Regarding the lag, I really don't think the S801 and Adreno 330 is powerful enough for 2k, I'm certain of it. Its blindingly fast and smooth on 1080 but its pushing its limits rendering 2k. In my experience of Roms and kernels and phones, you will get a small performance increase using custom Roms and kernels but you won't get a fully smooth , 1080 type S801 performance. A lot of people in here seem to disagree but its glaringly obvious to me. You can even see it in the Mi4 videos. The SOC is at its upper limits trying to produce a smooth frame rate. Incidently, I read LG said the phone has an "adaptive frame rate" to save power. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.Its got a low frame rate because it can't produce a high frame rate.
[G3 General] rkirmeier:
WOW! I just can't understand how people can be that critical and adamant about the very tiny bit lag this phone has on occasion. Honestly I don't even notice it at all... Are all you complainers just spoiled kids that were given an iPhone at 5 years old or what?

I am coming from an S3 and after having it for 2 years, it was only pin the last 6-8 months that people really started refining their custom kernels and Rom makers really started to make the S3 super fast and stable with amazing battery life.

So when I think about the amount of time the G3 had been available...it is plain and simply too early.

So you are on v10a... Well then, without going through great lengths of modding/rooting it customizing, just get the OTA which should be available in the UK by now and update to v10e before you start your comparisons between the G3 and S5

Remember you will need at least 3 days after the update to really compare something like battery life... So the system had time to settle.

Six years old actually

This makes sense to me. I don't buy the LG line either
[G3 General] bill3508:
Problem is when the brand new flag ship lags worse than a 2 year old slightly modded but much slower device spec wise you know there are issues. The lag is serious not really sure how some are justifying it.

[G3 General] Batfink33:
Its not rocket science either.

You've got virtually the same system on chip powering the latest line of 1080 resolution phones.Then you put it in a phone and it has to render 4x the pixels. Not to mention the extra RAM the QHD screen is using 300HD v 600QHD. If you've got a UK model with 2GB you will be having serious redraws because of apps being killed in the background because of the extra RAM that's being used by the QHD screen.

If you're willing to take the performance hit then fair enough but it does exist and no amount of ROM or kernel tinkering is going to change it. On a side note, are LG going to be one of the only major phone manufacturers using the S801 for 2k? Big mistake by them if they are.
[G3 General] BioVolt:
The only lag I was facing was in the LG home, without any mod/root/etc but with a simple install of another launcher...i couldn't find a problem anywhere.

So when I hear people talk about the lag etc.. I don't pay much attention because I don't see it to be a hardware problem or lack thereof, I find it to be a software issue.

I do however think it would all run a lot another if they based it off v4.4.4 on the very least and currently that is my major disappointment, but I am hopeful that in time because it is so new we will get the next version up... in other words I hope they skip v4.4.4 and jump ahead of it, but maybe I am a wishful thinker.

Edit: the S3 was **** when it was released too...
[G3 General] Semantics:
I never understood goodbye threads for a couple of reasons.

1. Just go buy a phone that works for you.

2. Nobody cares what phone you buy, and writing on the message board won't change that.

I chuckle when people say that the recent apps takes 2 times as long to open. Really? You are that f'in impatient that if your old phone opened it 1/10th of a second that 2/10ths of a second is a dealbreaker? Thats ridiculous.
[G3 General] Dvin211:
I had the S4 before and after seeing the display and specs on the G3 I had to have it.

The first 72 hrs I hated it. I was so used to Samsung's touchwiz the phone felt naked without it. The display seemed lackluster, I was used to amoled.

In the last week this phone and really grown on me. I'm not really seeing much of the lag some are experiencing. The display really has a more natural look to it. I watch a lot of movies on my phone and they look amazing. As far as the heat issue I only had it happen once, rebooting the phone seemed to fix it.

This phone has been out in the US for what 12 days? That's really not enough time to judge the potential of the phone.
[G3 General] rkirmeier:
FYI.. QHD = 4x720p not 4x1080p

Any the 801 works just fine with this resolution. Some people you just can't please and they will complain about anything. I've had the S2, S3 ,S4 and this phone is leaps and bounds better then the S4. Wasn't even interested in the S5...
[G3 General] Semantics:
This is exactly right. When a poster says, I had the N5, then went to the G3, and got rid of it for the M8, and now I am finally happy with the Z2, it shows how impossible they are to please, and I don't take anything they say seriously. They'll never be happy.
[G3 General] alizonmi:
Are we absolutely sure a kernel or Rom will not fix the lag issue ? The lag feels more like a software issue and not a hardware issue.
[G3 General] awtryau89:
I would think so. When I purchased my phone, the first thing I did was factory reset and switch to ART. I have been using ART for 2 weeks as of yesterday. I rooted with towelroot and debloated. I had some lag no matter what I did with the stock launcher. Then I switched to Nova. Nova cured all lag that I noticed. Finally yesterday I got tired of some of the things in the AT&T rom and I switched back to dalvik to install xposed and G3 Tweaks. I immediately noticed more lag in opening apps. This is natural though because of dalvik. Still its worth it to get the phone like I want it. All that said, if we get some good devs working on roms, this phone will be magic.
[G3 General] nap007:
Lol never heard of consoles? They do that this generation, 900p 30 fps locked

Get real, even a gtx 780ti can struggle at 1440p res, what makes people think tiny crap smartphone gpu can handle 1440p?

/Semi sarcasm
[G3 General] BoundsChecking:
Biggest thing for me is the speed difference between ART and Dalvik. This device FLIES on ART, and I switched back to Dalvik for Xposed, and am probably going to switch back. It is very very noticeable.

I've been an LG fanboy for a long time, and while I do think the 801 was not the right choice, I do believe that here on XDA is where we see the difference, because we actually look for the hiccups and stutters. To a normal consumer (trust me, I work for AT&T, and have sold a crap ton of these G3s), this phone is the best they have ever had.

I have sold 23 of these devices, and have gotten only one return, due to the customer not liking the back buttons.

All around? Great phone for an average consumer.
[G3 General] toncij:
I'm currently running M8, G3 and Z2. Love M8 for snappy UI and some nice features, hate for smaller screen. Z2 has some great software tools, 4K video, but oh boy it hurts to hold, and G3... Great screen, great design, light, but lackluster TV remote and lag is there...

Wish I could put Sense UI into G3 together with battery of Z2 and its video /audio. :)

By tomorrow I'll choose one phone for myself. Not sure which one.

I don't expect LG to deliver better drivers for G3 or even be Android L. G3 variant with 805 is soon out. It will be a hardware solution to lag and better overall experience.
[G3 General] Batfink33:
LG say the phone alters its frame rate depending on how you use it to save battery for example when your looking at a still photo it reduces the frame rate (from LGs website) It doesn't say the frame rate is locked. It also says it uses adaptive clocking and timing. Happy to be proved wrong but how do they do this? Are they talking about the CPU and GPU thermal throttling for "adaptive clocking"(which happens all the time?)Sounds like marketing nonsense to me.

Straight from LGs website:-

Firstly, by using Adaptive Frame Rates, unnecessary energy consumption can be minimised. When you are looking at a still image, for instance, the display uses less energy than a standard Quad HD display. Secondly, Adaptive Clocking reduces battery consumption through CPU clock optimisation, and finally, Adaptive Timing Control optimises display energy consumption.
[G3 General] le3ky:
Coming from a Galaxy Note 3, I'm very happy with the phone 2 weeks in. Haven't had any of the lagging, haven't downgraded my screen resolution, haven't actually done anything bar run greenify (which I do on all my phones anyway)..
[G3 General] jetsetwilly:
Here's Lisa Gade with a smackdown vid between the S5 and the G3...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhG-O0zdctg

Not much in it to warrant switching. Who knows, maybe the Prime but looks like the G3 has the edge at the moment (for me anyway).

On the lag front, I've been using Nova launcher so have not really noticed any. I tried switching back to stock launcher and noticed quite a bit but as others have said, once the roms start coming out, I'm sure that will improve. Without that though, I'm definitely off - there's no fun without being able to flash a rom every now and again.
[G3 General] Japultra:
I've had a very positive experience with the G3 thus far (3 weeks in today). I switched the launcher pretty much immediately so I didn't really notice much lag. There are some stutters here and there but I expect these to go away with further software optimisations from LG and once Xposed is updated to work with ART, I don't foresee any issues at all.

Battery life has been decent considering I don't have internet at home and am on LTE while in my flat. I get about 4h15m or so of SOT (I'm a little bit over 3 hours at 25% battery). And this is considering my signal hovers around -100 dBm, which is a pretty weak signal. Once my internet is installed and I can jump on wifi, I expect battery life to be better.

I'm using a Hong Kong version of the phone in London (3/32).
[G3 General] toncij:
I've switched to ART and Apex launcher and have it very smooth now.

I want LG to fix their launcher.

BTW, annoys the hell out of me that LG doesn't offer bootloader unlock like Sony and HTC do.
[G3 General] geoff5093:
Coming from a G2, battery life has been amazing for me. I don't live on my phone, so I'll get around 1-2 hours of screen on time during the day, and go to bed with 50-75% battery left (compared to about 25% on my G2). This thing sips battery when idle.
[G3 General] atistang:
Are you sure? I've heard that's only happening in Korea
[G3 General] hello00:
it is only korean variant
[G3 General] Billy Madison:
Because that is a bunch of lying

And for those who want to open recent apps twice as fast as on stock there is developer's options to set animation to .5x. That's because phone uses animation to show recent apps and with default speed its animation speed is intentiously slow, on intent, IDK correct word sorry

The animatios on Nexus are intentiously fast, that's it, N5 was made for geeks, and G3 is made for average public who would frown if transitions would fly too fast, so transitions are made intentively slow
[G3 General] toncij:
Yes, I think you're right. I hope LG will go Android L with G3. But I doubt that will happen since they did not follow Sony and HTC on those announcements...

It may happen...

Very brave from you to call people liars. No, even with animations OFF, there is almost double the delay than with Z2 and M8. It is simply true with Home launcher.
[G3 General] Batfink33:
"Nexus 5 was made for geeks"....

Wow!
[G3 General] Semantics:
Mine was unlocked out of the box. :)
[G3 General] Billy Madison:
What "wow"? Nexus series was always the line for developers aka "geeks". That's the whole reason of Nexis' lack of SD slot as well as poor camera (up until Nexus 5) and a undercapable battery which don't allow to use even for day. The're not for average Joe out there

IDK why not you or other guys comment on examples I've found. Do those show lags?
[G3 General] eBoody:
What do you mean downgrade to 1080p..? The camera?
[G3 General] cc16177:
There's an app you can download which will change the screen resolution back down to 1080p and the phone does indeed run much better.

I prefer the look of the higher resolution even with a small amount of lag so went back to the default settings.
[G3 General] toncij:
Bootloader?

Will check tomorrow, can't click now on EDGE :)
[G3 General] 613BulletProof:
Went from a Nexus 5 to a Xperia Z2 to the LG G3.

Coming from the N5 to the Z2 I could feel a tiny lag on the Z2, honestly not enough to bother me though.

Going from the Z2 to the G3 however, I did feel instant lag, not horrible, but noticeable to a user like me.

I was very disappointed at first, but after switching to ART, rooting the phone and freezing a couple of unneeded apps / services, this phone runs just fine now. No complaints here, one of the better phone I have ever owned simply because of the IR feature, Wi-Fi calling, and a great camera in my opinion. Also loving the back buttons now, so much more convenient, double tap to unlock is instant, this phone is awesome. Yes a few tweaks had to be made but to someone like me it is no big deal honestly, those tweaks didnt take more than a hour honestly..

My coworker here has a OnePlus One and I know he secretly wants my phone haha.

I say give the phone a chance, wait for some OTA updates before giving up.
[G3 General] bdt1978:
It's a shame that all four of the major flagships just can't nail it.

S5 lacks build

Z2 just that bit too slab and bezel heavy

M8 awful camera

G3 lag and battery

Surely someone will make the perfect handset !

Btw. .. my original post was not moaning it was born out of wanting this handset to be the one... In the end it was just too rushed IMHO
[G3 General] eBoody:
Can you link the app? Or is it one those genetic resolution changers?
[G3 General] cc16177:
It is just called resolution changer.
[G3 General] Semantics:
Yeah, T-Mobile has an unlocked bootloader.
[G3 General] ant78:
I've had the g3 for 3 weeks now and I'm leaning to the sell on eBay side unfortunately. I really expected more and I am slightly disappointed with certain aspects of the phone. It seems it was rushed out and not 100% finished. I do miss my note 3 that was running a custom Rom and was nearly flawless. I'm going to give it a couple more weeks to see if I can fall in love with it or hopefully a decent Rom will help the g3 out
[G3 General] Billy Madison:
OK, the G3 is perfect, moronic whining about battery is just that, whining. The battery in G3 is OK, it's little 10% less than in G2 so usagewise it's enough for 1 day.

And as for "lags", people who irritated by lags just need to make youtube videos showing them and post links to www.fb.com/LGMobile

Look at this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2299888 I was pissed of by colour reproduction of OG Pro and made THAT topic. I'm sure that that topic was eventually shown to LG BOSS and he told them guys in engineering stuff to make G2 screen properly. AND they made it right, with yellows and all that pinks and magentas.

So you just needed to point to LG Bosses the defects in sotfware to make them fixed

The s5 is definitely brighter than the g3.if you saw it at best buy that way the auto brighteness or something was on. You put both side by side with 100% brightness on not auto and you will see how much brighter the s5 is. There are a few YouTube videos that show this. I did it also at best buy. I have an s5 active myself and was a little disappointed at how dim the g3 was compared to my s5.
[G3 General] jjswee:
The G3 was brighter. I had auto off and brightness maxed on both. It was close, and maybe the color temperature played a part but the G3 was a hair brighter. At mid level brightness (Samsung has no percentages), the samsung was definitely brighter.
[G3 General] lossah:
I love everything about the phone, EXCEPT the lag. Its really annoying. Im allergic to lag. :(

Im using v10e and Nova. Every time i enter settings etc for example it takes like 1sec to response. Or from web browser to home.

By the way, i guess Find 7 also lag? If not this can be solved via software? Exactly same spec and res.
[G3 General] turt:
Galaxy Tab Pro from Samsung have a higher resolution (2560x1600) than the G3 with a good old S800... Nobody complains about performance. Go figure...

EDIT : also the new Galaxy Tab S have s800 + 2k screen. Not even S801.

Hi,

long story short: while trying to install CM on my old one s I first flashed the boot.img as described here: h t t p : / / wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_ville. It appears that the firmware overwrote the custom recovery on a reboot, and when I entered recovery to install CM I got a screen saying "entering recovery..." in pink at the top, htc logo in the middle, and "This build is only intended for development, to not leak from HTC" (something like that) in red at the bottom. Nothing happened.

I shut it down and started it back up, and it went to boot with the same htc logo and red message at the bottom -- and froze there. Only 10+ sec power button restarts it, nothing else helps. Weird enough I noticed that if it's on a cable it won't restart but just stay off, and if it's not connected it will restart immediately, no chance to switch it off.

Here's my biggest problem: my volume rocker is brocken. Up works somewhat, but down is 95% dead. I entered the bootloader through adb before, but since I can't boot the phone anymore I can't get in anymore.

It seems to me like the best solution would be to somehow fix the volume rocker. It's not 100% dead, occasionally I could get a keypress through, so I would just suppose the contacts are a little bad and I could just polish it a little? But the phone seems a pain to take apart.

What would you suggest? Is it too easy to break the whole thing while trying to clean the contacts of the rocker?

Thanks for any help / comments!

Taking it apart is smth you can do. Ik its hard, i tried but if you're confident its your power button then do it. After you reveal the back of our phone, you can access the buttons

[HTC One S] compul:
While that is my last resort, I'd like to avoid it. I do have a working Nexus 5 after all.

It's the volume rocker, not the power button; and it's been broken for a long time. I'm a little afraid I might rip things apart, but this makes it look outright easy: youtube.com/watch?v=6j25jajIq3g. I'll give it a try.
