I'm really torn between what we know about the G2 and the updates on the Nexus devices.
I'm coming from an Atrix, which was crapped on by Motorola, so I don't want get stuck on another device without updates or plenty of custom roms.
I don't think the Nexus 5 will be as good specs wise as the G2, but it will likely have more custom roms.
If you have the G2 now, how happy are you with it?
Do you feel there is a decent community building around the G2?
I can get an LG G2 from O2 in the UK for £10, and £22 a month, which may be cheaper than getting a Nexus 5 on contract.

I am having the same thoughts too.
Bigger screen and battery, better camera.
But I would only want paranoid rom on my phone. Pie is the best for no hw buttons.
I can only hope when n5 comes out, the source will greatly help in g2 aosp roms
I think nexus devices have more aosp Roms. But devices with vendor overlays typically have a better variety of roms. Though the aosp run smoother in nexus devices. Cm is looking very promising for the g2.

I don't even understand all these talks comparing the Nexus 5 to the LG G2.
There is one thing which is much more important than all other factors: While both don't have replaceable battery, the G2 has a 3000mah battery, while the Nexus 5 has a 2300mah battery. All other differences are negligible (Stock android or not, KitKat or 4.2.2, etc.).
Once the battery is at 0%, your phone becomes nothing but a paperweight, and this is going to happen much much (much) sooner with the Nexus 5.
I just picked up the LG G2, Its a beast.

I'm not comparing, they're just the two phones I keep thinking about. I agree that the battery is a good draw, but as long as I can get from 7am to 10pm on light/medium usage I'll be happy.
I think the big issue with the Atrix updates was Nvidia, and with the N5 and G2 having similar hardware and also coming from LG, I would hope there was some transfer, similar to N1 and the HTC Desire.
I've seen reviews moaning about LG's software overlay, but people here sound happy enough, and with CM 10.1 I'm hopefully other custom Rome will follow.
I think I'm talking myself into it!

I'm completely satisfied with my decision to get the G2. Although I'm on Verizon and I couldn't have a Nexus 5 if I wanted, I'd still have this opinion.

On "light" use, maybe. On moderate use - hard to believe.
With the Nexus 5 and anything over light use, you're going to become an "electricity outlet zombie".

The problem I always have with people who base their opinions off of others is that they don't think for themselves and assume whatever people tell them is the holy truth. Go to the store and try the LG g2 yourself and decide if the LG skin is really that bad. I have tried the LG skin and I don't have major issues with it but only minor issues with the notification bar.

See that's the thing. Many reviewers just can't find anything wrong with the G2 that they will write as much as possible about their own personal whims, like this guy who takes all his strength to slam the phone as hard as he can, especially on the software part http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013...-gets-caught-living-in-the-shadows-of-giants/
I'm pretty sure the majority of people don't think LG UI is that bad. Even if the drawer is cluttered, just root and flash the verizon-esque notifications mod. It's not that hard.

LG UI is actually pretty good, it's smooth and functional. It may seem a bit too much for some people but for average users it is actually quite nice.
G2 bro. Why get a watered down "Value G2" with empty stock? The fact you have to root it to like it defeats the purpose alone. Buy the phone that works out the box. G2 is my dream phone. I'm done with boring stock. I need features and battery.

I haven't seen one in the stores yet, and I've been in a few last Friday. Hopefully I'll find one today. Everyone seems enthusiastic, and there seems to be more activity in the forums, which gives me hope.
Is the UK variant the same as an existing model in the dev forum?
My other thought was that if i'm not happy I can always sell it and get the same amount of money as I would in need to buy the N5 outright.
Thanks for all your input.

It was between the g2 - note 3 - nexus 5 and I after much hands on testing and research I am fully confident that my choice in getting the g2 was a good one. Had it for 2 weeks and am loving it. The lg ui isn't bad at all and the features the stock rom offers are pretty good. I prefer double tapping the screen to turn on/off over to pressing a physical button, not just on this phone but any phone. Best battery life of any phone I've ever used, feels like ur using an extended battery. And the phone is slick with no hiccups. Go g2. Or wait for the galaxy s5.
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk 2
This G2 is by far the best phone I have owned. I'm still in awe that I can get 26 hours of battery life and still be at 10%.
The UI is fine by me in all aspects. Feels like stock but with some nice touches added. Love this phone and glad they had the Keep Your Unlimited Weekend!

What features are particularly desirable in the Custom Roms?
It seems easy enough to replace the Launcher and very heavily de-bloat the System.
The CPU is already fast enough to negate minor speed tweaks, although they're still possible.
You can already do per app DPI/resolution changes.
I appreciate custom roms as much as the next guy, but it seems to me that once you've changed the launcher, hidden the soft keys (Auto Hide Soft Keys) and changed the DPI, there's little stock (LG) left that's obtrusive.
Most of the stock tweaks are minimal:
QSlide floating apps are useful, but unobtrusive if you don't need it.
Tap on/off is actually useful.
It could really do with OpenMic like the Motorola.
To me I can't see how much we're losing or gaining on the custom roms, and it seems inevitable that they'll arrive soon enough anyway. CleanRoms are already out.
I've remapped the back button keys to give me a dedicated menu and back button. Although frankly, I almost never use the hardware buttons.
It's a great piece of hardware, but strongly recommend the 32GB variant.

If I get a G2 in the UK, what development thread should I be following, as there are three custom forums and a generic development thread. I've learned from my works G S3 that there are different versions and you have to follow the correct version.
I've been out and played with one in the shop, and played with a dummy phone, and it feels nice.
EDIT: Just placed my order, and hope to have it tomorrow!!
I hope to be become a valid member of the G2 community, and will try to help test etc where needed.

Can someone help me? This phone is really starting to piss me off. Mainly it's the keyboard, I've tried several different keyboards but they're all pure undriven ****.
Ok, maybe not necessarily THAT bad but... First off, I can't type fast on these and my normal typing speed is VERY fast. I'm not sure if it's the ROM or the keyboards. Secondly, does every frakking phone out there have to have a crappy small spacebar with other GARBAGE surrounding it?
Alot of them like periods or commas, or enter keys near the spacebar, granted, this is a really lousy small screen. But after hitting.the.period.key.for.the.50.millionth.time I'm ready to scream and throw my phone against the wall.
Not only that but the keys are small, and I'm constantly hitting the wrong keys and typing some ridiculous word that's completely out of context.
Keyboards I've gotten are:
Adaptxt Beta
Big Buttons Keyboard
Gingerbread Keyboard
SlideIT
Smart Keyboard pro
Lastly... I've yet to find a good rom. The one I'm currently on is Jokersax CM9 July 21st Build. It's ok, but it's not great. It constantly kills apps when they crash in it. Facebook - god forbid I rotate the screen, that'll screw it up for sure. And other such quirks.
I'm about ready to give up on this phone. Any help?

You do know CM9/CM10 are unstable/testing/experimental ROMs, right? Until Moto releases the appropriate drivers+kernel, don't even think of expecting any stability, despite other people's experience. Other than official Moto firmware, CM7 is the only that can deliver a decent degree of stability.
As for the keyboard... Yes, I do agree it can be annoying. I came from the G1 and its absolutely stunningly awesome hardware keyboard, no soft touchy keyboard in the world could ever dream of topping that. Plus, the screen is pretty roomy for most things but not so much for typing. Because of all this I sometimes get mad at the touchy kbd too, it can really piss me off sometimes. But it's not really that bad, I'm getting used to it. As for your issues, are you sure you're not dealing with a faulty or dying digitizer?

Yeah I know they're experimental. I used to have Dark Side, then Nottachtrix, and then CM7, and none of them really worked as good as I'd liked. Switch to CM9, but it's not that great either. I just can't find a ROM that's JUST RIGHT... Sigh.
As for the keyboard, who knows, it's only a year and half old, so it'd be a real shame if it's already dying. I think it's more just - there's no good keyboard for the atrix out there, and the screen is just too freaking small. Seriously giving the Samsung Galaxy III some thought.

As far as keyboards go, until its most recent update, Swiftkey 3 worked well for me. Now, anytime I start a sentence with certain letters, it thinks I've pushed that letter like 10 times. SSsssssso wwwwwwwwwords look like that. I know it's not the digitizer for me at least, because no other type of keyboard or application has the problem. I just went back to the stock keyboard and the spacebar issues bug me too, but I've learned to get around it.
As far as ROMs go - make your own? This stuff is free and I've had phones with some quirks or bugs from a ROM, but then I remember most of the stuff works and the additional stuff makes it even more worth it. So, let's wait until we get some official ICS and then maybe the CM9/10 stuff will be much more stable.
Swiftkey 3 works perfectly for me.
Swiftkey keyboard is really good. Probably the best apart from the stock jelly bean keyboard. As for the rom, you'll need a gingerbread based rom of you want something stable. I would suggest neutrino which has a huge keyboard

I've looked at Neutrino... maybe I'll give it a try tonight, it can't hurt. Thanks for all the keyboard tips everyone!! I'll give both Swiftkey and Smartkeyboard pro another try. Maybe I missed a setting which will save my sanity.
Swype has been a good keyboard for me.
I have been using SwiftKey since SwiftKey X beta and found it really easy to get the hang of, the predictions are really good and it has a large spacebar, I think there is a demo so give it a try, best virtual keyboard I have used. Hopefully some of your other issues will be sorted with the ICS update.
Sent from my Atrix
I really like the stock Motoblur keyboard. I find it more responsive and accurate than the stock keyboards on the other ROMs. Granted, I haven't used any third-party keyboards...
Yeah, the moto kb actually works well. Otherwise I use swype in portrait and SwiftKey 3 in landscape.
Be patient at least until we get an official ics, leak...
I just got an atrix, coming from a desire z. i really really miss the hw kb, and I'm frustrated too because dz roms were much better defined as well.
BUT, the devs here are active and seem to know their stuff. I'm stoked for what they do with an official ics release. I feel like the golden age of the atrix may not be over, but still to come.
Btw, I'm on th3bills aokp milestone 6 release (ics not jb) and I'm pretty happy.

SwiftKey is brilliant as a non stock keyboard. It improves your tapping with very simple auto correct and punctuation as you type. I have rarely experienced performance issues on any moto, cm7, cm9 or cm10 roms.
If you use an app to monitor your cpu, you should be able to see if there is something causing issues. Apps do misbehave. I recommend System Panel and Better Battery Stats to drill down into the underlying performance.
If you factory wipe, you should not experience any issues with the ROM of your choice. If you do, then you have faulty hardware. Reseatting the ribbon connectors would be the first step. Drinking beer in large quantities is recommended when you do this.

So cm7 is your current rom of choice and the factory wipe did the trick. Well done. Neutrino is a fine rom. The only thing I didn't like about his work was lack of charge while off code. I.e. The device has to power up completely in order to charge.

If what you're saying is correct, a device with Neutrino and a dead battery is a brick.....
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but charging while off is not Rom dependant but kernel dependent (or even lower level than kernel I believe). Nothing is loaded when off....
I have neutrino and it charges just fine, even when off.

I may be out of touch on this then as when I was testing Neutrino, charging while off caused the phone to fully boot. I concluded at the time, that he had stripped out the code that handles charging. Glad to hear that has since decided to add back that portion. I do believe however that charging is an Android feature and not related to kernel How else could the pretty battery image display?

Did everyone go buy a Microsoft Winblows Surface or what?
I've had the 10.1 since day 1 in the US.I watched the "Development" and the "Original Development" forums start out slow then swell to huge numbers where there was a new ROM every day it seemed.I remember when JB came out and we all started out with Darkman's German release ( I stayed up most of the night hitting refresh as more and more people commented on the progress of their individual downloads to see who would be the first few to flash it) ...now it seems very quiet indeed . I dont think there has been a better tablet made yet than this one (as far as pure hardware stats go plus the s-pen) sure a few have higher stats in one area or the other but from my research I would say that 8013/8000/8010 are still King.Possibly with the exception of 8020.
Anyway Ive rambled long enough but if anyone has any thoughts I'd love to hear them.Again the question was.1)Has ayone else noticed a drop off in traffic in "Note 10.1 Original Android Development" & "Note 10.1 Android Development"?
2)Why do you think its happening?
Thank for reading.

Only device i have that is Fine stock
I would agree with some of the others above and some from other post in this forum. The note is one of the best most well thought out android devices. The only device i have ever owned that i have not played with the rom on. Thou Im considering the extra mutli rom app to add a few non muli view apps to mulit view.. But with that said more and more apps are becoming available for multi view.. Samsung has done well with the note no doubt..
Conclusion is.. There is less people in this forum because there are more people Happy with the Note and what it offers Stock. Rom dev has slowed because the note is great as is. Also i will add i think its a tougher device to mess with its Rom due to s-pen and the touch wiz
...

I thought I'd hate TW, but other than rooting it (and upgrading the kernel out of habit 'cause that's what I do for a living anyway) I run a Stock ROM.
more updates will come and new ROM will be made .. 4.1.2 has been out for a while and 4.2 should be coming soon.. also not many things wrong with note on stock and cm based ROM is not taking advantage of the note full features.. Maybe Google will add some of Samsung features in android 5.0..
Just read last night that the note 10.1 has only about 3% of android tablet market share. I was surprised it was so low. Maybe that's why there isn't a lot of activity.

The price point is too high for the note 19.1or 8 to get much market share. Samsung is rolling in the dough because of carrier subsidies of their high end phones. If those end, they're going to have to make adjustments to their pricing or they stand to see their market share fall.

Let's hope Samsung can unbreak JB 4.2. Nexus device owners are reporting in the Google Code forums that BT remains broken in the latest iteration of 4.2. Audio BT seems completely broken (including in auto BT systems) while other BT devices may connect but then shut down, requiring a device reboot. Merging Android into Chrome doesn't bode well, which seems to be the direction Google is going as evidenced by the shift of Android to the manager of Chrome.

Looks like the results are based on devices that install their app. Not really an accurate gauge imo
I used to frequent the Asus Transformer forums a lot because I was going crazy with installing different roms and doing whatever I can to the device. With the Note, I actually use it for pretty well-defined purposes and so I haven't really had any inclination to change it in any way since it's already so damned useful. I mean, once I got the multiwindow to work for all apps, I didn't need any additional customizing so I only occasionally glance at these forums. :/ The troubles of being so good.

That's pretty much true. The N7100 forum is pretty quiet too. Want to see a ghost town, go check out the TF700 forum. The Note 10.1's nine months old which, in the tech world, means not so fresh anymore. I still wouldn't trade mine for anything. So, no news is good news. Samsung's been pushing features of their newer devices down via updates so 4.2 with some of the SGS4's stuff should give us something to talk about.
Hi all,
I'm thinking to buy a new smartphone and im between nexus 5 and lg g2, i saw many issues about the g2 but i just wanted to ask if there are fixed with the last updates for this phone... i love camera and i saw that the camera was better at g2, can someone help me which one to choose?
Thanks.
Which kind of problems did you read about? Tell me so I can help you.
I'm loving this phone but if you're after the latest and greatest then waiting for the s5 will be better for you.

Weigh out the pros and cons. In the end, it really comes down to what you want. I suggest playing with both of them in a best buy store since they have the Nexus 5 in the Google section.

Now i got s4 but i dont like it so much dont know why it doesnt fit me, had nexus 4 before it, now im liking the lg g2, nexus 5 seems to have more issues than the g2.
Some issues that i saw in forum: bad voice call, bad gps, and found this one...: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472319
Those issues are not widespread from the post you provided. I don't have most of those issues. IMO, G2 is a step up from Nexus 5. Nexus 5 definitely can't compete with the battery of the G2, or the camera. Also, stock Android is overrated if you ask me. Not every single feature of the G2 is useful, but most of them are. The Nexus 5 hardly has anything special about it.

I'll let you gain insight into my experience with this device.
Bad voice calls are not an issue. My voice calls are really loud and clear and I use quite some time doing calls. Gps usually locks within a few seconds if I'm about the same position and even when I'm not, it takes no longer than 10 seconds to lock my position.
Regarding that post : well you read how the solution to all those problems was to get a replacement because it's simply not normal for the g2. I do have the stuttering issue with xda-developers app. I don't know why this occured, it wasn't there from the beginning.
That said, do NOT expect upgrades for the G2. If you choose to buy it, you acknowledge to stay on 4.4 (once we receive it) because LG are really bad with updating their phones. If you intend on flashing custom ROM then it shouldn't bother you. Stock is awesome though and has a lot of features.
My two cents

No, it isn't, yes, it is.
Thanks for the answers and suggestions, still dont know what to do will way a bit...
To me, the LG G2 was worth buying. First phone I chose to go back to stock Rom. After the KitKat update, I'll re-root for sure, but probably stay on stock Rom.
Gosh, I love this phone, it has so many features!

I have had this device for 2 days coming from an HTC one which died
The htc one is a beautiful device with build quality second to none however, my new G2 has excellent build quality too IMO despite many opinions to the contrary. I intended not to root my device (skygo requires an un-rooted device) but yesterday I went ahead and did so for one reason and one reason only - so that I could use GMD auto hide soft keys pro - an app which enables you to utilise the whole of the screen all of the time.
Now I have a beautiful 5.2 inch screen in a device that is the same size as my previous HTC one which only had 4.7 inches of screen estate. I am very, very happy with my new device in comparison to my previous one which, incidently, cleaned up in the best mobile device awards.
Its down to you lol. I was in the same boat as you but went for the G2. Better battery and bigger screen. Hopefully the 4.4 update will bring a better camera. I think nexus 5 camera is better mainly because it focuses much much quicker. Got my G2 for the same price as a nexus 5
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
G2 is definitly worth of buying.
i had the N5 before my G2, and the G2 is far better. The battery life is about double that of the N5, i get on average 6 hrs screen time per day. Also the rear buttons are amazing!:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:

I had my G2 rooted too (even flashed Hellfire Rom). But first step was to restore stock Rom and finally I flashed stock software to unroot and reset my device to be prepared for the official OTA update. After the KitKat update, I'll root again to optimize this awesome phone with Xposed modules and Romtoolbox Pro.
But this is just for fun. Basically, the LG G2 is so full of features out of the box together with great hardware that rooting let alone flashing is nothing you have to do to make the G2 awesome. Because it's awesome by nature...

My brother has the 5 and i have the g2. the funny thing - we both love our phones but we do like each others a little more.
Nexus 5 - P/C's: google created and always up to date, no bloatware, feels a bit better in my hand, [IMO] takes better pictures but the UI leaves many things to be desired, lower battery life. If I had the nexus 5, I'd feel like i would no reason to use a custom ROM, just root and xposed
G2 - P/C's: dat screen size, buttons on the back [if you like that], good battery life, stock bloatware isnt that bad, and the UI as a whole isnt bad, you can get ALMOST the exact feel of the n5 with a kit kat rom [but all the rom related issues ]. I like my g2 but just wish we could get kit kat out officially so I can just root and xposed and i like the blinking button on the top rather than bottom
G2... I love this phone. I have yet to root this thing and I have no complaints. Call quality is great, wifi and 4G perform wonderfully, I noticed that the phone switches between the various modes (4g, 2g, etc) really quickly and I rarely have issues surfing the web. The camera is awesome, the speakerphone is adequate, no buttons on the sides of the phone is awesome, and I prefer the G2 location of the headphone jack at the bottom of the phone. Battery life is insane! I've gone two full days with moderate use (down to 2% before I plugged the phone in), and with heavy use I get at least 28 hours before I see the battery get into the 10-20% range. Finally I can hand my daughter my phone so she can keep herself busy for an hour or so and not worry about having enough juice to make it through the rest of the day.
All of the included apps have added useful features and it seems that they have pulled some of the best/favorite tweaks and made them part of their default app suite. For the first time in quite sometime, I have not felt the need to root or modify the phone, save for that Android soft key bar at the bottom of the screen, I hate that thing. I might root just to run an app that removes it.
I'm not a person that likes to root, i will use it as it is, with stock rom, it's enough to have good call quality, to feel productive with it and have no lag, feeling good in hand, and battery life of course , i'm a designer and i need good camera, and i think it has a great one. thanks all for the comments, i'm going with G2.
It seems strange that a screen that could, if properly integrated with small aesthetic changes in the software, extend dramatically the battery life of this device is being asked more and more (with every update) to energize and illuminate as many pixels with 100% white as possible. It is maddening to me. When we add into the mix the non-replaceable battery, the whole thing starts to reek of planned obsolescence.
I would like to give motorola the benefit of the doubt, and imagine that the software developers in charge of the texting, dialer, and contacts truly have our eyes and sensibilities at heart, but it is difficult.
Thank you to all developers, including those who created this very app, who have followed in the footsteps of blackle (or without any external inspiration) and afforded the end user a simple switch in a settings dialogue somewhere.
I am assuming that at some point another software update will happen for this otherwise amazing phone. What are the options for communicating the desire for such a change to those rolling out 4.4.next? Whose skirt do I tug on? I have seen a LOT of similar sentiment. Also, should the ability to root an at&t '58 ever come to light, are there any ROMs that are skinned in darkness? Oh wait, I know, UTSF.
I feel better just talking about it. Thanks.
What?
It's stock Android, not specifically the Moto X. Indeed if you root there are many ways to make the white black

Gravity Box for all black system and "team blacked out" (they invert many apps) for a lot else. Also, there are many apps, that have "dark" (black) themes. I use Textra (sms) and whatsapp plus (find a black costum theme). Also, for Firefox there are extensions, that invert webpages. Too bbad Firefox is crap
But hold your horses, the difference in battery life isn't that dramatic. People will ALWAYS pick the phone that is brighter and has more "vibrant" colors in the store. The latest Samsung ad even refers to the critic, the colors on their devices are over saturated. It's a feature, not a bug
Dark menus and apps like the dialer are generally harder to view outside, and aren't as pleasing to the eye. Had a GS4 (it has an AMOLED screen as well) and tried a custom ROM done exactly to accommodate the AMOLED with dark colors and clear black everywhere possible. Well, I didn't enjoyed that in the long run, although it looked sleek at first sight. As I said it's generally harder to view the screen outside, and the eyes tend to tire from the black background.
Simply not worth it for the additional hour or two at most of battery life.

Well you could have just said I want the choice to change all light themes to dark to save battery. Wow, did that all in one sentence LOL sorry had to be a smart ass. I do agree I prefer black especially at night even on a low setting it is blinding.
I like the black/blue look mainly because it looks more high tech than all the white nonsense of KitKat. That's why my X is still on 4.2.2.

Brevity is not my strong suit.
The search function brought me to a cyanogenmod version of the texting that, with a little defaults finegeling, brought me back the old black n blue, which I also like better.
I think that without the ability to change permissions, though, the contacts and dialer are out of reach.
If you like black and blue,I'm sure there are forums for that.

I have a Nexus 5 as well, so I do have a phone that is running the latest and greatest. I know what I am missing out on, and it's not much as far as I'm concerned. For me, my Moto X is perfect. It does everything I need it to, the way I need it to so there is absolutely no reason for me to update it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm not one of those guys who has to have the latest software on everything. My MacBook Pro is still on Snow Leopard, my iPad Mini Retina is on iOS 7, and again, my X is on 4.2.2. Heck, even my 2013 Nexus 7 is still on Jelly Bean. I find something that works, and I stick with it.

Not just the 'latest and greatest'. If updates to the Motorola features on the Moto X are not much as far as your concerned then that defeats the purpose of owning the Moto X. They haven't fixed anything that was broken, they've made them better. I guess you couldn't know what you are missing because you have made the puzzling decision to willingly stagnate your device ?

Hello LG G5 users , feel free to talk here about anything related to the LG G5 :good:
Thread Rules
1. Respect the others
2. This is an LG G5 thread , do not talk about any other LG phone here.
3. Use appropriate langage.
4. And of course , respect xda rules.
So what do you think about this LG phone ?
Hi guys , thread opened thanks to @KennyG123 , now that the G5 is out and available for sale feel free to share your experience in this discussion thread.
I will update it later with infos , reviews , battery tests..etc.
Enjoy
This is my first impression of the G5 and I'm sure once the stock and custom roms start rolling out I will have a much better experience with my phone. I picked up my new LG G5 a hour ago from my local Sprint retailer and I have already run into a few problems that kind of bother me about the phone. I switched from my Nexus 6 to this phone and I would have to say I do enjoy the feel of the phone and the fact of it being smaller and easier to hold. This is the only good thing I have really noticed about the phone so far though. The volume rocker on the left side of the phone seems very strange and would be much more ergonomic with it remaining on the back or on the right side to be easily accessible with the thumb. The G5 does not have an app drawer with the current software even though there were leaks saying that they were actually going to end up adding the app drawer for this phone. The software seems as if it went for a more Apple style design with a more vivid color scheme. I ended up looking through some of the apps and there are advertisements in the voicemail app which just seems wrong. I have already ran into a bug which should be expected with any new release of a phone of course and this bug happens when I double tap on a notification on the lock screen it locks the screen instead of opening the application which I really hope wasn't the intended purpose. So far the phone isn't as great as I expected it to be.
@CorruptProfile Thank you very much sir for this first well detailed feedback.
How about other things like the camera , performance ( if you tried any intensive game ) ? Is it buttery smooth or LG 5.0 UX suffer from lags ?

I only really play Clash of Clans as far as game intensive on my phone and it ran very smoothly for the little bit that I was on it. The camera is far superior to any phone I have had in the past and the quality is great. The option for the regular launcher with an app drawer does not exist on my device which is no problem since I do not like the launcher in general and the Google Now Launcher is far superior to LG's. The biggest problem I have started to see with the device now is the fact the battery is weak as can be. I'm not sure if there isn't enough data collected yet to give an accurate estimate on how long the battery will last. I took the first screenshot of the battery usage before I used any high usage applications and it already was showing that my phone would last an hour and 47 minutes when it was at 41%. I would add screenshots to this but, I don't have over 10 posts yet so that isn't possible so I sent them to @Soufiansky so he can post them instead.

I don't own a module and I don't really see the purpose of owning one to be completely honest. It's basically just buying add-ons if you prefer having them or not. I enjoy having the naked look of a sleek looking phone without having a bunch of stuff all over it. It really comes down to the person if they want the parts or not and personally I don't the parts won't make the phone any worse and if the modules really just fail then it won't have any overall effect on the performance of the phone itself.

No i was talking about the stock battery module , you haven't faced any issue ? Because some people were reporting bad screen colors reproduction next to the module , others said it started taking off....etc.
