Wow, that really sucks. I don't have that problem (no Bluetooth in my car LOL). I have noticed that I usually have to press the activity button on my BT headset or the play button on the BT speaker I use at work, but as long as it's active on the phone, it immediately pairs. Not sure why that is...
[G4 General] rsbenedict:
I have a 2014 CRV and have no issues with bluetooth, but my wife has issues with her S6 Edge. It often won't connect and she has to delete it from the car and start again. It happens almost once a week if a little more.
[G4 General] nipun1110:
After long time saying "somebody wake up, tell LG about this", people have actually started writing G4 problems in public forums or sites.. But mostly touchscreen issues are getting the headlines, don't know why these writers not mentioning about other issues too. Anyway guys thanks for keeping the thread alive. Afterall, sharing is caring, right?
[G4 General] rsbenedict:
They need to also talk about the heating issues as well. I think the heating/battery and the touchscreen issues are two of the biggest issues I've read about.
[G4 General] holzmann:
One minor grips is perhaps that the headphone volume could be louder. Maybe 10% louder at max.

Wells I bought the phone from At&t, at first site loved the screen, shape of the phone and camera

Never had an LG so based in positives “reviews” decided to give it a shot, why not, huge battery,

LG skipped Q810 processor (rumors overheating) so Q808 should be good enough, great camera

And free goodies, good deal! I had the phone for six days then I returned. The lag and the painful

To browse the internet even no heavy advertised mobile sites was horrible, I did not had a lot

Of problems or bug mentioned in amazing amount ones on these forums but recent apk lag a lot

Some sites can even open stall with VZW ads lol. Apks open fast, but the overall browser around

The phone seems slow to me (have an M8 aside open the same sites flawless) think something is

Just not right with this phone, and early fast tech sites reviewers overseen the problem that a G4

Have. Lection learned always goes to the store to play first with your next upgrade.
[G4 General] dvgb173:
My problems:

1.The notification light never comes on at all.

2. Missed taps.

3. No option for menu/settings button.

VZW VS986 on VS98610B Software version

EDIT:

1. Resolved with a factory reset.

3. Resolved by long press on Recents button.

Question

Has anyone been able to transfer files from PC to internal storage .. I am unable to access internal storage to use for music etc

Am I missing something here ?
[G4 General] dvgb173:
I just tested. I moved a 5K text file successfully.
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
No issues with transferring to or from the phone. Have done both, as well as adb pulling the entire /system partition night before last.

What OS are you using? Have you tried reinstalling the drivers?
[G4 General] sladflob:
Seems like quite a few people are seeing defects in the oleophobic screen coating in the form of horizontal lines across the screen that are mostly visible when the screen is turned off. The lines disappear when the screen is cleaned, only to return once the screen gets a bit dirtier. Looks like it's a manufacturing defect. LG seem to have dropped the ball with quality control here. See the thread I started about this here.

I got home from work today, and as soon as I walked in the door and connected to my Wifi I received a bunch of notifications all at once...so fast dormancy didn't seem to do anything.

I also noticed the stock LG App on the 815 doesn't handle MMS group texting properly. It splits each message into separate conversations and there doesn't appear to be any way to change it.
[G4 General] finanandroid:
3. hold recent apk button
[G4 General] dvgb173:
Thanks. Never thought to long press it. Is that function noted somewhere?
[G4 General] rsbenedict:
I think it's standard fair for LG phones (perhaps others since the menu button was removed by Google).

Try watching Tips and Tricks videos on Youtube to find out all the secret goodies out there. This is my 3rd LG phone since I left Samsung after GS4.

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

How does Fast Dormancy affect WIFI. It's my understanding that Fast Dormancy (for those carriers that support it) allows for handing off from 2G/3G/4G/LTE depending on what's available. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

And if what you're saying is that you didn't get your notifications because you weren't in an LTE area and the phone didn't connect at lower speeds, perhaps in the network settings you have it set to LTE only or something similar.
[G4 General] Mystikalrush:
I can only assume only people with issues are reporting in. If I knew about all the horrific posts people are making, I honestly would have given the S6 a 2nd thought.

I loved my G3 and didn't think twice about the G4. Thankfully I am having 0 issues with the tons of reported problems people are giving.

Hope I didn't jinx myself...
[G4 General] rsbenedict:
I think you're right. The people who aren't having problems have no reason to read through these threads or read through any threads, as most don't read forums about their phones. We're a small sub-section.
[G4 General] nipun1110:
Chrome lags can be minimized by changing a few plugins. Search in Google for it writing "how to make chrome faster" & you will find out. Also I think you should disable the dual window. Both of these make a huge improvement IMO.

I may have a Chrome gripe. Seems like when Facebook or another app tries to launch a link in Chrome, the link gets passed into Chrome but doesn't load. I have to cut the link, open a new tab, paste and go. I have noticed this a few times.
[G4 General] kingwaffle:
The notifications flooded through because sometime during the day the data died on my phone and thus wasn't getting notifications.

From what I read, fast dormancy is basically the following:

Data connectivity on providers is usually in two states: On or off. Fast dormancy basically adds intermediary states between on/off which can help reduce the time necessary to re-establish a data connection. If the carrier supports it, it can also help with battery life since connecting from an "off" state uses a good chunk of horsepower.
[G4 General] fireguy0306:
I haven't really had any issues. when I'm indoors I turn the brightness down and the battery life has been excellent, the standby time is very impressive. yes the screen does use a bunch of power but it was the same way with my m8. now I will say if you crank the brightness you can watch the battery drop quickly.
[G4 General] KingFatty:
Another issue I noticed is that my lock screen (I'm using a PIN, so the screen that asks for the PIN entry) uses a different wallpaper than my existing wallpaper.

Currently the lock screen uses the blue/pink wallpaper that originally was set as the stock wallpaper. But I've since changed my wallpaper to the black/gray cloth one that came with the phone. It's just weird that it shows a different wallpaper when I go to unlock it.
[G4 General] rsbenedict:
That's easily changed in settings. Android has always allowed you to have separate wallpapers for lock screen and main screen.
[G4 General] cowsquad:
I, sometimes think that the user is the problem. I havent any issues with my phone so far. Games are always gonna make a phone lag, drain battery, and over heat.

---------- Post added at 04:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 AM ----------

It is cause by connection optimizer. Simply go into settings, mobile networks, connection optimizer and turn it off. That will fix it.
[G4 General] dislplin01:
Y biggest gripe is software, it feels like I'm using a unfinished, unpolished release, for example you can't change the slide animation when a lock code is being used, even though we have smart lock witch still uses the animation for when in a trusted place, also if I try to open an app from a notification on the lock screen I have to swipe after double tapping. These are just a couple examples there are more, but it doesn't feel like they put as much live into the OS, that and lack of root ect. I realize this all comes with a new device but coming from a nexus 6 its a little rough. Iv attached pics
[G4 General] maslelviz:
I bought an LG G4 and loved it, but it had a faulty digitizer, I was experiencing ghost touches when pinching the screen. Now I have to wait for two weeks until they "Investigate the problem" and probably bringing a replacement... but my biggest complaint about this phone is that it's not rooted yet. I am starting to doubt it will be a well community supported device....and knowing LG's update track record.... it keeps me nervous....
[G4 General] BDestroyer8418:
I seen someone else mention the screen brightness dimming on its own. Does no one else have this. Both Tmobile G4 I have in hand do this. I find it happens the most when charging at low% of battery and it heats up. Do they have some kind of protection on this hidden in the software or something where it will auto dim and no one know about it. Like I mention it is random and will jump from 100% to either 90%, 80% or 70%. Need more users to test this and if so do you have a Screen protector or not.

I am getting a new Screen protector to test but I did get the phone to do it without one and it jumped from 100 to 90% so something is wrong with the G4.
[G4 General] nipun1110:
Anyone having any issue with the CALL QUALITY? It's being more frequent with me that the recipient complaining about not hearing me loud or clearly. One thing I have noticed that I have to keep the curvature of the screen very close to my face curvature so that the mouth piece remains close to my mouth so that the recipient can hear me properly. Anyone having any such issue? Or anyone have any solution for this particular problem of mine?
[G4 General] rsbenedict:
I use auto brightness anyway, so I haven't noticed anything. I did notice weird screen anomalies yesterday when my phone got hot. It froze, I had to restart it. It wouldn't register knock code or even double tabs. The battery percentage was stuck at 41% and wouldn't budge. The time to full charge was 1 hour 21 minutes and it wouldn't budge. The screen and buttons were warm. AFter a while of this, I restarted again and everything went back to normal. The phone had been charging all the while an it was now up ti 97% and it was registering knock code again.
[G4 General] nipun1110:
New poll attached

Guys, at last people are noticing G4 issues seriously. Bloggers, writers are writing about it and LG also replying. This is what I wanted, we wanted, right? It sounds soothing hearing that LG is concerned about the issues. But I don't know why people are only writing about touchscreen issue. There are few others & many users are facing those. So why not make a poll & see how many users are having which problem. So I request you all new & regular followers of this post to vote for your problem in the attached poll in the first page. Thank you all.

I tried searching but couldn't find anything about this problem I'm having: My .dng image files (RAW images) have a teal band at the far right edge, about 5 pixels wide (aka you really have to zoom or squint to see it). It's not on the straight-out-of-camera jpgs, but if I pull up a dng in Adobe Camera RAW I get this: http://i.imgur.com/BlYIdoT.jpg

It's not a *huge* deal since it's tiny and easy to crop out, but...it's there. And it's annoying.
[G4 General] scrillakev:
Hey can you post up the article that LG is aware of these issues?

EDIT: Never mind I googled it and found it.. Thanks though good to know they're looking into it.
[G4 General] ruzkay:
I have a bright narrow light strip on the top other than this I don't have any issues... I first thought it is a 3D effect of the status bar but then I saw that it is irregular backlight... should I send it back for this? I hate it once seen I always see it it would be so awesome if it wasn't there. Anyone else has a light strip on top? It is best seen on gray background, you can use display tester.
[G4 General] rfarrah:
As part of the Poll you should also have a checkbox for "None of the Above" or "No problems at all."

I believe that is where the majority of people would land.

[G4 General] Cor-master:
I really don't have too many problems on my at&t version so much as nitpicks. Here they are.

*stock launcher and keyboard seem laggy and make the whole phone seem slower. For me its not a big deal as I'm using swiftkey and nova but alot of users coming from other phones don't know any better and will return their phones over this convinced the phone is broken.

*lollipop memory leak. Apps seem to start having difficulty loading and whole system is slower after 24 hours uptime. This could be fixed simply with an update to 5.1.1

*phone is noticeably slower when dual window is enabled even when you're not using it. Overall not impressed with dual window, seems more of a "look what I can do" feature than an actual useful feature and it's causing problems with performance. Would of been best to not include it. Qslide works alot better

*quick toggles are way more kitkat than lolipop 5.1. Doesn't show you what wifi your connected to or bluetooth, and no drop down ui within the toggles for on the fly wifi or bluetooth device switching. Also battery shortcut is missing and there's no Hotspot toggle either. My model is missing the user switcher but that's at&ts decision not LG's.

*when keyboard is up, back arrow points back instead of rotating and pointing down. Not a big deal but drives my ocd crazy.

*camera app stays in portrait opting for rotating icons instead. Wouldn't care but I pretty much have to use the stock gallery with the app instead of google photos which I prefer. You can select photos as default, but it won't rotate and won't show more then the picture you just took.

*system has amnesia with setting defaults at times. Mainly with the gallery/photos. Since photos doesn't work right with the camera app I keep gallery as the default for the app, photos for everything else, but after about a day or so I'll get the whole "open with" popup again.

That's about all I can think of for now

Only annoyance so far is I have to go into Bluetooth settings to connect to my car's Bluetooth receiver for music streaming every time I leave my car. The receiver itself is always on. Unlike my Galaxy S4 where all I had to do was toggle BT off then on again.

Only had my phone 8 hrs so far so can't judge battery yet. (VS986)
[G4 General] samkle:
Got the phone yesterday and i havent experienced most of the issues in the brief time using it. What i noticed yesterday was that the phone was getting a little hot without doing anything expect some updates and app downloads, i downloaded cpu-z to monitor the temps and i got 40°C-50°Cwhen on iddle or when on whatsapp or facebook and 60-70 when doing a video or playing a game ( i would really appreceate if someone would tell me what are considered normal temps of the sensors that cpu-z monitors). It seems that today the phone runs cooler and i assumed that i ran hotter yesterday because of being the first time being used.

I wad initially extremely worried about missed touches but until now i havent experienced anything noticable (for example writing this has been a breeze and i havent noticed any missed taps) as for knock code that has been about 70-80% accurate but i also had similar results with my lg g2 and i dont really have any issues with that %.

What i have noticed is a little bit of hiccups on the ux whic can be a little bithering at times but i dobt that the m9 or the s6 havent got any.

Lastly the battery. Coming from the Iphone 6 and the battery life has been crazy good i have been downloading apps torrent etc whatsapping maming a few calls and constantly browsing the web for about 4 and a half hours and i have 22 % left ( attaching pictures below, charged the phone for about 10 minutes before hoing out)

Overall i can say im really happy and i hope nothing shows up later.

I was one of the folks who voted "Other". The phone on the left is my original. The phone on the right is the one that I received today to replace it. They're both at 35% brightness in this picture. I exchanged the phone on the left because there's a dark smudge-like area on the lower part of the screen; I'm not sure how well it shows up in the photo. I really didn't realize how bad the original screen was until I got the replacement today.

I have some tap issues (mostly double tap to wake) and a wifi speed problem on a T-Mobile H811.

Using the Netflix app and “Example Short 23.976.” I was only able to get 1750mbps on a netgear x6 router.

The 2 chromecasts in my house were able to get 5800mbps 1920x1080p on the same wireless network.

It would be interesting to see if any of you get better bitrates.

Apparently the I am hitting the maximum bitrates for the android app on the phone, I guess what seems like slow loading on some pages must be related to other issues.

[G4 General] bagedntaged:
So my issue is lag. The ui lags when ever I scroll. Be it in a web browser Google+ etc. The home screen and menu screens don't lag as much.

However. I have noticed that once the phone has been fully charged it is worse. Seems to want an hour or so of use then the lag lessens. It's not perfect like but it is better than straight off the charger.

Other than it being unable to keep up with my g2 in terms of battery im really liking this phone.

The longer I have this phone and the more I use it, the more I find buyers remorse slowly creeping in. Aside from the scroll/tap, the screen randomly dimming is highly annoying.

[G4 General] Batfink33:
I see the G4 is available new on EBay for $499. While that's a great price,its also indicative of the fact LG have messed up the G4. It's pretty much dropping in price already.
