What do u hate most about the G2

[Gdwheel]

Knock on does not always work.
Call quality on the other end is not very good -- muffled. I always test it.

More fragile than the competition? Really? What makes you arrive at that conclusion?

g2 cm10.2

The edge to edge rounded glass makes it very easily scratched and chipped. Really can't use it without case. At least gs4 has a bit of a lip around glass plus better gorilla glass which I definitely notice a difference in protecting against minor scratches. The beauty of the thin bezel is totally lost when using a must have case. Also screen protectors totally suck.

It's a shame nobody can make a beautiful phone that's safe on its own without a horrible case

Plus as mentioned before, there is hardly any after market goodies for this phone. The phone itself is an after market rip off with all the best specs thrown together at the expense of support.

I'm very partial to cases because I can't see how to keep the phone blemish free, like-new, pure...without using a case.

I agree, most folks who use any smart phones usually are nicked after 6 months of use. With these newer phones with marginal bezel, the dropping the phone is a big un-bueno.

+1 for the terrible range/angle of the IR blaster. It takes a lot of patience for it to function on my LG TV and Ceton Media Center Extender. Seems that either the blaster's IR light output is too dim for the devices to 'see' it from more than 10 feet or it has an incredibly narrow field of view due to its small size or dim output. Hopefully they will address this in a software update or someone figures out how to increase it's output power through enhanced drivers. Here's to hoping!

This suggestion is really pointed at the CyanogenMod community as I doubt LG will spend any time on this.

No removable battery/SD slot.

I know it'll take time getting use to, but had gotten use to my 7000mh battery with my s3

I hate how a 5.2 inch screen is advertised yet part of that screen is used up by these non removable action buttons... Aside from that I love the phone. Just wish it utilized it's whole screen.

How yall liking the buttons on the back of the phone.

Love it. I like bigger phone, but have stubby fingers. I've struggles with side buttons on my other phones. I did have trouble with the "flatness" of the rear buttons, but now I have a ballistics case on it which give them a nice, easy to discern feel.

I felt the same way at first about the lack of SD slot...but to be honest, every phone I've ever had with an SD slot gave me problems. At some point the card always gets corrupted, or the phone no longer reads having a card, every single time.

I agree. I dislike the on screen buttons. I compared it to my S4, and those on screen buttons do take up a lot of space and it's actually smaller than 5.2 inches when you see the space they take up. I think it would have been perfect if LG would have removed the on screen buttons and instead would have used the LG logo as the action home button. Then to the right and left of it, they would have placed the menu and back buttons.

It's funny, I barely notice that the onscreen buttons take up any screen. They certainly don't take up any screen real estate that prevents me from having enough screen to do what I need. I guess it's kind of like the Dock in OSX or the Windows Bar in Windows. I don't worry about my 24in monitor being less than 24 inches...I didn't when it was 15 either.

I dislike the lack of SD card memory expansion.
I dislike the poor speaker quality (compared to the S4 and One).
I find the positives (especially battery life) strongly outweigh the things I dislike.

I hate every time I pull up the gallery I can't hide naked pictures of my wife. There's no pass code lock to folders. All anyone have to do is select unhide.

Okay, I am desperate for help here. I am getting LOUD popping noises when my phone is plugged into my 2007 Camry Hybrid's AUX connection. I am getting these popping noises via my car's speakers when I press home screen buttons (messaging, voicemail, Spotify, etc.) as well as when I change songs on Spotify or Pandora. It also makes the same terrible noise when I loose connectivity while streaming music and the speakers make the POP sound at times when I reconnect. The funny thing is is that sometimes I hear no pops, and then minutes later the pops are back. I am in pure misery and it makes listening to music in the car via my phone IMPOSSIBLE to endure. :'(

I took it in to the Sprint dealer and they turned off all button press noises and haptic feedback as well, but that was the on the 14th day I had it. I told them I was not happy with the phone and they suggested I try a different AUX cable. I bought an expensive audiophile cable, and no dice--I still have the terrible popping sound. I had no trouble with my Samsung connected via Boost and since my car and my cable are the same, it clearly is THIS phone.

Is anyone else having this issue? I am heading back over to the Sprint store to discuss these concerns yet again and have them look at the phone. I like the phone, but the static I sometimes get on calls and moreover this POPPING are going to drive me mad. Anyone having similar issues? Anyone have any idea on how to stop the popping sound when using an AUX cable in the car? Thanks everyone!

You really should create a new thread for this issue.

But do you get the same result with headphones plugged in? Honestly just sounds like a bad headphone jack.

LOL, I've go back to the list of threads and I've see you posted it. Sorry.

 

[childproofedcapsonheranswers]

Yeah, I am thinking the same. It doesn't seem like many people are having the same issue, so it may just be that I got a lemon. The thing is I've customized everything now, and I don't want to have to redo all that I have done--is there a way they can save all your settings and homescreen wallpaper and icon changes, etc? I think I need to get a new G2 and see if the issue is the same. I also need to try my phone and the cord in someone else's car to see if for some reason it is my AUX connect in my car (but I have no reason to believe that is the case). Just frustrated and searching out any info. I can get before I decide! Thanks!
