Camera is the bizness. Headphone Jack barely even drives my Senheissers

What volumes do you guys drive your headphones too?
I can barely go past a 1/3 volume(perhaps half with some headphones) and my ears are starting to complain its too loud, that's with virtually any headphones, IE/over-ears/on-ears etc. Too date don't think I have ever had a device with insufficient volume, only time I came close was driving some 250 Ohm studio headphones, even then it was enough.

Volume aside the headphone output sound quality seems very decent and the built-in speaker is with out a doubt the best I have heard, its spectacularly loud and clear for what it is.

Max volume on my Senheisser HD419 doesn't even say hello. But on my wife's Sony stock and LG Stock are pretty loud. But on the whole the headphone drivers are weak.

Has anyone tested the DNG RAW output on the LG Camera app on MM, I'm hoping they've fixed it or at least improved it?

finally updated to MM - no battery problems, but some hassles writing to SD card using WPS office and I see the notification LED problem has not been fixed (get a Whatsapp, read it, reply, turn screen off, LED flashes..... )

edit: oh and I see the G4 does not allow the SD card to be formatted as internal storage, as other MM phones do
and another thing that I've noticed is that the phone charges much faster when using a QC charger

Okay after a month, my brown leather is showing wear and tear on three corners. I really like the feel of the leather. But I am using the plastic one for a change. It's like a shiny silver back.
The plastic does change the feel of the phone, makes it feel like the stylus

Upgraded to MM, appears all good so far, what are the standout features of MM that I should be aware of?
Google Tap seems pretty cool?

Happened to me, took it in and two weeks later I had a new phone via CellC. PC Board bombed out according to them.

Anyone have this bug after upgrading to MM? :

The volume pop-up box/notification(when you use the hardware volume buttons to change the volume)doesn't fade out unless you touch the screen, I timed it and if you don't touch the screen it takes 17sec to finally decide to go away.
It is annoying when the notification is blocking you seeing something on the screen in an app/webpage etc.

Wonder what the problem could be, apart from the battery life being a bit rubbish MM seems fine, I tried disabling developer mode/animation tweaks but that didn't help,thought that could have been the cause.

Seems like it, once the battery gets to 5% it turns on. I dropped it the other day, now got a little dent on the bottom corner sigh :-(. My cover is taking ages to arrive.

Hi Lupus, thank you for the feedback. Are you aware of any method to disable this?

Having a weird issue, have full signal but I can't dial out or receive calls and it's says Emergency calls only.

If I put my sim(Mtn) into another phone, an old Nokia and it works fine.

Phone shows this info when I go to the about page:

Went to Mtn, they said they had 3 people in this afternoon with the same issue as me, all on different smart phones, the sim won't work in a smartphone(only basic phones) they had no idea what the issue is - they referred the people to the repairs dept. I did a sim swop hope that sorts it out.

Saw similar with MTN in the s7 thread.

LTE related. Disable lte till MTN fix their mess.
