Samsung HTC and Motorola are not the only three manufacturers that pack fun features into their phones LG has a knack for the same exact thing I'm Taylor Martin this is PocketNow and here are three fun things to do with the LG g3 before I get started I'd like to tell you about a cool company called simple mobile founded on the idea that your mobile phone is an extension of your own personal freedom simple mobile has a great way to do wireless joining simple is super easy just use your own GSM phone purchase a simple mobile SIM card activate one of the simple mobile unlimited plans then follow the easy process to set up simple mobile on your phone it's well simple want to learn more about how to save money on your phone bill by joining simple mobile just click this box or the link in the description below to learn more about how you can start saving money and get in on the simple way of doing Wireless the LG g3 is a seriously impressive smart phone and LG managed to pack some very helpful features into the software without making the user experience overbearing and excessive the first of one of those features is not code with the power standby key around back double tapping the display is the easiest way to turn the screen on password of pin locks are also very strongly recommended if you keep sensitive information on your phone but having to constantly enter a password or PIN can grow very annoying with LG's NOC code feature you can create a combination of taps on an invisible grid which will unlock your phone this NOC sequence is just as easy to remember as a pin and it's much faster and less annoying to enter every time you need to access your phone best of all you don't even have to worry about accuracy another fun thing to do that you can't do on just any old Android smartphone not straight out of the box anyway is to customize the navigation buttons first and foremost if you don't like the default color solid white you have three more color options a white gradient solid black and a black gradient you can also toggle whether the background is transparent on the home screen or not more importantly if you don't like the order of the buttons you can easily rearrange them in the button settings navigate to the home touch button submenu under display in settings select button combination and long press and drag the buttons to rearrange LG also includes for optional buttons you can add at least two of at a time quickmemo+ queues a dual window and the notification shortcut the ladder is extremely helpful since the 5.5 inch display is a little large for one-handed use it's definitely a nice touch to have complete control over the order of the buttons and have four additional buttons to take advantage of the wasted space in the navigation bar finally guest mode it happens to everyone a friend's phone dies or they lose their phone or they simply don't have one and they need to make a phone call or look something up you don't want them snooping around in your personal stuff with the g3 you can activate guest mode within guest mode settings you can select exactly which apps the guest has access to like calculator Chrome camera games YouTube whatever you feel comfortable with other people using on your phone to use guest mode you'll need to set some form of security lock on your phone and the password must be different than your standard password for instance if you regularly use NOC code as your form of security you must enter a different NOC sequence to enter guest mode so if you leave guest mode on in the background all you have to do from the lock screen to enter the mode is to enter the alternative password it's effortless and extremely handy to have around what g3 features do you find fun or helpful share them in the comments below folks thanks for watching and if you enjoyed this video be sure to click the thumbs up below and subscribe to the channel to see more videos like this one in the future be sure to follow us in all the usual places twitter facebook and google+ at pocket now I'm Taylor Martin you can find me on twitter at casper tech and i will see you next time
