LG G6
- Thread starter ZrE0_Cha0s

honestly the general consensus on LG is that it actually over exposes. A bit dark might actually be considered good by normal operating standards
ever since getting the G6 I almost never shoot at Ev 0 in auto, always had to dial back the exposure a bit
even then the G6 still disappoints on several occasions. I had one very bad incident during an overseas trip where someone used my phone to help take group photo, it was indoor with window lighting in afternoon. The stock app picked an ISO of 700, when i finally got down to reviewing the photo, the noise was unbearable
which teaches valuable lesson about using LG. It's only good in manual. If you need to pass the phone to someone to take a photo of you, etc, make sure that someone also know how to shoot manual!
hmm well the management change did kind of worked for samsung
we all remember the famous DJ Koh (or at least last year during Note 7 fiasco he became a top celebrity) he sort of took over around 2015 time period which is when you see samsung move away from the plastic builds to the more premium glass and metal, as well as cutting down on touchwiz bloat etc.
the thing is, Samsung was already hardcore into smartphone competitiveness even before Koh. the best evidence of this was the Samsung SIII way back in 2012. Koh becoming president simply took that competitiveness 1 more step further especially in the department of user feedback.
That is one thing we cant say about LG, they've never been serious. Their lack of marketing, lack of speed in getting devices to retail, demonstrates this.
But on the topic of android update speed, I would argue Samsung and LG are equally bad. LG now is still on 7.0. On samsung side, supposedly in Aug they said 7.1 coming to S8, until now dont know did they deliver yet.
I am using it daily, much better in auto than stock app. I only use stock cam app for manual and video. I am using ver 5.1.106. There is a newer 5.1.108 version released by Google, but haven't tried yet, but looks like it has the black screen issue on G6.
the google camera only has 2 main weaknesses
1. cant save to SD card
2. cant use wide angle lens
other than that its definitely a very good 3rd party app to sideload if possible on your device, its even recommended for other devices like razer phone whose stock app really CMI

Hi,
Does anyone have trouble pulling down the notification menu in lock screen? The menu seems to slide back up. Need a few tries before it can be pulled down and stay.

No problems at all on my set. It might be your screen protector or touch screen issue. Meanwhile you can add the shortcut on your navigation bar to pull down/up the notification menu.

Hmmm.. Doubt is the screen protector or touchscreen as it works fine when unlock. I already have the shortcut but not visible in lock screen. Anyone else?
if youre referring to those screen off gestures, thats an oppo software thing, so oneplus has it
i dont think any other brand has it on their devices
Xiaomi has something like this too...seems like such features are mainly for china branded phones.
Better than the stock LG launcher?

1 dollar only :/ gives u much more customisation. Better or not are subjective, though you have to adjust to the knock to lock screen delay.
After setting the double tap to lockscreen gesture in the app. Will have to wait around 30sec before you can see the always on display. Then you can unlock via fingerprint.
Or u can also double tap at the very top tip just at the edge of the screen to lock as per lgg6 . the fingerprint unlock will be instant too.
work around. works for me.
