    Is everyone not understanding the value in the Pixels pricing?

    Wireless charging has been around since the Palm Pre but really hasn't caught on as a main feature. Usually you have to have glass or plastic phones for wireless to work. Most people shun plastic phones and I'd prefer NOT to have glass on the back as well. Too many cracks I've seen when I...

    Is everyone not understanding the value in the Pixels pricing?

    I just watched a video where the iPhone 7 was placed in water less than a foot deep and for less than 5 minutes and has water damage to both the front and rear cameras. It doesn't look like permanent damage, but water got in the lenses. I've never dropped my phone in water and have little fear...

    Who's Looking Forward To The G5 ?

    I guess I'm not on my phone enough where I need 200% battery life. I can charge for 15 minutes to get another 5 or 6 hours of life out of the battery. The thing that is non-negotiable for me is the SD Card slot. I need the extra storage and an SD Card is much cheaper than internal storage. I can...

    Who's Looking Forward To The G5 ?

    I can live without the removable battery as long as there is an SD Card slot. You don't have to have a removable back to add an SD Card slot. Motorola did it with the Moto X Pure Edition. If they can have a sim card slot, they can also incorporate an SD card slot. And if there is fast charging...

    Who's Looking Forward To The G5 ?

    I think the V10 is powerful, but would have liked to see the 810 and not the 808, but it is hideously ugly. :( I like the 5.7in form factors with phones and might even like a stylus a la the Galaxy Note, but LG does that with its midlevel line and not it's high-end. I would also like to see a...

    Caller Unable to Hear Me - When phone is in my Right hand?!?!

    Now that you mention it, I have. I haven't noticed which hand the phone was in, but when calling people, they often told me they were losing me and the only difference was that I switched hands, but stayed in the same spot. Hmmmmm?

    LG G4 Note?

    The note is the stylo as previously mentioned. I've also heard rumors of a more premium LG G4 (plus maybe), but only rumors so far. I was excited when I heard about the LG G4 Note until I heard that it was they Stylo in the US and is a mid-level phone at best.

    Optimizing G4 battery thread

    I thought LTE drains the battery more than WiFi. Am I wrong?

    Launcher or stock?

    When you download it and hit the home button, it will ask you which app to use and it also has a check box to make it the default app. You can also go into LG G4 settings and change the default home screen.

    Camera Auto HDR

    I have quite a few darker pics and didn't realize what was causing it. But I do have HDR auto on.

    Google Fit causing massive idle drain

    I have google photos set to upload on wifi only (that's at home only and is sometimes on charger) and google fit is set up and syncing with my moto360. I get darned good battery life. My issues are using periscope (viewing) or tune-in radio. Both of those will eat the battery in a matter of...
