Is there a port for LG G4 Camera on the G Flex 2?



Hi,

anyone know how this is done? I tried the same way as for the G3 users and I got FC even when I restored the old camera. Has anyone made this work? I know its possible on the G3



G Flex is so good I can't even find a real upgrade device



http://www.phonearena.com/phones/benchmarks

Look at iPhone 6s/6s+'s, 750p/1080p, beats Android flagships in benchmarks and destroys them in on-screen GPU tests and real world usage. It literally doubled note 5 in on-screen FPS.

G Flex with its 720p screen and Snapdragon 800 is THE bester battery/performance combination period. I am on LTE all day browsing the web and playing Hearthstone against people in real time, and even with this heavy usage I get 4-5 hours screen time. If I am on WIFI easily 5-6 hours screen time. My phone never overheats and I haven't seen any of the Snapdragon 805/810 devices being faster in real usage because of their 2K screens. In fact, all of them are a step backward in battery life. I never felt 720p non-pentile screen is lacking in any way, low resolution / large text is a benefit when viewing contents that don't dpi scale properly!

For me, LG G3/G4/GFlex 2 are without any question downgrades. Battery life is significantly worse, screens are smaller, increased performance of CPU/GPU don't even cover the resolution increase. Just look at on-screen tests.

Really wish they make more 720p/1080p devices with latest processors, it looks like I am being pushed to iPhone 6s+ / 7+ down the road if nobody in Android camp wises up. 2K screen is a downgrade not an upgrade in overall user experience!

Main board socket for flex cable is super fragile, has anyone replaced it?



So, just like many other owners I have had the following problems: bootloop, mic doesn't work, speaker doesn't work, fuzzy/crazy screen, touch not responding, USB connection not recognized, and LEDs not working .

I went through all the tricks which included putting pressure on the back of the phone where the flex cable attaches under the camera, and this temporarily solved the problem. Eventually no matter how hard I pushed, it would not work. I know now how this made things worse (explained later). So when that stopped working I ordered a new flex cable like others had, hoping it would be a permanent fix. Nope, no change. However, when I was detaching the flex cable for the last time, I noticed some of the pins in the main socket lifting up. Ah of course that's why pushing helps, the pins on the female side are broken and pushing helps re-establish their connection. The problem with the pushing solution, and especially when you push hard, the pins will bend away and never re-establish the connection.

If you look at an open phone, the socket (shown in the pic below) is located in the area most susceptible to damage in my opinion. I call it the fault line where the rigid battery meets the not so rigid main board. If you have micro cracks on the side of your phone, you have most likely flexed/bent your phone along this fault line. I keep my phone in my back pocket so I'm sure I have sat down and done this many times.


So, the socket has the disadvantage of not being very sturdy, along with sitting on the fault line. The stresses placed upon it are likely snapping the pins. Here's the specs showing each pin. (rotate counter-clockwise to match up) On my phone, the left side of the socket was lifting out so all of those pins had snapped. These pins correspond to the problems I was having, eg. speaker, mic, screen, etc.


I don't know if this is a DIY fix or not. The pins are so small that if they hadn't lifted for me, I could not tell if they were snapped or not. I can tell you that the part number is ENBY0057001. I just haven't been able to find it in North America yet. If I did, would it be easy replace the broken one for a low cost?

Thanks
*crossing fingers my nexus 5 can be saved*
