Yep. Going to wait until the Nexus 5 drops and then I will probably be selling my G4. Software is bull**** and the mod community is non-existent for my edition. Took MONTHS for root like wtf? lol
[G4 General] flamadiddle:
AMOLED screen

Front Facing Speakers

Reasonable resolution for performance/battery life
[G4 General] wargreymon89:
SD820 is all I want, for better batterylife. Had the G4 since the start, and I haven't had any problem with software or lag, barely felt any difference between the updates. I have an unlocked version and only apps in it from start were LG and Google, zero extra bloat.

Don't care much for fingerprint scanner, and would only prefer one when it gets integrated in the display.

Waterproof would be nice, but not a huge concern.
[G4 General] Heisenberg420:
I want a g4 with front facing stereo speakers and a better audio processor/dac

Also don't get why everyone wants a finger print scanner. Just like face unlock they will never be as secure as a pin or swipe code. Had one on my old laptop that let nearly anyone in not sure if finger print reading technology has changed since then or not..
[G4 General] chrisrozon:
My wishlist is unchanged for the last few years - multiple day battery life, unbreakable screen, water proofing.

I can deal with the rest :)
[G4 General] DoKaTSuYa:
I want

- metal frame with back leather or metal

- front facing stereo speaker

- 100% quality Jpeg and Raw

- No more mic zoom which change the sound weirdly

- Fingerprint I don't really care, but why not because all flagships will have it.

- better dac ?

- more curved ?

- and better battery life like all smartphones...

The G4 is already great otherwise.
[G4 General] Krokogator:
I want:

-unibody made of unobtainium

-optical zoom up to 20x

-battery made of nanotubes that can charge in 5 minutes and can give us 24h SOT

-4 axis OIS

-dna scanner for better protection
[G4 General] AhsanU:
Fingerprint scanners have vastly changed since they were used in old laptops. The Huawei Ascend Mate 7 that I have is a very clear example of that. The fingerprint scanner works 95% of the time as long as you record it properly. It's also extremely fast despite running Huawei's bloated software too. No one could get into the phone either, unless they had my pin code of course. Fingerprint scanners have come a very long way.

My G4 still misses plenty of double taps when I try to wake it, it gets very frustrating at times. Having a fingerprint scanner would fix that issue, as long as the scanner is accurate of course.
[G4 General] marcadam:
An unlocked bootloader and some decent development.
[G4 General] RenaKunisaki:
Unlocked bootloader

Not full of bloatware

Buttons on the side/top

Actual fast charging (and support for it with the included charger)

Water resistance
[G4 General] dedovec:
- No fingerptint or front stereo bull****, instead of this i want much much much thinner bezels

- No more soft onscreen buttons

- USB- C

- Removable back cover, bigger battery and microSd support

- Carbon- kevlar body and frame

- 5.5" FHD display for better battery life

Double battery life, less heat.
[G4 General] lorsban:
Water and dustproof

Slimmer

That's it!
[G4 General] Eric618:
If they scrap the removable battery, I'm gone. It's the main reason I switched from Samsung a few months ago.
[G4 General] johansson:
i find it perfect as it is.
[G4 General] rav101:
Changes:

Screen size: 5" - 5.5"

Resolution: 1080p (I don't see a difference with 2k and it takes more juice)

Sound: Needs to be improved, I came from the M8 and found it far superior

Bootloader: Option to unlock all. Again coming from M8 I notice far greater custom rom development because devs aren't wasting time trying to get around a locked Bootloader and root availability

Needs to keep:

SD Card slot

Not bothered about:

Fingerprint scanner

Overall it seems like none of the mainstream manufacturers can develop a flagship that is good in all area's. Taking away the discussion about what is good for one person isn't good for another, LG = great camera, HTC = Great audio, Samsung = Great Screen.... I would love an all rounder type of phone
[G4 General] drivel2787:
I came from the note 4 and prior to that the nexus 6. I think the phone is perfect O have zero complaints. I did purchase the EU 815 so I have an unlocked boot loader and root. I'll never buy another Samsung. All those complaining about root taking a few months I sold my Note 4 because last I checked it still didn't have perm root.
[G4 General] Matroid:
Game lag/stutter(maybe kernel problem?) compare to my old SS Note2(Custom TW rom+fully optimized) has 10x smoother on almost game than G4. dont know why :S
[G4 General] Onestay:
The sweet spot for me is about 5.3 - 5.5"

Iris scanner would be really cool. Unlock your device by just looking at it. Some real future stuff :p

3500mAh Battery

Clean UI
[G4 General] fpsq:
Exactly! Tune down the bezels, put a bigger battery in and a stock version of Android.

And NO fingerprint scanner for me! Even if I belive my fingerprints are not send around the globe, which I don't, what good is a security mechanism which every cop can and will force you to disable. Thanks but no thanks.
[G4 General] geoff5093:
Everything but the camera. Seriously, the camera is the only thing good about it IMO.
[G4 General] RenaKunisaki:
Yeah, I don't care for fingerprint scanners. They're usually not very reliable. Either they reject authorized fingers half the time, or they accept unauthorized fingers half the time. Either way is not really useful. And fingerprints aren't precise (due to dirty fingers, growth, cuts, moisture, slight differences in angle and pressure from one read to the next, sensor noise...) so they really never can be reliable. Plus even the best systems are easily fooled with such tricks as sticking a printout of the print on your own finger and licking it. Just give me a PIN entry that isn't hideous, and maybe some NFC ring that will keep it unlocked while it's in my hand and locked when it's not.

I think the G4's thermal protection is very aggressive. It gets pretty hot and then it will scale down things like CPU speed and charging rate to keep cool. For example it won't fast charge while the screen is on (and some people report it also won't when the battery is over 50%). It makes sense - heat destroys batteries, it's pretty hard to keep a CPU cool in such a small device, and I hear previous LGs had some overheating issues, so they made sure to keep the G4 as cool as possible.

Maybe you could install a little fan in the back cover... ;)
[G4 General] DsturbD:
most of what people are looking for is in a phone already. it's called the Saygus V2 (V Squared). it is a true global dual sim unlocked phone, with a removable battery, 2 (yes 2) micro sd slots, kevlar and metal body, waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes, wireless HD streaming with dongle, usb-c, big camera, 64gb onboard, dual front firing Harmon-Kardon speakers, fingerprint scanner......

can only get it right now through indiegogo for $650 USD, or if you want that HD beaming dongle, gotta go with the $770 option. i for one am SERIOUSLY considering this phone

https://www.saygus.com/

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/saygus-v-squared#/story
[G4 General] rav101:
That phone hasn't been delivered yet, has already been delayed once and the developers have pretty much gone quiet to their customers on delivery date or any other sort of update.... I would stay well clear until they can prove they can deliver a product.
[G4 General] AhsanU:
Yeap, that and the fact that it's also a smaller screen. It also doesn't look very pretty IMO. I'm the type of guy to not put a case on his phone, and that thing on its own is not a looker. I'd look at the phone and think "egh" every time.
[G4 General] rav101:
Personally I'm okay with a 5" screen. I think that is the right size for my hands. With regards to looks, I also don't think it's that bad but I agree that it isn't as nice looking as other phones on the market.
[G4 General] fpsq:
No news since April. I wouldn't trust them with a single dollar.

[G4 General] Kendosis:
metal or aluminum bezel, this chrome plated junk is terrible q.q
[G4 General] roosta:
[MENTION=3434714]nexy33[/MENTION], Yeah, don't think the G4 UI does a great job handling "handfuls" of apps...and I say this as I consider myself a LIGHT user and ALWAYS get rid of unused programs and bloatware! It's not the most stable and gets 'laggy' the more you add.

Front facing speakers is what gives HTC their own unique look (and IMO, a FUGLY look). so switch to HTC if that's more important. Water resistance would be nice.

My wishlist:

1. Unlocked bootloader for all flagship variants - let us ENJOY the phone to its fullest potential

2. Screen could do with a reduction. 5.5" is the maximum i'll go. 5.1" is a much nicer fit.

3. Improve low light noise levels in camera's settings by either fractionally reducing apeture to f2.8 and app more/better 60fps support. ability to control apeture would be nice, but I'm probably REACHING there.

4. Revamped UI, separate notifications as opposed to 'one notification for all' saving downloading of 3rd party apps/root.

5. Above comments RE: features could do with a change.

RoOSTA
[G4 General] joshuadjohnson22:
Not true, look at sony and Motorola they pull off front facing speakers with little or decent size bezels. There are ways you can hide it. Just one front speaker is fine for me just don't blast it in a direction away from my ears. The new nexus devices are going to that and I think eventually everyone will

Edit: Really from an engineering standpoint you can have the speaker on the back and tunnel the sound to the front like what we do with our hands when "cupping" that allows just a tiny opening on the front of the device so you can keep the design exactly the same and have great sound
[G4 General] DsturbD:
this thread isnt about what phone is perfect now, just what do you want on your perfect phone and for me, the V2 is pretty much it. whether it will ever deliver is beside the point, but im hoping
[G4 General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
On the contrary, your post below sounds much like this is the perfect phone to have.

How does what you've said here^^ coincide with the title of this thread:

What do you think the G4 is missing/what could the G5 have to be perfect?

I don't see where this mentions "what do you want on your perfect phone"
[G4 General] DsturbD:
ok ok sheesh, you guys are too dang literal :)
[G4 General] creaky:
I just wish they would allow you to silence the notification when the phone is fully charged and the boot sound.
[G4 General] panpjp:
What should be improved:

- WAAAAY stronger material for the bezel (I scratched it on day two... and it's been bugging me horribly ever since)

What could be improved

- USB Type-C

- 2k screen is overkill, but reducing it would cost their marketing dept. a fortune

- Beefier GPU

- A bit more RAM

- Bigger battery

Perfect things:

- The design

- Camera + manual is godsend

- Smoothness

- CPU performance is reasonable

I'm extremely happy with this phone. Didn't get an S6 which is only CA$100 more (TELUS contract) because frankly, I think it's a jumbled-up iPhone with random design elements (Charging port, headphones plug and speakers aren't even aligned properly!)

Its only saving grace is a futuristic SoC...
[G4 General] AhsanU:
I know them feels. The top of my phone is dented all over because I refuse to use a case with this phone. I'm not exactly complaining, but it does feel like the material that's used could be improved.

But I refuse to use a case because the phone is so pretty and sleek without it. Throwing on a case makes the phone a bit too difficult to use with one hand, so I guess it's a trade off.
[G4 General] n9las:
The inability to adjust the ring and notification volume separately is annoying too say the least.
[G4 General] elcom:
Am I missing something?

Seems like each has it's own volume...
[G4 General] n9las:
My volume settings are different than yours. Interesting.
[G4 General] gabripo93:
Battery and lags!

I'm afraid due to multitasking performance (maybe Android 4.1 but I'm not sure) and battery life..

BATTERY LIFE INDECENT! I come from Z3 and it had twice of this battery life!

Multitasking performance full of lags (maybe Android Lollipop Memory leak)
[G4 General] Cor-master:
I think hardware wise it's fine. Only thing I'd change about the design is a metal frame instead of glossy plastic, and front facing speakers, maybe actually have Qi built into all battery covers next time, and leather or soft matte coated plastic backs next time.

Software is a mess. First dpi needs to be set correctly to take advantage of the bigger screen, making the phone 5.5 inches doesn't make much sense considering they fail to take advantage of the extra screen real estate. Secondly extra features need refined or they have to go. No sense in having multi window it it only works with 4 Google apps and LG apps, and things like smart bulletin are useless. Don't need a blink feed that serves as nothing more than a way to advertise features of the phone and give me shortcuts to settings. The default keyboard also sucks, kind of a ripoff of the Samsung keyboard except it's slow and laggy and half assed ie like how you can't adjust landscape height, and its default is way too low.

Other things that drive me nuts, where is the user switcher and battery shortcut? Why don't my quick toggles show what Bluetooth device or WiFi networks I'm connected too? Why doesn't my back button point down when the keyboard is up and why are there no dynamic keys ie menu and keyboard selector? Why do the quick toggles automatically show when I swiped down once from the notification bar? Why do notifications fill the whole screen in landscape? Why do I need an annoying "chat head" when I'm on call when I can just swipe down the notification bar and go back to a call? Why does the clock shrink on the lockscreen when I have any notifications including persistent ones and why do I have to tap then swipe instead of double tapping to select a notification? Why can't I set a live wallpaper on the lockscreen?

Overall I'm open up custom ui's but LGs UX just feels half assed and an afterthought. My thought is if you can't do it better than AOSP than might as well leave it alone
[G4 General] elcom:
Hit the nail straight on the head.. Couldn't agree more.
[G4 General] feels1:
This is a perfect phone for 2015 in both hardware and software, coming from Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Unlike Note 1, 2, 3, 4, LG doesn't has slow dying syndrome eMMC, which hard brick the phone in 2 yr.

What I would like to see in future G5 will be:

Keeps:

MicroSD slot - Another main reason I drop Samsung

5.5" - 5.7" screen size

Rear buttons

Camera - Don't mind to keep the resolution, but improve the img stabilization, noise and low light

Infrared remote control - Unique feature that I love in my old phones, and surprise to see in G4 again

Removable battery

Leather

Adds:

Dual SIM slots

Camera - image stabilization, noise and low light

Loud speaker - louder

Octa-core

Includes 20/12/9/5V QuickCharge 2.0 Category B charger, which charge quicker than 12V

Choice of higher capacity battery. I don't mind to be thicker & heavier if it can last 3 days

Physical home button. I don't like soft buttons, although it is cool

Extra hard button at side/rear/bottom/top to call up favorite app. Like BlackBerry Passport/Leap

Support Google Tasks in out-of-box app

USB 3.0

NFC finger ring that can unlock the phone - blog.nfcring.com, although with various ring size, it could introduce new fashion trend like phone cover

Optional

FM radio tuner - I used it a lot when taking public transport and want to know traffic condition

Fingerprint reader

Contact-less door access card/proximity card - Many corporate office still using proximity card, and not/slow adopting NFC technology

Thinner bezel - The bottom LG logo is a waste of space, and better to make good use of it, like speaker phone

Improve heat dissipation - If the back get 2 C degree higher under heavy use, I will really complain it is uncomfortable to hold/keep in pocket

Acting as bluetooth speaker receiver so it can play music sending from desktop/laptop/tablet/camera/TV

Upgrade stock LG blotware to 64-bit app

More RAM

Don't care:

Bloatware - every one has their own custom app, and the phone's performance is not affected at all. Moreover, they can be hidden, or move into folder

Water resistant

Unbreakable glass

Metal bezel - it is better to invest the weight in battery
[G4 General] Negroid:
Fingerprint scanning power button

Reslimmed bezels

Front Facing Speakers

Metal (rather than chrome plastic) rim

USB C/3.0

Retain SD card

More aesthetic/Material UI
[G4 General] Chyeo1979:
For me:

Fingerprint scanner

5.8" screen

Metal rim

More durable leather back

Faster camera launch with double button press (like S6/Note 5)

Bigger battery
[G4 General] veddandekar:
You can already double press the volume down button to quickly launch the camera
[G4 General] Boomer120y:
Larger battery. I mean really, these things are so small and lightweight, just give us another 1000 mAh and be the first smart phone to reliably give over 2 days of use!

Make it water resistant. Hey with this things camera, how about a little underwater work? :)

Less bloat, frustrates me all the time, the G4 doesn't feel as bad as the G3 in this regard but I like things to be as efficient as possible. straight up lollipop doesn't look that bad LG :p

I love the G4 as it stands, manual shutter control on a smartphone? since when :D I was never really into camera's on phones at first, but after I bought the HTC Sensation all those years ago and found myself able to take really bright vibrant close up pictures, I've become a bit of a shutter bug and so each phone has to have a good camera. The G3's was awesome as well
[G4 General] Cor-master:
So in a nutshell, what they do right

*Design, love all the extra curves, makes usability and pocketability much easier

*Rear facing buttons, at first was unsure but after I got used to it I loved it and now don't wanna use any other layout

*double tap to wake, really handy for when those rear buttons are too inconvenient to tap

*Awesome cameras on both sides, great camera app

*removable battery and expandable storages, 2 things that are dying and don't want LG to sell out

*screen, it's pretty much perfect.

What I'd like to see added/revised

*finger print scanner

*water resistance, spash proof at least

*Metal bezel as the glossy plastic scuffs and takes dents around the screen. Don't want an all metal and glass taped and glued together pos just a metal frame around the screen, or even a flat or matte finished polycarbonate

*Gorilla Glass 4

*Front Facing stereo speakers

*overhauled and refined software experience. As said in my previous post, LGs software experience isn't great, in fact might be the worst Android skin currently available. I think for LG it would be best to stay over and go with a mostly stock UI like Motorola, and add the useful stuff back in it. I don't think it's ugly but a lot of stuff is just different to be different and a lot of thing's still seem stuck in KitKat era
[G4 General] Chyeo1979:
Oh, I mean I want it to be as fast as S6. Currently it's like a tortoise compared to S6.
[G4 General] motoridersd:
THIS

Motorola does a great job at enhancing stock Android without crippling it. LG should do the same. Keep the fantastic camera app and knock on, knock code, etc. Strip everything else or make the useful features (like multi window) work without skinning the device.

Keeping it close to stock and putting apps on the app store make for FAST Android updates.
[G4 General] barondebxl:
For the G5 I think LG should go back to the G3 design and improve it a bit. With the G4 they went backwards in terms of design IMO.

They should absolutely update their awful UI, that shyt looks like touchwiz 2011 and does lag still here and there. I mean look at the settings menu...looks like crap. The UI Need new icons or a theme store that Is as rich as the one found in thes S6 or the M9.

They should make sure the G5 does not ship with unresponsive touchscreen issues. That is a big problem IMO.

They should keep the micro SD card and removable back as well as keep on improving the camera and the display (not 4k just making it better like brightness for example) .

Add a fingerprint sensor in the home button , obviously have a better SoC, 4GB of ram but 3 is still fine, 2K display, at least 3000mah battery, and new color backs. They did a great job introducing the leather options and different colors with this G4.
[Desire 816 General] ositandroid:
Anyone that has done this should please elaborate as xposed installation on lollipop is quite tricky. Any help?
[Desire 816 General] Roberto Nigel:
first boot into ur recovery .. do a cache/dalvik wipe then flash the zip file named "xposed-sdk21-arm" after its done its ganna restart .. install the apk file and you'r done

plz take a nandroid backup first, and make sure you have Busybox installed.
[Desire 816 General] ositandroid:
You're too kind! Thanks A lot!

Pls what are the modules u use currently?

Do u get random reboots?

The memory leak issues in 5.0 lollipop are recently very noticeable and I need the sdfix module.these are the main reasons I need xposed.
