How is your G6 holding up?

[chuckdawg1999]

I have social media apps installed and use them, but they never caused a problem. Don't know what happened except for when Verizon pushed to my phone an app called App Flash, that's when I really noticed the change.

I'm not sure what's causing it. I may try opening in safe mode, to see if it's due to an app. The battery section on this phone's settings really doesn't go into too much detail on what's using the battery, though....

 

[jhilker]

I've also updated prl, profile, and looked for any updates. Just in case that might have an impact on battery life.

I think I solved the problem. I had a widget for Uber social installed on a home screen and removing that yesterday led me to getting over 14 hours and counting of battery life today

I need help. My glass cracked, however and I can only use my "phone" on speaker. I can't have private conversations. I sent my phone to LG to fix the speaker only , however had to pay the $150 fee because my glass was cracked (I really only cared about the speaker)
Within a week received my phone... glass fixed, speaker still didn't work.

I wanted LG just to send me a refurbished phone because it was their error... No go... I had to be without my phone for another week. Got a temp replacement (on my own) sent it back to TX, just received my phone yesterday, speaker worked for 1 phone call... Same issue returned..... They CAN'T FIX MY PHONE! They still want me to be without my phone for another week while they attempt a 3rd repair we tried all management levels at LG with no success. Most may be solid, but for some reason they can't fix my phone and won't offer even a refurbished replacement

It sucks, but your cracked screen trumps any and all warranty issues you might have. From LG's perspective, they can't prove that the speaker problem wasn't caused from the drop that cracked your glass. That's why you had to pay the $150 fee to repair it. Now once, they did repair it, any and all issues (barring another cracked screen or other physical/liquid damage) would be covered by a 30 or possibly 90 day warranty. That's why they're attempting to fix it again. Also from their perspective it's not the 3rd attempt at repair, but the second since the first was (again, from their perspective) not a warranty malfunction. You might have better leverage for replacement if they have to repair it for a 4 time (from your perspective).

All that said, it sucks that you're having the speaker problem and everyone here can certainly relate to some degree. Hopefully they'll get it fixed this time.

Awful. My phone has had issues since the day I bought it. I hate this phone. It's up there with the worst phones I've ever had. Am I the only one that's had that bad of an experience with this device? It's such a bummer because I used to be a Samsung guy, but I am still more drawn to the design of LG's phones now. Not a fan of Samsung's edge screens.

Few issues I've had since purchasing my device:
1. From day one the audio jack had a constant issue of whenever somethings plugged into it, acting like it was not plugged in all the way or something of that matter. Apparently a common G6 issue. It pretty much made my device unusable in that aspect besides anything except bluetooth.

2. Constant device stutters, lags, freezing, apps not working etc. Still goes on to this day.

3. Wifi on this phone SUCKS. I have nothing but issues. I work in a hospital so reception is quite iffy in the area that I work which happens to be a basement. I can connect to hospital Wifi, but after a certain amount of time you have to re-accept terms of the Wifi which is supposed to generally pop up automatically after you connect to the wifi connection. Unfortunately, only about 2% of the time does that actually happen unless you keep screwing around with it or sometimes, doesn't happen at all. So, another aspect that the device is quite useless when I can't connect and have no service.

its been a year now and no problem at all, only drop in performance is battery, which of course is normal

I have some stutter, but I haven't had the other issues. It's crazy how different the same device can work between different people. I've seen this in every forum I've ever been a part of. You'd think there would be some sort of tech lemon law or something for people who have bad luck with a specific device.

If you had issues since day one then exchange the phone. Since you continued to keep the phone despite its problems, it's really your fault to continue dealing with it. I've had problems too, but that was few months later. Not day one. Or I would've exchanged it asap
