The Bluetooth sound is sooo bad at higher volumes...Gah! I'm going to have to flash an AOSP ROM to make it sound right.

I think anandtech has reviewed the sound quality on the LG g2. AT volumes > 90%, I believe there was significant distortion. I can't remember the article, but the Note 3 was included in testing as well I believe.

Just got the spark ota but when i check the band priority i still have b41 and b26 disable, is that normal or i have to turn it on manually?

Initiate a manual systems update on both the PRL/PROFILE then reboot and check if it corrected it.

Supposedly, the issue is related to 4.2.2 Android OS.  The issue goes away when I flash CM11/AOSP roms.  KitKat OTA will likely fix it, too.

Also - for those waiting for the ZVB update, check daily on LG's Opensource website or here.  If source for ZVB is posted, OTA is imminent.

I used to come home and have 76%-78% and that is from 6:00am when I take it off the charger to 6:00pm when I come home. Since this Spark update, I get home and the battery icon is orange, begging to be charged.

 

I know the Spark kicked in two more antenna's and now it is tri-band, which is most likely the reason for a HUGH difference in battery length. Is this something that can be corrected with a software update or it is just the world we have to live in since tri-band is now enabled on the phone?

I had the same problem and what I did was let it run till it shutdown the phone and then charged till it was fully charged powered down then restarted it and ran it till it shutdown again. Restart and charge it full again. Now it is Back to the way it was before.

I think what you are saying will work. Please help me confirm what you mean

 

1) Let phone run down till it shuts down

2) Fully charge phone

 

This is where I am a little confused:

"powered down then restarted it and ran it till shutdown again. Restart and charge full again" Can you break down the steps I quoted a little better? Please.

So you essentially just taught the phone what the battery capacity was again... the universal discharge/charge cycle for Lithium-Ion batteries that fixes the majority of those issues and is not specific to any phone or operating system.

[SteveO_148]

Exactly, I have had to use that when flashing roms in the past.

Sorry:

1. Run the battery till phone powers off.

2. Charge till green or 100%

3. Power back up and run till it powers off.

4. Then I starting charging and powered the phone back up. Keep it on the charger till 100% again.

5. That should calibrate your battery.

Hi all,

Can someone summarize the various cases that are available for the G2? This thread is nearly 200 pages long and any keyword search I do brings up all kinds of unrelated posts.

[The Dave]

The Ballistic Maxx is nice and my wife likes her Otterbox Commuter.

I have the ballistic sg case and so far it's been good, before I had a ottrrbox defender and hated the screen protector and the rubber part along the bottom felt poorly fitted since day 1. I'm gonna get a trident case if I don't get another phone.

I have an otterbox defender with an iloome screen protector. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/5421-iloome-lg-g2-screen-protector/

 

Needless to say, I love the defender as long as I'm not using the screen protector that was built into the case. (I ripped it out)

For anyone who has had terrible battery life lately due to Google Play Services, this morning at around 4 am I deleted the cache for Google Play Services and today my battery life is back to this.

 

 

No more Google Play Services taking 60% of my battery usage.

Hopefully this means sprint's should be close behind.

Anytime you see some unusual battery drain, check the Battery page in Settings and look at the usage.  Usually its the BS Google Play Services app taking up unnecessary battery.  Not only would I do the Cache thing but I make a habit of powering off your phone to restart the current state of the phone.  Sometimes the phone in its current state could be stuck on sucking resources that just need a reboot.

I got one for my son & myself.  We both like it.

I'm kinda looking at the trident cyclops case, I've had a trident kraken case before on a older phone and had zero problems. Has anyone used the trident on the g2? Just looking for a opinion on it.

Well, with the LG G2 mini being announced, they are saying it is coming out of the box with 4.4 KitKat. Once again, hopefully a sign that we will be getting it sooner than later.

 

Also, the G2 mini come with "Knock code". You knock on your screen in different places to unlock the phone, instead of tapping twice in any spot. Kind of a neat feature.
