It's been a while since I've been on here (which is probably good, since I haven't had any problems!), but I have one question.
I am sending my LG G Pad 8.3 out to LG for repair or replacement, and I wanted to know what will happen to my personal data (emails, accounts, etc.) if I end up getting a replacement? They tell me to remove my SIM card and everything, and to back up my data, but I can't do any of that because I cannot turn on the tablet due to a charging issue because the tablet seems to think that its own charger is incorrect. I'd try to fix that myself, but it's still in warranty, so why bother?
Anyway, my question is, is my data safe? I'm not too concerned about losing what's on there, but I'd rather them not recycle it or something and my information still be on it.
I'm sure LG, like any other electronics company, takes good care in protecting owners' information, but I just want to be sure it's in good hands. Just my little paranoia in the digital world.
