Hello. I'd like to say I don't have any of these issues. But maybe 5g? It's not an issues. It's just that every device is different. My note 4 rocked the whole table. My nexus 6 was just right. The g4 is a little soft but that's fine by me. I hope LG fixes these issues for those of you who have issues.
[G4 General] Ramsey:
That happened on the G3 as well. When you restart, brightness resets to 100%. I didn't like that.

It's a "feature" from LG lol.
[G4 General] Charkatak:
Interesting... I just bought LG G4 T-Mobile version to try it out. I usually don't buy carrier branded phones. So there is no way to deal with auto brightness without installing 3rd party apps?
[G4 General] Ramsey:
No idea, hope someone else can answer you. I'm using an S5 as the G3 was super laggy.
[G4 General] Charkatak:
Dust or particle under camera lens?

I have noticed 1 small particle in the lower right under the camera lens. That is how it came when I opened the box, not a dust that got in from daily use. Any one else noticed it?
[G4 General] juju2011:
Oh my touch screen issues went away when I took off the plastic screen protector and that was my only problem rock solid phone battery life is iffy at times but usually always near a charger

Sent from my LG-H812
[G4 General] 2nd Sky:
software bug?!!?!?!?

connect your phone with music boxes over 3.5mm

dont play music

turn lcd off

wait short time

hear the awful noises...

its a nightmare when i listen while fall in asleep and use timer to stop music. in night i woke up cause the awful noises :/
[G4 General] mfrey0118:
BUMP!!!!!

My God this is frustrating. I had a G3 decided to go with the G4 when the certified refurbished verizon models became available on Amazon for $240 with year warranty. I like this phone so far but man I really need the double tap to wake feature to work. I cannot find anywhere, a link to the actual apk for the LG Keyboard update. Verizon model G4s simply do not have the app update option in the settings menu. Why? Who the frack knows.

HOW CAN VERIZON G4 OWNERS UPDATE THE LG KEYBOARD? ANYONE? BUELLER?
[G4 General] joelalmeidaptg:
I have the lock screen sometimes not recognising taps. Maybe it has to do with MM method of handling deep sleep? Because touching the screen when it is on always work properly - it only fails sometimes when the screen is off. It was bothering me when I bought the phone last week but I got a circle case and since it turns on the screen when you open it (with the magnet), I am always able to unlock successfully at the first try.
[G4 General] mfrey0118:
If anyone has a link to the updated LG keyboard APK, I'd appreciate it.
[G4 General] fridaycider:
H818p bootloop. Going back to Dubai from uk .
[G4 General] JedixJarf:
The only issue I've had out of everything listed is Helium not working properly. Not that big of a deal though, just used adb restore instead.
[G4 General] nipun1110:
Thanks for the appreciation.
[G4 General] nipun1110:
Here's an interesting fact I have found...don't know if anyone have noticed it or if it has any scientific explanation.. Watching videos in youtube app or listening music in music app consume comparatively less battery than just browsing in Internet & downloading stuffs...
[G4 General] stl-soldier:
Not for me. I get almost 9 hours of screen on time when I just read forums and browse the web. When I run games, streaming audio, or videos I get significantly less.

H815 on X10b software.
[G4 General] smw6180:
Yep, that was it. Sorry for being a noob. Still getting used to this thing. Lots of differences coming from HTC. Thanks guys.
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
No problemo, man! I'm right there with ya on the noob front when it comes to UX. Had the HTC m7 and m8 followed by Note 4. LOL

I only came across it because I always turn off the "always allow scanning" option and saw that field. :)
[G4 General] Swizzle82:
I've noticed a yellowish tint. Only when looking at an angle though. When I look at it dead on its bright white.
[G4 General] smw6180:
Yeah, I do the same thing...I just plain missed that option when I was shutting it off. Noob. ;)
[G4 General] orias:
My first T-Mobile G4 started to reboot randomly when it was on wifi. After it did the same during the first setup immediately after wiping the device I replaced it with a different G4. The replacement seems stable so far.
[G4 General] player911:
Agree with OP. Battery seems fine. Screen misses seem software related. I have show touches on can see it making contact. Seems like a background service eats all resources for a millisecond.

Coming from a G2, the LG phones are picky on their chargers. Just have to find ones that have a thick enough cord (I created a huge thread on this over in the G2 forums). We found you need a thicker cord and a proper charger.

Battery lasts longer then my G2. Thats a really good thing considering the screen and power bump.

Havent really noticed excessive heat after I factory reset.

I bought my G4 at verizon and put it back in the box until I got home so I could continue using my G2 (work related). Out of the box I played with it. It was hot as crap. Screen kept going from 100 to 90 to 80 to 90 to 80 to 100. Very sporadic. Syper hot. Went from 65% to 0 in like 30min.

I factory reset, now my brightness stays at 100% and its been 2 days. Battery is awesome. Temporature is cool. Never got warm surfing, emails, pics, pandora, etc.

Really no complaints outside I thought the screen would be brighter.
[G4 General] Swizzle82:
I had the 2 and the 3 now this, all on T-Mobile. I had a similar cord issue with the G2 and slow charging in my car. I had no battery complaints on the 3, but the 4... Not great at all for me. I am draining faster than any phone ever. Stand by is moderate to good for me, but not great. The moment I go to use it though, draaaain!!! I get an estimated 6-8 hrs off the wall before needing to worry about charging. I have a replacement coming because I'm worried I might have a faulty battery or device. Tmobile was willing to replace my battery, but apparently they don't sell them and didn't even know it. So they're sending me a new one and I plan to run some battery tests before just sending this one back. We'll see I hope.. At least I got approved for the spare battery..
[G4 General] davelee1054:
I always have problems waking up the device with a double tap. I always have to tap it several times before it turns on. Also it's pretty frequent that right after the screen lights up, it turns off after I tap the screen. Very annoying.
[G4 General] bahamot_zero:
The only problem that's obvious to me is the peeking function doesn't work reliably. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just doesn't work.
[G4 General] nipun1110:
So last night I was roaming around in youtube & xda about G3 as I am new in LG league & I found that people also had this lag issue, smoothness issue as well as battery drain issue with G3 & surprising all of these improved heavily after using custom ROMs.. So I think that G4 will kill it when Roms like ChupaChups, Cloudy will be available for it & we will be able to flash them :) Till then, peace.
[G4 General] blackknightavalon:
My main bug is the far left-hand side of the screen not working after I play a game. Keeping auto-rotate and switching from Portrait to Landscape and back fixes it, though.

I think that's a Lollipop thing.
[G4 General] o.basar86:
Dominations game is not working on LG G4.

Is there anyone facing this problem ?

And how can we solve that ??
[G4 General] BDestroyer8418:
Just bumping this. I still have this problem even after the update. Is this a setting somewhere on the phone I'm not seeing. Should I do a Hard Reset to factory to see if it fixes this ?
[G4 General] Theuntje:
http://xdaforums.com/g4/help/unlocking-tapping-notification-t3124381/post61094967#post61094967 This issue can be added to the list!
[G4 General] smw6180:
I think that one has to do with the pull-down. If you pull down the notification you're trying to get into and THEN tap it, it seems to work. If you tap it without expanding it it wants you to unlock first.
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
Ok...not sure if it's a problem, but definitely annoying. I stream Spotify while I'm at work (can't stand the elevator music they play here). I've now had to cancel the "Card" about "Spotify causes a 2% per hour discharge of the battery" card about 10 times in the last 3 days. Each time I choose for it to ignore this type of notification, yet it happens again a few hours later.

I'm sure I could turn off the cards, but I don't really feel like I should have to turn off a full feature just to get it to ignore certain things correctly.
[G4 General] Theuntje:
But my phone is unlocked by my watch.. So I shouldt have to do an unlock..
[G4 General] cvsolidx17:
Thank you for your diligence in making these observations and compiling them for the rest of the community to see. I am on the fence between a G4 and the S6 Edge right now. Both have their own issues but I owned the G3 and absolutely loved it so I'm not sure if I want to go to back to Touchwiz. Is the bootloader unlocked for the G4?
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
Bootloader only unlocked for H815. Others are still waiting on jcase, autoprime, and thecubed
[G4 General] vmartinez39:
Its gotten better after disabling every bloatware from T-mobile. Also the phone automatically updated itself from OTA. Weird...

Its gotten more stable. My one annoyance is the battery charging. Have to leave it with screen off to see the battery recover. Its probably my only issue.

Also given all the special needs this phone gets from the stock ROM, I wonder just how much will CM12.1 accommodate for all this. And given that LG's terrible track record with development, I still remember how LG abandoned G2X.

I'll end up selling the phone if CM12.1 isn't released. I know its early, but the Camera and removable battery is the reason I got this device.
[G4 General] jal3223:
Am I the only one with signal issues? It seems to be all over the place with me. 9 times out of 10 it will be in 3g when removing it from my pocket. It seems to even drop signal just by placing it on my leg. It almost seems like it's shorting out or something. As long as it's in my hand the signal is good though.

My screen is perfect though and I'm not getting any heating issues. So I'm kinda reluctant to get a replacement after hearing all of the others problems. It's a weird situation. Lol. Verizon is my carrier btw.
[G4 General] kentoe:
Bloat that can't be disabled

Pull down notifications work 30% of the time

Seems to get hot in the pocket easily

No silent mode? Like wtf? (Mainly for when using Android Wear)

God awful skinned pull down and settings menus

WiFi calling handoff to cellular not really there
[G4 General] coolmaster121:
If you are on the edge, you should go for the S6 Edge :) :)
[G4 General] nipun1110:
Only for international h815 version till date
[G4 General] climo:
I'm noticing a lot of users have many bugs but it seems to originate from carrier based G4's. Seems Verizon has the most then comes T-Mobile followed by sprint. Features removed, touch sensitivity issues and other quirks stated by the OP. But I don't hear many users who have the international versions having these issues including myself who has a H815T. Been using mine for two weeks now and it's been rock solid no issues I noticed. I think the modded software from these carriers are what's causing many if not all the problem. Just an observation. Hopefully these carriers will get there's act together and fix these issues.
[G4 General] SpinningHook:
I'm having issues with the bluetooth acknowledging other devices in general on the VZW G4. If it recognizes them, it lists them as "Misc" and never connects when I try to pair them. I have searched around to see if anyone else was having a similar issue, but haven't come across anything besides the audio issue, which is apparently with a different variant and not related to this.
[G4 General] Kalash:
I want to add a camera complaint.

I don't use the camera much, and having been on AOSP on the G3 for a while, my camera expectations aren't all that high.

Still...

At the bar the other night, I got the phone out and started snapping in low light conditions.

Without the flash, the first few photos were GREAT.

After 2-3 though, the camera REALLY slowed down.

Like.... 2-5 seconds between pressing the "take picture" button to the picture actually being taken. Enough of a delay people were no longer posed by the time it actually took.

This started when I enabled the flash - but continued after turning it off.

This was on either auto or simple - no settings changed at all.

It's been consistently slower than the G3's camera (even on AOSP), with a VERY noticeable lag between the tap to take, and the actual screen flash and preview appearing in the corner.

I remember the G3 being nearly instant when I was on a stock rom.

Overall I've been really disappointed with the G4. I've had issues with apps force closing, this camera thing, data connectivity issues on Wifi and 4g, and other problems that I never expected from a stock rom.

My G3 was better behaved, and I knew what apps I'd installed, or what root functionality I'd enabled that had broken things. With the G4, it's just a mystery.
[G4 General] hyperxguy:
VZW G4 ... a couple of observations:

1./ Notification played a wrong sound clip the 1st few days ... then corrected itself as of late.

2./ Message/Call voice notification doesn't work at all (previous G2 had no issue).
[G4 General] Makster:
Mine is a H815 that is an Asian variant.

I do have issue 1, missing taps, but that happens rarely enough not to become too irritating.

What is definitely NOT working for me is the ability to start a phone call through a bluetooth headset by voice dialing. I would long-press the main button, and then tell the phone whom to call.

Google voice dialing, which worked fine on my GS3, doesn't even seem to be present on the G4, and regular Google Voice Search won't start with the screen off. Voice Mate does, but it conflicts with my Plantronics in that 9 times out of 10 it cuts out and stops recording in less than a second, before I manage to say anything. And when it doesn't do that, its recognition is bad enough to make it unusable.

No other problems with bluetooth, though, either with that headset or with the car's BT system.
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
That sucks. I had the exact opposite happen. I went from Note 4 not being able to do anything when I would try to start a call to the G4 working correctly.

I can certainly understand your frustration with that. More than a few times I found myself yelling into the Bluetooth "NO!" as it was asking me if I was telling it to do something absurdly NOTwhat I was requesting.
[G4 General] Nasty64:
+1. H810.
[G4 General] Makster:
Well, this is actually good news, thank you for that. :)

Is it VoiceMate that works for you on the G4? And what type of a headset are you using? Maybe mine is considered too old these days (it's a Plantronics Voyager Pro+).
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
To be honest, I'm not sure which voice control it is...didn't really do anything other than pair the device to phone and long press the button on it and it worked first try. I will say that the volume of the voice control response is pretty soft, but it works quite well for me.

I have a Jawbone Icon. Picked it up for like $20 bucks a year and a half ago on Amazon. :)
[G4 General] Makster:
Well, thanks again. I tried a cheapo pair of Kinivo headphones, and everything worked perfectly. So I know my $600 phone is fine, it's just my $60 Plantronics that's too old. And that's good news indeed. :)
[G4 General] KoryK:
Dominations.,,

I play the new game dominations on my m8. It is unusable on my g4 sure to freezing and crashing.
[G4 General] Batfink33:
I really can't help but think the G4 has been a big disappointment. LG had a year to improve on the G3 and they haven't done it. A real shame. I'm finished with them.
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
Good to hear that it's not the phone and you got it working. :)

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

I didn't have the G3, so I can't compare the experience to what I have with the G4. It would appear you're using a Note 4. I had one of those (T-Mob variant), and found the G4 to be a very nice upgrade comparatively.

Guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. Could also be the Carrier....the T-Mobile update made a MESS out of my Note 4.
[G4 General] asdecker:
MY WI-FI issues APPEAR much better after a factory reset.
[G4 General] davelee1054:
can someone elaborate on what these wifi issues are?

is the main complaint that it's turning on by itself? or just slow?
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
People are reporting slow speeds. I personally have not experienced this issue.

The other issue was more a missed setting in Advanced WiFi where the device will turn off WiFi when the screen goes off.
[G4 General] asdecker:
My issues were random disconnection and slow speeds. I tested against my G3 last night and where the G4 had network connectivity problems, the G3 had no problems. A factory reset seems much better today
[G4 General] Batfink33:
I switch between a Note 4 and G4 as my daily. The G4 disappoints me. Gameplay is stuttery, I have missed touches and I get lags just like the Note 4. I see no real improvement over the G3 and absolutely no improvement over the Note 4. You're right though, it's subjective.
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
Yeah...I don't play games on my phone except Pou. Yeah, yeah...have a good laugh at that one. My 6 year old insists we play it together...me on my phone, her on her tablet. I tried to get away with checking Facebook and she caught me and said "Hey! You're not playing!".

For me, where Camera, Screen quality, Ease of use, Calls, Messaging, some social media, and Storage were my biggest wants, it's perfect. But I can see how it might underperform in some high-intensity gaming. Yesterday, I was trying to unzip the stock-rooted rom to help someone out, and the phone got all sorts of weird. Had to reboot the phone and just give up on trying that LOL
[G4 General] KingFatty:
My issue has been whether the phone recognizes my earbud headphones when I plug them in. Sometimes, my phone incorrectly thinks I'm instead plugging in a full headset with mic, and launches the voice app to receive a voice command. But all I'm doing is plugging in my regular old non-microphone music earbuds. This morning, when I plugged them in, my phone didn't acknowledge them at all, just kept playing through the speaker instead of switching to the headphones. I just unplug and replug and it's fine. But never had such issues on my previous phone where I used the same earbuds (so I don't think it's a problem with the headset). Because I see two different problems randomly (not recognizing them at all, or mistaking them for headset/mic), I'm hoping both issues are just due to software confusion.

So I'll likely factory reset today and see if anything changes.
[G4 General] TheChefSLC:
My issue is that my wifi is unstable. Using it to transfer any data it will become unstable and need to be cycled off in order for it to work again.
[G4 General] rsbenedict:
For me it's overheating. My phone gets hot doing mundane things. It even gets hot when it's just sitting in my pocket. Tune-in Radio, Youtube, Periscope, talking on the phone all cause the phone to register temperatures of 107F and above. (obviously not running all at the same time). I've never had a phone get so hot (both top of glass and back around buttons gets hot). I use this phone like I've used all my past phones and never had a phone get so hot so quickly so consistently.

I'm on TMO H811D.
[G4 General] megamanfre:
My issues are missed taps/swipe mistaken for tap, overheating (but it's been hot and humid in jersey for a few days when it's happened so I don't really count that yet), decent Wi-Fi speed, but a terrible connection in places my S5 had perfect connection, and general lag with the phone and scrolling.

Battery life isn't all that great, but I'm also a moderate too heavy user, so I never expect great battery life. And the charge rate really isn't terrible so long as I use the charger that came with the phone, and it's noticeably quicker with a quick charger 2.0 charger.

I plan on swapping it at verizon this weekend and hoping it's a faulty phone and not something I have to deal with until an update is released.

Actually just received this email from LG
[G4 General] fineazbro:
well i bought mine 2 day ago been having all the problem mention above i paid $635 for this and i think its unacceptable will be returning it in the next couple days. oh by the way do you know if t-mobile still going to charge me $50 fees even tho this device is defective?
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
Need to mention 100% your reason is that it's defective. If you just say "I don't like it", youll get the fee. If you point out things that are not working right, you won't. I returned the Xperia Z3 I bought because the messaging app didn't work to my needs... No group sms, pic mms didn't work right half the time, etc. I explained that it is defective for what I need it for and that I wanted to return it for a device that I felt would work better.
[G4 General] fineazbro:
will give it a shot ..thanks i hope it work
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
It should. Just make sure you keep saying defective....not dislike. [emoji1]
[G4 General] bayniner:
So is their a fix for the wifi problem dont know how much longer i can take this, its killing my love for this otherwise awsome device
[G4 General] 06stang:
Not a single one of those problems on mine. Guess I got a good one
[G4 General] kingwaffle:
Is anyone else seeing bad EDGE/3G/LTE handoffs? I've twice caught my phone with "full signal", but no data connectivity. After toggling airplane mode off/on, it accurately shows the signal bars and re-establishes data.

I'm also noticing strange bluetooth behavior where it sometimes doesn't pair with my car until I go into the bluetooth menu and manually select my vehicle.
[G4 General] slip666knot:
I've returned mine today... An issue with the vibration (must be some loose plastic or the motor of the vibration).

Exchange for a new one, until now no issues!
[G4 General] rsbenedict:
What version are you on/carrier? It might be a setting that wasn't set properly in the hidden menu.
[G4 General] bayniner:
Also having the bluetooth issue with not connecting to my car
[G4 General] kingwaffle:
815T/T-Mobile (USA)

Edit: Just tried turning on Fast Dormancy...I'm wondering if that's what you were referring to?
[G4 General] PunishedSnake:
No issues here only lag i see is in chrome
[G4 General] rsbenedict:
Yes, that's exactly what I was referring to. :)
[G4 General] player911:
My big issue is the random LED status notification light. It only comes on at night, randomly. I'll see it blinking, and there will be no notification. I had this on my G2 and Lollipop too. I have a thread in both forums about it. I don't have many apps installed; mainly Messenger, Facebook, SnapChat, XDA, Nova.
[G4 General] cleankutazn:
Chrome lags a lot for me.
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
I have noticed this as well...almost like the device is saying "hello...I'm still here". Though it doesn't happen all the time. I am wondering if it's related to the fact that I didn't clear one of the "smart suggestions". I wiped out the notification for it, but left it there (drop menu off weather clock widget) because I planned to take a look at it when I got a chance.

---------- Post added at 06:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 AM ----------

You mean won't pair at all, or loses/won't connect after?
[G4 General] 06stang:
Try using lightflow to override. I've been using it with no issues.
[G4 General] bayniner:
I have a hard time paring it with my car, i have to turn bluetooth on n off and search for bluetooth everytime i get in the car, once it connects its fine until i leave car of course
