Just to add, if your G2 is fairly new, I noticed that my battery life improved quite a bit after 2 weeks or so. I am a heavy user and keep everything on, brightness maxed, etc... and most days I'm around 10-15% when it's time for bed. Though there are some days where I hardly use the phone and...

As long as you're using the stock messaging app and not Google Hangouts, all you have to do is go to the settings app, under sound, near the bottom of the page is system sounds, you want to check the box for "voice notifications" so it says on. Then you'll also want to tap on the "voice...

I guess I'm lucky. My knock on its almost too sensitive. I have to say it works my first try nearly 100% of the time. Sometimes when I'm holding my phone with my thumb on the screen, it turns on. This happens a lot when I am using the flash light with the screen off. But both knock features...

I feel like I'm the only person who absolutely adores the rear mounted buttons. I absolutely hate my wife's GS3 because I can't hold the phone without hitting the power or volume keys since I hold the edges of the phone. I rarely have a problem feeling for the little ridges that are on my G2's...

For me, the Gmail widget works fine if it's on a home screen; it's if I use the widget on a lock screen that causes the phone to reboot when I unlock it. I took the widget off one of my lock screens and no more rebooting. Posted via Android Central App

I found that I would have this problem if I used the gmail widget on one of the lock screens. As soon I removed the gmail widget, the restarts stopped when unlocking. Posted via Android Central App

Not sure if this has been covered, but the Skinomi Carbon Fiber skin is no good. As other has said, the texture is very "scratchy" and the edges are rough. What you want to get is XGear's EXOSkin. It feels much nicer, is thinner, looks nicer, and has much better edges (because it's thinner)...
