So, I'm looking to upgrade my G3 to a G6. I enjoy my G3 but it has some faults, and I'm wondering if they were addressed in any of the subsequent models.
Probably the biggest, to me, is bootlooping. I'm on my 3rd battery with the G3, as that seems to at least temporarily help. But if this hasn't been fixed I wouldn't want to bother with a G6, especially from what I've heard about not being able to replace its battery
Headphone jack. I've often had connection issues with G3. It used to be that it wouldn't properly recognize what was being plugged in. I used to use a tape adapter in my car, but the G3 would think it was a headset, and bring up a voice command program or something, which would interrupt my music. And sometimes the spotty connection would cause the song to skip to another. Right now, it's also sometimes causing sound to play in only one ear on my headphones, which doesn't occur when my headphones are plugged into other devices.
Double tapping screen to activate. I love this feature, but on G3 it can be inconsistent. Sometimes it works as intended, but sometimes, I'll have put my phone in my pocket, and the screen manages to activate in my pocket, recording video from my pocket (side note, videos can turn out kinda cool, but anyway), or it's somehow brought up the text app with a bunch of gibberish in the message field. Or conversely, double tapping sometimes does nothing. I feel like it'd be impossible to perfect, but I hope that it's improved since G3
Last thing I can think of is the keyboard. Either my thumbs are too big or the keys are too small, lol. A pretty minor thing, but this at least, is something I can find out for myself with a store model.
Any G6 users have any insight on whether the problems above are/have been present in G6's? I am encouraged that I haven't seen any topics about these problems in a brief look
