What about something like this? My girlfriend use something similar when she went hiking around a river with some small waterfalls with some friends. She said it was great and kept out all the moisture. She was even able to take pictures with it because the bag allowed the touch screen to work.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] ryan stewart:
I may pull the trigger and hope that the fingerprint scanner works through it (it does through a ziplock) because our buttons being on the side makes it really hard to wake the phone.

So as you all Guys know that falcon has a really Good development and has plenty of ROMs. Reply Down Below and lets see who's using which ROM ;) :) Tell the battery and stability of the ROM (only if you want to :p ) so that it could help others decide which ROM to flash :p. Benchmarks screenshots are appreciated :good: :highfive:

Stock optimized 5.1 by lost101. Main reason battery life is around 50% after around 3 days.

If someone has a Rom that might be as good I'd be more than willing to try it.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyclonesrule91:
I just flashed the stock image upgrading my Nexus to 6.0 MRA58K and for the most part love it but I have one issue that is driving me nuts and google isn't helping me.

I use GoSMS as my texting app. If the phone is awake, I get the pop up and ringtone notification when I get a text, but when the phone is asleep and I receive a text, the screen will wake up briefly showing the message but not ringtone. I have gone in to apps and set GoSMS as priority and gone through all sorts of settings to try and get it figured out with no success. Meanwhile if I get an email or even a tapatalk notification when the phone is sleeping, I will get the screen waking up and the notification ringtone just fine. I have a custom ringtone for GOSMS only so don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Anybody else run into this or know what could fix the issue?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelooga:
maybe give Go notification access if you havent already? just a random thought
[LG G Flex 2] Michalko5896:
Hi! I'm interested in G Flex 2 because of Snapdragon 810 chipset and great screen. How is your experience so far? I would be greatful if you answer me few questions:

1) I really hate lag - even a slight lag can destroy my experience. I had to sell my LG G2 because of the lag. G Flex 2 was pretty laggy phone with 5.0. Did LG improve performance with 5.1.1 update?

2) How is the screen? Any issues?

3) Is overheating real? (I dont care about hot back cover, but I dont want to have my experience ruined because of extremely laggy throttling phone

4) How good is battery life? I don't need 2 days, just 3-4 hours of on screen time. Is that possible without issues?

5) Any other known issues with the phone?

EDIT: Btw guys, I wrote to LG and got official answer: LG G Flex 2 will recieve 6.0 right after G4.

Thank you very much! :)

45 minutes of screen, 12% battery drain....

4-5 hs of screen with no gamed is really possible. With no problem at all.View attachment 3501017View attachment 3501018

The really problem is sync apps, like any other phone...

Heat is no problem for me at all, no intensive gamer, but can play rr3 or fifa 16 with no lag at all with 5.1.1

[LG G Flex 2] Michalko5896:
Thank you! I will give it a go.
[LG G Flex 2] Michalko5896:
And what about build quality?
[LG G Flex 2] Gizmo648:
I have to say that the experience was not that great at first. The bloatware slowed down the device a lot for me. But since I rooted and deleted that stuff, everything runs great. No lags, no overheating(I'm not playing games), great batterylife.

The only problem is that the screen is grainy when displaying some colors(eg. Grey and Orange)

So I would say, if you're giving it a go you should most likely root it.
[LG G Flex 2] Ace42:
5-6hrs is possible (sot). Battery is worse than my G2 (nowhere near Moto E either), but better than my Zenfone 2 at least. I did have to tweak the device like crazy to get it to behave like this.
[LG G Flex 2] Michalko5896:
Performance with 5.1.1 is now fine, right?

Grainy screen, hmm.. Now I'm little bit worried.
[LG G Flex 2] Gizmo648:
Yeah, it's fine
[LG G Flex 2] SayWhat10:
On 5.1.1 rooted. I still have lag. Battery is horrible, and it gets hot.

What apps are y'all debloating? Don't know how y'all can get 5 hours screen time. My phone is 3 weeks old
[LG G Flex 2] Ace42:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=63148509

LG MLT is the main one you'll want to disable. It can be disabled from the hidden menu or with titanium backup. There's also carrierIQ, but that can be turned off from 3c toolbox or "myAndroidtools". There's a list of other things, all in all very time consuming.
[LG G Flex 2] Michalko5896:
wtf? I'm really confused now.. Is it really that bad?
[LG G Flex 2] SayWhat10:
EVerybody's mileage will differ, but for me its bad. I really want to get a new phone (different one),but not trying to spend the money.

I get about 2hours of screen on time, and I can post pictures of my high temperatures, gets hot quick. I can pretty much never turn the screen on full brightness because there's some limiter that will say "max is 70% because of the temperature". This is the ONLY phone in my life of smartphones that i cant turn the screen fully brights, its horrid

I just froze a lot of the apps from the above posters comment, i'll see how it does

I had lag on my galaxy tab S, but i put CM12.1 on there and it flies. Of course the bootloader is locked here so we're stuck for now
[LG G Flex 2] Ace42:
Multiple LG models prevent max brightness due to temperature, it's just to protect the device from generating more heat until it cools down a bit.

Your high temps (guessing 44-60°C) are caused by the chip being stressed by some app or apps you have installed. Certain apps such as YouTube 720p60/1080p60), games, etc. will make it warm regardless.
[LG G Flex 2] krispijn_s:
Just to add my $0.02: I think this is one of the best kept secrets in smartphoneland. I'm really enjoying this phone: I'm not experiencing lag, overheating (or heating in general actually) and battery life is very decent, but it did take some work getting it where I wanted it.

The update v15a+ definitely helps running the phone in a normal way, but I've taken some additional steps to enhance longevity.

1) Root (to enable additional steps)

2) Freeze/ remove bloaty apps (such as LG MLT)

3) Disable big cores 2 and 3: this effectively turns the SD810 into a SD808 with an Adreno 430. For me, I don't notice any drop in performance or smoothness, but it does help A LOT with battery life and temperature.

Now I get about 4 hours of SOT on average, which is pretty good :) For me this means about 2 days of typical usage (not a heavy user in that sense).

As for the screen: it is grainy, but that is something I've gotten used to. I came from an Xperia Z1 and that screen, though not grainy, was actually worse in daily use (viewing angles, blacks etc). The one thing I dislike about the G Flex 2 screen is the high minimum brightness setting. This is incidentally is my only big gripe with the phone.

So all in all: for €300,- (and a little elbow grease) this is a really nice phone.
[LG G Flex 2] Michalko5896:
Thank you! Xperia Z1 has awful screen so thats no big surprise. And what about keyboard issues? My keyboard was not opening after 5.0 update on G2 and I saw same thing on 5.0 for G Flex 2. Is that fixed in 5.1.1?
[LG G Flex 2] krispijn_s:
I guess they fixed it?

I didn't run the phone with 5.0 for long; 20 minutes to be exact, only to update it to 5.1.1. With 5.1.1 I have not experienced any keyboard problems (not with the LG keyboard and not with Swiftkey either).
[LG G Flex 2] Michalko5896:
okay, thank you all. I'm really looking forward. I was huge fan of LG UI, loved KitKat on G2. This is surely my best buy - fricking Snapdragon 810 for 300€. :D
[LG G Flex 2] SayWhat10:
Can you explain exactly how to do this? I tried something like this before but on reboot all cores were running
[LG G Flex 2] hack14u:
I must be the lucky one for a change. This phone is amazing. I don't get any lag, screen looks good, and the only time it gets warm is when streaming video to the CC for a couple of hours at a time. It's never gotten hot enough to throttle or anything like that. I love this phone, so much so that my M8 is collecting dust, waiting for MM.
[LG G Flex 2] krispijn_s:
I use the Kernel Adiutor (not a typo) app to do that.

A couple of remarks:

You need root; also make sure you are not running any other apps that set cpu related stuff.

Notice I'm linking to the app on F-Droid. For some reason, the Google Play version didn't work for me. Really odd.

Go to CPU control using the menu. You'll see a "Apply at boot" switch: make sure that is enabled.

On the same tab, scroll down and uncheck the big cores you want disabled. For me disabling core 2 and 3 works best as cores 1 and 4 seem the get re-enabled by the OS at certain times. The LITTLE cores, you can leave enabled.

Disable energy saving mode in the regular settings menu (it's under general/battery): it will re-enable all the big cores when it is triggered.

....?

Profit

[LG G Flex 2] Kidsnd274:
Really hated this phone when it first came out. Now I'm running 5.1.1 (v15c) and rooted with disabled apps and cores. Performance has never been better. Really liking this phone. Only thing I don't like is my model H959. It only has 2GB of RAM so when I open apps like Chrome which sucks a lot of RAM, it starts to lag real hard. Screen is grainy, but some apps look like paper because of that, so I guess it's fine.

Oh and I can't wait for what marshmallow is gonna bring. Good job on LG for still caring for us Flex users and updating the software.
[LG G Flex 2] rogconnect:
[MENTION=5256280]Kidsnd274[/MENTION]

Install NoChromo then uninstall Chrome. This run fast and smooth. I didn't disable any core but upped min.core frquency to Big 644 and Little 430. Also installed Root Booster with Performance profile. No over heating issues. Love this phone.

[LG G Flex 2] Wiggz:
Just wanted to add my view. I rooted and installed Kernel Auditor and tried to disable cores. It seems that the occasionally turn back on again... Intermittently.. Any ideas??
[LG G Flex 2] Kidsnd274:
I think only cores 4 and 7 turn back on automatically (The first and fourth of the Big cores). I would disable the 2nd and 3rd ones only.

Those 2 cores turn back on because when your phone heats up, they get disabled, afterwards it will get enabled again when your phone cools down.
[LG G Flex 2] clockworkengine:
I love my gflex2 but bewarethat the screen is prone to image burn.
[LG G Flex 2] Wiggz:
Ok so I've tried big cores 2 and 3 as well as 3 and 4 and they all turn back on when the phone cools back down after intensive use.. Ideas??
[LG G Flex 2] SayWhat10:
Same here, cores get re-enabled after reboots
[LG G Flex 2] Wiggz:
This seems to be because the stock LG G Flex 2 kernel doesn't allow hotplug configuration. However, there must be something we can do?

I've used a different thermal configuration found on these forums which seems to help a bit. I might also limit the clock speed on the cores and keep them all enabled. In theory this should also deal with the heat, but I'm not sure if the clock will boost as and when needed and therefore reset just like the cores do.

Anyone?
[LG G Flex 2] SayWhat10:
I'll try again but I think even the clock speeds reset as well

Can you elaborate on point5??

Can't see those options in battery honestly!!

F-Droid Kernel Auditor

Hello mates,

i just registred to this forum because i found my solution for the kernel auditor turning cores back in an older post.

Had the problem that the cores disabled at the boot, but during usage they went back online.

This problem is now gone and the cores stay disabled, thanks to the version of the kernel auditor from F-Droid.

Edit: Like in the post from krispijn_s - Don´t use the one from the playstore but try the one from F-Droid

Just visit :

Not to be that guy but I'll chime in on my experience. I got the phone first day it was released no issuses until day 4 the screen wouldn't cut on and all would show is a rainbow effect on status bar. Took it in to sprint they said it was defective and gave me a replacement. Second device lasted a day that next morning after getting the device i put the phone in my pocket fully charged up. Sat at my desk at work 2 hours later i felt a burning sensation on my leg. Pulled the phone out it's at 50 percent even though i didn't use it and hot to the point if the phone was on my skin i would of got burnt. Took it back to sprint they said pick another device because there having alot of returns on that device for similiar issuses. I ended up getting a note 4. I liked the flex 2 alot if they fixed the issues i had. I would still get the g4 because it's just a better phone.

Just finished the 5.1.1 update - no issues & phone's responsiveness is great now.

For once, add me to the list of people whose update went off without a hitch & promised enhancements actually are there.

There was a bit of sluggishness after the first reboot after install, but I'm thinking that was due to some kind of initial indexing going on in the background.

Aside from that, all apps, including Android Pay are working as before and no lag in the Recent Apps button. Text scrolling is noticibly smoother, especially when scrolling, for example, the list of installed apps in App Manager.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] stoobie-doo:
Mine failed too at 1%, on reboot it said the update was interrupted. Same thing happened in the initial update to Lollipop. Going to go out on a limb and guess this is related to my phone being encrypted. Wiping the phone was the only way I could get that update to take. (The little interim ones did work for me). Sure makes me wise I could backup my phone with Titanium Backup like I used to.

Instead of buying package disabler,couldn't you just use the free debloater software and disable that way?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Not sure if you're asking me or someone else. Please quote who you are responding to ;)

Technically, yes, you can use the debloater app. I've used it before, but PD (Package Disabler) just seems to work better for me. And you don't need a computer with PD.

Basically, the results after using PD just seem more noticeable. This could just be a placebo though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] bugity:
The package disabler is good for when you want to re-enable a feature you have previously disabled but don't have a computer handy. Also I have had 5.1.1 since it was released (dirty upgrade) but I did a factory reset yesterday and everything has been much faster and smoother. Battery life has improved and features like smart lock actually work properly now. I guess my phone just was not happy with having an upgrade without doing a factory reset after.

went to recovery mode and wiped cache (hold volume up +home button while note 4 is powered off),

then made sure vpn was off,

made sure screen never turned off,

watched some youtube videos during download,

downloaded full update,

pressed restart before the 5 second auto restart window closed,

it said installing, then said installation failed, and rebooted.

attempt 2 was a failure but compare what you did to what I did and build off it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Do you have an N910a, or are you using some other model on the ATT network?

As I said earlier, I'm in Denton, so we are in the same region. If I got the update, you should've too (one would think).

And are you checking for the update manually, or are you waiting for a notification?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Lewzephyr:
Yes have a N910A from ATT.

Checking manually, I even forwarded the date for phone to check multiple times in case something just missed.

Presently checked again today (not having to forward the date) and still no update.

Must be some type of selection for areas they put in place.

Thanks for your response though.
