If you did keep it I would have suggested getting the battery removed because it would have been dangerous to be removed.

Why not just ask him to jump off a very tall building?

Since you bought it out right you will get a full refund. Did they ask for bank details or anything like that? They may just credit you by the details you gave them when you bought it.

not a peep, Iv'e since called the order desk who have told me it will be upwards of a week until I get my money back... not good enough in my book. Me and several thousand other customers have essentially given Samsung an £800 loan.


How the hell do I go about starting a class action lawsuit ?!

Bugger, should have read it before posting. I meant it would have been dangerous to not remove the battery.

CAB maybe? I would start by writing to Samsung and asking for compensation. Work out fairly what you think you are entitled to, things such as buying a cheap phone to keep you going until you got a refund, cost of any accessories you now can't use (make some up if necessary), investment in time setting up the phone, stress caused by whole incident (including worry of personal injury). Put a monetary price on it and ask them what they will be doing to put this right.

Quick question, what apps do you all use for internet radio, and what do you use for downloading youtube videos?

For radio, I hear TuneIn is good.
For downloading YouTube videos, this is illegal, so I've forwarded your details to the copyright cops.

My LG G4 has succumbed to the infamous bootloop glitch.

My LG G4 has succumbed to the infamous bootloop glitch.

Hope mine doesn't do this.
Did you notice anything in the weeks before it happened eg. Phone being slow , touchscreen not registering properly.

[Drumstick]

Nope. Just went kaput for no reason.

Thanks for the recommendation, also...They'll never take me alive!

In other news, I found that vlc can play internet streams and it works great! All you need is the url. Another good one seems to be podcast addict, good features and the permissions seem to be more normal than some of the other players (tunein asks for location and identity info).

When mine went it just went.

Good news is that LG will repair it for free and the process is fairly straight forward and relatively quick.

[darksideby182]

Think when mine goes I'll get a new phone but get it fixed still and sell it.

I'm more interested in the Nougat release at the end of the month for sideload then the OTA in December.

Well my phone is already acting up, for some reason if I turn on Bluetooth, and then sometime later plug in headphones, the headphones are not recognized. I need to reboot the phone for it to recognize the headphones regardless of if the Bluetooth is turned on or not.

This is just a mild irritation, but at first I didn't realize the connection between the Bluetooth and the headphones, and I thought my headphone jack was broken or something.

What phone do you have?

Asus Zenfone 3

The problem is back, except now the reverse, the phone won't switch to the speaker after headphones were plugged in unless I restart, and this time I didn't use Bluetooth at all.

[darksideby182]

Very odd

[Rightey]

Yeah, the one good thing is that this just seems to be a software issue since it resolves itself after re-starting. If it were a hardware problem that probably wouldn't help.

[That's not a growth]

Not necessarily.
