[Q] LG G Watch corrosion - LG G Watch

Hello! Lately I have been seeing reports of corrosion on the charging pins on the bottom of the G watch. I have received mine today and am worried that it can happen to me. The question I am posing is why do you think this is happening? Do you think it is a manufacturing error that affects all units or is it a human factor (allergy to the metal - I have seen theories of this). Thanks!

Truth is, if you want the phone, Just buy it. I have W17 and it works good for me. Buy it if you like it. Leave it if you don't. Cheers.

@zakiyy
All the BATCH's mostly have issue, Although these issue's not important but you can check your phone to have perfect one.
The list of detail's that you must check is:
1. Top right and bottom left GAP
2. 4Corner of phone to check GAP
3. Front and back camera for center lens
4. and at last check LCD for dead pixel and yellowish issue
I never buy first few batches that comes to my country.
I have waited for a few weeks and I bought w20 - no issues at all...
If that lt55 will be good (probably Z3) I'll do the same thing.
I really think w25 should be nothing but good...

I have a 14W25 and everything is ok so far, including 120 FPS video capture (didn't try 4k)
The lens seems slightly off center but nothing to worry about.

How do you test for excessive heating ?
I really in all my years writing on tech forums never come across such utter nonsense as this batch crap. This paranoia was the cause of a well meaning youngster who thought he could perform some sort of cyber quality control without any of the relevant information. I thought this had all been seen as misinformation?
Every thing we purchase from the shoes on our feet will have lemons! The Z2 is a decent flag ship phone and deserves praise. The Z2 has no more bad nor good press than any other such device.
This stuff about "gaps" is also a complete nonsense. The mobile is water and dust resistant so it is very well assembled and monitored.
EVERY phone ever made that has a forum page dedicated to it will be full of these horror stories. That is why people join these forums in the first place. it will be a tiny minority that are happy with the mobile that are going to seek out a forum and write a positive review .
Go read the forum threads on any of the flag ship phones are they are all the same. When we do eventually buy a lemon it is a pain in the rear BUT those lemons are the exception to the rule for all the flag ship phones presently on the market.
Buy the Z2 or not but for goodness sake don't base your decision because you read something negative here about it.
Ryland
I have a W17 as well. All is good with it. Regardless of the week it was assembled just do a once over the phone such as checking for gaps etc..
I wouldn't put too much concern over batches, weeks, etc. Every batch is going to have the odd unit with minor flaws, such as a gap, or a dead pixel in the screen, or something of that nature. If you happen to get one, simply walk it back to your local Sony store and get it swapped for a non-defective model.

Quality Concerns

Have had my eye on the G5 for a couple of weeks now. I previously had an LG G3 that went the way of Blue Screen of Death which is making me double think LG. Has anyone had any similar problems with the G5? I see there's quite a few "Boot loop" issues that have plagued the G4.
Thanks!
you can buy it no prob... boot loops are usually software related and not hardware (in case of quality issues, you might think of hardware)
Is it true that the battery in phone body is little bit shaking and you can feel it? Do you have this experience? Is it annoying?

In my personal experience, i have had none of the defects people have reported.
Remember more people will make a post about something wrong with their phone than people who have no issues. Just how things go.
Pretty sure the vast majority of G5 owners have none or very little quality control issues to report about.

Not the case for my G5 at all. The same actually goes for all those other problems people were reporting . I think the G5 got a lot of bad press. It's still a flagship phone from a reputable manufacturer - and I suspect that with the vast majority of devices, you get exactly the kind of quality which you'd expect.

If you get a second battery and regularly change it every day, I guarantee it will get observably looser within the first few weeks to a month. It used to be so hard to pull my chin out, and then it would always be quite a resistant "snap" when pulling the battery. But, now, both pop out with ease.
I definitely feel the battery a bit looser if I'm holding just the chin with the battery in it and shake it. I don't know that I would say it's noticeable inside the phone, though.

LG G5 hollow sound when tapping the middle of the screen

Hey. Just got my new LG G5, but I've noticed something weird. Namely, when I tap the middle of my screen it sounds and feels a bit different, like either the screen was raised there or there was nothing beneath it. I'm wondering if I'm the only one experiencing it.
EDIT: The best test is to repeatedly start tapping it in the middle in quiet surroundings and then move to edges and say if you can hear and feel the difference.
UPDATE: LG's support response is that if the touchscreen works properly there is no basis for RMA.
Bump.
Is there a screen protector on it? If not definitely not normal. I'd ship that to LG asap. I am not experience this issue and haven't heard of it from others.
Side note man I feel bad for a lot of you users. I don't got any of these issues so many of yall have. LG G6 will definitely wait few months before I get it. Had a few lower-mid range LG phones. A lot of these issues seem to carry over to LG G5. Which is unacceptable for a flagship device.

No screen protector, but maybe it's because of the modular build? It makes sense that it wouldn't sound so hollow near the edges, since the phone has something underneath it there, whereas beneath the middle of the screen there's only a battery, which is removable, so it might not be just built too well. I suppose that I should ask LG themselves about it. Anyway, thanks for your comment.

You may want to consider the fact that other people viewing this thread have no such issue with their handset and have no input to give? The obvious solution would be to send it back to LG if you are unhappy with it...or..live with it?
It does not appear to be an issue with the actual functioning of the handset though..
My G5 actually makes some strange noise when you shake it. Kind of like something went loose.
But it only happens when one specific battery unit is inserted.
I didn't measure the the thickness but I assume it's related the little difference in thickness of these batteries I have.
Hope this might help.

That would make sense. They might have left some space there in case the battery is thicker, so that it wouldn't get stuck.

If I'm in quite surroundings I can clearly hear the difference. I don't notice it that much when I'm in a busy place.

That's It...I'm Done. Goodbye LG G6 First Chance I Get.

I, like many others across the web (and some non-web silent ones) have experienced spider cracking of the camera glass for no apparent reason...didn't drop the phone...nothing else in the pocket...etc.
There seems to be a quality control issue with the camera glass that LG and Tmobile refuse to accept, and are putting the responsibility on the customer to pay for. This is incredibly, enormously, and exceedingly unfair.
Between both companies blaming us, and less than smart forum posters on the internet who don't understand what quality control is (some are bad, some are good...you probably got a good one...so chill)...I am looking to jump to another flagship sometime soon. Preferably one with a wide angle camera.
Sounds like a user error.

Sorry, but I disagree. The sheer amount of complaints I've read that are very similar, coupled with the fact this has been an issue on previous LG's leads me to believe it's a little more than user error.
Thankfully I seem to have one of the good ones, but for me LG should at least be investigating the issue further rather than fully blaming the consumers.
How do you know you have a good model without this default ?

Every new phone launches with some random issues. I just don't think this is anything widespread. Time will tell but the number of complaints on this topic seem minimal. In comparison look at the Galaxy S8 and the pink tint, the iPhone randomly shutting off at 40% or the pixels camera flare.

Taking into consideration, the sheer quantity of handsets (USA Complaints) compared to other markets... How many people outside of the USA, have had genuine issues (No user carelessness) with their camera glass?
By general market sale proportion, obviously there will be more American complaints about build quality issues.. BUT.. as someone in Europe and having owned several LG handsets now.. I have never had any of the "common issues" commented on over the past few generations of LG handsets.. ?

Exactly. Good luck to OP switching phones. Hope he doesn't get a S8 with red tint or any other flagship phone that all have a list of problems you can read about online.
This is all surely stirring the pot to be sure but how do we benefit from doing so? We have no objective idea of how widespread these issues are, so hard to comment beyond our personal opinions of what exactly is happening with the case of a cracked lens. It's up to each to decide I guess. Even harder to convince LG to open up about it given their past rep with QC.
I think the camera lens having more area and being flush with the case is bad design as "pretty" as it is.
Device durability seems to have been sacrified for features/aesthetics as of late, but this is not just LG. What is the point of having a pretty phone if you need an awkward case to protect the edges of the screen?
There isn't much choice either when it comes to Android flagships. Not like there used to be...
It is possible that a flaw in the glass crystal structure causing these problem, but it seems unlikely as not that Hugh amount of people is having this problem.
I've dropped my G6 about 18 inches down onto a granite surface plate at work without any problems lol. I don't think it's widespread.
It is a widespread issue and needs to be stopped

A familiar theme that I've noticed with the complaints I've read is that they were taking photos a short while before they noticed the cracks. Could it be the flash or camera body overheating the glass? That heat combined with a little stress and pressure in a pocket could be the cause of most the problems.

Possible but very unlikely, the heat should never transfer to the camera glass in the first place. There is an empty between the glass and the camera and the flash.
I love it here, the most entertaining of the XDA forums I use.
Threads like this and the I-never-researched-before-buying-and-now-I'm-SO-pissed-there's-no-all-important-notification-LED are great to read through.
I love my V20
Just because there is a thread reporting camera glass problems with hundreds of replies doesn't equal a wide spread problem. The v20 had cases of this too I think it's likely a random issue with the quality.
Without g4 bootloop level exposure you aren't likely to get it fixed for free. It took literally over a year for LG to acknowledge the bootloop problem and that was only the g4 that was acknowledged.
The free repair on this issue was a hit and miss but reportedly LG covers this issue under the V10 and g4 past warranty.
You have to also look at it from LGs prospective, there are a select few that can't take responsibility for dropping their phone and will attempt to get fixed for free when it's their fault.
How is LG supposed to know that the camera lens magically cracked? Until there is enough reports sent in to put it on g4 bootloop level of exposure I am afraid you're unlikely to get a free replacement or repair.
I don't think the problem is false and I wouldn't blame you for being pissed but there is an unfortunate few that ruin it for the rest of us.
On that note TMobile is usually pretty good about exchanges, especially with the jump program. I was able to jump with a V10 still rooted without a problem. They're pretty lax compared to other carriers.

No one is saying that quality issues shouldn't be brought to LG's attention. I think what most people who have responded are saying is that the "I got a phone that has a problem and I read on the internet that 10 other people had this problem some I'm done with said phone forever" comments are silly. All phones have a batch or 2 that have problems. Contact LG and get a replacement or move to another phone and hope you get one without problems. I will say LG's handling of the bootloop issue was poor but hopefully they've learned.

I am not going to defend Samsung etc, however if your unit is broken, got defects, or you are not happy with something - just send it back, ask for replacement or just return it then buy new one.
It's not just his... looks like a lamination issue.
Not something you should see on a flagship display.
Rather than owe up to it Samsung is making excuses saying it's normal. Translation: there must be a lot of them with this defect...

First: If you were read article you will knew that Samsung said it is manufacturing side effect so maybe it is not so obvious to return the unit. The defect is in the same place on all reported phones... Could be hard to get one without it as guy in twitter try 2 times and both have the same issue.
Second: If you were look inside the twitter comments you will see that it is not only uk but also in usa and other regions that are affected.
Third: 23u is my primary phone, so not so easy to just return it and stay without the phone as i also use esim. And more over i can get another unit with the same defect or even they will not accept it as they mention as it is side effect of manufacturing.
Right now it is not disturbing the use of the phone, but as i know it is there it is quite not comfy...
It's really irritating that people look for this nonsense that doesn't affect the functioning of the phone one iota and then share it around and ruin everyone else's enjoyment of their devices.
I can confirm that my US Ultra has this. Never would have seen it if it wasn't pointed out.

First - I read it, if you are not happy with the product, don't use it, simple. You still have 14 days to send it back if you are not happy, vote with your wallet.
Second - And? Not sure how big % of phones got that issue, but same as above applies, if people are not happy they should send units back. Maybe then samsung would acknowledge issue.
Third - No one force you to stay without phone, if you sold etc. your previous one or sent it back for trade in, then make a complain to Samsung.
And fourth, if you read my post with understanding you would get that I do not defend them. Sending back bad/wrong/broken etc product is our right, Samsung and S23 is not the only phone on the market, if you have issues with them, than feel free to buy something else.
I was angry with oneplus few years ago and guess what, I am on samsung now.

This is nothing but people hunting for reasons to dislike the phone. It has zero effect on functionality and you have to really be looking to even see it. It's a nothingburger discovery some iPhone fanboy found and put on Twitter to cause drama.

The problem is it's not supposed to be there at all. Not on my N10+'s. On a display that's not acceptable. It's a manufacturing defect and right where it's always in your face.
Worse, pretty sure Samsung was aware of this defect but they shipped them anyway. Like a brat they do what they want then make lame bs excuses for their actions. This isn't a injection molding tab Sammy, it's a screw up.
At this point there's no telling if over time it will get worse and/or spread. I'd return it for a cash refund especially at this price point, where the defect is and Samsung's condescending attitude.
but this is only visible with a strong light source, with certain angle of light with screen off. it has no impact on usability. i have seen it in the past on other curved displays

I upgraded to s23u with EE and i got it on 13th , 512gb ,green. Everything fine,until 3 days later when i installed a Samsung screen protector on,using a flashlight i was eyeballing for dust particles using a sticker. Right bottom corner i noticed a smudge, wiped off,still there, anyway upon close look ,in certain angle using the flashlight, i noticed this crease/bubble/dent around 4mm in width and 2mm height . To me it looks like a dent inwards rather than a bubble. Checked my pixel 7pro,nothing, checked my missus s21plus(flat screen),nothing, then i remembered i have stashed a galaxy s8(still works a take faster photos than s23u though) anything like this,screen was perfect.
Don't get me wrong, only in bright light ,shining directly on the screen you can see it. The touch screen works perfectly.
I contacted EE, the tech support said it looks like delamination or sort and could spread in time, right ,i said i do like the phone and i would like an exchange. EE delivered next day the replacement, as you guessed, same issue, this time half in size,almost not visible, but because i knew where and how to look ,i spotted it right away. Also very fine crease on the right,but almost not visible(unless you know what to look for).
Can i live with this ,yes i can,do i want to take a risk,thinking that potentially, ot could spread over thetime,hmm ,i don't. Opened a second return.
For ppl who said that this is not a big deal,remember, th ise damn phone is expensive and it should be perfect,like my previous s22ultra amd my 5 years old S8
I attached some photos 1,the first phone and 2
glad i am not that inquisitive otherwise i would still use nokia 3110
My S23 Ultra has it. Then I just realized after a year of using my S22 Ultra that this is the case as well... Guess it doesn't really matter.

I think the issue is that most people wouldn't even notice if someone didn't point it out to them in special lighting. I think you should be able to discuss and point out anything you deem flawed. But on the other end you should also expect pushback from people who think you are just being spoiled when you have the option to return it. I have noticed it on my Galaxy S23 Ultra US version but only by looking at it in lighting. I think the device is fantastic and even with that little flaw I will keep my device since I can't really notice it since I have a case on it.

Also very fine crease on the right,but almost not visible(unless you know what to look for).
Can i live with this ,yes i can,do i want to take a risk,thinking that potentially, ot could spread over thetime,hmm ,i don't. Opened a second return.
For ppl who said that this is not a big deal,remember, th ise damn phone is expensive and it should be perfect,like my previous s22ultra amd my 5 years old S8
I attached some photos 1,the first phone and 2

It's probably present on certain batches; some will have it, others not. A major QC screw up. If the defect was minor you wouldn't be able to see it at all.
This is a defect that could effect the survivability of the glass. Glass is subject to some of the laws of hydrodynamics. This deformity causes new stress points. It may not crack there but in another area of the display, hydrodynamics. Glass is a peculiar substance with bizarre properties. Of course if it breaks Samsung will say it's your fault for dropping it.
DON'T SAY YOU WEREN'T WARNED
