LG G4

Anonymous

Yep, my G4 died after 5 months of use. As i got it used i have no way to claim any warranty or something, so i've had this expensive brick sitting in a drawer for almost 2 years now. Piece of garbage smartphone. If someone reading this is considering getting it, drop the idea as it is a lottery wether you buy a good G4 or one with an expiration date. Get an Xperia Z3 instead

No official OS nougat firmware yet for LG g4 mxm

Try limiting the amount of apps running in the background. Also, try rooting, getting a different custom rom, and try to limit CPU speed (there is also a thermal pad mod you can do to help cool down the phone and prevent the infinite bootloop error). If you are using the phone for gaming though, I highly recommend doing the thermal pad mod, as it can boost performance by preventing throttling and cooling the phone down. Also, for better battery performance, I recommend using a aftermarket battery with a higher capacity. It may be a bit risky for you, but I can confirm that it is safe and can extend battery life by a few hours (find on ebay, but go for the 5,000 mAh ones, watch out for the 10000 mAh as those are complete scams).

When that happened to me, I brought it into lg's support and they had to exchange the whole motherboard, which means I lost practically everything since I didn't use lg backup. After googling a bit, I found out that is a recurring problem with LG G4, that after 1/2 years, the motherboard dies. after replacing it, my phone was never the same, it started overheating very easily and batteries lasted only 1 year.

you may try a new battery I though my wife g4 was damaged with soldiery but it was battery instead .. try another battery it doesn't have to original so you will know where the issue is.

Folks, My Lg G4 doesn't go further when switching on, it only repeats LG now and again, again continuously. Tried to flush it, it still does the same thing. Any idea to help plz?

Halgurd

It is a good mobile with excellent features, but it is not good for playing games, just good for general use, internet, youtube, web browsing, lg g4 serial number starting with 0500 to 0509 , their mothrboards are faulty, they stop working after 9, 12, 14 or 17 months.

Anonymous

Very good phone even in 2019. Android 9.0 can be installed on it via custom rom from xda. If you consider buying one please make sure that the motherboard isn't from 2015-they are all faulty and will bootloop at some point(hardware problem). 2016 and 2017(rare) motherboards are much safer. Battery is also bad on this phone,even after oem replacement. It will last for about 3.5 hours screen on time(this means when you use the phone),if its an old battery even less. However a custom big size battery can be installed,but this will make the phone thicker. G4 will also often get quite got when playing games. These are the only negative things that I can say about the phone. The speaker is loud and good quality,camera is great as well. Screen is also very high resolution and good quality. The button placement on the phone is very comfortable. The size of this phone is also nice,its a bit smaller than my other phone oneplus 5,although same screen size 5.5 inch. I wouldn't recommend this phone if you are only planning to play heavy games on it as the heating up will become annoying,performance in games is average,though- I would compare it to a 150 euro brand new phone. In case you are wondering,pubg runs well on low graphics settings and low fps(24)-you can also enable medium settings and medium fps(30) but the phone heats up more and this causes lower performance. General usage as youtube,social networks,web browsing is fast and flawless.

I bought this phone about 3 months ago (H-815 Model).. Overall...the phone is good. Gaming is perfect, taking photos is also good. But the main issue here is the battery life. On a full charge and with normal usage, i barely get by with just 2hrs 50 mins.. When i installed the Accubattery app... It showed that i had 1750 maH of battery life left I bought a new battery and it still gave me the same results... What should i do ?..I really like this phone

charan

Install " Perfect 365 " app in it..... you photo will be photo shopped by default, you will love it.

The worst phone ever , heat up,freeze, auto reboot, poor fm, camera invalid....

My guess is that u are from bd.i want to know from which shop u bought your phone and the adress of the shop.THANK YOU.

I have bought a LGG4 3 months ago by paying incredibly cheap price..it's running on lollipop version. It has impressive performance great cameras and a super hd display. It has so many software features too. Battery life is pretty average and fast charging works very well by fast charger(55% in 30 mnts). And for gaming it's a very good device I am playing some big racing games like asphalt 8 on high graphics settings nfs no limits and pubg on default settings runs pretty smooth..whole things are beyond all my expectations.

byaloepz

5 years with the phone, never had a problem, still working like new and cant find a better one for the same price nowadays. Other versions of this like lg g5 is perfect but g6 sucks, dont waste money.

TheWildShadow55

I have a G6 and it's fantastic compared to a G4, it doesn't bootloop and such, the only problem is the screen retention

TheWildShadow55

Not in 2019. You'll probably end up buying one that bootloops in very short time since the phone is 4 years old

Aptiva

Honestly don't buy this phone. Spend the extra few bucks and get a G5 or even better the G6 if you're looking for a previous gen flagship

Please guys help me out l want to buy lg g4 please is it a good phone to use

TheWildShadow55

Can confirm, mine broke in that exact amount of time

Dont do it

Is not worthy, I bought it 8 months ago and the motherload has already broke...i need to replace it and even if I do I can not trust it won't happen again...

G4 veteran

Had this phone for 3 years now. Had the bootloop after 1 year of usage. Replaced the motherboard, luckily phone was stil under warrenty. I dont play heavy games on it anymore but when i look at the modern midrange phone specs the lg g4 still competes with the latest brands an has the tech of todays phones. I picked up a p30 lite an found no difference between my phone an the Huawei. I dont need an upgrade an will continue using the g4 till it breaks.

halgurd

I bought lg g4 h815 global version from HONKONG, after one it has so many problems such as screen getting stuck when a call comes to me to answer, the loudspeaker has resounding problem by the caller, it is a lobile for hard ware is a piece of garbage, but for specs is xcwllwnt.

Boyan75

I bought this phone about a yr ago refurbished set for $75. I knew it has a bootlag issue but wat the heck. Its 75 bucks. I use it as a 2nd phone. I use it when I dun want to drain my main hp or it is charging. It also takes great photos. Organizing my ig and fb with it. The things i wont not do with this phone are playing heavy games and multitasking with this phone for long period of time.

tommybertsen

I have this phone for a little over 3 years now. Serving me as a second phone the last 15 months, this has been excellent. Still using it for taking photos, cos the Mi Max 2 is rubbish for taking pictures :) It has better cameras than most of mid-range phones that are out nowadays. I haven't got bootloop, so I believe that either I am lucky, or people are overeacting about how many devices possibly got a bootloop. Either way, this phone is slow and the specs, for today's apps, are low, but it's overall good. I will not sell this one, as it has been my favourite so far, after LG Optimus G (which still works fine with custom roms and stuff).

Reliable isn't the correct word. if you have a G4 that hasnt bootlooped, it's only because it hasnt happened yet. This is by far the most unreliable phone i've had since replacing the motherboard could end in the same problem. Theres no way to repair it properly.

Halgurd

This mobile in quality is rubbish, but for its specs are excellent. in my opinion quality is much more important han specs, what are you gonna do when it will have many problems after one year or abit more upwards.

Halgurd

I bought lg g4 h850 ( globalversion), this mobile has excellent specs, but for quality is rubbish, after 12 months or abit more upwards so many problem start, like touch screen freezing, CPU dying suddenly.

is it worth to buy this mobile in 2019? thanks in advance.

I had the bootloop issue, I told them that if my phone was a suspect of problem, how come they didn't inform me of it before I was out of warrenty. It was discovered in April of 2017, they shut up and replaced it.

mine is 3 years old. It works perfectly and I mean perfectly. Rarely overheats and only in summer days. Great camera, very reliable in everything.

I purchased the 2017 and now it is dead (bootloop). It started with overheating, then lags and now it is dead.

Buy it from your country, if you buy from aliexp. then you have to wait for a long time.

The LG G4 is a great phone! I bought mine refurbished. Everything works beyond my expectations. It has one of the best 16mp cameras available in phones. It handles every kind of app imagined. Infact, I installed an outstanding scientific graphing calculator app that's as good as any $300.00 one and free! Its got 32g internal and 32g added. Its a great device. It will keep up with the best of the current phones and the battery can be replaced!!!! You will need a protective case as its a slippery little jewel. Your going to love this phone!

Nixium

I bought LG G4 in august 2015, in june 2016 motherboard had been changed (autoreboot, system issues), in january 2017 bought new battery (phone was so hot, battry blew up later) otherwise I must say all works good. In general I am satisfied with this phone. It would be very welcoming if LG offered a cloud to upload backup in case you don't prefer Google taking care of it.

Bella

Unfortunately after 2 years my LG g4 died. It started having issues like freezing in the cold weather and overheating a month after I bought it. It always gave me problems. Funny thing is that I reset my phone to delete many apps to avoid this overheating problem and now it doesn't recognize anymore my gmail address. Stupid, stupid phone! Just a waste of money. My phone shuts itself down if it is cold outside and hot outside... totally useless since in an emergency situation you can't use it. Bought it in January 2017 and died in January 2019.

LG-WB "Looks Good-Works Briefly". I had this phone for 6 months and it started going into a boot-loop, then just died. It was never dropped and never got wet once but when I sent it back to be serviced they claimed it had corrosion from "water-damage" on the inside and refused to honour the warranty. The only reason why it would have any water on the inside would be from ambient moisture which translates into poor design.

Pixel 2 or 3 XL would fit your needs.

Dj

First of all, I really like this phone. I like its feel, I like its design, I like it's software, and I like its hardware. On paper this is a great price/performance quality phone. But after a year of heavy usage, I can't recommend it to anyone. The battery life is terrible, the phone overheats during trivial non-gaming tasks, the notification led is stuck on green all the time, the play store works only on 4 days out of 10 for no reason, ram is too small, touchscreen sometimes lights up for nothing, battery is being drained crazy when the phone is absolutely inactive. But the leather back-cover is absolutely fantastic. It's not a terrible phone, just poor in quality. Just pick a better one.

Try changing the battery

LG no more

LG made a mistake with this phone, and then just turned its back to customers. LG never again.

Sala

If you got a 5xx early series, yes, this series have a known factory problem. :(

This phone only worked for almost a year, and suddenly it stopped working. Definitely not a good choice.

mindworks

Use a compatible charger. chargers with 1 ampere output doesn't charge its battery efficiently. For other issues try a hard reset.

You can get a second hand unlocked motherboard in DHGate dot com for around $50-90 depending on the sub-model you need it for.

Sala

Try a factory reset. If this will not rezolv conecting problem, your phone it's not compatible with the network, try another SIM of another network.

I got one for a 2 years from now, every day use, no gaming ...still strong.

My lg g4 serial nunber begins with 616 ... Am i faceboot loop problem ?

ShelteredSkater

Of course, for roughly a little extra, the LG G5 would suit for perfectly, gorgeous looking and sharp display, and amazing dual cameras, with a Snapdragon 820, if gaming becomes something you want to do too then you'll be perfectly fine. However if you want with a little more of a similar price then check out the Sony Xperia Z3

i just bought this fone from online store and what i face is battery charging is too low even in whole night i did not become 100% .

Hi there, I totally found your review of the LG G4 accurate and helpful! Thanks. I also loved the phone. The bootloop issue has just started now. I've tried all the tricks and nothing has worked. Do you have a good recommendation for something that could replace the G4? I mostly need great camera and good reading screen. (Won't be gaming.)

ShelteredSkater

Hi there. This phone will be perfect for your mother, most mothers take countless photos so the camera on this phone will be more than enough for her, however, if you do have the extra money then you should totally go for the LG G5 but the G4 is more than perfect.

I should buy

hello, i want this phone for my mother, is great ?,please , help me.

ShelteredSkater

Hey there everyone, If you're somebody who has this phone or wants to purchase one but is afraid of this awesome phone boot looping then please allow me to help. This boot loop issue shouldn't be a problem to anybody who does there very best to keep this phone cool, this phone can do everything you need it to do, record in 4K, play all your games, let you watch your movies, let you listen to your music and run all your apps without any trouble, in doing this, please always try keeping this phone away from it's heating zone, avoid getting it hot or pushing it and this phone will smash in everything. If boot loop is too occur, please place the phone in a freezer for roughly 30 to 40 minutes, which will temporarily fix the boot loop, this will allow you to back up everything you cannot lose. Also for the phone boot loops, have the motherboard replaced, then you'll be all good to go and you'll never run into the boot loop problem again, any screen problems too, such as coloured lines flying through the screen when you wake it, this problem is minor however if becomes permanent, refund the phone or get it fixed for a cheap price. Thank you

This is normal for LG G4, the motherboard of mine crashed too, also replaced it for free. It's a manufacturing mistake from the company. Doesn't really mean you can't play games on it. Once you've replaced it, you're good to go

Since 2014. However the battery drains super fast since day 1, when I bought it brand new. This device alongside the HTC M9, and Samsung Galaxy S6 all had the same battery life, poor. Couldn’t believe it ran out so fast but glad it was all fast charge too. G4 still works, but processor has aged bad despite me not using it for games really.

How long is it you have been using?

How longv is it you have been using?, I have lg g4 h850, I have been using for one year, it is working very well, but for specs it is one of the best smartphones, everythingis superb, camera, loudspeaker, speed, full hd , battery average.

Awesome camera quality, even better than a lot of the top smartphones from today. But there is one big problem, the phone is a ticking time bomb. The LG G4 is prone to bootlooping and if you're lucky it won't, but all of the m do eventually. Buy beware, my G4 is still working but I am trying to sell it off before it boot loops and stops working.

Hi, My LG G4 dual battery draining very fast. It was Lollypop when i bought. Due to some hardware issues they have replaced the hardware and upgraded to MarshMallow. Facing this issue after upgrade. Battery is good. I donno whether downgrade/upgrade is possible. if so, will it fix this battery issue. Can any one please advise.

Amir

I bought g4 in 2015. after using about 6 month the phone didn't start up and i realised it's a general issue of this phone. so hopefully i bought this phone with a warranty that repaired and changed the phones board for free but I lost all my data on internal storage. after using 3 years the phones battery draining faster than before. but apart from these issues it's working quite well for me. the screen and both cameras working well. also i got 2 batteries and a charger which allows me to use it for longer time. the screen is 5.5 inches and its large enough to use it conveniently.

Antdog

Thank you I'm thinking of buying it on offer up

JMac

I bought my G4 new at a discount 18 months ago, the 5th LG phone I've had since my Nexus 5. It had the features I wanted and at half its original price was too good to pass up. Over the G2 it replaced the first thing I noticed was the significant improvement in call audio, much clearer and louder. The camera is still above average at 2160p, and the music playback quality is about as good as I think I've had on any device I've owned. The nav button slider is something I like a lot and any phone I buy in future will need to have a variation on this feature. I also noticed that the screen was much brighter than my previous phone. After all this I don't completely understand why the battery life was so poor. I got a larger replacement battery and this is holding up well after about a year. I had a minor issue with overheating but this is now less usual (probably thanks to updates) although it can get a bit warm if I look at maps for more than a couple of minutes. I'm deciding when I might want to replace it. The key issue here is probably going to be battery life and that the next phone will need an upgraded camera at 2160p. I don't think I'm in a hurry to do that yet though. When I do it is probably going to be another LG model as I've always found these to be good quality - I've never broken an LG screen - reliable and, in the UK, affordable.

I've had this phone for 2.5 years. Bought it when G5 came out and got a good discount since it became "previous model". The 3GB RAM ensures it can keep up with the newer apps. Had issues with it unable to end calls at times, and I had to force a restart by pulling out the battery. But an update to the system software later resolved this. Had been using it heavily and I have no complaints really. I'm buying a new battery and hope to squeeze at least another 12 months with this phone.

Help.

Rob

The truth about the LG G4 is dramatic and potentially tragic for data that isn't thoroughly backed-up. The G4 has an inherently faulty motherboard that freezes in the well known "boot loop," and then can crash completely. I've had two (because of warranty replacement) and the only LG fix is to wipe your phone and start over, with less reliability than before, and none of your lost data retrievable! Stay away!!

very good performace good display low price camera is not much good for low light but in day light it is very good battery timing is normal restarting problem is very common in this phone that leads to dead board

Does it support LineageOS officially?

Jijell

There is indeed an official Nougat update but this was apparently only available in Poland. Check out this topic at XDA for installing it on any H815 variant: You will have to unlock your bootloader but this is easy (you just have to register an account at LG and perform a few simple steps with the phone connected to a computer), the unlock will be sent to you by email. Then you can flash the update. I have installed it today and it works great.

For safe and lasting use always check the running of unwanted applications which drain battery. LG G4 is the best smart phone if using carefully.

I had my LG G4 H815 since 2015 and I'm still using it till now as my primary phone (my other phone is iphone 6). The thing I like most about this phone since I first bought it is its camera, both front and back. I it is very good in low light conditions plus the wide lens for the selfies has always been very good when taking group selfies. Also the manual controls give it a sense of using a pro camera although I scarcely use this mode. I hardly faced heating problems, I guess a few times in the last 3 years, which were all related to serious heating, like leaving the phone in direct sunlight in the summer or playing an intensive game like need for speed for more than an hour in a poorly air conditioned room and so. Battery life is average, but the fact that it has removable battery is very satisfying, since I got this phone it was a promotion that I got with it an extra battery with an external charger, so I almost never leave the phone wired to the charger (actually I got used to this, and now all new phones have built in batteries so I'm kind of stuck in here) instead I charge the other battery and exchange batteries. Although I am generally satisfied with this phone that I thought about buying another new one that is dual sim (I finally decided not) but I have to mention that I faced the following problems in the first year: 1- Suddenly the screen stopped displaying properly giving strange colors then turned totally black. The service center said it was a faulty screen which is a rare condition and almost no one had this issue and exchanged for me within the warranty. 2- The popular bootloop issue: I faced it after around 6 months from buying the phone, the service center said it is a common issue in early editions which have specific serial numbers and mine was one of these. The problem was something related to the mother board and they got it changed within the warranty. 3- The phone fell over the carpet while vibrating and since then it stopped vibrating. The service center changed the vibrator motor within the warranty. Generally the service center (in Egypt) was very professional and helpful, and they solved all the problems without much debates, however it is not good to have to leave a new phone at the service center 3 times in the first year even if you'll pay nothing because you're still in warranty. The funny thing is that I never faced any serious problems after the warranty has expired, even though in the last year (after more than 2 years of extensive usage) the double tap to unlock is becoming harder (this is an LG feature where you can turn on the display without pressing the unlock button instead you double tap the screen). Finally I have to say that generally I am a good phone user, usually my phones last for years before they breakdown. The last phone I had before the G4 was a Samsung S4 which was very good for the first 6 months but got worse after every OS update, battery getting worse, performance getting much worse to the extent of getting over my nerves. The phone before it was also a Samsung Galaxy Mini that went dead after one and half years. Before it I had a Nokia N80 that lasted for 4 years until it was totally dead.

mish.mash.

If you never had a heat problem with LG G4, then you never used it at it's peak capasity. I had this device for 1 year and gave it away as a present. The battery problem was getting out of hand. The phone has an excellent display and camera setup, but the battery couldn't handle the Snapdragon and the extreme display. In result to that in summer days using navigation in the car led to overheating and the phone was switching off by itself to cool down. Battery life is a nightmare, never was able to get a day long experience without charging.

I bought it in Aug 2016 in slightly used condition. Never had over heating issues apart from playing games which is normal in all devices. First it starts acting strange when i try to use camera flash as torch and after few weeks camera stop working and then after few weeks my screen shows garbage characters and then bootloop starts couple of times and then it turns off and never recovered. I took it for repair but it doesn't work. Now it's laying in my drawer RIP. I think sooner or later all lg g4 might face killer bootloop.

my lgg4(h811) is suddenly dead not even charging what happened..?

To prevent overheat do check which apps used the most battery, stop or uninstall them

kouav

press power and volume down button

I now have my second LG G4 because the first one overheated, sent it for repairs and they replaced it with new one. (said it was a factory fault).

Also could try wiping the entire cache partition. I guess that can help extensively leaving no such issues.

How can i operate sceenshot on my lg4 phone please

@antony

Shut down and remove battery for one hour and use flash only for camera forget about torchlight. Those things are worked for me. I m using v6.0 has terrible battery life. Yes maximum two hours on screen performance.

techshali

Try clearing the cache partition of your phone. This problem must be associated with the cache memory stored on your phone. By clearing the cache memory it should wipe out this error! Try this method and let me know!

G4

My G4 does that too and the reason is battery. Replacement didn't help in my case either for some reason and I only get 1-2h screen on time too.

pls i need the LG Quad Sim (4) urgently

My lgg4 restart sometimes while using camera. Any idea to solve this problem?

Boot-looping problem with LG G4 can be viewed as fraudulent. I'm done with LG products.

Ali

Yes, most lg g4 phones suffer bootlooping, especially those startingserial number from 0500 until 059...., but if you look after using, it may work more than 2 years.som internet sites , some games , connecting to wifi for downloading or updating apps while using the phone at the same time can cause overheating, you must avoid doing this as much as possible.

Aftab Mahmud

My phn(H811) is overheating during gameplay particularly heat faster while camera use and i have been using this for 4 months. Actually i dont know about bootlooping issue. Is there any possibility to start bootlooping issue on my phn for overheating issue?

Ali

I have been using lg4 h815 for 7 months, it is running very well, but everyone must be careful about overheating for fear of bootlooping, I think if people use this lg g4 properly , it serves 2 years at least although it has factory fault in motherboard, it is a nice mobile in features.

Brenda

I had the lg g3 several years back but I lost it when I did a warranty exchange they quit selling them so I basically got messed around now with that said I've had the s7 edge, the iPhone 7, and now the s8 due to an insurance claim and I will tell you the g3 camera had them all beat the s8 I have there's nothing about it I like but they didn't have any s7 edges to send me in place of mine so I'm stuck with this . It's solid glass and I haven't found a front screen that will stay on it yet I had the same problem with the edge .

Brenda

Are you using a fat charger or a regular one? It makes a big difference you need a 2.0 not a 1.0 charger the package should say fast charger on it. Hope this helps.

Did this phone ever get Nougat update in the UK.

MilesTupelo

I owned this phone for 3 years and it served my well the whole time, up until 3 days ago when it started bootlooping. I'd get another G4 but this is apparently a manufacturer defect and will most likely affect any other G4 out there so I'll have to get a different model.

I really regret getting this phone. Camera stopped working on mine in 8 months and yesterday it started bootlooping. GET THE G6 or G7 INSTEAD!!

Can anyone suggest me a better upgarde in terms of camera from an LG G4.? The current gen cameras look like a joke to me. I haven't tested Samsung or Apple's current gen flagships. But I tested my G4 with some dual cameras of Mi mobiles and S7, iphone 7. The images from those mobiles lacked clarity, something which i really like in G4. I can zoom in and crop the image and can still have a great detail. Most of the mid-range current gen mobiles suck at this, smudgier details may be because they are concentrating too much on the portrait mode.. I saw some last cam standing videos on Youtube where G6 is considered better than S8, Note 8, HTC U11 and surprisingly a lot of people on Reddit and some other forums are complaining that G6 camera is a downgrade from G4 which means G4 camera is even better than S8 and Note 8. I can't afford an iphoneX, OnePlus6, S9plus..or even an LG V30... What about LG V20..??

Harry

Why would you buy a second hand one when you can buy a brand new one on ebay dead cheap.?

anony-mouse

The LG brand has yet again refused to be careful about releasing products in regards to bugs, overheating, the battery getting bad over time, and bloatware. If you do not use cellular networks like AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, or a very few others, then you will be bombarded by apps giving you popups if you do not use the cellular networks that are for those pre-installed apps. I am talking about when you use the Contacts and the screen gives you an AT&T Address Book sync popup. I had to go online to figure out how to remove that annoying AT&T Address Book popup that would show up each time I would go into my Contacts instead of LG being nice to me by not letting me have to remove it myself. That is why LG cares little about you if you have a cellular network that is not AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and other VERY popular cellular networks. Another problem with LG G4 is that the battery goes bad after an amount of time. It drains quicker than it would when you first bought LG G4. Once again another problem is that this phone overheats when you simply play games, watch videos, download anything, etc. It is pathetic because of that. Now, about the bugs problem. LG G4 has been notorious for the bootloop. Good luck finding an LG G4 that does not make the bootloop problem. Finally, do not hold your breath and expect the LG brand to help you if you deal with certain problems with the LG G4, especially with the bootloop. If your LG G4 phone actually works, then people have mentioned rooting your phone, getting an extended battery with a protective case, a fast charger, and a microSD card that can hold more than 32GBs to help you with your LG G4 experience.

Pros, cons, and such: Here’s the deal...I bought a new LG G4 in August of 2015. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. The camera was amazing, and I could not stop raving about it’s features and accessibility. A previous Apple user, I was in love. To my dismay, I was once again an Apple user just over a year later. I’m not too educated on the specifics, but something in the hardware fried due to overheating, a problem that is very prevalent in this phone. The sucky thing- my warranty had just expired. So, this phone is a risk. I am considering going back to LG for the G6, but it’s camera is not as highly regarded. I recommend doing heavy research before purchasing any phone so as not to be disappointed in manufacturer flaws.

AnonD-746851

absolute dawg. I sent it back 3x to LG for "refurb" since I bought it new in Aug '15. 2 MBs, 2 RF boards, 1 screen coz it melted and peeled from the operational heat. Yes, nice that LG refurbed it, but I've never had issues like this even with the iPho 3G. My 2 HTCs prior to this were flawless and the M7 is still by reliable backup and was so for each "refurb" return. In the flip days, I bought many LGs. They have turned out losers and not taken full responsibility for them until the V30. It's (hopefully) finally stable. But no more LG for me.

What is all the bad hype and all the bad mouthing the LG G4? I`ve used other brands in the past, and then decided to try LG. Well that was the best move I ever made. This LG G4 phone has to be the best phone I`ve ever used. I`m even scared to move to the more modern V30`s or G7`s, because this phone has given me no problems since 2015. Yes, after 3 years, the battery is a bit tired. So I replaced the battery, and the phone is kicking on as great as ever!! I would like u guys to compare specs between this phone and the latest phones, and see how good the LG G4 specs still are in comparison. Well done LG for getting this phone right!!

Mine is almost 3 years now. Had the board replaced before it reached its 2 years warranty. What I love the most is its camera. Great photos plus great videos!

Don't feel too confident mine bootlooped after 15 months. But I bought mine in 2015 you know when it was a new and current phone. If you bought one used 14 months ago chances are 1) It's already been repaired or 2) it's from the 2016 year production of G4.

It, LG G4, is my first LG, and could be my last one too. After 2.5 year normal use, it is now hardware fails that it won't be able to boot. It hangs at LG logo screen. A temp fix is to take the circuit board out and use hair dryer to heat the chips, and then it will boot, but only runs about 1 min, then it restarts to the hanging LG logo screen. (bootloop failure).

I have been using mine since September 2015, I guess I may be one of the lucky few who had no issues with the phone, have never encounter the infamous boot-loop issue. Phone is doing okay till now. The camera was phenomenal on release, original bokeh effect etc, and the quality is still on par today. Screen is great and sharp, but only so-so on sunlight. The only issue I got was battery drained. Easily fixed with a new batter and fresh factory reset.

AnonD-746851

doggie of a phone. just sent back to LG for a 2nd "refurb". Time will tell. Gets very hot; >117ºF, bootloops, touch screen stared to peel. Needs 3 or 4 charges to make it thru a normal day. No games, just email, text, minor web, 1 hr video and a 1/2 dozen short calls. I hear the G6 and V30 have fixed these issues, but I'd be reluctant. Too bad. Back in the flip days, I bought 1/2 dozen LGs. All very good and sturdy. Running my old HTC M7 while I wait. Pretty darn stable for an older device. My fave phone so far. If the "refurb" doesn't take again, prolly look to HTC again. I hope they survive.

You should be happy your G4 went over 2 years before bootlooping, I think that's a record in itself. Most go before 18 months. Mine did at 15 months. I payed around $80 USD at a LG service center to have it fixed. After multiple failed attempts to repair/reflow the motherboard they finally replaced it with a brand one.

You bought a new old stock 2015 phone in 2018? The battery will definitely need to be replaced as the original has probably already lost over half it's capacity from sitting and not being used or charged for the last 2.5 years.

I really loved this phone when it worked and had it for 2 years and 2 months. I was very comfortable with it and recommending it to people for some time. Wham!!! Without warning, BOOTLOOP just happened to my G4 a couple of days ago and lost some important data. The shop I bought this from is asking for US$250 to replace the motherboard as the phone is out of warranty. I will never ever ever ever buy an LG mobile phone for the foreseeable future. I signed up in the site just to post this warning.

I had my eye on this phone since '16, bought it 2nd hand last year for $95 here in Seoul. One of best phones, ever. Still blazing fast, bright luscious screen, love the high-res camera (a bit saturated, but i guess great at hiding the skin blemishes ^^), and still using it! Seriously better than any of the recent LG iterations!

I know people like to defend their phones, I know some people go a year without this phone screwing up and go "you're all mad, this phone is fine", but let's be honest guys, this phone is kind of a dud. Bootloop thing drives me insane - I hear that LG startup music in my sleep. I love it all the same, have been putting custom ROMs on it and it's got a new battery etc (at least the battery is replaceable right?), but nonetheless I do wish I'd just got a Xiaomi or something.

Great Machine. Its big problem in my opinion is the camera: it is not configurable, takes huge pictures of nearly 7MB that are unnecessarily large (think about a photo and enlarge the file storing noise in hd). If you use the LG G4, you'll need an app like Simple Photo Resizer to compress your photos in a reasonable size.

I have G4 since two years. I only had a serious camera problem almost a year ago (camera not working at all). In a two weeks timespan they replaced motherboard, in mid 2017. It works perfectly since, very very satisfacted. A relatively recent phone with good qhd screen, microsd expansion, replaceable battery, irda, fm radio, 3.5mm jack, tv-out... NO other phone has them all. Always fast and reliable. And since my motherboard is manufactured in mid 2017 I hope it's bootloop-free, as I've heard (not sure). Overall awesome phone

Jbrook

I've had it for almost a year, I'm not a fan. The thing I like the best is the camera; it takes pretty good pictures. But ultimately I dislike it because of many little reasons: pre-downloaded apps are alphabetical, followed by downloaded apps in alphabetical order. Rounded back means can't type with it lying flat on a surface because it'll rock. I find the screen too wide for one handed typing. After almost a year, I still have issues typing in general, which I really didn't expect given that I've only ever had Android devices. It loses its charge quickly, and sometimes it spontaneously shuts down even though it'll have something like 20% battery. I'll have to plug it in to turn it back on. I had my last phone for several years and switched because I started having issues with apps. I want to switch up phones now after just less than one year because I would like a better user experience; it's frustrating.

Anonymous

Only if they replaced it with another bad motherboard. The serial number on the new board should be 6xx = manufactured in 2016. If you still got a 5xx board then I'd still be worried. My 5xx G4 got a replacement 6xx board after it bootlooped.

I want to know, does bootloop still happen after the motherboard replacement?

Laurynas

Hey, you can update it manually to Nougat, I did it and its like new phone right now :)

Anonymous

Had it since June 2015, so closing in on 3 years with it; I feel like I can give it a pretty thorough review. It was also my first smartphone, so I'm relatively unbiased. I'd give it a solid 6.5-7/10. I removed a point for every major fault and a half point for a minor fault. One major issue, of course, is the bootloop. To my knowledge it was caused by a faulty contact on the motherboard. Took a week to replace, but to their credit it was out of warranty. -1 for that. The battery life is pretty atrocious and erratic. There have been days where I got 5+ hours of screen on time, and others when I got 1.5-2. You might chalk it up to variations in daily usage, but I pretty much use it for the same things every day. Mostly Messenger (only messenger, facebook app disabled), Snapchat, texting, some web browsing, maybe 10-20 min of youtube videos, 5-10 min of light gaming. Not too heavy, but not light either. Still, other phones do much better consistently in this regard. At times the battery would randomly start draining rapidly even when I hadn't touched the phone in hours. -1 to -1.5 for that, depending on how important it is to you. Classes end around 3-4 for me, by which time it would be at 5-10% battery, so I would just recharge. Keep in mind that it does support QuickCharge, so charging is quite fast. In addition, LG will not be updating the phone past Android 6.0, which basically forces me to upgrade soon. This doesn't really bother me too much though, since in my day to day usage, I don't feel like I'm lacking any features, so -0.5. The last minor issue is occasional slow downs/freezes. Doesn't happen very often, maybe once every few weeks; it is annoying when it happens though, so -0.5 for that. Other than that, the phone is pretty much perfect, both in size and quality. The screen is fantastic, and very high resolution. It is an LCD, which you may or may not prefer over OLED. IMO the colors look very natural. I'm not a huge fan of oversaturation, although I haven't owned an OLED phone before. The Android skin is very light and quite similar to stock. Every day actions are buttery smooth, with no random lags or hitches. The camera is very good, and has lots of manual options. I really like the build of the phone. The bezels are the right size, and the back has a nice texture for a plastic back. The front side really is beautiful. It is also quite durable. I had an Otterbox on it for a while, but I took it off a few months ago because I got sick of it. Since then, I've dropped it directly on concrete multiple times and haven't even had a scratch, let alone a crack.

Lg g4 is a great phone in specifications, it has very good specs, but lg g4 users, nearly most of them , say it is a low quality built mobile for components, because most lg g4s stop after one or one and half year,it has CPU problem, I am using it myself now for 4 months, h815 version, I love it because of the specs, it has no any problem yet.

Very fast charging and great phone, speed while swiping excellent. very impressed with it.

The best way to avoid LG g4 overheating is not to use video calling more half an hour, by viber,messenger, skype,or not to use heay app games,or not use some internet ites for more than half an hour because it causes overheating, not to use wireless connection or wifi hotspot for more than half an hour. Using fast charge samsung plug can charge lg g4 by one hour and ten minutes and let it be on charge for another half an hour, it will be fine.

Its been sooo long since they said they'll give an update. i already upgraded to a galaxy note 8. just keeping my LG G4 as a spare phone now. it bootlooped on me once during warranty. brought it down to LG service center they changed the motherboard and its been working fine till now but i still dont trust it or lg in general anymore. the phone is amazing but the trust towards the company is gone. my previous phone before this lg g3 bootlooped after warranty and my lg optimus g pro touch screen stopped working. sister's lg g6 kept on freezing she had to restart it at least two to three times a day. too many issues they have i was the biggest fan of them... but now that i moved over to samsung i am wayyy much happier. the note series are amazing. heard oppo and huawei is good too. take my advice, as of now LG G4 has some value to it, sell it, get some cash and get a new phone that has nougat in it already that'll give you a future oreo update too

Had the same issue, had to charge the phone several times a day, until the phone died under warranty, I got the motherboard replaced and now it holds up over 30 hours with moderate use, this is how it should have worked since the first day.

I have factory reset the phone several times but the problem still persists. thankx

Hi guys... I am using this for 7 months. The performance of phone is so nice... But the main issue for me right now is heating problem... I can't use this phone for one hour continually.... Until now no boot loop or any issues except heating... Good luck for all I ordered for lg g pro 2...

AnonD-731901

well almost a great phone, one negative thing is the battery timing. it drains even phone is not in use... like 10% to 15% over night drain.

Also battery began to die after 1 yr of usage, specially after upgrading the software, it used to last more than 24 hours, but now its from 8 am till midnight the same day with 3G network not 4G and some times with battery saver. But overall perfect phone & never hangs.

Not everyone has the money for a V20. I got this phone for 100 euros and I'm fully happy with it.

Anonymous

No, it's a waste to buy this phone now. Even in 2017 anyone considering a G4 should have just bought a V20 if they like LG. Don't get me wrong; the G4 had it's 2 years of fame in 2015 and 2016.

Anon

Yes the support is stopped nbut there are many developers of custom roms for this device and using custom roms is much better than using lg’s software as you can tweak the performance and prolong the batt life you can also change it’s resolution and install tweaks and themes for your preference. So it is not a waste to buy this phone you just have to know how to flash custom roms.

Its a 2015 phone and its 2018 now. Its lifecycle is long finished. Anyone who bought this phone in 2017 can only blame themselves.

It's a great phone it 1) it doesn't bootloop and 2 ) it doesn't have the screen retention problem which starts out small but gets worse and worse with time. I also thought people were blowing the whole bootloop thing out of scale but then mine bootlooped too and I thought mine was manufactured later on enough to be safe. Guess not! Just make sure your phone is regularly backed up and imporant files are on the sd card.

Those people backbitten lg G4 you lie this phone really good for everything using it for a year nothing happens phone drops 5times nothing wrong with it still perfect like new I recommend it for everyone

Ali

Most lg g4 users complain about cheap hardware and components of this kind mobile, all say tis mobile after 9, 10, 12, 16 months it uffers from bootloop problem which stops the mobile from normal working due to overheating. The components of this mobile are of bad or cheap quality ,that is why this big problem happens,although it has very good features, but sorry for the quality. Every mobile overheats sometimes due to some games, navigation using, video calling by messenger or viber or skype, but they are of good quality never this problem happens to them, like samsung , htc, sony, nokia, iphone, they have no this problem , and they work more than four or five years if they are not broken or dropped.

"I am still waiting for nougat..." LOL when I read this. Don't hold your breath!

girdapa

I bought my G4 at August 2016. Great hardware, especially camera is better than many newer models. Bootloop issue is dramatic failure but I did not face it until now. May be I mostly used as a phone or camera, not for game so no heating. My main disappointment is battery, in 1.5 year battery is dead. Phone is shutting with a low battery warning at %10 percent so I am in danger when I was reaching to %20 percent. I am using two external batteries for completing the day. From 08:00am to 12:00am main battery discharges then I connect the first external 4400maH battery, at half an hour phone charges and I disconnect the external battery, at 16:00pm-16:30pm phone battery drops to %20 again. Same process reoccurs for the second 4400maH external battery. When turn back my house I am using 3 chargers for charging the all batteries for the next day. I am still waiting nougat for better battery usage but I am disappointed of LG unwillingness or careness of supporting flagship series phones. I will not buy LG again, instead I will buy iphone for their better battery usage.

AnonD-727142

I have had this phone approximately 20 months for now. On 16th months my phone suddenly stopped working. All signs refer to the infamous bootloop issue. Unfortunately, LG is a very unreliable company in such cases. Instead to take responsibility and repair the phone or replace with new one their so-called official service partners focus on the search for excuses to revoke the warranty. It's very annoying. Otherwise, this device has some quite good features like pixel dense vivid screen, radio and IR port, capable cameras on both sides, and micro SD card support up to 256 GB and phone jack of course. Also, the overall design is unique and the same time pleasing. Biggest cons IMO are lack fingerprint reader, outdated OS. Also, battery life leaves to wish for better.

AnonD-726725

This phone may be old, but for someone like me who's coming from one of the worst budget phones ever made the LG G4 feels like a dream. A friend (who happens to have the same phone) recommended the G4 to me due to it's high res screen, big storage options and phenomenal camera. I can just say that she was right about all of those things, 32GB of space + a 32GB SD Card is perfectly fine for me, I never have to worry about running out of space again, the 3GB of RAM is handy with multitasking, the QHD screen looks AMAZING to me, colors are vibrant and it's bright too! Battery life is not the absolute best, but it's not bad either, and again, coming from an LG Leon which had a 1900mAh battery notrious for being, well, shit, this is a huge upgrade for me. I'll probably keep this phone for 2-3 years until it comes completely unusable, then I'll upgrade to the LG GX series phone of the time. The fact a phone from 2015 is still kicking ass in 2017 and soon to be 2018 is impressive. Nice work LG! For those wondering, mine is the 51xxx serial number so luckily the whole bootloop plague won't affect me.

AnonD-726325

I really like the hardware on this phone (luckily no bootloop yet). Replaceable battery is fantastic. However, no Android software or security updates since Sep/16 means this phone get riskier to use everyday. Multiple messages to LG, posts to their Twitter and Facebook pages requesting a bootloader unlock procedure so I can update as I want have been ignored. This policy continues with their new phones. This company does not deserve your business.

That sounds like the beginning numbers to the IMEI number please don't post the whole number. The serial number should be on the box as I don't remember seeing it on the sticker under the battery.

Check the serial number, if it starts with 50x you better be worried. If it starts with 51x you might have to worry and if it starts with 6xx you should be fine.

I have bought LGG4 H815 (global version) on ebay, brand new in october, 2017, since that time I have been using it, but I have not faced any problem, it is a great mobile in features, but the quality, as too many people talk about is of low quality, that is a big concern,which it may suffer from bootlooping after one year of continous usage, so far mine is running very well for more than two and half months.

If you have no problems with it and you are still very happy with it,than ignore LG G6 and wait for LG G7. If you like selphies,our😎phone may have better camera than G6. Atleast when it comes to Megapixels:8Mp G4 vs 5Mp G6 I imagine it will come out somewhere in the first half of 2018. If it proves to expensive or not to your taste,there is always G6 and probably a lot cheaper by then.

Anon

Honestly I'm so pissed off & disillusioned about this phone. Bought this phone in Jan this year & it was excellent. Performance was great, superb camera, fm radio, ir blaster, removable battery. There was nothing to hate about the phone till last month it froze on me & went into the perpetual bootloop. And LG wouldn't repair it under warranty cause it was supposedly water damaged. Regardless it's their damn fault for the bootloop, nothing to do with the water damage

AnonD-718896

I first saw this phone when my son bought one, and he gave me a 'tour' of all it's uses, and I was so impressed that I bought one too. I like taking pictures and found that the quality of the result is awesome. Don't take my word for it, try this phone for yourself! I recommend this phone to everyone, and hope you enjoy this phone as much as I do ;)

After bootloop issue and no support, LG never again.

Had this phone over 24 months with no problems. Its been dropped countless times with the screen still intact. Hands down the best phone i have owned so far after getting used to the size coming from a htc one mini. One thing i would like to seriously praise LG for would be that normally after 12 months phones start to slow down or freeze but i have never had this issue. Now going to dabble with the google pixel XL but i will come back to LG in the future no doubt.

hi, I had the same problem some months ago. Camera always stopping with errors, more and more often. Also I've tried many camera apps. It's the motherboard failing.

Love G4. Been using for more than 2 years. Great camera especially night shots. LG UI is easy to use too. Battery life could be better though. Have changed mainboard under warranty, and changed new screen (burnout), new battery, and in a few days new power & volume button. Compared night shots with Samsung S8 and LG G4 is not far off....very happy!

This was my first lg phone and probably the last one. Despite the fact that G4 has over heating problem and red shadows appearing on screen even with simple web browsing, one thing that really bothers me is the liying about the updates. I mean WTF DUDE. Who do you thing you are? You release the updates just for your people?!!! This is f****'d up. I encourage people to stop buying from this company.

Yes true it's nearly six years since I had brought lg OG. We in India still waiting for a complete update from LG so that the LG g4 becomes volte ready. What's the fun of releasing update if it doesn't provide the basic functionality to users. And on top of that lg g4 has bootloop issues and to add to the story even never models g5 has aslo popping up with bootloop issues. This way companies can't retain the credibility. It's bad and leaves an impression

That was nearly 6 years ago. LG Optimus G was my first love from LG. I wanted that phone so badly but it wasnt available in my country. With LG Optimus G, LG tried to enter the competition and they made and excellent device that could compete Samsung's Galaxy S3, but they failed to launch it outside Korea and USA, and even bad history of LGs slow updates caught E975. LG G2 was the real winner, with it LG succeeded and finally was able to compete with Samsung. Now, LG is not that slow with updates, they usually manage to release update before Samsung. LG G4 received Marshmallow 1 month after Android 6.0 was actually released and it was the fastest update. You can check Android Authority update tracker and see that LG released updates a lot faster than Samsung did for their phones that were released at the same time as LG's.

AnonD-699494

Hassan, you'll have to google for poorly coded game app or maps maybe. Possibly a logger in the background. Clear cache on each app, maybe disable Google core, playstore, reboot.. play around a bit. Sometimes a virus from a website can make a number change, but have doubts storage is really full..

AnonD-52400

I was once an lg lover since I got lg e975 in my hand and after it came lg g2. What made me switch to some other brand is slow updates to its premium devices. I waited for two years for an update to my LG e975 although it was the Samsungs rival..... Lg for God's sake learn from the past and learn how to keep your customer base happy and motivated... At least if u fail to provide software updates provide a path of firmware to make your devices volte ready so that your customers aren't pushed to buy new handsets which obviously won't be lg

I got this phone when it came out and got a boot loop problem. Then switched to a galaxy s5. But when i broke my s5 and tried the s6 i hated the galaxy phones because they just weren't as good as the g4. I eventually went back to a g4 and have been using it again without any problems . The price and performance of the g4 is crazy. If you want performance the g4 is better by alot vs same flagship phones in its generation. Most people dont keep these older phones more than a year anyways. Lg has problems but so do other phones, for me as a techy guy the g4 has more pros than cons easily, no problems here 2nd time around.

AnonD-704540

Superb phone, gorgeous design, just slightly curved to not scratch the screen when you place it face-down on the table (or when it hits the ground), with a classy black leather back without any branding (that also helps you feel the orientation of the phone in the pocket), extremely customisable (only try some of the b/w themes), a phone that has no scratch after 2 years of using it without any screen protector or case. Just the phone, thrown face-down on the table after each call, pushed in/out of pocket, heavily stressed the screen answering tons of emails daily. Only consider that this phone, released more than 2 years ago, still goes strong spec-wise against the current mid-top range: if you put a filter on 5-5.5", 3-4GB, 3000+mAh, 1080p+, 32GB+, this one shows up in the search now, September 2017, and it was released in April 2015. Eh? And it looks good/original comparing to all these new identically-looking rectangles with round corners, same front and back, extremely glossy and, with a few exceptions, with massive branding on the back, for everybody to notice how much you've paid on your indistinct expensive phone (that looks different than somebody's else expensive one only by carrying another word or, sometimes, a fruit or so). I'm only thinking to buy a replacement battery cause, while my G4 still holds a day of charge, it's not like in the beginning, now I keep it with the screen dimmed to get home with 30-40% battery. Lucky me, the battery is replaceable and costs about €10. In my opinion, the only other phones that achieved the same coolness, look/feel and stand the test of time were HTC One M7 and M8.

lg g2 is better than g4

Phlo

Have G4 two years now. Never had problems. But I was always afraid. And because the battery life and overheating issue (I don't play games) while using camera, FB or navigation, I moved to Samsung. I had many apps on G4, more than 80 and after two years of use it was lagging. After I bought the S8, I only used the G4 as second phone, factory resseted it, fewer apps, w-/out 4G, only WiFi and BT and with one full charge it lasts 1-2,5 days, depending the use. LG has nice feature and loved the rear buttons. But connecting to 4G/4G+ it just drains the battery. UI needs serious optimisation. But Samsung has better UI, because I manage to end a day with only a full charge. But I miss the double tap to wake the phone.

I've read many comments on this forum, and I can say that my LG G4 has been perfectly in service for almost two years, and it has a 507 motherboard. Maybe in a more recent time I switch to the LG G6 if this phone breaks down. I have no objections to the operation of this phone. A few months ago he stayed in the car and in the car was very warm and he went out alone. I thought it would not work anymore, but since then there have been no problems. Greeting

LG uses to leave devices with bootloop issues. The best example after our G4 is the V20, which was presented just one year ago. I think we won't receive any Nougat update

How do i switch off flash light when incoming call come in

AnonD-219742

It is 100% sure it already bootlooped. Dont waste money on battery. Don't waste money to repaire or replace motherboard .Believe me i suffered the same issue. I have read in internet this issue keep comming back even though you replace the board. The only thing you can do is heat the motherboard using an iron to its maxm heat for 15 min( heavy iron is ideal as it apply pressure on chipset while heating). Keep the iron on top of main 2cpu. Then let it cool 30min. Then take a peace of paper and bend it to make thickness same to atm card( may be little more than that). Then place it between display and main chip and assemble the phone. This method works for me for 5days. Then need to repeat.even after this if your phone fail to boot, try with plugging charger. If it boot with charger that mean you have bootloop plus bad battery. I have been using this for 1.5 month using this method.you can find youtube videos to see practically

Have you tried changing your battery?

Hi , I've been using my Lg g4 with Nougat update for 1 week now.. everything works fine. battery last for 2 days in stand-by mode but drains fast when I using the phone. Mine is a Korean version. :)

AnonD-173209

One of the best device i used, Superb display, Great camera, no laggy.over all everything perfect. but after some months of usage battery drains faster.But im unlucky, i used this phone only up to 1 year and a month, after that phone goes to critical stage.when i switch on logo only appears in screen.As i heard LG G$ have issues named loop booting. Even the warranty is over i will not get replacement.Now the phone is with me without any usage.

g6 user

this is weird mine is doing it too . im on lg g4 us991 unlocked version MM os , I wonder what is this about maybe the sensor that controls it is defective, I tried to fix it like it used to happen with my old lg g2 but hidden menu didn't work . .. it works perfectly fine screen is responsive and has no dead spots but weird that it some times laying down on a table screen turns on by it self...could be possessed

AnonD-699470

I did and I also downgraded to LL. The problem remained and I updated to MM

Have you factory reset the phone.

AnonD-219742

Mine was ghost touch just before the bootloop. Ghost touch is an indication of future bootloop according to my experience. So dont waste money on this again as you already change your motherboard. I have seen in some forums people who have replaced the board, also vulnerable to bootloop again.

This is the first sign of bootloop that's going to occur soon. I've seen that on my LG G4, now bricked, in bootloop.

I'm also a G4 customer burned by LG over bootloop shortly after warranty expired but it's really amazing to still see many comments about this. The V30 is the 5th flagship level phone they've released since the G4 and the bootloop issue is still haunting them, and it is somewhat deserved, too. They've really turned a lot of people off from their brand (myself included) and all they had to do was fix the problem, instead some bean counter at their HQ gave a PPT presentation to the board of directors stating the cost to fix the problem would be greater than the cost of lost customers so they chose to lose customers. It's really stunning to see how much this has probably affected their business. I recently relocated to another country and had to buy new appliances including a TV, guess what? Not one was a LG and it was all because of my horrible experience with their service center and my G4.

AnonD-516511

My LG 4 remains a fine phone that has been a good performer with no problems. It remains relevant here in 2017 as a great feature packed phone with all the features that made LG stand out from the rest of the herd. I alternatebetween this and my LG V20. Too bad LG has decided to follow the crowd and discontinue features like swappable battery, IR blaster, etc.

How is the Battery working after 7,0 update? better? worse? or the same as with 6,0 android?

lg g4 noughat which version?

Lg in this device and G5 device not have any cooling system installed. That is main problem for bootloop. After some time cpu slow died and first loose conntact with mainboard. First stronger cores died.Slower cores can work long time if you don't playing games, watching videos and dont have 15 apps which work in same time. Cpu load kill him.

Every phone has a flaw, like battery drain,camera issues,getting hot, but this is the worst flaw I ever seen in a smartphone,this is not just another flaw, this is a disaster, unfortunately this going to happen after more than 1year of usage , hence warranty is over. Please don't try to justify lg.

I just read there was an attempted class action suit for LG G4 bootlooping. It was turned down but in that article I read you can contact LG and they will fix the issue even if it's out of warranty. Some comments confirmed this.

TechWizz

Bootlooping is a common problem with the G4 model. Every phone has a flaw, trust me, and this phone's flaw is it's motherboard. It's the component failing and causing bootloop. Only possible solution is replacing it. I've heard many people had this issue, as it's a factory made mistake with the motherboards (possibly a bad weld or something simular). It happened to mine too, but after replacing I had no problems with it ever since. If your phone is covered by warranty or insurance, get it fixed as soon as possible. Beside this issue, it's a great phone after all. Anyhow, good luck with your phone.

Love my LG G4 but it is proving unreliable so I'm just checking in with other LG G4 owners to see how you've been getting on with yours? Earlier on this year it developed "bootloop" and LG repaired it under warranty, but I was without my phone for a couple of weeks while it was sorted. And now it has started having problems connecting to the internet. LG have offered to look at it again but I'm starting to wonder if I should just get something more reliable. The phone is nearly 18 months old now but only gets light and careful usage so I had expected it to last a bit longer. Perhaps that is the expected lifespan of these phones?

if any one is interested in getting lg g4 don't get carrier version or international if your carrier is compatible with usa carrier networks then buy the lg g4 us991 version release by april 2016 or above. even the international has been discontinued , maybe the usa model has some kind of hardware revision guess because while reading comments on this blog most of people relating issues are for carrier version sor international but I have not seen still a us991 comment or if so then it is pretty much near to zero. don't be confuse the own lg is selling the same version as the uscellular carrier but unlocked and no carrier bloat it is completely lg apps only

My LG G4 got a boot-loop as well. My warranty expired in October 2016. So, I called the LG to see how much it would cost to fix that. They told me that boot loop repairs are free of charge. They paid for shipping. Today, after less than two weeks I got the phone back. It works great. The only complain is that it's IMEI changed and it is locked again to Koodo (the original provider). I had to pay 6.99 CAD to unlocked it.

The second website to check both your IMEI as well as your the phone's blacklist status: imeipro.info

AnonD-679537

Go to Setting > About Phone >... ^ Here you will find a 15 digit IMEI number. Remember, every phone has it's unique IMEI number. Go to imei.info and put your IMEI code to check your phone model and further details. So if you are looking to buy a used phone from somebody. Ask for the phone's IMEI code first. If the IMEI code matches to the phone he is having, it means it is a genuine model handset. Otherwise, the phone is fake if it gives an 'invalid IMEI' on the website.

I was pretty excited for the G4 to be receiving the Nougat update. But I guess it would be a risky thing to update my G4. According to LG, there might be some compatibility issues with the 2015 flagship phone - stating that G4 users will be responsible for themselves if anything goes wrong with their handsets. Lest I don't have the bootloop or any other problem. Looks like I'm going to stick with Marshmallow - still a great Android version.

You should try the ILAPO fix, it disables the big A57 cores which it causes the heat and bootloop, for some people it's the definitive solution for that problem though it disables the big cores and the performance it's reduce for complex apps and games... but if you don't mind that you can use ILAPO. You can find it in XDA and in YouTube tutorials.

Try putting your phone alongside battery in a ziplock bag seperately into a refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

If your device works... you're good, otherwise looks like the infamous bootloop. Good luck!

Sooner or later all G4 and V10 phones will bootloop eventually. It's a design / manufacturing flaw. You can also blame the cheap, poor quality compnents LG use in their phones.

Yup I know how you feel. I thought the whole bootloop thing was being blown out of proportion and thought my G4 would be safe after passing the 1-year mark. Nope. After 15 months of use (3 months after warranty expired) it bootlooped and went I through a very frustrating experience and multiple return visits to the LG service centre at my expense to get it fixed. The whole repair ordeal took 2 months and after several failed attempts to repair the pcb they ended up putting a whole new one in. I'm using a Samsung phone now while my repaired G4 sits in my desk on back-up phone duty now.

Oh yes definitely the handset is great! Looks like I got one of those rarest G4 phones that were refined correctly. Just keeping my fingers crossed and going with the flow. ;)

True, but it almost seems like a 60-40 scenario. It's not usually a matter of if but when it will bootloop. I thought that since a lot of them occur when the phone is under a year old i was safe but that wasn't the case. I guess you have a good handset.

Not every G4 has the bootloop problem. I just bought myself a used LG G4 H812 Canadian model. Everything is great! Phone is in neat condition. Yesterday I watched Despicable Me 3 for about 22 mins and my battery only went from 94% to 89%... I feel great to have it... quite fast and solid curve design. IT IS ALL ABOUT LUCK... I WAS LIKE LOOKING FOR AN EXPENSIVE PHONE for about a year, but always fell short of budget. Glad I got it in less than a 100 bucks. P.S. Got it for 99$ and feels great to have a flagship phone with such high specs in such a price.

I have lost all faith in LG and it really sets you back. I had to resort to taking it apart and using the quick temporary fixes on YouTube so i could sync my data. Strange thing is i thought because mine had gone past a year i was safe from bootloop but i was clearly wrong. LG needs to sort this out as i don't think i would ever buy another LG phone ever again.

i really love my phone and its doing well but the Korean version doesn't upgrade to android 6.0 i dont know what is the problem i been trying to upgrade for now its almost a year but its failing

Last year when my phone was 1 year old boot loop occured. Thank god got replacement of motherboard for free of cost. Exactly after a year again boot loop problem. This year i spent 6000 rupees to change mother board again. Hope it will not happen again.

Go to Setting > About Phone >... ^ Here you will find a 15 digit IMEI number. Remember, every phone has it's unique IMEI number. Go to imei.info and put your IMEI code to check your phone model and further details. So if you are looking to buy a used phone from somebody. Ask for the phone's IMEI code first. If the IMEI code matches to the phone he is having, it means it is a genuine model handset. Otherwise, the phone is fake if it gives an 'invalid IMEI' on the website.

AnonD-197088

how to check and verify imei and genuine ?

AnonD-679537

Oh yes!! After the Nougat update it would be more stunning. I bought this 10/10 clean G4 in 99.13 US$. Yay!! Looks like I'm free to look for a phone intil 2019. :)

And luckily soon updated to Android Nougat ! !

Just got a second hand G4 around 100 bucks... mint condition and battery life is great too. No bootloop of battery drainage problem. Design is topnotch and I feel lucky to get a neat high-spec phone with such an economical price. P.S. I even checked its IMEI code. The phone was genuine. :)

why my lg g4 is only 3g network??? my samsung s3 is more better than this.. but lg poor connection..

Could have easily been one of the best phones out there if not for the below average battery and the ever famous bootloop.

ur handset died bcoz it was in dead boot loop manufacture defect like all g3/g4/v10/v20 which were manufactured. Guys who use g4 from serial number 500-509 pls swap or sell if u can bcoz it will die anytime due to the death bootloop issue the issues hardware has been changed after sep 2015 with serial number staring from 600 are safe serial number (500-509) will die anytime so its a request if u dont wanna carry a brick in ur procket swap or sell asap.

DONT BUY IT. STAY AWAY FROM LG!!! Had a bootloop issue they said that it was caused by ,,mechanical damage". That ,,mechanical damage was few little paint bruises on one corner from holding it in the same pocket as my keys probably.

NaiveGuy

Okay Man. I definitely thought about buying this phone but now that I read your post I will not be buying it. Thank you!

larry

I've had this phone for a few years now. I'll never buy another LG phone. When it works, it works great but I had to send it in 3-4 times for repairs. Now it's out of warranty and the accelerometer is dead again. Last time they had to replace the whole board. A smart phone that doesn't flip, when you turn it, is not that smart. Don't buy LG. Not a quality product. It's a shame because the market needs viable competitors to Samsung and Apple. My S3 still works perfectly.

plz don't buy this crap.i bought 5 months back and now its motherboard expires and dead....went for repair, they told me it can't be repaired.its just waste of money

LG G4 though is a mid-year 2015 G Series model of LG's major flagship model. Eventually, it has ventured remarkably to befit a well-earned place among high spec mid-ranger phones. Pros: Camera is awesome. Battery is decent and does not brag inbetween drainage or ultra long-lasting. Design of the G4 is gorgeous and beats the odds with its perfectly built peculiar body physique. Curved arched edges is elegantly eloquent. Crisp Display for videos/ movies. Gameplay is gadget gentle topnotch. Letting you enjoy cool games together with some cool cranked up 3 gigs ram. Cons: Came 2 years ago. Posh people want lavishing trinklets. Sorry! G4 is humble with technology and the admirers of calm casualness. G4 Will always have haters. The end. Period!

Come on it's 2017 why on earth would anyone still want to buy a G4. If you like LG then get a G5 (super cheap now) or a v20 (cheap).

AnonD-681316

Hey mate, as far as I know, LG never released G4 models without a risk of hitting the bootloop, they just made a new model to release and discontinued the G4. I actually bought one off of eBay and have copped the bootloop problem within two days. There is a solution that someone threw up on XDA ( ) which apparently fixes the issue. It's to do with the BGA solder on the CPU being of sub-par quality (like XBOX 360 red ring of death and early PS3 yellow light of death) and separating. This guy heats up the solder with a hair dryer to soften it and places a small, folded piece of paper between the motherboard and the screen to place pressure and lower the risk of the solder separating again.

Mitch_98

I want to buy a g4. With a recent bootloop problem but all problems have been fixed Anyone think it is safe to do so

I'm annoyed reading almost only negative comments about the LG G4. Yes it's true, the bootloop issue means a bad reputation but to those unaffected are a model with decent audio, clear screen, top connectivity, removable battery and a camera what resist comparison with the latest highest levels.

Love the phone, its quick and the cameras are awesome and take amazing pics. Only issues i have are the battery drains quick which i will get a better 1 and the signal which i believe is just my area. I recommend this phone to anyone, mine is running 6.0 marshmellow very well also :)

unfortunately my LG G4 gets overheated and burn up after one and half year! every thing was ok but suddenly !!!!

AnonD-679745

My G4 just got stuck in the bootloop defect and after returning it to Verizon, they advised me to upgrade since my phone is almost 2 years old & I would have to pay $100 for a refurbished G4, even though I have insurance. So I upgraded to a G6 but they were unable to transfer all my data since the G4 wouldn't boot up. After doing a little research, I found out that there is a class action lawsuit against LG because they knew of this defect in the G4 but did nothing to warn consumers. They continued to sell the phones at full price and even offered refurbished phones to replace the ones returned. The refurbished phones had the same issue. If you have been a victim of LG and the defective G4, contact the law firm Girard Gibbs. Just do a search for Class Action Suit LG G4 and you will get all the info you need.

Nat131977

Avoid LG G4, it gets over heated and burn up, if you have warranty, then LG will replace MB but will take like 2 to 3 weeks, if waaranty is lost then say good bye to your G4 :(.

Rimac

With units not affected by the bootloop issue, the LG G4 demonstrates that is a versatile, well rounded model with the only handicap of the battery fast drain.

AnonD-679379

it's the Best phone ever owned , the only issue after 2 years of use, is the battery that drain too fast, even buying new ones will not resolve the situation , always the same problem, now i am using it with a quick charge 2.0 and that's make life easier, also using a Power bank when needed, But i think LG should think about batteries, they was monster on batteries endurance with the LG G2, then Less on G3 and Even Less on G4, or G5 (2800 mah), in the other hand we have chineese phone with big battery endurance ( Lenovo P2, Xiaomi redmi note 4 .... ) and with good quality also. so that's make LG loose Fans step by step.

More cores does not constitute as a faster or more powrful device. It is hows these "cores" were brought up or desighned. Example a quadcore kryo core which are high performance cores can potntially outform eight low powered cores. The more cores is just for the uneducated consumers who care more about numbers. So for them the more cores it has the better.

my g4 camera also stopped working. Sent to the assistance, after 2 weeks it returned working perfectly. They changed motherboard

Emily

We had 3 phones, and 2 of them crapped out - just like yours is starting to do - at different times. All three had the symptoms you are describing - referred to as "boot looping." There is actually a class action lawsuit regarding these phones going on right now, and we are part of it, google it and check it out if you are interested. All you can do is wait, or do what we did when 2 of the 3 died completely - pay them off and replace them.

Worst ever phone, camera stopped working, every try made but fails, battery is 3000mah but seems like 300mah. Waiste of money , LG should be banned to manufacture Mobiles

The LG G4 is a versatile model. Take advantage of their possibilities. I suggest you the simplest: change yourself the battery.

Sunshine&posies

I got my LG g4 in Jan 2016 at first I loved it. The camera is absolutely stunning and I have no complaints as far as it. In May 2017 my phone started acting up. Battery won't hold a charge, screen won't unlock on tap, I have to use the on/off button. Screen locks up, can't end calls are occasional issues too. I'm not a constant user either. A few texts, pictures & some social media so it should have life left. My husband got one at the same time & it's fine. I'm very frustrated. I have done updates & am controlling battery usage on phone. Any advice would be appreciated as I'm in a contract for 6 more months & don't know if my phone will make it that long.

Thank you for your advice. I'm a old man and my room has AC. Fortunately my unit wasn't affected by the bootloop issue.

No, better go to your LG service center if you are still in warranty and have the board replaced. If not, better not use the phone in hot environment. stay indoor w/ ac lol

First, take the back cover over and try using the phone without the back cover on because it may also be a bad battery swelling causing pressure which the phones screen is interpreting as touches (or try a totally new battery if you have one). If that doesn't work, try a factory reset just to rule out a software glitch. If this two things doesn't fix the problem then there is a high chance you phones screen touch digitizer is damaged. Did you ever drop the phone or sit on it or something?

Let me share what has solved my boot loop problem with my LG g4. I removed the thin metal that covers the motherboard. Then I put a small piece of folded paper on top of the biggest chip on the motherboard (just thick enough like when you put the metal cover, it would push the chip). Then put the metal cover back on. For me, this is my permanent solution as my LG g4 has been working for a month without having the same issue again.

If it is used and has already a bootloop problem, don't buy it. It will cost you around $200 to fix it. Instead, buy a new one and pray to get a blootloop just before the warranty's expiration date, to get a free motherboard replacement. My lg G4 got a bootloop shortly after its warranty expired.

How can I fix my lg g4 boot lop problem

Anonymous

This method didn't really work for me as I could only get my bootlooped G4 to turn on for maybe 1 or 2 minutes using the hair dryer method. However, putting it in a -18C freezer for 90 minutes got me well over 10 minutes of use which was more than enough time to get all my data off.

I guess that the bootloop problem was with the initial batch of phones. You can search for the serial numbers and avoid the older ones ;)

My beautiful LG G4 suffered the bootloop issue the other day. I had the phone for about 17 months. Only when this bootloop happened did I read it is a common problem. I loved the shape, the feel, the red leather backing, the camera and overall use of this phone. It looked different to most phones. I have all the photos of my grandchildren and holidays on it. How do I get them off the phone? So, what to buy now? I loved the similar looking LG V10 but then read it can get the same problem so no go there. The Moto X Force has a backing that is different to the common metal finish. I like to actually see and hold the phone before buying ... as well as reading all reviews.

Unfortunately you are right - mine died with the bootloop issue just yesterday... (until then I was very happy with it) I've been able to initiate a factory wipe after freezing it for a while, but not sure if it completed. Replaced with Moto G5 Plus.

AnonD-664019

I own this phone (LG G4) since October 2015. Few weeks ago it got into the boot loop. Place I bought it has 2 years warranty policy. So I got motherboard replaced and I had my phone back in a week. Phone has great camera and amazing DNG files that you can edit on your phone or PC. I can only recommend this phone. Display is amazing and bright. I am considering to get spare one as I don't see anything as good on the market today.

I bought the phone from a friend , it had some camera problems, sometimes worked, other times not , and when it didn't work , my phone would restart itself. Now I have LineageOs on it and is super smooth , I don't even have problems with my camera now . Since I put this custom ROM my phone feels like a google one , I have android 7.1.2 on it.

AnonD-663776

Regrettably I bought an LG G4. While it worked it was a decent product. But my phone got the "boot screen loop" making the phone worthless. I contacted LG (after reading they were aware of the problem) to see if they would do anything about it. I got the typical run around. A quality company would stand behind their product when there is a manufacturing defect.

AnonD-663586

Hey, i think hey down to your nearest service center to get it checked. May be caused by the motherboard. Hope this helps!

This phone heats up so badly and battery drains faster.

worst phone ever. my phone lg g4 h815, i bought on Claro Argentina and it s turned off and never locked up again

My son is on his 3rd lg g4, appears it's in boot loop again but out of warranty. Bought phone through monthly payment plan in June 2015, so phone is not even paid off yet. Where is info that warranty is extended to two years please? Thank you

Dom

You can say the same for the G3, V10, G5, V20 and even the Nexus 5x. All suffer from bootloop. All made by LG. And now they're facing a class action lawsuit. See a pattern here?

Olien

I understand that apart from the defective lots little can be blamed on the G4.

Dom

I respectfully disagree. I would not recommend buying a product that has a significant chance of going dead in a year or so, regardless of warranty. Buying the G4 would be like buying a bomb, hoping that it won't go off in the future.

This is not a Nokia 1020 or an 808, but, that said it is easy on the eye and the pocket has good enough and replaceable battery life and an EXCELLENT camera IF you can be bothered to shoot RAW files and NOT underexpose. AS with most phones the pixels are tiny and cannot stand much underexposure, but its colour and dynamic range when treated in Photoshop is excellent. Its DNG files-which it had from Day one (why I did not get an S6), are excellent because the very fast 24mm equivalent lens is sharp edge to edge and corner to corner. Its jpegs are rubbish-oversharpened cartoon cutout things, ok for web use but little else. There are HUGE bonuses as it has an EXCELLENT RDS hi-definition FM stereo radio that RECORDS everything off air as you would like, OK? You want a complete opera live from the Met? yeah, record it. A Rock concert, no problem, and with the V20 updateinstalled the sound is even better than it was originally. The panoramas are very HUGE, but they are just huge oversharpened jpegs lacking in definition and you are stuck with them and the varying exposure across a scene (yuch) nowhere near what an S6 or iPhone 6 plus offer. On the other hand you can always shoot a sucession of Raw files at fixed exposure and then stitch them, but that takes the fun out of what mobile phone panoramas do. I have our postman in three places in one continuous shot! Priceless. All in all, it still up there with the very best> you can do 4ft wide single shots on your wall from Raw at low isos with quality so good nobody will know its from a mobile and not a Canon 1Ds MkII at 400iso!! Such a shame Sierra does not accept Android file transfer. Does anybody know a free reliable programme that works with Android phones in Sierra?

I bought a LG G4 and since fifteen months ago works fine. I wish underline that with bluetooth speakers and his 24 bits /192 Khz audio chip, flies high. The V20 Quad compulsory improve it, but, I think, slightly better.

lg g4 is the worst just becoz of its bootloop ,, speacially in pakistan where theres not even a single shop of lg mobiles and repairers ,,, so i dnt recommend lg g4 . overall specs area good n no doubt camera is also superb but after some time the bootloop cause problems

Anonymous

I agree i was absolutely happy with my phone until it bootlooped 3 months after the warrenty finished. Now i've already paid LG to fix my phone and its still got problems and i've had to make multiple trips to the service center over the last 6 weeks to fix it again and again. I dont know why they just don't replace the pcb with a new one.

Olien

I think that if LG repairs correctly the affected units, its legal responsibilities end here.

Feride LGG3

You go man ! Great opinion ! LG is the best

Gago

I am fairly surprised about written comments for the LG G4. I have this phone for about one year now and I never had a single lag or slowing down whatsoever. Camera is absolutely amazing, speaker is loud and clear and the battery last at least for a day when using the phone hard. I am speaking of about 4,5 - 5 hours of screen on time. I have no complaints about screen, signal and speaking quality when making a phone call. My phone is in the series without bootloop problem. The only thing i think it should be better is video quality, I dont like much how stabilization works, but it's usable when you don't shake it much. Once more, LGs phones are the closest to apple devices when speaking about system stability and smoothness and workflow when using it. I literary haven't restarted the phone for more than 4 months, never did factory reset, and it flyes. There is a lot of negative comments issuing bootloop problem and hating the phone, but rarely anyone will come and write a positive comment if they are happy with the phone. If you have bootloop problem, go and return it, your warranty covers it. For everybody: this phone is amazing, and i recommend buying it, especially now when you can find it for about $300 new.

Check the serial number. If it's a 50x serial number I would definately return it.

Ali

there is two generation for LG g4. H810 and H815! So which one is affected by bootloop problem? I bought this device from eBay and I am surprised what the people said. So should I return it? I sent an email to the LG company, they just said any devices come from eBay no warranty on it. I have 30 days for return the device, so please any one tell me what should I do?

Olien

Was the bootloop reproduced later ?

AnonD-660747

Was a good phone until it went shit in 14 months ,bootloop problem.LG extended there warranty for 2 years because of all the problems.Getting a replacement under warranty,and if it does it again i'm through with any LG products.

Don't waste your mon

I didn't like this phone from the moment I got it. Thought the camera focused poorly, battery life not very good for a new phone, loaded with lots of apps I never used but couldn't delete. Then it froze almost exactly​ 14 months after purchase. Warranty had ended and I had a phone that wouldn't turn on or off. It was just stuck on a black screen. No notice, nothing strange before the phone died. Fortunately my carrier agreed to pay off the balance and I was able to get something else. I was told by 3 different employees of the carrier that this is a known problem with the G4. My daughter had a G3 and had similar problems but at least she got 2 years from it. I'll never buy another LG phone. On a side note, I have an LG washing machine which I also hate

AnonD-20890

A5 2017 specs look good. But there is no 24 bit 192 KHz audio chip - meaning you will not get deep bass effect and crisp sound* when using Sony MDR-XB70AP earphones. * means - The source video or audio must be good.

Bootloop issues

I bought this phone because a cellphone store was selling it via loan by an bank, so you can pay it by parts. The store also gave 1 month warranty; at first, everything was great, but after 1 month and few days it started with a serious problem: the famous bootloop problem. I returned the phone to the store and they said that it's the software issue. I waited 1 week and they couldn't fix it. I read on Internet about the bootloop problem and was very dissapointed with LG. I think never would buy their products again. :(

AnonD-651910

That was literally my only issue with buying that phone , but i feel now that its pros outweigh the cons , it's processor is better than G4s right ? and if you exclude OIS and 4K video , it's camera is also the same as LGs right ?

GARBAGE G4

I AGREE! LG Electronics has been made aware of a booting issue with the LG G4 smartphone that has now been identified as resulting from a loose contact between components. Customers who are experiencing booting issues with their LG G4s should contact their local carrier from where the G4 was purchased or a nearby LG Service Center (www.lg.com/common) for repair under full warranty. Customers who purchased their G4 devices from non-carrier retailers should contact an LG Service Center with the understanding that warranty conditions will differ. LG Electronics is committed to providing the highest standards of product quality and customer service and apologizes for the inconvenience caused to some of our customers who initially received incorrect diagnoses.

Love this phone - SD slot, removable battery, great screen and camera (in its price range, of course). But, as it will receive Nougat update only in Q3 (a year after its release - are you kidding me?!), I will never look into LG's direction ever again. It's unacceptable! Such a shame, because G6 looks quite good.

Honestly I've had this phone for a year and it's a stupid piece of garbage. The only reason I still have it is because I'm on a contract. It freezes, it lags horribly and it's battery life is garbage. I have tried everything to fix it and nothing works. Stay away from this useless phone

AnonD-651910

Yeah ... , But it's got the same ol 1080p resolution on that side screen , which would lower the pixel density significantly , a phone with a great screen , camera and processor , i think the Samsung A5 2017 is what i should go for , heard good reviews so far ...

The wide XIAOMI catalogue is a good answer to your request.

Why not A9 pro 2016?. I think thats the minimum model in Samsung that has OIS.

Yes , but where I'm from , it costs much more so i can't really afford it , something like a sub 400$ phone ?

Samsung S6

Yeah but i can't really find a phone around this price range which is about 5.5" or smaller and have OIS , Do you know of one ?

Say in reality. Keep ysing some more months to get bootloop for free. Samsung Note 4 is a better replacement (against G4) with rocking battery backup.

Samsung A9 pro 2016 and C9 pro.

LG will fix your G4 for the boot loop problem. I had mine fixed last December and I just sent my wife's in to be fixed today. It cost me nothing on the first phone and I don't expect it to cost anything for the next one.

Will LG G4 to get an upgrade to Android version Nougat 7.0 / 7.1?

Simo

I bought LG G4 last year in July, 2016. I have now a problem with its screen. The screen is split to two screens. One screen is garbled. It is flickering and hard to see what's in it. I also had charger cable problems. It no more works. What a shit company. NEVER buy an LG phone anymore. That's my advice. LG needs more experience and years to learn how to manufacture good phones so as to compete with companies like Samsung, Iphone, Sony etc....

You're lucky I had to make THREE trips to my service center.

Love this phone but after only 15 months of light usage it started malfunctioning with what I now know to be 'bootloop'. LG repaired it under warranty and got it back to me within a week, which I thought was really good. Until I discovered that they had locked it during the repair process, and my SIM no longer works in it. They gave me the runaround when I tried to get this resolved and I've been bounced back and forth between LG and Vodafone: LG said I had to ask Vodafone to supply a new unlock code. Vodafone said LG had locked it so LG had to unlock it. Im still trying to get this resolved. I will not go to a third party to unlock, as that will invalidate the warranty, which I need to keep active given that these phones are known to be defective. So, even though the phone is lovely I would not recommend it due to the manufacturing fault and poor customer service from LG.

Bang4buck - bootloop

I've had this phone since late 2015 and it's worked amazingly up until being a victim of the bootloop issue last week. Me and 3 other friends have the phone and rave about its camera and otherwise good "bang 4 buck" value. The phone, for what it can do as a standard android smartphone is the best deal out there to this day imo. BUT, my phone is now with LG to fix the bootloop issue and I can only hope that 1) they fix it permanently on my phone, and 2) none of my friends have to go through the hassle I am going through (sending my phone via mail for repairs and losing all my personal data in the process). Of course if I continue to be a bootloop victim, well my rating on the phone goes to shit obviously... For what it's worth, LG is fixing my phone for free despite my 1-year warranty expiring over 3 months ago. I honestly think, bootloop issues aside, this is still a great phone and much more affordable than other phones which do essentially the same thing. While I'm without my G4, I'm on a "borrowed" Samsung S7 Edge (actually had to buy the phone but can return it in 15 days full refund). This phone was 900$!! wtf... it's NOT worth that much. I paid 400$ for my G4.

I have an issue with my G4.when i power it on its working by welcoming me then its doing nothing.what might be the problem.its just showing the word welcome

i agree this phone is crap. i got one and had it for a year then boot loop called and went through insurance was sent another one had it for a year as well and today it done same thing. cant get phone to work at all

I just got back my G4 from LG. I sent it back because of that bootloop issue. As long as they confirm that it is the issue they replace your phone. That is my story though, i'll give it some time to see what happens.

Not sure what you talking about. My G4 had the same issue with the bootlooping and the replaced it with a new one.

don't buy this phone....i purchased a LG G4 in February, 2016. It lasted only 1 year and a month, fell victim to the infamous Boot loop issue. There is no solution and this problem is not curable by any means. The phone can be temporarily turned on by heating up the motherboard to recover your data...and that's all you can do!!!!! If you have warranty, LG may repair or replace your set, but it won't last long either. Before boot loop, my G4 was a awesome device, now it's just a garbage. I completely lost my faith :(

Anonymous

DO NOT BUY LG PRODUCTS!!! They knew about this bootloop issue, but kept making and selling the phones with the flaw - then they will not stand behind them. Excuse me, they did actually extend the warranty on these phones BY 3 MONTHS WTF? 3 months! Well it shows what kind of company they are. The class action suit will cost them millions in legal fees - money they could have used to repair their defective phones, and would have kept most of their customers happy. Now everyone in that class action suit will get a $5 off coupon (or some other meaningless offer) and will be gone from LG forever. A person would be completely ignorant to ever purchase another LG product - EVER! All of their products have electronics, even appliances. If they can't build their phones right and won't stand behind them - what makes you think any of their other products will be any different? No one I know will ever buy an LG product! Signed - a non customer of LG for the rest of my life

LG G4 if you want customization and play around get the 5s if you have smaller hands or want a more ready and smooth experience the G4 is a bit cheaper and to avoid the infamous bootloop issue buy a refurbished one

Konvict

It is. I didnt know it was(since the name would suggest a not-so-hard-to-fix software problem, which it is not) and was dumb enough to not have an SD card, or cloud backup. It got in a boot loop and now is in warranty repair. All my files are gone. Having suffered from this, and knowing about Note 7s explosions and other stuff, specs-price ratio and design become second when I look for a new phone, the least ammount of known defects becomes first.

Mohamed Alkawa

I was very excited to get this phone but it didn't end up as i expected to say the least. Since 2010 till i got this phone in November 2016, i used only 2 phones, i search well before my buying any device, the HTC Desire HD was my first, over 2 years with it i switched to Nexus 5 in December 2013, the nexus was the best device i ever used to say the least, i broke the screen in an accident hiking, and since we don't have spare parts in egypt, i decided to get a new phone, it was time already, i was focused on Lg as my experience in the Nexus was beyond amazing, the LG G5 was just launched when i bought my phone, but i got a decent price for the G4 and i got it. The phone looks pretty cool, not very slippery like other phones which is a smart design feature, the screen is bright, clear, it's one of the very few phones now that has pointed curvy edges making it unique and pretty. The UI has pretty smart features as well, not worth mentioning as everyone already knows them. Yet it's laggy, i've been habing serious issues with the UI and i need to restart my phone at least 3 times a week, and probably 2 times of those i have to remove the battery to force close (thankfully) in my experience with the Nexus 5, it only happened once in 3 years! with the G4 it happens almost once a week, my phone is up to date so there is no excuse for that... The battery's life is equivlant to my Nexus 5 after more than a year of heavy usage, and this phone just consumes battery, i recharge the phone at least twice a day and sometimes few more quick charges to keep me going, with average to minimum usage. The phone heats up faster than average and it does not qualify to it's stated processor speed. Please note that i got the phone in November and it's March now, so basically the heating was in the winter, i have no idea what will happen in the summer. I am very disappointed with this phone, but i also have to say that i have tried and used other LG models and they were all quite amazing! LG will still remain on top of my list when i look for a new phone, but this model is really a product that doesnt meet expectations.

These are all temporary fixes. I put my bootlooped G4 in the freezer (-18 degrees celsius) for 1.5 hours and got 7 minutes of use out of my G4 before it shut down again but it was enough time to get the data off it.

Yossa

Unfortunately that's what happened to my G4 it began to restart its self then it would freeze and the only way to restart it was to take out the battery. Had a new motherboard fitted under warranty and so far no more problems only time will tell. Hope you have better luck as I agree with you the G4 is a great device.

Wizardlysense

What about fridges? they are good also you could fix it by reattaching the Chipset to the Motherboard by heating it with Hairdryer and giving the chipset pressure and then reassemble the phone and it might start working

bongo

Yup, mine also died with the bootloop fault (after 16 months). This has happened to too many people for LG not to have known about the issue early on. They should have recalled the phone. Seems like bad faith to me - LG just hoped that the inevitable failure would happen after the warranty for as many people as possible. This is bad policy - they make a lot of products, not just phones. I feel ripped off and certainly won't trust LG again or buy anything else of theirs. Ever.

Disappointing. Clunky wifi setup means constantly having to on/off and reconnect to familiar hot spots... Button placement is definitely an acquired taste. I haven't acquired it... and will go back to a normal side button setup on next phone. Overly aggressive rotation mode is Irritating. Shortcut menus don't work properly (same app as used before on XiaoMi2). Plastic body is very poor quality. After just a few months of careful usage it's already showing signs of wear.

6/3/2017 tested this phone for 2 days thank god it was my friend's shop . at the start it was all great it handle everything under the normal use its camera is soooo awesome the software is very good ,, PS i had a note 3 so am comparing it to it i said that's my next phone . i ignored the fact that the phone didn't except my last SD card whichs perfectly fine which contain all of may daily apps and i also ignored the fast 3000m battery drain because the phone comes with 2 batteries and An external battery charger ... i was about to buy it and then i said why don't i gave it a lil heavy use i downloaded most of the apps i couldnt get of my last SD , and start to use .. FB,messenger,Viber,Instagram,youtube,some photo editing, the phone was soooo good it heated a lil bit it had a 87% 1 hour later it was 35% =_= like i said i didnt care( 2 batteries ) UNTIL ,,, i received a call via SIM :'( the phone went crazy and it start to touch itself and the screen start flickering i could even get the call it all stopped when the call ended !!! i was shocked !! i tried calling ,, it happened again .. i let it cool off and went for a basketball match ,, 2 hours latter tried calling nothing happened it worked fine -_- turned wifi on ..consumed that 30% to 20% tried to call again it happened again !! i ended up taking the phone back to my friend's shop .. tried to show my friend but the flickering won't start i think maybe because i used the SIM network this time nt wifi ... thats my story with LG g4 phone 2 days journey :P actually 1 day took the phone 6pm brought it back next day 9pm . best wishes ^_^

TheHelpfulComment

I haven't bought the phone yet, but I found this info. @http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-admits-g4-bo­otloop-problem-hardware-fault-669603/ "After several months of LG G4 owners complaining of a bootloop issue to no avail, we picked up the story and confronted LG. The official response has come through and it should make G4 owners happy: LG has acknowledged the LG G4 bootloop issue is a hardware defect and will repair affected devices." I looked at reviews and found that many of you are having problems with the boot loop issue, honestly, I still do not fully understand the term, "boot loop", but LG acknowledges this as a hardware problem. If this isn't the only problem someone tell me other problems that are as if not more common than the boot loop issue.

avoid both of them. Get a huawei, samsung or sony

on paper one of the best phones ever. It has irda AND fm-radio AND microsd AND removable battery AND 3.5mm jack AND quad-hd display... In practice sadly it's a low quality electronics trash full of problems. Hardware (bootloop) and software bugs galore. Avoid it, avoid LG

Also the G3 suffers from the same manufacturing defect ?

The phone look amazing after purchase but few days you will have a boot loop issue mine is g3 bought it after two days it was a mess endless boot loop....Lg new the fault but they kept silence you take it to a local lg shop they say they can't fix it

Take your loss and pay someone to fix it or buy a new phone. Sucks but those are your options.

Purchased LG4-H810 ATT branded phone in September, 2015. Unlocked and running on T-mobile network. I"ve only used the phone for about 9 months and really liked it up till about 2 months ago. screen would intermittently freeze and force me to reboot it. Miracast a movie to my TV and the device went into bootloop scenario. Serial started with 606 meaning it was manufactured in may 2015. Called LG and they told me they were sorry but it was out of warranty and I would have to pay for their defects. To add insult to injury, phone was evidently accessing the microsd card (128GB) I installed and now it's toast too. Can't reformat for another phone. 300 dollars in accessories and the cost of the phone down the drain. Last LG product I'll ever own and that includes appliances and TV's!

Bought a used LG G4, from the US, for use in Canada. All worked fine for 3 months until hit by boot loop issue. Now LG Canada says they can't fix my phone, because it was made for US market, and US says they can't ship to Canada. I am hearing LG say to the press it will fix, but when the rubber hits the road, they don't appear to be following up. Class action? Not impressed.

I owned my lgg4 phone fro maybe 1 year and two months now my camera is not working it's the only problem I faced which causes my phone to restart by itself and a lot of apps stop working because of the camera issue I saw a lot of solutions from the internet but nothing kept my camera working for long time and now it's becoming even harder to open it and use it.

Unfortunately for those affected, the G4 bootloop issue, more than due to a purchase date, looks like a lottery.

Camiled

I've been owning an LG G4 now for 15months but the experience has ended here. Mine went into boot loop abruptly. I wasn't using my mobile much for gaming although at times I did. I was really happy with it as it was performing extremely well but now I cannot use it anymore. Contacted the seller and LG HK but they both told me warranty has expired (1year). I have to pay for shipping, analysis, parts,and labour. Is this worth it? Will I end up with this same senario in 15 months time? Excellent mobile but not worth the hassle. It will happen! Sadly enough. What is your opinion? (Malta EU)

Best Android phone I have ever owned. Switching from a nexus 5x. Big improvement in call quality, screen, battery life and camera Having the volume and power switch on the back is great and intuitive. I have owned several of the flagship phones and this $130 phone is the best for me. No signs of overheating or boot-loop.

paco2x

Cross your fingers and try to not overheat your phone, that's the main cause of the bootloop, the lead free solder contacts will melt for the heat and that will loosen some contacts between components.

Of course G4... Asus is a brick. Heavy, dumb brick.

Hello guys I was a samsung fan in past Recently bought G4 dual sim Here in gsmarena i read allot negative opinions about g4 I m sharing my experience I bought it in early February 2017 Played with it by downgrading it to 5.1 Upgraded many times to 6.0 Used it in extream levels. Played heavy games 100% btry to 0% Installed apps rooted it unlocked bootloader Flashed twrp Again flashed stock firmware Never hanged bootlooped stuck or freez heated a bit but with no worries during testing Charged it with fast charger Good battery timing 67000 plus antutu score Running 4g on either of sims Downloaded huge files. Till now i m satisfied

g6 user

lg is not giving love to the G4. and that's because bootloop but that's is not customers fault this is fault of your QA department atleast you should upgrade the device so people who still has a working phone can upgrade atleast for 1-6 months before bootloop

My wife G4 is now 1.5 years old, still working like a charm. My G4 is 7 months old and also working without problems. Really good phone if you ask me. Maybe soon we gonna change to G6's ?

No Nougat for G4. WTF I'll sell my G4 in ebay and never buy LG again!!!!!!

i bought LG G4 in December, 2016. but alas vary bad experience. bootloop issue, xtremely heat up issue, and now suddenly hanged with software disappeared. the mechanic demands gurantee that phone can be dead if software re-installed. My humble suggestion to LG Company is that plz concentrate on washing machines and fridges only, if u cant produce some good smart phones.

Ric

Same here....I am also facing the same problem with LG G4.I purchased it in feb 2016 and till now...its motherboard has changed,its display has changed...everything is changed and now I am facing the heating issue as well as battery problem .....I have to charge this phone atleast 4 times a day so as to use it properly.I also have a very bad experience with this phone and I will never ever recommend anyone to purchase phone from this brand.

bad news guys .. lg just killed the G4 ... they left the device only running android 6.0 . no intention updating it to nougat .. Italian web pages have news about it ... they are rolling out really slow the update for g5 so they can skip the G4... so bad that they even preferred to update a stylus 2 rather than a flagship but ... for me it is simply that they don't want room for comparations it is not a fast phone but has an excellent camera and featurs that they dropped during generations battery G6 and screen size G5 5.3 vs 5.5 on g4 anyway .... ux 4.0 looks ok for me but I eman the nougat is future proof and has a boost in performance regarding the vulkan api . they are s...kers

Anonymous

Bought mine July 2015. Stuck on boot-up on 3 occasions. Service centre changed the motherboard each time with total data loss. Last replacement was in Feb 2017. Tech support don't even know the cause of failure. Simply replacing motherboard without finding cause of failure will not fix the real fault. The device also frequently overheats while in use. My next phones shall never ever be another LG.

Anonymous

Sorry but 245 CAD seems really low for a G4, it's not brand new, is it? I'm guessing used or refurbished. Or it's already bootlooped, been repaired under warrenty and now the owner is selling it. It's 2017 the only phones from 2015 I'd buy today would be the Samsung Note 5 or Edge+. Everything else would be a no go.

Mario

I have had bad experiences with the LG G4 since I purchased it last November 2015: it heats up quite frequently, and it was too warm that it is uncomfortable to use. Had it checked within two months with the service center and they replaced the motherboard, but still same issue. By March 2016, they couldn't figure out why it was heating up and had to replace the unit: still heats up occasionally but I bought a casing instead so that I wouldn't have to deal with the heat on my hands (I am not sure if that was really a good decision though). Last Friday, 24 February 2017, my phone just conked out. It cannot be charged as well, and no indication of life whatsoever. I went to the service center and they said they have to replace the motherboard (same issue again!) and what really frustrates me is that all files cannot be retrieved anymore. I know that is also a fault on my part: I haven't backed up my holiday photos yet in the cloud nor in an external drive. My cousin in NZ has these same issues with the same unit (she also bought last 2015). I can say we are both traumatized with the issues of LG G4 and are not keen on buying from the same brand again.

Aleksandar

Yes, but the best way to check when your phone is produce is via this link: .Just enter IMEI from your phone. All the phones from 2016 should be ok. My girlfriend has bought one from October 2016 and she is very very satisfied with LG G4.

KingLion

Hello, the bootloop issue is eliminated on phones manufactured after November 2015. To check the manufacturing date, just look at the first 3 digits of the serial number (year/month in YMM format. For example 603; 6 = 2016; 03 = March).

**i'm strongly recommending you not to buy this phone** this phone has a huge manufacturing error the meterial which used to sold the snapdragon cortex A57 chip has a big deffect and depending on your use the mobile will stop working within from 6 months to 1.5 years.The best thing is even the LG doesn't have a permanent solution.their only solution is replacing the motherboard which makes you happy for another 6 months until this problem appears again.even this is a manufacturing error they will ask you to pay 3/4 of the current price if your phone breaks after the warranty period. if you are dying to buy this phone without considering the user opinions i have to say is this phone has one of the best cameras and very attractive and beauty full which you can enjoy maximum upto 1.2 years....good luck :)

If your phone is under warranty then fhey have to replace the motherboard free of cost. Mine boot looped after 10 months and they replaced motherboard free of cost. Try to contact authorized service center. And by the way im from india.

Yeah I recently purchased it for $108 AUD brand new condition. Apparently had the google lock on it & the user couldn't figure out the username & password so I purchased it & downloaded a bypass to penetrate the lock. Was a cinch! Works extremely well except my version cannot be bootloader unlocked since the H815T isn't supported so can't root.. Anyway is my G4 susceptible to the notorious bootloop? Purchased the 512 model hence it's manufactured in December 2015.

There is no official android 7 update known for the G4. Mods and custom recovery with 3rd party roms are your best bet. Just checkout xdadeveloper.

AnonD-643438

I've noticed a little weird thing with the G4 if the phone goes completely dead and shuts off and i can't get it to turn back on even when it's plugged in, i have to take the battery out then put it back in and it's fine. Other then that the phone has been awesome.

This phone was always on in a tmobile store for a year before i purchased it off of ebay. I bought this phone 6 months ago. and I'm very pleased. This was a used floor model but in perfect condition. I only paid $178.00 USD. and don't e discouraged by other negative posts. I've had no issues what so ever. and as far as gaming goes, the adreno 418 is plenty powerful. I got a score of 73,628 on ANTUTU 6. Getting a GPU score of 20,000 also scored 20,000 on the CPU as well. Heavily tested this phone. Not only with numerous games but third party apps. If your worried don't be. The later models that have bin deprived of the hardware issues are the ones to buy. Just be aware of the date your phone was manufactured before purchasing

If you somehow just recently bought this phone I'd be worried. If you've been using the phone since mid 2015 I think it will be ok because otherwise it'd probably have bootlooped already if it was going to.

I had it only for 11months, and the photos and other stuffs were gone, cannot be retrieved anymore. Well I guess that would be my last lg. I am still hoping that it would be fixed when It gets back to Korea. Anywho Thinking about buying xiaomi, its kinda popular now.

I m not happy to hear that. My lg g4 turned one year recently. Still not an issue, i have same 812 model in Canada with fido. I had both samsung mini and s4 both were returned in warranty and had pda board replaced. That's why i stopped buying samsung, but my tablet tab a 9.7 with Spen rocks.

LG G04

I have had my lg g4 model H812 for 13 month now and ye the boot loop got me. but because it happened with in the 1year warranty it was a free fix. BUT from then on the wireless charging does not work and the phone still heats up over +50c and the battery life still sucks. but because I'm in Canada I don't mind the hot phone it keeps my hands warm. other than the no wireless charging now gone and the heat and the low life battery the phone is great.

Just wanted to tell you about my experience with the LG G4 (Europe Version). It's a great phone while it lasts. From day one up to a year and a half from purchasing it i really enjoyed the phone. Camera is very good and the screen is amazing. Battery is not that good but i managed to go by half a day on one charge (I'm not a a power user. I use it for mails, phone calls, Whatsapp, Facebook and SMS). After 16 months the phone just died.Bootloop issue. If you can afford yourself to change phones every year then go for it. I'll never get another LG. I'll buy Samsung\Apple\Sony. I still have older phones and they still work.

The only way to avoid the bootloop is to not buy the phone.

I'm lucky because in Portugal the warranty is two years, i sent my G4 to the shop and they replaced everything for free except the screen. Since the Phone has a new imei they extended the warranty for another two years. Basically i have a new G4.

There is no fix, bootloop is caused by a hardware manufacture defect. DIY fixes (applying heat or cold) are temporary, use them to backup data. LG´s fix (motherboard change) is a scam. The will charge you a ridiculous amount of money (250 to 350 USD) for a "new" motherboard that eventually will be bootlooping within a year. LG sucks

It´s a pity that LG quality control is so bad because its design job is really good. My G4 went into bootloop 3 weeks after the end of the warranty. LG´s response? change the motherboard for 350 USD. A new motherboard that will have the same issue the next year. LG´s PR sucks. Please forgive poor G4, it couldn´t pick your creator...

you're right. Great phone overall (many feats others don't have replaceable battery, fm radio, sd slot, ir port...) but very low quality electronics. 350 euros wasted for me

Anonymous

you must bring it to the nearest assistance center. There's no other way since it's a hardware fault. They will change the motherboard and G4 will be ok... until the next bootloop (no joking)

please explain how to fix the boot loop with the lg g4

RNT

Worst buy ever. Phone was great. Then boot loop happened. $375 gone to waste. Over heats like crazy. LG should refund users their money. Selling this product is a scam.

SAM

This is great phone for the ones who know how to modifiy a rom. The big problem with this phone is bootloop ( as allready know) but with 3 h time you can resolve it. Stock soft + a little program will resolve bootloop but you will only work in 1 cpu. Root it very easy ( 3 minutes maximum if you know what to do) and then with a little program called CPU tuner you will have all cores working on full power. This is a great phone, great camera , great specs. I bought it even I knew about this problem. Have fun with yours !

anything but g4. Too many issues, low quality electronics and poor manufacturing controls I suppose

...so far

BOOT LOOP

bootloop problem, I did not recommend anyone to buy this LG model .. already suffer from this problem ... my LG G2 (rooted, bootloader unlock, xposed) still life strongly while the G4 already death. Using G5 right now but still doubtful that this problem will haunting this new G series.

Madis

I would not recommend this phone, unless you plan to switch phones in a year anyway. I had this phone for 11 months and it is stuck on bootloop and LG refuses to fix it under warranty, because it has physical damage (some scratches on the side). In addition to this, 3 of my friends have the same exact issue after an year of owning the phone. It would need a new motherboard, which one of my friends decided to swap and surprise-surprise after 6 months it was stuck on bootloop again.

I want to buy Lg G4 for its cemra quality and battery life...Should i buy it or not bcz some people are taulking about bootloop problem

Denisa B.

I know what you say! I have the same problem ... not my phone is dead because the bootloop infected him

dman01

Don't bother with this phone. Mine is stuck in bootloop and repairs cost is more than a new handset.

AnonD-632660

A Bootloop is where a device doesnt get into the operating system, but instead, just tries to boot over and over again, but failing.

Dom

No, it's not the same. Don't make stuff up, it reeks of desperation.

Sam

I think this bootloop issue in LG phones are around since the early days. Because G4 is not the only phone I heard this issue of, LG optimus G was also infected of this bootloop problem.

AnonD-481508

lol its the same g4 to v20 its lg not matched with cheap accessories

vinurarulz

do u replace the battery and checked ?

Dom

This 'USB' nonsense is for the V20 bootloop issue, not the G4 bootloop. Or so LG claims.

I had an LG G4 H815 in the US. It went into bootloop the 365th day of use. Bought from B&H and they could not get LG US, LG international, or any repair center to fix or replace it. I really liked the phone and the features, but LG has really dropped the ball with this one in a major way. I'm now looking for a new phone.... By the way, if you have a G4 make sure you back up everything. I lost a lot of files (all cardboard panoramas were not beeing backed up as well as texts, settings, preference etc.)

I hate to sound dumb but what is boot loop? I've had my LGG4 since march 2016 and haven't had a problem until today. I unplugged it from the charger and went to use it when all of a sudden it shut off and now it will not turn back on. Battery was fully charged. Phone wasn't hot. What the crap??

Danko

I have a G4 bought july 2015...Best phone i have ever used... Better than daughters samsung and sons htc .they all have had problems My G4 has been perfect from day one....cheers

adnan

it doesn't make sense for u but when one had bad experience what can our do. i m sharing my experience that was worst for me.

AnonD-481508

Use specific and original usb type not the cheap one then you safe from the crap bootloop

AnonD-481508

Totaly troll you bought g3 and g4 the same time?? Lol then if think Lg phone was not good why you wanna still to buy it??? Its not make senses either

adnan

i beg you dont ever go for any lg mobile i have used g2,g3 and g4 all are very poor. only g2 was little better. i bought g3 and g4 about 3 months ago. g3 shutdowns and g4 bootloop problem. i hv drowned my money. now permanent bye to lg.

Ahmed

Hello All, please don't buy this cell phone. If you already did, please sell it out asap. I bought this mobile and everyone told me things like "the bootloop doesn't comes in this model OR the bootloop only comes in specific models". Trust me, the boot loop comes in all the models and the LG Company admitted this mistake on their end recently. So please don't waste your money. I have a dead set placed in my drawer right now and many of my friends have these dead phones of LG G4. If you still want to go for LG, I would recommend to go for LG G5 or LG G3.

AnonD-631113

Don't do it to yourself? The bootloop comes quick

AnonD-631113

Stay away from the g4

Federerson
