        Joe Jerkoff , 27 Dec 2017What are you talking about? They fixed this issue easily. Why LG Phone company do not recognize the problem of boot reset. Dont they see that this will fall down on the market

            I searched for a fix and anything I found did not work. Hard reset, pulling the battery, connecting it to the computer to get into the os that way... nothing worked.

                Interestingly, notebookcheck shows brightness goes up to 774 cd/m2 and black levels of 0.43. My verizon version was probably around the 380 posted on the review here, but they would've reviewed H850.

                    I was given this phone as a replacement to my 4th bootlooping G4, and I was alright with it for a while, until some issues started cropping up. Then I discovered I was not alone:
                    -Inconsistent battery life (2.5 hours SOT at best)
                    -Screen burn in
                    -Non-working GPS

                    Yeah, never buying another LG product.

                            My garbage, terrible battery life lg g5 was working decently up until the moment it bootlooped a year and half into it's life. No warning at all. Charged it, restarted it, bootloop... Thanks for a piece of $#!t, lg... Never again.

                            Went back to Samsung with the s8 because at least they have build quality and battery life. The s8 only has 200 mah more but lasts twice as long as the garbage g5. 3.5 hours screen on time with garbage g5, over 7 hours sot with the s8.

                            Also I have a cracked screen Sammy Note 2 that still works fine five years later.

No Bluetooth problem. Battery life is good then after one year had to replace battery. Lg mods are not worth buying.

                              Great phone but definitely get a proper case if worries about getting wet. All cameras are amazing but night time video is not so great.

                              Biggest two problems for me: lightbleed and image retention. When watching videos with black bars I could definitely see light leaking in from 2 corners. Image retention solved with night filter app but from minimal filter but over time I had to increase to the point where screen is too dim and too red. Is okay for me for normal use but when I watch video and increase brightness red tint is too noticeable.

                              Great phone if you do not have problems with screen. But I highly recommend having at least 2 batteries. I probably connected to charger less than 10 times in 14minths with phone. There is nothing more satisfying that having a fully charged battery in less than a minute when you have to run out the door.

                              Good luck!

But may be you found GPS failure it is not hard to fix it by your self if your check is not good ..

                                      I knew LG made poor quality devices but this really takes the cake. Everything from screen burn in issues, to annoying and useless functionalities, brittle screen (shattered the screen after dropping it on sand) and the sporadic freezes that are unfixable. I have gone through two G5s in less than a year and am ready to change phones again.

                                      DONT BUY THIS PHONE!!!

                                        I am suggesting all people that dont buy this phone from entrusted sites, you may cheated or may get tampered phone, so you go by trusted online sites like amazon, flipkart, snapdeal etc . Half of the comments are negative regarding this model because those people got the phone from entrusted sites. I have LG G5 working very perfectly since 8 months, no any problem because of only purchased from authorized dealer.
