hey fellow Indian G4 Indian users, as you can see now, soon we will get stable cm12.1 / cm13 for lg g4..

But we cant use it cause locked bootlader, so mail lg for unlock bootloader.

Refusing 'online purchased handset' is a crock as you found out. That policy only applies to appliances like fridges and washing machines. There is no issue with buying an LG phone online.

They couldn't fix the problem so they are getting you a new phone. Good.
[G4 General] vin_eme:
but in all this, i lost 1 whole month......if it were in US they just replace with a new handset on the spot and you can walk with a new handset right there...thats customer service... Dont know when those service SLA norms will come to our country..
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Those are carrier based devices. They come with bloatwares and all sorts of restrictions. Mad craving for root. i don't envy people on contract at all. We buy outright. :)

I doubt your experience would have been different with any other branded vendor. Forget Chinese ones.

In the end you got your replacement.
[G4 General] r4Rok:
1. That's called the Gov policy. The fineness of the customer service is the result of the gov policy. Had anyone faced such or (even an minor issue) in any of the 1st countries, they would simply take them to consumer court, which in no time will slap the companies with heavier fines. So, the companies their won't dare to exploit consumers.

2. :silly:
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Why so much crying from those on US carriers then. I do not envy them one bit :D

In Bangalore, LG does not even have a main showroom, they operate on a franchise model. So there are lots of little shops that sell LG products and some big box stores. Just to get my hands on the G4, to hold it i had to go into the suburbs. Had to call up quite a few shops until i found one that actually had it on demo. Many others just had it in boxes and told me we don't do demo. Ridiculous!

I can get demo of any samsung, apple or sony product. But LG's you have to search for. fine, they have the best this year so i put up with it.

This case was about a replacement, something coming out of their pocket. Apparently the decision had to come from Delhi.

When i called up the service center nobody even picks up. You have to go in person which is a PITA.

Hi people... Have been using G4 for 2 months now...after the latest update v10f I have the feeling battery has got worse...I used to get 15-18hours standby ...or if I am using continuously 4hours screen on time ...and now it's gone down to 2hours...

[G4 General] One Twelve:
The problem is there is a stuck wakelock some where and its hard to figure out where it is.

The general solution is factory reset and then reinstall apps from scratch. Not from backup. Install a few observe, install more and so on until it becomes normal.

The top item in that list is whatsapp. this 'app' needs to do push notifications to work so it prevents the device from sleeping.

You could greenify whatsapp but will it work properly after. No way to disable push notificaitons in whatsapp is there.

It only takes one app to keep the phone awake and your standby will come down.

Maybe just reinstall whatsapp ?
[G4 General] mjose:
Hi, Can you provide the detail of shop where they have a demo unit. Iam from bangalore. I tried some shops aroung indiranagar.But failed. Is it worth to buy LG G4. I use mainly for offline navigation,Camera and office works. Using Galaxy Note 2 for the last 3 years. Not impressed with onePlus 2 because of software and h/w issues.

2/3 weaks back got good offers starting from 29K online. But missed.

Thanks.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Croma in koramangla had the black leather on demo a couple of months back. Call them to check.

Sangeeta on Mosque Rd in Fraser Town has the brown leather on demo now.

Is it worth it depends on what you want. No leather is cheaper but its good to have, my preference is for brown/red over black because its softer. Only way you will tell is to hold it in your hand.

The spare battery/charger & 6 month screen replacement which includes screen breakage expires at the end of Nov so prices will come down to reflect it. See t's & c's

here

.

Any offers little over 30k do not have the screen replacement , no leather nor charger & spare battery. As benefits are withdrawn the price reduces. You get what you pay for.

OP2 isn't a consideration for me. i wanted a good stills camera and the G4 arguably does to anyone that knows how to operate it. Spare battery, expandable memory, ease of repair & ergonomics for the screen size.

Note 2 does not have OIS so you will see the difference.

If you want to play FPS games get a note 5. But for something that is assembled in Noida the asking price certainly does not reflect it.

If you want the G4 camera along with the same manual controls in video then wait for the v10. its a bigger 5.9 device though.

[G4 General] Irumar:
Hmnn.! Well got my G4 a month back. Installed extended battery of 8500mah of deep stretch sent by my cousin in the U.S. Also installed 200gb sd card, 3 mobile reception enhanced stickers (one for each antenna), and stuck the kld leather cover (ebay) on the extended battery cover. Also installed nillkin tempered glass. Before putting the glass cover one needs to remove static electricity through the blue film. Fits flawlessly. U can see the video on youtube. I have tried other tempered glass on my earlier galaxy s4, but nothing as good or protective.

Poland and korea have received Android 6.0 OTA. My gues is India should receive by January orlatest by February.

---------- Post added at 07:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 AM ----------

However, my lg g4 stock camera app has stopped. Did factory rest which restarted it, but afte 20 days, it again stopped. Am now on google camera. Any body else facing such an issue?
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Do you have a link to those stickers ?

How well do they work. The way to answer that question is to note down dbms without and with. How much difference ?

Looks like a

scam

product. Another

link

Try clearing cache and then data for the camera app.

There could be a bug in the stock camera UI. Had similar with my k zoom, where if i ordered shooting modes in a grid pattern the stock camera would fc if i tried to choose any other mode but auto. This happened at a party and was very annoying.

But if i ordered the shooting modes in a horizontal fashion there was no problem. Course it took a day or two to figure this out and for some reason only affected some variants.

maybe something similar with the G4. an option or a combination of options in the stock ui that triggers it.
[G4 General] Irumar:
Search in amazon india for "mobile signal booster". Each sticker enhances by 2 db only. So, enough to get reception in a moving lift. However, not enough for low signal strength itself for which atleast 55~65 db signal booster is required for a house/office.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
2dBm is very little. I can see that much difference if i point the phone in different driections within a room itself.

http://www.amazon.in/Universal-Generation-Antenna-Booster-Signal/dp/B00UJ67OJA

This is all i found on amazon india and predicatably is junk.

Wanna know how to solve the problem ? use 2g. if that doesn't work , find yourself a carrier with better coverage.
[G4 General] Irumar:
Sure it is little. Beyond that you need an antenna which gives around 12 db, or an amplifier beyond that. However, this boosts the top carriers in Mumbai, helping in call drops, below bridges, in lifts, etc. I keep 2 carriers on my phone, and easily switch depending on the area. I have vodafone & Idea
[G4 General] One Twelve:
How to tell if its placebo though ? you think its better because you have it :)

2db the phone signal amplifier can handle, it will heat up and drain battery faster. Moto's are good at latching to signals and warm up more.

Some Chinese phones are better still, they come with very big batteries. Was looking at the lenovo vibe p1. 5000mah :eek:

[G4 General] Irumar:
Good point. Was empirical observation, but will log test.
[G4 General] Irumar:
First of all Thanks! Successfully installed Android 6.0 on my lg g4 H818N.

Some points:

1. Please download the LG G4 Dual drivers and install

2. In LGUP click the row under file and change file extension to .kdz from .tot to search and link the file (new for me coming from Odin).

3. Rest follow the post to the T.

4. Did a hard reset but always getting warning on restart - "Current version is not available for user. Can't find matched cust for NT-code mcc/mnc[FFFFFF], subset [58]"

5. Other than that can confirm very smooth working including camera stock app, wifi, SIM and bluetooth.

6. UI very similar to Android 5.1, same wallpaper etc.

7.Also don't forget to tick Bin in LGUP. After that, once the kdz file is shown in file, choose "upgrade", hit "start" and relax. Takes 10- 15 mins.

8. Battery drain has increased as after purchase and before first update.

9. Most serious issue till now - moving apps to sd card asks for re'partition of the sd card to "internal memory", otherwise not allowing apps to be moved to sd card.

10. Used a couple of days now. This ROM IS MUCH SMOOTHER and faster.

And once again, Thanx! nykdpk

SAMSUNG vs LG

Hey there! I have been using the G4 H818N since September. I had been using the Note 4 previously and all I can say is that I see no clear winner. On the Note 4 I did not have root access at all. With G4 I did get the root access but the bootloader is locked. There is no custom recovery and there is no ROM support.

For the camera, I can say the G4's camera is the best I have ever used for still photography in both daylight and dimlight. But the samsung's camera does a lot better videography than this one. The front camera is much better on the G4. The overall UX on the samsung is a bit more polished whereas, the UX on the G4 is much faster and more vanilla-ish.

You may be better off buying the H815 from an international seller if you are not going to use the 2nd SIM slot. The galaxy s6 is smaller and has limitations like no replaceable battery and no memory card slot. I use the supplied spare battery a lot and the memory card slot is another advantage. I would rather suggest you look at the Note 4 as its price has been slashed and it is a great performer. Also, the metal construction is much more solid and premium feeling than the LG's plastic & leather.

I agree. I should've got the note 4 instead. I'm more on videos than photo shots.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
If you're more into video the V10 would be the better choice. if you could wait. then wait for the price to come down and by then the G5 is about to come out.

i don't do much video and the stills camera is good enough for a long time.

For me., the G4 is the right size coming from a previous screen size of 4.7". V10 is too big to jump too. Maybe v2 of the v10.

Motherboard replacement!

I have been using the G4 since June, and after 5-6 years of using iPhones, I absolutely LOVE it. I thought I was a lifelong LG fan, till I experienced LG service which is absolutely shocking!

About a week back my phone hungup on me, it wouldnt go past the LG Lifes Good display and kept rebooting. I sent it to the service centre and they said that the motherboard had crashed. First of all I cant understand how the mother board of a Flagship model crash so easily. It doesnt seem to be an uncommon problem, as several users on different forums have mentioned the same thing. Most of them however got the phone replaced.

My local LG service centre says they will replace the motherboard and they have had my phone for the past 10 days now, waiting for the spare part to arrive. I dont think I want a phone with a replaced motherboard, Apple had replaced my iPhone for even minor problems and I think a phone with a replaced motherboard will have its own problems in due course!

Has anyone else in India faced a similar problem? What did LG do and who I can contact to get this resolved? Thanks!
[G4 General] One Twelve:
I suspect its a bad memory chip. The chip is soldered onto the board. Therefore a new motherboard is required.

Can you tell us what are the first three digits of the serial# of your phone ? look on the box. Starts with 5, what are the next two digits.

Which does not mean it is common. It has happened to a few devices around the world. If you consider the many tens of thousands of G4's sold around the world.

Only the carriers give replacements. There is nothing wrong with a swapped mobo so long as the problem is solved. Its a quick job, the longest bit is waiting for the mobo to arrive. Very easy to do repairs on the G4 unlike others which are glued and can entail damage to the build.

Update us when the job is done so we get an idea of the time involved.
[G4 General] rahulkale:
Hi thanks for your reply. The Serial# starts with 505.

Do you mean its ok to use a phone with a replaced motherboard? Sorry this hasnt happened before so just not sure what this is all about....
[G4 General] One Twelve:
That's the first batch, 505 means May 2015. There have been reports of boot loop with this batch from users in other countries.

There are people with that serial# with no problems too.

don't see why not. LG will replace it under warranty.

People have got their devices back and problem was solved. The annoying bit is the time it takes to get the replacement mobo, could be up to a month or just a couple of weeks. The actual replacement is a ten minute affair.

Check the serial# of the replacement mobo though.

Anker 3200mAh replacement battery

I'd recommend reviewing the Anker 3200mAh note 3 battery. I decided to get a replacement for my 1.5+ year old stock battery and this was the one that was getting the best ratings for the least money. At first I was disappointed, as it didn't seem like there was much if any improvement over the old stock battery. However, after a few weeks I was noticing significant improvement. I decided to try consciously squeeze the longest life I could out of it during my 24 hour shift. I was shocked with the results.

I'm running 4.4.2, rooted, with various battery saving modules in xposed including greenify, wakelock terminator and some features in wanam. I haven't really done much else. I leave 4G, wifi, gps and bluetooth on all the time because I'm too lazy to switch them on/off, brightness is on auto, but I also have screen filter for night time. I have multiple adblockers in place, dunno if that has any effect. I changed most options to display black background if possible. I feel like I use my device fairly heavily. Tethered for a few hours, watched several hours of HD video, torrented a large file from a friend, dozens of texts, a terrible 20 minute phone call, my screen timeout is set at 5 minutes... so yeah. I'm quite impressed with this battery, would recommend to anyone looking to replace their old battery. It's not quite as good as the battery life when I first bought it but it was a virgin device back then with a whole lot less going on and I have a feeling it would stack up well with the official sammy battery.

Hello All,

I am developing a simple window phone 8.1 application which need to go through registration process and for this registration process I want to use Phone number and IMEI number.

But recent document from Microsoft and Other knows sources have mentioned both Phone number and IMEI number API from Microsoft has been removed and we will not be able to get hold of these values due to security and privacy reasons.

I am using C#, Visual Studio 2013 Express edition for this application development.

Well, if this is the case what recommendation can you provide us for registration process which is simple and easy. Based on this registration processor the user will get notifications he/she has opted for. Hence we need the phone number which needs to be captured.

Also, everyone's question is how Viber, WhatsApp and other messaging application how are they doing it?

Kind regards,
