I've never owned an LG Android phone, considering the G2. Wondering how bad they are about delayed Android updates?
They deliver updates like couple times a month for a current flagship. Then after a year or so they forget about it. Then move onto the next flagship.

Thanks! And I see that development is pretty active for the Sprint LG Optimus G, so that gives me hope there will be good community support through a 2-year ownership cycle.
Luckily your not going to be dealing with something like the g2x. That phone lost support from nvidia which made it impossible to upgrade the os. This snapdragon soc will get good support for 2 years at least

Hopefully CM will start making builds and LG's updates will be irrelevant.

The G2X is what has stopped me from going back to LG. Took one year to go from 2.2 to 2.3 and it was a ****ty update that made the phone worse. Worst part was out of the box the phone would reboot or crash for no reason so I desperately needed the update. That was years ago so maybe they learned but in general I don't trust LG with software at all. Real shame

Poor you own Old/2011 LG Phone
But now LG software is good, they learn from mistake
from ubergizmo
"The other thing that should not be underestimated is LG’s progress in software and product planning. 18 months ago, few people would have believed that LG would be where it is now. This has gone under the radar, but when I was in Korea, I found out that LG had invested enormously in software engineering since, and it shows: just like with the G Pro, the LG G2 user interface is nearly always fast and fluid. This is arguably the most important difference if you want to compare it with the Galaxy S4. "

I was burned by HTC with the Rezound, so that's why I'm skeptical about getting the HTC One over the G2.

Guess what G2X didnot recieve an update, but international O2X got 3 major updates.
1. Froyo
2. Gingerbread
3. Ice Cream Sandwich.
Though we run 4.3 on it very smoothly..

Says the guy with a HTC One. HTC consistently burns people and has burned me more than once. I will just go with the better phone in this case. The G2.

Funny thing was my LG G2X was one of my favorite phones.
It had a screen light bleed issue, I remember I had to do 3 exchanges to find one that had only a decent amount of screen bleed.
It was also my first phone to crack 5000+ in Quadrant once overclocked. I was in awe lol.
Never had any issues with the software..
My biggest concern so far with this phone is the fact that it is made by LG. I am currently using a G2x, which I've had for around a year and a half now. It has honestly been one of the worst Android phones that I've owned. I haven't been following dev support on other LG devices, so I'm curious if there will be a decent dev scene or not. From my understanding, the reason LG stopped updating the G2x was because Nvidia wouldn't provide the necessary support.
I'm debating if I should get the G2 or just go ahead and get the HTC One or the S4.
The g2x was my first Android and I loved it. To the average consumer it was fine, but the lack of support was discouraging. I bought the G2 because honestly I'm tired of flashing roms and if there is zero support I think I'll still love the phone. The ui is very customizable. I dig it. I'm debating on even rooting. This phone has totally impressed me.

I also love the LG os. it's 1000x better looking than touchwiz and performs better. If I could never get a custom Rom I would live. I only want a circle battery and removal of the att text in my status bar.

Hey Guys, i am a RAZR MAXX owner here and really tempted with LG G2 because of the price here and its technology (mainly the GRAM) and its battery life. However i am put off by the software side though, as it is a bit too cartoonish for me and i really hate those overblown statusbar buttons and some LG history of late ROM update. So.. should i forget about that and take the plunge? I actually am a Sony fan, but their UI is too elegant for me that i will waste my money on my paid icon themes besides the power consumption of the Sony's (esp the screen) is rather high for now so i thought that maybe the LG G2 is the bang of the buck for me.
So to sum it off, here are my concerns:
+ Battery Life
+ Top class chipset
- LG UI (but that's the main point, so i can replace it with my Nova and Icon pack without feeling hesitant rather than with the Sony's UI )
- almost non existent future update from LG (please CMIIW)
Any input will be appreciated
I came from sony,i used x10,xs,xz and xz1 and i am happy that i left sony and i did not regret.
This is my first lg phone and i love it,i don't know how the updates will be but sony is not that fast.

I took the plunge, coming from an HTC Thunderbolt. LG has already started better than many other manufacturers by releasing a phone with top specs, a current version of the OS (barely behind what is on the Nexus line, not several versions behind like some other new phones when released), and posted the source less than a month after the release. This phone is also easily rootable, the dev's are hard at work on their different projects such as modifications to stock, CM in alpha, etc. Few manufacturers have a great track record when it comes to timely updates or support after the first year, but LG is in the game already with a good start and the dev community should be able to keep this phone updated well past the time when this phone is "older" in the tech world.
I'd say check out the phone, read the reviews, see the support we have already, and base your decision off of that. This is a phone that should easily last me for 2 years or more until I decide to get another one.
G2 is the superior phone & fulfills all your needs. Change the launcher if you don't like the stock one and you're good to go!
Not sure if you are a rooter or not and I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but I'm kind of worried about development for the G2. So if you do like tinkering, just keep the slow start in mind. I love and appreciate the work the devs put into these devices. I do donate, btw. Just wasn't expecting the slow start with available roms. I thought this device's forum was going to explode

As I noticed that you're Indonesian I suggest you to look for a promotion or discount price for g2. I just bought my G2 three days ago at LG G2 Promotion, Central Park, Jakarta.
One of the best deal I've made. Got IDR 1 million cashback (from the original price IDR 6.8mil) and a bluetooth device. As for the phone itself, coming from Nexus 4, I find G2 noticeably faster and smoother out of the box than my N4. I am proud owner of N4 but compared to G2 (stock vs stock), it's way a different world. Only with custom rom and kernel (PA rom and hellscore kernel) my N4 get near the smoothness of G2. Maybe the only thing I miss is that the development here is not as much as Nexus generation devices.

To OP: you don't have to worry about dev for LG. Just sit, relax and this phone will get the ROMs it deserves. If you think LG is bad, think again (I'm looking at YOU, Motorola).
There are so many launchers and icon packs that will replace Lg ui. G2 will also receive 4.4 updates so that will ties your up for a while.
Devs for g2 are doing great works. Root, recoveries, are avaliable. If you are not in to flashing rom you can stop with rooting your phone, and be happy with the things you can do.
Personally I came from nexus device. I flash roms every other weeks to try to get best battery life and smoothness for my phone. With G2 hardwares and battery, I am enjoying stock, forget about flashing and just uses the phone.

First, this is NOT an attack on you personally so please dont take it that way. But what the hell phones did you guys come from that make the dev and forum for this phone slow?! This forum is about to eclipse the size of my last phone that is 2 years old! And that LG phone didn't have anything for several months. This phone already has bootloader bypass and root and a few roms going with more on the way. Maybe it's not as fast as Samsung devices that have millions upon millions of sales in a couple of days, but compared to many phones this is quite quick. Chill, it's coming. My last phone was slow for dev due to small sale base and only one carrier, but we still had official CM and MANY others. There will most certainly be no shortage of development here.

What do you guys think about this tablet?

small discussion here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469018
Even though it's only 1.3" bigger, it's a different class to me given the size. I like it but it isn't really in the same as the 7" tablets. That, and I have had bad experiences with LG supporting their stuff, so if the dev's don't jump on this to get ROM's going, I wouldn't either.
I agree with goofball2k, lg is pretty weak in the support side. I had the LG slate from a few years ago, almost zero development, was not even easily rooted. Not saying that is going to happen here. But I would definitely wait to see it the Dev community embraces the thing before I would shell out money on it, FOR SURE.

So I have a Nexus 4 at the moment and I'm waiting for the nexus 5. I've been looking at the G2 and i must say it looks amazing, I'm just wondering what the G2 is actually like, is it really worth it? (I know you will be biased as its a g2 forum) I'm not fussed that the Nexus 5 will be cheaper blah blah. I want to know how the G2 is on a daily basis.
Also how's the development side of things for the international? Plenty of support and progress?

Tons of people around here are gonna say it rocks. I'm one of them. Development it good everything else is great
I can only speak to the verizon version, but it is great. I have not had a N4, but it is much much better than the Galaxy nexus. The only thing I have done s fix wi-fi tethering, and participate in the camera mod thread. I do not know what the Nexus 5 camera will be like, but the G2 is pretty close to the top like you said the luminas and the experia Z1 May do better. There is definitely room in the software for some improvements(like 4K recording), I think the hardware is there to support a little better photos, but still great stock.
As I have been saying in other threads I also have solid evidence that the G2 has USB 3.0, but with a funky non standard micro-USB 3.0 connector(backwards compatible to standard micro-USB 2.0). From teardown photos I have seen from nexus 5 it does not have a standard or funky USB 3.0 connector. (Sketch of connector attached) I have not found a funky plug to reach the extra pins and enable USB 3.0.
Like a lot of people I like a lot if the standard features of this phone.
Check the other forums comparing the G2 and Nexus 5, and the things we owners like about the phone as well.
According to rumors the release of the N5 is within a week, so you can just wait and see the confirmed specs.

So was my HTC Incredible.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
I sold my nexus 4 for this phone as well.
I used the nexus for a few months and tried various roms, but I've never found "it".
"It" is the feeling I get when I buy something that suits me, LG g2, car, wife.
This phone is a keeper, I don't even want or need to flash a custom kernel/rom.
Edit: I was looking for the nexus 5 as well, but the camera/battery is not good enough for me and how I use my phone.
I personally don't see a reason to wait for the Nexus 5 (although I'm kinda waiting too just to see the official announcement before I pull the trigger on getting the G2) considering the G2 is so similar and even has better specs in a few key areas. I fail to see the fascination with Nexus devices considering this is Android and Android lets you do what you want, there are already plenty of closer to Aosp ROMs if you don't like the Lg skin and I'm sure the great developers will work as quickly as possible to get 4.4 onto the G2 once it is released. I could understand being confused about whether to get the G2 or some totally different device from a different manufacturer, but if the Nexus 5 is the main thing you're comparing to, the G2 is a nearly identical LG device with a better battery and camera so why make yourself hold out for the release of a lower spec'd device.

one thing for sure the G2 will be much more comfortable to hold. The shape of the N5 is not very comfortable to hold. My Optimus G was same shape and not comfortable to hold mind you it still is an amazing phone. Also battery on N5 does not look promising.

I am also holding off on the G2 just to see what the Nexus 5 is offering for the following reasons.
1. No one knows if the leaks are 100% accurate, Google could surprise us.
2. I just moved to a new area where my current phone service BLOWS (Sprint). When I get the Nex5 or G2 I want to try both TMO & ATT, the Nex5 will work on both fully but from what I understand the TMO G2 is missing some LTE band (no idea if I need it)
3a. Can't hide the friggin soft keys on the G2 unless you root.
3b. Rooting trips some flag that gives LG an excuse not to fix your phone.
3c. No way to un-trip that flag that I've seen.
If any of my above reasons are wrong forgive me. I'm just going off of info I get in this forum and on Youtube.

Coming from someone who owns both a G2 & Moto G, get the G2.
Moto G 2015 is a good phone no doubt but no match for the G2.
I was in the same dilemma a fee weeks back, if you're well versed in rooting and roming then definitely get the G2(that's what I did), has a more powerful processor, higher resolution display, bigger screen, better screen to body ratio, etc.
The only issue is the software, as I said if you want a good software experience you'll have to root it.

I was in the same dilemma a fee weeks back, if you're well versed in rooting and roming then definitely get the G2(that's what I did), has a more powerful processor, higher resolution display, bigger screen, better screen to body ratio, etc.
The only issue is the software, as I said if you want a good software experience you'll have to root it.

Thanks. Yes I'm experienced in rooting. That's something that is in favour of the lg, as it is not necessary to ask lg for permission to root... [emoji1]

I'm planning to get one as a 2nd phone for work
The g2 is great to be honest I like it more then some of the phones that came out this year maybe because I get ROMs without ruining the phone or having hard flashing directions
The device itself is great, but be careful where you buy it from. Some people (myself included) have purchased 'frankenphones', devices that are made up of parts from different model G2's.
Thanks. I'm buying it from Amazon. Should be original.
Did you buy it in a Chinese store?

My wife has moto g 3rd gen and my two-years old g2 is still much better (performance, usability) and there are so many excellent custom ROMs like Ressurection Remix for instance, so good choice...

The 3rd Gen Moto G is a good phone as I've just bought one for a friend.
Even though my G2 is still running stock 20H KK 4.4.2, there is no way I'd swap it for a Moto G. Even though the G2 is 2 years old now, you can still see its a premium phone. Battery, Screen Quality, IR blaster, LED Notification Light, Battery.........
In 2 years time, some will still be rocking a G2.
Everybody is praising the lg g2. great.

I received my OnePlus 2 yesterday, but be sure I'll not give up G2 for now. Also Android M AOSP development started on G2, so I'll try to compile it for the G2.
So yeah, G2 is still a great phone.

Do you think that android m from the g3 will be ported to the g2?

I don't think so. If LG won't make Android M for G2 it will be rather hard to port anything.
