[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] tulving:
I bought mine after watching many great video reviews, and reading comments of the first owners, where LG G6 was so fluid and great, and with great battery performance...For a couple of day I only turned it on without inserting sim card and microsd, but only WiFi just to get updates. This is because I was waiting from amazon a 128GB microsd Samsung Evo Plus U3 class (100/90 Mb/s in read/write). After that, I made the switch of my data from my beloved OnePlus One (its battery is going to be too old and its 64GB not exandable internal memory too small...), and to use it as real principal everyday smartphone.

It's only a week, and I'm really disappointed, and thinking about sending it back, cause I can't figure out if it's a firmware problem (it's a TIM branded device, with the older April security patch, so I don't know when and if it will be updated) or an hardware one.

Mine it's really slow and with lag in very specific circumstances, many of them not using 3rd-party app, but browsing in the system UI settings. For example when I go to Application menus, it takes a lot to load the list, and when the list appears, scrolling it's very laggy. I've to wait more 10/16 seconds before have a normal scrolling.

Other big problem that is really turn me crazy, is that some icons on home screens, if I restar the smartphone, disappear. The only correlations between all those apps is that I moved them to sd card...but also other apps in same situation have their icons still on home screens after reboot.

Last but not least....battery drain. I've tried to figured out with wakelock detector and StatPanels what app could I remove to fix this, but I wasn't very lucky.

Today the smartphone was also very hot in my hand, I checked and was 50° C...

I don't know if mine is one of very few unlucky LG G6 not so good as the others, but I have to deal with what I have here and now, and not with the "quite perfect ones" of the others.

So, if on these forum, or other forums, there will be not a suggestion for really solve the problems, rather the common ones tricks already tried (hard reset, disable scale animations, force GPU rendering and so on....) or LG and TIM will not soon fix it with an update, I'll send it back.

I first wanted to buy a OnePlus 5, but the LG G6 very great price offered by TIM carrier, and its waterproof feature, changed my idea...

My girlfriend has a Samsung S8...she is not a very power user, she just let all stock and install social apps she always used. But she really stressed the phone many hours a day, with the camera and social apps, and she has no lag problems and battery life is good.

Let's see those days what will happen...for now, I'm really disappointed and surprised for very bad performance in those "flagship" that has 749 euros list price.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] skyfox99:
Definitely an atypical experience. I would suggest factory reset and not installing anything and disabling any apps your don't need. If lag persists, you have a defective software order hardware version.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ASW1:
Definitely not normal, should be close to instantly.

I'm thinking it could also be related to the excessive battery drain that you're experiencing. Send it back for replacement.

I've got the Canadian H873, it's as smooth as my Pixel.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gasaraki-:
Wow, I don't know what's wrong with you guys. I have ZERO issues with my G6. Smooth as butter. No slowdowns no weird issues whatsoever.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bhawesh3313:
Working Buttery Smooth

I don't know why your G6 is lagging but i'm having a great experiencing with this phone. I chose G6 over OP5 and i'm glad i did :)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
Have had my 997.USA for 2 days now, honestly, don't think it could be any faster. This unlocked (to any carrier) version has the least amount of bloatware possible, but I've still disabled a few apps already. No point in them even loading a 'stub' if they aren't going to be used?

Very happy with the device, suggest a hard reset for anyone having issues. Keep in mind though a carrier specific device will certainly have a lot of bloatware on it.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Magfocus:
"For a couple of day I only turned it on without inserting sim card and microsd, but only WiFi just to get updates..."

I did exactly the same thing, and once I moved my data and sim over to the G6, it started to be laggy and had massive freezes. Nothing seemed to work until i did a factory reset, and now its working just fine. If anyone faces this issue, just do a factory reset and reinstall.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] biron_w:
I honestly can't believe that anybody would judge their phone on a stupid benchmark score. Boggles my mind. The G6 is my second favourite phone I've owned. With the Nexus 6P coming first.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] walder:
Had the G6+ for a couple of months. While I wouldn't describe the overall experience as being laggy, the very noticeable lag in loading the phone and messaging apps irritated me to a point where I sold it. Factory reset and not restoring from an older phone didn't help either. Animations were turned off Now with OP5 and happy (mostly). Miss the G6+ for it's camera, looks and ergonomics though.

LG really needs to dump their phone and messaging apps and go with the Google originals. And while at it, they also need to dump their kindergarten color scheme.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] shook187:
Welcome to 2016.. if that's all LG is offering this phone is a failure
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] loudog3114:
It has an awesome always on screen; if it wasn't for that, there would be no point in buying it at all.

Speaking of, my galaxy s7 edge case fit on the lg. charging port is clear, and volume rockers work. the regular camera cut out works, but the wide one doesn't and of course the power button is blocked, but I am using double tap to wake!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] The Apostle:
Are we being too critical? Maybe... Optimization will come through updates and ROM support. The 821 is still a great chip, and the phone is $650 (TMO). The S8 is now expected to be even more expensive than originally leaked. Guess they have to pay for all those 835 chips they gobbled up. JOD puts this phone at $29/month which is the same as my Note 5. The S8, S8 Plus will likely be in the $35-$40/month range. At some point the "average" consumer will not support a price point much higher. Not us, less than 1% power/crack phone users.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] thenarratorr:
I just can't accept this amount of sluggish/laggy performance.

Coming from a previous S7 Edge and iPhone 7+ that were flawless, this is just straight up jarring. Even benchmarks show how awful it is
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] The Apostle:
But we all know benchmarks mean nothing. That's been discussed at nauseum.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] bamfsig45:
I say stop benchmarking it and use the phone. If you are that concerned with benchmarks then return the phone and get the S8 with the brand spanking new 835.

I've found it quite enjoyable. Coming from a OnePlus 3T with 6GB of ram I dont notice anything different.

Plus the screen is completely flat and my TPG laid perfectly flat first try. Thanks LG, no endless searching for a screen protector.

To me the S8 looks too tall and skinny, probably them curved edges.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsxrfl1k6:
Would love to get some more real user feedback as I have this in order with Verizon - free 43 inch TV and Google home, but am still on the fence about waiting for the s8
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] The Apostle:
I had an s7e and took it back after 5 days. Curved screens are terrible IMO. My palm kept hitting the screen when holding it and it was incredibly annoying. I also do not have fat hands. Long and skinny ones to be specific. Can't imagine how infuriating that phone would be using one handed with sausage hands.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MicroMod777:
Well been using mine over a day now and doesn't feel sluggish at all. Alot faster than my G4. Still getting use to this odd 5.7".
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fineazbro:
*** T-mobile did it once again!! oh well i know i should of wait
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] loudog3114:
The benchmarks only serve to reaffirm that the phone has performance issues, for me. As soon as I started updating a few apps from the play store I was taken aback on how much the phone starter stuttering. Then some stuff as simple as settings pages were lagging. Obviously there is some issue with software optimization, but odds are the update to fix it will not come within my 14 day return window.

Samsung stuff is garbage, IMO, even with the 835. That UI and battery life; much better off getting the Mate 9 (the best android phone available at the moment).
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] bamfsig45:
Ive had many many phones (every flag ship, every nexus).....and there are always people who dont like this or that. Doesnt matter if the phone had a 900 SOC and 16 GB ram with a 5000mah battery. Something would be wrong with it.

I have not had an issue at all in the 20 hours ive had the phone. Always when getting all your apps downloaded and the cache built up will there be lag. If I was to complain about anything it would be that its not an Oled screen, and the form factor. But I knew that going in. There is always a percentage of defective things manufactured, maybe you got a bad egg.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigsaucy71:
Just ran this..I like mine so far, its quick no lag, the smaller hand print is taking some getting use to
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] pieman13:
Thanks for that. I'll be comming from a OP3T and was wondering if performance was at least that good. I feel much better now.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nonbiasedhippo:
My thoughts exactly. Obviously setting the phone up, downloading apps and using a lot of resources is going to hinder performance at first.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] majp89:
This phone has a lot of likable things going for it but the lag is insane. Don't get me started on gaming performance. I opened up Pokemon go and the game is terrible on this phone. Everything lags like 2-3 seconds (doesn't even register the spins half the time for poke stops). Network connectivity is pretty slow too and unreliable. I buy a lot of phones and was using a 7 plus up till I decided to get this. This compared to that is pathetic. This is a 650 dollar phone and I could spend 300 less or more and get the G5 Plus from Motorola and it would perform better than this heap of crap.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedrizzle:
Its better than the Pixel XL. What a piece of sh1t that phone was...gPhone or iGoog, whatever you want to call it. I'm not seeing any lag whatsoever...although I'm not a gamer. The G6 is every bit as fast (faster, the way I run my setup), with IP68 and wireless charging, no stupid wasted space with bezels, 256 GB micro SD, and all-around way cooler-looking.

The 2:1 (18:9) screen is the future, trust me on that. Movies are epic on this phone, being able to run in native resolution.

The IPS LCD is fantastic, although I do prefer AMOLED, this is the best LCD screen I've seen on a phone. The camera is as good or better than the Pixel, which is the best I've seen on a phone.

Not sorry at all I dumped my VZW-locked, buggy, lame-ass XL on some noob for a grand.

I will be picking up the S8+ as well, so ultimately it will be between this and that when it comes out. Compared to the G5 and even the V20, the G6 is just gangsta. Best Android phone available right now, IMO.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] The Apostle:
You lost me at Pokémon.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wingzfan:
After using the phone all day yesterday and installing and setting up about 60 apps as well as my exchange server that loads emails dating back to 2008, Im not seeing any lag what so ever. I played a little asphalt 8 and it ran perfectly smooth the entire time. I dont do the pokemon thing but Mario Run also ran great. If I want to see lag, I'll turn my S7 on and do my best not to throw that phone through the window. The only issue I have had with the phone so far was the T-Mobile app would not stop running. I had to clear the data and revoke all permissions to it because it was destroying my battery.

As for the size and form factor, Im loving it. Coming from a Mate 9 and S7, the G6 feels perfect, especially in the SUPCASE.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] The Apostle:
I can't get Mario Run to load. Get to red Nintendo screen then FC.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] thenarratorr:
Everybody saying there's no issues with performance, is, in my opinion, in denial and trying their best to justify their expensive purchase.

This thing lags in chrome, even lags when typing, opening apps, loading pages (even on a 1000Mbps connection), stutters in the play store.

Apps are also screwed because of the display aspect ratio and having to manually change the setting is BS.

So glad it comes with a free home because its going back the second I submit my info.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wingzfan:
I have yet to scale the aspect for any app. Could you post one you had to change so I can see what you're talking about.

As for lag, Im coming from a Mate 9 as a daily driver that has absolutely zero lag what so ever and the G6 is running identical to that. Ive had zero lag in the play store, zero on chrome, nothing what so ever. I have no reason to be "in denial" seeing as how I have plenty of other phones to choose from if I was having an issue. Why would someone be happy with a $650 phone if it was full of lag? Thats the exact reason I dont use the S7 or S7 Edge anymore. Maybe you have an app running wild or an account that is constantly syncing, either way theres zero issues with performance here. I suppose I could record the phone while using it if that'll help.

Im sure you cleared the apps data and cache right?

Quick little video using the play store and chrome. Not sure what you're seeing but I see no lag.

Odds are I am doing the same. I experience all the same lag. Mine is a dog compared to even my mate 8, let alone mate 9. I am on build NRD90U on T-Mobile. Can everyone start posting that info? I wonder if it's only certain phones having issues, but mine is certainly no flagship.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wingzfan:
I'm on a different version than you, also on T-Mobile

Software H87210B

Kernel 3.18.31

Edit: Sorry ignore that. I'm on the same build, the number above is the software version
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] loudog3114:
Well, who knows. Lag is obviously a relative term. How about loading Snapchat? If that doesn't lag your device, then nothing else day to day will. It definitely makes mine stutter a lot.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wingzfan:
I don't use Snapchat or Facebook so unfortunately can't help there.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] thenarratorr:
Somebody else on reddit with issues on T-Mobile.

Good to know we're not alone.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] The Apostle:
Anyone that has lag, have you tried a factory reset from stock recovery?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wingzfan:
Out of curiosity, what color do you have. Mines black and Im just not seeing any issues including battery drain on idle. I posted my screenshots on Android central earlier and it my idle drain was 1% in 3 hours. I dont get how we can be having such drastically different experiences.

Heres my idle drain from today.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] The Apostle:
Yes i did.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wingzfan:
Not sure then. The only thing I can say is I factory reset the phone 3 times before I began using it. The only reason I did that was I had my sd card in and when the phone would load up after a reset I had no stock ringtones. The last time I reset it I removed the sd card and when the phone booted up I got my ringtones back. Since that last reset I havent done anything but use it. I was going to wipe the cache but couldnt figure out how to get to the recovery to do so so I never even did that which I almost always do after a fresh install and setting up apps. I dont use facebook or snapchat or whatsapp so maybe one of those have something to do with the difference in performance etc. At this point I cant begin to explain it but as you see in my screenshots and video, Im just not having any issues anyones reporting. The only thing different than most people it seems is I got a black phone instead of platinum.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] The Apostle:
I think Micromod got black too. My black will be here Monday.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nonbiasedhippo:

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MicroMod777:
Oh yea. Lag is due to play store updating all the apps. Once its done, G6 is lightening!!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dkotoric:
Whats this lag people are complaining about, I have a OnePlus 3t and Huawei Mate 9, and phone is just as snappy as those two. I've had a pixel xl as well and dont notice any difference in speend between any of these 4 phones. Yes it does lag during set up, but so did my pixel.

Been messing with mine for the past hour or so. No lag at all. No stutters. So far so good.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] v4npro:
Same, all good for me.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jvianney94:
All good for me too. I have no idea what kinda lag you are talking about and who cares about benchmarks on a phone. Benchmarks are for gaming Pc's not phones. This is a killer phone coming from a guy who had a G4 for the past couple of years. I love this thing. I've been an LG phone aficionado for a few years now starting with the G3 and the G6 seems like a damn masterpiece. Some people will never be happy it seems and you will find any reason to move on to the next thing. Just try and enjoy what you have. Just my .02 cents.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] 06stang:
Good to see all the people with no Lag. I ditched LG half way through the G4 for the 6p and was waiting for this since I'm not a fan of the pixel. If it's not beating a dead horse by the time I get mine I'll hopefully be able to report zero lag too.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] majp89:
So it has been a few days now with the phone and it's really no different. The battery is solid on this phone, way better than it was for the G4 back in the day when I had that. The phone is super fluid navigating through it except in a few areas in the settings but I noticed it lags when you try to play any game with it on the charger. I guess that makes sense because it may be throttling the CPU to keep it from overheating.

But last night when I was downloading an app (the weather channel app of all things) it froze, screen went black, and it shut off and I got a message saying that my device was corrupt and could not be trusted. Long story short I had to hard reset it to get it to start up again. I haven't rooted or done anything with this phone so I'm not sure why I got this message.

My experience has been less than mediocre with it and I shouldn't have to wait for an update to fix a 650 dollar phone. When I purchase a phone at this price point I expect it to work out of the box. My job at my company allows me to purchase a couple devices per year to recommend to the people I support and I definitely would not recommend this phone so far. I'll be watching the Samsung reveal closely tomorrow which will decide if I return this phone.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] idtheftvictim:
I got 2 yesterday, one for my wife and one for me. Both are the Silver version ones. These things FLY! coming from a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, these phones are amazing. I didn't realize how slow our samsungs had become. Don't get me wrong, LOVED my samsung phone, but am pleasantly suprised with this phone since the last LG i had was the G4, which sucked @ss!!!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wingzfan:
The camera is becoming a major issue. The motion blur is horrible, especially in low light but also in daylight. LG needs to put an update out quick to fix the image stabilization.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] The Apostle:
All good for me. The only thing that will take me a day or two to get use to is the keyboard seems a bit narrow since the screen is slightly slimmer... Coming from a Note 5.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] loudog3114:
Honestly, I think the people with "no lag" actually have lag, they just aren't used to the speed that a new flagship phone should have. Coming from an S7, yes, this phone is very fast. Coming from a device known for good performance (mate 9, mi mix, iphone 7) this thing is a dog. I could argue that its slower than my nexus 6p. I had to set the animations to .5x just to get the illusion that its a reasonably fast phone.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] The Apostle:
This is laughable... I get several phones per year, all flagship. Sometimes people get bad devices. Sometimes bugs need to be worked out. No one ever seems to be happy with a new device. Everyone conjures up this utopian dream of how their phone should perform. I see it in every phone thread dating back as far as I can remember.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] loudog3114:
Define "flagship". In my book, just about anything on a shelf in the USA is garbag;, whether they call it a flagship or not. Everything Samsung has made is slow with horrible battery life, same for LG, same for Moto, OnePlus, etc. In my book, the only phones worthy of a "flagship" moniker are by Xiaomi, Huawei, and Apple. Their flagships never fail to deliver. So, laugh all you want to, but this phone is slow with bad battery life; par for the course.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] majp89:
I do know what you're talking about with the motion blur but I also find even in outdoor, plenty of light situations the shutter is slow to function and I've missed a lot of good shots as a result.

I don't deny LG phones have the best image quality out of any non-Google Pixel phone but in terms of catching a perfect moment Samsungs and iPhones are unparalleled with their insanely quick shutter speeds. In an era where only a few minor differences make a smartphone camera the best I will take the faster shutter speed any day of the week.

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

I don't think it's laughable at all. I usually have an iPhone and an Android that I switch between and this phone compared to my 7 Plus is just disgraceful in terms of performance.

We conjure up this utopian dream because we shell out 650 bucks for a premium device that underperforms phones that were released last year. I mean seriously, a midranger performs better than this phone.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wingzfan:
Im reading this as I sit with my Mate 9 on my desk waiting for the buyer to come pick it up. There is no difference in speed from the Mate 9 and the LG G6 on my end. If you can watch the video I posted in this thread (filmed from my Mate 9) and show me where exactly it lagged I'd be happy to entertain the conversation.

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

Im not sure where you're getting these statements from. The Moto Z Play has arguably one of the longest lasting batteries on the market. As for the LG's battery Im getting 6+ hours of screen on time and 16+ hours off the charge with 37% and higher left. More than happy to post some pics to show that, so here ya go.
