Hiy folks.. Picked up the Flex a week or so ago and have a very hard time getting a screen capture using the vol down and power button. I think it has worked one time out of 50 or so. Anyone else have issued trying to capture screen with this method? Thanks.
Works fine on mine. It's a little tricky but once you get the hang of it it's no problem

It's tricky, but there's an easy way to do it. Just take a quick memo of the screen. You can just use the pop up semi circle or the toggle. Super easy and works eveytime

Had trouble the first few times, but got the hang of it. I posted my latest screenshot.
G Flex ftw!
I've been using gravity box's advanced reboot menu option in xposed installer to get a screenshot menu option when I long press the power key. I hate how tricky the factory way is. If the developers of this phone concentrated more on these user friendly features instead of bootloaders and patching Loki and depriving us from the full potential of our phones then maybe this thread would never have been started . And for that matter there would have been several happy customers not having an issue with the screenshot nor disgruntled customer pissed because they wanna create a dictatorship over how we use our phones. That I've paid ,as I'm sure many of you had, nearly $700 for. Sorry that rant just slipped out. Lmao

Picked up my One on launch day and noticed the power button was not level (as if half of it had been mashed in and didn't sit right). Granted, not a huge deal, the button just has to be pressed harder, however I could see it becoming a problem over the next year or so. Gonna try to get a replacement tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone else had a similar issue?

I've got the same thing. It doesn't require any extra force but its noticeably angled.

Mine is the same, and I was in 3 today and their display model was the same so it's not an issue for me, the button still feels very useable
I went and got a replacement today, and the replacement heats up to about 115 degrees within 5-10 minutes of use. Every setting and app the same as on the first. I called the guy at Sprint and he said he'd take a look. I just can't seem to win.

1 word: Nandroid
I went through 3 different Note 3s because of various quality control issues and the ability to make a nandroid would have been amazing since I had to setup everything 4 times after rooting 2 different phones. Other than that, I don't really care too much about custom roms, unless they offer some benefit in addition to the Xposed framework modules and debloating I did.

The first N3 kept an Edge data signal most of the time and would never lock onto and LTE signal for more than 10 seconds. The second one, and about 6 others I looked at in the store, had issues with the home button getting stuck under the glass. It was just during regular use, not trying to force it. If I tapped on the button off-center, it would get stuck under the glass, and constantly make the task manager pop up. The manager tried to call my bluff until she repeated the same when using the phone normally, instead of holding it horizontally and letting the weight of the phone release the button each time. I felt like it was back in the Hot Wheels days of searching for Treasure Hunts. I got one that doesn't seem to have any issues so far, aside from my E-mail FC, but I'll figure that out.

Good to know. I'm not too fond of the home button swimming around. I'm having mic issues. I have to hold it to my mouth for the phone to register.

Bottom line is there is no custom recovery and from what I understand there won't be unless the boot loader gets unlocked.

You can get n900a-cwm-recovery.tar from: http://d-h.st/mVG
However, bootloader of N900A is locked. You cannot flash it with Odin.
What we expect is Unlock bootloader.
Not a major issue but just curious as to why the stock screen shot does not work in a lot of apps but does in some? I've already fixed by using a mod in xposed but would really like to know for my own curiosity. Or maybe I'm just missing something or doing it wrong but it's vol ⬇ and power at same time correct?

Yea hold down the power button and volume down at the same time for a second or two. Also you can use the quick memo option.
Working on d959 you have to "one finger it" making sure your finger is spread evenly between the two buttons. If all fails use xposed framework to put it on your power menu.

Seems my swipe to answer takes anywhere from 3 to 5 swipes before it will actually answer the call. Is this an isolated thing or are others having the same issue? Missed plenty of calls because of it.
No issues answering calls at all for me.

I rest my finger on the answer before swiping. Works better That way. Have seen the same issue.

I find this problem on every Android phone I ever owned, touched or played with.
I changed it to Home Button to answer the call,it's a lot better (you can change in ACCESSIBILITY).
Resting my finger on the answer slider for a split second seems to be helping. Kind of annoying that I have to do this on a brand new phone but what can I do...thanks guys
Hold your finger on the answer button until the green ring gets larger, then swipe.

I think this is a pocket guard feature if your phone is facing your leg. Just my two cents. Don't think it can be disabled.

first make restart. then you can return to factory settings

your right on with that answer, there is about a 500 millisecond delay for swipe to answer in order to prevent the accidental answering of a call while its in your pocket/purse/briefcase etc. this can be modified by changing some smali code in the incallui.apk (i believe) but i wouldnt recomend it.
i find my phone calling people from time to time. when i take it out of my pocket. lol.. dont think the feature is helping me t all.
Who needs Facebook or social media sites when development takes off at a staggering rate as it is right now on XDA and for the LG G Flex.
Please everyone taking advantage of the new and great developments on here just take a few moments to stop in at all the topics you've used and have benefited you for what ever reason or another and click the thanks button on those peoples threads for taking time out of their lives to help you or to develop mods,ROMs, and apks that you're using.

Yeah, but after using the flex for a while going back to the note 2 makes the screen seem wider in the middle then the top and bottom.
The flex feels like 36,24,36.
The note2 now feels like 36,45,36.

I kinda miss my note 2. Right before i left Verizon and my sammy the development was getting super sick! The devs over there were just friggin good! I haven't gotten to know some of the guys over here yet. I really hope this phone gets popular and development takes off. This phone is badass. Hopefully some sweet roms are on the way!

Note 2 on Verizon? With development?! More like locked bootloaders and prison, at least nowadays... Note 2 has treated me good but is now out of style.. I wanna jumpship to the G2 or G3, they just seem more..user-friendly. Not so workplace lookin'.

I found a replacement screen/digitizer on eBay that looks like it had no LG branding on the front bottom. It's 114 some odd bucks. Mines not broken, but it would be nice to know if is genuine AND makes the front super sexy.

When 4.3 hit a lot of people took the update which locked the phone down. Before that bootloader was wide open and there were a ton of just badass roms and kernels to play with. New roms dropped almost daily for a while there. At this point I would just like to flash anything! Its been months. I've got the shakes.

Yeah, luckily I'm the type who doesn't make decisions without reason, so I didn't take the update until news about it came out. Unfortunately since I have Verizon the bootloader is still locked for me, the Casual exploit falsely unlocked the bootloader, meaning it said "successful" and when I updated recovery it still brought me the "Unauthorized Software...take to nearest Verizon store" error, 3 separate times after restoring to stock, so I gave up. Idk what's up with my damb phone.
Enough of my problems, as far as yours goes, you can fix it with a jtag (Riffbox, $150), although you'd have to make an investment on that or send it to an expert (I've seen $30 offers). Other than that, with specifically the Note2 you can trip a resistor with a piece of solder to tell cpu to load bootloader from SD card, you can find that around the forums on here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49611038). Those are the only two methods. :thumbup:

My snooping girlfriend checks the browsing history from time to time. She claims that she is only looking because she can't remember a site she visited earlier. Sometimes I delete all XDA history and Tube 8. I have been more embarrassed by the amount of times I have visited XDA than porn. At least she understands why I watch porn on occasion.
