[LG Optimus G (International)] 2015Ducatimulti:
I don't have a issue with my screen, its beautiful, no banding or anything:good:
[LG Optimus G (International)] Zachariasmith:
I was just using one of these guys last night and I didn't notice any of the banding issue at all and it was something that I did actively look for.
[LG Optimus G (International)] *Omnipresent*:
No banding , no yellow or blue tint on mine. Screen is top notch imo.
[LG Optimus G (International)] matt310:
Same here...viewing that photo on the phone, there is no banding. The screen is gorgeous.
[LG Optimus G (International)] HeadCracc:
All phones should have an IPS display this is the most beautiful screen on any phone perfect touch responsiveness... and it's perfectly visible in direct sunlight at 100% brightness
[LG Optimus G (International)] Alpione:
Agreed. Screen really is nice.

[LG Optimus G (International)] sn0w:
I've had my Sprint LGOG since Friday and the screen has remained amazing. I held it side-by-side with my friends iphone5 and even at 50% brightness the screen looked 100x better than his at 70%.
[LG Optimus G (International)] devorama:
I updated my earlier post with an updated impression. I went back to the AT&T store, but this time I could see no banding on the same image. I'm not sure what changed since then, because there was a definite issue with the phone I saw last time. This time I compared the same photograph between the iPhone 5 (nearly a reference display), my HTC Vivid, the Samsung Galaxy Note II, and the LG Optimus G.

The Samsung had terrible color reproduction, typical of AMOLED displays. Maximum brightness was low, some black crush issues, and a image was too warm and too much green tint. Saturation was okay using the Movie Screen mode. I was shocked AT&T left this in, as they've been stripping this function from their Samsung phones.

My HTC Vivid was also a bit too warm and over saturated. Brightness was better than the Samsung though.

The LG Optimus G was the closest to the accurate colors of the iPhone 5. I daresay it's the possibly the best display I've seen yet on an Android device. I guess I should have also compared to the HTC One X+, which is also known for a good display. But I was short on time.
[LG Optimus G (International)] scoobydooby:
Definitely the nicest screen I have seen on a phone.. the iphone screen is nice but this screen to me is just as nice. I use I generally at less than 50% brightness and its sharp as a tack even when viewing up close.

Two thumbs up she's a beaute
[LG Optimus G (International)] Misudoll:
F160's display do have bands from up to the end.especially in white background

but F180 has a great display,it looks pretty good

forget about it, just enjoy your phone.:D
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
Not reallly, The G's screen is really good, but cannot be compared to new iphone's one.

Also there some yellow tint on white color.
[LG Optimus G (International)] theMaDHakkeR:
Doesn't LG make the retina display? Lol. And from what I know, IPS is an LG tech. Also the i5 has no ips plus. I have both, my LG is nicer, to my eyes anyway. Maybe its because I feel Im looking at a matchbox with the iPhone screen.

Also just note I have no yellow at all. Maybe a touch blue. The i5 is much more yellow.

I may be wrong on lg making retina, it might be sharp. Regardless the G has a fantastic LCD. Its way up there.
[LG Optimus G (International)] nickespi:
I have the Sprint variant. And my screen is absolutely. Horrible. I went to the store to compare it to the demo both with full brightness and. Can confirm that my screen has faint lines and pixelation...nothing representative of an ips screen...im sort of disappointed :(

The colors are actually really washed out on the screen as well. Vs the demo had a slight tint but it looked more natural, also the lines didnt show up as much on the demo as well. To bad sprint repair centers are like pulling teeth, most their employees aren't the brightest people

[LG Optimus G (International)] cassix:
I just bought the Sprint version yesterday and mine has the dreaded yellow screen tint on the bottom. I noticed it right away. It almost looks like they are using warmer leds on the last quarter of the screen. Its very annoying and distracting when I'm on a page with a white background.

With that said, the screen is not washed out. Its probably the nicest looking screen out there. Everything is sharp and contrasty. There is some slight banding on greys but its not a big deal.

I also have other issues with the build quality. For example the camera rattles inside the phone when I place it down on a table. I'm wondering if Sprint got the $hit end of stick with quality control here.

Don't get me wrong, the phone is still really nice. Just frustrated with these small issues.

Because they are trying to make it a consumer phone as well as a developers phone. The average user doesn't need these settings, and could very easily mess up their phone by using them. With such an easy method to re enable them, why not do it?

[Nexus 4 General] My Gnexi:
Sure good to know, but what does it have to do with the bootloader? I thought that to unlock bootloader, you only need to "fastboot oem unlock"?

It's unlikely that I need to change an option in the menu in order to unlock... What if I somehow screw up and can't boot, and then lock to bootloader? Stuck with a brick?
[Nexus 4 General] The Unnamed Time Lord:
You need to get into developer settings and activate USB debugging so you can use adb to proceed to unlock the bootloader.

Also I find the way to unlock developer settings to be quite humorous! Sadly I can see many impatient users looking to access said settings the first time be be put off by this, hopefully they will see reason!
[Nexus 4 General] jameslfc5:
Awwwwsome
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
That, my friend ,is Awesome!
[Nexus 4 General] My Gnexi:
You don't need adb to unlock the bootloader! Unlocking is done in fastboot mode, so saying "This is essential to get an unlocked bootloader" is wrong.

You can get to the bootloader (fastboot mode) by pressing the buttons during boot.

Also, 2 responders above in the same page say that.

Also, it doesn't make sense to me that fastboot's operation will check an option that is selected while you are in the OS.

If someone that has the device can check it then great, until then I'll assume USB Debugging is NOT needed to unlock bootloader.

[Nexus 10 General] hung2900:
After reading the review of Nexus 10 and Nexus 4, I can see the new devices are so subpar, compared to competitors and also a same hardware smartphone like Optimus G

This is the story about N4, and it's supposed to be the same as N10

I wonder that will it be better with Android 4.1 instead of 4.2? There is no big different in term of software.
[Nexus 10 General] hoss_n2:
I don't think 4.1 vs 4.2 is the problem, nexus10 /4 uses pure android so this might be the actual performance of the devices, but OEM s like LG fake some hacks to make their devices get better results in benchmarks regarding the actual performance another thing some programs made by OEM s(launcher, mail, video players, gallery) . may feel faster. Because they are better coded and more optimized with suitable codecs than the original android Equivalent
[Nexus 10 General] BoneXDA:
Here's the thing: with Surface, iPad Mini and iPad 4 all getting out NOW, as well as W8 & other other phones, the time-frame to release Android 4.2 shrank considerably, and I think Google rushed it out to catch some rival sales. Bad optimization explains the edge well-tested products of same HW (Optimus G, new Chromebook) have, and I bet they will get the same beast performance out of these models, but like computer games nowadays it is out a bit too early. I'm still convinced major improvement coming upon release and then some, so let's just keep an eye on these products.
[Nexus 10 General] hoss_n2:
4.2 is still jellybean with 2 or three addons so hardware optimization for 4.1 should be same for 4.2 ,

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enviii:
So I read through The Verge, Engadget and AnandTech (performance & battery) reviews and the general consensus was that performance and battery life isn't anything stellar. In fact, even though it has the same internal hardware (aside from the LTE) as the Optimus G, it performs significantly worse than the Optimus G.

AnandTech stated that it's probably due to thermal throttling(?) while Engadget blamed it on software that isn't in its final build yet.

Is anyone else extremely disappointed by the performance of this device?

I'm coming from a One X (AT&T) which performs much better on just about every benchmark there is and it's sad to see the device like the N4 performing far worse when it should be better (dual core S4 vs quad core S4, more RAM, more mAH etc).

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wurzelsepp3:
I fear that Anandtech is right, I can't think of any other way why the CPU scores in Antutu are that low,

How can the web browsing battery life be worse than the One X, they have a similar screen but the One X has a smaller battery and an old processor (40nm).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
They have REVIEW UNITS.. which isn't final anything.

I just watched The Verge 's hands on review, and they said battery life was great, so I don't know what your talking about.

Either way, not final software = not a reliable source

Thats like testing a prototype car, and it sucks, when in reality, its not even final...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bingunginter:
If it wasn't close to the final why google even send those review unit.

2100 mah battery will do me perfect... I get through about a day and a half without a single charge on my samsung galaxy s3, and it has a bigger screen, LTE, and the same battery. It shouldn't concern you, besides, there are tons of apps out there (like juice defender) that handle your radios and usage. It's a cell phone, it was made to get you through a full day, charge it up when sleeping, then use it again.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venekor:
What did the Optimus G get? We should expect something similar I'm guessing if it is a software issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahil kaul:
I saw in a video where the guy opened Battery Settings and Android OS took about 20 something % of the Battery... I remember there was a Bug in 4.0.3 ICS when i got an update on my Nexus s... Could be a software problem! Lets see what lands up in the final build!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harry GT-S5830:
Well, performance could be to thermal throttling. Do remember these units are probably quite old development units. As in the video by the verge the guy from google said 'we are still changing things on this device, even now'

Qualcomm is good at delivering driver updates for their GPUs, as not many devices use the Adreno 320 yet.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfspider:
This.

Also, the fact that some of the screen shots showed that there was a software update ready means that there might have been fixes in store.

Take these reviews with a grain of salt, kids.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabomb224:
I'm still a bit perplexed as to what these reviews deem to be "poor" battery life. I mean, most of the reviews that I've read state that in tests utilizing an infinite loop of Google searches, or an infinitely looping video, they all got around 5.5 hours of Screen On time on cellular data only. On average, I'm lucky if I get 2.5-3 hours of Screen On time on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus, with 4G turned OFF and connected to Wifi all day. With 3G only, that number comes down to about 2 hours of Screen On time. With 4G LTE on, that drops even further to about 1.5 hours of Screen On time.

I understand that the Optimus G gets the same Screen On time with 4G LTE on, and that without LTE the Nexus 4 should do much better. But to call 5.5 hours of Screen On time "poor" seems ridiculous to me.

EDIT: I should clarify that both my experience on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and the reviews of the Nexus 4 that I referred to utilized 50% brightness.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyokeun1234:
Just wait until Google actually releases it. I personally don't trust hands on review because it's not a final release (both hardware and software) and they didn't have long time to use it

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarcosis:
If 5 hours of screen time out of a day of usage, that's good by me. I get less than three hours with my Note so that will be an improvement. Same for me when I had the One X. I was lucky to get 3.5 hours with the One X on wifi, let alone LTE. I've also experienced from my Note that software makes a world of difference.

The Exynos 5250 can supposedly decode 1080/60p which I have plenty on my DS211j from a Panasonic TM700 (in m2ts format).

"This SoC will have a memory interface providing 12.8 GB/sec of memory bandwidth, have support for USB3 and SATA3, decode full 1080p video at 60 fps along with simultaneously displaying WQXGA-resolution (2560x1600) on a mobile display as well as 1080p over HDMI."

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kookas:
To be honest, if the Tegra 3 can do 1080p60 and it is much, much slower, I don't see why this thing shouldn't be able to do videos of that resolution. Not that they exist, of course - or do they? Is that what BluRay's all about?

Though really, I'm not sure you can fit a feature-length film at 1600p into 32GB.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samzebian:
do a youtube search of 4k test.

Make sure you're PC can handle it tho!:laugh:
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kookas:
If my PC can't handle it, then it's just another situation, like browser scrolling, where desktop software is inferior to mobile software. Considering I run games at maximum settings on here. But do you think the Nexus 10 could do it?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samzebian:
I honestly couldn't say weather the Nexus 10 could handle 4k. Depending on how old your PC is and your GPU, you may or may not be able to view 4k videos smoothly.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1281511:
have you found an app who does support hardware decoding on our N10?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGrimace:
Depends on the format. For Mp4/h.264. Everything works. For h.264 in a mkv. MX Player will play HW video and SW audio.

For other format nobody seems up to date yet. The Exynos claims support for a lot of format decoding, but Google seems to have phoned in native support on the kernel. :mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] py3693:
It looks like the Note 2 has the same Google Voice issue as S3 with the call logs.

After I install GV and makes call, the call logs show the Google voice server number instead of the real number that I called. It is very inconvenience; I am disappointed that neither Google nor Samsung fix this issue. The issue has been here for a while on different new Samsung model.

Does anyone find an alternative solution to fix that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] py3693:
Found a temporary solution. Installed Voice+ at the Google store. It will call back to the phone every time I use google voice to make call to eliminate the the unknown/proxy number and make the out going call show at the log as incoming call. Not a perfect solution but at least it make the calls log usable.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
Yeah your best bet is just to replace the screen. It is not a difficult procedure. I know of a few guys on here who have done it. I have not done the Inc 2 but many others.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Card83:
From my past experience, if you tell Verizon you dropped the phone and it broke, they aren't going to replace it, even if it's under warranty. If it's insured (though Asurion or a similar company), you'll have to pay your deductible and they will send you a replacement phone. Generally, the replacement will be a refurbished version of the same model phone.

If you aren't comfortable disassembling your phone and you have insurance, you're probably best off paying the deductible and getting a new phone. If you have the tools and knowledge to replace the screen yourself, that'll be the cheapest and easiest way to fix it. As for unrooting the phone if you do decide to send it in, it's probably not a bad idea if you can reasonably do so.
