so this is my disappointments/opinions it may not be a bother to u so dont go by what i say.


first all is the led notification.
the led was a lot brighter on the g2 than it is on the g3. on the g3 is dim and it can be a pain to see it flashing in sunlight.

2. what happen to the back led?
so if u had the g2 u know there was a back led ring around the power button. for incoming calls or texts.
why did they remove that it was a great feature and could of been used for more.

3. vibration.
to me the vibration strength is not as strong as the g2 it seems weaker.
even on max vib its hard to hear or feel.

4. the dam colored categories in stock apps. {email, text, contacts , ect).
its pretty cool they are colored but there are some i would like to change the color of like the text app its yellow...

5. Qslide and dualwindow.
Is it just me or do they need more apps that support this feature.
Also why in qslide messaging u cant see ur messages?

6. Lg smart keyboard.
So i thought i give the lgs keyboard a shot for a week. I did not agree with it. Its slow and studdery and it just feels odd. Also its not as customizable i thought it be. If they updated it and made it better id try it again.
 
so this is my disappointments/opinions it may not be a bother to u so dont go by what i say.

lg being more customization they should of added that ability.

5. the lockscreen notifications.
i like it, it shows if u have a missed call or text. but it does not show who texted you.. you should be able to swipe or something to be able to see.
that.
again lg being more customization they should of added that ability.

6. the smart notification widget.
i like it it looks cool but what is it supposed to do exactly?
i have gotten nothing from that widget..
also i would like to be able to change the colors to make it at least match my background.. come on..

I'll agree on the colors thing. Most of the UI is this muted bluish grey color, and then all of a sudden when you go into messages... BAM - Dijon mustard yellow. It's gross.

Switched to the Verizon messaging app because of the mustard.

Ewwwe haha!....I accidently clicked on that and set it as default not knowing it was Verizon's messaging app. Got rid of that fast haha! Don't have a reason other than it said "Messaging" but my mind just thought about "VZ Navigator" and I wondered why they put their apps on these phones as I scrambled to remove the defaults for it :D

I usually use hangouts for SMS but recently started using ChompSMS cause I have needed to create pre-scripted messages I can send off quickly.

Verizon messages is actually a great sms app. Good set of features and I always get my messages promptly.
