I'm more than happy with this phone. I'm not getting very good battery life, and can't last a day, but I'm not too concerned because I'm sure tweaks will be found to increase battery life and a bigger battery will probably be available at some stage.

i would like to see how desire hd will get bigger battery life if it goes inside the phone hardware unlike the HD2 with its own cover.
Battery life is not a problem nowadays with any device. Just get a couple of $5 batteries from hongkong (eBay) with a charger. Keep a full charged battery in your pocket and you will see that you don't give a d*mn about how fast or slow the device is draining the battery.
YES!! Got everything I need!

I still can't make up my mind on my DHD, afew things bother me about it, the battery life, the sound, and the weight of it. Im thinking about changing it for a iPhone 4 as I've had my heart set on one for awhile now.

Battery is better then I expected but dies fast under heavy load. the text input can be laggy and difficult due to the extremely sensitive screen, just need to be near it for it to sense an input! With there being so little boarder round edge of the phone it often thinks I'm trying to do something else when I'm just trying to hold it in my big hands :S annoying when trying to type!!!!!!
The camera is a massive step up from my TP2. Haven't tried video in daylight yet, got the DHD and went straight to a wedding.

Im totally the other way, typing is a joy, no lag at all, never touched something I didn't want to while holding it.
The camera and video are almost unusable indoors, going from light to dark, very bad, not to bad outside but still this is the biggest problem with this phone, Im hoping this can be sorted out.
All in all very pleased with it but Ill be upgrading to HTC next phone next year probably....if its any good haha
Again no one mentions the camera and video going from light to dark, very bad, I thought this would be the number 1 complaint.

I guess it depends what you want to use it for. I have a digital slr for photos, am happy with something that takes adequate spur of the moment pics.
I've never understood taking videos, just not my thing, even dating back to when camcorders first came out. I recently had to sit thru a video of a friends 40th. They were sitting there laughing away and I was thinking to myself 'i was there, I know all this already!'.

Having just moved from a jailbroken iPhone, if you want to customise your phone in anyway I would highly discourage anyone from the iPhone. The iPhone is a great piece of kit as long as you use it the way apple intended and no other.
Android and HTC are so much more flexible and cusomisable
Hi I've had my DHD for about 4 days and I'm happy. The battery doesn't last more than a day but I'm playing around more than I normally would so sort of expecting it.
The screen is really good and as far as pictures and videos go, they are as good as I would expect from camera phone. To expect more would be silly I feel, like one of the other posts said there are dedicated cameras if you want really good pictures.
The software could maybe do with some tweaks but I'm sure with updates they will come.
Cheers muzzy

What's Problem also with Sound?
Happy
Battery life is on a par with my previous 3 devices!! Why are people going on about this. Give the phone at least a week for a few recharges to condition the battery and you will get a day's use out of it under normal use. I keep the charger by my bed and it's all set to go the next day.
My only gripe is the external speaker. Otherwise very happy
So I recently purchased a bargain priced g pad here in the UK. I am currently an Ipad air owner(boooo) but wanted to get an Android tablet and this seemed like my best option. But I have to say that I am really disappointed as it it laggy as hell and the battery life is pretty poor.
Is this normal or am I the proud owner of a dud? The lag occurs in stock launcher and apex. It also happens in browsers, namely chrome, Uc and dolphin. It even lags when browsing threads on tapatalk.
I have factory reset it and no joy. I am outside the 7 day return period and so kind of need to fix the issue if poss.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be given

I find my g pad smooth as well and no issues. Very happy with speed. Now my galaxy s3 phone, that is laggy and looking forward to next upgrade
Im pretty surprised with how much people are getting lags.. even with stck unrooted out of the box i dont get these lags.. although i knew it can perform better.. for the people with lags try rooting and installing the malladus custom rom.. suped up stock rom with most of the lg software in tact..... as stated in that forum the way the stock rom should run.......... much smoother when running anything and everything...... try it out..
Ran pretty smooth stock

I've also observed some stuttering while using my V500 (especially scrolling webpages).
The best way to test this is to choose image from gallery, zoom in and drag it around furiously
Sometimes its smooth and works as supposed to, but most of the times after a second or two it stops responding to finger movements.
No idea what to do. I like LG stock rom, but this is a deal-breaker for me
I have experienced really bad lag playing jetpack joyride. Anyone else experience this? Running stock.

add the task manager widget, how much Free RAM is there when it lags?
I'm usually at 600-730 free RAM and the only time it lags is when closing out a game and quickly launching email or Chrome app from home screen.

Is there any other app that lets one fix the black levels? The G Pad without any fixing of the black levels isn't that great for watching shows, movies or playing games where details often can be found in the darker areas. And trading better black levels for more lag (or having to use the Performance governor isn't great). I even noticed watching shows with Screen Adjuster made the FPS a bit jittery (like it's missing frames here and there).

That is not a lag, that is either defective digitiser or drivers within software. Ive got exactly the same issue on mine, suddenly it just stops responding when dragging my finger across the screen like it was not touched.

New one is definitely working better, however it still feels like it misses touches every once in a while. That could be a software issue though, it was with my Nexus 7 2013.

I just had digitizer replaced by LG service center. New one works great, no problems at all. So it was a hardware issue after all, like michal_alton suggested.
I've had m9 for a week now and at first thought it was great but as the week has gone on I've notice the performance of the phone been a bit lacking, so I benchmark the phone, and to my shock the performance was a joke on the benchmarks ( I know benchmarks or not the world)
I all so own Sony xperia z ultra, I all so benchmark it and m9 just beat it, but every day use the Sony seems to wipe the floor with the m9 apart from high graphic games but web browsing and YouTube and opening and multi tasking my Sony wins easily.
Just want to know what people are experiencing with there m9 and do they find the performance the new 64bit falgship from HTC.

It's very fast phone and UI is smoothest and fastest I've used coming from an LG UI.
My M9 score over 60927 in AnTuTu so it is really the cheapest and fastest Android phone I've had.

Iam finding the m9 fast but now and a again theres tiny little lag on the UI and on web browsing the phone has little lag, it's nothing major but for a 2015 64bit flagship phone from HTC maybe I was expecting a little to much, iam even finding my self missing the the m7 which I replaced with the m9.

Only thing after a while of use now that annoys me with this phone is the battery life. Performance is good enough. Most lag free phone there is.
The HTC Internet app is faster and smoother than chrome so I use that for browsing.
Same issue here. No problems at all until about 2 days ago, and now in some apps (Up, Play Music, Mint) scrolling through lists is not smooth anymore. Sometimes opening the app drawer stutters a bit too. Sometime late in the day yesterday the issue seemed to almost go away, but not all the way. It's driving me crazy.
Totally stock. Guess I'll need to factory reset before I decide something is for sure wrong.

Ah, you downloaded it, that explains how it got there.
The performance does suffer due to throttling as system heats up, which it tends to do when running benchmark.
For example I ran Basemark os II and scored a not very impressive 1116
Then after cooling phone (placed in freezer for a minute)
I run same benchmark and got 1561
Which is quite respectable.
All Android phones I have owned have code that will slow down soc and gpu by dropping clock rate when temps rise.

I ran antutu yesterday on mine. With the power save feature OFF it was around 52000. It was almost exactly 10K less with the power save enabled.
Essentially, it is as fast as the M8 while using power save.
Don't know if you've seen this video. Shows GalaxyS6 vs S6 Edge vs HTC One M9 vs G Flex 2 Antutu Test! He runs it 4 times in a row and the m9 does not throttle. It gets the same score each time. It also finishes first in all 4 tests, but has a lower score the the Samsungs. Just thought I'd share. I have my m9 waiting at home but I won't get there until Monday night. Can't wait.

No, and I was hoping that in the couple Sense Home updates that've rolled out since I said anything in this thread there was going to be a fix, but sadly, still sutters the first time I open it in a while. If I open it within like a minute or so of the last time I did there's no stutter. It's a tiny detail but it drives me CRAZY lol. M8 didn't have that stutter.

Yea I have the exact same issue too. I thought I was the only one. I still think its more of a sense home issue because nova launcher doesn't seem to have the issue. I thought maybe it was related to the power saver mode on but that wasn't the case either. Not sure why it stutters but would like to know a fix for it for anyone knows why.
Coming from the G2 I thought this phone would be much quicker but it has been struggling. I haven't even installed all of my apps yet, and it's already really slow. Multitasking on this phone is not that much faster than the G2 for me. Maybe it is the stock launcher?
Also the Smart Lock is really iffy. Sometimes it doesn't work when I am at home, I think it's because it takes a couple of seconds for it to realize I am at home. Other times when I am out to it doesn't lock it when it should be.
Going to wait until I can root it and hopefully with some changes it gets better. At this point I am really disappointed by the performance. Just as I was typing this and listening to Spotify the phone is lagging while I am trying to turn up the volume.
I find the G2 is still a power house. Perfomance is not that different. I was a bit disappointed in the difference. Aside from the bigger screen, camera, and form factor, it doesnt really seem that different.
Supoosedly there are some background services hogging resources. LG came out and said it was the LG keyboard. Others reported disabling the MultiWindow feature also helps.
It isnt a huge upgrade but I believe it is just initial quirks that need ironing out.
I noticed that my g4 was running slow when I had an SD card installed. It runs smoother without one.
Coming from the Note family, I can say this phone is on par with the Note 4/Edge in terms of performance for day to day activities, with significantly better battery life. My G4 is fast, performs really well with minimal lag. The only lag I noticed is when using the LG keyboard. I installed SwiftKey and my phone now is (almost) lag free. You might need to reset your phone and see if that helps, as I see a lot of members here got their G4 issues resolved after a good fresh restore.
There are 20 other threads with same topic.
Sent from my SM-G920T
I always factory refresh from the store because they typically skip the initial setup steps. My G4 was acting crazy before that. My friend got a G4 new deliver and set it up herself and has been acting fine. Maybe one of the background apps is constantly looking for a skipped response and eating resources.
Thanks for the replies. As for this being posted before I didn't see it and I wanted to explain my experience / specifics.
I might try the factory reset and see if that helps. As for the sd card it would be hard to remove because it's the main reason I upgraded the phone. Also going to turn off multi window, I don't use it anyway.
Do you use Lastpass?
First thing I noticed after I had my first S6 was how slow the G4 was compared to it. Back on my S6 and couldn't be happier.

Odd, I felt my G4 was getting pretty laggy using Google Now Launcher and switched back to the LG Launcher, which has been perfectly smooth and lag free for me so far.
I have an S6 as well that I had for a month before the G4 and it is definitely faster and smoother (except in Chrome), but I love the larger screen and awesome manual camera controls on the G4. Tough decision for sure. If the G4 was as fast and smooth as the S6, it would be no contest for me, G4 all the way. Still leaning towards the G4 though. Want to wait for the next update on each before making my final decision about which to sell.

Yea I don't know has worked for me, the battery life is for sure longer, but it's all negligible, it may be the phone just settling in, I am hoping that LG will come out with a minor update to address some of the lag and other issues, the s6 is faster though, it also has a faster processor and better GPU. but I feel the camera, screen size, design, Expandable memory and a few other things make it worth it, free extra battery and SD doesn't hurt either.

Thank you for all of your suggestions. To the person who asked about lastpass, I don't use it on my phone, love using it on the PC.
I disabled multi window and it has made it a tiny bit faster. Still lagging way more than a 2015 flagship should during normal operation.
I want to install nova launcher but I spent a lot of time setting up folders in the stock app drawer, not fun to set it up all over again.
The S6 is definitely faster than our phones, but as mentioned there are other attributes of the G4 that mean more to some of us. Still, I think this phone should be faster than what I am experiencing. Instead of the free battery promotion I wish they had spent the money on the processor or further optimization.
Turn on force gpu rendering and use google keyboard. Will make your life easier.

Nova can instantly import the folders, CMIIW. shouldn't be a problem
I tried importing but I don't think nova allows folders in the app drawer, didn't work for me. Also by using nova I lose the stock calendar widget that shows the month view with events on it, it has been like this forever, maybe there is workaround?
Definitely laggy. Coming from a faster Note 4. It blows my mind and aggravates me so much when a brand new phone can lag like this. Maybe it's the Slacker app... But I notice when running this and switching between hangouts.. It'll straight up freeze for 3-5 second sometimes. Note 4 never did this. Hoping a patch fixes this beta.
Just curious what other Verizon owners are experiencing. I love this phone and am keeping it, warts and all. But from other forums I'm getting the feeling that the Verizon model has a lot more issues than other models. My main gripe is I'm getting a total freeze of my phone, nothing happens on screen and button taps do nothing at all, this lasts for about a minute then the phone comes back, but everything runs very very slowly, then eventually it will run normally again. I'm also seeing a ton of lag, specifically something will run or animate very slowly and stutters, like for example if I close an app the animation of it shrinking can sometimes be fast and smooth, other times it's slow and stutters to the point where you can almost count the frames. My wife has a Note 7 as well and she had one episode where she was using WhatsApp, her phone completely froze on her and then after a minute or so just rebooted.
I've also had issues with wifi calling dropping calls left and right. I've had issues with the phone not wanting to switch from a weak crappy wifi signal to cellular. GPS was dropping a lot initially, but I haven't seen that issue lately. Battery life overall hasn't been stellar, but I hope that just means it is still breaking in.
I'm on Verizon and experiencing the same crap.. love this phone as well. I have disabled all the bloatware too

i have experienced the same i am not sure what gives but i hope an optimization patch is released for it soon.
Totally agree. I got the Moto Z about 3 weeks before Note launch and that phone is fast. I figured the Note would be just as fast. Nope. The Moto is very fast to unlock with fingerprint. Note has some delay and goes to lock screen then open. Bit hokey if you ask me. I get a lot of lag doing normal things. Was using Nova, thought that might be it so went back to samsungs launcher. Kinda helped. Just does not have the zip I thought it would. Might forgo the s pen and swap with my wife. Hopefully N will help, but we all know VZW will f that up too.

Good lock is better and faster imo. I couldn't find it on galacy apps but worked just fine from here.

Totally agree. I got the Moto Z about 3 weeks before Note launch and that phone is fast. I figured the Note would be just as fast. Nope. The Moto is very fast to unlock with fingerprint. Note has some delay and goes to lock screen then open. Bit hokey if you ask me. I get a lot of lag doing normal things. Was using Nova, thought that might be it so went back to samsungs launcher. Kinda helped. Just does not have the zip I thought it would. Might forgo the s pen and swap with my wife. Hopefully N will help, but we all know VZW will f that up too.

Moto z is tempting, so thin and a great looking phone.

I just have to say. GTFO with your magical phone. 9 hours SOT. Give me a break.
I can't comment on poor performance on the Verizon Note vs others because I haven't use the others. I will say, some performance is poor.
Thank goodness we have root tho. Maybe we can fix some stuff the Big Red dictator screwed up.

Lol so how do we figure out screen on time then because according to you if i go into my battery settings and it shows screen on 9 hours that isnt possible
My phone is running buttery smooth! Slightly over 2 days battery life! No complaints.
For those with the issues, try a factory reset and dont disable anything. Run the phone and see if it still happens. If so then you have gotten bad phones.
I'm just now reading about some of these issues people are having. I've got a pre order phone. Delivered on the 19th. It's been a dream from day 1. Better than my note 5 by far. My 5 was dropping calls and battery dying in a day. Haven't dropped a call nor run out of battery. My s6 edge plus was horrible. Only had it for a day. This looked similar so I was a bit nervous. Other than it having an issue with either the gear app our the bluetooth sending ringtone to my gear s2 on all calls regardless of ringer settings I've got zero complaints.

I haven't had any of these issues on my Note 7. I have had it one week now. Battery life is decent, but I don't know what the stats look like since I am always near a charger. I took the ota halfway through the week and it didn't seem to affect anything one way or the other.
