[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikachukaki:
I didnt get that too comming from nexus 5 i was expection great dev support for G3 as i consider it the best smartphone specially compare to Lagsung devices...but most of android users see only benchmarks so they go and buy that plastic piece of awfulness....but G3 has a great support..its better to have little and good rather than have 30 same kernels like it was on N5 community...the only thing i can't get is why at least CM isn't official supported!!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrettstump:
i agree with both of the posts here and to really answer the first question, there is nothing that i specifically want developed i just was kinda confused as to why the forums are not filled with roms and kernals but you made a good point about saying quality over quantity.. I do really enjoy this phone and consider it the top of the line right now but we will see......
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahkam:
Honestly we have a fair amount of roms at this stage and it will only get better and better but as far as kernels goes I'd wish to see some more with overclocking/undervolting/profiles features in them ..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manemzjum:
Ive had the phone for a month or so now and while the design specs etc are top notch

The performance is not

I find it to be slow and laggy especially the stock messaging app (i know i can use an alternative)

I have the 16gb version and it always seems to be using 88-90% ram at all times with very minimal apps in use

Cant see it being the fact i have the 2gb ram version as previous phones with 2gb ram have performed much better.

Considering getting rid for anther device

^^

Agree fully, had my g3 for just over a week. Bought it from amazon so I have a month to decide.

Phone is terrible for lag, battery usage is woeful.

Perhaps my expectations were too high.

Won't go back to Samsung. Knox has ruined that.

The Moto G Play looks fantastic but no European release.

HTC is speculated to have fantastic new models.

Think the G3 might find itself replaced in the New Year

As a person coming from Samsung S2, S3, Note 3, I can say that Lg is doing a great job with the G2/G3 stock software! Way better than Samsung! Yes you'll find fingerprint features and some other useless bells and whistles, but LG software is solid, almost lag free, and battery life is king!

During my lifetime with Samsung, I spent most of my time cheating its software with Cyanogenmod.

So, would I be sad to not have the same amount of support on S5? Definitely no! I think what we have is valuable and I haven't felt yet that I need to run away to CM11/12.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nc35:
Just comparing to my Note 3, with stock FW but apex launcher.

Battery would last in excess of a day with quite heavy use, games Internet browsing etc. BT always on auto brightness.

Apps would also open instantly or as expected.

The G3 can has a battery life of less than 4hrs with little or no use. Consumes 18-19% in 7hrs overnight.

Finding myself charging the phone at every opportunity.

I know the Note 3 didn't come with qi, but the qi on the G3 is sooo picky. 1mm off and it doesn't charge.

Using stock launcher just pressing home, first the wallpaper loads followed by the icons then the widgets. No what would be called snappy.

And OMG does it get hot!!! For no reason at all. Not playing games, just emails and Web browsing.

So now I am left wondering if the phone is faulty.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00280:
I have both "issues".

"poor" is g3's screen-on time on 5.0 while browsing using 4g. 5-5:30 hours on latest firmwares isn't much. It was nearly 7 hours on 4.4.2... I always set brightness to 20% auto, lighting conditions are always same.

I use phone for browsing and listening to locally stored music via Bluetooth. No watching or shooting videos or playing games.

After 5 hours of 4g web browsing i am left with empty battery.

Lag:

I define lag as "animation stuttering". I am seeing it everywhere: Vkontakte, Google Play Store, while opening drawer, switching tasks, etc... It lags often, but not always.

I have 47 user apps installed, 0 additional system apps.

The only apps that keep background services or use alarms are: Aqua mail, LMT, SBH52 smart headset, Titanium backup.

There are 4 apps using GCM for push.

There are 6 accounts (Google, Shazam, Skype, VK, tutu.ru and one money app) at sync section.

And i have got 5.4 gb free out of 25 on intsd. Shouldn't slow down writing much.

A perfect setup, right? But it still lags on official firmware.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
I would assume you aren't running anything like Greenify, etc. What it sounds like is there are a lot of wake locks going on. That's where Greenify comes in. I also turn off a lot of syncs as I don't need them. As you can see with my screenshot, 60% is where I was at after 21 hours so thus phone can definitely get good battery life. But, if you do a lot of stuff for hours, no phone can keep it's battery life for long. Also, with the quad hd screen this phone has, that is a big drain, but even then, I'm getting great battery life.

Another thing with going to 5.0, it's best to start fresh. Do a factory data reset and start from scratch. Going from 4.x to 5.0, especially with Lollipop, had a lot of changes underneath the hood. There are others getting better or the same battery life, but i also think it all depends on usage.

I dont know with other guys here.but i am very happy with the lg g3 forums
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hack14u:
I already dumped mine at a huge loss. I would say worst phone ever, but that goes to my first Android, the Moto Backflip. Thank goodness my other phone is a M8.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manemzjum:
Battery is kinda the only area i don't really have a problem with the phone its not the best but its not the worst

As someone has previously said i also came from a note 3 which in performance blows the G3 out of the water snappy and quick with no lag and instant app openings

Greenify shouldn't be something you should need to do to get rid of lag on a quad core 2.5ghz device with 2GB of ram

Out of the box the thing uses 88% ram considering the actual ROM itself is like 1.6gb just HOW is that possible if the entire contents of the ROM was loaded it into RAM should still only use 76%

Its a high end high spec device extremely poorly calibrated i have an old galaxy S3 that out performs it

To say im bitterly disappointed with this device is an understatement
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schumi_wk:
Only thing i'm having problems with is the fact that the ram is always overload. Used titanium to remove and freeze alot of stuff but still the ram usage is about 1.3 to 1.6gb.

This is on stock rom which is very good to me with no lag and everything an launcher needs.

Battery life from the G3 is very good, on my previous phone I was affraid to leave the house if the battery wasn't filled to 100% with the G3 i left yesterday at 62% and returned from work with still 46% (off course with no heavy use) while my data is always on.

Conclusion for me after a month of use, good value for the money.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Greenify isn't for lag. It's for battery life.

Again, each to his own. I think it all depends on the perception of the user and what they expect and what they've gotten in the past from other phones.

Form me, this phone blows the RAZR MAXX and RAZR HD out of the water, which is what I came from and I get great battery life (well over 36 hours) before I have to recharge. And even then, at 40%, I probably could go another 12 hours but I choose not to.

Just last night, before I went to bed, the phone was at 100%. When I woke up 6 hours later, it went down only 2%, so I had 98% battery left. I've since used it to check email, read the news, played about 45 minutes of Game of War and did some updates via Google Play and I'm at 90%. That's after 9 hours since I last charged. I'd say those are pretty darn good stats for me.

Again, mileage may vary from user to user and what they expect. And from the responses I'm seeing, that's what I'm gathering. Some are saying the phone is great, others say it's okay, and others say it's awful coming from another phone. So, that definitely shows that it's all in the eye of the beholder.

But I appreciate what everyone has posted. It does appear that some who didn't like this phone have been able to find a phone that works great for them. I always try to state why a phone works great "for me" because that's what it is. It's not necessarily going to work great for someone else, but I also don't want to steer someone towards this phone if it doesn't meet their needs, so I try to explain why and how it works for me as I'm the user of this phone, and everyone else might use it differently.

Ciao!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maikeru-chan:
I don't get why a lot of people are complaining about lag and support and s*** like that.

You are getting lag probably because:

(A) You don't know how to use your phone.

(B) You picked up the 16GB model (which only has 2GB RAM

(C) You're not rooted (seriously, who doesn't root their phones nowadays)

When I got this phone, I didn't have it rooted for a month. Everything was smooth despite having a lot of apps installed. It only became a lag machine when I installed Facebook and its Messenger app.

Yes there are lags from time to time, but do iPhones not lag? Of course they do, all phones do. I don't see all you guys' point.

A good phone doesn't need any sort of custom ROM and kernel, etc etc. Mine has always been on Stock ROM and Kernel, minimal lag. iPhone-like smoothness, I must say (but plus good multitasking. iOS multitasking is s***) In fact, when I upgraded to Android 5.0, it got even better.

I have stayed stock most of the time but I always have Greenify installed, (but battery life was still great before rooting and installing Greenify)

You people are just picky.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Not sure why people are seeing 18%+ drop in battery overnight in standby mode. Must either have a lot of synching going on or a misbehaving app or two.

Me, when I'm at home, WiFi is turned on. I have minimal syncing (apps, calendar, google+, photos).

Here is a screenshot I took this morning. When I first woke up, I was down to 98% overnight (was at 100% when I went to bed at midnight and when I woke at 6:30 am, it dropped only 2%).

At the time I took this screenshot, I had already read the news, did some updates, checked emails, and played about 30 minutes of Game of War and I was down to 94%. That seems like good battery life to me.

Of course, if you really want to improve the battery life of this phone, maybe you can go to Amazon and get this upgrade for the G3:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris0160:
I just picked up a Note 4 on Friday morning and i had my sdcard in my tablet since i had a Nexus 5 prior. Im currently on the bus and once i get home i still will not have access to a computer. I inserted my card into the note 4 while turned on. Nothing popped up. I goto storage, it says to insert card greyed out. So i look up YouTube videos to make sure I'm inserting correctly. I turn off the device take out the battery and the card, then replace and turn it back on still nothing. I searched the Q&A, but nothing like my issue. Should i return it or is this an SDcard issue?

Are you rooted. If so did you flash the as fix. See if rom you running has the fix built in. If not search it and flash it. You still gonna have to format card to phone before card is junk and you need new one. Don't be swapping it around unless you have already bought a new card.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetakerfan:
Grabbed a Moto X 2014 Pure from Motorola from the Cyber Monday sale. Got it on Thurs and activated online and set up a prepaid account with phone number transfer. Phone port was not completed until a little after midnight Sunday morning after repeated calls to TMo support. Paid the plan and set up auto pay, recieved confirmation around 8 AM Sunday that payment was received and credited to account. I am still unable to connect to data services. Have spoken to support via live chat for about an hour, and technical support on the phone for another hour, still nothing. At first it showed Edge (E with exclamation signal icon) and I was able to connect, albeit slowly (less than 100KB according to FCC speed test). After all the troubleshooting with support now I dont even get that (icon is the same, but no connection at all). They had me verify, reset, then manually create new APN. Ensure TMo is selected as network. still can't connect. Support has escalated to engineering but before I wasted more time with TMo support, wanted to see if anyone here has any ideas or has dealt with anything similar in the past?

Edit: Disregard, when I went out to dinner I figured I'd take the phone to see if it really was just my specific area having an issue. Once I got a few blocks away I connected to LTE. Speeds were "only" around 10 Mbps down, but better than nothing (or Edge, which is basically the same lol) despite the fact that both the online map and two reps stated my location was in "excellent coverage". Don't see an option to delete the thread but it can be ignored.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr546jmn5:
Here is the log of my chat with an AT&T rep:

http://pastebin.com/QU2BU09L

My wife gets texts from co-workers/friends which are mostly not on att, but cannot send to my line or my mom's line (she's on the same account too)

I should mention, this phone worked perfectly well until a recent Google Play services update which affected some devices by disabiling audio on incoming/outgoing calls. The solution that I found to work for this Nexus 4 was to disable the "Checkinservice" service from the Play framework which seems to have correct the call audio issue - so then I thought maybe its now affecting texts and re-enabled the service, no luck on texts but it's also not affecting calls anymore with the service on.

I have googled around a lot, but most similar issues involved people not being able to text at all.

Also, I should perhaps note that I have wiped all the partitions and re-installed CyanogenMod from scratch twice now and still the same thing. It's been on CM for a good year + with no issues at all until recently. Besides the chat with at&t I called as well, the person on the phone seemed even less knowledgeable than the online gal.

sounds like your local providers issue today. 1. you are connected to verizon. 2, you are receiving data. so your connection is actually fine. the issue is with your local data speeds. try calling your provider and asking them whats up, if it is not the way your network is normally. they could just be having an issue today.

here is my story.

i've been flashing this device(S4 i-9500) hundred of time and never get this imei problem and i didn't backup my efs folder until i realised how important it is.So i've this imei problem for 3 month now.i stopped searching because can't find a thing that work for me after 7 days and night trying to solve this problem.I have the original imei on my back of the phone and it is the same one before this device have generic 0499 imei. QPST tool didn't work for me because it is for qualcom chipset and i can't find tools for exynos chipset until now.

it's so funny because my device is bricked and unbootable so many times and i can solve that easily but can't solve this problem until now. i've buy new device because i need to use it for my work, I'll love to see my S4 is working again rather than use it just for playing games on it.

if anyone have information and ever solve this problem and it is illegal please use private message.
