Lg buttons on back of lg phone

Aug 10, 2016 7:13PM PDT

Ive been loyal to lg phones for over a decade. Recently got the stylo, and it had this horrible design defect. All the buttons were recessed on the back of the phone, hard to operate, and seldom worked. My daughter got the same phone, same problems. My son recently purchased a newer different model lg phone with the same defect. I finally got so frustrated I went to trade it for a new phone. The lady said all of the new lg models have this defective design. On...purpose. I was forced to purchase another brand of phone.

Please tell me this isn't true! If you plan on making all of your phones so ridiculously difficult to operate, you will be losing these devoted customers completely. I mean I could never turn the dang phone on. Then the lady Said " but there's the knock technology" ... I can't use that. I tried. I carry my phone in my pocket, with many other things. It was constantly knocking on accidentally. And I could never get it to work right on purpose.

Then I saved all my memos to a card, only to find nobody can read them except lg phones. That's a horribly evil trick to play on people. My daughter still hasn't replaced her poorly designed phone, so I will borrow hers n copy all the text to a text file before she turns hers in. Because, I truly hope you will one day make good phones again. But if you truly think these buttons on the back were a good design, then I really don't know what to expect from you. I may have to find another company to be loyal to. I really hope you tell me your moving those buttons...

I have the LG G4.

It's working fine. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to feel for the power and volume buttons but it beats my prior phone that would power up in my pocket (the button was on top.)

As to data moving about, I'll have to take a closer look.

I have the LG G4 also and never had these issues but this is the only LG product I've ever owned.
