[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pogobongo:
Yes - I considered this option too, but not all miracast dongles seem to be created equal! Which one did you use and was this casting from a Tab S?

Thanks for sharing your experience.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acdbrn2000:
Yes, I have used it myself from the time I got my tab S (December 24) till a few days ago and it worked for me each time.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deevo2:
Just a cheap ezcast from ebay... all the guts of these are basically the same... and yes this was with tab s 8.4... miracast functionality is built into tab s so you don't have to use 3rd party apps. It works well enough for me to use net flix however not good enough for gaming...for general tablet use it works well.

Any help will be appreciated :fingers-crossed:
[LG G Flex 2] dimex:
So we've all read and watched review after review of the laggy, thermal throttling, flop of a device the G Flex 2 is. Nonetheless, I'm still interested in this device, and I do not know why. Maybe because I enjoy tinkering and using tech that others don't. Maybe because reading some owners' reviews here seem to paint a different picture.

Are you happy with this device and feel a lot of the issues were addressed?

The only thing holding me back is the total lack of a dev community. This seems to be held up by a current un-unlockable bootloader, correct? I really don't like skinned Android, but have honestly never used LG's skin before. If a CM or stock port could be guaranteed I think I'd pull the trigger on this.

Thoughts?
[LG G Flex 2] Intub8:
There are no guarantees but I am happy with my choice. I use the us model which has 3 GB of ram. Never even had one stutter. It also does not get very warm like my nexus 6 did. The only downfall I have is being on at&t I will likely never see an update.
[LG G Flex 2] drmilosh:
Well, here it goes..

First of all, I have H955 version ( 16gb/2gb).

A couple of days ago , I read that a 5.1.1 update is starting to roll out, which is pretty great, taking the fact that many MANY other devices are still on 4.4 and 5.0. That said, a user that got the update , said that now we have an option for OEM unlock, which is a step closer for getting custom roms ( at least, I think ). Also, update also brings some under the hood optimizations , such is less buggy home and lower temperature while using the phone.

Now, my opinions with the current 5.0.1 - and you have to believe me on this - I have no lags. At all. Those slow downs are just not there - luncher gets reset sometimes after using chrome, and the phone gets hotter when using it for a long period of time, but other than that.. Phone works awesome, apps open instantly, launcher is not buggy etc..

Next the heating issue - it is only there when I play games, browse in chrome for some time (although, sometimes faster , after 2,3 minutes of browsing - dont know why).

The screen - this is very IMPORTANT . Some users, like me, have yellow spots on display when there is a grey background - only visible on that and maybe some greyish bcgrnds AND with brightness turned to 0%.. A say this is important because it can be annoying from time to time - IF YOU CAN SEE IT! Some users have no such issue (if it is an issue). It is a part of production process etc etc etc.

To summarize - I like my g flex 2 :). You can see that from all the above. It is great looking, fast phone with great camera. What else is there not to like? It is a personal preference though. There are many great phones out there, like the upcoming LG G4, SG Note 4, HTC OneM9 and many other phones. If you ask me , I would always choose flex 2, and with the upcoming 5.1 android (I cant wait for it) it is a win. I am aware that many users are reporting lags and issues with the phone but I dont have them.

Take your time. Take in consideration , for example , new LG G4. Talk to someone else who has this phone. But in the end, dont let someone convince you in to buying any phone - you will be using it, and you will have to live with its pros and cons. Big text, I know, live long and prosper. ;)
[LG G Flex 2] goxi87:
And I think the same way. Is it possible that the G Flex 2 so bad? I have a G3 with CM based rom and I am very pleased with it. But the design of the G Flex 2 like very much. Weak development support for it worries me and if so I'll probably have to skip it.
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
If you can, i suggest that you wait 2-3 months. Not only for price drop but to see how the other 810 phones settle down. If you read reviews of other810 phones and check their performance all seem to suffer fron the same problems. For example xiaomi mi note pro, nubia z9,htc m9, even oneplus 2. If you like big dev community oneplus 2 is your choise.

I personally bought flex2 because we had in greece a big discount for only one day 300euro unlocked. If i had missed the discount i would have waited 2-3 months
[LG G Flex 2] Ronee33:
For me this is my 6th phone in one year so I can compare pretty good.

I must say it is not a bad phone. Have some lag here and there but it is manageable. It is not that smooth as an oneplus one for instance.

The heating is there, don't expect to play games for long, as the heating eats the battery.

General Battery performance is ok, I have there no complaints.

I also like the camera it is one of the best I used so far.

I think this is a solid phone but the standard price is just to high. If you pay the full price I would not go for the Flex. For that money you are better of with a more standard phone like the G4. It is more reliable and will get more attention during the years.

I got my for 400USD, for that I think it is okay, but still not that good value as an oneplus one.
[LG G Flex 2] probaina:
I really love mine although I had my problems with it at first. Mine had a tendency to thermal throttle fairly easily but even then it was quite fast and smooth. After adding a copper shim and modifying the thermal configuration file I like it a lot more. Although it wasn't slow before it's now even smoother and faster. I have the AT&T 3GB version which seems to not suffer from the kind of lag the 2GB version initially had. I'm also really impressed at how many apps I can open without them closing in the background. Battery life is about the same as my Galaxy S4 with a 3000mah battery. It really depends on what you do. It has great standby time but if you push it really hard like a complex 3d game it may not be so great. On normal use I get about 4 to 5 hours of on screen time. Mine also came with light yellowish tint that really wasn't very obvious unless I had a white or grey background. I still asked AT&T for a replacement and the new one came with a much even toned display and no more yellow.
[LG G Flex 2] yellowman82:
Best thing to do is wait a bit if you can, just to see if development picks up.
[LG G Flex 2] dimex:
Thanks everyone for your feedback. Ya, this phone interested me for some reason.

I'll keep checking back.
[LG G Flex 2] pesho00:
My 50 cent's ;)

G3 is a little smaller with same screen size, a lot better resolution (i can see pixels on G Flex2 from close distance) on a nearly half the price, so it is up to You ;)

P.S.

G3 is looking better (but this is personal teist)

P.P.S.

I have G3 and from 2 days is using Flex2
[LG G Flex 2] TheAxiks:
I love the Flex 2. it's a great phone. i am using it since release in Germany and in the first two weeks it gets very fast very hot, but since an update everything is fine. Great battery life, a lot of Power. But if i can change it, i would pick the 3GB RAM model
[LG G Flex 2] Onetearfalls:
I dont have the phone either so im in the same boat as you. I would wait for the g4 to come out not just because its going to be an amazing phone. But if lg is using some unlockable bootloader they will probably use it on the g4 as well and if that happens it will get unlocked much faster since its a flag ship. With any luck then that can be applied to the g flex and cm for all.
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
I also have the 2gb ddr4 version. The 3gb version has ddr3 or ddr4?
[LG G Flex 2] probaina:
I didn't think the Snapdragon 810 could use anything but DDR4. Honestly I don't think there's a way to tell but considering how much the 3GB version costs as well I would assume it does have DDR4.
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
you are probably right! I just couldn't confirm it 100% the reason that the difference doesn't show up in benchmarks maybe be fault in memory controller. lol
[LG G Flex 2] rei9n:
I got a really good price for the phone so I'm biased. That being said I did go for the phone because of the design itself and it's not a choice that I regret.

For the first couple of days having the phone I did experience the overheating issue. I tend to back up my devices and reset them often and in this case I found that a full factory restore solved the overheating issue.

As for the lag it's noticeable from time to time if you have multiple things going on at once like playing a game while downloading files while streaming music.

As stated earlier with the g4 right around the corner I was certainly wait and see how that one pans out giving its going to have that much better of a system on the inside, and possibly the ability to use custom roms, which I do miss.
[LG G Flex 2] deBricker:
I had the LS996 (32GB/2GB) version of G Flex 2. It is freakin terrible. If I wasn't so busy this past month, I would've traded it in. It was so bad that I spent a hundred dollars and got a GS5. Even after the ZV5 update and the thermal and hotplug mods I've made, it still over heated, froze, and lagged... I called it quits when I started having to do a force shut down (holding the power button until the phone turns off).
[LG G Flex 2] Kidsnd274:
I have the 32GB / 2GB model. In my experience, the screen is a little grainy, but I'm fine with it. With the latest 10d update, the phone is a lot cooler, although it will still thermal throttle after some usage. Performance is a lot better as well, but it still can be improved. It continues to freeze in Chrome, so I use the stock web browser that comes with it. When the phone is hot, browsing through menus becomes sluggish and slow, something I really hope they will fix. Battery life is okay, but when you start playing games, or do any processor intensive stuff, it becomes real bad. (Probably the Snapdragon 810's fault) Camera photos are a little washed out, not as sharp as other phone cameras out there, but it produces very vibrant colours. Focusing is a little slow at times, laser focus not working too well, especially up close to an object. The self-healing back isn't doing a very good job. Just being in my pocket (with nothing else) and placing the phone on some tables, it has collected up many scratches. Screen brightness doesn't go very low, so I use an app called Lux to take care of that.

The Dual Window feature is limited to certain apps, unlike Samsung's Multi-Window, but at least it's there. QSlide is useless for me, and so is Quick Memo. Knockcode, on the other hand, is nice to have, very convenient to unlock the phone with one hand. But if you happen to use face unlock, it might interfere with knock code, and you might end up just locking the phone by using the double tap feature, since the phone unlocks when you are still knocking the code.

It's still running Android 5.0.1, so I hope all of this can change with the 5.1 update or when Android M gets released in the future.

I got this phone, because I wanted to try something new. It's a curved screen that can bend, of course it would catch my eye. Even hearing about all the overheating problems, I decided to invest in this two years journey with this phone. Overall, I regretted, an S6 is a better choice in my opinion, it runs a lot better. But if you are all-in for the curved screen, I suggest you wait a while more to see how this phone performs in future updates.
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
For the dual window there is a mod if you check the android developement thread. It needs editing build. prop. It works ok as far as i experienced.
[LG G Flex 2] Kidsnd274:
Yeah, was using it until the 10d update. There seems to be a problem during the rooting process after the update, so I can't use the mod now.

[LG G Flex 2] yellowman82:
I laughed when I saw his post also lol lucky it's just opinion and not a fact lmao.
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
after the update did you make o factory reset first ? I have 10e and rooting was ok. maybe you did something wrong following the rooting guide
[LG G Flex 2] Intub8:
I must be slow. I don't get it..... Oh did I offend some nexus fanboys!
[LG G Flex 2] Kidsnd274:
I have tried rooting multiple times. Also, it seems like I'm not the only one having this problem. Others are posting on the forums not being able to root as well.

Is it necessary to factory reset to root?
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
When i bought the phone i left it at first download all updates and then after 10e i made a factory reset. The first thing after was the rooting progress.

My experience with smartphones tell me that ota updates sometimes create issues. I always try to make clean installation when possible.
[LG G Flex 2] eallan:
I just picked one up on an Expansys sale.

I really really like the look and feel of this thing, but dammit the performance is miserable.

About 60% of the time it "runs fine."

The rest of the time it's between "totally locked up" and "super slow."

I have the h959, so only 2GB of RAM. The issues I'm having don't seem to be RAM related however.

I've already factory reset so that didn't really help. It's a shame...
[LG G Flex 2] ShadowRii:
I found out that the apps that Lagg a lot are Facebook and chrome

on Facebook I removed it and installed Facebook lite

and on chrome I changed the amount of ram it uses to the minimum
[LG G Flex 2] eallan:
Yeah I don't have facebook installed. Chrome is bad, hangouts is bad, and honestly a lot of it is pretty bad.

I'm HOPING 5.1 helps.
[LG G Flex 2] nevrozel:
5.1.1 is rolling out as we speak. Look in that thread, people say performance has greatly improved. Tell me which phones have 5.1.1 today? Even my nexus 5 did not get the OTA so LG must be doing something very nice for their customers.
[LG G Flex 2] yellowman82:
Well you ask which phone has 5.1.1 and my nexus 6 does lol
[LG G Flex 2] nevrozel:
You're right, I should have asked which non nexus has it? [emoji4]
[LG G Flex 2] yellowman82:
Not only do we have it but we also have the Android M preview Roms also which is pretty damn stable for a preview with some bugs nothing major though.
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
it is unfair to compare for example nexus 6 , oneplus one with lg gflex 2 even with 5.1.1.

nexus performance is similar to oneplus one because of the screen resolution it has.

I had oneplus one for 9-10 months and I can say flex2 is one class higher even with it problems.

if gflex 2 had aosp it would be 2 classes higher.

I dont want to misunderstand this post. I like very much nexus phones aosp and cyanogenmod.
[LG G Flex 2] Ronee33:
That is what I call a constructive post... Gj
[LG G Flex 2] zed011:
It has come to my attention that the G Flex 2 has a very high brightness level even at the lowest brightness setting making it blindingly bright at night. This is to alleviate the strange wavy screen distortion on solid colors. If you view the screen on some light backgrounds it is easy to see the distortion. Do not expect uniform color.
[LG G Flex 2] Kidsnd274:
I use Lux to decrease brightness below the minimum level, and I can definitely see all the graininess on the screen. But its better than going blind.

I have the same problem and it is even turning the device off because it is getting to hot.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DastanShaikh:
No..problem of heating.... Yet...

Device may hot its normal... Because its waterproof so there's no way air can get in....to make it cool...

It's also depends on the temperature on location where you live... Here in India... Now a days.. Temperature goes upto 47 degree celsius.....

So location temperature may affect the device temperature... It's Normal....

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasengan82:
Does this fail in the Nexus 6 now? I get an error message saying raw types cannot be formatted. I remember I could do this in my N4.

Also, is fastboot erase necessary at all when using the fastboot flash command? I've always thought the fastboot flash command was overriding the whole partition instead of just copying individual files into it.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NotATreoFan:
I know this is an older question, but since I just ran into it myself, here's what you have to do:

fastboot erase system

fastboot format:ext4 system

You need to specify the filesystem in order for the newer fastboot files to format the system partition. I used TWRP to verify system was EXT4 prior to formatting.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
No, it is not needed. The latest version of fastboot will automatically perform a fastboot erase before flashing the image.

In the past "flash" wouldn't perform an "erase", but even then, a "fastboot erase" is not needed before a "fastboot flash" because as you stated, it overwrites the entire partition rather than writing individual files.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -BoneZ-:
Just got my Nexus 6 last week, and spent a few days rooting, ROMing, installing apps and setting up those apps. One app I use is "Ventriloid" to talk on Ventrilo servers with friends. The microphone volume is way super low. Even with Ventriloid's microphone gain, it's still horribly low and doesn't do much. I'm assuming this is going to be the case with speakerphone as well since I searched this topic and others had the same issue.

Is there an audio App that I can install to manually boost the microphone gain? In the mean time, I'm going to check out a couple stores and see if the display models have the same issue. This could be a deal-breaker for me since I use speakerphone and Ventriloid a lot. But I do like this phone and hate to sell it.

I can't believe this issue made it past Q/A.
