[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKnux:
Are you talking about the G3's screen being too dim? If so, having a 1440p QHD screen you would think they'd have to limit something with it to conserve battery a little better. As what [MENTION=4613660]Jammol[/MENTION] said, if the G3 is actually worth it, I'll probably keep it until way past it's lifespan. The most I'd probably do to it is slap AOSP on it like I did with my S4 depending on how the UI is.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maine_Coon:
yes.

doesn't make sense to me to have a phone with dim screen.

my i6000 6.5" 1080p screen was brilliant.

as of AOSP, we need an unlocked bootloader and not just root.

hopefully this will be resolved.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKnux:
With T-Mobile's Uncarrier 5/6, I doubt locked bootloader will stay for long. T-Mo is really trying to win more customers and I think if they allow unlocking of bootloaders, that would win a lot of people in my opinion. Hell look at Verizon, they may have the most advanced and fastest LTE, but I'd rather have a fully customizable phone than fast Internet, especially when I have Wi-Fi at home. But again, that might all change with Android 5.0

Think about the OnePlus One if you're ready for a 5.5" phone. Comes with CM from the factory, the most open and dev-friendly device atm. Only prob is availability and few reports of yellow tinted screen (sounds like the N4 a while back haha) and can't try before you buy. G3 is beautiful but hobbled by GPU thermals and too many pixels, prob locked bootloader, needs Windows to get it ready for custom roms.

Or if you need a G3 wait a month or two and it will have Snapdragon 805 to solve all the major issues.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKnux:
Yeah the OnePlus One looks like an amazing device but I kinda like UI options. Hell, even when I had my S4 before I put AOSP on it, there were so many themed versions of TouchWiz. I never really witnessed a LG UI before and I'm interested to find out what it's like. I would definitely get it, but the whole "invites" thing is a huge dilemma. I'm waiting for Xaiomi to hit the US. Cheap, but beefy phones. :P

the oneplus is already outdated..every new phone will have a 2k or 4k with a qhd display while the oneplus only have a 1080p and 810 is around the corner
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKnux:
What do you consider outdated though? So should I get the G3 when T-Mo get it then? I read reviews about it on AndroidAuthority and AndroidCentral and they both said that even though it has a 5.5" screen, it handles like 5". They said the camera is good, infrared laser is fast, etc etc.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
i was one of the winners from the race contests and i ended up giving my invite to somebody else because of the reasons below:

-only snapdragon 801

- the display is outdated..2k and/or 4k with qhd is the future

-no microsd slot

-no water resistant

-no removable battery

-no ir blaster

-too tall, with big bezels..taller than the g3

-oneplus devices tend to have a yellow tint on the screen

-CM takes too long to update their work

-by the time u get it there will be better phones already
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashTestDroid:
That doesn't make any sense. 2k/4k resolution is only needed on a much larger screen, while the 810 is slated for sometime in 2015. If you're willing to wait a year then this whole discussion is moot.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKnux:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papaketchup:
The only downside (if you dont like big phones) is the phone size itself. I find it hard to operate with one hand. Since its a phablet you'll probably use two hands most of the time.

I currently own an LG G3 Beta version and I can say that it is excellent. Battery life, screen, features are more than enough. I wish it was around the 5" spot but then again the beautiful QHD display makes up for it.

That was also my problem before. Be it M8 or G3 you wont regret picking either one of them. Yeah S5 isn't that good, my father is currently using it. Nothing special.

For me its Z2 vs G3 vs M8 :D
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashTestDroid:
Nobody said 1080p was useless. Every review I read was highly praising of (for example) the S4, Nexus 5 etc. On the other hand there aren't any glowing reviews by ANYBODY showing a dramatic difference in the LG G3's screen. Probably because it's not visible unless you're using a loupe, which entirely defeats the point.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKnux:
Like yeah the fingerprint and heart beat sensors are cool, but how often are you actually use them unless you work out or mass buy things using PayPal or are in a business. The M8 on the other hand, the waterproof would be useful when you least expect it. The screen is also pretty good, just doesn't get super bright compared to my N4.

"Android 4.4.3

Released in the first week of June, Android 4.4.3 has been fully integrated into CM 11 source. With it came over 7000+ changes! All nightlies build between June 6th and June 18th are based on 4.4.3 code.

Android 4.4.4

Google did a two-for-one this month, and released Android 4.4.4 to address some OpenSSL items this week. CM actually already included these OpenSSL patches right around the time we did the 4.4.3, so 4.4.4 brought little more than a simple version number change. All CM11 nightlies past June 19th are based on this 4.4.4 code, as will be next month’s CM 11 M8 release."

Because u know 6 days or less is totally a long time to update to the new android version...... Or maybe u can show me ur device running 4.4.4 or even 4.4.3?????
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweetnsour:
I think hello00 is talking about a major Android update. If I remember correctly, it took months for CM to update from JB to KK. Don't quote me on that, but it was definitely more than six days. When 5.0 comes out, who knows how long it'll take.

Dear Developers

I'm sure you already heard about the GPL around the forums. In case you did not, the GPL ("GNU General Public License") is the most common license that affects many projects, like the Linux Kernel (the Linux Kernel is licensed under the GPLv2). This affects us, XDA and its members, as we are often working with the Linux Kernel (every Android platform runs on top of the Linux Kernel).

You may ask yourself now "Well, that's nice, but how does this affect me and what does the GPL do?" The answer is pretty simple actually: The GPL guarantees users to examine, modify and share their and others code by enforcing open-sourceness. This means you are free to use any GPL'ed sourcecode for your project, but you must make your used code publically available again.

Now, as many advantages this has, it also means quite some work for us developers. All used sources must be completely public by the time the compiled binary (like a Kernel) goes online. Another requirement is, that the OP must include all information to compile the exact same binary as uploaded by the developer. This means you need to specify:

The used toolchain including its version (linking to your toolchain source is always a good idea)

The used defconfig

The link to your sourcecode (including the used branch, tags,...)

If used, also upload your scripts used for the compilation

If you upload a kernel, publish the source, but the source is not compilable, it means you are breaking the GPL as you did not release the used source. Breaking the GPL actually means breaking the law, which means the sanctions on XDA could possibly be the least of your problems...

Example:

@ROM devs, using a precompiled kernel

As you are not compiling the kernel yourself, you do not have to give the above information. However, you have to link to the source of your kernel binary (for example: link to the OP of the used kernel). If you use the stock kernel, you must state this. Linking to the stock sources is not a requirement, but it is not the worst idea.

Keep in mind; if the kernel used is not GPL compliant, your ROM is not GPL compliant either. This may cause your thread to be closed and/or further action on your account may be taken.

If you are not absolutly sure after reading the instructions stop and forget it. Download all the tools you need and do a dry run in your head.
