Today, LG is one of the best manufacturers of Android smartphones, but, as practice shows, their devices are not without problems and errors. Below we provide a list of the most common problems with the LG G3 smartphone and options for solving them.

Main problems of LG G3:

1. Problems connecting the Aux cable

Some LG G3 users have problems connecting their smartphone to external speakers using a dual Aux cable. Sometimes the phone simply refuses to connect, and the music continues to play through the phone speakers; sometimes the phone connects, but when the music stops, it starts making an incomprehensible noise.

Crutches:

• Try turning on music on your smartphone and while it is playing, twist the end of the cable in different directions until the LG G3 detects it.
• Try downloading other music playing apps.
• Installing the SoundAbout application to set up sound profiles helped someone.

Possible solutions:

• Check for software updates in [ Settings > About phone > Update > Software update > Check for update ].
• Try connecting a different aux cable.

2. Problem: smartphone is charging slowly

Many complaints about the LG G3 are related to the charging time of the smartphone. The phone comes with a 1.8 amp charger, so it should not take more than two hours to fully charge the phone (unless, of course, you are using the phone at this time). But remember that during the first days of use, charging takes longer, since the new phone is just starting to work - you can only start to panic after several full charging cycles.

Possible solutions:

• Make sure you're using the charger and cable that came with your LG G3 (and that the outlet you're using works).
• To eliminate the problem in the charger, try charging the phone with another charger that is similar in current strength to yours (if the current strength is lower, the phone will charge more slowly; if it is higher, then, accordingly, faster).
• If changing the charger doesn't change anything, you might want to consider returning or exchanging your phone.

3. Problem: the notification indicator does not work

For some LG G3 owners, the notification indicator periodically refuses to work: it may blink or glow while charging, but does not indicate incoming notifications.

Possible solutions:

• Open the status bar and make sure the LED indicator is on.
• Go to [Settings > Display > LED Indicator] and make sure it is turned on. You can try turning it off and then on again.
• Remove the back cover of the smartphone and take out the battery; After a couple of seconds, place it back and turn on your LG G3 again.
• You can try setting up the indicator using the Light Manager application.

4. Problem: Wi-Fi does not connect or the connection drops

Some LG G3 users have problems with the WiFi network: in some cases they cannot connect to the selected network, but most often the smartphone connects for a while, and then the connection suddenly breaks and is not restored.
There are several options to solve this problem:

Possible solutions:

• First, reboot your router.
• Turn off your smartphone, remove the battery from it, then put it back and turn on the phone again.
• Go to the [ Settings > Wi-Fi ] menu, click on the name of your network and select “Forget this network” in the menu that appears. After this, reconfigure the connection.
• Make sure that “Deactivate Wi-Fi” is not checked in the “Energy Saving” menu
• If you have Bluetooth turned on, try turning it off - sometimes it can interfere with Wi-Fi.
• In the Wi-Fi section, find the "Advanced" menu and try changing the settings here. If possible, try connecting to the 5 GHz frequency instead of 2.4 GHz (if your router supports 2 frequencies).
• Install Wi-Fi Analyzer and check how busy the channel your network is on is. If you suspect this is the problem, try switching to a less busy channel.
• Check available updates for your router and install the latest firmware if possible.

5. Error: the smartphone turns off by itself

Some LG G3 owners have discovered that their smartphone has a nasty habit of turning off from time to time for no apparent reason. In most cases, the phone turns on either by itself or after pressing the power button, but some users have to bring the smartphone back to life by removing and then reinserting the battery.

Possible Solution:

Copy all important information from your smartphone and try a factory reset. You can do this through the menu [ Settings > General > Backup & reset > Reset data > Erase everything ].

6. Problem: Short battery life

The LG G3's battery capacity is 3,000 mAh, but don't forget that in addition to a large battery, the smartphone also has a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, so depending on your settings, the phone may drain quite quickly.

Crutches:

• You can start with the general ones.
• You can also try setting the power saving mode in the [ Settings > Battery ] menu. You can choose at what charge level the power saving mode will turn on and which phone functions it will turn off.
• The LG G3 has a removable battery, so you can buy and carry a spare battery (or portable charger) with you at all times.

Possible solutions:

If you just bought a smartphone, then give it time to fully get into use, because the first days after purchase are the most intensive in terms of use.
There may be some application that is consuming most of the battery power, you can check this in the [Settings > General > Battery > Battery Usage] menu. If you find an application that is consuming a suspiciously large amount of energy, first of all, check its updates; If it's updated, it might be worth finding a replacement.

7. Problem: the smartphone gets hot

Overheating of the phone is another problem associated with the large screen of the LG G3 and it will negatively affect the battery life. Luckily, your smartphone screen is designed in such a way that its brightness will automatically dim when the screen gets too hot (you'll notice this when using resource-intensive apps).
But keep in mind that with intensive use, any smartphone will start to heat up because the large screen consumes a lot of energy.

Crutches:

If you know that you will be watching a movie, playing games, or shooting videos for a long period of time, then remove the case or case from your smartphone in advance.

Possible solutions:

• If you feel like your phone is already getting too hot, try turning it off for a while and making sure it cools down.
• If your smartphone gets hot even when the screen is off, you might want to consider returning or replacing your phone.
• The advice from the point about saving battery power is also relevant here: the smartphone will heat up less if the battery consumption is reduced.

8. Problem: phone unlocks in pocket

What irritates many users is that the G3 itself can unlock in a pocket or bag. Most likely, this is due to the Knock On function (“Turn on the screen with a double tap”), but it is not so easy to turn it off.

Crutches:

• Do not place the G3 in your pocket with the screen facing your body.
• Use LG's QuickCircle case or another flip case that covers the screen.

Possible solutions:

On the LG G2, you can disable the Knock On feature in [Settings > General > Gestures], but the G3 doesn't seem to have that option.
You can go to the LG service menu by dialing 3845#*855# on your phone, scroll down to the desired function and disable it. The number 855 at the end of the code is the model number “LG G3 D855”, therefore, if the last digits of your model are different (phone for a different region), when dialing the number you must use the digits that are indicated for you.

9. Problem: Bluetooth is unstable

Users often encounter problems with bluetooth settings: the connection may simply not be configured, or may be interrupted at the most inopportune moment. For some users, even when turning on Bluetooth, the message “Bluetooth application has stopped” appears on the phone screen.

Possible solutions:

• First, go to Settings > About Phone > Software Update to make sure you have the latest software updates. Also make sure you set up the connection with the other device correctly and don't miss any pop-ups or messages;
• Go to the “Settings” menu > “Battery” > “Energy Saving” and uncheck the box next to “Bluetooth” (if it is checked);
• Go to Settings > Bluetooth and remove your LG G3's previous connections to other devices. After that, try setting up the connection in a new way;
• If you have problems with Bluetooth every now and then, then in the same “Settings” > “Bluetooth” menu, check the profile of the second device by clicking on the gear icon next to it. First of all, make sure that each field is checked;
• Try using the Bluetooth Auto Connect app to connect.

LG Company For some time now I have started to please with very interesting smartphones. She first began collaborating with Google, gaining invaluable experience working with the Android operating system. And then very interesting flagships began to appear. Now You can easily find LG G3 in stores. This is one of the most advanced smartphones. Its front panel houses a touch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. The screen of this device contains more dots than most computer monitors. The device also surprises with a 13-megapixel laser-guided camera. The permanent memory can be expanded using a microSD card. The smartphone runs on the Android operating system. And these are just the main characteristics of the device; the device also has many other interesting sensors.

In this material we will try to give seven tips for improving LG G3 smartphone. After all, buyers of this device do not use even 20% of the provided capabilities. These are the people we want to help. We will tell you about those features of the LG G3 that may be unfamiliar to you.

On-screen navigation keys

Most modern smartphones are not equipped with physical or touch keys on the front panel. Instead, the navigation keys appear at the bottom of the display. The same can be said about the LG G3. Not everyone suspects this, but you can perform various operations with these buttons. For example, you can change their color, reduce transparency, and also add a couple of new keys. This is done in the settings. Just follow the path "Device>Display>Main touch buttons".

A minimum of three buttons can be placed on the screen, which are necessary for easy navigation through the operating system. Among the additional keys, you can highlight the element responsible for the appearance of the notification panel. There is also a separate key that works with the QMemo application.

Additional functions of navigation keys

The theme of navigation buttons can be continued. The fact is that pressing them for a long time causes a context menu to appear. As a result, you will be able to access certain features almost instantly. For example, try holding down the "Back" key. This will allow you to switch to dual-window mode.

Holding down other keys allows you to access the theme change or global settings of the smartphone. This feature is very useful and worth remembering.

Adjusting the vibration strength

Some LG G3 owners find the vibration used by the smartphone to be too strong. Other users claim that the vibration motor works almost unnoticeably. If you also consider yourself to be one of these groups of people, then try adjusting the vibration strength.

Smartphone LG G3 allows you to customize vibration for each specific case. For example, the device will vibrate when receiving a notification with one force, and when there is an incoming call, the vibration will increase significantly. The vibration strength is selected in the settings. To do this, you need to follow the path "Device>Sound>Vibration Strength".

Customizing the Notification Panel

The notification panel in the LG G3 is also subject to all sorts of settings. By default, this section of the operating system contains system switches for wireless modules, as well as volume and brightness controls. At any time you can increase the number of switches, as well as get rid of unused ones. To do this, you just need to scroll the switch to the right, and then select “Change”. Using the same method, you can get rid of the brightness and volume controls, freeing up space in the notification menu. However, you should not be surprised if after purchasing an LG G3 you do not find these sliders in the notification panel. It’s just that some smartphone modifications may differ in such little things.

The method we have indicated may not work. In particular, at least one modification is equipped with firmware that does not allow you to disable the display of the volume control in the notification menu.

Setting up the app switcher

Like any other smartphone, the LG G3 has a multitasking button. It allows you to move from one open application to another. Displaying open applications can be done in three ways. It’s interesting that switching program display modes is very simple.

Press the multitasking key. You will see the main display mode of open applications. Now use the gesture that is usually used to enlarge a picture. This will take you to the next mode. In it, large sketches will be divided into two groups. Repeat the gesture, which will allow you to be in the third mode. It will display applications in exactly the same way as it is done in stock Android. To close programs in this case, you need to move them to the left or right.

Adjusting color and contrast

Not a single LG G3 buyer had any complaints about the display resolution. But some smartphone owners still complain about color rendition. Fortunately, the manufacturer has built into the device a convenient color display setting. In the same section you can change the display contrast.

To change the parameters you need, go to the system settings menu. Colors and contrast can be changed by simply moving your finger across the screen. Try placing your finger over the camera icon. Color rendering in this mode should appear soft and realistic.

Disabling Smart Bulletin

As you know, Google is promoting its Google Now feature. This is a kind of smart assistant used in smartphones and tablets from the Nexus series. The LG G3 has a similar technology called Smart Bulletin. It can be found on the leftmost screen of the desktop. Unfortunately, this function may not help everyone. It makes sense to use it in the states, but not here.

To disable this function, you need to go to settings again. Then go to "Device>Home Screen". Here, change the position of the switch next to the “Smart Newsletter” item. However, please note that after this you will not be able to use the LG Health app. But it will free up a lot of space on the main screen!

This concludes the story about the unusual functions of the LG G3. Users of this smartphone are likely to have found a lot of interesting points in the text that they did not know about. Surprisingly, these are not all useful features that are rarely used. There are other functions, the presence of which you sometimes find out completely by accident. Maybe you know about them too? Then write about them in the comments.

An LG cell phone fell into water or what to do if water gets into the phone

Recessed LG phone. What to do if you drowned or simply got wet.

Water can't hurt phone . Tell me, what am I doing on your site in this section then? Mine is broken. Because it’s not water that makes you stand up, but water in combination with a battery. As a result, electrochemical corrosion of the board occurs. In other words, the board of your gadget and all its elements begin to rust, rot, i.e. disintegrate, turns into dust.

Why don't LG cell phone manufacturers protect them from corrosion?

Well, why did you decide that? They protect and how. They cover the board with a protective layer of varnish, which is designed to protect your device.
Why then do they fail if the board is covered with a protective layer of varnish? Yes, because this varnish should not save you from swimming in the pool. The only thing that can save you from this is a diving suit. Its task is to create a protective barrier and prevent the formation of corrosion on the board if there is suddenly strong humidity. For example, a bathroom or bathhouse. And again, this barrier does not last long, which means that you should not test its strength while sitting in the steam room with friends.

The first thing to do if water gets into your phone- this is to disconnect the battery. Then immediately take it to the service center. If this is not possible, then you need to try to somehow dry the device with a hairdryer, put it on the radiator overnight, place it in a warm place for a couple of days, etc. Perhaps after this your pet will work without problems. Although, as practice shows, the lion's share of phones coming in for repair have previously been exposed to water (this is indicated by rusty spots inside, oxidation, deposits, etc.) and who knows for what real reason your gadget failed this time. In any case, it can be argued that the water that once got there played no small role
In all cases of moisture getting under the housing, the device needs to be dried and cleaned. Otherwise, partial or complete inoperability of the device may occur. Let me emphasize that it is possible, but not mandatory. But the oxidation process can take quite a long time, and it is impossible to say how the mobile phone will behave the next day or in a month. The more time has passed since moisture entered, the less likely it is to restore full functionality in the event of a breakdown.
If, after getting wet, you quickly disconnect the battery and bring it to us, then most likely you will save your pet and save your budget for repairs.

What do we do when your phone is frozen?

Disassembling the phone;
- cleaning in an ultrasonic bath;
- removal of traces of moisture;
- cleaning the mobile phone board from corrosion;
- complete drying of the device;
- phone testing.

• Replacing the body of the LG G3 D855 phone

• Replacing the phone connector LG G3 D855

  Every day we listen to music on the phone, connect the charger, connect the phone to the computer, and naturally these connectors are subject to constant wear and tear, which subsequently leads to breakdowns of the LG G3 D855 connectors.

  We can replace LG G3 D855 connectors with the following type:

  • USB connector;
  • Charging connector;
  • Audio connector.

  How to determine that your phone connector is broken:

  • The usb connector on the LG G3 D855 is broken:
    • When connecting a USB cable, the computer does not detect the LG G3 D855, or the connected device is not detected, or external signs of failure are visible - the core of the connector is broken, the outer part of the connector is broken. Also, when connecting another cable, the same problems occur.
  • The charger connector on the LG G3 D855 is broken:
    • LG G3 D855 does not charge when the charger is connected, the connector is visible as broken. You can also determine that the connector is faulty by connecting another charger. If the charging connector is externally intact, but the phone does not charge, then repair of the phone's system board will probably be necessary.
  • The audio jack on the LG G3 D855 is broken:
    • When connecting headphones there is no sound, or external damage is visible. The problem may also be in the phone settings or firmware.

  Repair of LG G3 D855 phone connectors.

  Repairing any LG G3 D855 connector involves unsoldering the broken connector from the system board and replacing it with a similar new connector.

  You should not put off repairing the LG G3 D855 connector until the connector finally fails, because... its use in semi-working condition may damage the elements located next to the connector, and as a result, it may be necessary to restore the board or replace adjacent elements.
