A colleague at work has the LG G3. I think it's a beautiful looking device with great specs.
I'm not very fond of this whole Knox business and possible implications with warranty. So I might think about getting the next iteration (LG G4) for my next phone.
Of course, tomorrows announcement of the Note 4 might change that, we'll see.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the LG G3 compared to the Note 3?
And that was worthy making a thread on xda ? :sly:

I should have my G3 by next week, but I am not sure I will give up the Note 3 but I am interested in giving the device a try. In my region only the Exynos based devices are available so this places a limit on the availability of ROMs such as Cyanogenmod that I really would like to run. This being said the LG is also not necessarily a greener field Lg loves their locked boot loaders this can also interfere with loading custom ROMs. If you concerned about tripping Knox most things that would do that would also void your LG warranty I think.
Android Central has a great article looking at their G3 after two months and it may have some insights for you to help make up your mind.

Hi
These phones look and pretty much have the same model number as the Galaxy note, would they run the Galaxy Roms ?

usual dual sims, tv tuner and the best... the phone has a telescopic antenna for receiving tv signals... nyahahaha
Thanks guys I already have a note, I wanted something to mess about with rather than fork out for another note, cheers for your help

Hello and thanks for developing such a good ROM for Android!
I'm looking for info specific for Note 4 910C, Exynos. There's any prediction of when it would be available?

Exynos devices? Unlikely. Developers hate them.
That's really bad news... So good results with a Galaxy Note 2 N7100.
Not a bad hardware, but without the great work from OmniROM team I'm feeling abandoned.
I'll never lose my hope that one day it will be supported, among others. In the meantime, would you guys, a lot more experienced than me, recommend me another ROM for this specific model?

I don't think anyone has supported any of the Exynos5 variants well. Yeah, sort-of "supported", but not WELL.
The hatred opensource developers have had towards Samsung has been no secret since late 2012, Samsung devices, especially Exynos 4 and later (Exynos3 was great due to being used in a Nexus. The Exynos 5250 in the Nexus 10 was vastly different from all of the other 5 variants), are the last ones you want to buy if you want consistent and reliable community support.
Samsung has made a point for years of NEVER using the same SoC in their flagships as they do in Nexus devices. (Nexus S was the only exception to this, and that was their first Nexus.)

They are giving us the new Touchwiz icons that look like they are the result of Touchwiz being raped and getting a back alley abortion. Nooooooooooo. I hope they at least include themes so that we can hide that mess. Then again, by the time this is actually released by Verizon, I assume a lot of us will have already moved on to non Samsung phones.
I think the biggest UI upgrade I can recall occuring on a Samsung device was maybe when the OG Note got Jellybean and looked fairly similar to the Note II and picked up some new features. Otherwise, Samsung has traditionally let as little as possible trickle down from their latest flagships to "last year's" model when doing updates---look at the Note 4 or the Note 3 Lollipop situation , for example. Neither phone was as smooth or as refined under Lollipop as it was under KitKat (I do not recall if the Note 3 was better under JB or KK). I certainly do not expect things like theme support or manual camera modes to ever trickle down to the Note 4. I'll just be glad to get its RF and battery performance back to where it was with KitKat.
I highly, highly doubt we ever see this.

His demo phone seems to be very laggy as hell with MM 6.0. Hopefully by the time we getting this it should be better.
It looks like it has a few things I might like. But the icons, dear lord are they bad. Way to iPhoneish for my liking.
The settings menu looks decent to me though.

Exactly why I hope they throw in themes. I hope somebody asks on the youtube page. He's been answering questions. (I tried to ask, but youtube won't let me sign in since I deleted G+ and my YT channel.)
anyone know When is Android 7.1.1 Nougat coming to priv?
no
I don't think that the Priv will ever get Nougat. I am starting to accept it.
I have interest in this topic as well.

and yesterday just received the android security update !!!
Crackberry confirming no nougat. Very disappointing. And the keyone is a downgrade overall, so I guess it's time to go back to no keyboard because yet again no one makes them.

Sadly, no. It's nearly impossible to unlock bootloader on modern phones. I hope Google sees this phone and makes a pixel with a keyboard lol. Won't happen but one can dream!
So, Blackberry still wants to sell phones after treating "flagship" phone customers like this? I see the reason for not wanting to invest in a phone that few people use, but this hurts their reputation with existing customers who may want to upgrade.
I wonder what community thinks about this :laugh:.
Imagine that LG keeps promising about Oreo but G6 never gets it (as they did to G4).
Only some security updates and that's all.
What'd you do?

If it will happen, in autumn I will come back to xiaomi.
I didn't buy it for Oreo and it works as I expected so I would not do anything.
G6 got Oreo. In one way or another. Mine is on 8.1.
as Dejan Kruljac said, one way or another we will get 8-8.1 or P
Root will help with...

I'll continue my life without buying LG, and i'll advise the same to all i know =D
My G6 will continue to live until it break obviously, and Android update won't force me to spend more money.

Bought this LG flagship phone expecting minimum 2 OS upgrades. If they can't even provide one upgrade then I would never buy the LG products and also doesn't allow anybody to buy whom i can influence. This is for sure. What is more irritating from LG side is there is no schedules or timelines for the updates. Their PR team is the worst i have ever seen in this regard. My Indian variant can't be bootloader unlockable hence no custom ROMs either.. :crying:
Don't really care. Would like it if it was stable and doesn't slow down the device, but not really holding my breath.
Just hope that the hardware holds up and there are no failures like G4
It seems that my g6 is much smoother than it was when i bought it so they achieved it by only updating thier OS apps. Anyway lack of oreo makes this phone looks like some budget device and so the price is. I cannot imagine anger of people who paid regular price expecting flagship features. If I am going to buy new device it will be 2021 so who knows maybe lge phone brach will be non existence by this time? XD

I didn't say LG hasn't/won't got Oreo. I said that "what if"
If they stiff us with Oreo I'll cross LG off my list for future phones.
Probably root and custom rom..
