I average about 4.5hrs screen time. I just surf, etc though. I don't game.

SoT is actually not a great way to judge battery life, as it matters WHAT you are doing with the screen on that determines how much you get.

If you text and surf, you will get a LOT more SoT than if you play games and watch videos.

Anyone having problems installing the device drivers on Windows 8.1 or 10?

I tried on both my laptops and can't get it to work...finds the phone as LGE MTP Device, phone goes into Download Mode. I see the 0% progress bar, but my driver has an " ! " on it and in the properties says "The device cannot start (Code 10)"

Finds it perfectly when booted up, just gives me the error in Download Mode. LG Flash Tool doesnt work, says "Cannot connect to server??"

Anyone?

Tried the United driver and Verizon

Edit: Port.bat seems to detect the phone as DIAG on COM4...but LG Root Tool gives me an error every time I try to flash the KDZ...tells me cannot connect to server

Edit2: Alright, tried LG Flash Tool again and it randomly seems to be working...weird lol
[G4 General] Azure1203:
There seem to be extra capacity batteries on Amazon.

I saw a 3500mAhm, and now a 3800mAh.

Worth buying for some extra juice?

http://www.amazon.ca/3800mAh-Capaci...ie=UTF8&qid=1441678404&sr=1-30&keywords=lg+g4
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
Read the description... Says comparable standby and talk time.

No extra juice in there I'm afraid. Stick to a reputable brand like Mugen, zerolemon, Hyperion, etc.
[G4 General] Ramsey:
I'm really happy with this phone. I don't need a custom rom/kernel/unlocked bootloader to be happy. I'm content that we can root if choose to and change a few things in build.prop and customize the phone with root.

I don't want a phone where I have to heavily customize to be able to use it normally. I had to do that my Galaxy S1, M7, and M9, and it is so time consuming and full of bugs.

This awesome G4 has lots of features, excellent cameras, great and super loud sound quality (I'll eventually root and install viper or dolby for even better sound quality), superb screen, really nice leather and design, and rear buttons (I love the texture on those buttons). The slight curve is useful and a smarter decision over the S6 Edge. This is the first LCD that I really enjoy and I don't miss AMOLED after using this. This is the first phone that I've had where battery drain doesn't occur when it's idle. I wake up with either the same amount as I had it before sleeping or 1% less.

I'm just waiting for Rogers to give us the OTA to 10f and they're taking time (I won't flash Telus over this, I want to keep it stock). I'm wondering if Rogers is taking time because they want to implement the fixes from Google for other bugs? I think some US phones are getting other updates for that.
[G4 General] mousetamer:
Rogers can easily send the security updates as a separate patch. It really sucks that they are more than 2 weeks behind the other Canadian carries. They are probably too busy dealing with that Navigatr fiasco right now.
[G4 General] CasseTrop:
No gaming, IG, browsing... much worse then my last phone, a Z3, same usage. Idle is horrible too.
[G4 General] Ramsey:
I have superb battery life in idle with the G4. Get Greenify even if you're not rooted.

Sony Z2/Z3 have really really good battery life so we can't compare the G4 to those unfortunately.
[G4 General] Kr0m100:
I'm still waiting for the update from 'c' from Bell.
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
"c" is the latest official from Bell. 10f would be the next one, unless they get something newer or change the scheme.
[G4 General] rgs2:
Good post. I agree completely. This is just a terrific phone with superb battery life, screen, etc. Even some of the Qslide apps are well thought out - especially the calculator - and have become my goto choices. So far there's nothing compelling that makes me want to root.
[G4 General] 1uknowleast:
Couldn't agree more, I demo'd a unit (Corp Plan) from Bell and it was great.

Now I just have to wait a 2 more months until im eligible for an upgrade or risk it and wait for the rumoured LG G4 Pro.
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
Well for everyone complaining about battery life I m on the 10f wind version rooted, and I can't complain about the battery life so far it's been great.

So yeah maybe there is an app that u r using that is draining the battery. I would suggest looking into using greenify.
[G4 General] mousetamer:
Looks like you Bell guys will be getting your 10f soon http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
Just saw that and came to post. I'm on the Telus 10f now, and I'll most likely flash this later today.
[G4 General] k3mik4l:
anybody tried to download the bell update? everytime i try it just takes me to a page and the download wont start.

[G4 General] knasmall:
Please excuse my noob response but i am coming from a note 3 where i was putting custom roms on it all the time. Will the phone give us the option to update or do we have to install KDZ (like samsung kies?) to get the update. I have checked the website and i see that there is an update to 10e but when i ask my phone it says its running the latest (10c).

Is it ok to flash over other carriers images? I would rather go with the 10f if i could. Don't really care about VoLTE

so i got a question .

i want to sell my lg g4 but i flashed the telus KDZ H812F on a rogers phone

is there any problem? lets say they go with WIND

would there be any problems with the phone ?
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
From what I have read on the thread here, most are just flashing images of the other carriers and its working for them. If you go a couple of pages back you can see.
[G4 General] k3mik4l:
Is there a rooted bell image of the latest update available yet?
[G4 General] GibMcFragger:
Shouldn't be. They would have to add the Wind APN, but it should be good to go after that.

I just got my Rogers h812 today and am stoked. I am new to this rooting gig with respect to LG devices. Can anyone have some patience and either link me to a step by step on how to root my stock 10h, or give me a step by step? I am currently downloading both the system.rooted and systemurooted images i found on this thread for rogers, both are 10b. Thanks to anyone willing to point me in right direction
[G4 General] Ramsey:
New update for Rogers. Got the ota now. 10h 21 August it says and it improves battery! Bluetooth and email app. I'll post screenshot later on PC.

Hope it includes fixes from 10f.
[G4 General] hondaguy:
I have been having issues with WiFi. It will work fine for a few minutes and then stop transfering data for a min or so and then work again. Very noticeable when on the web as the first few pages will load fine then it will start to load a page and then never finish.

Bell unit. Anyone else notice WiFi being flakey?
[G4 General] AegisValour:
Just picked up one from WIND, my touch does seem off so far but I haven't taken off the screen protector which is probably the reason for this. Didn't include headphones, but I did receive the promotion bundle.

For those using the leather back -- is it evenly centred around your camera lens?
[G4 General] thegregulator:
Picked one up on a temporary Wind number. Didn't want to port over in case it didn't work for me. And it didn't. Their network is awful if you're used to having LTE. I'm just going to buy the phone from them and unlock it and put my Rogers sim in.

[G4 General] Tiexemius:
I live in the Niagara Region (St. Catharines) and went out at 10 AM on release in hopes of finding the G4, keep in mind I had just went on a contract with a brand new G3 with Virgin 2 and a half weeks ago, but it was lagging and stuff so although I loved it it didn't feel like a flagship. I went to Rogers, they said they wouldn't have the phone until later in the day. Went over to Bell, found out Virgin is owned by Bell, was told I was the first person to buy the phone, got approved instantly for a contract with a $300 credit limit (Keep in mind I'm 18).

We set up the phone in store, was stoked to see it was the black leather backed case, asked if they had any accessories, they said yes and they actually gave me the official LG QuickCircle case for free, then an affinity clear case for free, and a quite honestly.. ****ty screen protector absolutely free, I just ordered the Spigen Neo Hybrid in champagne gold lastnight though . The guy also said 'Your the first person to buy the phone here, I'm going to give you $50 off' so it was my lucky day. I ended up paying $180 after tax and sim card charges, I was bummed to find out that the cases weren't working properly with the leather back but when I looked inside the G4 box I found a plastic back so I was happy, I alternate between the two depending on what I'm doing.

Fast forward to today, and I couldn't be happier, this phone is snappy as hell, it's by far the best phone I've ever owned. I gave the G3 to my mom and she's paying the bill for it.
[G4 General] thegregulator:
So I unlocked my Wind G4 and popped the Rogers LTE sim card in the phone. Yeahhh, Wind just won't cut it..
[G4 General] RPAusCan:
I had a similar issue (different plan, but similar responses). I was all set to buy the phone outright, and then tried calling again. The fourth person I spoke to said yes, I could upgrade and not have to change plans. She put those notes on my account. I then went into a Rogers store, they phoned and verified some info and I have my new phone! Still on my old plan. I hate that you get a different answer every time you call.

Good luck with your situation.
[G4 General] thegregulator:
I just got a G4 from Wind instead. I paid the $12 to unlock it but didn't port my number over just yet. If I can make it work with the slower network then I may port my number over. At the very least it's easy enough to do early renewal through Wind or pay out the remainder of my balance and go somewhere else. Plus, unlimited data is intriguing.
[G4 General] HighTowerDV:
Thanks for verifying that! I was hoping all the bands were left enabled including LTE. If I ever need to switch out of Wind I can do so without any worries.

---------- Post added at 08:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------

Can I ask who you used to unlock your WIND device? I got quoted $30 by Wind.
[G4 General] thegregulator:
I used unlockunit.com

Took about 10 hours to get the code.
[G4 General] spartan268:
After doing some consulting with buddies and hearing you guys. I'll probably fight with Rogers to keep my plan.

Considering I have the corp plan for $70 ($60 after applying the $10 credit per-month. 1GB data) this should be very much fair to them. I seen people with grandfathered plans where they're paying $65 a month for 7GB so it's the least they can do. But what do corporations care right. If all else fails, buy from WIND, unlock. Pop in SIM. Profit.

Nice to see that the Canadian batch here so far as not as many issues for the touchscreen. Mostly just QC on the screen scuffs though.
[G4 General] GibMcFragger:
I have had mine a day, and I friggin love it. Yes, it misses the occasional touch, but I installed SGS Touchscreen booster and it's 99.9% better. That tells me it's software, so it will be fixed in the future. I have a tempered glass screen protector, and it still registers 99% of my touches.

As for the screen scuffs, I never noticed any when I checked, and the glass protector would hide them anyways.

No lag for me, and battery life has been awesome (4+hrs SoT, but I don't game). I get a full day of surfing and using the hell out of the amazing camera.
[G4 General] GetPatriotized:
Almost bought mine from Wind today, there were out of stock, until tomorrow they say.

Is it possible to buy it outright? I was thinking of switching to Wind and try it out for a week. Buying it outright of course. If I'm not satisfied I'll go back to Rogers. (Currently on a BYOD plan)
[G4 General] force70:
Just like the G3 the CAN G4 version has 2 problems for me.

1- ceramic white is not available. I don't know why LG seems to think giving Canadians one colour option is okay?

2-the bootloader is locked.....again.

If I get one ( and i passed on the G3 for the above reasons) I would be getting the EU version which allows the bootloader to be unlocked and i can get it in white!

current devices: Nexus 6, Note 4, 3, 2, S3, OneX+
[G4 General] GetPatriotized:
How would I go to do this? Currently on Rogers. Do I just say I want a temporary line?
[G4 General] thegregulator:
I just told them I wasn't sure if Wind was going to work for me and I wanted to try it. They gave me a number on a free sim and told me I could port over my Rogers number when I decided what I wanted to do.
[G4 General] GetPatriotized:
Ah I see. How much did you end up paying that day? Might just do that myself.

BTW I'm in Mississauga ON, maybe different but I'll give it a shot.

Any help greatly appreciated ill even donate if it leads to a successful root
[G4 General] Ramsey:
This 10h update should include the 10f, I'm pretty sure because I can now separately control notification volume and ringtone volume (finally!). I didn't have major touchscreen issues so that's why I'm not able to tell right away but I feel it more responsive. Hopefully battery life has improved, I can't tell right now as I'm still on 100%.

[G4 General] k3mik4l:
Wow bell really dropped the ball here unless a new update comes fast.
[G4 General] Miketoberfest:
Yea no kidding right? Have the other carriers received this 10e update already? Assuming it was prior to 10f?
[G4 General] Ramsey:
No idea. I don't like how carriers don't give a full change log! that's annoying. You have to figure out what they did :(.

I hope I got that camera functionality improved update with my Rogers 10h.

That's where Apple/iPhones excel, they all get the same updates with the same update version. I suppose Windows Phones also.

Oh I just noticed something in the camera app for us with Rogers' G4. In video settings you can't select slow motion but it's now under the Mode!

So we did get the camera functionality upgrade. I think also focusing in lower light is a bit faster, need to test more.
[G4 General] sniperess:
Can I flash the Bell rom on to my Rogers phone? It's unlocked on on Virgin Mobile.
[G4 General] GibMcFragger:
Can someone do a dump of the Rogers 10h system image? Then we can inject root.

It's odd how it doesn't mention the camera update that 10e does. They were all on 10c before, so they should all need the same updates. I wonder why the update version numbers are different across carriers (Well, except for Telus and Wind).
[G4 General] Usraek:
You can find the Rogers update here by typing your IMEI:

I can't wait, I'm going to flash to stock, update, wipe my phone, then re-root!

[G4 General] Ramsey:
Problem is I can't seem to download the Rogers kdz from here: http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=Canada

I just get a not found page. Anyone manage to make it work?

I don't need it since I got the OTA but just in case I root and need to return to stock.
[G4 General] Usraek:
I don't have any Linux set up either. I did some playing around with VirtualBox/VMWare but I couldn't get drag+drop file transfer working without both programs just crashing or becoming non-responsive so I gave up as I didn't want to set up an elaborate network share.

I guess what I'm saying is that I'll dump the image once I manage to update (unless someone gets to it first), but I'm hoping that someone else will be able to manage a root (and possibly Xposed install) on it.

See my post above, click it and search by IMEI number which you can find in your Settings->About Phone->Status

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------

Perhaps you may have better luck in your attempts than I if you try VMWare/VirtualBox and download a Ubuntu disc to install. It was really quite easy, the longest part was the download. Both of those virtual machine software have quick install settings for Ubuntu built in.

My problem was crashing when I tried drag+drop file sharing between guest/host. May be something wrong with my setup.
[G4 General] Ramsey:
Lol no, I know how to find the kdz that I need or any Kdz and I see the "Download" buttons but when I click them it takes me to a not found page (or a white page with nothing in Chrome). Did you try?

Same thing happens when I put my IMEI and click Download.
[G4 General] munsifb:
It says on the website .

Or use this direct link.
[G4 General] Ramsey:
Thanks, that worked. I don't see that info on the link I use to check for updates. They should fix those links.
[G4 General] Usraek:
Ah sorry, I thought that you were having trouble locating it, my bad!

I actually hadn't attempted to download yet as I'm at work and just making sure I could actually locate it.

Thanks to the other person for digging it up.
[G4 General] GibMcFragger:
Thanks. I may give that a try if I get the free time today. Once we get the system image uploaded somewhere, there are plenty of people here that could inject root for us if it comes down to that.

Next: dump system image and inject root.

Update: DONE!

Root injected. Time to flash! Cross your fingers.

NOTE: I did a dirty flash over 10f, so my System.img isn't fresh. I assume it has all my info/settings in it, so I won't upload it.

HOWEVER, if someone else here does a clean install of 10h and dumps their image, I will root it for all you Rogers users and upload it to my Google Drive, since I now have working Ubuntu. :)

Check what port it's connected to, put it in send command mode, then paste the correct command......and wait.

[G4 General] bitbitbit:
Please keep us updated about the performance of 10h once you have more time with it :) If it's not as good as 10f, then there is almost no reason for me to go back to the Rogers software. I am pretty happy with the Telus 10f.

By the way, your personal data isn't stored in the system partition.
[G4 General] GibMcFragger:
I will! It's seems an about the same so far. I'll check battery life tomorrow after a full charge, and let you know.

I know the feeling though. Other than VoLTE being absent, the Telus 10f was running ace on mine before.

It's not? Where is it stored? In the data partition I assume? If that's indeed true, I will just upload my rooted 10h Rogers system.img for anyone who wants back on the Rogers update with root.
