Yeah, the forums seem to still be alive and kicking. The website barely has a pulse.

These are exactly my thoughts. I can't believe that a once great site has declined to this level. I think they are all for quantity over quality. A lot of articles, but very little worth reading.

Android Central used to be the first of a few sites that I would open daily when browsing for interesting articles and content. Slowly but surely, I found myself visiting less and less. There just weren't many interesting articles that caught my attention anymore. I haven't visited in a...

I would try uninstalling updates from Google play services, then re updating them again. Often that could be the culprit. Otherwise it's normally a social media app or just some other app going crazy in the background. Check your battery stats to see.

That would be my next move too.

Definitely not related to the Gcam port. Have you tried slapping the back of the phone a few times. Maybe it's jammed or stuck?

Unfortunately the LG cam is marginally better with moving objects. However, it's still hit or miss. I try use the burst feature (holding down the shutter button) and then pic the best.

You are correct about portrait mode only working on people. If you want to take portrait style pictures of objects, then use the lens blur option. The only benefit of the LG camera, is that it is slightly faster to focus. Other than that, the Gcam app is superior. The other only downside with...

Would be nice if they added it, however the overprocessing of images that the LG app does really ruins everything for me. If they don't fix that, then I won't be using it at all. The images that I get from the Gcam port are far superior. Plus you get the lens blur and portrait options. Haven't...

Unlikely that LG will add it. But if you install the ported Google camera app from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3747263 then you can have portrait mode and a much better pictures than the stock LG app.

Open the gboard app, you will see 'glide typing'. Switch it all off.

Have you tried uninstalling updates from Google play services and then updating it again?

If you're using Nova launcher, long press on your home screen to get to settings and widgets. Tap the widgets icon. Select Nova action shortcut at the top. Drag and drop it. Once it's dropped a list appears. Scroll down and select voice search. Alternatively, if you have Nova prime, you can...

You can find it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3655374 5.1.014 is the version I'm using currently

In short, the G6 camera app is pretty rubbish. The processing that it does to pictures is horrible. Even my wife's G4 still takes better pictures than the G6. That being said, using the ported Google camera app has certainly made it a joy to take pictures with this phone again. Highly recommend...
