If I ever had to look at a screen at 30% brightness I would junk it. Personal preference, I like to see a big bright crisp white screen. Even at 100%, my G3 is vastly brighter than my G4.
I have every possible bloatware app either removed or disabled. I also use my trusty "Advanced Task Killer Free" (by Rechild) which kills everything in sight except the apps you tell it to leave running.
With that said, the G4 battery drops like a 50 pound rock. The battery itself is not the problem, its the heating/throttling/dimming garbage that LG tricks you into thinking is a good thing when they're really only putting lipstick on a pig.
Free battery promo? Shoukld be 5 free batteries.
