[LG G2 Mini] vk512:
Those who buy "minis" don't care about latest specs

Personally I wait 4-6months after release before buying:

1° I can see how it fares IRL other a couple of months across forums

and 2° the price drops very fast.

G2 mini was released too close to G3 mini announcement so its price fell even faster. I got mine for under EUR200 (that would be USD150) which is a great bargain.

Also I wouldn't wait for G3 S/Beat (mini) because it is way bigger (5", that's why it couldn't seriously be tagged as mini!!). G2 mini is great since they fit a 4.7" display within 2.6in/6.6cm while others with the same width only have 4.3" or 4.5" displays (Moto G) and are heavier.

...and G3 S/Beat also sports a s400, "only" 1GB RAM and 8MP camera. The price is set at EUR350 for those who wish to buy it when it hits the market (mid-Aug in Germany): smart move, really?
[LG G2 Mini] Temas3D:
Somebody knows if somebody is developming a rom for this phone? I was released 3 month ago more or less.

At less android 4.4 pure, not whith Optimus IU

Thanks guys

[LG G2 Mini] Zaaap72:
So many people here.

Why don't you start to port a ROM instead of crying around.

E.g. How To Port CyanogenMod Android To Your Own Device

The sources for our phones are available from LG, just google it.

I have already installed Ubuntu on an separate HDD and build AOSP for the emualtor and it worked.

Now i'll try to get a working recovery.

So come on and try not cry!
[LG G2 Mini] cripii5:
lol I have not read the first post. I just post here to say, hey, I have a G2 mini too because is a great phone.

Zaaap72 is right about it. Don't expect something from anybody, Less talk, more code. This is something I saw a lot of time in PS3 scene forums.

Sorry for my bad english

Got mine yesterday, battery life is amazing.

[LG G2 Mini] zyper95:
Just like any other devices, if there are any major firmware update for your current ROM you will need to unroot the device before installing to avoid any problems/issue. There are ways to unroot your device either the rooting process you use has an option to unroot the device or try installing the SupreSU by Chainfire since this application has the option to do Full unroot or you can flash the Stock ROM using the LG Flash Tool then download the update and re-root your device.
[LG G2 Mini] ignasigh:
New user here...coming from HTC Sensation who decided to brick herself :silly:

What I do like so far:

1- Size (5.5 or greater cannot be handle IMO)

2- Battery life

3- Weight

4- FM RADIO!

5- Price , got it debranded for a reasonable price, not pretending to pay 300EUR or more for an smartphone

6- 4G

Still convincing myself...need some time to "adapt"

1- "UI layer" LG put on

2- Buttons reposition <-- I think I will end up liking that

Cons

1- No LED indicator, though it seems to have a tiny hole close to the camera..wondering what's the purpose of this
[LG G2 Mini] Vagelis1608:
Are you talking about the proximity sensor (slightly visible under light left to camera above the screen)?

It detects if there is something near it (5 cm), apps (like InCallUI) usually use it to detects if your head is near the phone and turn off the screen.

Or are you talking about the voice cancellation mic?

Or the IR blaster (which turns your phone into a TV / DVD / Blueray remote)?

[LG G2 Mini] Jeik:
Hello guys.

I just sold my phone,and found the lg g2 mini for 190 $.

I am in a dillema between the s4 mini and the g2 mini.

The g2 mini is younger,packs 4.4 out of the box,4.7 inch screen,and I tried all the companies except LG,and this phone seems awesome.

However,the s4,even with a smaller screen,has cyanogenmod 11,and I can get it for 20$ less than the g2 mini.

I do have a gtab 2 10.1,so I can overdose myself with cm themes on it,so I wouldnt need cm on the g2 mini,only if it lags on the Optimus UI.

So,to conclude.

Is the g2 mini a better choice than the s4 mini?And is it worth the money?I mean,the phone looks so damn fabolous,but I want an opinion from its owners. :silly:
[LG G2 Mini] francois64:
Marionette

A colleague of mine has a S4 mini:

1 - the battery life is more than worse..

2 - it doesn't have Kitkat for the moment.

For me that's enough to choose...
[LG G2 Mini] cripii5:
I don't know, I don't want to be a fan boy, but I thing the s4 mini have better internal memory and a better RAM. The thing is, don't follow the numbers, you should try to use for some minute both of them, maybe in a shop or something like that. Sometimes the experiencie beat the numbers. The G2 mini is a good phone, unfortunly, I've never used a s4 mini so, after all is your choice, I can recommend the G2 mini but I can't compare it.
[LG G2 Mini] aria_kh:
Optimus UI doesn't lag at all, and this neat and comfortable UI is what's making me happy for owning a G2 Mini for now that there's no custom roms available. You should ask S4 mini owners about this too though.
[LG G2 Mini] Jeik:
The s4 mini has official 4.4 firmware available to download and flash with odin

Plus I can have the port of the s5 features and ui,not the ugly gimmick,but when my uncle gave me his lg l7 2 to test the OS out,i drooled how the os is elegant,unlike the cartoonish UI of the Touchwiz

My friend has the s4,I had a clone with 5 inches,which was too big for me,but I don't want a too small screen either.

I care for camera and contrast,and the g2 mini doesn't have as much contrast when put near each other.

I can't find the g2 mini to test in real life tho :S

But with the fact that the phone came out in February,I know that the phone will get the Android L update,which I doubt in the case of the s4 mini.I do have a tablet with cm,so I would need only the easy root method for the g2 mini.In order to install some basic root apps and tweaks.

If the brick rate with rooting the g2 mini is low,I will take it.I bricked my old phone just with rooting,and I don't know if the used,2 month old g2 mini I found has warranty,nor if it is stolen xD
[LG G2 Mini] mogixd:
Another user here. I like this phone works as it should the price is very convenient, but it`s sad that the 1gb ram size gets filled up so quickly.

My biggest hope is that we will get Andorid L. If not I`m going to hate LG for life.
[LG G2 Mini] bihslk:
ME using it right now..
[LG G2 Mini] BananaMuffin:
another G2 mini owner

Hey guys, I've bought this phone a week ago. It's a big step after using hTC HD2 for 4 years :). Before buying it I was considering S4 mini, but at the end I went for G2 mini, mostly due to positive feedback regarding battery life.

Overall I'm happy with it.

There are two major cons so far:

- lack of notification LED

- lack of ambient light sensor

And there is a thing that really starts to worry me is a touch screen issue with screen protector on which seems to occur randomly. I have problems with swiping, that includes unlocking phone via formula and answering incoming call. Unlocking is really annoying, because phone switches off screen when I'm swiping my finger from first point to another. Yesterday touch screen did not respond at all for few hours. Wth and without screen protector on it.

Do you have any similar problems with your G2 mini touch screen?
[LG G2 Mini] cripii5:
Marionette I rooted my g2 mini with towelroot v1 easily, your not gonna have any trouble rooting your phone.
[LG G2 Mini] omidreza:
hi. i bought my g2 mini dual last week and after using lg optimus one, now i am using pretty g2 mini.
[LG G2 Mini] kazmothe:
got mine 3 days ago

i got the g2 mini lte one from globe, battery life is great , screen size is nice, buttons is innovative,..

but the my problems are

brightness at 0 sucks.. texts are not even readable inside the house at brightness 0

Quickremote is ok but ir blaster is locked for LG use only , so i cant use third party IR apps

thats all for now, but the phone is really nice.
[LG G2 Mini] mechpanos:
Hi! I totally agree with you!!!

About the lack of LED, try the APP Prof Reminder... It cant replace the LED, but you wont miss important calls anymore.

About ambient light sensor, try Lux Lite APP...set it on wake mode, and it will use your front camera to sense the light, each time you wake your device. Not a real sensor, ok, but it does the same job.

About the screen problem that you have, try removing your protector and see if it still happens...i thing the protector is not applied very well to the digitizer, and it has touch "gaps" that make the software think it is a knock off!

On my phone, with tempered glass protector, i have no problems at all, just a minor lack of sensitivity but I can live with it!

I dont think it sucks, actually it is quite bright for a zero value! I also recommend to you using Lux Lite!

About Quickremote and ir blaster I agree, but I have to admit that other devices at that price range, dont provide any IR blaster at all!

I think sooner or later, some developper will unlock this (maybe with a custom kernel, don't know!)....

I am very happy that I bought this device over Samsung S4 mini, its probably better and a lot cheaper!!!
[LG G2 Mini] francois64:
I had the same 2Go memory problem. The solution for me was To root (easy) and To use foldermount.
[LG G2 Mini] mogixd:
This works by moving all the apps to the SD CARD? Are`t the apps still going to run on the same amount of ram memory?
[LG G2 Mini] Flamestorm:
I bought it today amazing phone and good at hand.
[LG G2 Mini] kazmothe:
app2sd

this is now my biggest problem.. i only have very limited storage for my apps and i cant copy files to my external card seems write protected i dunno but also apps cant be stored to external disk,, i downloaded order and chaos online since its now free but had to remove all other games i stored , for 1.7gb data file *sigh* xD
[LG G2 Mini] kalavrezos:
new owner here! can you recoment me a good keyboard to download?
[LG G2 Mini] BananaMuffin:
I've installed Prof Reminder, and so far I can say that it suits me better than NoLED. So thx for that tip ;)

I've had already Lux Auto Brightness app, and I can say that it works.

Regarding touch screen issue; I didn't notice any problems for 6 days. I was even speaking with LG support about it. They advised me to restore factory settings and see what is going to happen. I will try that next time when problem with unlocking occurs, and I will try to remove protector to see how it performs.

I did try removing protector once, when screen was not responding at all, and it didn't improve anything. So my suspicion is that it might be a touch screen issue.

Just got mine today. Got it rooted and played a little with it.. I like it very much.

Sadly no roms for it even though it seems like the unlocked bootloader milestone has been reached, but if we're lucky it's possible to cook up an rom based on some of the features included in some of the g2 roms with g3 features

And through those years I've been using the same HTC Hero, with Android 2.1 I went from having the best phone from all of my friends to having the worst phone.

It has been a really good phone, I hope G2 mini won't disappoint.

i have an s duos and now want to buy a new phone. i live in pakistan.. and my budget is 30k.. im in confusion between s4 mini and g2 mini.. i want bigger screen than 4 inch and smaller than 5 inch.. thats why i am considering g2 mini but s4 mini has more ram.. so i am in confusion. :(
[LG G2 Mini] dikz0r:
I bought one 2 weeks ago, i found one problem only, sometimes it laggs, but basically solved after rooting, and unstalling crap apps, and xposed makes a difference, specially greenify, the only thing this phone lacks is a verification led

What improvement do you have with "greenify" ?

Hi, I just bought LG G2 mini for my girl friend yesterday.
[LG G2 Mini] francois64:
I totaly agree with you .
[LG G2 Mini] hode:
Not bad at all. Better then my old Huawei Ascend D1 Quad (1,4 ghz) @ stock. But I think it's a bit laggy sometimes. I find it helpful to close programs, or reboot. Hope CM can provide better. It has on my old Galaxy tab2. But a very nice phone, yes!
[LG G2 Mini] mechpanos:
Hi, hode!

Samsung and GalaxyTab2 is a totally different situation: very bloated software due to laggy TouchWiz, and no updates, Tab 2 (which I also have) is a forgotten device for them! (I used slim rom on mine)

On the contrary, LG supports its products and any additions its ROM has (quck remote, notes, clipboard etc...) do not struggle the device!!!

However, I would really like an open to use quick remote, with learning capabilities and more devices! And I favor experimentation from the developpers, but I would not flash CM to my device to just do it!
[LG G2 Mini] Lukiqq:
I have both of them and really, G2 is better (S4 is more "handy" because of its size and shape).

G2 pros are:

!battery 2460 mAh

IPS screen

overall speed

interface

good xposed framework support (G2 TweaksBox etc.)

probably will get official Android L

G2 cons are:

no light sensor :(

only but enough 1 GB of RAM memory

[LG G2 Mini] SamoScopom:
just bought and my tiny review

Just got my new G2 mini. I love it. The only thing I really don't like is the lack of auto screen brightness sensor (forgot how it is called).

It doesn't have notification diode but I would always rather have knock-code than that small LED. I really design of it.

That low screen res bothered me just for few minutes. Than I downloaded Nova Launcher and Numix circle icon pack and now I don't really see the pixels. I like the small bezels and nice design. Camera sucks but LED is good for flashlight :laugh:

I should get to rooting and get some roms, but I've never done it. So I will do some studying and maybe later get to it.
[LG G2 Mini] copy2050:
Wonderful device!

Hi all, i buy this device 2 months ago and day after day it surprise me! I like the camera quality is amazing, the sound could be better but is enough for me...i'm disappointed with quick remote because isn't complete like G2 is, could have more devices compatible with it.

Screen sometimes look very bad in some applications but for day use and battery safe is good or excellent.

And yeah, can use phone at least 4 days of use (non intensive) without charging the battery, rooted the phone, set less clock in processor than stock and it rocks amazingly anyway.

The feature i'm very happy with is the back lock screen key, i love it and i will only but LG with this type of lock screen buttons because is super easy and helpful.

One feature missing is HD voice in calls, sometimes don't understand the people other side saying because noise and some type of crack.

My phone is Red and BEAUTIFUL in every curve. I'm from a xperia SP and a LG 4X HD and have to say, this device have slower processor, less screen resolution than previous i have, but is better than that.

(sorry for my bad english)

[LG G2 Mini] Socotroco:
Hi all,

I just got this phone for free with a new contract with my carrier (ANTEL from URUGUAY). As an ex-Samsung and now a Sony owner I have no idea which could be the best AOSP rom for this(could be CM based also).

Any ROM to recommend for this beautiful phone? Battery life is important

Thanks.
[LG G2 Mini] Shommey:
Currently, all roms are still in beta versions. Take a look at the Android development room. So far I tried PA, design is beautifull, and rom is really smoth and fast. But, vibration is not working, nfc, and has overexposure on camera. This also stands for any rom currently available, as problem is kernel sided. So, if you want to play head over to development section, or wait some time for more stable relase. :)
[LG G2 Mini] Flamestorm:
We don't have developers, drivers, nothing. I am so bad luck my first phone was Galaxy Ace s5830 no drivers, G2 mini no drivers. Curse it! :@:@
[LG G2 Mini] Vagelis1608:
What do you mean by "drivers"?

LG United Drivers (PC) work with the G2 Mini.

Is there a solution ?

Cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Tuningszocske:
Yes, try to use another .wav-s, which are louder. Jasjar has no volume problems, but default sounds are very quiet. I use my own ringtones, which are so loud that my friends hate when it rings, they are scared then. :) Or You can edit the volume of the high-middle frequencies (3-5 kHz) of the default sounds with a sound editor software (for ex: Sound Forge), and normalize to 0dB. It will be much louder.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ayoubadri:
yes it is working it have some bugs but its working

i don't think that the phone "dosen't go to the sleep" is a big problem in that case because AM-OLED screen don't consume much power when they are in black mode, just like the S5 when you use the power save mode it turn every thing black and white so that screen don't use much power to save battery

i have use that app like 2 days now and battery draining is not noticeable at all, the Rom i use ( imperuim rom ) hold 23 hours in standby mode when i used this app its 22 hours 20 min i mean u can give a few min of your battery life to this great app
