[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trekkk:
Do not swap your S6 edge + for a 6P. I sold my 6p lost money on it and got the S6 edge + it's a better day to day device. If you like to tinker with your device and absolutely need stock android change it. If not stay with the S6 edge + believe me.

I wanted to love the 6P but for day to day use the edge + is more practical. As much as I hate TouchWiz still adds little tweaks here and there that makes my work day easier
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Exactly. I had a note prior to own the 6P. Used the 6P for about a week and went right back to the note. Definitely prefer the features of the note as well as the display and form factor.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarlosAbia:
I changed my note 5 for my 6P, and its been the best decision I've made. Everything is better on the 6P IMO, the note's 4gb of ram feels like 512mb, this nexus is easily twice as fast as Samsung's.. I guess its up to what anyone likes, to me, 6P kills note 5
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gekkehenkie11:
I think the truth is that both are great phones and both easily beat the previous generation, the Note 4. Which one you prefer just really depends on what you look for and prefer in a phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @home:
Spot on.

I'm exactly the same.

The 6p is a great phone but the Note 5 just feels 'so right'.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
i would not change my gold s6 edge+ for anything else..i thought i was gonna run out of space but after transferring all my files/songs/videos i have 30.14gb left..and i was planning on getting the 128gb 6p..my phone doesnt stutter like i thought it would
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlin:
Coming from an iPhone 6s+, I've been using a Nexus 6p for about a month now but I've been considering trying out the Note 5 as well. I see the relative pro's of each device as follows:

Nexus 6P:

- Always the latest software updates

- Security

- Pure Android, no bloat

- Ability to root (I'm on Verizon)

- Better RAM/Memory optimization

Note 5:

- Better camera and camera software, including ability to take a pic while shooting video

- Native one handed mode (achievable with the 6p using root but the baked in TW version is better)

- Physical dimensions

- Stylus

On a related note, I think Samsung should make the next Nexus and show Google a thing or two about camera software.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrienned:
I would stick to the Nexus. I had a Note for many years and the bloatware is unbelievable. I had to root, freeze, remove, greenify and try every trick in the book before I could get decent battery life. I also like the new android and hate how in 2015 Samsung phones still look so ugly. The touchwiz looks exactly like the note 1! Android has improved its interface and I cannot believe Samsung takes an amazing phone and puts a ridiculous skin on it. I removed all of that as well but it all comes down to how you want your phone to look. The only thing with a Samsung is if there's a problem you can return it and get a new one fairly quickly. I have a store as well as a AT&T replacement store and that's a major plus. No waiting forever to be sent a replacement, even though I hear Google will sometimes overnight you a phone.

I love my Nexus. The screen is beautiful and the sound is nice and crisp. I haven't had any issues with my phone and am looking forward to timely updates. The Nexus has nothing on the new Samsung camera though. Good luck deciding!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff5093:
Still 100% glad to sell my Note5 for a 6P. I do agree that the camera was better on the Note5, especially in dull scenes like overcast days. On bright days the 6P takes excellent photos.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarlosAbia:
I've tested camera on both phones side by side, light and low light, front and back camera, and I think the 6P is way better. Pictures in hdr+ are so accurate, no over sharpening like the note, low light is way better, keeps real colors, note makes it red, and secondary camera on 6P looks unbelievable, the one on the note is horrible. Video on the note is better though, because of OIS
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user68734:
Considering moving from Note 5 to Nexus 6P

I currently have a Verizon Note 5 and I am considering selling it and getting a Nexus 6P.

Reasons:

1) Want the ability to root and install Roms and Xposed

2) Tired of the Touchwiz popups whenever I raise the volume on my Note 5, or connect to Bluetooth.

3) The memory management on Note 5

4) Marshmallow update still not here

I will miss the S-Pen ... oh well.

My biggest concern is the Nexus 6P only having 3 GB of RAM vs the Note 5 having 4 GB of RAM.

Do those owning the 6P find 3 GB enough? How is the performance of the 6P compared to the Note 5?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarlosAbia:
RAM management on 6P is way better, coming from a Note5. You can see several comparisons on YouTube
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gman88667733:
The performance of the 6P in day to day activities is miles better. I have used both and the 6P is the most fluid, fast and smooth Android phone I have ever used. It does live up to the hype!!! Battery life is inconsistent though, so make sure you are aware of that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @home:
I'm not so sure about that, I have both that note 5 & the 6p & I use the note 5 far more. The n6 is good but just lacks the certain thing. Sorry but the note 5 has it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B_I_N_G_E:
I have the Note 5 and 6p. After buying the 6p I can't bring myself to pick up the Note. The 6p is just so buttery smooth. I just prefer that over bells and whistles. Note 5 is nice though for other stuff. My buddy is enjoying a little Gear vr time as I type this. That is where the Note 5 stays. In the head set.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost_odeassy1:
I feel note 5 is almost perfect

If I can get keyboard typing experience similar to Apple

I.e lag free smooth and natural feel typing

Any tips?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leo9891:
I love the Google Keyboard. If thats not your style, try SwiftKey, you can install themes and I think there is one that looks like the iPhone keyboard. If that doesn't fit you and you don't need the swype/swipe/slide feature on your keyboard, check out Fleksy. It takes a little to get used to but it is pretty good. Don't enable a lot of plugins though for Fleksy, it will then lag just a little, not much.

Is there anyway to enable 1700 AWS /LTE on the 910C using QPST?

I know a few phones have benefited from a QPST modification in the past.

I'm interested in the Exynos Note 4 and would like to use with tmobile however I wonder if there's a way to enable all of the tmobile bands to work to ensure 100% network phone & data coverage compatibility.

It seems the only issue tmobile has is the missing 1700 band for 3G aws, 4G aws & LTE.

Is there a way to enable the 1700 band on the 910C using QPST?

According to Tmobile....

I have the same situation. Have you fix it for your 910C? What is QPST and what should I do? Thanks in advance.
[G4 Themes and Apps] wedge666:
If you use an alternative launcher you lose the ability to double tap to sleep.

Using Nova Launcher Prime (and maybe other launchers) and a screen off app will give back that ability, but then you loose smart unlock.

The only way, with Nova, to turn the screen off and keep smart unlock is to double tap the notification bar or press the power button.

I've made a small app that simulates the later, it just "presses" the power button.

Using Nova's double tap gesture to run this app will give you back the double tap to sleep ability without losing smart unlock.

Unfortunately, you'll need a rooted phone for this to work. Sorry.

If you find this useful for you, just download and install the attached apk.
[G4 Themes and Apps] bartveld:
Nice, thank you!
[G4 Themes and Apps] waylo:
Very nice, been looking for this forever. Nothing on the app store can do this!
[G4 Themes and Apps] kaiowas82:
i use nova prime, i double tap the screen to switch it off using the greenify shortcut and my smart unlock works as always....
[G4 Themes and Apps] bartveld:
This doesn't seem to work anymore in MM. Shame...
[G4 Themes and Apps] HorstiG:
There are double tap with GravityBox or More Shortcuts (Play Store) without root.

Nova can anyway.

View attachment 3714013

P.S. [MENTION=1574413]wedge666[/MENTION]

I tested your app, it is very good.

Needs no authority except root.

But why is it so big? I have found in the App over 900 0Byte files.

View attachment 3714021
[G4 Themes and Apps] waylo:
That's not the same thing at all. In fact, that's the reason this app was so great. This app mimicked the press of the power button alone. It didn't activate locking if just tapping the your power button wasn't set to lock.

There are many many apps that turn off the screen and lock. This one allowed you to not lock.

Maybe the gravity box option was like this, but definitely not the nova option.
[G4 Themes and Apps] HorstiG:
And what do the many 0Byte files in the app?
[G4 Themes and Apps] raynan:
I've been using LauncherX Prime and Tasker to get this done on all my phones :p It's a cool idea to simplify it, though.
[G4 Themes and Apps] Spoookie:
Also sported in Action Luncher 3 if you enter settings..

You can add app screen off and tap on it anytime to turn off phone

I'm downloading your 10G rooted image. I have 10E on my Bell G4. What would be the procedure to flash your image on my phone?
[G4 General] spartan268:
Sweet. Now we can finally get a proper thread going with all our resources on the first page. This will make the process so much quicker for the new comers:)
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Please do not flash the 10G rooted system image over you 10E G4! It states in the highlighted red text not to do so. I appologize if that was unclear. I am trying to compile all of the nessessary information into the first post and as you can imagine, it is a lot of work. I am actively working with my G4 but have only started doing so since the 10G update so I do not have any files other than the image I had rooted myself.

The DIY root injection guide found in my first post and in this quote is exactly how I injected root myself into my own system image. I've also wrote up a guide on how to install a linux virtual machine so you can do it yourself if you do not have linux machine.

Alternatively, if you can upload your 10E system image, I will gladly download it and inject root myself and have it uploaded into the main post.

That is the goal! If you have anything to contribute, please do as this will take a community effort.

Thanks guys!
[G4 General] defender007:
Thanks for the response. So how can I flash a 10G file and root at the same time? Or should I just root what I have and hope Bell wakes up and releases the update?
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
You do not flash a rooted image unless it matches the software version of your device. You need to find a rooted 10E image or inject root into your own ripped system image from your device. I currently do not have a 10E system image. If you supply me with your 10E system image, I can inject root into it for you if you cannot do it yourself. The steps to root your phone yourself are found here in this guide.

I am trying to find one right now.
[G4 General] eboy_gb:
Could he not flash the Telus 10G KDZ on his phone and then flash the 10G rooted system image you posted on his phone? I thought we found out that you could any carrier's KDZ on the Canadian LG G4s? (he would just have to manually input his APN afterwards)
[G4 General] GibMcFragger:
You can flash any Canadian H812 KDZ or system image on ANY Canadian H812, regardless of carrier.

It is recommended to flash the full KDZ first though if the version is different that what you are already running, to prevent issues.

[G4 General] defender007:
I already have the full KDZ file. So all i do is flash that then flash the rooted image, correct?
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Yes sir. Always triple check all of your files match the device also.
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
Love that this was decided on. The orphaned thread was a minefield for the new folks here.

In the OP, perhaps give an example of what kdz you are using and what rooted image is compatible...good for you for putting the warning in red, but I would emphasize again. Here is how I would make the post look:

------------

Rooted System Images:

NEVER MISMATCH SOFTWARE VERSIONS AS IT COULD RESULT IN A BRICKED DEVICE. Match your phone's software version with the corresponding image **ie. A Telus H81210H stock image needs to be fully installed BEFORE flashing the Telus H81210H rooted image. Also note that a Telus KDZ is compatible with a Bell, Rogers, etc. device. Just make sure that if you use a Telus KDZ, you flash the Telus rooted image**

LG G4 - $635 after taxes

Note 4 - $280 after taxes

(prices are in Canadian)

I am using a G4 right now and have an opportunity to get a Note 4 through my work for a very low price.

The Note 4 is either a customer return (open box) or a refurbished phone. Has no manufacturer warranty.

I can still return the G4 to the original place of purchase.

Would it be worth it to get the Note 4 that's half the price? I'm thinking that the only thing I would be really losing is the better camera on the G4.
[G4 General] goofball2k:
Do you get to see the Note 4 before you have to commit? The only thing that makes me a bit queasy is the no warranty. If it breaks in a week, you are potentially not looking at any savings.

I personally cannot stand touchwiz. That's just a minor thing, I suppose.

Spec's wise, it's really as you say, a tossup. The Note4 is a very good smartphone.

I couldn't find one either. I just loaded the kdz for Telus 10G, then the rooted Telus 10G. Did that for a few days, then went to the Rogers 10h kdz and rooted since I am on Rogers.
[G4 General] 850T5m:
Anyone have a laggy camera and laggy UI in general?

If I factory reset, do I lose root? Thinking the lag might have something to do with flashing Telus, then Rogers on my G4

Hey guys.. New to the LG G4 forums. I just won a Fido contest for an LG G4 and figured I better do some reading up on it here.. Lots of confusion over the different models and firmwares from a quick glance. Can anyone point me to some important useful threads / FAQs?
[G4 General] Usraek:
This is the thread you need. All Canadian models are H812, and the firmwares are pretty much interchangeable unless you're on Rogers and you lose one feature.

If you want to root, use the instructions in first post and just use Rogers image as I believe it's the latest.

If you have any specific questions feel free to ask. :)
[G4 General] nirvanafc:
I'm interested in getting a G4. Does anyone know if any unlocked LGH812 will work with Rogers and Bell's LTE? Would I need to flash the specific carrier firmware? Thanks in advance.
[G4 General] HannibalMyers:
Hi guys! I'm hoping to unroot and do a flash firmware clean reset yet I'm running into trouble. The IMEI website provided told me and had me download the LG G4 H8121H firmware yet according to my phones info I'm running the H8121-C version. It's also telling me I'm a Rogers phone yet I'm with MTS. I don't want to brick my phone so I'm wondering if the H would work fine with mine or should I wait for a C version? Any help is greatly appreciated. :cowboy:
[G4 General] tnap1979:
just got my G4 last night around 9pm,

got it rooted, but i was originally on 10H Rogers

i used the wind 10b rooted image flashed it over, it worked just fine but gave ALOT of FC's

a simple factory reset solved all problems, now the G4 is rooted with 10b wind FW and Xposed
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
H is a more updated version than C. So as long as you flash stock H and then a rooted H kdz you will be fine. Also from what I have been reading, with all of the Canadian Variants(H812) any Canadian carrier firmwares can be flashed on our devices.
[G4 General] karendar:
MTS is a subsidiary of Rogers, so it's normal you're getting a Rogers ROM... As for C versus H, it was explained in the previous post. :)
[G4 General] GenghisKhan67:
Anyone try flashing over a Videotron H812? Thoughts?
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Your kidding right????? Mts is a own company. Nothing to do with rogers . they just happen to share network where rogers sucked before.

Same with phones. Any Canadian lg g4 812 rom will work with almost any lg g4 in canada.
[G4 General] karendar:
The MTS/Rogers ROM are identical and are supplied as is. I assumed they were a subsidiary, considering they use the same ROM... My mistake.

Yes, the H812 phones all support any variant, but variant software are NOT all identical. Modem structure is different, some system files are different as well, some lower level partitions are as well, versioning, etc... Thus, flashing a Rogers KDZ vs a Telus KDZ, very different.
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
So the Rogers kdz won't work with a phone running on Wind connection ryt.?
[G4 General] j_r17ca:
Yes it will work. Im currently using it right now. Wind is using h812 as well as any canadian g4
[G4 General] deadgods:
So flashing a Telus one on a bell will work too right?
[G4 General] Devhux:
Yup!

The main difference is the Rogers firmware has support for Voice-over-LTE (which only works on the Rogers network). So if you are on Rogers and use VoLTE, make sure to use a Rogers firmware.

[G4 General] Jok3r10:
Uhm u can recover pictures if you are rooted?

For data you need to enter the APN for videotron.

There you have to enter the APN and you should be good to go.
[G4 General] Negan:
Hey guys, I've been outta the loop for a while and had actually sold my G4 a few months back due to my lack of patience for LG to release bootloader unlock as they promised. Anyway I won a G4 today! So is it safe to assume still no bootloader unlock for us, no roms or recovery?
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
Yup. Still no bootloader unlock, although there has been progress, it's apparently unlockable but it just hasn't been released yet.

Marshmallow update on rooted LG G4

Will Marshmallow OTA update works normal after LG G4 rooted?
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
No, if you are rooted you wont be able to update the normal OTA way. You will have to flash the Marshmallow update separately.

Does anyone have any issues with V4A and Poweramp. I am on the Rogers KDZ and i can't get V4A to work with PowerAmp. It works with the stock app though.

So u r saying everytime u have the install the driver again and reboot..?
[G4 General] spartan268:
If you have any EQ enabled in PowerAmp; disable them.

Otherwise you can try out V4A compatibility mode. From there if it doesn't work... idk. I couldn't get SoundCloud to play nice with V4A.
