[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeadHunter19:
I've had mine lasting a mere 50 weeks from 2016 February until the end of this January. Serial number was 509, got a replacement under warranty, even though I had it unlocked. The current serial number is 701 (are they still making these?), hopefully this won't bootloop untl it would die on me. What I noticed is that the red tint (light-leak or something, previous stuff are visible like ghosts) on the edges of the screen is much more visible than before I had it working, I don't know why
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrutalUK:
I have a 601 serial and dare I say it but my G4 is working ok. It's coming up for a year in March so we'll see if I get the dreaded bootloop. Currently running V20J and battery life is pretty goodish, I get a day out if it. It used to heat up under older v20 versions but it doesn't so much now.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoyBawang2:
Update!! A new battery I ordered from LG service center has arrived and now my g4 is working like a Champ :D
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diatomix98:
Mine is also a 601 serial which i got it in March last year as well. It's still working okay except the weird double tap to wake issue.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrutalUK:
No issues with mine regarding the double tap to wake......fingers crossed!:D
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the fan:
As I remember it was discussed that all units made after septemper (not sure??) 2015 are free of the problem.

mine (H818P) is almost a year old and did not face the bootloop problem.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrutalUK:
Well that's what LG UK said to me but I've heard of 601 onwards bootlooping, BUT not on the same scale as earlier versions.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htr5:
I have a 601 UK. No bootloop so far. Since taking it out of the box, the right side of the screen occasionally shows static like on a crt tv except it's multicolored. The screen splits halfway down the center vertically but it lasts only 100-500 ms. It happens about once per day - usually while in Google Chrome or watching YouTube. This occurred before and after root/unlock.

Other than that, no problems. Very often, I have the LED light flashing for no good reason. This is fixed by restarting the Wi-Fi.

This, among other reasons is why I won't be buying an LG again. This is my first and last.

Mine 506 bootlooped after 12 months of moderate usage, and it was replaced at the end of May (under warranty) with motherboard produced in May 2017 (sn 705).

So, they are still making new motherboards, probably due to high demands worldwide :laugh:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evrk:
Mine was a 602. It didn't bootloop but another issue appeared which requires a motherboard replacement. Camera and Phone apps stopped working. The G4 is one of the worst devices ever existed. It's quality is so poor that there is a very strong possibility that something will go wrong after a year or so. LG fixed mine under warranty and it took them only 1 week. But the issue of a low quality cheap made phone remains.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrutalUK:
Mine is a 601 and I've had no issues apart from a bit of lag occasionally . Only thing replaced so far was the back camera lens.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikomedes:
Yes, I have replaced it at LG Service free of charge and no bootloop for now.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jest30:
Yeah g4 is easily 1 of the worst devices out there:

1 bootloop

2 "burn in" effect

3 bt stopped working

4 loudspeaker died

5 display randomly changed some things

But than again i got g5 se as a replacement after 2 years which is not that bad at all ☺
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eanan:
not to mention one of the worst batteries on a smartphone in recent memory.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmihai20:
About the battery I can only say that it varies too much. I have had very good battery life recently (all on stock ROM, unrooted). Mine has not bootlooped yet and I do not have any of the other issues with the screen, bluetooth, the speaker or settings changed.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ObiDanKenobi:
The battery is ok for me too, but I am not using the original battery as that one was replaced when the phone bootlooped. Constantly 4,5+ hours SOT for one day, or 3h+ when I charge every other day. I charge with a slow charger over night and this seems to make a difference.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelalmeidaptg:
Guys, my phone with 609 SN bootlooped earlier this month. It was originally 603, but after it went to warranty because of some sensors stopped working it came back with 609. The symptoms were the same as described by everyone else.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S8 and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm going to sell the G4 once it comes back. It's a shame but I can't have an unreliable phone for work reasons.

FU LG. I hope you go bankrupt
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pistacho123Lol:
Hello people, I really forgot this post was still active. Well, im sure you wont care about it, but I owned the G5 the 1st of February and it works really well, even better now that I have nougat on it. So thank you very much to everyone for your support and i hope if you still have the G4 you can fix it. I will leave this post opened so you can keep helping each other. Thank you! :laugh:

My LG G4 SN601 EU bootlooped after 1 year and 2 months. Because of unlocked bootloader and LineageOS installed, LG didn't repaired or refunded my phone. Only after argue with local seller I got my money back. LG never again! ... I bought iPhone 7 128GB instead.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rinor:
Soo guys!!!

On August 2016 my H815 botlooped after 9 months of use.

Now I want to buy another one (since the prices are ok).

Is it safe to get one now or I'd better keep my hands off. Because I live in Kosovo we have no LG retailer here and the phone comes with zero warranty.

I'd like very much to hear you're advice.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pistacho123Lol:
Are you looking for a particular brand?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rinor:
Yes LG G4 of course!

I'm also wondering if other versions like H811 European or F500 Korean. Do they suffer from bootloop too? And can I swap the motherboards (in case I purchase a motherboard). Because my body is from a H815 international mode.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bayr691@gmail.com:
I think that replacement boards still have those bootloop. I had VS986 one that purchased from aliexpress and serial was 507. Bootlooped only in week. Screwed up. After that i order board from lg via my uncle. Then arrived sn was 601. Bootlooped in 1 month. I was so dissappointed but i never given up. Reordered korean version of G4. Model number F500 sn 602. Using it for 7 month. No heat no lag updated to nougat. I can say no single issue at all. I recommended for you guys buy korean variant. Also check the sn number have a nice day.

Cheers!!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rinor:
Did you connect Korean board F500 to the dispaly of H815, or it requires frame and display from Korean F500 to do the swap?

Thanks in advance!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bayr691@gmail.com:
All G4 has same display same board. My F500 was brand new phone. You can swap any board to device. There's nothing different. Also i noticed that previously purchased board had 1.1 hardware revision. But brand new sn602 device's hardware revision was 1.0. So likely LG sent me just temprory fixed board. It's not only me LG repaired their faulty devices with faulty parts. Coz they don't want to waste money. However new 2016 production line up G4s finally fixed bootloop.

H815 display same as other G4 so no need worry for yours different.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
The hardware differs only for 1 g4 model:

The h818 has a complete different panel and besides that some 2017+ manufactured devices have a slightly different camera hardware.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rinor:
Thank You very much!

I was thinking to get a F500 board for my bootoped H815 but wasn't sure if all the connectors (eg. display, camera) would fit to to Korean board. But now that you've done it, I know that it is no problem to swap boards.

Do you know if any of the models have a better soldering of the processor (build quality), and therefore last longer?

Or they are all the same regarding bootloop and it's just a matter of luck since every model will eventually bootloop?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bayr691@gmail.com:
[MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] oh i forget about H818.

But LG never sell new boards at least me. I think that korean models more reliable to keep coz my uncle still using it for 2 years. Of course sn is very old 505. He is not easy person that he always use facebook for long periods, playing PUBG, taking selfies and access internet using LTE. But he didn't face any bootloop. This is the reason for i reordered korean G4.

If you really scared about bootloop then you have to do thermal compound mod to your device.

i am just wandering if there is a different lock and unlock method out

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zakhir_n:
if you hold down the end call key (the red one), it locks the phone, which I find much more useful than using the today item screen.

If you want slide to unlock a forum member A_C has made a PocketPC version which can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=343256

hope that helps...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cincy1020:
FWIW, holding the end button down does not lock the AT&T Tilt. I wish it did though. I have found 2 different apps on here that give options of how to lock your phone. One is the one mentioned by zak, the other is to map one of your buttons for a quick lock:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=305402&page=8&highlight=devicelock

I personally didn't care for the slide to unlock app, although most people seem to love it. I haven't tried the other yet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kimtyson:
Holding the End key locks the phone for me. Maybe it depends on what ROM you have loaded.

S2U2 (Slide 2 Unlock) works very nicely and I encourage folks to support A_C and his program. It's pretty cool.

It depends from the connection type and band used.

In my country we have LTE band 7, according to the doc it's just 0.11

Anyway, it's the best to keep the phone as far from your body(especially important organs) as possible.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] smjoshi:
The European and US SAR values cannot be compared with each other - the average tissue volume over which the levels are measured are different - Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia

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

United States: the FCC requires that phones sold have a SAR level at or below 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg) taken over the volume containing a mass of 1 gram of tissue that is absorbing the most signal.

European Union: CENELEC specify SAR limits within the EU, following IEC standards. For mobile phones, and other such hand-held devices, the SAR limit is 2 W/kg averaged over the 10 g of tissue absorbing the most signal (IEC 62209-1).

India: switched from the EU limits to the US limits for mobile handsets in 2012. Unlike the US, India will not rely solely on SAR measurements provided by manufacturers; random compliance tests are done by a government-run Telecommunication Engineering Center (TEC) SAR Laboratory on handsets and 10% of towers. All handsets must have a hands free mode.[4]

SAR values are heavily dependent on the size of the averaging volume. Without information about the averaging volume used, comparisons between different measurements cannot be made. Thus, the European 10-gram ratings should be compared among themselves, and the American 1-gram ratings should only be compared among themselves. To check SAR on your mobile phone, review the documentation provided with the phone, dial *#07# (only works on some models) or visit the manufacturer's website.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gpscorpion1:
I am from Greece too and i want to add another question to the SAR problem.

Ok, we know that lower values of SAR are better than higher values. But what is the effect of the SAR when we don't speek on the mobile, but we play games. When we just hold it on ower belly and scroll down the pages of the web, when we are watching videos on youtube, texting in instant messaging apps, etc. ?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Ci@cKi:
Well, i think that for not beeing affected by the SAR you should stay with the flight mode...

yes but then you want receive any calls. if you want to play for 1 hour you cant be with flight mode all this time

[Honor 8 Accessories] Nyssa1104:
Had the original transparent case from Honor from day one on my Honor 8 Sapphire Blue with a glass protection on screen.

I ordered the GKK Ultrathin Matte Bumper Protection Case in blue off ebay could it came within 3 weeks from China something like €2.30 free shipping.

It's a 3 part case where the top and bottom parts cover once on cover up to the screens board line and the mid section the main bulk of the phone. The top and bottom covers have two each locking tabs (push fit) into theid section of the case.

One on its a nice tight fit around the device and lays flat on the screen No Gaps.. All punched holes are spot on, camera's sensor, jack plug, speaker, mac's fingerprint sensor and charger port. Must say the light sensor cut-out is over sized for some reason not round but oblong with top and bottom being curved. The volume and power buttons all make a positive travel with a soft soft click sound when pressed.

The mid section of the case once on hugs the phone nicely and meets up with the top of the phones frame edge and not curved round over to met the screen.

Having said that the case feels good in the hand nonslip does not make the phone look bigger or feels heavier.

I left my armoured screen glasses protection on when fitting this case NOTE if you choose to leave an armoured screen protection due to the thickness of the armoured glass you will need to offer up basically take you time and make sure the top and bottom of the case when fitting is over the armoured protect and push down slowly to met up with the mid section.

Reason being if you just went and try and put the cover or or force the cover on you'll have a high rate of the armour cracking, breaking..

The other option would be to use a protection film on the screen and one could just push fit the cover section in place without worrying about any damage.

Like the phone itself the bumper case is a fingerprint magnet but it's an around good protection to the body of the phone and still use the phone as if there was no phone case on it..

Is it worth it? Yes

Can you fit case if device has a armoured glass protection? Yes but be very careful take you time very tight fit.

Would I recommend others to buy it? Yes

Doesn't seem to move or slip off a flat surface while it vibrates on calls..
[Honor 8 Accessories] jkccl9:
looks nice, would have chose a different colour tho :P
[Honor 8 Accessories] trainpunk:
It looks like a hassle....i just need a strong back case and a tempered glass that covers the whole screen.....i got the cover all right but finding the tempered glass is a bit of a hassle the Terapin ones i got did not covered the whole screen it has like 0.5 cm space from each side
[Honor 8 Accessories] Nyssa1104:
:confused:

It's not snap fit all in a few seconds without an armoured screen protection otherwise one needs to take care if fitting over an armoured screen protection.. All in all it's a well made and designed case..

There is a similar case where it protects the rear and sides leaving you to put a screen protection on at ease..
