Im coming off of contract soon, and thinking about getting the LG G2. I was wondering how you guys feel about it after owing it for sometime? Im coming from a Verizon Moto X dev. Edition, how much of a shock ( if any ) will I be in with the LG G2?
Thanks.
Much better hardware though with different features than the Moto X.

Why no interest in the new flagships?

Samsung GS5 has an almost identical processor that's clocked a mere 10% faster. It's better, but not worth spending a lot more. Unless you need a baby monitor for your Samsung smartwatch.

What else is worth looking into for Verizon?

Loving the phone, hating the buttons on the back.
For me, it is the best. Fast and good camera, fast hardware and the rear keys are not so bad. I love the double tab to wake up the phone. And.. i came from samsung, i love the feature to switch the buttons (back, menu and home). The Quick Memo function is also very cool (for screenshots).
It took a little bit to get used to the back buttons but now I'm very used to them there and I love how thin the bezels are because of this.
G2 is an awesome phone. Could've been a greatest one if it has easier flashing methods (for custom recover,roms etc). Samsung phones are definitely the easiest to flash.

great phone
The phone is the best phone i have ever had,i came from the galaxy note2,which was great phone and never regretted my decition,it has amazing display almost no bizzels very capable camera for outdoor shots, acceptable for indoor shots, great battery life,and personally i liked the back rear mounted buttons and i never felt that i need to root it at all.
Go for it it won't disappoint you expect for the build quality which is usual for plastic phones.
Coming from Nexus 4, this phone is definitely worth every penny. It has excellent battery life, camera, screen, processor and a slim design. What else could you ask for? That said, I'd recommend you to wait for One Plus One phone. That thing shape to be a beast although you need to check its compatibility with Verizon network
At this point I would also consider Sonys phones. This phone is fast and smooth but I am not impressed by the camera. I also have signal issues.
I have had it since October and dropped it a few times. It gets small dents along the plastic surrounding the screen but that's all apart from some tiny scratches on the screen. I think it is pretty durable although not completely Nokia grade. Bottom line is in still looks great.

Btw. The camera is not bad but it is just not on par with the competition. But you can do a lot to improve it with tweaked apps. Mine currently does 4K and slow motion. So the default cam app issues has caused the community to make improvements and add some pretty cool stuff.
Bump one last time. Im going to Verizon to swap out here soon within the next week. Thanks guys!!
Mine here work great, the screen amazing. The back button is pretty great(useful) for me, easy to take photo and control volume. Everything great here, no problem at all. For camera is acceptable also the mod from xdabbeb make g2 able to shoot 4k and slow mo and quality is beter.

Great phone. Only regret is build quality and cheap noisy plastics (especially the back).
In addition I must say that nexus5 touchscreen is a bit more responsive.

Just had this phone for 2 weeks. My HTC M7 was getting beat up. Bottom speaker died, Purple tint on camera etc. So i decided to try the G2.
I love the buttons on the back. Took me like 10 seconds to get used to them.
Also as mentioned, LG knows that thick bezels are waste of space. Suck it HTC M8.
Fast and better battery life than M7.
Only thing i miss is the community support that the M7 had tons of. And it was impossible to brick.
Can´t wait for G3.
The phone is amazing. Very fast, I never had any hickups. The only problem I see is the durability. Mine fell from my bed onto a coffee cup. From, like, 40 cm. The fall made a 5mm long, 0,5 mm deep dent on the side both in the plastic and the aluminium layer. I immediately bought the spigen armor case and I strongly advise you to get a case as well. Other than that perfect.
I can say this has been one of the only smartphones thats kept me content without wanting to try a newer device. I dont like samsung and htc's designs inside and out.
I'm patiently waiting for the LG G3

Anyone switched from Galaxy s4 to Lg G2? What is the experience? How it feels? Pros and cons.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
I didn't come right from the s4 I had some other phones in between but.. almost identical in size... similar features plus some... no lag even with the bloat.. ips LCD is soon much nicer than amoled imo... for me a huge thing is being able to turn fast dormancy off which never actually stuck on my s4
Haven't found any cons yet
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk 4
I'm coming straight from it, I just sold my S4 last night. This phone is better in every way imo. It is about the same size but a little bit thicker so it feels better in the hand to me. The ips lcd screen is much better to me. It's much brighter and much brighter whites and more accurate colors. When I looked side by side, I realized how bad the screen on the S4 really looks.
I also feel that the software is very similar but it doesn't lag like touchwiz does. It is also has great features that are actually useful. I found myself never using most of the features on my S4.
I love the software customization options too. It makes me feel like I don't even need a custom rom. The camera is nice as well. I have gotten some nice shots so far.
All in all, this phone has been a great experience and I highly recommend it over the S4.

I'll be in the mountains later taking pictures to test out the camera but my first few last night came out great.
No regrets here. We're going to get along great.

I just got the att version about 2 days ago, switching from an st and I have to say I'm pleased.
PRO's:
Great battery life
UI seems to fly compared to S4 even though they both used about the same amount of ram stock and not rooted
Screen is great. Loving the customization with on screen buttons
It doesn't seem to get anywhere as hot as my s4
There are more pros but my final one I'll mention is the buttons on the back. No accidental bumps hitting the power button holding the phone in landscape
CONS:
Phone is slippery
Concern for update support from lg

Got the G2 on launch day, came from the GT-I9500. So far I can't think of a single con or regret. My only worry is AOSP dev support. (which is one of the reasons I left the octa GS4)
The G2 seems better in every single aspect thus far for me. (the screens are a matter of opinion of course)
Right now I have the S4 an G2. I'm a pretty big Samsung homer and have had the nexus, S3, Note and Note . I work for Verizon, so it's easy for me to get anything I want cheaply. My last lg was the G2x on T-Mobile. I swore I would never use one again after that nightmare! With all that said I love this phone. Battery life is sick, screen is amazing, no lag...just smooth as butter. I find myself using the knock feature all the time. The two things that are holding me back from keeping it are probably the same for just about everyone else. No SD card or removable battery. I put a ton of stuff on my phone from torrents and stream it to my TV. I think the answer might be, sell the S4 keep the G2 and grab a note 3 at launch. not sure my wife will agree with this solution however

Just picked up my VZW G2. I have a loki'd S4 and I'm happy with it. I run PACman on it and really have no issues but I'm a phone junky. I pay full price to maintain my unlimited data so I get a lot of sh*t from people when they see I have a new one but whatever. So far, I love it. Really disappointed the double tap to turn screen off doesn't work on nova launcher but not surprised. Still works turning it on but not of.
I do like the G2. It really feels a lot like my S4 so I'm already used to the feel. A little hard to get used to buttons but that doesn't bother me a bit. The screen Is amazing and I don't have to worry about screen burn in like I had on my S4. I've hidden my soft keys and an using pie... I want my whole screen. I'm keeping my S4 no matter what. As far as the G2, I really hope the Dev community gets into this device. The only thing I missed from TW, was the camera. So went AOSP pretty fast and never really looked back. However, on this device, I'd love to see some way to have the double tap to turn off work on different launchers. Again, I hope the Devs work on this bad boy.
Ultimately, I'll have to play with this a bit longer and see what happens with development, then, I'll decide if this goes on eBay. If the Nexus 5 comes to VZW (yes I know but some rumors say it might but I'm not holding breath) and I get the moto X through work, I'll keep it any way.

Double tap to turn off screen in third party launchers
I had the s4 for a couple days & switched to the G2..
The G2 feels a lot smoother when running vs TW on the S4. The S4 did have a bunch of other sensors (like the front IR for air gestures) - but I honestly don't see myself using them.
My biggest concerns were non-removable battery, no micro sd and how good the radio was. When I checked it out at the store, the G2 had marginally better signal strength. Microsd is solved with a cheap usb/microsd otg cable, and after thinking about it, the battery isn't that much of an issue for me. Plus the G2 has wireless charging - picked up 2 nokia dt-900's for $25 shipped
The G2 is solid!
I run nova prime and my double tap the status bar to turn the screen off works.

bought the s4 and i tried the 5s for the past 2 weeks, both phones did not make me as excited/ kiddish as the note 3.
You will love the look and feel of this phone. The weight is perfect so it doesn't feel like a brick (LG Pro), speed is fast so it doesn't get the lag (S4), big without being too big with bezels (Sony Xperia Z Ultra), OS is complete butter so it is fast (Moto X), while it lacks the external speakers (HTC One) it makes up for it with better sound quality when using head phones. Camera is excellent and video doesn't have focus issues (LG G2). Hope that explains it a little better and compares it with every new phone out right now. I have owned all the phones and didn't mention the Lumia 1020 (great camera, terrible battery and OS missing apps), Xperia Z (love the waterproof but camera terrible, Xperia ZL, same as Z, S4 Active had excellent screen and all around better than the Sony Z line for me. iPhone 5s was same as 5 for me even tho I did like the fingerprint unlock and faster burst mode camera (but not worth the upgrade IMO). Have a good day.

I am. I've been watching people in the international N3 post what an "incremental" upgrade the N3 is over the N2. It's night and day. The look, feel, updated Samsung apps, the fluidity. I'm pretty happy. I haven't gotten it all set up yet and will post something more detailed once I do. I'm coming from an international N2 and was terrified what AT&T would do to their version. All of their apps can be disabled except for the Mobile Hotspot app which I'll need anyway. And I haven't found anything missing yet except the ability to disable the Mobile Data connection. So far so good.
Where are you guys getting the phone from? AT&T says I have to wait until tomorrow.

we got our stock and demos in last night.. im in love. considering selling my s4 for this badboy now.
it definitely feels super nice in my hand, compared to the note 2. my first thought was, it felt like the original galaxy s2, the squarish feel. didnt like it right away but it has grown on me.
how does that plastic leather feel in your hand? Looks so cheesy in pictures..

Well. So far so good. It's a whole new world for me. I left Sprint for At&T after being with them for years. I'm on my first real Samsung phone after having every HTC since the Hero. I'm liking this phone a lot so far...but I do hope root access is gained eventually. There is a lot of carrier bloatware crap on this phone I'd like to ditch.
Happy new phone day everyone! Woohoo, am I psyched to play with my new phone. Now if work would just stop getting in the way of me having fun....and there was a custom recovery and root access...that'll come in time though, I'm sure.
--Mike
I was amazed how light it is for the size, and the screen really pops. I look back at all the hand wringing about the PenTile display and realize how silly it was. Looks incredible.
Basically, because my family is switching from at&t to Sprint and paying a quarter of a family plan is way cheaper than my own plan, I also have to switch to Sprint.
I refuse to downgrade on my phone, because I'm really not feeling anything slower than a dual core with 2GB RAM after being spoiled by my galaxy s3 for so long.
The options in my price range right now are the S4, the Motorola G, and the LG G2. Of those three, the G2 looks the most appealing because I'm a big dude with huge hands (wine bottles look like beer bottles in my hand) and the volume rocker being on the back seems way more intuitive because that's where my index, middle, and ring fingers rest with my pinky cradling the bottom of the phone.
So, design and specs wise it's a no brainer, but what do you guys think about the stock experience? How is the camera in real life usage? Is the battery life decent? (I know that last one is extremely subjective based on how the phone is used)

Yeah this phone is a straight beast and is better than the iPhone 5S and the Note 3 and I have owned both of those devices. Battery is a beast and the way LG handles Android is phenomenal! You won't regret it.

Thats for battery.......for the experience, this phone allowed me to change icons out of the box....to me no need for a launcher which is great......lag wise: never experienced any.....redraws are minimal.......camera is on par with competitors......all in all, best phone experience i've had since i started using androids probably 8 yrs ago!

Guys, to not open a new topic, I'll ask some questions here. I have a Note3 but I can't get used to it since is too big. Looking on Nexus 5 thread, it seems that is plagued with many defects (dead pixels, low volume, bad battery...). I can't see any other replacement since in my country G2 is actually at the same price as G2.
Here are my questions:
1. How is the process of flashing custom roms and reverting back to stock in case of warranty problems ? As you may know on Note 3 there is a knox flag which invalidates warranty if a custom rom is flashed. So how is on LG G2?
2. How is the back of the phone feel ? Doesn't give a feeling that is slippery ? Can it be hold confortably ?
3.I see many complains that you hear noises when you hold/press on the backside of the phone. Is this true ?
4. I see that there are many variants, I am from Europe and I want a variant which is compatible with cyanogenMod. Which one should I get? D802?
5. Can somebody which owned maybe a Nexus 4 or a Note 3 how it feels in hand when used ? The size is not too big ? I really find the n4's form factor as the best for me.
Thanks a lot.
1. You can flash back to stock without any major hassle.
2. The back is slippery and a fingerprint magnet. Grab a case, you won't regret it. This phone is too fragile.
3. No, just because a few had that issue, it doesn't mean every one has it. Mine creaks but follow #2.
4. yes D802 for EU.

Thanks a lot @vPro97
Is it too fragile because of the plastic used or because of small bezels ? Unfortunately I never use cases. This is a thing I need to put more thoughts into.
I forgot to ask about the screen, anyone having backlight bleeding ?
Woot. I did it. I now own the Sprint LG G2!

at least Verizon's G3 will be (almost, f*ckin' ugly logos) the same as other versions.
G2 to G3 is a evolution, not revolution, but both phones are awesome, i mean, G3 WILL be awesome
because G3 is on Snap801 (at least Korean version) then G2 should get the custom ROM with new UI very fast, I also hope that G2 will get new UI officially.
What's snap801. A type of processor?

From experience, get a good case (I use Spigen Slim Armor). The G2 is an awesome phone, the best bang for the buck, but due to such small bezels its main trade off is fragility. Even a small drop hitting in a corner will shatter the screen, as the plastic edge deflects into the screen before it rebounds on impact. Looking at the G3 I think its the same. Having said that, definately get a G3, LG always gives more/better features/hardware for lower cost than the other major companies.
If you have patience wait for G3, if not or your phone is almost dead buy a G2. I got myself one yesterday. Battery life insane, GPS measures so accurately that honestly I cant believe it...
i love my g2. its big enough but not too big and the hardware is really good. I use the cloudy flex and my battery life is amazing. 2 days with wifi and bluetooth in daily use.
Just wanted to see how much people like their G4! I personally love mine and think its the best phone I've ever had so far.
I believe you need to be on computer browser to vote.
BTW, no root and twrp for the G4 H811 is driving me nuts, so this poll will keep me temporarily sane!

9 for me. Love it.
I put 9 I guess based on the descriptions it's between a 9 and 10 for me, there are some small things that need to be improved like the missing taps on the touchscreen, terrible top pull down menu-everytime i scroll across I find myself accidentally turning off or on something I didn't want to, screen brightness at max level is a little underwhelming ...etc but nothing really deal breaking for me. Overall I'm satisfied with battery life.
I would not return this phone for anything else out there at the moment-that pretty much sums it up

I put 9 I guess based on the descriptions it's between a 9 and 10 for me, there are some small things that need to be improved like the missing taps on the touchscreen, terrible top pull down menu-everytime i scroll across I find myself accidentally turning off or on something I didn't want to, screen brightness at max level is a little underwhelming ...etc but nothing really deal breaking for me. Overall I'm satisfied with battery life.

Some of those thing could probaby be fixed with an update or custom rom.
My deal breaker was wireless charging. But now that I installed and modded a Chinese wireless sticker, that put the icing on the cake for me. Look for that thread if u want one.

At an 8. Phone heats up kinda quick in my opinion. And i thought the battery would last alittle longer that it does
10 for me. Coming from a LG G3—>Note 4->Note 4 Edge->Nexus 6 to this phone. Im just waiting for the ordered skinomi glass screen protector and verus verge gold case. I got the gold plastic back version of the phone. Also waiting for Supershieldz glass protector， spigen carbon fiber case， i-blason prime case，and UAG ash case w/glass screen protector.
I'm an Lg loyalist in all my electronics. I loved the G2 and had none of the problems others had on the G3.. Until Tmo effed up lollipop, It was the best for me. I love the G4, but I honestly expected more, especially from the battery. Overall I am still happy with it and like the look, shape and feel better than the 3, but the G3 just ran better for me. I do love having smart lock and the other additions. I hate that they removed smart screen and Tmo again left off the user accounts though. I get better signal than my other phones so that's a plus. Who knows maybe this replacements battery will be better and I'll be happy, I have never been a custom rom kinda guy. I like the Lg stock experience and really just do a few simple mods and tweaks to fine tune it.

Mine only gets hot when uploading to my google photos. Battery life seems better than my G2.

I had that gold case. Looked very elegant but was too slipery for my taste. Ended up getting the gold Spigen Neo Hybrid case that has a nice grip to the back.

Ehh not sure maybe 5. Coming from s3,and note 2, 3, 4. Maybe my hopez were a little high. Becore samsung i was huge htc guy. I was hoping to gdt away from sammy because i dont want anything that looks like and iphone. But my battery is terrible and i miss having a physical home button because when im in the camera app. I always seem to end going home. These may just be gripes i have. I really love the leather back and the bomb photos they have. Something is missing from my note4. I cant put my finger on it but i have two more weeks to figure out was it is

I've been around the flagship block that last few years: Note 3, G3, 1+, note 4, Nexus 6 and now G4. I've been rather schizophrenic about it, the missed taps and studdering are my complaints, but I's sure a custom ROM will readily nix these, so I'm staying with the G4 to see what the note 5 will look like.
Rated it at 9....pretty damned spiffy.
given the criteria, I gave it a 10, I've had a tilt 2, LG T501, Amaze 4g, G2, G3 and now the G4 as well as the following work phones droid maxx, some other droid with a keyboard and LG gs4 and HTC one Mini. The LG G4 is better than all that have come before and I do love it.
Compared to the G3, better contrast/colors, camera, volume, battery life, BT audio in my car. If I had one complaint is that I don't care for the metallic boarder, it will eventually chip and look ugly for those that go without a case. while it's no game changer, it's a great evolution of the platform. now if it had the battery life of the G2 then I would give a 10+.
8.5
9.5 so i went with 9. Size is great and reception is phenomenal with lte going fast and bluetooth connection taking little time to connect. Could list positives for days.
Gripes:
#1 Auto brightness - indoors its too light in good artificial light and darkness. Makes viewing angles bad. Hopefully they can update it to be brighter. Outdoors is great.
#2 Concept software unpolished. There should be more smart options (work settings maybe or other setting options). Same goes with dual screen mode.. Limited apps.
#3 G4 bootloader struggle... I plan on having this a while but it sounds like a xda bounty mission.

I give mine an 8. You can fix #1 above by using the free play store app lux lite

2. I'll most likely return it. My touchscreen misses taps (especially during knock code input), has issues charging, and isn't rooted (yet). I have the 810. I came from a note 3 which is a beast of a phone and I can't justify paying for this phone when the note is better in many areas. I'll miss the G4 camera, though.
5
10 - if bootloader unlock is achieved

9 For me as well. I love this phone. The only improvement could be the battery life for on screen time along with the restoration of functions removed by VZW. Aside from that, it's a great phone and personally I'm glad I had chosen it over the S6/S6 Edge.
