    Service Disabled - No SIM Card*Emergency Calls Only

    How did you get the sim out without pulling the battery. The battery sits just high enough to prevent the sim from coming out. If you pulled the battery to remove the sim, the phone would have been powered off. If you managed to pull the sim out by lifting and pulling, you damaged the pins...

    WTF? Can't set pattern lock

    Correct. The Tech Support person I got couldn't figure it out and since it all began after I updated to 6.0,. I got the warranty exchange. It should be delivered today. I also have the Galaxy S7, but the screen size and camera make the LG G4 my preferred device! Crazy good screen and camera!

    WTF? Can't set pattern lock

    I just got off the phone with tech support (AT&T). I got lucky and ended up with a very nice lady that knew her way around the Android platform very well. All efforts failed. She checked my imei number and found I still had 81 days left on my warranty! They are sending a replacement...

    Screen lock not working

    I am having the same issue and I tried safe mode. There is no different outcome, still unable to set screen lock and only swipe is active. Also, one General > Security, I get an error message if I attempt to open Security settings.

    Screen lock not working

    Re: Security Settings Had any luck yet, I have the exact same thing going on and it's making me crazy! No problem until I updated to Android 6.0 Let us know if you stumbled onto the fix!

    WTF? Can't set pattern lock

    To test things, I have activated the "Lock Instantly w/ Power Button" and lock pattern isn't provided to unlock. The phone opens upon "Swipe." I have had several Android phones and I'm familiar enough to set a lock format, but this particular device seems to be acting incorrectly. I have no...

    WTF? Can't set pattern lock

    Thank you for the reply, as you can see from the above screen capture the Smart Lock option is not even highlighted as being an active field. You'll notice that my lock is set at swipe, and it remains that way even after going through the steps of setting up a pattern lock. After completing the...

    WTF? Can't set pattern lock

    Purchased a brand new LG G4 and have it all set up with Nova launcher. Very pleased with the phone and just discovered something odd! During setup, I set a pattern for my screen lock. Picked the phone up to find I didn't need to unlock it. Checked in settings and see that Swipe is set. I...

    Is Zagg HDX good alternative to Glass?

    I just put the Zagg HD Dry on and it is perfect! Very pleased! Install couldn't be easier, just read instructions before hand. I got the full body, which comes with the matte finished clear piece for the back of the phone. NOW I HAVE SOME GRIP! I might go careless if the occasion is...

    Rear camera flash doesn't work on G3 D850?

    Open the camera and then hit the Settings button. I think you will find that you have HDR on, in which case flash is disabled. Touch the HDR button to toggle off and you will see flash icon become active.

    G3 Is it worth to buy is or not ?

    In the store the screen brightness is at 100%, how does yours look at that high?

    G3 Is it worth to buy is or not ?

    I must be very old school, I can't understand anything I read on the xda site. I am best to leave it alone. [emoji15] Having said that, I have the iPhone 6, missed having an android and found a great buy on manufacturer refurbished G3's. Absolutely love this phone! So much more enjoyable...

    My pictures.... What's up?

    One more day has passed and the camera is still improving! I don't get it! The OEM camera module replacement is due to be delivered tomorrow, but I might just give this a few more days to see if it clears up completely. Perhaps the storage that the phone (although in sealed box) was extreme...

    My pictures.... What's up?

    It's weird, and I agree that camera module must be sealed. Gave this a shot because of the trace condensation theory from AT&T. I also have the iPhone 6, but after using the G3, I simply can't use the other. I went on eBay and ordered the OEM rear camera. When it gets here, I'll find a...
