Almost lunch time though.

Oh, and I ordered a 64GB Nexus 6P. I'm done with this LG G4... couldn't pass up the deal for the 6P and didn't really want to wait for the new Nexus to come out (and pay even more for probably minimum upgrades).

I'm so tempted to pull the trigger on one. I can't stand my business iPhone 6 and my personal HTC One M8 is slowly starting to seize up with diminished battery and performance. I really am trying to hold out until Oct when Google does their I/O for the new Nexus lines.

Stop tempting me!!!!!!!!

Haboob · 08-10-2016, 02:30 PM

...I'm on my fourth LG G4. 1 because of overheating (like literally burning my thigh while in my pocket and not in use), and 2 because of the manufacturer defect with the ROM chip detaching and causing a bootloop (literally had to put it in the freezer to do a backup and transfer photos, etc.). Got the first one replaced, the next lasted 2 weeks before it did it again.

Now, this latest is okay, but still freezes every now and then and I have to turn the screen off (so it locks) and then back on. Also seems kind of sluggish, and I'm just done with LG.

They and/or VZW won't buy out my phone for the remaining $250 or so I owe on it... I feel like there should be a lemon law for phones...

I stay far away from LG and Motorola. I've had nothing but issues with those brands even outside of phones. HTC has been kind to me, and google is solid.

One of my friends had the LG G3. Nothing but issues with the camera. She then upgraded to the new LG G5 and has constantly complained about random lag from the bloatware skins overlayed on the phone.

See, I had an HTC Thunderbolt and that was the biggest piece of **** ever. I vowed to never to back to HTC. I actually went to an iPhone after that.

But, I wanted a better camera so I came back to Android. I think HTC is better now, and they're doing the next Nexus... but oh well. I've made my decision. Getting the Frost White at a discounted price is huge. It was only ever available direct from Google, but now I got it through Best Buy ebay... for like $150+ off.

The thunderbolt was junk. They're just like older model hyundais. Don't buy anything from 2005 or older. Since the One M8 came out, the quality and software is far better and has come a long way.

For that price though, can't go wrong the with 6p. Friend has it and loves his. Still fast, holds a charge, and looks amazing.

Finally found some cheap rims I like. They are blatant knockoffs but whatever lol

Will be able to stuff the 325's I want out back and can drop these spacers I put on temporarily.

ChaseZ · 08-10-2016, 03:00 PM

Baking my tailpipes in the oven right now to set the urethane ceramic clearcoat. Going to take a few hours all said and done but hopefully it's a harder finish than baking them on the car.

Whatever until the spokes snap in half from hitting a pot hole. i've seen and read to many horror stories to cheap out on wheels.

Well **** that's no darn good. I've never even heard of that happening, but not so fond of being the first either.

I'd better ask Anthony about the quality control of these things..

Varrstoen? There is none. That's part of the reason they're so cheap. That and cheaping out on the manufacturing process

If you need a second set of wheels at steeply discounted prices, the OEM wheels are pretty much the best option. I think? you can fit a 325 tire on the 10.5" wide rear Nismo wheels.
