“I’m happy where I’m at now,” Looper said before yesterday’s rainout. “Obviously it just didn’t work out.
“When I signed with St. Louis, it was hopefully to get where I’m at right now. I didn’t know it would be against the Mets. That’s kind of unusual.
“I’m definitely excited to be here, excited to play against the Mets and hopefully beat them.” Throughout 2005, Looper had a problem with the acromioclavicular, or AC joint in his right shoulder.
He knew about the problem over the winter, but gutted out an up-and-down season in which he blew eight saves in 36 chances. He blew three straight in September with his club furiously fighting for a wild-card berth. He said at points it hampered him, but at other times it wasn’t a hindrance.
“When I started having pain in the offseason and those things started happening, we didn’t have a bullpen,” he said. “Aaron Heilman was going to start, Roberto Hernandez was a non-roster invitee to camp.
“We didn’t know who we were going to have. Luckily, those guys pitched great. They were outstanding all year, and they pitched great this year, too. But at the time it was a situation where the best thing for me to do for myself and the team was, let’s just ride this out and see what happens.
“It’s not fun pitching in pain. So I knew when I had the surgery I would be better.” Looper signed a three-year, $13.5 million contract to set up Jason Isringhausen.
He went 9-3 with a 3.56 ERA but didn’t earn a save in two chances this season. When Isringhausen went down for the year, St.
Louis manager Tony La Russa elected to make Adam Wainwright the closer.
The new LG G4 is arguably one of the best Android smartphones released in 2015 and has plenty to offer with a big 5.5-inch screen, great performance, and one of the best cameras of any smartphone. But all of that doesn’t come without at least a few complaints. Now that the LG G4 is available from all major US carriers, reports and problems are starting to surface that are frustrating LG G4 owners.
On April 28th the LG G4 was announced live in New York City, replacing the older G3 from last year, and eventually arrived on all five major US carriers during the first week of June. It’s only been available for a few short weeks, and now that millions of owners are enjoying the phone, we’re starting to hear more and more about a few shortcomings with the otherwise excellent device.
The LG G4 received high praises all around the web, not to mention an Editors’ Choice Award here at GottaBeMobile for being one of the best phones to date. That all said, we’re starting to hear multiple reports about touchscreen issues, discoloration, Bluetooth complaints and more. Read on for a few of the main things we’ve heard thus far.
To start, late last week an update started rolling out on both AT&T and T-Mobile aimed at fixing a few critical issues in the software, as well as improving general device stability and performance. This was a mandatory update that both carriers pushed out and even installed without any interaction from the user.
This means owners weren’t able to accept or deny the update, and if they didn’t accept it, the carriers manually installed it anyways. This has frustrated some as along with fixing performance and other things, it likely blocked some vulnerabilities in the software allowing owners to root the phone, Android’s version of a jailbreak.
An update arriving and installing on its own was something many owners weren’t too happy about, but it’s the first update since the phone was released, aimed at getting everything right now that the phone is available to the public. Most likely it was worth updating, but still, this had many users upset.
However, the bigger issue appears to be a few nasty problems with the LG G4 touchscreen, as well as Bluetooth. The LG G4 has a beautiful 5.5-inch 2560 x 1440 Quad-HD display that’s one of the best on the market, but we’re hearing a few horror stories about it not recognizing taps, swipes, and general usage.
According to XDA Developers, who conducted a poll for those who own the LG G4, about 60% of owners are reporting touchscreen issues. The device simply doesn’t recognize all touches, something that is making many owners frustrated when they try to use KnockCode or other lockscreen security measures to unlock and use the device. Not to mention just daily usage. At the time of writing this only 38% have voted they’re having no problems, with the other 62% mentioning at least some sort of problem. Whether that’s daily, or just occasionally remains to be seen, and hopefully this can be addressed via a software update to make the screen more responsive.
We’ve yet to experience any touchscreen issues on our international LG G4, nor is our LG G4 on AT&T having problems. This doesn’t appear to be extremely widespread, but the numbers from the XDA poll above aren’t too comforting.
Then, heading over to the AndroidCentral forums there are a few threads where multiple LG G4 owners are complaining about Bluetooth. The main concern is the device not connecting to users car stereos or Bluetooth speakers for audio playback, but this could just be an incompatibility or user error. Another user reported that every time he turns off Bluetooth when he exits the car, the LG G4 reboots. This isn’t a widespread issue, but still, seeing reports of this is one more thing users and potential buyers need to be aware of.
We’re also seeing many of these complaints come from Verizon LG G4 owners, and as you know, the Verizon LG G4 release came with a few compromises as the carrier removed some popular software from the device. Features that other LG G4 owners are able to enjoy. The LG G4 is still one of the best phones around, and we’ll investigate further and update the moment we know more. Drop a comment below with any other problems or concerns you may have with your own G4.
Just like last year, LG is offering an official Folio Circle Case that offers multiple levels of protection, additional neat features, and a Flip cover to protect that big 5.5-inch screen. The trademark circle window cutout in the flip cover shows a clock, the weather, incoming call or text message information, quick access to the camera and more all without ever opening the case.
Flipping open the case instantly wakes up your device, but you can do everything mentioned above without even opening it. This case makes your phone durable, offers additional features, and protects the screen all in one. Last but certainly not least, there's also a second version of the Folio Case that enables wireless charging, making it more than worth the more expensive price point.
LG hasn't announced pricing for the G4 Folio case and it's still listed as coming soon on LG.com, but last year the G3 Folio case was $49, and the wireless charging enabled case was $59.99. We'll update once it actually goes on sale.
Touch screen issues, no smart stay keeping screen on when eye detection is there, no “screen off effects option” I have the AT&T version and consistently, apps will close when you tap, or try to scroll up or down in a program. (ie–FaceBook etc..) Why did LG omit the screen stay on feature! really, I use this and my G3 had it… the new has worn off very fast.
Got my G$ sat, on weds I lost half my screen. Seriously half my screen is just a fuzzy blank space right down the center of the phone. Guess I’m taking it back.
Same happened to my g4 at 2 weeks in. Wouldn’t you know it was past the return deadline. So after much runaround Sprint finally sent me a new phone (according to them). Took “new” phone to store to have it activated only to find out it doesn’t work…screen problems….according and it’s refurished. Customer service told me to contact LG. Hopefully they can help.
(5) When playing Pandora, cannot here caller when phone is answered. Phone will sound very low in volume.
(6) Contacted LG and they couldn’t provide an answer.
(a) Does not show status bar for songs.
2. Smart Settings are temperamental – Enabled Bluetooth to automatically open Pandora. Most of the time defaults to MP3 on Phone and doesn’t open Pandora.
4. LG Health will only show steps or calories tracked but not both simultaneously like the Galaxy 5.
1. Bluetooth – figured out I need to wipe the bluetooth cache before connecting to anything (my car, bt speaker), temporary fix tho as every couple days I have to repeat!
But it is a good phone, so I’m hoping it’s just an easy fix with an upcoming update.
My Sprint G4 half the screen locks up, and the phone heats up with the simplest of uses. So far, I’ve only owned it for 2 weeks and this is happening….very disappointed.
Had the same issue. Take it back in and exchange it. Mine started crashing constantly, No rhyme or reason, and it would get hot to the touch. Swapped mine out at day 9.
Same problem here but mine happened after my 14 day Sprint satisfaction period so I had to deal with LG for a warranty replacement. They’ve had my phone for 2 weeks and still won’t give me a status update other than “the repair depot has received the device”.
Quick update, it’s been almost 4 weeks now. I’ve had the refurb they sent me for a little over a week. The ESN for the phone they sent isn’t compatible with the Sprint network and LG doesn’t seem to care at all that I haven’t had a working phone for nearly a month. They already got my money so they’re in no hurry to make things right.
LG needs to learn to listen to owners like APPLE does, and put out a fix quickly.
Yes, although I don’t like Apple, theur updates heve been much faster in being released to solve hardware problems than LG, Samsung, or HTC. I’ve owned them all.
I know this is late, but for the benefit of others you will usually only get this error message if it decides you plugged in your charger upside down, just reverse how it’s plugged into the outlet and it’ll be fine.
However, my problem has been the forward facing camera deciding not to work, so I get to send it back….yay!….
1. Touch screen not very sensitive. Have to keep typing for the same letter.
2. Couldn’t launch camara. Have to restart the phone.
3. Couldn’t receive or make calls. Have to restart the phone.
4. Couldn’t open any web page/search. Have to restart the phone.
5. Click on link in email creating dual screen and couldn’t get rid of that. Tried to follow LG solutions to resolve the issue but there isn’t same button as mentioned in the instructions.
The returning issue after receiving a new replacement G4 for the one I purchased 2 weeks ago is once I leave home and disconnect from home wifi, I use Verizon data, or connect to coffee shop wifi.
Once I return home and reconnect to home wifi (which was tested and works perfectly), my phone connects, but performs excruciatingly slow to connect to links on Google, FB, or any other site.
I have to disconnect battery, then put back in and THEN it performs smoothly and fast once again. My only issue with phone is connecting to links with said scenario.
Tech support tried everything to no avail and sent me this replacement doing the same thing. Other phones and tablets and laptops perform just fine.
Any ideas out there? Anyone else?
I’m experiencing the same issue with my G4! I’ll be on my work wifi during the day, but when i get home and use my home wifi, very slow! I don’t have to go as far as removing battery, but a simple restart usually solves the issue. Still, very frustrating! My previous S4 never had this issue .
I don’t know what to do….
Install DNS from google play to navigate through google dns, the problem is a combination between comcast, lollipop and ipv6… DNSet solve the issue while we are waiting for an update.
I have the same issue with my home wifi. its connection is intermittent and if I move to my bedroom or the basement my connection is extremely slow or times out and does not connect at all! This is my biggest frustration with the phone. At first I was not able to send snaps and at all and my pandora would load but not stream the songs. After two on line chat conversations with sprint reps and on call to their tech service I was able to get that fixed but it is very choppy and not a very strong connection even though it says it is. The other phone in our house, iphone and galaxy s 5 dont have this problem. Very frustrating. I hope there will be an upgrade very soon to correct this problem!!
I just got my G4 two days ago. I switched from a Galaxy S5, and I’m used to a very responsive screen. This phone is driving me insane with how slow the screen is. I have to tap multiple times to get it to respond, the typing and Swype feature is especially awful. Is anyone else having this issue?! It is constant.
Where do I begin? When I got my SGS4 I was very impressed for 2 years, never had an issue and it was refurbished. Surely the LG G4 would blow my mind, nope. Sluggish, hot, when leaving app screen goes black, call quality is bad even with Verizon HD calling, touchscreen not responsive, caller ID issues, charging issues, etc… called Verizon and lg, they were shocked and said this was their first call about this issue. Nothing in their knowledge base. When I said it’s all over the Web about the same issues they denied it and said xda, android central, etc… post false info. I was really thrown back, I was hoping they would have known and are getting ready to push an update. Now thinking of selling this thing and getting a note 4 or 5. This will be the last LG I ever purchase. Did my research and so many great posts about this thing. What a shame and a let down. Thanks LG. To run a test open Quick Note and slide the pen back and forth then try tapping and see how many missed taps you get.
Here is the response from LG regarding issues. It’s of no help.
Thank you for taking time to contact LG and we really appreciate your e-mail!
I hope everything is going well with you.
We regret any inconvenience you’re having with your LG phone. Regarding your concern, I’m afraid that the Smart screen is not an included feature on the LG G4. I’m so sorry to disappoint you in this matter.
I also checked the link you have provided and noticed that they are having issues with the phone’s touch screen. We’re very sorry as LG doesn’t expect this to happen. I do recognize the frustration and disappointment this has brought as I would definitely feel the same if this has happened. As consumers, we definitely do not want to be treated in such a way. Please accept our apology for the trouble or inconvenience you have experienced.
What I will do is I’m going to forward your concern and feedback to our Developers team and make a report of this issue so they can look into this if this is a software-related issue. I’ll be providing all relevant information about the issue to them to possibly have an update to correct the device. I couldn’t provide you for now the ETA for a patch/update to be pushed through to the phone to fix the issues but we will keep you posted once we got a word from them. We appreciate you for taking the time to communicate to us.
If you have questions or need further assistance, please let me know. You can reach us out via LG Live Chat on our website (www.lg.com/us), or on our phone support by calling our technical support hotline 800-243-0000/ 1-800-793-8896.
Thank you and we wish you all the best.
And just like how everyone else is saying. The touchscreen is not very responsive.
I just bought the LG G4. My issue is with WIFI calling, Error 99 and 81 show up. The airplane mode is activated even when the airplane mode is not on or highlighted. It keeps telling me turn off airplane mode. Yeah right! So now I have a pending ticket with the T-Mobile Engineers. I have to wait at least three days. Great. Good luck everyone. I should have stuck with the Samsung Galaxy S5. This is taxing.
After having my phone for two weeks. My phone over heats and keeps restarting. Eventually it freezes. I have to take the battery out and let cool down for an hour before usage. Called LG and they want me to UPS my phone to Texas for 7 to 10 business days.
My LG G4 does most of everything already posted.
Overheating a lot since update.
Answering or ignoring a call….. lag (this has actually caused me to miss calls)!
This phone is a nightmare!
I’m a Day 1 owner on the T-Mobile service.
Oh, did I mention the lag?
2. Phone become very slow sometimes.
4. Sometimes of over heat issue is there.
Loved my LG G2 until Lollipop and then it SUCKED! Have ATT got G4 and not impressed. If I am outside in the heat, nothing (in any screen) on the left side of the screen responds. Phone gets hot even in the air conditioning. Will not sync up with 2014 Corvette….does not work at all! G2 worked great. Screen response is slow. When swipe to answer a call, have to do it numerous times and often miss calls. If this is the BEST phone out there currently…..sad! ATT said “phones don’t like heat”. I said I don’t either but I have to work in the heat and my phone should too. I have owned dozens of cell phones and they all worked in the heat!
3. I hear a buzzing, if a start the camera. Maybe its the OIS.
This LG4 is very disappointing. I moved up from an S5 and chose the G4 primarily because it had a removable battery and sd card. The screen is not very responsive to taps knock code and messaging failed. At first i though it was because of the cpu usage or ram but that is not the cause. I have the T-Mobile version and i’m very discouraged to see after reading the comments here that other users on other carriers are having issues as well. I doubt an update will fix this issue. Sending it back to T-Mobile today after using it for 10 days and i will have to pay a restocking fee of $50.00 because the phone is defective.
I switched from iPhone over to the G4, which I’ve had for 4 days now. So far my only issues are the phone not waking up from sleep when I tap on the screen, and for whatever reason when making a phone call that asks you to push a number corresponding with a choice, it would not register any button I pushed . any updates if this is something an update can fix or is anyone else having similar issues?
yes! the screen is black and I keep pushing the Big button but stays on for less than a sec and doesn’t let me in for at least 10 min. can’t even restart it. when I make calls and try to end them the screen is black, can’t do anything, I am lucky if the person on the other end ends the call. imagine how long are the voice messages I leave unwilingly. When I need it the most I am locked out for minutes and is getting worse..no more flashes ..just pitch black. it started after couple months and figure that- I’ve got no warranty and have 1 year and a half to go until my contract with ee ends.
I’m the last week the rear camera has stopped working. I can use the front camera, but the rear facing one (that I would use the most) has a black screen and the app shuts down with an error message “unfortunately the camera has stopped working”. Nothing I have done has helped. Anyone else having this issue??
I have the same issue and have not been able to resolve it. Have you found a resolution?
Bluetooth audio controls don’t seem to work for all users, including myself. I have a VW GTI, 2015. No issues with iPhone. Cannot control audio, see track info, change tracks with the steering wheel or on screen buttons. Deal breaker.
I had to send my phone to LG after 20 days of use because of screen issues. It took a week and a half after they received it to send a refurb back to me. And now the refurb they sent isn’t compatible with my carriers network! It’s been nearly 4 weeks since I’ve dropped my original phone off at FedEx to get it repaired and I STILL don’t have a phone that I can activate! LG’s customer service is HORRIBLE! I hope if anybody has to deal with them you have a backup phone because they WILL take forever to get it right. They just don’t seem to care since they already got my money. This is my first and most certainly last LG phone I’ll ever buy.
On my second G4 today and still cannot get the miracast to work. Says it is connecting then quickly disconnects. Help! On the phone for hours for support and was told to take it back for replacement and this one does not connect to screen mirroring as well!!!!
Now what do I do?
This was the reply I received… We regret any inconvenience you’re having with your LG phone. Regarding your concern, please try enabling/disabling the Auto-retrieve option on your Messaging app and see if this would correct the issue with the group meesaging.
1. From Home screen, tap MESSAGING > press MENU key > SETTINGS > uncheck the “Auto-retrieve” within the MMS section.
I went thru lg which was 0 Help then finally Verizon sees and says yes lg knows there’s and there not giving answers. So I did more work swapping phones until I had number 3 no changes so what’s different I investigate my wife’s phone has a manufacture date of 6/15 and works flawless however all of mine were manufactured 5/15 so I’m going with bad batch or bad digitizer I’m in number 4 with 0 issues and has a manufacture date of 6\15. The part that is the worst is people looking at you like your crazy.
I am having the same issues with my screen locking up on only the left hand side with Sprint. Last week at the Spring strore I was told to factory reset. Things seemed to work fine for 3 days which pushed me past my 14 day trial. Now the phone freezes again and now just shutdowns for no reason. Have to pull the battery and then boot up. Seems when running Waze the screen will freeze up constantly. I switched from a Galaxy S5 and regretting this decision.
I’m having issues with my volume going up and down on its own. I’ll have the sound all the way down at work and then all of the sudden it will bring itself back up. I don’t know if this is a performance issue of some setting that I need to fix. Anyone else having this problem?
My G4 turns dark when I try to take a picture horizontally. It’s intermittent. Very frustrating. Tried all the obvious checks and fixes. Even went a few rounds with tech support at Verizon. Verizon is shipping me another G4.
The phone sounds terrible when making outgoing or receiving incoming calls …whats up ! I feel like im calling another country or im with wind and im not!
Bluetooth in my car connects/disconnects/connects/disconnects ad nauseum. It will not stay connected so, unfortunately, it is useless to use in the car via BT. I have searched LG’s site, downloaded an app they suggested, with no help. I am so frustrated!
major problem with Shutdown. Unlike my S5 I can shutdown the G4 without unlocking it. This becomes a real problem if the phone is stolen as the thief can shut the phone down and I haven’t anyway of tracking its whereabouts.
My LG4 worked fine for the first three weeks (bought it in the beginning of July). Then it began shutting down and rebooting on its own randomly. Then it did it more often. Sometimes instead of rebooting (which it often gets stuck in a boot loop during and the battery has to be removed) it just shuts down. When it does this, it will not power on at all or recognize the charger if you plug it in and the battery needs to be removed. It overheats often… and it really gets hot. It stopped downloading any apps from the playstore. I finally did a hard reset hoping to solve the problem. Nope. It continued. I went to the radio shack where I bought it and because it is after the 14 day return policy (which of course I had no issues during) they couldn’t do anything for me. They did check out the phone and confirmed that they saw no damage to the phone of my own cause. I contacted Sprint next. Who told me I need to take it to a repair center to have them look at it. Which, of course, there is not one local to me and so until I can get to one I suffer with this expensive crap phone. It wiped itself out once and then was stuck on some speaking tutorial that it wouldn’t come out of and I had to then hard reset it again myself. Still the same issues. Constant. I’ve missed capturing moments of my toddler because the phone wouldn’t work. I had to reset it yet again 2 days ago because the Home button stopped responding. This is extremely frustrating and ridiculous. It is all I have for a phone and cannot count on it working for anything. I pay for service I can’t use. I paid for a brand new phone that is awful. I have owned 2 other LG phones in the past and had no problem with either. I was really looking forward to this one but have been nothing but disappointed and frustrated.
I upgraded my S5 to the new LG4 compact its a good phone but i keep having problems with the response time when i hit apps or icons on the screen it takes for ever. That might be an exaggeration but realistically 10 -15 seconds to resond to a command. I have tried rebooting the phone and deleting apps so rheres more memory but no improvement. Then other times its fine but it is becoming a frustrating problem i wish i had stayed with my trusted Galaxy.
Extremely laggy when typing. Not recognizings taps. Verizon variant. I ordered the new Moto X Pure Edition to replace it already. 3 months and no updates to fix the problems that the majority of owners have (62%?). I really wanted to love this phone (coming from 3 years of having problems with my samsung phones). I do love the UI. If the lagginess was fixed, I’d keep it.
I am having major touchscreen problems. I can’t seem to wake up the phone a lot of the time. I’ve found myself in situations where I really needed to use the phone and couldn’t wake it up. It’s really scary to have a phone that I can’t depend on.
