My lg-g4 died on Thanksgiving and I went to best buy at midnight to get a Play from the Verizon counter. Got home and spend hours trying to activate it. Verizon said to go to corporate store to get sim. Corp store said go back to BB since it was not in the Verizon system to activate. BB said...

Mine died during a Thanksgiving dinner party as my son played a game. I was all set for years with two batteries and an OtterBox case. It lasted about a year and a half so I guess u was a lucky one. I hated the battery life, but otherwise enjoyed the phone. Yesterday got a moto z play...

Droid Maxx -> LG G4. Saw too many complaints about the Turbo v1 having wifi issues and dropped calls. Maxx would drop 1%/hour over night with most things turned off. My wife's G2 was stable and had less idle drain. I appreciate the TV remote functionality and ability for a expandable...

I have a BB blue phone, but it is covered by an Otterbox commuter case. A little bit of the blue is visible around the lens/switches. A dark red back would have broken up the monotony of the solid black case.

Is there any info on the SD card? I was reading about Sandisk Ultra having low random 4K writes scores as compared to the Samsung Evo. Looking on Amazon, there is a solid black class 10 SD card, but wonder about any benchmark testing for it.. I ordered a 32Gig Evo for $14.

I was disappointed by the feel of the phone. Too light and thin made it feel fragile. With a tempered glass screen protector and an otter box commuter case, it has some heft to it.. Today with light usage, got 24 hours and have 85% battery remaining. Under my sons games, get 3-4 hours SOT.

It was cheap Amazon Basics data cables causing my problems. Got a new LG G4 and was getting slow charging error and recommend to use the included charger/cable. The LG cable says 1.8 amps on it.. Charging MAXX at 40%/hour! I put up with this for nearly 2 years. Time to invest in...

How much do good cases restrict heat dissipation from device under a heavy load? I am thinking about otterbox commuter and dont want to overheat the phone with navigation + bluetooth + hotspot running while plugged in.

No quick chargers in the house, just a variety of 2 amp usb wall charges... I think the phone is starting to fail. it overheated last night while plugged in using navigation for 20 minutes. I have no case or cover on it. It would not charge until I restarted it. :(

normal nightly drain rate is 1% per hour with most stuff turned off, Over the past 20 months, I normally kept it between 70-95% charged with usual 70% deep sleep average. Again, the LG charges fast in the same charger. It is nearing it's retirement, but it was the main thing that nagged me...

thermal throttling.. is that just for the CPU or the radios too? My droid maxx was unresponsive a few times after my son played some games on it, and it had to be forced rebooted. it only had a bumper on it. I am thinking about an Otterbox Commuter case for my G4 and I use phone GPS...

Using GSAM to measure speed to charge using a 2 amp charger and it charges about 12%/hour. My wife's LG G2 will fully charge in 90 minutes. Kind of frustrating to put it on a charger and a few hours later it only increased 20%.

Just ordered one to replace my Droid Maxx. $100 gift card + LG's freebees + points for using BB credit card.

Verizon Support and Protection kept messing up my phone every week or so. I disabled it and now no more crazy battery drains. Went over a month and still have less than 1% drain/hour while sitting unused.

Since I got 4.4, sometimes the screen will dim while I am touching the screen. It has also "timed out" while interacting with an application. I have cleared cache and keep apps updated. Any known 4.4 bugs or apps that do such a thing? Also, My phone has locked up twice since 4.4 went...
