Have had my (AT&T) LG G4 w/128g sandisk memory) for the last few weeks trying to get used to it. Coming from a GS4.
Before I return the phone, I was wondering if the problems are common and/or have fixes.
I called LG, they ONLY wanted to do a factory reset. Nothing else. Ah no. Took me weeks to get to this point. Not starting again! If I have to do this every few weeks..that would get old, fast!!
The phone will freeze solid a few times a day, for a couple minutes or so..Literally turns into an expensive Hershey Bar. When it comes back, it is slow. I can reboot the phone, and it is fine for a while longer...(after it executes the stored taps while it was frozen)
The phone is just slow. I turn the camera on, takes 5-10 seconds to come on, about 5 seconds to take another picture. Pictures are great, however.
Slacker radio (even in offline mode) freezes every few minutes (have to hit play again on the phone). Sometime the app just goes away and I have to relaunch it.
Music freezes regularly (app freezes or songs stop playing or app closes all together)
Waze freezes regularly
Gallery can take 10 seconds to open. Slow to go pic to pic...
When it freezes and you hit the screen a few times.. It remembers the taps and stores and executes them all at once in a frenzy
I have fewer apps than on my GS4. I selectively reduced then when migrating to the G4.
I am not a power user. 90% of what I use is Slacker and Waze. Time to time check Facebook and email.
I am taxing the phone less than my galaxy, but the phone, as it is now, is slower in all respects. The only thing superior, at this point, is the quality of the camera.
It is just behaving badly. This is my first LG, I am withholding judgement on the phone til I can get the bugs out..but got to keep an eye on the return date (90 days) so I can return it and revert back to the GS4 if I need to, since there is no other good phone out there that fits my needs at the moment (unless Samsung decides to put back a removable battery/memory chip)
Thanks!!
