Thanks for the link, but I know what I did to get it to work a few days ago. I tried the direct update to 1.50.652.3 when I had my phone unlocked and rooted, but it failed multiple times while running cwm, twrp and the stock bootloader. The update leaves a zip file in the download directory when it fails. I then tried the ruu update file directly from HTC's site. When it failed I clearly got a security error. This to me means the bootloader needs to be relocked, but I guess you can try only un-rooting.

I'm after a tiny mobile phone, I don't really want it to do any more than send/recieve calls and texts and hold an address book and it doesn't need to be a new model or anything.

I've tried googling, but all I come up with are expensive concepts or peopel trying to sell my phones.

I had a friend who had a tiny phone that did absolutely nothing, other than make calls and send texts using the sim card memory, this was a few years ago and I have no idea who made it or anything. It was a clam shell phone with an extrenal aerial.

If anyone knows what that phone was, or knows any make/models that are very small then please shout up!

Inj case your'e wodering, I want a tiny phone to forward calls and sms to when i go out, rather than taking my Hermes with me. Cheers.

This is personally the best phone I've ever owned. When I got my taxes back, I considered picking up the Nexus 6 but when the time came I decided I couldn't abandon this baby. I put all my faith in LG and took the plunge on the G2 and man, I'm glad I did! LG customer for life!
[Verizon LG G3] Khiraji:
Right there with you, I adore this phone. It does everything I could possibly want with a smartphone, I can hammer away at it all day and the battery holds up, and most importantly it's enjoyable to use. I only realized after I got my G3 how much my old phone annoyed me and how I'd made excuses for all the dumb things it did... night and day aren't different enough to describe the transition!
[Verizon LG G3] Fuse8499:
I love LG's UI and the knock knock feature. They've absolutely redeemed themselves.
[Verizon LG G3] geoff5093:
I love how the screen size is 5.5", yet smaller than phones with even smaller screens thanks to the incredibly small bezels. The only thing I don't really care for is the quality of the display. QHD is just not needed, it kills the battery when using the screen and hurts performance a tad, I'd be perfectly happy with 1080p. The colors are also muted and off, causing most photos to look more depressing than other phones unless you always use 100% brightness.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
This is by far the best Android phone I've had yet. Awesome performance, great battery life, just overall, excellent quality. Would purchase it again if I had to do it all over.

Here's what I've owned since going to a smartphone:

LG Vortex

Motorola Droid X2

Motorola Droid RAZR

Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX

Motorola Droid RAZR HD

This is my 6th Android phone and aside from my Droid RAZR HD (which I was able to actually unlock the bootloader before they patched the exploit), this is the best phone yet. Aside from the fact that the bootloader was unlocked (which guaranteed I'd have root forever), the G3's performance and stability out of the box is bar none the best I've seen yet from an Android phone.
[Verizon LG G3] tech_head:
Best smartphone for me so far.

Samsung WM Phone, Treo 700w, Blackberry Storm, BB Storm II, DroidX, Droid Bionic, Droid Razr, Droid Razr Maxx, Droid Razr HD, Samsung, Samsung Galaxy S4, now LG G3.
[Verizon LG G3] daniel4653:
HTC hero, LG rumor, Blackberry 8330, Blackberry 9630, Galaxy S2,GS3, iPhone 4S, GS4,1+1, S5, LG G3, and back to a GS4.

G3 is a good phone the feel and exterior look of the phone are awesome. The one thing I didnt like was the stock G3 development. There are plenty of Lollipop AOSP roms.
[Verizon LG G3] Fuse8499:
I had a verizon rep tried to talk me into waiting for the iPhone 6, LOL. I ended up selling my buddy my G2 for $150. It was in perfect condition and he ended up falling in love with LG too. If it weren't for LG, I'd probably be a Note 4 or Nexus 6 user right now. Both of which I'd probably be happy with but the G3 is my baby. And I agree with the guy who made the comment about the screen size being big and the phone being smaller than others with the same screen size. I can one hand this device. Whenever I pick up my mother's Note 2, I feel like I'm holding a brick compared to this phone.
[Verizon LG G3] jaydiez10:
I truly enjoy this phone. I needed somewhere to go when BlackBerry, Motorola & Samsung let me down, & LG gave me the proper route. I love the QHD screen but just wish they didn't rush the technology. I really enjoy the UI. Over the last few years, I felt the need for ROMs & drastic changes. That's not the case with this phone. I only had a few tweaks. Overall, this is one of my favorite devices. I look forward to the Lollipop update & the LG G4 truly being a better version of this phone.
[Verizon LG G3] drrasii:
Only had it for a few days, but definitely happy. Wanted the largest possible screen in the smallest for factor. This fits the bill. Was easy enough to roll back to 10b, root and install TWRP...now back on 12b rooted and it's doing everything I want it to thus far. If we can keep root on LP by flashing the stock ROM I'll be doing it.

My history to compare it to:

1. Droid X

2. Galaxy Nexus (worst verizon screw up ever...radios)

3. GS3

4. GS4

5. Droid MAXX

6. One M8 (good phone but subpar camera)
[Verizon LG G3] in_dmand:
I just picked up the G3 from ebay, lightly used. I love almost everything about it except that I am experiencing touch screen sensitivity issues w/ tempered glass on (which I am getting ready to remove).

I am coming from a G2 and the funny thing is that my G2 runs faster than this G3 does... is this normal? Now I will give you the fact that I am running a custom rom on my G2 and stock on my G3 but still. it's nothing bad, but it does lag slightly. Is a custom ROM needed on my G3 to smooth things up? Note that I did already enable developer mode and turned off the animation time to make it faster. I also am running Solo launcher w/ the ultra fast mode on both phones.

So far I am considering, sadly, to keep my G2 instead... thoughts?
[Verizon LG G3] wwevoxnj:
Changing the Rom has greatly increase the speed of the phone, completely different phone now. If you want to keep a stock based Rom with a little aosp check out eclipse Rom with skydragon kernel.
[Verizon LG G3] sidewinder_x5:
well i suppose anything is amazing compared to the DINC i was using ;)

honestly though, i was planning on getting the note 3 off of amazon or via best buy. the day before i wanted to get it, it went up in price. I'm sure it was fate, cause i know i wouldn't have been anywhere near as happy with the N3 than i am with the G3 now. its heaven.

fast

smooth

long battery

amazing camera

great screen

'unlockable' BL

and it feels damn good in the hand to boot.

oh yeah, it was free* too :good:

*excluding tax, BS 'upgrade fee', etc. but that's not the phones fault
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
Yeah the tempered glass screen is a waste. I had it and it got lose and an air bubble got in, and wrecked the whole thing. Put a regular screen protector on; I've knocked my phone against a wall in my room a couple of times (from off the bed) and its been fine.

Number Two Phone

I would consider the G3 my number two compared to the Galaxy S3. I spent two years abusing working with the S3, went to town with different ROMs, took a great number of pictures with it ... and it holds the number one spot for me. It was rock solid for everything I did to it.

The LG G3 gave me trouble within a month with call quality. Months later, the wonky USB port drained my battery from 39% to zero after charging overnight. I seriously thought the phone fried/died and that I would need to replace it with something ASAP (need it for work). Luckily, the phone turned on with a spare battery.

What's great about the G3 is the camera, the gorgeous screen and faster processor. Stock is better on the G3 compared to Galaxy S3's TouchWiz, so I'm happy with it.

I've had no issues with Noot's tempered glass screen protector. It certainly makes the phone's screen look good. I have a thin TPU case and it holds the glass on pretty well. I can also remove the case without disturbing the glass. My only complaint is the serious reflectiveness of it since I came from an anti-glare screen protector. It is virtually impossible to see the screen in daylight when using the phone for navigation in the car.
[Verizon LG G3] Fuse8499:
Yeah the stock Verizon rom definitely lags. But once you install a good custom rom, this baby flies! Especially on Lollipop!
[Verizon LG G3] Neurom707:
Love my G3 best phone ive had hands down
[Verizon LG G3] ngerber999:
I absolutely love my G3 and run nothing but stock. I personally have never noticed any of the lag others have reported, but everyone has different usage patterns and background services running. It runs a lot smoother than my Galaxy S4 (also stock) ever did.

G3 dropped the ball

In the past calendar year, I've had the G2, M8, and G3. My favorite of those three was the G2. It was a beautiful size with a beautiful screen. The phone had no lag (I was running custom ROMs: Cloudy, Clean Rom, and some AOSP base Roms). I would recommend that phone anyday. The only complaint i had with it was the lack of SD storage. The M8 was a great accidental phone. The camera was disappointing and ending up being the killing factor. I loved how strong development was on that phone. There was little delay from when I got the phone to when i started flashing.

And finally comes the G3. This phone felt rushed. I felt like it should have been released in October of last year instead of summer. The battery took a hit from the G2, the processing speed seemed to be worse, the screen wasn't as amazing. The camera was nice, but the front (selfie) camera was less than stellar (considering I was coming from the M8). I appreciated the removable battery and the external SD card. The last phone that had both of those features was the atrix 4g. The G3 cut too many corners and rushed too many things. I would recommend the G2 over it. It's cheaper and has very few flaws imo
[Verizon LG G3] krazy_smokezalot:
One of the few good spec phone with an unlocked boot loader I love it. I can flash aosp custom kernel I can't complain. That all I really need coming from a note 3 with safe strap I have more flexibility. But I do appreciate hashcode hard work into ss, other than that I'm happy with the LG G3!!!!
[Verizon LG G3] Jodiuh:
How exactly did you do this? I tried setting SuperSU to maintain, but the OTA would fail.

Also, I really wanted to like this phone, but the color compression, contrast, and viewing angles along w/ brightness just kill it for me. :(

GREAT camera though...coming from the joke that is the M8. :good:

[Verizon LG G3] findinghomer:
Only thing I am extremely displeased about, is the random hairline cracks that form in the bezel, near the ir or bottom mic. It's plagued the g2 and now the g3. Time to ditch the plastic housing if it can not be constructed durable.
[Verizon LG G3] DigitalMD:
So happy I may not change phones for the next 10 years!
[Verizon LG G3] nuke235:
So glad I found this phone by mistake.

I had a few requirements when I came from my Galaxy S3.

Good CPU, Average or better battery/camera, Size was a toss up. Most importantly root. Bump was just icing on the cake.

Initially I didn't care much for the rear buttons. Now I have grown to love them.

Screen on battery life is on par with other phones. But the standby time is phenomenal.

The IR blaster is great. Now I can control my TV/Reciever/XBMC box all from my phone.

The only thing I have come to be annoyed at is the slight amount of lag experienced when pressing the home button. My Galaxy S3 was snappier returning to the home screen. Then again my GS3 was on AOSP.

And at least with my MDR-v6's I can hear noise from the DAC when no audio is playing. Does not happen with other devices.

Overall I would say 8.5/10

Unless Motorola makes something really nice before my next upgrade I'm sticking with LG.

[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hi! For lag, I suggest the SkyDragon custom stock kernel in Verizon LG G3 Original Development. Try the version in the OP first - beware that boot will take longer, but that's normal. If for some reason the version in the OP doesn't work, or if the boot taking longer is a deal killer, try going back to an older v2.9.4 or so of that custom kernel.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Short answer: Very happy!

With root & bump it's just as good as any other phone, with the ability to crack flash AOSP nightlies or solid stock ROMs. Development is solid. The phone itself is great - snappy with a big beautiful screen and long lasting battery.

The only problem I have is that its design is a little too perfect. I hate even having my thin Diztronic case on it. The design feels great in my hand; so much so that as soon as I get home every night, the case comes off. I'm just too much of a klutz to keep it case-less when away from the house.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
I agree. It feels good as far as how it fits. However, I always felt it seemed slippery in my hands, and that made me nervous anytime I held the phone while carrying it somewhere. In fact, it got to the point where before I got out of the car, I'd put it in my shirt pocket (if I had one), or else, my coat pocket, and lastly, my pants pocket (briefly) until I got into the house or office and could put it down somewhere.

Once I got a Body Glove case for it, I felt better. I still put it in a pocket though. :silly:
[Verizon LG G3] sidewinder_x5:
thats odd. i hear people say it's so slippery all the time, yet i hold it in my hands when i go for a jog and i've never had it slip once *fingers crossed*
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
For me, it's the "feeling" of being slippery, not that it is slippery. It's probably psychological more than physical, but just that feeling of smoothness in my hands gives me the appearance that the phone will slip right out of my hands and so I tend to grab it really hard! :D

The case just gives me a sense of security and a feeling that it's not so slippery. I understand it really isn't slippery though.
[Verizon LG G3] cap1tal1sm:
Very very happy with G3. I went from the DNA to the HTC One (original, not M8) :cool: and I never flashed anything for them.

Only with the G3 did I start exploring the entire 3rd party software, and that's when I really started loving rooting and bootloading phones and messing around with them.

The back buttons on the G3 was a real getting used to, but after I acclimated myself to them it was great -- ambidextrous buttons that allow for further efficiency of form factor but not having weird holes in the case and tumors on the side of phones. Honestly, I don't know if I can go back to the buttons on the side. It just seems to me, from a design perspective, so inefficient and asymmetric. I freaking love the symmetry with these buttons. My only continued gripe about the back buttons is their proximity to the camera -- I often find myself pressing my finger into the camera instead of a button, and I'm worried I'm finger printing up my camera lense. But whateva, very small gripe and the more I've used the phone (got it in August) the less I would lose track of the button locations and mispress with my finger.

The speed and specs are the only reason I picked this phone in the verizon store. The s5 was the flagship that everyone knew, but I wanted to take the marginally higher quality screen and specifications. And I'm really glad, despite the discrepancy in benchmark scores compared to phones of lesser specification quality. Via AOSP roms (Illusion!!) I've been able to reach high benchmarks and satisfy the min-maxer in me.

Great phone, great design, 0 hardware problems and less than 1 full gripe accorded to over half a year of usage.
[Verizon LG G3] DeathBoT:
Very VERY happy...

I love this phone. I came from a N5 and this phone is better. The only thing the N5 has on it is the color, that red was so awesome.

I only got mine last Sept, but I don't see an upgrade in sight. Unless I get the N6 on Verizon. That upgrade would purely be for the unlocked everything, along with ROM support.

I am running 5.0.2 BlissPOP 2-20-2015 with the 777 Kernal, on Verizon.

Honestly if this phone would have shipped with Lollipop AOSP, BlissPOP esk, it would be perfect, no questions asked.

Cameras great, buttons on back are amazing, never knew that could be a thing, but now I hate going back, screen size and bezel are great too.
[Verizon LG G3] drewwho:
Came from s3 and this is my favorite Android so far. Got my wife to switch from iphone5 since she loved the back camera button so much for selfies. Just picked up Gpad8.3 also for 150 bucks which is amazing deal for the hardware in it. Running lollipop on 2 of the 3, Jasmine on G3, CM12 on Gpad
[Verizon LG G3] Fuse8499:
I tend to agree with all of you guys. I used to get a new phone every 3 months. It was ridiculous. Since the G2's release in 2013, I've only owned the G2 and G3 in over a year and a half. LG has nailed it for me!
[Verizon LG G3] Edde3d:
I love this phone. I came from the Motorola xt1080 I think it was. The darn thing couldn't even be unlocked or rooted. What fun is that? I will say the battery life on it was amazing though.

I love this phone. I came from note 2 i605. Skydragon lollipop Rom is the best. Awesome battery life.

After a year of ownership, it's the best phone I've ever owned. There are two CONS, though, and they're kinda big. 1) Camera is bad and 2) speaker phone is apparently bad(echo) for folks on the other end. I've always used my speaker phone a lot and I just can't with this phone since I immediately get complaints.

Otherwise, great phone.

[Verizon LG G3] Tillmorn:
I was extremely happy with the G3 until about three weeks ago, then I started noticing the yellow line in the upper left corner of my screen. At first it was only apparent on a mostly white background. Now...it is discernible 90% of the time regardless of background color. It's driving me up a wall and has me poking around Motorola's site lusting after the Nexus 6. it's not screen burn in, but it's definitely something that is not going away. Some claim glue or impact damage, who knows.

Other than that...I still love the G3, especially after switching over to Illusion and figuring out what was causing the massive battery drain (damn you, Google Play Services). A 5.5 inch screen in the size of a phone that is barely larger than a galaxy S5? Still blows people's minds when they compare it to things like the Note 4 and iPhone 6+.

I am a cell phone junkie and over the past 4 years owned a Motorola Droid Maxx HD, iPhone 4, Samsung Note 3, and HTC One M8. Each phone is unique in its own right but I tend to get bored. I recently purchased a LG G3 so I enjoy threads like this one where LG G3 owners get to post their likes and gripes about the device. I've been doing some research and the biggest complaints I've read is the QHD screen is a battery drainer and also causes lag. Hopefully, the stock UI upgrades and custom ROMs fix these issues. My current phone is an M8 and it is a great device but I'm ready for something different, hence the purchase. So thanks everyone for your G3 reviews and I look forward to being a fellow G3 owner. I'll be posting my own review in the next 90 days!
[Verizon LG G3] Tillmorn:
It is a battery drainer in comparison to a 1080p screen. The real drain on battery (at least on ROMs) is Google Play Services though. After restricting that and making a few other tweaks I frequently have over 50%+ of my battery left after 12 hours off the charger. On particularly slow weeks it can last me two days at a time.

As an example, my phone has currently been off the charger for an hour and a half. I've made a phone call, sent a handful of texts, checked email, checked the weather and listened to Spotify on the way into work. I'm still at 100%. Granted, that's with only 15 minutes of screen on time, but cutting rampant wakelocks off at the knees has done wonders.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be sure to perform a few tweaks before making it my daily driver.
