I have been waiting for this to go down in price ( brown) but didn't happen for black Friday. I know there have been a few G4 deals on here recently but this is a UK model with 2 years LG warranty and particularly the brown leather one has been a bit more expensive. Other colours also available at the same price : white, grey and black leather. Delivery is free if you're not in a rush otherwise you will have to pay more

The other deal is the Euro model and LG confirmed it has 2 years warranty.

Thank you for your query regarding your handset and of course I can help you with this, I can confirm that you do have a two year manufacturers warranty with your handset. If you do have any further questions then I would be more then happy to assist.

under EU law all the EU countries has to sell the electronics appliances mobiles etc etc with min 2 years warranty.

it only UK who are sneaking through 12 months so-called manufacturers warranty is a b*** s*** especially when i see the £500+ TV are being sold with it.

Work 6 days a week and just had a nightmare with yodel. Delivered when I was out and then their system would not accept a Saturday delivery. Even after talking with several operators by phone and web (got through by luck as talking to an operator is not an easily achievable option by phone). Was promised a Saturday and then it was withdrawn and I had to travel 40 minutes drive to pick up only to find that the pickup office was closed as the operator had given me the wrong opening times.
I have bought various items from ebuyer over a prolonged period of time but I would not buy from them even with their very competitive prices if I knew that the item was being sent by Yodel. Be warned.

Even I was worried about their website. But after reviews could see bit genuine than smartfonestore which just have warranty with their company, not lg. and looks like smartfonestore is European model...

The phone could be customer returns. there was no seal on the box, there was no earphones, no manuals,not for sale sticker inside the phone on battery compartment, a useless eu charger inside the box , but the phone looked new with screen film still on it, and lg verified the imei and confirmed it will honour 2 year warranty.

I'm really keen on this. It seems to give the best bang for your back out of all the phones that are out just now.

Has anyone seen both the black plastic and black leather versions?

Is the leather much nicer or is there not much in it?

Did you have to set up your phone as a different country when you installed LG Bridge. I chose UK and it says my software is up to date ver 5.1

pgregg

3 Dec 15 #44

No - I just ran LG Bridge, plugged in the G4 to the PC - select the Software update tab and click the Software update button. At no point did it ask me my country. Not this is all done on the LG Bridge program on the PC - I only had to unlock my G4 screen when LG Bridge prompted me to.

Hmmm, wonder why it won't update my G4 to 6.0? Might try another time.

Not quite true, at ebuyer specifically it has been £309 this week but they have just dropped it down to £299 (hence this deal).... they have been fluctuating the price up an down recently though.... still doesn't matter, ty OP for the heads up :smiley:

Ordered a LG G4 from Ebuyer on Monday but they still have not sent the item out. Used the free delivery which says 5 days but on the account page it says delivery is next Monday. so something to keep in my mind if you need the phone now.

There are 2 types of official case:

1: Snap on circle view £10-12.50 in retail packaging on ebay. Fits over the existing phone back, various colours.
2: Wireless charging circle view, replaces the current phone back, adds wireless charging.

All circle view functions are the same on both cases, changeable watch face in the circle, notifications, answer calls, read sms, use camera, use music playlists, LG Health app and you can add more I think, all accessible without even opening the case. Just a double tap on the circle. Brilliant IMO.

random_idiot

3 Dec 15 1 #66

just a heads up - ebuyer are using yodel for deliveries, and i just found out after purchasing the phone.
might be worth considering paying an extra 10-20 quid to buy from another supplier who doesnt use a band of random people gathered from the street for delivery drivers

striker33

3 Dec 15 1 #67

Bought it, but then I found it for £305.99 from BuyMobiles.net with next day delivery free. Makes it a couple of quid cheaper than buying from eBuyer with next day delivery!

angelicsmile to striker33

8 Dec 15 #97

Do you know if this is the official UK version or if it is EU version? Getting £5 through quidco makes it worthwhile buying from here with next day free delivery.

Rich-G to striker33

11 Dec 15 #109

Did your one from buymobiles.net arrive with the white factory sticket on the box (dont worry if it didnt not all of them do) I ordered one from there it didnt have that but I returned it becuase it also didnt have the plastic protection on the volume controls on the back.

Just wondering what your situation was. They said mine would have been security checked, but sod that. Let them security check someone elses phone.

how did you get the software update check using lg bridge?

i open lg bridge and connect via airdrive and it states AIRDRIVE IS BUSY when trying a software update. Disconnect airdrive and software update states no mobile connected (even when plugged in via uSB).

I really cant cope with a phone that only has 6 hours battery life

Had some issues with battery life when I first got mine, seem to be driven by a few obvious apps when I looked at battery usage, shut them down and reduced screen brightness to more sensible levels and it has run like a dream since then, much better battery life than my previous HTC One M8

chocci to Filo25

7 Dec 15 #89

obvious apps such as?

I know facebook is the biggest battery killer of them all

The auto brightness on the G4 is crap too - really low so you cant read the screen properly when its twilight.

Sorry obvious in this case just meant that there were a few processes killing the battery when i looked in the battery usage stats, shut them down and its been fine ever since

7 Dec 15 #91

For any one suffering with LG G4 battery drain, i just followed following steps and drastically improved. Pretty happy now.

install and use clean master.
disable all auto sync.
disable location services for all applications.
disable Dual Window( very important one ).
disable weather or live wallpaper app.
disable smart settings.

striker33 to maha4india

9 Dec 15 #100

Or just buy a Nokia 3310, better will last longer and no need to disable the "smart" in "smartphone".

In all seriousness though, battery drain was horrible on marshmallow. It's the first android device I've ever had this kind of drain on before. I'm not gonna spend days on end troubleshooting with wakelock detectors and disabling every feature the phone has just to make it through a day of light usage.

Oh and I'm confident that ebuyer are either selling returns or repackaged customer returns too. Going purely on what I received. Businesses do it all the time, even reputable ones.

Good example is the nexus 6p. Just found out the one I was selling on here was actually registered to another users Google account before mine, so they couldn't find the imei linked to my account (was querying warranty transfer), yet it was bought " brand new" from Google play store. I caught them with their pants down, and they immediately offered me a refund or replacement no questions, for a phone that was over a month out of the return period.

Sadly, ebuyer suck at returns. Should have spent the extra 20 and got it from amazon.

Also for those wanting a slightly more expensive alternative, the moto x style is excellent with the marshmallow update. The units on amazon are also brand new out of the factory, where as carphone warehouse units are old stock with dodgy vibration motors.

Seems like you may need a firmware update: V10f-SEP-04-2015
- OTA route or through the
- LG Bridge computer software, which is available for Windows and OSX.

The new software version is listed as V10f-SEP-04-2015
Software version: V10f

Below is the list of improvements:
Reduced fuel consumption and heating of the smartphone
Implemented a limiting brightness of the display when the temperature is too high
Changed the icon selector brightness in the notification bar
Added a security warning when you turn up the volume too high using headphones, in accordance with EC directives
Added the "Taking the cheese" in the camera to take the picture saying "cheese!"
Fixed some anomalies of disconnection with bluetooth equipment mounted on BMW 5 Series
Improved performance of Wi-Fi in sleep mode
Added hot key to hold and retrieve a call
Update Google Mobile Suite
Implement the latest security patches

Hope it helps, otherwise:

Thanks OP. I'd been hanging on for a BF deal but this looks like the cheapest it will be for a while from a UK dealer. I'd forgotten eBuyer used Yodel - the last thing I'd bought from them was in 2011 and I swore I'd never use them again. As it happened, ordered Wednesday, arrived Saturday - wasn't in but left with neighbour. No dramas.

The phone itself is ace. Updated to Marshmallow via LG bridge and I've not experienced any of the battery issues that others have seen - in fact it's waaaay better than the Nexus 4 it replaced had ever been. Still getting to grips with the LG launcher, but sticking with it as I love the double tap to wake/sleep. The camera is everything that everybody has said as well. Happy bunny!

chocci to JohnnieS

8 Dec 15 #96

agreed - i put marshmallow on it and went for a 90 minute walk with music over bluetooth and lost 1% battery in all that time.

I just got a new one delievered from BuyMobiles.net

Not sealed (unlike the stock I got from Vodafone) and the sticker which you peel off when you first get the phone on the volume controls was missing. Going to have to call them tomorrow.

I'd avoid, I think there selling returned customer phones as new if the condition looks like it hasn't been switched on.

Received mine a few days back. Scuffed out of the box, and the screen has dark patches / pressure marks all over it.

housenation

9 Dec 15 #101

I would echo strikers comments that at least some of the phones ebuyer are supplying appear to be returns/open box products although ebuyer said "some of these LG phones will arrive unsealed from the manufacturer". I've contacted ebuyer but am less than impressed by there customer support. Wish I'd spent the extra £20 and got it from Amazon!

Given up. logged a return - will need to battle with them on the phone tomorrow no doubt.

Multiple unacceptable faults including

1. Phone Overheats. Shut itself down after first 1 or 2 hours use
2. Ghost touches - phone appears to randomly register screen touches when there are none.
3. Lag: fails to respond to screen touches in the expected time
4. Fails to save photographs & screen captures

Maybee I was just unlucky.

Factory sealed with the individual white sticker that says do not accept this if this seal is broken? What colour did you go for? I'm tempted to get on but had one already from BuyMobiles.net which wasn't factory sealed which was annoying.

lonechump

11 Dec 15 #112

Just so you know. I ordered the black leather phone. They come with a spare plastic back. I wasn't sure between the brown and the black. The black leather one comes with a gold plastic back. As I have a cover I expect to use the plastic back most of the time. I wouldn't have gone for the black one if I had known that my phone would have been gold. Hope that makes sense - I can't be bothered to reword it

I bought mine from direct from Amazon but the box didn't have any seal. The phone and the accessories, however, had plastics on. Should I be worried? I thought may be lg didn't have their boxes sealed but I understand most of you had yours sealed.

Thar to angelicsmile

14 Dec 15 #117

The two I bought had no seals.

Rich-G to angelicsmile

15 Dec 15 #119

No it will be fine. I googled when mine wasn't sealed and about 40% of them don't come sealed depending on where it is sourced. The reason I sent mine back in the end because despite the box not being sealed - I could live with that, the plastic protection that you peel off was missing on the volume control. If you watch the unboxing videos all of them have plastic protection on the front, back, sides and volume controls on the back. Mine was missing the volume control one, that and the fact that it wasn't sealed made me believe someone had maybe opened it and decided to return it.

I didn't want a customer return which this clearly was. No seal, no plastic protection. Let someone else have that for the cost.

16 Dec 15 #122

Just checked the ones I bought. There's a small clear plastic cover on the plastic back cover, a plastic screen protector on the front and around the edge of the handset. Nothing on the volume control, but the plastic on the back is cut around it.
