    Has anyone figured this out? I'm really hating these updates

    Delayed Home Screen

    Model: VS986 on Verizon No screen protector, stock system, and current OS. I just got everything onto this phone and was hoping I didn't have to reset everything.

    Delayed Home Screen

    After using an app (doesn't seem to matter which one) I'll hit the home key to return to the home screen but when I do it will just show the wall paper and no apps. It takes a few seconds for the apps/widgets to appear. This is annoying. Tried restarting, didn't help. Cleared cache and...

    Adjusting Auto Brightness?

    Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately it's still just slightly dimmer than I'd prefer.

    Adjusting Auto Brightness?

    The auto brightness dims the screen too much when indoors/low light. Is there a way to adjust this (other than just turning it off)?

    Will you keep or return/sell your G4?

    So far it's been a disappointment. I might have to switch to HTC or Samsung.

    Color & Contrast

    I was hoping that, similar to the s series, there would be different screen modes as well (when I asked if there were presets). It sucks that I have to get a 3rd party app to fix this. The G4 is disappointing me on a few different levels.

    Color & Contrast

    Thanks for the replies. AndroidHabit, the icons are what made me first investigate. The reds are definitely weird. I thought it was just their style until I looked at some of my photographs and saw the same thing. I compared this screen with colors from different phones and a calibrated...

    Color & Contrast

    I found this review on phonearena /reviews/LG-G4-Review_id3995 (can't post pics or links yet) The writer mentions that the display is a lot colder and they bumped the saturation and brightness. That explains most of what I'm seeing. My main problem is the shift in hues and how the blacks are...

    Color & Contrast

    I'm a photographer so I have a pretty good idea of what "right" is. It seems like things look cooler (light that should have a warm golden glow look white or blue), the highlights are much brighter, certain blacks look slightly faded, and the reds are too magenta. The images are crazy sharp...

    Color & Contrast

    Hello all. I just got my G4 today and I'm disappointed with the display. I'm coming from the galaxy s4 and s5. The colors were more accurate and had better contrast. With the G4, the blacks aren't as rich and the color hue isn't quite right. This is important to me. I went into the screen...

    samsung s5 keypad letters and numbers turn into white squares/rectangles

    Same here. Only started happening with the latest update. Just like everyone else, the fixes are only band aids. The problem is still there. I really dislike this update, the appearance, and how they messed up the music player controls on the lock screen.
