Here is a thread of experiences with the G4 that can be considered as b**ch thread but it is real and I thought I'd share it with everyone because I have to let out the steam somewhere or I will let the phone have it.
Got a new one when I signed up with Varizon 2 months ago.
So it worked fine for the first month and a half and started noticing some strange stuff happen. Really slow, it would even lag from screen to screen. Random stutter even when there 1.4 gig of free ram. I thought ok something is wrong here let me do a factory reset maybe an app is misbehaving.
Factory reset, set up as new phone and worked without apps for 2 days, continued to have very nice lag along with outrageous numbers of miss taps. My phone started rebooting when I get phone calls.
Off to the Varizon store to get a replacement. I got one in my hands. Set it up as a new phone downloaded the main apps, facebook, twitter, gasbuddy, swiftkey. So phone worked somewhat fine for a bit and all of a sudden 5 ghz frequency on my wifi at home does not work with my phone. The bluetooth keeps dropping with my smartwatch and OMG lagg, my computer which I program for work has 4 gigs of ram and this thing has 3 and it is stopping on every swipe to a different home screen. So I called Varizon support -- from the call my IQ went down a couple of points. Anyway a factory reset because swift key could be causing an error.
As I am talking to the dude from Varizon wifi drops, bluetooth drops, and the phone lags I have a new phone on the way because something is wrong with the processor supposedly on this one, not the radios.
Here is the kicker the problem that has not been discussed is there is this nightmare of a program called LG Voicemate that also makes music almost a nightmare, I plug it in the car, a prompt to agree to their terms comes up music gets interrupted and plays for exactly 3 seconds and stops. I click on the prompt and after 5 minutes the music is somewhat listenable. I have to reconnect the headphone jack into the phone about 3 times so I do not have to wait 5 minutes. The best of all I cannot disable this program without root.
So I feel cheated by LG and I do not want this nightmare any more. Having an older brother who picked up the note 5 I get laughed at for paying as much as he did and his phone freken works like butter. Is there any hope? Any of you having good experiences?
