I'm curious how you did this, were you buying on eBay slightly used or what? If you were buying new I feel like you'd be spending a pretty penny each time you switched. Also all the phone setting up, oy vey! I guess that's the exciting time for phone ownership, the first few weeks, but its also the biggest headache . not sure I could do that.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] trotirider:
Off topic about his money.

I agree with you, I had a s5 and not interrested about s7 (it's close to iphone now) and nothing really new.

Lg have balls to make something new this year.

I don't understand why it is underappreciated.

Modules are just a +, wide angle is pretty fun and removable battery is a need.

I saw benchmarks where g5 is better, like read speed memory and in the comments nothing about the g5, just like it doesn't exist.. all are speaking about s7, htc 10, iphone etc..

I'm not saying this is the best phone, but it doesn't deserve these bad comments.

Anyway I don't care, this is my first lg and I don't regret this choice.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] gfreek:
The unsung hero!

Couldn't agree more with OP, Yes the G5 is not perfect and in fact it was my second choice, I had initially pre-ordered HTC 10 but cancelled when it was delayed with shipment and went with G5 instead and I'm glad I did I have no regrets!:good:

Granted the HTC 10 hardware build quality and software is superior to G5's but I think internally this is a better phone. That dual lens is far from a gimmick it super useful and fun when taking pictures.

Pros:

- Dual Lens Wide and Normal

- Phenomenal standby time considering 2800mah battery ( Its the best I have seen from all the android phones I have ever owned!)

- Ergonomically feels better in the hand then the HTC 10

- No Lag blisteringly fast, never get too hot.

- Modular design

- Battery life: Light to Medium usage can get 20hrs, Heavy usage can get 15hrs that is amazing!

Cons:

- Although G5 is unibody metal, the finish is not at the level of HTC,Samsung or apple. (Its a case of LG taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back)

- Low capacity battery

- LG UI/skin not at the same level as HTC sense or Touchwiz (Doesn't bother me as I use Nova launcher)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ~~Tito~~:
My main gripes with the phone are inital launch bugs such as the auto brightness issue, the FFC bug, and the shorter battety life. Build quality isn't the greatest but its the finish they used that makes it feel worse. I have had 0 slow downs, lags, or any other SW issue that makes the phone unusable. Coming from the Note 5, this phone runs rock solid.

If LG pays attention to this device and regularly updates it. It just might become a 2 year phone for me.

Exactly. You just have to sell at the right time, and keep the phone in great condition. I've done the same over the years.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathan-H:
I agree 100% as well except i'd call the battery life exceptional. I am getting up to 6.5 hours SOT, over a days battery life and that's with wifi and or 4g on permanently, Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp, Instagram, and screen brightness never lower than 70%, mostly around 90%.

There's only one other phone which can beat it for battery life (S6 and S7 will die very fast at 75 to 100% screen brightness), and that is the HTC one m8. My GF has it, and always has screen at 100% brightness and gets 7 hours SOT regularly.

I would say the G5 is a keeper for me... until a new phone with dual lenses as they are really important to me now.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] PaoloMix09:
I am hearing so many bad comments about the HTC 10 on their forums about their phones lagging, saying that their nexus or M8's are way smoother. Also hearing that people who have the 10 that have messed with the G5 say the G5 is one of the fastest phones they have ever used. I'm not liking this, I might not get the 10 anymore and might just wait for the htc nexus or note 6.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] barondebxl:
The G5 is super well optimized, and it's funny cause usually they suck at that. But They started with the V10 and carried that on to the G5.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jinkerz9430:
I still dont have the lg g5 because im waiting for the root to be released first. However, for those haters, i would like to say that if you dont like your lg g5 you can send it to me lol i will pay for the shipping.

Now, im going to comment in favor of the lg g5 even if i dont have it yet. Every phone has its flaws. There is not perfect phone yet because every customer has something they would like to add or remove. I currently own an S5 and im desperate to buy the lg g5, and not the s7 nor htc 10. And for me, huge flaws are the following ones: lack of slot for external sd card, no removable battery, burn in screen, and back easily breakable.

I dare you to leave your s7 with screen on and full brightness with an image with very saturaded color, and status bar on for half a day. That would be your biggest mistake(burn in image) . Here i am with my s5 with amoled screen and burn in image. Now, personally, the s5 is way better than the s7 in many aspects. And the s7 to me was like 1 steps forward 4 steps back for samsung. I was a fan of samsung but not anymore.

People who talk bad about the appearance, seems to be obsessed with just that. And i was wondering, do people always carry their phones without the cover? I really doubt that most of them do, and despite covers offer protection, they also cover the (what so many people call premium design and feeling). So, why to argue about the appearance when you will put it inside a cover anyway? Grow up and get over it.

Also, there is the problem with people complaining about the modules. Understand people, that's just an additional feature, and whether you want to buy more modules or batteries or not is not an obligation, it is an option. Thats way better than what samsung has done previously. Which is limiting your options. When you buy an any item, do you buy an item which is very limited on its functionality? Or do you buy an item that do more than it has to offer... I dont know you but LG has just opened a new gate on the era of smartphones. And probably samsung will end up copying it, and all other phones as well. Sure i heard that google was developing a new modular smartphone but they have taken so long, and whoever release their product first thats the one who desetve the 1st place that honors the feature. And that resulted to be LG.

Just my opinion hahaha

Have to agree with the OP. I absolutely love my G5!

As you can see from my Signature pic I have been through many manufacturers (including Samsung) and ended up sticking with LG for a while now. Loved my G3 (the 2gb/32gb version of course), the G4 was a step up in all aspects (once I got LG to replace the early motherboard with a new one that doesn't get bootloop), and now the G5 is just WOW. So fluid and smooth and the wide angle lens is brilliant. I have just come back from holiday with my partner who has an iPhone 6 Plus - arguably the best iPhone so far. Usually they take all the 'good' shots outside (my G4 beat indoors easily), but this time it was ... ' oh can you take that as I can't fit it all in'... even on the NORMAL angle I fitted more in, and widescreen well... no need to even comment! The picture quality is really good, colours look natural, and even though my Cam Plus module didn't turn up before I went away (grrr) the phone was a godsend!

I have no issues with bluetooth, the GPS works fine (with NavFree, Navigator and Google Maps), all my social apps work great, and thanks to Three UK and their free country roaming I had H+ throughout most of my Scandinavian trip!!

I know it has it's flaws. The screen has very slight 'bend' in the lower corners, and I hope this will be OK with my new glass protector when it arrives, but if not I will simply get it swapped out for one that doesn't have the bend issue. Compared to some issues I've had that is so minor it's not worth mentioning. Compare it to my friends who spend £700+ on top end iPhones who had them go all 'curved' simply by having them in their pockets!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] lilhaiti:
I've had my G5 for a little over 3 weeks now and I must say that I am seriously digging this phone. I was team HTC up until the M9 which wasn't a bad phone...just very mediocre in most regards. One thing I LOVE about this phone is the camera, man this thing takes amazing pictures and the wide angle lense is a very welcomed plus. Battery life for me has been good but not great, standby is great but it drains a little on the fast side under moderate usage, overall not bad. The build has some minor detail issues that I no longer see because I put the phone in a case.

A lot of phones receive negative press and do not fully deserve it. I believe the G5 and HTC 10 both have received tough reviews, but both seem to be damn good phones. A lot of people subconsciously base their opinion off of the opinions of reviews and it seems to muddy the waters.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] galr:
Yep, all the reviews keep saying S7 Edge... so I went to buy an S7 Edge. Luckily, last minute I followed my guts and got the G5. Boy I'm happy with this phone!

I had it with me in Europe and it is amazing. :good::good::good:
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jinkerz9430:
hahahah that's what i thought at first. That the notification bar was the one burned in the screen, but it is the opposite, because the notification bar is pure black, it doesnt degrade the pixels from is true colors. The areas of pure blackness in the phone with amoled screen doesnt use the pixels, instead it turn them off. You just have to search on google for a white image and put it in a full screen mode. You will see that there are 2 whites. One one kind of yellowish turning brown, and the other one is the best one an amoled screen can achieve. Therefore, your situation is just like mine. We have our screen about 95 percent completely burn, the other 5 percent is not burn. And if you leave an image with multiple colors and some sections with pure black then only the color parts will burn in. Then black part wont.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kms108:
These amoled now operate differently than it used too, the black is still on now, they are slightly lit, unlike the very early version, just go into a totally dark room and use a pixel tester for a total black screen, you can see the black is still lit.

HA! to make it worst hahaha. well, i think im ready to change to the lg g5 as soon as the root for the h830 is released. Just imagine that i bought my father an LG g3 and i almost told him to exchange it with me lol! It is way faster than the s5, sure, the picture of the lg g3 is not as good as the s5, however, i bet the lg g5 can beat the s5 camera even if they have the same amount of mega pixels. It's not that im against samsung, but a dont feel like buying a new screen everytime i leave the screen on, or that every 6 month to 1 1/2 i have to buy a new screen. The day that AMOLED screens solve this issue then i might consider to go back to them. Otherwise, im out of AMOLEDs . I dont really care about pure black colors in a phone, in the end when you pass the photos to computer they all have the same black lol. By the way. thanks for letting me know about how AMOLED works now.

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

That's why they suggest to use dark wallpapers, because by using it you will use less battery, but that only qualifies for AMOLED screen, However i put IPS and AMOLED Phones in a balance and (i will take samsung again as an example because i have followed the flagship of samsung since the S2 and Note 1 and all of then got burn in screen) i just see that there is not significant improvement in AMOLED devices now. In fact, for me the samsung galaxy s5 is better than the S7 or the S6. The S6 removed the waterproof, the S7 added back the waterproof, the S6 added the IR back, the S7 Removed it. Both S6 and S7 removed the ability to change the battery (unless opened the phone=remove warranty), The S6 had 16 MP of camera, the S7 lowered the pixels of the camera. As you can see i dont really see any real improvement in the s7 or S6 . Removing and putting back, then removing again. In exchange, the LG has show improvement (sure in a slow way, taking its time but the have done it). they even kept the ability of IR which S7 removed. sure, it is not important for many people, however it is there. What makes a phone great or interesting is that even if you dont use a feature at all, the feature is there for if any day something happens, or your interest to use it awakes all of the sudden. It's the same thing people dont understand about the modules, they say that modules are crap , but they don't see the real point of those modules. They are not a need, they are a want (You use it if you want them, not if you need them). And also there are rumors that LG is open for developers who wants to create new modules and they will earn a significant percent of the income generated. So,,,, who knows if there will be even more interesting things than we are currently seen on the LG G5. ;) (I have always appreciate the smartphone developers who give us the option in case we need them :good::good::good::good::good:)

Sometimes when I run the TomTom or iGo, the phone is restarted. Often, when you keep in the pocket of the trousers, sack and stands. If you give a blow sometimes stops.

I thought it was the micoSD, because I heated the device and changed. Now that is brand new, still the same thing happening.

Hi all,

I have a Nexus 5 that I bought second hand. It powers up but is stuck in a bootloop. The Google Logo appears and it starts to load but it does not progress. I can get in to boot loader and I have tried to do a factory reset but it it still stays in the boot loop. I have tried to install the new factory software using the Nexus Root Toolkit but nothing. The Phone is also locked and I cant unlock the phone so the Nexus Root Toolkit wont allow me to try to flash the stock image? I am at the end of my knowledge base as I have tried almost all the normal methods to unbrick and fix the boot loop. The Phone can access the boot loader. When I try to unlock the phone using the Nexus Root Toolkit, it unlocks it but does not write the data and it becomes unresponsive! I have no idea if USB developer is on in settings as I have never got in to the Android operating system as I cant get past the bootloop.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VW_Factor:
I purchased a Verizon branded Note3 quite some time ago. Came to be already rooted on the stock rom.

It started acting a bit funny, and I didn't like it. Figured I might finally try flashing a custom ROM as I did with my Note 1 AT&T.

Followed some directions on custom recovery ( I did confirm that recovery was stock ). Flashed in TWRP with Flashify as per my reading on the forums here. Got the "verizon software not authorized error". Bummer, I guess the bootloader was still locked or something.

I got the phone back into normal operation by going into download mode, and cancelling to reboot. It operates normally until I attempt to access recovery.

What steps do I need to take to either.. (links to proper threads are ok, just need a hint in the right direction)

Unlock the bootloader, flash a recovery and get a custom ROM..

Or simply return to stock recovery for completely normal operation.
