Sorry I seem to have stirred up a hornets nest. I'm really hoping I can get these issues resolved. If anyone has figured out why the notification LED does not work except for the single blue on on startup, I'd really like to hear. The camera speed complaint is relative to all the hype pre-release. All the reviewers were wetting themselves over the LASER-assist focus. There's no laser! Its just normal camera infrared focus assist. And it's clearly NOT a 232 microsecond (or,whatever the # is) shutter delay. Its like 2 seconds. I've missed several shots of kids already. Its normal. Its just disappointing after all the hyperbolae.
The audio output issue is serious. I'm going to have to go back to the ATT store and make them explain that. Not that those kids will have a clue...
I will say battery life has been good. The auto briteness on screen seems very lame and I have had mine on manual, 75%.
No overheating but have not tried a long video yet.
The FM radio is a bummer. For me anyway. Why'd they have to go and kill that.
Hey, what is carrier iq that is being discussed above?

While there is no doubt that you might have a defective unit, you do raise issues that are clearly not a result of such.
Again, maybe your camera is defective or maybe you are seeing something that most others will never see. I can't say, as I don't have the phone to test. But you did come from the HTC One m8, and I haven't found a faster camera then HTC's last two flagships.
My advice is to go to a retail store and test your phone against the display model.
As for bloat, again I can't say. But since you also just got an m8 a few months ago, it's easy for you to know if AT&T has gone overboard with redundant apps on this phone.
I also don't remember all of your complaints about sound/music, but car wifi issues will always happen to someone as the release firmware from brand new models can never include every make and model of car. So some people have to understand that if you are having issues with your car, that even with updates, it may never be fixed (or worse, it could be broken with an update). Until Google "bakes in" car wifi into Android, this will be an issue for some when a new phone comes out.
As for the FM radio being disabled, you already know how I feel on this subject. It is clearly unexceptable! Verizon did just this on the m8 and maybe got a ton of hate mail on it. If they did, maybe that is why they didn't disable the FM tuner on the G3. But unless I'm wrong, this is a first for AT&T and the radio and they need to know just how you feel about it.
There is a lesson to be learned here. Your mouth is your friend.
No matter what, even if you are returning your phone, AT&T is going to want to know what your experience is with the G3. Do what I did (about AT&T disabling freebies on the m8) and give them a piece of your mind. You might not think that it helps, but just look at how Verizon didn't disable the FM tuner on the G3, right after they did so on the m8. Again, your mouth (or fingers when filling out a questionare.) is your best friend.
Personally, I'm never buying a phone or tablet from any US carrier again. So if a phone can not be purchased unlocked like Motorola, Samsung, and HTC, then they lost my business. I have two lines that I personally use, and I really wanted the G3 to replace my S4. But I guess a note 4 is in my future as LG just doesn't care to sell unlocked phones to the US.
Thanks LG.
