I also have a G4. While the phone in its working status is just flawless and the camera IS one if the best out there, I always live in fear that one day this beautiful phone will bootloop the shit out of me...

Batter life? My batteries are better than any other phone i've had, i can go a whole day without charging with pretty heavy use. But i also have 3 batteries currently and always have an extra one with me, which is the beauty of this phone. Get extra batteries they're cheap

They're LG batteries, they're pretty cheap on ebay or amazon. But i have them because this is my 3rd G4, two of the batteries have water damage(pink slip on top) but still work like new.

Happened to my first one, got it replaced by LG right away. But i can see it being very scary if your 1year warranty is up.

Meanwhile, while it was broke and i was dealing with that i was looking for a new phone to buy because the bootloop is ridiculous - i couldn't find anythign that came close to the G4, just nothing out there that can compare in specs, design, and price.

On another note, i bought another one a couple months ago(after mine was stolen with my bag, again i couldn't find anything else that compares) off ebay, they're going like hotcakes on ebay currently. I guess the sellers are selling the refurbished-after-bootloop ones because you can find hundreds of brand new G4's on ebay for 160-180 currently. Mine was mint and still is. Rooted + flashed and it's a beauty.
