Planning to purchase G5, its 200$ brandnew. I just want to ask if anyone is having experience regarding chin gap? Is the issue acknowledged by LG?

Bought the LG friend Cam grip attachment. It does provide a better grip and I like the 2 stage shutter button. Battery gives about 20 to 25 percent more to use. Zoom wheel is pointless as zoomed in pix are basically cropped normal images.
I used my friends before but did not have a full 2 weeks of testing like now. I did not realize the worst thing about it: it will recharge your phone if you press ANY button on it not just the dedicated on switch. I brought it attached to G5 for picnic to take pix. By the time I got there it was dead. It had turned on in my pocket and depleted backup battery power. I could have just used my regular g5 chin and brought cam grip separately but that defeats the purpose of having it: I don't want to have to bring another thing with me. Better off using my lifeproof case and bring extra battery in sealed bag. Also it does not serve as a battery charger when plugged in alone.
I got it for 20CAD used. I would be pissed off if bought for 80 CAD retail price. Should have just bought another battery

Anyone experiencing Bluetooth issue while connecting to a Bluetooth speaker? I have jbl xtreme and jbl Everest headset. speaker will not function. But when you tried to connect to another paired Bluetooth in your BT option (by tapping on another paired BT device) it'll work. If you get what I mean.

Until 8hrs af... moreI also have the same problem dude. my g5 also has screen retention. they said there's a solution for the issue. That is to install a blue light filter app. I never tried that app to fix the problem. I want to have the accurate color of my photo. I don't mind about the screen ghosting. I also tried to search for any solution on the internet and there's none. So unfortunate that this problem cant be fixed. we'll have to live with that or replace your phone with a new one. I'll stick with my g5. I still have to earn money to buy a new device. I'm planning to buy the lg v30 when it gets cheaper.

Honestly after reading reviews I thought this phone was going too be a good buy. Until 8hrs after purchase I started noticing the ghosting. Still no answer for the solution too this. I have been using G from Optimus G, G2, G3 I skipped G4 because of bootloop and got this G5 My best advice for anyone trying too buy LG phone is Please stay away from it all the LG phones I've used are waste of my hard earn money I should have keep saving for other brand. Don't buy LG phone please I advice. If you think I'm saying this too lie I still have my G2 broken Screen G3 Bootloop and not this G5 ghosting I can share there pictures.This G5 is the last LG product I will ever buy.

Upgraded from the s5 active never been happier the lock button on the back is slightly annoying as you have to pick the phone up every time to unlock it with your fingerprint. I don't mind the plastic back as I think it will stand up better then metal and feels solid and sturdy as well . Battery life easily gets me through the day with about 30% remaining usually. My old s5 used to barely get me through half the day and it was so old that it would get burning hot doing basic tasks (snapchat and such) and become slower then a 15 year old laptop when hot. Cameras are great no question about that taken some amazing pictures love the setup this phone has. Headphones work good had some issues with other phones (mainly sony z2 and samsung s4) where they would be super quite but this phone has iphone like audio quality. Loudspeaker is surprising loud and bassy for such a small unit. Love that you can tap in the knock code without even turning the phone on and use the fingerprint scanner without the phone being on. Always on display is awesome shows everything it needs to without eating battery life. Fingerprint scanner is the fastest and most accurate ive ever used works every time unless your finger Is super dirty. Only thing I would've liked is wireless charging but that's pretty much the only thing. I was going to buy an s7 but it was about $400 more then this phone I think that samsung is so expensive just because it says Samsung on it because these phones have the same specs but one is $400 cheaper then the other and has better cameras and a swappable battery. G5 all the way never been happier with a phone

Grate phone for the price,
Love the removable battery and the SD card option.
Camera is amazing.
Great size even for my big hands
Clear screen.
Don't care about the design so much, all my phones goes in hefty cases from day one, so, whats the difference?

Android can be a little cumbersome to some, but the customization and flexibility it really makes the OS shine.

I dislike everything about this phone but what I dislike most, what infuriates me about it, is it's deeply offensive auto-correct for text messages. How DARE YOU correct my foul words! How dare you auto-correct a 42 year old profession's f-cking swear words. At the very least it should be programmed to LEARN over time and stop auto correcting my curses. Oh, yeah, I'm sure that there is some un-intuitive way to shut the stupid auto-correct off but I know that the fix will be incredibly difficult to find, like everything on this phone (e.g. the voice-mail recordings cannot be found in the phone function... wtf!?). The voice-mails are hidden on the second screen in a sub-folder... until you find it and move it to where it should be, next to the f-ing phone button. Long story short, if you are trying to find an adequate iphone replacement to save some money... don't. The Android operating systems are NOT even remotely intuitive or user friendly and if you are a current iphone user, the nonsensical interface of the Android OS will likely drive you cuckoo. The phone is also made of very cheap and fragile materials, especially the screen which scratches and cracks if you drop it on a carpeted floor (had my iphone 4S for many years, dropped on concrete while standing 6ft tall, with no scratches and NO cracks). Frankly, I find it offensive that Android and LG would subject consumers to this sorry excuse for a phone. It isn't worth $50, let alone the hundreds of dollars your cell company will charge you. Perhaps I am completely insane but I would much rather pay more money for quality than save a few hundred on a pile of electronic crap. Just for some background... the only reason I switched from iphone was because I was getting tired of Apple releasing iphone updates that made the OS LESS user friendly. Now I know that no matter how much Apple screws up the iphone's OS, it will never-ever be as awful as an Android or HTC.

Im using G5 Asian set , so far this phone serve me very well , after using it for about 8 month the battery stamina decreased about 35% , kinda okay because sometimes i do overcharged the phone , just got my new battery today , so far the stamina of the phone has been restored . The Processor is powerful and actually quite a battery saver because of the Battery capacity is just 2800mah but the phone can last about 12h++ of SOT ( new battery ) kinda impressive for me . The Photos taken from this phone is SUPERB , jaw dropping , using the wide shot mode , the manual mode , makes u feel like a pro . Overall the phone is great , just nice but the design a bit kinda ....haha i dont know what to say about the design im speachless haha . Hopefully this device will get Android O updates .
