Brightness issue - low maximum brightness compared to other G3's

this is the main reason i am selling this device and considering another android device instead.
i went to 2 different stores and compared maximum brightness level in the same menu (100% both)
and my D855 (32GB) seem to be darker (very noticeable) near any other G3...
i am just tired from this device and i already had my device fixed in warranty because lens glass was cracked (in my pocket most likely)
did anyone else noticed this issue?

Dim Screen 238

My Euro LGG3 was fine 100% brightness until I updated to the latest OTA and now its limiting it from 255 full brightness to 238. My suspicion is that LG have seen people complaining about the terrible battery and have auto reduced the brightness to make the battery stats better. I have tried using Lux and this works initially but the problem comes back after reboot even with the Lux set to start on Boot. Its such a shame I updated Grr

You might have a vad display. Lg uses different display manufacturers and some of those displays are dimmer than others. You should get a warranty return though.

[Q] Does the LG G3 have a back button LED light like the G2?

Hello may I know, does any of you using LG G3 have any led light around the power button?
Like the previous generation of the LG G2, G PRO 2 and G FLEX?
Thanks

No it is now on the front top left.

I just googled that, and wow it really looks good

My Lady Susan has a G2. It has a backlit button on the back, but she has never found that useful.

[Q] Is this screen brightness normal on the Find 7?

Hey everyone,
So reasonably recently I bought the Find 7.
I absolutely love the phone, but I have not been convinced from its display's brightness.
Now I've looked around and can't really find a definitive answer on the net. I have however found a lot of talk of the LG G3's brightness being low in comparison to Samsung phones.
Considering both the LG G3 and the Find 7 use the same display - is this a norm then?
I would just like clarification and potentially pics from XDA members!
Attached are my pics. Note: Both phones have the same wallpaper and are both at 100% with power saving modes both disabled.
Here's a video demonstrating what I mean too:

Actually, G3 has two versions of panel. One being LG's own display and one is the JDI panel. From what i read from the forum, most people have LGD instead of JDI panel on their G3.
I didn't compare my Find 7 (X9076) with a lot of different phones, but I did compare the brightness with my friend's G3. Both devices have about the same level of brightness when turning to 100% brightness.

I see and did you compare the G3 to another device?
In other words, if the find 7 and g3 have the same level of brightness - does that mean they're equally low in comparison to say a Samsung?

Sadly I didn't have a chance to compare my friend's G3 with other devices. In fact, I don't have any other new devices to compare the brightness with. I was using Galaxy S3 before switching to Find 7, and the Find 7 is definitely brighter than S3 in 100% brightness. Same result when comparing my friend's Note 2.
However, according to this article, Find 7 actually have lower nits than the G3 and S5: http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Oppo-Find-7-Review_id3744. I'm not surprise that the S5 has higher nits in max brightness than the Find 7 because S5 has 1080p display, but the result for G3 is kind of interesting to me (maybe because it is using the LGD panel and my friend's G3 has JDI panel?)
So, my answer to your question: yes, the brightness of Find 7 is relatively low compare to S5.
By the way, did you turn on the auto-brightness on your Find 7?

See that really makes me wonder - what I have pictured is the S3 - the S3 on 30-40% is brighter than my Oppo Find 7 at 100%.
Have you got your S3 at hand for potential pics?
This looks like as I'm going to have to send it to Oppo.

I don't have my S3 with me anymore , and the result on your picture is kind of weird to me too, but it looks like your Find 7 is not turning the brightness all the way up though. Is your auto-brightness on? Also, do you have power saving mode on?

Check the video bro - power saving off, brightness on 100%, auto off.
EDIT:

My bad I should carefully read your first post before commenting :laugh::laugh::laugh:
I would suggest you to get a replacement if that is possible.

No worries at least you've helped me out somewhat
I would love other people top input their ideas too!

[Q] Is the G4 that much better than a G3

I have a G3. I'm thinking about buying the G4. Would you?

I had the G2 then the G3 and now the G4. I still think that the G2 was better from both the G3 and the G4. It was faster, had better battery, more features (ex. full landscape mode, even for the home screen). Don't make my mistake. Wait 2-3 months, maybe with a software update it will become a better phone. I thought that my G3 was getting hot but i can't put the G4 on my ear some times. It is definitely having overheating problem . Also the touchscreen is not registering every touch (it's a touch smartphone!!).

I would it's a beast no phone is perfect

I had a G3 as well, and recently got the G4. I like the G4 much better. Better performance, better camera, and it stays nice and cool in my hand (unlike the G3 that got really hot).

Have g2 and had g3. G4 is much better than both IMHO. Quicker, battery as good or better and amazing camera.

Lg G5 Always On Display Port

Does anyone think this is possible/ planning to implement it? As far as I know the g4 and g5 have similar screens, so why shouldn't it? Or do you think it would drain our batteries too much?

I think the G5 uses OLED screen where the G4 uses LCD, more power using. Also I think the G5 has two screens, I imagine it would just be the notification screen that stays always on not the whole thing.

G5 has a lcd screen and it doesn't have two screen

Yep the G5 has an lcd screen, so the feature shouldn't affect the battery any differently, i suppose

Sorry misremembered, was thinking V10 second screen. G5 is LED though http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-g5-always-on-display-672305/

The G5 screen is a wee bit different. Something about a partial on/off state I believe.

So that probably means no chance of an efficient always on display for the g4 eh? o well.. thanks anyways!

Seems like it. The G4 implementation was the swipe down while the screen is off to get the 'peek' menu. Supposedly this is a bit more friendly versus turning the entire damn thing on.
