[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruffio_:
first of all thank you for taking the time to read through this.

Yesterday I woke up and reached over to check my LG G3. I had left it charging overnight as I usually do and while the phone was still plugged in and I tried to go through my notifications, the screen flickered and went off. I was puzzled cause the phone was fully charged and the screen has no cracks and barely any scratches. I was trying to restart it and the LED light started flashing as I heard a notification sound.... I proceeded to take out the battery hoping thatd help out and nothing.

I thought my LCD took a **** on me but I tried to restart the phone once more about an hour later and then the LG logo came on shinny as ever. Then the AT&T logo, I thought all was well but then the screen flickered again and went off. A few moments later I started to hear more notification sounds and I saw the LED light start blinking.... everything in the phone works except the screen.

I changed my sim card to an old blackberry knock off so I wouldnt be cut off from the world while I went to work and when I came home I tried to play with it once more and the phone started working normally! As I was playing with it I raised the brightness and the screen started to flicker again but did not shut off. I immediately brought down the brightness and the phone seemed to work normally I then tried to open the camera and the screen went off completely same happened when I tried to refresh an app. What could this be? the battery? currently I the screen doesnt stay on for more than 10 seconds and does not work at all when plugged in to charge

Also in the last couple of weeks I was experiencing overheating but I assumed it was because of the rise in temperatures and the fact I spend most of my day outside and Im constantly using my phone. I am also guilty of using my phone while charging.

Any input you may have is going to be helpful. I need to figure this out as I use my phone to work more efficiently.

Thank you in advance!

I am having the same issue. I'm going to contact LG about this on Monday.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasyakym:
got answer ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exeqter:
Yeah, they changed the entire display and said that the error could come from a defect battery. So i bought a new one and hoped for the best.

I still had the error today. I will try installing another rom so I can be sure it isn't the software.

Or else LG will be getting it again.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exeqter:
Well, they got it again... Twice. They changed the LCD panel and the mainboard. It seems that the latter fixed it. I got it back on Saturday and haven't had any problems since then.

Fingers crossed ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruffio_:
I forgot about this post but I used my warranty last year and got a new phone or refurbished. They didn't tell me. Here I am a year later with the new phone and the same problem came back. The only thing that seems to work is baking the main board at 350 for 10 minutes and letting it cool down in the oven for 30 yet the problem comes back. After a week or so. I'm convinced the overheating of the phone is he culprit
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jonahtriangle:
I am so not happy about this. I had many other issues with my Note 4 and now I just noticed this strange microphone in the right corner. It is very faint in the picture but noticeable. Has anyone else had screen burn in on the s6 or am I the only poor sap? Now I have to go through the exchange warranty BS. Every time they give me an exchange warranty replacement I get a phone with more problems than the last. I was so happy with this phone since I got it brand new except for ram management issues but now this. I dont even know what stupid app burned in that microphone symbol. Probably another gift from Google. Ughhhh.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
My S6 has a dark spot in the top left corner. I can only see it on certain backgrounds. I would exchange it, but it didn't effect anything. The device functions as good as can be expected for what it is. You said it yourself, even you do an exchange the next device is worse than the previous. Not worth the chance to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
Don't you guys have warranty through Samsung still? Manufacturer warranty rarely replaces your phone most of the time they repair it. I think if you request they repair it there is no chance of getting a different phone unless it's fubar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jonahtriangle:
Unfortunately Tmobile hires a third party company to do the exchanges. It is the same company that handle the insurance claims, like if you drop your phone and brek the screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Prashantoberoi:
Try n disable S-voice, it may go away..let me know if it does.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
No, you don't talk to tmobile at all for manufacturer warranty. The only downside to getting it repaired with Samsung is you might be without a phone for up to 3 weeks. I guess if knox is tripped they might deny the repair but if that happens they would just send your phone back. I have a feeling they would just slap the guts of the old phone in a new frame (that should include new screen) then make sure it boots up without even checking the warranty bit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Towle:
I only talk to Tmobile for warranty issues. They send me out a replacement via next day air shipping, then I return the defective device with the included prepaid shipping label.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
Personally I'll pick repairing my phone over a refurb any day. Plus 90% of the time you need to pay a deductible with Tmobile, Samsung is free. To each their own, I have spare phone and can go a few weeks without this one if need be.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Towle:
0% of the time you pay a deductible to Tmobile [emoji6]

The only time you pay a deductible is when filing an insurance claim for physical damage or loss/theft.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
How do you not pay a deductible outside of the 14 or 20 day period?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Towle:
You just don't. Tmobile will handle all warranty exchanges for free (you just pay $5 for next day shipping). If you pay for insurance, Tmobile will give you free warranty exchanges for as long as you have the device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
That's good to know. I think I would still rather get it repaired than possibly getting 20 refurb lemons before finally getting one without any issues. I'm a weirdo when it comes to pre used devices, the littlest thing will bug me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] abhinav.tella:
I was just looking through the S6 forum and saw this thread and Minnesotans at that lol.

I had that experience with my Z3 on my 8th currently, first 4 brand new in store exchanges (14 day period), last four exchanges occurred recently after many months hey were refurbs and they actually they send the devices to the manufacturer and then get them repaired and send them back to TMO so its pretty much the same as getting your device repaired but with a faster turn around time, ie 1 day shipping from T-Mobile vs much longer delay from manufacturers. If you are getting duds like I did it means the manufacturer's repair facility itself is doing a bad job, meaning even if you go directly through the manufacturer it more than likely wont be any better and you will have a much larger turn around time on top of it. TMO is much easier to deal with, Sony for example asked to do a software reinstall to rid of light leak between frame and glass and wasted time before they agreed its a hard ware issue and said it would be a three week turn around time so I decided to just keep exchanging with TMO which is much faster.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
One of my coworkers dropped his phone and claimed insurance to get a refurb, well six actually. There is no way the manufacturer got the phones he was getting, I'm pretty sure the insurance company and tmobile just flips the phone unless it's has screen or water damage. In the end he settled on a imperfect phone because he didn't want to deal with it anymore. Only complaint I hear about manufacturer warranty is how long it takes. A secret they probably don't want you to know is Samsung has service centers in most bigger cities and some will have a phone repair guy. If you are lucky enough to live close to a Samsung store (not best buy) they will fix it no question.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] abhinav.tella:
Oh wow, well thanks for the info good to know, I was shocked my self with my 8 (Z3) exchanges, in that case whoever does the repairs is a veteran amateur. TMO told me wrong I guess.

The offered to cancel my $425 of remaining monthly phone payments and tax if it happened again and said I could get an S6 or G4. Still a loss of $200 I already paid though, fortunately last exchange was good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jonahtriangle:
I got lucky. I took the risk and sent it to TMO. They actually sent me a brand new device. This one is good so far. I use Google maps for GPS all day. I wish there was an app too act like a screen saver and flicker the screen black just for a second every few minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Towle:
Fortunately this is not the case. All devices they send out are certified refurbished and there is absolutely no signs of previous ownership. I have received my fair share of refurbished devices from Tmobile via warranty exchanges, and the only way I've been able to tell that they were refurbished is by the box they came in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jonahtriangle:
Actually every single one I have received was used. They look an seem pefectly new however the one I just got was indeed new. I use a program called Samsung phone info. This will tell me how many times the headphone and USB charger have been attached to the phone. A brand new phone from Samsung has 6 times from Samsung installing the operating system and testing. I have recieved all my phones with numbers in the thousands. This time was 6.

I hope there's an option to not update for a while to see there are any "issues" after updating....I have a Nexus 5 and I'm still on kitkat due to all the battery life issues people had when updating it to lollipop....and it's a flagship google device!!!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] sacto7:
Hope it doesn't come with CleanMaster as a pre-installed app

As the title says, hope that lollipop doesn't arrive with the installation of CleanMaster Malware. The malware CleanMaster got installed on my ASUS memopad 176c & cannot be truly "uninstalled"; it keeps resurrecting & keep getting notification that an update is available even if I "uninstalled" it; when the notification arrives, CleanMaster shows as "installed" again.

CleanMaster is in "/system/app/CleanMaster" & cannot be deleted by an unrooted device. So, how does one change setting?

Read statements that say Samsung is/will be installing CleanMaster even if it is a malware & trojan.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] boufa:
Every device has had some issues with every update. Period, this is nothing new, this is never going to change. Most of the issues are fairly rare, but of course those are the loud ones. ALL, every single one of the Lollipop upgrades for my variety of devices have been either ok, no big deal, or wonderful enhancements to an already good device.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] phstrat:
I'm as anxious as anyone about getting lollipop but I would just like the option of waiting a bit after the update until others have tested it out. The tab pro8.4 is my first Samsung device and wasn't sure if samsung automatically update you or if you have the option to wait and update at your leisure so to speak. Have you done a Samsung update and know if you have the option of updating when you're ready or no? TIA!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] smknutson:
It will alert you that there is an update, it will not automatically update
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] divie:
I'm never gonna update to lollipop. It runs smooth, i get 10 days battery with 7+ hours screen time and lollipop itself is bugged as **** anyway. Why fix something that isn't broken?

Btw, my knox and everything is frozen anyway, so I doubt I will be able to update in the first place.

[HTC Desire 510] GKNByNW:
Hello, all! Just joined up to post a few questions. Every Android phone I have owned has been rooted and a custom ROM installed, so I am no stranger to all this. I'm finally getting around to replacing my ancient Motorola Triumph (Virgin Mobile USA) and for cost reasons I am seriously considering the Desire 510. I'd love to get the Desire 816 but that's out of my current price range :( :( Anyway, I have been reading the posts here and over at Android Forums dot com and I am confident that I will have no problems with the 510 should that be the phone I end up purchasing. But I've got several questions before I make a final decision.

1. Can anyone tell me (or how can I find out) if the 510 from Virgin Mobile USA is the 32-bit or 64-bit phone? I wasn't able to find much information except something online (unrelated to Virgin Mobile) that says the U.S. version is 32-bit while all other countries get the 64-bit. Since that information is now several months old can anyone confirm that it still holds true, or is there a possibility that 64-bit devices are now available in the U.S.?

2. If the Virgin Mobile USA version is indeed 32-bit, is there anywhere I can get a 32-bit ClockworkMod recovery? I see a post here for a 64-bit CWM but couldn't find mention of 32-bit anywhere. Nothing against TWRP, just that I have been using CWM since Day 1 of rooting and that's what I'm comfortable with. Also, before flashing a new recovery, how do I go about making a backup of the stock recovery.img? I imagine there's a way to rename it (i.e. recovery-stock.img) or copy it to my PC for safekeeping, but I'm not very familiar with Android SDK. (My current phone does not need SDK for anything. Simply plug in, copy new recovery where it needs to be, and reboot.)

3. What, exactly, is the write protection that I have seen mentioned all over the place? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it *SOUNDS* like rooting and/or installing a custom recovery and/or installing a custom ROM essentially cuts off SD card access until a "fix" is applied. So if anyone can offer a simple explanation or a link to some information, that would be fantastic.

4. Taking #4 into mind, what do I need to consider in choosing a kernel? If it matters, I have been looking mainly at CurbThePain's RevMod, but also LarryBoyG's RaptorRom GPE v2 and shinru2004's Unofficial CM11.

I know that's a lot of questions all in one place but I figured I'd start somewhere. Any and all answers are appreciated, and any questions for me will be answered in as timely a manner as I can. Thanks in advance for any info you guys are able to provide me.

EDIT:

5. Supposedly this phone has 8GB of internal memory but all the screenshots I see say it has 4GB, and most of that is taken up by the operating system. I was just reading the reviews on virginmobileusa.com and almost every single one of them is negative, focusing on the fact that nobody can download more than a few apps before the phone runs out of memory. What's the official internal storage for OS and apps, 4GB or 8GB, and how does the memory look after a custom ROM is installed?
[HTC Desire 510] pattyboi:):
honestly,id skip the 510 and go for the 816 any day of the week. even if its more expensive,if i would have checked this thing out before i bought it after breaking my moto g,i would have bought a new moto (cricket dosent carry the 816)
[HTC Desire 510] GKNByNW:
Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm sorry for taking so long to get back and respond. Anyway... Yes, pattyboi, I am in total agreement. After reading reviews on Virgin Mobile USA's website and Amazon, I am definitely NOT going for this phone. Virgin no longer carries the 816 though it is still available new through retailers on Amazon, but the $180 price tag is a bit more than I want to spend on a phone right now. The other phone I had considered was the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime but it looks like that is only available for their Data Done Right plans, unless I am misunderstanding something. I don't really get what the whole Data Done Right thing is. It looks to be cheaper than my current plan ($45/mo. for unlimited talk/talk/1GB data) but I think Data Done Right is only for multiple lines. Also, I looked up the Galaxy Core Prime a couple weeks ago and it doesn't look like there's much information yet in regards to rooting and custom ROMs for that particular phone, so I might want to wait a while.
