While I loved my G2, the defective screen that was prone to develop an unresponsive band would not be covered under warranty because I had a hairline crack in the phone for >9 months prior to the issue arising (again). I did however contact sprint customer care and they processed an early upgrade. Not going to lie, I was so happy when a deal popped for 1 cent after a 2-year contract upgrade. I'm now less annoyed about the G2 warranty issue. This phone is a substantial upgrade to the G2 in everything thus far other than battery life. Even then, the battery life is pretty close, and for a penny I'm happy!

Had the exact same problem, about a 0.75 inch band across the screen that was unresponsive and then later would have phantom touches that would cause the screen to scroll and be unrepsonive. Getting my replacement today for it.

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.

Optimus DE 2.2 has been amazing. Rock solid, more fluid and better battery life. Routine get over 5 to 6 hours of screen on time at 40% brightness.

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. The sound between a G2 and a GS4 was crystal clear, The effect is actually very pronounced, I was shocked.

Any custom rom users? On the basis of overall UI smoothness and lack of bugs, can anyone compare AOSP roms (Mahdi ROM) compared to LG stock based roms like Optimus De?

I received two $50 dollar gift cards already. I swtiched from online order and was able to pick up from store. I was given one gift card upon pick up from the store (they weren't clear why I got this one) and received another in the email 3-4 days later. However, neither state the gift card was due to Phone Freedom that I signed up for a while back. I may have to ask about the Phone Freedom gift card. Hopefully could snaggle the remaining $50 gift card.

Anyone know the sprint dialer code to get to the menu to turn off High Temperature Property? I'd like to see if it stops the microstutter I experience. 1. Enter the following based on your device model: 3845#*800# (for At&T model) 3845#*801# (for T-Mobile variants) 3845#*802# (for European variants) 3845#*803# (for AT&T and Canadian variants

Handset: LG G2 LTE connectivity: Consistently none. Girlfriends GS4 maintains LTE at same location however. Location: Saint Paul, 55108

So how does this account for individuals (The Dave) who have two LG G2 side by side with only one maintaining an LTE signal?

I am getting zero 4g LTE activity and only sporadically had it when I turned on the device. For the people with consistent LTE, are you in an officially launched market?

Talked to Best Buy rep on phone 1) stated I need phone before tomorrow cause I am leaving internationally, current preorder hasn't even shipped 2) I offered store pick up, agent said yes 3) She will call store to confirm when open, 8 are in stock. 4) Not sure of gift card status, but she said it is likely I will get them 5) Patiently awaiting 10a CST for call back Overall: Extremely straightforward and pleasant experience. As always, customer service is YMMV

If anyone is wondering or had signed up for the Chose your Freedom promotion from Best Buy ($50 dollar gift card to upgrade and sign any 2-year contract agreement before 12/31/13), I have confirmed it does stack with the existing $50 gift card they are offering. In the fine print it states it shouldn't stack with any other gift cards but apparently it does. I'd call and ask to get a note placed on your order! Essentially, I am paying $7 to upgrade my phone! ($99 contract price, -$50 instant gift card, -$50 from previous offer.) Plan on trading in my Epic 4g touch to sweeten up the deal as well!

I'd venture to say its great that LG decided to buck the trend and allow you to refine the magnitude of automatic brightness changes dependent on the brightness slider. My girlfriends GS4 in general is overly bright despite auto brightness and could use 50% off each step. Of course, that's if auto brightness works in the first place! I'll have to verify this feature once I get the phone. Thanks for the feedback and your experience with the phone. It helps to get an idea of what to look for when the g2 arrives.

Sounds like you had a lemon. A fellow on xda posted a YouTube video showing the touchscreen bugging out. He used the stock note taking app to attempt to draw a straight red line - instead he got a line with sporadic juts out. Others in the thread repeated his test but were able to draw a straight line. The auto brightness also depends on where you have set your screen brightness. i haven't tried it myself(dont have the phone yet), but perhaps if you had the slider to the minimum with auto brightness on there was no room to adjust. Just a few thoughts if anyone else is experiencing these problems.
