[G4 General] brownk2j:
After agonizing over whether I should wait for the Note 5 or not, I cracked and managed to get myself an LG G4 from WIND on a Tab upgrade a few days ago. I'm speculating the Note 5 will emulate the S6's design language and drop the replaceable battery and expandable memory, though of course nobody knows for sure until the usual August announcement.

Manged to snag the G4 promo accessories as well (charger/extra battery/32GB MicroSD card) :D

So far:

Likes:

-Battery is a bit better than my Moto X Pure (2014), though I'm hoping to see a bigger difference in-between now and the end of my return window. I realize with WIND the phones have to work harder due to fewer towers/weaker signal/more congestion, but still...(however, the standby time is excellent)

-Like the rear buttons and tap-to-wake/sleep. Still partial to the Moto X's waving, but LG's solution is just as solid. Knock-On is pretty cool as well!

-The camera is much better than my Moto X, even though it's only been on Auto Mode so far

-Excellent Screen, very zippy overall! 5.5 inches reminds me of my old Note II, liking the extra screen real estate

-Leather is a nice, unique extra

Concerns/Minor Annoyances:

-There doesn't seem to be a way to Mute the device without jumping into Settings/Interruptions/Priority? Tapping the volume keys and then hitting the gear only brings up a sort of quick settings volume menu

-It seems our Canadian version has followed the US counterparts and fully *disabled* Guest Mode? Can't seem to find it anywhere

-The UI is....OK. Like every non-Nexus, I will probably be shifting to Nova Launcher if I keep the phone

Overall, it's a solid phone, and I'm thinking about keeping it, even though I had promised to make 2015 the first year I'd avoid buying a new device:angel:

Does anyone know of any reputable place to purchase the brown leather backs in Canada?

Hi what is the model # of your wind g4 ? H812 or something else? Any one else with a wind g4 willing to confirm?
[G4 General] bustervic:
Check out post 563 in the progress thread. They have the exploit just trying to make sure it's friendly and doesn't get patched right away.
[G4 General] brownk2j:
The model is H812. I believe this is the model for *all* carriers in Canada re: LG G4.

If anyone is curious about compatible bands, I've nabbed this from Bell's website. I assume it's accurate:

LTE compatibility Bands 2/4/5/7/12/13/17/29

HSPA/UMTS compatibility: 850/1700/1900/2100 MHz

GPRS/EDGE compatibility: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

Only unfortunate bit is the lack of LTE Band 3 (1800), which is used quite a bit in Europe/Middle East. However, some carriers in those areas also use LTE Band 7 (2600), so it's not a total loss.
[G4 General] AegisValour:
With some Americans models getting updates that supposedly fix the touch screen issues. When do you guys think we will be getting ours?
[G4 General] hondaguy:
My g4 had some touchscreen issues and I ended up exchanging it and the new unit is much better.

I still have an issue with Wi-Fi showing a good connection but no data gets transferred. Its driving me nuts
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
Hey for Bell and rogers g4 owners, what is the model name on the back of the phone. Mine says h810.
[G4 General] thegregulator:
Mine says H810 as well (Rogers). I'm pretty sure my Rogers G3 said D850 though and it was an 852 model.
[G4 General] rgs2:
Anyone know of a accurate and nice looking weather widget for Canadian weather? I use the Canada Weather app for accurate weather but it doesn't have much of a widget and all the US apps using Yahoo weather et al aren't particularly accurate for the Maritimes. Weather Underground is pretty good but haven't been able to get it to work in Chronus.
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
Accuweather has been good for me
[G4 General] gwertheim:
Weather network is pretty good
[G4 General] tveith:
I was getting extremely annoyed by slight lag and touchscreen misses the past week. Changing developer options seems to have largely fixed my touchscreen issues, particularly when typing on the Swift keyboard. I changed animations to .5 and enabled Force GPU Render. Huge difference.

Update: Problems seemed better but still missing key / screen taps next day. Not sure if I should return this phone for a different model (maybe S6 Edge) or get a replacement LG G4. This issue is driving me absolutely bonkers.
[G4 General] ludester:
Hey guys

Thinking about getting the G4 as I'm not too pleased with my OnePlus One currently (constant network signal drops, as it keeps hunting between lte and h+). Does the G4 have this issue? Compared to the Galaxy S6 does the G4 support the same LTE bands (want to ensure its future proof if Bell decides to use additional bands).

Also one thing I hate about the OPO is the microphone clips very easily when in a bass enriched environment (recording video) has the G4 experienced any of these issues ?
[G4 General] spartan268:
+1 on this. It's good but not the best.

On my sisters iphone whoever the heck does the weather over there is better. They actually said it's 'Smokey' around my area (Forest fires). Whereas my phone just said SUN SUN SUN
[G4 General] rgs2:
Not too good for the Maritimes. I find weather underground better
[G4 General] tveith:
Tried just about everything to fix missed key taps / unresponsive touchscreen. Seemed to be better after forcing GPU in developer options and changing animations to .5. Next day, still missing taps and seem to be back where I started. Seeking some advice: Should I return for another LG G4 and try again, or should I ditch this phone altogether and go for an S6 Edge?
[G4 General] gwertheim:
I'd just try to swap it out for another before you abandon the phone all together
[G4 General] spartan268:
Not sure if you tried already, but you can download SGS Screenbooster and amp up the sensitivity (First setting) to something like 90 and see if it helps.

Mixed opinions on the success of it, but super easy to do and doesn't hurt to try.
[G4 General] tveith:
Thanks for the suggestion, but using it already and hasn't made a difference. Really disappointed with this phone. The screen issues are making me hate what could be an extraordinary device.

[MENTION=3279860]thegregulator[/MENTION] Any way to have this thread stickied? Might be helpful for people to find.
[G4 General] thegregulator:
I thought a MOD had to sticky it. To be honest, there isn't a ton of stuff in here that's specific to the Canadian G4 anyways!
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
Yeah, this is probably correct. Can anyone suggest that, or does the thread author have to?

Some people were being directed here from the lounge for root info, which is why I asked. Appreciate the response.
[G4 General] thegregulator:
I have no idea how to go about stickying a thread. I don't mind asking though.
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
Cool. If I can help, let me know, thanks!
[G4 General] sharky2010:
This is a great thread guys. I'm not noticing any issues with my screen, how wide spread are the issues?
[G4 General] Negan:
Guys only a moderator can sticky a thread.

Anyone on bell get the free SD and battery? I see it advertised on the Rogers site but not bells. Makes me think bell craped the bed on this one. If so i may have to just buy one from rogers and unlock it
[G4 General] thegregulator:
I asked to have the thread stickied. I'm an S6 now but there's a decent chance I'll be going back to the G4.
[G4 General] spartan268:
Awkward moment where your thread is going to make it to the top. Doesn't even have a G4 anymore

It's very much hit or miss with this. Some people are doing perfectly fine. Others have felt like throwing their phone out.

Me personally, it's not THAT annoying, but I do get the odd time where it feels like my touch didnt do anything.
[G4 General] GetPatriotized:
So apparently our variant doesn't support Qi? I ordered a sticker 2 weeks ago and I just found out now :(
[G4 General] CraneGuy:
Looking at getting this to replace my cracked note 3, any word on root?
[G4 General] cottageboy:
when you get it let me know...I have a 815 EU model, I will take it off your hands..
[G4 General] spartan268:
Still a work in progress.

There has been some success stories so it's definitely coming eventually. Just a matter of having a safe stable release

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gipikay:
Well, after a couple of weeks with my shiny new ZE551ML (RAM 2GB) purchased overseas in a trip, today the big bastard fell and cracked the glass .

So a new screen (complete screen, even if touch and LCD still works but don't want to mess with heat gun) is on the way via Aliexpress, I've done some similar procedures on more complicated phones but can't find any official procedure or documentation for this one, maybe too new?

So anyone has a PDF or webpage with the procedure?

Best I could find is this, but many pictures are missing

Bout the best one available at the moment. Looks fairly simple to do, especially if you are replacing the entire screen assembly, not just the glass.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gipikay:
Thanks, at least it's better than the one I found. But no specifics instructions on replacing the screen (separating the last housing from the old panel. Glue? Heat Gun? Double tape?)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammaul:
I do not know unfortunately. I would think it is tape, as most tend to be tape, but I couldn't say for certainty.

Nice to see someone succeeded, I laughted at the big hard drive lol Those 3.5'' HDs are huge. 30$ for the 5.5'' 1080p screen is pretty good, there are for 20$ too.

I tried once replacing an iphone 4 lcd but the problem ended up to be the motherboard.

btw Does anyone know where is the Intel GSM modem located on the motherboard? I see nothing from those pictures about the modem. I could not find a reliable way of disabling it, tried scripts, deleting dial etc apks and /lib/ril files, cellphone still searches for signal with no sim inserted and airplane mode on.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gipikay:
Back when I ordered, this one was the cheapest and the only one for ZE551ML (now the same vendor lists the screen as USD 25).

If I could guess, the modem should be in the upper board, under the metal shielding (the stock pictures indicates two visibles intel chips under the enclosure, maybe a third in the right, and one down in the board)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz07:
Thanks, so will it need to be unsoldered for removal? I only use voip and cannot use gsm anyway.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gettohhole:

Did you replace the glass only, or the entire screen assembly?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gipikay:
This is the one I've ordered, even if it says for ZE550ML (mine is 551) the part number and battery is the same (I think the difference between models is the screen resolution)

EDIT: I leave the link, but this seller sent me the wrong battery, see post #21. Now I'm waiting for AsusParts to ship me a new replacement

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helroz:
If you install 550 screen on 551 phone, it's possible you must install rom for 550 on 551, the big difference is the dpi.

Did you test it already? Does work?

Sent from my ZE551ML
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gipikay:
The new battery has not arrived yet :(

But a couple of scares aside ( if I completely drain the battery, it takes a litlle longer to reach minimal charge to power on ), the old battery seem to hold for the moment.

EDIT: See post #21, the sellers sent me the wrong battery, I think it's for Zenfone 5. Now I'm waiting for AsusParts to ship me a new replacement
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 6742307:
Be careful

If anyone tries this, use extreme caution. I exposed some cells on the battery and a little smoke came out. I don't really know what to do from here because I'm afraid to continue this further. I guess I'm out of a 300 dollar phone and 30 dollar screen

Hi all

I ordered ZE551ML for my ZE550ML .... and the person already shipped so couldn't change the order

is it only PPI and resolution ?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hiwa@:
Hi guys

Failed ... Got the 551ML and mounted on 550ML

Mounted all out of the box... Not removing completely the broken screen.

Main board and battery connectors only.

You guys think anything can help ?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gipikay:
Well, shoot, I've just found out that the battery I ordered got a different connect, will try to solder, but I think I screwed up. So unless I got a defective unit, 550 and 551 don't have the same connectors for the battery. I asked for a refund at AliExpress, and would have to look up for a new battery for 551 because the original one started heating.

[IMG="original"]http://i.imgur.com/HS9VfvC.jpg[/IMG][IMG="replacement"]http://i.imgur.com/DdCzWJD.jpg[/IMG]

The square on the original (says VER B1) is thicker than the one I've received (says VER A) , so it does not fits the motherboard :(

Replaced screen

Hey guys, I did a whole screen replacement but I'm having issues. I wanted to see if you guys can help me trouble shoot. I had a cracked screen that I removed and got further damaged during removal (can't use it for trouble shooting). I placed the new screen in and ensured all connections were put back together. The problem I'm having is that the screen is receiving power, back light turns on, but nothing at all is displayed. Phone powers up and functions except for the screen. Double tap to wake works and the backlight comes on but that's it. I've reseated all the connectors with the same result. Any other ideas?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calico_NC:
im in the same boat as [MENTION=2797980]alexjez05[/MENTION], i cracked my screen ordered a replacement, re-hooked everything and nothing displays but i can see a faint backlight. The phone works, I can double tap to wake the screen (you can notice a faint backlight), receive phone calls etc, just no display from the LCD. I thought the screen was defective so i ordered another from a US vendor, still no luck. Same issues. I wonder if its something that im doing wrong or maybe the screens are wrong. I noticed on the ribbon on one of the screens I ordered from ebay has the model Ze550ml written on it even though the model number I ordered was the ZE551ML. Maybe they're not a direct swap? As you see im confused as well. My phone has just been sitting for about a month now because I dont know what's the problem with it.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hiwa@:
Exact same problem here too. no back-light.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calico_NC:
i really hope someone comes up with a fix or a reason as to why when swapping screens we have no display
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexjez05:
Maybe something we're missing or low quality control on this part? The model number is the same on both screens of mine.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hiwa@:
Put back original screen and same no backlight..
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexjez05:
The OP seems to have been the only successful one so far. What are we missing here?

I'm thinking it has to do with the top cable going from the screen to the board, but I've made multiple attempts to make sure it's on there correctly.

The eBay seller I used appears to be aware of the issue but they don't know what it's attributed to either (user error or either wise). I'll be getting a replacement soon. Will see if that was the issue.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calico_NC:
let me know what happens as i have bought 2 from different sellers and neither worked. one was from China, the other was from the US
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gipikay:
I'm sorry that your replacement screen did not go that well :(

As for the battery, I think Asusparts.eu is selling the one I need, with the right connector ( VerB1 ). AliExpress issued a refund for the wrong one, but Asusparts is a litlle more expensive. So check the pictures before purchasing.

I've posted before which vendor did I use for my 551 screen, but YMMV
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammaul:
These must not be oem displays, and sounds like a firmware incompatibility issue

Do you mind linking the actual display you bought from Aliexpress. I don't seem to see it in the thread.

I just replaced my screen yesterday - same issues; blank, black screen with back light on.

FYI this is the screen I bought on eBay r.eb ay .co m /fCPlmR. (Had to split the link up because I've got under 10 posts.)

I'm wondering whether there is a requirement for the phone to initialize new hardware / hardware changes? I haven't tried putting the old screen back in, but based on someone else's post, it's strange that the original screen would not work, too.

I was pretty careful when I took it apart and put it back together, so don't think it's an error on my side. I also took pictures along the way, so happy to share those if anyone has questions about how to get it apart.
