    Charging issues

    My Z Play has always been particularly picky about what chargers and cables work with it to charge it. Only the Motorola and higher quality stuff work.

    Why is my battery life so low on the LG G6?

    I do all of that already, except for the AOD brightness (is it even possible to change the brightness?) and vibrate nose. How much of a difference could vibrate nose make?

    Why is my battery life so low on the LG G6?

    Gonna bump this thread since I've experienced less than stellar battery life on my US unlocked G6 (US997). I get 3 hours SOT over 15 or so hours, which gets me through the workday but heavy use after that requires a charger. Is the unlocked version less optimized for Verizon's network...

    Went back to my Moto Z Play

    I switched to an LG G6 from my Z Play. Despite all the good stuff that phone has to offer, going from the battery king to average battery life has been rougher on me than expected. Every day I think of switching back, but it's such a happy to transfer all my texts and media from phone to phone...

    How is Your G6 Holding Up?

    I've had my G6 since July and I love everything about this phone... except for the damn battery life. It's okay and will get me through a day in all but the heaviest use scenarios, but a 3200-3300mah battery should be getting more than 3 hours of SOT over 15-17 hours off the charger.

    LG G6 US997 still in March security

    I have a US997 and am on the July patch...

    Has anyone tried out the modified Google Camera (w HDR+) on their G6 yet?

    For me, the Pixel camera does enough for me to keep it on my phone but isn't perfect. It gives me images with drastically improved dynamic range and more natural processing, but also are less sharp and with more noise (not always a bad thing) at times. It's also very slow on the G6, and you...

    Update US99714a

    So far, this has been a good update. Both battery life and smoothness of the UI have been improved.

    Comment on LG G6 smoothness

    My concise verdict is that it's not as smooth as stock Android or close-to-stock Android, but still significantly smoother than Samsungs

    Update US99714a

    I just downloaded the update too, bummer that it's still 7.0. Even my Moto Z Play backup phone just got 7.1.1. Ah well, at least we're on the July security patch now.

    Verizon Z Play 7.1.1 update out now!

    Battery life is the same (6hrs 15min of SOT over 2 days), performance is the same, not much difference in use from 7.0. A few bugs were fixed though, such as one I had where Moto Display wouldn't play well with certain apps I use. Man, I missed being able to abuse a smartphone battery like this!

    LG G6 Initial Impressions

    Yeah, LG does weird things with volume on this phone such as not being able to mute the camera shutter sound unless you turn all sound off. But none of it really bothers me.

    Will you trade your LG G6 for a GS8 Active?

    Re: LG G6 for GS8 Active No. Hard to live without the wide angle camera anymore

    Verizon Z Play 7.1.1 update out now!

    When I heard word I fired up my old Z Play to check it out. So far, it looks pretty much the same except for: New Pixel icons An extra quick toggle in the notifications July Security Patch All new camera interface. Photo quality even seems to have improved a little, although still not close to...

    I don't have a G6 but if I did that V30 would start giving me the upgrade fever.

    Nope. After a couple years of using a Droid Turbo 2, Nexus 6P, and Moto Z Play, I'm done with phablets. The G6 is the perfect size for me. DAC and Oled isn't enough to tempt me away, never mind to a larger phone. Also, curved edges, EWWW.
