How do u disable carrier IQ?

The only thing I hate is the keyboards on Android. Autocorrect sucks is the worst. I miss Windows Phone keyboard and Autocorrect. Everything else I like about the device

Settings>Apps>All>Android System>Force Stop>Scroll down to IQ Services>Disable
(It will come back after a rebott, so you'll have to do this again.)

I remember someone was renaming some files, but was having errors everytime they booted, but it was easier than having to disable manually.
Maybe it worked on rooted devices.. oh well, have you compared performance/battery/data usage difference with and without CiQ?

I was having some minor battery issues (6% use per hour) and I stopped Carrier IQ and also stopped GPS and WiFi. The battery use improved a whole bunch so I have left Carrier IQ stopped and GPS off. I have since turned WiFi back on and the battery life is amazing!!!

I recommend you try SwiftKey, Google keyboard, or Swype, you can get all these on the Google Play Store

I'd like to add TouchPal to that list. Best keyboards on the market for sure.

Honestly, All phones have issues... Some are isolated issues where <10% are effected. If you check out every phone section in here, there is always a thread that says "(Phone name here) (specific hardware/software here) issues" As of Running out of the box, my LG G2 ran well. (tmobile version though) The battery lasted a day with around 40% juice (moderate-almost heavy user) Charging time is quick. No Lags except for certain apps that lag on all phones when opening. Camera isn't really great with moving objects but still objects come out fantastic. Call Quality is great. LG UI is okay but for me I changed it to a Nova Launcher because i prefer a stock android look (just preferences, no need for you to change it) After a week, I rooted mine since i want more control over my phone(you dont have to) and your G2 will perform incredible.

Where?
to those with G2, did you get a screen protector? People complained it doesn't fit properly due to curved glass and since there is no "Frame" to hold it in place, unless you go with $25 screen protector and willing to spray your device with mystery liquid.

Is this true can we not get a screen protector to stay on this?

I bought SuperShieldz screen protector for the G2 on Amazon:
Amazon.com: super shieldz for lg g2
Pack of 6 for $2.49 + $2.99 shipping. Perfect fit on G2. I recommend them if you want a screen protector.

Not anymore, I didn't care what those people said so I just went with Oblique Crystal screen protector and it stays on perfectly, because it is not cut exact, just a tad bit small, but when you have a screen protector and case it works very well, you barely see the screen protector, so don't worry, I tested it myself and it works, no need to worry about screen protector anymore. I think those who had that problem either did not apply it correctly or had incorrect size cut.

Interesting, they got quite a few neg feedback especially about not staying on the phone. This was not an issue for you? What carry version do you have?
Thanks

I use the following screen protector and case very satisfied with both. Don't understand the bad reviews on the screen protector but it fits perfect and doesn't even look like it has one on it. I used the same brand for my Nexus 4 with the same results.

[donm527#IM]

Not true. I have supershieldz and fits just fine.
I really dont see how people would say the glass is curved... maybe just a tad rounded at the edges.
but not compared to my nexus 4... i found finding a good sealing protector tougher on that phone than this one.

I was going to get the poetic but didn't like the added depth.
Heck, even the diztronic case feels like It's hiding this beautiful near 0 bezel.

Wish we all could keep it naked th day it's meant to be.

Really to many bugs geeze ok if u say so. I've had my G2 since launch I rooted only so I can run ad blocker, bugs no bugs. But if really if your looking for a solid phone built tough super easy to use with pretty colorful squares no widgets I would go with apples newest iPhone 5s. That'll be your best bug free experience device u need.

May as well be talking chinese honestly. This is why I don't want to root. Im a contractor not a tech guy. It seems like there are too many bugs at this point. I have made the decision to look elsewhere. Ashame really like the phone.

Here's the deal about screen protector on a G2 since there is no bezel when install protector and a case the will rub up against the edges the protector causing it to lift slightly. Spegal and some quality screen makers fixed it by not making there protectors go all the way to edge. But by doing that some customers are whining about it not going all the way to the edge. Some times u can't win.

Where?

I mentioned in few threads.
Oblique clear works well does not come off and fits great with Diztronic case. You can barely see the protector.

I'm using a poetic palette and love it... very minimum protection for the back but i've used similar on my nexus 4 and am pretty good with my phones so it works for me. for me when locked into the phone it gives it a very solid dense feel and no problems with the supershieldz with it.

it's not something that's just unique with the g2. that will happen with most phones you buy depending on the type of case... just have to be careful and make sure the overlap on the lip goes over the edge of the screen protector and you're ok. we deploy iphones with otterboxes and that's the way it is with those too.

I've only had the phone for a month, and I'm not a heavy user. But I haven't had any of the problems others have noted. The first and only shield I installed is still on the phone, it installed easily, and you can hardly tell that it's there. I have the AT&T version of the phone.
