Nah that button swap that Samsung insist on annoys me

Button swap?

I think he meant the Back and Closing 'buttons' at the bottom, touchscreen if you must.

I see I see!

Isn't Samsung's layout the right way round? While LG's the opposite way around?

Tomato, Tomarto. It's the same to mod here.
Just takes alittle getting used to

I don't think Samsung's layout is correct. Nexus phones, LG, Sony, Motorola, HTC have it in the correct order which is Back, Home and Recent Apps.

I guess it's because majority of people use Samsung so they think that's the correct layout for Android

I suppose it's a thing of preference! (no right or wrong, just opposites of each other)

But you are right that the layout is back (left), recent apps (right)

Bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 from Qoo10 for $225.80 and it performs better and the battery lasts MUCH longer. Only thing worse is the camera.

No regrets.

samsung and chinese brands like xiaomi, oppo etc like to reverse the button layout.

LG is actually following the correct button layout.

Yep and the thing is Samsung uses capacitive buttons so even if the software mod reverses it, it still looks odd.

Caved and bought a new nexus 5x (32gb) for $300. Snappier than g4 and stock Android <3. amazing that it's so much smoother than the g4 despite having less ram and the same processor. Camera isn't that much worse either. Hopefully it doesn't have a bootloop issue as well...

I google and saw there are some Nexus 5x with bootloop issues.

Yeah but alot less. I mean assuming the phone is different and seeing Google has its stamp on it.. and my really good prior experience from the Nexus 5, willing to take my chances haha. It's cheap anyway!

Haha yeah. But LG Nexus 5 was also made by them and it was pretty damn good. Anyway, i just collected my G4 from the service center. I spoke to their mobile supervisor named Shi Da who told me that all bootloop fixes from March onwards have yet to recur and he said I can quote him on that. Anyone here dio bootloop for second time after having a repair from March onwards?

Not bad turnaround time quite fast this time. Ytd check in today got sms to collect.

March ah? That means 603 boards? Ok then I guess I shall wait for my 601 to bootloop then....

Yeah. but i think rabak man. I just read somewhere someone 606 board also got bootloop.

Have a feeling it's more than just replacing the motherboard that's required - so regardless of S/N, it might still possibly fall into a bootloop.

But it's always nice to replace with a fresh mb it's akin to replacing an engine in a car despite the engine repeatably failing
