Luckily i backed up my data.. photos in google photos. Whatapps in drive and etc..

Went service centre yesterday and they waive the replacement fees(my g4 is 1 year 11 month old..) i didnt even need to request but another customer who was beside me with the same problem didnt get to replace for free(he claim his g4 is 11month old but without receipt) I guess it all depend on the CSO that serve you.

I updated already. Don't feel like there's much difference. Probably just some security patch

so a while ago in this thread last year i mentioned 1 reason of my reluctance to upgrade to MM on my G4 was that it has SD card read/write issues whereby if you try to view the files on a PC, some files appear corrupted and have file size 0KB and its the same whether the phone is connected via USB or via LG Bridge.

Since recently I had a huawei P10 Plus to try out (which is on nougat, making the android version even newer than MM), I wanted to see if I can replicate the issue

Turns out I actually could. And I am certain now I made the incorrect assumption of it being LG's build of MM being problematic. It might actually have been the gallery app I use (Quickpic) and a bug in its copy photo to new folder functionality whereby if you copy a large quantity of files to a folder on SD card, Quickpic may not succeed copying 100% of the data. Quickpic also sometimes had trouble refreshing its album when deleting pics on SD card, another issue I was able to replicate.

Looking at Quickpic now in the google play store, it hasnt been updated in over 4 months so I think best option for me is to now cease use of that app and find a new gallery app.


Im still not going over to MM on the G4 though cos I'm not convinced the battery life is much better.

Nice writeup! Thanks! A lot of people found Quickpic to be a poor app after it was bought over by some Chinese firm which* is known for providing apps which infringe on privacy. I also uninstalled it as soon as I heard the news. I'm also still on the v10f because i heard the logd process in MM that drains the battery fast.

yea the company that bought it was cheetah mobile 2 years ago. the controversy was so great that entire sites ran articles about the acquisition

I had still continued to use it though, since it retained its functionality (unlike ES File Explorer, now that one was an infamous disaster) but I guess quickpic never quite made the proper transition over to android versions newer than lollipop.

Hi guys, my LG G4 succumbed to the bootloop issue last week, almost 1.5 years after I bought it.

For the longest time I thought I was lucky or my unit was not affected, but my luck finally ran out.

Took it to the service center today and they agreed to do the warranty replacement of the MOBO for a new redesigned one at no cost. This is despite me not having my original receipt and the unit being more than a year old.

For you info, in case anybody runs into the same problem.

I just got image retention on my G4. Tried all kind of screen burn tool and it still came back after just 1-2 minutes of using an app. I turned Twilight on Always mode and seems like it's gone for now. I'll see how it goes.

(The color I use is 1500K, with 30% opacity and 10% screen dim. It's pretty unnoticeable. Posting this here so if anyone meets the same problem can try it out. From my reading, it seems that pure white #fffff + heat prone to cause this problem, so hopefully this will kick it away for good.)
