    Might have been interesting to throw in a high end DSLR and see what people pick.

    G4 KnockOn feature not working

    Mine was sent in for the boot loop issue and the knock on feature didn't work properly before or after the repair, I don't know if it's a firmware issue or not. Maybe they disabled it because it caused battery drain when constantly monitoring when off or something. Kind of a neat feature, but it...

    Contacts in phonebook listed under wrong alphabetic index letter

    There's a bug in the sorting that apparently looks at the entry of "general" with some special handling where it will always treat it as a last name regardless of its position in the entry. For instance, entering General Motors will have it sorted in the M section even if you have it set for...

    G4 KnockOn feature not working

    Well, removing the knock code gives it the chance of the knock on working, but it's still too unreliable, sometimes working but more often requiring many tries over and over before it finally wakes up. I've decided to use a small neodymium magnet attached to the end of a stylus to wake it from...

    G4 KnockOn feature not working

    This! I changed from the knock code to a PIN entry, and the knock on that's being inoperative for *months*, and even had me doing a factory reset (which I still haven't recovered from, due to lost contacts), is now working- Thanks for the bugs, LG. Would have saved me so much time if they...

    LG G4 Knock On stopped working

    Tried all sorts of things I found in posts regarding this, including a suggestion from LG to do a factory reset, but it's still not working for me. It sometimes wakes up after multiple double tap entries, once it actually woke up 30 seconds after I set it down on the table after I stopped...

    The Knock Feature not responding ...

    Mine was in device, display, advanced settings, motion sensor calibration. While it's still not responding the way it used to, it looks like doing two sets of the double taps wakes it up, though there's a big lag after entering the second set before it comes on.

    Otterbox Commuter for S7E - Demo one of the BEST

    does seem that phones are fashion statements more than devices to be used and not seen. Discussions of visible antenna lines as if they were panty lines, material appearances over effectiveness-

    LG G4 Knock On stopped working

    It's mostly a hassle when I have it sitting on the table and it times out, so I have to pick it up to turn on instead of doing the quick tap-tap to wake it.

    Powerbank that can continuously power an Android smartphone

    Is this being used in a vehicle with 12V power available or does it have to be battery powered only? I bought an inexpensive battery bank that uses 18650 batteries that supplies power continuously without shutting down output; with four batteries, it would have over 12000 mAh capacity. I use it...

    LG G4 Knock On stopped working

    That should be, I always have to wake up the phone using the rear button rather than the usual double tap. Maybe it's a feature of the latest update to save power by disabling screen monitoring while it's off-

    LG G4 Knock On stopped working

    Seems that recently the knock on mode of the G4 doesn't respond and I have always been on the phone using the power button on the back. A friend also noticed the same thing on his G4 so appears to be a common issue. Any way to find out why it's not working? When the screen is on, double tap...

    How can I fix the error message: Unfortunately, My Places Engine has stopped.?

    Re: Error message: "Unfortunately, My Places Engine has stopped. I was curious about this and checked the apps but I don't see My Places Engine in the list. It showed up as an item in location services as high battery consumption so i thought I'd check. Posted via the Android Central App
