Goodbye LG - G3 General

Got the nexus 6 today. I really had enough of the LG lag even with many tweaks and stuff.
Thanks everyone, and good luck.

Don't notice lag on my G3. Enjoy.

Lag? Maybe the tweaks caused the lags because I haven't had a single lag on my LG G3 3GB/32GB. :S
Regardless, I was debating between the G3 and the Nexus 6 when I was buying my phone. I got the G3 obviously! Enjoy your Nexus 6! It's a fantastic device

Nexus 6 is a good choice if you dont mind its size.
about that lag, i had it first when i got it. only way to fix it is to switch to ART instead of dalvik .really eaz to set and you wont believe the difference. of course no tweaks come close to it. struggled with that lag myself in first week.
also installing lollipop also removes the lag completely, of course its using ART by default and rom itself is a much better performer.
1 more thing. if you dont wanna switch to ART for some odd reason, i think the culprit is the launcher so just check nova launcher out. set it to default and restart phone.
anyway personally i love Nexus 6 but its unusable for me cause of the size but if you are ok with it, good for you.

I wanted to get n6 cos g3 had some lags .. But after i updated to lollipop V20D i changed my mind ..cos its very smooth the camera very good and bo lags at all ..good luck man with your n6 ... Just tell me which camera is better g3 or n6 ?

So far the nexus phone is awesome, but it is bare. I do miss a few features if the g3, but the dual front speakers make the switch a good move. The phone is slightly bigger than the g3, but I love it. Videos, browsing the web is so much better.

Bye Felicia!

Coming recently from the Moto X (2013 model):LG is beautiful, screen is much better.. But, on stock Android: it IS a bit slower than my Moto X was..
I wait for lollypop, hope it will solve the lag issue.

The G3 does have some lag. I even see lag on the lock screen when entering my PIN (sometimes). It's been this way since I bought the phone. Running stock rom with root, xposed, and g3 tweaksbox.
I tried the CM12 unofficial recently and it is a lot smoother than the lg rom. The only issue is that it literally eats the battery... once they get this sorted out and a stable release comes I will move over to CM on my G3.

Anyone tried "Lagfix" that enables Trim for LG G2?

Guys,
Anyone tried this app on LG G2 D802?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix&hl=en
This enables TRIM that supposed to come with Android 4.3 update and should help with Lag issues.
Some one tried?
can it harm the device?
Thanks!

I have bought the premium of this long ago, for my old/other devices.
Please read up on which kind of LAG it should help.
LG G2 is not lagging or rather when its lagging, its due to the throttling or something else.
TRIM won't help. Won't do anything for you. Kinda would like that the placebo effect goes away which some ppl experience on other devices. Not saying it might not help. But mostly it's really just placebo. Lets say 1 in 100 000 specific devices under specific circumstances it helps... and not LG G2 .
(Not yet)
Android is out for more years, lets say after 5 they introduce TRIM and now every device and every one needs it? Wanna tell me that every device was lagging the past years? < @op This was not for you, but for the defenders that will pop out saying that TRIM is the almighty savior of high end devices.
You do not need TRIM. (Again not yet)
I used it on my Nexus 7, prior to 4.3. Works good on some devices that have poor i/o over time. I doubt it makes a difference on the G2, we'll most likely have a 4.3 or higher rom with built in trim before you would see any issues with i/o lag.
I must say. Installed lagfix on g2, everything being indeed smoother and seems as much less sttutering and scroll lags.
well the fixes you seek are not really there, android itself laggs due to the way it is designed.

From my understanding of trim , you should still see a performance gain no matter what. This gain becomes more apparent as you use and fill your a device.

Are you referring to the lag and stuttering issue? I don't understand how trim wouldn't help a heavily used G2 on maintaining IO performance over time.

What I said and meant is that in 99 % cases TRIM is only a placebo.
And in case of LG G2 it's 99.99999% placebo.
Look 5 years phones were fine without TRIM. Now suddenly it's a magic cure?( For a problem that 99% of devices didn't have?)
Even Google knows it's not like that at all. If it was, don't worry there would be more advertising behind it.
Stop reading into the technical details of it. As I said not my first device. Bought the premium one long ago.
Real life usage different from paper.
When you could see some benefits of TRIM on LG G2 we will have Android 5.5

App requires a root, is there anything else we can try that does not require a root? If all else fail I will exchange the phone and I don't want to run into problem with a rooted device.
it's definitely faster. see the screenshots, the later one is obviously after applying the fix
running on rooted stock 4.2 on D802.

Possibly the Best Camera App for Android is now testing on Nexus 5

This has been released for all other nexus devices, as well as the other popular phones. It's in testing for the N5 now! I am stoked!
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57611881-94/it-wasnt-easy-but-camera-awesome-for-android-is-here/
It's not publically available for Nexus 5 yet though, so this thread feels premature. Cheers for the heads up, anyway.
Agreed, you got me excited with the title, but now I am mad because you jumped the gun. Should have added COMING SOON.

That app is free on iOS. Bummer, but understandable as to why they made it a paid app.
Still waiting on Focal myself
Haven't gotten an answer on this in the other places I've asked. There are two different UIs shown in the pics for the app, one looks like iOS and the other looks like it may be a tablet UI. Can anyone confirm if the latter is a tablet UI. If it becomes the phone UI too it looks pretty nice.

Yeah, I emailed them about it and that asked that I send them some pictures which I did. Hopefully they fix it.
is the Camera Awesome app really the best out there? The features look good but the reviews are terrible and not very many downloads...
anyone have real experience with it before I commit $3?
The interface on this app looks so cluttered. I wish someone would just blatantly copy the iOS 7 camera app instead of trying to make an app that has literally every feature but 30 on screen buttons. Just simplicity with necessary functionality. It shouldn't really be that hard.

[Q] Before getting a LG G2, I ask...

Hello People...
In a week I'm going to be able to get a LG G2 in my Mobile Company.
But, I want to ask all the Owners of this Great Phone, if there is the Same Problem with the Screen of the G2 with other LG Products.
Right now I own a Optimus 4X HD and 2 months after I got it, there was this kind of dust under the Screen. Actually it's not Dust but it seems like. Also, I've been reading the Nexus Forums and there is similar problems with the Screens.
I checked the G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and I nobody has complain about this Problem in the G2 so, I want to know if the G2 could have this problem.
I really like my 4X HD but I don't want to have the seme thing in my G2. This problem is the only thing that can change my mind in any second to get a S4 or a Moto X but I really like everything about the G2.
So, how you Screen in the G2??? Any dust under the Screen???
Not so far (had for about 1 month).
no issues so far.. been flashing roms after roms since 2months ago.. no complaint whatsoever for this great phone :good:
There is something under my screen. Doesn't look like dust.

Good to know that. Thank You.
I have been using my G2 since before it was officially available in T-Mobile stores (they didn't even have price tags for it)... September 21st actually is when I picked it up and there is absolutely nothing beneath my screen. Keep in mind that you can see the grid for the touch panel on this phone though. It is not usually visible when the screen is on, but definitely is in the light when it is off. I think it's kinda cool personally, but it is something I hadn't seen on other phones that I have owned.
This next part is not at all what you asked, but is something that I feel I should express to a potential buyer.
By the way, in all of this time I have yet to experience the phone getting hotter than 100F even with extensive gaming, and really have had no problems at all. The only thing I have found is that, if you download an app that has some issues, particularly if it accesses the internal storage, you will definitely feel it. I had the phone heat up on a couple of apps, but it about 3/4 of the way down the phone. I promptly uninstalled said apps and the temp immediately started to decline to normal operating temperature, or about 80F. I have had other apps that also access the storage, but do not bug out and the phone stays cool as would be expected.
I have used 4X, G Pro and now G2, never encounter dust problem. Understand from local forum that some owners of 4X and G Pro have dust problems and LG SC would clean the devices free of charge

[Got what i needed..thanks!]Looking for a helper for about a half hour.

Used to have a one plus one. I jump phones so I left. Hey...its what I do. What I am hoping for is to prove a point on why my one plus one got way better battery life then my G3 does. Virtually the same specs. Same carrier...same apps. Now. Here is where someone with a 1+1 comes in. Using this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iattilagy.usemon you can monitor the GPU usage if you scroll down a bit. Would prefer a relatively stock like setup. It doesn't even require root. Just run this app for about a half hour using no games or anything just oh idk. Texting, hangouts, Tapatalk, no gaming. I want to see what the GPU freq it runs at most often in that 30 min. Then snap a screen shot and PM or post it here.
Hopefully someone will help me out with this.

I can probably do it for you sometime after tomorrow, I'm currently running AK's kernel so I can't do it atm. Whenever I flash the next nighly I'll wait on flashing AK's kernel, and then I can do it for you as I don't use my phone too much during the week, if no one else has done it by Monday just PM me, and I'll do it for you.
Also, any particular reason you jumped to the G3?
EDIT: I run a very stock setup , running CM12 nightlies. No background apps like skype or whatever, either. Should be perfect for a comparison.

Perfect! Not really any particular reason besides same specs and slightly smaller bezel. Never figured the difference would be night and day. 1+1 wins in my book.
G3 battery life is horrid imho. I got 7-8hrs screen on almost daily. With he g3 only about 3 give or take. Got a 9000 mah battery now. Things a brick but I get 11-12 hrs screen on. Its sad. With this battery and my old 1+1 I'd feel comfortable in saying 20hrs screen on min probably 24

Yep the GPUs are working about the same. Has to be the screen it self that makes it such a hog whether it be the QHD since they both IPS displays.
Thanks for the help. I'll be watching for the 1+2 in the future. I had a very good 1+1 experience... Its far better then the G3 IMHO.

What are first opinions about....

latest update? Are everybody happy with it?
I like it a lot actually. Didn't really think an update to a phone as old as the Note 4 would have such an impact but the phone feels faster, and the new minor design changes are nice to me.
I've waited TWO months on stock 5.1.1 so that I can get a MM OTA!!! Loving every bit of it! Its amzing. I know every one loves/hate "Good Lock". I'm loving it. Latest update is much more improved.

MM is what Lollipop should have been. That's why so many people are looking for Note 4 with Kitkat until the MM release. I'm most likely gonna stay on Kitkat until I see more MM custom roms out. Kitkat is smooth and no battery drain.

5.1.1 is great. I see no need to not upgrade to that. It was 5.0.1/2 that was abysmal.

3 hrs SoT , i'm not happy atm.
I noticed it's bit snappier. Everything works. Overall, I really like the update. I did a full wipe after install. Only issues are, less than 4 hours SOT at around 35-40% brightness and it runs hot now. Not only that but it charges hot, which it never did before. Those are my only issues.

So far battery life is very good. About 5% battery left and 7 hours SOT with auto brightness.

Pretty happy so far. Quick, snappy, smoothe, all running good.
I upgraded via OTA and was having issues with random reboots. I did a hard wipe/reset and have had zero issues since. Does seem a little snappier. After wipe, loving it so far.
I bought an s7 edge on preorder. I gave it to my wife after we got shafted with lockdown. The s7 version of MM is nicer looking and more friendly as far as disabling apps. I can do it with root but I might as well go with a highly tweaked/properly debloated s7 port on dok2. My only reason to switch would be a better modem, but I see no difference in my area.
I had issues initially till I factory reset. Now all is good and my phone is much snappier, smoother, and less lag. I hated LP. Love MM!
