Verizon G2: What DON'T you like about this phone?

[jrjones60]

I don't like the fact that I can't have my own ringback tones like I can with ringtones. I can download from the internet to my desktop computer and then transfer tones to my G2 but then can only select them for ringtones and do not have the option to select them for a ringback tone.

Overall I love the G2. The screen is excellent, the 2Gb memory is plenty of RAM, CPU is very responsive-apps run perfectly. I like the camera for the most part but have had run-ins with the slow focus, but still a nice picture when I tap on the focus region before snapping. Battery is very good, still with a lot of use and WiFi on it starts to run down by the end of the day - but it is a good battery for a phone with this much power.

OK - Things I don't really like that much:
1. Glass design with near zero bezel width results in very fragile design in terms of screen toughness/reliability. Phone must be in case 100% of life IMO - should ship phone in a case ;-) Wider design with some additional bezel width and in addition thicker Gorilla Glass 3 top glass would be welcome.
2. Love the QuickRemote app for the phone, works with all my devices but the IR signal appears to be rather weak. I need to be within 5-6 feet of my Vizio TV to control it ( the G Pad 8.3 works from 12-15 feet but alas that QuickRemote app is limited to only TV and Cable Box devices ??why LG?? ).
3. Knock-on feature - great idea with a poor implementation / execution. It only works under limited circumstances and not completely consistently. I would like to rely on it as a way to wake / sleep the display but it is simply too unreliable to be considered a true "release quality" feature.
4. The stock keyboard is unusable IMO. I would recommend LG cut a deal with Swype or SwiftKey to include a modern keyboard with the phone out of the box. Tap keyboards are dead technology on modern smartphones, i.e. now expected to either tap or draw on a touch screen keyboard.
5. Want a micro-SD card slot (not a major problem, but since the phone is such a performance beast I would love to have extra 32 or 64 Gb of media storage available).
6. Not a big fan of the back buttons after a few months of use. I frequently fumble to find the 'on' button (see knock-on problem desc.) and typically find my finger in the picture when trying to use the back buttons to snap a picture. If the back buttons are useful for snapping photos (which some say they like) then physically separate the camera lens from those buttons by an inch or two.
