Since u got both note 4 and lg g4 can u just use note 4 charger with g4 to see whether quick charge 2.0 works with note 4 charger since qc 2.0 charger is not included in the original packaging.
[G4 General] kannanX10:
sorry i don't cross charge devices but g4 took around 95mins to charge from 8 to 100%
[G4 General] Slim Shady:
no actually if the quick charge feature works with note 4 charger it will show green color led and if this works atleast we know a quick charge working charger we can use with g4 since the charger included with g4 is stock not the qc charger.

But replacing the digitiser is cheap. have not seen any dissaembly videos for it though. usually they also get the lcd which means much more.

Only thin piece of rear glass which is as thin as a tempered Glass screen protector looks like rupeese 500 thing. With a golden color plastic mirror like tape match to mobile cover . cost 8000 approx + 5 days waiting and 3 times visits. new glass have small scratch in manufacturing

Fron screen with edge cost 17000 rupee to replce

Aren't there wireless charging ports available in the dual sim device ?

you should see them near the battery.

No there are not any ports in device with dual sim. Same place have second sim slot . you can say， in single sim have wireless points where second sim slot in dual verson

Im tempted to buy this phone. I have a S6 32 gb version. Don't like touchwiz at all. Only reason im wanting this phones is its a high end dual sim phone(currently carring two phones). Also it runs a snapdragon processor so it will get custom rom support much quicker. LG is also releasing a tool to unlock the bootlocker. Is the G4 worth switching? Or should i just wait for the next Nexus? [MENTION=1521525]deepforest[/MENTION] how much did you manage to sell your edge for? ANd how much do you expect i will get for my s6?
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Umm, the ports i saw in reviews were midway down near the battery not where the second sim is placed. Look for four pins.

Could you take a photo and post here of the back, if you don't mind. i would be very surprised if those ports are not there.

The middle eastern version is dual too and has those ports.
[G4 General] deepforest:
My galaxy s6 edge 64 gb back cracked . it is very delicate be careful so i repair it @7800. Samsung has very bad service quality. So i sold my s6 edge 64 gb 45000 only . because in my city apready many people sold it so i lost 65000- 45000 = 20000

And i buy g4 49000

Its better than s6 as i find.

Battery life is still not good. Same as s6

But after some update it may better

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

In Hong kong both single and dual sim available but here both sims r 4G

Here Circle covers for both versions available.

Single sim cover has extra two pins for wireless coil

But dual sim cover dont have

I see both out of box. Cant send pic

Yes i seen that in indian version there r four pin available .

Two for NFC and two may be for wireless charging.

May be in future or in india new circle cover will be available with charging

Or may be indian cover is capable of WC
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Underlined part is the most important. the indian version of the G4 is capable of wireless charging as it has the ports.

The circle cover may support it, if not then alternatives can be found. But the G4 indian version will work with wireless charging with a back cover that support WC.

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

You said this earlier and i'm disappointed to hear that. samsung is known for having many service centres. You do not think twice with samsung compared to local brands.

ridiculous price you had to pay just to replace the glass. how could they charge so much. without changing the back rear housing. I take it there was no free repair for 6 months ? i remember such an offer for S5. There is one for G4 too but only for the first six months.

ideally you should not have had to pay anything. But backglass is not the same as screen i suppose (!)
[G4 General] deepforest:
Galaxy s6 edge screen cost Rs 17000 or more to replace

And who buu after 6th may they cant change screen free of cost.

While LG G4 screen replacement cost only 6400 and free for first time

Back of S6 cost 7800 and very delicate

But LG G4 back u cant break it. Or its just cover to replace byself to any color

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

Back glass is as thin as a tempered glass protector.

It has color tape stick inside like Gold white black or sapphire blue .

And many phone backs have inside spots. Like mine after change to new one

[G4 General] MarkSDCA:
Hey there...I have both the G3 and now for one week the G4....love both of these phones. But since I go back and forth to India a lot and use different sized sim cards I have to warn you NOT TO USE ADAPTERS whenever possible. I would say if you have a nano sim card just try to insert it one one side of the sim tray without an adapter. Why? I have broken too many phones this way. The small gap in the adapter between the nano sim and the adapter is enough to grab the sim tray pins when you remove the sim card. It can cause non-reversible damage. It happened to my Moto G 2 and luckily the replacement was a plug-in but on the LG the sim tray is soldered to the motherboard.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Thx for the heads up this is something i've always been worried about, to date i've always used sims that were the size of the slot.

However the G4 has a micro sim and airtel says only nano sims work on 4g. Why ? i don't know. Otherwise a micro sim can only access 3G.

Check out this

video

.

In the past you had the choice of mini, micro, nano. if you wanted to use them elsewhere you had to use an adapter.

Now they've caught up with the rest of the world offering a sim that has plastic that snaps off to fit the device you have.

Do you see any problems with the new sim offered in that video ? There will be gaps as you can't snap off the nano bit but they seem very small.

Ideally what is required is a 4g sim in micro sim form factor without any gaps. No such product exists yet.
[G4 General] MarkSDCA:
Just be careful that there are no gaps on the adapter between the sim and the adapter itself. Also try to use some double stick tape or something to keep the sim card stuck inside the adapter. when you remove the adapter from the phone sometimes the sim card can come loose and that can be enough to grab onto the pins and break them. Again, if you have a nano sim and you need to insert into a micro sim slot...try doing it first WITHOUT an adapter. You might find that it fits nicely on the right side of the slot and it won't shift around most likely.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
This is the best thing to do i think. Easiest and simple as well. Easier still is to just stick with my proper micro sim and screw 4G. you can watch vids in hd on 3g anyway. I don't do it but thats what 5-7Mbs will pull without buffering. Upload speeds can be terrible though. if you're just consuming 3g is good enough. need to upload ? then 4g becomes essential.

What an engineering challenge this is. Those pins need to be stiff enough to hold the card in place, but because they are so stiff they likely penetrate any gap.
[G4 General] MarkSDCA:
I wish cell phone sim trays were like dongle sim trays....the dongles seem to be built of a much higher gauge of metal and are far more durable.

[G4 General] One Twelve:
Can you mention the SOT's you got with G4 compared to note 4 & S6 ?

L has screwed the battery life of most flagships out there. xperia, OPO, note 4 get less battery on L than they did with KK. To the point where i've seen note 4 or OPO users not having probs with G4 battery.

Kinda ironic considering a year back after google I/O we were hearing statements like 30% more battery life with L (!).

Hi,

From where did you source this?

Whats the price?

I saw G4 retailing at around Rs 35k from JADO PADO (UAE). Its H818P version.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

Its confusing matter. I raised querry of whether H818N is capable of wireless charging in

"DUAL SIM LG G4 Thread"

and got answer that ITS NOT capable.

Can any one confirm whether INdian H818N version supports wireless charging or not?

If ye, which is the compatible case? From where to source it?

Thx
[G4 General] One Twelve:
requires a photo of the back. and compare with ones that support qi.

Then all you need is a qi sticker +nfc. No ned for compatible case, it will work with the one you have. You then have to find a charging dock.

all of this is theoretical for now.
[G4 General] joshiks7:
Thanks a lot
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Decided to research this further and am finding that you are right :(

The reason is explained if you see the attachment of this

post

. The actual wireless charging pins are NOT PRESENT AT ALL as LG could not fit it along with the dual sim ie no space on the mother board most likely. Therefore no case or sticker can ever enable wireless charging on the H818(N or P) variants. But those pins ARE PRESENT on the single sim vairnats and hence a sticker will work.

Went looking for videos and grabbed frames of the back.

This is the H818N (Indian variant) one can see those pins between the 2nd sim and battery are not present.

This is the H818P variant and again those charging pins are absent. So only NFC is supported on both variants.

So is this a deal breaker ? dual sim can be very useful maybe more so than wireless charging provided you are not dependent or very used to wireless charging. For people living in the 4 big metros, moment they leave the city they are out of their circle and are roaming. So dual sim = no roaming charges and is more valuable than wireless charging. It also means no need for two phones.

How many other flagships offer dual sim to date ?

Dual sim means more battery consumption especially if signal isn't good, for that there is a spare battery and fast charging.

it remains to be verified whether fast charging works on the H818 vairants. Can anybody confirm ?
[G4 General] joshiks7:
Hi.

Very well said. Dual SIM does not support wireless charging.

Dual SIM flagships are rare in India. Sole reason of mine to pick up G4 is Dual SIM function with flagship features.

Most likely dual SIM G4 should support quick charging. I have ordered Aukey qualcomm certified fast 2.0 charger from Ali express. Expected to arrive within next few weeks. Shall update.

[G4 General] joshiks7:
Received Aukey 2.0 qualcomm certified charger from Ali express. Unfortunately sealing cover of USB cable had cut but wires inside are intact so applied tape , its working. Tried charging G4 from 20% to 90%. Initial half an hour charge gain was 40% and later half an hour charged phone with additional 30%. Does it qualify for 2.0 charging? Or charger is faulty?

Or else do we must have 0% charged (means totally discharged phone) so that charger works effectively at 2% per minute to achieve claim of 60% in 30 min.

I didnot find noticeable or significant difference in charging speed of Aukey and stock G4 charger.

Am i missing something?
[G4 General] One Twelve:
can you post the link for the device ?
[G4 General] joshiks7:
http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6747458405.html?orderId=67917990961724

Purchased from Aukey flagship store at Ali express which is mentioned as official store on Aukey website too.

Thx
[G4 General] One Twelve:
QC only works up to 60% after 60% it charges at the non-qc or normal rate so as not to damage the battery.

To verify if your aukey is working. Do two tests, say 10-60% with aukey and another 10-60% with stock charger.

Make sure screen is off and you are not doing anything while it is charging.

How long does it take with aukey vs stock ?
[G4 General] joshiks7:
Thx. Shall update by tomorrow.
[G4 General] joshiks7:
Aukey 2.0 charger juiced up G4 from 10 to 40% in 30 min . Means 1% per min.

Stock G4 charger charged G4 from 10 to 40% in 35 min. Means 0.8% per min.

Are Aukey claims of its fast 2.0 charger false (?). Reviews on AMAZON USA about Aukey are MIXED. Users reported many issues.

If G4 DUAL SIM H818N supports qualcomm fast charging technology, then which is relaible/trusted brand of 2.0 charger?

Has anybody on XDA has used and confirm 0 to 60% charging speed in half an hour? If yes, kindly let us know brand please.

yes,s6 and note4 chargers are same
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Since you have both did the samsung charger work to quick charge the G4 ?
[G4 General] kannanX10:
I never tried charging g4 with the Samsung charger
[G4 General] joshiks7:
Tested Aukey charger again with G4 from 10 to 60% charge gain. On two occasions it charged phone with 1.2-1.3% per min speed. Little faster than stock charger, but not consistent with 2.0 technology. Possibly G4 is NOT fully capable of utilizing quick charge.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
G4 is capable of quick charging there are people in the referred thread that have done it. But for some reason Aukey seems unable to up the voltage required for a quick charge. It needs to get up to 7V and does not get there.

When i look at this more i don't see much use of QC for me. I charge my devices to 90% and when they drop to 40 charge them again. That means QC only benefits from 40-60. I try not to deep discharge LiPo's when i can, going from 90-10 say is when QC will make a bigger difference. From a battery longevity pov wireless charging is easier and less stressful on a battery.

but it ain't there and one can replace batteries. so QC has a use to get back from a low level.

How are you finding battery life on the G4 btw. What is your average SOT ?

Finally my Display failed after 4 months, with half of the display working fine and other half just scrolls or goes blank. Purchased the unit from Infibeam. Seems like similar Verizon recall issue. Took it to the service centre and they said, its a motherboard issue. They are expecting a replacement board in 7 days time..... So hope this is one off case and other Indian G4 units are not affected by this hardware issue. Just wanted to keep everyone updated on this issue...

ok, that makes things more clear now.

Am not too bothered with these things as repairing the G4 is so easy and not that expensive compared with other flagships :)

[G4 General] vin_eme:
have not rooted at all.....i was using as a normal one...not sure where this DPI setting would be....
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Point being it should have taken just a factory reset to fix ?

since you're at the service centre can you ask them if they have those replaceable leather backs in other colours and the cost of each.

[G4 General] One Twelve:
Any news from the service centre ?
[G4 General] vin_eme:
Yep, since the motherboard would take 2-3 weeks, i escalated this issue to the HO and they authorized for a new handset replacement. But again that caught into a problem, where they said, the service centre cannot own up the online purchased handset replacement. Again, after speaking to HO that got sorted out. So i might get the new handset in another few days :( .... overall a month of frustration... Very Bad LG service support...
