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

I would highly recommend getting a 32gb version if you think you need the extra space. Other than that I would say I have no complaints about the phone having had mine for a couple of days now.
As Jabbs has said, it is easily held in one hand, and one-handed use is manageable.

I've got a slim plastic case because the back, in my opinion, is definitely slippy and not the most solid feeling.

I'll repeat what I said earlier, I absolutely love the knock on to wake/sleep feature. When you start using this you'll wonder why no-one has done it before.

i thought the back would be slippery, that is a shame, but there doesnt seem to be many that dont have these tacky backs. (i have the razr maxx HD with a kevlar back). I find my hands really dont go well with plasticy phones so would need to use a gel case with this then

what case do you have out of interest?

 

[Jabbs]

Knock on is great i have never used the power button once yet no need too.

LG G2 RUBBERISED BACK COVER CASE
on Amazon for 3.95. This is not really rubber, it's just plastic. Not a tremendous amount of grip (no texture, just a subtle rubberized feel) but more grip than the phone itself. It does the job for me.
I'm sure there are loads of cheap cases that can be found.

If anyone wondering what's its like without the on screen buttons I did root mine and used a program to hide the soft keys, makes it look so much better. Only had me ipad 3 so pics not best.

How do you make the keys come back up?

 

[Jabbs]

Just swipe up from bottom, I have had issues with games for example but just turn it on and off after I done its fine on web etc.

 

[B&W]

Wouldn't mind rooting for my XZ but then I wont be able to use certain apps.

 

[Jabbs]

Why they put onscreen buttons on phones is beyond me.

What app is that?

 

[infernox]

Just got it.

I can't upload any photos as my other phone has decided it doesn't want to do anything today.

I got the quickview cover free with three. 29 a month 500 mins 5000texts unlimited data.

I don't even have to use the knock on as the case when opened turns on the screen and unlocks it which is cool.

The phone is amazing. 60% brightness and it smashes my other phone out of the water lol. Even on full.

Loving the network speeds with 3. 20 mbs download even in my dank pit and free upgrade to 4g when it comes in december.

I haven't even had to use the buttons on the back yet as i can unlock the phone with the knock on or the case.

Really impressed atm. Will tell you guys if anything is crappy over the next couple of days.

But yeah 2.3ghz snapdragon come at me bitches.

What are LG like with rolling out updates? Are they better than the shocking effort Samsung puts in?

Thanks, the material looks fine.
Where exactly is the front nled on this?

 

[Jabbs]

Top of the phone the led is on the front and its perfectly visible

You can't see it, but it's actually placed directly to the left of the top speaker, right of the oblong sensor. You'll only see it when the led is lit.

Someone on xda posted a picture of some information for sales staff saying that they are working on a kitkat update...

Thats good, my old samsung had it at the bottom of the phone which was annoying at times

Ive bought out my 02 contract (ending in december and only 10/m) so in a few days i can get this. need to try it before
Watched a few vids, it does look fantastic tbh

 

[horrorwood]

Does anyone else get fluctuating signal? Mine goes from 1 to 5 bars and from H to H+. With my nexus 4 here it just stays on full signal and H+...

 

[infernox]

Nope mines been great. . Used 350mb since yesterday. O2 would have a fit if I used that much data. So glad I moved to three.

The camera is really good, a picture of my friends GTA.

 

[kona786]

Any PP on that pic?

Very nice quality.
