Maybe LG can`t or doesn`t cheat as good as HTC or Samsung with benchmark tests Lag is most of the time user app related by apps/widgets running in the background and slowing down the cpu.

I thought the device was pulling 23k in this test i think ill have to try a reset :/ dnt have much installed either

Either you got a defective phone or the G3 is a joke.

Ive worked out the problem its the extreme underclocking lg has done when the phone gets hot. Seems too extreme to me kinda put me off abit :/

Keep dreaming. Samsung will never give up the S-LAG function (It's there since the original SGS and still there in the SGS5)

I was pretty fed up with the lag on the S5 and now I'm pretty Fed up with the lag on my G3 Damn Koreans, can't you learn a page out of HTC, Motorola's or Nexus book.

I don't get it either how can they release flag ship devices with UI lag or any lag. I guess it's our fault buying it...
Anyway, I still have a faith in LG. They will fix it or ART default in the next Android release will eliminate it (Hopefully. Other brands have much worse cons with their products).

True.
This and the QHD display are the problem.
I think it will still lag in the future due to this two details.

Galaxy S5 Lags a lot more, so it must really overheat and have a QHD display also I guess.....

Maybe a custom kernel could fix this once they start to become available.

The difference is almost like night and day for some phones. My nexus 7 ran even better with different kernels.

You can also control the colors, sharpness and brightness with custom kernels. I hope that the G3 will have big developers community so we will see some brilliant coding.

I did a reset and it seems a bit better I just hope it will get some Fix's as the phone it self is amazing

Same here. Rather love the hardware, it's just the software that's lacking.

And I had a S5 that I used for a while before trading it for a M8. (Had the S2, S3 and S4 also , so not a samsung hater. But touchwiz has always lagged.)
Of course after rooting, debloating,ect. the phone runs fine. But were discussing stock here.
If your running stock touchwiz and not having lag, your the only person I know who has gotten that lucky.

Switching to ART improves performance?

Alright, so I was really unimpressed with the performance of the G3. Laggy and not very smooth. So, I decided to give ART a try and switched. Now everything runs super smoothly, like I would expect from a device I paid 600 € for. Can anyone confirm this?

Yeah, sure. However, I didn't get any improvements on the Nexus 4, so I wasn't really optimistic about it. Just wanted to share. I'll check improvements on battery life tomorrow.

I noticed it was a bit smoother . but I found rooting and freezing unused bloatware has made a better improvement however I am not on art at the mo so maybe it will improve even more if I changed it again. I expect this device to be on par with my previous htc one m8 if not better and I still think its just under on performance for the ui I hope it improves as I love everything about this phone its design is fantastic and that's come from a full metal m8

That's a weird "upgrade" the m8 is a fine device.

I'm a apple fan to I buy most flagship devices. Htc one m8 had speaker faults then had screen problems. I gave up with that so quickly but I would say it was mega quick tho to use and the CPU is clocked under the g3 cpu. So I wouldn't say a upgrade

Some of us find the M8 a poor excuse for a flagship device. So many ****ty design choices, the foremost one being the useless speakers that just add device bulk and use up real estate without adding any useful functionality. The killer for me was the placement of the black band with the HTC logo. I was always pressing it expecting it to do something. At least they could have put it on top of the screen where it would not have interfered with the user experience as much.

I thought the design could of been better it just felt to long. Good materials used I thought tho. But saying that I love the plastic on the g3 in my opinion it feels the best built flagship device at the moment. S5 is just awfull I personally think the banding around that is so dam cheap

I applied ART last night and I concur with OP. It a heck lost smoother esp between transitions.
Previously there was an annoying nanosecond delay when switching apps or waiting for my SwiftKey to appear, now it's gone.
Also the response of an app opening is almost instant too.
Give it a try guys... I'm not looking back now

Apart from losing the option to use Xposed, there aren't any downsides. Just remember that when you switch over, it can take 10-20 minutes for all the apps to load at boot. Make sure you have time to do this. You won't have to reset your phone but it will take a while before it's useable.

The only thing I noticed is that the Amazon DE app isn't compatible with my device anymore. However, the perfomance increase is worth it big time.

So far my apps haven't crashed. Regardless as some have mentioned, the performance increase is worth it.
As time goes also, apps will become more compatible with ART esp with Android L ard the corner

Question!!!!!!

Hey xda family, i currently have a samsung galaxy s4. Im been very intrigued on the lg g3. I am here to ask all of you for your personal feelings towards the g3. How is the phone from a developement stand point aswell as everyday driver? Your comments will help me decide if i should upgrade to it. Thank you in advance for any input you can offer.

Since it looks like you're currently on T-Mobile, you should see a lot of development for the G3. The bootloader comes factory unlocked for your variant.
I came from a Galaxy S3, and I couldn't be happier. The battery lasts all day for me, screen is bright and beautiful, everything runs fast and smooth. I'm very satisfied.

Does the color difference ever bug you? Going from amoled to the type of screen lg g3 has scares me alittle, i know it has the highest ppi of all phones, im just worried that the sharper colors will look slightly dull with the g3. Im at the point where ive had every galaxy thats come out and the interface is starting to bug me. Samsung hasnt changed anything about it. Im liking the g3's interface, and it seems really smooth with transitioning.

I've had every Galaxy since the S3 and recently switched from the S5 and S5 Active. The screen does take some adjusting as LCD looks a lot different than AMOLED, but it has been an easy adjustment for me. I tend to like the look of an LCD screen better than AMOLED anyway. I would suggest messing around with a display model for about 20-30 minutes (or a friend's if they have one) before making a decision. See how your eyes like and and if you feel it will be an easy transition.

I came from an S4 as well. I was very impressed with the S4 battery life and the overall feel (after I debloated and installed nova launcher). But the G3 blows it out the water. If I'm on WiFi all day I can get 22+ hours off the charger with 6.5+ hours of screen on time (still having about 15% left after all of this). Not being on WiFi I get 16-18 hours off charger with about 5+ hours screen on time. Now I debloated (heavily don't have any of the lg extras that coke with the phone. Not even the launcher) I also use trickster to lower my max cpu and gpu (I don't game on my phone so don't need all that power) I also completely killed carrier iq (this helped battery a lot). Now I saw you mentioned something about the screen colors. It looks like the kernel that comes on here allows for customization of colors but it might be too messy trying to go that route since it only allows for the rgb spectrum of adjustments. If you want bright vivid colors like on an amoled I'd ways for development to kick off and get a kernel similar to the one they had on the optimus G that allowed for gamma and gradient adjustments. But other than that. It's an awesome phone

Thanks for your input. I took my wife to tmobile 2 days ago and she upgraded to the g3. I must say i impressed with some of the features. Since you are rooted and running a debloated version, is it reversible back to stock without leaving any tripped counters of any type? I wanna root my s4 so bad but i know i will trip the knox bootloader when i add custom recovery. Im wondering if the g3 has anything like that? I dont think it does since the bootloader is unlocked.

It is fully reversable. But there is a root for g3 that doesn't trip the counter, it's called purple drake. Also you can used towelroot to root s4 and it will not trip counter or knox. Just go to towelroot.com from your phone (using chrome or built in browser)and download it.

[Q] High temperature - phone switch off

Hi,
is's possible switch off this feature (High temperature - phone switch off)? Or set value to higher temperature? LG G3 D855 (Andoid 5.0 official)
Petr

There is a mod which changes the values of when the phone thermal throttles to like 80C but not sure i recommend using this if your phone is getting that hot that it turns off are you sure there isnt a hardware defect or i reason its getting so hot

It's possible use with android 5.0 stock rom?

I think it is worth, but really depends on the use.
The G3 has the best ratio screen/body/specs/price in the market.
I don't have many issues with heating but it it's true that i.e. certain cases the phone gets hot
