I just switched to Nova Launcher and I noticed that sometimes my phone won't ring. I did tests with my work iPhone and some times the phone rang right away, sometimes it took 7-8 rings on the iPhone before my G3 rang and sometimes it didn't ring at all. I switched back to the stock launcher and the G3 always rang on the 2nd or 3rd ring and rang every time. I repeated this test with Apex Launch and it did the same thing as Nova. Does anyone know why this is? I love how smooth Nova Launcher is but I can't afford to miss important calls.
This is the first I've heard of this. Unfortunately I can't test right now but I will be able to tomorrow. I've already disabled most of the LG apps, including the stock launcher - replaced with Nova. So we'll see what happens when I get a sim in it tomorrow.

Hi guys, I helped my friend S-Off, root, and install Cyanogen on his G2. It hasn't been flawless though. His launcher has been reacting really strangely. Sometimes when he slides to unlock, the launcher doesn't load, and the screen is blank. He can hold down home to go to the multitask manager thing, but that's it. He went to his stock backup, and it didn't work there either. Does anybody know what might be causing this? This is the biggest problem he's suffering from.
Other problems:
Battery life a little less then a day
Texts from verizon >160 characters appear as blank texts
unable to change led color in handcent
If you could help, that'd be great. Thanks!
I am already starting to get full homescreen redraws more and more often all of a sudden when going back to the homescreen from an app. This is reminiscent of the same issue on all previous Android OSs and I loathe it. This also was known to happen often on LauncherPro and ADW, although I am on the stock 4.0 launcher here.
Yes, on the Nexus it recovers more quickly, but it still slows you down for a couple of seconds and looks stupid doing it.
Is anyone else who has widgets on most screens starting to experience complete redraws and have to wait a few seconds for it to recover back up to speed?? I already tried the Terminal command to save the homescreen in memory but it is still happening the same.. It's starting to happen more and more frequently.
EDIT: Ok now it's literally refreshing/redrawing the homescreen icons and widgets every single time I go into any app and hit back or home. Every time. I thought I was done with this crap on this new OS but apparently not at all. How can this be happening and all of a sudden non-stop?
Rebooted and removed the one new widget I had added today, and still, the homescreens have to re-draw before my eyes every single time I go back to them from anywhere else on the phone. WHAT THE ****.

OK, I almost had a heart attack that the phone was going to keep doing this now, but I just figured out why. I was showing my friend the phone and the options in Developer options, and I must have accidently turned on "Don't Keep Activities"...that's why Launcher would terminate every time I left it!! It closes each app when you leave it.
So make sure if this is every happening to you, you check that option!!
Sorry to sound so paranoid guys
OGP was getting laggy so I restored to factory stock. I was surprised though that the phone remained rooted, which I guess is good. I then installed FreeGee and went with CWM, same as it was before the restore.
Now, a few weeks later, I'm having some issues with the keyboard and the Home screen wallpaper. About once or twice a day (on most days), for some unknown reason, my keyboard will revert to the Android keyboard (AOSP) from the LG keyboard that I have it set to. When I "correct" it to the LG keyboard, sometimes the "Extended keyboard" option is checked and other times it's not (I always leave the extended keyboard checked). I also will occasionally get a notification on the pull-down that I need to select a keyboard.
The other issue is that the Home screen wallpaper also seems to change itself back to the default blueberry paper. This only happens on the home screen, and it does not affect the lock screen wallpaper. The wallpaper issue seems to happen at different times than the keyboard issue.
I've also had the phone reboot itself once or twice since the restore...both times while in its holster. Only reason I know this is that I hear the AT&T boot music playing in the background. Upon viewing the phone, it's verified that it is in fact rebooting.
Anyone else having these issues, or know the cause?

Guess nobody else is having this issue.
The spontaneous rebooting has stopped, as has the "extended keyboard" issue.
What remains is the wallpaper and default keyboard changing issues. They both change at the same time now, about once a week.
What I was able to nail down is that this happens after every time titanium backup (free version) does its weekly thing. I have no idea what setting(s) I may have enabled to cause this. Anyone have an idea they can help out with?
I have the exact same problem with my home screen wallpaper changing. Ive had my optimus since about july and the first time it did it was like 2 weeks after i got the device. Kept doing it even tho i would change it back and not do anything with it regarding the screen. Wasnt sure what to make of it but whatever. It didnt do it again until yesterday (24th) and it wouldnt stop. Had to change my screen back like 5 times, and i just woke up a little bit ago and it was different again. The phone was just laying there. Didnt touch it so i have no clue. Ive tried going thru the settings to see if maybe i had checked something or whatever and im pretty sure i didnt. Only thing i can think of is that is just a glitch with the phone. I like the phone too much so thats not enough to get me to wanna get rid of it.

Are you running Titanium Backup?
If all else fails, you can always restore to stock and reinstall your apps and other items. Then maybe you will be able to determine what is causing the issue.
OK, so now that I have lollipop, I have noticed a few things are broken and I am wondering what other problems others are having and what we can collectively do to try and fix them.
If I tilt and say "OK Google" and "Show me my heartrate" I get a momentary black screen and then back to the watch face. Happens with both Fit and the Moto app
I noticed it happens more when I have a partial notification card showing. If I clear the notification and turn the screen back on it will usually work right.
Also, downloaded the update while on the charger then ran the update with 100% battery, now three hours later I'm down to 34%. Yikes. I've had the watch for only a couple days so I'll give it more time to settle in.

FWIW whenever i run updates i lose an easy 15%+. all of that on-screen time and processing shows the inefficiencies of the processor. i generally try to re-charge it after any update.
additionally its been reported several times to perform a factory reset on the watch after any update. i haven't performed one yet myself, but by battery life has been on-par with before.
lollipop
Do you have lollipop on your phone? I notice that when i got lollipop on my 360 the battery went down pretty quick! I had the 360 connected with my M7 on kitkat! Now i have my 360 connected with my Nexus 6 and its working ok!

Anyone have problems with the unlock your phone feature using a different launcher like nova. I have mine paired to my nexus 6 and it works great on Google launcher but only about a third of the time on nova, thanks
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
1. I like to text myself when I need to take a note. For me it is very quick. But with the G4 when I text myself it keeps going on and on. Once I stopped it via force stopping Messages. Another time by restarting.
2. I am getting a pop up for a text when the screen is on lock screen, but can I get the full message to pop up or at least more of the message than the I get.
And shouldn't it. awaken the screen. When the screen is off I just hear the sound.
3. Is there a way to get "ok Google" to work when the screen is off. If I recall call correctly it used to on phones until Lollipop, correct
My friends S6 edge woke up when I sent him a message fwiw
Custom launchers can do the "ok Google" not sure when the screen was off. May need a custom kernel. I know if you go into Google and do a specific search, you can turn it on.
No problems texting either. Maybe factory reset
Player911 Thanks immensely for even getting back to me. I may have a lot of posts and be a senior, but I am quite a novice. I don't root or handle kernals. But really, your response means a lot
Let me explain what I THINK you said:
Custom Launchers can do "ok google" from a turned off screen. (I use Nova and Apex occasionally. Now using Nova. So I assume that it won't work on Nova?) (do you use a launcher where Ok Google works from a screen not on?)
as far as texting, you are able to text YOURSELF a message and it comes thru once and doesn't keep sending/running?
I had a G4 then switched to a M9 and now this G4. The M9 didn't cut it. But in each case, when I got the phone before doing anything, and this one, before doing anything I tried it and it did the same thing??
I can't wait to hear your answer about texting yourself because I just spoke to a guy at Tmo who did the same things I did, and a couple more and basically he said it's not the network (LG Said it was), it's not my specific phone, so he is sending a ticket up and will get back to me next Mon
Player911 fwiw, I did get find that Ok Google will work with the screen off, but only when plugged in??? Not sure what that means. Im sure you have a better idea than I. Thanks again
