Black G2

Is there gonna be more colors available soon....I'd prefer a black g2. I hope they don't do this like the nexus and keep one color. Non Tech ppl night not get it bcuz of it being so called "ugly"

There hasn't been information about additional colors as far as I have heard for the G2. T-Mo seems to be saving all the colors for the MyTouch HD (Confirmed that the phone will come in Black, Red, White, and Eggplant Purple).

How is the steel finish ugly lol... Black looks cheaper imo... even after having a Black G1 for so long...
But anyway, I really doubt this will be a phone released in multiple colors, based solely on the steel battery plate.

if you wanna change your phones color just go buy a skin or something, i think this phone is straight.

FWIW, I think the phone looks much better in person than it does in pictures.

I think people that are worried about the phone's color are....
...odd

I swear HTC has this thing for asymmetric and 2-tone color designs, which I don't quite understand and can never seem to appreciate. There are several phones from HTC that I really like but really hate the color of. One example being the Nexus One.

This.
Honestly I thought I was going to hate looking at this thing, but I bought it because it seemed like the perfect replacement for my trusty yet aging G1.
Once I had it in my hand, I realized that pictures don't do this phone justice. Part of the reason for this, I believe, because the darker color at the bottom of the phone gives the impression of angling in sharply at the trackball, but that's an optical illusion.
Of course taste is relative, but I think the G2 looks great, both front and back.

Not really, in the HTC video there is a white Desire Z, which should be for G2 only
the color of the G2 may seem a bit too 'business' for some
just wonder why they are that conservative this time when there are 5 different colors for the G1

[Q]'s about the G2's S-TFT/LCD screen

Is it me (or just my G2), or does its whites look very warm? im coming from a TP2 which has white whites, and not warm/dim whites.. im using the screen test app to look at a full white screen at 100% & 50% brightness .. 100% gets whiter (less warm) by just a bit.. and 50% is really warm.. also, if u look closely (at an all white screen), u can see vertical lines (parallel up and down).. about 10-15 of them.. is that just me also?

Ok so I just compared it to my TP2, and there's a biiiig difference between the two whites.. like I said,, the TP2's white is WHITE.. and the G2 is very warm white/dim white.
So is it my G2's screen? Or is that just how these G2's screens are? But yea, the white on the TP2 is sooo clean, and not off white.

As far as I know the G2 has a super-TFT(LCD) screen so it's different than whats in the TP2.

They're both almost the same basically.. just one has a glass screen, and the other has a plastic screen.
G2 = S-TFT/LCD
TP2 = TFT/LCD

sooo is it just my G2?

So no one knows if my cream/warm white screen isn't normal for a G2?

I think its just you. The whites look normal to me. If you really don't like the white colors on the g2 then justbeeturn it and get another phone.

Whites look fine here. Are you just being super picky or is your screen just defective? Would it be possible to post a video?

White S4 Users: Does the Notification backlight and notification LED bleed?

My GF has a GS3 and jeez I find it absolutely ugly that the LEDs bleed through the white case. It might be the case for the S4, but here's to hoping Samsung fixed this?
It really cheapens the phone a lot, and next to my Nexus 4 and Nexus 10, it looks even cheaper.
Anyway, I'm considering an S4 white version, but I'd like to know how the LEDs look.

Yes it does bleed out. As well as the buttons. I don't find it that disturbing however.

I see it does somewhat here also but the reviewer noted the notification LED seems to bleed less. I definitely agree. The notification LED in general is smaller than the S3 even in the dark phones, so it's a plus. Compared to my gf's phone, the video looks awesome.

This is odd as on my white note 2 the LED does not bleed. I have the black S4 now tho... looks cooler to me.

Lg g2 white or black?

ordered the white version but still debating which one looks best.

I'm gonna get black because verizon tells me which color to like.

Black is best IMO, so sleek

If you hate fingerprints on your phone, then the white one is best. But I think the white ones look cheaper and more "plastic" in appearance. The black ones look better to me.

Verizon says I can have any color I want as long as it happens to be black....

I'm getting a black phone, of course. I'm a man after all.

I like white phones but I rely on the LED notification a lot!
I notice that on black phones the notification led seems more pronounced with the darker surrounding background, on my white S4 I sometimes miss it when I glance at the phone from a distance.
Stupid reason from some but it's a real good reason to choose black for me.

I'm thinking white, my Iphone 5 is white and has the same black bezel around the screen, making it look smaller, but I don't really mind.
White looks a bit more trendy and different. I've only had grey/black phones so up until now and I'm in love with the iphone's white looks. The G2 looks really nice in white too - grabs more attention.
Only one thing - do you think the silver paint on the back buttons might wear out faster?

I own a white G2, I have bought this case for it.
The white looks great, but beware! If you plan to get the same case (which is awesome btw) or any other white rubber case, it will slowly turn into any color it touches the most. Eg. mine is slowly turning into blue, because of my blue jeans! I keep it in my pocket.
Doesn't look that bad, but maybe some will hate it!

I have a white G2 with a black Diztronic tpu case and I love it. The white looks really nice and doesn't show fingerprints without the case.

I also have this case, but in black with my white G2. IMO the white looks more premium and different, but it doesn't really matter once you throw a case on it lol

Coming from a white galaxy s2 I wished to get the white g2 also but it wasnt available at the moment so I went for the black one. Don't regred it tho. Wouldn't change it for the white one now.

I have white in all honestly I love the phone in white it makes the screen and everything pop out more for me. Granted notification led doesn't look the best compared to the black model but I would definitely go for the white. Most people have black anyways and with most cases being black now it just doesn't look good with the phone being black. I have the otter box case and black on white looks amazing with this phone.

I was gonna buy the white one because the black version didn't look good in videos and photos, but when i saw it close up i was convinced to get the black one.

I went with black.
Black and red tech devices makes my heart glow.
Thus, black G2 with a dark red matte case makes me happy.

White with a white case works for me

Yellow tint on screen

I have the Verizon LG g3 and when I compared it to my LG g2, on white backgrounds the g3 screen is clearly more yellow or warm compared to the g2. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Do you think it's worth to try to exchange it for a New one?
Sent from my LG G3

The G2 was actually too blue, as are most phones. True white is slightly creamy to most eyes. Most people are used to white being Titanium Dioxide white they use to colour plastics, cosmetics and ceramics, but that is actually blue.
However the G3 is a bit too yellow, it may fade over time, sometimes it does. I rooted mine and adjusted the screen temp a bit.

The screen on mine is too yellowish for my taste, will get an exchange device tomorrow, if this one will be as yellowish, I will return it immediately and go for another device.
I don't care if the G2's screen is too bluish or whatever, I really liked it's display, but the G3 screen is to dimm and "warm"

Could you post which app/setting you did this with?

I loved the "cool" display of the G2. That G2 is still my favorite phone. Even having the G3, I miss it. Still my favorite display also (color and temp wise).

Just got the replacement, sadly it's display is even more yellowish, so it will go back too the next days, will get a used G2 instead and wait what this year will bring on.
Really sad because I really like the G3, but can't stand the display...

I used Trickster MOD and set the colours to 238,238,255. Its still a little a warmer than my G2, but its no longer beige! Slightly yellow is right for whites, but my G3 was almost brown!
Now I just need to fix the back light, its too dark on auto.

Really sad that people are too used to wrongfully calibrated screens. I even rant to LG with straightly opposite demand a while back http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2299888 and seems like they listened and made a right decision to calibrate G3 perfectly. Their OG Pro had too blueish display around 8000K with almost green yellows, my eyes were bleeding

Not too sad I guess, as white on the G3 looks like there is a yellow screen protector on the screen...
Next thing is that the yellow screen in combination with its low contrast just looks awful.
But everyone has a different taste, so it will look nice for a lot of people, but not for me...

And by the way, why is it so many twin threads around here? Wasn't it better to discuss pro and cons of G3 display in the already existed and full of comments thread as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2782251 ? I think it would be more proper and lead to more constructive way of discussion
