Tips:
Some ways to reduce lag:
Turn ART on. You need to turn on the developer option feature. ART will load apps faster and save battery life. The version on KitKat is in beta, but I havent had any issues.
To turn on developer option:
1. On your Android phone head over to Settings->About Phone.
2. Now scroll down to Software Information and tap.
3. Next, scroll down and tap the Build Number for about 7 times, and a popup message will tell you 1. that Developers Options has been enabled on your Phone.
To Turn ART on:
1. Head to Settings-> Developer Options.
2. Tap on Select Runtime.
3. Select Use ART.
4. The phone will reboot and optimize your programs then you'll be good to go.
Another tip to fix lag:
1. Head to Settings-> Developer Options.
2. Scroll Down to Transition animation scale and tap it.
3. Select Animation scale .5
4. Select Transition animation scale and tap it.
5. Select Animation scale .5.
6. Select Animator duration scale and tap it.
7. Select Animation Scale .5
This Should Help speed things up. Another option is to replace the stock lg launcher. I personally use Nova Launcher Prime(paid version).
This is a link to the free version which is very good.
Nova Launcher:

How to run any app in dual window:
First you need to have a rooted phone.
download Build Prop Editor
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor&hl=en
open the app and go to persist.splitwindow.support_all
tap on it and change the value to true, tap save and then reboot. Now you can choose whatever apps you want in dual window.

I have animation off, never really cared for it. With nova launcher, do you lose knock to turn the phone off and knock to turn the phone on? I love Nova, but really like the on and off.

You do, but you can get it back. Download this

Then go to nova settings. Then go to gestures and buttons. Find double tap. Tap on it then select the program you downloaded. Youll have knock on and off back.

Easy guys...lag bothers some more than others. ART goes a long way as does debloating and greenifying, launchers and animations to 0, FPS tweaks...all affect lag perception.

[Q] thermal throttling sprint lg g3

okay so im trying to turn off thermal throttling on my sprint lg g3. i type in the code 5689#*990# to get to the hidden menu, but my hidden menu only lists: DEVICE TEST, ELT TEST, FACTORY RESET, LOG SERVICE, and WVDRM KEYBOX. do i have to enable something in order to see the other options or can i just not get them on my model?

Try an app called "shortcut master lite", you should be able to search for what your looking for through that. Sprint disabled a lot of stuff in the hidden menu for some reason. I used that app to disable OTA's also

well sir i do believe that worked perfectly!

Oh I know especially with the stock launcher the stutters killed me lol. I flashed barrens ROM not to long ago and running on ART, this thing flys now with no lag or stutters.

yeah i switched to ART too it seemed to help a bit but i was still seeing a whole bunch of lag especially when texting or using the keyboard at all. now that i turned off thermal throttling though this thing is like butter! im currently looking for a good launcher. any suggestions??

NovaLauncher is one of the better ones, if not the best.

Nova launcher, probably one of the best ones IMO.

In shortcut master lite search "thermal" - two results should be returned. Select the following option (should be the second result returned): com.lge.hiddenmenu.thermalsensor.ThermalMitigation

Try my CPU thermal throttling mod to improve performance and eliminate lag here is the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/thermal-mod-t2907363

Try searching either "High Temperature Property" or "Thermal Daemon Mitigation" believe that should work.

u need root
To tirn off the thermal thing you need root then use the short cut app ... Before root it wouodnt launch the shortcut but after root now i can turn it off.

[Q] Smart Screen ?

G4 does not have "Smart Screen" setting to keep the screen awake while you're looking at it. Is it me or am I missing something ???

Idk about a "smart screen" but it should have a sleep setting..
Sent from my S5 using your mom

Coming from a G2 and G3, smart screen setting never actually worked for me, especially in dark rooms..
I must be doing something wrong.

Ok but where is the setting ? That's what the thread is about...

On my 811 I can't find it either.. Or guest mode

On the G3 it's under General > Gestures. I can't find it either on the G4. They removed the Gestures menu. I did find the call and sound gestures under the Call menu (where you can turn the phone upside down to mute the sound, etc). Perhaps the smart screen is buried in another menu. I looked at the logical Display menu, but it was no where to be found.

even the tv off feature when turning off the screen has been removed as well; so sad that this is one of my fave feature also.

Its in the application manager under all apps and has the option to force close. Maybe we need a way to launch it like in a task launcher.

Yeah the smart screen and screen off effects were both removed. Don't know why, but I emailed Lg to ask and they sent me an email saying that they were very sorry and would forward it to the right department so that my voice can be heard.. I asked about not having guest mode/user profile too as the Tmo edition doesn't have it either.

I called LG and there is no way to enable smart screen. It's in application manager they just forgot the settings for it.

They just forgot to enable the settings for it. That sounds like a major QC error. I love LG, but this phone does sound like it was rushed to market, at least in the US, as it seems most of the issues are on the US versions. It could also be the carrier crap, uh, software, that they added is causing issues.

Theres other apps that use facial, but facial sucks at night and isnt as accurate as kinscreen. I used kinscreen even with my Note 4.

What are your settings / changes for stock 6.0

I just purchased the LG G4 H812 (in Canada) and I love it! I found that there was a few things that I changed right away and would love to hear what you have done to make this phone even better!
Here are a few things I have done so far;
Disabled a bunch of unneeded apps
Disabled Dual Window
Disabled QuickCircle case
Disabled sound on keypress
Turn Off Mobile Data (unless no wifi - while driving etc)
Installed Launcher <3
Turned off Smart Bulletin
Turned off NFC
Use Smart Unlock (Face and On-Body)
Increased vibration strength
Enabled Voice Clarity when not using voip
Installed V10 Camera Mod apk
Installed SystemUI Tuner (ADB permissions)
Disabled "ok Google" detection from any screen
I have been getting great battery life on this phone too! This is lots of web browsing, youtube, using the camera, small amount of gaming and lots of reading on the XDA app
Cheers!

And depending on model it's very risky to brick the device!

Added SystemUI Tuner to get immersive mode. Had to do some ADB commands to break my device's virginity. ?

Disabled the "ok Google" detection from any screen. I think this helped with scrolling jittery lagging in some apps.

Using the built in cleaning app has helped too. I run it about once a week or after installing/removing a bunch of apps.
Now I don't swipe away my frequently used apps from the recent apps button/screen and that really speeds up launching the apps I use often.

Just Got My Red Magic 5 - Software Limitations

This is the Global version that just came out a couple of days ago. Some minor annoyances that was hoping to get some help on:
1. There seems to be no way to display the battery percentage.
Does anyone know of a system app that I need to disable to get this to work? None of the solutions online work with the Red Magic 5G overlay with Android 10, and I don't want to install a third party widget to get this done.
2. As far as I know, I can't customize the lock screen outside of a wallpaper.
Just shows a general date and time but I would like to put widgets or additional information if possible. If anyone has any insight let me know.
I know the phone just came out, but these two issues are EXTREMELY annoying. I honestly might have to flash this when a method becomes available because I'm definitely not liking the lack of customization Nubia has put on with their Android 10 overlay.

May i ask of yours is passing safety net?

Regarding #1, you are screwed. I've seen this mentioned a few times on different YouTube reviews. Regarding #2, you are correct. But even more surprising and ridiculous is #3, which I'll add here. It appears Nubia is forcing you to use the stock launcher! Yes, that's right, it's currently IMPOSSIBLE to use ANY launcher other than the one that comes out of the box. Nubia has said that this is INTENTIONAL! CRAZY!

I have battery percentage on mine.
Settings > power management > electricity percentage.

There is no settings > power management

Yeah same don't have those options.

Also can't figure out how to access APN settings

I've read that the only way to see % battery is to activate AOD, and the % will be displayed.
Best regards.

You have the latest firmware. My god the launcher is so buggy and bad. They really should let you use whichever launcher you want. Also no setting to change screen dpi or size and it doesn't even have the android 10 notifications. You can't expand or delete or reply from notification drawer. This is really really poor

What versions does everyone have.
I am NX659J_ENCommon_V4.05
Pulse version of phone.
I have no power management options.
I can reply in line to notification in the notification tray.
How is your Wifi speed? I have tried mine on 2Ghz and 5Ghz and I only get about 30MB down, whereas my Honor View 20 gets 100MB.
Launcher is fine once you have it all setup, but kept saying shortcut already exists. If you rebooted you see they are there.
Now I have it all as want it, thats not really an issue now, but not a great setup experience.

That's so weird no updates available for mine also

Battery Meter Overlay was the only app that I found to be able to show the battery % (choose the "Overlap the Statusbar" option). You have to buy the paid version if you want to hide it in full screen mode. It is not perfect, but it is better than nothing. You can choose from different kind of themes and change the colours, scale and position so it is pretty customizable
I already new about Nubia blocking the use of custom launchers (saw a review where it was mentioned) before buying the phone and wrote them about it and asked them to revert this bad decision (and I also told them to fix the missing battery %). I hope you all write them about it as well, so they know that they have to fix these issues. And if they don't allow the use of custom launchers they have to give us a better stock launcher with much better customizability.

Do different models have different firmware?
Have they ever pushed an update in previous versions?

Anyone getting poor WiFi speeds?
Mine is just about 30mb down on 5ghz WiFi when my other phone pushes 100mb.
