Hello XDA community. I want to make the switch to the Verizon LG G4 and I'm exploring the features. I have gotten use to this Verizon S4 and want to know a bit more. One example is... I use the video settings on my S4 to limit for mms, does the LG G4 support this? I use it alot. Any others made the switch from the S4 that are having feature withdrawls? I just want to have a phone that has most of the same features and I don't want the S6. I need that expandable storage and battery. Thanks for having me here, I love this site and have used it for every phone I've had. Keep up the good work!
Hey so I didn't have the Galaxy S4 but I did just make the jump up from the Verizon version of the Galaxy S3. So far I'm happy with my new purchase!
Pros:
Camera and the screen - both awesome. Top Notch.
Fits in the front pocket of my favorite jeans! This could have been a deal-breaker.
I really like the curvature of the phone, makes it easier to hold and fit in your pocket.
I feel like I'm getting a better Verizon signal, haven't tested nor measured yet though.
Cons:
Battery life isn't bad but could be better. At least I can swap out replacements!
No root yet ...
I really miss installing custom ROMS, especially CM12.1 since it was getting so good.
Have you looked at the settings in video? I want to know if you can limit for mms messaging
I came from a Galaxy S3.
There were some things I'd taken for granted on my S3, which were not found on my G4.
- On my S3, I could turn the volume down to just Vibrate. And one more click would then turn off Vibrate, keeping it completely silent. On the G4, the volume control only turns it down to Vibrate, but no further. The S3 also showed a notification-bar icon for vibrate-only, and for fully-muted. The G4 does not show icons like that, so a few times I forgot to turn the volume up, and left it on vibrate-only in the morning.
- It may be a Lollipop thing, but the battery graph no longer shows bars for whether WiFi, GPS, or the screen were on, as well as whether the phone was Awake. A friend's S6 shows the same behavior, so again, it may not be an LG vs Galaxy change.
- The S3 camera let me set resolution, and metering styles (like Spot, vs Center-Weighted). And you can limit the video length, as you mentioned. The G4 camera app is fixed at full-resolution, and does not let you set a metering mode, even in Manual mode, as far as I can tell. You cannot set size limits for videos. I think the lowest video resolution is 720.
I returned my G4 within my 14-day return period, due to issues with it running warm, and short battery life. I should have exchanged it earlier, as a number of people with those issues have reported that replacements were better for them. I may give it a few weeks and buy one again. I'm in a similar situation to you, except coming from an S3, and I want something with SD and removable battery. My next choice is the S5, but there's a lot to like about the G4, I'm hoping the teething issues are sorted out quickly.
I'm currently using my Galaxy S4 and just bought the G4 a week ago. I'll probably keep using my S4 until the G4 has root. I can't find any option to limit the video size for mms. The only options are UHD, FHD, HD and slo-mo. There are NO modes for things like HDR, Twilight, Fireworks, etc. for the camera either. Your only options are Auto, Panorama and dual. There is an option to turn HDR on or off, but it's for all pics.
I love the manual camera options, and I like the screen much more than my S4's screen but there's not much else that is better (or as good as) my S4. If we get root, I should be able to tweak things to my liking & the G4 should be as impressive as my S4. I'm used to having full control & flashing ROMs.
Hi!
I come from a S4, and it really worth it. You have better camera, screen, etc. Everything is better (except battery life, which is a bit bad right now). I have the phone since a week ago and I'm quite happy with it. I don't miss my S4 at all (except for root and things like that, but it's question of time)
I cant' answer to the mms question because I have never use it, but I don't think you can do that with the G4. But maybe there's an app for that?
Thank you for your help. I'm going into the store and playing with this thing before I make a decision. I guess a hands on experience will either make it or break it. I wish the S6 had a removable battery and SD card slot, or... offer up that 64GB version at verizon. I run into space problems as it is with my S4. I can't imagine not having an expansion option. Also, is it true that Verizon limited the expansion to 200GB on the G4 instead of the 2TB that LG gave it? Why oh why must these companies mess with a good thing? Sigh...
LG G4 !!
Having had the samsung galaxy s4, the G4 and more efficient lg .
Negative point at LG: the empty battery too quickly
@CrustyMcLovin and @RedOCtobyr
Could you please elaborate more on battery life of G4 compared to S3. According to Phonearena info, on stand-by only S3 lasts 2.5 times longer then G4. Is it really the case? Is the battery of G4 that poor?

Sorry I don't have any numbers just to share, just my anecdotal experiences.. in that regard Id say the G4 battery life is similar to that of my Galaxy S3. That isn't bad but it's just not nearly as good as the reported battery life from some of the newer flagship devices. Either way I gotta say that when people post that they get 5+ hours of screen-on time that it's hard to believe.
I don't expect hard number. Your "feeling" is OK Thx

I would agree with this summary.
I returned my G4, and have gone back to my S3 for now. The battery issues with the G4 got me paying more attention to the run-time on my S3.
It looks like I've had GSam installed since right after I got my S3 in December 2012. According to GSam, if I'm reading the page correctly, under "Averages Per Complete Charge", it says my Screen On Max is 2:15. Maybe meaning that I've never exceeded 2:15 of SOT? That doesn't seem very impressive at all, but I'd believe that number.
My signal at work varies. In some areas of the building I have no signal at all. So depending on where I'm spending time during the day, my battery can see a bigger drain. But nowadays, if I'm using the screen much at all, I typically try to put my S3 on the charger during the day, to avoid the battery sometimes getting low towards the end of the day. While I had my G4, I was finding similar behavior, I'd need to put it on the charger again at work. Mine was running warm, which probably didn't help.
The S3 is using a 2.5 year old battery, though, and the G4's battery is almost 50% bigger (3000 vs 2100). So seeing similar run-time was not impressive to me, on my particular G4.
Hey M5 user,
Could you provide your personal opinion on this device or probably a review, stating the pros and cons and expecting future updates and improvement.
So as to help me potential M5 buyer make the decision to purchase this phone.
Hello,
What? I thought you have it already
Here,
Best newly developed 21mp fastest camera, its true. The front 13mp camera is also awesome. You can use both cameras in one photo. You can say the camera is 2nd in line after the Z5 premium's camera. 4k video recording is awesome. If you are adding a memory card, get a very high speed memory card like samsung evo+ or Samsung Pro, which will help you take longer 4k videos, and the operations wont heat the device.
The brightness of the screen is very balanced. By adjusting the brightness from low to High, it wont loose any colors and contrast. just adjust according to your light conditions.
The sound(which is not specified anywhere on the official website) is best, like other premium Xperias.
Bluetooth, WiFi, network very fast.
Calling experience is awesome. You wont hear any surrounding disturbances through the microphone.
There are a some preloaded apps like Kindle, Linkedin etc that you will have to remove if you dont use.
The battery drain is an issue. We will have to wait for root unlocking of the boot loader and take total control over it. But the Stamina mode is awesome. just drains 1/2% or 1% of battery over night in stamina mode. It didn't even allow Google Play Services to load in the background. Then there is a Ultra Stamina mode which disables more features so seriously that it has to restart the phone when you deactivate it. It comes with the same 850mah charger that came with the old phones like xperia Tipo. You will need to get fast charger if you dont want to wait for 3.5 hours for charging(from 0% to 100%). Even a small portable power bank cuts down the charging time to less than 2.5 hours.
Good thing is they are no more selling our privacy to Facebook. They have pre-installed Facebook but it is removable, and no other facebook junk apps and widgets. If you remove facebook, make sure you also disable the 'Xperia for Facebook' background process.
Well if this is your budget, then xperia M5 is best for you. or else get z5 for much higher budget.
Will let you know after finding out more goodies in it.

Thank you Ketansa for sharing, i experienced lag when taking photo with the demo unit. Please advise do you still encounter it when taking photo using your device.
If you are coming from Samsung I think the camera can be considered laggy, I come from Nexus 5, so the camera experience is much better for me on this phone. And with the 1.33 update, the PDAF seems more consistent. So I am overall happy with the camera, there's some flare issue though which I need to test more. There's too much haze around this area now so I don't have a good way to test the camera.
I am also trying out to figure out the battery issue manually. I have:
1. Whatsapp
2. Hangouts
3. LG G Watch
4. WiFi always on
5. Mobile Data Always on
Then I turned off/uninstalled the following:
1. Facebook
2. Facebook Messenger
3. Google Fit
4. Google Now
5. Location History
6. Auto-Sync (I only enable this when charging).
Quite happy with the battery, I will still have like 60% battery after 14 hours off charger, with around 1.5 hours screen on time.
Going to try re-enabling the stuffs one by one and see which one is the real battery drain.
what about shutter lag?

Hello,
No absolutely non-laggy in the final product. And it is the fastest among other brands that I have checked.
There is a new update. It solves the battery issue.
Also turn off the Android System WebView (its a resource and battery hog), you will see much difference.
Shutter lag is still there, for me, before and after the update to 1.33. Basically if you are moving, or the subject is moving, the photo is definitely not taken at the point you press and release the shutter, there's at least a 1 second delay.
More questions, it have support to OTG?,HDMI wired?Stereo speakers?,sound improvements like SDEE,xloud,clear phase,S-force.?.,image improvents like Bravia2,x-reality?,have front flash and dual rear flash ?Antutu Score?
Is the DSEE HX present? Possible to play high resolution audio?
I just brought the phone to repair as I am not able to charge the phone after using it for 2 weeks, the service center help changing hardwares in 3 days (good service), but the whole log of goods seem to have hardware issues, as the CS whisper (loud enough to let me hear) to herself that she getting many users complaint on mobile failures.
Battery have heat issue while charging and discharging imo.
Algebra the Bard
I have the phone for a week and here's my impressions:
My older phone was xperia z2 (it was stolen, that's why i have a m5 now) and seems to me the m5 is quite fast, has a better screen than z2, speakers are louder and the rear camera is obviously great.
The only thing worse comparing to z2 is the battery. But for me the battery phone handles a full day.
After the Z1 and Z2 I can just say I love the M5. I mean, at that price, IP68, fast and fluid, awesome cameras, stylish etc... why go again for a much more expensive Z Series? for the 0,25ms faster shutter and fingeprint reader? Really?
Only downside I see right now is the low participation of Custom Rom ...

Wait a few months and developers will eventually find themselves here.
the kernel of M5 is open sourced, so anyone can do a custom kernel (TWRP)

Hi,
in this thread we can talk about new model from Oukitel, it is about K6000 Pro. Most important is that they have put much greater attention to the quality of the phone, also it has much more powerful hardware than the previous model like 3GB of RAM. but certainly the most important feature is the high capacity battery with 6000 mAh capacity.

very good.. at least 8/10 hours of screen on time with heavy use!
My Unboxing & First Look (Italian Language comment)
In Cons i can add:
- No backlighted soft touch keys
- No 64 bit Android version
- Usb connector is a bit deeper inside tge frame, so standard cables couldn't works well with quick charge or data transfer
- No Compass and No Gyro
[emoji106]
nice reviews people
Camera has a very poor perfomance. Rom is 32 bits (seems a port of 5.1 K6000 rom).
I have mine for two weeks.
I think that K6000 'original' runs better.
mine arrived yesterday: great build overall but as first impression it becomes really hot when you try to play at games
Camera color shift
Hi, please, I would like to ask you shortly. Camera on my Oukitel K6000 Pro has some kind of issue. As well as on my Bluboo Xtouch, it shows some color deviation aroud the borders of taken image. At specific circumstances in the middle, there is the circle which looks to represent colors correctly and outside of that circle the color is shifted to blue. Both phones behaves the same. In some cases its not that visible, in some its dramatic. Im not sure whether its fault of some picture profiles/scene profiles, or its fault of optical elements. .
Then, the display color is pretty cold. It would deserve some correction. Can I somehow tweak it? Calibrate it to look more natural. Or can you suggest some color correction app with low battery drain?
Otherwise I am very satisfied and pleased by the phone. Really balanced in allways, well constructed phone.
Thank you for help guys.
Mike
I have just figured out that there is an earlier K6000 Pro thread on XDA, so please use that one instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen.../oukitel-battery-beasts-k6000-k10000-t3279075

Have you fixed the wifi bug? I am on the latest rom and noted the wifi was always running. The issue is with background scanning. If you have background scanning on and turn wifi off, wifi never actually stops running. All you need to do is disable background scanning on the wifi page and you will be good to go.
low score
the score from Antutu is too low, looks like the performace will not good. Just hear that bluboo release a new phone Maya max, which looks great, and im looking forward to try it.
One question
Anybody can please tell me if long pressing the home butto bnrings to google now and if the function "now on tap" works?
Thanks
How to show open apps in oukitel k6000 pro?
Hi guys,
I just purchased this phone and it actually blew away my expectations with such low price and all nice features incl huge battery. Pokemon Go apps known to drain battery pretty fast but this phone can hold it very well. I don't need to charge for entire day.
Now to the issue. My old phone is Samsung Galaxy S4. Now if I wish to switch from apps to apps just like tab button in laptop/PC, I simply press home button for 2 seconds and it will show all open apps. I simply choose the apps I want to jump to and walla! it opened. Now the same result can't be achieved with Oukitel K6000 pro. Pressing home button longer simply bring me to google search.
Question is how to show open apps and switch between opened apps in this phone? Do we have luxury in setting the function of buttons to our liking?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Ricky

hey guys,
i am planning to buy a new phone, i am confused between the Oneplus 3T and Nubia Z11
they are priced the same in India
i kinda like the design of the Nubia Z11 and the fact that it has bezel less display and IR sensor.
But i dont know if the phone has hardware/software issues.
Hows your experience so far with the phone?
Is it worth considering this phone?
thanks in advance!

Both of them are great phones but I would choose nubia because of IPS screen, i have bad experience with AMOLED.
The main issues are the NFC (completely not working) and quick charge (international ROM-only 2 Amps input).
I have Nubia Z11. Hardware difference is almost not important for these 2 models. At least for me. Because they are both powerful devices. I do not have any hardware issue. I don't know if Oneplus get andrid 7 update but as i know Nubia is not going to have soon. Both phone has nice UI with practical gestures. One plus has better fast charge performance, but fast charge shortens the life of the battery.
If i were you i would choose Z11 because of it's design, camere without a bump and bezelless screen.
I tested my nubia Z11 with quickcharge 2.0 charger. Phone has 1.54 latest Chinese rom. Unfortunately phone does not get quick charge. It takes only 5V 1.45 A. So Nubia Z11 doesn't support real quickcharge. I asked to Nubia about this. I'll post the answer here.

5V 1.45A is for basic, non quick charge charges.
I have replied to you post in root/xposed thread. Quick charge is supported, but it is very limited to only 9 W of charging power. Some values: 9V 1A (ZTE QC2.0 charger), 6.2V 1.49A (nubia original charger), 6V 1.6A (LeEco QC3.0. 24 W charger).
Tested on two International Z11's with v1. 15 rom.
Tested with keweisi charger doctor.
I had 9V 1.5A on my previous device ZTE AXON Elite on all chargers.
thanks for the suggestion guys @martas.vavra @TeslaTR
i bought the Nubia Z11 and it got delivered today by Amazon India
i had a query, how fast does your phone charge with the stock charger? mine is charging at a speed of 30% per hour with display off and utorrent active in the background. is it the same for you guys? does background downloading slow down the charging speed?
how fast does your phone charge to full?
thanks in advance!

I tested my nubia Z11 with quickcharge 2.0 charger. Phone has 1.54 latest Chinese rom. Unfortunately phone does not get quick charge. It takes only 5V 1.45 A. So Nubia Z11 doesn't support real quickcharge. I asked to Nubia about this. I'll post the answer here.

Did nubia reply to your charging time query?
Yes, they replied. As the fact that my voltage test device doesn't support fast charge. I bought a new one. I'll test with it when it comes.
This is the reply of Nubia:
"Hi,
Christmas grettings!!
Please kindly know the following points.
1) The quick charge won't activate when the power is shotage or over 90%.
2) Please dial *#8604# command and enter Charger test, notice that USB_HVDCP_3(QC3.0), USB_HVDCP(QC2.0), USB_DCP(quick charge doesn't activate)
3) The way you are using to test quick charge figure is not accurate(a circuit is connected in series), moreover, what decide the speed of charging is the input power of battery rather than output power of charger.
In summary, please recognize if the quick charge of your phone is activate through point 2).
Best regards"
I charged my phone with quickcharge 2.0 device and saw the USB_HVDCP(QC2.0) in test mode.

I don't actually understand the 2nd point mate.
Do they mean to say USB_HVDCP_3(QC3.0) will show "acitve" when connected with QC 3.0 charger?

Yes. If you see USB_HVDCP_3 this means device is charging with QC3 that moment. You can easily try it.
Hey, I'm interested in getting a nubia z11, anybody know a good place to get one, preferably in EU?
which rom?
I just ordered my Nubia Z11 from aliexpress. I've always used android stock rom via cyanogenmod so using a skinned rom will be new for me.
How is the international Nubia Z11 stockrom? What features would I lose/gain by installing LineageOS or Resurrection remix instead of the Nubia rom?
Im trying to get used to not have xposed installed so a feature packed rom would be a benefit.
Thanks for your tips.

International Stock rom is very feature rich. You would lose the edge gestures i suppose in lineage or on other roms like RR.
This is one of the best looking phones (black - gold) in the world, but it`s more good looking than actually good. Especially the camera is an absolute mess: It sucks despite all the hype they made about it, and it sucks really bad. It needs PERFECT conditions to deliver a decent shot, otherwise you will almost always get an ugly mess. Either it won`t focus (forget point and shoot with this one), and even when it focuses, the edges up to almost half the picture will be blurry. Also, there`s tons of noise even in daylight and HDR shots are sometimes not properly denoised at all. Speaking about HDR: It will almost always give your pic a strong purple tint. If you think you can fix everything with the manual mode - not with this one: Shoot in manual and the photo will often lack almost all the colour. Even the Z9 which also had that blurred edge problem had a much better overall camera than this one.
Than we have: Weak mobile internet signal, no notifications at all in 1.56 (china) and 1.20 (international), lags in the 6gb version (strangely not in the 4gb) and many other annoying things. I`ve had the Z9 a year ago and it had exactly the same problems which are still not fixed, despite all the useless updates they throw out every 15 - 30 days. Than i had the 4gb Z11 in october and sold it mainly because of the camera. Now i found the 6gb very cheap (370€) and thought i`ll give it another try, but they didn`t fix anything and they probably won`t. I will not buy a Nubia device ever again. For that money, you can easily get a better phone than this.

Interesting, I don't really care that much about the camera, I just like the way it looks.
Mind telling me where you found the 6gb nubia for 370?

I was lucky to find one that is just 3 weeks old from a private seller.
Hey mate, I have a question but I cant find anywhere to post so I go here and ask. What is your experience Z11 when using this as your daily phone. Have you ever had any problems? And could you please give me some Pros and Cons about this phone? Thanks and have a nice day!
Hi guys,
Just sold my iPhone 6s Plus to come back to Droid.
During IFA in Berlin I felt in love with this Sony but many reviews are saying around the net: battery sucks, camera focus slow, in-call audio and music audio too low.
Can someone that got this phone give me some hint about this topic?
p.s. I can take it for about 270 like new.

Hi there, I recently got my XA1 Ultra after owning the Xperia X for just over a year and before that I owned a Xperia Z2 for 2 years. The X was a premium mid ranger and really did like it, but could of been a lot better. Jumping ship to XA1 Ultra felt slightly weird (bigger screen and mediatek chipset) as the colours don't look as intense as they were on my X, as for the battery I have had some great sessions from the XA1U and I personally think that this is down to the Helio P20 being very efficient on the battery.
Make sure you don't have Facebook installed as this can be battery heavy (kills my battery on my X) and I also use Greenify to force close apps that are running in the background to save battery. I have also installed Battery Care from Sony which records your charging pattern and will charge upto 90% and hit 100% at the time you 'wake up' etc.
As for the camera I can't say I have used it a lot but have used it now and then, I believe it uses the same rear module from the Z5 (I may be wrong but sure a fellow user told me this). As always many camera can struggle in low light but this camera seems to try and overcome that which is quite good, also let's not forget the awesome front flash!
As for in call audio I've had absolutely no problems with this whatsoever, as for the music audio being too low I've listened to a few of my tracks on the single speaker built into the phone and it's not the best but it's fairly decent considering there is only one speaker...
My only concerns at the moment I think are software based:
1) Sound can go 'tinny' like for 5 seconds or so and revert back to normal (you can really notice it and happens a lot)
2) Sometimes when waking the device the screen won't wake therefore you will have to wait 10 seconds or so or continuously press the power button.
3) SystemUI has crashed on me a few times, but it's not regular but I have seen elsewhere other people suffering from the same problem.
4) When installing a downloaded APK from third party site i.e. APK Mirror, when you go to install and it offers to press next or cancel, it won't let you press next therefore you can't install the APK. You have to restart the device and then the next button will work.
Sent from my Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra using XDA Labs
Just took it today and it seems awesome!
Sometimes its a Little bit slow opening apps or switching apps...maybe is gonna be better with oreo...
Camera battery and audio really Good
Thanks for your Great opinions
