disappointment

I had my lg g3 for couple of days now and here are some facts:
Very slow and sluggish Im coming from an iphone 5 and it were 2 time faster no joke.. I Bought lg g3 thinking its a powerfull device but its not, its not optimazed well and the screen is an overkill. I bought it because i had lg optimus g before which were again a lot quicker than my current phone.
other than that lg g3 is pretty good, excellent camera. Decent battery live but I will be sending it back, any suggestions on what phone i should get?

I haven't had any issues with the phone being sluggish or running slow. Even before I rooted it, the phone ran smooth.

I agree it is slow and sluggish, however being someone who will be installing new roms as they become available, I am willing to wait because I know good things are still to come.
I had a Galaxy S3 and even that wasn't a very pleasant experience, however with the correct Rom and custom kernel I couldn't find anything bad about it anymore other than the hardware limitations.

Try root and freeze some unwanted apps should help make it a bit smoother. Also changing to art. If its mega slow could be faulty. I do agree the the ui needs better optimisation. Its the only issue this device has but its only just released give it time and they maybe fixes and even new version of android around the corner

They made the screen good without rising the price and now it's an overkill for some people lmao nothing is ever good enough for some people

Roms and kernels won't help,maybe a little but the phone struggles to power the QHD screen. LG went too early and with an underpowered system on chip (for QHD). Sad, but that's it .
PS, The M8 is blindingly fast and smooth so if thats what you're looking for get that.

Its an overkill because the screen is clearly affecting performance of the phone. It looks like the phone cant handle a screen with massive resolution. I dont know about you but I would rather have a phone with a full hd display rather than quad hd if it performs like a 2014 flagship rather than 2012 flagship. No joke, lg g3 is as quick as an iphone 4s i use at work. Maybe it will get a bit better with updates, will see.

Is the iPhone 6 out already since he already had the latest and greatest Apple Engineers could produce. I had this phone since Friday and noted no slowness. When root is available I plan to debloat the phone. You can try a different launcher like Nova or my favorite now Holo. There are some setting in developer mode that can speed up like turning off the Animation setting or switching to ,5X

Sadly I'm thinking the 801 was a poor choice with that monster screen hopefully some patches can improve it

Go back to your iphone. Sounds like its all you can handle.

Another thing to remember is this phone is cheaper than S5 and Note 3 despite being better ( only to some of course and only iphone 4s good for some other $570 no contract att version. It just came out, already has root and from the look of things bootloader is almost unlocked too (att version).

This is such a misguided statement. The LG G3 in no way struggles to power the QHD display nor does it struggle to power the Optimus overlay. Now, it would struggle to meet the same level of gaming performance when compared to a Snapdragon 800/1080p display.
But saying that it's struggling to push simple pixels on the screen is simply ignorant and starting to fall into circle jerk territory.

Thanks for sharing, I'm glad you feel important enough to go around the impressions thread and make your own thread on the G3 forum. go back to iphone, seems better suited for you. I experience none of what youre experiencing.

Mine runs buttery smooth all the time... The screen isnt affecting performance. I'd say any slowdowns are due to LG's software.

For a start it's using up 600mb of Ram for video much more than an HD screen, leaving only around 300-400 for apps. It's using more resources to produce the extra pixels leaving less for multitasking etc. You can see the dropped frames during animation transitions and feel the heat from it as it's working harder. I loved the phones design but I really couldn't take the lag,stutter and throttling after 2mins of use so that's why I returned it,it's really no big deal, if you like it then stick with it. I might try and get an S805 version when it's released.

LG Have Released This Phone Too Early

They have given us a phone that struggles to power the QHD screen. I played with the new Galaxy Tab yesterday and its the same,stutters and lags because of the crazy high resolution.
They have given us a phone that shutsdown I've no doubt because of component failure due to high temperatures and had the cheek to say its fixed with a reboot instead!
We get a phone with the old Xperia Z1 camera sensor rather than the new Z2 sensor.
In the UK we get a 2gb version so we get redraws all the time and apps shutting down in the background.
And what causes most of the of the problems?? A QHD screen which is barely any different to an HD screen is poorly calibrated and has a visible digitizer.
No amount of software updates will help this thing, most of the problems are hardware related.
Thanks LG,I'm now stuck with this pig phone for 2 years!

Updates and unlock bootloader will help us ...
desde un Lg g3

I somehow agree with you, good thing is, I returned my G3... ??

I only agree with the heat-issue, and thus I conclude, that it's very unprofessional of LG not to have applied any thermal-grease on the chipset. (From what I've read, there isn't any) hence this issue appears.
hate or love the qhd display now, in some months/years it will probably be standard on phones. And people will ask in that time,
"Hey which phone was the first to ship with qhd display? and did that go okay" you know looking back.
2gb vs 3gb performance is on pair.
Remember android o/s works wonder with 2 and 3 gb ram.
if you experience something sluggish on 2gb, chances are it's equally sluggish on 3gb

I experience only minor lag and it is not much just randomly.
I think the phone is great. Hey Moto X could root but wasn't permanent unless bootloader was unlocked or was able to see the write permission flag off so be happy with the root.
I feel people don't allow proper variance to smart phones.

I'd agree with most of the original post except the digitizer which I really couldnt see.

PS. The QHD display uses more RAM for video RAM 300mb HD Vs 600mb QHD so you need the extra RAM for QHD.

Lol at the G3 lagging. The Tab S lags because of Touchwiz.

Anything will have lag in it. Damn. Overheat issue... So no problems here with mine. Overall an awesome phone that does everything I want it to. Some of you guys expect holograms to pop out the phone lmao.

Use the 1080 flagships for a week or so and you'll see the difference. The G3 is a slow pig because its underpowered for a QHD.Even the new S805 G3 review says that smooths out the lag and stutter issues.

I haven't had any issues as most people complain about. Lag or excessive heat. I haven't experience any issues as of yet and i've had my phone for 2 weeks now.

D855 3/32gb
Lags: nothing annoying or particularly noticeable for me. Definitely no worse than my S4.
Shutdowns: I haven't had one. Had the phone for about 3 weeks.
Camera: Honestly, I don't use the camera much so I can't say too much. But it had been good for me.
Screen: looks good to me and no visible digitizer. Although, I must admit that I can't help but think it would be a slightly better phone with 1080p.
Overall I'm very happy with the phone. I was expecting to send it back after a trial, going from a lot of comments from here.but I've found most of the stated problems are non existent for myself. Very good phone imo

+1 on that. Had mine over a month now without a single issue.

This.

Are you sure that you people are not buying Chinese fake phones? I too have never experienced any lag, any heat (not more than any smartphone I've ever own and the s4 used to get really HOT) battery life around 6 hours SOT.
Jokes aside if you people are experiencing all these problems you should take your phone back for exchange or repair. It's definitely not normal.
To be honest it's the best android phone I've ever owned. I had the galaxy s, s3 and s4 .... I my original idea was to get the one plus one but it's impossible to get. After that one I don't think there's a better phone these days.

Same here. Always get these hate posts when new devices are released. Why don't people like the OP just return their devices? My G3 is fantastic and have had the Note 3 and M8.

It's funny watch people repeat like parrots that the 801/330 combo wasn't ready for qhd. Now the 805/440 is out and the benchmarks and performance is nearly identical to the 801/330. What now guys?

To be honest,benchmarks don't mean much. The review I posted yesterday said after a week of use the 805 as smoother and faster than the 801 although battery was the same.

I don't have any problems either on my G3 D855 32gb...
I don't experience those lags, screen problems and others...
We know it comes with QHD, we know the specs before buying it... I find it really funny that people complains about the QHD display after buying the G3, while they could have chosen to buy other phone without it.

I have many lags with my g3.

Already? This could come out in about 6 months according to other articles. Pretty sure I'm returning my G4 to Verizon in exchange for a Nexus 6..

1. Rumor
2. Guess you missed the thread that still sitting here on the front page started today about this every same thing

I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I've never truly had my mind blown. If the specs are fact, then I'll be prepared to be blown.

I'm returning my G4 as well, and getting another Note 4, a black one this time. Such hot specs on this gizmo and being unrooted is like driving my Benz at 55mph. Can't even run any adblocker. What kinda life is that!

Screen's too big for my taste. Same reason I've never liked the note or Nexus 6 even though i owned them both. G4 is pushing my limit with size as it is. I would only be jealous if the thing comes with an unlocked bootloader out of the box!

Haha.. I know how you feel.. well, I'm planning to return mine too.. Tell you the truth, the only thing I consider when choosing G4 is external battery and media card that Samsung left behind and wonderful root experience I got with G3.. but LG playing hard on this unlock thing, so no more LG for me..

I hope the lg g4 pro will alot better then this g4 808 snapdragon.

The new "Low Power Consumption" feature - any feedback ?

Hello,
I just read that, along with the G6+, LG will deliver an update for the regular G6 which will enable a new "Lower Power Consumption" mode which is something I am very interested in. Does it really increase battery life for the G6 significantly (which would make me really consider buying it) ? I wonder if anyone has experience with this ?
Thanks !

Am I the only pissed that I spent $400+ on a phone 3 months ago and its already outdated. **** LG such Bull****.

Wrong that's the note 8 we new it was coming. As well as the v30. But 3 months ago no one expected to already be outdated. Opinions vary but trust me I love my phone would love it more with the + features mostly the ram. I use multiple window a lot. With ram heavy apps.

All I'm saying is that what happens when you buy tech right when it comes out. You can always wait 4 months and get it cheaper or get the next big thing.
And I think greenify is ****. I used it for awhile and saw only marginal improvement and it makes the screen flash when you turn it off while it hibernates everything and to me that was super annoying.

True 100% but I already got good deal on my phone but don't want to upgrade again. The g7 will be OLED so I'll just wait. I never use greenify. I never have battery issues and with qc. Who even cares IMO truly. Turning of data is IMO the best way to save battery.

Turning off the phone is an even better way to save battery !
Seriously, do you listen to yourself ? Why do people buy "SMARTphones" ? Why do people buy FLAGSHIPS ? To save battery by disconnecting them from the Internet ? A Nokia 100 would have been much cheaper for you. I need my flagship smartphone to do business, to be connected, to be notified, to respond in real time.

They need to fix the network switching in low signals area. If I don't force LTE only network keep switching trough 2g-3g-4g. This continuous switching causes battery drain and heating.
Hope that will fix this.
Could they have found a way to fix the high percentage of phone idle? It would be great

Because when I'm at work and I can't have my phone on me it has to be locked in my locker. I don't need it sitting their constantly updating everything. I could restrict background data on all apps I guess. Or if once I take my lunch or break I switch data back on. Bam get all my emails and FB,SC, or whatever updates right than. Or say I'm at the movie theater I don't need data on so might as well switch it off. It may be extra 5% saved over a 2 hour movie but still it all adds up right. So yes I listen to myself bit truly I have ZERO issue with my battery. We but flagships for performance and or features, does that mean we instantly have to sacrifice battery life for it? The droid ultra MAXX was sadly a decently bad phone but the battery life was amazing. LG also makes X-power phone with a monster battery and decent specs too. All phones have trade offs but still not everyone can "respond in real time" so therefore data can be shut off

Strange, I've heard no one who solved this =(
Even users that reach 6-7 sot have as second voice the phone idle, which was a serious problem on G5 too on both marshmallow and nougat.
Btw already tried to disable Qmemo+ as someone suggested, made clean installation of 10F firmware and a second reset after nothing worked.
I'm pretty sure that is a LG problem since a guy who works with me in the same place with the same operator didn't have any problems with the S7Edge before and the S8+ now. That's why I hope for a fix xD

Couldn't get phone any lower heading to bed gotta plug in. Here's what I got. Basically seems that phone isle uses right around 1% an hour and truly I don't see that as a problem at all.

LG V20 or Samsung Galaxy S7

So, some background to my story.
I was saving up for an S8+ but had to use that money somewhere else. Need to a buy phone ASAP and looking at previous gen flagship.
I currently have a Redmi note 4 and I don't want another mediocre mid level phone. I really don't like the camera or the sound quality.
Now my budget isn't much. I can spare about $320.
I am getting an S7 (G930T) for $335 and a V20 (H918) for $300. (Both are brand new)
My only concern for the S7 is no development since it is snapdragon (Can't find a cheap Exynos). As for the V20, plenty of development but no future updates (S7 will get official Oreo).
I live in India and will be importing these devices through a family member. I've already looked at OnePlus and they aren't selling for cheap, both the 3T and 5.
All I'm looking for is a day's battery life, good camera and sound quality. Not much of a mobile gamer.
Basic needs are WhatsApp, Reddit, Snapchat, Instagram and YouTube. No Facebook.
Can I please get your opinions below?

V20 is getting Oreo sometime in the first quarter of 2018.
S7 doesn't have a removable battery, IR blaster nor is it certified shock resistant. Those were deal breakers for me. The V20 has more screen space. Very happy with my V20 & would recommend it.

I owned both phones ,the S7 and the V20 and let me tell you that the LG V20 wins in almost every aspect.

Byt the S7, trust me on this one.
I had the note 5 before the v20, and the note 5 was a far superior phone: better performance, less lag (way less lag, lg software is a joke), betetr battery life, better camera (especially in low light), better screen (amoleds are amazing), better software (again, lg software is a joke, the stock lg apps are made for android eclair compared to the polished samsung phone), better software support (i used to get an update every month on the note 5 to update me to the latest security patch, you would be lucky if you get an update every 3 months on the v20), way better roms and kernel support (you can't even properly root most of the v20 variants), and better day to day phone, I was alot happier with the Samsung and I regret buying the v20.
No one cares about removable battery (by the time you swapper batteries, rebooted, and waited 2 minutes for the software to finalize booting, fast charge would have gtten you 50%).
I never used the IR blaster.
And we all use cases, even if our phone is shock resistant.
Trust me on this one, get the s7, I wish I had the money to switch back,

Oh an snapchat is a joke on the v20, ask everyone who uses it, I don't know why, maybe it's the dual camera system, but it was a far better experience on the note 5.

Hmm ?... I love my V20 and with a zerolemon battery this thing is a beast. I would recommend this device to anyone who is going to utilize the extra battery. If not then go I would recommend s7

There are wireless charging battery cases for the s7, like this one for example: https://www.ebay.com/p/Samsung-Wire...for-Galaxy-S7-EP-TG930BBUGUS-Black/1864804731 .

I currently own both and the v20 every day any day noth even close lol.
guess ill elaborate why.
v20 is a cleaner look. Bigger screen so everything is easier to see and its on par with the AMOLED if not better. removable battery is a huge i always have one charging in the cradle charger at home. Also the built in DAC is amazing if you care about sound quality for headphones.
s7 is too small anymore and just doesnt bring anything to the table that is out of the ordinary. wireless charging and waterproofing are nice i guess.... but yeah.

I was curious to the same thing. Any AOSP ROMs for v20? I wanted to get a pixel first gen but they are 200 more than the v20 and I really dislike the looks of first gen pixels . They look like toy phones.

There is a lineage os rom (sort of), but it doesn't support the second screen.
How about huwaei mate 9 ?

Get the v20, my sgse7 throttle like no tomorrow, you cant even record a long video because if the phone heats up it will shutdown the camera and every thing with a warning, until everything cools down, it is that retarded. I had the sgs7 and regreted every minute of it, it was always super slow because again of the retarded samsung throttle they placed to keep the device"cool". When i got my v20 the difference in performance was night and day, i can record all i want and the device stays super cool, 0 throttle and i can actually have twrp and custom roms. Most new samsung phones have DVFS, that thing is hell for us, it will make the device crawl.

Nonsense!
a replacable battery is a safety net for when you find you're out and a quick swap gets you back to 100. I carry mine in a wallet at all times. Yes i do go about with a replacable battery because unlike a lot of ignorant people i know what its for
a key feature of the v20 is the replacable battery, last of its kind unfortunately, that alone was enough to convince me. This btw is the third phone in a row i have with replacable batteries

How much SOT you get with that on wifi only ?
The RN3 was very good with battery 9h SOT (snapdragon), is this the expectation you have when you say all day battery if you will be on data all day

I usually get around 10Hours. This is with 2 Sims.
On an average day about 8-9 hours. Sometimes even touches 12 hours.

Says the average SOT is 9h46 with a max of 2h13 (?) (that look right to you)
Question is how much SOT are you expecting for a days use on the v20?

Those readings say 17 hours on uptime and 9 hours of SOT.
From the V20 I don't expect much. I've had a G3 in the past and it barely gave me 3-4 Hours of sot in a full day

It's so strange to read the S7 snapdragon won't receive any development. It always was that snapdragons were the easiest to develop for because qualcom released sources unlike Samsung with exynos. So exynos could only get stock roms

In India ? there were rumours earlier.
The price is exorbitant right now.
i picked up a v20 for 30k, cheaper than i got the G4. i get the battery and everything else. The new screen i can miss but the wide angle will need post work
If you can wait, its better to get a phone that launches with Oreo as there will be mandatory Treble support
