Sent G2 instead of Nexus 5, should I keep it? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I live in England and ordered a Nexus 5 from Amazon Warehouse (used-very good), but they sent me an LG D802.
It seems the G2 is like a slightly better and more expensive version of the Nexus 5 from what I can make out - so it would make sense to keep it but the reason I like the Nexus devices is vanilla Android and instant updates. I assume the Nexus 5 will be getting M, for example, and doubt the G2 will. It hasn't updated to Lollipop yet (or mine hasn't anyway).
I stuck my old 3G Giffgaff sim in and it wasn't recognised, so I tried a Tesco Mobile 4G sim and that is working so I am assuming I have the "International unlocked D802"?
Do you think I should keep it given my liking for Nexus devices (after all I was trying to buy one, lol), will it update to Lollipop?
It's a nice phone and I probably got a bargain given how much more it costs than the Nexus 5, I believe the battery life is much better and it has a better camera but apart from that is there any advantage over the Nexus 5?

Thanks, that pretty much confirms what I thought.
I still don't know what to do though, lol.
At least I got it from Amazon so I have a month to decide.
Does anyone in the UK have this phone (D802 16GB) and has it updated itself to Lollipop yet? Or do I need to unlock it and install a custom rom?

Thanks again, I am tempted to keep it now. The better camera and battery (and probably screen too) are appealing.

I will do if I don't send it back. Still haven't decided.

I would go with the Nexus simply for the active development, that alone extends its life. That's why even the Galaxy Nexus and Tegra based N7 still see development today. For me it's more important to have a device that would see a steady flow of updates far past its EOL.

This is the #1 reason I root my phones. I even jailbreaked my iPhone 3G back in the day for the same reason. What does "download hidden" mean? I'm assuming you're using TBU to back up the apk?
Awesome sauce!

No worries y'all. This app has been avail for a long time. I agree, I was very happy to find it to hold me over until custom Roms become available. I feel like I want to dust off Kitchen, but I'm not that talented and I'm sure others are already lightyears ahead of where I'd be starting.
Anyone know if FoxFi works. It doesn't even need root...haven't tried it yet, but it worked on the Nexus.

Tested FoxFi and it works, as well as the FoxFi plugin with the proxy enable.
FoxFi is working fine for me.
Used it all day today.
Ok, so this program does what exactly? It masks to packets with the device identity and responds with the selected device description posing as something else. It should have a "clone your own device" to make sure that att does not get any notice of the device chg......

What is the method everyone is using for rooting at the moment?
This does not belong in development.
Development is for kernels, ROMS an mods
Moving this to general
On the Thrill, you can goto connectivity test in hiden menu to disable Entitlement to allow free wifi tethering without root. Can the same be done on the Galaxy S III?
If you are rooted, remove TetheringManager.apk and use a Wifi hotspot to toggle on/off. I use Widgetsoid2.x in the android market.
A word of caution. I've used WiFi Tether For Root User on my Thrill before. The problem is that it allows tethering even with the Entitlement enabled. Because of this, I got a text from AT&T warning me that tethering requires tethering plan. A few days later, I got a letter in the mail stating that tethering requires a tethering plan.
I have since disable Entitlement and deleted the Entitlement APN. Been tethering since without AT&T sending warning text and letter.
Now, does anyone know a guarantee way to tether the S III without AT&T knowing you're tethering.
Does this tethering app eat up phone plan data?

They're doing a super job. In the little time I've had this, I've really noticed the little things such as their Xmas boot animation. I'm aware that some don't like it, but I think most will like the little touch of 'class'. Personally, I'd like to see them really surprise me with a Superbowl or BCS bowl animation but I recognize that will only appeal to a few.

So I guess that still means January for the non-US models. Not sure why Motorola has shifted attention to the US so much in recent weeks after the initial launch, but I suppose we'll have to see how this all pans out.

Heh I'm not worried, everything always comes in time ... Motorola obviously didn't launch the phone in the US and I'm just interested in the turnaround since then from the planned US launch in January. It's been a bit irritating to see all the 16GB stock suddenly appear in the US when it's been hard to get any in the UK, not to mention accessories ... anyway, off-topic.

...I haven't installed the update yet because once I do, it won't be retrievable. I'm looking for a way to extract it from the phone, but the phone has no root, ergo, I can't reach the /cache folder.

Finally, someone with common sense (and you beat me to it).
ROM's won't appear until it's in AOSP and Dev's re-compile.
for those devices it goes out to, we might see the OTA available if someone captures and upload it to their favorite BB
And then this could lend credence to VZ's hitting stores with 5.1 a week from Thursday (But I still think those would be a 5.0 variant with a open and update to 5.1 myself ...)

Windows 10 can be tricky. I've had issues in the past issuing any commands to DL mode with Windows 10. This dates back to using my G2. I got it to work this last time trying, but you might have to use another OS if you can't get it to work.

If you're referring to MM Update 20C, then not yet. And I am subscribed here for a reason. I have the same reason, and damned if I will settle with "Sorry no root for you". I have been exploring other options with someone else.
He's referring to the Software version in Settings > about > Software.

What is the last version that still can get root?
I'm on MM 20a.
I believe it's 10D that can still get root.

Will there be Oreo Rom for the Tab 2 in the future?

I know it may not be possible due to the restrictions of the hardware inside the Samsung Tab 2. Anyways could there ever be an Oreo Rom for the Tab 2 in the future? I happen to stumble across an online site that had the tab 2 was eligible for an oreo rom. Thanks for any advice or replies!

nougat is mostly unstable. i dont think its the fault of the amount of ram the s3 has 1 gb of ram and it has android 10 roms. I think its the kernel and processor thats causing trouble here
Mostly no
The devs have moved on (glad we atleast got nougat)
But you can make one yourself
There are tons of tutorials available
I'm working on postmarketos

1. This is the fault of PowerVR graphics chip.
2. Nougat is still quite stable in my opinion I use it for daily drive.

I got a cheap Chinese knockoff cable that lasted 2 months before its structure failed. I waited for another 5 months and decided that i would get another one. The second one charged the device but did not transfer and it also was showing signs of a future structure failure. However i got some superglue and mess around with it and to my surprise, it started to transfer data.

Yes, because I am super poor and when nougat is not supported by most apps I will be forced to throw it away. I do not like to do so.

any sign of life? if battery problem ( expands) you can use a sharp needle to pluck a small hole on battery and push gases out , wearing a facemask, and apply tape on the hole. Do so carefully as your tab will be as dangerous as Galaxy Note7, battery can blow up anytime. Then flash Rom android 7.1.2 in twrp

my charger charges properly but does not share files to computer so I can only root by kingroot and flash twrp in root apps and flash android 7 in sd card.
