LG G Vista 2 - User Reviews

  • hey guys how do flash this phone lg g vista 2

  • I hate this phone the battery life sucks its very slow

  • What would you recommend. Are CCleaner or Clean Master any good?

  • Learn how to use the phone and keep the ram clean with a auto memory cleaner app . if you do that this is as good as any other high end phone out there and your saving money. This is a really good phone for the price .

  • I have this same problem. What did you find out?

  • This phone is a piece of crap, especially if you use a Gmail account!! DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!

  • 9:57 PM This phone has had problems for the last 4 months. Four occasions of unable to make calls, emergency only 11/22/16. Wife's phone has no problem. Calls have been dropped at least once a month. Unable to type fluidly, must wait for typing to catch up. Very slow app response times, battery usage has dropped 40%. Does not recognize my external HDD card. Gets very hot when charging. Drops wifi connection without warning and takes repeated connect requests to re-obtain...sometimes never connects even tho wife's iPhone does. Every few days I get message saying wifi hotspot must accept terms of use, go to browser, fails. Internal compass not calibrated to skymap...unable to correct. Screen rotation often locks.

  • I love this phone. I purchased the LG G Vista 2 from Wal-Mart earlier this year. I love the picture quality and the default ringtone and the flashlight and the option to minimize or make the screen smaller while I'm texting or typing if I want to use just one hand to type since the phone is so big. I even love the stylus pen that comes with it and the fact that the power button and volume button is located on the back of the phone. No side buttons!! This phone has more storage than the LG G Vista and I can share photos and information with another device just by touching the phones together. Chargers aren't hard to find for the phone. Mostly everyone I know use the same charger I use. I have no problems with my speaker or Bluetooth headset. Love it Love it Love it

  • if you open your phone, pull and re-insert your sim card, that stopped duplicate msgs for me.

  • The lg vista 2 is a great phone other than as of late i have been not to happy with the way it has Ben actin like when I send text messages and only want to send one it doubles it and sends 2 of the sane one like for example I was textin a friend of mine and I thought it only sent the text 1 time no it sent it 2 x's so I go to delete the second one and it deletes both of them. The second thing that I'm not to happy bout with it is the same thing with the photos when I got delete on it deletes the second one as well and I don't take notice to it till I go through them and repose o I don't have the original of that photo So it deleted bot the original along the second one Other wise I absolutely love this phone

  • I recently switched from a Samsung Note 2 to this phone. One feature that is harder to use that my old phone is Call Reject. It is buried under Settings/Networks/Call. You can set numbers to reject there, but with my old phone all I had to do was press and hold on a number on my Call Log to get the options to save the number to contacts, to reject list, etc. This one only gives me delete options when I press/hold a number from my call log.

  • Did. Not like Horrible speakers I went to a concert recorded a song crackling people can't hear me when I talk they say my voice is crackling I took it back to AT&T they told me that all Vista 2 phones are the same the speaker is no good they gave me a new phone after I complained about it I have exactly the same problem the speaker in this phone is no good please try I tried recording from my car stereo and the sound is no good

  • Nice looking phone but my calls get dropped all the time, the battery runs out fast and takes to long to charge

  • Same problem with my 6 month old LG V10. Will not turn on and boot up. Get LG screen and then it goes dark.

  • For all the update questions here is the answer: 1. This phone was updated to Marshmallow(Android 6.0.1) in April, but you need to be a AT&T customer with an "Active AT&T sim" to get the update.

  • g Vista 2 is a nice phone but while I'm playing some heavy games like amazing Spider-Man 2 it lags a bit

  • I got the G Vista 2 from ATT last month to replace my G Pro which lasted 2 years. The G Vista 2 was $10 a month for 24 months. I usually buy phones that are the last years model because they are so cheap. It had poor battery life until I turned off Bluetooth and WiFi. Now it lasts all day with power to spare. My only complaint is the when it rings, sometimes the screen does not light up. So I have to press the "On" button on the back to see who is calling. I also wish it would ring as loud as the G Pro. Overall it is fine.

  • Yes! I got mine yesterday at AT&T and the date on the box was from 2 months ago. It already had Android 6 on it. And if not, it can be upgraded through software update. I'm used to spending seven or eight hundred dollars on a phone and this one was less than 300 and works better than the more expensive ones. I wish it had a bigger battery. But all in all it's the first phone I've had in almost 12 years where there is no Echo or problems with sound quality. And the speaker is nice and loud. Definitely would recommend. I don't know why some people are saying bad things about it.

  • First when I bought it I was really excited - so large screen, nice resolution. After a while I was pretty disappointed: there are many bugs in this phone, many times you cannot put it for recharging as it does not recognize it, you have to remove the battery to initiate the cold restart. The sound is extremely loud and can not be regulated. Definitely I will be changing it for a different phone.

  • No this phone is running lollipop

  • Have had it a week and I love this phone. Interface, performance, and lack of amount of bloatware makes this phone considerably better than the Samsung S4 it replaced. I am pleased and impressed!

  • Yes, I bought 3 LG G vista 2 for my family and they are all perfect. Camera is definitely better that 5s. Also the selfi (5 mpx) is great. It is super fast. and the screen is very big. I never can get back to the small ones. I do recommend to buy a used one from ebay for $120-160 cause the brand new from att is around $360 i think.

  • I Have A iPhone 5s, should I switch to Lg G Vista 2? Looking at the specs and comparing them, Lg seems the way to go...

  • I sometimes have to take the battery out to get it to charge again

  • I need help on my LG G Vista 2. It turned itself off and now it wont stop flashing the 0 percent battery sign at me no matter how much I charge it. Please help.

  • Who is your phone carrier? Because not avail on t-nmobile..so far. How did you upgrade?

  • I had this phone for 1.5 months. Twice if shut off and would not come back on for at least 30 minutes. I do not know why. HELP

  • Yes, I just upgraded mine. Works great!

  • Is this phone upgradeable to marshmallow?

  • I run data hard and multi internet downloads with lots of u-tube videos and after 4hrs I still have 78% battery. I don't know why people say the battery is not good. 3000mah is great for any phone.

  • Upgraded to marshmallow

  • Just did it no problems. Works great with the Vista2

  • AT&T and LG as of April 21st is updating this phone to Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

  • thats natural nexus 6 is a flagship with a very powerfull processor and gpu .... not to be compared with a midrange...

  • Hey guys. Ive had this phone about a month now. Its working fine. Ive ready alot of negative reviews about "not enough memory space being 16gb internal memory. I rooted my lg with kingroot app.ive downloaded dozens of apps and still have enough for more. Im using luvky patcher too move all games and apps too my 32 gb sdcard. Ive had no issues with gps. Battery last 2-3 days on standy by. 1 day on playing games all day lol.This is a nice phablet. Hope this review helped.Cheers.

  • Don't buy Thought the display weak in fact you press the display The display color dark The phone speed weak compare withe Nexus 6 I am playing full HD video in 60 f/s around 3 minute the phone veray hot specially above the finger scaner App installing slow Alone things. Good. Design and weith Shame lg

  • Had an lg tablet that done this as well. Just decided not to work anymore one day. Didn't even display the logo, just a black screen.

  • I've owned the LG G Vista 2 for about a month now and I cant really say anything negative about this phone! Fast! Responsive! Awesome sized screen! Able to have multiple apps running without slowing one bit! Only thing I need to get used to is volume and power on the back of the phone. Kickstand would be nice

  • Wow, I'm seeing a lot of bad reviews about it not hold a charge. thats unusual for LG devices. Not their best device I see.

  • My last phone was an moto x 2nd gen.was that what you had? I liked the phone but could not change the battery

  • Really? It may not be the best in the world, but it's a LOT better than my last phone. The fact that I can switch out a battery if it goes bad is a huge plus as well - last phone did not have a user-replaceable battery.

  • Horrible battery life

  • no dude its 4gb ram

  • You know nothing about lg...lg first dual core phone in the world...how about you phone?lg optimus ge 975...mother of all g series ....well build phone made by lg...looks never get old...performance still desame till now...

  • realy.. 2gb ram.... say hello so lagg and apps that keep on closing

  • no screen protection?

  • this phone is great has awsome spec's

  • You clearly dont understand a single f**k about cpu performance if u say this is better...

  • well u got it but for south korea in the mean time.

  • LG G Vista 2 is best and cpu is best, mtk is s-hit.

  • Lenovo k3 note based on mediateck mainboard.... Other hand lg based on snapdragon mainboard. After all thyngs da carema has a optical image stablizer which only hav the high price smartphone. Nd if any1 use lg smartphone than he donna nevva seen anybody. Bt da price is lil bit high

  • Except that lenovo k3 note has stronger cpu and is thinner :D

  • G4 and g flex 2 all black front panel are boring.if there is a white or red.probably will buy it..

  • commonly the problem on LG phones is the screen all of a sudden just freezes and cannot turn the phone on and stock on the LG logo screen. why is that?

  • It has just 0.2inch bigger screen otherwise all features are like lenovo k3 note

  • This one i dont like... since G4 every next LG phone looks like cheap copy of G4. Only V10 worth for now...

  • lg is good for televesion,ac, wasing masin.refregeretor bt not good incase of mobile.....

  • This phone would be awsome

  • its true what you say, but no one has a gun to your head forcing you to buy. Not as if this phone was the only phone on the market. You have dozens of models to choose from.

  • G flex 2 under 300 euro is now with Lollipops 5.1.1 just perfect!!! I just boight it for 249 swiss francs and is completely another phone compared to the first firmware realeases!

  • Not at all people want bigger screen size

  • G4 should have been 5inch but even then it's using a less than flagship SoC...

  • Mad to think they've gone through the entire year without making a true flagship. Be nice to a 5inch flagship too. 5.5 is just too big for some people.

  • ...still using 615

  • LG should stop making huge phones...5" is the max one can reasonably handle.

  • Not everyone can afford a flagship there is such thing as mid range and budget segments. Most stupid comment

  • Where is wista??? I see just a lolypop :-)

  • Such low specs.. Waste of time to read

  • Why is everyone so hyped over lame mid-range devices? We want FLAGSHIPS! #SayNOtoMids

  • lg g2 way better

  • is like the A8!!!!

  • I hope this phone will released worldwide.
