I guess that we all forgot that the G2 was not buttery smooth when it launched either. It also had lag issues/etc. Understandable that people want to see a significant difference, but let's wait and see how the phone works a after an update or two. LG needs to to do better testing before releasing their phones to the general public. I changed my FPS to 60 and turned thermal migration on and my phone is just as fast as my HTC One M8, and performs better with certain games than the ONE M8 does surprisingly. Beautiful screen resolution, slim design, great camera, good battery life and runs smoothly now..I love my LG G3!
[G3 General] GTCC:
She has some bad PMT

How much do you think she was paid for that video?

Does she think she is being cool with all the foul language, I don't like bad language for anyone but especially from a women.
[G3 General] PrimaryComplex:
Just sell the phone and get the note 4 when it comes out.

At least now you've learned the lesson never to buy a flagship just because the last model was good.

Why do these threads keep getting revived every other week?
[G3 General] RichieRich84:
I love this phone. No need for roms so much with xposed mods and tweaks. I like my T-mobile contract free plan if you have half the balance paid on the phone I can trade it after 6 months to a year for a new phone with out having to pay it all off for a new phone. Basically the phone is only 300 bucks then you get a new one. So come spring next year the new standard should be out and i will have a new phone. Its all in how you set up your phone for battery life and performance is what you will get out of it. Its proven in every rom no two ppl have the same experience. So if you are having issues with your phone its usually something you are doing wrong.
[G3 General] Sys. Developer:
I agree with the first 5 points, but about the battery, it's not as good as the G2 but still long lasting (about 30-35 hours).

And about the phone's getting hot, didn't happen with me.

The rest of the points I haven't test. The good thing is I got it for free and I have no regrets, also I still have the G2 :p

I hope it's the same case with the G3, anyway I still love it too.
[G3 General] splcfiya:
What seems to be happening is that there seems to be inconsistency with the G3. Some people reporting problems that others arent having. You see some people getting 3 hours of SOT of "light usage" and some people getting 6 hours of SOT of "moderate usage." Some claim their batteries significantly worse than their G2/Note/GS5 while others say its about the same. Some report lag, others do not.

From my personal experience, i'm upgrading from a Nexus 4. The G3 feels quicker, and the screen is 10x better, and the camera is infinitely better, and so far i've been getting about 4.5 hours of SOT on 30 hours of usage (going to try and push that up to 5-6 hours with tweaks). I chose it over the g2 because even though the g2 was quicker, i liked the UI, design of the phone, and the camera.
[G3 General] MRCANNADY:
Most android phones, or other electronic devices/gadgets in general, has had the same issues, so this is nothing different. Some people report problems with their phones,while others have no issues. The LG G2 had problems out of the gate, but now after a few updates, it works great. I understand how people can be frustrated, but let's not act like the G3 is the first or the last phone that will have issues. Most people are reporting that the leaked update fixes a lot of the throttling/heat issues.

We all purchased the G3 knowing that the 805 would be released right around the corner, and there will always be a faster CPU/GPU combo released. I love the phone, I no longer have any lag to speak of, and the screens resolution does stand out to me. My only issue is the dim display when watching movies, but just boostng the brightness at 70-75% solves that minor problem. :)
[G3 General] barondebxl:
You're absolutely right. I have read complaints about the G3 lag here and there but I have a couple of friends who own the device and they say they have zero lag issues and battery life is great. It's weird.
[G3 General] pbedard:
I get about 8 hrs screen on no issues some gsmes arent designed for qhd
[G3 General] malichevich:
I'm with you about this. Nice said.:good:
[G3 General] insang-droid:
I don't know what G2 you are talking about, but G2 was a dog after the 4.4.2 update. Battery life took a dive to about 1/2 of what it use to be on ICS. compare apples to apples. with 4.4.2 G3's battery life outshines G2.

but that's only part of the whole picture.

Let's see some improvements:

1. touch response (lag) alone is huge

2. Speaker is amazing compared to everythign else other than M8

3. Camera (same hardware) but software is better IMO and laser focus i can definitely see the difference.

4. Front camera is night and day vs G2

5. Removable battery and SD card?!?! DING DING DING!!

6. VS980 only - rear buttons? much better design and feel

7. UI design.. minimal intrusion from android experience

I'm sure there are more. .but G3 is in no shape or form a downgrade. Not saying that it's perfect, and there are things that I wish they did differently, like 4.0 mAh battery for thicker phone would have been nice.
[G3 General] MRCANNADY:
That's my point exactly...some people praise how well the G2 works now after all the updates, and others still have issues. People will always have problems, and sometimes the problems are usually caused by what they have downloaded on their phone devices. The HTC One M8 was one of the most fluid phones that I have owed out of the box in the LONG time, however, it stuttering badly for me when it came to intense gaming. My G3 no longer has any of those gaming issues at all, and considering that the screen is at a much higher resolution, says a lot about the 801 processor being capable.

The G3 is not perfect, but for me, it's one beautiful, high resolution beats of a phone! :)
[G3 General] coorsleftfield:
I wish they had made the g3 with a 1080p display and awesome battery life. Quad HD does not provide enough benefit for the battery life drain it comes with. Note 4 will probably have the same issue.
[G3 General] Batfink33:
The Note 4 uses Samsung's new QHD display technology. Its more power efficient and creates less heat and uses less battery.The Galaxy S5 Prime QHD which uses this display is giving less thermal throttling and longer battery life.
[G3 General] 903tex:
No issues with mine at all! No lag, no overheating, still using the stock launcher, no issues whatsoever. The problem here is people with issues are posting and the ones like me that have a great time with the phone don't have anything to post! Just like every phone some get lucky some don't!

I had the g2 at launch to and had no issues with the phone as well....

I'm just waiting on the boot loader being unlocked by the devs(which they said it CAN be done) so when roms hit the threads I except this phone to be even better!
[G3 General] prfraczek:
Please. The problem here are people :) You think we've got nothing to do just write comments about lags etc. And there is 30% of lg users as you can see on this forum not very happy. And with stock launcher no lags hahaha. Lg by mistake put extra gpu for your phone and fitted 6gb ram. You must be lucky. Once I'm back next week and you've got extra phone for skype video session I can show you lags on your phone. Will not take more than 20 seconds. And yes i bought g3 because i quite enjoyed g2. But these are 2 different phones...
[G3 General] leomd333:
'' Hey guys my new software based G3 is 100,000,000 times better than my year old, bug fixed G2! *snort* "

I hope in that video she is on the latest software, if she is on the shipped rom, the video is pointless. The first build clearly had issues, like ANY other phone.
[G3 General] Raul_Fury:
I've come from the S3, Moto Razr and a couple of others.....this is the best hands down
[G3 General] randyspants:
Came from a g2, still have it. Miss the battery life a bit but the g3 screen dwarfs the g2, so much so the g2 feels tiny now. No regrets at all.
[G3 General] 903tex:
And I'm a heavy user if I had this lag as those who are complaining having then I would say it! I have none just because the g3 sucks for you doesn't mean it sucks for me! And that's the problem when people like me say I'm not having issues people on here act like we are lying??? Wtf LMAO anyway if it sucks so bad and the lag is soooooo bad then sell it and get something else! A lot of you act like your gonna die if you sell your phone!
[G3 General] icoman:
My g3 must be different than many people in this thread. My g3 never over heats, goes 2 days on a charge, has a very nice display that I can see enough to use in day light, gets fantastic call quality, has great sound quality, wonderful head phone quality though I do wish it defaulted to line out levels. I also have a fantastic camera on this thing. I don't notice lag after installing Swype keyboard and setting animations to .5,

gorilla glass 3 screen so no need for a screen protector, though I'm considering an anti glare one. I also just ordered a wireless display dongle and am using screen mirroring for watching YouTube on the tv. The phone is also very thin and fits great in my front pocket with minimal bulk.

I also do use the remote as a backup when my main universal is out of reach.

And download speeds in the city is almost 25mbps, which is far beyond what my nexus 4 could do.

IMO, this is by far the best phone on the market.
[G3 General] randyspants:
I usually go naked but after my g2 looks after a year and my resale value is hurt so bad I picked up a glass protector and they really are amazing. Can't notice it one bit.
[G3 General] prfraczek:
This is what I do. Just waiting for new iPhone. I need good phone for my work doing IT support remotely for my clients 30% from mobile. Since beginning of this year it's my 3rd phone. Last year i had 5 :). For some people spend £500 every 3 months is f....all- if i want to sell then I will. Don't realy care... Read my other posts about problems last week with this 'amazing mobile' then answer my question: is it worth me to keep it?
[G3 General] MRCANNADY:
People have to be aware of trolls who come to Android sites constantly complaining how bad their Android phone is, then telling those that don't have issues that they are lying, and then they throw in the IPhone pitch. If you're phone is that bad, then go and trade it for the IPhone. I and others here will never switch over to that crap. I love my G3..no lag, big beautiful screen, and expandable memory.
[G3 General] grifter9931:
I think people forget the first 3 months the g2 came out. Owners complained about everything... Now people are using it as a reference device.
[G3 General] prfraczek:
Hmm you are telling us 'no lag' so can you explain the below post, please?

Hahaha. How old r u?
[G3 General] 903tex:
When I heard waiting for new iphone. I stopped reading after that.....
[G3 General] prfraczek:
Do you think I like saying this? I love android for customization, rooting, software I can run. Just ui need little polishing but unfortunately google don't understand this or just won't understand. They've been saying bollocks that their system need better hardware or developers need to polish the software for last 7 years and then next version of android will be much smoothly and less laggy bla bla bla. But from customer point of view when I run teamviewer then jump to my notes just to read some info and when back to the remote machine- this one is already locked or disconnected and see low memory problem etc. When use navigation then jump to read new email then back to navi - software is sooi laggy and no GPS- need restart whole phone but not easy when driving car. Why skype is sooo sluggish? Why push emails sometimes get after 15 minutes? Why when I scrolling everywhere the text just jumping and cannit be smooth like ios? Just very small things but very annoying and I'm sure google can fix this... I hate that ios is locked by apple, hate fuc.... Itunes and files, videos incompatibility. But if android cannot do the job for me... Why i had over 7 android phones for past 2 years... Just looking for something what will be good for me. And I'm not trolling I'm saying true.
[G3 General] MRCANNADY:
You must be using an iPhone, because you missed the part where I was instructed on how to apply the fix, probably due to your small iPhone screen I guess. After applying the tip on how to remove the gpu throttling, I now I have NO lag when gaming. Anyway, we will all miss your posts once you buy your IPhone, since you won't need to post in an android forum anymore, right buddy?

Don't feed the trolls
[G3 General] grifter9931:
Just out of curiosity what servers are taking 15 minutes to send pushed emails to you?

Scrolling can be very annoying on some sites.

Gps is hit and miss, even with an IOS device telecom provider is a big part of that as well.

Also if your remote app is crap then its crap. Are you jumping from notes to the remote software? Sometimes if its a slow sever and there is load on it logging in to do anything will be slow and arduous.

I have used both platforms to do remote work. These devices are not really optimized for doing that type of work. Can you use them yo do it? Sure, but you should know better by now that it is not ideal.
[G3 General] MRCANNADY:
Sorry, but the guy is obviously a troll. If you look at all of his posts, he is constantly praising ios, while bashing/complaining about android. He even talks about how great his apple headphones work. These guys are hilarious!
[G3 General] prfraczek:
My girlfriend's headphones. Second- I've got sennheiser headphones:). BTW can't really talk with someone who uses 'troll' word due to my position and status. Probably you already noticed that this is public forum not just for kids playing games.

To answer questiones: I'm using TeamViewer app for remote access and OneNote for notes . There is no issues with Exchange 2010 which seat on one of my hyper-v machines. Just the G3 push client (activesync) random freeze. On this server I've got another 96 people and no complaints.

And yes I had every previous iPhone, iPad and probably every android phone (just top versions samsung, htc, lg). My girlfriend can confirm this- she's not happy every 2-3 months when I'm playing with a new device hahaha. But I'm IT and love these toys which also make money for me.
[G3 General] grifter9931:
So basically, you have never been happy with any device you have ever had?

I use a vnc viewer as well as another remote app. If your email is your own do you have any issues from any other mail sever?

Do you have any other devices receiving email from that same server and do they have the same time lag?

Also apple headphones are horrible. Iems from say westone or shure are decent. Iems from a custom shop can be ideal depending on a lot of other factors.

If you are having issues with the mail client on this phone then chances are it is the same for other devices. Hence why i asked about any other devices.
[G3 General] trent999:
I use Enhanced Email for ActiveSync into our corporate email and the only time I don't get instant delivery and reception of messages is when that stupid, Microsoft-designed eXchange Server has gotten off the rails again at headquarters.

By the way, Skype is also a Microsoft product now and they have just recently blocked usage of any but the most recent clients.
[G3 General] prfraczek:
I was almost happy with lumia 1550 but can't say this here due to the trolling comments hahaha. But as I said android- this is what allowing me to do the 'proper' job.

On teamviewer I've got over 200 hosts and i just cannot go and setup vnc host on all of them plus different sites so every time vpn as well. This will kill me :(

Email- once I'm back in my office I've got ipad and pc setup with the same exchange server and both are keep notifying me immediately after email arrive then after some delay g3. Same story with my 365 account.

Headphones- not worth to talk- someone quoted my post without proper reading...
[G3 General] grifter9931:
I also have an email server running 2010. So far no issues with the email client. Interesting bout the Lumina 1550. I thought it wasn't a device I would consider for my daily uses. But if it works for you then it is what it is..

I freely agree about the headphones issue. Headfi is a better place for that discussion. For my purposes I have not had any issues remoting into any server with the G3.
[G3 General] insang-droid:


There's no perfect phone unless you make it yourself. Give Apple credit for holding on to its beliefs.

Few more critical benefits of G3 vs G2. Screen. I can wear my polarized and still need the screen in landscape. You can't do that with G2.

Vibration is so much more noticible on G3. I can actually feel the notifications and phone calls when phone is in my Jean pocket.
[G3 General] LeoRex:
The video is clickbait. I watched it... Now, if someone has a bad review, fine... But she's just trolling. Never saw her video reviews before and after that one, I see no real need to see any others in the future
[G3 General] barondebxl:
There's no trolling at all, she just doesn't share your opinion and you call that trolling. Not everyone should share the same opinion.
[G3 General] joja1:
Missing LG G2

Well i am one of those who feels like i am using 3 year old device with android 2.3 missing my G2 so much no lag , no heat problem , here in G3 lag is everywhere , i am still amazed LG has still not yet fix it , G3 is there flag ship phone and it has sold nearly 10 million devices i dont think it will help LG in long run infact next time people will not buy LG device blindly , when i complain about so much lag and heat to there customer care they reply is that due to screen resolution its normal to have lag and heat just lower you brightness and when i ask them about any fix or update their reply is still they dont have any plans so folks if you want to have this phone then you have to live with it otherwise for me i might be selling it in couple of weeks
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
Hear you....

Have my 3rd G3 since a week now, and I really want to like it, but I can't, no matter how hard I try, the G2 was an awesome device, but sadly I destroyed it..

Let's see what the Note 4 brings to the table tomorrow....

However, I won't keep the G3 for sure
[G3 General] joja1:
lets see what NOTE 4 has to offer with same screen resolution
[G3 General] shadehh:
What? Have they really replied that they cant do much about it and rhat it is because of the screen or are you just making things up? Because it is the first time i hear of that

Edit: in terms of updates this phone has only been out since mid- late june feel free to correct me if im wrong but that is only 3-4 months. I do expect lg to make this phone more fluid the power is there. Im not sure about the gaming department but then again i dont game on phones. Either properly on my pc or not at all.
[G3 General] kingofthebraves:
Is the g3 really that bad? I have an s5 right now and the performance is pretty much average and definitely slower than my previous note 3. I'm thinking of swapping to the g3 with my friend but I have my apprehensions after reading this thread. Battery life on the s5 is about 5 - 6 hours SOT heavy use, how does the g3 hold up?
[G3 General] shadehh:
I have recently upgraded to version 10h and battery feels much better. I have had the phone for about 3 weeks. I have the feeling those minimal stutters will get evaluated sooner or later.

My battery results at 47% are from xda app, chrome browser, youtube and twitch.tv app with about 3 hours of screen on time usage on battery about 20 hours. Mainly on wifi and some phone calls and a good amount of whatsapp. Best result i have had so far, display percentage is hovering around 30percent auto. Im not one of those people who cranks the display brightness up as high as possible. I find it rather uncomfortable and i really just take what i need when it comes to brightness.
[G3 General] foxracer89:
I have both devices (i still didnt decide which one to keep) and found few things:

1. G3 has better ccamera, but sometimes its white balance gets off. There is no option to change it

2. Cant compare battery but it looks like its gonna be similar.

3. QHD is visible for me but oversharpenning is kinda tacky.

4. White balance of display in g3. Colors are yellowish. I will submit comparison later, but currently its main reason Im not sure wether I'll keep it or not.

5. I notice occasional stutters in animations but have to check more.
[G3 General] foxracer89:
Hi,

I made picture of both devices and as you can see G3 colors are just worse...

[IMG="G3 vs G2 screen"]http://static.pokazywarka.pl/i/3753184/636702/dsc-0007.jpg?1410013976[/IMG]
[G3 General] Richieboy67:
The thing is brand new. I'm sure all the bugs will be worked out.
[G3 General] foxracer89:
As much as I like LG's new approach to phones (starting with flagship G series) I think that their quality control is next thing to improve. I compared mine g2 with friend's and there was the same problem with screen. I don't think that my phone is the only one with correct color reproduction, so I guess that lack of constant quality in displays is the issue here.
[G3 General] HeadbangerBR:
I saw here in XDA that you can calibrate the screen. The "yellowish" is just more realistic low contrast. You can see it in you PC. Unless you have ****ty AOC or Samsung Display you can see the yellowish in your desktop.
[G3 General] bogdan1980:
On S2 wife phone screen was brighter then mine. Also her colors were better. Same rom, same settings, same purchase date, same lot.

So is not only Lg problem.

Now on note3 (i have two) they are identical on screen, one made in koreea, other vietnam, separated by an year between them

Note 3 rooted knox 1, my last Samsuck crap. I want freedom. Stay away from Samsuck!
[G3 General] fix-this!:
i have a g2 and its the best phone ive owned. smooth, fast, crisp and great battery. im on the fence about the g3. would prefer the lg g3 A or beat but the specs are pretty gimped compared to my g2. :(

---------- Post added at 06:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 AM ----------

yet another reason not to be early adopters of any phone.
[G3 General] Richieboy67:
If you are happy with what you have then I agree. I'm still using my nexus 4.. Going on 2 years!

Some people like to stay on the cutting edge.

I don't mind minor issues though in a new product. They are usually blown out of proportion here. Everyone here seems to expect a phone to be faster than a PC. We are taking about fractions of a second differences in speed.

A couple minor updates usually improve these things drastically.
[G3 General] foxracer89:
I tried calibrating the screen and... it didnt help. I used the suggested setup. It does help with some colors, but white are still a bit off. I'm gonna go with my g3 and g2 to store and compare, but I dont think that mine is vastly different

I have never seen update, which would real help with performance of devices. Yes they would help, but not drastically. Another thing is that my G2 is well... almost as fast as (in certain conditions) my 2 years old laptop, but here is comparison of two flagship phones from same manufacturer. One is from Oct/nov '13, and the other from june/july '14. Almost one year of difference and we all would expect better performance and it isn't so obvious. I see more stutter in my G3 than G2, but funny thing is that some apps are opened faster by the G3... See the HTC One M8. It's improvement from its predecessor can be seen from the moment you unlock the phone. In fact the m8 is the only one current flagship which can be compared with my g2 regards the speed.

I understand why the lg wanted to release their phone faster than before, but IMO it wasn't the best move.
[G3 General] br0ok1ynb0i:
G2 is a total beast. They made the G2 too good, minus the screen/lines issue when flashing aosp roms. IMO, G3 still has decent upgrades in other areas, but performance aspect you won't be see much gain.
[G3 General] NIKEstickER:
Don't what you're talking about bud, my G3 is snappy and 100% better than any G2 I've used
