[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
How are you using adb? You know adb will only work in recovery mode (TWRP) right?

Fastboot commands only work in the bootloader.

Adb commands only work in recovery or while the device is booted to android with usb debugging enabled.

Unfortunately I'm not to up MAC OS but if your using adb in recovery and it doesn't see the device it's a driver issue or maybe a different version of TWRP may help. Which version of TWRP is currently installed?

The easiest way to get this fixed would be with an RUU. But because the device is s-on you will need a signed RUU from HTC. These are all in exe format and will only work with Windows. Do you have access to a windows machine you can install adb/fastboot sdk on? Or are you stuck with the mac?

I flashed (I think it's called) my vario 2, so now I seem unable to get on to T-ZONE. I tried typing in

http://wap.t-mobile.co.uk to see if this would direct me but no joy.

Basically what it is t-mobile now do mobile TV and have free passes still the end of this month but you need to get onto t zone, and I can't anymore :(

Is there a way around this please and how do I do it?

Will I need to find the original vario 2 rom or can't I just change some setting ?

Also tried the www.t-zone.co.uk, no joy !

ok I have a Samsung galaxy s5 active from att I followed wolfdr0ids tutorial on how to root it but I must have did it wrong or missed something because after I flashed the root ker.tar my phone rebooted odin3 said it passed but now when I turn the phone on it stays at the Samsung boot screen for a good 5 min then it turns off and goes to android system recovery menu every time sry if this doesn't make any since its my first thread and im not sure what to include. I have been searching threads and googling for hours and this is were I end up as a last resort. any ideas how to fix my problem
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Just wanted to see how much people like their G4! I personally love mine and think its the best phone I've ever had so far.

I believe you need to be on computer browser to vote.

BTW, no root and twrp for the G4 H811 is driving me nuts, so this poll will keep me temporarily sane! :)
[G4 General] paulie72:
For me an 8.
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Please vote! I hadn't finished the poll before you posted! :)
[G4 General] drewrasmus:
9 for me. Love it.
[G4 General] officerdoofy:
I put 9 I guess based on the descriptions it's between a 9 and 10 for me, there are some small things that need to be improved like the missing taps on the touchscreen, terrible top pull down menu-everytime i scroll across I find myself accidentally turning off or on something I didn't want to, screen brightness at max level is a little underwhelming ...etc but nothing really deal breaking for me. Overall I'm satisfied with battery life.

I would not return this phone for anything else out there at the moment-that pretty much sums it up
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Some of those thing could probaby be fixed with an update or custom rom.

My deal breaker was wireless charging. But now that I installed and modded a Chinese wireless sticker, that put the icing on the cake for me. Look for that thread if u want one.
[G4 General] Phurkus:
At an 8. Phone heats up kinda quick in my opinion. And i thought the battery would last alittle longer that it does
[G4 General] psygnosi:
10 for me. Coming from a LG G3—>Note 4->Note 4 Edge->Nexus 6 to this phone. Im just waiting for the ordered skinomi glass screen protector and verus verge gold case. I got the gold plastic back version of the phone. Also waiting for Supershieldz glass protector， spigen carbon fiber case， i-blason prime case，and UAG ash case w/glass screen protector.:)
[G4 General] Swizzle82:
I'm an Lg loyalist in all my electronics. I loved the G2 and had none of the problems others had on the G3.. Until Tmo effed up lollipop, It was the best for me. I love the G4, but I honestly expected more, especially from the battery. Overall I am still happy with it and like the look, shape and feel better than the 3, but the G3 just ran better for me. I do love having smart lock and the other additions. I hate that they removed smart screen and Tmo again left off the user accounts though. I get better signal than my other phones so that's a plus. Who knows maybe this replacements battery will be better and I'll be happy, I have never been a custom rom kinda guy. I like the Lg stock experience and really just do a few simple mods and tweaks to fine tune it.
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Mine only gets hot when uploading to my google photos. Battery life seems better than my G2.

I had that gold case. Looked very elegant but was too slipery for my taste. Ended up getting the gold Spigen Neo Hybrid case that has a nice grip to the back.
[G4 General] chocolatet:
Ehh not sure maybe 5. Coming from s3,and note 2, 3, 4. Maybe my hopez were a little high. Becore samsung i was huge htc guy. I was hoping to gdt away from sammy because i dont want anything that looks like and iphone. But my battery is terrible and i miss having a physical home button because when im in the camera app. I always seem to end going home. These may just be gripes i have. I really love the leather back and the bomb photos they have. Something is missing from my note4. I cant put my finger on it but i have two more weeks to figure out was it is
[G4 General] audscott:
I've been around the flagship block that last few years: Note 3, G3, 1+, note 4, Nexus 6 and now G4. I've been rather schizophrenic about it, the missed taps and studdering are my complaints, but I's sure a custom ROM will readily nix these, so I'm staying with the G4 to see what the note 5 will look like.

Rated it at 9....pretty damned spiffy.
[G4 General] zPacKRat:
given the criteria, I gave it a 10, I've had a tilt 2, LG T501, Amaze 4g, G2, G3 and now the G4 as well as the following work phones droid maxx, some other droid with a keyboard and LG gs4 and HTC one Mini. The LG G4 is better than all that have come before and I do love it.

Compared to the G3, better contrast/colors, camera, volume, battery life, BT audio in my car. If I had one complaint is that I don't care for the metallic boarder, it will eventually chip and look ugly for those that go without a case. while it's no game changer, it's a great evolution of the platform. now if it had the battery life of the G2 then I would give a 10+.
[G4 General] knoshann:
8.5
[G4 General] LeaninBack916:
9.5 so i went with 9. Size is great and reception is phenomenal with lte going fast and bluetooth connection taking little time to connect. Could list positives for days.

Gripes:

#1 Auto brightness - indoors its too light in good artificial light and darkness. Makes viewing angles bad. Hopefully they can update it to be brighter. Outdoors is great.

#2 Concept software unpolished. There should be more smart options (work settings maybe or other setting options). Same goes with dual screen mode.. Limited apps.

#3 G4 bootloader struggle... I plan on having this a while but it sounds like a xda bounty mission.
[G4 General] jbdan:
I give mine an 8. You can fix #1 above by using the free play store app lux lite

[G4 General] Zachhockey2:
2. I'll most likely return it. My touchscreen misses taps (especially during knock code input), has issues charging, and isn't rooted (yet). I have the 810. I came from a note 3 which is a beast of a phone and I can't justify paying for this phone when the note is better in many areas. I'll miss the G4 camera, though.
[G4 General] MADDAN18:
5

10 - if bootloader unlock is achieved
[G4 General] Ryeemo:
9 For me as well. I love this phone. The only improvement could be the battery life for on screen time along with the restoration of functions removed by VZW. Aside from that, it's a great phone and personally I'm glad I had chosen it over the S6/S6 Edge.
[G4 General] fire3d:
10

why?

There's always a "This can be better, or this ......"

This Device is a few weeks old, the Firmware run's quite well for the first release, if there are some glitches ..... who cares.

Happens alway's for new product's.

My first LG was the 02x, followed by 4XHD, G2 and now G4 - remembering these Devices let my Eye's glow when using the G4.

(also i owned S3,S4 - i don't liked them)

Like it or not, depends alway's on you :)

[G4 General] Uncle Lizard:
8.7
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
I gave it a 9. I really like it very overall and feel that while it may not do everything perfect, it does nearly everything extremely well.
[G4 General] player911:
I gave it a 9. Coming from the G2, I had high expectations. Overall it feels like a bigger G2 (which isn't a bad thing) but most of the issues I had with the G2 and Lollipop are still lurking on the G4.

I guess it just doesn't feel as big of an upgrade as I had hoped. The screen is fine. The size is fine. No general complaints outside of the bugs.

Using the phone "FEELS" like using the G2 CPU. I do not notice any real speed improvements. I was running stock 39A Lollipop 5.0.2 with Root on my G2. Overall it feels like the same experience. Not too many new features software wise BUT I picked LG again because I really love the software and it works fantastic, so that isn't a bad thing.

The G2 was the best phone I ever used and I liked it so much that I ran the stock rom the whole 2 years (major accomplishment!). If the G4 can carry its weight like the G2 has, which is still a fantastic phone, I will be super impressed.

My worries are root and recovery, at this point. I am glad to see Root was gained, although it seems you have to blow up 2 G4s to obtain it. Fortunately for me that I REALLY dig the Lollipop style and theme so much that I do not really have a desire for stuff like Xposed. I would like a Center Clock Mod and perhaps a way to hide some of the insane amount of icons in the status bar... but on a whole I am happy.

Edit:

The Camera is noticeably better.
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Now this must be the most amusing post I've ever seen on XDA! lol, lol Classic!
[G4 General] SpinningHook:
8, but mainly because I am still getting use to it. I'm sure that with root I would like it better (and devs, please don't take that as an underhanded "hurry up;" I appreciate your work and am waiting patiently) as it would restore some of the functionality that I have become accustomed to and have been pampered by (I am just mainly concerned about getting rid of bloatware). Otherwise, I have to give LG credit for cleaning up their skin a fair amount from what I remember it being for the G2. And some of the customization options that they have added have made waiting for roots and roms that much easier to do.
[G4 General] Makster:
It really is the best phone I've ever owned, which is not surprising, considering that my last one was a rapidly aging GS3.

However, it can certainly be better, so 9.
[G4 General] eliteconcept:
like it, loved my g3, like this phone. really needs QI charging though built in
[G4 General] gboybama:
I went nine.

My progression was HTC Tilt, Galaxy S2, HTC One M7 and now G4. So, it's the best phone I've had, easily. Enjoying the UI and overall experience.

That being said, I miss Greenify and Titanium. Looking forward to the code warriors out there on XDA providing us noobs with a reliable root.
[G4 General] FrankFieb:
9 for me.

[G4 General] barondebxl:
There arent too many like me lol. If i put how many times i have owned those phones youll have a heart attack. Good thing i didnt list the tablets....
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
I know how you feel. At one point, I had some 15 phones lying around at my house that were not being used.....though some were for development. :)

The G4 feels like it might have staying power enough to keep me until next Spring/Summer releases come out.
[G4 General] barondebxl:
For me at this present time the only reason why im keeping the G4 is cause of the removable battery and SD card. Im going to California next month and ill be out a lot taking pics and all and i cant have a phone with a sealed battery plus i need lots of storage for those photos.
[G4 General] pcoulson:
For me this is a 9.

I came from a fully rooted Galaxy Note 3 with lollipop xposed (having always had Samsung phones) and had everything set up just so... but it was just too bloody big and heavy. Aside from that, it was perfect.

When I heard about the G4, I watched every Youtube review available for a couple of weeks and came to think that what I wanted in a phone was:

i. not necessarily the most powerful one on the planet

ii. one that had a screen of a manageable size (5.5" fits the bill).I also really like the shape and square edges. Easy to hold/control with one hand.

iii. has a great camera

I do think the screen saps the battery unnecessarily and a 1080 would have been fine, but enjoy the fact it looks so good when watching video and when looking at pictures.

Can't wait until this thing is rooted. Hoping to do it using a method that doesn't leave a "bootloader unlocked" message upon boot. So am happy to wait for a while. In no rush.

Magic phone - hits the sweet spot for me in all the most important areas ( screen, size, weight, camera, speed )

Cheers!
[G4 General] barondebxl:
Root would be so awesome on this phone. Then a cloudyG4 rom would be fantastic ?
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Where my best bud Cloudyfa been? Haven't seen him yet in the G4 section. I like his multi-varient international roms.
[G4 General] barondebxl:
Yeah i havent seen him either. Maybe he is in the lab working with the chemicals ;)
[G4 General] GTabJosh:
I give it an 8, objectively. I looove my G2, so when I heard that the G4 was mostly an iterative improvement on the G3 (which in turn was largely an iterative improvement on the G2), I set my sights squarely on the G4. I wanted a large, attractive screen, an excellent camera, and a solid battery. The screen is certainly larger and the fonts are smoother than on my G2; otherwise, I'm not sure I can give an edge to either. The screen on the G4 seems to have a higher maximum brightness, but that is a setting I might use 3 minutes a day. I haven't tested the camera much, but it looks great so far, and the experts seem to agree. Relative to the other current flagships, the battery life supposedly is a strength.

Subjectively, though, I give it a 6. I've been using my G2 and G4 side-by-side, and the G4 is chewing up its battery. Yes, I know, it's faster, has a larger, denser screen, is not running an optimized OS like my G2, etc etc. Well, this is my subjective review, and the G4 doesn't blow me away (other than the camera, which seems to be a huge improvement). The OS doesn't seem to be much improved over my G2's. I'm not saying there's a phone out there that would knock my socks off -- but I would like to try an S6 Edge for a week.

I did my homework before my purchase, though, and from what I read the G4 meets my needs best. I don't have other current flagships to play with now for comparison. The opinions expressed above are based on a very narrow range of experience and do not constitute a review in any form. These are simply my unsophisticated opinions.
[G4 General] Chyeo1979:
7 for me.

Had the border be metal instead of plastic, would be a 9 for me.
[G4 General] omersak:
Solid 8/10 for me. Good battery (for a 2015 flagship), Good screen, amazing still camera, micro sd and removable battery.

Points taken off due to minor issues such as plastic chrome edges, video quality, it being annoyingly wobbly on a flat surface, the UI and occasional lock-ups/stutters.
[G4 General] dontbeweakvato:
I voted 9 cuz of the damned locked bl.
[G4 General] rsbenedict:
It won't be forever. In the us, it has barely been out a week. Give them some time. Jeesh!
[G4 General] Jay Rock:
So far, as an upgrade from the Galaxy S3, a 10.
[G4 General] Svartsyn333:
After 3 days I'd say 9-10, especially when compared to the G3, which I had before. Display, camera, all is so much nicer than on the G3. I too face the missing and accidental touches others do, though. But I know this can be fixed by updating software. Patiently waiting for a version to safely unlock the bootloader and Root. This is a quite strange feeling for me, as I never owned a device so shortly after release before. Always rooted within ~2h after unpacking.

[G4 General] agentscuba314:
I really enjoy the phone, I miss the default LG Browser and I wish the battery life was a little better. I find myself turning off features to make sure I can make it through a day and half with my usage(Battery saving GPS/Auto Sync).

Now I do love the screen quality and the camera on this guy, one of the best cameras I have used on the mobile device.
[G4 General] Mystikalrush:
9!
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
Yea the camera is just amazing on the G4. Last night I took some night video which were unbelievable like I've never seen before on any phone. Its like the camera is nocturnal or something able to capture little light with absolute clarity. My G2 couldn't of been able to take the video that the G4 took.
[G4 General] agentscuba314:
Yea I definitely agree with you on that one. I haven't had a camera this great on a phone in a while. Especially with the manual mode if I don't like the white balance that the auto mode chooses. That feature in itself was one of the best features on the HTC devices.
[G4 General] 20degrees:
I'd give it a 9-10. It has a ton of storage with the free cards, I'm never tied to a charger with the extra battery. It has a great feeling back so I don't need a case. It also is almost the perfect size.
[G4 General] Semantics:
I gave it a 9. I sent it back due to touchscreen issues, but I was really digging it. What could have been better? LG Keeping smart screen as a feature. What a stupid omission.
[G4 General] bikrame:
9 on 10. Because of unimpressive multi window.
[G4 General] jairusz:
I would give it a 7 or 8 so far. Disappointing battery life, missed keyboard inputs, sporadic lag and UI stutter are what I find a downer.
[G4 General] cpufrost:

It's apparent that LG's engineers must be deaf. Still, this device cannot properly record audio!

The SIM tray is near impossible to use, microSIM still?

It just feels cheap, sorry. A leather back isn't going to make up for say very (dare I say it) Samsung-esq feel?

The cutout around the headphone jack is very sharp and catches on everything that plays perpendicular to it, not nice!

The nav bar is HUGE. Probably a fault of the ridiculous DPI and fixable but still. LMAO, the (scaled) resolution of this device (go to whatismyresolution.com) is 360x598! Ok so most phones are scaled, at the resolution they run you'd need eagle eyes to see at unscaled but still...

IPS glow/low contrast. Not gonna (ever) get the blacks that AMOLED has. Some said going from the Nexus6 to this was a big upgrade. Really? Looks quite the opposite here. I did calibrate my N6 display however and pics on it match my mac's 5K calibrated display. Can't quite seem to get this with the G4.

It seems to run OK, no touchwiz so no surprise there. Also it's on 5.1 so comparing to the S6 variants on 5.02 isn't valid. When those are on 5.1.1 it's going to be fast and slippery as Clark Griswold's "sled ride" :cowboy:

I dunno, this isn't an instant turn off the G3 was but it's no upper echelon as some are claiming it to be.

The camera is definitely nice and I'd say it's a tossup between the S6 and this. The S6 has bad audio recording too (boo!) but the G4 is worse from what I see so far. I may, time permitting, get some audio samples into a DAW for analysis to see what NR is doing to destroy quality. Zooming (not so bad with UHD video) messes with panning but it could be picking up some infrasonic artifacts from my finger pinch zooming across the screen. Again, running it through the DAW will tell all.

Have not tested for IR filter (yet), the sammy phones have no IR filter present which makes taking pix/video of hot things a challenge once again. The iphone (sigh) has a strong IR filter as it won't even reveal activity from any TV remote IRLED. Unless you have one of the rogue ones with the overdriven Stanley diodes! ;)

But with the limitations (no root, locked bootloader, etc.) and IPS LCD I'd say it's probably the best looking LCD I've seen in a phone. The speaker gets plenty loud, about as loud as the Note 3 and 4 with a volume mod and without the crackle when playing some annoying synthesized ringtones, etc. So that's pretty good. But HTC Boomsound it's not.

And two other things. Lack of wireless charging (one you get hooked on its convenience it's hard to get along without it!) and fingerprint reader! The S6 is very close to Apple's implementation and it's nice to have it. Neither are dealbreakers of course but I'm surprised they did not have wireless charging out of the box.

I'm a nitpicker, what can I say?
[G4 General] baileyjr:
Definitely the best phone I've ever had. Best prior to this was the G2. I had the G3 and while I appreciated the increase in screen size it was a step backwards in terms of performance/responsiveness with appreciable lag at times. The G4 however is as great. Always rooted previous phone with the G4 I don't think I'll bother which is almost unthinkable for me. I'm running #NoChromo to have add free web browsing so have no need to root.
[G4 General] BACARDILIMON:
Give me root and debloat and I let ya know
