    Thread Z2 Force Variations, which is recommended?

    Seen a number of variations of the phone, wonder which is best and why. From a radios aspect looks like Verizon -01 is best having the most CDMA and GSM radios. Verizon has also released the Android 9 which is nice. Next is the Sprint -02 phone, it also has both sets of radios, but not as many...

    Thread Z2 Force Factory Screen Protector Removal

    Does anyone have instructions or information on the replacement of the factory screen protector? I know Motorola can replace the screen protector and some folks have had it done for free. Does going this route requires any proof of purchase or other requirements. I've seen a youtube video...

    Post Overall love

    Do folks still have love for this phone? Any key issues people should be aware of? I heard of a bug causing the battery to drain introduced in an update. Also wanted to know if screen always on is an issue with burn in. Please share any user experience issues you'd consider as a deal breaker.

    Post Is it possible to adjust throttle for Stock?

    Option: Turn off throttling Only thing I've found for stock is the option to turn off throttling all together. I gave this a try and it does look to work for the most part. I'm able to consistently get Antutu speeds in the 58K range, but the temps are a bit scary. Even with the thermal tape...

    Thread Is it possible to adjust throttle for Stock?

    Have pogo, want to know if it's possible to throttle stock. Pogo doesn't like root, and the root with magisk isn't something I really want to do. Think pogo may eventually figure a way to detect it too.

    Post Use Thermal Paste to Cooling the G3

    Not sure why you don't like my suggestion, it's pretty much the same as using a 1mm thick pad. Except you have .5 on the SoC and .5 on the chassis. Yes, I did flatten it some to avoid loss of contact.

    Post Use Thermal Paste to Cooling the G3

    Yup, it's like a double sided foam tape. I used .5mm and doubled it up. I attached one to the chassis and one to the chip itself. Mike

    Post Use Thermal Paste to Cooling the G3

    Let us know how it works. BTW, I agree that it's better to use a newer pad. the pads loose their moisture over time and effectiveness. At least I've had that experience with thermal paste.

    Haven't noticed this issue, I don't have before wi-fi signal readings to be sure, but wifi seems fine. I used a 0.5 mm thermal pad vs 1 mm, however I did double up on the SoC itself. Don't know how you decided to apply the tape. My other thought is it could be related to reassembling the...

    Variations in score due to heat I ran Antutu several times in a row to wear down a new extended battery on the LG3 stock 30e. Scores started at 64k+ and after about 5 straight runs, went down into the 38k range! Each time I ran the benchmark, the scores would lower about 10k. The phone hit...

    Thanks to all. I ended up using the Arctic thermal pad 6.0 W/mK. I applied a .5mm pad across the width of the chassis and just covered the chip with a square. The results are pretty good, temperatures are matching my Sammy Galaxy S5 which was running anywhere from 10 to 20 degC cooler than...

    Post Highest Stable G3 Temp?

    Well guys, this isn't just benchmarking. If you use the phone for GPS services or Pokemon Go, it's not hard to hit the 80's. Especially when ambient temp is in the 90's. I live in TX, don't have much of a choice regarding ambient temp here for Pogo.

    Paste suggestions? I've seen a few different variations of this fix: 1: Paste - Gap too big for paste, can dry out over time and be messy. 2: Shim - GPS signal block issues? 3: Thermal pad. - Looks like the most promising. That being said, I'm going with the thermal pad approach, but...
