I was wondering what features people have found missing from the T-Mobile LG G3 that they had previously on the LG G2 or that they have seen on other carrier versions of the LG G3.
What I've noticed that I really really miss, is the "Wireless Transfer".. That was so awesome being able to put files on my wives phone without having to plug in her phone... Also was super fast over wireless N! I hope they bring that back.
The 3d audio recording or whatever that was... I don't miss it cause it didn't work all that great and put lots of holes in your phone for liquids to get inside.. But non-the-less, it's gone.
I've read that on the AT&T variant of the LG G3 that you can not only set custom ringtones for each person in your contacts but you can also set custom notifications.. People on the LG forums were saying they really want that feature back.
Maybe some of you out there have noticed other things missing that you loved about your LG G2, and maybe LG will read this and put things back in that we loved to use.
My girlfriend's AT&T phone is able to have swipe unlock appear before her screen's secure unlock does which I wish mine could do that way my screen still has a lock screen when turning on even if the delayed secure lock hasn't kicked in.

I can set custom ringtones for each person on my T-Mobile version. I don't see anything about custom notifications, other than custom LED notifications.

I have a question, well.. Not one, but a lot of ones.
I have been seeing on XDA Forum topics about LG Optimus G Intl E975. Random people have said that they were doing something and then the phone turned off and never turned on again. It is kind of a hardbrick. Maybe not a lot of people tho. What are the chances of that? That's something that is bothering me about rooting and unlocking the bootloader then installing CM11 or any other custom roms. Right now I am on stock 4.1.2 on my LG Optimus G E975. I have had a bad experience in the past with hardbricking, and I am trying to be more careful now. But what are the chances of that? I mean, if I root right now and unlock the bootloader using Freegee and flashing CM11? If I do everything correct, should I worry about something? The only bugs that would really affect me is if apps force closes, stuttering or lag when in the UI and music lag in the background, in the past i've been through that, I was playing some music, then I went to another app, lets say Facebook and the music lagged or skipped. What else.. Buggy buttons or unresponsive touch screen, but that's it. And connection? Wifi, GSM, bluetooth, MHL or NFC? I barely use MHL and NFC, but still it's better to have them than not. That it, thank you for your time!
I recently purchased the G3 in the uk so its the D855 version and i updated the software to 10g and today i noticed something weird after i put it in my pocket and i was driving , it heats up. First i thought its because of the knock code but after i switch it to swipe it still heats up. I keep it in my pocket with the screen closest to my skin. I will try to keep it with the screen up and see what happens...probably its because of the sensors if u apply slight presure to the screen while in pocket somethings happens...im waiting for your replies....tnx
It heats up especially on the higher part more than the bottom
LG G3 D855 stock ,no root

3845#*855#
Ok tnx ill try

Anyone?

uhm one thing i can think of is what usually happens with me.
i'm using quickcircle case.
screen accidentally turns on, then again accidentally opens camera.
and that stays on.
i noticed that because i had many blank camera shots on my gallery. hehe
the worst was when i installed the torch app that can be included in quickcircle apps, it accidentally opened and the LED flash was on all the time in my pocket.
maybe LG should find a way to improve on how to prevent accidentally opening apps when in pocket with or without quickcircle case.
and maybe program the camera app to put itself in standby when it's not in use for certain seconds or minute.
Disable the knock on/off like what suljo said. The phone does sometimes turn on when in your pocket, especially when it could sense your touch due to moisture built up on the lining of your pockets.
I understand but this is not cool at all cause i really like this feature. I paid 450 british pounds on it and it shouldnt do that

It may be the Knock Code but I wouldn't think that alone would have your phone heating up so much in your pocket.. Maybe but idk
What else do you have running on your phone? For example like do you have things like OK Google running and Google Search, Location, Sync, WiFi Always Scanning turned On?? Could also be a WakeLock.. Maybe use a WakeLock Detector just to make sure.
I'm not discounting the Knock Code idea, although my phone doesn't heat up like this. There may be more going on that's all

the knock on/off feature gets activated in your pocket there are 2 ways to solve this
1)kernel wise (proximity sensor preventing knock on in your pocket)
2) covering your screen before putting it in your pocket (turning it away from your leg might help also)
You could also use the app AnyCut and create a Shortcut on your home screen that you'd just Toggle the Knock On Feature on and off. It's very easy to do and one way to quickly disable the feature for those times when that may happen but still having a very easy way to turn it back on too.

Though... I do realize that for those using Knock Code from Lock screen.... That isn't an option... I don't use Knock Code myself

When I'm on a call on my G3 there's an annoying popup that hovers in the upper-left corner that shows the call duration. The issue is that I already know I'm on a god damned call, and that pop-up renders my phone fairly useless. I cannot send a text for example since it covers most of the Recipient field. And I have some apps that have a menu in that area and they are completely useless. Any ideas? I do a lot of conference calls and it's very frustrating, enough that Ill probably ditch the phone if I cannot fix it. Is this a LG UI thing?

You can use G3 TweaksBox to get rid of it.

Looks like that needs root and everyone's complaining about instability in it...

Yes it needs root. I'm a happy root user, I don't see how root could generate instability, maybe things you could do with root access could do not the root itself
Thanks for the info. I guess philosophically I should not have to root a brand new $600 phone because some moron at LG thought this was a useful feature. As soon as the next Nexus is out, I'm bailing.

Well, i don't know where you live, here if you root your device you won't loose warranty(only LG has this policy though)

I don't know if you know about this already, but I do know on the D851 T-Mobile version, when that small pop up is on the screen (such as after you press the Home button while on a call), you can press and drag it to wherever you want on the screen, out of the way of its current placement.
I'm not sure if you can do this on other variants or not, but it's worth a try.
This is my only complaint with my G3. Wish someone had a fix for lollipop. Can't stand that little pop up that won't go away.
It's a goddamn full screen notification. How do I disable it?
I know the phone will recharge slower with my SlimArmor case, thank you.
Install G3 Tweakbox. It has the options in there.

I could swear I had this option enabled, and it wasn't working. Enabled, rebooted and it seems it disabled it. Thank you
This is the one issue that is stopping me from upgrading to Lollipop, as the only way I know how is with Xposed framework and G3 Tweakbox - have you found another way now you've gone to Lollipop?
Unfortunately no. I even stopped using the wireless charger.. It sucks really.
They said it could be done with the new apk tool, and it has been released some days ago. Didn't ask any dev to look after this for me, but it may be possible now

Hello to all
I have a G3 D852 (and before I had G2, 2X). I have a question. My phone is locked with Knock Code. During calls (incoming or outgoing) screen keeps unlocked. That means that someone that uses the phone to make a call or if I oass the phone to somekne to speak, will have access to everything.
I had the same issue with all LG models using Stock Based ROMS.
Right now I'm using Cloudy Lollipop. This was an issue for me since 2.3 Gingerbread with Optimus 2X. I have used every way of screen lock security (pin, password, pattern) but result is the same, phone is unlocked during calls.
Any solution? Am I missing something? I went through all settings but haven't found anything.
Thanks in advance
John
