[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
Well that sucks becuase the official drop test video from dumbdroptestvideoman23 on youtube shows it "should" have survived a 2' drop :p
[G4 General] shawnten:
nope it shattered. but Motorola did replace it for only 175 so i did get a new one a couple weeks ago. I am using a sim adapter in this new lg g4 just so I can switch back when I get the fulling rooted unlocked itch that I know I am going to get very soon.
[G4 General] doki81:
WHAT!!!..i must be having a lemon set :(
[G4 General] poeypresents:
you guys just sold me lol
[G4 General] roosta:
I noticed the drop test. Back cover and battery fly out...and face down drops kill the screen instantly. Build quality when it comes to rigidity is very low, but i've learnt my lesson with my SGS5, i'll always be using thick tempered glass screen protectors...and, once I get the G4, will decide on whether to get aback case or not...

RoOSTA
[G4 General] LancerV:
Drop tests are pointless
[G4 General] Diomorgan:
TPU with corner protection too is the only solution.

If you like to use your phone "naked" just buy a plastic one with small glass and big frame... :(

Design has it's bad sides! :(((
[G4 General] GB1978:
Maybe you should try treating things a bit more carefully. No good blaming anyone else for your inept actions
[G4 General] davidvan:
yep, totally agree.

LG G4 screen is the most fragile screen i ever see!

My LG G4's screen crashed for i sat on it when the phone was on the sofa.

Dang. need to find an OEM G4 LCD screen to fix it!
[G4 General] Nima79:
I dropped mine 1 time , no cracked the screen.
[G4 General] dedovec:
This is phone. With 5.5" screen. The purpose of this screen is not to sit on it or drop it on the ground. The screen is superb. Clumsiness is the answer. Don't blame LG for that. [emoji1]

Sent from my LG-H815
[G4 General] lolypop000:
My LG G4 survive more than 6 face down drops from kitchen cabinet, screen is still ok and working, no damage to phone.

I don't use screen protector or case.
[G4 General] letmeknov:
OP is blaming the screen, and states that this is the worst screen ever after dropping it on the floor (right on the corner if you take a closer look at the photo), and made it crack. Wow! Dumbest thing I ever saw.
[G4 General] Svartsyn333:
Dropped it trice in one month of use (to be fair, two times my cat knocked it down from the couch) and nothing happened. No case.
[G4 General] NocturnalDroid:
All your problems are solved if you look after your phone by treating it to a nice new jacket on purchase:

[G4 General] ugslick:
You got unlucky with the drop... That's a all that happened. Lol
[G4 General] player911:
I have never cracked a screen on a cell phone before. But I have always used a slim case. Right now I use the Spigen Exact Fit case:

http://www.amazon.com/Spigen®-Exact-Fit-Premium-Compatible-LEATHER/dp/B00UMDPR4O

Prior to this on my G2, I used an Incipio Feather (which is the same design).

I dropped that thing a dozen times, slid it across parking lots, etc. A case goes a long way into protecting your phone. The Circle Case isn't even a real case, it is just a back plate and a flap... so no additional help.

I even stopped using screen protectors for my phones with the G2. After 2 years, the screen still looks flawless.
[G4 General] Ladeef:
Looks like operator error to me, you realize cell phones aren't supposed to be dropped on the screen?
[G4 General] *justintime*:
Dropped twice and my wife once.... nothing happend...
[G4 General] TecknoFreak:
All of you complaining as far. Im reading your post is more been irresponsible other then blaming the manufacturer. Lol
[G4 General] Gemichi:
I dropped mine and it bounce off three ground twice. It only scratched the back of the plastic and mostly corners. Bought a case after that.
[G4 General] wadamean:
This is not in no way shape or form the worst screen! What a bummer is that this phone doesn't have gorilla glass 4 but only 3
[G4 General] barriecary:
sorry to hear that, you need the new lcd for your g4
[G4 General] grneyez:
You dropped your phone, your fault. Stop blaming the phone for your carlessness. The phone and screen are amazing. Stop whinning.[emoji22]
[G4 General] enfurno:
I smashed my phone... Lemme complain about it... Why does this thread even exist?
[G4 General] brainwash1:
Did she get hurt when you dropped her? I bet she was mad.
[G4 General] JDROIDS:
[MENTION=946041]doki81[/MENTION] I feel ya. I shattered 2 G4s with minor drops. It's my opinion that the size and curve make this phone more vulnerable than the G2 and other phones.

Here's my story...

So 5 days after I bought my G4 from VZW I dropped it without a case about 2 feet on concrete. Cracked the lower right corner but the phone was still fully functional. I still sent it in to Asurion and got a replacement for $150.

Then 3 days later I dropped the replacement G4 from about the same height with a rubber case this time. I was sure that there was no damage this time until I picked up the phone and the entire screen was shattered. Awful.

Turns out Asurion only let's you have 2 replacement phones per 12 months and I had replaced my G2 in November due to faulty sensors from (you guessed it) dropping it.

So Asurion dropped me and I now have my G4 being repaired and refurbished for $160 by LG. It takes about 2 weeks total to get your phone to them and back but I have to find out if you can have LG repair your phone for that amount an unlimited amount of times or not. If so It would be worth it to not have insurance for $10/ month which I always have. So now I'm using my G2 until my G4 comes back. Sad that my G2 is way snappier than the bloated G4.
[G4 General] *justintime*:
No luckily she has great bumpers
[G4 General] roosta:
There aren't too many phones on the market that had indestructable screens. Your own fault OP for not getting a TG screen protector and/or case.
[G4 General] doki81:
funny that i thought this thread has gone down to page 2 or 3 and suddenly it being revived again :)

thanks all for the comments...i know it's my own fault for dropping the screen and crack it.... the purpose of this thread is to raise awareness to all user :) i know some user has drop their G4 few times and it's didnt crack..maybe i and a few users here is really bad luck for having it crack at the first drop..
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Maybe there should be a law requiring all users to use a case! lol
[G4 General] MATRIKS:
Delete this thread the worst user ever
[G4 General] Z3ldaFan88:
Well, s**t......I am sorry to hear of your bad luck man. I have heard of a few people managing to do a one drop break/crack but mine seems to be pretty legit as far as reliability goes (Granted, I have had a OtterBox Case on it from day one so it has always been protected and everything).

I just expected more out of a "Flagship Device" with an MSRP with over a $500 price sticker.
[G4 General] grneyez:
Ever consider Otterbox or maybe a flip phone? Hard to shatter a screen on a flip phone. I may have one laying around if you need one. [emoji41]
[G4 General] JDROIDS:
[MENTION=2001482]grneyez[/MENTION] I had a rubber bumper case the second time like I said. This screen is without a doubt much more susceptible to cracking than any other phone I had in the past. Yes if it's that sensitive I may need to mummify and therefore enlarge my phone with a lunch box. ;)
[G4 General] scott.hart.bti:
I'd say you probably don't want to drop the phone much.... Just my advice though. Tough break. I purchased an ottorbox in the store the same day I purchased the phone... Wasn't going to take any chances.... Phones are way to expensive nowadays.
[G4 General] dcsscd:
I got mine yesterday, today the screen has a crack. I did not droped it or hit it with something, had it in my pocket and when i noticed it had that crack.

Could be an overheating issue?

I send it to the factory, but support told me that the most probable scenario is that factory isn't going to replace the screen because a crack in the screen its considered users fault.
[G4 General] doki81:
bad luck...most likely the user here will blame you for having a tight pocket.... :)

i have dump my G4 and now switch to N6p ..
[G4 General] chaki-:
I have accidentally dropped mine on concrete couple times. I had the flip case and beside a bump on the side there was nothing else.

I guess it is luck....
[G4 General] dedovec:
My g4 dropped face down from the internal pocket of my jacket and only cracked glass screen protector. The screen itself was untouched. The screen frame too. Luck... [emoji19]
[G4 General] Gregzi:
This thread is pointless....

If somebody is buying a high end device, than it should be treated and taken care off accordingly.

For the careless i recommend something like CAT S series which are:

- IP68 - water proof up to 5m for 60 mins with closed lids

- Drop-to-concrete resistance up to 1.8 m

- MIL-STD-810G certified - salt, dust, humidity, rain, vibration, solar radiation, transport and thermal shock resistant

I put a Chameleon glass on my G4 right in the Store. Can't put something from Spigen onto its back since it won't go into my car holder, where it rest almost 4 hours /day. The phone literally flew and bounced once, but nothing else but small scratch on the side and on the edge of Chameleon glass protector is visible.

Above all: I am taking full responsibility to what I do with my things....

Really pointless topic!
[G4 General] benjamen50:
Yep. It is pointless. Same thing every day clients bring their phones in to replace screen.
[G4 General] doki81:
i think it's pointless too as i have move on to N6P :)
[G4 General] Riardon:
While I can whine about things on G4 the screen is not one of them. It is one of the best and I used S6 edge too. This one has more ”proper” real colours and it's bright. Gorilla Glass is not protecting you from drops. It's scratch resistant not drop shatter proof in any way. You can brake it like any other phone of you drop it. It's matter of luck.
[G4 General] el_gid:
If you think it is the worse then try dropping an iphone
[G4 General] F-L-Y-E-R:
People are so naive, as soon as something happens to their phone, as soon as something stops working and they call it ****. What's the logic, issues occur on ANY phone in the world, according to your logic there's a phone that is perfect and it never fails so why you did not buy it, why did you buy a '****ty' phone...

I think that iPhone users in general are not obsessed with such things and they don't blame their phone as android users do, the reason for that I personally think that android users think that they are the smartest people in the world, they can hack their phones without ever failing but once something goes wrong they go and whine in xda-developers forum. You cant rewind the time, just deal with it and don't make stupid excuses if it's your fault.
[G4 General] Cozmos23:
Mine fell a few times, but there is no damage to the display, just some scratches.

Also in the first week owning this phone I stepped on it with the display to the ground. My heart nearly stopped beating lol.

Maybe I'm just lucky, had some other phones like Sony and they even shattered without dropping so ...

Its mostly related to the angle and material it falls onto.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_McBurst:
Hi,

I hope someone could help me save a useless phone.

I got a Z3 from ebay (it's O2 Germany). As soon as I turned it on it updated to 5.0.2.

Then later I inserted the SIM card (took me some time to get the nano from the carrier).

It's not SIM locked.

The problem is that I can't get a steady signal. AT ALL. It hits a signal for 2 sec, then nothing.

It can recognize my carrier in the split second that it's on, I got the access points and all. I can even search for carriers and get a list of several to choose from.

The same phenomena is apparently happening with the NFC - the software switch turns on then straight off (same radio chip issue?)

I have tried GSM only, WCDMA only, LTE.

Tried changing the bands used using the internal *#*# menus.

Using flashtool I have flashed a stock global rom instead of the german. And local stock.

I have read that some people had this issue after the lollipop update so I rolled back to stock 4.4.4, same issues with cellular and NFC.

I'm really at a lost. I have this fancy brick that I was hoping to give my dad (he needs the screen size, the old fool) and instead I'm wasting valuable time at work trying to fix it...

Anyone?

Thanks,

Juv.
