[G4 General] skym0903:
The funny thing is that when I called LG from the Tmobile store they didnt even know about it. Thats why they swapped out the phone for me. Good CS
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
I'm so not surprised. It's like us finding out info about the release of a new phone from TMOnews.com - and yet, the CSRs know NOTHING about it.
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
Definitely by design. Nothing new with telco reps having no idea about the devices they sell. They get nowhere near enough training on any of their products.
[G4 General] :
I work for T-Mo tech care and we get trainings here and there but they're only on new features that no one cares about and the specs of phones I already know before the phones even come out (rumors that are normally correct, not insider knowledge). They're 15-45 minutes tops. Just a splash training. I'd imagine they (the reps at LG, Samsung etc) get the same amount of training if not a little more. Google is my best friend at work, chances are you'll find out more from Google than the reps.
[G4 General] davelee1054:
I too was having this issue, so I went to Sprint customer service and they swapped it out for me for free. The new unit doesn't exhibit this behavior at all. So the screen on my first one was definitely wonky or something. The first batch of G4's manufactured probably just had a lot of lemon screens
[G4 General] skym0903:
That cant be... Supposedly its a feature LG implemented.... Can you test it again?
[G4 General] davelee1054:
That makes no sense. How is decreasing contrast at high brightness a "feature"? It doesn't make things easier to see, in fact it makes things even harder to see. It's a hardware fault.

My previous phone (LG Optimus G) also never exhibited this "feature," so it's highly unlikely to be by design.
[G4 General] skym0903:
Thats what Ive been saying to everyone! At least someone thinks the same way I do! I told the tmobile rep how the frick can that be a feature??? I would understand higher contrast to make it more visible but low contrast just doesnt make sense...
[G4 General] skym0903:
I had the G2 G3... Non of them had this problem/feature... Well this is my 2nd G4 and its still there... Unless I get rid of this problem how can I get rid of the phone without paying the restocking fee??
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Agree. If anything it should be doing the opposite, increasing contrast further which is what happens when screen brightness gets boosted or alternatively decrease whites. anything that increases the difference between darks & lights.

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

I was going to suggest you create a shadow on the screen either with your hand or your body. But you said you noticed the same thing on cloudy days too. So brigtness in that case is not at 98%.
[G4 General] Chyeo1979:
Didn't really noticed this, but I just know I can still view my G4 quite clearly under sunlight and I'm satisfied with it.

My note 3 is virtually just a black screen under sunlight.
[G4 General] LancerV:
It doesn't lower contrast......
[G4 General] poeypresents:
Did you email LG?
[G4 General] davelee1054:
yeah it seems like the problem affects only a handful of units. most of them seem to have normal screens.
[G4 General] LancerV:
No it increases contrast which is gonna make light gray text get a little lighter. Easy way to prove it shine a bright flashlight at your light sensor
[G4 General] skym0903:
I wonder if this is real feature since some people dont notice it. On my lux app the only time the grey text gets even whiter when I put a flash to the light sensor and the meter(?) goes up to 30000 lumins
[G4 General] LancerV:
Probably doesn't bother most people, it's like the Note 4 would make everything a pink/purple color when it was in direct sunlight
[G4 General] skym0903:
Its probably because majority of the people dont work or dont use the phone outside much. Even if they do they just assume the screen visibilty is worse at sunlight which is true but I work outside and notice it a lot.
[G4 General] LancerV:
You might as well not buy any new phone because they all do this.

I use my phone outside all the time and have no issues reading text, it looks way better than the high contrast mode that Samsung implements
[G4 General] fatboypup:
I live in Arizona and was able to see mine outside with auto brightness on
[G4 General] Razertje:
Mine does the same, took flashlight to the shop, and tested it on 4 other G4's. They all did the same. Definitely a feature... But a shame you can't turn it off.
[G4 General] Sher The Love:
Mine does it even with autobrightness off.
[G4 General] skym0903:
So more and more people are finding this out... Thanks for the input everyone!
[G4 General] mstreet28:

[G4 General] tersagun:
If I understand what you describe currently, my Lumia 920 does that very successfully.

Under bright sunlight, the screen/colour/contrast changes dramatically and while lowering the quality it actually helps with sunlight readability.

If it's the same with LG, I'm glad.
[G4 General] barondebxl:
I can see the screen very clearly in sunlight...and that is with very dark sunglasses on
[G4 General] bmac1191:
My phone doesn't look bad in direct sunlight. What phone did you before that looked good in sun light?
[G4 General] barondebxl:
I had the S6. Excellent as well. To me they are equal, the G4 is crystal clear just like the S6 is.
[G4 General] Trey117:
I Have notices this with my new LG G4. But I have found that if you cover the light sensor at the top of the phone while in sunlight the screen goes back to normal and it is easier to see so I am hoping it is a software issue.
[G4 General] devon4786:
It's a feature that allows for better viewing in direct sunlight. Noticed it as well and it tremendously improved my expeirence in direct sunlight with the device...however, I can see how it would be a pain for some, since everyone isn't the same. There should have at least been a way to turn it off.
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
I've been noticing this outside at work and couldn't figure out if it was in my head or if somehow auto brightness was always on or what. I really don't like the "feature" at all. Why the **** would I want my text to get lighter when in direct sunlight? None of my other smartphones did anything like this ever.

You'd think there would have to be someway to disable it.
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
No problem with my G4's screen, it's even better than the M9 I had under sunlight
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
So this effect doesn't happen to you or you simply don't mind it?
[G4 General] skym0903:
I learned to live with it but still dont like the feature...

Cant find any phone thats better than the G4 so I have to.....
[G4 General] Roars21:
I have only noticed this happen twice but switching screen off and on fixed it. So no really worry for me. I really like the screen on this and the quality keeps getting compliments from other people when watching videos etc on it. Really a great screen. Hope that this issue isn't as big as it sounds and can maybe be fixed.
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
I mean it's not a huge issue for most I'd assume. More of a minor annoyance/curiosity for me.

Off topic but I'd happily sub in a 1080 display if it meant even better battery life. 1440 looks great but seems to be overkill on a device of this size.
[G4 General] Kenishi99:
To be honest I have that "issue" too.

But I think this is one of the best functions on a phone I ever had!

Even when using the phone in direct sunlight I can see almost everything on it.

That's awesome!
[G4 General] player911:
Yea I dont get it. LG commercials rave about their outdoor screen brightness and super bright backlight. Well it compares to my G2 almost exactly. In fact my G2 was actually a smidge brighter.

At the end of the day, it is still a LCD screen and will have problems in bright environments. Im not sure why they marketed it that way so bad.
[G4 General] krisstijan86:
Hello,

Some post about lg g4 display issue in daylight. I have a same issues it's in dayligth colours are faded and only if I cover sensor with my finger, it's ok. Do you have any updates about that? I was thinking to give phone back to the store because it's anoying.

I'm still on lolipop. Don't know, maybe it's solved on marchmellow. Thanks!
[G4 General] 26.csmith:
I have this happen with my G4 as well. First noticed it about a month ago when the green colouring between my keys on my SwiftKey keyboard started "swelling". I then started to notice the colours appearing to drain from the rest of the screen when in direct sunlight. Never had this problem until now and have had the phone since Sept 2015. Not sure if I should call LG before my warranty runs out or if it's a design flaw.

Edit: For what it's worth, I'm using Marshmallow.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
The best advice I can give with regards to getting the best battery life for your Note 4 would be to turn off all the features that you aren't always using like Wi-Fi , Bluetooth, NFC, 2/3/4G data connectivity and GPS on your Note 4. and turn them on when you are going to use them. That way your battery will last your allot longer.

[IMG="battery use"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2765945/2015-05-25%2013.51.34.jpg[/IMG]Just my two cents worth but I was getting terrible battery life out of my 910F. Mine is not rooted but I disabled a lot of services, put it in battery saving mode, automatic birghtness etc; in short all of the standard things you can do that are built into the device. I didn't get any improvement. I even turned off wifi etc., whereas normally i have everything on, including bluetooth, maximum brightness (when screen is on), data, sync, all of them 24 hrs a day. Then I flashed N910FXXU1BOE2 (the french rom) and although the rom is not the fastest I've tried (of standard sammy roms) it works fine and gives me fantastic battery life. At night very little drain, and as I said, everything stays on with me. I usually get two days of moderate use. You could try it.

Facebook is the worst battery drain of any app I've ever seen, worse than play services. Just use the web for facebook.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoni1980:
I remember following the correct flashing method on the G3 to install stock firmware but it would always boot back up with the Vodafone splash screen, even after flashing generic firmware. I don't want to root or unlock the bootloader as my firmware is very 'stock'; though if I can easily do this - as with ODIN on the S5 - then I might as well.

There is a flashing guide on here but it just says 'return to stock'. It doesn't say anything about MOVING to stock from a branded firmware, unless I'm missing something.

Thanks in advance.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
Hi All

I Love my M9, I think its awesome but do I need to have Googles webview. I used to have it installed (quite a while ago) but found it was a massive battery drain.

If i understand it correctly, according to this article:

https://www.infinum.co/the-capsized...5-lollipop-what-is-it-and-why-should-you-care

It seems more like a way for app developers to deliver updates quicker and it affects only Chrome users

Is this correct or should I have it installed, even if I use the stock HTC or Firefox browser.

Is it better now-a-days on battery and M9s resources

Thanks
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hnk1:
Google Webview came preinstalled with my Nexus updates but I have never updated or used it actually. I am actually not even sure what it does apart from some advanced APIs which normal user wouldn't ever use and if you read user comments about the app, they are pure sarcastic and full of humour. Gave me some nice laughs.

Do not worry if you have not installed it. Think of this app like the world's useless app which has some hidden supper powers but for that you will have to check it for yourself!

Read the comments for superpowers!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Well, WebView isn't that useless. The majority of people commenting that app on google play simply don't understand its function. If your apps are running fine after you uninstalled WebView then there is no need to reinstall it. But I wouldn't be suprised if you faced some problems with some of your apps that are showing web content.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
From what I can gather, it seems that people just dont know what it is and are commenting on the fact that its creating problem, crashes and shut-downs n their devices, and yes.. some of the responses are quite funny, but from the way the app looks, its explanation is quite complicated.

After a bit more reading, the app allows you to view content without having to have the browser on that web page or even open at all, such as documents or maybe even video/audio from a certain site, which in itself is a great idea especially in Multi-tasking.. kind of like a multi-window (ala Samsung & LG), but at this point Goohgle just havent explained it properly, plus it looks like a beta process.. soething that may appear in Android 5.1 or even 6. Im not really sure.

Thanks anyway for the help folks.. needless to say, Ill leave it alone for now :)
