LG G3 issues

Anonymous — Sun, 23 Aug 2015 13:22:46 GMT

I've had my G3 for a year and I've tried hard to persever with it but i can't deal with these issues any more.

1) amazingly poor battery life
2) very poor signal even in my house, everyone else in our house gets signal but i can't !
3) even with just standard use it overheats.

It's updated and I have reset it a few times but these issues still happen, i keep my screen at 50% and keep location services off to save on battery.

I was wondering if these are common issues or if its just mine that has these issues. Im considering paying off my contract and getting another phone elsewhere.

Cheers

Why suffer?
You have a 2 year warranty so contact LG for a repair.

PS. We advise against using O2 repairs as they are known for falsely claiming user or water damage and refusing to complete repairs under warranty.

Sounds like something is running all the time to cause battery drain and overheating. It's certainly not normal. Try deleting all the apps you don't use. As for the signal do as @MI5 suggests and get the phone checked out. Also get a new sim card for good measure.

Yep definitely call LG for a service repair. I'm thinking about the LG G4 as my next handset although the S6 Edge has got my attention.

If the above suggestions don't work try a factory reset but back up any pictures etc first. Could also be the battery is getting weak, could be due replacing. I've a G3,battery life isn't brilliant but the screen is a huge drain due to its size and resolution. Try auto brightness or setting the brightness even lower to see if that helps.

Poor Signal may be a fault though, I find my G3 holds a good signal especially wifi. Send it to LG if the reset doesn't help.

The OP has already done a reset, if you read the first post:

My G3 has recently been returned after a sim reader error repair from lg. today it's started to run a restart message as its saying the sim is invalid. What is the issue as o2 issued me with a new sim and it's been repaired.

is there an issue from o2 end or is it the phone?

please help as it now getting on my nerve restarting every 10 mins with the same message.

Does it still do it with no sim in the phone?

Why was the sim replaced? Have you activated the sim or done the sim swap?

it doesn't do the reboot when a sim card isn't present

I would try another sim swap first then.

the original sim was made as a micro sim, the latest was a multi sized adapter sim. so can i get a normal micro sim?

Yes your local O2 store will provide a free sim for you.

All o2 sims are now triple sims (unless there are any old ones left at the back of a draw somewhere) but they all do the same thing.
Just make sure you only push out the size you need or else you'll have to try and stick it back together again.
