No I don't have a Verizon LG. I'm attaching a snapshot from the video linked above (at 4'07"). It shows the Verizon folder from the app drawer, with "Caller Name ID", "Cloud", "Isis Wallet", "My Verizon Mobile", "NFL Mobile", "Setup Wizard", "Slacker", "VZ Protect", "Voice Mail", "VZ Navigator". Don't know if this is the real final version but I'd think it should be close.

Bloat shmoat. If this is a 16gb model, Verizon can choke on the phone and the bloat on it
I remember when my Incredible couldn't hide or uninstall all that bloat (without rooting). I hope they don't yank out the wireless charging like they did with the Note 2... As far as I know, they aren't pushing the droid brand as hard as they were a couple years ago so I have high hopes of an untouched version.

I haven't seen any reliable websites join in and claim this. But even if those rumors are true, switching the back will fix it. With the Verizon Note 2, the only way to get wireless charging was to solder the parts to your phone - not just simply put a tmobile back on it.

Not sure where the article is now. But LG stated that Korea and US varients would not come with Qi charging. Its still built into the phone. Just the korea and US phones will not include the back with charging built in like the international version.
that logo is just so bad, i thought they where finally over throwing logos on the front of the phone.
This is apparently the "lite" version of the G pro 2. The g3 still has the logo offset

Got one worth mine. Of course it's still wrapped and will stay sitting there
Maybe I should call verizon and say since I did not get a manual with my Galaxy Note 2 do I get a free pair of headphones instead?
I only got a table leg leveler with mine. No idea!
The Verizon Note 2 does not come with a physical manual. It has the following physical documents:
- Star Here (and Comienza Aqui, the Start Here guide in Spanish)
- Product Safety & Warranty Information
- Global Support Calling Card
- Consumer Information About Radio Frequency Emissions & Responsible Driving
- Important Consumer Information
I have a feeling that people who are saying they received a manual are referring to one (or all) of those, but none of those are actual device user manuals though (at least in the sense that the OP is referring to). The actual user manual is 216 pages long. Verizon (and other carriers) have been cutting back on the included documentation with devices for a little while now.
If you want the actual user manual, you have to download it. It can be found on Samsung's support website for the Verizon Note 2.

That is exactly what I wanted to know THANK YOU! I just thought it was odd, My Droid Razr had one, my other cell phones had one but this one did not and I thought that was odd. I don't care about one but wanted to see if it was the new normal.
This is the one phone I could see shipping it as a PDF file included would make total sense. it fits the usage.
Not shipping earbuds/mic is just tacky given the price. You'll definitely be using those on this thing.

Weird. In those pictures, the AT&T version has a bit of a blue hue to it, while the Verizon version is hard black. There's definitely some kind of color difference on the back cover. Although, user pics of the AT&T version seen HERE look pretty black to me.
I find the software differences to be very odd.

I agree. I just know that it probably means that software updates on Verizon's are even less likely if there are two different versions. Good thing I'm going to throw stock android on as soon as it's possible.
Will there be anyway to remove that awful Verizon logo at the top right?
I came across some posts about using a penny to rub off the logo and it leaves no scratches.
I suppose you could add a sticker over it too.
Verizon is just out of control with their logo placement.
I personally like the brightness slider and it being gone is a dissapointment. Honestly after watching this vid im less enthused about the G2 since Verizon cant keep their damn hands off anything.

I hear what ur saying and your right but it gets old man. Its like this with every phone. The buttons on the back of the G2 i actually like them better as far as looks. They look like metal and look premium. The wireless charging i want so thats nice to. The problem is you guys already have root, something that probably wont be as easy with the Vzw version, and a unlockable bootloader probably wont even be a option.

I guess by default this is
Some key questions:
-Release date? Mid July is my guess.
-2/16 model or 3/32? Hoping the 3/32, or no buy.
-Wireless charging? Might be a separate purchase.
-Colors? I prefer black or gray.
-Will it be rootable? The Korean model roots easily, but VZW might have that "patched".
Then change the title and make it for us.
Hopefully they bring it real soon. Verizon is really slow in releasing new phones.

I was initially interested in wireless charging my G2 when I first got it. But then I found out how excellent the battery is on it and I have NO trouble plugging it in overnight - the only time I've ever had to worry about charging it, and even if I forgot, I still have had at least 30% of a battery to start the next day.
As always, YMMV.

How have you implemented wireless charging? I'm curious to get a phone with it but I haven't thought of any very useful implementations of it.
I bought the HTC One Max a couple days ago and I'm not a fan. My Note 2 had a home button, along with back and menu keys. Now I have to wake my One with the power button and if I use a custom launcher like Apex, I have no access to "recent apps" unless I configure the home key to use that. The camera is feature rich, but only 4 mp, but battery life is excellent as is the sound from the front-facing speakers. I also miss my email widget (although a custom rom would fix some of these complaints).
The knock to wake and a full set of softkeys on the G3, along with the laser camera look like compelling features to me. Even tho I have a case and holster (Amazon), I think I'll probably return my One.

Agreed, seems like they are just throwing things out there to cover themselves legally, its hard to find tools like this from their sites so they seem to be just doing it for the sake of doing it. Seeing as they are recalling all of them anyway it makes no sense unless they were trying to put peoples minds at rest but could back fire if their imei checker is as faulty as some batteries.
Imagine the lawsuits that would come if someone checks there imei and it gives them the all clear, then there phone catches fire.
Currently they are on one big ass covering exercise and not doing a very good job of it either
Only annoying thing about this whole debacle is two hours before they announced a recall i had sold my note 5 lol (with your rom on it of course!!!)

Just a thought!
Total recall policy is doubtful. It will never been clear what exact they will provide with new devices. Just new battery ? If so then certain batch don't have issue will remain same ?
Better Samsung have recalled every device and refunded them it could be wise decision. Later after couple of month may come with N8. They may get little loss but surely emerge with clean image and that would be total profit.
Mine's affected, good thing i took mine back this morning.
those IMEI check tools will be official after replacement take place
so you find out from which batch your new N7 and be rest assured its safe
for now maybe all SDI show's as affected

Why not? These things are amazing. I have 2 of them. Charges really fast. Not even big either. You won't be disappointed.

That's the cost of high-end phones these days (you pay it upfront or even more over time!). Jury is out, too soon to tell yet. I am coming from S7 Edge which is an awesome device. So far concerned about battery but too soon to call it.

I'm pretty concerned about the battery life as well. Been using my Rogers G6 for about a week and have to say the standby time is absolutely horrid, probably as bad as my G5. Other than the battery life, i have to say that i love this phone!
I think mine's going back. Battery life is < 8 hours with same usage pattern (exactly) as my S7e, which can last 15hrs on just 300mAh more. Something's wrong. I don't have experience with SD821 devices but based on some benchmarks, the Pixel XL looks like it lasts almost as long as the S7e.
It seems that Rogers permits "exchanges" up to 2 weeks - what if I want to take a credit on another device (I don't think it's my individual unit so don't want to bother with another one)?
I packaged it up to return it...Rogers F****Ed me off, too bad....Not our problem. Figured I would sell it, so did a factory reset and then decide to give it one more go. This time I didn't use the Google "move from another device" (don't know actual name) but rather manually reinstalled my apps (painful...). Much better results today (tho no phone calls as it's the weekend). I'm at 8hrs off battery, 2hrs SOT and still above 50% battery. Will see what happens Monday.
Hey everyone, just got that phone for free from rogers (Was 400$ but bring my Samsung Galaxy Alpha and they removed the 400$, can't belive it! Even the clerk was like "what? We do give something for that junk, and that much???"). I have a question though. How do we get the app drawer back? I've checked everywhere and all I see is go into settings, display, home then select home and app drawer. But I don't have that. I only have "Home" and "Easy home".
Thanks
Got a videotron version here...battery life is awesome in my case, standby is great.
Im still at the same charge from yesterday noon with regular use and minor gaming...still at 67%

In home settings you dont have select home ? Then home and app drawer?
Got the phone from Fido, unlocked, now using with Rogers. Only 2 days old but battery life is good so far, approx 50% after a moderate day of use.
For homescreen, I had to download an app from LG called "home + app drawer," before that I only had Home and Easy Home as options.

Just download the pixel launcher
Does the Rogers G6 have any Rogers branding in the software when it boots up? Considering getting an unlocked Rogers G6 off of Craigslist to use on AT&T.
