Did that actually fix it

I've been using 5.0.2 exactly like whats on my nexus 7 2013 for months. Check out Illusion Rom 6.5. Works like a champ. No problems, calls work, Bluetooth works, gps works, it all works. I played around with my friends sprint lg g3 with stock lollipop...what a joke.

Yup me too. The free spare battery and charger has become a critical part of my phone. I rarely plug my phone in to charge unless I'm tethering on a long trip while navigating, etc. Otherwise, its simple to just grab the spare and have that in my pocket.

I had purchased my lg g3 before their lg g3 spare battery and cradle promo had began. they were still kind enough to me to honor my request. Now don't get me wrong I am not saying they will give me one, as I purchased my phone last year. But maybe some of the people who purchased close to the VR...

maybe you could look into tinkering. its really not that hard at all to flash TWRP via flashify. And then flash a 5.0.2 rom like cm12 or Illusion. If you were smart you would wait a few more weeks so the development communities have time to merge the LG features into their roms. then you will...

why don't you consider getting a Motorola Hint Bluetooth headset? I think with that it is always listening, and basically will read aloud all of your notifications. then that way you can search and ask questions no matter what is going on... you could also do the same thing with a cheaper...

cant you just look at your box and check the serial number? did it just register right away with your carrier or did you have to re register it? I know for me with Verizon if it didn't automatically activate on its own with the same sim card inside, it would mean they switched the phones. what...

I hadn't flashed any roms for over 2 years with my galaxy nexus. I basically discovered that stock firmware was ample so long as I had root and xposed framework . However being on Verizon and impatiently awaiting lollipop I decided to go the rom route. Been on illusion 4.0 for some time...

For me, the free spare battery and charger have been my saving grace. You will have a limited amount of options for cases if you go the 6000 route. For my phone, either running 4.4.4 kit kat or 5.02 Illusion ROM I get less than 0.25% /HR idle drain. So basically if I go to sleep at 95, I wake...

SwiftKey. Been using it since 2011 when it was a paid app. Cost me 10 cents when it was on sale! Had just purchased a Galaxy Nexus. And coming from a droid 2, it was the saving grace that let me transition to touch screen form qwerty. The LG one is nice though. The resizable thing is nifty. But...

Obviously its not life and death with this phone since the battery is removable and user replaceable. But coming from the droid maxx, I have carried over a few obsessions/habits. Google battery university for more info on lithium polymer longevity. Basically...in my book...as long as you don't...

I would say it depends on what your usage is like. If you are some news reporter or are constantly editing lots of text, or depend on super fast and accurate email sync, Yeah I'd say go for the new Blackberry Passport 100 % unequivocally. If you are rich and want to indulge your finances into a...

This is good news to me. I have been reluctant to flash a 5.0 based rom for my g3 as xposed framework isn't supported. Since SoftCard doesn't have the $1 off a transaction promo anymore (needed RootCloak for this to work)....maybe I'll give it a whirl. I do like the xposed integration of...

I am on 4.4.2 on a Verizon version, rooted, and xposed. With g3 tweaksbox, and Flat Style Color Bars module, I am able to have transparent status and nav bars on home screen. And on apps, the status bar matches the action bar of whichever app, and links the nav bar to that color as well. I'm...

Unless the Droid Turbo had root, or I could get an insane good deal on a Nexus 6...yes I would go with the g3. The radios are good, the camera is good, it doesn't freeze up, the battery is big and removable, and idle drain is 0.25%/hr on wifi and only 0.5% on LTE. I definitely love the fact...
