Upgrading my phone. Cheap ATT phone to LG G2. Advice?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-G2-Latest...item27f252e421
Looking at upgrading my current phone. Anyone have the LG G2 linked above? Currently I use a AT&T Tribute/Fusion 3... http://www.att.com/esupport/article....B425444&cv=820 and my backup is a Nokia Lumia 635 windows phone... http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile/phone/lumia635/ Both are low end phones. I really like the Windows phone but the lack of google apps blows it for me. I already know this blows away my cheapy phones from last Christmas but is it worth the money to upgrade? |

one feature I absolutely need is the ability to put it into what I call "on call mode". In other words, when I'm on call my normal contacts will not have a ring or message tone active. That way I can only get the on call stuff and I return calls later to my personal contacts. Does the address book in this allow for something like that?

I've been reading that these units have a common issue with a part of the touch screen becoming non functional. Also that you shouldn't upgrade to the ATT version of Lollipop. Have you seen, or anyone for that matter, issues with these?

Just checked on MotoX and it is definitely more than I am willing to pay for a phone. $200 is pretty much my limit and I won't buy a used phone.

Issues I had where if you drop the damn thing 1 inch it breaks. I have never had any phone breaking problems with any phone I have had except my g2s, I got a tiny crack in one and it killed the whole digitizer, where every other phone just keeps working etc.
Hated em, always down, always broken, always fighting them, even after repair the digitizer went out again. Was way happier with the motorola Razr I came from, and the moto X i went too. |

Lovely phone otherwise for me. The volume and power buttons on the back took some getting used too. No SD card expansion Last edited by eDave; 05-05-2015 at 02:22 PM.. |
