update your prl 2x and your profile 2x..if that doesn't work. do a factory reset and then do this process again.
sometimes there are glitches between your phone and the towers

G3 Serious Screen Issue (Fried GPU?)

Hello, just out of no where today I had a problem the exact same as in this video: http://youtu.be/drZc4ZPcuvo. It has finally went back to normal but now the screen is constantly flickering. Seems to me like a dodgy GPU or LCD connector. Any ideas amyone?

I posted almost the exact same issue a few weeks ago if you search for it. Yeah with my 1st G3 this happened and I had to return it.

I just returned it and they gave me a new one so I never found out. Was a bit nervous as I had an unlocked bootloader etc but they never checked.

I see in your post you factory reset it, did that help at all?

HI, I see that you mentioned that you unlocked your bootloader. I hadn't yet heard of an exploit? This is a deciding factor for me in switching over to this device. Can you shed a little light on the exploit that you used? Is it publicly available? Did you get a device that already had the bootloader unlocked?(doesn't sound like it because otherwise I doubt you would fear them having an issue with it). Which devices is the exploit available for?(int, att, tmo, etc) Tha:good:nks in advance

No, it didn't help. Nothing helped. There was obviously something hardware wise that was broken. The only thing I can think that did it was that I was messing around in the developer options with GPU rendering soon before it happened. Incidentally on my 2nd replacement handset I had a few what looked like screen glitches, the screen almost flashed off and on a few times. I put that down to using the nomone resolution app when it happened.

Sorry, it wasn't unlocked, it was rooted and I had installed a new Rom from the development section.

Im really not sure, it may have just been the GPU overheating or something, or some kind of power loss im not sure, ill keep watch on it this week.

Haven't had this issue since, so it was a one off!

New Verizon G4 owner (VS98625A) intro and question.

I've wanted a G4 since I first saw it. I liked the subtly curved screen and even more that the curve is less pronounced--it's a really nice phone and since I just got it, I can't complain. However, I had a Moto X (1st gen) for three years with Sprint and I really liked it! I didn't like Sprint's poor coverage and seemingly unsupportive customer service. But I liked the Moto X probably more than I've liked any phone I've ever owned because it seemed to be the perfect size, it felt like a tank, and was really fast for the hardware. But what I miss the most are the active notifications when the phone was idle.
I have no plans to return to the Moto X but I would like to see if active notifications ( or something like it ) are possible to enable on the G4. This might be a challenge with Marshmallow's Doze mode (that I just learned about).
Lastly, it would be cool if someone can provide a website or forum that supports users that have tricked out the G4. I already looked up rooting options--I always root my phones--but apparently there isn't one for the VS98625A yet. :fingers-crossed:

There's an app that I use called KinScreen that has an option to wave your hand over it and it will wake up the screen. However, it will drain the battery more quickly as our phones have an LCD screen. At one time there was an app could replicate the active notifications found on Moto devices.
It is possible to root your phone if you flash the lollipop kdz file using LGUP. If you search XDA you should be able to find it.

It's a nice phone but the battery is not great, especially for a medium to heavy user
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

I'm a medium to heavy user and the battery life is acceptable. Any chance I get to plug in it throughout the day, I take it. I have owned a Galaxy Nexus before where the battery life sucked and I used a spare battery just to get through most of the day. I didn't enjoy having to carry around a spare battery all the time. With quick charging on the G4, I can plug it in occasionally throughout the day and it's enough for me. At least for now.
In July, my wife and I will be going to Alaska for two weeks, so I plan on buying a spare battery and charger for the trip. But for normal, every day usage, I don't have a need for an extra battery right now.

Also, keep an eye on the apps that use a lot of battery, and disable them, if possible. Just the other day, I noticed that the Verizon cloud app was using a lot of battery, so I disabled it. I have noticed an improvement in the battery life since disabling it.

Thanx
Thanx, bro, for providing the link, I really appreciate it. I will try and let you know. Is this update better than the 24C in terms of stability and bug fix? I had to downgrade to 13B after too many random reboots on 24C!!!

I dont know. I only installed it to prove to people 25A can be down graded. I don't care for mm unless it involves root

Ok.
Ok, bro, I understand. It is completely downgradable as well as 24C. I did it and went back to 13B due to too many random reboots. However, it went to a bootloop and taht's a common problem you may have while downgrading... Had to do a hard reset.

well hope it fixed your issue. cool that you understand. have fun with your g4 and i am glad to help you out

I am on version 25A now and so far so good. Apparently they fixed the issue with the memory as that was causing the automatic reboots. I did not do a hard reset after upgrading, but it is advisable. Hope all is smooth as butter now. Thanks, bro, for your comments.

Lol... pretty sure LG first needs to release it for the unlocked version. Then add about 6 months to a year, and we may get it on Verizon if we are lucky.

True, true. I really wish that Wifi Calling would do a hand-off to cell towers if the wifi connection drops, and vice-versa.

so what's the changes?

Two things I have noticed thus far:
- Auto brightness seems to be a little bit brighter, doesn't go down to lowest level that easily anymore
- I noticed that there is ZRAM now listed under the RAM details of a process. Not sure if that is new or I just haven't noticed that before.
Can anybody with pre-27C check if ZRAM is listed on the RAM details pane of a process? If not, then this is new.

where is this?

I have been using Facebook and it randomly just rebooted twice within two minutes. I'm on 27c. Could it just be Facebook or the new software update? Who knows. But I never have experienced reboots in the past. The first one was annoying. I was responding in length to someone for at least 5 minutes, and it decides it wants to reboot. I lost everything that I had typed out. The phone was not charging but was slightly warm. So I feel like either Facebook or something else may have caused it. I have installed and uninstalled Facebook several times in the past. It's just annoying to try and share things without having the native app installed.

Alright, I uninstalled Facebook. I go to Facebook on chrome and less than one minute, the bottom half of the screen decides to go all blurry and pixelated. The phone reboots. Has anyone else experienced similar things or is this a first sign that my phone is slowly going to keep getting worse until it starts boot looping?

Go to the App Info page of a running process (long press the icon), let's say Chrome. Then click on Memory at the bottom to get the Memory details.
If you are on pre-27C, do you see any mention of "ZRAM" in the memory details?

I think you got a bootloop coming. Probably the heat generated by installing the update has caused it. Happened to me last time when i installed 26A as well, few days later it started acting up and then bootlooped.

Nothing really. Backup your data and be prepared for the inevitable to happen.

I guess I'm gonna be looking to go to T-Mobile so I can get them to pay off my phone. I owe $425 to Verizon for another year. If I buy a phone from them and switch to them, I can get rid of this phone. Last year, I got an iPhone 6plus on payments. 6 months later I sold it for $500 and bought this brand new G4 on Swappa for $300. But I'm still obligated to make the payments to Verizon for the cost of the iPhone.

Pretty sure they require you to turn in the actual phone on the payment plan to pay it off. Since you don't have the phone anymore, that may be an issue.

So looks like ZRAM was added with 27c. It allows to hold a few more apps in RAM than before.
Security date of 27c is September.

That's not the case. If you look at T-Mobile's website it says otherwise. You send in the phone to T-Mobile, not Verizon when you switch.

I've thoroughly researched this issue and talked with two different people from Verizon support on whether or not you can switch phones while under a payment plan without having to turn in the original phone. The payments aren't tied to the phone, only the phone line.

T-mobile S20 Signal issues.

I have a t-mobile s20 everything was fine until I updated to the new security patch firmware which was August 1st. And since then my signal has been wonky. Constant no connection/reconnecting. Now it gets to where sometimes it'll get stuck on searching for service and I won't need to reboot my device multiple times in a day to get it back and running again.

I am having the exact same problem! Just updated my phone today and thought it was just my phone! Let me know if anyone finds a solution!

Thank you. Basically looks like we're gonna have to wait until Samsung/t-mobile releases another update for the fix.

lol I have a one plus 8, on t mobile and I literally just bought a g s20 to avoid this issue. That happened to me twice after two updates on the one plus 8. Lol t mobile is sucking on updates.
