Once opened the camera is slow as hell to focus and take pictures. I turn off IA and that helps it take pictures faster. Making sure to touch the screen where I want it to focus helps sometimes. Last weekend, I was at an anniversary party at a restaurant at noon. I had the flash on auto and went off most of the time, and still only 1 in 3 pics were worth keeping. Most pictures were slightly out of focus or grainy even on posed shots.
ok this is why this is good, for the people saying do MS really matter, ok so in the description is says this is about 17% faster, ok so lets say your screen on time is about 5 hours just for a number, 5 hours is 300 minutes, so for example you use your phone 300 minutes a day, 300 times 0.17 because it is 17 percent is 51 so that means with this being 17% faster over a day that will save you a whole 51 minutes of your times, and also since it takes less to do this you can use your phone longer. Ok so lets say you are a power user and you use your phone 7 hours a day going on facecrap and what on, ok so 7 times 60 is 420, 420 minutes times again 0.17, so now that 71 minutes or 1 hour and 11 minutes, so 1 whole hour you saved, not only does that save you time but it will also save you battery life not waiting for it to open, so after 7 hours on jellybean it would be dead, but on kitkat it would have another whole hour and 11 minutes to go, that is a lot more time to do what ever it is you are doing, this is why this is importent not just for the ms of differnce.
duh....kitkat doesn't make you read your mail faster.... nor does it make you watch youtube movies faster.... so you can apply this 17% on a much smaller part of the 420 min... it might save you 10 minutes.. don't think it will be much more.
The best part about this update is how quickly knock on and the camera work. The videos don't do it justice. This phone is a lightning fast monster with Kitkat. However, another update is needed to fix some of the bugs that are from it.
What about battery life? Seems to me that only the most superfluous "features" have been tested. Is that all i'm getting from the KitKat update? give or take 20ms less response time? (let's be honest, no one can spot such small difference)
I just rooted my G2 yesterday to be able to trim the memory and improve the performance (this happening automatically in 4.3+) , will consider not buying any LG again in future since they're already lazy in updates! I mean Nexus 5 was built on top of this, and G2 mini released with KitKat, so why all the delay for the big brother?!
Well if you recall...this is also happening with the nexus line up.. that time only nexus 5 gotten the kitkat and the rest of us need to wait for quite sometime... i think most company's prioritize their new products rather than gives update to their older stuffs..
Ryan Santos I agree, but the point in that LG should be ashamed that Samsung start rolling 4.4 to S4 and even make clear announcement for the phones that will get the update, while this G2 remain in 4.2 (not even 4.3).
I don't own an LG smartphone but this video was very well put together. Presentation is very well put together as well. The song and transitions are great. Excellent, Excellent! May I ask what the song is?
Very nice LG but how about Support for latin america ??? i got the LG G2 D80510a and we still have 4.2 and everybody else in the world with LG G2 have 4.4.2 can you tell us why we have been left behind?
Not really. Yo soy de Chile y actualicé oficialmente a KitKat mi LG G2 (P805), sin problemas, mediante "LG PC Suite", que es de hecho el medio que indica el terminal para realizar actualizaciones importantes. Revisa la lista de compatibilidad y busca tu versión de LG G2 según tu país, a estas alturas lo más probable es que ya esté disponible KitKat para tu versión de G2.
Seba V. Pues aqui en republica dominicana no esta disponible, mi solución.. ahora tengo la versión 4.4.2 pero del G3 lo hice con CloudyG3 2.1 ahora puedo grabar a 4 k y muchas cosas mas, lo recomiendo o sea conviertes tu G2 en un G3 con su rom original.
espido La actualización se encuentra "oficialmente" disponible para tu país, al menos para los modelos LGD805, que es el imperante en esa región. Los usuarios de los modelos restantes, deberán recurrir a lo que mencionas...
Seba V. Acabo de comprar por Amazon un lg g2 d802 , al parecer viene con Jelly bean , pero creo que ya salio la actualizacion a Lolipop, pero no me gusta Lolipop , quisiera KitKat. Como haria en ese caso?
this was linked on a forum, and i just came to point out what i guess in the big picture many already have.. this is not much of a test. If you can't even sync the icon outline coming on with a button press this means nothing.
My favorite mobile so far (after the Samsung Galaxy Series, HTC and even... the iPhone). And it gets even better? What a treat, as it runs already great on Jelly Bean. Now I can patiently wait for the next LG flagship device :D. So bring it (KitKat) on, LG ;)
I have been using my LG G2 for past 1 month, i have been quite happy with the performance and it is quite fast and great battery life.. .D. Looking forward to the Kitkat update, But most importantly i wish there would be the Time Lapse video feature like in Nexus series. i feel G2 is better in few features compared to Nexus 5 , both being LG device. apart from Kitkat update , some thing new would be exciting ...
I got a Galaxy S from 2010...and i got KitKat for a few months already, faster then any other OS i used since android 2.1 version, 1G cpu and 512 ram now imagine this phone..wow.
Pleas LG add the softkey hide feature that his available on the g flex, I know KitKat comes with immersive mode but that only works with game apps, and their are other apps that wont have immersive mode. So please LG I beg you to add this feature, or I'll just be forced to switch to cyanogenmod and lose the knock on feature.
Nice, how about... KitKat for the other version from LG?... I got the AT&T (D800)... The phone still on 4.2.2... Any idea?... PS: I live in Nicaragua. ___________________________________________________________________ My brother own a Moto X... Im thinking really to move Motorola side cuz he already catch the KitKat and LG still outdated... That really bad the only thing i bought LG was the Quick Remote... The only one interesting APP.
Nice comparision. I'd like to buy G2 but I'm afraid that Kit Kat is the last update of this phone. LG update politics is so not right. Now I've got Optimus 4X HD of LG and I remember remember how fast it was abandoned (only one system update to 4.1.2). 4X HD was a flagship phone with Tegra 3, 4x1,5 GHz, 1Gb of RAM and 16 MB of internal memory. Now when G3 is out I'm almost sure that was the last update of G2. I'm really hope that I'm wrong ;-)
hey LG, I had 3 different G2's and every one of them has a creaking backcover. next time u bring out a high end smartphone, pls take a better look on the build quality...
Meh speed that minimally noticeable isn't worth it. I would update but the way apps open and the design if kitkat feels simple and I like the Easter egg on jellybean better as well
Better not take 6 more months to see this on my VS980 on Verizon. Tell us when you're going to update LG and maybe when you submit the updates to the carries so we know who's fault it is on why it takes so long.
We need improvements of camera in low light, it's very slow. Also we can't shoot moving objects, it's always blurry unlike other phones with same camera, g2 is almost perfect for me, it's just the camera, it's not so bad but it's not so great either.
la actualizacion a Android 4.4.2 para el modelo LG G2 D802 libre de 32GB da error en los SMS , no deja enviar ni recibir.. Que Caga LG. FIX The Problems With SMS NO work in Android 4.4.2 :-(
buen celular yo tengo lg g2 mini pero queria haverles una pegunta queria saber de que manera puedo hacer de que mi lg g2 mini me deje mover app a la sd pq el dispositivo dice que estan unidas pero no funciona por favor ayudenme o actualizen el hardware para poder mover las app pq el dispositivo dice q es de 8 gb y solo es de 3gb y es muy pocoespacio
Kenny Paredes no se pueden mover las aplicaciones a la tarjeta sd a menos de que seas root y nunca te van a dar la memoria completa, por ejemplo, un xperia o un lg de 16 gb no tendra los 16gb disponibles para el usuario solamente alrededor de 12 u 11 por que tiene aplicaciones preinstaladas como es la de los contactos, galeria, calculadora, etc
I want a better interface. A very smooth interface. Plus I want a more faster camera. The camera is very slow. Oh also the notification bar. Can you make it transparent on 3rd party apps??? I expect big and worth-it update. Don't dissappoint me LG.
Seriously this video is in slowmotion and they talking about MS (milliseconds) in most of the tasks the kitkat phone was no more than about 1 sec faster not a huge leap actually, easy trick to make it seems a lot faster than it is. 1ms= 0.0001 second, the biggest differens I saw was 699/324. 699-342=357. that means its gallery will launch 1/3 (one third of a SECOND faster than previously AT BEST) mostly it was ca 25-50ms faster, thats why they used slow-mo speed test because at normal speed you DON't see the difference because it so smal.
All I kept thinking was how stupid... It's really barely any difference, if you see how long it takes to simply tap the device which is usually quite quick, I doubt 20ms is going to be noticeable on most functions. But not complaining about it being faster...

Do you have the G2? My mother has recently bought it and it is stuck with JellyBean for now because of its carrier. I think the phone is fluid enough, but the shutter speed in the camera (and the camera itself) is terrible. I have found a couple mods but they only work with KitKat. Do you know how can i improve the shutter speed on JellyBean? Thanks :)
Not a clue... I was merely pointing out how pointless the video seemed, as they were taking all these speed upgrades so seriously, it was quite funny. I haven't got the G2 (yet...) but when it comes to shutter speed, I haven't any idea. It might be worth looking around, but it looks like you've started doing that. Sorry, maybe it's worth having a look on some Android or LG forums...
I have an Enact (VS890) that recently received this update. It's terrible. My phone went from working perfectly fine with a long battery life to being sluggish, having errors, and draining the battery very quickly. Many G2 users report similar results. It almost seems like they release these updates to break phones on purpose so that you think you need a new one.
Can't wait!
Can't wait to see!!!! It's taking so much time to do the upgrade!!!
Ok so camera app opens faster but have they fixed the cameras low light lag?
They did
What is the background music title?
배경음악 제목이 뭔가요?
It's about time. Please send this update out soon!

Nice. Looking forward to it. Any news on the G Pad 8.3 update then?
Once art is turned on and the transition animation speed in the developer options is set from 1x to 0x the lg g2 will be futuristicly fast !!! :D
if any of you have noticed closer .. the contacts button on the jellybean version was touched slightly later than the kitkat ..
What is the background music title?
ok this is why this is good, for the people saying do MS really matter, ok so in the description is says this is about 17% faster, ok so lets say your screen on time is about 5 hours just for a number, 5 hours is 300 minutes, so for example you use your phone 300 minutes a day, 300 times 0.17 because it is 17 percent is 51 so that means with this being 17% faster over a day that will save you a whole 51 minutes of your times, and also since it takes less to do this you can use your phone longer.

This is sort of true only if you don't count your own idle time. Say... you switch off screen few seconds slow here and there.
duh....kitkat doesn't make you read your mail faster.... nor does it make you watch youtube movies faster....
so you can apply this 17% on a much smaller part of the 420 min... it might save you 10 minutes.. don't think it will be much more.
The time matters but battery...mehhh it drains faster by 5%
Takumi Fujiwara true battery does drain faster
Stefanos Stavropoulos ξέρεις αν θα έχει και knock code??
Can't wait to get a G2 next month... my current phone would measure in the thousands of milliseconds for each of these tasks.
Why didn`t you bring the multitasking features from lg flex to the lg g2??
do you have to update the G2 to KitKat? i'm already more than happy with the custom jellybean and i don't want to loose it.
The best part about this update is how quickly knock on and the camera work. The videos don't do it justice. This phone is a lightning fast monster with Kitkat. However, another update is needed to fix some of the bugs that are from it.
Do you know when will it be available in Spain?
When will it be available in the US?
Thanks for the update!
The difference will be even higher when ART will be the default runtime in android, 4.5 maybe
What about battery life? Seems to me that only the most superfluous "features" have been tested. Is that all i'm getting from the KitKat update? give or take 20ms less response time? (let's be honest, no one can spot such small difference)
رائع .. لا أستطيع الإنتظار !
Any idea when will it come to Brazil? Model D805
Is Knock code feature available in kitkat update ??
When the internacional version (d803) will be getting the upload to 4.4.2 kitKat??thanks
I just rooted my G2 yesterday to be able to trim the memory and improve the performance (this happening automatically in 4.3+) , will consider not buying any LG again in future since they're already lazy in updates!

I don't own an LG smartphone but this video was very well put together. Presentation is very well put together as well. The song and transitions are great.
Excellent, Excellent!
May I ask what the song is?
Could you compare camera application?
If LG already know that then, what the hell are they waiting for to finally update the G2 to kitkat?
14/3 and its not yet released, is it 15 then?
Very nice LG but how about Support for latin america ??? i got the LG G2 D80510a and we still have 4.2 and everybody else in the world with LG G2 have 4.4.2 can you tell us why we have been left behind?
ME TOO I AM IN JAMAICA WITH MY D802 AND I STILL HAVE 4.2. i just got the phone last week

When is LG going to rollout update India
Slow focus and drop fps change in KK?

por eso es que me salen los iconos de red, bateria, de color blancos..y en antes me salian en azul. no sabia xq era. es cierto o no?

Несправедливое сравнение! Если обратили внимание, правая сторона нажимает экран немного раньше левой. Поэтому и такая разница.
nice test.
Thank you.
We are waiting...
I got a Galaxy S from 2010...and i got KitKat for a few months already, faster then any other OS i used since android 2.1 version, 1G cpu and 512 ram now imagine this phone..wow.
What about the battery life?
I have LG G2 Android 4.4.2 double tap only works on the lock, but unlock can only with button what the problem?
waiting for it in the USA
But the benchmark scores are very less.... antutu wad giving a result of 35000+ but now it staggers around 26000.... how come?
LOL! If you need a high speed camera to detect the difference then it isn't much of a difference now is it? Well done LG.
Text link not working after kit kat update..
The song?
Pleas LG add the softkey hide feature that his available on the g flex, I know KitKat comes with immersive mode but that only works with game apps, and their are other apps that wont have immersive mode. So please LG I beg you to add this feature, or I'll just be forced to switch to cyanogenmod and lose the knock on feature.
Google Play Music doesn't work on KitKat!!!
😀😀
where is optimus g pro update??'
Ok LG. Now where is the KitKat update for Optimus G?
I hope autofocus "breathing" effect when record a video will solved in Kit Kat...
Nice, how about... KitKat for the other version from LG?... I got the AT&T (D800)... The phone still on 4.2.2... Any idea?...
PS: I live in Nicaragua.

It doesnt worked. I forced it... Thanks anyway
Talking about audio, you can hear this hissing sound when playing music
knock code for G2?
Nice comparision. I'd like to buy G2 but I'm afraid that Kit Kat is the last update of this phone. LG update politics is so not right.

Watching this on android pie
It isn't coming to my phone and I have an international version of the LG G2
got it yesterday !!!!!!!!
give taiwan LG G2 D802 update to KitKat please.
rip lg phones, my first video since I'm in RUclips
Very fast... Very nice ... Oh wait a minute , why does the interface look the same !!??
There is a big battery drain in my lg g2 with kitkat update
kit kat 4.4.2 is flawless on the nexus 4
hey LG, I had 3 different G2's and every one of them has a creaking backcover.
next time u bring out a high end smartphone, pls take a better look on the build quality...
im sure they will look at your comment and think, "WOW! why haven't we thought about that til now?"
I share your opinion. They know my power.
Haha okay dude ;)
Спасибо LG. Разница в секунде меня не убедила купить G2 или что-то подобное на KitKat
would be sweeter having 6.0
Kitkat is draining my battery and has problems with LTE :(
Me too i have the same problem :(
une bombe ce tel !
Meh speed that minimally noticeable isn't worth it. I would update but the way apps open and the design if kitkat feels simple and I like the Easter egg on jellybean better as well
It will never come out. In sweden waiting 5 months now
Impressive, the animations are also bettter on KK
Lg we need some tweaks on notificatin bar.... we want to look out notification bar like s5.... pleace stop giving the same ui
Better not take 6 more months to see this on my VS980 on Verizon. Tell us when you're going to update LG and maybe when you submit the updates to the carries so we know who's fault it is on why it takes so long.
LG could fix the KnockOn unresponsiveness. Feature doesn't work reliably - sometimes needs many taps to wake from sleep.
melhor smart q eu já tive.. e olhe q já passei por s6, e moto Maxx,. só pecava no armazenamento.
dear LG, your gingerbread phone took better pictures than the kitkats. 😥😥😥😥
i have to say i disagree with many of these timings, if you pause the video at 2:15 you will see th jb gallery opened faster
I cant wait
We need improvements of camera in low light, it's very slow. Also we can't shoot moving objects, it's always blurry unlike other phones with same camera, g2 is almost perfect for me, it's just the camera, it's not so bad but it's not so great either.
I think it will be faster that this if art will be turned on. :)
Like the music lol
la actualizacion a Android 4.4.2 para el modelo LG G2 D802 libre de 32GB da error en los SMS , no deja enviar ni recibir.. Que Caga LG. FIX The Problems With SMS NO work in Android 4.4.2 :-(
Mon G2 de base ne lag pas autant pour ouvrir des appli...
avec un post de geek pareil , tu devrais avoir un Nexus 5..
Euuuuuuuuh. Avec une batterie aussi faible ? Non merci eric. Mais je reconnai que c'est surement le seul defaut du nexus.
C'est vrai pour la batterie !, Happy avec le G2 ? la partie photo/video est ok ? et le bouton derrière ça donne quoi?
台灣啥時可以升級4.4 !!
buen celular
yo tengo lg g2 mini
pero queria haverles una pegunta
queria saber de que manera puedo hacer de que mi lg g2 mini me deje mover app a la sd
pq el dispositivo dice que estan unidas pero no funciona
por favor ayudenme o actualizen el hardware para poder mover las app
pq el dispositivo dice q es de 8 gb y solo es de 3gb y es muy pocoespacio
Kenny Paredes no se pueden mover las aplicaciones a la tarjeta sd a menos de que seas root y nunca te van a dar la memoria completa, por ejemplo, un xperia o un lg de 16 gb no tendra los 16gb disponibles para el usuario solamente alrededor de 12 u 11 por que tiene aplicaciones preinstaladas como es la de los contactos, galeria, calculadora, etc
Kenny Paredes Descargate lin2sd sale en google play store y pasas tus apps a la micro sd
A descargue link2sd y otras y.aún áis no se puede no me.deja
Tienes que ser usuario root...!!
D802!!! Just give it to the international modell
I want a better interface. A very smooth interface. Plus I want a more faster camera. The camera is very slow. Oh also the notification bar. Can you make it transparent on 3rd party apps??? I expect big and worth-it update. Don't dissappoint me LG.
we want lg g pro 2 features,too!
Seriously this video is in slowmotion and they talking about MS (milliseconds) in most of the tasks the kitkat phone was no more than about 1 sec faster not a huge leap actually, easy trick to make it seems a lot faster than it is. 1ms= 0.0001 second, the biggest differens I saw was 699/324. 699-342=357. that means its gallery will launch 1/3 (one third of a SECOND faster than previously AT BEST) mostly it was ca 25-50ms faster, thats why they used slow-mo speed test because at normal speed you DON't see the difference because it so smal.
What's the point of showing this if youre not gonna give us the update?
I can't see how this is a reliable test...
I have lg g2 and it is great
But i hate LG BCUZ it is making me wait for a very long time before the update comes 😢
Come on release it already
All I kept thinking was how stupid... It's really barely any difference, if you see how long it takes to simply tap the device which is usually quite quick, I doubt 20ms is going to be noticeable on most functions. But not complaining about it being faster...
Do you have the G2? My mother has recently bought it and it is stuck with JellyBean for now because of its carrier.

I have an Enact (VS890) that recently received this update. It's terrible. My phone went from working perfectly fine with a long battery life to being sluggish, having errors, and draining the battery very quickly. Many G2 users report similar results. It almost seems like they release these updates to break phones on purpose so that you think you need a new one.
Kitkat wins!
please don't bash me, but i can't stand it without saying it, G2 KitKat vs iPhone??
I wanna go back to jelly bean!!! Kikat has murdered my G2's battery life. I can barely get a day out of this phone if I'm lucky
