This phone was at the top of my list as LG has fantastic features and an awesome overall package. The #1 reason I am not going to buy the phone is the reliability problems of my previous 3 LG devices. My first LG purchase was an LG G2, which was awesome. Then I upgraded to the LG G3 and bought two of these. August 2015, after only 8 months, the display went out from a manufacturing defect. I received the replacement free from Verizon as it was under warranty. Now in July of 2016 the replacement has the same problem. Back in November of 2016 one of my children who was using the G2 noticed the display defect on that device. So, I've had pretty much the identical issue on 3 high-end LG devices which pretty much means I cannot support this company any longer as reliability is essential for these high-end devices- please give us at least 3 years.
I still think feature-wise the LG G5 is only really missing water/dust proof capability.

As to why that is, I would say it is mainly down to the flawed 'modularity' aspect. It's was poorly thought out and very badly implemented.
It's a shame as from all other aspects the G5 is a great device that's competes nicely with the completion in a lot of areas.

Its now safe to reckon that this phone has failed, LG has fired its lead designer, as it has failed the expectations, failed the sale numbers, failed to gain the customers respect, failed to make an impact. The only field that didnt fail, was the early reviews that created those expectations and gave that false sentiment of superiority, i wonder what was it, the push from earlier LG flagships, or some bribing?

There some reasons it hase some poor sales
Design-people would rather choose to show the antenna to have a premium feel instead of plasticy paint and the camera
Modularity-people dont want the idea of turning it off and back on and the Moto Z has so much better modularity and Mpto Z can support 3rd party modules
UX-people love the app drawer and the ux is cartoony
Battery-so poor and people just buy the S7,S7 edge,P9,HTC 10,Mi5 and many more flagships
Im a LG fan but now bye bye Lg im a HTC,Huawei,Xiaomi, and Samsung Fan

thaied, 20 Jul 2016weeks of emails and still no driver works for win 10 ? Is there one. I can't sync, tethere... moreSurely when you plug the G5 into your PC, the G5 shows up in documents/my computer. Then you can gain access to the the phones internal memory or sd card and just drag and drop files/music/video etc to and from the phone.

Further, when you connect G5 to PC, then in G5, pull down notification bar and you will see the message :
Charging only - Tap to change the USB Connection.
Tap on that message and then remaining options appear.

G5 H860. I get a lg.com support msg asking me for cam plus modle and Imei no's.
They come back and say ""take it to the Riyadh Saudi store where I"m at presently. They have no clue as thats why I"m online to get support !
Found the LG Smarltworld apk download site does not work. My phone widget connnected says; it only works with LG phones. YES.!!- I'm on a g5 phone and its not recognized. !! Everyone with a G5 should get on the smartworld web site. It will be the first and last time !
For travelers; would you not expect to get on any LG web site and fine your phone model. Not here !
