Hey guys,
I basically bought the SBH-80 for about £40 and I'm experiencing some erratic behavior.
Sometimes if I leave the phone on my desk I can walk to the other side of the house before audio starts distorting i.e. the range is good. But sometimes the range is like 20cm. I kind find any pattern which would explain this discrepancy. The range is awful about 95% of the time.
The problem is I cycle to work, the phone works fine when I'm setting it up. It connects quickly and music starts playing. As soon as I put it into my pockets the music distorts, snap, crackle, pops and is basically unusable.
I've probably missed out lots of vital information but this is the jist of the issue. Can anyone recommend me trying anything?
note: It's not the headunit, I've tested it with an iPhone 5S and an iPhone 5 and it functions perfectly.

bad news bro. that happened to my sbh80 too. bought it for $100 last year. either your bluetooth antenna(left earpiece cable) snapped or you have damaged bluetooth module. mine had that problem 3 months after buying it. kept it in storage for months i forgot i ever bought it. then i saw it again while i was cleaning up with 90% battery. tried it and now it works well. i don't know what happened as i sold it the next day for $65.

Brilliant lol It lasted ONE cycle trip, before it started distorting. Thankfully the eBay seller said I can return it. It's such a shame... I really like the design. Can you recommend any other bluetooth headsets?

I'd say jaybird bluebuds since you cycle to work. They sound really good too.
I've got a Plantronics Voyager Legend. Within the same room (~20ft) it seems ok, but if it has to go through a wall (~30ft), it starts to break up. I once tried going up one floor and on the opposite side of the house (maybe 50ft at most) and it was really bad.
I figured that bluetooth in general wasn't that great.
I've never had an issue with the phone on me though.
I have more issues with my bluetooth mouse connected to my laptop

Ooft they are very expensive, not sure if I can endure such a hit on my bank account . I appreciate good audio quality. At home I use Grado SR225i's with Little Dot 1+ amp and I love it... Not tried a headphone more than I like that combination. But when it comes to earphones I don't really care about quality because I know I won't get anything close to the grado, the Sony earphones that came with my Z1 Compact are more than good enough but, of course, it's not wireless.

I've read a few threads were the Z5 was having trouble connecting to bluetooth in people's cars etc but I think my issue is with the headset because it doesn't actually work with any other phone either
I have a z1 compact, and I've always had bt issues with it across devices. I have a z5 compact arriving tomorrow, reading this isn't inspiring.
I use a sbh52, and it never quite worked right with sony, but I think that was mostly due to the data channel stuff and how it interacted with the app for email alerts and other socket stuff that uses raw serial protocols to communicate. I've at times had 4-5 different serial devices attached to the phone, and none of them are happy when doing so. The radio seems to become selective about who is actually working at a time, but the upstream consumers at the bluez socket layer seem unaware stuff isn't working.
I got a non-sony phone, a sharp aquos, and using it with my sbh52 without any sony software, and only that - it rocks actually, range and all. I felt a little bit bad I used to talk so much crap about it.
My biggest telltale of bluetooth serial dysfunction with my z1c was my google glass, which works entirely as both a persistent tethered device via bt, and a headset device. Data for glass via bt also refused to work if I disabled the headset kindly, so in other words bluetooth dysfunction ruined usability when mobile. Now I tether my glass to my tablet data that does no other bt, and seems to work pretty dandy.
It seems more of a bluetooth stack issue as a whole, either between google and/or firmware vendors, and if my z5 gives me issues too, I'll just need to find a more "dumb" headset.
---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------
I started watching catlog (log reader) when using my glass and headset troubleshooting, and would suggest doing so too.
I would always see "innocuous" looking messages about the bt, but nothing seemed to ever really "break". I'd see disconnects and reconnects, when one device or the other wouldn't/couldn't connect, seemed at the radio level though as the headset would just give up trying to connect.
Happened the same to me too. Xperia z5c+sbh80. The audio is kinda lagging whenever I put in my pocket. But, I have read somewhere in xda post that somebody claimed it might related with stamina mode configuration (solution given: put audio setting into exception list) and it might related to activity on the fingerprint scanner as well (really? solution given: try to avoid any contact on the fingerprint scanner because z5c try to initiate vibration mode while the audio is still playing). I have try both solutions, and yeah, there are little bit less lagging activity.
I'm using Sony SBH-80 as well, and it works perfect. I'm listening about 2-3h music/day, loads of calls through SBH80, and it works fine. Indeed, sometimes it disconnects automatically (usually when I'm using facebook call and I receive an email or something like that). On my S6 dual sim didn't happened that, but I can live with that. Sorry guys to hear that you have issues with that, on my side it's fine.
Late reply guys sorry.

So does the Z5 compact work with your headset then? They seem to release cool devices, update to a later version of android, it ends up not working properly and they pretty much just forget about it.

Yes! My SBH52 was absolute crap with my z1c (random disconnects, sound levels, just never connecting), with a Sony original rom, Cyanogen10-11, any kernel/rom I tried. With my z5c, my SBH52 works dandy, even with the sony app installed for the data link, as well as my SBH60's that came with the z5c as a Clove special. Need to resurrect my jawbone, everyone hated it I spoke to prior, now I'm curious about it too.
Oddly, my friend just upgraded too, didn't want to spend the extra for a z5c, so got a used z3c instead, and has a lot of issues with his bluetooth as well. Mine was more disconnections, devices fighting over connections, but his seems to be just simple horrible quality, like noise entering in when used, so not sure if it's bad software or bad phy bt chip or a bunk build.prop on it. Sound always required a lot of tweaking on my z1c, it was useless without root and hacking to fix the crap sony rom build or a *good* 3rd party rom, so maybe it as well.
Range-wise, I've used the SBH52's with my phone upstairs on my desk, and walking downstairs about 30 feet away and through a hall/wall. The SBH60 has much less range I've found, 20 feet away and down the hall same level codec sound comes unglued.

I don't ever use stamina modes... My battery life is/was always crap on my z1c (~6-8hr), as I collect a bunch of push imap accounts with aquamail, multiple gmail accounts, lots of system level apps, so it's almost expected my battery life to be nil. I've been a bit more pleasantly surprised with the z5c with most everything from my z1c loaded (~10-15hr), the battery life is still better, but the z1c was also ~3yr old with original battery.

They *did* have the whole headphone connection issue on the z3c, really don't know how much of those sorts of things come down to maybe bad connectors internally. Doesn't seem to matter if you're apple or sony, us or china, sh*t happens.
My only impetus for upgrade was I noticed I had some discoloration on my z1c lcd, and my phone now had a noticeable curve in the middle (think lg flex) after apparently sitting on it the wrong way, so replacing it before it just died was key. So far I'm happier with the z5c. as thus far "everything works", including sound levels that were always an issue with the z1c too (bad Sony), and especially bluetooth function. The fingerprint reader unlock convenience is awesome, and I'm looking forward to trying payments with it. I came across the z5 drm restore now, so it's rooting time, and it's going to get even better once I can remove nauseating ads with an adblock means, and using xprivacy again since since disables app privacy (gee, thanks big brother).

I just received my Z3TC . Has anyone experienced any issues with the tablet? Usually the first batch that comes out has bugs so I wanted to know if anyone has noticed anything wrong with their tablet.
UPDATE:
Just noticed this. I tried plugging in some earbuds. I own the MDR-EX300LP which came with the Sony Walkman Z i bought 2 years ago. (The battery died out after 2 years). Well it seems that the Z3TC does not recognize the earbuds.. I tried some headphones and they are not recognized either. So I plug in the MDR-EX300LP earbuds into my friend's Galaxy S3 and they are recognized immediately. I wonder what is wrong maybe it is something obvious?
Have you? The only issue I have noticed is it is not available in Canada with no ETA and price point! Sony has been ever so helpful in ignoring requests for this info, but has now stated "some time in November".
Also, be wary of unlocking your bootloader as Sony might not fully disclose what may not work - they did that for the Z3 compact and now early unlockers are faced with a lower quality camera, in addition to the known software not working.

Haha that is an issue. I was lucky in receiving the tablet so quick. Others that preordered before me still haven't received their tablet. What I was worried about was of known problems with the tablet. After 30 days I'm stuck with it so maybe I will have no problems with my Z3TC. Hope you can order one soon I've barely had time to use it but it is really good looking. Here in the U.S they only have the 32GB White Wifi only version. No LTE option or 16 GB option. Also no black color option.
Got mine. I've been looking for an issue but none... Loving it. Can't wait for the lollipop update

Let's talk about issue(?). I've found, that when i browse/see other sources of white background on my Z3TC 32gb Wi-Fi Only, something distrubs my eyes, like some RGB-colored thing. If i try to position the tablet with white background at some angle to my eyes, i'm starting to see some rainbow-like effect on screen(one, two), its easy to see here. Then, i've powered off my Z3TC, and THIS is what i've seen in REFLECTION of my PC monitor on the Z3TCs powered-off screen. Is this same for you guys? Sry, for bad english, its 3am in Russia, and o'm not that good at it even when i'm not that tired.

That does not look normal. I did the test with the white background and it does not look like that on mine. I might be wrong but your tablet might have a defective screen?
Same issue here with my Z3TC 16gb wifi black. It is the only problem with the tablet but i find it rather disturbing when reading on white background. Probably will exchange or return. I have tried your test with turned off screen and a reflection from the monitor, same rainbow effect. I repeated the test using my galaxy s4 mini and i saw similar but much less visible pattern of red-green/yellow stripes. I think it got something to do with anti-reflective coating or maybe some polarization of the glass?

My 5 day old Z3 tablet just died after using in the bath, it wasn't submerged at any time just little bit of water on it from my hand. Used it for about an hour after when it said shutting down due to heat. Thought it was odd as it didn't feel hot then I noticed both camera lense is steamed up
Left it for a while and tried to turn it back on but it's dead
All doors securely closed and no signs of wet around the seals when I just opened them to check, had a Z1 for a year now and even had that under water in the sea with no issues. Very unhappy.

After that dodgy screen it was totally dead, just black screen no lights no reaction to power button or reset.
Stuck it on the radiator for an hour with port covers open and eventually it started showing the charge light but when I pressed the power key it showed zero% charge. Did volume and power key reset and then it showed 63% charge and started up again. Seems fine at the minuet but already got replacement coming from O2 as its less than 14 days and still in cooling off period so will swap it anyway. Dont think ill be using it in the bath again pretty poor really as I literally only got few drops on screen so it must have got in round the screen somewhere or the speaker slot.
Can everyone do the dead pixel test and see if you get this rainbow effect when titling the screen. I did and have it. Just like someone mentioned in a few posts above
I haven't any issues jet but one concern. The phone signal ? bars some time it goes down to none almost never full but it works for Internet and calls so I don't
I've also found that 3rd party earbuds create a problem with it. I use v-moda earbuds (which have worked fine on iPads/iPhones/Galaxy phones (S2/Note2)) is giving me problems on this tablet compact. But what's even more interesting, is that it only happens when the tablet is experiencing vibration. E.g. Riding the bus. I was on the bus, and it keeps defaulting to a screen called, "Smart Connect." It always keeps jumping to the headset portion within that app with every vibration of the bus. It is very frustrating! Anyone know why or how to turn that off from happening? Give it a try, plug it in with 3rd party headphones, and start rattling the tablet compact as if your on a bus. Please let me know. Many thanks.

I don't own a tablet yet, that's why I'm asking, that's important for me.
As Z1 owner I don't want to have another device with such issues. And talking about Z1 - that's model-related problem affecting every device including Z1 and Z1C (dunno about Z2 and Z3), not a couple of faulty phones.
Before submerging your Z3 check it is air tight (and thus water tight) see here for how to test using the built in pressure sensor. Close ports properly, Press the screen gently in a couple of locations pressure should rise by 6-7 millibars. Do the same test with a port cover open, pressure will not change when you press screen. I have a Z3 phone service options are near identical. NB: no idea how to do this on non LTE version... Perhaps sideload the phone apk? http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/guide-test-waterproofing-water-t2908333
Hi, just got the 32gb version, and noticed the screen has a slightly mpre yalloish hue on the bottom (the side opposite to the sony logo. A bbit disturbing...
Been having a weird issue.. Wifi is turned off when screen is off. I made sure I clicked Wifi is always on in wifi setting. I made sure i unclicked turning wifi off in stamina mode. Seems like a weird bug.
I have tried using 2 sets and they have about the exact same reception quality

I use these at work with my phone in my pocket. I have tried front pockets and back. I don't know if the sensor is too dark or its too tight in there (pants/shorts are not tight) or what. If the phone is out of my pocket it works fine 98% of the time. Just today i had it being choppy even when the phone was in my hand. I have also tried using it without the small, slim silicone phone case but with the same results.
I haven't seen much online with the same issues and i don't want to return this phone to get yet another ****ty phone or refurbished one.
Anyone have any ideas?
nobody has had this issue?
I have this issue its a royal pain. I assumed its because the battery is dying but that is not the case. I got so annoyed I had to use ancient methods and plug in a wire between both devices . felt so weird but did the job .
Same problem here
I was having the same problem with my LG Tones Ultras, I was still within my 14 day return with tmobile so i they swapped it and problem is gone. I suggest you get a hold of warranty since still within a year and see if they will sent you a device. Hope this helps. good luck.
thought about it but i dont really want a refurbed one
To add to my earlier post about this issue i simply rebooted my phone just to try and that seems to have resolved the problem. I thought of it since i never have any reason to turn off my device .

Typically when I have BT issues like cut outs and random pop/clicks while listening to audio a reboot is what is needed. Not sure why that solves the problem but when it gets bad that is my only solution and it usually works 100% of the time.
Yes, I've experienced this with my LG HBS-760 headset (which, by the way, worked perfectly with the G4). A reboot typically solves the problem, but only temporarily. I'm very unhappy with this phone, for that reason and also the horrible battery life and the gimmicky/mostly useless second screen. I wish I had kept my G4.
Has anyone has problem when listening to music using the socket built into the main unit, sometimes whiles listening to music, the sounds seem to move to the left with the left side being louder, not sure if it's the socket or the some problem with the sound chip, but moving the plug of the headset is not the cause of the problem, but you need to pull the plug out and insert back in to get the sound normal.
sometimes just pluging the headphones in also cause the problem.
Yessss! I thought it was my headphones!!!
I have had the exact issue with my G5 also! Exactly as you described it, I had to unplug and replug the headset to get it to go away. I was using Skull Candy Smokin' Buds....you? I actually went out and bought the LG Tone Pro bluetooth headset instead.

I have a few IEM listed in my sig that I use, all expensive ones, so i don't think i will use a BT IEM to replace them, also cable IEM produce better sound for Hi Res sound, I have also found out that you can skip to the next few tracks/files and go back it will go back to normal, but in all case we shouldn't have to do anything to cover up the problem, I think it's a software problem, but my G5 is going back today and i'm getting a new one through a instore 14 day exchange policies.

my first had scratches on the silver line on the case, second had a white burn mark in the screen, and can be seen with all colors, this is my third one, not totally perfect, but I have the advantage of checking the unit in store for problems including dead and bright pixels, but the sound problem was only noticed a few days ago and I thought it was my IEM, but it happened a few times, I should have my B&O unit soon, but this problem should happen whether its hardware or software wise.
I just had an issue with the FM Radio - it kept saying headphones not plugged in! I pull them out plug them back in, and it was OK again! I am using my G4 headphones too so even the same make!! I hope I don't need to return it GRRRR
@jreed3786
I got a replacment phone yesterday, at first I though it ok on this unit, but the problem is there and it's on they same song file, therefore I think the DAC actually can detect this problem that may be it related to the actual file, could be a bad conversion causing the phone to perform like this.
that being said, I have a DSD file that starts to buzz when it reached the end of the song, it happens on the V10 and now the G5, and the time length on the file shows like -9206:-30, whiles played on other units it's ok.
You guys didn't push it in all the way. G5 for some reason has a lot of resistance on the port. I had same experience until I noticed the gap and decided to give it little more force. It clicks in hard and didn't have any issue after that

I know how to plug the headphone plug in, it's not that issue, it's more like a compatibility issue, I have comfirmed this myself numerous time.
Headphone jack issue and more
So I've also suffered from the issue with my headphones plugged in. My left channel is quiet and my right is loud. On one occasion the left channel crackled and completely died. Unplugging and plugging back in my headphones causes the phone software to correct itself. This happens at least every other day. Then, my phone became sluggish a couple days ago and started to freeze and suffer random restarts until last night when it froze and entered a bootloop on the startup screen. I pulled the battery and let it sit for a while and plugged it back in and it entered the OS but was sluggish. This morning I attempted to use messenger and it froze again and entered another bootloop and then died. I took it back to T-Mobile and I've only had it 18 days. They took it back under their 20 grace period and I now have my second G5. This same issue was prevalent in the G4 and LG has recognized that issue. I hope I'm not in for another letdown on this second phone. I just divorced Motorola... Where to next?

that's ok, i didn't mean't for that either, but may be it stood out too much, I apologize for that, the actual issue is compatibility with the music file and the DAC, sometimes the dac can get really sensitive and pickup minor errors in the files to cause these problems, previously the few files that had the problem has been removed from the phone, no problem since.

So I've also suffered from the issue with my headphones plugged in. My left channel is quiet and my right is loud. On one occasion the left channel crackled and completely died. Unplugging and plugging back in my headphones causes the phone software to correct itself. This happens at least every other day. Then, my phone became sluggish a couple days ago and started to freeze and suffer random restarts until last night when it froze and entered a bootloop on the startup screen. I pulled the battery and let it sit for a while and plugged it back in and it entered the OS but was sluggish. This morning I attempted to use messenger and it froze again and entered another bootloop and then died. I took it back to T-Mobile and I've only had it 18 days. They took it back under their 20 grace period and I now have my second G5. This same issue was prevalent in the G4 and LG has recognized that issue. I hope I'm not in for another letdown on this second phone. I just divorced Motorola... Where to next?

I think your problem is a different one altogether, so is the second unit ok.

So the audio issue I was having is the same as the other posters on this forum. One channel with a low level and the other with a normal level and then having to unplug the audio cable to reset it. However, the ultimate failure of the phone is not. I was sharing with everyone what happened to mine and perhaps I should have started a new thread with that issue alone? I haven't had my second phone for even 24 hours yest so only time will tell and I will post and findings related to the audio here. I use my headphones during the work week so that is when I will know for sure.

Hope you get a good unit, I've been through like 9 units, thats includes instore checking and two units I took home, the second unit I have now without any problem.
all sorts of problem, not just the sound.

Hmm. Very interesting. Thanks for the info. I did see many complaints with DAC on G5.

Exact same thing happening to me, will pan most of the sound over to one side making one ear quite loud and the other quiet. I find if I pause, switch to another app, than back to whatever music app I was using it usually resolves the issue. Hoping the B&O module helps but doubtful considering this seems software related. I'll probably just deal with it this way.
I have the Same issue via aux. Restarting Poweramp mostly helps

I bought it yesterday
Headphone jack is very very loose. I tried to different earphones.whenever i touch headphone jack headphone gets disconnected. Any one with this issue
Only problem with mic enabled headphones
Same problem though my normal headphones work fine. When i use my headphones with a mic it only plays the right channel. I have not always had this problem but seems to be lasting a lot longer today. Normally fixed itself in 30 seconds but has yet to. I tried restarting phone with headphones in, then again with them unplugged. Havent found a solution. Does the B&O module work?
Picked up my AT&T G5 on April 23rd. Thought it was pretty darn good at the time, but after using it for a week there are just to many issues with it. Most of them seem to be common here on the forum, so I thought I would run down my list.
1. Dropping Network. I have found that about 2-3 times a day while the signal bars are showing full signal that there is n 4g or 1x icon. during this time I have no connectivity. cannot call, Email, text, surf the web, nothing. this tends to last for anywhere from a few seconds to last night it was over 40 mins. If I reboot the phone that seems to reestablish the network connection, but this is a huge issue to me. I need a reliable phone for work.
2. Dropping GPS. I am a guy that is used for issues at multiple work sites and facilities. As such I tend to use my GPS quite often. last week luckily I was at one static facility so I didnt need to rely on my GPS, but I ran it anyway as I had seen a number of people reporting issues with the G5 retaining GPS lock. about every 15-30 mins my phone would drop the GPS signal. it would take anywhere from a few seconds to 10 mins to reestablish. This is on a known route that i have never had any sort of GPS issues with any phones before.
3. Camera. I had the S4, S5, and then the S6 Edge. they all had pretty good cameras. Low light worked really well. the camera on the G5 does not compare. I thought I could live with it, but coupled with the other issues... Yea, its a problem for me. i like the wide angle camera, but the normal camera leaves a lot to be desired especially in low light situations.
4. Bluetooth. In my car i stream Pandora quite a bit. at least once a day i have to turn bluetooth back on as it will shut itself off in the middle of my commute. Again,not a deal breaker in and of itself, but with everything else...
5. Alarm Clock reliability. This is a strange one... the stock alarm clock tends to not go off for me. the app I normally download and use just plain didnt work with the G5. in one week the alarm has completely failed to go off 4 different days. I have checked all the settings, everything is right, nothing is killing the alarm clock app during the night, but in the morning it just wont go off. I have set the alarm and watched it waiting for it to go off for testing, and half the time when it does go off it is not audible. just the screen lights up. then if I leave everything set as it was and bump the time a couple mins so that it will go off again, the next time I will get audio. sometimes. its inconsistent, but the majority of the time it does not work properly.
6. Screen Quality. Ok, this one is really an issue with me. im jaded. I admit this. Coming from the AmoLED's on the Galaxy series looking at the G5's screen colors seem washed out. Not as sharp and bright. I know the Sammy phones over-saturate the colors, but I guess Im just used to them and because of that this screen Im just not happy with.
7. Always on display. Or what ever it is... the clock that is displayed on the screen when you turn off the screen and lock the phone. On the S6 edge I had only the clock numerals and such was lit. the rest of the screen remained off and black. With the G5 screen even though the screen looks like its off and black in a dark room you can tell the entire screen is on. it lights up my room at night. not a lot, but just enough to bug me. Again, not a deal breaker in and of itself, but with everything else....
8. Sound. streaming music via BT is fine, well as long as the BT remains on... using a pair of wired headphones the audio quality just isnt there. Playing the same track on my G5, my old GS6 Edge and my wifes S7 there is a definite sound quality loss with the G5. I have a set of Sennheiser studio headphones and I could tell ever time my wife plugged them into the G5. I was looking forward to the HIFI module, but well with all the rest here...
So this morning I went back to my AT&T store to return this phone since I was still within my 15 day period. Got there 20 mins before it opened and waited with 4 other people. when i got inside and all checked in to the que for help, the lady kinda chuckled. apparently the other 4 people were there to do the same thing, exchange the G5 for a different device.
I really wanted to like this phone. I really tried. One or two of the issues i could have lived with, but when they are all present... this does NOT seem like a flagship phone to me. seems more like a swing and a miss.
I don't have a G5, so my answer is only based on reviews and other users tests:
1) Here in italy all the reviewers claimed the G5 to have the beste signal in both mobile and wifi network compared to S7 Edge, P9 and HTC 10, so maybe your model was defective?
2) Nothing to say as it seems that other users suffered of this problem, i found nothing about GPS problems in reviews though.
3) G5 has the best camera in normal condition, in low light there is no competition because S7 obviously do a lot better.
4) Same as point 2, no problem in reviews, but some users here in xda have the same problem.
5) It's a third party app? Really, does it work on other devices with Marshmallow or with the Snapdragon 820? The stock app work? Other third party apps work?
6) Yep, that's it. But keep in mind that Amoled is anyway the best display.
7) AOD is totally wrong on both G5 and S7, in the first because in order to drain less battery the display backlight is very low, and in the second, and in my opinion is the more stupid, because it's useless, you can (for the moment) see only stock app notification, clock and date (maybe a very few other things)
8) The bluetooth issue is the same that you reported in point 4, and the story is again the same, some users reported it, but reviewers and other users are surprised for the good sound.
Just try to answer to some problems, i've no intention to argument
I have the poor signal and drops. I was blaming it on my carrier. I may take this back and get a different brand all together.
Hey Kill, In regards to #5, the stock app wasnt working reliably so I tried a app store app. that one wasnt reliable either. I always try to use the stock built in first.
In regards to #8 I was talking about the wired headphones via the headphone jack. BT audio sounded good, but the quality loss was with the wired headphones.

For the #5 strange, never heard something like this.
For the #8 i saw that, it's the same as other problems, some users have them, other not, and the reviewers never said nothing. Maybe there was a problem with the the jack itself, in my opinion the real issue with this phone is that you have high chances to get a faulty one, moreover in us where it was released first. In my country I'm still waiting for users feedback
I love my lg g5. I get bored of phones and switch up so regularly but still absolutely loving it. I mainly got it for the camera, and I'm more impressed than I was with my beloved lg g4. In manual mode I still believe it's better than the s7 (I tested then both over the course of a week).
That data drop is interesting though. Happens to me too, but can't figure out if it might be something to do with whether you turn wi-fi on or off. Seems linked, as happens to me at work.
I have the ATT one too. Got it the day before launch... Screen i think comes second to the S7 TBh, but is still pretty damn good... Camera I find is sick, better than the competition in my opinion. I haven't had any issues with data or signal loss whatsoever, however I can confirm when using GPS the signal will either drop, or it won't lock on at all until I just about hold it to the top of my front windshield!!! The sound I find is fine, but im no audio engineer either. I use jaybird X2 BT ear buds and I think they sound fantastic with no Bluetooth signal loss ever... Alarm issue is a new one to me.. No problems here and I constantly have to change the time due to our ridiculous work schedule.
One can definitely understand why you are bringing yours back. Hope you enjoy your next device.

Humm, I haven't had any such issues....
Hope you enjoy your new device.
As a comparison, my data, gps, Bluetooth and such all work fine. When using an auxiliary cable in my car I had that hissing sound, but using the alternate 3.5mm port on the back of my radio fixed the issue.
The only part of the phone that could use some fine tuning is the strength of the paint or whatever it's calledy. The paint got a little rough or irritated in a couple spots from removing a tpu case less than ten times. I also noticed a little chip in the coating near the charging port. I'm very careful with my phones. My G2 has less blemishes at this point and I've had that thing forever. I'll be curious to see how it will hold up over the next year, at the least.
Who knows, my paint problem could be a minority issue just as others with GPS and data issues. In my case, instead of getting a new device that could possibly have more than superficial defects. I'll keep the one with the funky paint.
As we all know, there's lots to love about this phone. I'm sure as hell keeping mine.
All the problems I hear about seem to be non existant on the unbranded variants or variants for carriers outside the US...
Also AT&T H820 seems to have the most issues.
Had this phone for a week now with no issues.I've only read one bad report of a variant outside the US...
Not saying LG is not at fault but this what happens when carriers mess with the firmware...doesn't explain quality issues but most of it seems to be with AT&T
My main issue is the ambient light sensor causing the image to flicker in low light when using the FFC, and the obvious auto brightness issue. This needs to get fixed ASAP by LG.
Everything else is working just fine for me. Battery life is meh, but as others have mentioned the stand by time is amazing feels similar to the performance of an iPhone in terms of battery life. Bluetooth works fine as well.
I do not have any of these issues. So have to say I disagree with this post completely.
1 Carrier issues, ie network is your mobile provider. Mine drops never. 4G 2 to 3 bars most of the time.
2. GPS on mine is perfect, many journeys well over half an hour, no issues at all.
3. The camera beats out any other phone I've used low light and craps over the Galaxy S's Barring the 7. (You need to use manual or a steady hand but still stands)
4. BT issues is the devices you are connecting to.
5. Alarm clock always goes off for me.. maybe you're turning it off in your sleep, or some settings you've altered or app you've downloaded
6. S6 and 7 screens are better, no doubt, except in sunlight where the S6 is not really useable but G5 is absolutely perfect in sun. As bright as if you're indoors.
7. Always on display drains too much battery so I turn it off... I like my 6.5 hours screen on time at 75% brightness.
8. Sound quality trounces my old S6 and Xperia Z5, can't say much else about this. It's louder and clearer and bassier.
Have to say i'm happy with this phone and thanks to the wide angle lens.. I might just end up keeping it.
UK H850 Stock Rom had for 4 weeks now.
1. Dropping Network. -- This has been better than my old Z2. In fact some "dead spots" that my friends phone suffer from I find my phone still has 2 bars
2. Dropping GPS. -- Used the LG fitness tracker the other day and it was really accurate to the paths I walked when check on google maps. CHecking some photos on google and they are accurate to 2 metres.
3. Camera. -- Low light has not been an issue for me, but if it were I'd switch to the manual mode. Done some amazing sunsets thanks to the manual mode
4. Bluetooth. -- Only used with headphones but never had an issue. Streamed for couple of hours to a portable speaker at a bbq this weekend and was faultless.
5. Alarm Clock reliability.-- Not used that feature. Have used the timer function for cooking and that works a treat, very loud as well
6. Screen Quality.-- I thought my Xperia Z2 screen was good, the G5 is blinding when you set brightness up. It's amazing for outdoor use in sun light. I have seen the S6 screen, colours look freakish and don't match when on a TV or monitor
7. Always on display. -- I have stopped turning my phone on thanks to this and the battery usage is insane, it barely uses it. Also I have noticed it changes brightness based on on light sensor. Plus if I want it off I cover the proximity sensor or flip it.
8. using a pair of wired headphones the audio quality just isnt there. -- Yet this has a 24bit DAC, better than the S7 (dependent on processor) and most other flagships. The basic headphones with it are crap but they are cheap. But my sony nc ones sound amazing with it.
I read a lot of bad things about quality whee this launched but then I reminded myself, people only tend to have time to complain about things and no praise. I know I'm guilty of that. In fact I'll layout my one complaint about the G5, the UI. It's not as "clever" or usable as what I'm used to with the Xperia. But I can change that with 3rd party software and root.
Maybe you have a bad one, or may as someone else pointed out the issue is the carriers forcing changes on base model. All those variants could be affecting the quality control.
I have the H860N dual sim version, not having any problems as mentioned above apart from the alarm part.
I set my alarm on at 3pm and 4pm with snooze in case I over slept, but some how the alarm goes off at around 9:20pm and also the set alarm times, not sure if it's related to other features.
I'm still testing it now.
I just wanted to chime in here.
I have the LG G5 on Verizon and my signal is horrid. I lose LTE coverage all the time. This is NOT the network as I also carry a LG G4 with me that is also on Verizon and it always has a LTE connection and a strong signal at the time that the G5 drops. I am getting Verizon to replace the device, hopefully this resolves the issue.
They had me use the Repair tool on my PC along with multiple factory resets. They event went as far as to blame the Google Application updates that were from the Play store, aka looking for a cop out.
The only issue that I've had with my G5 has been with the AT&T LTE signal. Sometimes I find the phone struggling to stay on LTE for a minute or two. This is not a big problem for me but it is sometimes annoying when I try to watch a video or something. I live in the Washington DC area and LTE service is pretty strong over most of the area, so it's not a carrier issue. Again it's not a big deal and most of the time I don't notice it.
Regarding the camera, it's one of the best smartphone cameras I've seen yet, I've taken some pretty amazing shots and all of them have been in full auto mode.
If your device is having that many issues, you should probably return it.
You are right

I wonder why AT&T and other U.S. carriers like to put their own software on top of LG factory image. Unbranded LG G5 works great!
Maybe you are right, Carriers 's bloatware may cause those issues.
---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------
Go hidden menu, Run a ALL-AUTO-TEST, you can test the LTE NETWORK issues, If in test mode, the LTE never drops. It is not the hardware issue. According to my experience, Most of issues are caused by Carrier firmware.
I have this same issue with the alarm clock. sometimes it works my early morning alarm rarely goes off.
I have tried adding the alarm clock app to the battery optimization exception list and that hasn't helped.
Third party apps on the optimization list or off still unreliable.
anyone find a solution for this? i may try a factory reset this weekend.
other apps like KIK seem to have the same problem like they just stop functioning when the screen is off. I get a flood of messages when i unlock the screen.
could it have something to do with device encryption? i don't think my phone always had these problems and that;s the only big change i can think of that i made.
I haven't had a single one of the listed issues on my Verizon phone other than the pretty bad low light camera, which does bum me out because it was weirdly a lot better on my G4? Daylight photos are absolutely beautiful.
I also use my alarm every night with no issues.
The update my phone downloaded last Friday seems to have fixed my issues with the alarm clock.
Sent from my LGLS992 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Hello Guys,
i am an owner of a Mate 20 Pro for about 2 weeks now and i am quite pleased with the device , specially battery and charging is like nothing i have ever seen on android.
my only problem with the device is Bluetooth calling quality. I used to have a galaxy S7 and was using it with my car android unit (a PX3 from seicane) and my AM61(huawei sports buds) without issues , once i changed to mate 20 pro i started getting complains from the people i called that they were not hearing me very well , most of the times i have to repeat my self quite a lot for someone to understand what i am saying.
i have tried numerous things, ie turn off // on VoLTE/WIFIcalling , factory resetting but still have the same issue. I am a bit desperate here since i spend a lot of time in my car and also use by earbuds during my workouts and its been quite frustrating. Also as far as listening from my bluetooth goes everything is superb , both hearing my caller and music.
My wired earbuds work flawlessly and of course the same goes for when i am talking directly from the phone. I am in Europe currently my firmware is 9.0.0.146.
To tell you the truth i am convinced it is a firmware issue and i will wait till the next upgrade , if this isn't resolve in the next update i will probably visit Huawei service center.
Also there is the chance that since my bluetooth devices are not bluetooth 5.0 there may be some incompatibility with mate 20 pro but there shouldn't be right ?
Anyway if you have some similar experience or even better any suggestions i am all ears.
I know people hate to hear this but I would say it's the devices you're using. I had much more issues with my Note 9 than I do with the Mate 20 pro on bluetooth.
With the car, maybe its the phone though using the phones mic instead of the car mic? This issue might be the phone.
Try and contact Huawei, they might patch it.
Hi Jonathan , i would go with the device as well if it wasn't for the fact that both my devices seem to have an issue with mate 20 pro, they were working perfectly(well nothing is perfect) till the day i stopped using my S7.
Anyway just wanted to know if i am the only one with issues since(might be a hardware issue) or if other people have the same issue(firmware, software) that may be solved in the future or maybe if anyone is using a specific bluetooth device with their mate 20 pro that works correctly , maybe i could give it a try, although i was quite happy with AM61 , i have gone through 3 pairs in the last year(i tend to loose them easily), but they are quite impressive for their price.
I am teriffied to have to go to something like the freebuds, or airpod style earbuds, lossing those will make a dent in my wallet
Hello
I am having the same problem with exactly the same earbuds am61
With mate 20 pro
Can someone suggest a decent headphone pair that works well with mate 20 pro. I have AM61 and a PX3 car stereo and both of them have the call quality issue, i was in .153 and the issue was better , now i am on .187 and it is even worse. I have a bluetooth 3.0 plantronics M50 that is working fine with the phone so this is no hardware issue.
I am looking for something that i can use for my workouts and my calls nothing special. i have found these on amazon maybe someone that has them can tell me if they work fine :

i am looking for something at the price range of 30-60 euro, maybe a little more if they are really worth it.

Happy to report that. 201 fixed my bluetooth issues for the most part, my callers report that call quality is tolerable both from my car Bluetooth as well as my am61 earphones. Will test further in the next few days.
Same issue here - On 9.0.0.187
Volkswagen Golf 7 2016
Voice sounds like its lagging and like metallic treble
Also i notice with Spotify will streaming music that the display unit is out of sync with what i am listening
It shows the title of the previous song that i have listen not the current one
Its like it cannot sync correctly

At 9.0.0.210 now and although the problem seems to be a lot better it is not fixed. Main issue now is when the hotspot is on and you are sharing data bluetooth call quality is very bad.
Also i have noticed that when sharing data and stream music with A2DP over bluetooth you get skips in music , and no it is not my data connection. i am taking the same roads to work as when i had my S7 and had no issues there.
Well you can't have it all i guess, to tell you the truth since i am a heavy bluetooth user i am thinking of selling it and buying an S10 but going back to sammy is very difficult for me, i was a sammy user for the last 4-5 years both for tablets and phones and although the devices were great after 6-9 months i had lag issues and battery problems, i replaced my S7 after 2.5 years because pressing the call button took 5 seconds to actually start dialing and had to charge the battery 3 times a day. My tab S3 takes about 10 seconds to wake up in the morning and lags like hell even after doing a factory reset.
I am starting to think that Apples overpriced s***tphones are not a bad idea after all

Γεία σου χαλαρέ! To tell you the truth i am thinking the same
Maybe not a S10 but something else..
My only issue with Samsung is the rate of the upgrades. S10 comes with Pie and i am guessing that it will get Q a bit before S11 comes out! xD
Same issue with p30 pro with latest updates. S10 plus worked fine, but since i have p30 pro, people are complaining they can hear me just like in water
