LG G7 ThinQ Overheating? - LG G7 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Hello all,
I finally got my G7 ThinQ replaced yesterday and got it all set up.. I used it today and one of the things I noticed is over heating. Anyone else experience this? Attaching screenshots to see. The photos with Twitter on it shows the temperature at the top left by the clock.

The sides are definitely uncomfortable. Not to the point of burning, but enough that I can hold the phone without repositioning. I thought that it was just me.

It's not just you. I am having this issue too. I wanted to exchange it again but I'm tried of doing that. Im sure there will be an update to fix this.

Today looks to be a little better

Does it actually "feel" hot? Mine hasn't shown any signs of this at all. Just using Twitter etc is enough to trigger it?

Yes it feels hot. Using YouTube or Spotify in the background, while checking Twitter or xda. It got hot.

What would you expect? Your phone's on LTE not on WiFi, of course it must be hot when moving bytes over network. And 62°C isn't too hot temp for CPU. Over 80°C is when it'll start to minimize frequency

Do you run in on WiFi? That way it won't get hot, at least as much hot as if on LTE

I just returned it and they gave me a new one so I never found out. Was a bit nervous as I had an unlocked bootloader etc but they never checked.

HI, I see that you mentioned that you unlocked your bootloader. I hadn't yet heard of an exploit? This is a deciding factor for me in switching over to this device. Can you shed a little light on the exploit that you used? Is it publicly available? Did you get a device that already had the bootloader unlocked?(doesn't sound like it because otherwise I doubt you would fear them having an issue with it). Which devices is the exploit available for?(int, att, tmo, etc) Tha:good:nks in advance

No, it didn't help. Nothing helped. There was obviously something hardware wise that was broken. The only thing I can think that did it was that I was messing around in the developer options with GPU rendering soon before it happened. Incidentally on my 2nd replacement handset I had a few what looked like screen glitches, the screen almost flashed off and on a few times. I put that down to using the nomone resolution app when it happened.

[Q] Noise coming from the back of the phone

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

New Verizon G4 owner (VS98625A) intro and question.

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.

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.

Guys I have made this thread specifically to address or review issues we are or will face on our G5 plus.
(OP will be modify accordingly as more issues are found)
First issue.
VoLTE connectivity issues??
Not really sure about these issues but some of the guys are facing weird issues regarding VOLTE when using only one sim on 1st sim slot. Are you guys facing anything like this?
I am referring to this:-https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G5-Moto-G5-Plus/Moto-G5-Plus-VoLTE-issues/m-p/3610582
Solution:-Issue seems to be fix by first inserting any other carrier sim in slot 1 and register it on network than by replacing with JIO.
2nd Issue.
Guys I have come to know that under specific lighting conditions there's some visible horizontal lines all over display is seen for some guys here.

In my case during normal use no issues. Yes during gaming it does get warm but not hot. The temperature always remain around 40°C while gaming. And yes you are correct due metallic back the whole back surface may feel warm since metal dissipate the heat to keep the Cpu cool.
If your device gets temperature around 45°C then its getting heated up.

Yes bro don't worry it won't be the case as G4+. Don't panic if your device temp goes around 40 the Soc inside is the best midrange all-rounder. Be happy and use it. This device is just awesome and development are gonna come soon, thanks to squid2.

HDR Yellow Tint

Hey folks,
I just got my Mi10T today. Pretty happy with it so far. But there seems to be an issue. Whenever I try to play an HDR video either through Youtube or Netflix the screen automatically turns yellow. I tried changing color settings but nothing seems to work. Does anyone else face this issue? Should I return the device? Or is it a software issue?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/100EV5Rv_h5LuD92Wb1YwhvSrFfqlIved/view?usp=sharing
Edit: Updated with a link to a video showing the issue. Although it isn't as clear on the video, you can clearly see how colors change in real life it's much worse there is an ugly yellow tint. I reset the phone twice to see if that fixes the issue but it doesn't.
Same here, i think it s a software bug.

Could you tell me what version of miui you are on and the region? This issue mainly seems to be on devices with Indian MIUI rom.
Look at the display section of this review of mi 10t pro from India and you will see the yellow tint compared to other devices. In real life, it's much worse.

Hey man, just a quick ask since it is related to display.
Do you guys happen to have a bit of a yellow tint at the bottom of the screen?

Noticed this today actually. It's very slight and only noticable on a white background or while using chrome.

Yes, that is exactly what im experiencing at the moment. Hopefully its just a software problem. I took it back to Xiaomi centre and opened a new box, apparently the same.:crying:
Yea I doubt it's software lol.

I doubt it's software. Guess it's the risk we take buying early versions of a new phone. It's only noticable if you really look for it.

So I was looking at the yellow tint again. This phone has some really weird viewing (tilting up and down) angles and depending on the angle the yellow tint seems to look less worse.
I'm wondering if it's the pre applied screen protector that's causing the weird effects. I ordered some tempered glass protectors so when I get them and take off the pre installed one, I'd check to see.

Hey folks,
I just got my Mi10T today. Pretty happy with it so far. But there seems to be an issue. Whenever I try to play an HDR video either through Youtube or Netflix the screen automatically turns yellow. I tried changing color settings but nothing seems to work. Does anyone else face this issue? Should I return the device? Or is it a software issue?

Edit: Updated with a link to a video showing the issue. Although it isn't as clear on the video, you can clearly see how colors change in real life it's much worse there is an ugly yellow tint. I reset the phone twice to see if that fixes the issue but it doesn't.

Doing this definitely removes the "yellow tinting" in HDR but it also absolutely destroys the details in dark areas.
I think that's intended. HDR is supposed to be viewed as close as possible to the creator's intent. If you go to your TV and turn on the "cinema" or "movie" preset you'll see that the image turns warmer and yellowish and that's intended to be like that since the rest of the modes tend to abuse of the blue component of "white" to get more perceived brightness. Maybe the phone changes to this "movie" mode automatically for HDR to get closer to a neutral and calibrated preset.
