Most annoying feature

When the battery is running low it will not let me take pictures..... Camera starts and a warning pops up that the battery is too low... and no way around it.
Let me kill my battery if I want to!!! If feel like an iPhone user being told what I can or cannot do...

Same with the vibrant bout sure about the other ones...anyone know if the international version is the same?

Samething happens on the Captivate as well.

Have you guys tried any of the camera apps in the market? Do they stop you from taking pics with a low battery as well?

I agree. I can't stand that!
Yesterday my battery was low and I was trying to show a friend some of the cool features on the phone and I got a bunch of BATTERY IS LOW popups.
Come on now. Its able to load up graphic intensive games but can't take a picture if the battery is under 15%??
posted from a EPIC4G.

Samsung will let you play the intense graphic games until the battery dies, but god forbid you want to take a quick snapshot. Ill learn to live with it as I don't use cameras often, but this phone takes some decent pics.

K, so my day came. Gave up the evolution : -) for the Epic. I am for the overall part happy and yet still excited as I find more and more. One thing though, I tested quadrant and received a 914 then a 891 and I was like wtf? I guess this is cause of the lack of froyo?
I gather this must be, cause if you compare true and live performance vs the score, I'm zooming! I don't see where in God's name I could be running as sluggish as 891!

Ya gotta remember though, when the Evo had 2.1, it scored around 450 or 500 on Quadrant... so the Epic scoring double that is pretty damn good. The JIT from Froyo seems to boost up all the benchmarking speeds dramatically.

This is true. I am VERY happy for the most part. I am enjoying this screen so much even minus the .3 on the screen. The keyboard addition is so nice, I got so used to using virtual I forgot what pressing keys actually felt like, how acurrate it can be. Go to install v27 of gimpstas htc mod.
Oh and one more annoying thing, the damn camera 15% thing is SUPER whack!

YouTube now supports 1440P resolution for our gorgeous G3 screen

Just installed this apk from android police and type a search for 1440P videos. Go in the to settings for the video and switch the resolution and you'll now see an option for 1440P. Watched a video on it and it looked very detailed and crisp. Crystal clear. Enjoy!

You need to make sure that the youtube app version is on 5.9 if it is. On a video that supports 1440p/2k you need to click on the 3 dots top right of the video and then click on the cog. Should allow you to change it to 1440p

With the display and the sound on the G3 I could actually imagine watching a movie on it - which I've never bothered to do on any mobile before. It's absolutely GREAT!

thank you, this basically confirmed my suspicions there is zero different between 1440 and 1080 on this screen size at least between the G2 and G3 as I played both next to each other today and out of the 5 people in my house I asked, none of them could tell a different including me. I think im going back to 1080p with 540dpi as I didn't notice any difference between that or the 1440p w/ default DPI. Battery life was just improved enough that I liked it. Thanks for posting the new apk!

I was tempted to try the dpi modification but was a bit hesitant to. I was under the assumption most apps don't work properly and widgets on the home screen get cut off and just don't appear to look right. Maybe I'll try it. What do you guys recommend? Does it really make THAT much of a battery difference? How much more SOT do you get by making this modification?

Sorry for the late response was in a bourbon coma.
So as long as you don't go down below 530, you *SHOULD* have zero problems. I ran mine at 540, but I left it at 530 first to see as that was what most say is the "breaking" point for most apps while keeping them on screen. ALL "LG" themed apps I tried worked fine, contacts, phone, messaging etc. I run Buzz Launcher w/ Zooper, and the only issue I had was with Naxos Flat "Circle Clock w/ Weather and batt stats showing the circle background wrong. I am sure if I had removed this widget, then reconfigured it most likely would have worked.
As for the battery test, I dunno I "felt" the difference but since I didn't really use any formal testing before I sent back my sprint version I don't want to tell you it does or doesn't. It "appears" to me it makes a big difference as I am usually recharging after a single movie streaming over LAN w/ ES File Manager played with Archos Video Player. Now I can watch a couple of movies. That doesn't really satisfy my "scientific" mind and it shouldn't yours either. ;^)
I think though what I will do is just run a test tonight when I get home, then tomorrow put the phone back to 2k and default dpi and re-run those same exact tests. I'll take advice as I have never "tested" battery consumption on a smartphone before. I figured I would just do a few different tests of playing movies. I don't "game" on my phone but if you have an opinion on a good one to test with I could run that too. Any experience with battery tester from Antutu, I am going to check that out also.

You won't too much of a battery difference because the display is still pushing that many pixels no matter what resolution you set. You'll likely see some performance improvements but that's probably it.

Can you cite a source please I want to read it and see how they explain that, because this statement makes zero sense to me. Regardless if the panel is still pushing the native amount of pixels the amount of energy(power) needed to power the panel lowers. You can view this by the heat generated on your CPU/GPU using different resolutions as the device may still use the default panel the smaller "image" size even with required scaling will still use less power then a full size image at native. Same goes with CPU.

I've read them none of them cite sources either, its all people talking conjecture. I'll do some actual testing and post results here. For example a lot of people are saying "From my past experience", that usually equals "I haven't tested it, but take my word for it". Maybe the results will surprise me and show there is minimal battery life change, but I doubt it
EDIT: So I played around with the AnTuTu test suite's battery tester. Seems legit enough that it should give us a good baseline set of results to compare. I put my phone back to default right now and I am charging it to 100%, then Ill run the test. Should take a couple hours at least. Then I'll switch back to 1080/540dpi and do the same battery test with a full charge again and see what the results are. Probably won't be done until tomorrow morning my time but if they get done sooner (Pacific timezone) ill post them up here.
I'm half tempted to restore factory to do this testing to make it even more a set of baseline results that most VZW users can guess they will have. Right now though im running Greenify Paid w/ Xposed plugins and other things etc. Really wish we had unlocked bootloader so I could just back my stuff up but alas, I find QA/Testing fun so I dunno, I might, might not reset.

FASTER 6P at Best Buy? Can it really be?

In total, my family of four has four 6Ps.
Yesterday browsing through best buy, I got the golden Nexus 6P in my hands to play with, and gosh, it felt twice as fast and snappier. I proceed to put my phone down and test it app by app at the same time, like the speed test videos on youtube, and I am jealous... it was SOOOOO much faster. I wish I had another phone to record it. Drawer opening was 3 times as fast. Opening the store, google search, brownser, it was close to twice as fast.
Then I proceeded to test the other 6Ps at home... and they were just like mine.
Very intrigued, I thought... well... my phone is full... so let me hard reset it...
Still, not even close to what I experienced at the store. Could it be that these phones at best buy are overcloked or not underclocked? It was a BIG difference!
All my phones were purchased from google... have anyone experienced this?
Thanks!

I'm actually a lead manager for Best Buy Mobile and I can tell you that the 6Ps we have out on display are the exact same 6Ps that you would get from the Google Store. However, they do have an application loaded on them that keeps the device awake. This application also keeps the CPU running at close to max speed which is why it feels so much faster than a 6P running stock.

While it does make the phone run a lot faster it is essentially the same as going into a kernel management app and setting your minimum CPU frequency a lot higher than normal. If these phones weren't plugged in they would most definitely be dead within an hour. [emoji1]

For flashing demo content and apks for demo, make a batch script then just take a laptop round and adb install onto it. Saves time.
Sony used to have one built in, can't for the life of me remember what it is, on the dialer, its a number then the same number backwards.

ROFL... Ahhh best post I read on a while. Good laugh, thanks!

I hate going to look at phones, and EVERY single one has serious screen burn in! Makes the device look like crap, and gives it a cheap feeling. Shouldn't have them with their screens always on. It might look flashy from a sales perspective, but to a customer it's actually a turnoff.

Frame Drops like hell

Can anyone please report if they are seeing lots of crazy frame drops on this phone? I'm running rooted Xxx No Limits, but have observed the same on Elemental OS too. When you turn on 'Profile GPU Rendering' in the Developer Settings to 'On screen bars', I see a crazy amount of frame drops every where. I bought this phone because it is suppose to offer the best smoothness and performance rivaling only the Pixel, specially after the fantastic 3T. Attached are some images showing the frame drops on even mundane tasks like scrolling Settings menu. Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
I use Action Launcher, but can anyone report if they see this on their stock launcher or other launchers?
PS: The phone 'seems' smooth and fast when doing these tasks. It doesn't seem to slow down and drop frames like crazy like an S8 or G6, which can be seen with the naked eye. It's only when I turn on GPU profiling that I can detect these frame drops. Is the GPU profiling reporting 'broken' and incorrectly reporting lots of frame drops? I'm confused.

Hey, I just checked and I got the exact same results, maybe even a bit more drops than you do. I'm using the stock launcher. Phone is absolutely smooth aside from that. I'm not sure, but this may be in correspondence with the jelly-scrolling issue? I'm not sure if I'm affected though, if yes, the jelly effect is minimal.
Are you affected by the jelly scrolling?

I don't see the jelly scrolling effect on my phone. I'm not sure if this frame drop issue and the jelly scrolling effect are related. Its interesting to know that you see a lot more frame drops in the rendering.

i agreed with you, for this phone having the latest 835 which is suppose to give a straight line of performance (no frame drops) yet i see a lot of those

what the hell is going on with this phone ...

i dont know if its the phone or the softwere but im so returning, the only reason i bought was because of the 835 and because its was the latest and will give you continues performance, its all a lie

Probably because the screen is upside down!

Just tested on a Galaxy S8 and that graph looks even worst!!!!
What's happening?!?! Snap 835 is the culprit?
But I've seen a review with the HTC U11 and it doesn't do this.

Yeah mine is far from smooth as well, dunno,it just does not scroll smooth, my Nexus 5 on MIUI is soooo much smoother, way less frame drops.. I suppose theissue will vanish with the right ROM / Optmization, perhaps changing to a different CPU governor could help already..

Is this really a big deal if you can't see it until you run this log that shows you its happening?

Its like the Jelly scrolling thing. I bet 85% of the people *****ing about it haven't even held a OP5. I watched those videos and then paid close attention to my 6P, guess what? It does the same damn thing!
About the only real issues I have seen are the WiFi and autobrightness issues, and camera performance. The WiFi seems to have been fixed and the camera could and most likely will be improved... I hope.
And from what I have seen out of the camera isn't bad, but it is very average for a phone bought 2 years ago. I just believe the hardware is much more capable of better results.

I'm right there with you brother.. The auto brightness has been a "real" issue for me. I have not had the jelly thing but then again I didn't go looking for it. The camera? Well I took what I though were some really nice looking photos over the 4th.

Thank god I am not the only one, reading through some of the threads I am starting to feel like I am the crazy here. People are like "The phone is smooth but this tool is showing frame drops, **** Oneplus, I am returning this phone."

So they will return a 500€ flagship which runs smooth and they dont notice lags without a tool? They expect that the CPU is the cause of frame drops?
Seriously, this must be a joke. Its just looking for a problem when you dont have one.
I do notice the jelly scrolling, but its minimal, so its kinda cool, like a subtle animation.
Camera could be better but nobody can say its bad, they just overhyped it and didn't meet expectation.
Battery life is like out of this world, I got 8h of SoT, good luck on other phones with that.
No other issues were encountered in the meantime. Perfect phone.

I get drops with the launcher, inc app drawer but it's not significant. I'm currently using a custom kernel as well.
Here's Chrome:

The screenshot you have posted doesn't show any frame drops. Can you let e know what kernel you are using?

Here are my rom and kernel details. No governor settings changes etc, I'm just using the kernel out-the-box.

How's the overall performance?

hi guys I'm getting the g6 870 unlocked for 260$. I just wanted to confirm if it's worth it? does it lag? How's the camera performance and most importantly is that how's the battery life? Is it as bad as LG g5? Please tell me no! I'm using Xperia x currently and it gives me like 5-6 hours sot. how's the speed n battery of g6? Thanks

The performance on mine for the first day was pretty rough as I think everything getting set up and downloaded had an affect on performance. Also, the carrier chose to set it and move files from my iPhone which pissed me off a bit. I haven't gotten around to setting it up new but I will say now about 48 hours into it, it's running a lot better. I think I will actually factory reset and set it up as new though at some point.
You're not going to get the smoothest phone compared to something like a Pixel but it's a great phone for the value. I got mine at $150 so you can't beat that. On Wifi you can easily get 5-6 hours SOT. On 4g probably an hour less.
A couple things I'd recommend:
- Download Gcam - much better pictures and Portrait mode
- Download Nova Launcher and turn that **** into a Pixel!

After few minor updates it does not lag at all. Battery is good when comes to Wifi , but on LTE network it performs poorly.Bluetooth is also bugged. I hope we will finally recieve Oreo and that may solve all existing problems and make LG great again.

It's the other model but it's through Cellcom, a local carrier in Wisconsin. They had a special deal!

You won't be getting anywhere close to decent performance in any graphically-intense game on this phone without messing around with Game Battery Saver and ADB. Everything else is pretty snappy to me.

I do think I may need to look at a fresh restore. I'm pissed that the guy in the store used the mobile switch. I'm just too lazy to do it. The phone is working pretty well but there's been a slight lag here and there that I think I could eliminate if I started things over.

Don't do it!!!
