In November 2014 I bought an LG G2 phone with a 12 month guarantee. In December 2015 it crashed and so, with 1 month over the guarantee expiry, I have had to buy a new phone. Upto then I was very happy with my LG!
Has anyone else had similar experience?

...., 17 Jan 2016It is worth to buy this phone on this yearin my opinion if u can get it from a trusted retailer yes .... the battery is amazing screen and camera fucntions ..runs everything u put on it with an easy even still is reference for comparations with newer devices check on youtube.... still stands next to s6,g4,v10 and others no to say that it beats the g3 in performance.remember to get it new status ,not used or refurbished other wise u wont get the real experince of having this monster..... check reviwes on selelrs page and get it.. it is cheaper than many midrangers that cant beat the g2 ...plus there will be a new update might be 5.1.1 or 6.0 afetr all.

So this is the verdict:
I had the phone for 1 year now and the phone yes it has flaws and other issues but overall its a good bang for your buck.Very good camera,a nice screen,and nice design are all a small part of the many things this phone has.Android Lolipop on this phone is some what stable and my give some users like it did to me a slight over heating issue.Now the phone is to mod if you get sick of the normal look you can always install Cloudy G2 3.3,and you can root it now over kingoo root.The phone is durable,fast,the screen is nice and crisp,it never froze once but if you want the phone to peform at its very best just leave android 4.4.2.For its 230€ price tag now its a better choice than a G3 that has slight lag and battery issues.

haider, 16 Jan 2016I brought Lg G2 from soneone... it was working 100% ok but ... moreit can be both but hardware is more likely.
there was a firmware update that fixed some of these issues so first try updating to a more recent version if its still on 4.2.
no need to install 5.0 as it should have bin fixed in 4.4 if its still not working your screen is broken.
not sure about the repair costs.

Not quite true. The phone is old, that is a fact and as such it is becoming difficult to find one in good condition but otherwise...
Most of the advanced features you mentioned are supported by the phone. Even the wireless charging is supported by one of the American variants and is by no means standard feature even today. The point about software is right, but frankly, the Marshmallow is not yet such a leap forward over Lollipop. You should probably make clear what league of devices are you comparing. The newest flagship phones have already surpassed the G2 by far but even though it sports old hardware, it is still more than competitive in its current price range, where the "high midrange phones" are usually significantly crippled to not weaken the sales of flagship products and where the old SD 800 is still slightly faster over the new SD 615 and 617 used on many of such devices.

Sunny Nimesh, 16 Jan 2016No doubts it's a good phone as i'm personally using it. How... moresorry but u are wrong ... all advance features that u mentioned lg G2 have then already i think that u dont have the device and if u do them i only use it for chat..... even being old this phone is one of the few that garante excellent battery life,good screen to body ratio size and performace ... graphic card is still good it can run all games valiables if that is the case,emulators too,, but if u want to chat then u get a lot of battery juice with the G2 personally i dont care a lot about software updates as long as u have skinned ui,because it has more features that stock android still doesnt include so... i dont care about new versions that exclude and then include features example disturb / silent mode.... if u really use the device with all cores and gpu then go for a galaxy phone for 2015 but if u love lg then wait for sd 820 it ll beat everything .... and if updates are a concern then get an iphone.

Compared to recent Phones this phone doesn't stand along with them anymore. Please sell it off and buy a new phone. I Also Own an LG G2 And now i'm also looking forward to change it as i'm very dissapointed with LG because of infinite delay towards Software updates of Android.

Anonymous, 09 Jan 2016Hi, im looking for a budget phone that has quality display,... moreNo doubts it's a good phone as i'm personally using it. Howeveras it's 2016 it's too old to make a puchase. Would suggest you to buy a new phone with a latest chipset and some more advanced features like Wireless charging,NFC,Quick Charging & some other advanced features. Moreover the LG G2 also have software limitations because it's not getting an upgrade after the 5.0 Lollipop which also have many Bugs. Reconsider your choices,if you have a good budget go for the NEXUS Device i.e 6P or else go with One Plus 2, ASUS & Several others.

zaks, 10 Jan 2016Is it advisable for me to download third party battery app ... more No no and NO! 99% of these apps do the exact opposite!
They disable apps but your phone will automaticly restart them most of the times.
That means it costs cpu time = battery to disable apps + it costs cpu time = battery to keep this battery app active which is the biggest drain + it costs cpu time = battery to reenable the disabled apps.
If your phone works correctly they will not use power anyway.
The only thing you can actualy save power on on your Phone are the following things:
- Disable gps when not using it.
- Disable mobile network data when at home.
- Disable bluetooth when not using it.
- Learn to live with lower brightness! (massive save as after gpu and gps its the nr1 drain!)
- Disable Syncing this can be a big save
This will stop the mail program from auto recieving mail but you can do this manualy by dragging the screen down anyway.
it will also stop the auto functions of some other apps like syncing to the cloud which can be a massive drain.
Disabling wifi when leaving home does save some battery but that amount is so small i would not bother as most likely the fact you might forget to enable when coming to a location with wifi costs you more battery then disabling will gain you (less then 1% a day on a correctly functioning G2).
So manage that things and stay away from these horrible battery apps.
Also battery calibration does not excist so stay away from those aswell those apps should be removed from the play store by google!
Do this and 7 hours screen on over 3 days should be easy as a medium user. a heavy user might get 6 hours a light used that doesnt use a lot of apps like me easely should get 8+ hours of screen on time with 72 hour standby.
My record is 10 hours 15 min over 4 days with just whatsap usage.
