So today I finally traded my G5 for a replacement due to a strange issue with major lock screen lag. This was mainly if you tried to unlock right after locking. Well, I noticed my new G5 is doing the same.
I was angry, but as I was setting back up, I somehow fixed it! I have confirmed that if I just change my lockscreen wallpaper to anything, my phone will unlock lag free. I can even just set the same wallpaper over again and it's fine.
I don't know, maybe I'm really picky with my phone's, but the difference is quite huge. I have the Verizon variant.
Holy crap you are right, just changed the lockscreen wallpaper and now it's instantly fast. Wth. I'm on rooted T-Mobile H830 G5
Just wanted to bump this as I just reset my phone ready for a trip abroad and lockscreen was really really slow to unlock.
Thanks for this. Very useful info
It worked for me too, thanks sir!!
Worked
Wow. It actually worked. I have been annoyed by that delay ever since I purchased this device. Thank you so much!
Thanks it worked! Started to think they broke it on purpose to make me buy V20. Another conspiracy theory failed

You should be able to run this in either refurbished or upgrade. With upgrade you won't lose your data.
Kickin' it on my VS990

Yeah..it's pretty great all around. I really dig it and I'm happy for the most part.
It does have some quirks about it that I'd attribute to the way LG does some things. The stupidity involving the backlight bleed on the second screen is an embarrassment of engineering and the peculiar way the screen brightens and dims at times even though the auto sense is turned off.
I come from a rooted Note 3 with a really clean custom ROM.

You will man! I just turned off that function as I found it annoying, so I just have shortcut icons on it when the screen is unlocked.
The camera is pretty bleepin impressive...and I just found a sweet spot with the HDAC driver and Viper FX working in combo....vroom!

Hell ya. I like the second screen i use it as a media player options. The time and date, and quick short cuts to contacts. The camera is awesome. I do love it and see its a bit better then the g4. No needing to mod this camera like i did on my g4. This camera seems to work with my green screen with the manual video options. It make chroma keying easyer as it feels plus i control the color temp . My g4 wants to stay in a warmer color then cool but its because the lighting. So far i love this phone and i can study more into photography and video editing
I busted my T-Mobile LG G5's screen and it lasted a while, but then water damage seeped in and ruined it.
I was experiencing GPS lock issues like so many others from the get-go as well.
I found a lot to like about this phone but before getting a replacement (I'd get the H860 unlocked), can anyone suggest a viable alternative that I can get now or can get with a little waiting?
(Really down on Samsung; bought a Note7 in Singapore a few days ago and now, back in the US, am deeply regretting it as the device lagged badly, even after factory reset, and continued crashing until it just wouldn't fully boot up anymore).

Wait for new Pixel phones? Or LG (again) V20? Or S7 edge.... Or iphone 7[emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] ?

I would also agree with pixel or v20 but if you don't want to spend too much money get the OnePlus 3

Pixel is probably out of the question because it fails my requirements, specifically:
- Must take an SD card of some kind.
- Must have a swap-able battery.
- Waterproof (important but optional)
The VC20 seems nice, but doesn't really give me anything the G5 doesn't, a phone I liked a lot apart from GPS lock issues. Processor isn't faster, etc.
Nothing good on the horizon.
Fortunately, my Galaxy S5 still works and that meets all of my requirements. I guess I'll be hanging onto it a bit longer.
Just curious if anyone knows of any method/software to get past the lock screen on an LG G5 (Rogers is the carrier in Canada). My little brother recently passed away (he was 29....) and we are wanting to get any pictures we can and make sure we take care of his estate/accounts. I have found the "Dr. Fone" software by wondershare but it looks super sketchy and i've yet to find any confirmed cases of anyone using it successfully to remove the lock screen on a device. It is completely stock and is still on Marshmallow (the Nougat update is pending). If anyone knows it would be greatly appreciated

So sorry to hear a bout your lose. I know the pain, brother died 8 months ago And sister few years back. Rip to your brother and my siblings.
But back to your question. Did you try taken out sd card? Most stock and 3rd party cam apps go to pictures on sd. I am sure you google already. As you can see there isn't many options for lockscreen bypass.
Later on today I will test that program out for you and report results.
Bump help this guy out people. Maybe someone knows more?
Question could he call google and supply proof of relationship and death of owner. Then google would provide password? Doubt it, just curious.

Just started using it today. Seems like it works okay so far. Anybody else use it? Have you been able to trick it? Just curious about how well it works and security on it.

I find it not working correctly more often than not, however, that is because I only really use it while my phone is lying down, so the angle of my face might be tripping it up. I can't imagine what it will be like on the iphone x where this is the only way to unlock the phone. Holding my phone up to my face is not how I want to unlock my phone every time.

Yeah. I still have the fingerprint set up and mostly use that. True, I have bought iPhones too but I really wasn't interested in the X at all.

I redid the facial recognition for face unlock and I am now finding it is more accurate than before. Win!
**Yes i was being stupid, found it
Am i being really stupid, but i cant find this feature at all.
Im sure i saw it on set up but cant find it again now.
Andy ideas chaps?

Face unlock option gone?
Sorry for bringing this old thread up again, but i wanted try the face unlock option recently and i can't find it anymore.
I've set it up when I got my phone but switched it off till now.
Does anybody have the same problem? It it possible LG removed the option with one of latest updates?
Cheers

Nevermind, i've found it. Apparently i've removed lg face recognition from trust agents...
I'm currently holding the A526U1 bought unlocked and on Metro as a carrier - my CSC appears to be TMK. (Unrooted, though I probably don't need to specify that with that U1) As of right now I still haven't gotten the Android 12 update, though a friend with the A52 5G on T-Mobile has, and that was about a week ago. I sort of expected to get mine pretty soon afterwards, with Metro being owned by T-Mobile and all, but nope, not the case. Was wondering where everyone else in the US is on the update, both on the large carriers and the smaller ones. I'm curious as to whether we're "mostly there" or still just getting started on the rollout.
Actually, it says on the T-Mobile website that their latest update is 12. https://www.t-mobile.com/support/de...a52-5g/software-updates-samsung-galaxy-a52-5g - I haven't asked him what model number he has, but he otherwise has the A52 5G and lives in the northeastern US just like I do. So it's definitely here, but not on my model/CSC.
Ah, yeah! I provided the info about my particular model but really was curious about the full, wider net in the US; my bad not clarifying further on that part!
I'm non T-Mobile and have had mine for the last week... I live here in Texas

Ooh haha gotcha, okay that lines up with the other T-Mobile release - I guess they probably put that out nationwide. The U1 still doesn't have the update as of today, which I find curious. I wonder if the other US models not attached to T-Mobile have theirs yet or if it's just the U on T-Mobile. Anyway thanks!

I also got the latest security patch just a few days ago.. I will say, there seems to be some glitches in this latest Android. For instance when typing sometimes the keyboard just disappears.. Plus the soft keys disappear and I can not exit back to the home screen.. This is mostly after watching videos online.. And a few times when I had the phone app open, I could not view recent calls or access my contacts, except opening up the contact app.

My friend on T-Mobile says he's gotten at least two follow-up patches after the main patch and was actually complaining about having to update so often, to which I said "dude you WANT those patches after a big OS update, they're cleaning up stuff that you're otherwise going to run into" - and I'd guess this is a good example of some of that stuff they haven't gotten to yet. I still have not received the new update, interestingly - I'm not sure whether Metro is being careful not to release a update that isn't quite finished baking or if my exact model isn't prioritized, but it would be nice to think that the version I end up with is a little more polished than the one you're having to deal with (boy figuring out quotes took me a hot second)
This is what I was talking about. The missing soft keys. They came back after swiping to take a screen shot

That's very weird. Okay Metro if you want to take your time making sure I don't gotta deal with that I'm cool honestly. Tho tbh this patch from Android 11 I'm on I have weird activity happen with Gboard - Gboard will try to activate but end up flashing open and then shut again, sometimes with what may be a real flash of noise on the screen that is hard for my eyes to actually detect. It's hard to predict when it will happen but it happens often enough! On the videos, not even scrolling back upwards makes the soft keys come back? (I ask because scrolling down in the gallery makes them disappear for me until I go up again)
Nope not even scrolling. I have let the screen time out then open again. Then the keys reappear.

That's bananas. Hope that gets fixed soon for you, that sounds like a hassle and a half. Have you looked to see if the gesture navigation bar does the same thing? Probably not that easy, but whack either way

I have the same exact model as you: A526U1, but I'm unlocked on AT&T. I too still do not have the Android 12/One UI 4 update. So it's definitely not a Metro thing that's holding up your update. I think they haven't updated it because not every carrier has finished testing it? Really not sure, but I'm super frustrated that other A52 5Gs got it here in the US but not the U1.
I do (and I assume you also do) have the January security patch.

I recently found that information that said that unlocked phones need to be tested on every carrier before being updated, and truthfully at this point seeing the bugs that they're still working through, I feel like that might come out as an advantage for us unlocked users? I'm not sure if it works the way I think it works but it's almost like everybody who isn't unlocked ends up beta testing for the unlocked users?
I do have the January security patch like you, but yeah, no big update yet. But I've contented myself with that on the logic above.
For anyone curious, I received the update last night for my unlocked A52 5G on Metro - so far I haven't noticed any bugs - in fact I think some minor issues I had seen with my display are gone? But there's still time lol. Hex theming is running successfully on it, as a sidenote
I actually got my update for Android 12 and One UI 4.0 a couple weeks ago and another security patch about a week later. From what I have read it has only been released for the A52 5G phones that are not carrier locked. Mine is the SM-A526U and I use with MetroPCS. So far I haven't had any issues with my updates and everything is working good. I did flash a custom GCAM 8.3 port from the new Google Pixel before the 12 update but both camera apps work pretty well with GCAM only having slightly better features. It does take some tinkering with as the ported app at first would take between 1-2 seconds to actually take the picture
