Phone has been great so far besides the lte issue. Camera works great. Good battery life. Dislike the speaker placement, but I was also coming from an HTC One. The buttons on the back were easy to get used to, but with the knock on feature you really don't need to use them often.

To the people reporting poor Band 25 reception.   Did you enable Band 26 and Band 41?   Maybe Sprint was already ahead of you on this and you actually are causing the problem?   Maybe they made

I am waiting for my pre order from Best Buy, its killing me.

 

So I got the not connecting thing. How do you guys feel about the phone itself after having it for a couple days?

 

Been great.  For me battery life hasn't been amazing, but it definitely acceptable. Today I listened to podcasts at work over bluetooth for 8 hours or so and was at 23% battery when I left.

 

Really liking the keys on the back, only downside is when it's in a car dock it's hard to get to the volume buttons.

 

Coming from a note 2, I haven't even noticed the difference in screen size.  Noticeably smoother than the note 2.

I agree with the car dock issue. Though I do appreciate that they have a setting to allow the home screen in portrait and landscape mode.

Car dock is an issue, but I use macrodroid to set the volume all the way up when paired to my car's Bluetooth.

8 hrs of bluetooth podcasts and 23% remaining seems really good. How does that compare with other devices?

 

Can't the volume be easily adjusted on the front in that case via the notification shade?

My Note Could go 10+ podcasting with some Wifi tethering thrown in for good measure.  Like I said it's still acceptable.

 

Yeah the volume can be adjusted from the notification area but it's hard to hit such a small target while driving.

Anyone noticed the phone emitting a high pitch sound at time. I didn't notice it until making phone calls but when its quiet I can here it or put the back of the phone to my ear.

That high pitched sound is the G2 squealing, "Where is my other half?!  Who's got my back?!"

On another note. Has anyone else noticed the grid layout of pressure points on the screen? Can't recall seeing this on any of the Sammy phones

It's a LG thing. The Optimus G from last year had them also.

What is this?  I didn't notice anything funny about the G2 demo unit at Best Buy, but I haven't used the phone that much.

I only noticed it outside in sunlight they almost sparkle. I guess its a cheaper touch sensing system. Also dissent appear to be as accurate.. Could be the 1080p I don't know but I'm fat fingering a lot on this phone...especially websites with links near each other

The Nexus 4 has them too. Not visible when viewing the screen with the display on. But if you turn off the screen and twist the device to just the right light reflection you can see these tiny indentations in the screen spread out every half inch or so.

 

It doesn't detract from the experience at all. It is only visible with the device off. And it's only visible at a viewing angle that you would never use your device.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it won't be on a Sammy because the super amolded screen. 

 

That grid layout is the digitizer.  It does not consist of "pressure points" -- those would be on a resistive touch screen, not a capacitive touch screen.

 

Additionally, every touch screen uses a digitizer.  And the LG touch screen is not "cheaper."  If it is anything like last year with the Optimus G, it uses an in cell digitizer, meaning the LCD panel and digitizer are combined into one layer.  Other smartphones and tablets use separate screen and digitizer layers, making those devices thicker.

This guy that stole the G2's in Indiana and ended up in Louisville definitely has accomplices. Who do you think bonded him out of jail quickly?  

 

I hope they find whoever is behind the theft and put him or her away.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
