G2 n00b

I seem to have mostly resolved the wifi connectivity issue. I switched channels and encryption protocol. Apparently, my g2 didn't appreciate AES very much. Has anyone else seen performance differences with their device when comparing AES to TKIP? If so, are they drastic? I would think AES would be fine with the g2, considering how advanced it is. I consider it to be somewhat unfortunate if I am forced to select TKIP just so I can get a decent connection. That is, unless of course there are settings I can alter in the ##data# screen that can make better use of this encryption. Is there anything I can do now that I have narrowed down the culprit?

@ danno. Welcome to my world.... you have entered the twilight zone.... >_>

No. Lululemon, actually.

Sarcasm noted. (supposing it was intended) If youre making that comment to infer that my post is disingenious because you've seen it elsewhere, then yes, I posted on one other forum (with the same user name) to get the issue resolved due to the time constraint and stayed up half the night so I could respond quickly to those with resolutions, or who needed further information. I came across that site while trouble shooting the problem myself, as to not be "one of those guys" who throws up a thread w/o doing their homework, or caring to do their homework, because they expect everyone else to solve their problems for them and waste other peoples valuable time. If you'll notice, however, the time stamp here is several hours earlier because this was going to be the only place I posted, that is until I came across the other site. It was easier to cut and paste then modify. Like I said, though, I posted here first, and was ONLY going to post here first based on my observations and real opinion because of the level of tech knowledge with the members, but it was late, I was tired, frustrated with the device, and It was easier to cut and paste real quick. So if anyone should feel like they received a generic post, it's the other forum. I'd like to believe that we're here all for the same reasons- a love of technology- and that helping one another in the community should be the primary goal, as thats what keeps the forums alive and thriving and creates the helpful atmosphere where people feel they can have there issues resolved by individuals how share the same values and passion, and who are of like mind. No direspect intended to the forum just because I found another forum to post on later. I'm on a time crunch. Hope you understand. and lolz @ this... "I am so glad that you quoted that entire lengthy post to respond with two lines. AJ" p.s. The penguin is the linux slackware penguin. Once you do slack, you'll never go back.

Thanks. That was going to be my fallback option, but I really enjoy all of the custom settings on the g2. Are they similar in the n5? and hows your battery life? That was another spec that drew me to the g2. Still not sure which is the better phone- so similar. Just didn't like the 'feel' of the 5 in my hand, but like the minimalism and lack of bloat. n5 might be better in the longrun. Doesn't appear to be so 'buggy.' and while I don't mind tinkering with computing devices (been seeing the blue screen since win '95), I'm not sure I want to be dealing with the potential hassle with a device we all rely on day in and day out to be our life blood... plus, just because I don't see/haven't experienced the other issues others have, doesn't mean they won't potentially manifest down the road. :/

technicolor tc8305c. bgn. I also had problems at the sprint store- router unknown.

Hello. First, great forum- I can feel the love, as well as the collective genius at work here. It's refreshing to find a forum where people actually know their sh*t on a real, technologically advanced level. It's relieving as well, considering the headache that my new G2 is causing... as follows: This is a Sprint device and I am still within the time frame to return if a resolution is not found. Issue: 1.) While wi-fi remains connected (doesn't drop), it is terribly slow, averaging .8 - 3 mbps. Whereas, other Samsung android devices are averaging 15-20 mbps. Internet is cable, and I have reset the modem without experiencing any performance increase. 2.) 4g is no better, averaging a mind boggling .5 mbps. (Don't even get me started on 3g- .1-.3 mbps) 3.) If 4g is even able to connect, which is rare... it disappears and and is nowhere to be found, or be (re) enabled. Attempted (unsuccessful resolutions): 1.) Performed Sprint recommended troubleshooting techniques: a.) updated profile b.) soft reset(s) c.) hard resets- multiple 2.) contacted customer care: received "refreshers," and was walked through numerous settings and performed various resets. Recommended CC resolution: return device for exchange. 3.) Sprint store attempted to identify problem, and in the process found that their demo, along with employee handsets (G2) as well as new unboxed versions had the same problem. They offered to switch to an S4 or Nexus5 for free, or wait a couple days to see if the LG rep could offer a fix. (further) Resolution: pending Here's the deal- I think we can all agree that this phone is kick ass. Therefore, I would rather not switch, as I enjoy the experience it provides, as well as the satisfaction of getting to really bond with a device when troubleshooting them. Please know that I am scouring middle earth low and wide for resolutions, and have not composed this post without first looking and becoming familiar with other peoples similiar experiences. I will continue to fact find, and I apologize for not reading all (nearly hundred) pages before posting, but time is of the nigh, as I am still within a time frame to return in case the problem is inherent to this specific device (a lemon). Plus, I don't quite understand everything you're talking about, as I've never had/chosen to dig that deep into the obscure settings and techniques I've seen listed (and also because I JUST got it) Hence, the user name- g2 n00b. So thank you in advance for your time in helping with this. It is both greatly appreciated, and not without gratitude on my part. Also, I hope I displayed proper educate by formating this post in a manner which is easy to sort through. K. let the trouble shooting begin.
