About to get an LG G2

noidea24 · Jan 1, 2015

G2's are great devices, HOWEVER, they have to many hardware issues. Im now on my 7th g2 and will not be getting another one after this.

I will be investing in a oneplue one device. Specs exceed the g2 for half the price. Look it up and check it out.

Then i would say you are unluck with g2 lots. Mine has no issue as far as hardware is concerned. I am still on stock rom rooted and achieved all tweaks with use of xposed.

Hardware problems are not common for G2. I have no idea how anyone can go through 7.

If I get the LG G2 in the US, will it be compatible with India's LTE/4G when I go there? People are saying that USA runs on 2.5GHz and India on 2.3GHz. Can tweaks solve this, such as custom ROMs, or do I have to skip this phone?

I can attest to hardware issues on my vs980, 3 broken headphone jacks and a broken speaker. I'm currently on the third broken headphone jack but haven't bothered to RMA it.

Also for ROMs xdabbeb has a fully functioning vs980 g3 port, it's every bit as stable as stock uses all the latest vs980 stuff and is still on 1.0 after weeks because noone's found any major issues with it, as far as I know there's only even been 1 minor issue.

My advise....if you find a good G2...KEEP it!!!!

I've gone through a few (warranty exchanges) and just sold my last one before the holidays.

THEN bought a cheap priced D801 on Ebay and plan to fix the screen soon. The battery/processor/radio etc are perfect on this one.
Once I fix the screen I plan to keep this one for a looooooooooong time.

Have gone though just about every scenario with this phone....root/unroot, stock/various ROMS, IMEI broken/ IMEI fixed, soft bricked/ hard bricked, dead/
back to life again etc.
Once you learn the phone from the inside out you kinda gain a different appreciation for what you have

Get the G2.

Thanks everyone, I did get the g2 and its super smooth!
I'm fine with stock for now and I don't wanna go messing around with the custom recoveries and rooting just yet, in case the phone bricks or something. By the way, I got the vs980 model.

Congratulations! G2 still is one of the best smartphones. Official Lollipop will give it a new life.

So there is an official Lollipop for the G2? I can't update for some reason. :\ but yep, g2 is amazing.

Who knows. Supposedly in the works. They said it would but no timeframe. Supposedly the VS980 Verizon model has a really solid lollipop aosp port. I like the G3 Verizon port personally.

I have lollipop on my tablet and unsure about the new notification tray in real world day to day...
