It's quite a worrying trend to see so many folks here have had their G4s taken away at such a tender age and warped into fashionable paper-weight items.. covered with leather of course, out of the blue. My suspicion like many, points towards the hardware and not so much on the recent update (10d). I like many have been on 10d since it was made available and have been unaffected by this strange phenomenon where your G4 suddenly decides to commit suicide.. (so far.. touch wood)

But I think, it will be helpful for the community if we can share the details of the phone in particular, the ESN Date (Production Date) of the affected batch and perhaps, in doing so may uncover a trend and be of help to others.. LG as you know, won't be so forthcoming but maybe we can try this on our own.

ESN Date (Production Date) for my phone : May 14 2015

You can check yours at the link below. Just key in your phone IMEI no.

has anybody went to the LG service center to have a check on the camera module? I think mine has some issue with it. If so, may I know how much will it cost to replace the camera?
TIA

You dun have to expose your IMEI to any website. Just check your serial no. (found on the box or stickers inside).

First digit : 5 - Year 2015
2nd-3rd digit : Month (01 for Jan, 05 - May, 12 - Dec, etc.)
K : Korea
Last 6 digits : Last 6 digits of your imei no.

While your concern may be noble but with the serial number there is no way of telling for end user the exact batch the phone is from. Serial method only provides month and year. LG and other phone giants produce easily, 4 to 8 batches or even more per month depending on the demand and popularity of the model especially so, for newer launched models. So it has to be date specific, if you want to find out batch or narrow down to a issue.

Many enthusiast including myself have used varying types of phones and many such websites to get certain codes to unlock certain phones but you need to have the physical phone to do anything devious. Of course, if you are working for the CIA, Mi-6 or by chance your name is James Bond then yes, you may want to refrain from divulging your IMEI. :o

In fact, by downloading simple apps off Google Play you divulge more info then just your IMEI number to app developers and some of these devs don't really have your best interest in mind, trust me.. (read up on app permissions). :)

Actually, I forgotten my initial production date.

Oct 26 2015 I believe is the new motherboard production date.
