    Tip: disable the hardware lock before upgrading to Oreo

    I can't find the feature on my phone right now so I might have named it wrong in the Title, but I had the most frightening experience upgrading. After applying the patch the phone restarted and immediately ran into the need to enter my pattern. Since I wasn't standing over the phone it waited...

    Screen retention arghhhh!!

    Hmm... trying to figure out whether this is what I've been going through. For me it's only on the second screen, and only when it's showing that a bluetooth connection has completed. It's not faded like a burn in. It's full on showing the notification that it was displaying. I think I've even...

    Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 update..

    This morning I received an update dated December 26, 2016. As far as I can see it has corrected any of the issues I've had with Google Play Services for the past few months. I've restored TouchWizUI where I was using Nova Prime as a home I never bothered to set up much. Everything seems back to...

    Camera creates thumbnail but picture "blank"

    I think I have determined that my SD card is corrupted. Files appear to have been written and then a moment later are no longer valid. It happened with a backup this afternoon as well. I'm going to try to back it up and format it.

    Camera creates thumbnail but picture "blank"

    No but it seems to have happened again today. 4 pics I took earlier are gone. No thumbnails this time. I'm going to try switching to Internal and see if it helps. I may see if I can fix them with a utility I downloaded to try and help somebody last year. Either way I think this unit has to be...

    Camera creates thumbnail but picture "blank"

    I've searched back to November and I don't see anything similar. I got my V20 last night. Took a pic or two just to try it out and those are fine. But just now I took a picture using the LG camera app, in auto, with 16:9 (6.0MP) and When I went to post the photo on Facebook or look at it in...

    Do u use a case?

    As with many things, naked looks and feels better but I'd rather be protected. I don't mind my defender at all.

    AT&T LG G3 update (2/10/15) LOLLIPOP!

    I believe the easiest action would be to adjust which apps are "private" and which aren't. Any private app won't put a notification there. Not sure if you can make private the default though. Don't ask me how to do all that though. Patiently waiting for Rogers to catch up.

    Anyone else trying to double tap other devices to wake? ;-)

    Especially on my Samsung tablet

    Anyone else notice that LG Smart Cleaning will uninstall apps?

    Just noticed this after running Smart Cleaning for the first time and most of the apps it wanted to delete were the pre-installed ones and it seems to have rid my phone of 100MB of them. Hooray!

    Standby Numbers are Excellent

    I feel like I get this kind of standby without any special apps installed. Now I'm not exactly a new android user so there's likely things that I did the day I got the phone to help it's battery life which I've already forgotten after 6 weeks but I usually get home from work and charge my phone...

    LG Keyboard or Swiftkey

    I was a fairly devoted SwiftKey user for the last couple of years on my Nexus 4, but I've switched back to Google Keyboard on the G3. As noted by others, the predictions have been way off lately and for me that was the most important feature. I really miss the dedicated row of numbers but I just...

    LG G3: Show off what that camera can do

    Might be too late but here are a couple indoor sports pics. Most of the action isn't moving too fast but what did impress me was the shutter speed.
