As a former Samsung S2,Gnex, and Note 2, I will be joining this forum very soon.
The main reason were screen and battery life. Hope I won't miss the software support that Gnex had.
Cheers everybody!

Hi,
Maybe you should have a look in the dev sections... The G2 will not have the same support like a Nexus device...
Anyway welcome
There are already 5-6 different rom if not more.You will not need the 1million different roms anyway,the phone is by default almost flawless..
Purchased one myself earlier. Will get it later this week.

I am getting one today for Sprint from Best Buy since iti s free, of course activation fee.
I have never used a phone without SD card before. So I am not sure how it works with custom ROM for downloads and factory reset etc? IF you format do yopu lose all personal data?
I don't think you will lose data, if you format just the right partition. Cwm or twrp will take care when give the command. Just don't format /data.
Another wild G2 user has been spotted!
Just got mine last weekend.
Free powerbank. Free flipcase. Free screen protector. Free non-matching paperbag.

Being that apps loaded onto the SD card has not been supported by Android for quite a while, I see SD cards as a low priority option.
As for formatting, TWRP will not clear your data, unless you instruct it to.

I just bought one off eBay. I was torn between the LG G2 and the Nexus 5 (especially after the 4.4.1 announcement) but after doing tons of research, it looks like the G2 might be the better option. Worst case scenario, if I end up hating it, I can always sell it for close to what I paid and get the Nexus 5.
Very satisfied with the g2
Today I pick my phone... Let see if I will have a positive feeling about LG on phones... Never had bthw... But I am confident this time..
You'll regret it. ...........regret not getting it sooner

got mine last week and a red spigen slim armor case I love it I'm thinking of selling my G Pro and getting a G Pad now :good:
I am rooted/recovery but still on stock. The stock roms is good so far. I have installed custom StockMOD kernels 3.0 and I am quit happy.
Now, I know that questions are not allowed, but need help to understand what is "loki"? Then just root...
Never mind, found out it was a terminal updating tool.
I am in NYC, where do you guys get the G2 from in the US (aside from eBay)?

I was in the same situation, I went G2. Definitely the better choice. The Nexus is nice though.

1st Note: bad headphone jack - replaced under 30-day return
2nd Note: bad glass glued down - replaced under 30-day
3rd Note: bad vibration unit - replaced under warranty for refurb
4th Note: really bad black crush - replaced under warranty for refurb
5th Note: phone powers off when tapped (OMG)
Trying to get AT&T to replace the phone with a brand new Note (not refurb) or give me a SGS3 or my $300 back.
They keep either wanting to:
1. send me refurb
2. send me a refurb of a different, lesser phone
3. reset my upgrade date and allow me to purchase a new phone at discount
What does it take to get something resolved here. Anyone have any contacts in AT&T that I can call to get something done?
Some really bad luck you got there. Hope all works out for you

Yup...really talk about bad luck. Maybe its just not meant to be...maybe you're just really destined for the sgs3 or something lol.
My suggestion, ask for your money back and buy one from BestBuy. Their black tie program is the best.
In the end, good luck with everything brotha.
I received my note day one. Never had a problem.
You have super bad luck.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I know. I really love the phone and its screen size but after all this, I'm kind of bummed.
I finally talked to someone who could help and they have decided to send me a brand new Note and i get to keep the "4th Note" for free. So in that regards, AT&T actually came through for me. But now I have to decide on sticking with it, selling and getting a SGS3 or just go with the Galaxy Nexus. I'm just really turned off by Samsung right now. They are a great company but this situation was pretty ridiculous.
wow!!! that is a sign...to get something else...maybe, just keep telling them ATT no refurb...and say your a unsatisfied ATT user...
mean while....ATT hooked me with a what seems to be perfect NOTE...Free!!!
long story short...had a used, out of warranty pantech phone (non smartphone) for my kid, it was unlocked but still ATT phone, well they couldn't put it on the network, 3 tech's and hour later all on the phone, ATT said "tell you what" bigjoe, we will just sent you a new phone & replace that pantech"....."so pick one"...so I did told them a MOFO NOTE!, day later got it which was 2 weeks ago....so went back on ebay and got my kid another pantech...LOL
ok, see ATT took care of you...good deal..
I had something like that happen with me, I had got a skyrocket, and then returned that to get a Note, still in that 14day period, the note wont turn on at one point, and was at the 30day of getting the skyrocket, called their warranty support and they dint have any refurb notes at the facility cause it was too new, after talking with premium customer care, they sent me a new one, and I kept the old one, got it replaced eventually and sold it, also got my first one for $150, so got two of them for $75
I'd be less concerned about the phone and more interested in learning what caused the bad Karma that resulted in so many Note problems...Grasshopper.

check out foldermount. might help with the pain of the smaller storage size. basically moves data to the external SD, but leaves a symlink on the internal so that apps, etc that point to that directory can still access the files. obviously not the same as a larger internal storage, but at least it helps.
I didn't figure it was going to take long for the phone to be rooted, and custom recoveries/roms installed. It didn't take long for the GS3 to fall to the modding community.
Once you root, NO MORE OTAS!!!!
People will read that, and still do it anyway, and well, that's on them.
This is the best news I've heard related to Verizon in a long time.

oh man, i couldnt take it anymore. ingress should me how really terrible the service was.
got mine last night, ready for root... :good:
I'm going to try out stock for at least a few days. I'm coming from a DINC2 running CM7 in preparation for this. It's going to be a nice boost in every regard, I think.
The lure of root is tough to beat, though. I've only ever had HTC smartphones, so I've been used to waiting a month or two for root. This might be tough.
this is awesome. super excited!
i hear vz's s4 shipped with a root patch.

Unfortunately so, it looks like Verizon had time to upgrade to the new secure kernel (same as Sprint's latest OTA). And now we all know why they wanted to take that extra month.
Will wait till 2014

Old news
Yeah anyone who believed their initial claim of November/December was a fool. When buying the G2 I fully expected it to never be updated like so many of their other devices.
I am hoping to be wrong of course, but as other OEMs push 4.3 and LG continues its silence, the chances of an update get slimmer.
I'm trying to find an OEM that Skipped a version of Android when updating. Say 4.1 - 4.3 etc. Don't ever see it happen.

HTC One on all carriers except Verizon skipped 4.2
Sent from my Nexus 7
Wifes Galaxy Note 2, still on 4.1, and my Note 10.1, still on 4.1. Both are supposed to be going straight to 4.3, but who knows....
This is typical of LG, which is why I hated my LG G2x when I got it. They just don't say ANYTHING. Why would you have a BRAND NEW PHONE on already super outdated software (4.2.2) and then remain hush on updates?!
I am in no rush really but at least say something like, "We're hard at work to bring the latest Android release to G2, ****, ***, and *****! Best case scenerio we should start rolling out in early 2014."
At least you know they're working on it and what devices will get what. It has to hurt sales. I mean it almost made me skip on the G2 just because it was running 4.2.2 when the Note 3 had 4.3. Your sales WILL increase if buyers know you are working on updates. If LG made a statement saying they were working on KitKat then I would have jumped on it earlier.
Funny thing is they'll probably release 4.3 in March of 2014 when we start seeing Android 5.0 stuff. Then LG will give up and never release another update past 4.3.
I just hope LG gives a **** this round or I will eventually smash my G2 and pick up something else. I'm already extremely edgy with LG since they stung me with the POS G2x. Great Phone turned into **** by LG. If they Ruin the new G2, they may never live it down.
I think you are greatly pissed by LG
LG G2
I like LG for theory bring out ohone with no bugs, so update is not needed. I'd rather have that and wait for new os and only see it fail cause again its a bad port lol.

Skipping 4.4 would not be entirely unprecedented (Note II skipped an iteration of Android, either 4.2 or 4.3). However, I doubt a company that clearly does not have their US ducks in a row, so much so that they can't tell you if or when their new flagship will even be sold here, will be putting Lollipop on our AM2 anytime soon.
I don't know why you would say that? I have had nothing but a pleasant experience with Huawei and I'm running 3 Mate2s at my company and all unlocked and Rooted. Communication with [email protected] has always gave me prompt bootloader unlock codes and I would not be surprised to see this phone get L. It's the only phone they have out with LTE in America and will be forced to update to stay in the game. However right now the phone works and looks great and for $300 you can't get a better phone
Using Rooted Huawei Ascend Mate 2
Won't matter to me if it never gets an update. My last phone, a Note1, was stuck at 4.1.2 for almost 18 months, and it didn't bother me one bit. It was STABLE.
My Mate2, same setup. It's STABLE that is what I'm after, be it JB, KK or Lollipop.
I got excited and asked them about it, but they might know me by now haha.

You know I've actually been thinking about this ever since they posted that picture a month ago that showed the Android 'L' style navigation buttons.... I have been secretly wondering all this time if they were planning on skipping KitKat altogether in favor of one big upgrade to Android 5.0 (what we now know is called Lollipop). This pretty much tracks with that.... oooh how I'd love to be right on this one!

I'd actually prefer lazada compared to oppomart. Incase anything goes wrong lazada will be liable directly and they're easier to get in touch and retrieve your money back.
Oppomart on the otherhand is a pain in the ass. Ordered my accessories from them since they're the only ones who sell OPT accessories and ship to the Philippines and it took them a week to get it shipped, now I'm still waiting after 3 weeks and the items are still "preparing for shipping".

Be very careful, Oppomart stole me almost 400eur on refound (sent me a used mobile of another old model and i sent back), they just wait PayPal time expire, don’t let time expire even they implore. Do not trust Oppomart.

guys, out of the box, how much available space does the 64 gb op2 have?
how about system memory?
61 of 64 GB will be available for ROM (internal storage)
This has 4 GB of system memory (3GB if you got the 16GB version which I highly do NOT recommend on getting), you will never need to worry about RAM on a phone with anything above 3 GB.
