Got my pro last week and just wanted to share my observations.
Had the Kaiser before (still do as i still haven't sold it)
Loving this device so far with the stock rom, going to try DCS rom later today. I used throttle launcher with the kaiser so getting to use the real touch flo 3d was a treat. Still have a problem with the audio tab, as it seems to crash when ever i load it.
GPS is a downer so far out of the gate as it took 20 min for me to get a fix yesterday and then i kept losing it (using TT7) gonna try gpsgate for now until that problem is solved.
didn't like the fact that it came with a charger where the cable is also used for pc sync (the kaiser came with a complete charger and a separate usb cable) but I still have a couple of other Usb chargers so its all good.
the nice difference has been the camera. you can see the difference in pictures with the attachments. the touch pro may not have the best video camera in the world by far, but for stills it does a damn good job, better than I have seen before on windows mobile.
usb 2.0 has helped as I lost my first micro sd reader, and then my second one has stopped working.
Keyboard is pretty good. hardware keyboard i still keep missing the "a" button and hitting the caps lock. software keyboard is pretty good sometimes the word suggestion can be annoying especially when spelling names.
if it turns out that this device can get 3g in north america, im laughing. if not, I will be selling it as paying $30 for 6GB of edge data, will not be worth it in IMHO.
left to test: video playback with vga encoded vids and tv out (when i actually purchase the cable)
Suddenly my 6+ went quiet....it does not ring, play music, the speaker is completely dead. Headphones work.... Not sure if this is related to hardware or firmware, so I'm just wandering if others have experienced this.
I have a Chinese version of the phone, running on a developer version, CUSTCHN00D672, downloaded from the EMUI site. It still vibrates, but I'm sort of handicapped with a phone who does not ring.........almost as it's stuck in DoNot Disturb......
Edit: Ordered a new speaker from China, USD 6,- + Repair set/opening tools, USD 1.5. this phone is too good to dump after one years use...
So I received the speaker, opened the phone, and changed it.... Speaker worked, but phone did not boot. Would not start at all without the charger . ? Tried to use Multitool and rescue, but since it was locked, it was not possible. Tried a KitKat Rom, it installed, but still no boot. Seems I have in some way I have wrecked some contacts on the PCB where the USB port is, while trying to pry loose the speaker holder(just plastic). So, be a bit more gentle if you try to open this phone... A pity, but seems I'll go for a new Honor 7, as I don't think it will be affordable to change the PCB. The speaker has stopped working again, so it may be something else which is wrong with the phone... Love the EMUI, and the dual cameras on the 6+, so the Honor 7 seems to have most of the things I need in a phone. If somebody have better recommendation, please advice!
In my corvette and my cadillac my bluetooth wont stay connected for music after i leave the car and return back into car, Ill have to delete it and repair to stream music bluetooth. anyone having these same issues with there Tmobile Lg G5? because if not ill return mines
I have a similar issue. I have Bluetooth headphones I always wear. And I have a Bluetooth connection in the car. When I get in the car it tries to play over the car (said it would play audio over the last Bluetooth audio connection connected the first time it paired) but I hear nothing. If I change the connection between either Bluetooth connection I get no audio. I can only get audio if I play it directly on the phone or I turn the headphones off, then restart whatever app I was using to play music. It is quite a pain.

try in your rolls royce and your aston martin and see if you can replicate the problem, OP.
[jk but we need more info: factory or aftermarket bluetooth receivers in these vehicles? how did they behave with connecting to different devices via bluetooth? mine is an aftermarket stereo and it connects automatically in about 30-60 seconds or i can just open bluetooth settings and select my stereo's name and its instant. never have to re-pair.]

In my car I am using a cheap usb Bluetooth dongle connected to audio in port. I connect fine. It actually connects very quickly and from much further distances as my previous phones. Main issue is the sound seems to go nowhere if I have more than one Bluetooth device connected at once.

I have the same issue with my JVC Bluetooth car radio... What I have done to resolve the issue soo far is turn the bluetooth off through the quick menu then start my vehicle, turn bluetooth back on and it works properly then.
I have my radar detector connected via Bluetooth and my car , stock radio 2012 camaro .. I will be listening to music then randomly it goes blank forcing me to wait for a disconnect and reconnect again to hear anything

Had This Issue With My Car and the LG V10 & G4 But not G5
Maybe just maybe there are 2 different chipsets for bluetooth. I had this issue you're talking about in my 2016 Honda HRV with both of LG previous phones, LG V10 & G4. Typically, they do fix this issue with updates however I think it might be "deeper" than that... if there's 2 different bluetooth chips being put into phones it might explain the issues that some people get and others do not. I know when I planned on getting the LG G5, I made sure it was not at the store where I would have to give over my Jump On Demand phone immediately, my S7 Edge, before I confirmed this issue was not present with the G5. At any rate, I lucked out I guess because knock on wood, no issues. Don't know if would could ever confirm different chips but hopefully they release a bug update to fix soon. :good:

Mine worked fine for the first day or soo then started having issues....Weird thing is that I never had issues with my V10 and the same radio
I have this exact issue... can't quite figure out who to talk to about it (ex. Marshmallow Android or LG support) I've tried more than 1 LG G5 phone and the same thing occurs across what appears to be all GM manufactured vehicles (of which I'm assuming doesn't necessarily have to do at with any manufactured GM vehicle, just coincidental.) Odd part of it is, when making calls through Bluetooth, that always works, no having to pair/unpair.
I too have wondered if this is primarily with GM vehicles. Had a rental Suburban that had the exact issue as OP. Luckily my '16 Canyon does not but then the reason I had the Suburban was because the dealer was doing the Android Auto update on my truck (among other things). Not sure if the issue would have existed previously in the truck since I didn't have the phone at that point. I've had no issue with Bluetooth on any other device though. On a truck forum I frequent though, others are having the same issue but with different phones.

the issue I have is when I have two bluetooth devices connected... so I have my hbs800 already on and streaming and I get to my truck and turn it on. At this point my phone now sees the Pioneer deck and connects to it, however randomly like 1 a week it will connect only call audio, not media. I've tried power cycling the deck, my headphones, basically everything but the bluetooth on the phone and it will never connect to media only call audio. I power cycle just the bluetooth on the phone and with no issue it will connect through media.
Having the same issue with my G5 connecting to my 2015 Colorado. Initial pairing music streams fine. Shut the truck off and turn it back on, everything reconnects, but no audio is heard. Have to completely unpair and delete connections and start over to get it back working. I hope this gets fixed soon!
Works fine in my Acura ILX stock radio
Seems to be a compatibility issue with GM products. Have the same issue with both my '16 GMC Canyon and a rental Suburban. Very irritating. At least with my Canyon I can plug the phone in and use Android Auto, which works well.

The BT is total garbage on the G5. I use LG tones at work. I'll be walking around the shop which can be noisy and music will just stop. After the machinery quiets I'll realize the music is playing from the phone speaker. On my way to work this morning I'm getting into The Sickness and it's just picking up and all the sudden the music stops and starts playing through the phone speaker. I pulled over and restarted my car, it reconnected so I took off again and 30 seconds later it did it again. It happened once before while playing Let It Go for my kids so I wasn't even mad about that but today I almost lost my ****...
How fo i connect my LG G6 to my Kenwood...it asks for passkey and o put in 0000 and say wrong passkey
Hey guys I'm having issues with Bluetooth with this phone. I connect it to my lg hbs810 and I can't even have my phone in my pocket without the music cutting bad.
I've tried resetting it, turning on and off airplane and wifi but it keeps cutting. I've tried it with my Bluetooth speaker and I can't even get 3ft away from it without music cutting on it too. I tried the hbs810 on my wife's lg Stylo and it works flawlessly. I could be in another room and it never cuts out with her phone. Anybody have any ideas?
I have got Model 6045Y with android 6.0.1 and no bluetooth problems...do you have a metal case? sometimes it makes bluetooth and oter connections weaker ...
Sorry for the late reply. It acts the same regardless if it's in the case or not. And no my case isn't metal either.
HI
soI just brought a mi stick. I currently have a firestick but are getting an extra couple of TV's so thought mi stick mat be the way to go cost wise.
It loads fine, and connects fine. It is close to the roiuter, and no other settings or phyical things have changed compared to firectick use (i take one stikc out, put the other in).
My issue that every 30 seconds or so the screen goes black for a couple of seconds, This happens if usinf netlfix, or anything else, even if in the sticks own menus.
Is this connection dropping? If so how do I stop it. I have tried the 5g and non 5g option of connecting to my vodafone router. I am in the EU.
Any ideas anyone? Much appreciated if so...

I have an issue, but I don't know if it' s related. When I connect to the sound system via bluetooth, the sound drops for a second or so every few minutes. But I haven't had your screen blanking problem. I'm also in the EU (France).

it is plugged in to the TV with the same lead as the firestick.....
ooh i wonderi if i should changeit to one in the box.
I also got an error message for the hdmi source just now - incorrect resolution. It isset to auto detect. My TV is a UHD Samsung 4k. It was at 1080 60Hz. Icant find if that is correct... so I am trying 1080i 60Hz and see if that works!
I figured it.... manually changed the resiltio to 1080i - perfect.
Android TV running memory is too small, can it be expanded? How to expand!
