I have read quite a few of these reviews and it is plainly obvious that the people writing them have only had their phone a short time. I have had this phone for almost a year now and here are ALL the issues with the phone: Battery does not last very long at all if you do not kill, close, and clear all recent apps, HORRIBLE, and by horrible, I mean the ABSOLUTE WORST PHONE for multitasking. You want to text while receiving a text, nope, it will freeze and not let you type anything, or when it is on the automatic app killer. Any time something else is going on from receiving a text, or pandora changing songs, the phone freezes up and you cannot text. The service will randomly go out, or even if you have 4G LTE and 4-5 service bars, pandora will freeze, maps will lose your location, the location services on this phone only work on WiFi now, and that is some of the time. I have the weather app and it will say I am in a city 15 miles away from where I live when I am at home. Any time you want to look up an address, and not directions, it won't let you without having a starting point. The location services NEVER works anymore, especially after this last update. I have had nothing but problems with this phone.
Now, I originally bought this phone because the iPhone was too small and I needed a phone with a much bigger screen. It was perfect when I first got it and the best thing ever!! It was very easy to navigate through and making the switch from the iPhone to this LG. I used to love my phone and brag about it. However though, after 6 months, it didn't go down slow, no, it straight up crashed. Went from lightning fast everything, to, I may as well have my laptop hooked up to dial up. The lock screen rarely works anymore when I want to open up one of the preset apps. I have to swipe to unlock it then click on the app that I want to use. If you do not have a passcode on the phone, when you leave it in your pocket, doing anything from going for a walk with the dogs, to just leaving it in your pocket while you are at work, it will randomly open and start navigating though different apps/settings. I have on several occasions taken my phone out from my pocket and the font is different, size of the font is bigger or smaller, and one time it changed to a different language.
So in closing, unless the bugs and kinks have been worked out in the newer phones, I would say don't waste your money. I want to throw this phone on a daily basis and hope that the new iPhone comes out soon!!
