[G3 General] Yaminashi:
In all honest though you really need to ask yourself, how future proof are you these days anyway?

Chances are if you buy a new phone, it'll be outdated in a month because there will already be talks of a new model with a better processor and some revolutionary features.

Let's put it this way, I was in your situation a while ago too. I was using a Nexus 5 for a little over a year and just wanted something new. My first 2 choices were the M8 and the OnePlus one, then eventually I factored in the G3. It wasn't even on my radar to begin with!

In the end I chose the G3 because of the QHD screen, removable battery and microSD card support. Sure unibody phones look great, but I just have never liked the idea of the battery being sealed in. What if the battery you get is faulty? You'll need to replace the entire phone. Sure that's an extreme case but it can happen.

Take my post with a grain of salt because I don't value gaming performance, but with lollipop on the G3 it's plenty fast for me. I really don't think you can go wrong with either phone.
[G3 General] bolillo:
What kind on game are you looking to run to see if i can download it and test it out? I don't do much gaming on the phone just cause i have no time to game on it, all i have are some pick up and play games that entertaing for like 5min
[G3 General] Sumit.K:
I was in a similar situation when I sold my Moto X due to the same issues you mentioned above, though it was primarily due to the hideous AMOLED screen on the MOTO X which had burn-in issues just after 20 days of usage. Even my replacement unit got that in mere 10 days. It was the navbar that was visible under white/grey backgrounds.

I chose G3 over M8 after trying them in Chroma and other retail stores:

1. Much better screen to body ratio. The bezels are extremely slim and the phone looks sexy. Compare that to the M8, its as tall as the G3 but that is to accommodate those boomsound speakers.

2. Though it has to power a higher resolution screen, the latter lasts me 1.5 to 2 days since I consider myself a light user. It'll easily last you a day even with heavy use.

3. Camera is awesome! M8 stands no chance with its ultrapixel cam. The focus is insanely fast due to the laser focus which may seem gimmiky unless you use it and see it for yourself.

4. Though plastic, its pretty well built.

5. Removable battery, personal preference after using the MOTO X.

6. Gorgeous screen and I'm sure you'll see the difference when you use it over 1080p screen.

7. After sales of LG is light years ahead than HTC in our country. People all over India curse HTC for opting a 3rd party vendor for its after sales service. I've had an instance when I had to deal with them and I made sure it was the last. I've used Nexus 4 and 5 and found LG's after sales to be much better and their repair cost is also reasonable.

8. LG has come a long way in dealing with S/W updates and they have bettered HTC and many other OEM's in this area. I'm pretty optimistic that we will receive an update to 6.0 or whatever they name it.

Some points to consider:

1. The lags that you hear/read about were of 4.4.4 days and LG has done a good job with 5.0 making it pretty much lag free.

2. You WILL notice the speed difference between near stock Android of Moto X over custom LG skin but its something that you'll get use to in a matter of days.

3. I've used M8 a couple of times in retail store and its a wee bit faster compared to G3.

4. Though it happens rarely, the LG screen fails to respond to touch inputs. It mostly happens in the lower bottom area and many have reported this. Since 5.0 update, this issue is almost gone and I've come across it only once after the update. No need to worry about it and its certainly not a deal breaker. I've been using the phone since Dec 2014 and have encountered this 4-5 times and only once after the 5.0 update.

5. M8 with its boomsound speakers is clearly a winner when it comes to audio quality but G3's audio aint puny either. It's got decent amount of punch and should be enough for daily usage unless you plan use your phone to watch a lot of videos/movies.

Hope the above helps you in deciding. Every phone has its own compromises/cons and eventually you need to decide which ones you can live with. Cheers! :highfive:
[G3 General] NOxplode:
I owned both (M8 for a couple of months and G3 till now) and i can say G3 is clearly the winner out there.Theres a simple reason.

If you have checked the recent GMA (global mobile awards ) in category 5 (best mobile handsets ) there were 2 winners :

Apple iphone 6 + LG G3. I havent seen any samsung or nexus or htc devices . So i am glad that i kept my G3 .

The judges comments :

“Affordable excellence with winning design – its edge-to-edge screen offers the best quality mobile viewing experience around today.”

This is on a rooted Verizon S5 SM-G900V with Alliance ROM 4.4.2. I keep getting the notification to do a security update. Is there a way to permanently turn it off? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I'm currently running stock touchwiz 4.4.2 (rooted) and I used to see this message regularly.

I froze this......

.....With Titanium Backup and have not seen that message since........

From what I can work out, it's tied into the KNOX infection that Samsung forced on us all.......

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3473:
I found some high resolution images. They have more detail when viewing in the galleryy, compared to when setting as a home or lock screen wallpaper

Is there any way to stop touchwiz from compressing the image quality?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedicemaster:
stop setting wallpapers through touchwiz/settings.

FX File explorer can, from my experience, set wallpapers without visible quality loss.

it does work best with wallpapers with an ideal resolution(height of 2560, width between 2560 and 3000)
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] XoDAsIan:
So, hello everyone it's been a while.

For those who wonder what the heck is this guy,

I made this app: http://xdaforums.com/note-edge/themes-apps/edge-navigation-bar-button-t2950486

Anyhow, let's get to the point.

I've been around making this app... called 'On the Edge of the World', or 'the Edge of the World', or 'World Edge' to shorten a lot.

For now, it's quite simple. It basically works in three steps.

1.When loaded,(that is user swipes edge panels and World Edge shows up), it checks gps location.

2.Then it retrieves google maps image from online and shows the image on the edge panel

3.Also, it writes down the address of current location.

I have fooled my phone so that it thinks that I am at the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Island.

See the image below of the prototype I have worked on.

View attachment 3200511

GPS locations are not re-called automatically after once it's loaded due to battery issue.

You can refresh your GPS location manually by clicking that Compass icon below, though.

(Yes, it's the icon from Safari. Sorry Jobs, I have always been shameless about stealing great icons.)

So that's basically it, at least for now.

What do you think? Too gimmicky?

What kind of functionality does this app need to become a killer-app?

Let me know.
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] XoDAsIan:
Reserved just in case
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] micky387:
Good work again. And what about battery use?
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] ultramag69:
Possibly a GPS navigation system using just the edge with voice prompts. It can display an arrow when you need to turn(flashing arrow for a hundred meters or so) and have the voice telling you where to go. Make sure it has downloadable maps so it doesn't cost using wireless internet.

Good enough idea for you?:p:D
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] raynan:
Similarly to the Google Maps micro on Wear? I could get down with that!
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] CAIN0005:
Love the idea, can't wait to see it in action!

[Galaxy S 5 General] Trunktracker:
Is it just me, or is the LED on the S5 disappointing? Compared to the S3 (my last phone), it is dimmer and smaller. Why would Samsung do that? If anything, we should get a nice big bright LED with customizable blink and color patterns for different notifications. The stock notifications blink really slow and are real dim. In fact, when they came out with Android 5.0, they made it even dimmer. Major bummer! I just don't understand WHY they would dumb down the LED and why there's so few (if any) settings to customize it. Now we have to install battery-hogging apps like Light Flow to customize the LED, but it's still dim. Very disappointed!
[Galaxy S 5 General] sefuleo:
Maybe it is like this to save battery life.... but it's annoying
[Galaxy S 5 General] rrgrrg:
i use light manger and its amazing :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 5 General] Munki84:
Not sure if its just me but the flash is brighter on the S5 in camera mode but when using as a torch the led is a lot brighter on the S3. I would assume its to do with slowing the battery drain as mentioned by [MENTION=3119715]sefuleo[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S 5 General] yonster:
Light Flow is a great LED manager.

you are great bro :D
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] morrows:
Good job, but why 5.0 not 5.02
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] MeDoOoS:
Good ,, Download and test it now :)

thx

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

It`s really 5.0.2 :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] :
It is 5.0.2.

That's the default template I have to use for the thread name.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] MeDoOoS:
In thread name >> you called official but in ROM is unofficial ???
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] :
The build is official, just that it can't be built by Jenkins (because of patches).

For personal builds, it's standardly labelled as "unoffcial".

That's the reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] MeDoOoS:
Aha

And when will come out Jenkins`s ROMs ?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] :
Jenkins will never build s2ve/s2vep because we need compatility patches.

There is no difference anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Tolez:
Feedback?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] MeDoOoS:
Okey ,, Good work :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] MeDoOoS:

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] cracker12:
Good work... :D

The rom is great but have some bugs and it's why is a beta...

Flashligth don't work - i work arround

Vibration intensity don't work but also work arround

And i cant change mobile network for 2g! Some solution?

And if became available we will have OTA? I ask because of that unofficial/offici thing
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] :
Yeah I know about the bugs. It's still hardly worked on, but at least we have a start.

About OTAs, I don't know. They have to be available. Devices just started rolling out today this morning. As I saw Jenkins isn't doing ours, I got together the device tree/kernel/vendor files and assambled the ROM.

As for [MENTION=5401735]MeDoOoS[/MENTION] make sure you have the latest TWRP or PhillzTouch.

TWRP lately has a lot of bugs (I can't format f2fs partitions).
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] cracker12:
Thanks for the quick answer... For mobile network i use this code(*#*#4636#*#*) to force 2g signal
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] MeDoOoS:
I have TWRP lasr version 2.8.5.0

Anyone else experiencing mobile data instability and unable to use hotspot with the latest build?

My mobile data sometimes is not in service (not carrier's problem, I tried with other phone), while the hotspot keeps turning on and off by itself whenever I activate it :(

EDIT:

Problem #1: I now can activate hotspot properly, but the conenction is never there. Should I change the Tether Network IP address? Which one to choose?

Problem #2: Mobile data works, but I can't receive message from Whatsapp, Messenger (maybe more)...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Sheldd:
I had the same problem but it s very simple to resolve it, just go to your settings and lock at the internet access point, on my phone and my carrier i found there three

points, but the one who was selected wasn't the right one and i selected manually the right one, after that everything is working fine :D P.S. Sorry for my bad english :D
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Raven_Yen:
My signal bar is now flashing from 'full' to 'no sim' randomly after turning on mobile data :(
