie13.xo:
I flashed the TOT and bluetooth is showing up as keeping the device awake.. it isnt even on!
[Sprint LG G2] joshuajones:
Factory reset didn't help my Wi-Fi wakelock woes. Bleh, and yeah, wipes sdcard if anyone didn't know. I'm still lucky to get 3hrs screen on time...
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
It might just be wrong info/reporting I just checked mine shows 8hrs wake lol and 19mins use I know its wrong!
[Sprint LG G2] tomc585:
If you go into "other resources" it will show that your blue tooth is off. I'm guessing its just reporting that it ready but not actually on.
[Sprint LG G2] tempest6253:
did a tot of zvc factory reset then rooted . Seems like battery life is much better to me.
[Sprint LG G2] tempest6253:
sorry don't know why the pics showed up twice
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
I gotta jump in here. I also seem to be having my battery issues. Like other my bluetooth seems to be eating battery and its not on. I also notice my auto brightness is really wonky especially at night contstantly adjusting darker and brighter. Lastly I went from 100% to 73% in an hour today with auto brightness set to 40% of max, all services off (gps, sync, wifi, bluetooth etc).

It seems the phone will hold a charge longer than ever when its off and in standby not being used but once you start using it the battery drains like gangbusters.

I never got to rooting yet so im still stock zvc.... and I did do a factory reset after upgrade... Im stumped. I dont see anything glaring to explain the battery drain. I do have the battery monitor app on my phone but its not reporting anything weird I can see. Not that I knkw what it all means but I have some idea.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
I used 50% fixed brightness, try that. Autobrightness is messed up on this phone.
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Thanks for the suggestion. Ive actually tried that but the results were worse. Faster batt drain in my case.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Did you disable autosync, Sprint Connections Optimizer and location services? Some apps like facebook also kill battery.
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
​

Yes, I have. I appreciate your suggestions but I need some more in depth discussion on this. Im not new to the phone or android and I know what to look for in most instances. This time Im stumped. Im trying to recalibrate the batt again too after a third restore. Same results.... and that bluetooth running? I dont get that at all. Im starting to think its a bug or error in reporting, or another service is causing it to run. Dunno. Im stumped.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Try flashing the ZVC.tot because my batterylife dropped after OTA as I think something screwed up. Now its better than 4.2.2.
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Thats gonna be a last resort. I cant see a tot making a difference here. Im still stock unrooted. Im gonna reroot today and debloat and see if that helps any. Id rather have a better idea of what processes are running amok first tho, so im kinda gonna have to root. Anyone know a basic and easily understandable process monitor app?
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Better Battery stats or Wakelock Detector might help.
[Sprint LG G2] sunny4691:
I am getting pretty good battery life, upgraded to ZVC via modified OTA method.
[Sprint LG G2] Dustin7892:
This Bluetooth thing is irritating. Went from 93% to 34% in like three hours and Bluetooth is responsible for even more battery drain than the screen. I've never even turned it on. Just toggled it to see if maybe that's the case and it just got stuck or something. So we shall see. Has anyone reported it to LG?
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
I think it may be a reporting error because it showed like 6-7% use on bluetooth but its not affecting my battery life.

One thing I didn't liked about the z2 was the fact that I don't have an it blaster that I use so much in my g2. So, g3 may arrive here in Brazil in November or December, do you guys think is better wait for it or buy a z2 when it become available here?

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeyd02:
It's hard to wait for the right moment. If you can wait enough then you could wait for LG G3 if it brings the next next Gen specs then you could settle with it for quite a while since they) that phone is going to beast, furthermore you wait for the best worthy upgrade and so on.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leandronb:
I just saw xperia z2 for 1k usd at amazon, wtf. i will wait to see for how much it will arrive here in Brazil, i hope is 650~700 usd. sony brazil already said that it will arrive here with tv tuner, is a good feature to wait this version. i hope it comes with noise cancelling headphones and a dock.

i saw rumors of lg g3, it probably will not feature snapdragon 805, so no great performance bump, but lg confirmed 2k display. i think i will buy z2 when it arrive for a good price, and then if g3 worth the upgrade i will upgrade to it. but if z2 come here for 1,5k usd or more i will just skip it and keep my g2.
