Benchmarks won't show the really benefits. The device is really smooth and can open apps as fast as any other flagship. I mean the camera app can open in 0.6 secs and take a phot at the same time. If you do not care about superficial numbers the device won't disappoint as a daily driver.

Wrong thread
[G4 General] Ace42:
The scores aren't surprising. The G4 will have only 2 A57s compared to the S6, and the GPU is noticeably different from the 810. There's also LDDR3 in the G4 while the S6 uses LDDR4 & a very fast eMMc chip.

In normal usage I imagine most won't notice the core count. Because of the G4's high price I hope someone can compare its speed side by side with a zenfone 2 or even another Snapdragon 615/800/805/etc.

Currently using LG G2 and bit disappointed when I see poorest battery result from G3 so skip and since than waiting for G4, I am Enthusiast photographer and using Nikon D7100 with costliest Sigma £596 for lens only with F1.8 fo it’s very interesting to see how £750 DSLR + £596 lens compared with G4 or P8 LOL, I know that recent techno is not even nearby DSLR quality, I would surely buy if Camera and battery of G4 perform better than Huawei P8, I don't believe or worry much in benchmarks figure as most of them are not noticeable in real life, As I don't play high graphics intense game, I believe LG must have done through test before choosing 808 and if it for better battery life against figures than I prefer Battery life, I am absolutely pleased with performance, Screen quality, Earphone sound of G2 if it would have been released exact thing in recent time I would still prefer to buy, When I see S6 live particularly in gold/silver colour it seems to me as really overdone and cheap design, it remind me things when in 2010-11 when lot of folks specially girls prefer to put shiny and mirror looking screen protector in from of their iPhone so they do makeup on the go, S6 is less than evolution and glass and reflective things is not a big achievement or breakthrough BTW it’s subjective matter and I know more crowd following iPhone/Samsung trend than LG but I don't want to join unwise and hypnotized crowd, I think design wise P8 is better than S6 but still can't decide which one look better P8 or G4?
[G4 General] BillyxAllen:
There is a benchmark video out. The G3 is right next to the G4 while the G4s score wasn't amazingly high it was still a decent score for a flagship and it was leaps and bounds faster than the poor G3. The link is below. Sad fact, it scores better than my G Flex 2. More than likely because of thermal throttling :/

Not good?

I read "First impressions are good, the Korean manufacturer seems to have made the right choices, abandoning the Snapdragon 810 and developing its own photo sensor."

I don't sweet these at all. I want to use it in my hand and see myself as that is more real than anything.
[G4 General] Jonfensu:
According with Qualcomm:

Adreno 418 (S808): 20% better than 330

Adreno 420 (S805): 40% better than 330

Adreno 430 (S810): 70-80% better than 330

Overall, The S805 is better than S808 in heavy tasks but I understand the 64bit thing marketing. Bad choice by LG going with S808
[G4 General] jeky82:
Too me, the benchmarks here look fine. If you look at the T-Rex and Manhattan tests for the onscreen (the tests that matter) the G4 is only 6 and 2 fps behind the S6 (the only smartphone with the same resolution) :)
[G4 General] i9100g user:
That 6 and 2 fps may translate into bigger differences in real world gaming performance as GFX benchmark is a unrealistically heavy GPU benchmark.

Btw its still a 18% over the adreno 330 in G3 , so if you were fine with G3's performance then G4's graphic performance at least should not be a concern.
[G4 General] thekoRngear:
You just echoed my mind. If I see the G4 that way [compared to G3] the benchmark stuffs should not be much of a headache/nightmare.
[G4 General] rushless:
Until we have a true lens zoom phone (kind of physically hard to do), I am not a big fan of using phones for main photos. Nothing cracks me up more though than the media or some posters talking about photography and then actually review the digital zoom on phones, which is literally just digital zooming of the original focal point. No different than taking the picture and later post zooming the pictures.

The gpu in the 801 choked with 1440p and one of the reasons for the heat, judder and battery life impact. The 808's gpu can handle 1440p and is within the mean of it's threshold of performance, but the 801 was at the very top of it's ceiling for 1440p- hence the issues. Well, that and the gosh awful lcd technology used for the the display on the G3. LG took a semi efficient 1080p design and shrunk it to a very inefficient 1440p on the G3.

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

What else could they do besides wait about six more months? Apple and Samsung have secured most other chipset fab production and the only other option is the second tier chips that are in the cheaper devices. The road map was to use the 810, but the poor thermals with the 810 resulted in going with the 808 (810 light). The other option was go with the 805, but spec chasing will not allow that. The 808 was a compromise, but LG is hoping the design and camera offsets this for the spec and media hounds.

Qualcomm riding shotgun at the LG press event was very telling of the heat the chipset maker is in right now.

Looks better because the HTC one M9 is missing.
[G4 General] Swetnes:
Was it just me or did the G4 burn through the benchmark faster than any of the other phones even though it started last? What's with that? Is it a difference in user (interface) difference? Does this translate to a better performing phone overall that cannot be quantified with a benchmark?

Sent from my LG-D800
[G4 General] BillyxAllen:
I noticed that and was wondering the same thing tbh
[G4 General] BillyxAllen:
Any significant reason why it finished the test faster? I'm hoping this device will open apps without any lag. That's the main thing I hate. If I open an app I want it to be fast/instant, which is what I'm hoping an optimized android like this will do.

Side question. If I disable two of the A57 cores in an 810 would that solve thermal issues? Wondering if it's worth my time to do
[G4 General] rohit25:
In theory it should do.... I suppose there is a kernel in the m9 thread for disabling the cores....
[G4 General] BillyxAllen:
Thanks! :D. I'll look into it. I have a G Flex 2 though v.v
[G4 General] Sachinfan:
As a G3 owner, I am giving this a pass and would be buying the S6 when my father allows it (lolz). I got sucked in with the very same features : QHD Screen and a great camera.

But to be honest, G3 failed to wow me like S2 and M7 did and I see G4 not wowing me either.

Now, I don't mind a few benchmarking hiccups, but with S6 being of same price and offering everything top-notch, minus removable battery and SD card slot, G4 being "ok" for a flagship doesn't do justice to it's price.

LG today launched GFlex-2 at about same price as S6 edge 32 gb in India and I was left stunned! I think G4 would be priced similar to S6 and frankly it doesn't command the same price.

Can anyone tell me how to enable tethering on stock? None of our roms are quite cutting it for me, but I want tethering.

Have you tried PdaNet+?
[HTC Desire 510] Bobby060:
Yeah, it doesn't work. None of the root tethering apps or the nonroot ones work. I want to know what the rom developers did so I can try to repeat that by editing my system.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorkde:
Hi,

I got root and actual backups.

Sometimes my Wigets or App Icons get lost from desktop (mostly Widgets).

Which file/database contains those Widget placement so I can restore it? (4.4.2)

Since this happens quite often and I mostly don't know where which Widget was...

Anybody who can help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
They are stored in the data partition for the app using them. This normally happens of the app is on the sdcard which should never be done.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorkde:
But often all Widgets get lost the same time and they are NOT all on the SD in my case.

So there must be any other Place where the allover placement is saved
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
The layout for then are stored in the launcher files. You don't have your lather on sd card do you?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorkde:
No I don't, got Phoenix rom which has the Samsung Launcher, do you know which file exactly has the Layout?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorkde:
Phoenix 9.4
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
No I dont. It is different for each launcher and I stopped using touch wiz many years ago due to it being unstable
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorkde:
Anyone?

Which Launcher do u use now?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I use either Nova or action launcher. Nova is the over all best launcher if you were to ask anyone here. Most people use that one.

Hello everyone,

I am making an app for android, in this I need to know some data of the active wifi connection, such as network type and encryption used, as shown in the image.

Information as if WEP, WPA, WPA2 and TKIP or AES encryption

I tried with android.net.wifi and within wificonfiguration classes and their different methods, they return me a set of information, but is not always valid, however as shown by the android itself in the properties of the connection if is true forever.

Thank you very much.

Att,

[Android Studio] cristaccio85:
Most probably you have already found answer: currentWifi.getSSID() is quoted in most cases where scanResult.SSID is not (and of course you must not use == on strings :)).

Try something like this, it returns current SSID or null:

public static String getCurrentSsid(Context context) {
String ssid = null;
ConnectivityManager connManager = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo networkInfo = connManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);
if (networkInfo.isConnected()) {
final WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
final WifiInfo connectionInfo = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo();
if (connectionInfo != null && !StringUtil.isBlank(connectionInfo.getSSID())) {
ssid = connectionInfo.getSSID();
}
}
return ssid;
}

also permissions are required:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

StringUtil is not a standard Android class, so you can use TextUtils instead. The code then looks like this:

public static String getCurrentSsid(Context context) {
String ssid = null;
ConnectivityManager connManager = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo networkInfo = connManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);
if (networkInfo.isConnected()) {
final WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
final WifiInfo connectionInfo = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo();
if (connectionInfo != null && !TextUtils.isEmpty(connectionInfo.getSSID())) {
ssid = connectionInfo.getSSID();
}
}
return ssid;
}

Please let me know if I can flash a custom rom using Odin? I have a rooted S5. Flashed 2 roms and now stuck on rebooting. Cant access Philz Recovery only Odin. I'm trying to flash Alliance Rom.

[General Questions and Answers] zombunny:
As the title says, I was making a tasker profile to give my camera button permission to lock and unlock the device. I also allowed the Secure Settings plugin to be installed into the system. Now, when I boot the phone, the display stays on for a very short amount of time. Ive tried to QUICKLY get to tasker right away to turn off the profile, but I never have quite enough time before the screen goes black. Then, pressing the unlock button only flashes the screen for a second, the camera button does nothing. USB debugging should still be enabled, thankfully. It's a Sony Xperia z1s. How can I get to tasker and secure settings to remove both and start over?

Edit: Have enough time to boot into safe mode, but then it continuously says " unfortunately, initialbootsetup has stopped"

I cant factory reset, I dont have a nandroid. Please help and tell me I havent completely screwed my phone. :(

Hello everyone!

Okay like the title says.. I've researching these forums and the rest of the interwebs for about 4 hours and I just can't get this done..

I've rooted devices before, installed custom roms etc.

But now I have used Chainfire's Autoroot a while ago, decided to try to go back to stock rom for original updates.

So what I did was go into the SU Binary -> settings -> (complete or full) Unroot

It appearently uninstalled my SU Binary as it was supposed to I guess.

But in my download boot menu it still says it's a custom rom!

To make a long story short, is there anyone who could tell me, if possible step by step, how I can Completely unroot my device, so I can normally update from a stock rom etc.

Ooh my phone's info is:

Samsung Galaxy Note 3

SM-9005 (I guess)

Android v4.4.2

No SU Binary but still a custom rom.. (although 've never flashed anything)

Thanks in advance

I really hope someone can help me! =)

Greetings,

Thursten

Hi,

Sorry if this has been posted before, can't find anything on it but not sure what I should be searching for. I've just received a replacement Orbit from O2, it boots up ok but doesn't seem to be able to get a phone signal even though I know I'm in a good signal area. Been on for about 2 hours but all I get is the searching icon. Anybody know what's wrong with it?

Thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mrhaddock:
just one other thing, when the phone boots up what should it show in the top left, i.e IPL/SPL/GSM/OS.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] itschase:
Sorry if this is obvious and redundant -

But have you tried various levels of resetting the phone from a simple power on/off all the way to a hard reset? Also, are you able to access SIM features like stored contacts?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mrhaddock:
Tried removing battery/sim/sd card soft reset. Just tried restoring from SPB backup and now device gets stuck at the green "Direct Push Technology" screen. What keys do a hard reset?

Cheers
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] itschase:
Hold down the two 'soft keys' they are the ones directly to the left and right of the chrome wheel towards the top are of it. Keep holding them down while you use your stylus to press the resessed reset button on the bottom left side of the phone. Keep holding the soft keys until the phone displays a message for you to confirm by pushing the green 'talk' key. this will put your phone back into the smae state it was when it was new in the box, you will have to do the screen aligning and all that BS....

Hopefully this works for you. Otherwise I would suspect faulty hardware.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] epmulligan:
Send it back..if it's a replacement then it too is fubar and you shouldn't try and "fix" it...ring them from a landline and tell them to drop a new unit and collect the "replacement".
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] itschase:
Why not try and 'fix' it? Thats half the purpose of this board. I know the company is liable for sending a defective unit, but if he can get it working on his own then more power to him.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] epmulligan:
Agreed....but I too have had a "replacement" orbit from O2 which had more problems then the one I sent back...I think they "recycle" the returned phones when they consider them fixed!! That is only reason to send it back...after that come here and learn how to make it sing !!
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mrhaddock:
Cheers for the help people, rang O2 and it turned out it was a refurb and had been blocked off the network. Do have one other issue with it, when I receive a text and try to reply its trying to send as an email. Rang O2 and they didn't know how to sort it, anyone here know?

I had to install Ubuntu on an old hard drive and install the free virtual machine version of windows 7 from Microsoft into virtualbox . Just to get the drivers to work and to be able to flash the device in download mode. Just a tip for getting it into download mode. Plug in the usb cable, get the charge screen up and power it on, and then hold down the volume button. Keep doing this and eventually it will jump into download mode. Once you do that follower other peoples instructions for Odin here. This is what I had to do because I was using Windows 10 but you can completely legally and for free setup a virtual box of windows 7 in Ubuntu to fix stuff like this. It took me a week to find that out.

So my Exhibit is now working like brand new. I just think I should learn how to swap the external drive for the internal because the storage capacity is very small.

Hello guys, today I was playing around with my phone and noticed how poorly Facebook apps were made. I mean like, they both are taking my ram usage over 400 mb so I decided to find alternative.

While roaming through play store I found application called Disa, I installed and and I must say that I was shocked.

First of all this application looks amazing, blessed with material design goodness. Secondly, it's lightweight and also you can receive your sms and mms, WhatsApp and Facebook messenger text messages all in one app (disa).

While using this app I noticed improvements in battery life, but I think that's placebo.
