[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hcdav:
Just my 2 cents:

The build quality is relatively solid. I use the phone without a case with a glass screen protector and mahogany dbrand skin on the back. It has taken quite a few falls and there are only minor scuffs on the corners. There is no creaking of the battery door which is a plus. On the flip side I was not too pleased with the plastic back cover. While it feels miles ahead in terms of quality over the G2 and Galaxy S models, I find that it feels 'meh'. However this is easily fixed by a dbrand skin, which I cannot recommend enough.

As for why you would prefer this phone to the Moto X:

I would say for me it would be the Micro SD, the 2K screen, the camera (with OIS) and actually LGs recent efforts to keep the software up to date. LG arguably 'released' their Lollipop update for the G3 before the Nexus devices even got it. This bodes well for future updates, really.

As for why you would prefer the Moto X:

The build quality is great and the customisability is a plus. Moreover the software is much less bloated on the Moto X and less resource heavy. This however is pretty subjective and many actually like the G3 software.

In all honesty, I probably would have opted for the Moto X if it had had an SD card slot. However I got the G3 for a killer price and it has everything I need. I have no need to complain but it just feels rather... uninspiring.

Just my honest opinion ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimboXXX:
I've had mine for a couple of weeks and am very happy with it.

Build quality: it feels solid and well made. I would prefer a textured back (like the G3 S) rather than the smooth back, but like poster above said, I can get a dbrand skin or something similar if I really want.

There is obviously an issue with cracks on top/bottom edges, but LG say that was a production problem that's been sorted. Do I trust that statement? No. We'll see what happens.

No complaints about anything. I even think stock rom is great (after being a Cyanogen user for 4 years).
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarnoX:
g3 vs sgs3 roms

I also thought about buying this phone. However, I entered the forum and I was terrified a small amount of the available roms. My current device is sgs3 where I can select in countless available modifications. If something did not work, or just does not suit me I can quickly change it to something else. How is it here? This is as bad as can be seen from the number of topics in the Android Development section?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green_Ranger:
Wow comparing an old phone to a last year's phone.. Funny. Remember it's not easy to compile good stuff/mods to create a roms as there are many things to consider. Give it some time impatient guy.

On topic: i am 50/50 with this phone.

Pros:

*Camera with ois and laser af

*Ergonomics

*Plastic build yes, but its much better and premium looking than chrome which really looks cheap. (Hi Samsung)

*5.5 inch display in such a compact phone. (Hi Sony)

*Faster when it comes to SW updates

*Music output is great whether you're using speaker or earphones

*Power and volume buttons at the back? Genius! Makes the phone clean at the sides

*I prefer Knock code than fingerprint scanner. My phone is still safe even when I'm sleeping. Lol (Hi Apple)

Cons:

*Starts to heat up faster than other quadcore phones

*Ui is beautiful but sluggish

*Speakers at the back is ok but much better if they put it at the bottom for much clearer sound

*Stuttering even when using other launchers like nova

*I didn't pay for a premium device just to get this phone. Honestly, lag is tolerable but cmon.. This has a 2/3 gb of Ram with enough storage and has SD801 processor. We shouldn't be experiencing this kind of problem

Well i don't hate my phone. I love it. It's just the software that seems to be the problem. again it's for you to decide. You can use our personal experience as your reference but the choice will be yours.. Go to where your heart desires :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zachary droid:
I have found that without a case, the phone is pretty slick, and really thin, if you don't have a good grip on it, it will slip, if your not careful, not a deal breaker, just with any phone you gotta be careful
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarnoX:
[MENTION=6365555]Green_Ranger[/MENTION],

Thanks for comprehensive reply. I'm not saying that here should be as many roms as there are currently in sgs3 forum, it would be at least unreasonable, but comparing it to samsung's section form the same period there was twice more topics or even more ;). But no matter... I hope that some developers will start to get interested in it in the future.

I'm really happy that you've written not only about advantages but also about the other side of the coin. Of course, they aren't serious flaws but it's always useful to know the opinion about such things from an experienced user.

Maybe stuttering is quite strange, because not considering the price, any way you slice it it's main LG phone and it have powerful hardware comparable to the best devices of others produces so it is premium device. Undoubtedly it is caused by software problem (GPU I guess) and there's possibility that LG (or even one of developers) will fix it hereafter.

I have one question, how about battery life?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bailx:
I just moved over to an ls990 (Sprint) from an HTC One (m7)...

Pros:

Much Better Camera

Much Improved battery life

Removable Battery

Removable SD Card

Cons:

I don't like the rear buttons (maybe you might)

AOSP ROMS are still very buggy (at least on the ls990/Sprint)

Overall I'm pretty happy with the choice, although I wouldn't have switched unless my HTC hadn't completely died (I'm guessing it was the internal battery.... which might as well be impossible to get to).

I would expect within the next year for ROMs to become much more stable for the LG G3, and I'm happy with the choice thus far. Hope that helps.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00280:
Yeah, there were/are tons of modded stock roms for s3. Thing is, 99.9999% percent of them don't deseve to exist.

The only good stock ones are 4.4.2 ports, omega rom and archidroid. And, maybe, S5 revolution. Other roms are "Let's take a stock rom, make a ton of useless build.prop edits and post it!"...

The g3 situation is different - roms are few, but distinct and good. There are some aosp/cm roms, from pure AOSP to Temasek's "Gotta kang em 'all!' builds, so things here aren't worse.

Battery life, is, unfortunately, same as on S3 or even worse. Bright 2K screen, snapdragon 801 and 4g don't add to battery life. 6h of 4g web browsing at most and 2-3 h of hardcore gaming is pretty bad.

There are serious flaws, actually. The main one is the absence of any cooling system for 801, plus it's facing the screen - which forced LG's software team to throttle it on 60° to prevent lowering screen brightness too low.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] masayasu:
hello guys!

please post today theme and dialpad skin on HTC Advantege!

thank you
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] mysticbluebmw:
Ok, here is my today theme.

You didn't post yours, though. Come on, let's see it! :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] victoradjei:
I believe he meant the .tsk files and cab files for phone dialpad :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] mysticbluebmw:
He may have meant .tsk files, but he asked for posting themes, which encompases more than just wallpaper files. ;)

As for dialpad cabs, yes, I knew that, but I don't use any custom dialpads, hence, I didn't post any. :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] masayasu:
hello victoradjei

yes! I want to .tsk file on X7500,

thank you
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] mysticbluebmw:
Ok, if thats all you really want, just type into google 'vga ppc wallpaper' and you should get more hits than you could shake a stick at. Probably thousands of .tsk files to choose from.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] zwuncki:
that's definetly not true (thousands), and if you have realvga on your athena then most vga wallpapers (part of the theme) won't work properly. so you have to look for realvga themes.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] mysticbluebmw:
Your right, it's probably many, many thousands. :rolleyes: And who said anything about realvga??? You are the first.

If you have WAD, you'd be able to use ANY wallpaper you want, no matter the size, since you'd be able to stretch it (or shrink as the case may be). You wouldn't need .tsk files either. You could use png, jpg, gif, tga, etc..., and then it wouldn't be thousands of choices it would near endless choices.:cool:

Oh wait, you already can use jpg files. :eek: You just have to do it through the included photo viewer, so you can disable the transparency.

As for resolution, use your favorite pc photo manipulation software the change the image size, and/or convert to jpg, if needed and you don't have WAD. There, now your choices are near endless, and you don't even need to have WAD afterall.:cool:

Obviously, I'm sure you already knew all that, though.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] zwuncki:
there may be people who don't wanna ruin there system by installing WA, the biggest system break of all besides phonealarm and battery pack (my poor device)!!!!

and there may be users who don't wanna put a photo on the today screen when you hardly can read anything anymore.

and there may be people who are just looking for the htc theme and don't need anyone to tell them how they can find vga themes thorugh google (like the threadstarter).

and many thousands of vga themes? that just tells me how little you know about that and that you haven't searched at all!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] Pyrofer:
I agree about WA, I hate it.

I found a simple Crossbow theme in this forum that has no photo, looks nice and works on the Ameo(Athena) ok. Just search for Crossbow Theme.

I also found a phone theme (cant remember where) that makes the T-Mob dialpad look nice again but I have a problem. Its very dark, and the text at the top is black!

Does anybody know the Reg Key to change the colour of font on the phone dialer?

I cant read the network or number etc.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] mysticbluebmw:
Why don't you try searching first before pretending to know a thing or two, of which you obviously don't.

I found 243,000 pages relating to my search of VGA PPC Wallpaper. Yes 99% are rubbish (I'm sure a couple of dozen are not), but on just page ONE, I found 300-400 .tsk's in VGA, between websites. Now if you have something CONSTRUCTIVE to say, perhaps let the OP know where he may find the themes he's looking for, then post that. Otherwise, go sit in the back of the class and pay attention. You may learn something, yet.

Since you din't read my post well, I'll say it once again, you DON'T need WAD (I never even mentioned WA!) to install any wallpaper you want. Use the WM5 photo viewer to set the background image and remove transparency. You don't need to use a photograph (making it hard to see text as you put it), you can use ANY graphic file you find or make.

If one prefers not do these things, and is still intent on only using .tsk files, that fine, there are tons out there. So don't start causing problems. It seems I'm the only one who has even tryed to help out in some way, so far.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] anilk:
Hey mysticbluebmw,

Is that the box standard Advantage theme? Looks cool. Is it available from some vendor? What about the weather part?

-Krip
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] mysticbluebmw:
Its a combination of software, including Wisbar Advance 2, Wisbar Advance Desktop (both by Lakeridge Software), SBSH Pocketbreeze, Phonealarm, and Weather Panel. There are some really impressive themes over at http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=34. So far, no compatibility issues, lock ups, or anything. PM me if need any more info.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] anilk:
Thanks for the info. If I do migrate to that package and its themes I'd want to make sure I keep two features: 1) 3G indicator at top to confirm that type of connection, 2) Indications of each email account and number of unread messages. Any VGA themes you recommend that keep those features? Found one here but don't see either of the above: http://www.kolumbus.fi/anders.ruohio/wa/organizervga.html

-Krip
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] mysticbluebmw:
1) To my knowledge, the 3G icon has not been identified seperately from other connections in any Wisbar skins. For me, I did not care, since I can't do anything about it anyway, but I can see if it were essential to find a 3G area, it would be needed to know.

2) I'm not sure whether phonealarm can do this or not. I vaguely remember reading posts about custom email alerts (didn't know what that meant then or now). The phonealarm forums are located athttp://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php

I wish you luck in finding what your looking for.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ovodennis:
Hi. I'm new to the forum but not new to android and samsung. I got greedy and impatient and wanted to load the lollipop G900T update on my G900A. I got root with the OA1 update, installed busybox, installed safestrap. Tried to install G900T update, but the phone rejected it. Thought I could be even more adventurous and install cyanogenmod so I went into safestrap and did a system wipe, which is where my problems began.

Here's what I can do:

-go into recovery

-go into download mode

-install files from odin

-see the battery charge animation when the phone is off

Here's what my problem is:

as soon as i start the phone, i get the galaxy s5 logo powered by android along with the giant unlocked lock that says custom (busybox or safestrap i assume). then i see the samsung animation and then it freezes. then i get a black screen with the pulsating blue light at the top of the phone. my guess is that it was soft brick so i tried to find every guide on the internet to reset it and it still comes back to that unlocked lock and freezing animation. as probably few of you have experienced, i began to think the worst - should i sell it for parts? is there a religious ritual? what am i going to do?

Here's what i've tried:

-following these http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785363

-flashing stock from sammobile

-doing both along with a nand erase all function

-attempting to install the BL file from the first link (fail)

i know the g900a isn't particularly a developer-friendly device with the locked bootloader and att being att, but please tell me there's hope. i can supply any odin logs you want.

p.s. if it helps, i get the fused 2 binary 1 when i try to flash sammobile stock file. or the bootloader file from the first link.

A couple more things because of the G900A locked down bootloader you won't be able to flash any Lollipop Roms until ATT drops official update.

You also CANNOT flash any ASOP Roms or custom kernels.

I'm not a programmer - I just did my first root of my Galaxy S4 Blaze last month so please bear with me.

This morning I flashed a different version of CM 11 because of some weird things happening with the nightly I got a couple of days ago; that worked fine. This is what I'm using and have been using since about a month ago, except for the last few days:

cwm-11-20150119-NIGHTLY-t769.zip

Got all my apps and data back thanks to Titanium Backup, everything is working fine. But when I reinstalled Link2SD, I set it to Ext4 as it was before and I get this error:

"Mount Script Error - mount script cannot be created. Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare(0)."

Link2SD was working fine before the ROM change. When I partitioned it, the second partition was Ext4. I tried uninstalling Link2SD, rebooting, reinstalling and then trying the other Ext (2, 3) with the same result.

Not knowing what else to do I backed up my card and used Mini Partition Wizard to delete and recreate the partitions (FAT32 and Ext4) . Exact same error in Link2SD.

I tried making both partitions FAT32, same error.

I have no idea what else to try here. Could something have happened to my SD card while it was in the phone this morning during the

ROM change? I find that kind of hard to believe. Can someone help me, please?
[XDA Assist] Heisenberg:
Hi :)

Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I can see you've also created an identical thread here:

[Q] Can't mount second Link2SD partition in CM 11

Please refer to the XDA Forum Rules for information regarding the duplication of posts/threads. I'm going to close this thread as you're already receiving help in the other one. If it turns out that the help you're receiving there doesn't resolve your issue you might want to ask your question in the link2sd thread here:

[APP][1.6+] Link2SD

But, only do that if your own thread goes nowhere, don't have the same discussion in multiple places at once, again refer the the XDA rules for more information.

Good luck!

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] abaddon37:
Hello, I have searched for days looking for anyone else with this issue, but have found no solutions.

At random times, my phone will not be able to play audio through the speakers, but plugging in headphones will work, as well as audio through bluetooth. Audio from phone calls will not work either, unless I am using a bluetooth headset. I have reset the phone as well and the issue is still not resolved. Also, I am unable to reproduce the issue; it just happens randomly.

After every reboot, I get sound from the speakers for an arbitrary amount of time, so I believe that rules out a hardware issue??

I am on Android 4.4.3, Bonestock 5.3 with latest radio. I was on Elite Kernel before and the problem was still there.

I have attached a logcat as well of trying to play music through Pandora. If anything is needed to debug the problem, please ask and I will provide.

Has anyone else encountered or have heard of this issue?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Latest radio.....how about latest firmware?

Your issue sounds like you simply applied latest radio, but didn't update your full firmware, which is a common reason for the issues you described.

Hi

Whenever you ask questions like the above, it is always good practice to mention what device you're using, which variant / carrier and model number it has, and what firmware you're enquiring about.

"Will this work on DN3 ?" is too non-specific to answer, and you may end up inadvertently getting wrong advice from someone about some other device that may lead to you damaging your phone. It's just good pracitce on a forum as diverse as XDA.
