When I first got the G Stylo it was by far the fastest phone I've ever had and it still is, but I had to get a replacement phone a couple times because the GPS on the previous phones were straight up trash. Finally I get my hands on one with a perfect GPS... and now I notice that it slows down a tinyyyy bit during the day. The phone still works great but I did notice that in a couple RAM booster apps that I downloaded (I've been trying out different RAM boosters, not all at once) and they all say that there is a total of 1.86 GB of RAM, not the full 2 GB of RAM that Metro said there was. Could this be an issue?
Also my phone is not Rooted. It's stock with Android 5.1.1. with Software Version MS63110J
Also do you think the Stylo will get the Android M update?
Ahhhhhh..... Another person seeing some one offs here.
So my deal is I upgraded VIA T-Mobile's 611. They sent me my Stylo in a day. Here is what I observed with the first phone(yes the first phone)
1. is was 5.1.1 out of the box
2. screen VERY bright!
3. sound was extremely loud, I mean hear it in the next room door closed loud
4. colors very bright and vibrant(didn't know this till I got my second phone)
5. GPS locks in seconds!!! EVERYTIME!!!!! even in downtown Houston!!
6. phone would stutter/skip even on the home screen with just a few icons.
7. battery life was 10% down with GPS on for 1 hour 10 min.
Now the reason for the second phone two sundays ago(there is a reason I am pointing towards a day) I was using the phone on and off before 10am. Right after 10am I went to check an email and the screen was doing this crazy strobing thing. It was not blanking off but seemed like the edges of the phone about half an inch in would strobe from the backlight. It was super strong for about 20min and slowly faded out. I called T-Mobile and they sent me a new phone out under buyers remorse.
a week later when I get the new phone here is the deal
1. is was 5.0.1 out of the box
2. screen bright but not as bright as the first!
3. sound is loud, but cannot hear it in the next room loud like the first one
4. colors ... here is the first big one! The colors are not the same, this phones screen seems sharper but the colors are lighter, a little more washed out and very noticeable.
5. GPS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! takes 5 min to lock and then looses it's lock every few min and nothing at all downtown!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE ****!!!!
6. phone hardly skips a beat when scrolling on the home screen, even when packing on more icons.
7. battery life was 10% down with GPS on for 1 hour 10 min.(same no real dif but did notice maps was higher in battery usage than the screen(same brightness level)
Now while I was waiting for the replacement phone I noticed something odd with the original. At 10am this last sunday the screen did the same exact thing again! It was fine till I turned it on again just after 10am...... I have no idea why it did that, no it's not an app because when it happened the first time exactly one week early to nearly the min I reset the phone hoping it was an app.... since I expected my replacement phone to arrive last tuesday I never restored the original so none of my extra apps were on the phone all week.
So here is the deal why the huge difference in phones???
Any fix for the GPs so I don't have to burn through phones like the first guys here, and with that Hades.... did you see such a difference with the phones?

could be the OS version did you update the other one? and there was talk about LG making this device cheaper by using third party screens and possibly a third party GPS antenna (which would explain the GPS problem if the update doesn't fix it)

Did you say you have stock out of box software rev MS63110J ? I have been waiting to get this OTA from METRO PCS since i bought the phone two weeks ago and keep checking for the update and asking them about it.... maybe it takes time for them to have my phone to be in the system before it gets pushed to me ? Im actually thinking of rooting and flashing the update but not sure i want to root flash then root again . this whole update getting pushed to our phones is bull**** you call your provider they say its up to the manufacturer to find out if the update is coming then they tell you its up to the provider to get that info my gripe is this 10J is a security issue fix we should have this fix immediately its almost already time for the next version of android ffs lol

My bad, I wasn't clear. When I said I was running stock I meant I didn't root the phone. No I got the update pushed to my phone about a week ago. Here take a look.

Well I burned through like 3 phones. This last phone.. its good. It slows down after a couple days without a restart but I guess that is understandable. The screen has always been consistently bright, this last phone though the colors do seem a bit washed out, but the gps locks faster than I can say "GPS." The volume is loud, and I'm hoping the color wash out is just my eyes messing with me. It's nothing horrible... but I'm very touchy about screens and their performance. One thing that does seem to get me though... The front facing camera is supposed to be 5mp and the first phone I had took AMAZING selfies. This one seems just... meh... So I might go back in and get that checked out at Metro.... but I don't want to risk getting a replacement phone that has a worse GPS...
Any thoughts on the Anroid 6.0 though?
I am going to resurrect this thread.
Ok T-Mobile let me keep the original phone for a bit and here is what I have found.
both phones on the j software
the original has mostly green for GPS(using GPS test) the replacement never hits green on any sat
The original screen has crisper colors
The original does seem to bog down a little every now and then
The replacements touch screen is touchy and causes me to type erratically
The original doesn't creek
And the original has a much louder speaker
So I am thinking I will be sending the replacement back and keeping the original and hope for the best with that crazy screen flicker thing every Sunday at 10AM. and no it's not an app as the original has been setting for a couple weeks now without me logged in and the only app sideloaded being GPS Test.
It is clear that at this point trying to get a replacement for the replacement might yield the same GPS issues. If the screen on the original dies I'll just order a replacement but I have never had a phone with this great of a GPS as the original and I mean it is good. I'll do up some screenshots of the two side by side and post em up. Just crazy how different they are.
If I were u I would root it and install turbo's ROM. My battery lasts all day now and the internet and browsing is super fast. This is the best thing for this phone
Can I run turbo's ROM on my LG LGH635 (Stylus) ?
mine is like that
1. its 5.0.2 after 1 and only update
2. screen is bright
3. sound is loud
4. screen seems sharp but the colors are light, a little washed out
5. GPS does not suck but with a GPS Status & Toolbox it keeps phone up and good
6. phone hardly skips a beat when scrolling on the home screen, even when packing on more icons but its loosing all of the background apps quickly when running something bigger like a game or browser
7. battery life is fine while playing Ingress

i believe his rom is only intended for the metro/tmobile lg g stylo...but why not pop into his thread and ask him?
When I was having slowness, it was because my free space was low. Free up some internal storage space. Also disable/remove the My TMobile app.
Ok so happy days are here!!!
Talked to T-Mobile and they were being cool they were willing to send me out another phone, but I asked if I could just return both and clear my account and they said yes. With that I went to Wally and snagged up the last one on the shelf because of a hint in another forum. Seems that one guy on here is correct, TM and LG are now putting cheaper screens, antennas and memory in these things. But the hint was that Wally's shipments and warehouse stock are the original patches and yep I got lucky and got one!!! GPS locks in less than 5 sec and never looses me and I have even seen it hang around 9 feet!!! The screen is bright and crisp and the colors are like the first one I got and are nice and vibrant! The speaker is even louder! I can hear pandora clearly 60 feet away.... might be too loud lol.
Also the phone is faster and is running nice and smooth.
So I am now happy and I mean happy lol
Buuuuuuut, When looking at the memory on this one compared to the other two there is 5.6gig of System Data.... I looked around and someone found dialer codes for the G3/4 to clear out a log cache but I have yet to find it for this phone. Again the original two only have system data of around 300megs. Doesn't matter to much since I snagged up a 128Gb MSD and threw in it, but not everything can go on the MSD.
Might try that Turbo rom but I have a few work apps that look for root so I'll have to wort that out first, I need them.

Hey guys,
I got a new S7 1 and a half months ago and a few days ago my Headphonejack and Earspeaker started crackling. I notice it while listening to Phonecalls and Whatsappvoicemails. Aux doesn't work with different Headphones etc. It sounds really weird and I don't know where it comes from.
First of all the device didn't get wet neither I dropped it on the floor. Last week I made the update to the new November FW if that can be related to this, but I already tried:
- Blowing out dirt from Aux and Earspeaker
- Factoryreset
- Looking for Apps like callrecorder etc.
- UHQ Upscale
- Flashing the firmware again
Any Tipps?
Thanks in advance!

How long has it been like this?
Did u wet the phone that might have caused this?
If it is persisting then I would suggest you to go samsung store under warranty.

Hey,
I already mentioned it didn't get wet etc. It started a few days ago. Everything works fine except for this. Today I contacted Amazon and they will return my money, so i'll get a new one. Really disappointed from Samsung because it's my second S7 in 7 months.. now it's time for my third one..

Hi
Off topic... check your phone with this app to see if is a original or a refurbish , i had mine for 6 months and no problem at all
Where can i see that it is original? It was produced in July 2016 and i don't have any csc anymore after reflashing the fw? What can i do for this?

I have only had my phone for about a couple weeks if not more, and it already has screen ghosting. I'm kind of afraid that they'll give me a more faulty G5. It happened with my girlfriend over and over, every replacement she got had rebooting problems. What should I do?

I personally wouldn't bother doing a replacement. Download and use blue light filter app from play store, which will stop the ghosting issues from happening. Also you can use screen burn in fixer apps from play store and let it run for a couple hours to fix your current ghosting or just let it with screen of for awhile like overnight or so and use the blue light filter. It's not actually screen burn in so just use the blue light filters. You could also unlock your phone and use a custom ROM and they have built in settings of LiveDisplay where you can manually adjust RGB settings to help.
I lived with the blue screen filter app for the 6 months I've had my G5 and then I cracked the screen, bought a replacement and got a perfectly working one, it honestly looks amazing and it's great not to worry about ghosting anymore. I've found the LiveDisplay settings and even color corrections from AOSP roms had no influence in ghosting, the only reliable way was the blue screen filter app, also there is not an app that works when in recovery or at startup optimization. I'd say go for the replacement.

Just something to be aware of is that it sometimes doesn't happen right away. I had my G5 for 6 months or so before having an issue with it. I've seen many others report the same while others had the issue within days. Even my girlfriends g5 was okay for about 8 months and then had the ghosting issues and I had to use blue light filter app for her since she's on stock. Also LiveDisplay works just fine in aosp ROMs to fix the issue if LiveDisplay is actually working in that rom (some ROMs it's not working on and none had working live display up until a couple months ago. I use it on RR and have no issue with screen ghosting now. But either way op, it is up to you.

Yeah my mistake when I said LiveDisplay has no influence, I meant to say that even though​ I lowered almost to 80% blue pixels in color calibration and using LiveDisplay at the same time ghosting still existed (less noticeable), at least for me. Using blue light filter app removed it completely.

Ah ok. Yeah I found only lowering blue pixels will not work. Instead I lower all 3 to 90% and it's completely gone. I figured that since the blue light filter apps lower blue pixels that would work same with LiveDisplay but still noticed it, so I tried reducing all 3 and it worked. Also changed from Auto mode to day only settings to get rid of yellowish tint LiveDisplay uses at night time.
I'm tired of this. It's been 8 days since I got this phone and It's still absolutely unusable in conditions like dimmed room with any source of light (i.e tv or bedside lamp), or mounted in a car used as a satnav, or with lights off in the dark.
Aactually, it can play up at anytime, any day, any night.
It's unbelievable that in 2019 I can't get normally behaving display under controlled conditions. It goes up and down like crazy. Tried to teach this thing by adjusting manually every time hoping for the best but no improvement. It's just totally unreliable and I hope Amazon will accept my return. My first and only journey with this company has ended. I knew I shouldn't go with chinese brand, I knew it. Never ever again.
It's 10pm here, I'm sitting only with a small bed side lamp and whilst writing this post the brightness went up to 1/3 of the scale 3 times for no reason and never went back down where it should be. This makes my eyes bleed. What a joke.
The phone is awesome besides that 1 hiccup I do agree that brightness issue sucks but not to the point you have said.
I hope they fix it.

It's nowhere near as big of a problem as you're making it out to be.
I really think you are exaggerating. All phones have issues and on average this phone is very good.
The problem is they keep saying they've fixed it when they clearly haven't. I can get complete dimness in daylight all of a sudden. This is the first phone I've ever experienced auto brightness problems.

Already updated and still the same for me. I have to manually untick and retick the auto brightness icon for it to correct at least once a day.
i feel that it was better with the latest update, maybe try to Wipe Cache? to see if it helps
That's one of the reasons i will switch to a custom rom when they are full functional. But that's been the issue with all oneplus phones at oos, in my experience. I had the 5t and 6, i thought it was the same.
It's not that hard to download an autobrightness app like lux

Are you saying that custom ROMs can help with that? I may try it.
I used to use Lux app on my Nexus 6p and it worked well. But this app has never been updated to work with current versions of android. Probably because all the manufacturers can get it done right out of the box

Nothing changed in this update, infact this update is broken, i lose connection all the time and some calls cant get through, i have been forced to go back to 9.5.10
I have no problem with adaptive brightness. Since Android Pie, AI from google handle the adaptive brightness. See more https://venturebeat.com/2018/08/28/how-android-pies-adaptive-battery-and-adaptive-brightness-work/
My adaptive brightness is not that bad. I only really need to adjust at night in bed with lights off. Other than that i think it works well.

Before Adaptive brightness was supposedly improved I used a product called Lux (no longer works on Android Pie) and compared to that apps options and ease of use the OP7 pro implementation of Adaptive Brightness sucks. You simply need to spend too much time teaching it to "adapt" while missing profiling options for particular circumstances to override the adapt option and just have the brightness level you desire for what your using the phone for at that particular time. Older android versions beat the current situation hands down at least on this phone. On the whole I love OOS and the OP7 Pro but this is a fail in my books. One that I've actively looked for a way to correct.
I rarely find it a problem
Not a issue for me and seems to get better each update...
Too dim auto brightness on stock oos . Same with all?
Auto brightness has never worked reliably for me. Ever since I got the OP7 last November that has been wonky and did what it wanted, not what it should do according to room illumination.
I turned it off months ago and adjust it manually :good:
