I'm sorry but nothing about the G4 I'd bad.

Let's see the notification shade is far from good( personal preference) with background activities the performance degrades quickly. Battery drops quickly if I set my location services to high accuracy( to the tune of 3 hours less usage time). Dropped frames all over the place. Their is more but not even worth mentioning. Not saying the phone isn't good but it fails to reach the great level because of software.

Really? I was afraid of that before getting mine (and got a holster case thinking I'd need it), but I can actually barely tell the phone is in my pocket. I wear mostly denim jeans that aren't exactly known for loose pockets and it fits in there just fine when naked. My holster case, on the other hand, is a freaking tank. I can still fit it in my pocket somewhat ok, but mainly because I got tired of it digging into my sides when using the belt clip. I will admit the driving aspect is simply a non-issue for me since I use a car dock.

I was too, coming from a smallish flip phone. My G4 is in a thin case that adds a tiny bit of bulk, but not much like an Otterbox would. I wear basic jeans and have only minor occasional problems driving, I just just make sure the phone orientation follows my body contour when I hop in the seat, diagonally across my upper thigh, and I'm good. My shorts are looser and no issue there. Rest of the time, I have no issues with the size of the G4

I'm sorry that you have all these problems. I think you should bring it back to your carrier and maybe get a replacement. I don't have any of these problems.

How do you take pictures of the ground? I'm curious as I can't see how that could happen. No disrespect lol

For me, when the camera app is open, I try to swipe up from the bottom to launch the on-screen buttons. I usually do it too fast and hit the camera button instead of the center Home O. I'm just usually pointing the camera down when this happens.

Tap the on-screen button at the bottom left (looks like a U-turn arrow) - takes you to home screen. In some camera modes may be the only button, but I think it always exists.

I had the S6 and the camera was fantastic but has others have said the battery life sucked .Im tempted with LG G4 for next phone

I was facing a similar dilemma before I bought mine - I had a few more in the mix but I went back and forth for weeks. The superior screen, build quality, and the fact its fairly uncommon won out for me. I have to say I do quite like the look of the new BlackBerry Priv too, not sure I'd go for it over the G4 though.

I thought tapping anywhere on the screen while the camera app is open causes the on-screen buttons to appear.

Yeah, I kinda like that I'm not walking around with the totally status iPhone 6 or Samsung S whatever, like it seems like 90% of the public is.

Thanks, Bruce. That works.

It's kinda big to put in your front pocket. Almost no way you'd want to drive with it in your pocket with pants on.

Driving with your pants on is over rated anyways.
