That's been my experience too. I did not know the NFC chip is on the bottom of the phone, maybe if I hold the bottom of the phone over those terminals, it will work the next time I try.

The phone has been flawless, I'm very happy with it. I haven't had a single issue with it. It runs smooth and fast without any lagging. I've used the camera a lot to document some of the things going on in the house being built for me. It produces pretty good photos. But I didn't buy it for the...

I received my phone yesterday and have a full day of use under my belt. I'm liking it a lot. Can't say enough about the build quality and the size of the phone means it fits better in my pocket than my ZTE Axon 7. I've been following reviews and comments on this phone since it was first...

I was experiencing some pretty bad lagging, some of it bad enough that it seemed like the phone locked up but it would eventually "free up". Once I stopped using the Nova Launcher, the problems went away. IIRC, the problems started after an OTA update from ZTE. I've been using the Essential...

I got my phone and case yesterday. I got the Tulia Lightweight Minimalist in black to match my black phone. It seems like a pretty good case, the case buttons work well and have a nice tactile feel to them...

I'm waiting for my Essential phone to be delivered today. My current phone is a ZTE Axon 7 and Iv'e used both the Nova and Apex launchers. I was using Nova for quite some time but then began to experience some stability problems that I never could pin down. I switched to the Apex launcher and...

Re: Essential phone $350 on Amazon I decided to go for it and ordered the phone. I waivered between the black and the grey and opted for the black. I'll have it Monday and I'm looking forward to giving it a try-out.

My real concern when I had the G5 was the lack of the app drawer. Since I couldn't get ux5.0 and didn't want ux4, I opted for Nova Launcher. That works well for me.

This is baffling me and I can't seem to resolve this. I cannot receive text messages in both of my cars audio systems via Bluetooth from just one person who happens to be my wife. I can receive text messages from anyone else properly. I do receive the messages from my wife on my phone but not...

Thanks Cory, and the others who responded. I never received a concrete answer from AT&T or LG. We have the option of installing LG Life and then getting UX 4 which restores the app drawer but that gives the phone the look of the G4, which is not a bad thing in itself. Rather than try to wade...

I've found info on "Update Center" on the LG G5 that is for updating LG apps. I have a new G5, AT&T is my carrier. I do not have Update Center under Settings>About Phone. I chatted with AT&T, they have no info on this which would mean it's not an option on AT&T devices, Update Center is...

Update: I had thought that possibly the led light may have coincidentally malfunctioned at the time of the update to KitKat. I just checked and the light is functioning. It cycles through the colors startup and shutdown and also lights red when charged. What does not work is that the led...

So, I take it that your LED is at least working. Mine stopped working after the update. Coincidence or maybe it just broke?

The LED on the home button seems to be permanently disabled. It's enabled in the settings but no longer works.

A factory reset worked. This was strange behavior. At first, I had thought that I was mistaken about the dual-camera mode because it has to be enabled when the camera is set for the rear-view. In front-view, it cannot be enabled. But sure enough, in rear-view, the camera worked the same. No...
