Has anyone noticed that if you use the volume down button shortcut to access the camera app you can then use the home button to go directly to the home screen without unlocking? I am on a stock AT&T variant using the fingerprint scanner as the primary with pattern unlock as secondary. Seems like a pretty major security flaw... Does anyone have experience with other Android phones new that have a fingerprint scanner? Is this an Android issue, or an LG UX thing?

I'm on Verizon and I use the same security set up as you do.
But I'm not seeing a home button when using the camera shortcut...all I see is the "back" button and when pressed, it takes me back to the lockscreen.

Mine functions the same as this.
If you swipe up from the bottom of the screen it becomes visible and you can then press it.

Nevermind, ID10T error. It only works if the phone hasn't fully relocked itself.

Ah, ok I see the home button now, but it still takes me back to the lock screen.
Not sure what the issue could be with yours though, but odd indeed.
Would a simple reboot help?

Just switched over from Samsung Fascinate (hey nitsuj17). 4g is super fast I'm loving this phone, got all the vzw bloat disabled. Can't wait for s-off, root and all that good stuff.
I have one question though. Why is there no notification quick-settings, wasn't that added in 4.1?

That's the way I felt till I started using it. Now I love it. I still find myself wanting the search button.

I thought I was gonna hurl the thing out a window when I first got it. Now I use the recent apps button all the time. I sure miss having them rotate though
And I agree, I miss the search button.
Long press on the home button for recent apps is more efficient use of the buttons. Then the recent apps button could be search.

Unless I am mistaken, this is how the "3-button mod" works. It will be another benefit of the pending root.

quick setting and htc on sense4/4.1/4/5/4+ has been an oddity for sure across the one series and other phones
on random ota/roms they enable it, others they disable it, others they completely remove the code
many sense4.1 ota's enabled a toggle in settings that allowed for switching of "recent" apps to menu...ours didnt for some reason
once you are rooted, custom roms fix this issue...and viperRom allows you to completely remap the long presses of all 3 buttons, and select what you want the menu to be
cant wait for root then

I think I've seen that addressed on YouTube. Try disabling the ripple effect on the lockscreen and see if that helps you any.
Cool, id say that cut it in half.

Even with that disabled it still takes about 1.5 seconds for it to wake up.
Also under lockscreen, disable Pop-up Note on Lockscreen. I turn my animations to none or .5 under developer options as well, which speeds everything up a bit.

Disable popup note on lockscreen, and also in S Voice settings turn off the wake up commands. Problem solved.

same here. I have the popup note setting disabled, and also have S voice completely disabled. Still the delay.
I have everything disabled that's been mentioned, and I also have the lockscreen disabled, and there's still a delay for me as well.
Possible fix for the lag
Okay, so this lag has been driving me crazy, and I believe I found a way around it, but it has a big trade-off:
Unmount and remove your SD card, and the lag will go away.
Super weird, and hopefully someone can identify what it's looking for on the SD card. This has worked for me in a bit of quick testing, curious to see if it works for other people as well.
Would using a class 10 card help?

I have a class 10 SDXC card, and there's still a slight delay when pressing the power button to turn the display on, even with the lock screen completely disables.
I'm sure it's hardware. Our screens are relatively big and LCD tvs take a lot longer to fully turn on etc.
Maybe it is app related because my phone wakes up as soon as I hit either button. Even with lock screen and s-voice on. I have a 32gb class 10 sdcard as well. I only have a few gigs of data on the card though.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
My phone takes about 1 full second for the screen to turn on after I hit a button.
same here...pulled sd card and even ended up doing a full data wipe/factory reset...still have about 1 second delay....so frustrating
i actually believe its the TouchWiz launcher. i switched to ADW launcher and theres no lag. the lock screen ripple/spen ink blots are smooth. though if i reset my phone it loads TouchWiz first and makes me choose adw launcher again, and that first time i notice the lag. as soon as i pick adw launcher all the time..perfect.
Go into settings
tap menu button at the bottom -> Switch to tab view
Go to display tab, there is the "Front touch buttons". You can change the buttons and the color.
I could never find it in the list view.
This is useful on the verizon lg g2. Probably already tab view and easy to find on the other ones.

That seems like a setting you wouldn't want to mess with.
Just because a setting can be changed, doesn't mean it should be.
Having used AOSP for the past year, it's taking me some time to get used to the LG features, but it's interesting.

If anyone wants to get qslide out of the notification tray, I found a guide on androidcentral that worked.
To remove qslide from your notification tray...
First, pull down the notification tray, then in the quick setting at the top, scroll to the right and look for qslide. If you have it, toggle it and qslide will go away. If you don't have it in quick settings already, select edit and add it in. Then go back and toggle it, then return to settings and remove the qslide toggle. Qslide will be gone like it should be and we will have world peace!

You can turn off auto dimming without root, the option is under settings -> display
it's not auto brightness though. it's something completely different.

U talking about thermal throttling that when it gets a certain temp, it dims they display? This can be turned off in the service menu ....
Open dialer, and type 3845*#800# I always turn off thermal throttling that dims ur display when phone gets over 100 degrees. Do this by going to High temperature property off, and thermal deamon mitigation off, and enable them both...
That is the code for the at&t version. The 800 between the #'s is the model number, so Verizon guys would insert there model there...
