So... Im getting back my recently purchased Galaxy Note 2014 White Wifi 32GB for another one. Thanks god the shop gave 15 days in order to see if something went wrong.
Here is the point: Once the battery reach some percent between 20-30%, suddenly, just in a second, it drops till 10%, and seconds later, to 5%. No root, no apps opened, no strange software installed, Samsung Motion options used (except some S-pen functions) or Devs options touched, i checked out all this things after it happened the first time. I only used it to search on Firefox, write/read PDFs with ezPDF, see some movies or see how Real Racing 3 or Dead Trigger would see on the screen.
No idea about whats going on.
In adition, im worried about this tablet´s heating. Sometimes gets alarming and it feels pretty uncomfortable, as you feel something could break bad inside if so much heating is hitting the hardware, and men, im just using 3 simple apps at a time. I get Real Racing 3 use GPU really hard but... it feels moron as this game hasnt been update so it can use high graphic settings on this tablet.

You ha e a defect. Mine never gets alarming hot. It gets warm when playing big games, but so do all tablets. You can feel something break inside? Send it back.
I am thinking about buying a new G3, Is there any chronical issues-problems of LG G3?
Like dust in screen or speaker blow or any hardware malfunction
Don't be completly discouraged when reading this, as this is just my list of CONs for this phone.
Here's some of the issues i've had on my G3 from the very minute my phone left the box:
1. The phone has a locked bootloader, So don't expect any custom roms or kernels anytime soon.
2. This phone gets very hot for almost no explainable reason all the time doing small tasks like browsing the web.
3. WiFi (and maby LTE??) are REALLY slow in comparison to every other phone i've owned in recent years (sometimes web pages even freeze while loading).
4. The stock web browser kills my battery in about 2-3 hours from a full charge on 0% brightness because of LGs stock webbrowser sandbox security.
5. I get constant "connection timed out" errors while trying to stream many online videos using the stock web browser.
6. CPU doesn't hit max speed on this device without messing with thermal options.
7. The phone is very laggy & slow on my version (10b), I don't know how other versions are though.
8. The glass started falling out of my first G3 (around the edges) and i had to exchange for a new one because of this. (my new one did this too but only at the bottom and i just live with it)
9. VERY poor color & contrast when the screen brightness is turned way up (looks good at low brightness though).
10. My left headphone buzzes while the CPU is under load while no audio is playing, Once the CPU load stops or once a song or movie starts playing the buzzing stops (tested with 2 sets of headphones, both buzz but apparently some other users say there are headphones that don't do this).
11. + some other small things.
Probly the most complained about things are these:
1. lag
2. overheating
3. physical cracks develop usually around the ir blaster or mic
Im not having any lag issues, im on 10i though, my phone is yet to get hot too, not sure why this is, im very very happy with mine at this stage, only downside is the locked bootloader.
No issues here, the heat issue was fixed with software updates from what I have seen. I have no issues with heat on mine. The contrast can be fixed or made a little better in the accessibility menu. I've had 3 G3's and none of them had the screen fall out or develop a crack around the frame. (I think that was a limited issue)
I bought my first G3 back in early June and it was fine until I dropped it off my balcony. My Att G3 hasn't had any issues either. The signal issue listed above is more of s perception thing. My F460S (G3 Prime) only has 4 bars in its cell service instead of 5-6 that others have. So basically if I have 3 bars its like having 4-5 and my connection has always been fine. I think that some of the issues are exaggerated on this phone but that's just from what I have seen after owning a G3 since it launched more or less.
No lag, no heating.. Just two troubles.. 1.LG software.. Phone is so slow and heavy. 2. Locked bootloader..no LG software replacement.
If you want a g3 with an unlocked bootloader, buy it from T-Mobile. I have mine rooted recoveried, and have installed a very nice custom rom/kernel. This is by far my favorite Android yet.
As far as Amb669's list goes we haven't seen any of those problems. My wife and I have had our Verizon G3's for a couple of weeks now (not exactly a long time) with zero issues.
My WiFi speed in particular is Amazing.
Keep in mind two very important caveats:
My wife and I almost certainly use our G3's differently than Amb669 (and each other) - not better or worse just different.
It's possible that if we used our G3's in the same way as Amb669 does we might experience similar problems.
Our G3's were purchased recently - our phones may be from a later batch that has had issues corrected.
Our G3's firmware/software could also be different/improved.
I LOVE this phone and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.
I have some problems with my G3 too, it's too slow... i prefer my Old Xperia ZQ, maybe it's a Software Problem ? and my G3 gets so hot too... damit i'm disappointed.. there are something that could do ?? i already resete it but still the same thing.

I have not encountered ANY of these issues, except for the heat issue.. But seriously it doesn't get that hot? Mine gets to about 55 degrees Celcius and that's max.. (I have the int. Version though)
On the other hand I do agree on the fact that the colours could be better on high brightness but hey, it's not a Samsung AMOLED display like the S5
For me the LG G3 is a stylish, fast, and amazing phone that offers everything I need :good:
Check this for one of such problem I do have - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/lg-g3-d855-faulty-buzzing-interference-t2899373
Every once in a while I can't swipe down the notifications bar and the top 10% ish of the screen doesn't respond to touches.
Also, I seem to get quite a few false touches
I think i may have issue but not too sure will keep a eye out

I have an issue that is 100% reproducible on my G4.
1. I set in Dev option for the animations to be .5x
2. Swipe between home screens left, right left, then press any of the shortcuts in the persistent are of the screen (phone, camera etc).
3. Now try to do the same thing but press any app shortcut or even the recents button. it works fine. I think this is a software issue.
I freaking starting to hate LG UI.
No issues on my G4, however...
I had the same exact issues on the G2 where the digitizer and the screen had to be replaced time and time again, and it'd just break again. Seems like the heat makes it so touches don't register.
I posted the other day about an issue mainly in Pinball Arcade, where taps occasionally weren't registering a flipper activation. This problem seemed to extend into the OS itself, as I have had some hiccups while typing or navigating. I just wiped everything and am trying again...we'll see. But I want this figured out by early next week so I can take advantage of the 14-day period.
Seems to happen when the top part of the phone is really hot
I'm having issues with the touch screen just not registering taps randomly. i can be in chrome scrolling and just have it stop scrolling then decided to start up again and i have to press an app icon multiple times to get it to register. ive only had the phone for 5 hours now. very pissed.
going to go return it now. was going to get the nexus 6 and i should have in the first place.
Some taps not registering here too...sucks, but i don't see any other phone I like out there.
same here I'm having bad touch screen issue, will be returning just paid $635 for this
.. I just started having this issue after the recent tmo update.. Wtf
Don't seem to be having any touchscreen issues. Mine is only heat related. Getting new phone delivered today. Hopefully that will fix it.

It's normal to heat up the first few days while it downloads and installs all your data.
I've had my phone two weeks. It heats up to over 107F while listening to Tune-in Radio. Yesterday at the T-Mobile store it went from 81-107F after 5 minutes of talking on the phone and about 5 minutes of Tune-In Radio. The hottest I've noticed is 117F. This is under normal operation and NEVER happened with any other smart phone I've had (I've had smart phones since 2005). It will be in my pocket and I have to take it out because it's so hot. I don't play intensive games or do anything really intensive on it. The most intensive thing I do is watch youtube videos or periscope. I use this phone exactly as I used my G3 two weeks ago. Nothing has changed and no new apps.

Yeah, that's probably not normal if it's been two weeks. Mine was only warm the first two days, but it quickly resolved once everything's properly set up.
What's funny, is she went down a list of why my phone might be hot: did you leave it in the sun? are you playing intensive games? a case can cause the phone to get hot. using your screen at high brightness can cause the phone to overheat. LOL
I told her that when play store updates 2 apps, it gets hot. She said she could fix that and promptly went to my settings and turned off auto-update. REALLY?

Mines got pretty hot too when updating apps the first day of use, hottest I've ever felt a phone. I've been working at T-Mobile since 2009 and I always thought customers would exaggerate about a hot phone.
Different kind of touch issue
When i place my mobile on bed or any soft surface, the touch does not respond. Am unable to pull down the notification bar. Tried multi touch app and it does not recognize the touches itself. Someone help me out pls.

Mine is perfect except if it's plugged in and charging. It's much less responsive then, and needs a much firmer touch.

I just noticed this last night as well. I had it plugged in and it started to slow down a bit (Thermal throttling) and touches were less responsive.
At this moment it's working great. I really hope this isn't a heat/hardware thing

If you don't mind me asking, what are you using to monitor the temp?
Hi all, i am looking for an android tablet to watch TV shows, YouTube and read the odd ebook.
Is the LG Gpad 8.3 still worth getting? I have seen them sell for around £60 and i like the fact that there is official linage support.
How good is the screen and speakers on this tablet? Any thing i should be careful of when buying it second hand? Any common faults or issues?
If I am correct i have been using this tablet for almost full 3 years, almost every day, up to couple of hours. I bought it for 200$. It's "okay" now days. It isn't that fast anymore, it heats up a lot if you push it to hard. I have problem with watching 720p60 videos on Youtube, and 1080p60 videos just freeze and you can hear only sound. With stock ROM i had random slowdowns, games and content just start to lag, but it stops after some time or a reboot. So i recommend a custom ROM. Speakers are loud, but they are on the back of tablet and i hate it. Sound often gets blocked by my flip cover. Even as an outdated device you can play some intense games like N.O.V.A. 3 with unnoticeable lag. 4500mAh Battery is "okay" when using the device, but on standby it can last maybe more than a month. I don't if it's me but sometimes touchscreen seem to be odd. Maybe it's because of my intense usage. I have dropped it few times from maybe about 1 meter, but no scratches. Maybe my case helped. Also, screen is great, but i see some like, bright little spots(about 3 of them), but they are not that bad. I don't guarantee it's for every device. For 60£ if it's great or near perfect condition it's an awesome deal. Another tablet that is great is Nvidia Shield Tablet, you can check it out.
Hello! I've used this phone for about 2 days brand new from the official store website.. Today my triggers are holding down after I touch (I play with little finger gloves as my hands sweat while playing) with or without these gloves the problem occurs... Is there any way to fix this as the triggers were my number 2 reason for purchasing the phone second to game quality.. I've tried adjusting the touch sensitivity as well, any help would be greatly appreciated! (No root)
I have the same issue when playing pubg for a long time. I'm not sure whether it is related to sweat or the phone overheating (despite the much flaunted fan). Given you've said you play with gloves might be the overheating. I don't know of any way to fix within the phone but I have found when I play with a external (table) fan on next to me I don't get this issue as much. I have raised in other forums, hopefully Nubia listen and fix this in a software update. Until then keep it cool
Thank You!
i had only played a game of tdm in pubg when it happened on my second game. but thank you ill try this!
