LG Optimus G? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So If you're a phone junkie like me you've owned nearly every flagship.
It took me a minute to realize it but this phone looks exactly like an LG Optimus G. Glass back and all.
Is it just me?

yes, it's just you

Then you have never seen or held an Optimus G

They're both black slab phones, what more do you want? There are a ton of phones that look similar.

Looks very similar, nothing wrong with that though.

I didn't say anything was wrong just making conversation. The glass back is what really reminded me of the OG

Please post questions in the Q&A section

[Q] front camera mirror accessory

I've been looking around for a wile now and can seem to only find two devises.
Onemoreface which isn't even being manufactured yet. And, one for the iphone.
Has anyone tested the iphone one on their G2? Also, does anyone know of any other accessories that would work?
Thanks in advance,
Groboto
I was thinking about this the other day and thought about building something, which would probably end up looking really ghetto.
Do you have a link to the iphone one? I would love something like this for my phone.

It only goes to show how insensitive HTC became when they were designing the G2 & DZ to leave out the front camera.
Had I fully explored the DZ, I probably would have given it a miss for not having a front-facing camera like the one on the TP2; I took it as a given.
I'll get that iSnapMe when i get my Z and test it out for you Although Onemoreface does look nicer Infact i wrote an article about that this morning lol

BleeDinG LCD post need to calm the phuck down

its a LCD SCREEN! chill out... yes some peoples are worse than others... let me ask all of you who are *****ing about it a question...
HAVE YOU EVER OWNED A "BRAND NEW" LCD TV?
i have a 3 month old 52in toshiba and guess what..... back light bleeding....
i am sorry you didnt read into the phone and understand its technology and bought it under the pretense it would be the PERFECT phone.... but get real!
want a fix to it?
TURN YOUR BRIGHTNESS OFF "AUTO" and put it about 1/4 of the way
still mad?
get a refund....... LG will not send you a new one thats any batter than your current.....
(called tmobile and they have a few complaints but will not issue a new phone till it becomes a larger problem....)
honestly the phone is what i want out of it....(and many people are satisfied)
i give it 4.5/5
just because of the bleeding... if you didnt read into the phone or read people *****ing about it on 2x forum then sorry again for your loss send me the ****ing thing and ill ebay it...
i know this is a section about "general ****" but come on if you are so pissed you have a few option and let me point them out so you stop the spam threads (i know im not helping by making this only feeding the trolls/spammers)
options:
TAKE IT BACK AND GET YOUR MONEY BACK (send it back to tmobile if you bought it online/on phone)
DEAL WITH IT (its a great phone that has alot of developmental support behind i, your loss if you turn away for a older phone)
GET A DIFFERENT PHONE (tmobile offers 14 day returns......... enough said)
SELL IT ON EBAY... (bet you can get profit out of it if you got a spare phone to use)
/RANT
Hey part of your sig says *devices* SGS4G: free from customer loyalty/SENT BACK 14 day return policy! G2X:ORDERED/FREE from customer loyalty!!!!!
"Free from Customer Loyalty" I've been out of contract since Oct help a brother out how did you get a hot new phone for free from TMO
I dont mind the bleed. Its gonna happen with this type of screen. Some posters act like their gonna be using their phone in the dark with a blank screen.
Enjoy this superphone!
You can calm the **** down. Unlike you, myself and many others are not going to say "eh oh well ill deal."
Agreed. This is a non-issue in my book. If XDA had a 'firstworldproblems' subsection, this would be at the top:
"My $500 super flagship smartphone with dual-core 1Ghz CPU, 512MB/8GB, HDMI output, 8MP/1.3MP cameras, and future CM support has slight light bleeding around the edges, and I'm just raging in anger at this piece of junk!!!!"
Edit: I found this just too funny, just posted it on /r/firstworldproblems
I am one if the lucky ones I guess, with no bleed issue. I have seen my friends g2x and it does have small bleeding but only with brightness turned all the way up and on a completely black screen. But it wasn't all that bad and he is keeping his as would I. The device is not perfect and not one made so far has been. Or ever will be perfect. Someone will always find what they think is a flaw.

seriously..... WOW.. I'm not freaking out or anything. but I paid $500 for a device that has an issue. and I know LCD'd do, I have TV's and computer monitors with this issue and it is minor.
but I've used the Droid, the Nexus One, the G2, the Droid X, the Vibrant, and the Droid X, and the EVO and NONE.. NONE had anything even close to this.
maybe 10% of it at most, but nothing as bad as my picture... I understand a little bit of bleed, and will be ok with that, but mine is enough for a replacement IMO. oh and many are saying they have the phone with NO leakage. so as much as we shouldn't be too unhappy, if some don't have the issue, why should I have to have it!
Honestly I'd rather have a screen that bleeds a little and looks great rather than an amoled screen that RAPES your battery. Just saying

Maybe yours needs replacement. But in general, all your past phones weren't perfect either, no phone is perfect. The Droid had limited memory, the Nexus One had a wonky touch screen, the G2 had the hanging hinges, the Droid X had motoblur, etc etc. People will always find some flaw to complain about.

I would agree with you if there were N1s without wonky touch screens, G2s with decent hinges (perhaps there were a few), Droid Xs without motoblur, etc. To me, it's the idea that there are G2xs without the bleeding (and ones not as bad), and I also happened to get a G2x with heavier bleeding than I'd like. Judging by the amount of people who don't have problems, and considering that this is a forum that attracts people who are peculiar about their phones, I'm fairly sure that my replacement won't be anywhere near as bad.
These kinds of threads are common whenever a new phone is released. I think the worst one ever was the G2 and hingegate. However, it's still helpful to get an idea of how widespread certain issues are. Do we need 20 threads about the same thing? No, of course not. But to complain about people saying there's something wrong, in their opinion, with their phone is just stupid.

I suspect the amount of bleeding is roughly the same across all G2xs, but some people are just less sensitive to it. In fact, I had never even known what LCD bleeding is (and I've owned 5 Android phones the last two years) until this G2x drama began. I decided to inspect my devices and sure enough my Nook Color has some bleeding at the bottom. I never noticed it before, but I bet many of the disappointed G2x'ers would have. Some of us just aren't sensitive to it. Kinda reminds me of the 'dust under the screen' paranoia with the N1.

ROFL. It's hard being first... =/
what the hell guys. now you all gave this perfectionist something to look for.
i used adw to hide the staus bar and set my background to solid black. it does show for me in the top right corner moreso than anywhere. on my default home screen, i have the weather clock from beautiful widgets running. i have to really strain to see it. if i slide over to a screen with nothing but black background, it's clearly visible. but only if i put the phone in a dark spot, like under my desk. it's still visible though. but not like it's blinding. even with 2.3 and a black status bar, the icons would hide it,on my phone at least. am i going to return it? no. but if i heard tmo considered this an issue and lg had phones with no bleeding and were willing to replace them? then i might. this phone might get sold in a year if the merger goes through because no way am i going to att. so for me, i can live with it. i did notice it in my camera app before this thread was started. but didn't think it was that big a deal. it's not like it shows while playing videos. and i haven't noticed any problems with pictures taken.
I agree all LCD's have some bleeding, my old G2x had it bad like posted in the other screen thread. I noticed mine immediately after turning it on, on the initial setup screen, on darker background, while playing games, and watching a test movie.
Coming from a N1 with absolutely no bleeding, I chaulked it up as normal for LCD's. After reading some didn't have it, I went to the store and looked at the display model and bought another one.
Comparing the two is night and day. So all I can say is return it if they won't swap it out. The original was purchased online and the second one was tested at a store with a 14 day return policy attached. Getting a refund on the first one.
Yes large lcd monitors and lcd tvs have screen bleed largely due to the tech, but its piss poor for a small 4" lcd display to have screen bleed as well.
You don't see screen bleed on any other lcd phones such as htc desire hd, xperia and the iphone. Do a search on this forum and the only phone that have screen bleed problems is this phone.
This is NOT a common issue on tiny lcd screens.
People saying this is common and should just accept it is just making lame excuses up for lg.
I understand both sides of the story here
Your side: Yes I understand this is super annoying, and it's a KNOWN issue so why didn't someone make 1 Thread about it, and just comment in the thread.
Everyone else side: Okay I would understand the bleeding screen if it were lets say 2008 or so, but it's 2010 and were really having problems with the screen? Seriously? It's not like they didn't know, they merely didn't care I'm guessing.. Another thing that makes me wonder, is why if they are making (they being lg) iPhone retina screens, couldn't they bump up the display a little?
Ps: Idk, not starting anything, just explaining my point of view

Dropped my phone, shattered my screen

The inevitable happened - my screen has a thousand little cracks running through it. The phone works just fine, responds to touches, etc. - but the screen is very hard to read because of the number of cracks. Any thoughts on whether it's possible to replace the screen?
I have insurance on the phone, so I could suck up the $200 AT&T deductible - but would probs at least wait until the One X+ comes out. Still, seems a shame for an otherwise perfect device to be thrown away.
Dang dude in a fit of infuriated rage did you over hand it straight down into the pavement? Lol.. either that or I'm damn lucky cause I'm a clumsy mofo and I drop mine twice daily with mere a scratch.. lol.. good luck and that sux bubba..

Yes, but you will need to replace the screen/digitizer as a combo:

Also, don't post questions in General, use Q&A, and this has been asked and answered 10+ times already. Searching is your friend

Broken Touch Screen Replacement?

Hello guys,
I from Brazil, and um forum threads and sites here, I'm finding lots of people complaining about how I easy is to get your phone touch screen broked... Like happened to me... =(
It's very hard to found someone to replace, and when it's very expensive when you found, like half the price of the phone!
As I like to do thing by myself, anyone knows a online store to buy a replacement? I was told that I'll need a new lcd and touch, because they are attached together.
Tks!

Seems the touch screen issue is pretty much normal lately. Does the touch screen of Moto G has been really easy to get brokened?
It's very easy to get you moto g broken! I read about phone broked after drops from 30cm!
There is a video showing how to disassemble?? Is it easy?
To be honest you might be better off saving yourself the hassle and just buying a new moto g at this point. New screen+digitizer is almost half the price of a new phone.

Yeah, I have a small crack and a 2 cm scratch already. From what, I don't know. I treated it like royalty.
Turns out that unbreakable and unscratchable screen is both breakable and scratchable....
Well I really can't believe it's that easy to break the screen. One thing for sure, it's not "unbreakable and unscratchable", it's scratch resistant (which simply means that it can survive more than "normal" glass, but it's not something magical).
And how come do you notice that it's broken, if you say you "treated it like royalty"? I mean, it's all OK one time, and the next time you take a look, it's broken? Well that's some magic.

I'm quite aware of that, but the way they hype this crap, it sounds like it can survived a nuclear holocaust. I've cracked my fair share of digitizers, so I have a fair understanding of how much punishment they can take. And this is one of the weaker ones.

Basically that's what happened. I didn't see anything a day earlier when I cleaned off the screen. I have honestly no idea what happened. The only thing I can think of is that I had my pass card in the same pocket for maybe an hour. But is seriously doubt it can scratch, not to mention crack, a digitizer.
As for how I found it. I was soldering and left the phone next to the soldering station. I pushed the magnifier aside and when I looked back at the phone I saw the crack though the lens. Its minimal, a maybe 1-1.5 mm X shaped crack. Can't even see it without looking for it in direct light. But its there.

New to the LG G3. Recieved due to insurance claim.

Well around 3 weeks ago I dropped my LG G-flex and cracked the screen. After a little research on replacing the screen I decided filing a claim was my best option. The following day I received a refurbished white d-850. I was very excited after reading up on the specs, it seemed like a nice upgrade. Well that was short lived due to the fact that the touchscreen was nonresponsive at certain points on the screen. Plus it had terrible backlight bleed as well as light coming out between the frame and screen. So I decided it was unacceptable being as I paid a 200 deductible and still owe money on the device. Upon contacting asurion they had no problem replacing the device considering I only had it for about a week. Well to my delight I received the device the following day and it was a BRAND NEW device unlike the previous one. So I've only had the device for a day and I'm already in love! I wasn't happy at first about the screen being slightly smaller than my gflex. However the g3s screen looks AMAZING compared to the gflex. What I'm most impressed with is the camera on this thing! All in all I'm very happy with the device and it is DEFIENTLY a major step up from my G Flex!

Welcome to the G3
The one thing I hated about the G Flex was I had more lag than the G3 and 720p on a 6inch screen was a very bad choice.

Thanks for the welcome! Yes the 720p was horrible on the 6inch screen, I didn't realize how horrible the screen looked until receiving the G3. I'm glad another Gflex owner chimed in because I had quite the illusion going on my first day.? Did you also have the illusion that the G3 was bent the OPPOSITE direction of the G Flex?! It literally seemed the center of the phone was wider in the center from using the G Flex for so long! Luckily it went away now and the phone looks normal! Lol
