***The Official LG Optimus G2 Thread***

[Snax]

Thanks for the input guys. I am torn between something I don't like aesthetically with a camera I do like and the opposite.

I think I have to wait until the n5 camera update. If it improves things substantially I will go with that,otherwise the g2.

only O2 have the 32Gb models in the UK, the rest are 16Gb

Do you know if that's likely to change? I'm due an upgrade on EE in February (up from a HTC Sensation). I was looking at a HTC One but I like the look of the G2 especially the battery life. If it was available from EE as a 32Gb then that would seal it for me.

Not that I know of mate think O2 signed the exclusive on it.

The O2 handsets aren't that cheap either.

It works out cheaper in the long run to go sim only and buy handset outright, but depends If you have the money upfront. Have a think

Thanks for the info.

My current -year contract with EE/TMobile is £22 per month, and I'll push for a G2 (or HTC One) at that price with unlimited (or generous) data limit. Not sure how successful I'll be but they've seemed desperate to keep me on contract in the past - or I may even push it further.

If not I'll buy a Motorola Moto G up front and use GiffGaff. The reason is that I'd I'd prefer to pay less money up-front or milk a contract.

But it's not up for renewal until February so I'll see what's available nearer the time.

I may be considering this after my Note 3 saga (see the Note 3 thread). I have a Nexus 5 at the moment to try but it just feels a bit too small. At 5.2 inches, this won't be much smaller than the Note 3.

My question is, is the button placement actually useful or is it just annoying?

 

[lmfy2k]

With knock on knock off you will find you rarely use the rear buttons.

It gets some getting used to but will come to see how pretty good the ergonomics are.

As daft as it sounds the knock on knock off is such an amazing feature

How do we check wether our 4g is disabled or enabled?

 

[numec]

and also has anyone disabled the fast dormancy setting in 3845#*802# ??
or not recommended

 

[lmfy2k]

In network settings do you see the lte option?

What software version are you on mate? Be like D802b-SEA-xx or similar.

No LTE, max is WCDMA.
My firmware: D80210b-SEA-XX
Build: JDQ39B

planning to flash UK Open firmware if it helps.

 

[numec]

After flashing UK Open: D80210b-EUR-XX

can anyone confirms this is the correct version to what you have in UK? cheers

 

[lmfy2k]

thats the same as im using now, it will give you LTE option too

not exactly sure what the UK O2 G2 is using, would be cool if someone can confirm

 

[numec]

after installing UK rom and performed reset factory setting, still no show of LTE..maybe my 3 sim?

 

[numec]

cheers for the confirmation @lmfy2k

 

[lmfy2k]

This is what I have using UK open rom

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

By the way all, you can get the 32GB black model from Expansys. They have it in stock right now!

Edit: this is an EU version, with EU plug, but the warranty is valid in the UK (say Expansys).

ah, that's where mine missing at the moment..the "LTE"

 

[ValiantUK91]

Finally got my phone today loving it but not that keen on the back anyone recommend a case for it?

 

[spinstorm]

LTE is only shown if you have a 4G SIM which three doesn't have yet.

Shown at top of screen or in network options ?

Just to confirm. I'm on t-mobile 3G contract and it shows as above screen shot.
