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

    Or you could send it in to be repaired. We just sent in a 14 month old one with a cracked camera lens. They repaired it under warranty for free and returned it. To my knowledge, all six cores still work. Just go online to LG and you can do the whole claim without speaking to anyone.

    The kinda-official LG G4 bootloop thread

    Further update: Just received the phone this morning. They also seem to have replaced the cracked camera lens. We haven't booted it up yet to test it. There was no charge for this repair at all. Pretty amazing. I've always wondered if they had a pile of phones sitting there and just printed a...

    The kinda-official LG G4 bootloop thread

    They received the phone yesterday and have already processed, repaired and sent it back. They claimed to have replaced the flash memory. Not the mother board. This was the repair they did to mine, which still didn't work when I had sent mine in for repair. The surprising thing about this to me...

    The kinda-official LG G4 bootloop thread

    My son's G4 bit the dust Wednesday. I'm currently on my third G4 and now his has finally died. TMo had me try a factory reset ( of course that didn't work) and since that didn't work, handed me off to customer service since I'm at 13 months with no insurance. They finally offered to "upgrade"...

    Battery Drain

    I tried using my old LG G2 to see what would happen. When I plugged into the USB, it immediately identified it as "slow charge". Somehow, after an hour drive, the battery was at the same percent as when I began. That solves my problem for a long distance drive. This still isn't a good solution...

    Play local music from Samsung S6

    Look in the Google Store under Android Auto. There are several music apps you can use with AA in addition to Google Music. I have successfully used MDPlayer.

    Play local music from Samsung S6

    Look through several of the recent posts. There are several working options to play music from your phone within AA. There may be some feature limitations but they will work.

    Battery Drain

    MD player ws running. I'm not sure of the charging requirements on what phones you are using. The LG G4 requires 2.1 not 1.2. The phone will charge but it's a slow charge. The car doesn't put out sufficient power for a full charge. It's like charging from a laptop.

    Battery Drain

    I did a test this past weekend to see what the actual usage battery drop-off would be for a long trip. In an approximate 45 minute drive, I lost 15% from a full charge. That would lead me to believe that you could get in the range of 5 hours drive time before the phone would be dead. LG G4 and a...

    How to play non Android Auto music on my car radio

    I loaded something called MD Player, which reads the music on my phone, and is recognized by AA. Tried it for the first time this weekend.

    Honda Civic 2016 and Android Auto

    I have an LG G4 connected to a 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. Connecting it was not too difficult. I am disappointed that AA requires a USB connection instead of Bluetooth. My phone requires 2.1a to fully charge. The car USB output is half that. For any trip of distance, the phone will go dead...

    Disable full charge notification

    Hit the volume rocker. You will see the volume slider. To the right is the gear. Open that and it's one of the sliders in there.

    So Javier, can you please provide a method that we can contact each other? Offering the advice that I not provide my email address isn't helping. Thank you.
