    Screen Overlay Detected

    Same for me. I used to be able to use "Alternate Screen Overlay" option in Lux to not turn on Screen Overlay. But it seems to work for certain OS version and not others. I really hate all those permission and settings required to run an app. It used to be that you installed an app it will...

    My camera on my LG 4 is showing an "!" over an animated montain scene?

    Are your pictures stored in the micro SD card or internal memory? If they are on the micro SD card, you could try unmount and remount the SD card and see if that helps. You could also try to clear the Data Cache on the Gallery App. To do that go to Settings -> General -> Apps -> Gallery ->...

    How to fix blurry photos?

    For subject far away, I usually just use manual focus and dial it to the furthest setting. I think anything that's more than 50 feet away, the furthest setting would work. That way the camera won't auto focus on someone's head moving in between. I usually start with ISO 50 and pick the...

    Bye Bye G4, Its Been a Tough Relationship....

    I think you are very brave. The G4 has bootloop issue. The G5 has bootloop issue. The V10 has bootloop issue. Maybe they finally fixed it on the V20. ;)

    Lag when taking pictures??

    Turning off HDR helps a lot. Only set HDR to ON or Auto when you actually need HDR.

    Bootlooping Repair Help

    I think I would try to call them or live chat to figure out what's going on. After I ship my phone in, I got emails saying they received the phone. And the next email I got was that it was repair and shipped back to me with tracking number. None of the LG email mention anything about the...

    Bootlooping Repair Help

    Did you request the repair online? When I did mine, I picked Power Issue and I think sub-category Phone does not turn on or something like that. And in the detail description, I put down something like "The phone is getting the bootloop issue everyone else got." It got me the free shipping...

    camera lens scratches how much is bad?

    I think you still have the plastic film that came with the phone covering your camera sensor and flash.. and the volume buttons. You probably should remove them.

    The kinda-official LG G4 bootloop thread

    For those of you with the G4's main board replaced, does the phone seem to get hotter much faster? Before it used to get hot if I used it for a while like 20 minutes. Now it gets hot after 5 to 8 min usage. I mean like uncomfortably warm like a heated gel pad.

    Can i repair G4 charger?

    I have like 20 of them in my house. :p You sure you don't have another USB adapter you could use? Pretty much any USB adapter could charge the G4.. some maybe a little slower but would work.

    LG G4 Stuck on boot, how can I get it out of it?

    I was wrong. So LG got it on Thursday and this morning it's already fixed and on the way back. Tracking said it will arrive on Wednesday. So 9 days total. The email said they swapped main board.

    LG G4 Stuck on boot, how can I get it out of it?

    Hmmm if it is 10 days it would have been really fast. The label they emailed out is Fedex ground shipping. And I think it will be ground shipping back. I shipped it on Monday and tracking shows it will get there on Thursday. So I don't expect it to be back until after Halloween.

    Smart Lock -> Trusted Places does not work

    I just got a Samsung Tablet and searched for Smart Lock not work and found this thread. I found out that on my Samsung, the Home Address is automatically added to the Trusted Place, but it is NOT enabled. You have to tap and hold it and then click enable to enable it. It is kind of dumb...

    Bootloop "out of warranty"

    It's on AT&T Next, so no contract. AT&T already said they do not cover it, so it is up to LG now.
