Hello, Optimus G users.
I recently bought a new Optimus G European version. I am a newbie, so I would be very grateful if someone can help me a little.
I have E97510d version, however my phone came in a box only with Korean (or Chinese) manual, also outside of the box was with those letters (except for features section). And also, when you bought your phone, the features where not directly printed on the back of the box, but on a sticker or smth, right? I know, I sound funny, and I highly doubt that phone might be fake etc., but still is it somehow possible to check if your imei is legit?
Also, I have an EU version, however I got a different charger (like UK I guess).
Now a little about built quality. Overall phone looks great, feels great (i have also the bumper), but there is one thing that I don't like. It is the body sound from back of the phone. When I hit somewhere near camera on the back of phone, there is like a little sound in the phone, like some moving parts (screws maybe). Has anyone else experienced the same? I've read that N4 users have the same issue (or not an issue), but I was not able to find anything about it in OG forum, so I made a new thread.
Also, I have only about 1gb free ram when I do not use any apps. That's quite interesting. Are there any solutions for that?
And only lag I have is when I pick up the phone (press the green button). Then phone freezes for a half-second. Also it does not open messages and contacts instantly. Just saying...
Welcome!
For the IMEI you can check in Settings->About the phone->Phone Identity ( or something like that, it may be different since mine is in spanish ). Check if that IMEI is the same as the one that appears on the outside of the box.
Mine sounds a little bit where the micro sim is, but only when I shake it hard. In a normal usage I don't notice it.
About the ram, I usually have 1,2-1,3gb free, so I think that's normal. I had to install some really heavy apps to get it down to 800mb free and even then I didn't notice any lag whatsoever.

Thank you for a response.
So, you only have this sound where sim card is located. No sound near camera? (When you hit it a little)
And can you tell me how did you get your ram usage so low?
Thanks again,
No sound around the camera, just where the sim card is located.
I use Greenify to hibernate ( freeze ) apps that run in the background that may keep my phone awake. That also helps having less processes and increasing the ram available. Apart from that, I didn't do anything, it's just as it came from stock.
My European E975 got exactly the same paper sticker on the back with the serial number and IMEI. I wrote it down in a safe place and after that I removed the sticker (esthetic reasons). That was 4 months ago.
Few days ago I noticed a scrunchy sound around the top of the phone when I squeeze it pretty hard on the left-top corner. I guess it's ok, I noticed it by total mistake, it doesn't bother me at all.
It bothers me a little the two small yellow tints I got in the top-right and bottom-left corners of the screen. The yellow tint is only visible on bright backgrounds (like in browser with white page). The size of the tints is similar in size to the smallest fingernail. It looks like a small drop of pee got stuck between two sheets of glass. I don't mind, but next time I'll check the display better when I'll buy a phone.
Anyways, congrats for your acquisition and we hope to see you again around here.
Hello, I own E975K Australian version, and I can confirm that my 13mp camera definitely 'clicks' when I tap it.
Bit annoying really. Since the build is so solid, it kinda degrades it.
Will be joining the LG Optimus G club very shortly! Can't wait

hmm? i dont recall anything clicking. care to explain?
Hello again.
Thank you for responses.
Yesterday I went to a cellphone shop and there where these demo phones, well they are reals phones, only locket to a ware or something. And the thing is that also that LG optimus G in the shop was clicking. I suppose it is ok. Maybe something connected with rotation sensor etc.
If I want to use greenify I have to root right?

This is how cameras work, cant remember exactly what part it is, but it has to be free, so when tapping it makes a sound.
the sound near the camera is normal. it has to do with the optics, the camera module has a lot of these. i came from an HTC One X and it has a sound there too.

So... over on the main G3 section, there's a lot of talk about several issues.
1) Phone randomly shutting down, or failing to come out of deep sleep (after overnight charging, for instance - but also at more random times). Often, folks are having to pop the batter to get it to come back to life.
2) Problems with using the headphone jack as an aux-output (for car or home stereo, as an example). There are glitches with the phone not realizing it's plugged into something, and glitches with the phone sending out dirty signals in between tracks (pops, crackles, etc), and with a buzz or hum in one side or another.
3) Problems with the phone becoming exceptionally warm. All phones get warm, but some users are reporting that their phones become extremely uncomfortable to hold, and simultaneously begin to have hardware problems (phone just dying completely, or screen flicker).
4) Those who have purchased multiple phones have reported issues with screen variances (some screens will appear warmer or cooler, more blue or more yellow), even with phones that were purchased from the same store on the same day. Some have reported needing to get a replacement phone and noticing this.
I'm curious about getting some discussion going here. Have any of you here had these problems with your D851 (T-mobile) G3's? have you had any major problems with your devices, or needed to get a replacement? Why? It seems like many of the problems are with the D855s, but I'm curious how many are truly affecting our D851s.
Thanks for the feedback!
TL/DR: What big problems have you had on T-Mo G3? Needed a replacement? Thnx!
My first G3 I bought on launch day from the t mobile store had overheating and rapid battery killing issues even after resets and doing everything from scratch. I swapped that one out yesterday and the second one I got was running good but then I ran into the headphone jax bug where it doesn't recognize the headphones being plugged in and after about 4 or 5 resets and wipes it finally starting working.... Right now I am debating if I should just get another G3 or what because the next one might have something else wrong lol.. I go to t mobile today so hopefully everything will go well.
Only one of those I've experienced is the problems with the aux jack
My G3 is perfect to the point I even recommend it to my girlfriend who ended up paying cash for one... Well with hers it wouldn't wake up from a deep sleep while charging and needed a battery pull. I'm definitely going to keep eye on that.
Haven't had any of the issues with mine. Although I just got it yesterday. It worked fine with headphones but haven't tried plugging into my truck yet.
Aux worked fine in my truck..
The only issue I have is the aux in my car. I turn on Bluetooth so I can still play music in my car. I'm ok but lg should definitely fix this.

Hopefully won't get scolded because I already mentioned it in another thread... :/
- My first G3, an AT&T had an issue where knock on didnt work most of the time. Returned it and went to T-Mobile.
- My current T-Mobile version has display issues. Screen has an overall yellowish tint and has been getting worse by the day. The top right corner of my screen just started getting more discolored as well. My brightness is abnormal... it looks as if it goes to 150%, lol. Too bright even on 0%.
Went back to the store, after comparing my phone to the demo models and the salesmen's personal phones, mine was determined as defective. Was going to exchange and they went back to get one phone after another - all 3 that they opened had worse screens than mine. They think they may have gotten a bad batch and advised me to come back in a week when they hopefully get a shipment from a different batch. I dont feel like waiting a week and gambling again, so im going to return it for a full refund. Going to get an AT&T version and unlock it for T-Mobile.
Quick update to what I posted earlier... I went back to t-mobile to replace my 2nd G3 due to Aux port not working and they gave me a new one and I have to say that this is the best one i got screen wise. OMG its beautiful.... colors are balanced, temp of the screen is near perfect not to cold not to warm, sharpness yes its still crazy high but it doesn't have the blurry looking effect with text and certain apps and everything else seems to be working like it should be. Hopefully the 3rd device is going to be the charm if not then idk lol...

Did you buy your device outright? I'm just switching to Tmobile, ordered my G3 online. And for now, I used their equipment payment plan. I'm gonna wait and see how bad the network is in my area. If I go for it, I'll be paying it off straight away. Just curious how Tmobile is about replacing devices that are defective. Are they pretty on top of it?
Or should I invest in some kind insurance? (actual insurance... uggghhh... or the Jump program (also doesn't appeal, but as flaky as these things have been, I'm worried))

Yea I bought the device outright because I sold my S5 and I don't use jump since I switch phones a lot. As for insurance and defective devices I use Tmobile's just without jump and they are pretty good with swapping bad devices. My M8 had a network/sim issues they literally sent 5 M8's because the issue wasn't going away but they made sure the problem was fix lol. Even my S5 screen went bad and they had me a replacement device the next day... so I can't really say anything negative about there warranty/insurance polices. Even with the G3 they replaced the device as soon as i showed something was wrong with a brand new one in box
My opinion

Well.... Ive had my g3 since wednesday and yes the headphone jack works but this thing refuses to enter deepsledp for some reason...and im noticing some almost grayish lines behind text when I'm reading a webpage or text
@Eldartho well i would say get it replaced. I did notice the lines with one of the display units in the store. LG is very hit or miss with the displays on the G3.... My current replacment is saturated like my s5 out the box but my last one was dull like z2/z1 so the displays are going to be a raffle on getting the right one. As for the deepsleep that sounded like the problem my first device had and it would always stay hot and drain extremely fast

I guess I'm either the luckiest guy in the world when it comes to getting phones, or just not anal retentive enough. I've never had to return a phone due to the issues that people post on XDA. I guess I'm just really lucky.

You are lucky, lol. Last 3 phones I bought from T-Mobile (M8, S5, G3) have all had to be exchanged due to hardware issues. Beginning to think they build the T-Mobile phones with bottom of the box parts, haha. To be fair though, I first bought the AT&T G3 and returned because Knock On wasn't working.
I bought mine off of swappa from a beta winner and it is perfect. Same with my s5. I am lucky x2 it seems

I keep trying to press the top right gear but nothing seems to be happening.
Is there some setting I'm missing or it just not suppose to work that way?
Thanks
Has anybody else had "Cell Standby" high on the list of battery drain?
I have issues with the keyboard reverting back to the stock keyboard even though I was using Swype. I had to freeze the stock one to stop this. I also have some apps logging out occasionally.
Had the headphone jack issue ... Went to the store to exchange n it worked all of a sudden ....bought bluetooth headphone just in case lol got the LG tone pros
There is a small rectangular yellow patch in the upper left corner of the screen that's really only noticeable on a white background. I've had the M8 about 6 weeks and I swear it wasn't there when new. And there seems to be the hint of a new one in the upper right corner.
I've googled and haven't come up with any mention of this with the M8. Are they burn in spots? I can live with it (having tried the Find 7a, if you know what I mean), but would like to know if it's something that can be helped or if it's progressive. Has anyone else seen this?

I developed a spot similar to what you are describing. Mine was on the left side of the phone around where the volume buttons start on the other side. It was probably about a centimeter long and maybe half-a-centimeter wide. It was really noticeable only on white screens like you already mentioned but it bothered me to no end. I don't remember my phone having that either so I believe it developed for whatever reason. I actually sent it to HTC and received a replacement. I guess they deemed it to be a flaw. Hope this helps.

It does, yes, thx. My patch is pretty much the same size (1cm x .3cm, give or take). My concern basically is how it affects the resale value. I bought mine from Amazon, but I'm past the 30 day window for exchanges, so I guess I will have to deal with HTC directly. Did they send you a brand new phone or a refurbished one?
They told me that it was going to be refurbished. Honestly though I couldn't tell it apart from a new one. Mine was perfect with no flaws in any way.
And one more question, if you don't mind. I've done pretty much everything I could to void the warranty - unlock bootloader, soff, root, custom firmware & ROM. I'm assuming I'll have to get back as close to stock as possible (although some have said if it's a hardware issue that's not needed). What was your experience in this regard?
any luck?

I have the same issue - have tried every software to recalibrate the screen but its still just getting worse. Any idea if HTC will do a warranty on the screen hardware if you have unlocked the bootloader and done s-off? I did the unlock through HTC dev if this helps or not... I am confident I can reset the s-off but they will know its been unlocked regardless of what I reset
This is definatley a hardware issue so I would hope HTC being so dev friendly would warrant it still... But looking to see if any one else managed to get this done.
Thanks
I've now gone through 4 M8's, all have developed the same issue. It seems to occur when the phone gets warm (I.E. data use in mediocre service areas). I tried rotating how I put the phone in my pocket with #3, just in case the issue was due to it being bent/crunched, but the spot came back in the same location. I'm thinking that something gets hot and delaminates the LCD under the glass.
I'm about ready to send in #4 and go for #5. I am paying for the Verizon Warranty service, they haven't given me any hassle, just sent me a new device over night. Regardless, I'm disappointed--I love the phone, but dealing with the issue every 3 months is annoying. The longer you let it go the more discolored it'll get, until eventually you can't read the text under the burned area.
Good luck!
today appears on mine after 1 yr of use maybe is because integrated Avago ACPM-7600 power amplifier module check htc one m8 motherboard and the spot and sounds like te ic is overheating , i use a lot of mods on my htc one m8 harman kardon , mod mine is a att ,also 2 sound mods more increasing the sound level i believe is just heat and it kills the screen sorry for bad english
Hello,
I have in every app this bright bar at the top of my screen.
I have the H815 version.
It looks like backlight bleed but i am not sure.
You can see it the best in de notification dropdown.
Do you guys have it too?
Thanks,
First one did, more like the brightness inconsistency throughout the screen. I just received the replacement and much better now. I'd request for the replacement of I were you. They gave me a brand new phone since I was within the "return policy"

The top and the bottem of my screen are also brighter, just a slight bleed, but it doesnt bother me as long as it stays that way and doesnt get worse. Im pretty sure the only way it can be fixed is either by replacing the dispaly or getting a new phone.
I will atach photos of the problem, and is there any way whic could help me, it look like some pixels are freezed. This is most noticable on gray color.

It is a screen burn ,i have tried to solve problem with Screen Burn-in Tool app from Play Store
but no success,this problem have also few my friends with lg g4,i newer buy any lg phone again, lg is better to produce tv sets and wasmachines because as phone manufactures sucks.
Same issue here too, it isn't necessarily burn in, more image retention I guess which tends to happen to some LCD's, tried all sorts of things to fix it, if anyone knows how to fix this that would be awesome
Guess we'll have to either get the device replaced or replace the LCD

If it's retention the LCD won't have to be replaced. Just wait a little, and it's gone.
And it inst always there, it knows to disaper.
And one more thing, it constantly changin, for example now i see 12:30, and for 2 minutes i will see 12:32, not one picture burned in.

Its pretty bad retention if thats the case, not permanent...only really see it on grayish backgrounds....Ive left the phone off for days...switched it back on and within a matter of minutes my status bar is burned in lol
Same problem here pink burn that appears only on gray with a few minutes of use.
I was wondering if its just my device or not.
And now that i know that is the case i guess switching the phone display will not solve it.
I am getting this issue as well. Pinkish tint (when there is a light grey background) and image retention on the top of the screen and I can see those little icons. Did you get the problem after motherboard replacement due to bootloop issue? I am regretting my decision in purchasing LG G4.. :crying:

It is the display, friend of mine replaced his and he no longer had this issue.
I think he ordered a $70 USD replacement off Amazon and did it himself since LG requested for him to send the phone to Taiwan.

To be honest it does not really bother me,the only thing is that i can not put a gray wallpaper :/.
And when you mention this i think it actually started only after i got my motherboard replaced because of the bootloop but i might just did not notice until than..
And no regreting is needed alot of people that i know with s6 are not so happy about it..and the only other option was m9...so.....if you like me and had no choice the g4 was the smartest choice lol and i am quite happy with it...

Well i was talking about that, if you would give your phone to lg they will replace with the same display..so i dont see the point...
And the replacement displays you cant tell how are they as in brightness battery drain and color accuracy...
I guess if it will get worse than i will probably replace it..for now its fine enough lol

Meh...it's really not a huge problem lol, it grew on me after some time and it doesn't bother me anymore
Hasn't gotten worse over the past 6-ish months or so, so I guess it'll stay this way
I'm from Jamaica so sending it to Taiwan is going to be a bit of a problem
But as for the replacement part, I definitely get what you're saying, I asked my friend about his for the purpose of this thread and he told me that the battery life is the same, brightness/quality is similar to the original display, worse case scenario if you need to change the screen I'd say go for it.

I have found a some kind temporary workaround ( i don't know is that correct language expression in english so sorry for that )
Mainly here is what I did : I have flash latest SUPERXE kernel for stock rom android 6.0 from here , after flash from Play Store I have installed app Kernel Adiutor ,from the drop-down menu selected Screen section and aply this settings :
RED=230
GREEN=235
BLUE=235
Minimum RGB Value=35
Saturation Intensity= 30
Screen Hue=0
Screen Value= 125
Screen Contrast=127
After this no more red colored retention on gray background,not even in TWRP recovery.
This solution is only for rooted devices with unlocked bootloader,I hope this will help You
After kernel installation i have run few times antutu benchmark,so maybe this is also have influence on screen refresh.

This worked for me, too Thanks for sharing.
Anyway I will try warranty soon.
Dear guys, 12/2015 I have same issue that burning, my local warranty service ok change a new LCD, it is very OK after replacement, no burn any more. But after 6 months the same issue come back, it is hardware issue. LG always have issue about hardware in flagship more than other competitor.
Not a G4 owner but I have used a G4 before as well as a V10 and a G5, currently own the V10. This issue is present on all three devices and isn't a question of if it will happen, it's a matter of when it will happen. I noticed this issue with my display a few months ago and the entire affected area has a weird yellowish hue to it which is most noticeable on a lighter grey hue and as of now have grown used to it to a degree: still annoys me a bit. Also had a friend whom I recommended the G4 to and he had this issue with retention since he got it though he barely notices it since his phone is almost always set at 0% brightness
Anyways, at this point the main cause for this as I've said in a couple of threads is the display technology itself. I'm guessing this is one of the side effects Quantum Display has for offering near-amoled quality with vivid colors and blacks in comparison to regular LCD panels. Basically, even replacing the display is a temporary issue and still a lottery as you may get one with no issues until a year later or one that already has retention out of the box.
At this point, I might even tolerate amoled displays or non-Quantum Display lcd panels but it's too bad LG makes great phones. Oh well, just another thing to keep in mind when getting a phone from LG

To be honest it does not really bother me,the only thing is that i can not put a gray wallpaper :/.
And when you mention this i think it actually started only after i got my motherboard replaced because of the bootloop but i might just did not notice until than..
And no regreting is needed alot of people that i know with s6 are not so happy about it..and the only other option was m9...so.....if you like me and had no choice the g4 was the smartest choice lol and i am quite happy with it...
Well i was talking about that, if you would give your phone to lg they will replace with the same display..so i dont see the point...
And the replacement displays you cant tell how are they as in brightness battery drain and color accuracy...
I guess if it will get worse than i will probably replace it..for now its fine enough lol

I started getting this burn in and i am 95% sure that it didn't happen before. My G4 was in bootloop so i sent it back and i think that they replaced motherboard. After about 2 months of usage i started noticing this and as i said i am 95% sure that it didn't happen before motherboard was replaced, only if i didn't realise that but i am sure there was not this problem. :/ :/ :/ Is it actually possible that it is coz of motherboard replacement and that it can't be fixed even if i replace screen?!?!

It's not a motherboard issue but a display issue. With the G4, V10, and G5, there will be displays that will have retention out of the box or in a matter of a few months and then those who don't get it until 2 years into use or in fact, never at all. Only solution is replacing the display but that's a bit of a lottery in it of itself as you don't know if it won't have its own issues and I'd imagine constantly buying new LCD digitizers to grow costly that you might as well just buy a new phone altogether.
