Update: replacement came yesterday. It's a refurbished 505 serial number, so, fingers crossed. They sent the phone only (no back or battery), which kinda surprised me. One year warranty on the original phone expires next month, so I guess I'll be adding an extended warranty to my monthly...

Mine died yesterday. 505 serial number, Verizon. Was in the middle of sending a text, screen went black, wouldn't reboot. If I took the battery out and put it back in again I could get it to boot to the start-up screen, but then it would die again. Took it to the Verizon store today and...

Looking for some help here. Some of this looks to have been covered already in this thread, but I'll be honest: you start talking about ISO and shutter speed, my eyes glaze over. Aren't these things supposed to be id**t-proof? Here's my problem: the G4's camera lag makes it nearly...

Re: Is this normal battery drain? Thanks, all. Next time this happens I'll investigate a little further and take a screenshot or two. Might've been something simple like the Google calendar or weather widgets trying to sync.

Re: Is this normal battery drain? No, I didn't think of that (screenshots). I'm pretty sure it never lost service or went into roaming. Every time I checked it was on 3G.

Is this normal battery drain? This weekend I was golfing with my father-in-law in a somewhat rural area (3G coverage). When we started the round I was at 82%. Two holes later (15-20 minute) I was at 64. By the end of the round (2 hrs 15 min or so) I was at 20! It does the same thing when...

I've had the G4 for about 3 months now. Previous phone was a Nexus 5 (IMO, the gold standard for smart phones). The first month or so was kinda rough. Lots of little quirks that drove me crazy and made me wonder if I had made a poor choice. But I hung in there, scoured this forum for...

I love the Cimo Grip. Under $10 on Amazon right now. I wanted something slim fitting and low profile, grippy, and somewhat flexible/soft to the touch -- the Grip is perfect.

I submitted my rebate my claim from my phone the day after I bought it (6/15). Attached a PDF of the receipt and a picture of the IMEI code or whatever it's called. Heard nothing for several days, so I figured it didn't go through. Tried to track it on the promo site, but they require a...

While I admit the discussion of Exif rotation and rendering is over my head, I just don't believe what you're saying is completely true. I've been taking pictures on devices for several years now -- on iPhones, iPads, Kindles, a Nexus and now the G4 -- and I've never had this issue before. Not...

My wife's last two phones have been iphones and we've never encountered this before (we text pictures to each other A LOT). I admit I'm not a tech guy, but if a phone can't do something as simple as take a picture and post it to social media without it going wonky...that's pathetic. This needs...

Hmm, tried this and it made no difference. Sent the same pic to my wife using each method and both turned sideways. This is really starting to frustrate me! Sent pics to a few people last night using hangouts and all looked fine until they responded. As soon as the replies came back the pics...

I'm having a similar experience. Submitted a PDF of the receipt and a picture of the IMEI on Monday night (6/15) and haven't heard a word from LG. No idea if they received it or not, and I can't track it because I didn't write down the rebate number. Arg.

Thanks! I don't see that option on the Android app, but I guess I could've done that on my laptop. Good to know. Regardless, hopefully these workarounds won't be necessary forever.

I cleared the cache on the camera but not FB.
