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, 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.

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.

The only reason you bought the phone was for the SD card slot?
Buggy? Have you read reviews? Are you on a rom or stock? You must either have a junk phone or you must be doing something to it.

I am on the stock rom; never rooted. The first bug I had was that notifications I would apply in the stock calendar app wouldn't stay as I set them. The second bug I've had that's never been fixed is that it takes about 10 full seconds for the brightness to auto adjust; in fact it's ruining some of my vids/pics if my thumb covers the sensor by the front speaker. Another bug I have is that when I rotate the phone it often doesn't rotate (yes I've calibrated) then I have to rotate it back and forth to get it to go.
All that said I didn't mean to offend you hard core fans. I've had a lot of different Android phones and this one is decent enough. I've had to factory reset like 3 times to see if the problems go away....they do not. The notification sound not setting was fixed by the last update though. I may have a lemon but unfortunately it's not messed up enough that I can justify a replacement. It's slightly annoying all the time, and very annoying at other times; and that's when I factory reset and install back the exact same apps so I can't blame them.

Hi all, for those of you interested, here you are my thoughts and final review on the LG Optimus G.
I do really think this is a very good device with great potentials and some few flaws. The worst negative thing of this device, IMHO of course, it's the time to market, at least here in EU. This device back in November could have been one of the best. Right now it has some very strong competitors, maybe too strong to be on par. Just my two cents.

I have moved from Galaxy Nexus to Optimus G before 8 days. First rooted with motochopper, after that it was unlocked and I have installed TWRP recovery with freegee. Next I installed CM 10.1. Because of some problems with CM10 unofficial, i am now back to stock rom, but rooted, unlocked and with TWRP. First, I am enthusiastic about the phone. Great performance and greater design in my opinion. But the chrome frame around the front - on the left upper edge, the silver coating got cracks! The phone never dropped or something like this. Does anyone have the same problem, that the silver coating of the frame take turns? Actually, I wouldn't like to complain this, however, if this failure is no exception, I must probably resign myself to it.

Mhhh....it's the upper left edge the part of the device to touch you when you have the optimus g in your belt pocket and you sit down anywhere...just curious.
Anyway, I haven't read anything like this yet.
No, thats not the case. The damaged edge is free from touching something. Maybe the cause is a kind of tension on the housing. I will further observe this.
Optimus G is one awesome mobile and its worth buyin than sgs3....its performance, display, ram nd design attractd me..... But im worried abt batry backup which is not upto expectation....!!...

First, I have to say that the battery of my E975 is really great. Best of all android devices I have ever had. But today morning, after two hours in my pocket, there was only about 70 % battery left and the temperature was about 38 degrees. I was wondering and have installed betterbatterystats. There I was able to see two kernel wakelocks that ate all my power: sns_async_ev_wakelock and sns_periodic_wakelock. My search proved the following thread: sns_async_ev and sns_periodic wakelock?. There ist a lot of stuff to read about in the Nexus 4 section. After reading, I disabled all syncs and rebooted the device. Until now, all seems to be normal and I have little battery draining. A few days ago it seems that I have had a draining problem but I have not investigated why. I will observe it the behaviour in the next time. Rom is rooted stock 10D.

Hi guys.
I own a G3 32GB International/Unlocked from about a week or so. At first I ran the 4.4.2 stock firmware, until two days ago I was prompted to install the v20e lolipop update, stock too. At first it seemed a bit laggy, especially in the home screen. Yesterday I performed a factory reset, and so far, with half of the apps I used to have, it seems to be working a bit better, hopefully. [That's a brief intro just in case, lol]
So, onto the matter. A couple of hours ago I noticed some static noise coming from the back of my phone, mainly around the power/volume buttons. I hear it when I bring the phone close to my ear, otherwise I don't. When the screen is off, it's either way too quiet, gone at all, or there's a slight repetative clicking sound(maybe from the camera but I kind of doubt that). But my main concerns are when the screen is on - that's when the noise is louder and constant(still have to bring my phone to the ear to hear it, though). Furthermore, whenever I do something on the screen - i.e. sliding, opening an app, etc. - I start hearing this "working mechanism" sound(I couldn't think of a better way to describe it atm), until I stop doing anything - then it just resumes to the constant static noise. My question is - is this harmful to the device? If so, what do I do? Should I worry about this? Has anyone else experienced this "working mechanism" sound when using the phone? What have they done to fix it, if they have?
P.S. - The last thing I remember doing before I noticed the noises is copying most of my old photos and music from my PC to the internal storage. Around 1-2 gigs.
P.P.S. - The sound sliiiiightly resembles a hard drive I think.

Hardrive-type squeal/whir from back of G3
I'm having the same issues!
I have a very sensitive ear so my LG G3 is giving me a headache at the moment.
My phone is brand new--it has been out of the box for a few days, got a full charge, was activated/powered on Dec. 24th at around 11:30pm. So it's been in use less than 2 days. I have hardly any software/apps aside from stock installed at the moment.
I did install two apps this morning before the noise started, so they might be the main cause.
The sound is very much like a tiny hard drive, so I'm thinking maybe one or both of the new apps are running in the background and beating up the poor phone. Just not sure if this is normal for the G3 or not?
Right now I'm having trouble putting up with the sound while typing so I hope there is a way to quiet it down
Hope this helps. I owned my g3 for a few months now. When i first got it. Ive heard the noise. It dosent bother me tho. But that sounds like the cpu going. Then again coud be the ssd. So far i have not had any issues with the phone

Nope. All's running good so far, God bless. Guess the noise is just the processor working or something like that, it's still here.
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app
Highly unlikely it's the processor.
What it could be is a loose capacitor. If it became unsoldered or if it lost some of the soldering, it can vibrate under stress and create noise. See with other G3 phones, if you don't hear it on others - send yours in for warranty repairs.

as for your answer yes the phone was working fine. as for the antenna went bad i think i know what caused it. just keep your phone away from strong magnets. my laptop has a few of those cause itwas working an hour ago when i tried to use it
After root came out for G4 i never heard that unlocked bootloader came out. Im looking through the threads, but most are old or got off topic, so to keep it simple
Is there unlocked bootloader for VZ G4 yet?
No
We don't even have a fully working phone..People with 12a has broken WiFi notifications and people without it have touch screen issues.
^^ So much this. It's depressing.
Read somewhere that a lot of first batch phones have faulty circuit boards, that's what is causing the issues. I'm still on 10b and wanted to hold out for the bootloader unlock, but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen anytime soon. Might bite the bullet and try to do a warranty replacement through LG so I get a new phone vs a certified pre owned from Verizon...

X's three, mine seems to be doing fine but when I download an app from xposed and reboot it, it takes hours to load when I reboot. I don't know if I can attribute that toward this issue.

How are you rebooting -- selecting reboot from the power menu? My reboot lag was resolved once I stopped selecting reboot and just shut down the phone entirely then used the power button to turn it back on. No idea why that worked, but it worked for someone else here at XDA too, so it's worth a shot.
Advice Please:
I have a G3 with PacMan ROM and it's freaking sweet. However, my infrared/camera (which I use hundreds of times/day for work) is not working when I shoot certain types of materials (works on leather, blurs on cloth now). I was planning on just waiting to get the G4 when more ROMs were out. However, now I'm rushed to pull the trigger. So here's my question:
I want to not activate my new G4, but use it for work over wi-fi and continue to use my G3 for everything else (calls/texts). Since I had to order my G4 to get more GB, the Verizon rep is telling me that I can have the G4 and keep my service on the G3. However, they will need to 1) Activate the G4/Deactivate G3, 2) Deactivate G4/Reactivate G3. Will I have any problems reactivating my G3 since it's rooted and ROMmed? Will this cause any problems with Verizon? Will they even notice?
Also, If I'm able to do this... Can I go ahead and root/Rom the inactivated G4 and activate it once a satisfactory ROM is out (and installed on it)?
I know this is complex and doesn't do many people much good, so MANY THANKS to whoever lends a hand!!!!!
I hate being in this predicament... If only we lived in a world where all the ROMs were available to all carriers within the first month of release... if only... LOL

Yes, you can activate the G4 and go back to the G3, even with root. When you activate the G4 make sure you go through the setup process before you pull the Sim and install the Sim back into the g3. Wifi will work on the G4 without the Sim at that point. Done it many times.

I'll second this... As I just did it lol. I bought my G4 back in October and used it for a week then went back to my G3 while waiting for some more development to happen. I'm back on the 4 now. Jumping back and forth works fine.

I juump from ZTE Moto E prepaid G3 and the G4. works fine with a good standing sim.
Thanks so much for the help!
To push it a step further... Could I Root/Rom the new G4, and then return it back to Verizon in my 2 week trial period without any alarms going off? Would I just need to un-root and flash stock Rom before returning?
The guys at the Verizon store are so oblivious to android development that I wouldn't be surprised if they took a rommed and rooted G4 back without realizing it!
Unfortunately I don't think we have any roms for our verizon g4 and most likely will never have more than stock based unless someone unlocks the boot loader or comes up with another bump and I think they've about given up trying which really sucks cuz I have 2 of then lol

Grim news...
I'm stuck with Verizon since I use a company phone. What's the best Verizon phone that has sufficient ROM options?

Well I put it like this, I have 2 g4's and 2 days ago traded one for a g3 vs985 and I'm still in utter shock at how much this g3 blows those g4 outta the water in every single aspect and I've tested this thing balls out non stop and I hated lollipop and marshmallow until now that I'm running resurrection remix 6.0.1..rooting and custom recovery were a single click each and all I had to do was flash a 35b bootstack and modem to get mm running. I can't stress highly enough how much you'll regret getting rid of the g3 cuz there isn't very much to advance to with Verizon for a modder like us. The way they lock down their phones is just evil and the g3 is a rare miracle for a Verizon device. Have you done a lot of flashing yet on your g3?

That's what I was afraid of, thanks for confirming my suspicions! I have been using the PACMAN ROM for over a year now! Which ROMS do you recommend? Also note: I'm just good enough to root and flash. I've never messed with kernels or anything else.
I've run into a few quirks with my PACMAN ROM, nothing serious though (except for my camera not focusing as well anymore). Maybe a new ROM is just the change I need!
THANKS

Man on the g3 there's more Roms than I can begin to find a good start, hell I just started going down the list on Android File Host just search vs985 and there's over 400 files to start with. A good tip is to get a copy of each Android version's bootstack, modem, and kernal zips on XDA or you'll get updater script errors from the base band being off. Most likely you'll only have to stick with the latest version cuz most people go up in Android versions, not me I'm all over the place and still consider JB and kk the best and my personal favorite. But the Dirty Unicorns mm rom has really stepped up and cool as hell , especially the unique nav bar. If you run into problems finding the right bootstacks PM me and I'll hook you up

Oh yea a new ROM changes everything but unfortunately I doubt the Verizon g4 will ever have much ROM action and I'd burn my g4 before I would my g3 without hesitation lol
