Hello everyone...
I've been using G4 and found its camera dead slow compared to my Nokia 808. It focuses so slow that I find my 808 faster. When used with flash I've found G4 to be dead-slow compared to when I take pictures with 808 with xenon flash.
Maybe its something that am doing wrong? Any tips/guides plz?
It's the laser focus. Got rid of mine for this reason.

after 3 months of using my LG G3 this is the 1st time that the camera begun to become less fast when taking photos. i thought it was because i rooted my phone and then I unroot my LG G3 f400k but the same problem occurs it takes time to shoot photos it will slightly load after taking a shot. before you can resume and shot a photo again... what should I do! thanks for the help!
Hello
I have only bought my LG unlocked European version a few weeks ago, and have had the same issue since new. It is just so so slow - incredibly slow compared with My wives iPhone 5 even... Keep missing photos of my children as they don't hold still for long!! only bought the G3 for a) the screen and b) the camera speed.. Screen is great, but camera so so so slow.... If anyone has any ideas how to fix this it would be very much appreciated from me as well..

Hi,
Same experience here, my wife's G3 is just rubbish indoors! It takes 2s to take a picture and than another 2s to let you take another one?! it does it make any sense it looks like some sort of HDR mode is enabled in the background - at least that how it feels. On top of that you can't modify the shutter speeds either manually or by choosing scene mode. CRAP CAMERA!
Hello,
First of all, I'm sorry if this isn't the part of the forum that I should put this question on.
I want to change my phone, coming from a galaxy s2. I need your help, I can't decide if the LG G3 is enough of an upgrade or should I go for the galaxy S6.
Can you please tell me your experience with this phone? (gaming, battery life, photos, roms development)
I mostly use the phone for games, web browsing, music and some productivity apps.
So is LG G3 a good choice due to its price ? or I should go with an other phone? (HTC M8, Galaxy S6,...)
Thank you for taking the time to help me in my dilemma.
Go for the new M8s,it is the new updated version of the m8
I would not recommend the M8. Battery life for the G3 is decent..depends on the rom,kernel etc .
I am a high end user too. A lot of gaming mostly DH5, Darkness Reborn which are really battery draining games , web browsing etc and i can tell that battery hardly will last more than half a day.
Overall ,i am really satisfied with G3 after my set up (rom,kernel,mods).Amazing pictures with stock roms' cam .
G3 currently has many custom roms to choose from but i think its a little behind in the kernel section. Thanks the devs for all their efforts btw .
I cant say much for the galaxy S6 because i think its too early for anyone to have a whole-view opinion. Benchmarks tests show unbelievably good performance on the other.
Hope i helped you

Hello, thank you for answering. I do exactly the same thing with my phone, mainly gaming and web browsing. Why would you not recommend the M8? Is the G3 > M8 ? Can you elaborate on this?
Thank you again.
Hi, both devices are good, but there are big differences which will depend on you.
Screen size. G3>m8
Phone size. G3>m8 (g3 better screen ratio)
Lags. G3>m8 (m8 better).
Price. M8>G3.
I hope it helps.

Hi, I want to buy a new phone (after Xperia L) but I still can not decide which one - LG G2 or G3. I have several questions.
I love G3 for the new laser AF with faster focusing in general, this is the one thing for which I want this phone more than G2. But I am disappointed with battery life and mainly with cracking frame around IR or mic. I don't want to go every 3 months to service center for a new frame
Is this cracking issue still present in the last produced G3s?
Is the speed of focusing (or overall speed of camera in daylight and mainly in lowlight) improved in any camera mod (xaddab or other) on LG G2?
I read that there is some improvements, but I didn't find any stock vs. modded speed comparison. (Or LG G2 vs. G3 camera focusing comparison in lowlight)
Thanks.
Hi ... Owned them both kG2 20 december ... 14 february - G3 14feb ... Until now )
I like them both . about thwt crackin issue .. Idk when mine was produced i bouhht it old and it has that small crack where the upper mic is plased and another one in the same place the other side ...
Camera of pg G2 to me was perfect .. Compared by my slef with the Galaxy s4 and s4 beatet them both in low light ... But i never noticed that smt went wrong with focusin ...
Thanks Feizi. And did you feel any bigger differences in quality of taken photos when you bought LG G3 after G2?
Hahaha i forgot smt big... The front camera dude ... Althougt i loved lg g2 more then g3 even i still own the G3...front camera in lg g2is so low .. Once i found a front camera comparison somewehere ... ( lg g2nexus 5. Iphone 5s . note 3 . s4.. And lg g pro 2 . the lg g2 was always before the last which was nexus 5
I don't use front camera so much as main camera. This will be ok for me
Hi guys,
So my Xperia Z2 D6543 broke and I needed a new phone. Got the G4 H818P (on Lollipop 5.1) because of it's relatively bigger screen and the camera software.
So far, I've noticed a few things that I would like to ask you guys about.
Camera-wise:
- the camera has a lot of nice options, including manual focus. Is that focus from the camera hardware or it's emulated by software?
- On both jpeg and raw modes, the camera seems to blurry the edges of shapes too much. Is there a mod to sharpen those or even to get those pics better?
- About the low light noise (Xperia really did a good job if it wasn't for that DRM...), is there a way to improve low light post processing?
Android-wise:
- I've read that some people are on 6.0 already. Does LG have a PC software to update the phones or something?
- How difficult is to root the G4? Also, is unlocking the bootloader important enough to be done?
- About unlocking - does unlocking bootloader bring any problems such as seen with Sony mobiles and the loss of DRM?
Thanks for taking your time on helping a LG newbie!
There is no bootloader unlock as of yet. Except tmobile usa. And i believe h818 eur
Do not update to mm u will lose ability to root. In honestly u shoulda picked a diffrent phone for development. As for camera man mode the higher the iso is the less noise but the darker the pic. Ive managed to get a few wonderful night shots. But most are a little noisy. But some shots i get are worth it
Rooting involves uploading a rooted syatem image throught what is called download mode. Shut the phone off hold vol up the plug into pc.
The two star shots were using 2 diffrent iso settings and u can see the diffrence. Both were taken at about 11 at night 2nd star shot u can see no porch light. Neither had my porch light just the stock flash.
- focus is hardware on all cameras. There is no after effects focus processing on the G4.
- Not sure what you mean by this so post some pictures about blurry edges. This camera is sharp.
- low light the G4 goes into 'night shot' on its own. If you examine the exifs you will notice the shutter is 1/9 and ISO is missing. If you see that shutter without ISO that means it used night shot. In some situations where there isn't light in the scene this turns out pretty good, if there are lights in the scene it will blow them out. The fix is to go into manual and drop shutter to 1/4.
The MM update on the G4 is 6.0. Still waiting for 6.0.1.
Dual sims can't be boot loader unlocked yet, and since MM requires it just to root there is no root possible if you move to MM.
The only G4's that have boot loader unlocked are the Euro G4's H815. Not heard anything untoward when unlocking boot loader.
Wow, that was pretty complete! Thanks a lot!
Nice shots indeed!
Hi all,
I just received my G4 (H815), and I think the focus is slow. With a laser focus, I thought it will be really fast, but no...
Maybe I must use an other app ? But I don't found the google app to take pics...
However, my previous phone was a Oneplus X, the focus (phase detection) and pics recording was really really instantaneous, even in dark conditions...Maybe a laser focus is less good than a phase detection focus ?
By advance, thanks you.
Fred
