[G3 General] HTCandroid1:
D855 3/32gb

Lags: nothing annoying or particularly noticeable for me. Definitely no worse than my S4.

Shutdowns: I haven't had one. Had the phone for about 3 weeks.

Camera: Honestly, I don't use the camera much so I can't say too much. But it had been good for me.

Screen: looks good to me and no visible digitizer. Although, I must admit that I can't help but think it would be a slightly better phone with 1080p.

Overall I'm very happy with the phone. I was expecting to send it back after a trial, going from a lot of comments from here.but I've found most of the stated problems are non existent for myself. Very good phone imo
[G3 General] whoppe862005:
+1 on that. Had mine over a month now without a single issue.
[G3 General] GuestK0087:
This.
[G3 General] Joao Oliveira:
Are you sure that you people are not buying Chinese fake phones? ;) I too have never experienced any lag, any heat (not more than any smartphone I've ever own and the s4 used to get really HOT) battery life around 6 hours SOT.

Jokes aside if you people are experiencing all these problems you should take your phone back for exchange or repair. It's definitely not normal.

To be honest it's the best android phone I've ever owned. I had the galaxy s, s3 and s4 .... I my original idea was to get the one plus one but it's impossible to get. After that one I don't think there's a better phone these days.
[G3 General] jah:
Same here. Always get these hate posts when new devices are released. Why don't people like the OP just return their devices? My G3 is fantastic and have had the Note 3 and M8.
[G3 General] hawkswind1:
It's funny watch people repeat like parrots that the 801/330 combo wasn't ready for qhd. Now the 805/440 is out and the benchmarks and performance is nearly identical to the 801/330. What now guys?
[G3 General] Batfink33:
To be honest,benchmarks don't mean much. The review I posted yesterday said after a week of use the 805 as smoother and faster than the 801 although battery was the same.

[G3 General] teddy0209:
I don't have any problems either on my G3 D855 32gb...

I don't experience those lags, screen problems and others...

We know it comes with QHD, we know the specs before buying it... I find it really funny that people complains about the QHD display after buying the G3, while they could have chosen to buy other phone without it.
[G3 General] Schrotty35:
I have many lags with my g3.
[G3 General] sweets55:
Lmao....It's funny if the G3 came out months later people would ***** about that. It's always something...Maybe LG did rush the G3 out but all manufactures are doing it. I guess I'm really lucky with my G3...I really don't have any issues with it other then a little heat when I first got it since I never put it down. lol

[G3 General] barondebxl:
I used to think that the occasional stutter on the UI was due to the QHD screen but I don't think that is the case. Yes a better suited SoC like the S805 would be better but even the Cat 6 G3 stutters which means its LG's ui that is the cluprit, not entirely the SoC. LG needs to do a better job with their UI.
[G3 General] shook187:
Just want we need, another thread about lag.
[G3 General] Joao Oliveira:
For crying out loud !!!! How many posts about lag do we need more?! If you're unhappy with your device, if you think there's something wrong with it. TAKE IT BACK, simple! Of course you can tweak it, of course software updates can make it better for sure, but on a short term period the improvements will be minor no matter what you do. A phone, OS, UI etc are built in a certain way and by tweaking them yourself alone wont turn it into a new phone.

To be honest with you, the more I tried to tweak mine the worse it got. Now I leave it as sock as possible. No tricksterMod no hidden menus about frames per second, NOTHING. Just uninstalled google bloat I don't need, Mcafee and that's it!

EDIT: Some moderator should really clean the "General" forum. It's starting to become a huge mess.
[G3 General] xSyric:
I don't see how people are having all these issues with their phone. I've had no issues with mine so far.
[G3 General] DT39:
The LG G3 is the best stock Android phone out of the box i have ever owned!

I agree can't work out why there is so many hate/problem posts.

The G3 is not butter smooth all the time i admit, but i have never had a butter smooth smartphone stock or custom roms, wherever that be a HTC, Samsung etc... And i have owned smartphones since the days of psion, casio & hp ipaq's [emoji12]

I'm not seeing this over heat issues or any major lag or stutters.

I'm also using a QI wireless charger and the G3 barely gets warm!

Anyway well done LG i went ahead on getting the G3 based how impressed i was with the build of my G watch.

Well happy here[emoji3]

Cheers [emoji482]
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
I am wondering, that no one is mentioning a yellow tinted display, as every G3 I saw (about 8) had this, some more and some less yellowish, but all kind of
[G3 General] sweets55:
How much is Samsung paying you peeps? LoL. Samsung has done that before.
[G3 General] Fir3blade:

[G3 General] malichevich:
Ok guys, LG G3 bla bla blaa

so did you notice bla bla about G3.

If i now it I've never buy G3 and again bla bla bla...

My advice to all owners of G3 and the one who will bay this phone is: Best Android phone ever made.

So bla bla boys good luck.
[G3 General] Steph09:
I've had my G3 for a while now and have had no overheating issues. It's only happened like 2 times when the phone was getting low on battery and had been working hard and for a while, I wouldn't doubt it happening to any other phone in thay same scenario. And regarding the famous lag, my phone does suffer from sporadic stutters while scrolling or typing (in whatsapp only, with both lg and google keyboard), not permanent, but I believe it does have to do with how the software works at the moment, like the settings of the display changing the fps at certain moments. I do not believe that the 801 SoC has an issue with the resolution, since other people have stated changes after modifying the lcd settings or activating ART and things like that. So I'm quite sure that it's a software thing... Either way, I am quite satisfied with my phone and believe that things will only get better as time goes by :)

I listened to him talk about that on their podcast, which is pretty good btw. On that he said you wouldn't know the difference if you were handed both with no branding.

If you don't want it, don't buy it.

If you bought it, don't cry about it.
[G3 General] sweets55:
Exactly. You usually get 14 days to try a phone out. That's more then enough time to make up your mind if it's a keeper or not. If you change your mind after the return date. That's on you.

Thats why we have an 805 G3 out now...they should have waited and just released that.

2 yrs though? How can you possibly have the same device for 2 yrs lol?

2 yrs is an eternity in this little world of ours.

If you dont like the G3 just buy something else, no biggie.

[G3 General] Joao Oliveira:
The performance of the 805 is a bit better, but basically the same, battery life also.

Some people just don't have enough money to buy a different phone every week, you know? And yes some people have to wait 2 years either because they are on contracts or simply because they cannot afford it.

I've stated before that I think people exaggerate a lot about the performance of the G3. I still think either they are doing something wrong or there's a problem with their devices But, "Don't like your device, buy a new one" is a childish argument. Spending 600bucks on a phone It is a biggie.
[G3 General] ramian:
I noticed minor jitters when I first got the phone, but after switching launcher to Nova, it is as smooth as I can imagine it to be. It could just be that LG's launcher is not really optimized for performance. Heating up is also not too much of an issue if you don't have brightness at 100% all the time.

And yeah, not everyone can afford to change phones so frequently. This is only my 2nd Android phone; my first was a GNex which lasted almost all of 2 years before prematurely dying. I had to use my wife's old Galaxy S (thankfully rooted and with CM7) for 2 weeks while waiting for contract to end before I could get the G3. The G3 on contract cost me as much as a Nexus 5 off contract here.
[G3 General] roki4:
My 3gb g3 world fast. Little stuttering in app drawer and thats it. It shut down on me only one time. I am happy with it. Z2 was more problematic than g3 when i was using it.
[G3 General] 2dorr:
To be honest, till firmware 10j I was a little disappointed also. I use Nova launcher and with it I don't get the lag from the stock one. Still Settings and Dialer are opening not so fast but these are the only slow things on my phone. And Dialer opens faster on stock LG launcher. And I usually use another Dialer app. But after 10j, even the stock launcher is smooth, still I use Nova because I change icon themes very often. I have a nice collection of icon themes. And with 10j I even turned off Thermal Mitigation that made the phone faster on older firmwares. Scroll is smooth everywhere, and I had lag on Tapatalk before, now it's ok. The only thing that I still hate is the multitasking button that not shows the open apps all the time, sometimes it's empty. I am really happy with the phone and also after seeing the G3 with 805, I am sure I made the right choice. I feel myself not wanting a phone with Snapdragon 805, but one with 810 :). And yes I am on ART. I use ART on my other 2 Android devices Nexus 7 and Moto G and I had no issues till now.

To be honest, I am very impressed with LG. To change a phone speed completely with a new firmware, it's a big achievement. My last LG was a 2X and it was crap. LG is in another league at this moment fighting the big guys. I remember when they had almost no updates for their phones.
[G3 General] Varming:
If they would/could fix the hissing sound in the headset, I would be close to happy. As is now I can't use the phone for listening to music which is a major issue. I will stick with the phone for another month and if it isn´t fixed by then I will most likely return it.

The strange thing is that I "only" get the hissing sound in headsets (tried 3 different brands including the ones that come with the phone). If I use earphones (and the phone accept it´s an earphone which happens like 50/50) the sound is great.
[G3 General] jasjeev4:
Sounds to me a lot like what happened with the Optimus 2x when LG were just looking to be first.
[G3 General] force70:
Yes from the reports coming in the 805 is marginally better which is a little surprising. Makes me wonder if LG has optimized the device for the 805 yet?

And the dont like your device comment was a statement not an argument. $600 may be alot to some not so much to others. And i def cannot afford a new phone every week!

[G3 General] Batfink33:
Did the Android police review not say there was a small but noticeable difference in the lag and stutter on the 805 version? Erica Griffin definitely showed a difference in frame rate in games with the 805 QHD S5 prime. That was much smoother than the 801 G3. It does make me wonder if the 805 G3 has been fully optimized. It will be interesting to see how the Note 4 performs with its QHD and 805 (although it seems that's hitting with 4GB RAM also)
[G3 General] force70:
I think Sammy will probably get it right after all theyve had LGs devices to learn from plus additional time for tweaking.

If they screw it up they will look very bad!

All i know is they better not lock the bootloader...that is the only reason i havent jumped on the G3 yet..well that and LG was stupid enough not to release it in white here in canada.

I walked into Rogers launch day with cash ready to buy and only one colour..go figure.

[G3 General] Batfink33:
The N4 is a spec beast and if it doesn't perform well then it will really look bad. It does worry me they're rushing it early before the Iphone6.
[G3 General] splcfiya:
I think what he is saying is how much of the lag is due to QHD and how much of it is due to LG's skin. People have been reporting that after they removed bloat and put on nova launcher, its much snappier.
[G3 General] LBTaylor1984:
I appreciate very occassionally it plays up, but in the general I've had no issues, I'm the UK ona D855 but while the keyboard is laggy in FB (dunno why) the rest it's fine. I do admit when my upgrade is due in April I'll probably move on to something else, but thats just who I am.
[G3 General] androiduser991:
Nova helps but it still drops frames and lags. As I said use the latest 1080 S801 flagship's and the difference is there.

You can't use the same SOC for a 1080 phone and then use it on a QHD phone and expect to have the same performance,the QHD whatever way you look at it requires more resources to run it. The LG Rom isn't great and its not optimized but that's not the only issue,the hardware is also the issue and people looking for firmware updates or "miracle" lag fixes are kidding themselves.Its no surprise most of the (major) manufacturers have avoided the 801 for QHD and its no surprise LG are releasing the Prime (probably) worldwide. They released 801 QHD too early to try and get a headstart on the other manufacturers and its a mistake.
[G3 General] splcfiya:
I'm not saying that the s805 wouldnt perform better. But the launcher HAS to be taken into account here. Especially with people reporting improved performance when using a different launcher. Should samsung have waited for the s805 to release on their gs5?

I'm just saying lets not minimize the impact of their brand new launcher perhaps being too heavy.
[G3 General] androiduser991:
The standard Galaxy S5 has an HD display and uses the exact same SOC as the standard G3 which is a QHD? The Prime Galaxy S5 has a S805 which is QHD. Yes Nova makes a difference but not much,you still have the stutter and lag (certainly on my UK G3). In any case you should be able to use a phone straight out of the box and not have to go searching for lag fixes and alternate launchers.
[G3 General] splcfiya:
Yes and what Im getting at is the M8 and the GS5 both use 1080p displays but the M8 is noticeably quicker. Not saying the 2k display doesnt require more power, but I think optimizations play a large role. People just saying "oh 2k without 805 = complete fail" And i don't necessarily agree with that.
[G3 General] WastedJoker:
I'm not overly concerned at the lag I've been getting although I agree that it seems to be graphical lag because it only happens during "transitions" such as scrolling in app drawer or bringing up the recent apps menu etc. Whether that is down to the chip being slightly underpowered for a QHD screen or whether it is simply because the software is not optimized remains to be seen.

I recall the HTC One m7 suffering from very jagged performance at release and that went away with a couple of updates (although I was using custom ROMs long before then on mine).

I'm confident that future updates should address these issues because those slight lags aside, this phone feels fast as poo down a baby's leg to me and I'm thoroughly enjoying my experience with it.

I just wish the custom rom scene would pick up :(
[G3 General] Batfink33:
I don't even think the 805 is powerful enough for QHD. Its not a big enough bump.

To get the M8/IPhone smoothness you're looking at the 810. The next gen QHD phones using the 805 next year I think will all have a degree of stutter and lag unless the software its supremely optimized which it probably wont be.

I'm fairly sure the 801 is at its upper limits rendering QHD though.

Edit: Just saw the Cat6 video with frame rate dropping because of thermal throttling so I might take the above back lol.
[G3 General] sweets55:
Not that I notice the lag that much but I thought I read the UK already got two updates which helped or fixed the lag.
[G3 General] dondavis007:
I bought myself a OnePlus One, and the G3 is in a box. A box to be opened when something major happens to this phone. The camera is pretty good, screen ratio is great, but a trip to Turkey showed me what the phone is good for. The screen gets to dark in the heat, the darn thing shut itself down outside the shadow and the battery just wasn't good enough in this particular condition.

Back in the box, for now..
[G3 General] androiduser991:
This pretty much shows everything I've been saying here.

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YCpcEtokiJ0
[G3 General] cooldoud:
So, I'll gladly agree that the g3 would have been a better phone with a fhd display rather than the ridiculous qhd (seriously, no screen in my house has that many pixels...), and that they should have at least paired it with a sd805...

But am I the only one thinking LG did a very good job of optimizing their software well enough so that the phone doesn't feel like it's struggling to move all these pixels around? Now if you don't mind I'm going to prepare for some serious flaming as I have a feeling that I am indeed the only one :)

(Note that l upgraded to 10f through ota out of the box so not sure how the release experience was, and I'm coming from a ridiculously slow note 1, so my expectations were probably lower than most of you guys)

[G3 General] EcPercy:
I have noticed a bit of lag here and there, but it doesn't seem any different than other phones that I have owned.

My main gripe is that the screen is so dim when you run it on auto brightness. I think the brightness sensor needs some work on the software side. It doesn't detect the light quick enough and adjust the screen correctly. It takes 15 seconds from when you turn the screen on before the phone reliazes that you are in a bright area and that the screen should be brighter. I would expect this to happen within 5 seconds.

Hello everyone!

I am new here.

I just bought a Sony xperia Z. I am one of those people who have some privacy concerns specially concerning webcam/voice/location/and other personal info on my phone.

I read a lot about rooting your phone. I'm a bit lost now on this issue. Does it help me alter app permissions so that google play for example can't reach my personal info? If not, what can be done?

Do I need to root the phone? If so, what's the easiest way to do that?

I just want to have full control over what my apps do in the background & what permissions they are given so that I rest my mind "google an't getting my business".

Hello Guys.

I bought a WiFi Disk-Case Systec PX-4709 or Powson PX-4709. Because its very small.

For this disk exists a app named "AirStor" (Power7 Technology).

A test is in androidpit. this device is shown in the app, but i cannot move anything or create folders on the device.

The software is very too basic. Oter software like "WiDisk" and so on is not working too.

So i tried with "Total Commander" and FTP or LAN plugin. But with LAN (port 80) and FTP (port 21) i get no access.

A try with "ES Datei Explorer" and the LAN, WEB and FTP options but the device will not be found.

The procedure to have access to the drive is:

- Connect to accesspoint / Server of the drive over WiFi-Network

- Start the app AirStor: the device is shown now as empty

- It is possible to change the drive parameter like SSID and IP, but this was not function. So i take the default

- Select a file and copy it to the disk, but this is not going

With which software can i get a access on the device? I see the mac and the IP address, but i not know the ports for communication.

Can i find out which communication-protocols are running and on which port? Or which protocol is using by AirStor?

Unfortunately in Windows i cannot have access too. I cannot ping and see the device.

Over USB i have with Windows 7 pro 64Bit also no access. Its only possible to connect with AirStor?

Can anybody help me?

Kind regards
