So, my g2 was unrooted for all of 2 days or so when I got it before rooting and at least debloating. I have a replacement coming, so I'm back too 100% ota stock. So basically, this is my first taste of an LG g2 running 4.2 .2 100% stock. Only a few app, just leaving it bare and holy cow it's bad lol. I get a system ui fc once an hour. Pages load slow as Hell..Just...so...laggy... I've had at least several apps just randomly close. No force close message, they just closed and I'm back in my home screen. maybe because I ran 4.4 for a week, i got spoiled but this is terrible lol

You've got something more going on with that device. 4.2.2 is not that bad, even out of the box with all its bloat intact. There's more you're not telling.

I have had my G2 stock the whole time and I have never seen a fc. However, my web pages do load quite slowly most of the time.

I have 2 completely stock g2s one is mine and one is my wife's and neither of us have seen any of what the op is talking about. Only "lag" I have seen is in the animations.

There's definitely more going on then the op saying his stock. What else did you change? A stock g2 does not have any of those issues.

Stock 4.2.2 was pretty smooth even with all its bloat. No fc whatsoever. Maybe something went wrong in the process of flashing back to full stock.

The only fc I've ever had was on opera mobile browsers. Stock, unrooted since day 1 and the phone is fast and smooth. Great battery life (30+ hrs.)

Maybe you jacked something up. Or have a rogue app.

So I see you're using the Ferrari of Web browsers, eh?

QFT! I ran stock for months and I'm certainly in the power (ab)user category. Stock on this phone is EXTREMELY stable. I haven't seen an FC even with any of the changes I made to the phone when I was running stock.

Phones getting replaced because the speaker went bad. There's not more to tell. Seriously, went back to 11 A took the OTA to 12 B. only apps I installed were essential ones that I use daily. no tweaking, no nothing. This is the first time I was on 4.2 stock and I thought there's no way this is normal. Normally I would've already wiped everything started over but that would be pointless. Good to know this is not normal lol

I would try a factory data reset, clearly there's something going on. Or at least do a rebot and restart, maybe unisntall/readd your accounts.

Stock G2 has some lag but its extremely stable.

Couldn't tell you I've only ever been on stock 4.2.2 for about 5 minutes.

This is the most stable device I've ever owned. I'm glad I gave LG a chance. They really redeemed themselves with this device! Sounds like you may have gotten a dud. You should be getting a power house experience with the G2.
