This was a purchase to replace our old G3.  It works very well. The only downside to the Baraduca is the diaphragm sometimes chokes on an acorn and stops working.  If one doesn't have oak trees close-by the pool, there wouldn't be such a problem.

This phone is a good replacement for my beloved old Samsung feature phone. The ONLY thing I don't like is that the keyboard slides open to the side instead of down, not a big deal. Everything was easy to set up (much much easier than my smart phone) and I was texting away with hardly a pause as soon as I got it. So far I am very happy with it!

I bought these for an upcoming trip to Barcelona. The battery life on the LG G3 is subpar. But since I bought these batteries I never worry about my phone dying since I always carry a backup.

These batteries seem to last the same amount of time as the battery that comes with the G3. They take the same time to charge too. The charger that comes with this set is handy too. It ensures that I always have at least 2 charged up batteries at all times.

For the price, I would say this purchase is a no brainer. Wish I had done it sooner.

Good phone; good deal.  Works well. Ads are no problem.  If you need a mid level quality phone this one works well.  Replaces my LG G3 just fine.

I finally traded in my LG G3 for the G4 a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately, the phone case didn't fit the new phone. I had such a bad experience with the G3, and I wished I'd never picked that phone. From the beginning it gave me nothing but trouble and I can't believe I took so long to go back and get a new one. For some reason, I guess I just thought it was operator malfunction and that it was something I'd done to it. Little did I know, it really was the phone. In fact, my husband had the some serious issues with his LG, too and just thought that it was the carrier's fault for all the dropped calls. At any rate, we both have new phones now and they're working like they're supposed to and we're loving them!
Back when I'd bought the first phone, I remember spending top dollar for a phone case, the screen cover and all these other accessories, but now I know to go to Amazon first. So I came upon this set from Ringke and I thought it was such a good deal that it almost seemed too good to be true. I like the fact that the case itself is Clear rubber and that the beauty of my phone shows through. The case feels like silicone or latex, at least it has that flexible and supple feel to it. It fits on easily, but I kind of wish it came over the front edges a bit more. I didn't put the screen protector on my phone though, I didn't like the Blue color of it. I had an extra glass protector from the LG3, so I had my daughter put that one on instead, but it doesn't fit flush with my new phone and with this case. I ordered another one. so I'll have her put it on for me, once I get it. Still, overall, I think this is a pretty nice phone case and it does its job just fine. I also like the little caps that cover the audio and power port holes on the bottom of the phone.

It has definitely increased the time I can go without having to charge my G3

Would buy more if needed. Battery was delivered on time and I've had 0 issues from the moment I ordered through Amazon.

SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE GEN 4!  I bought this to replace my G4 and the new one got here the day the old one died.  Put a case on it and the mild wear and tear disappeared.  Strong battery and works great.

One of the two buttons to my original remote broke off exposing the electronics inside.  Reprogrammed the second button and the Genie remote worked fine.  But being concerned about the exposed electronics, I purchased the G3T-R.  The price appeared to be good and the shipment arrived on time.  Following the instructions for my Intellicode 1 Genie opener, it was easy to program one of the buttons to my old Genie system.  It works fine with my Intellicode 1 system.

I have had this server operational for about 3 months , the server arrived with all the options advertised and in very clean condition.
What else can i say, purchasing a 1 generation back G6 instead of G7 for my disaster recovery plans, saved me a ton of money as opposed to new.

Bought this to replace an old one I recently cracked and I feel it has a better feel and response. Easy to install and very satisfied with my purchase.  My LG G3 feels new again.

I am in love with this phone for the price between 200 _ 300 $ I find this to be the best, g3 is to big for hands, it has amazing battery life, the double click feature is awasome.. Would love it more if it had a better front camera than 2.1MP.. have two g2 and one g3 in my family.. My second one was not working properly on the double tap. Closing was fine butit wasn't opening.. Checked online easy solution in the hidden menu option..love it..

This S3 replaced an S3 that died on me in Africa.

I did not want a newer model as I like the way the S3 works.

I bought a Baracuda G3 recently to replace a G2 that I'd used for about 5 years, that seemed to be disintegrating, pieces breaking off.  I didn't hold this against Zodiac because it was in use every day during that period, in water temps from 35 to 105 degrees, depending on season.  Under those conditions,, 5 years is a pretty good useful life.  The only maintenance cost on the G2 was replacing the diaphragm yearly, and I expect the G3 to be the same.  The lack of moving parts is a big advantage, especially compared to a Hayward I had previously that had lots of little feet and levers that failed regularly, needing a new repair kit at a cost over $100 every one/two years.

The G3 looks a lot like the G2, and I'm using the old G2 hose sections and connectors, except for a few sections that appeared to be leaking. I didn't do much to set it up since I had the old hose and connectors, just assembled and put it to work.  It moved around, sweeping up debris, but I noticed that some areas were never reached even though the hose was long enough to get to them, and also that the G3 appeared to follow a regular pattern, spending a lot of time high up on the walls and skipping a lot of the pool floor.  I remembered that the G2 had a hose weight, so I found the one included with the G3 and put it on the neck of the unit, just below the hose connection.  This made no difference, so I consulted an online manual (more complete than you get in the box) and saw that the weight was supposed to be positioned in the middle of the hose section that connects to the unit.  Moving it there made a significant difference, the G3 now spends less time at the top of the pool wall and covers more of the floor with less patterning.
As the manual points out, you can also change the flow rate using the adjustable inline regulator, and straighten out the hose sections by laying them out straight on the deck for a few hours on a warm sunny day.  But I'm hoping that putting the weight in the right place will take care of things.  Being lazy, I'd prefer not to have to keep fiddling with it to get it working right.

Finally, for those who have problems with their Baracuda getting stuck under a ladder or other projections, I had another G2 in a different pool that would routinely get stuck in either of 2 ladders, and just stay there vibrating away until you noticed and pulled it away.  I solved this problem by removing the big plastic ring that snaps onto the neck of the unit, since it was clear after awhile that it was the ring that was catching on the ladder.  Maybe this will help someone with a similar problem.

In summary, I like the G3 so far and would recommend it.

My upgrade was not until November and I couldn't wait to dump my Galaxy S3. I have been doing my research on a new phone since back in May and was taken aback by the G3 with it's screen, camera and excellent reviews. I knew the Note 4 and the new iPhones were on the horizon as well and am adept at using both Android and iOS so this would not be a problem.

Well price became a factor for me and I knew the G3 was the lowest priced of the devices in regards to a 2 year contract update with AT&T but was not willing to pay 199.99 or even 99.99 not including tax for the device as I figured I might as well shell out the extra money for either a Note 4 or the iPhone 6. When the G3 dropped to 49.99 on November 1 (the first day I could get my upgrade) I was sold. Getting a deal on a great phone with a great screen is always a good feeling especially when you know you will have to use said device for the next two years. The screen is a power hog as CNET described but it sure is beautiful and the little speaker on the back has more power to it than any other phone I have ever owned.

If you are worried about having the power and volume on the back of the phone don't be, you get used to it very quickly. The knock knock feature is excellent as well, it makes having an actual button on the front of the device seem outdated. LG really did a marvelous job with this phone. I just wish it had come with a new pair of headphones but my old samsung ones should work fine.

The camera is decent. The laser autofocus works very well but the grainy android photos are still an issue indoors and at night, I will have to try taking a picture outside during the day to see if anything changes. This seems to be an across the board issue with every android device I have ever used but from what I was using (S3) this is a massive improvement. I will have to see pictures on a Note 4 to compare at some point and am aware the iphone 6 plus probably does take a better picture in low light and indoors. Again for the price I am not complaining, THIS PHONE IS THE BIGGEST STEAL FOR ANYBODY RIGHT NOW!

If you are living on a tight budget and need a new device BUY THIS PHONE! The screen size is just right and for being 5.5 inches it is incredibly ergonomic! The displays at the store do not do this phone justice, THIS IS THE BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK PHONE ON THE MARKET RIGHT NOW! Easily smokes my friends S5! Even the stock weather and clock on the home screen are beautiful! Anybody that gets this device will tell you for the money you will love it!

This is easily a far superior and less cluttered (far less bloatware than Samsung devices) android experience, if you want the Nexus 6 but don't like the fact it does not have SD CARD SUPPORT OR A REMOVABLE BATTERY you will love the LG G3!!!!!!! This is the best android phone of 2014 by far! I love my Nexus 7 tablet since it is pure android but for the money and removable battery and sd card support (it takes up to a 128gb but I put in a 64gb) this is the best android phone for the money! Bang for your buck this is it!

This was an exact replacement for my LG G4 phone.  I was concerned about the LG logo not being there or bright enough but it looks like the phone just came off of their line.  The installation was pretty easy.  There are plenty of videos online that will walk you through it.  Getting the screen and frame was worth every penny.  The only thing I would like to mention to anyone who is doing this for the first time is to be gentle with the top speaker.  That was the only thing that gave me some trouble.  SLOW and steady when removing it....if it breaks you can get a replacement one but I didn't want to wait another couple days.  Not the end of the world.  I will update this in a few months if anything goes wrong but so far so good.  Hopefully I don't drop my phone and have to buy another one but if I do then I wouldnt hesitate to reorder this.  LG made it pretty easy.
