Nav bar is really annoying and it consumes so much space on the screen.
It's OK on devices like Nexus 10, but it makes 5 inch screen to be 4.5 or even less.
Why google doesn't op-in the touch buttons on the lower body like Galaxy ?
Rhetorical question?
I don't think it really moves it from 5" to 4.5". Probably more like 4.8".
If you don't like it, definitely look out for customer roms. Even CM offers full screen mode. But there will be plenty of ROM's with PIE available within the next few weeks.
I hope Google gives us the option to hide it a bit more, such as in the camera, video and gallery apps...
It's a waste of space and is one of my major gripes with the phone (I still love it).
I do find that the extra bevel space at the bottom gives you a much better place to grip the phone.
Get another phone.

It's not. How easy is it to take same approach as galaxy ? I don't see any cons in doing that.
It's just terrible how much useful space it eats up now.
I got rid of my navbar. Using pie controls instead. The extra screen real estate is awesome, especially for gaming.

This is the third nexus phone that includes the navbar and you're acting like it's the first time you've ever heard of it. If you wanted a phone with capacitive buttons, you could've purchased one.

I like the navbar, I just don't like how big it is. Once Xposed is working for 4.4 I'll ditch the pie controls and just shrink the navbar down to my liking.

I like the navbar, and it's a key feature of Nexus devices. If you think it's stupid, don't get a Nexus device. Simple as that.
I swear, this is just like people who buy Samsung phones and then complain that they hate Touchwiz. If you hate an intrinsic property of a specific phone, maybe just don't buy that phone. Seems pretty obvious to me.

You do know that the nav bar goes away for full screen apps made with 4.4 in mind and in nearly all full screen videos until the screen is touched, right? What do you need that extra space for when you're not watching a video or playing a game?

Google was never fast at coming with good designs. It took them like 2-3 years to come up with a nice looking design for android. Same for web.
So I hope in a next iteration they will get rid of nav bar on phones whatsoever.
Count me in as a nav bar supporter. It's not like it takes up that much space. Plus, on custom roms, you can customize it, which is a lot of fun as well!

Hi, everyone! I have created a concept based on a joke with Apple copying some android features for the ios5 (wich i think was a step in the right direction). So, the "next google phone" looks a little like the iphone and the fiction-ad plays with the taskbar matter. By the way, the new taskbar i introduced is a concept too. It would replace the hardware buttons with a second monochrome display, adding more functionality and saving more battery power.
Well, enough talking.
Let me know what you think about it.

Maybe the pictures did not shows enough.
Well, it actually would act like the current normal hardware touch sensitive controls, displaying the same signals: back, search, options and home, just like the current ones.
But...
Once the screen is off and you are listening to music, it can act as the player controls, or even the unlock slider without need to power on the screen all time. It would notify you about new email, sms, missed calls when screen is off. But once the screen is unlocked, it get back to it's normal four button functions. Touching the notification unlocks the screen and takes you directly to the related app. Touching the back symbol on the right, marks the notification as "seen". Its more or less how it should works.

Not yet on Pro 2!
On Pro 2, it is very much dependence on the 3rd party apps! Some apps and games have been updated to hide the softkeys bar, aka OSB bar when in use.
Pro 2 owners just have to wait until the next UI update to be able to behaves likes on G3.
However, all stock apps are fine! They auto-hide the OSB bar!
As for Chrome, the OSB bar is always there but it is not an issue at all for browser!
Having said that, Pro 2 is still an awesome phone for its super big screen and stability of its OS and UI.
I would suggest that you get the Pro 2 instead of G3 at the moment, and wait for LG to update the UIs which can be happening very soon!
Is there any indications LG will update the UI? Usually the big companies dont port newest UI to older phones.... So how OSB behave in Chrome? I'm spending 80% of my time on the phone in Chrome and I really dont like the soft buttons to be there.

If you are really particular about the OSB bar in Chrome and can't wait for UI updates from LG , then you shall pass Pro 2.

Yep but 5.9" phones is turning in 5.5" inches phone if OSB is most of the times on. I remember when i moved from Galaxy S2 to Gaalxy nexus basically my new 4.65" screen was smaller then my old 4.3" screen jsut because of the OSB... Anyway are there any info on UI update, I dont remember a single LG which got master UI update after its initial release? Or maybe some xplode mode which can force immerse mode on some apps?

Fortunately there are many 3rd party options from the Play Store such as:
DynamicNotifications
AcDisplay
Active Display
Keep in mind only OLED panels can disable individual pixels. Other LCDs require the full screen to be on or off at all times so these could cause considerable battery drain.

Looks like PA (moreso, ROMs based off it, or ones that cherry-picked built-in Peek) need to update the code that disables built-in Peek when the app is installed, to reflect the new package name (rather than the unlocker). lol
So the real question would be what are the chances of active display being included in L? which there havent been any signs of it in the preview build so again not looking good.

None. ActiveDisplay is a proprietary Motorola software. Google very rarely have added alternatives to complex proprietary functions. It's not completely unheard of (quick tiles for example) but for something that has a hardware limitation and dependency, no way

Even if they did (which they won't because that's owned by Motorola) it would be restricted to OLED screens only. Only OLED screen phones have ever had such functionality built in, such as the Moto X and certain Nokia Windows Phones with Glance support.
What's wrong with using one of the many 3rd party options?
I used DynamicNotifications on my Nexus 5 over 6 months ago. It was buggy and quirky.
My phone would get hot in my pocket and I pulled it out to see whats going on. DynamicNotifications was turning my screen on and off repeatedly for some reason. I don't know how Motorola handles the phone lock but DynamicNotifications' way of locking the phone isn't secure. If I disable the system's security lock and enable DN's, it could be bypassed by turning off the phone and turning back it. It isn't as bullet proof as the system's.

I will be getting a note edge and currently my wife has a LG g3 and I love the knock knock feature to turn it on. Does anybody know if the note edge has a similar feature to knock or swipe the side edge screen to turn it on? If not I plan on developing an app to accomplish that, if the sdk allows.

I would say this regarding battery drain... I have not rooted my wife's G3 and she uses the knock knock feature roughly 100 times per day lets say on average. Her battery has never been less than 45% with super heavy usage. Usually around 73% by the time she gets home at 5:15.
She plays games, Keeps the brightness on 90% (no auto), checks emails/texts/IM a bunch, pinterest, facebook, keeps the gps on, bluetooth off. So I would say it doesn't drain the battery enough to complain about if barely at all. Now, maybe LG built this feature into the firmware or something i don't know about, where it doesn't need the screen and maybe it uses one of the ICs that detect vibration or something.
On the 6.0 update?
For me...
1. Faster fingerprint reader/unlock animation
2. New keyboard layout
3. Finally having an option to switch to pin code for alternative option if fingerprint isnt working
4. Adjustments on touchwiz
5. Google now on tap
6. New emojis
7.Faster phone ?? (hopefully)
Is speed an issue? My Note5 is smooth and quick. *shrug* Now on Tap is actually pretty cool. I don't use a protective lock screen so I don't know about that. I'd like to be able to activate Samsung Pay with a swipe up from the S-View window, but that won't happen.

I could root my device, but i choose not to. Reason being is it will possibly lose value once Knox has been tripped.

I do use Find my Mobile but I also use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rickclephas.fingersecurity to lock certain apps. It only locks those apps when I am not connected to my WiFi or my cars Bluetooth. Maybe with the new fingerprint API I'll lock the whole phone up.
I also noticed when watching marshmallow beta for s6/s6 edge is that the capacitive buttons dont light up when touching the screen... which is a smart move from samsung. It saves battery and it makes sense. It only lights up when pressing them or when pressing the home button.

They didn't light up because it was a Beta and the rooted kernel broke it even more on some devices, but made them work better on other devices. There's also mods you can use to just turn them off if you don't like them. Xposed. Or just go into the settings!!!
Also, just because you don't like them being on, doesn't mean that they are pointless. Tests have also been done to see just how much battery life is affected by Capacitive buttons and you can't even tell how much they use.
By the way, a lot of people like myself, work in dark places and have to use our phones. Think about that for a minute.:good:
