![]() Currently both the D800, D802 and the VS980 are supported and there are nightly builds being released. These problems and more were solved with the release of CyanogenMod version 10.2 for the LG G2. There are hiccups while scrolling in certain menus and way too many wake locks for a newly set up phone. While the LG G2 is by far my favorite phone on the market, the stock LG software is somewhat buggy. Update: LG G2 Screen Replacement Update 6 Comments LG G2 Cracked Screen LG G2 “Security Error” No matter how careful you may be with your phone, use a case that protects the front bezel and glass, because the gorilla glass just isn’t that strong. On Thursday, I took my G2 to the nearest shop and all I can do now is hope for the best. The cost to fix the whole screen and glass assembly would be $193 and I had no other option. This troubled me as it would cost much more even though the underlying LCD was working just fine. The customer service lady said that the digitizer was a part of the LCD and that the repair options were limited to the whole assembly. On Tuesday, I called the LG service center and they said to bring it to one of their affiliated phone shops near me and that they would take it from there. Accepting that it wasn’t going to work anymore, I plugged in my mouse using a USB OTG connection and synchronized all of my data. Around an hour later, another crack appeared by itself, this time going from the bottom left corner to the first crack. ![]() I now had the best brick in the market, I could see the beautiful screen under but I could not use it. This hairline crack was enough to stop the digitizer from working. Then the screen cracked right along the center. Thinking everything was fine, after roughly 15 seconds of it being in my hand, I could feel it bending ever so slightly. Ecstatic, I cleaned it off with a soft rag and continued to use it. My heart dropped as I was reluctant to pick it up, but when I did, it was fine. It was a Sunday morning when while reaching for my phone, it slipped off of the desk and landed with the face on the floor. The bliss of owning the best phone in the market quickly turns to sadness when it stops functioning. Within a day I was back on CM 10.2 though… 2 Comments LG G2 Screen Replacement Update LG G2 Cracked Screen The man at the phone shop said this was due to their responsibility of returning the phone to a fully new working condition. A peculiar thing LG did though was restore my phone to fully stock software, wiping my custom rom and recovery. If your screen is cracked and you aren’t sure about sending it in to LG for repair, I can vouch for great service and a great quality of parts despite what some people say. I am glad that the new screen is slightly better than my previous one and definitely not worse. The new screen has less of a yellow tint then before and the colors seem richer. ![]() Comparing the new display to another G2 I had previously compared my screen to showed a big difference from my previous screen. The sim tray seemed to be slightly dented from the repair but it was minor and the rest of the phone was in perfect condition. It seemed that the whole top half of the phone above the silver band was replaced as it was given to me with the plastic around the sides of the top half as if new. For a total of 203$ I now had a new screen and glass assembly. The cost was 193$ for the screen replacement and 10$ for the handling fees from the phone shop. The attention to detail is much better than that of the G2 as a device is only as good as its weakest component and the Moto X is just a pleasurable device to use.ġ Comment Moto X: Balanced Perfection (Micro Review/Comparison with G2) LG G2 Ballistic Tough Jacket Case Quick ReviewĮxactly one week after I had sent off my phone for repair, I received a phone call saying that my phone was ready for pickup. The BUILD is my favorite thing about the Moto X, from the way it feels to the way it looks, it is all done right. ![]() The camera so far seems to be good enough for my nature shots but maybe not as good as the G2. The speaker is great as it balances a loud volume with a full range of sound and is one of the better phone speakers I have heard. The G2 would also reach 5 hours of screen time but if used minimally could reach 2 days off of charge as well. The battery lasts for around 5 hours of solid screen time but not for over a day off of the charger as the standby isn’t as great as the G2. I wouldn’t mind better whites but it isn’t too bothersome. The screen is only 720p but because it has a full RGB matrix and isn’t pentile, it is a much better experience than previous 720p AMOLED devices as text is not crunchy on the edges. ![]()
