[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GorillaPimp:
My first G3 had a minor exterior defect. My 2nd has been flawless. No Bluetooth issues. No lag at all. I'm not going to buy powermat accessories so I won't get burned there. I have a GS5 that can't call out in my car. Cannot work around that. I think the G3 is better in every way. First time using the stock launcher since the first week in my Nexus 1.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb1111:
Every phone has its issues. I went from a Blackberry (loved it for email, hated it for anything internet related) to an S5 to a G3. The screen size, photo quality in lower light and the knock blew the S5 out of the water. The battery life and screen brightness in sunlight are the two major drawbacks for me. I can fix the battery life with an extra battery but there isn't much one can do about the screen - ahhh well, winter is coming and there won't be any sunlight...

Not "another" cable but a premium cable to go with your premium phone and premium system. If your cable is sub-par you'll have issues that get blamed on the phone.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTCC:
I bought an S5 and sold it the same week, then I bought the M8 and a Oneplus One with 2 invites so I ended up having 3 of them with the M8 and then I got the G3

I sold my last Oneplus One yesterday for £340 and today I sold my M8 for £360 because I know that even though the G3 isn't perfect it is my favourite android phone out at the moment.

When I got the G3 I wanted white but the Carphone Warehouse didn't have one so I got gold and at first I didn't like the colour but now I love the colour.

I discounted the Z2 because having had the Z and Z1 I found them to be uncomfortable in my hand and the Z2 was worse.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonie01:
I feel that LG is on the right track with the G3. I'm happy with the S5. No issues and has a lot of development going on. I can see myself getting the next LG premium phone. It does suck that I have small hands and almost dropped the G3 several times because of the size.

I can wait as long as i can though ... I really love my G3 ;)

I like my G3 alot. I dont understand all of the complaints. Hold on to it and wait for bootloader unlocking etc.. Its still usable. This is kind of a western world problem.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkimOfficial98:
Its kinda problem dude when u cant even use custom rom..

Cant even use custom kernel

But so far i`m impressed with my stock rooted g3 though

Although have minor issue ..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnovanova:
I usually go from galaxy s to nexus, whenever the new version pops out and to me the G3 is the best of both worlds. Like the s5 it has the smartsay function that actually works unlike the s3,s4 and s5. The dual window the expendable memory and a removable battery. Like the nexus it doesn't have touchwiz, lol.

JK it has the on screen button and a much lighter UI. IMO the G3 is everything I expected from the s5 and more. I really love the buttons in the back. My G3 is smooth, snappy and responsive. The battery lasts around 24h with moderate usage, sure I hate the fact that the bootloader is locked and my thirst for flashing goes unquenched. But is it a deal breaker? HELL NO! With Nova and xposed I got all the customization I need.

That being said, I'm keeping my G3 for sure until the nexus 6 comes along I guess cause I sure as hell ain't going back to the galaxy s series. I guess from now on it'll be G4, N7 or N6 (2015) and so on.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwhooftman:
After having it for 3 weeks, i decided to stop kidding myself that the screen colours & contrast are OK. I'm returning it and gonna go for a Note 4.

The funny thing is, if i do not touch a samsung phone for a few days, i tend to become happy/ok with the screen colours & contrast. But after using a samsung galaxy s 3-4-5 for a few seconds, i tend to think the G3 screen is defective, that dull.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTCC:
That is a bit people thinking that women with implants are normal and when they see a woman with natural breasts, big or small they think they are not right.

I don't like amoled screens for the same reasons that you do like them. Different thinks suit different people.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnovanova:
Slow clap my friend. I couldn't have said it better. Some people like the over saturation of samsung amoled screens. I personally think they don't replicate all colors right and they do seem a tad bit unnatural. I find the g3 screen has the perfect balance the nexus 5 was a bit too cold and the s5 is just too much IMO of course.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D0MINO:
I will probably end up keeping it though with the Note 4/Galaxy Edge out some might be tempted by that but only those that are comfortable with a Phablet. Also, I bet you those phones will get root within days and an unlocked bootloader at the same time then custom ROMs galore so you cannot even compare them to our limited G3. I think that possibly LG will lose sales due to the locked bootloader. I'm not sure how long it took for the exploit on the G2 to be found so you could load ROMs but remember the G2 bootloader has never been unlocked yet and we are on the G3 now. This was my worry with buying this phone but I still did..don't regret it but I may do if I am still here 6mths down the line forced to be satisfied with stock!

My next phone will be one with at least a Snapdragon 805 (or whatever the incarnation will be when 3GB RAM is just not enough anymore lol but I have read the market is reaching saturation like it has in S Korea and at some point nobody will be wanting to upgrade their expensive phones as regularly anymore without any new true innovations)..possibly the G3 successor (but ONLY if the G3 bootloader is unlocked like SOON!), as I do notice the lag and whilst it's not much of a bother, you would expect a top spec phone to not have that! I'm guessing it is due to the 801 pushing the 2K res which it's not designed to do but from what I read before, turning down to 1080 doesn't make much difference and gives issues with some apps. Otherwise it is most likely a software optimisation issue which will only really be sorted with a custom ROM.

RE the AMOLED comment, in that case that poster will never buy another phone aside from a Samsung purely based on the display. Sure the AMOLED looks vibrant and punchy but the G3 is just as good in other ways and is certainly not defective! :silly: I have just come from an S1 and whilst the blacks are not as black and colours not punching u in the face, it's more natural and easier on the eye. If you have had the S2/S3/S4 in a row then you will obviously see the difference but I think most people are nitpicking. You get used to it but if keep switching to an AMOLED then G3, they are different tech and of course you will notice the difference! Basically you are making yourself unsatisfied on purpose! U know, on my PC monitor I used to turn on the Vibrancy option on the NVIDIA control panel because it made the picture look so good and many times when I bought something online the colour was not the same as the representation on screen was unrealistic due to over saturation. After some expensive purchasing mistakes, I now never have it off as I want realistic colouring.

..I am just having a look at the specs for the Note 4 and this comment by someone made me laugh:

The BlackBerry PassPort will feature a 3450 mAh battery, 2.2GHz quad-core 800, 4'5 inch screen (1:1), 3GB RAM and a OS that isn't heavy on battery life, i.e. 10.3... and yes a QWERTY keyboard which doubles as a track pad. This should easily be the ultimate business phone.

AMEN!

It's more that i like big breasts in general, but i get your point :) Indeed, we have the luxury to choose what suits us best, thats a blessing.

---------- Post added at 06:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------

Well, you certainly have a point, because when grabbing a S5 after using a G3 for a few days, my first impression is it is very very colorfull. But first of all, i like it that way. And then, i have the option of turning the brightnes down of reducing the saturation if i want to (it may take rooting or an extra app to do that). With the G3, my normal working setting is 100% brightness, and color saturation can't be upped (despite the color adjustments in the accessibilty options). So the headroom i'm wishing for isnt there.

Plus if i keep being unhappy for 2 years every time i have used my wife's $300 Umi X1 china phone with better colors & contrast, something is not right..

It's a bit like stating that the first iPhones screen size will be ok forever, or 512 Kb RAM, or B/W Television. My guess is the trend in increasing colur, size & density will continue.

Need a little help with my Verizon S4 Hyperdrive setup....current running KK NC5 with Hyperdrive RLS 18.0. Installation was difficult at first, however, managed to get everything together and runs well.

First, after the new installation, the phone boots with Safestrap 3.72 running, but I don't an app icon...do i simply reinstall the apk (saved on my SD card)?

Also, I received a notification yesterday for the RLS 18.1 ota update....can I simply press the notification and let it run or will I have to reinstall/set up everything again?

Thanks to all who will help me out....

[LG Optimus G (International)] palomatE:
Dear,

I have been on forums for a while with my wakelock issue. msm_hsic_host and com.android.internal.telephony.ACTION_CHECK_NETSTAT, but I have not found any solutions.

Things that I tried so far:

- Different official ROMs

- ARTMOD

- disabling fast dormancy

- terminating NlpCollectorWakeLock with wakelock terminator under xposed, re-enabling it, and

- modify Nlp bouncing to 3600

- uninstalling fb app and messenger

- disabled LG apps

- removed google play services updates

The increased battery drain is only up when on 3G (I have no 4G/LTE subscription)

I am definetely want to use LG's official firmware...

What kernel, rom, and settings do you recommend to use?

Please help me to fix that :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] jollaman999:

I am running mahdi 0823 all else stock

Seem to be having issues with Google maps. Sometimes it locks on, but then loses GPS signal very often. Or it won't lock on at all.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Puff3r:
Until two hours ago my I747 was running fine. I picked it up and attempted to unlock it and got nothing. I decided to try to pull the battery and do a reboot, it got to the KT747 splash screen from the kernel I run and went black. I tried booting into recover and download mode. Recovery mode gives me the little blue text at the top left of the screen indicating its booting to recover, black screen and nothing. Download mode pops the warning screen and 2 seconds later, whether I press up to continue or not, it goes black screen as well. I was running a rooted version of TW 4.4.2 with the TW version of Ktoonsez most recent kernel. I have been running this combination for over a week with no issues. I tried creating a 16gb debrick sd card but the phone doesn't want to stay on long enough to boot to anything. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If there is any other information I can provide, please let me know and I will add it.

****edit for more info*****

I tried having odin open on the pc while i booted into download mode. Removed battery and usb cable from the phone, inserted battery while holding vol down and home. Download mode came up, pressed up to enter and quickly inserted the USB cable. Odin detected the phone and one second later shows it was removed. I have tried multiple USB cables as well.

****edit for still more info****

After several hours of cussing and google searching I came across a thread that described my issue perfectly. The solution turned out to be a stuck power button on the phone. Just like my phone, the one in the thread would boot immediately when the battery was inserted and shut off at the splash screen. Recovery and download mode both did the same, as does my phone. The site suggested rapidly tapping the power button to jar it loose. This did not work for me. Neither did the suggestion of sliding a finger nail into the gap between the chassis and power button. I went so far as to disassemble the phone and remove the physical button from the case. I put the battery back in and the phone booted immediately. The problem persists, the phone shuts off completely after a 2 - 3 seconds. This occurs with the battery in or with the battery out on USB power.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Sometimes messing around with the power button will work, but not always. Its only a temporary solution in most cases anyway.

The switch appears to have gone bad and will need to be replaced. I believe the part is only a few bucks if you want to DIY. Otherwise most local cell phone shops can do the repair relatively cheap from what ive been told.

Hello!

I am trying to find a way that I can only communicate over wifi with the adb on my device. So that for example if someone plugs in an USB cable to his pc, he should not be able to see my device as adb device. The only way to do something with adb should be over wify.

Is there any way to do that, or is the usb adb always on if adb is activated ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxyA325G:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] nikssims:
I am trying to decide between what screen protector should i buy. As my budget is very limited, i have to take this matter very seriously. I brought a pack of 5 screen protectors a while ago for my nexus 5, for just 2.50 euros.

They did their job well, clarity of them was not the best but usable, they protected the screen from scratches, though installation of them on my screen was pain in the ass. I used only 2 from the pack of 5 because the other 3 were wasted in the installation process. Huge bubbles underneath that were impossible to push out afterwards, thus making the screen unusable.

Next time i sent the same pack again for the same price, but the seller sent me completely different screen protectors, that were impossible to see through and had no glue at all how to stick them on screen. Basically ripoff. Still have them, if someone wants a pic just ask.

So now i am using a screen protector that came with Spigen case for more than month, might be even 2 months, and the screen protector is just littered with scratches, so i need a replacement fast. As i don't want to get ripped off by another cheating seller, i decided to buy one or two glass protectors. I found this one LINK

Is that one good for a glass protector?

As far as i looked, the plastic screen protector price ranges from less than 1 euro to 5 or so euros. But glass protector price ranges from 5 euros to even up to 50 euros. So should i buy expensive plastic or cheap glass?

Also, is installation more reliable for glass protectors? I don't want to wait for 3 weeks for one screen protector, and in the end have to struggle with installation, possibly wasting the money and time.

And if anybody knows, will eBay ship faster from England to Eastern Europe, than from China to Eastern Europe?

Hope this helps.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] nikssims:

And shipping time from Great Britain to Eastern Europe is around 10 days, at-least it says so in eBay, if anybody wants to know.

I will most likely post how it went and everything about it as soon as it comes.

If you want you can keep discussing screen protectors here.

I just canceled the purchase because it for some reason needs some kind of soap solution for installation. I don't want to mess my phone with soap and water. I will look at the links you sent and i will most likely purchase one of those or both, until i get my money back i cant yet tell anything

Hey,

Is there a way to install a custom kernel (all of which I've seen are based on 9505) or a custom 9505 based rom on our i337m without losing LTE? Note that I've never installed other modem.bin files so I'm using my device's stock modem. Also, my carrier's LTE bandwidth is 1900 Mhz which is supported by i337m devices but not by 9505 devices -from what I have been able to find.

Every time I flash custom kernels or roms I lose LTE, everything else works perfectly well.

I've also tried using an Android Kitchen to modify my stock kernel and at least provide it with init.d support but when I flash on my device it won't finish booting up.

Thanks a lot in advance for any tip/help.
