[Q] Thinking about getting a G2... thoughts? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I hope it is ok to post this question here....
So I drowned my HTC One X today and, looking at prices, I came across the G2 which isn't all that much more expensive than the discontinued HTC. I guess that's because there's the new G3 but that one is way too big for me.
What are you general thoughts on this phone, are there problems I should know about, hardware of LG support wise? I never owned an LG mobile before nor do I think I know anyone that does. Also, and I swear I tried to google all this stuff out before posting, but is the international version of the phone the AT&T one?
Cheers!

I've owned a couple LGs now. Before my G2 I had an Optimus G Pro. The g2 is definitely a beast of a device. Screen issues do exist though, and they're not very uncommon. My buddy's screen actually got the flickering issue earlier tonight right before my eyes. I've never had an issue and I highly recommend this phone, but I'm sure other owners would try their best to steer you away from the g2 simply because of issues that LG released the phone with. Its really up to you though. Hope my input has aided in your final decision

Yes it did, at least now I'll try to find out how prevalent those problems are or hw far along the line that sort of thing might happen. The HTC had what I'm assuming is the same issue, plus problems with the wifi antenna but seemed to be something restricted to the ones made on their factory in China.
Well, I have the weekend to figure it out and, meanwhile, I'll use a Nokia 6300 I found o the back of a drawer Gods, do I feel naked without a smartphone
------
Edit: So I managed to get a used one for a good price out of ebay and it was pretty much out of desperation. It's an 802 so I'm hoping I don't have to deal with the restrictions of a carrier specific model which I tried to read on, only to decide I don't want to go through again like I had on the HTC.
Thanks guys!

Outraged with G2's issues, exchanging for the MyTouch Slide. Opinionate, please.

So, I've had the G2 for two weeks. And I'm disgusted. I've been getting alot of issues with restarting, forced manual rebooting, and the form factor itself. At first I thought the z-hinge was alright, but now its just annoying. It falls down during certain elevation situations, and scares me ****less, because I feel like I'm gonna snap the dammed thing. -__-
I understand that the MTS has lower specs, including rom/ram and CPU, but you know what? I'm not sure I care. I kno the MTS is solid, and its a slider phone with a decent keyboard. And that's what I wanted all along. So, here's your opportunity, XDA goers:
You can trash talk my decisions, agree with them, offer advice to suit my situation, or all of the above. Seriously. I need a bit of insight. Because I'm really sick of pulling my battery to restart it, losing my save data to sporadic restarts, and feeling like I'm gonna snap the damn hinge off this phone. I'd almost rather just enjoy the fact that I have the newest phone, than actually operate it. Sad? I know it. So, opinions, go.
Thanks in advance, I suppose.
...have you done an exchange? Some people are having these problem, sure, but give it another go. However, nobody can help you out with the form factor issue.
Edit: Something that came to mind after. The new MyTouch that's coming out (what is it now, the MyTouch 4G? HD? I lost track). That's always an option if the MTS seemed worthy.
I have done one exchange. Which took the issue from just freeze screens, to both freeze screens and sporadic restarts. It just became worse.
Bump. -__-
Bad batch of g2. I've had three and only issue I ever had was loose hinge. I might go for a fourth but I'm trying not to let the loose hinge bother me. I might or might not. But lik dude said try another one. I personally will never compare g1 or g2 with the mytouch family. Its like apples n bananas

The Slide is NOT worth it. You'll regret that decision pretty quickly, I think. It's also too much @ 429.99 last I checked. Unless you're upgrading. I say exchange it for another G2 and if you still don't like it, hold out for another slider. Just please don't waste your money on the Slide, lol.
Received my fourth G2 replacement Three days ago. What a difference!!!!!!! The hinges are tight, no random rebooting, no screen freezes, no turning itself off and the reception is perhaps slightly better, These are all issues that the other three had out of the box. I know it has been only three days but this is the first one that out of the box was right. The only issue has been a dropped call and that was right after charging the battery and making the call. Since then it has been rock solid. I would recommend you go with YOUR gut feelings. Let me just add that after the third I had called TM to cancel and return the phone and the rep in Cust. Loyalty mentioned there was a OTA rolling out that would fix all or most of the issues. He indicated it would be out soon. I took a chance and while there has been no OTA i did receive a phone that is quite acceptable. Whether he was telling the truth about the OTA or not is a moot point to me. There are solid excellent working G2's out there. To what extent I do not know but they do exist.
tenbeau, what baseband and software version does it have installed?

My wife personally likes the slide's keyboard more than my G2. The reduced power or vanilla or not android install are not important to her.
I like the G2 far and away more, and I'm using the hardware keyboard much less than I thought I would now that I have swype. I like the screen res, the display is the right size, and it's faster than the N1.
I'd say if all that was really important to you was the keyboard, you could get the slide and install cm6 if you don't like the factory android install.

Better just give up cell phones all together. You are always gonna run into probs. It would take one who has had many phones to find this true. Nothing is perfect. Btw, the mts is a badass phone. My wife has one. But than again....so is the G2.

I'm frankly disgusted by the customer service I've received over this phone. It's horrible. I was just told that the loose hinge is a "design feature" and pretty much told to deal with it.
Never had anything but stellar CS from Tmo until now. I can't believe they won't work with their customers any better than this.

quick question....if I have OC'd my G2 (and I have) could I revert tall of it, and return it without them being any wiser????
don't do it, i had the slide and i absolutely hated it. the thing is laggy, small screen, bad camera, no live wallpapers(by default), and no development for it. the G2 has all those wonderful things and should soon be running CM6. IMO the hinge is not bad at all, i actually tried to twist the screen off the demo at work and when it wouldn't budge i decided the phone is quite sturdy.
also the G2 has been dropped twice in 24 hours and has no marks on it but the slide never got dropped and has all kinds of scuffs all over the edges, you deffinately need to keep the G2

Yes you can.
OP I personally have both phones. The G2 is leaps and bounds better than the slide. If I were you, I'd keep getting exchanges until the right one comes along. If you don't want to do that, wait until the mytouch 4g gets released publicly and exchange your phone for it.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
For everyone who is doing multiple exchanges....are you doing them in store or do you have to call customer service?....Also are you getting brand new phones or are they already sending out "refurbs"?
in the 3 almost 4 weeks ive owned the G2 i am on my 5th replacement. and nothing seem to be doing well. Waiting on the replacement to come in. I love the G2 with it being stock android, but if the 5th ones does not cut it. I hate to say but have to jump ship to the MTHD. ( and i advice you to go with the MTHD not the slider) not even comparable to the G2

Got My 2nd G2 Today Without Hinge Issue

Came home today to find that I had received my G2 from the promotion they had last week and turns out this one has a different hinge than my first one.
No biggie, I never thought the first one had that big of an issue but nevertheless I made a video showing the 2 side by side.

So you do reckon they have actually resolved the issue now or have you just got one that is tighter than ur 1st one?
Looks like a change in materials!
I still don't see the fuss about the hinge though.
What fusses me more is that I've gone through 3 G2s and each of them had a pixel problem, be it stuck or dead. Had to use a microscopic-ish lens to find them. Lawl.
I am so jealous right now.

Don't be. People have mentioned that even over time, the hinge will get loose again (this is inevitable, all springs give way over time). So be content with what you have if you have a bug-free phone!

Was it a new upgrade or a replacement, when did you get the first one?
First of all, you may want to get yourself a nice camera that can do HD video recording.
Secondly, your second G2 with the tight hinges is exactly how my G2 was when I first got it. It was super tight, no give, and then after a week of use it become really loose but not quite as loose as your first one. Give it time, and I'm pretty confident that your new G2 will call the loose hinge flu. Let's hope not, though.
My G2 has an intermittent touch screen issue. T-Mobile says it's a known issue. This is unacceptable for me. Aný recommendations? Different model, brand ect. Thanks

Are you sure it's not this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910624? This is a problem inherent with capacitive touchscreens (though some phones may be more susceptible than others depending on design and tolerances).
If not, you might want to try starting a new thread about it instead of trying to get help through one about the hinge (especially if it really is a known issue, others may be able to provide solutions).

No it doesn't, you just don't understand the nuances of capacitive touch sensors. YOU NEED TO COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT by having solid contact with the metal ring around the outside of the screen.
I've been playing with couple different dummy units at the stores
Like best buy and radio shack. They got no hinge problem at all. But really my wife got a g2 that has the problem but she doesn't say anything at all. me neither. I don't see why the problem would make me go have a replacement though. Unless theres something else. But so far so good

I actually just feel like it's a tighter hinge. If it goes loose or not, I don't know. But according to everyone here , it will loosen with time.

Haha I would have done better recording but I was just recording it through the youtube recording client which is a POS.
And I expect it to loosen but hope it doesn't.

You know what, after playing around with it. It just made me realize how beat up my phone is compared to the one -_- Please disregard haha.
Reuploaded since I should have reviewed the video before uploading.
It's been 3 months of use and the hinge is as tight as it was on the first day. So I don't believe that it will become loss at least not during my duration of owning it.

G2 issues, any solutions/suggestions?

I am really thinking of selling this thing. I put it up at Craigslist just to see what kind of bites I get on it. I'm just having a hard time with some stuff:
Proximity sensor is weird, at times the screen doesn't turn on when I put the phone down when calling someone, and other times when calling someone and I put it up to my ear the phone seems to go to sleep and the call is disconnected. Sometimes when the phone doesn't turn on again the knock on sensor doesn't work and I have to use the power button.
Knock on doesn't work half the time. I've tried every variation of fast, slow, and keeping my finger in the middle. Sometimes it works beautifully , others times it takes 4 or 5 tries.
Random battery drain, seems it's that CIQ GPS issue, but it just randomly pops up and if the phone is in my pocket drains half of it in an hour or 2.
Rear buttons are getting annoying. They are sensitive, if it's in my pocket and I'm listening to music even a light tap of my pocket and the volume is affected. I can't really get used to them.
Speaker is TERRIBLE. I did the audio hack on here and raised it to 68, I also tried the Viper4android app, neither of them made much difference. Even if they did, it's still mono so doesn't make for a great emergency boombox. I can be in a quiet room and it's bordering on useless.
Even with CleanROM installed I still get occasional lag, it's only minor, but it just bums me out with such powerful hardware.
The rest of my complaints are with Android and things that are just not polished or ready for prime time, but that should be another subject.
Pluses:
The screen is insane, and it's VERY easy to read in sunlight.
The battery life (when not bugged) is pretty insane as well.
Android is cool to tinker with.
Who else is on the fence?
Err no

I mean.. I have had a BLAST with the G2 so far.
I wouldnt sell it if I got the double for what I paid.
Well.. I would.. and I would buy another one !
But on my G2 I have no issues whatsoever. Not rooted or anything yet though.
O.P, you have a defect.
My phone definitely doesn't act like that. I'd try exchanging first before selling it altogether
Why did you wait till after the return window was closed? I'm afraid Craigslist would only net you some low ballers.
I'm not sure which carrier version you have but if it's a Verizon version expect nothing but low ball offers.

I haven't sold my phone. I will probably send it in to LG to see what they think, I just was hesitant to do that in case they can't replicate the problems. I didn't feel like waiting a month just to have them send it back and say it's fine. Seems they are intermittent. Most of the time the phone functions well, other than a slight lag. The proximity sensor issues are fairly occasional, but I haven't had the phone in a while. The knock on sensor is about 1/3 the time, but anecdotally I've read lots of other users having the same issue so that may be a universal problem with maybe a batch of them. The battery drain issue is also a well known bug with CIQ which some experience.

[Q] Potential Buyer

Hey guys, im thinking of getting a new phone after my disappointment with the lumia 920 and im thinking of getting the s4, g2 or the z1 and with samsung ive had some experience with the sgs and the note and i havent really had any problems with them but ive never had any exp with lg so i wanted to ask you about any COMMON problems (hardware mostly) that this phone (the international version) has because ive been reading things about the screen that frighten me. also worth mentioning is that this phone costs about 550 euros in my country and so does the z1, the s4 about 440 also the customer service is not very good so fixing or replacing the phone will be a little bit of a problem.
Nobody?
What issues have you heard about the screen? This is the best android device ive ever had plain and simple. You wont regret picking one up.

First of all that issue isn't widespread. Why would you be frightened to death to buy a phone? I'm sure every phone has some kind of return policy if it has issues. Just buy it and try it out no need to be frightened don't be scared.

The only advantage of having the s4 over the g2 is you can flash google edition roms if you get bored of touchwiz.which also means that the s4 will probably get kitakat as a google edition update faster than other phones. If you dont care about vanilla android, stick to the g2 it trumps the s4 in every category.

Where did you hear of "excessive overheating"? Literally every smartphone these days does that when you do too much hardcore gaming. At least it won't do this to you http://www.phonearena.com/news/HTC-...the-shape-of-the-phone-on-womans-body_id42542
S800 does a nice job of throttling so it doesn't get too hot.

I can't comment on the z1 but I had an s4 and now I have the note 3 and the g2. I am so happy with the g2 that the note 3 sits turned off in the box. The g2 is the first android phone that I have not rooted to make it better. As the saying goes if it isn't broken............

what about durability, have you had any experiences with dropping or anything similar because theres only one drop test on yt and it didnt fare very well there

You're asking some of the silliest question that you can research yourself... Like most smartphone if you drop it you're f-ed, which is why people put them in cases and or add insurance.

All the drop tests that sites conduct are complete BS. If you want a phone to survive any drop they you would've gotten a) a Nokia or b) an Armor case from Otterbox.
Simply put, if you want drop protection, buy the phone in my signature. It sucks crap at everything except for durability. And the Z1 shouldn't get any more praise than any other phone; drop it from a considerable height and you'll have a mess.
Ive owned the S4, HTC One, and S4 active (and more but those are the most current) this is by far the best I love it... The only complaint I have is it took me so many phones to find the perfect one
Is there anywhere to get the 32gb in UK, as I keep reading conflicting information about if it does have a memory card slot or not

i have a VERY bad experience with it
rebooting (automaticly)
freezing
overheating
unresponsive touchscreen
i should choose a samsung
The choice of model really depends on your carrier. The phone is still a good device if you can find one that is OEM with no replacements. I've had a bad experience with replacement screens and finding one that doesn't eventually crap out. If you can find one lightly used that hasn't had a replacement yet then you'd be well off.

On my case it was not a software problem. The touchscreen issues happened even with different Roms.
