It's okay, I guess, but I'm having trouble with the email. I signed in my email on my phone, and I haven't been getting any emails that people have sent me, but when I signed into my email on my tablet, I received all my emails. I don't know what it is, at first I thought it was the email, but it's something wrong with the phone...please fix

Hey, Guys.
Iam from India and planning to go for this phone, but my problem is that Iam a big fan of Amoled screens with great colour reproduction but find no other Samsung phone in by budget except Note 2, which is too old and outdated.
I find colours of other screens washed out compared to Amoleds. I want to buy this phone but want to know if it's colour reproduction can be compared to Amoleds or is it like washed out? Also how are the Blacks?
Is the speaker loud and clear?

So this is for people who are experiencing issues while accessing media files after the kitkat update.
Reason: Google acted all cheeky and took off the auto scan feature (used to automatically scan the SD card every time you booted the phone. This was apparently done for a good reason to make it more secure.
I had issues with the phone not identifying the music files on the SD Card. The following players seem to work.
Rocket Player- Has a setting to rescan the device - something I guess you will have to do once you add new music files.
n7player - Has a better interface
Trax Music player - You can access the SD card and play songs in specific folders ( file size is small)
I am sure there are more.
Battery Drain- yes, I faced the issue too. I was crestfallen to see that my phone battery went down from 80% to 2% without any activity (I was sleeping)in 8 hrs. I then drained the battery completely, charged to 100%. For some reason it charges really fast through computer connected USB compared to a proper power connection.
I switched off the auto brightness and installed advanced task killer (scheduled it to kill apps every half an hr)
it has worked and I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will continue. I DON'T want to root my phone as it has been good.
Hope this helps!

Hi, Updated my G PRO E988 in India on 5th July and used for last two days. For everybody I did hard reset my phone after update as hard reset removes any application/update related bug/functional interference. Below is full hands on experience:
No gos first :
- Battery draining is shocking. Immediately after update, battery dropped from 26% to 15% and same shows in battery usage graph. Got screenshot of the same for LG to analysse.
- Charged full battery y'day to 100% whein I deliberately kept phone plugged for an hour extra even after fully charged to see battery behaviour of overcharge/extra charge.
- Battery draining on 3G network while using phone (not necessary browsing but data is on) is like 1% drop for every two minutes. My battery dropped from 92% to 85% in 15 minutes today morning when I was not browsing but my 3G data was on and I was checking whatsapp messages. Screen is on 60% auto which is pretty dim in room light. Battery draining on 3G network wss like 1% for every 5 minutes on 4.1.
- Network on 3G is not stable and phone keeps looking for network every now and then, it was not the case earlier and not the case with my other number put in Nokia phone having 3G connection.
- Battery dimming on auto mode is too extreme. in 4.1 auto dimming was virtually non functional and now it is too much functional causing eye strain.
- Internal available memory seems to have gone down by some 200 odd mb may be due to update software being larger than earlier one.
Pros
- UI is smooth and more responsive.
- Fonts, themes etc are available thru LG smart world.
- Immersive screen mode is good and exciting.
- RAM manager shows more RAM available than earlier. I noticed that after my normal usage earlier RAM available used to be in the range of 700 mb which is now in 800 mb range so enhancement of 100 mb which is some 10-12% more.
- I m not sure but looks like LED management has improved, earlier I had to install third party application to customise LED alerts but it is working fine with default configuration.
- Standby battery management has improved dramatically e.g. i switched off my data around 10 p.m. y'day night and today morning @ 5.45 a.m. battery had gone down by 1% only but as soon I switched on my 3G data, it straightaway went down by another 1% and then draining quickly.
- Exchange activesyc for corporate mails has improved by providing zoom and text wrapping option which was earlier not available.
- Dialer shows little larger text which is handy for all and good usage of large screen.
Rest I am still testing.. will keep updating others.

Though i spammed LG india on twitter like anything.
I was excited about the upgrade but now i feel sad about it.
Notification LED doesnt work for apps other than SMS , Calls and Alarms.
Battery life is screwed.
Auto brightness sucks big time. It dims the screen to an extent that you will end up un-checking auto brightness option.

Hey ...I noticed it and discovered that kitkat does not autoscan the media. It used to scan the sd card when the device was booted when it had jelly bean....it doesn't do that anymore and none of the scan apps help ...i did not try the root based apps cuz I don't want to root this phone
So I got it to read the music files in my internak memory. I connected the phone via usb to the pc and selected the 'media sync' option to try and trick it..and well it worked and I am now trying to get the sd card music to be identified
