GPS Lock on this phone is amazing I can get a GPS lock inside a Datacenter

Your pics were like watching fireworks, all I kept saying was ooh and aah:highfive:
[G4 General] didi_ghost:
Ahah, thank you bro :D . I just love the phone so much, it's so damn beautiful and i love the UI., this phone deserves all the best shots you can take him in every sexy ways :D

Those pics were taken with a DSLR Pentax K-R btw.

I got mine almost 2 weeks ago xD

[G4 General] bucknerspc:
So, just got "my" verizon lg g4. Only issue is the device number on my phone is the same as someone else's. So someone else got their's activated before me. Now I have to wait for these idiots to ship me another. So much for getting it on release day.
[G4 General] pfizzle:
Just got mine a couple hours ago! I'm loving it so far, it hasnt lagged as much as my older phones and tablets that pretty much freeze when I try to install/update a bunch of apps. I can install apps and use my phone perfectly

cannot get free battery - invalid imei number

i have the same problem. so i called them. some foreigner said, "okay, so what's the problem?" whatever, i don't know what to do now.
[G4 General] Mindspin_311:
I am going to give it a few days. Might be something with it JUST being released and loading IMEIs or something.
[G4 General] pfizzle:
Im having the same problem of invalid IMEI when trying to do that online offer. I'll try again on friday, hopefully it'll be in the system by then
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
I had a chat session and they said for Verizon people, send the requested info - seen on the promo page - to lgg4promo@smsrebates.com and we will get a confirmation email.
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
I really love this device! So fast, gorgeous screen, love it! Leather is fantastic too!

:p
[G4 General] Rippley05:
Like the phone. Just a gew gripes.

Verizon. Again. Stripped LGs browser and task apps. I loathe Verizon.

Also, this phone won't stay at 100% brightness longer than a few minutes. It aggressively drops to 80%. It's really lame..

I disagree with the guy who gate the feel of the leather, it feels great to me.

Also, Verizon ripped the theme section of settings out.
[G4 General] triton302:
Got mine today, going back to the store tomorrow for refund.

I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt, powered it on without activation, letting it sit for about an hour before testing it. The gaming is awful. Played Dead Trigger 2, max of about 21 frames per second, seriously bogs down. I got down to 7 frames at one point.

Whereas my two year old iP5s running Dead Trigger 2 with multiple apps open plays at a constant 27-40 fps. Even my fiance's Note 4 plays around 30-40 fps. I do a lot of gaming, so this is a deal breaker. Oh well.
[G4 General] shawnten:
You probably had gaming mode on in battery settings. Its a fail attempt at saving battery
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
Yep, turn that off. Don't jump in and assume things without knowing what you're doing ;)
[G4 General] triton302:
Actually I do know what I'm doing, it's called using a device as configured from the factory. Shouldn't have to turn a bunch of stuff on or off to do basic functions. Thanks.
[G4 General] smw6180:
I think turning off one setting that was put on by default (which specifically states that it limits graphics during gaming to save battery) isn't too much to handle. But honestly if you fly of the handle after having the device for an hour or so it's probably better that you DO take it back...though I doubt you'll find many people to agree with your reasoning.

My advice is to calm down, learn how your new phone works, give it a day or two (you typically have 14 days depending on your carrier) and then see what you think of it. Return it later if you're still unhappy. Snap judgments on little to no real data are almost always wrong.

Sounds more like buyer's remorse and looking for an excuse to take it back than anything else to me, but that's just my opinion.
[G4 General] didi_ghost:
My phone never dropped from 100% even at heavy using. H815 International Model btw.
[G4 General] Chyeo1979:
Yeah, i find that the 100% can take quite a long while to drop to 99% (up to 20+mins sometimes). But once out of the 100%, it behaves like a normal phone and drop every few mins of using.
[G4 General] triton302:
Thanks for the advice. However, the tip above did absolutely nothing. And no, it's not buyers remorse, I can afford the phone no problem. It doesn't suit my needs, so it goes back. The end.
[G4 General] mtva24:
I second the verizon variant's issue of brightness not staying at 100%. Very annoying! No stock browser I can get used to because I use chrome on my Nexus 6. dahwell, patiently awaiting root.

For those of you who had the IMEI problem like me when submitting info for the free battery/card promotion, I just tried it again and it worked through the website. You might have the same luck if you try now or tomorrow
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
Saw it earlier (in fact the same minute it was posted :)) but I'm in no hurry. I'll wait until others have tried the unlock first.
[G4 General] Daptonic:
I can abd reboot to the bootloader, but they haven't added it to unlock site as of yet.
[G4 General] Jacob Brewstar:
Yes, battery need first two charges for calibrating.
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
Can someone with a NON-H815 device try the unlock website and see what message it gives you?

I have the 815 but I get a "Not Found Suffix" error. I suspect it doesn't like my device but I want to be sure. Mine is the 815 but from Taiwan so not sure if that makes a difference.

Got the Leather Back VZW. Because I like the leather look and feel. I Came from HTC EVO, then went to Note 3, to G3 (love this device) and my G4 arrives today (Yea me!)

Here is a no bake cake recipe.

What You'll Need:

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

2 (8-ounce) containers frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided

1 cup confectioners' sugar

14 whole chocolate graham crackers

1 (13-ounce) jar chocolate hazelnut spread (like Nutella)

What To Do:

Line a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, overlapping sides of pan.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 container whipped topping, and confectioners' sugar until smooth; set aside.

Break graham crackers into sections and gently spread hazelnut topping on one side. Place a single layer in pan, breaking as necessary to fit pan. Spread whipped topping mixture evenly over hazelnut and repeat 5 more times with remaining graham crackers and ending with whipped topping mixture. Cover with overlapping plastic wrap and freeze at least 4 to 6 hours.

Invert cake onto platter and remove plastic wrap. Frost entire loaf with remaining container whipped topping. Refreeze 1 hour, or until ready to serve. Let sit out 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Favorite color is orange, and my favorite song......thats a hard one, there are so many great songs, I'll get back to you on that.

My Shipment from VZW arrived a few minutes ago via Fedex. The box had been opened and the phone is gone. I might be a tad pissed.....
[G4 General] scrillakev:
Wtf..Aren't they suppose to wait for your signature? I hope it works out for you man.
[G4 General] rfarrah:
Thanks. The empty box was delivered here. It was stolen en route.
[G4 General] evanl27:
I ran into this yesterday too. Couldn't find a way to get it working.

Stock messaging app works fine in the LG launcher, and in Google Now Launcher, just not Nova.
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
WOW. Have fun arguing with Verizon's world class clowns CS Reps. You'll probaby have to call 5 times before a supervisor zero's out your cost for another new G4.

Sorry man, this sucks.
[G4 General] rfarrah:
Thanks. Actually, they are shipping me another, overnight. Hope it makes it all the way to me this time. I just hate having to wait yet another day.
[G4 General] LancerV:

I use 8SMS. I love it because I can dark theme it and have quick reply/view.

Who would deliver an empty box? You can go as far as finding out the delivery guy (always has same route) and get him fired. Do you live in a single house or an apt type building? If you live in an apt type building, I bet someone saw the delivery guy and signed for it, stole the phone and put the empty box outside your door.

Fed-ex delivered the empty box to our business. It had paperwork and bubble wrap in it, but I could tell the moment I picked it up that something was wrong. Someone had stolen the phone and taped it back up.
[G4 General] shawnten:
Anyone have any idea how to fix the clock force closing when I hit the add alarm buttom
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Man, this is getting ridiculous, but is usually caused IMO by low wages and a desire to get rich quick! They can sell that G4 on the black market for $500 cash easy. That's probably what they make in a month sorting boxing or packing trucks for FedEx!
[G4 General] srod562:

looking to possibly import a european H815 and looking to get the best deal possible... with some decent shipping. ebay and amazon are full of H815s but it seems many.. maybe all are the asian variants and not european. and many of the stores overseas don't ship to USA.. or if they do it's all very expensive.

2 possible sites I've found so far:

I keep finding new cool things with this phone. Probably because I'm new to LG, and everyone else already knows these :laugh:

When the screen is off, slide down on the screen (and hold) and it will show the time and status bar, while keeping the rest of the screen blank :good:

Yeah i knew that already and it's amazing feature. It let us see the time without having to unlock the phone ^^

Everyone? Lol. My G4 has zero lagg. People just fill their phones with thrash and 1000000 apps running in background and then they say it's lagged, of course... lol.
[G4 General] *justintime*:
Don't have much apps... Still it laggs so don't make conclusions based on assumptions.

Different launcher and its smooth as butter.

[G4 General] Rippley05:
Everything is stock. Much like the g3, rave reviews..but lags. There is lag, even in simple games like clash of clans. There are a lot of screen redraws when leaving apps. Apps sometimes take a second to launch..

Don't get me wrong, love the phone, but LG does a poor job optimizing their software
[G4 General] geoff5093:
No lag here, I find it much faster an opening apps, and doing things within apps than my G3 on AOSP 5.1.1.

This phone is gloooorious. Quite an upgrade from the 2014 Moto G I was using.

BUT I'm having a lot of trouble getting all my music and playlists to sync in Google Play Music. Made a thread in the help forum, but it ain't getting much love.

Anyone run into similar issues on the G4 or any other devices? Pretty weird since all my other devices and the web app are completely fine.

This is a bit of a deal-breaker for me. Really don't want to spend nights re-adding albums and re-building playlists just for one device. :/
[G4 General] LancerV:
No WCDMA is not CDMA

When I change DPI to 560 - using Nova launcher everything is fine. Except the camera app. If I go into manual mode, choose focus (MF) and I slide it all the way up to zoom all the way out, the camera app force closes. Can anyone else confirm this happens? It's preventing me from running a lower DPI.
[G4 General] rfarrah:
That was the color I was hoping to get. Now I'm hoping the price drops over time!
[G4 General] Mindspin_311:
So, Im on Tmobile..

I bought the phone online when it first went on sale. Got the phone, received a new SIM card. But, I just popped in my SIM from my N5. Any reason why I would have to use the SIM they gave me? Phone is functioning fine otherwise.
[G4 General] smw6180:
Can't imagine it matters. I'm also on TMO and I did that moving from my m8 to m9 (before getting rid of it for the G4) and I didn't run into any issues.
[G4 General] srod562:
I asked that same question to the tmobile sales rep on the phone when I called about getting the receipt sent to me for the promos. He said since my old phone (note3) uses the same size Sim card as the LG G4 there is no need to use the new one that was sent with the phone. He said it's a good idea to have a backup in case the current one starts giving me problems or goes faulty somehow.
[G4 General] geoff5093:
Nope, you can just swap SIMs.
[G4 General] :
Welp, I got my g4 yesterday. 810 here black leather, bought a red leather backing off ebay, can't wait for that to come. Hopefully will get some fast dev work this time :P
[G4 General] rfarrah:
How much did you pay for the Red leather back on Ebay, if you don't mind my asking?

Only seller at the time ran about $70 after tax.

Gotta pay to be a boss.
[G4 General] Jay Rock:
I just bought this phone today as an upgrade from my current Galaxy S3. Should arrive next week and I can't wait. The fact that brown leather version didn't cost any more than the plastic version is awesome.

LG G4

This is probably the best phone phone with android. All you need and want in one case with amazing software. Only hardware can be tougher but everything else is just speechless. I am very pleased specially with camera
[G4 General] mjs2011:
Can someone please confirm that Verizon removed the themes in settings? Kind of a deal breaker.
[G4 General] Rippley05:
I can comfirm that theme is removed. Missing apps like LGs browser, tasks, smartworld... Verizon really stripped this phone. I am sending it back Monday. It feels like an extremely basic android phone on 3+ year old software.

I do not recommend anyone getting this phone on Verizon.
[G4 General] woozzy101:
I get my Verizon LG G4 on Tuesday! They only got rid of only a couple things that I figure an app or two will fix. It also has the LATEST software, so not sure why it would feel 3+ years old? The few things from reading that I think i'll be bummed are the profiles, themes and font changes. But figure I plan on finally rooting my phone when it becomes available and that will become a non issue.

Oh ya, has anyone on Verizon managed to get the 100gb Google Drive "promotion" working? Sadly, I was actually looking forward to receiving that for 2 years.
[G4 General] rfarrah:
I understand that everyone should get the phone that works best for them, but your statement is unusual: you're the first person I've ever seen complaining that there wasn't enough bloatware on his phone, and further that makes it an extremely basic phone. Since LG's UI is almost as stock android as you can get (thank GOD it's not like Sense, or even worse: Touchwiz), and its running LP 5.1, it is more advanced than most of what is out there.

I would strongly recommend this phone on Verizon.
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
The LG launcher is quite terrible HTC Sense is so incredibly superior to this, it's just not even in the same league. Nova is the best option for the G4.
[G4 General] Swizzle82:
Once we get root you should be able to access the launcher hidden menu and enable themes. We had the same thing happen on the TMo G3..
[G4 General] Rippley05:
Hold on a sec...LGs software is as close to stock as you can get? Are you serious? You must be one of those people who can't see behind the scenes. Just because the apps look somewhat flat does not equal stock android. not even close.

1. He asked if someone can confirm if themes were removed, I did, as well as mentioning a few other things.

2. I do not consider Apps like the LG browser, or theme features bloatware. Maybe you do, but I don't care what you consider..I wasn't talking to you.

3. Bloatware is all the crap verizon forces on my phone, than can not be removed, not to mention the stuff that logs keys, information, etc.

You're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine.

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

Only a couple things huh?

Well, about that 100GB Google drive promotion...yea, Verizon blocked that.

What is the "latest software" to you? Android 5.1? What is it offering over the previous version? Better battery..Nope. More features?..Nope. At least not on the G4.

What I mean by 3+ years old is this. The phone m(not all the time, but more than it should with todays current technology) runs slow, laggy, choppy. The screen isn't as responsive, trying to type fast is the best example for me. Games, simple games like Clash of Clans are laggy. The battery life is terrible. This phone feels like it's run on 3+ year old tech.

This is the exact same conversation that was going on with the G3. The reviews claimed a lot of the lag and chopiness from the g3 was fixed on the G4 (after they claimed the G3 had none, go figure) I think LG pays for good reviews.

The G4 has some pros, but the cons outweigh it. I will say, the camera on the G4 is the best I've used. i have the Note 4, S6 and G4 with me right now, just taking random pictures around the houses and the G4 kills it
[G4 General] Sher The Love:
Anybody look at their screen through polarized sunglasses? It's pretty unviewable. I'm guessing there is some kind of polarized layer to help with outdoor viewing/glare.

I've noticed a slight dimming on other phones, but the screen looks like it's off with the G4. It's not a big issue for me since the only time I wear sunglasses is driving and since I have a navigation unit, I don't have much of a reason to look at my phone while driving.

Edit: For reference, I mount my phone in landscape. I'll have to look at the difference in portrait.

Edit 2: This reddit thread has some interesting info. http://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/38p9ls/ips_display_vs_polarized_sunglasses/
[G4 General] gtg465x:
Was the same way with the Nexus 5, also an LG phone. Perfectly viewable in portrait though.

[G4 General] :
Me and you are having incredibly different experiences. I'm getting no lag. At all from anything. I have no issues trying to type fast at all. Between using two different keyboards I have no issues. My battery life is pretty decent for having all of the bloat AT&T packs into this thing. My screen responds very well and now if my games lag for me...
[G4 General] 06stang:
Anyone else notice the peek feature for the clock when the screen is locked? I just found it out and got a bit excited.

Also, LG Messenger sucks. I use Google Messenger. Textra was awesome until they added the ads but I heard they might have removed them.
