[piff]

Im looking for a good phone with batter life and it doesnt over heat.

I was looking at the lg g3, bought it on amazon then cancled the order once I found out about the overheating issues.

Im looking at the samsung galexy s5 it looks nice, but I heard it overheats to.

The Lenovo K50-T5 could be a good choice.

Battery is good and replaceable.

Screen is Full HD and very bright.

looks nice but I cant find it on amazon, I have a 100 dollar credit at amazon and wanted to get it there...

any other recommendations?

You might look at the Moto G. They can be found on Amazon for ~$100.00. Keep in mind that ANY $100 phone won't be great, but it might be good enough.

For example, I didn't see any overheating issues with the Moto G but there were numerous bad reviews about the GPS radio. That surprised me because usually Motorola phones have excellent radios in them.

Samsung Galaxy S2. Great phone but old. I regret selling mine.

What carrier do you have?

Personally I think every phone overheats... Not like it's built with fans to cool them down... Once ur a heavy user it's bound to over heat

well my old lg f3, (which I went through a couple because they were good phones) could not let the screen brightness past a certain level on hot days.

I was given a samsung galexy core prime GSM version when my LG F3 died. It lets me turn the brightness all the way up, and it doesnt over heat. sadly i dropped it and cracked the screen. its a good phone but for $100 to $150 I could find something better.

when you mean GPS radio you mean its one of those phones that gps doesnt work when you really need it to? thats very important as I got lost one time and it was a nightmare trying to find my way when the GPS couldnt lock signal

I care about

1. Battery life
2. a phone I can use with one hand (not a huge phone)
3. a phone that doesnt have over heating problems where I cant turn the display off

I really dont need a phone that has a 4k display or high hd display it kills battery life, just something that works good.

im looking at the moto g 4th gen but amazon says they have 2 versions one with lock screen offers and adds and one without

the one without is more money. are these phones with bloatware on them or something? I dont like the sound off locked screens with adds

I'd avoid the one with ads. That's incredibly annoying and isn't worth the few dollars you save at purchase time.

I really can't say how bad it is. The worst GPS phone I've ever had was a Samsung, but they've improved over the years. Every Motorola phone I've ever owned has never had a problem. I was just echoing what I read in the reviews of the G (4th edition) on Amazon.

A quick search for Moto G 4th gen GPS issues didn't bring up much so It was either an isolated problem or users didn't have the phones setup properly. (Or there was a batch of defective units).

Here's a review for you.
