LG G2 Users Thread!

[mrrogers1]

Thought if it was stollen the ESN would be flagged and I couldn't activate it?

Maybe they don't know yet?

Certainly wouldn't be the first time a hot device didn't get flagged before it was activated.

Interesting that all the LG G2 APN files that I downloaded are all the same.  When I compare the LG G2 APN file with LG OG APN file, you guys are right, I see a bunch of "dummy" entries in the LG G2 APN file.  I wonder what that is.

[Ascertion]

Definitely looks like a test file.. if the G2 does use it for connecting to LTE, nobody is going to connect to Band 26 or 41 with it as-is.

I haven't seen an APN-Config yet for Triband LTE devices.  We'll see one soon, I'm guessing.

The Best Buy pre-order deal just got better. G2 is now free on new contract/line, still $99 on upgrade.

Well,  looks like I'll be calling BBM as I'm still waiting for my G2 and haven't activated a line on Sprint yet.  I may even be able to put up with all this connectivity uncertainty at that price.

I can confirm that with the dummy APN config lte 1900 does not work

Just pre-ordered the White G2 from BestBuy for $100, plus a $50 GC.  The Black was out of stock.  I wanted black, and was thinking about waiting to see if would come back in stock, but decided white was ok.  I think its in high demand cause its a good deal, especially if you're a new customer then its free plus a $50 GC. WOW!

 

Nothing on the ship date though, so not sure when I'll get it.

 

Hope this LTE thing gets worked out!

He doesn't have a back cover, so I think that already knocks him out of the control group...lol

Just an FYI, as I pre-ordered back on the 11th: I called the Customer Service number, and they confirmed that you won't get the gift card via email until the phone ships. They also didn't have any ETA on the ship date. I'm guessing we won't get our order's shipped until the Nov 8th release date.

[PeterPaschal7]

For those interested in wifi performance. It seems to be better than my htc one

 

 

 

 

That's impossible!

 

Most everyone knows, the G2 does not even have Wi-Fi!

Thanks for the heads up.  I'm in no rush, I've been waiting on a triband phone since August when I was eligible for an upgrade, I can wait a bit longer.

 

I'll probably use the GC to buy that Quickwindow case if it offers decent protection from drops and such.  Anyone have one?

Only problem there is that if you are on Everything Shared Data plan and try to add new line, they more than likely will make you do the My Way plan which isn't "as good of a way" as the Everything Shared plans.  Great deal on the phone that, heck of a deal.

Is there any disadvantage of buying it at Best Buy rather than a Sprint store?
