LG G2: the 5 best tips

The smartphone "LG G2" is currently one of the best on the market. We'll give you tips and tricks you can do with this mobile device.

LG smartphone with guest mode

LG has installed a function in its smartphone that is missing on many smartphones: guest mode. Thanks to it, you can safely put your smartphone in the hands of friends or family members.

• Activate the guest mode by activating the "General" heading in the "Settings".
• There you will find the item "Guest mode". You will now be asked to set a special pattern as a password. This way the device can later differentiate between you and your guests.

Show notifications in color

Thanks to the built-in LED you will be informed about incoming messages and calls. So that you know exactly what you just got, you can assign a certain LED color to a certain action.

• Go to "Settings" and then to "Display". Once there, tap on "LED notification".
• You can now set which actions you want to be notified of and how.

Android touch keys on the G2

Many smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S5 have a physical home button. LG replaced this with haptic buttons. These can be moved and edited as you wish.

• Go to "Display" in the "Settings".
• Once there, go to "Front Touch Buttons".
• Now the order of the touch buttons can be changed and additional ones (quick memo; status line down) can be added.

Individualization of the smartphone

Another advantage of the G2 are the many personalization options. For example, you can replace the typical app icons with your own pictures.

• Tap and hold an app on the homescreen. You end up in an editing menu where you can exchange and change the icons.

LG: Knock On

LG is highly praised for its function of waking up the smartphone by touching the screen. You can activate this setting as follows, which saves you from having to switch on and off at the power button.

• Go to "Settings" and then to "General".
• Under "Movements" you will find the menu item "Screen on / off".
• One click there is enough to make your everyday life easier.
