I noticed my phone every once and a while got pretty hot. Heat causes hardware to wear down and drain battery. So here's a cooling mod!
Notice! This will mostly have a impact and show its difference when your phone is getting hot when doing heavy tasks.
Here's idle temp before.

First thing to do is tear the phone apart...
Take off this weird felt sticker on the IO shield
Take off the IO shield. Its not soldered on and held in by clips.
There's a piece of tape over the internal storage. Remove it.
Cut a square out of the insulation tape for the SoC and Internal storage.
Spread some thermal paste on the IO shield where you cut out the squares.
Put the IO shield back on. Before you put it back on you might want to mark where those squares are on the other side of the shield.
Where you marked the squares on the other side, put some thermal paste.
Reassemble the phone and enjoy!
My temps after!
Thanks to Cody for stock before temps.

I ordered this case without trying it out. The dimensions said that the G-Pad will fit with 1mm to spare on top and bottom. When I got it, the tablet did not fit quite as well as I expected - I could stuff it in there against the foam liner and close the case, but it required some effort and did not feel like the seal would work well.
I decided to modify the case with a Dremel.
You can see the results in the photos below - it doesn't look pretty, but it fits the tablet very well. There is a relatively thin amount of padding on the top and bottom, but it is still decent, and the tablet should not sustain any damage if it falls, in my opinion. There is still some space on the left/right, so it moves a bit, but there is a good amount of padding so I'm not too worried about it.
Overall, if you're looking for a tough/waterproof case, this is a great option if you don't mind 5 minutes of work to make it fit. This mod can also be done with a box cutter if you don't have a Dremel.
Well... i don't like most of the backcovers, except the one of Nexus5. So i started to think about, how to create my own LG-G4 Backcover.
I went to the local skate shop, where i buyed a piece of skate tape, and here is what i did:

It takes some time to get pleasent in your hand, though.
But it will bring some really cool advantages:
It will stick almost everywhere (car seat, sofa, bed, pocket, ...)
Pickpockets will have no chance.
You will be forced, to lay down your phone gently, in case of scratches on your table
Always a cornea rasp with you. :highfive:
diy-Tips:
Cut an oversized piece for your back cover.
Don't forget the speaker hole in case it's a grid, and on the back side (e.g. LG G4), and cut this first.
Point in your cutted out speaker hole first, then the rest.
Use a hair-dryer to tie the tape over edges.
Cut off overhangs, camera, led, ...
Cheers
So I had my lg g3 started flickering suddenly, I didn't know what to do. this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9SqLlDOU1E
After a little research I found this solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y12XCmAYTbw
I tried it and it worked fine for now(a week passed).
but since i have done the paper thing, my wifi signal is very low, even when my router I very close to me.
Any knows how to fix it? maybe change the placment of the paper?
Thanks.
Put a piece of folded paper between processor and body. Make sure paper push the processor and the size of folded paper nearly same as processor, so pressure on full processor not only at one point and put a small piece of folded paper on camera connector. May be it will solve your problem. Good Luck [emoji106]

Since I don't have a warranty anymore (small crack on screen) and the phone had some hits on corners, thought why not peal the paint off? And voila. Say hello to my chrome-ish friend :laugh:
Not an easy task...it is a wax on wax off mr Miyagi task.

Nice! How did you do it?
U
Sandpaper and nail sandpaper. And a lot of scrubbing. Need to cover camera and flash and screen. Pay attention to the buttons. Lost some of the power button thickness.
You can put the HTC Logo again with a CO2 laser
What about the antennas

Click to expand...

I didn't covered them. They turned up very good.
Now get something like Semi-Chrome polish and remove the surface scratches. The stuff is designed for firearms and stainless steel things like motorcycle exhausts and so forth. It will really smooth that up nice(er).
And of course, cover the screens and camera again.
Looks good though.
I like to handle my phone using one hand, but because of really thin case edges and curved screen I constantly get unwanted touch events on screen sides where palm touch it unavoidably. Problem almost never reproduce if phone case put on, but thing is, with case this huge phone gets even bigger and that's unacceptable for me.
I'm willing to sacrifice touch sensitivity on screen sides so I can grip phone firmly in one hand.
Is there any way to set dead zone on touchscreen sides (i.e. outside of red lines on pic), so any touch there is ignored systemwide?

I'm using LineageOS 19 (Android 12) on OnePlus 9 Pro btw.
Same setup. Same question.
yeah, I don't think so.. I also have the problem. I solved it by using a case that is thick enough on the sides. This way I don't have this problem any more.
