Hi, I was browsing the web on my G4 earlier today when the screen just turned black, tried turning it back on but nothing happened then my smart watch brief to say it had lost connection to my phone so presumably it had switched off. Been trying for the last hour or so to stay it up again...

I'm having some problems with my G4 that are really beginning to bug me! I'm on Marshmallow, but have done a factory reset (twice!) since I upgraded, and I can't figure out how to get these settings back to how they used to be. 1. Facebook Messenger no longer displays a preview of the message...

Hi all, I'm seriously considering getting an S7 (not Edge, I'm not sure the Edge adds anything to the party) and I haven't owned a Samsung since the S3 so curious as to what I can expect from the S7. TouchWiz - this was awful on S3 and I'm not sure if it has got any better since then! Are the...

My G4 has just finished installing the v20d January software update which according to the change log promises to improve battery life/management. Has anyone else got this or seen an improvement? I'm also on Android 6.0 too. Helpfully however, the software update uninstalled a load of apps for...

I've had my G4 for about 7 months now and have already had to send it back to LG for repair once. In the 3 months or so since I did that the same problems are beginning to crop up again so it is only a matter of time before the phone becomes unusable again and has to go back in. The issues I...

Now I've upgraded to Android 6 on my G4 I was hoping to be able to use some of the features in the stock Google Camera app, but sadly, they don't appear to be there. I've upgraded the app via apkmirror to get the latest version from the new Nexus phones, but the one thing I wanted was slow-mo...

I've had to resort back to using my Nexus 5 as my G4 is on its last legs (despite only being 4 months old!) so is off for repair. I turned my old N5 on this morning and it started doing a load of security updates since it hasn't been on for a while, and then needed to download Marshmallow. I...

Over the past couple of days my G4 has been having weird charging issues. Technically the problems started a week or two after getting it, as it wouldn't charge at all with the supplied cable but I swapped that for another in my drawer and that fixed it. But now I have a new issue and nothing...

Has anyone managed to get slow motion video working? I've set it up inside the camera app but when I then shoot the video and play it back it's always in normal speed. The sample videos I've seen on YouTube of this feature look really cool but I can't work out where I'm going wrong in getting...

I seem to be having a few issues with photos on my new G4 - both taking them and using the Google Photos app and inbuilt Gallery app. First off, on any other Android I've had, it doesn't matter which way up the phone is held, it knows which way is up. By this, I mean that when held in landscape...

Got mine ordered today and it'll be here tomorrow! Can't wait as my Nexus 5 is really on its last legs requiring a couple of reboots a day, appalling battery life, and general niggles that make it so frustrating to use. But, my G4 will be here and I can't wait to play with all the cool stuff...

Hi all, I'm having some really annoying problems with Google Play Movies that have been happening since Christmas and only on my N7 2013. I took advantage of some free film offers over the Christmas holidays and added Gravity, X-Men and Sherlock Holmes to my library. I've tried watching them...

Hi guys I've been using my Nexus 5 as a sat nav quite a lot recently and am starting to run into problems. First of all is the actual charging/battery draining.... I am using a Samsung charger which my N5 says is delivering A/C current (rather than USB) but after 1.5 hrs of driving with...

In recent weeks on my Nexus 5 I'm having real problems installing apk files from non Play Store sources. Latest example is the latest version of Hangouts which allows merged SMS and Hangouts messages which is available through a link on Android Police. Once the apk is downloaded and I click to...

Hi all, What's the deal with this on YouTube? https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HMXlLFxYZsk/UnpH1mMqz0I/AAAAAAAAAh4/q0kvoJIjBrM/w480-h500-k/2013%2B-%2B1 Every video I watch is really dark (but only in the YT app) and always has this Chromecast button in the middle (which does nothing -...
