just go into the 'secret menu'... *#546368#*870# (for the H870 model) open SMC menu and go to the bottom and select force long display, and change it to true, then the app scaling reminder/option will (should) stop. While there disable LDB (LG's 24/7 tracking software) frees up a lot of memory and helps battery to.

[LG G6 Real Life Review] EMJI79:
There's no clear information about what LDB actually does? Why qoulg LG shot 300 mb usefully usage into its feet?

Anyway I seem to get an instant boost in snappiness.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
The function of LDB (MLT) is well known, you can Google it.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jostian:
Yes disabling it definitely adds a bit more zing to performance not to mention better battery.

Also never forever about developer options and animation scale. I always run mine at .5 sadly zero never works for me but I use nova launcher and its "faster than light" seething. Forget animation make it faster..also hopefully everyone knows about double tapping the recent apps button and you can quickly swap between the last app you were in and the one you're currently in. Much faster than selecting it from the list

Disabling animation actually causes black or white screen between switching apps... Just momentarily
[LG G6 Real Life Review] maxterizer:
thanks for the info bro.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] lg3FTW:
Putting it at .5x and force render 2d does not cause black or white screen between apps. That's something else. I've been doing that on every phone for 5years. From lg to Samsung
[LG G6 Real Life Review] ben cherian:
Ya i have been doing the same . force gpu 2d rendering actually causes more battery drain.

I have disabled LDB/MLT services under secret menu that helped a bit.

0.5x doesn't cause black or white screen transition. I was saying about animation off scenario

When i lock the screen apps using internet (like chrome, amazon...) are killed immediatly from ram and I have to launch them again. Is there any option to change or something I can do?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Erpinoob:
Try this:

Go to settings, battery and power saving, battery usage and ignore optimizations, then choose the app you want working even when screen is off

Very disappointed

I am having the scroll lag issues since I got my G6. I have factory reset it multiple times. No gain. I have enabled Forced GPU rendering to no avail. I disabled HW overlays but gets disabled automatically. I don't know whats wrong here. Other than this scrolling issue, I am very happy with this phone.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Ali Mirza:
I guess you are mentioning about the Google Chrome scrolling lag? Try Ad Blocker to remove the ads, A Snapdragon 821 device like the LG G6 , One Plus 3T or the Google Pixel offers smooth performance without any kind of micro stutter. LG G6 is surprising smoother than the newer Snapdragon 835 or the Exynos 8895 device Galaxy S8!
[LG G6 Real Life Review] aq88:
Not just Google Chrome

Thank you for your response. No, I am not taking about just Google Chrome. Its almost every app where there is some kinda scrolling. Examples include chrome, Firefox, Facebook, 9gag, Reddit, even XDA. Its everywhere man. Also, I do have adblocker installed.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] pomponazzo:
Mine scrolls pretty, pretty smoothly in all those apps and using Adguard. There might be a problem with yours...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] lg3FTW:
I've got no scrolling issues at all. Wanna test scrolling download 9gag and enable scroll with volume keys. Hold down on the volume key. Truly there's no lag at all in my phone. Maybe, just maybe some scroll blur which is nothing to not expect. But truly no lag.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Windforce0511:
Always having problem with this phone. My Galaxy S6 was much smoother overall, no single stutter in comparison with my new G6. Basically with the G6 I came back to the days of LG G3, still the same software experience.

[LG G6 Real Life Review] maruichan:
Basically non-existant even with heavy use. Most of the heater is at the top of the phone. LG put heat pipes that attach to the battery so it's likely this is what reduces the heat substantially.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] chinchillables:
I have never had a phone that would not get heat under extensive use, heck even my computers do that. People have to be realistic about such a measure and understand how much processing power is being used in a tiny compartment. If you run an engine in a sealed box with very little venting in comparison to running an engine in the open... it's GOING TO GET HOT. People need to understand this and be more realistic when looking for a phone that they think will be ice cold at all times.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] middleearth1010:
The phone does stay cool. I have tried the samsung galaxy S7 Edge snapdragon and it just is terrible once it gets hot. That is important for performance.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] scapeinator1:
It deals with heat much better than a lot of phones. The LG G3 was a much worse offender and overheating even caused some hardware problems for me with that phone. The G6 really isn't bad at all.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] GSIXXr:
Battery died after 14 hours of of google maps, streaming music over bluetooth and recording videos. just before dieing, the Clean Master app showed the cpu tempurature at 42 degrees, with one of those clear otterbox cases on. With the Otterbox off the cpu sits about 32 degrees with med-heavy use

Hi my CPU runs at 35-36 Deg at idle time when. do some simple tasks such as browsing our watching YouTube it hits 40 Deg and while playing games it goes to 43 Deg that's the max I've seen in the device. I monitor the temperature using the cpu temperature app. I also get a poor SOT of 4 hours max, IDLE Time and to draw too much power
[LG G6 Real Life Review] msvr3:
A weird thing is happening with my mobile for the past 2 days. my phone never went beyond 36C even when I use it in direct sunlight sometimes. and my phone felt warm only when i used it in direct sunlight. otherwise no matter what the temperature, my phone stayed very lil warm. from Day before yestrday , during my travel, or when idle. the phone starts at 26-28C, and suddenly raises upto 33. and today it set a all time high going till 39C and the phone felt pretty much warm even when there was no sunlight and the ambient temperature throughout my travel stayed at 25C. i was just seeing youtube videos, for which my phonw never even got a bit warm, today it was high. and even unlocking and replying in fb messenger gets it to 36-37C. what suddenly happened to my Mobile. I'm pretty much mobile. for something which never crossed 36 suddnely going near 40 and feels pretty warm to touch.

JUST COPY PASTING SO THAT SOMEONE COULD HELP ME

Network reception problems / something running heavily in the background / an app was updated and now causing increased CPU usage / phone running too long without a reboot.

First of all, have you tried rebooting the phone?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] msvr3:
Guess I did that yesterday and let's see. so you're suggesting the phone should be rebooted once in while? if so the frequency!

and network recetion, I travel through the same route everyday, so the network pretty much remains the same.. and I was usingFB Messenger, how can i know which app is running in the background. and updates, was configured to run only on Wifi, I was on mobile data, so no updates were going on :) thanks for the response though. Kindly help me, coz this is driving me crazy, this is one helluva awesome phone so I don't want it to go crazy too :(
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Erpinoob:
Of course, phone should be rebooted sometimes, in order to cancel some cache files produced by Android. A frequency? My suggestion is what suits better for you. In any case at least once every 10/15 days or so, but even less if you prefer.

About network: the fact that you've travelled all day long is probably a reason of higher temperatures and higher stand-by drain, because when you travel you change your position frequently and the phone has to find mobile signal through constantly new antennas, causing it to work often even if the screen is off.

You can find apps running in background in developer options, under "active processes" or something like that. If you want to check if there's something eating your battery in background (and therefore heating the phone too) you can download GSam Battery Monitor and check after a day of usage what's under wakelocks.

Anyway, in my opinion you shouldn't worry about a temperature of 39°C. I think it's completely normal. However, we have a very good heat pipe, and that temperature is just warm, not even close to being called hot, so you don't have to worry about it. Under 65°C (and even more) there's no danger and there's not thermal throttling, this means that the phone runs perfectly fine and doesn't low CPU frequencies.

You're absolutely right! I should never worry about that at all. but the thing is for all the same scenarios my phone became a little warm and never crossed 36, provided that there is suficient airflow outside, if not I'm stable in traffic, my phone irrespective of temperature, it gets sufficiently warm. I cant imagine the same during summer as temp here would raise to even 42C, which eventually will make my mobile more hot. even for simple taks, my phone become, a bit warm, but not more than that. remaining the same. regardless of temperature, my phone is getting warm. the warmness is all I'm worried about. I know this is the coolest phone because, I used to have a OP3 which became way too hot!

the real reason I got worried is that, my mobile went to that reported temp of 39C, anf felt pretty warm, when I was just using Wynk Music App, and watching some pre-stored videos in my sd card through default LG video player and replying to Messages.

AND YES, while travelling today it began behaving even more wierder which i didn't experience in my Oneplus, travelling, pphone locked with only Wynk music player running, and the ambient is 25 and the phone got upto 34C without any usage, unlocking and replying to SMS will make phone bit warm.. and whereever my bus stops idle for a minute or so, the temperature increases inn my mobile.. Why is this happening to me :(

[LG G6 Real Life Review] J-Zzz:
Does anyone else's G6 warm up when using the cameras? It stays cool most of the time but once you switch on the camera and take 1-2 photos, it starts warming up. The battery also starts dropping faster. This isn't too bad with the LG app but it gets noticeably warm with the Google Camera app. Is this normal? Going to buy the Spigen case for it so not sure if it will help with the heat dissipation.

The battery dropping faster also worries me if the phone can be used as a main camera on a trip.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Erpinoob:
You can grant permissions with ADB commands and without root, check for "more stats" inside the app

I think it's pretty normal, since HDR+ processing takes a lot of resources

[LG G6 Real Life Review] MDW 100:
"No thermal throttling" no there definitely is, sorry, I can feel it. Benchmarks get cut in half after about an hour of use. However I think it's rather excessive throttling. Perhaps it's to do with the bootloop issue...
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Newtongh:
It overheats when multi-tasking
[LG G6 Real Life Review] adorable:
Having used Pie 9.0 on my H873 for a few weeks, no heat issues at all since purchased a year ago (on 7.0, then 8.0). It'll get a little warm when used for filming a long time, but otherwise, no overheating, no shutdown, no issues.

This is with all my usual changes made - GPS/WIFI/BT/NFC off all the time unless in use, auto-update in Play Store off, auto-update of app data (email etc) OFF, all the unused and energy-sucking apps disabled or uninstalled (Google everything except play store, many LG things, no FB/Insta).... Background data use turned OFF for all apps except the ones I want to - eg. Skype, line, K9, text.

Pretty much unless I initiate data use, the only programs checking are Skype, Line, K9, text messaging.

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the LG G6's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[LG G6 Real Life Review] maruichan:
Does fairly well in low light. There is some grain, but depending on how zoomed in you are, it's not incredibly noticeable. Likely down to ISO settings.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Dlantz1225:
Handles objects in low light reasonably well though it can be a bit noisy from the ISO setting. People, however, don't look right in low light (overprocessing of their skin makes them look like an oil painting), and it doesn't handle motion in low light well at all. I have much better results using manual mode in low light, however, so I believe this is a software issue with the auto mode. If anyone else is having better experience than I am with low light people and movement, I'd love to hear what you're doing differently.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] johanruda:

[LG G6 Real Life Review] maruichan:
This camera is amazing. Sometimes the LG camera gets the white point a little off. For example, if you're in a restaurant with a lot of red lamps, it may read as a warmer setting. This is something that can be adjusted manually (and easily fixed in an image editor)

I feel like some of the details are "smoothed" out, but I don't know if that has to do with the camera as much as the app. It's not necessarily bad. If you take micro shots, it's more noticeable, this smoothing effect. It may be a setting in the camera... if you want crisp shots, it's certainly feasible. For example, I was taking up close shots of the fabric of the clothes I am wearing. However, sometimes it is hard to get the camera app to focus on the right thing. It's worse the closer you are to the subject. However it can definitely focus up-close with the non-wide angle camera, though I think a bit less than my Samsung S5 used to be able to do. If you need textures for graphic design work, it's definitely feasible though.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] timskyline86:
Camera does do some heavy post processing. You can tell when you zoom in.

[LG G6 Real Life Review] lg3FTW:
I think the wide angle is garbage for landscape shots. Click on photo and zoom in a bit you'll install see what I'm talking about. I love wide angle for closer you shots though. 2nd photo of fire is really just to show why u love the manual settings.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] brandonpa:
Does anyone use any other camera application to unlock the full potential of this camera? coming from the Galaxy s6 edge, I really liked their camera application and was easy to access the more advanced settings (iso, exposure, ect...) this camera allows that but it makes it very difficult and is overly complicated when those settings are finally available.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] PHYCLOPSH:
Using a camera app other than LG's own stock camera app will most likely result in poorer quality images. LG specifically optimizes their app to take advantage of the phone's hardware to the fullest potential.

Thus why if you ever flash a non-stock-based ROM, you will find that your camera is just not as good as before.

I really like the camera, feels like an upgrade from G5, but too bad there's no 13mp 16-9 mode
[LG G6 Real Life Review] rahulsuneja:
Why is nobody here talking about the front camera? The rear camera has a horrible oversharpening effect and the front camera is plain trash (normal & wide both). What I further do not understand is why the 13MP mode doesn't have a 16:9 or 18:9 ratio. Clicking pictures in 4:3 on this already narrower display is a mediocre experience. With the G6 camera being ported to the G4 already, I do not find a single advantage having the G6 over G4 for still photography (both manual & auto). Why are people being irrational and praising a sub-par camera setup on the G6?

I just got my Indian G6 (64GB & Quad-DAC). I am coming from an LG G4 (H818N) and I haven't been impressed by the cameras. The display on the G6 is better, the design & ergonomics are better, the build quality is exceptional too. But if you have used a G4 or an S7e or an iPhone 7, you will not like the cameras on this one.

For anyone reading this who is out to buy a new device, if you prefer a good smartphone camera you will be let down. Go for a Pixel or S7e or S8/S8+ for better camera performance.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] nabooxxx:
I have a Xiaomi Mi5 too. What I did notice for sure is that the Mi5's front camera is way better that the one on the G6. Also, the back one seems better on low light conditions. The one on the G6 seems to "lag" in stand-by mode. On the G6 : the main camera is having exposure and saturation issues, the wide angle one has oversharpening issues. I don't know what everyone are praising about... I sure hope they will fix some issues with the next updates.

I kinda feel sorry I didn't chose the S7 Edge.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] rahulsuneja:
You are still talking about a recently launched device. The G6 front camera is worse than my good old G2 and S4. I have a Oneplus 3 in my house whose front camera is way better than this S#! T on G6. How I wish we had return policies here in India. Very disappointed. I am done with LG atleast for this life time! ?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jeremiah Bonds:
Yeah, the full resolution isn't cropped like the 16:9 one.. You can open it in an app and do the cropping yourself.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] ClausG76:
Hmm. I'm getting a little confused. I was considering buying the Huawei p10, because I want to use my mobile more, for taking pictures. Then the LG G6 is on a discount, making the G6 almost as cheap as a Huawei p10. And some reviewers says that the G6 camera is better than the P10 also in low light.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] rahulsuneja:
If you do not care about the front camera, the G6 is probably the best phone for you. But if you do care about the selfies and also want exceptional quality stills, I'd suggest going with the Pixel or Pixel XL.
