I have the grey plastic version. I was sent this yesterday as part of a Youtubers reviewer trial. I'm loving it so far. The model I recieved didnt come with the final software and a non retail packaging box. Just a charging brick and micro usb wire. Anyone have questions or any fellow youtubers or trial testers.
[G4 General] partylikeaninjastar:
How does the back feel compared to the G3? To me, the G3 is very slippery. Also compared to the G3, with the G4 being slightly larger and slightly curved, would you say that it's a more or less comfortable feel in hand?

With the screen off, double tapping the volume down button opens the camera. Is holding or double tapping the volume up button still Q Memo or is it another shortcut?

Specifically, which apps are enabled for use with the QSlide and Dual Window modes?
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
"didnt come with the final software" - how do you know this? Do they tell you? Please post any software version numbers - and any other version numbers on hardware and system software - you have so we can see what it compares to when it hits final retail release.

Are you USA? Who is your provider?

Did you have a choice for leather or just take what they send?

Do they give any indication of a date when the trail ends?

What is the battery size? I read today T-Mobile is NOT 3000 but 2900 oddly.
[G4 General] daboyal006:
I had the original Optimus G and G2, i skipped on the G3 but I have held it before. This one definitely has a better grip because of the diamond pattern and doesnt feel slippery at all.I believe the feel in the hand is great.The curve, you have to get used to, but i like it.

Yes double tapping volume launches the camera and double clicking the volume up launches q-memo.

I screen shot some pics for you for the other questions.

[MENTION=5093937]daboyal006[/MENTION], I'd like to thank you in advance:

Would you consider the G4 the most fast, stable and force close free Phone or Tablet you have?

How long does it take to fully charge it from almost dead to full?

Have you tried a 3rd party launcher like Nova Launcher or Apex in case there is any lag?

From 1 to 10 how would you rate the device as of now?

Any negatives that you can think of owning the G4?

Would you recommend the G4 over the Galaxy S6 or other flagship device at this time?

.: sent from my 'Android til I die' phone or tablet
[G4 General] daboyal006:
I attached a picture of the software build etc. And yes I was told by a LG rep that this is unfinal software.

Born and raised in USA

My model is 3000 Mah

I have Verizon and T-Mobile but Its a GSM phone. I believed we were given the Korean model because the keyboard was in Korean from first bootup.

Im a up and comer Youtuber that runs Phone Tech At Work. Check us out.(Like and Subscribe) lol. Not the best but definitely working on it. LG gives chances to the small timers which I now respect LG even more now.

We didnt have a choice of the backs.

They said trial, but with the Youtuber people. I was told we can keep the device.
[G4 General] daboyal006:
I wish I can answer all your questions but its a little bit to early for a full opinion. Ive had it for about 25 hours. I actually have a S6 also(picture enclosed) .

The iPhone 6 is the most lag free phone I have but thats another story. Between the G4,S6, and the M9 I just recently returned. The M9 is definitely the most fast to me. The S6 is slowing down a little after a couple of months of use. The G4 would be second to the M9 in quickness of launching apps and non lag. But the better overall phone between the G4 and M9 so far is the G4. Between the G4 and the S6 in the overall battle is up for testing first because theyre really neck and neck. Unless you just want a bigger screen with the G4.

I charged it overnight from 0 percent and I fell asleep waiting for it to get fully charged. Lol

Lagging is definitely NOT what Im seeing now, but thats because I installed about 8 apps so far and I didnt get carrier bloat because its a unlocked model. I need to put some more memory into it first.

Force close has not happened yet. I havent tried a launcher just yet because there isnt any lag to even try one yet.

The camera is pretty amazing and I believe in my early testing better then the S6 camera. Especially with your own manual settings.

As of right now I give it a solid 9 (for now) because I love the look of the phone and the specs,screen,camera, and the curve but it cannot be perfect without further testing.
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
"Lag free is definitely NOT what Im seeing now" - I'm not so sure what you typed is what you meant. I hope not as that sentence implies you DO see lag and it is NOT lag free. I think you added a "free" where it should not be.
[G4 General] daboyal006:
Haha ! It's NOT lagging is what I meant ..I'll edit
[G4 General] daboyal006:
Someone asked me in my inbox if ;okay google" from any screen is still possible since it was removed from the S6..check the picture.Its still intact
[G4 General] omersak:
Thanks for that! That makes the decision that much harder for me.

How do you find the LG UI skin in style and function compared to the S6? S6 has gone pretty clean and minimal and the G4 is still cluttered (biggest difference in both approaches can be seen in the Music app)

Thanks again!
[G4 General] daboyal006:
You pretty much answered your own question. Lol

I Agree with you but the whole theming thing that Samsung and HTC is doing is really great. LG should of did it too. But you can't have it all.
[G4 General] grrrr_unt:
How do you find the "metallic" plastic back? Would you have preferred leather?
[G4 General] daboyal006:
Honestly, I did want the leather because it's different and more eye catching.

I still like the one I have though . It's a hard plastic with a diamond shaped backing for grip for your fingers.

If anything, sooner or later they'll make third party removable backs on ebay or amazon in the near future that I can purchase of any material.

[MENTION=5093937]daboyal006[/MENTION] :

There has been different reviews if the LG G4 has quick charge capability. Is there anyway you can use a quick charge cable with the phone to confirm if this is true or not. Perhaps you can use the one if you have it on hand for your M8.

Quick Charge link:

pocket-lint.com/news/132825-quick-charge-2-0-what-is-it-and-why-do-you-need-it

LG G4 example as below:

Boredatwork also has a great video review. Screenshots indicate quick charge 2.0 capability which many have not mentioned in other reviews.

Oh really, lets see right now

I will test it out now, I have a quick charger from my S6.

20% at 11:05 ETD ..will edit post with results

Update:

11:54 ETD.. 75%

12:42...98% ..ehh

55% in 49 min...But the end of the charging time it gets slow.

Pretty fast in my opinion until the end of the charge. I didnt use the phone and screen was off.
[G4 General] ivneetsingh:
Is it worth upgrading from g3 ? It's still working great for me
[G4 General] daboyal006:
I never had the G3, one of the only phones I kept going back and forth about purchasing. I had the original Optimus G and G2 though. But based on what I've seen in G3 reviews and matter of opinion. This is a good upgrade if you want a better camera, the display is better and the Snapdragon 808 processor is optimized for battery and warming up issues then the 805. Also, if you can get your hands on the leather options, personal style is definitely worth the upgrade.
[G4 General] onlinejobwork:
Is that any option to disable or enable tap to wake and camera OIS? any battery saving feature ? How is signal strength of radio quality ? is audio quality better than any recent phone ? Except M9
[G4 General] ivneetsingh:
Thanks for the quick reply, looks like I'll wait and see how much is it priced and how much will be able to sell my g3 for, how's the display in direct sunlight, g3 suffers from this as the screen is really dull in terms of color and overall brightness
[G4 General] daboyal006:
Results updated above ^
[G4 General] Fir3blade:
What about the display, does it have some kind of tint (yellowish, greenish,...)?

On some videos I saw the display seemed to have a yellowish display...
[G4 General] daboyal006:
I dont see a way to disable tap to wake.

Does it have OIS:Yes

Option to disable OIS: Not that I see

Battery Saving Option: Yes (Check Pic Attached)

Signal Strength: I've been using it on Wifi for 2 days but I will start using my TMobile sim later today.

Audio: Surprisingly loud speaker but still facing the wrong way lol .. louder then the iPhone 6 in my personal opinion. It sounds great to me and I did have the M9,M8, and M7.

Voice Quality : Havent tested yet.
[G4 General] daboyal006:
Im not seeing any problems yet but now that you point it out, I'll keep my eyes open for it and I'll update this post.
[G4 General] legend221:
These are really great results. Thanks for confirming it with us it's up there with Samsung Galaxy S6. Wow this is great news. Here is the comparison link below against the current flagship Phones and Tablets.

How is the battery life?
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
This could end up being carrier specific much like verizon did with the z3v Versus z3 & wireless charging on their version.
[G4 General] legend221:
Thanks for raining in our parade mate. But I see quick charge was also on the Z3V. We are hopeful we get this enabled as well on the Verizon version. As below:

"- Wireless Charging (Qi-enabled)

- Fast battery charging: 60% in 30 min (Quick Charge 2.0)"

Source : http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z3v-6796.php
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
The Z3 did not have wireless charging.

The verizon Z3v did.

I was using that just to say for quick charging it could be there or not based on provider specs. Just like I've read the most often seen brown tan leather is T-Mobile carrier specific.
[G4 General] legend221:
Got it, was interpreting the reply the other way around.
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/05/lg-g4-review-more-than-competent-but-less-than-stunning/

This review says NO quick charging.

"there's no wireless charging or quick charging here" - not sure who the carrier is. So I am reading a TON of contradictory info on both quick & wireless charging.
[G4 General] Swetnes:
From what I understand wireless charging is only available with LG's quickcircle case. As far as quick charge yes and no, with the included power adapter it takes a little longer from 0 to 50% but faster from 50 to 100%. So in the end it's about a wash. LG calls it fast charge. The phone doesn't officially support Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 so they cannot call it quick charge, but it's equivalent.

[G4 General] daboyal006:
"RAISES HAND"

Well my G4 does not have wireless charging out the box. But I see the prongs in the back for a case to get wireless charging.

As far as quick charge, read my older post where I do my own test with a S6 Fast charger and it's quick for the first half but slower in the second half.
[G4 General] poczynek:
For the millionth time the g4 has wireless charging capability!
[G4 General] daboyal006:
Keyword is "Capability"

Someone is getting their words mixed up somewhere in the topic lol
[G4 General] legend221:
They need a compatible charger to try in the 1st place. It's already proven that it has Quick Charge at least on the models that many reviewers have in their hand right now.

Screen dim level

Everyone totes about the brightness, but I have a quick question. I've played with the S6 in store and it gets way dark, but obviously not the G4 yet, and was wondering how dim the screen gets in the dark in comparison since you have both? I'm still rocking a DNA and it really blinds you in the night. Almost need some shades :cool:

Can anyone make kernels which support more CPU governors,I/O schedulers for better CPU management for our device ? Is this possible ?

Thanks in advance:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] hdbueller:
Hi all.

Well, I made the jump from the Hermes to the Athena.....and it is a great device. One thing that I miss was the assortment of comm manager configurations that were available for the Hermes.

My question is does anyone know of a 9 or 10 button comm manager that will work on the Athena? I would like to have the voip button to try to make all of it work with this unit also.

If not, I could even deal with the current one if it wasn't GREEN !! Any help is appreciated.......Later

This maybe? http://commmgrpro.com/index.html
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] hdbueller:
Actually,I was looking for one of the comm managers like the ones that we get with the phones. Even another carriers version would work....at least it would not be green....LOL. I tried a couple of the ones for my old Hermes without much success. I do not believe that it is formatted properly for the Athena. All of the buttons were distorted and nearly unreadable.

Thanks anyway......Later

I'm new to Samsung coming from HTC...with flashfire will we be able to flash debloated TW roms (assuming there were any for VZW)? I've seen that anything with the kernel we'd need an unlocked BL, but as far as TW roms go, we should be able to right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] GuestK00143:
I flashed a zip yesterday so I would think a properly made ROM would flash. I did try one yesterday but it didn't flash. I'm pretty sure it was a updater script error on my part. I haven't had the time to look into it further. As for our kernel we will have to use the stock one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] GuestK00143:
Search my friend. It will have to be the same format as the attached one here. This one is from the S5 without the red Verizon screen, just flash it with FlashFire.

Ever have any luck? Some of the ROMs over in the international S6 thread look pretty nice. With the M8 we were able to get international ROMs ported over, but I'm in a new world with Samsung and flashing ROMs without TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] GuestK00143:
It's not going too good on my end. I'm sick of Odining back to stock. I must have done it about a dozen times after various failed mods. I'm pretty much calling it quits until a better recovery becomes available. FlashFire restore doesn't work for me so when a mistake is maid I have to go back to stock. Hopefully there will be some updates to make this more reliable. I'm OK with the few mods available and debloating for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
Just out of curiosity are you trying to port roms already made for other devices? If so I would assume that the kernel on your locked phone cannot work with the system.img in the ported rom. What you could do is find a rom that is stock rooted only, no other mods or lightly modded and grab that script. From there download the verizon s6 system, extract it and add the su stuff then wrap all that in a zip. The permissions and symlinks should be close enough to get you booted and if it boots you can start working out all of the bugs :p

Sorry if you already tried all that, just want to help if I can.

*Edit*

Almost forgot Im sure you figured this out already but you would need to edit the boot out of the installer script

*Double edit*

Here is a non aroma rom for your installer script. He is planning on implementing aroma so you might want to grab it asap

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
misterxtc has helped me develop roms for the vzw s5 as well as his own roms. were not a+ devs by any means but we do have experience with it.. the rom created was im sure from his own build from the stock base rom for the vzw s6.

the vzw s5 also has a locked BL so we are very aware that you can only use roms compatible with the stock BL and kernel.. Flashfire does not appear to flash the BL or kernel at all but also cannot write the whole system without the kernel.

it has been tried multiple times by him and myself on my s6 edge and each time results in having to odin back to stock and start over.

We also both talked to hsbadr and his multisystem unfortunately does not work for us since we have no ext sd card.
