Search though the G4 section of this forum and you'll find a few threads where I was dealing with battery issues with my phone. Being an engineer, I tried every test/experiment I could pull off to isolate the problem and was unable to come up with anything other than it being a hardware issue...

Just following up on this one last time. I just got a warranty replacement for my phone. After all of the futzing around with it, I decided it has to be a hardware problem. So, I contacted VZW and the replaced it under warranty (after making me factory reset it... again). I've had the new phone...

Following up on this somewhat later... I recently noticed that my seemingly random big battery drains (and temperature increases) liked to occur when I was in a place where my signal might be weaker (such as a large steel building). I would look at GSam and it would say the signal strength was...

A follow-up to my previous post, in case anyone cares to read it... Aside from what I found about my Time Warner app always looking for location when I unlocked the screen, I also accidentally discovered Google Apps' contribution to the persistent "location found" notification. When I was...

Earlier on, I had something that kept making the location notification show up and I did a lot of different stuff to try to fix the constant location searches. Eventually, I seemed to have fixed something that helped (but I wasn't very scientific about it, so I'm not exactly sure what it was)...

I've done all this to no effect. GSam says the big drain is Android System whenever this happens. Posted via the Android Central App

Thanks, it never occurred to me that it might be a sync problem. I was so focused on the issue where it gets stuck searching for my location. Really, though, when I does the location thing, it doesn't seem to get too warm. I'll try disabling syncing the next time it gets warm for no obvious...

I did enjoy the quality of the Advanced calling feature, but my wife is the only other person I call that uses it (and she doesn't care either way), so it wasn't a big loss for me. I haven't had it go crazy with a weak signal since I turned it off, but it's hard to say how may instances I've...

Anyone else seeing this on their promo cover? Notice the black corner. T is as if the color rubbed off. The other bottom corner looks OK, but the two top corners are showing the same wear issue. I've only been using this cover for a couple weeks. I would not expect this so soon. The black...

Another possible cause for my phone getting hot (something that was still happening to me on occasion after the Google Play Services fix, but not as much) could have been the "Advanced Calling" option (as Verizon calls it). This is basically Voice over LTE, also known has HD calling. I turned it...

The Google Play Services fix highlighted in the Common Issues sticky fixed the problem for me. In my case, the phone would get very warm in my pocket while I wasn't even using it. Google Play Services would show near the top of the list for battery usage and my battery level would plummet the...

I got the black Verizon leather back with the phone. I recently received my LG promo cover in red (burgundy). I didn't realize the texture would be different, but I like it. I'm glad this phone has that curved screen because it encourages me to set the phone screen-down on the table during...

I'm struggling with the same thing. First, I tried to add a feed that, as it turns out - is a Feedburner feed, and it would only give me the option to open in Chrome (or BeyondPod, the only other RSS capable app I have installed). Then, I tried to add a different feed, but it simply opened a...

I think the photos taken by the M8 camera are quite good, personally. One of the great qualities that most users seem to skip over is its sheer speed. It rivals my (allbeit somewhat old) SLR in picture taking speed. I am really enjoying the UFocus effect, as well. My main drivers for choosing...

I wondered that myself. I know that I often check my phone out of habit if I haven't looked for a while. The upside is that I'm less likely to wake up at 3 AM and see a mysterious blinking light eminating from the side of my bed. Of course, there's a charging light on this phone that I can't...
