No root yet which is why I am tempted to sell my GP2 despite it being fantastic!

LG's updating quite a bit these days e.g. G2 already got kitkat (although one should never upgrade to kitkat as it drains battery e.g. G2 and Moto G and X.)

Yeah because of the lack of root etc, I am tempted to revert to my note 2 or 3...

Having said all these, GP2 rocks!

Hi fellas. Am tempted to get this phone, but I ahve a few questions.

1. Anyone managed to root this phone? Any link to details how it's done?

2. Given LG's notorious track record when it comes to software update, should this be a concern? Or have they improved after Nexus 5 & G2 came out?

3. I tinker a bit too. Looking at XDA, dev support for this phone seems to be a bit low right now. I know it's still new, but was it like this when G2 came out?

Just wanna get a feel things before committing. Thanks.

i have the korean version. its almost similar except for the TV antenna.
For Korean models can root with ioroot but limited to old f/w only.
Love the knock code although the rear rocker buttons are quite intuitive to use as well.

Does it come with apt-x? i'm using it with Razer Adaro BT headset
so far so good too...

Battery drain not an issue and games don't run as hot as Z Ultra too

Tired of samsung and jumped over to LG ....used G Pro, G2 and now the Pro 2.
LG is under-rated.

Knock-knock is cool

Thanks for the great reply. But I thought there's root for it?

What's the model number for Asia? D838 right?

Welcome to the Pro 2 club! :)

Yes! This awesome LG phone is underrated and undermined by a lot of consumers!

We should promote this phone as it is really a solid and high performance phone and yet it is pretty cheap. !)

The OSB is good and after a while, you will not "pay attention" or "notice" or "be bothered" at all by the side OSB bar in game play as the 5.9" big screen is enough to offset the OSB bar's appearance at the side of screen. :)

I showed my colleagues my new Pro 2. First thing they told me is "where the f is the key? How to activate the display?"...

They have no idea how to activate the screen without any phyiscal key on both sides of the phone. lol....

Haha!

I'm not sure if you have used any OSB phone!:s8:

For me, this is my very first OSB phone!

You must get use to the OSB bar!:)

There are positive and negative of it as far as apps are concerned when those Apps developers failed or still lazy to update the apps codes to Auto-Hide the OSB bar in their Apps.:)

However, the OSB surely produces much more positive elements than a negative few!

The back buttons, in fact, after using it for 6 days, are non-issue once you get use to it, Frankly, I find it better than normal side bitton now!

Other than that! Awesome toy! No complaint at all after 6 days of usage trying out everything!.:s22:

Oh Ya! the battery charging speed on this phone is likes F1 racing car! Super fast charging!
