LG G2 Thoughts in 2015/2016 - Verizon LG G2

With 2016 approaching do you have any intentions to upgrade to the LG G5 or otherwise? What's keeping you from upgrading or pushing you towards upgrading?
I only need Band 2 LTE to use my new T-Mobile line with. What about you guys?

I would probably switch to G5 if it comes with a 4k display and if it looks something like this the concept shown on techradar.

I'm pretty happy still though haven't had phone long. Would like an update to 5.1.1 then see what comes along. Lots of good phones out there now at good prices. But this is still one of them.

I wouldn't. The battery life of this one its incredible and the new ones dont offer anything that can be real % improvement.
Only if LG creates something like the S6 active (with incredible battery, water resistant, rugged,etc) that would be the only reason to change it. Otherwise, there's something that the G2 can't handle?

If the GPS was perfect, then I would never upgrade. This phone can still do everything and it's perfect size and screen to body ratio.

I feel like the camera could be better. So I am upgrading the note 5 or moto x pure. Going to try another rom first though.

GPS is my number 1 issue, mine doesn't work at all. I will hopefully upgrade when the new Nexus 5 comes out (Verizon better have it...)
This phone has aged really well though, still as fast as when I got it (my galaxy nexus not so much) and there's really been no significant improvements for phones since it came out.
I'm not interested in a phone that I can't update myself and there just really hasn't been anything that I am interested in upgrading to that's out currently.
The stock rom on this phone is god awful ugly though, got rid of it immediately with CM.

The battery life is why I haven't moved on to a G3,G4 or a Samsung. My GPS works fine, when I need it. I'm only rooted and using the LG stock rom 39a.
My only real wish is a better camera, though the video part comes out fine

the jury is out
My wife has had hers for over a year, my screen broke. I just bought her a nexus 6 for christmas, she bought me a note 4. The jury is still out for her lol I think she likes the G2 better. The note 4 she got me is verizon so Im not very impressed. Ive had the Tmobile note 4 and that was a GREAT phone. The VZW version just isnt development friendly. Sucks because I love the note 4.

G2 still worth getting?

Thinking about ditching my iPhone 5s and coming back to the Android world. Had several Android phones in the past, last one was the Note 3.
Is the G2 still considered a good phone after being out for a while? I'm with TMO right now, and if I switched to Verizon they have it for free with a 2-year contract. How does the G2 compare to its newer G3 sibling?
Thanks.

:highfive::good: I certainly feel the G2 is a powerful device I would recommend to any one!! Still no custom recovery for G3, so my friend is still stuck with stock, I'm enjoyin' Jackpot Clavin's CM11 on my rooted device!! No offense, def a step above apple devices!! :good::highfive:

Yes it is. Great phone, great hardware, great battery. I don't feel the need to upgrade any time in the foreseeable future. There's substantial rumors it's getting lollipop (here's to hoping) so that's a plus!
I read a review recently basically saying there's no tangible difference between the G3 and G2. You wouldnt really notice or care. If modding is important to you then the G2 has been hacked so custom recoveries and stuff are available. I tell you the last time I picked an uncracked phone it was pure agony waiting for the dev's to break it, which took like 7 months.
Also the whole free thing is nice. I got 3 of them for my family just because of that. I am a HEAVY user and the battery easily gets me through the day, usually down to about 25% after 18 hours of HEAVY usage.
The only thing I'm torn on is the size. I've actually thought about "downgrading" to an Iphone 5 just to get something thats more single-hand friendly. The G2 is kind of a two-handed phone. But of course if i need to use a phone that much whereby single-hand is important, then that also means I use it enough where screen real estate should also be important. What good is surfing the web with one hand if I cant read much of anything on the screen? So I think I'll be sticking with the G2 now that I have tweaked the keyboard size and installed Opera which are better suited for one-handed operation.

[Q] any regrets?

Greetings All,
I'm on a Note 3 right now, and Monday or Tuesday it's time for my upgrade. I'm torn between a Note 4 and the Nexus 6. The last 3 devices I owned were Note 3, Galaxy S4, and Galaxy S2. I'm really looking to switch it up here, and step back from Samsung for a little while. The Nexus 6 is my first choice right now, seeing as the Note 3 has me pretty spoiled with the large screen and the s-pen. I guess my question would be, since I've been seeing mixed reviews for Nexus 6 around the web, does anyone here have any regrets buying this device so far? And if so, are any regrets stone cold deal breakers, or just minor issues? I'm really looking at giving "vanilla" android (if that's even such thing on xda) a run, and I've heard that the Nexus devices have had the most and best development as far as that goes. So I guess I'm asking if there's any major problems with the Nexus 6 that is not being mentioned in a standard review, before I go scoop one up in the next day or two. Many thanks in advance...
My only gripe with this device is the poor cell signal. My phone is constantly searching for a signal and it is really impacting my battery life. Other than that I am happy with this device, hopefully T-Mobile pushes the OTA update for WiFi Calling soon.
no regrets here. want unlockable, rootable device that I can do as I want with. this is my first Nexus device. got it from Moto direct. on VZW
have generally had moto devices in the past and like their overall solid construction.
like Samsung devices but they are always a but flimsy IMHO.
None at all, I came from my 2 G3's (D850 and F460) and haven't looked back. My wife liked my Nexus so much (except the size) she wanted a Moto X 2014 so I bought her one. This so hands down my favorite phone so far
If u get the nexus use HDR+ on your camera day and night looks amazing. I thought I would miss Samsung but I don't . I miss the knock on. With the g3 but that's something I can put on the nexus
My only regret was not buying this phone sooner.
I'd only have a regret if something with otherwise the same specs but a smaller screen came out within a month of release; I guess I also regret switching to T-Mobile right before release but that's a different issue.

If you have the time to tinker and are willing to wait for things to get fixed or turned into features, this is the phone for you. If you have been using Samsung devices and think you will get anything close to the features Samsung adds, especially to their Note line, forget it. One thing the Nexus will help you see and appreciate is all the care and hard work that goes into their overlay. Things you may have thought were standard user options turn out to be features of branded manufactured phones. I have much respect for the care that Sammy and LG and even HTC puts in their phones now that I'm pure Vanilla. So, yes// there are definitely some trade offs I was unaware of.

I've made my decision....

I have both the G4 and the S6, as you may or may not know the S6 is unlockable and has had root for a while now. Despite that, I have decided to keep my G4, the potential locked in this phone is way too much to give up on. Odd thing is, the G4
doesnt seem to have had its radios tweaked or optimized, the S6 is a touch faster both on WiFi and LTE. The downside is
the bloat ball called touchwiz. It's choppy and eats a TON of ram. UX 4.0 is far and away better. As far as the cameras go, the
camera on the G4 is faster at getting locked in on what i'm shooting, but when zoomed in, the picture almost looks like an
oil painting. Once we do eventually get the G4 unlocked, I hope we get a camera mod much like the one I had for the G3.
I'm also looking forward to viper4android, that's definitely a must have for Google music imo. Anyway, hopefully we'll get
our beasts unlocked soon.
I agree totally. I had the s6 for a while. It has some awesome features and the camera is great, but it always was buggy and the ram issue was horrible. The G4 may not be perfect but I am enjoying it a lot more than my s6.

I concur with both of you. I had the S6 Edge and sold it for the G4. I'm just surprised we not only don't have root yet, but that there hasn't really been any direct talk of if anyone is close. That is a big concern to me. From my experience, there are usually folks chatting about their progress (or lack thereof). Anyway, love the device so far....

i agree too on going with the G4, i sold my nexus 5 and got the G4 before i even checked in here to see if it was rootable/unlockable yet
and the reason no one is talking about it is that so many people come in here complaining about no root or not being able to unlock their phone yet, but it is being worked on and in fact the devs doing it have unlocked carrier phones (from what i have seen), they are just working on a way to make it easy for the general public to do it and to make sure there is a way back or at least a way to not brick your phone. plus LG is on here too so there isnt much chatter here so that LG doesnt patch what they are working on before they can even get it out to us
it will come i am sure of it
Me too, i find this to be this first device i could use without root, i would still rather have it than not, but i could own this phone long term without it. Glad to see a positive note and people having the same experience i am with the phone. I also was a former S6 owner, my wife has it now so i can really check them out side by side and its no contest, and thats with my wife on a custom rom.
I was thinking how far phones have come since I got my first Android phone back in 2012 (Mytouch 4G Slide) Some great ROMS on that old thing. I moved on up to a Nexus 4 from that. The so called professional review sites claim that the differences between the S6 and G4 cameras are so small that it's hard to pick a clear cut winner, but I tell you, the only flaw in the G4's camera is the over sharpening. The S6's camera software kinda sucks, the viewfinder looks grainy and the pictures aren't any better. The ram issue sealed it for me, the darn thing has 3gb of ram available, how does T/W use that much?
Wow, so sad to see no progress on root and twrp. I bought this device thinking I was getting the "full" flagship experience.

define full flagship experience?
[soapbox]
and just because no one is posting about it doesnt mean no one is working on it. give it time, dang, the phones only been out for 2 and a half months. thats the problem with xda these days, we are so hellbent on having root and being unlocked so we can void our warranty and flash firmware to our expensive devices for what? so we can say "hey look i unlocked my phone and flashed CM on it, take that LG, now my phone is not near as good as it was when i bought it"

I just want ad blocking... Custom ROM's aren't my thing anymore.
Love the phone but the jank is really starting to get to me. Picked up my N5 today and was shocked at how much smoother it was than my G4
Hi all, jumped the Sammy ship after some 3.5 years using Galaxy devices (latest was a S4). It's actually the first time I get a flagship almost when it's been released, and so far this phone seems like a great device. I'm not looking for custom ROMs yet, root would be nice, but as it stands it's an awesome Android flagship.

Glad to see some people are not afraid to state the truth. I have a g4 s6 nexus 5 and oneplus one now and the g4 is the slowest. Just sits on my desk. Is funny how oneplus one and nexus 5 feel way faster than the s6 and g4.

Biggest issue I'm having is with WiFi. I'm not sure if it just slows itself down or becomes unresponsive but there's something that's making my internet hang.

Same here. My One Plus is smoother and faster . Rooted Zmax is faster . Love the form factor of the G4 ,but text and mms issues are starting to annoy me to no end....
Because the N5 use stock android, the biggest advantage of the G4 is much longer battery life. For me it's matter because the battery on Nexus is non-swapable and battery life is not good.

Left the note 4 because of the crap camera taking forever to focus and the gps that never could find a signal. At first i thought i made a mistake because of the lag i was getting before updating to the new N update and i am not looking back. The g4, at its 479 price point is a monster

So you do have camera focusing problem with note 4..I thought it was just me..

Who's moving on to a nexus?

Just curious to see if anyone is making the jump now that the new nexus' have been released for pre-order. If so what was your main reason? Easy root? More development? Hardware? Software? And if not are you staying with Samsung after the lock down they put on there phones? I myself have owned several nexus phones before and they have always been great, my only issue is there is always some hardware spec I'm missing, usually the camera. Right now with this variation I feel the 5.7 inch screen is a little much for me and know ois for the camera on the nexus p and the nexus x is the right size but way to underwhelming as far as specs go.

I preordered my nexus 5x. I went from a nexus 5 to this and have regretted it ever since. My main reason is the openess..there's a huge battery problem that could be fixed without having to wait on Samsung if there wasn't a bootlock.
Yeah man after having several nexus devices I switched to the lg g3 then this and I miss the development possible with the nexus. I don't know if anyone from the att forums ever pops in on a nexus development thread but it's a virtual playground of new roms, kernels, and useful mods. Don't get me wrong I'm appreciative of anyone putting in work on the att variants, it's just nowhere near the support a nexus gets! If they would just come out with a soild camera and the premium specs the 6p has, I would've preordered also

I am cant wait to get it. I doubt im ever coming back to samsung =(
I'm getting swayed myself. My notifications, device wake don't work unless with CM locker and then it's still not consistent. Then there are the gremlins here and there but there are some that really bothers me.
Plus I'm tired of my Nexus friends getting the new upgrades all the time.
I know how you feel, especially considering if I had a nexus right now I would have the marshmallow update already. Unfortunately I'm still stuck on 5.0.2 because I don't wanna lose root! By the time we see marshmallow it'll be on the SGS7! I sweat if tmobile gets it together with a consistent lte signal Im done done done with AT&T
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk
Samsung makes very nice phones but i really want more flexibility. I have already ordered a Nexus 6P and i hope i am going to like it. I am only worried because it is bigger than my edge.
If its your first nexus you will love it, theres almost too much flexibility! Youll find yourself messing with everything lol. The only thing is you dont get the gimmicky stuff as much as you do with manufacturers like samsung and htc. Some people miss that. The size difference, thats another story and partially why I have held off until I can hold one and see in hand the difference. I had the LG G3 and that is about as big as I think I can comfortably go with a phone.
Last time i had a samsung was the note 2.. i hated that phone so much i traded it for a optimus g pro. loved that phone still have it today. i swore i wouldn't go back to samsung. then the s6 appeared. 64 bit cpu exynos was destroying the benchmarks. smaller more efficient cpu manufacturing, awesome screen, glass, metal. smaller more efficient battery and finally tw had less bloat.damn made me change my mind. i had to pre order....... i have hated this phone since month 3 of owning. i hate this samsung. cant wait to get rid of it. i gave my htc m8 for this crap. m8 never lagged like this pos and battery was better. and the phone seemed faster idk how or why. samsung made me hate samsung. so yeah im getting a nexus just can't decide which. waiting on the reviews. not making the same mistake of pre ordering
Yeah man I know, that's why I skipped the s5. I've owned the sgs2, Samsung galaxy nexus, Sgs3, and sgs4. I got in on the sgs4 while there was still a bootloader exploit, however once i saw they locked it down in a way where the later versions could only use safestrap I was like, no way will I ever come back to Sammy. Skipped the sgs5 and went with the LG G3 but was lured back by the specs on this phone!! Samsung always has the hardware I want in a phone, best cpu, great screen, good camera, couple cool little gimmicks to play with... but this allowing manufacturers to lock down bootloader and essentially kill the dev scene is really pissing me off. I have always bought my wife HTC phones when I upgrade because I can never decide between 2 phones, her m8 still running as smooth as day she got it, I didn't even unlock and rom it like I usually do. I just cannot find the perfect storm of cutting edge specs that I want and development to go with. Sucks!!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk
The reasons I like Samsung phones is their hardware. Great camera, screens, better memory configurations, and lately the design of the phone. If all that was put into the nexus then it'd be an easy decision. Unfortunately the nexus lacks that. Idk what my next phone is going to be after this debacle.

Overall love

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the LG V10, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the LG V10 is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Very happy with it so far and I've only had it for a couple days but am loving it so far.
LG has stepped up to make a great looking, great feeling device. With the addition of the extra battery/200g micro SD AND the 100G for 2 years on Google Drive? Well done
Unrooted AT&T version is surprisingly usable for someone who swore to never own an unrooted device.
I returned my stock Note 4 after a few days in favor of my rooted Note 2 with DN4 ROM. I actually expected to return the V10 because I love my Note 2 so much. My Note 2 went on craigslist the day after getting my V10.
Outside influences prevent me from leaving AT&T for T-mobile, so the contract extension is irrelevant to me. Still, I almost considered buying the T-Mobile phone outright to get the unlocked bootloader. After a few days with the locked down AT&T version, I'm glad I saved the $350 difference. I'll still root it the first chance I get, for the most part, I don't even realize the difference.

Couldn't have said it better myself...
Never been more satisfied with a phone in my life.
Have owned the
OG galaxy
galaxy s3
galaxy s4
HTC One m8
and now the LG V10
Only the M8 comes close to the level of satisfaction i feel now
Note. Knock on works well. G4 was iffy to annoying. I don't feel the heat in my pocket because of the screen turning on accidentally. On the G4 I Turned it off. On that note, screen touch response has been excellent none of the issues that haunted some G4.
EDIT: Two weeks after: The more and more I keep using this phone, the more I use it, if that makes sense. The love for actually making use of lots more started with my LG G4, but the V10 continues to do one up every time. I never really used my devices for listening to music, but now that the screen is just that much bigger, albeit 0.2" as a whole I've enjoyed more youtube videos. That going in hand towards finding and listening to more music. I really do enjoy this phone, unlocked boot-loader, rooted, or not, does't make a difference to my enjoyment, even with it's quirks.. No regrets paying full price.
I love the knock feature which allows you to turn screen on/off by double tapping. Next to the ESS DAC this is my favorite feature. Pretty great for an unrooted phone. Almost went with HTC M9 for it's ability to play hi-res music but so far am very happy I went with the V10. I just couldn't turn this one away with such amazing audio specs.

Had this phone for 24 hours and just ? it! I've had a G2 and traded a G3 for this one on TMob. I wish they carried the white version like the international version on Amazon.
I'm coming from Note 5, I own currently the following phones, Motorola XPE, Note Edge, S6 Edge (soon to be send it as a gift to my nephew), I'm waiting for the Nexus 6P to be delivered to me, but I really like this phone. I'm using this as my daily phone and planning to keep it like that. Definitely in love with this phone.
Had an LG G Pro 2 for over 18 months, which was my favourite phone ever. Bought a Note 4 earlier this year (because I loved my old Note 2, way back when...) but it just wasn't as good as the G Pro 2, so I sold it on.
Been waiting for LG to bring out their next big thing - liked the G4 but wanted a bigger screen - so I was excited when rumours about the V10 started to appear, and even more excited when I saw they were keeping the SD card slot and removable battery!
Got my imported V10 at the weekend and it's just perfect. Seriously. I can't think of anything I'd want to change (well, maybe a more reliable FPS...)
Now, if we can get a simple root solution to install Viper4Android I can die happy. )
I will tell you what I don't like. For a phone that boasts a high end headphone amp it can barely drive a pair of earbuds. Very lame.

Other than issues with the Fingerprint sensor & cases (which should be resolved through an update that is/will be available soon), the LG V10 is virtually flawless. I find the second screen useful to quickly launch apps from any screen, call contacts, preview incoming messages, etc. The display is very bright, text is sharp and colors are realistic. Speed is excellent for web browsing, launching apps, screen scrolling, etc.. Capabilities- such as recording video, taking photos (front and back cameras), 32 bit Hi-Fi audio DAC playback, 64 GB of built in storage as well as removable storage/battery, build quality, call quality, advanced LTE data speeds, etc. are top notch. Aggressive promo packages and an excellent price on the T-Mobile network made/make the phone an unbeatable value. As with any well designed piece of electronics- the whole is greater than the sum of the parts- and the phone simply delivers where competitors have compromised.
Just got my Verizon V10 Yesterday. Absolutely LOVE IT!
I think this is very close to the perfect phone.. Only thing I am missing are the front facing dual speakers.. Other then that everything is too notch and it is easily the most feature packs smart phone this year.. Thanks so much lg for sticking with LCD display... I just hate smiled panels
