[Java for Android App Development] Vivek_Neel:
You can do this way.

Compare your current version number and previous version number.

If the current version number is higher than the previous version number then show the dialog containing your changelog :)
[Java for Android App Development] MasterAwesome:
Or this ^ use package manager.

[IMG="Press render of G4"]http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/174414-thumb/LG-G4-early-press-render-leak-01.png[/IMG]

It appears they've increased the size of the sensor for the camera, which is great, but if this is the G4 (along with the dimension listed in the article) then I'll have to pass. The G3 is big enough for me as it is and the design looks to be iterative. This wouldn't be able to compete with the S6/edge design-wise. Plus, at the purported size, it would be more of a Note competitor.
[G3 General] sofir786:
How would this be a Note 4 competitor? it has a supposed 5.3 inch screen, thats smaller than our g3's.
[G3 General] Japultra:
Just speaking to the size of the actual handset. It is supposedly bigger than the G3., and that's just getting into phablet territory.
[G3 General] airflyer737:
Looks nice in my opinion. G3 backcover is good as it is. No need to change it radically on the G4.

Only thing that I dislike is that the size increased which will lead to a lower screen-to-body ratio (one reason why I bought the G3).

What do you think, will the G4 have a curved screen as it looks like on this rendering or is it just the backcover design or bad angle?
[G3 General] sofir786:
Its a tiny amount though, you're talking millimeters here. The note 4 is 153.5mm in height, theres just too much speculation, LG have always had really good screen to bezel ratio and body size, take for example comparing the LG G3 to the Sony Z series. We'll see soon enough though.
[G3 General] natalya:
Official announcement expected when? This month?
[G3 General] airflyer737:
Somewhere in April according to latest rumors. We can expect the new LG UX 4.0 this month.
[G3 General] sofir786:
Should be announced by end of Q1 and released by Q2
[G3 General] Japultra:
The dimension I'm more worried about is the width as that will affect the in-hand feel moreso than the height. At 76.5 mm, it's 2 mm wider than the G3 and 2 mm narrower than the Note 4. I can barely reach my thumb over to the opposite side as it is. I think that increase in width would definitely put the G4 safely into the "2 handed device" category.

At those dimensions, I can't imagine the screen being smaller than the G3. And knowing how LG loves having a great screen to body ratio, I actually think the screen might be a bit larger. But at the end of the day, these are just rumoured dimensions. The final product will most likely not be this wide. It just doesn't seem to match up.
[G3 General] brick_breaker:
I might get it. G3 is big enough, but I want a note so i could go bigger. Unless the screen to body ratio is drastically reduced. Need those tight bezels.
[G3 General] sofir786:
The reported specs make no sense at all lol tbh
[G3 General] Japultra:
I agree. With rumours of a smaller screen, a larger body makes no sense at all, given LG's track record.
[G3 General] Ponsonby_Britt:
I just picked up a G3 mere minutes ago, so no. :D
[G3 General] bpodnar:
G4 have to be with full metal jacket, no more plastics please! This is only a rumor nothing else and I hope thats not true. If LG wants to be concurent G4 IMHO must have things are:

- metal(aluminum) unibody housing

- microSD slot

- Smaller display

- front facing speaker(s)

- and maybe capacitive buttons.

If they go for plastic housing I'm not interested because G3 is good enough!
[G3 General] lujki1:
I don't care about design that much, but I think that it should be metal body and front facing speakers, and screen to body ratio on G3 is perfect, so it makes no sense to reduce it.. What do you think G4 vs S6/ S6 edge vs One M9?
[G3 General] Japultra:
Personally, I'm not too impressed with what I'm seeing so far from the G4. Currently, I'm planning to pick up an S6 or S6 edge once it's released. The One M9 was unimpressive to me.
[G3 General] jsl34:
Not quite sure this is at all what it will be

Just saying:

its curved, G Flex territory, doubtful LG would do that

lock button is exactly the same as the original G Flex

Front is thesame as most mid-range phones LG anounced at MWC recently. Those were "knock-offs" of the G3(mid-range phones based of flagship), LG wont use that look on a completely knew flagship device

just sayin.....
[G3 General] NOxplode:
Well i think G4 will have killer specs . On the other hand ,LG announced that will release something like a G Note thing that will be above the G series(specs probably) . If that rumor is confirmed later in 2015 i guess i wont upgrade from G3 to any flagship device like S6,M9, G4 etc.
[G3 General] hcdav:
If it has an OLED display of sorts then hell yeah. Although I do absolutely love my G3, I find the colours very underwhelming even when compared to my G2. The G2 screen, I find is arguably better with resolution aside.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Pirateghost:

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] mikebonales:
Oh, I thought it was a bug. It really is a bit unusual to see the search bar without the Google logo and microphone icon, but if the launcher is like this, ok! No problem!

Aosp has no Google components at all. The Google logo and the search icon ate part of the Google now launcher

Im looking for a program that would learn the infrared signal thats produced by my key-type remote for the entrance into my building. Its quite big, and it uses normal IR transmitter found in any typical remote control, so I wanna get my PDA to "learn" the signal, so I can just use it to open the door.

Is there a simple program that will let me do this? All I could find are the remote control programs for TVs, etc.

Maybe you could try the Learn function on the tv remote programs, they might work. I recall I could use it to turn on my air conditioner with my old phone. Unfortunately the IR range on my new, XDA IIi is too weak.

It seems that white one looks better but wehn the phone is on you can see the rdark lines around the display, which is not such a problem with the dark one, seems like they combine with its dark suroundings.

Can you give me your opinion, if u have white one do you even notice them? Do you own a dark one? Is it better in your opinion. Because I saw many images and videos and sometimes they look really big and sometimes you can barely see them. If you could help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks :)

Massive battery drain in Mate 7 L09!! Please help!

Hello guys,

how is your Mate 7's battery life doing now? Please tell me.

I have the same problem or a worse battery drain problem in my Mate 7 L09. It was running the B127SP02 version (customized by Claro Peru (Operator))

Then a fews hours ago I flashed the B127 stock version from Huawei's web site in hopes for the problem to stop. NO, it keeps loosing power while idle,

no matter if it's all set to save battery, no apps allowed in the background, set to airplane mode, etc, the battery drain while iddle is horrible! It can lose 15% in 3 hours.

And the night I bought it I charged it fully and let it idle the whole night, I did not touch it. It went from 100% to 55%!!! In 10:30 hours iddle (please see the pictures).

I attach pictures for you to see how horrible this is. Otherwise the Mate 7 is awesome!

My Mate 7 is second hand, the guy who sold it to me told me everything was normal before (before he did a hard reset).

He had it for some 10 months. There's no sign of a drop, not any damage. It's like new.

What can be wrong with my Mate 7? Please try to help me. I've seen there aren't many threads about battery drain in the Mate 7, so this is weird.

All reviews and videos and other people I talked to who have a Mate 7 are very surprised with my problem. Their battery life is awesome no matter what!

I've tested with Pc Mark battery work and it only scores 4 hours and 39 minutes!!! How bad is that??, whereas my LG G3 scores easily 5 hours 17 min!!

How much score yours? Please.

I hope you can help me. Maybe you can share the exact version your Mate 7 is doing fine with. Please.

I've downloaded from the link below a couple of Updates (B137 and B143) to flash and try.

How much battery is lost while idle overnight in your Mate 7?

Hello. Thanks for your input.

So far I've tried B137 (not SP03 in name) and the build before this. What does it mean SP03, btw?

But, the problem persists. It's losing energy at a 3-4.5% per hour in idle state (all battery saving tips applied).

In PC Mark battery work benchmark scores 4 hours and 20 minutes. Not too bad, but other people are getting at least 5 hours and 30 minutes.

What can be so wrong?

But the one million dollar question is: How much battery is lost while idle overnight?

This is the real question I think, because in all my tests, no matter the build version, I have got l least 5 hours of SOT (17 hours of use in total), which is not bad,

but most people get at least 7 hours SOT (in some 30+ hours) I guess I use it too frequently.

So, that would be the main question, the lose of energy in idle state, and why does it happen to almost everyone in more or less amount.

Please, people, do try to answer and tell all of us. Thank you!
