My screen cracked and I had to make an insurance claim...I'm getting a refurbishes replacement...anyone have any bad experience with them?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
With this phone specifically? Yes. I returned my first one because it had a dead pixel, and the one they gave me had a broken USB port. It thinks its on a USB charger when it's on a wall charger, therefore making my phone charge slow. I also can't connect it to a computer I'm actually still using it too, I figured that I'd return it when something happens to it
The ducks symbolize death!
Through the 7 refurb captivates I had, and the two refurb I777's so far, all of them have looked and function brand new if not better.
My wife has one. 6 months and no issues to report.

Mine looked brand spanking new and hasn't had any issues at all. Best $10 I ever spent (that wasn't on a six pack hah).

I have a refurb i777 I got a while back. As far as I can tell, it's been perfect. I would actually almost rather have a refurb as a replacement than a new phone...the refurb units are put through much more rigorous testing before they're sold than the new units are.

Same here. No issues. Love this phone!
I tried to upgrade with a refurb I777. It was DOA when I received it. Wouldn't power on. I called ATT and told them about it and they sent another. It was also DOA and wouldn't power on. Sent them back and went to Sam's Club and bought a new one for $50. I've had other refurb phones and they were all fine. My wife's Cappy is a refurb and it's been flawless. I think for the most part they do pretty well but you may run into a few bad ones now and then.
Yeah once in awhile you'll hear problem reports but for the most part refurbs are just fine. My Blackberry Curve refurb I got like 4 years ago died a week after I got it. But ATT sent me another, only took 2 days to get it, and the replacement is actually still in excellent condition. Same happened to my fiances but second time was a charm for her too.

Mine is refurbished and has worked flawlessly since the day I got it which was about a month and a half ago, so I wouldn't worry if I were you.

So I got my phone and it feels brand new. Rooted and flashed 5/11 AOKP & NEAK and it is running great so far. Screen seeems a little nicer as well. I notice less banding.

Hey guys, so i am probably the first to crack this screen ..fell out of my pocket getting out my car....nearly cried...screen unresponsive except a 1x1 inch area... I think phone works okay otherwise from what i can seee
No insurance obviously why im posting... Does anyome have any experience sending back to lg to get it repaired? I got a quote from a place in chinatown ny for 200... And lg wont quote me until i send it in...was wondering what others have done or recomendations.... I have an upgrade on my plan i can steal so i can also sell the phone ebay...but not suring how well that would go.....
What ya'll think?
Dunno, what version is it? Maybe you can make a dev very happy with it, if you give up on it.
Selling it for parts might only work later in its life cycle

If you got some spare time and nifty fingers you could wait for replacement screens to be sold. Or maybe use it as a htpc or something.
I have insurance with T-Mobile because I just joined them and their Jump program includes it but when I was with Sprint my ex broke her S3 and we had no insurance, I just called them up and asked for it on the phone and they added it and then I waited a few days and put in my claim and got a new phone after paying deductible. So give it a shot and call and ask to add insurance, maybe you'll get lucky.
List it on eBay you will be shocked as to what you will get for it.

Nah. Some guys girl broke hers like 2 days ago. Threads around here somewhere.
LG G2
Add the insurance if you don't have it. You have 30 days to do it and the phone hasn't even been out that long so you can definitely add it. Wait a couple days and make a claim. It'll cost you $199 on most carriers, maybe all of them, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new one. And if you want to keep the old one for some reason or donate it to a dev somewhere as suggested earlier then report it as lost or stolen. You won't be able to use it on any carriers but for development or WiFi functions you could still use it up to you.

It might be difficult to replaced the screen yourself. I remember reading somewhere that LG fused the LCD screen and glass together to make the display clearer.

thanks for all the replies, i actually tried adding the insurance but made the extremely dumb move in filing the claim the same day cause i was really anxious about it and had to switch to my old gnex cause i needed a phone...
LG quoted me for replacement anywhere from 100-180 not including shipping it to them...but i have 2 extra upgrades available so i think im gonna try to sell it on ebay and use that money to buy the replacement....
if all fails i would be happy to give it to dev team, better than a paper weight here..
gonna def get a case and screen protector for next phone....

Amazon will do that a lot even with brand new phones. I can't say that I'm surprised to be honest...

Same goes for Note 3... it's really not that crazy. Amazon wants you to buy through them, so they beat other prices even on new phones sometimes. Amazon is awesome like that

Just shocking that the price came down that fast. To think I paid full retail for mine so I could keep my unlimited data.
In Singapore, a few days ago, it was about 730 dollars. It's 715 today with free OTG, screen protector and official LG window case. I'm getting a brand new one for 650 without the freebies. It would have been 700 couple of days ago. But I'm not complaining.

Who is this shocking to? Anyone who had any slight of a experiences in buying an LG device should have known that.
This was exactly the case with the Optimus G and the G pro. Hey even the HTC One went down in price the first month.
Shocking? No not really

I was reading a lot of posts on the Verizon Community form that there is a bad batch of G2's out there where folks have not been able to use their phone due to a bad SIM. I bought mine day 1 and I have not had any issues.
Par for the course, welcome to getting a phone as soon as it comes out. You wanna play early your gonna pay.

Right. Only phones that don't do that are Apple's but we already know why they don't discount any of their merchandise
I got my GS3 for $149.99 from Radioshack about a month after its release.
Note that this is the case for subsidized pricing which is simply the retailer cutting into their margin since the carrier kicks something back for the new contract or re-up. You never see msrp come down like this.

Samsung Note3 was launched in India for INR49990 with in 15 days the price has come down to INR47990. what's the big deal. if the product is good & the user is satisfied, it's worth the money else even for free, the phone is not worth it.
amazon does penny phones that are brand new too. when the dna came out, I think, or the rezound, one of them, it was a penny like a month after it came out... and they were both high end phones at the time. why is anyone complaining that there's a price drop?
hell, from day one if you went to Verizon online and used their 30 percent off code, the phone was only 140, which is what I paid for it.

Ya I agree with that. But that actually makes the G2 even more of a major contender in my eyes because it's popularity is still growing regardless.
Couple that with Samsung's basically failed watch campanion promotions. And the rumored improvements to come on the G3. And I think LG has the foundation for an epic device long term. As long as they clean up the software.

I agree with that also. The screen is plenty big. If I want a bigger screen I'll just use a 7/10 inch tablet. Bigger screen on a phone just isn't practical in my opinion and intrusive in most cases.

Have you tried out the Vutalk feature yet? It seems cool/fun but I don't know anyone else with an LG phone, unfortunately, so I can't test it out myself.
Other than the slippery back, easy-to-scratch screen, mediocre speakers, and lack of cute aftermarket cases, I LOVE the G2. The Knock On feature and battery life are so damn amazing. Every phone should implement Knock On!
I have super high expectations for the G3 after being wowed by so many of the G2's features. The "delightful discoveries" page is great!

I have had the G2 since mid December. I gave my wife my old S2 skyrocket and sold a HTC one x I used as well.She loves my g2 and how stable it is..I offered to buy her a Optimus G or G pro off eBay but I can't get her off her skyrocket.She said when she needs another phone she will for sure want a lg because of the UI.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
We bought G2's the day after it launched in Canada. And 1 S4 which is being used as a toy by my youngest. I have a MacBook which I love, and an iPhone 4 which I loved. I was all set on getting the entire family on iPhones by the end of last year. And then the unthinkable happened: at my daughter's request I started looking at Androids. At first I was 100% opposed. But Apple's lacklustre iPhone 5x announcement and their refusal to make a bigger screen phone sold me on Android. And now I would laugh in the face of any offer to switch back to iPhone. The G2 has been the best phone on the market since it came out.

Ya family is for sure not regretting switching from iPhone to the G2. I'm just hoping the G3 is going to live up to the rumors or exceed them. I really don't plan on switching phone brands in the future. Or is anyone in our house lol.

My last two phones were Samsung...never again. I went to get my G2 on Friday, the Verizon store was sold out and so were all the stores in the area. The sales rep ( a family friend) just ordered it online for me and should arrive Monday.
$99 for a 32 gig phone with these monster specs? Yes please!
Well, I broke the screen on my XT912 yesterday and usually you can still use the phone with a cracked screen but for some reason I lost all use of the phone. I'm guessing that the digitizer went bad as well.
I just want to say it was a great phone and had a lot of great devs. Going to miss it.

The screen and digitizer can be replaced... I work at a cell phone repair store in Germany and have done 2 RAZRs in the past couple months. I'd check Amazon or ebay for the part. You can find the whole assembly (LCD, glass, digitizer) for under $30.
