[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
The only reason why I didn't get the m8 is because of the poor after sales service and qc of htc. I had two m7s prior and they both had issues.

The s5 is a great phone but I'm not too happy about its fluidity. It always feels it's one step behind your actions. Like a home button press or an app switch would have one second delay. How would you rate the g3 vs the m8 based on fluidity? Almost at 80 percent?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahapederdon:
Speed wise the phones are about the same. I used the backup I had from the m8 and using Nova launcher. So the setup looks about the same as the m8 and it acts just as well. Just bigger screen and way better camera. And I did the volume hack. This thing is way louder than my m8. Not the the quality is that great but it's a phone. If you want good sound use headphones or a stereo.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlxcrossing:
I've never favored Samsung or Apple, always HTC but going from the DNA to the M8 wasn't a worthwhile upgrade to me. HTC has bogged down the Android experience a little too much for me in the last couple years. I went for the G3 because of its sexiness and big screen and what I thought was going to be performance but have experienced a tremendous amount of grief on that front. I won't trade up my G3 just yet but I'm getting to the point where its a viable option and I may consider clone phones like a galaxy. I want fast and fluid and the G3 is just not as responsive as it should be.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhooka:
Have you switched to the ART runtime? I did that before installing any apps and my phone is lightning fast. I have yet to experience any of the lag people keep claiming this phone has.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlxcrossing:
No I haven't, all I've heard is that android L will have art and I've used it once on a ROM for my DNA. I don't know the process of switching, only that I will lose xposed modules. How do I go about this?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarimoMusicHead:
Just head over into Developer options->Select runtime->Use ART.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhooka:
Don't forget to enable developer options first. IIRC you have to tap the build number 7 times in about phone.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlxcrossing:
I enabled ART and rebooted but its still set to Dalvik.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhooka:
Try again. You'll see it preparing apps during boot if it worked. Takes a while.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlxcrossing:
Didn't work...perhaps I need to uninstall xposed?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkaknio:
Exactly, you must disable/uninstall Xposed to use ART, otherwise Xposed will switch back to Dalvik
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlxcrossing:
I uninstalled xposed, noticed all my tweaks revert to stock but still Dalvik is showing in Developer Options
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Trying it now. So the only reason we are not on art yet is app compatibility for all phones?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AHMAD YOUSIF:
G3 and htc m8 the best for this year

Don't wait to swap

G3 better than s5
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Oh man art screwed up the s5 lol I have to revert back
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBuzman:
I would probably swap my g3 (32g unlocked) for s5 (would prefer m8 or z3 swap).

Battey life disappointing, locked bootloader and constant "system has dimmed your screen due to overheating" messages etc do you leave you disappointed with "the best phone of 2014"
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Is it really that bad? Some people are not having a single issue while others are just bogged down with problems
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBuzman:
Firmware updates have improved it to be fair. Light use it is fantastic, heavy use it gets really hot, chews battery and dims display (mine anyway). Have tweaked it (xposed, coolify, tasker etc) which helps.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------

But still.. Flagship phone shouldnt have work arounds to make it usable :) (bootloader frustrating too). I bought it without researching fully when oppo find 7 order fall through and I had to pick another device on the spot (so to speak)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jake.99x3:
The M8 has great battery life if your willing to fork over the money for it. Great ROM selection as well.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Are the speakers muffled like the s5? I know they're loud but the quality could be better
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jake.99x3:
Have you considered using a ROM such as an aosp or gpe solution. That generally gives most people a speed boost.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBuzman:
Speaker (mono not stereo) is good and is 1db amp driven I think, but it is also on back of phone not front. Sound though headphones very good too (but that may just be my new $250 earbuds)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
I'm about to pull the trigger but there are still tons of negative stuff to read about the g3 lol. Have issues like wifi dropping, freezes, text lag or delays been sorted out? Has LG been aggressive in rolling out updates?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Unless the g3 has a dac , they should sound the same as the s5 and the one m8 because they're relying on the same processor for audio output. I've read in the forums about some audiophile guy getting upset over the g3 output quality lol
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBuzman:
Good point, if all same processors then I'd be impressed by all 3 (having onky sampled g3). Rarely do two audiophiles agree so depends on whether its someone's opinion you trust ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
The s5 is pretty good as well when it comes to that. That Samsung music player however sucks big time.

someone posted this:

Sound

+Loud enough for small/medium sized room

+High volume does not create excessive amount of distortion

-Auxiliary Cable does not work properly

-Lacks sound separation

-No bass
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Decided not to get the g3 for now because of the auxiliary jack issues which is quite prevalent :(

I listen to a lot of music everyday so it's very important I dont have problems with the jack. Any of you guys experiencing this?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProdByEchelon:
The G3 UI is almost identical to TouchWiz. They copied a lot of TouchWiz's elements such as the features, notification drawer and settings but part of the reason is because the people that make TouchWiz, make LG's UI so with lag, i don't think you'll better the S5 unless you go to MyMagazine.

With battery life, you will never touch the S5 with that phone. It's 2K screens drains more and doesn't have Ultra Power Saving mode and actually, this is the first time i hear/read someone complain about the S5 battery ? but at the end of this all, it's personal preference because I'm a Samsung fan boy and could be very biased but this is my 2 cents worth.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
I've been spoiled with the battery life of the note 3 lol but this s5 gets me through the day but nothing more than that.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProdByEchelon:
Get a Note 4! I currently own a Note 2 so for me it will be a huge leap
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
I plan to actually. But not anytime soon because the note 4 will cost an arm and a leg. It's insane how Samsung is charging customers for the note line. Apple is rumored to be pricing the larger iPhone upwards of 700 dollars for the base model
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProdByEchelon:
$700? That's cheaper than the Note 4 ? Oh times have really changed!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uae_camel:
I prefer g3 over s5 , even found the battery to be better
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homer285:
I had S5 and felt it lagged far worse than G3, S5 wake button lag was infuriating sometimes I'd press power and nothing would happen only then to quickly press again turning off the display before it had time to turn on thinking I hadnt pressed hard enough, gasps. :eek:

I doubt you will regret the G3 but thats only my opinion.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Is the aux problem exaggerated?? Is it something all units have? Because I've asked around and most people have not had that problem
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Protagoras:
I do have this problem and it's the only one I have. It's a bit annoying when trying to play your music in a car.

I never had any of the other issues people are mentioning, like overheating, random reboots, lag, headphones problems, short battery life.

Out of the box I was not impressed with the UI and the lag, but switching to TweaksBox and Nova Launcher, and enabling Trickster mods and developer options (scaling animations 0.5) made everything butter smooth. I'm still waiting for AOSP but it's not as important now, I'm quite pleased with the way it looks and works.

The G3 is simply put the best phone I had ever have. Hands down.

No way I'll switch for anything until tech has really evolved.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Thank you for your input. Unfortunately that will be a deal breaker for me because I'm in the car very often with my auxiliary jack plugged in.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alesa1988:
An 8 year old has a better phone than me.... .... ..... Am I too old to be adopted already? Lol
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Protagoras:
It looks like it's only a software problem, so likely to be fixed in OTA updates or custom rom when available...

I haven't looked in details as it's not so important to me, maybe there are threads dedicated to this problem?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Yep I've seen two threads about this. So far there's no indication that it's software and subsequent updates have not been consistent for all units affected.

I don't think a lot of people realize they have that issue because only a few people use aux cables.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBuzman:
Lol.. My 10yo son just said to me "dad, your phone turned off when I was using it" - I asked what happened / details and he replied "said simething about too hot, went dimmer, then 30 seconds later turned off..". When I asked him what he was doing (I was making us dinner) he said "generating fractals that look like landscapes".. hehe ~ yes my son is a geek. Back OT, this seemed a timely/topical example of it being tripped up heat wise after 15mins of hard work.

(Annoying because I have to tether boot to keep custom kernel settings)

I will have to say, I keep using all battery and heating it up so much due to not being able to put the thing down..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchasa:
For aux problem, plug in charger first, start car then plug in aux cable.

If caller can't hear you in a call, press loudspeaker on and then off. Fixed. Clear calls for both parties.

Its a fix until update comes.

All in all it's a fantastic phone. I had the choice with S5, M8, Z2 and G3.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big70tom:
As much as I love this G3, honestly the best phone I've ever had, it has one fatal flaw. Battery. I was worried when they announced this phone, with this had, and had not increased the battery size that this would happen, but everyone said the 801 made it work....bull. I've had my g3 a month. Battery sucks. I'm a HEAVY user though, but my G2 would make it 3 hours longer a day. I've bought another battery and am dealing with it, but it sucks
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BassBlaster:
1080p/high PPI 720p on my flagships, please. Anything higher is simply overkill and gimmick. There is barely a difference in screen sharpness between my 720p N4 and the 1080p S4, and using the G3 in a store I saw no difference of sharpness from the S5/S4's screen. If I had a choice of these two flagships, I would pick the S5 mainly because of the beautiful amoled screen, even though the bandaid design is butt ugly and the G3 looks ages sexier.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njshoregurlz:
[emoji173]️I would take the lgg3
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg420:
G3 over s5. Battery life was incredible for having a qhd resolution (nearly as good as m8) Also everyone will tell you qhd res is barely noticeable but I beg to differ. Its just a gorgeous display, good color accuracy and very bright. If you have 20/20 vision or better it makes a big difference. In the end I traded my g3 for a HTC m8 because the screen was a little big for my taste plus I couldn't live without the amazing audio quality on the m8.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahapederdon:
He is stoked. It was my only excuse to buy this phone so I took it. Lol
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhon998:
Z2 for me has the best diplay true to life colours, i would pick it over an amoled or ips lcd...

Lg g3 is by far the best phone out right now. Until the htc devices get a real camera not even a option. Who cares about low light pictures use a damn flash. Zoomed in the pictures look like **** nice device but the camera killed it. People with the device won't think nothing wrong with the camera until they use a Samsung or lg phone. Anyways I did like older htc phones but trade that s5 man. I had the lg g2 running that lg g3 rom and it was nice wish I kept that phone because the note 3 is getting old on me. The lg g2 just felt good

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newstar:
I sold my m8 and bought g3, no doubt m8 was great due to development and free switch between Sence and GPE but on other hand G3 is great
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Is the g3 better when it comes to battery? And which one has the louder speaker?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newstar:
HTC has best sound two stereo speakers, while g3 has single mono, if we talk on quality of sound then off course m8 has better sound, while i feel g3 has better battery
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Definitely the m8 on quality, but what about loudness?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newstar:
Almost equal, g3 is little more louder
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BassMaster90:
You think so? My G3 can't touch the M8's loudness and sound quality. My Fiance has the M8, its a dream to listen to.

Hi developers,

May be you think that this is a wiered topic to post here, but it is certainly important for most of developers, especially those who aim to target the PPC market and don't know the feasibility of this market.

Personally, I am about to graduate from the Computer Engineering dept, and I am mainly interested in programming especially c++, most students in my age look to work for companies in the country but I see that it is not so much feasible compared to the international market, for example, here in my country (Jordan) the work is 10 hours/day and 6days/week while the salary is ($500 - $ 600) monthly which is not much for a computer engineer.

So I decided to try the market of PPC (as many other programmers aim to), and I need some light about the market.

Any body had experience in this market? do you have a product (large or small) for sale? how much do you gain from your product (monthly)? how many copies of software do you sell? and for how much $ do you sell each copy?

and let's look at some companies in the market like Resco, Spb and SBSH and maybe others.. how do approximate their monthly sales for each program for the above three criteria (copies/month, $ per copy, total $ per month)?

for example:

Resco Photo Viewer:

Copies/Month: 1000

$ per copy: $15

Monthly $: $15000

Hope will help us here guys and business men :)

Regards and good luck for all,

Mohammad
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Lurker0:
AFAIK writing shareware either a hobby that allows to justify buying new toys somehow, or to create a portfolio to win special orders, from operators or companies that need custom software. Only a few PPC software writers sell enough to live from it.

Note, that customer support requires a lot of efforts. In PPC world it also require to have either a lot of devices to test on, or a number of loyal betatesters.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mohgdeisat:
Well, that seems to be bad news.

Any good news guys?

Any one sells enough? what about donations? are they satisfying?

Let us know guys, the issue is mportant and interesting :)

Hey guys,

I don't know if this has been asked already, and if it has I apologize for that, but judging by the title you can already assume what issue I have. When I connect my Galaxy S4 i337 to my laptop running Windows 8.1 (I'm not sure if it's RT or not), it keeps saying that my USB device is not recognized. I've tried:

- uninstalling the Samsung drivers then reinstalling them

- uninstalling Kies and drivers, then reinstalling Kies to see if it would recognize and automatically download the drivers

- completely turning off my laptop, removing the battery for 3 minutes

- different USB ports (all 3)

- connect it to the computer with USB debugging on and off

Can anyone help?

Hi All,

Looking for some assistance please; I'm planning to trade-in my HTC One for an upgrade to a HTC One M8 most probably. Retailer is happy to accept the phone with a custom rom on it, so it saves me the bother of returning fully to stock. Got latest ARHD rom onboard but still S-On and original firmware.

Want to free up as much of the Internal Storage/SD Card as possible before handing it over (we got them with 25Gb available out of the 32Gb didn't we), but afraid to hit factory reset in recovery in case it clears the entire storage including recovery files/partition etc and rom image etc, and therefore wont reboot properly.

What's the cleanest and safest way to maximize available space without losing key data/files please? All thoughts welcomed/gratefully received!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
in your custom recovery choose wipe / and check everything but system ... that will wipe everything and the phone will still bootup and work fine
