Anonymous, 23 Mar 2022its trash for alot of people. but i keep using it as long as possible.Yup, it really is trash for a lot of people. But mine is still going strong after 5 years. I only use mine for torrents. Don't want to slow down my newer phones. G5 is already pretty laggy sometimes. Battery life is trash.

    Anonymous, 23 Mar 2022you need to root the phone and use app called battery charge limit and you can set it to stop ... moreSame problem with GPS here. The signal quality started to degrade after 2 or 3 years. I had it fixed twice and it never worked reliably ever again. The battery is also sub-par, have to recharge it at least twice a day, but overall it was a nice phone and still is. might keep using it for a couple of months more...

              Hi. My phone just doesn't light up. The screen is active but no light on it. And it heats up a bit. Any suggestions how to solve it? Or someone has one to sell. I just can't find one here in Slovenia 🇸🇮. LG for me has the best UI in android, but non android smartphone UI is Blackberry Classic and Passport Silver edition.

                        This phone single handedly made me switch to a Samsung S7(a phone I still use and love to this day). I loved my G3 and G4 but loathe the G5 for the year I had it.

                              lg g5. is there an internal setting to change charging limits to 80% vs overcharging; forever all the time; to bubble my battery ?? I hear other phones have sys//battery folders to change a parameter.
                              locally ; anywhere in Asia they say I Cant' get any parts of service so have to keep a battery supply and lower module extras.
                              Sad.....

                                    It's 2021, so forget about this device. Go for LG G7 instead.

                                    the biggest achilles heel of this device nowadays is the SD 820, which is just Quad core, but those 4 cores are power hungry. Batteries are scarce, too.

                                      This phone has heating issues and battery problems. Even if you bought the so called "Unused" "Refurbished 98%" ... 3 years ago is a NO! don't be fooled. So if I were you, stay away from 2016 phones. Just buy second hand LG G7 thinQ for a 130 bucks cheaper. I've tried the T-Mobile version and totally regret.
