[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AB__CD:
I pre-ordered my S8 last week, but now LG has opened its pre-orders here too. It's a good ~USD 100 cheaper and will actually beat Samsung to market despite starting later (by only about 3 days though). I got the chance to play around with a dummy, and I will say I slightly prefer the blockier construction on the G6 versus the S8's super-thin design (although there's no doubt the S8 looks better). I haven't had the chance to play with a real demo one though, but I'm definitely going out of my way to try it. I'm not terribly concerned about performance or display or camera, but what I am concerned about is battery. I'm someone who's very heavy on my devices, sometimes going 7+ hours SOT a day, and my S7's battery has become a bit of a slog in the year since I got it (even on lighter days, which I realize is still at least 4h SOT, it requires a mid-afternoon "nap"). The G6 does come with a larger battery, but also a less efficient processor. Which one do you think will serve me better, for the next year or so?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] suhridkhan:
I am a LG fan myself and has used all the LG flagships since G4, both G and V series. I am expecting my G6 to be delivered today. :) I don't like Samsung because of their software, but that's just me.

As for you, if that extra 100$ is not a concern I would recommend the S8. For a heavy user, a power efficient cpu will probably give you longer sot, despite smaller battery.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AB__CD:
I can deal with the software, I actually kind of like it (I know, I'm a monster hahaha). If I'm not wrong, standby is better on LG than Samsung right? Anyway, keep me posted on your G6's battery. I'm interested in hearing about it!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] echto:
I think the battery life of the G6 is good, but twice now I've seen the battery level drop really fast during the day.

Here is what's common about those two incidents.

1) The phone was hardly used on those days.

2) Connected to WiFi.

3) Appears to happen after a week + days since the last time.

I'm beginning to wonder if the cause is some sort of carrier, or LG, baked in app collecting data, or running diagnostics. Being on WiFi kinda makes me suspect that because we know companies have been trashed before about consuming data on metered lines.

Regardless, it's irritating to find half your battery gone by noon when the phone has been on the coffee table for the entire time. A reboot appears to correct it, or resets the clock.

As for rogue apps in the background, I don't install apps. I've used the same apps for the last two years+ and didn't experience this on my V20, S7E, Note7, or V10.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AB__CD:
Sounds like poor callibration on LG's part. Or perhaps intentional result modification to give the illusion of good endurance. Much like my S7 drops rapidly after exiting Ultra Power Saving.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] echto:
I was excited about LG Pay, but that appears to be a slow moving boat. For those that don't know, LG Pay will use magnetic field modulating technology similar to Samsung Pay, which allows the phone to be used as a payment device with older magnetic card readers. Unfortunately LG Pay won't be released until June, and then only in South Korea. So far, LG has only been able to bring two, yes only two, financial institutions on board. No word if LG Pay will be released in the US.

I did like Samsung pay, but hated the white background it went to after an update. It looks like the white background may no longer be there from recent pictures I've seen.

I'm teetering...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Cri87:
Hi, I would like to buy LG G6 or S8, It is true that the rounded corners are bad on G6???
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AB__CD:
Theyre not bad per se, just differently done. Where the Galaxy S8 has a normal display with bezels that cover the corners, the LG G6 display is a display whose corners have actually been cut off. This improves durability, as the corners are less likely to be impacted during a fall. This means the corners arent perfectly smooth, but only about as jagged as a circle on the display is. Which is to say: not noticeable when viewing normally.

There are lots of reasons to get the S8 over thd G6, and vice versa, but this ain't one of them.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Cri87:
Thank you so much for the info :good:
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] suhridkhan:
The curved display of s8 is a big minus for me, along with the fingerprint sensor position.

Specially when watching a video, or playing games, the curved edges looks really ugly.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] echto:
The curve is not as dramatic as previous curved Galaxy phones. The S8 reminds me a lot of the Note 7. Both the G6 and S8+ are great phones.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] suhridkhan:
I had the opportunity of having a s8 for a couple of hours yesterday from my cousin. I admit it's a gorgeous looking phone, but still couldn't really like the screen curve, it's just not for me. Functionality is more important to me than aesthetics. My G6 got delivered today, and so far I am pretty happy. The only thing I am gonna miss is the notification LED, guess I just have to get used to the always on display.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Cri87:
You need to evaluate well for both and against...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] echto:
I haven't turned my my G6 yet. I'm going to use the G8+ for a day or two before decided which one to keep.

The G6 definitely feels better in the hand with it's flat edges.

The S8+ finger print sensor is not as bad as the press is making it out to be. The press should concern themselves with more important issues in my opinion.

The display on the S8+ is fantastic, and you can stream music to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] engofct:
Whichever goes on sale first

I am waiting for Verizon to put one of these two on 50% off sale. Probably won't happen until Black Friday. No hurry, my G3 is working perfectly with Nougat 7.1.1.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] GuestK00192:
Get the S8 if the fingerprint sensor is not an issue for you. The G6 is slower than most 2016 flagship. You could also get an S7 since its both faster and cheaper. Oh, and no bootloop :)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] mhill1986:
I had the s7 and the s7 edge (and the Note 7 for that matter}, and none of them were faster than the G6 I have now. YMMV.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] GuestK00192:
too bad all the tests on the web says otherwise (Exynos with Nougat). The G6 is a joke. It even got a CDN$400.00 rebate since day 1 (using the trade in promo, I used a $15.00 Alcatel pos) + free LG TONE INFINIM (CDN$170.00 value (apparently)).

Terrible battery life, mediocre camera,2016 CPU, GG 3 and will probably get the bootloop plague. There is no reason (but the cool shape/screen ratio) to get this phone at retail price or even close to retail price. Its an overpriced mediocre phone thats great to hold.

And for some reason, only a few countries get the wireless charging ! What a weird decision.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] mhill1986:
Battery life is on par with most of the other flagships (somewhere between 4.5 and 6 hours SOT) and I stick by my assertion that performance is on par as well. The camera has strengths and weaknesses just like all cameras. Anyway, I'm enjoying the device. I'll leave it at that.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rfarrah:
I also went with the G6. Never been much of a Samsung fan, but did want to at least have an open mind. I really prefer the screen size of the G6; the S8 just feels too long and narrow. So far battery life has been excellent, even with the AOD turned on. The camera seems to be a big improvement over the G4 I came from. FWIW, I'm very happy I chose the G6 over the S8. As always, YMMV.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] thewilkster:
The curved screen on the S8 was enough alone to steer me in the G6's direction. It might look good but I've heard too many stories of accidental touches from previous models to know it would probably drive me bananas. Also: a sensibly placed fingerprint sensor, 2 cameras and slightly less expensive.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] OolonColuphid:
Here's my take: I really like the look of the S8, and the hardware sounds pretty great, but I chose the G6 because I hate that Samsung feels the need to be so heavy handed with their software. The Bixby thing is just dumb and Touchwiz is terrible.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] gflexstump:
Lg G6 is far from slow in everyday use and a side by side comparison the LG seemed faster. Really you want a bad placed fingerprint sensor go with the S8. You need curved or amolod go S8. You want the better built phone and like the 18/9 being flat and willing to give up some blacks but better whites go with the G6. Good luck with your decision.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] seawolf823:
I returned my G6 and got an S8 and am glad I did. The LG was slow and didn't look anywhere near as nice as the S8. I have to say I have tried every LG Flagship including v10 and v20 and every time I went back to Samsung. BTW Touchwiz is nothing like it used to be.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] umx:
I am kinda holding out for the v30 and see how that looks and specs.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jarod27:
I tried all Samsung flagships and I always ended up fleeing them.

It's a matter of personal taste

I'd like to see those tests run on the G6, just for comparison.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] markfm:
I just ordered from VZW, $250 w/2 yr commitment. SInce I've been VZW for years it was a painless choice.

My G3 from 2014 is still going strong, I simply felt like it was time for an update.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] engofct:
Right now my line charge is only $20/month because I own my phone. However, they will increase my line charge by $20 a month if I take the 2 year deal. The total cost of the phone would be $480+$250=$730, which is more than the retail cost for the phone. Verizon is horrible at not being upfront with all the hidden costs.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] markfm:
That reeks. For my new phone I'm showing the monthly line charges staying at $20, one time charge of $273 (phone + tax + tax on the $40 upgrade fee -- they waived the upgrade fee but a mechanics thing meant I got charged the taxes on the $40 before the $40 was credited, not worth haggling over)

Apologies for the brief OT [emoji3]
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] hawkye:
I have the LG G6 and my wife just got her S8+. The S8 just seems a ton faster with zero lag no matter what I throw at it. I was so pissed with the Note 7 debacle that I stayed away from the S8. I think I made the wrong choice as I am back to using my Pixel XL over the G6.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] mhill1986:
Every s8 I've tried in stores (about a dozen) stutters even when you press home. They can't seem to perform smooth animations. This was also the only thing I didn't like about the Note 7. I just don't get why people keep saying the s8 is lag free. If it is lag free, I really want to consider it, but I have never seen a stutter-free s8. It's kind of driving me nuts because I don't know whether to take the leap based on the experience of others or just go off what I myself have seen. My G6 performs better than any s8 I've seen. I almost want to jump to the s8 just to see if everyone else is lying :).

Edit: sorry if I've written this multiple times in this thread. I forget where I've written what!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] le0.br4zuc4:
I have always used Samsung, when I had to give up my Note 7 I tried the Pixel XL and liked it a lot. Decided to try the G6 since I liked the Pixel a lot and I'm very happy. Specially with the wide angle camera. Overall I think the S8 is a better phone, better looking too but I wouldn't change my G6 for the S8. I absolutely love this camera

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] malimal:
My G6 lags horribly. Just simple things like pulling down the notifications.

But wanted to get away from Samsung because of the lag. Still have my S7, and almost feels faster.

Did you see this?

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] murok9042:
S8 does has a notification light while the G6 doesn't. Also double amount of internal storage as the G6 and wireless charging at least here in Europe.

Also the S8 can use galileo satellites for positioning, the G6 don't unfortunately due to the older chipset. That's pretty lame for a 2017 flagship device.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Ali Mirza:
Wow didn't expected from a Snapdragon 835 equipped Galaxy S8! When will the day comes where finally Samsung will be lag-free? :eek:

That's also the reason I left Samsung Touchwiz long ago, I switched to LG (from the LG G4) and love LG to date, also the amazing LG UX is amazing and my favourite skin. Any kind Lag also also drives me nuts as seen on even Exynos Galaxy S7 or the Note 7! I really didn't expected from SD 835 device which the CPU is the best to date! LG G6 is easily the latest device to enjoy the LG UX 6.0 and it's smooth software experience! Will definitely get the amazing LG G6 soon.

hello guys, i ordered normal 3200mah battery for note 3 but seller sent me 6400mah by mistake, altough the phone is now heavy and bulky battery life is amazing so im thinking to keep it, just dont like the fact that i dont have any protective case on my phone now (btw this is my 2nd note 3, previous one broke)

is there any cheap protective cases for note 3 with extended battery, cant find anything on ebay with fair price and shipping to eu?

this is the battery and the back cover > https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51ilhaUjA-L._SX522_.jpg , if there is such a case - dont know if all 6400mah cases are standardized and will fit.

Zerolemon, Anker and Hyperion all have this 6400 mAh battery and cases. So you could check their sites for stock.

Check if that 6400 battery aint damaged, aint it kinda weird u got a better battery by mistake?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pltctytc:
they're practically giving away note 3 extended batteries and screen protectors since the phone is so old now

laza $1.99 6400 battery just bought 2 and have been using laza for years. will try to keep the note 3 until they start making phones w/replaceable batteries again instead of phones that look like works of art
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sicuro:
I considered a battery case for my phone but just decided to get a normal case instead and bought an external 16000mAh battery. Can charge more than one thing with it and it holds about five Note 3 charges.

no need to flash it if there's nothing wrong

if there's something wrong, try to flash latest MIUI Beta firmware, you can find it in ROM section, and no need to flash it everytime you flash a new ROM, just flash it once and you're good to go
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Evanlw85:
I have a stock Oneplus 3T, updated to 4.1.3. I wanted root access to allow Cerberus more control.

So I followed the Oneplus 3T root guide by "Theunlockr" .com

I downloaded:

TWRP v3.1.0-1-oneplus3t.img

SuperSU v2.78 SR5

No-Verity opt encript v5.1​

I followed the instructions as closely as I could, I installed the TWRP and cleared the phone (that booted normally),

Then I went to flash SuperSU and No-Verify, cleared the cache, restarted and my phone, and It didn't boot, the red dot logo animation would just play on a loop, I left it for an hour because it did warn me that it would take a while.

When I was satisfied that it wasn't going to start, I restarted it a couple of time, no-dice.

I also tried flashing a more up-to-date SuperSU. (v2.79), still didn't work.

So, now I've gotten myself further stuck, I flashed the stock recovery back onto the phone and decided i wanted to flash the Open Beta 5 OS.

But now when I go into recovery (stock), I can't connect to ADB properly.

I click " Install from ADB " - I've been using this, but it only seems to allow Sideload, but If I try to sideload it, it tells me it can't read the ROM.

So I changed ADB versions to the ones from mfastbootv2.

and now it says "error: protocol fault (no status)",

I can't use the push command because it just says "Error: closed"

So I'm kinda stuck for what I can do from this point forward to get my phone working again...

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your time

Evan
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Anova's Origin:
There's so many different builds of SuperSU that it's getting hard to keep track of which one works. I know that flashing an older version does tend to cause endless boot animation. SuperSU 2.79 should work, though you'll likely need to dirty flash OOS again before flashing it.

I've also found ADB to be rather finicky in recovery. My advice is to use an USB OTG adapter and load any files that you need on a flash drive. Afterwards, follow these steps:

1) Boot into fastboot and flash TWRP again using your PC and fastboot commands

2) Download whatever version of OOS you want (stable or open beta) and somehow load it onto your phone, whether through ADB or USB OTG

3) Boot into TWRP and flash the OS that you've downloaded, wipe cache/Dalvik. You can clean flash if you want, though dirty flashing should suffice in this situation.

4) Flash either SuperSU v2.79, or Magisk v12.0. Both Magisk and SuperSU will root your phone, I just prefer Magisk due to its extra capabilities and more straight-forward development.

5) Reboot, the rebooting process shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

Using a flash drive also has other benefits, you can save nandroids directly onto it through TWRP. This both saves space in internal storage and keeps the backups safe in the event that your phone gets inadvertently wiped from any unforeseen incidents.

Additional notes:

-You don't need to flash the no-verity.zip if you flash either SuperSU or Magisk, both of them contains the necessary scripts

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] hiredantispammer:
Just Franco, and install naptime and the Franco kernel app (paid) for further battery tweaks. And monitor your wakelocks using BetterBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector. But there is only so much a kernel can do to save battery, also don't use AKT as it can cripple your performance.

Greetings,

My device (LG-H918) currently has a bootloop issue after 4 months of reliable service. My problem started when I plugged in my Device for an overnight charge (using my Samsung wall charger from my Samsung Galaxy Note Edge). The following day My device was very warm to the touch and the display was showing a bootloop (repeating LG splash screen). I received a replacement device from T-Mobile (sans battery, back cover, and sim card). The device worked at the T-mobile store. Later, while I was reloading my apps and changing the settings on my device, I plugged it in to recharge the battery (Using the LG wall charger). 5 minutes later the bootloop issue returned. At this point, I have concluded that the issue is most likely with the battery, considering that the battery in question is the same one that was included with the original device and was installed when the device was experiencing the bootloop issue. I found a youtube video where an individual solved his bootloop by replacing a component in his LG device battery (which supports my contention regarding a damaged battery). I am currently waiting for a replacement battery that I ordered on eBay. My question is how can I prevent this issue from happening again with the replacement battery? I have reverted to using the LG wall charger supplied with my device (although the Samsung wall charger output specs are similar). I also am using a micro usb to usb-c adapter (I doubt that the adapter is a factor considering that i have been using the cable since I purchased the device from new). Are there any wireless charging option, or external chargers with overvoltage/thermal protection available?
