    Quick Charge 3.0?

    I have a european edition of the phone and bought a couple 3.0 chargers and 6ft long usb c cables. One batch of cables I felt was quite poor and didn't use as it fit loosely in the port. The other batch fit nicely. (Seems to be quality problems or problems of standards with usb c cables so you...

    anyone using this phone without a case?

    I use mine without a case. I used to always put cases on my phones and take ultra care of them because I would resell them often but after using my htc m8 with a bulky case so long and deciding I wasn't ever going to resell it I stopped using them and haven't started again with my g5. I just...

    Official 'I just pre-ordered my LG G5' Thread!

    I pre-ordered on the 3rd of this month (my htc m8 died otherwise i would have waited) and got it on the 8th. Seems out of stock now. I'm in the uk and bought it off a carrier contract with o2.

    Well, I really like my G5 (came from a V10)

    Doesn't work with my led lights. I went from normal lights to led lights and could control them with my htc m8 using ir blaster but it doesnt work with the l5. I could buy some wifi led lights if i wanted to use my phone for everything but it's a shame it doesn't work. The ir blaster was a bit...

    No bluetooth /dlna

    Using dnla works perfectly on my phone and pairs very fast with my lg plasma tv but ir blaster function doesn't work with my led ir lights. I think if you have some obscure configuration you won't be covered. Likewise like you my htc worked perfectly with my led lights in my house. (But was...

    Looks like the LG G5 isn't actually made out of metal on the outside...

    If you could see all the yellow defective samsung monitors at my office and compare them to all the perfect dell monitors that are the same age it would put you off.

    Sales numbers for G5?

    Seems to be sold out in the UK atm.

    Will the carriers sell the LG G5 unlocked?

    I can just ask my carrier to unlock it and they will. It is a law here.

    My reasons to go with G5 over S7edge

    My reasons are that I have previously owned and have been disappointed and am surrounded by samsung products all day long at work to know they are a weak overpriced overhyped poor quality product and that people in general (are dumb) and are extremely susceptible to marketing. I'd take the next...

    LG g5 stock audio specs!?!

    My phone came with free h3 earbuds but i already have shure se535 which will no doubt destroy the h3s. Would have prefered if it came with the dac.

    LG g5 stock audio specs!?!

    I have some shure se535 headphones and about 60 gb of flac files on an sd card but haven't yet tested the stock audio output on the l5 . One of the things that sold me on the l5 was the modular dac. I used to use an hrc microstreamer dac with my htc m8 but it eventually became too cumbersome...

    Samsung products are over priced and low quality. We have about 100 samsung monitors at our work another 100 dell another 100 acer and the samsung are always the first to die, turn yellow and cause problems. They have an undeserved prestige.

    Looks like the LG G5 isn't actually made out of metal on the outside...

    This phone has the same spec as the s7 so it is appropriate to sell in the same market. I bought this phone on contract and it's much cheaper than the two hype phones over contract (I'm paying £36 a month for thr lg g5 but with the samsung s7 or apple 6 I would have to pay £55 a month) seems...

    Looks like the LG G5 isn't actually made out of metal on the outside...

    It's a good phone. If it hadn't taken a chance with modular design it would still be a good phone. The idiots take that innovative concept and try to twist it as a fault. The modular design is just a bonus at the end of the day. The amount of stupid samsung and apple fanboys in the world will...

    How is the speaker quality on the LG G5?

    It's just one speaker on the bottom but it is fairly clear and louder than the boomsound on the m8/m9. It serves its purpose but you wont get cool stereo like with the boom sound. It you use the phone in landscape mode your hand will cover the speaker naturally and block the speaker. Its not as...
