aspiring flex 2 owner - LG G Flex 2

Hey guys i about to puchase the g flex 2 so decided to ask here b4 i do. Knowing that this device is super cheap in my area, i mean really cheap. The alternative i can get with it price will be lg g3. Even s5, note 3 and G4 are more expensive than flex2. Do u guys recommend this device? Does it still overheat? Can i play ppsspp games for an hour on it without issues? Given that I'm presently using a galaxy Note 2 will i see much upgrades on display, camara and ui? Thanks. Waiting for a reply

Any form of reply will be appreciated. Thanks

Buy it !!!!! Update to Marshmallow and enjoy it ! Super fast, not overheat more then other LG for example LG3, great camera, great display .
I used one year LG G3 with Marshmallow, very good phone but I always liked the amoled screen so right now I use an LG G Flex 2 and very satisfied.

Thanks for the reply. Does it have a better display than the g3? Btw i also prefer oled displays. i also read that it has bad night pics, how bad is it?

Also I'm about to get the h950 32gb version which is a good thing cuz it has 3gb of ram. The prob is it's on android 5.0.1 and i read somewhere that in order to update it, I'm suppose to be on America soil uses an at&t sim. Is this true? Someone plz help me with answers. Thanks

I like more the oled over the IPS. The black is black !
For good picture you need a lot of light. No mater what phone you have, in low light situation you can't make perfect pictures.

The model that I'm getting is h950 on android 5.0.1 is there a way to upgrade this to 5.1.1 without being in America?

Nothing against the phone here, but just a warning - I think you probably won't ever get past 5.0.1 - 5.1.1 possibly unavailable unless in America and 6.0 for the H950 is and seems to be nonexistent.

5.1.1 is available for the variant he's getting, the H950. Depending what version your phone ships with, if you get it with 5.0.1 you upgrade to the 5.1.1PR KDZ, and if you get it with 5.1.1 already you just flash a rooted system.img and use it like that. Sadly 6.0 isn't available for us even though they're already on 7.1 but I've had no problems with it yet. Great phone, good battery, faster than the G3, 1080p screen, good camera. Everything you could want.

Exactly, and I meant that he may not get 5.1.1 if he's using the phone outside the US, however I hope he does at least receive that.
Honestly, I feel so bad to see such beautiful hardware being disadvantaged by these software issues, both the specs as well as the design are all so great...

Where is the love for this phone

The one phablet that can go toe to toe with the Note 3, high end specs, great camera, great building quality and there is one ROM for it and as yet not an easy root method. Bugger all threads.
Why is no one loving this phone?
Rooting can be done via towelroot. No custom recoveries or roms though..

Agreed, i owned a Note 3, sold it for this and have not looked back. I like it more rooted to, xposed and text droider dpi are great root apps for this phone

I'm wondering the same. My phone will be delivered shortly. But it seems that this will be my first Android phone without CyanogenMod. I can't believe this.I have already asked Ricardo with a pm but no reaction yet. May be somebody knows him better and could ask him to make a recovery and start a CM project for our sweet device? The hardware does not much differ from the G2 isn't it?
The problem is that LG decided to implement a stupidly secure boot loader, without an unlockable boot loader, not much development can happen. Being the flashing addict I am, I'm gonna sell mine and but an Xperia Z Ultra

I guess the G3 has the same issue? So someone will find a solution soon I hope. Please @shellnut2
Becuase it isn't sold in the US which is where a lot of people in this site are from. I really wanted this device but got the g3 instead.

I don't understand that business decision. Why would you not sell in one of the biggest cell phone markets?
Not releasing it in America is mostly the problem, without American developers getting their hands on it, no development can really happen. Not a smart move by LG is my opinion.
I have got my hands on one now.. and hopefully not very soon , but soon will be releasing something...
I sold my 16gb D838 a month ago as I just couldn't resist the temptation of the G3. Yesterday, I put my G3 on ebay and have ordered a 32gb D838 :laugh: For anybody lusting after the G3, don't do it. The screen is beautiful (if you can find 4k content ) but, other than that, the G Pro 2 is a far better device IMO. The G3 is a lagfest with frequent launcher redraws due to bad ram management, (at least it was on my 2g ram version) it appears to have been rushed out with no software optimisation. The 801 chip cannot handle the resolution.
Anyway, can't wait for my new baby to arrive, I consider it to be the best device I have ever had and that is many.
OK Here we go
check out the Android dev section I am uploading a first custom ROM for our D838 Model

That is so true. I couldn't resist to try the G3 too. But I really regret this choice. the D838 is so smooth and fast in everything. Even the camera is very fast and makes really nice pictures. The camera of the G3 is for my idea not any better and the phone itself is lagging everywhere. I have the 32GB version and the extra RAM doesn't make a difference. Like you said the CPU or the GPU isn't enough to make this device to what it had should been. I'm now on vacation but when I'm back home I will immediately sell the G3 and keep my Pro 2.

I've had my LG G Pro 2 32GB for a couple of months now, it's the best phone I've had since my Sony Xperia Z Ultra 16GB. But now it's time to move on to another device so put it up for sale on Ebay at a bargain price. It's a shame LG messed up the D83810F update, looking forward to G Pro 3 if LG bother with it. I will say that I won't be rushing out to by the G3.
I hope a custom recovery will release for this phone soon, after that many Rom will appear!
cannot agree more , I am on the same camp got G3 , sold and took the G pro 2 hahha

[Q] Heat problems fixed after 5.1.1 update?

I really like the look of the G Flex 2 and want to get 1, but the things I read were mainly overheating and underperformance issues with the SD810 soc. So now I read some positive things after the 5.1.1 update, so my question is does the H955 version run cool and well after this update or is it the 810 afterall?

Well im not worried about software problems, more hardware like the SD810. Been running Cyanogenmod for years on my phones(Htc Sensation & Samsung Galaxy S4) which usually fixes all software problems and makes it run faster

If you buy the euro version of lg g4 you can also unlock your bootloader officially (but no warranty)
Lg will probably do the same with lg gflex 2 in the future

Well im from Holland so it will be a euro version, and 1 year ago orso lawyers had a case about rooted phones with no warrenty. They were succesfull and since then you keep your warranty unless you destroyed the phone due to that( think Samsung even repairs bricked phones for free but that aside). So every other thing falls under warranty here even if the manufacturer claims otherwise

Good News for the G Flex 2!

Just announced at CES 2015 that the G Flex 2 is confirmed to be getting Android 6.0 AKA Marshmallow! Here is a link:
http://www.slashgear.com/android-marshmallow-update-coming-to-lg-g4-g3-not-g2-27399720/
So the phone is definitely not dead, surprised that the G3 might not get the update, for those who was debating between these two phones.
Well, low popularity doesn't mean dead. It's barely half a year old anyway. Great news indeed though.
Sent from my LG-D802
Well these are great news !
I just got the H959 TWN version. I think I love it more than my G4 H815 except the Camera.
Flex 2 is so much more snappier than G4 and surprising not as hot the G4. The Curve and the RED back cover is nice. I don't really miss the leather back. Now I have 2 devices to play with. Best of the Best LG .......Life's Good!
Ya, I made a post a few days ago about it getting gooey goodness. This phone is a beast. I love it.
Of course this phone is going to get it. It's still new and just came out this year if there was folks thinking the opposite then idk what to say. Now the big question is when do you think this device is planning on getting 6.0? That's the big question, so far I've been running Android M on my nexus 6 for some time and it is great very nice update and I'm guessing it will roll out and be official around October or somewhere around there so I'm curious to know how long from there will it take the flex 2bto get it.
Good news will be when I find this fcking phone on ebay <270$ :'(
Anyway its good, but lock bootloader deprives custom ROMs.
Indeed good news! Some of us that called the phone "dead " we meant the lack of custom roms and in general the lg,s decision of not unlocking bootloader.
Even with m it will be also dead from developers perspective.

Not feeling too comfortable and confident with the list. G flex? That never got Lollipop. And how easily it was forgotten, I wouldn't be surprised if G Flex 2 is also forgotten.
Kind if crazy how the list is so short. LG needs to unlock their bootloaders really. I don't see how it G4 flagship can keep the publics interest at all. Eeesh.

As I know on LG G4 international you can unlock bootloader, but not for the other versions.
So now I'm with G2 and it doesn't get android 6. I hope I will find G Flex 2 for the good price.

I can not get 6.0 if they will unlock bootloader in 5.1.1. There is lot of bad things on stock rom. Small difference between max and min display light, alarm volume and lot of more mistakes!
Hope this is true. Maybe by then we will have an unlocked bootloader figured out

The high minimum brightness is there for reason. Lower brightness = more grainy display.
I doubt LG will fix that in some update. You can use app called Darker - works great but picture gets more grainy..
Grainy display and no manual camera are my main issues with this phone.

The android 6.o is coming, will Flex2 have chance to update?

Hope our flex2 will get the updata~

Doubt it
Lg is unpredictable..... Lol
All i want is my unlocked blootloader, 6.0 will be cool, but all i can pray for is that Lg blesses us with a unlocked bootloader.
It's their fastest phone, but the chance of M is probably 20/80. Chance of an unlocked bootloader, 5/95. I'm curious about a stagefright 2.0 patch.

Do you have an LG source for your certainty that the Flex 2 will get M? LG has a pretty poor track record -- the first gen Flex never got Lollipop.

I hope you're wrong about 20/80 for Marshmallow. The phone is only ~6 months old and abandonment by LG would be a pretty miserable business decision. As far as unlocking bootloader, we'll more likely get that unofficially as a result of developer effort (highly unlikely without some LG tech leak) but overall the odds are probably even worse than 5%, especially for those of us with AT&T model.
If there will not be a 6.0 update for this device, i'm gonna buy a freaking iphone and never look back on android ... srsly, i'd be done with it and its fragmentation bs forever. Vendorlock me to apple crap.

Intuitively, logically, and reasonably we should expect Marshmallow and the rumors floating around on the android sites are a good sign, but personally I won't bank on it until LG puts out something official. The original Flex was release only 9 weeks earlier than the Flex 2 the prior year (Oct 27 2013 versus Jan 5 2015) and the first Flex never saw Lollipop.

The Flex and G2 had the same SoC, yet LG abandons it with no apology to users. I can't even find a reason for why they'd abandon a phone with those specs while it still had KitKat. Heck. I don't even understand why KitKat never came to the ATT LG Optimus G despite having the S4 Pro.

I see where you are coming from here, but I think that the flex 2 is much better and more popular than the original flex. I don't fully understand why the deep price cut, but it will dramatically increase sales no doubt.
Sidebar: Thanks again to help me confirm I had bad sensors. I sent the phone to LG for repair under warranty and they replaced the entire screen. When I got the phone back it was updated to 5.1.1, so now I don't have to worry about trying to coerce an OTA (sweet!). Battery life is stellar so far and no heat issues. Marshmallow would be a real treat (pun intended) on this phone, so I will stay hopeful that we'll get it (eventually)
Anyway if LG doesn't keep his word, I won't buy his device anymore

LG Flex 2 IS getting Marshmallow, U can bet your S'mores on it.

Guys. And gals? I am needing to snag an upgrade. I have note 4 ...The real reason is to get my bill down with the new pricing on easy pay. But on 16th they will go up 10 bucks. So ive been searching hard. 810 rumors are rampid. Id rather ask you users. Has the throttling stopped since the updates? Was this really the korean model? Or? How does the screen look compared to note 4? I ask because i love amoled. I also like the fact the flex is not seen much in the hand around my parts,of town. Lol. I see development is lacking. Guess no loki? Wonder why sprint would sell the flex 2 with locked bootloader? Oh well. 5.1.1 and up should fix all the lag. Please if you feel you might have some front facts on all this i hope u would give me all your opinions based on ownership. Thanks.

Sweet. So like myself youve had plenty of latest flagships. How crisp is the screen? Any pentile effect? Or is it as sharp as say note 3 or 4?
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app
First thing I noticed was how much better the screen looked imo then the note 3 not as good as g3 sharpness but close and colors are better since its amoled.

Does the phone still overheat?

Hi, I really love the Lg G Flex 2 and I'm looking to see whether to but it or not. I'm reading many reviews saying that is overheats and this is sadly discouraging me even though I really wish to buy it. Has the overheating issue been resolved since its been months if not a year since release ?

Hi
I have had my Flex 2 for just over a month now and I can truthfully say that I have not noticed any overheating. The phone gets slightly warm when charging but that is normal. I am running fully stock H95515D LP 5.1.1

Thank you for replying so fast, I'll be buying my phone from Expansys and the reviews on that site don't mention overheating. In so worried because I had the same problem last year with the Nvidia Shield and 3 days after I had bought it the recall project was underway
if you want a good performing cheap phone, go for it
if you want a perfect screen, leave this one alone, heavy banding and mura on the screens, had 5 of them and even lg gave up, they said it was normal ...
if you don't mind that or are blind as a bat ...

Thanks for your input, I'll probably be buying it because yes as you said I do want a well performing budget phone since I suppose it fits my budget, I'll keep and eye out for the heavy banding and mura on my screen , let's hope it doesn't have!
Mine gets hot. After like 15 minutes of Asphalt 8, the phone begins throtteling.
But that's not a problem for me^^ Great phone anyways!

Thank you for replying so fast, I'll be buying my phone from Expansys and the reviews on that site don't mention overheating. In so worried because I had the same problem last year with the Nvidia Shield and 3 days after I had bought it the recall project was underway

What LTE bands does your carrier use? as I said, its sim unlocked. If this model supports the same bands youd be good to go.
Hi fellow g flex 2 user. I just recently bought my g flex 2 dec last year and so far the phone has been great in everyday task/use. I did try to push the phone to its limits through gaming and noticed that nfs no limits (ironically), the game does lag a bit. I also noticed that the phone is warm to the touch after running this game for a while, not that it is going to scald you or anything though. I compared this with other phones running the same game on youtube and theirs are running smoothly. It might be due to throttling or the game lacking some updates. Other than that, the phone is solid overall. all games are running great, try godfire for example or real racing 3. also ppsspp games run great, playing metal gear solid peace walker. LTE download speeds are amazing and battery life is better compared to my old xperia z ultra. hope this helps btw I have the g flex 2 32gb lg-f510l (korea) with 2gb of ram i think. stock 5.1.1 not rooted.
Thank you all for your responses, I have gone ahead and bought the game. Gaming isn't really a factor for me when it comes to phones since I mostly like to play hearthstone, other than that I just use 4G to browse the web

So I received my phone and what can I say, I'm really happy with it. It does tend to overheat and the screen is a little grainy but those are tiny setbacks in my eyes. Thanks for all the positive feedback you guys have given me!
