[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
Your first paragraph goes against almost every single review that I've read. Do you own the phone? You may have gotten a bad one. Check the master review thread, the screen gets rave reviews by nearly all of the "big" review sites for things like being exceptionally bright, sharp, fantastic contrast, etc. I'll make the decision on my own, though. If I believed every review, I'd be missing out on great movies, restaurants, and things of the like.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
Which reviews are these? The ones I've read certainly haven't said that sadly.

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/06/lg-g3-review-a-great-phone-with-way-too-many-pixels/

http://www.cnet.com/uk/products/lg-g3/2/ - A bit less reliable I think, as they don't really give many actual numbers, but they didn't seem happy with the battery.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
Yes, we all know GSM arena had pretty much the only poor review.

Go look in the master review thread at these reviews.

The verge, androidcentral, engadget, mashable, android authority, phandroid, slashgear, you will see it frequently described as vibrant, brilliant, vivid, colorful, with great contrast. The battery has also shown to be as good as any other flagship while pushing twice the pixels. Just check out the master review thread, it seems you may have only read the gsmarena review.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
I tend to lean towards reviews with the most actual numbers, but yes, there does seem to be a fair bit of variation in the reviews annoyingly. I'm quite disappointed Anandtech don't seem to be doing a review for it, as they're usually the most reliable.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
From GSMarena - G3 vs M8

gsmarena uses the real numbers right? :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
What do you mean? That's a summary of specs, and has absolutely nothing to do with what I've been saying.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
They did a duel, the HTC M8 lost to the G3 in the areas you are concerned about. Its indepth, with lots of numbers, should make you happy to read. The conclusion, after lots of numbers!!!!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
Except that it didn't.

Display - http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g3_vs_htc_one_m8-review-1094p3.php - Worse contrast, worse brightness, worse sunlight visibility.

Battery life - http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g3_vs_htc_one_m8-review-1094p4.php - Worse in all aspects of screen on time.

Performance - http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g3_vs_htc_one_m8-review-1094p6.php - Closer cut in a lot of the tests, but still loses in a lot.

It's pretty much the same situation with their comparison between the G3 and S5. I should probably note that I'd choose the G3 over the M8 every single time, I really don't like a few aspects of the M8, enough to rule it out completely.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
I'm trying to illustrate something about gsmarena for you. They say the phone has worse contrast, worse brightness, worse visability in sunlight, yet they declare the G3 the winner in the screen dept. Sounds like a site I'd base my buying experience off of. Not.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
That's exactly why I like sites with numbers. Because I can read the numbers, ignore the site's conclusions and opinions, and make up my own mind.

I think we're actually agreeing on this point, but just explaining it from different angles :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
I'm pretty sure we are. The bottom line is going to be your own eyes, though. I'm just suggesting you don't give up on something (anything) without seeing it for yourself. Reviews are great to kill time, but the only review that matters is your own. :o
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epix4G:
That was my point the numbers have been from 700 to over 1000 on contrast and you can't just say the screen is bad when you don't know which numbers are right....they are all over the place

Ohhhhhh! So no real source? Thought not.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
so, you're the type who makes up his mind based on "numbers"?

you don't even care to look at a phone if the "numbers" don't look good to you?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
Could you point me to where I said that? Oh wait... I never said that, so please stop assuming stuff for no reason.

The thread was amazing if people had lost interest in the device. I have, slightly, for the reasons I mentioned. However, it still has a fair shot of being my next phone based on the positives.

Seriously, do you not understand that it's possible for someone to like 90% of a product, but be a bit put off the the remaining 10%?

I love the design, fitting that screen size into a body that size is amazing, and a huge plus point. There's just a few aspects of the phone I had hoped would be better, and I was a bit put off when they weren't.

Does that make sense?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
Yep, perfect sense..

not many people like 100% of ANY device or gizmo that they own..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaiderX303:
I have yet still to find a phone I am 100% happy with, theres always something thats a problem, build quality, camera, screen, software, performance, storage. Ive listed a few below that ive had a love/hate with.

HTC One - No Multitasking or Menu Key, Low res camera lacked detail, easily scuffed.

HTC One (M8) - Scuffs too easy, Low res camera

Xperia Z - Multiple replacements, all dead pixels. Poor battery. Fingerprint/Scratch magnet.

Xperia Z1 - Screen colours were uneven, poor camera performance, fingerprint magnet.

Xperia Z2 - 3 phones, dead pixels and uneven glass on all.

Galaxy S5 - Creaky build quality, laggy performance. Raised Camera.

Galaxy Note 3 - Creaky build, loose home button, too large.

Moto X - Favourite phone to date, lack of expandable storage.

iPhone 5S - Screen too small.

LG G3 - Screen sharpness set too high.

and these are just recent ones.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puremind:
I can say for a fact based on early Reviews that contrast won't go above 870:1 unless they implement a form of dynamic contrast as was the case on the G2.

800:1 contrast with Delta E Color accuracy below 3 is roughly the same as 1000:1 contrast with Delta E of 6.

So the Screen on the LG G3 is not worse than say the HTC One, it is just calibrated to have less contrast because they have reduced the amount of green and blue to produce a more neutral greyscale.

When it comes to these trade-offs, personally I tend to prefer a cool screen with a higher contrast (because it is compensated with outside warm color temperature) than a neutral screen that has lower contrast, as Long as the primary and secondary colors are well aligned and correctly saturated...

So I am one of those who have been put off by the early reviews unfortunately. I really love everything else, not least the compact form factor. I didn't mind the battery Performance as it is close enough to the current flagship phones.

I will still get a hold of the device to examine the display but the low brightness and contrast won't cut it for me I'am afraid. I am already annoyed by the fact that my HTC ONe M8 only has 1000:1 contrast and tend to use my S5 most of the time now because the screen is just superior.

LG should work on improving their OLED display calibration, then they can compete with Samsung more effectively and build OLED into the G4. I don't like the Flex, too big and the screen is too dim and inaccurate.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F4M0U569:
How long do you think the other companies release their phones? They all release their phones a month after the announcement. S5 was announced on Feb 24 and released on March 27 and made $10m just in two days. You think people have lost interest after a couple weeks of waiting? Don't think so.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20degrees:
Other companies give dates.

And this thread shows people lose interest.....
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epix4G:
Lg did give a date to the only one that they control......the carriers are the one not giving dates

Lg g3 has already been release. Blame it on the US carriers or some other ones for not giving any specific date. Oh really? 3-5 people losing interest? That's cute. Like that's gonna hurt LG
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20degrees:
Welp, my bad. Hopefully since you don't agree with it, the mods will close this thread.

Who cares how many people it is? If you aren't worried about it, this thread doesn't concern you, does it?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Just wait for clearity about the G3 and the US providers or order a OnePlus One, you`ll be the first to get it early 2015 ;)

BTW: i cancelled my order for the G3 for now as the 16GB version is the only one available right now, i`ll order again when the 32GB will be available :)

Or i will wait for the Note 4 that wil be anounced in September and sold globaly the 25th that month.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
The debatable increase in sharpness is relative to the person. I for one can clearly tell the difference between the m8 screen and the s5. The m8 is more sharp because it's an rbg stripe and not pentile.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reechings:
Using my new s5 right now and not regretting it at all. ?

Finding it hard to stop trolling the G3 forum though because I followed it for so long leading up to the announcement then got scared off by reports of screen issues and got tired of waiting to upgrade from my s3.

Tapped It!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IXChicharitoXI:
Congrats! The display, water resistance, and camera app really attracts me to the S5. Everything else is really meh like the fingerprint scanner, HRM, build quality, and all those air gestures. I'm sure I could at least get 5.5hr of screen time on an s5 too.

I like the G3 cause it's build is so gorgeous, camera looks decent, and for some reason I kind of like how this new LG UI looks compare to TouchWiz. Not that I hate TouchWiz or anything, I think lg did a great job with the redesign. It's just a shame the 2k display taxes the battery so much. The G3 would of definitely been the best phone out with a 1080p display, it would of had crazy battery life.

I fear that a Note 4 will be way too big for everyday use for me. Not really looking forward to waiting another 3 months.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lorimere:
I really don't understand the people upset at waiting.

When LG announced it, they said first of July from the beginning(outside of South Korea).

Granted I hate the US has to wait an extra two weeks. But thats the same for pretty much all phone releases due to carrier bloat and branding.

So NO I haven't lost interest because we just now have reached the date LG said it would be released. And guess what, it is being released.

A 2 week wait means nothing to me for a device that I'll be using for a year or so.

Hell I want a moto 360 too. But come tuesday I'm not going to say to hell with it and rush to buy a samsung watch because moto was too slow. LOL
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slash8915:
Have I lost interest? A little bit. Not so much by the wait, but by a lot of the reviews talking about how mediocre it is in some ways. For me, it's between the G3 and the Z2. I'm still sort of debating which one to get, since both have their pros and cons.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gqsanders:
I too have seen reviews that praises the G3 and reviews that says it's just average I guess I'll have to be the judge for myself but the mixed reviews doesn't sit too well with me right now ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
My biggest concern is the lag issue which I absolutely can't have on a phone which costs 500.

It looks brilliant but lag puts me completely off

One month, and still no LG G3?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leijonasisu:
You sound just like me. I cannot be set on 1 specific phone at all. It seems all of these companies have super huge weak point(s).

Xperia Z2 - unergonomic design, no removable battery, poor washed out photo quality for a 20.7MP camera and terrible interface, lack of IR

Galaxy S 5 - ugly physical build, useless brand that tries to hamper modding in any way that it can, re-release of its own flagship devices

One M8 - terribly low MP camera, non-removable battery, pointless metal build if used in a case, if not used in a case, easily scratched

G3 - overkill QHD screen, very average camera, still a plastic build, long international release date, overheating and battery life issues

No matter what I feel like I just cannot be satisfied with any of these flagship phones... and I'm furious. Why do they all have to have 1-2 huge weak points?

Z2 - Washed out overheating camera and uncomfortable unergonomic design

Galaxy S5 - Terrible physical build and jackass anti-modding brand

One M8 - Ridiculous anti-premium camera and small battery

G3 - Rushed QHD overheating screen and very average camera

I suppose what I want doesn't exist...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perry2547:
I'm not losing interest (yet), but if LG doesn't hop on the ball, Apple will release two new iPhones and I could get tempted to go back into the walled garden.

I'm loving my G2 and the battery is amazing, however, will this battery be that great in six months? IDK

How much is the G3 off contract?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Protagoras:
Yeah... I was one of these people. Then I moved on to the G3, expecting it for next Tuesday and couldn't be happier :) The OnePlus is only a distant memory now, I can't believe I was so hyped up with this phone.

Although I'd love to see some AOSP on the G3 as soon as possible...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
I here you but the only exception to this Htc one m8, it does have some crap but it doesn't lag anywhere as much as samsung and lg devices.

I've taken the plunge anyway hope I don't regret it!!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p51d007:
I'm leaning REAL hard to the LG G3, but can't figure out which one will TRULY work in the USA on the at&t LTE frequencies.

LTE isn't that much of a deal, my old Note1 (non at&t version) is 2 1/2 years old (got it 4 months before at&t butchered it),

and it only has H+, but, if I'm going to spend that much money, might as well get the top of the line one, when i figure out which

Korean version works in the states. By the time the at&t/Verizon boys get it launched, crippled & filled with bloatware, it will

be Christmas! LOL

I ended up with a Huawei Ascend Mate2 mostly because of the battery. 3-4 days between charges. Not the fastest on the market but

MUCH faster than my old Note1. Camera is better, screen clear & bright, sound is better...and that HUGE battery is really nice.

As usual, 3 days after I got the mate2, the invite for the OnePlus came. Ordered it, just for backup purposes. Should be here according

to USPS tracking on the 17th.

Hi there,

My phones touch screen broken last month, I ordered a new digitizer with frame from China, I replaced broken screen carefully, then I turned on my phone, but I saw white lines on the screen.

[IMG="white lines"]http://s17.postimg.org/8xvrie7nj/foto_raf_2.jpg[/IMG]

Then I saw this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52414185&postcount=122 I thought it may be a kernel- digitizer incompatiblity.. I rooted my phone first time in my life, then flashed that kernel in the post, then phone is completely bricked.. now I see a black empty screen, it says "fast_boot started" etc. I googled and I saw some posts however nothing solved my problem.

[IMG="fastboot"]http://s16.postimg.org/5rb6o8byt/foto_raf_1.jpg[/IMG]

I believe my phone is not bricked since it gives a response of black fastboot screen.. Can you please help me? I am a total Android noob, please don't just say "go to the download mode" tell me how to go to the download mode as well :) you can share links as long as they works..

I hope I can make my phone work again.

Finally, if I managed turn on my phone, can I really make the white lines disappear with software tweaks or my new touchscreen hardware is broken?

Thanks in advanced,

Eray

I don't personally flash non stock roms, but if you read on the post with those type of roms a lot of them talk about a "JDI kernel" for the white line issue... Once again I have not personally seen it so I am not sure if that is what you have pictured, but it is worth a shot... Go to the forum where you got the rom you are on and look for a JDI kernel..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WolfmanJack:
Reading your post it sounds like you had never installed a ROM until the screen issue arose with your new screen, if that's the case then redoing a ROM won't work for you as far as fixing the lines. Most people have found that issue to be permanent anyway and there is some debate on whether or not it is a flaw with the screen itself. Check my profile, I have a thread I did when I replaced my screen. It covered where I got it from and had a link for a great how two on youtube. If you get the date one it'll be a lot and not job. Your phone isn't bricked BTW. This forum has a wealth of knowledge on how to go about anyhing you wish to do. Whether it is to fix an issue or tweak to your hearts content. The search tool is your friend. Feel free to scroll my posts via my profile too. A while back I helped someone and covered a lot of different steps. If that doesn't get you any where let me know and I will see what I can dig up

[Q] Google Syncing Location History under "Accounts" - cause of battery drain?

First of all, I am NOT using Google Now or ANY social media apps running in the background. I also DISABLED Location Reporting and History under Google Settings. I only use app with normal background data like Gmail, navigation (when driving).

I noticed that recentlyI am experiencing some battery drain and after some investigation, I went to Settings --> General --> Accounts --> Google and clicked under my Google username. It now shows the following:

By default, all of them are checked. I swear when I got my Note 3

For the starred (*) syncing, those are shown if you have Greenify and enabled that option in the app setting.

For the alarm, I just restored my phone since no one responded. It's probably one of the Xposed module I installed, though I can't remember which one it is.

Never mind, I found it, was a bit sleepy and didn't saw it in the first place. From what I understand Greenify shows you the hidden sync but that doesn't mean it won't occur after we won't see them, they might as well keep syncing hidden in the background.
