2) The stock auto brightness is not as good compared to Lux Auto Brightness

Yawn
Constructive contributions would be more useful than repeating previous dull "observations".

Besides those physical weaknesses such unremovable battery or no external memory slot, ... so far, I found 2 bad things about this phone, still searching for the 3rd.
1) Volume buttons are on the back. At first I thought it's not a big deal and thought I can deal with it until using this G2 as navigation device with car holder. Normally, with buttons on the side, I can increase/decrease voice control volume with ease, but not this buttons on the back.
2) Widgets are not resizable.
3) Still searching.
If someone know how to fix 1) and 2), please let me know
Update 1:
3) Camera is super-suck in low-light condition, regardless inside or outside. With flash on, even worse.
4) Battery drain unexpectedly and uncontrollably (this could be my fault though)
5) Sometimes I can bypass the lockscreen without having drawing the pattern. This is bad.

Music app on stock LG serves me well.
Do PowerAMP and PlayerPRO be able to play by FOLDER?
There is no reason to install any other apps if the built-in can work well.

Album =/= folder, bro
I have to give it a try again, but last time I tried it as well as many other apps, playing by album isn't playing by folder.
Note: .mp3 and .wma are selected, ripped and stored in folders.

Not all of them... Some such as Google Drive, Facebook, Twitter will not expand beyond 4x2. Google+ will expand 5x2, as will Keep and Tunein radio. So it really depends if the widget producer provides support for the widgets to be resized or not, or provides a widget for your default screen size.

Not all widgets are resizeable, most stock widgets are though.
Also PowerAMP can play by FOLDER. Click on PowerAMP, bottom bar says FOLDER.

I do. I love the stock player!

I am a long time Samsung Galaxy series user. I bought this phone on Friday and I've been playing around with it and there are a couple things that kind of irritate me about it...
1. The screen quality is nowhere near as good as people say it is....or I might just be spoiled by super amoled hd screens. IDK...
2. Camera is horrible
3. LG's UI is very lackluster. IMO

[APP] WP7 Music Player - Clone -[Update][Alpha-5]

This is a WP7 music player clone made by the developer of LauncherPro. This app is exactly like the one found on WP7. This app is not my work and I am simply posting this for other users to enjoy.
Note: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE.
Enjoy.
Latest Release: Aplha-5
Changelog:
http://launcherpro.com/music/
Alpha 5
Fixed startup force close that happened on some HTC phones.
Made the entire widget clickable, so that clicking anywhere (outside the play/pause/next buttons) will open the app.
Added the ability to delete playlists by long-pressing on a playlist and choosing "Delete".
Added an option to set the default tab to show when the application is started.
New option to use a custom status bar instead of the system status bar. Touch it to reveal more info (battery charge, Wifi status, signal strength, data connection). Swipe it down to open the notifications panel. Please note that due to limitations in the Android system, it's not possible to show notifications in the custom status bar or customize the notifications panel.
Well, it can play music, but I require options.

[Q] Google Music and lockscreen controls?

Hey guys,
I am currently running CM7 RC0 (kang build) with Siyah kernel. I like using the market google music app because I have the bulk of my music library uploaded. I've noticed the lock screen controls sometimes work for the google music app but success is spotty at best. I removed the AOSP music app and that just made the lock screen controls disappear altogether. Has anybody come up with a mod, I've read widget locker can do it but I'm reluctant at getting third party software for something this silly. I wouldn't mind going back to samsung framework roms if need be. I just haven't see anything of this nature tangible.
Thanks in advance for the responses.
p.s. search came up clean. sorry If i missed anything.
104 views and no posts =(
I'm not using cm7, so I can't test it out, but try agile lockscreen. It has music controls built into it to show we're up only when music is playing. Not two to mention it's an awesome lockscreen. I know you said no third party apps, like a lockscreen, but hey, no one was commenting.
And yeah, there's alot of 'lurkers' that use xda all the time but never create an account, so they can't comment.
Sent from my páhhōniē
Thanks hairy, I was one of those lurkers before simply because my previous sprint phone wasn't supported. Once I got my SGSII I signed up immediately because I knew this is where the party is at. lol
The google music app is a cool concept but leaves a lot to be desired: music controls and and an EQ. (fixed by dsp manager in cm7 but still)
I don't see agile lock screen in the market. maybe it was taken down?

FYI, if you download "Equalizer" from the Android Market (the one with the good ratings), it integrates with Google music. It actually adds an EQ menu to the Google Music app that appears almost native. It works with other audio apps as well, but the integration is not as tight. It has unique features like an auto-EQ based on the Genre in the ID tags.
Still can't find a lockscreen though.
Equalizer app is amazing and did wonders to the sound of my music through this phone.

I've tried and tried to no avail as far as using my palm to get a screenshot. Is it maybe because I'm using ICS perfection based on the newest build?

Is it my imagination:
The android keyboard is less forgiving?
I have way more typing errors than with previous bases.
The gallery looks blurry?
My eyes aren't what they used to be, but . . .
still could use more work
As with the previous leaks some of the issues were not addressed. Basically some will find this leak pleasant and others such as myself not worth the hassle (returning once again back to stock). I quess it all depends on how one uses their phones. For me the task manager (jobmanager.apk) is a must, task manager must be used repeatedly to accomplish anything. Next Bluetooth works, however when using it with Pandora and programs via data I lose the ability to control music using headset (some functions work others don't). Trying to connect to a call via Bluetooth during audio playback in news or Pandora is more trouble than its worth. Tap to zoom while viewing pages over zooms not to big an issue but prefer to have it zoom and fit the screen. Last but not least, I still think the note has the worst call quality of any phone I've ever used was hoping a ROM or update would fix this, of course this is my opinion here. I will give the browser one thumbs up (the other hand is being used to display a middle finger to this leak) it far surpasses the previous stock browser, I'm not a fan of the checkerboard effect. I haven't used this leak long enough to find any other problems.

I'm glad to see that the keyboard problem wasn't just me. I felt like Homer Simpson trying to type. Not only was it generating a lot of typos but it also seemed like the auto-correct was acting like a drunk Marine... way too aggressive and usually wrong. The strange part is that I encountered the exact same problem with the android keyboard, the samsung keyboard, ICS keyboard, A.I. Type, and Swype. Swiftkey has acted fairly good for me though. I imagine there has to be some component, related to autocorrect, that all of the other keyboards share but Swiftkey doesn't.
I seems that the hidden menu:
*#*#4636#*#*​
is not working anymore. I think this is a new issue, before this was always working.
I also don't like too much this new keyboard ... too many typos.
So is it the way the screen reads your fingertips, or is the dictionary a suck-hole?

Power Amp is on sale now for $2.49 until 12/16 I believe...
I use PowerAmp, it plays files that the stock player won't (I thought they were just 320k mp3's, haven't looked into much), I had issues with other apps not seeing any music on my SD card and PowerAmp saw it all (wipe and reload of the SD card fixed it for other apps), it has a nice interface, plenty of options for lock screen controls, I've been very happy with it.
I use Player Pro. I have used it for a couple of years now. Large tiles, album art download automatically, etc.

Must have apps.

Okay let's have it. What are some of the apps you absolutely have to have on your phone? Apps that improve the functionality of the phone or just allow u to do really neat things...(not including the standard root tools like titanium)
Looking for other ideas. And go
There was another thread with a couple listed. I use button savior to be able to use back, home, menu and power/lock with spen. Pretty nifty, and stays well hidden. GMD gestures is another good one to customize spen gauss with and without pen button. I don't use it though, it's only five bucks too.
Edit: Pixlr, Nova, and JuiceDefender as well. Misread the subject, I thought it was spen apps :|
