Had my G3 for 7 days and can honestly say its the best phone I have owned (and I have had many) Is the best at everything it does, no it isn't. Are there phones out there that can do some things better, yes there are.

So why my post ... Bit fed up of reviews and post after post moaning about battery, brightness, camera etc and the best one ... its made by LG.

When all said and done you don't go out and buy a luxury sports car only to complain about the fuel consumption and the high cost of insurance. You bought it because you wanted it and your sure as hell going to enjoy and get the most out of it.

I have had the phone in hand for 7 days now and I am a heavy user and never had a problem with battery (easy get full day with an average 4.5 plus hours of screen time) no overheating problems, no screen dimming. Even sat in the Sun using the phone with my wife having to take her Samsung Note 3 into shade to use it.

Lets hear it from the people who are happy with their G3 and not just the haters and the nit-pickers.

Signed: A very happy LG G3 owner

Cool review. While its not perfect, he thinks its the best LG phone yet. Seeing as how I loved the N4, G2 and N5, if this is the best LG yet, I'll be all set. :victory:
[G3 General] Enddo:
How about we hear it from people who want to give an honest review of the device. Just because someone hates a feature or is a nit-picker, doesn't mean their opinion is any less valid than yours. That is, unless you only want to hear fantastic, glowing reviews to make you feel better for your purchase.

To me, I would rather hear honest review and not get my panties in a bunch just because someone doesn't like the brightness level. I personally know that I don't care if the brightness level can't compare with the HTC One M8. So why would someone complaining about the brightness level bother me.

This community needs to learn to be more open minded and to accept the positive with the negative. Don't act like you're insulted because someone doesn't like one specific feature with your phone

Got an upgrade to Galaxy Mega today, Grandfathered in on true unlimited att ISP. Had the tethering package to go with it at $15 per month, however when i upgraded they said the tethering is no longer available for this internet package. now i cant tether my equipment. As an Over the road truck driver that cuts most entertainment. Please help.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
If you are stock, go into the app drawer. There should be an app titled Mobile Hotspot. Open that and follow the directions. Of course, it will go against your data.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jzsidebott:
you could also try adding the isp.cingular as an APN i your settings and see if that bypasses the tether check. The new tethering APN is Broadband, but some phones can still use the isp.cingular apn.

[Moto X Q&A] marcviado:
I currently just got a Verizon version moto x and using it on my at&t network.I'm new to the Verizon moto x and just want to know if 4.4.2 is rootable and unlock boot loader on the Verizon version? If so will it cause me not to be able to get connection using at&t or does it not matter?
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Short answer. No. Sorry.

If it was on a version lower than 4.4.2 you could root it. But its on 4.4.2, so no can do.

However, go to general thread and see the China unlock thread. For $45 you can unlock the bootloader..IF your phone is on his list. Then you are golden!

That's the only hope you have. ?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] yazruel:
In my HTC TyTN, I often get a strange behaviour: when I press the center button or jog or simply enter on the keyboard, the volume (speaker) open and switches to OFF.

It will only happen once on every "session" that the device is turned on (or maybe it is once every x miunutes?)

Any one else had thiis problem? knows a solution to it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] y2whisper:
I once had a similar problem where the jog wheel was controlling the volume, a kind of cool feature that I wish i could have, but only to the degree where i could turn it off. I simply did a soft reset and it never happened again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Nicky:
I have exactly the same problem and it can be quite annoying sometimes. I have been trying to figure out if it is a particular set of circumstances that prompt it to happen but I haven't noticed a pattern yet.

I would be interested to know if anyone has figured why it is doing it and if there is a fix.

The Rom I have on my phone is whatever the standard T-Mobile Vario II Rom is (not sure where I have to look on the phone to find out the name of it)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] yazruel:
I have the original HTC ROM (never upgraded or changed ROM).

I suspect it has something to do with the Phone Alarm app. I still havn't validated it though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Nicky:
Yes, it could be because I also have Phonealarm installed on my phone. I will have a look on the Phonealarm forum and see if there is any mention of this problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lpsi2000:
That is funny, because I am reading this thread and thinking I was not having this issue until I installed PhoneAlarm.

I can confirm I never had the issue until I installed PhoneAlarm. It started happening almost immediately after I installed it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Nicky:
I have added a post on the Phonealarm forum mentioning this bug. Will just have to wait for a reply now to see if there is a fix.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fgro:
here is a PA user too and i also discovered this bug :lol:

I thought it was a ROM bug but now i come close to the idea its a PA bug. Looking forward to read about the bug resolution.

Could you please post the mentioned post on Lakerridge forum?

Thx :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Nicky:
I put a post on the Phonealarm forum and got a very quick reply from the developer saying it was probably to do with the one-click mute function (that I hadn't even realised was available :) )

If you go into the settings and then add-on's tab you will likely see that the one-click mute function is ticked, just untick it.

Since I have unticked it, it hasn't happened again so hopefully that is what it was.

Hello all :D

Living in the US we are very limited to what dual sims are available to us.

I am planning to buy the Samsung Note 3 Neo Duos since here in the US I am using the Note 3 for Tmobile and right now I have a Philippine sim and intend to use it on the 2g just for texting..I would like to know if anyone is using the NEO in the US 3G successfully or on H+
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blcistheking:

I have a 7502 Dual Sim Galaxy Note 3 and live in Washington DC area

Well it is a great phone, I live in Northern Va., just outside of Washington D.C., and have had mine for a month now. I still need to root it, but am waiting for confirmation on a viable way to do so.

It works great with my home Sim, Straight Talk and my work Sim, AT&T. I get consistent H+ Signal Strength and have tested it to get an average speeds of 7.8 Mbps download and 2.1 Mbps upload.

The SVoice has many capabilities, and is very handy to have. I guess I have to figure out which commands work and which ones will only confuse it and bring you to a Google search page, which always happens if you mis speak, or ask it anything it doesn't understand.

So far I cannot find anything wrong with this phone. I works great. It is very lightweight and I got a case for it. I put a screen protector on, even though I have heard mixed reports of it messing with the screen sensitivity, but turned on the feature, "gloved fingers", or something like that which allows you to use the touch screen while wearing gloves.

I have owned Dual sim phones for 8 years now, from the first Chinese no name Galaxy Clones, to the new BLU Studio 5.5, and the NEO N003. This is by far the best phone I have owned.

I give it 4 out of 5 Stars, (1 star for not having 4G LTE appear on the screen, it only reflects H+).

Should I care about these messages while flashing?
[Nexus 5 General] tehabe:
I like the new dialer. But the bugs or the missing features are still there. Maybe they will be addressed in the next major release but who knows.

For example it still doesn't format German mobile numbers which are starting with 015 correctly. They should be formatted like 01511 7654321 but the dialer still formats them 0151 17654321. Hangouts does it correct.

Also I store all my phone numbers with international country code. So I have stored +49 1511 7654321. But when I type in 01511 … the dialer doesn't find the correct contact.

Both are kinda annoying but no real deal breakers. I think other mobile platforms struggle with phone number formatting too.

[Nexus 5 General] pinoymutt:
Depends what you are coming from (stock ROM, custom, kernel, etc.) and your familiarity and comfort with using command level tools.

If you go the fastboot command line method, you have control over most variables and can do it quickly -- I just updated myself from a Stock (w/Xposed) and a custom kernel/recovery via fastboot with no loss of data. But if you are bit squeamish on this stuff, probably best to wait for one of the devs to create a flashable zip that may suit your needs.

Er...why would you even do that? We own Nexus devices, they're not locked down and don't need "scripts" to be rooted. You have full system read/write access.

Flash TWRP again from Bootloader and then flash the SuperSU zip. No batch script needed.
[Nexus 5 General] supa2001:
Or just not flash the stock recovery, then you can skip flashing TWRP. Re-install SuperSU via Play Store
[Nexus 5 General] LiquidSolstice:
Not at all. Even the Google factory images give me those errors.

I think it's just for the sake of having another signature file to check the integrity, but if you really cared about that, you could just compared MD5s of the zip file you downloaded with the hash value on the download site.

Don't worry about it, not important.
[Nexus 5 General] leche1982:
I've followed the fastboot command line method to flash the images, and somehow I ended up with a phone with no signal and 'Baseband version: Unknown'.
