I chose this phone over Samsung this time because of the the incredible memory that it comes with, but it has features that are really frustrating me and I just can't figure them out or change things. Here is a run-down:
Date and Time:
I can't keep the time on the 24 hour clock. Every time I turn my phone off, it reverts the settings back to the 12 hour clock.
I can't find a way to have the date read DD/MM/YY(YY)
Keyboard Functions:
The predictive text is a joke compared to Samsung's. They give you only 3 words and most of the time the words suggested are a joke and you're pretty much forced to type in each individual word, along with adding a space after each word. The predictive text also doesn't complete words for you if you type a partial word and hit the space bar. Not to mention that a lot of the predictive text doesn't make any sense when typing words. You try typing one word and it gives you a completely different set of word suggestions completely irrelevant to what I'm needing.
Also, each key doesn't provide you with symbols and foreign language letter, it's simply symbols. While it's nice to have the symbols, it's frustrating that the foreign language letters are not provided.
Emojis. What gives? The Emojis on the Galaxy, at least my old Galaxy A5, that FB translates to their own are so much better than what the LG G8 ThinQ has. On the same token, the Emojis for general for the G8 ThinQ for chatting online and within texting are equally as bad.
Is there any way to change all the above to make it feel, look, and function like my beloved features that
my Samsung Galaxy A5 provided?
General Functionality:
I don't understand what the notch at the top is for, but when I try to change it so that it doesn't exist anymore, it keeps reverting to showing the notch again each time I turn my phone off or restart it. How can I get it to function like my Galaxy?
Camera and Gallery:
The gallery is so difficult to use and it keeps sending me to my photo editing apps to do the quick touch-ups that I'd normally do in my Samsung Galaxy gallery such as filters and resizing. How can I make this like the Galaxy?
I'm sure that there will be more that crops up, but this is all for now.
Thank you!!!!
