Yeah it does have good build. I actually like the build of the G3 as well.

I may call LG in the morning to see if they is aware of the overheating etc with the device. If they acknowledge the issue and let it be known that an update may be coming out to fix the issues, i may think against exchanging my G3.
[Sprint LG G3] Will32:
I saw in a post in g3 forums that said the international version has had multiple updates so far and their lag and heating issues are all but gone. I can't point you to the post/thread but I did see it. I don't have the heating issue and lag is minimal.
[Sprint LG G3] plmiller0905:
The only updates i found was the updates that bumped those devices to 4.4.2 which we are still on. However there is a lot of news online etc about the overheating issue, so thats why i would think LG will address it.

I do like the phone and want to keep it but that overheating issue really bombed me out yesterday.

**Edit** Just did a factory reset to see if that helps any. I also spoke to a Sprint Rep and they told me that Sprint / LG is aware of the overheating issue and they are looking into it. So I'm sure they will address it with an update.

I did a factory reset earlier today. I don't want to get my hopes up too high but this thing is running a lot smoother and the battery life seems a lot better too.

Lost my MPCS SGS3 about 3 weeks ago, and I got my G3 just yesterday! Loving it so far

Had both m7 and m8 now I'm here. Love htc and Samsung but this phone is awesome. I'll still be on the forums with the htc m8 and m7. I gave the m8 to my 8 yr old. Can't wait for some roms.

This is a really old thread but somehow found it, and see a lot of posts about no svdo or VOLTE. The evo lte had a radio that supported svdo (simultaneous voice and data). As to similar issue on Verizon, my understanding is that is has to do with cdma technology (also a common denominator between Sprint and Verizon). Cdma radios can't do both at the same time, unless they have a particularly designed chipset. If I remember correctly, evo lte could only do voice and data when on lte (hope I have that right). I'm not expert on this by any means. I just remember it was cool to have it, but unless on a gsm carrier you won't generally have it. Yes, the evo and s3 and moto photon had it. But I believe they were the only gen of spri t phones to have it (while Sprint was rolling out lte in 2012).
[Sprint LG G3] meyerweb:
Only partly correct. CDMA can support simultaneous voice and data if the device contains multiple radios. Sprint supported that on a number of devices until they started rolling out their Spark system. No Spark device supports simultaneous voice and data. Not because it can't be done, but because Sprint decided for reasons of their own not to do so. Verizon has never provided the capability, again, because of a policy decision, not because the technology can't do it.

If T-Mobile had decent service where I live and work, I would probably have dropped Sprint this year, just for this reason. I don't use it a lot, but when I've used it I really needed it. For example, looking up directions in Google maps and relaying them to someone over the phone. Pretty nearly impossible without simultaneous voice and data.

Late comer Roll call Bump!

Hey guys, Im on my second week of G3 usage and decided to say hey after reading around these parts. I come from a flashaholic'd Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4g Touch.... (Yeah, super glad I only have to say LG G3 now when people ask what I have) . I loved the old venom and Billgryen Project X roms with 3minit and xposed tweaks (ah forgot how to spell his name) on the SII. Really, i could probably still keep rocking that device but i was on my 3rd bloated battery and 800mb of ram really slowed things down. Actually, my wife is still on hers. Its only got root and a few battery tweaks. She says she's still happy with it.

I snagged the g3 on Swappa for a cool $370 - brand new in factory seals. So far, I'm using the iloome flex screen protector and the Nillkin Armor border case in grey. I may add a skin to the back. I like the idea of the border case because it think it will help keep any overheating under control and leave my options open to wireless charging. I was really big on the bouncy Trident cases for the SII, but I just didn't want all that bulk on this phone.

I OTA'd ZV6 ---- OOPS! I knew better, oh well. I have read through most of the threads about reversing this to ZV4 and bump'n and stump'n so that I can try xposed, but Im conflicted. I'd like to try stock 5.0 (if it ever comes out) - Just because. And I have faith in the awesome developers here that 5.0 will eventually get the XDa red carpet treatment with a true root. Then xposed says there will be NO 5.0 support. I really like xposed because there is no need to wipe and set everything back up like flashing Roms. So far there is alot of new to me stock things to keep me occupied until I catch the mod bug. Time will tell and I'll stay tuned.

So there it is, you guys are stuck with me for now!
[Sprint LG G3] MikeDroid:
Good to have some new enthusiasm around here. It's been kind of dead lately in the Sprint forums. Anyway, welcome. My advice is to stick with ZV6 or similar based ROM as it rocks with Xposed. I have Lollipop on my Nexus 5 and ZV6 on the G3 with Xposed is far superior. At this point, I don't care if we ever get Lollipop. Happy New Year.
[Sprint LG G3] meyerweb:
It may be a long time before a root exploit for stock G3 lollipop is found. LG has already blocked the exploits that allowed ZV4 to be rooted, and the locked bootloader bypass. Lollipop is much, much harder to deal with.

OTOH, there will almost certainly be pre-rooted versions of the stock lollipop ROM you can load if you're already rooted. Just as there are pre-rooted ZV6 ROMs available now.

If you want root, for any reason at all, you probably should do it now.
[Sprint LG G3] Slobadon:
Well, good thinking guys, not sure what i was thinking. The bug bit hard tonight. and Im spent. but i'll leave with this trace about what i've done that i suspect only folks on this forum could decipher;

LGG3>ZV4>ZV6OTA>ZV4(LGFlashTool>ZV4.TOT)>MSL/SPC(CDMADevTerm)>Bruteforce~StumpROOT>SuperSU>RemoveStump>Bump!(ADB>TWRP2.8.0.0/2.8.3.0Custom Recovery)>StockZV6Deodex

[Sprint LG G3] IamFlynn:
Got got it!

Its officially been a week on my new Sprint LG G3 and I am loving this phone. My only complaint about this phone is that there's no amoled screen. It just doesn't make sense to use the LG QuickCircle Case because the whole entire screen is powered on instead of just that circle (huge battery waster). I come from the Sprint Samsung Epic 4g Touch (where development was great) and that phone had a amoled screen and I loved it. I am disappointed and wished that the LG G3 had an amoled screen instead.

Aside from that, I am very surprised at the amount of development on this phone (I thought there would be so much more like the other variants have gotten), I mean it's great that we've gotten root and bootloader unlock but there's just not a lot of stuff happening here on XDA for this phone. I guess maybe this phone is quite new but I need to stop comparing the LG G3 to the Epic 4g Touch which had great development. I am also kind of mad that the other variants of this phone (such as the verizon model) has gotten official CM11 while our phone hasn't. I have no right to rant because I don't know how hard developing is but I wanna give a shoutout to everyone who has made LG so much more enjoyable!

I'm so looking forward to seeing where our device will go this year!!
[Sprint LG G3] kennwoodkenn:
Congrats on joining the party, go to setting, accessibility, color adjustment, move that around to your liking and the screen will pop, it's not in any review if you watch any they talk about washed out, I had my friend's note 4 and couldn't tell a difference in them except the deeper Black's, if you're on zv4 stomp and bump twrp, flash a zv6 updated ROM, I'm on Barrin V2 loving it, also with g3 tweaksbox and exposed

You can change your phone to your liking great combo, if you have updated your phone to zv6 you'll need to roll back via lg flaashtool to zv4 and start there I've bought a lot of phones this will probably be my only for a full year, very nice device, enjoy

Well, if none of your friends have PC, maybe they can find a WiFi hot-spot somewhere and download a ROM via his phone. Then save it to its internal memory. You give him your SD card and he copies it to it... A bit of procedure, but with no PC, you have to be creative! :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GreenXSI:
Hi,

I'm looking for a case for my Note 3. In particular I'm looking for a case that has bump protection with s-view option. Could be like those leather cases but it should have a rubbery frame to act as bump protector.

Please help asap!

Thanks bro!

Are there any other models? If there was one I'd prefer one with a leathery finish.

This is the only third-party S-View cover available here which I'm using now -

[IMG="Case2"]http://oi59.tinypic.com/169kges.jpg[/IMG]

It has a great look but no bump protection.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dr.m0x:
The slim armour view is the only flip case I've ever seen that has drop protection worth mentioning. This is why I prefer to avoid flip cases in general and just invest in a good tempered glass screen protector.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jomaxwel:
Yeah the slim armour view is the only one worth mentioning. Though be aware they are finger print magnets in black. Using this one now not the s view model. Also not a fan of flip cases tempered glass screen protector and a good case is my opinion. Good luck.

I have been trying to get to recovery mode all day, but cant get it to work :( I have been using the power button and down (BTW. My phone dont show a color when starting) I have also been using ADB from my computer to get to recovery mode, but with both these two solutions my phone only restart. Can anyone help me to get to recovery mode (dont have root, I have been trying to root for three days but cant do it :( )
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BanziBaby:
It the volume up key on mine with Philz recovery, it changes the led to purple & thats when you press volume up key, silly question but have you flashed a custom recovery on the phone? If so which one?

I don't think the stock Sony rom has accessible recovery.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathieulh:
There is no recovery partition on xperia Z2 phones, therefore there is no recovery to get to. Recoveries have to either be embedded in a custom kernel (requires an unlocked bootloader) or part of the system partition (works for rooted phones with locked bootloader), either way, adb reboot recovery isn't going to work. There are specific apps for xperia phones on the play store that allows rebooting to the recovery from the phone (regular ones won't work because they try to reboot to the recovery partition)

Obviously this also means the Sony official firmwares have no recovery, it doesn't need one anyway since it has flashmode and fastboot mode provided by SEMCBoot (the bootloader).

(Fastboot mode is fairly limited on a locked bootloader though)

To get root you either need to use an exploit (if you want to keep your bootloader locked) or unlock your bootloader, flash a custom kernel with a recovery (Doomkernel works) and flash CF_Root from the recovery menu.

I would suggest using the exploit first anyways so you can backup your Trim Area and be able to restore your DRM keys in case you want to have that option.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhon998:
Wow really useful tip
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
Root via rootkitXperia (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2559009) and then install XZDualRecovery (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606). You'll then have a rooted phone with locked bootloader and recovery.

[Verizon LG G3] EVOme:
I just played with the G3 and when I went through the settings to display, I realized it was maxed out. I backed it down to half and it was damn near dark. On full bright it's not as bright as my S5 on half.

Having to max it will be a huge battery issue...grrrrr!!!!
[Verizon LG G3] thedanks:
get over it, go out with somebody else... keep your s5?
[Verizon LG G3] EVOme:
Get over what? Did I say there was a problem? I am reporting my findings.
[Verizon LG G3] jmill75:
I was worried about this, GPad had the same issues and I went back to my trusty N7. Damn
[Verizon LG G3] flaring afro:
Just to clarify, you can change the brightness level while it still is on auto to change the max brightness. Are you sure it still wasn't on auto? Also, was it warm and possibly overheating and dimming the screen some? It also supposedly won't max out when charging.

I didn't think to check the brightness on the AT&T demo but it seemed bright enough in the brightly lit room. I believe one website speced it out at about the same nits as the DNA which I thought was bright enough, and much brighter than my Note 2.

I kind of wish phones had matte screens though. Then we wouldn't get the reflection in sunlight.
[Verizon LG G3] Rootuser3.0:
So when I'm on pornhub I can't see the happy endings with the dark screen?
[Verizon LG G3] EVOme:
It was all the way up. I then put it on auto and went down to 41, which is where my S5 lives...so dark. I then went all the way bright again and said to myself.....this is the level I'm used to.

I'll adjust to it I'm sure, but dunno why it doesn't go very bright.
[Verizon LG G3] Rootuser3.0:
"It was all the way up"....That's what she said....?
[Verizon LG G3] EVOme:

[Verizon LG G3] jmill75:
Actually as someone who is thinking of purchasing the device I welcome this thread.

By the way, who the heck are you? I believe there are mods who police the threads, we dont need you chiming in.
[Verizon LG G3] thedanks:
It's just kind of funny the first thread you see in the verizon section is someone complaining about the brightness (who already has an s5) when it's been thoroughly covered that the screen doesn't go as bright as some would hope... I checked it out in the AT&T store the other day and it it was bright in there with lots of sunlight.. It never phased me that it was dim. And it most scenarios I am going to be in darker situations than the AT&T store.. I say enjoy your s5.. Party on.
[Verizon LG G3] EVOme:
Dude....I am not trying to stop anyone from buying it. I have two on the way to me. I am just telling people what I immediately noticed when I held the phone. Often times people don't want to read through 137 pages to find an answer. This isn't the first and surely isn't the last dup thread you'll see.

[Verizon LG G3] EVOme:
As I told the other dude....My comparison to the S5 is only because that is what I have. I am ditching the S5 for the G3, so it's obvious I would look for what's better and where it lacks....So just because YOU think it's bright enough and wherever you say it was 'thoroughly covered' that there is a brightness concern, I guess that makes you sane and everyone else crazy.
[Verizon LG G3] thedanks:
Let people judge for themselves before you start scaring mass amounts of people away from buying the phone man. The title of the thread is a very in your face. My opinion is that it's bright enough for me.
[Verizon LG G3] droidfta:
The g3 gets around 450 nits at maximum brightness the s5 is around 500. Its not night and day difference so bfd. The s5 does get a little brighter in Sun light. But no one should be using max brightness indoors
[Verizon LG G3] MedicDave82:
There is an option to increase the contrast in the settings, it is set to a more natural tone to begin with. The S5 is majorly over saturated and although can be set to a higher temp then the G3 screen, it goes in line to the current trend of over-saturated screens as of late. Kick the contrast up on the G3 and see if that appeases your issues.
[Verizon LG G3] droidfta:
I would also like to add 450 nits is the v equivalent of 450 candlepower over one square meter or just imagine 450 candles lit in one square meter it is no slouch by any means. And Any real useable lcd in sunlight needs to be in the 1000 to 2000 nit range
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
It is not very bright and the contrast is not very good (it does not stand out though unless comparing next to each other). As per reviews and display analysis, this is part of the heat and power management of using a Qhd display with the current display panel tech LG uses. Each pixel has the same power efficiency as a 1080p panel, but twice the pixels to power up. Early next year we should see the second generation for Qhd panels that have the same power efficiency of 1080p displays now. Thing is 1080p will be even better, so still will have better battery life and performance.

Samsung will likely have less issues due to amoled tech using less power overall. Who knows though until the Note 3 and Prime release. Big battle brewing with Apple this fall.

[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
So just did a side by side comparison with the G3 and the Galaxy S3. The G3 is definitely brighter maxed out. The G3 at ~60-70% = GS3 at 100% so thats good enough for me. Also the GS3 is seriously GREEN in comparison. My eyes must've gotten used to it but now comparing them... yuck,
[Verizon LG G3] parapluie:
I'm coming from an S3 as well and if the G3 is as bright as that I'll be perfectly fine. Even brighter would just be a bonus in sunlight. Thanks! :good:
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
Hard to capture the difference on camera, but here they are side-by-side both at 100%
[Verizon LG G3] rhydian:
This screen is amazing. Not too dark at all and I'm at auto brightness 50%.

It adjusted fine in the sunlight.

I don't know how there are so many varying reports about the brightness.
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
Because its entirely personal preference. Some people like having a really bright screen even in relatively dim conditions, whereas some are perfectly fine with lower brightness. My cousin likes to set his screen as low as possible so that you can barely even see it even in broad daylight to conserve battery.
[Verizon LG G3] rhydian:
I get that. If you turn off the auto brightness and the display is super vibrant especially anything over 50%. I compared it to my gnex, a co-workers g4, and an iPhone 5 and it blows them all away.
[Verizon LG G3] kg2128:
Well according to Anandtech the S5 does have a noticeably brighter screen, and of course Amoled colors pop a lot more than LCD colors. But LCD colors are more accurate, and even as a person who prefers Amoled to LCD when given a choice, the G3 screen is great too.
[Verizon LG G3] BlueHarford:
i have no issues. mine came stock on auto brightness max set to 61%. i brought it down to 50% this morning can barley see a different. still looks great.
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
The issue is personal preference, but in spite of actual lab tests showing the G3 has lower brightness and contrast, some folk refute in an absolute manner and infer others are trolls. LG had no choice but to manage the display like they did. They are using panel tech designed for 1080p power efficiency in a panel with twice the pixels. Something has to be compromised, so they manage the display by reducing brightness, contrast and frame rate throttling.

All things considered, LG did a good job. If any folks here understand actual electronic needs for something like this it is impressive they made it work as good as it does.
[Shield Q&A] Volleymansam:
So I got my shield last week and have rooted it and I have been able to move all my apps to external sd. So far so good, but I want to move my save game from construction simulator to my shield. I don't have a problem getting the files off my m8 but I can't paste them to the folder in the mnt directory of the shields internal memory. I think I don't have permissions to write to it. Does anyone know how I can change this? I searched the forum but can't find it.

Thanks,

[Shield Q&A] ArmyMan007:
The only way I know how to change permissions is by downloading ES File Explorer, long press on a file / folder and tap "Properties". From there you can change permissions. Keep in mind that ES File Explorer will only work if you have SuperUser or SuperSU installed on your rooted device.

In your case I bet you can change the permissions of the "mnt directory" to both read and write. Let me know if it worked out :)
