+Warwagon MVC Posted June 24, 2015 Author MVC Share Posted June 24, 2015 I have the G2 now. Currently looking at getting the G4 now. Doesnt appear to be a root for it yet tho. Just do what I do, just always buy a used last year model for cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techbeck Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Just do what I do, just always buy a used last year model for cheap! unless it is certified referb, not big on used devices. Never know what they have done. Kind of holding out or couple more months to see what new devices are announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconian Guppy Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I am really tempted to pick up a G3 also. I want to use it for Android development though so how is getting stock Android on it? Or how is the LG add-ons? Are they awful? Better or worse than modern Samsung add-ons? In my case I was lucky it still had an old firmware on it that didn't block rooting. So from rooting to finishing installing CM12 ... i'd say about 10 mins. One click root now fully supports lollipop IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightDevil Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 What are your opinions of the buttons on the back of the phone. Personally I think those buttons are the most natural things ever! Took me perhaps more than a couple days to get used to it, all previous smartphones i had the buttons were on the side, however, it comes pretty natural now, it's in the middle, usually accessible with either hand. I think was a different idea that could be a love or hate. I got used to it, the buttons are different and easily recognized with the finger, makes sense. Also, yeah, the camera is BRUTAL! Try X-Cam from xda, and the filters (from either) are also very good. Wonder if G4 camera ever gets ported to G3, manual mode it's a very nice add for better quality pics.

I remember reading somewhere, since the camera image processor and whatever other tech mumbo jumbo I read on xda, that porting the g4 camera app to g3 would take to much work and would probably not get done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted October 18, 2015 Author MVC Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) So this is still my main phone. I was having some problems that cropped up in the CM12.1.1 nightlies were I was experiencing random reboots a few times a day. So I switched ROMS. I'm now running Jasmine Rom which is the stock 5.1.1 rom with root and some other added stuff. It doesn't have the patch for Stagefright 2.0 like CM12.1 nightly did, but it's far more stable and i'm actually really liking the ROM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macoman Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Found this post, just to say that the LG G3 is an amazing phone. I sold the Lumia 1520 and bought a LG G3 T-Mobile version to use it in H2O wireless... So far so good, love it... We will get in a few months Android M.I already rooted it and removed all T-Mobile crapware installed. Mando 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted October 19, 2015 Author MVC Share Posted October 19, 2015 I was tempted to buy the Nexus 6p .. mainly for the fingerprint reader and the support of updates. But the lack of an SD Card might be a deal breaker for me. Before I wiped my internal storage to install the Jasmine rom, on my 32GB phone I only had 4GB free. Even less after I backed up my rom. My 32GB SD card was getting low on storage too. It's sad some phones don't give you that option as a 64GB Micro SD card is $29. Can't do much with apps but for storing videos and photos. Heck the LG G3 supports 128GB I guess I just really want a stagefright 2.0 patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightDevil Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 You gotta try CM13, its blazing fast and I highly recommend it! Obviously its CM, stock has its issues but it uses the whole phone (hardware), uses it to its full extent. About G4 camera, its been ported already, some functions work, manual mode works but isnt that surprising. We are fine with G3 camera, it works wonders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could use it for as a daily driver and probably would be fine with it. HDR is still missing (returns blank image) and there's talk about some Bluetooth issues occasionally with some devices. The problem with using third party roms, while I think stock rom could be heavily improved in terms of design (LGUI) and performance, its the only rom that uses the hardware extensively how it's supposed to. No OIS/IR on any other rom as cam libs are closed source for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the LG G3 32GB Model for $270 Free shipping. The thing looks brand new. I now activated it on Verizon prepaid. What was great is who ever had the phone last never did any updates. So the phone was still on 4.4.2 and 10B which means they hadn't blocked the rooting. So I was easily able to root the phone and install CM12. So far so good That's cool! My husband has been using LG G3 phone also. Great that you had found a good deal. By the way, it has a good performance too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mando Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 kind of related, i finally received marshmallow over in the UK OTA via EE, holy moly toly hell! what an improvement on the 32Gb G3. like a totally brand new phone, everything even looks just that bit sharper, cant explain it, longer battery life, running cooler, feels butter smooth and overall I think LG have done a grand job porting it to the G3.

MidnightDevil Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Awesome, G3 is still a very good phone, awesome camera (many modern and recent(er) phones cam quality is still subpar comparing with my G3 pictures). I own a 6P bought it 2 months ago, and I still have my G3 and use it often, specially when I need to take a good picture and listen to music.
