    Will a Pixel branded fast charger charge the phone faster?

    Modern chargers are a bit more complicated than old school chargers. The device and charger negotiate charging rates up to what the charger can deliver. Power Delivery (PD) PPS v3 is the latest PD specification and is supported by the Pixel 6 phones. If this is your charger...

    Gmail Notifications Displaying improperly

    I saw the same thing on mine. It actually isn't limited to Gmail, but it's more likely there due to the long text lines in the notification panel. I got tired of it and ended up installing the powershade app.

    What VR headset are you using with the V30/V30+/V35?

    I'm using the 2nd gen Google Daydream (2017). I did have some issues with buttons and such which I solved with a very thin case. It's also my every day case. Search amazon for this `best alice v30 slim case` if the link doesn't work...

    Recent Daydream shipments

    My Daydream finally arrived yesterday. I guess it wouldn't hurt to email them to make sure I get the software bundle codes.

    LG V30 Display Artifact Issue

    That's a hardware fault. Possibly a bad graphics memory section. It's not a display connection issue as it only happens in the raster graphics zones. Get it replaced.

    Recent Daydream shipments

    I also got the "almost ready to ship" email on the 23rd. I assume the dates for account setup and redemption of the software will need to be adjusted. The original email did say 6-8 weeks. For us, Jan 12 would put it at 8 weeks. I just sent an email asking for clarifications on the deadlines...

    Recent Daydream shipments

    Hi all. I'm still waiting for my Daydream to ship. My approval was back on 11/17. I'm curious about all of your approvals and ship dates. Has anyone received theirs recently? What was your approval date? I'm also curious if anyone has any updated details on the deadlines. The original promo said...

    Need for display protection and/or case?

    I'm generally pretty easy on my phones and I personally prefer not to use a case. The reason I went with a case for his phone are to protect it from scratches on its back and to provide some grip. The phone is a bit slppery. First case I tried was the Spigen Liquid Crystal clear plastic case...

    So, if you have an LG G4, would you upgrade to S8 or LG G6?

    I'll wait for the V30 too. I get the impression that LG is splitting their flagship phone market. The G series becomes the mass market phone. This makes some of the decisions around features left out of the G6 a bit more sensible. Then the V30 comes out as the enthusiast phone with all the bells...

    Can i repair G4 charger?

    That does look like a difficult fix. You really are better off getting a new one. However if I were to attempt a fix, I'd add a metal pin as the conductor inside the posts. That's the only way you'll provide enough strength to keep the posts from breaking off again.

    When LG G4 will receive Android Nougat?

    As LG hasn't announced G4 support for N, we can't be sure it will even get it. Assuming that the G4 does get N, I'd be looking at 4th quarter. I base that on the N release occurring late August plus an additional 2-4 months prepping it for the G4 and getting it through carrier approvals.

    The kinda-official LG G4 bootloop thread

    Mine died last week; Sprint model with the early serial numbers. It just went to the boot screen while I was using it and never got past it again. Brought it into the Sprint repair store. They verified the boot loop issue, replaced it with a brand new unit and had me out the door within 45...
