Thanks, if I don't get another G3 then I'll just stick with my Note 3 until the Note 4 comes out. I thought as time would go by (had it for 10 days) it would get better and it did but not as much as I was hoping. Yeah, I frooze all the TMO stuff and some LG stuff, plus I was hoping using greenify would help but it didn't do much. On my first use I was able to hit 4 hrs but after that 3 hrs of screen time was the max. I did a complete wipe back to factory a bunch of times also to see if that would help but to no avail.

I'm so going to miss the LG Health app, loved how it would track my steps w/o me having to turn it on like with Samsung's S-Health. Shame since I have a SGP G3 Gunmetal Ultra Hybrid case I can't use anymore but at least I will be able to return a few accessories I got from Amazon.

I think my next device is going to be the St Alpha until Note 4 comes out. I know I shouldn't always believe what a TMO CS rep say but when I called in to return my G3 and asked if they had the G3 Watch, they told me they only had the Samsung Gear, Fit and Neo but no Gear Live. She then did a search for upcoming Samsung phones and she mentioned the Alpha and Note 4. Take that with a grain of salt.

Then I saw this link.

Agreed.

I came from a Note 2. The G3 and N2 screens are the same size (5.5") but the G3 body is a tad smaller overall, so its a little easier to hold than the N2. I don't have to shimmy the G3 as much to reach notifications & quick settings.

The G3 is also lighter than the N2 (149g vs 183g). But the G3 is still a massive device ― it does not let you forget that it is in your pocket.

The G3 screen is one of the best I have ever seen, but I think the Galaxy S5 screen is one step better. The G3 display colors are more muted than the Galaxy S5, and the Galaxy S5 is brighter on default settings (I think the G3 auto brightness is a bit dark). I am sure custom kernels will change that, but for now I give the nod to the Galaxy S5 for overall screen quality.

Text on the G3 is definitely oversharpened, with too much contrast surrounding letters. That bugged me at first, but I guess I have become used to it and don't notice it as much.

I can't complain about the performance. I installed Nova, so launcher lag is nonexistent. Some of the remaining LG UI animations are a little jerky, especially the quick settings, but I don't mess with those enough for it to bother me. Overall the G3 is as fast as I expected for a brand new flagship. I have not experienced any overheating so far.

I am also a little disappointed in the camera. I had hoped OIS+ would have made all photos almost flawless, but I already have plenty of blurry ones (when the subject was moving). I have not yet tinkered with the camera settings, so maybe I should check that out before passing final judgment.

Call quality is fantastic, especially on WiFi. I was on Verizon for years and recently switched to T-Mobile. This is my first phone with WiFi calling capability, so it may be placebo...but calls are crystal clear.

Battery life is definitely above average, but not exceptional (my Note 2 lasted longer between charges). The G3 has never needed a boost during the day, so I really can't complain. Yet I can't help but wonder how much longer the G3 would go if it had 1080p display....:rolleyes:

Now that the G3 has root + Xposed + G3 TweakBox, a lot of my gripes have been resolved :good:

If you are looking to upgrade from a pre-G2 phone, then the G3 should be at the top of your list. But if you have a G2, Note 3 or Galaxy S5, then it is probably not worth switching.
[T-Mobile LG G3] rockstarpotion:
Thanks so much! Never woulda figured it out.
[T-Mobile LG G3] king101x:
I'm coming from the GS3 to G3 and it's an amazing phone.

It's a little warm while on GPS and screen time

It's a quad core so it much faster than my old GS3 (boring Sammy's touchwiz)

Battery is awesome... go thru the whole day and maybe half a day more
[T-Mobile LG G3] Dxtra:
I have great battery life
[T-Mobile LG G3] Erazo1986:
I jumped from the HTC one M8 to the G3 and I must say I don't look back. The M8 flys through everything you throw and is an overall great phone but I wanted something that reminded me of my note 3 that I passed on to my girl when I got the m8. I have noticed some lag in animations when switching in between apps but it's not enough to justify me complaining. The lag could very well be associated with Lg's skin and built in apps and I have faith that this kind of thing is easily corrected with software updates. Now I am seeing complaints about the camera, The camera is one of the best I've used on a smart phone, OIS and laser focus is a major plus. If you have any experience with DSLR's(I own a Cannon rebel T3i) and photography you already know that megapixels don't mean anything. The most important thing when taking photos is lighting as it willl make or break your pictures. Another important thing is software and image processing after the picture is taken. Cell phones are made to be quick,easy, and accessible at the drop of a hat to anyone and hence do not expect DSLR results from a cell phone. The phone overall is quality and I am enjoying it as much as I enjoyed the M8 and I took amazing photos with the m8. I guess my only complaint would be is that auto-focus is usually too dark but that's nothing to cry about.:D:D:D:D
[T-Mobile LG G3] vmgc1131:
So far I've had two days with the g3 and I can't decide whether or not to return it. One moment I'm completely in love with the screen and the overall astethetics of the phone and then im disliking the warm colors of the screen. Im also beginning to think that the over heating is not really due fr the screen, partly yes. But, I think it's LG's ui it self. While I watch Netflix the phone stays cool for a whole hour before a hint of warmth. Then when I use the phone normally like reading the forums, texting and listening to music it gets warm. I haven't played any games yet. IHave any of you noticed any of the things I mentioned?
[T-Mobile LG G3] JesseMT4G:
Try using Nova launcher if you suspect the LG UI causing the issues.

I personally haven't had it get to hot besides when it gets really hot outside. I work outside most of the day, so it will happen. In pocket long hours.

I haven't used it for games either, so can't comment on that one.
[T-Mobile LG G3] willham:
I'm right there with you. I do have moments where I think this is the best phone I've owned. Then there's the little lag here and there, battery's nothing to brag about (for me at least).
[T-Mobile LG G3] sublimaze:
Mine gets a little warm playing heavy games, but not uncomfortably hot. Installing Nova fixes launcher lag. Battery life is not what I had hoped, but it is not bad.
[T-Mobile LG G3] tykalx:
I'm almost two weeks in, only Meh moments have been the battery life, the warmth of the phone and the screen is no big deal.... I was so sure about getting the m8, but the camera and the screen size compare to the M8 were too good to pass up, people kept suggesting Htc for media but what's the point if you would be using headphones?

I'm glad to be back on Android after trying the iPhone for six months, hoping that the community grows strong.
[T-Mobile LG G3] vmgc1131:
I kinda like LG's launcher and the knock off feature. I know I can knock on the notification to turn off but that's quite a stretch at times. It does make me wonder how this phone will run once we get android L or CM
[T-Mobile LG G3] PlatinumNick:
since you do have experience with both phone...which one would you say is better with battery life?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Erazo1986:
From my usage i would say the G3 has better battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G3] theroo:
I am on my 2nd G3 and i have a lot of connection issues. My calls cut in and kut. My ohine doesnt ring when someone tries calling me. Ive been in the ohine with T-Mobile support 4 times and still no solution
[T-Mobile LG G3] willham:
Looks like I'm returning my g3 tomorrow. I cant even play a game for 2 min without getting warnings about my temp.
[T-Mobile LG G3] thunderx2000:
I got my G3 on the 12th and this phone flies compared to any other phone I've had, including the Nexus 5. I got the nexus because it had no penalties for rooting the phone. However, I realized quickly that I really had no need to root it, because there was no bloatware and I actually liked the Google Experience Launcher.

I will say this about the Nexus 5, though. Never had any trouble with the amount of heat it gave off. The performance was there, however the call connection issue and the bluetooth issue got to me. I mean I would never got more than 2 bars in the house and always had issues talking to people. The person talking would drop out for a few seconds or sound muffled. The same thing would happen to me when I talked to someone. The bluetooth issue consisted of me having to pause my music, when connected to my Big Jambox, to let it buffer (because the music would start skipping like crazy) then the music would play fine. No matter what volume I had it at, it would always happen. I figure out it was the Nexus 5, because I would connect it to my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Ed. and the music would play a playlist just fine without any issues. The battery constantly gave me 24 or more between charges. It was worth the money, though.

Now the G3 is in a class of it's own to me. The only time I have any heat issues is when I am charging the phone. Performance is top notch, no lag what so ever. I've had a lot of apps running in the background and still no lag whatsoever. Call quality is better than the Nexus 5 and bluetooth is also better on here. So far, the battery lasts between 20 and 26 hours. I will say this about the value of it. I've had a total of 6 Android smartphones and with each purchase the phones get better and better, hardware-wise and value-wise. So, to me the G3 is definitely worth the money.
[T-Mobile LG G3] JesseMT4G:
Any people having heat issues might be due to 100% brightness. Sometimes pops up to lower it. No biggie really. You want a hot phone, get a m8. Always runs warm to hot.
[T-Mobile LG G3] kamote0127:
I.im having heat ossues with my g3. I already turned on the thermal daemon and high temp property in the hidden menu. But im still getting hest issues. Any work around this? Please i need help. Cool it on the terminologies please. Im not that good with geek terminologies for phone (lol) tia
[T-Mobile LG G3] decaturbob:
if you want to mod or understand what the modding world is talking about, you should learn the terminologies....google usually offers up explanations....afterall XDA is a developer site for modders as its primary focus
[T-Mobile LG G3] sublimaze:
G3 TweakBox lets you double tap the nav bar to turn off screen. I tap the blank spot next between the nav button & edge of screen, it's much closer to my thumb (and a larger target) than the status bar.
[T-Mobile LG G3] kamote0127:
lg G3 Heat issues

Alright i'll try to understand your terms as much as possible. I know how to root phones just because of the instructions here. I don't know most of the terminologies but I can google it if I have to. So maybe i can follow instructions as well if you can provide me steps on what to do on the Heat issues of my phone. Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile LG G3] helikido:
Well guys im assuming that if i upgrade from my samsung vibrant to this phone i will love it hard right? I remember when i got the vibrant about 4 years ago (almost 5 now). It was pure love lol.
[T-Mobile LG G3] sublimaze:
Wow you are long overdue for a new phone. If you enjoy the lagfest that is Touchwiz, then you may be disappointed with the G3. Otherwise, you will probably love it [emoji41]
[T-Mobile LG G3] decaturbob:
I havent noticed any heat issues yet. I am rooted and running several rooted apps..and some mods. No heat issues to speak of yet.

blasted by TMO G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] hawkstwelve:
I have to say, besides the hype, I was excited to get this phone. It seemed like the right fit. After I got it, I wasn't that impressed. The battery life was eh, the camera was extremely poor (although I feel like mine was worse than most), there was little lag after some animations. But then I rooted (PurpleDrake ftw), did some tweaks, and tried to let things settle in. I installed Nova, and the lag was gone. After two battery cycles (charge up, let die) battery life has increased significantly. After applying a couple camera mods, the camera is great besides some certain low light situations (blue tint).

Overall, my experience with the phone has grown better and better as I have it. It's a great looking phone with good hardware and thoughtfully developed software. 5.5inch screen never felt so small.
[T-Mobile LG G3] helikido:
I had completely switched to aosp within a year lol.

Anyways here are my impressions: Using the phone and setting up everything I loose 20% for each our the screen is on. My first charge I got about 4:30 sot with 10 hours usage. Bear in mind that the battery is most likely not even broken in.

The screen hurts my eyes. Its as if the viewing angles are the cause yet i don't notice color shifts, just a polarizing effect of some sort that hurts my eyes. Its most apparent in low light, low brightness.

I compared the screen to my friends s4 and the s4 has the most vibrant colors, but the g3 was allot sharper and the color look very accurate and not over blown. However, the contrast is not on the level of the s4 (shows more detail in dark scenes).

Whites look white on the g3, on the s4 they had a yellow tint.

Heat? What heat? The S4 and S3 heated just as much compared with the same usage. No heating issues are present.

Camera is amazing. No lag, some stutters but no lag.

CHARGING IS FAST!

BRIGHT SCREEN! Its brighter than the s4 (Amoled screens loose brightness over time). \

Overall, I'm pretty happy with my phone. Debating whether to root it or not. I really want to.

PS: I noticed that the signal fluctutes allot and if i cover it with my hands i loose one bar? is this normal?
[T-Mobile LG G3] robert90262:
The more I have this phone the more I like it
[T-Mobile LG G3] decaturbob:
Love the phone but tmo coverage is lacking once you leave a metro area. G3 rocks.... He'

Hell.... I don't even care about flashing any roms

blasted by TMO G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] KING SKILLZ:
Best thing for me about this phone is the size, coming from the S4 & N5 this device's screen is noticeable bigger without the device seeming over-sized (like the Note). I usually go with a device based on aesthetics and potential development (meaning rooting/rom community not manufacture), so when i saw that the S5 was using the same design once again (i owned S2 & S3) i decided to give the N5 a try and man the development community is the real deal over there, developers are doing "nightlys" literally nightly!. But i missed having that sd card (i load a lot of movies for my daily transit commute) and interchangeable battery, so with those things into account and aesthetics the G3 seemed like the next best thing for me, but i doubt there is going to be robust development on this phone mainly due to the fact that it debuted after the S5 and M8, so i think a lot of developers may have moved on to one of those devices before the G3 was released. either way i'm holding on to the G3 and hoping development picks up, but with only really one T-mobile Rom presently, i wouldn't bet the house on it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] abrcrmdl23:
I like this phone a lot. I find that the screen and camera are really nice. The battery isnt as good as i would like but with normal use it is ok. I find that streaming video and playing games destroys the battery on this thing so fast it isnt even funny. The feel in hand is amazing for the screen size which was really what sold it for me. So far so good. Coming from a nexus i am pleased so far with my purchase.
[T-Mobile LG G3] RMXO:
My first was a lemon but enjoyed it enough to give it a second chance. So far it's been great and unless the Note 4 blows me away I might stick with it until some better comes or the release of the G4.
[T-Mobile LG G3] sublimaze:
T-Mobile G3 has been out for less than 1 month. I don't keep up with international G3 development, but how many custom roms are available for VZW, ATT & Sprint G3? Nada.

Development will come, you just have to be patient [emoji106]
[T-Mobile LG G3] KING SKILLZ:
that was my point. & it is not about patients, it was stating that developer laden phones usually has a lot of activity by now.
[T-Mobile LG G3] helikido:
What was so lemon like on the first one haha?
[T-Mobile LG G3] somethinboutpat:
Overall its a decent phone. Here's some quirks I've found when you go to stream a movie via dlna bluetooth turns on, when you pull down to sync your gmail email and dont have auto sync on it doesnt sync your emails, the dread aux out issue, voice commands arent great. Im coming from the note 2

[T-Mobile LG G3] _-..zKiLLA..-_:
This is is a very informative post?

Why are you returning it?
[T-Mobile LG G3] tarroyo:
9 out of 10 times I install a 3rd party launcher and a custom rom, I'm running stock no problem it doesn't feel heavy at all like other oem launchers, Say sense on htc and touchwiz on samsung devices on my G3 it runs so smooth.
[T-Mobile LG G3] decaturbob:
I agree... Out of the box the G3 runs pretty sweet. I do run ZoneROM now and have used xposed and g3 tweakbox to make it hum. Battery life averages 24 to 36hrs with a record of over 70hrs. Never had heat issues...... If TMO coverage was better I would have zero complaints.
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheBrandonWRX:
Mine is not going to work out either. Loved the G2 and wished I would have kept it. Main issues with this device is WiFi not grabbing hotspots (all Cisco AP @ work) I am sitting under (have had 2 G3's, the device will not let go of the farthest AP and connect to the one I am directly under even though the connection to the other one is not strong enough for network connection so I have to turn off WiFi forget SSID arrrghhh.) and dropping WiFi at home while using WiFi calling. Also, annoyed at some of the quirks of the OS. Great camera, fast enough device overall but not as fast as the G2 IMO as far as functionality. I could get past that if the WiFi was decent in my environment. Display is ok, battery is ok. Far more anxious for a new device then I was waiting on this which says a lot about my experience. Best of luck everyone!
[T-Mobile LG G3] sublimaze:
That is a carrier issue, not a phone issue.
[T-Mobile LG G3] babymatteo:
New G3 owner here came from an M8. Thinking about returning mine too. Cant believe how laggy this phone is. Out of the box compared to the M8 the lag is very noticeable. My M8 is running ARHD and its like butter. Im gonna install a custom ROM maybe removing all the bloat could make a difference. I really love the G3, but performance is making think twice about the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G3] shook187:
I too came from the M8 and I have to agree out the box the G3 doesn't perform as well as the M8 but after you spend some time tweaking it and using a custom launcher, things got better.

Personally even with the micro shutters, the G3 is a better overall phone compared to the M8.
[T-Mobile LG G3] BennyTwoThumbs:
So far I love my G3! I came from the LG motion (I know... I know) but that was the first phone I had to learn/experiment with in modding. I didn't want an expensive phone just in the off chance I murder it.

I flashed the skydragon rom/kernel and so far it runs amazing. (except for usb connection bug)

I look forward to learning/creating some things for this phone with you guys!

I hope you all have as great an experience as I am so far.

Do you use google voice? It's better with emojis than it used to be, but still not the best, could be the cause of your problem, I know it is mine.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pizzlewizzle:
yeah i do use google voice. I've tried sending SMS over 3G and 4G using google voice and my carrier in the hangouts app with no luck. I think it must have something to do with antenna in our phone or something because it sends fine over wifi
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smaw51:
I know it's a pain, but try disabling voice, or just have the voicemail part used. Not through the app, but on your computer, like completely disable voice and try that way. From what I know, it can't handle the emojis and they generally get turned into an mms in order to send. try it out and see if that's really your problem or not.

Ahhhhh thank you so much I can finally send them. Sprint integration with google voice was the problem. Once disabled it worked fine
