    May be heading back to Samsung from LG

    After eight years with LG, since the G4, I may be heading back to Samsung. I don't know who the person is or the people are at LG who decide on which form factor to give their phones or who they ask about it, but it certainly wasn't me. I wonder if they do customer surveys or have focus groups...

    No dual LG Velvet at T-Mobile

    If anybody knows anybody in the hierarchy at T Mobile, pass this along: It really sucks that T-Mobile does not offer the dual screen option with the Velvet. At least in the US they don't. At TM the Velvet is $600 (ok $588) and then you have to buy the second-screen attachment from LG for $200...

    You know what. I just checked again, after [Mod redacted] messing with it for the better part of a half hour a couple of times today, and now it's working. Frigging Gremlins.

    Why is widget is not sticking to HS?

    Yes, there's plenty of room on the screen, even well beyond the shadow outline that it generates before you drop it I cleared other apps further away after I started having this problem. But it doesn't even let me drop it. I drag it to the screen and as soon as I take my finger off it...

    Why is widget is not sticking to HS?

    On my LG v40 I went to direct dial a contact and found her picture was missing. Ŵhen I went into the contact section to set up another one I found there was no shortcut in the drop-down menu to add the contact to the home screen. I thought maybe I needed a add a new phone contact widget to the...

    What Android update on or about October 11th 2016?

    On this date I received the availability of an Android update for my LG G4. So I installed it. But when I went into the software information on my phone I really couldn't tell what was different. Does anybody have any idea?

    The kinda-official LG G4 bootloop thread

    I'm really pissed off. Here is my story in a nutshell. I bought a brand new LG G4 in August of 2015 here in orange County California from T mobile which has been my carrier for a number of years now. 3 months ago it. What I will call phone number 1, went belly up. Right in the middle of you...

    Can I name or title individual photos in my photo gallery albums?

    Well the question pretty much speaks for itself, but specifically my deal is this. I am growing a beard and working out to lose weight. So I would like to take pictures at various stages of both processes and title the individual pictures within an album. For example in the album titled...

    T-Mobile LG G4 MM Stock images and KDZ

    11:00 p.m. on February 21st 2016. No notice yet on my LG G4 that an OTA update is available. Still has the "your system is up to date" notice Yet when you go to the Tmobile site it says LG G4 is good to go. Guess I will stop in a t-mobile store tomorrow and see what's up.

    Color & Contrast

    Can someone tell me how I can use that screen color adjustment feature? I look at the manual and there's not even a section for it. I guess I'm 95% satisfied with the display on my LG G4 because maybe on some shows I don't know any better. But i'm currently on Netflix, rewatching various Star...

    What are your favorite cases for the LG G4?

    I'm not sure if they make it or they are distributor, but I like HHI "dual armor" hybrid composite case as offered thru Amazon. Its the one with the "grenade" pattern. What I really like about it is that the rim around the kickstand allows me to curl my fingers in, in amore relaxed grip, and...
